T-34

Give me the Axe.

Chop faster.

It's scary here.

Lieutenant Major ...

There, that's better.

Germans

Let's move out

Where are you going? Are you crazy?

We'll swing right by them. They'd have to turn the turret to fire on us.

Once they have locked the turret on us then count to 4

2 3 4

Here we go. Count again, now.

Count.

2 3 4

We're gonna' die. Hit the gas. Let's get out of here.

Count.

2 3 4

He has changed the loading pattern.

Hold on.

- We're alive. - Yeah, somehow?

Kolja

Vasilov

Rezeda, it's Topol here. 10-4

You have to stop them.

I understand. I understand.

Repeat. Repeat.

battalion.

Comrade Colonel, the Battalion has only a single tank left.

What else is there?

Here. Everything is shot up, as well as half of the infantry.

And the tank unit has no commander, our men were all badly burned.

- Yes, myself included... - We fought to the death.

I understand we must to fight to the death.

Give me a light.

The Germans are heading towards Nyefjodov.

I will command.

This village must be manned by troops to cover the retreat of the brigade and from the hospital.

Good morning, Comrade Captain.

Lieutenant Ivuskin here and waiting for your orders.

My report

On the way here an enemy tank attacked our supply truck

but the troops' hot food is delivered.

- Are you an armour tank soldier? - Yes

my brother

We expected Stalin... but we got you.

Tank squad, line up.

Pay attention

I'll introduce your new commander.

Lieutenant Ivuskin. Please accept him with love.

Good morning comrades.

Good morning...

Ivuskin has arrived for combat duty.

He now carries all our hopes

Good luck.

Go to hell.

At ease.

Why do I see that your mood is sour?

Outline the task Commander

The Germans broke through to the village of Nyefjodov. Our task is to keep the village.

Let's assess the remaining troop strength and the brigade plus the hospital retreat plans.

- So how many Germans are there, Comrade? - According to intelligence, more than a hundred.

- Our Infantry? - Only a tank.

Oh what fun this will be or what?

A tank without infantry support?

Support. We'll scrape together a few infantry men.

We... we are fools.

Pavlo, give me your revolver, I'll shoot myself now.

Shut up.

Lieutenant, we have been fighting for a week we have had no sleep, it is a wonder we are still standing up.

We're all that is left of a battalion. What is next for us? The slaughterhouse?

Commander, this is the front. Have you ever even been to the front?

What can you tell us about the front?

OK, you you have aired your concerns.

Now listen to me.

Maybe I haven't actually seen a front yet, but I can tell you all

that in Commander Training I received the highest graduating honors.

Now this way.

Why not simply arrange an early vacation by leaving a dummy in the tank?

and go on to cowardly live in an ayslum?

What is the range of your cannon? You think it is one and a half kilometers.

We must get at least two kilometers.

Comrade Ellustultak?

What kind of ammunition are you using?

You don't even know this basic fact.

- Comrade, your family name? - Vasilions.

The engine was warmed up, Vasilions, that's good.

And why is oil leaking into the smokey exhaust?

- Stop the leak. - I understand.

We now have a mission.

and I warn you, any whining in this crew I will consider it as cowardice.

And I will punish you according to the laws of war.

It that understood?

The enemy at the walls of Moscow.

You don't whine here, and don't be ashamed.

Even a single tank is a great force,

if the crew is cohesive and each tank member knows his job.

Lieutenant, Your meeting with Gobulija's is approaching.

Corporal, OK one more minute, please.

Tank squad attention.

Heads up.

Obey my every command.

Double check the tank unit, and prepare for battle.

Load 150% of the standard ammunition allocation.

Remove all excess weight.

Comrade Commander, can my accordion stay?

- Do you play well? - Normally I do.

I will allow one accordion.

CRISIS

At dawn in the morning We are within eyesight of the Gerrys.

Your tank squad will be here.

And over here I will be picking them off.

The road turns, coming from the Gerry's side.

You're a great strategist, Comrade Gobulija.

It's just experience.

Can I help you?

We'll deal with it, Comrade Commander.

OK, you are the commander.

Dear mother, don't worry. I'm fine.

We will break through the Gerrys to get out.

Say Hi to Aunt Manye.

Kiss, Kola.

The Russians can make always something out of nothing.

You think?

The village seems peaceful.

Don't forget Wolf,

Russians are always preparing for something.

Coffee?

Cursed frost.

It is impossible to get used to.

The beard can warm the face.

When do you shave? You look an Ivan.

I'll shave one week from now, when we occupy Moscow.

By this this clock I say we will be the first Germans into Red Square.

First we have to get there.

Start the engines.

Tanks to prepare. Distance is 25 meters.

Forward. Move out.

They are lined up, like kerosene barrels.

3, 4, 5 ...

They are coming nicely.

Like chicks behind a mother hen.

This hen looks familiar to me.

Well, fritz, do we knock once?

Crew, fight.

I understand, Commander.

Kobzarenko, load anti-tank round.

Ready.

Now, Commander, soon it starts.

He's stopped, not continuing further.

Don't worry, Comrade.

Well, turn to the side.

Come on, come on.

Tanks, stop.

Stop the engines.

He senses something unusual.

- What, what happened? - Silence, silence for everyone.

It's way too quiet. Even the dogs are not barking.

Come on, Guram, all our hopes are riding on you.

Attention. Fire on the barn at the 11 o'clock position.

This is it. It was good, Guran.

He's taking the bait.

Come on, come on, go away Guram, go away, and take cover.

22nd, 33rd, destroy that cannon in the barn.

The trap is set. Now get out of the way.

Vaszticski.

You dumb mother fucker. Get out.

Shoot Commander shoot, what are you waiting for?

It is a tat too early, senior comrade.

Well ducklings. Quack quack.

The mother hen is just about there

Two birds with one shot.

Enemy tank under the haystack at 14, 15, degrees. Destroy it.

- Three tanks less. - This is it.

- Vasilions, Get us out of here. - I understand.

Vasilies, what the hell are you doing. Get us the hell out of here.

They are peppering us with machine gun fire their mother hen is all upset.

Wolf, what the hell are you waiting for?

I know what I'm doing. Damn it, you don't go to the forehead.

Fire.

Let's crash them, Commander.

Give them.

I'm a beginner on the front.

Vasilions, put us in the button down reserve position.

Fire. Fire.

I can't see any good targets. Firing finished.

- Comrade, let me start shooting. - Wait, not yet.

We're have to wait for the next tank.

Another one bites the dust.

Minus four tanks.

Come on.

Rotate turret to two o'clock position. Target the barn.

Roger that. Get ready to shoot.

Ready. Fire.

Dam that devil.

Let's get out.

Infantry, cover that tank with smoke.

- Vasilions, pull out. - Gerry's are out there.

I guessed it.

That's Makeyev. Hold the position.

Roger that.
