Steel Soviet Union

Anton Yunitsev, the largest bandit leader in this area and the leader of the bandit organization code-named "Jackal" on the German side, uses a down-to-earth way to describe the leader of these Ukrainian bearded men.

Before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, Anton was originally a local reform-through-labor prisoner. He was just over forty years old and still in his prime.

As for the reason why he was sentenced to a labor camp, it was rather bizarre and funny: he cut corners and cut materials on the production line of the Red Army military factory he was responsible for. Today he added sand to recharge the shells and stole some gunpowder. Tomorrow, he got some military steel and secretly exchanged it for money.

What's even more outrageous is that Anton, this old bastard, can always find channels to sell stolen goods, and his methods of doing things are very clever and covert. It wasn't until a certain Red Army tank unit's live-fire exercise that a cannon shell exploded in the chamber, shattering the breech block, and causing two Red Army tank soldiers to be seriously injured and retired. Only then did the incident come to light, and they were arrested and thrown into prison to await trial.

Logically speaking, Anton should have been sentenced to death at a public trial and executed. This person was a true traitor to the motherland, a saboteur, and an accomplice and lackey of the capitalists. His nature was extremely bad.

But just when Anton himself had given up and was about to eat a Mosin-Nagant peanut and go see Comrade Lenin to confess and atone for his sins, the German guy who was like a savior descending from the sky accidentally hit him.

The Germans' swift and fierce offensive caught the entire Ukrainian Red Army off guard and found it difficult to cope with it. On the premise that fire broke out all over the front and they could not take care of it, the prisoners in the rear had almost no time to manage them.

After all, this is not a Gulag. With the war already breaking out and the decline obvious, even the prisons holding military prisoners are far from being strictly guarded.

Anton, who was flexible and smart, seized this last opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity to leave the prison cell to participate in labor and excuse himself to pee, he knocked out the guard who was lighting a cigarette with his head down and took away his belongings. Gun: a Mosin Nagant and 20 bullets, and finally managed to escape and regain his freedom.

Relying on the Mosin Nagant and 20 bullets to get his first pot of gold on the road to entrepreneurship, Anton, who is well-spoken and glib, gave full play to his highly capitalized and flexible mind, using methods including but not limited to threats, intimidation, cajoling, persuasion, Killing chickens to scare monkeys, etc.

In the short two months when the Soviet and German armies were fighting desperately on the Ukrainian battlefield and had no time to think about anything else, they quickly built up a team of more than 200 people.

What? You ask where the guns for more than 200 people come from?

Isn’t this difficult to handle? Just go directly to the battlefield ruins to pick up rags!

After a fierce exchange of fire between the Soviet and German armies, there were countless battlefield relics of various sizes that were left unattended. In addition, the Red Army's consecutive defeats left behind many secret arsenals and supply points scattered all over the place. It is impossible for the Germans to know the specific locations of all these places, but Anton, who used to work in the military industry, knows a little bit.

In this way, relying on their flexible minds and family background advantages, the Ukrainian bandits under Anton became more and more powerful, and in the end they seemed to be a little warlords in the area.

It's just that Anton, who is low-key, doesn't often attack Germans. Even if he wants to kill a German, he will do it absolutely beautifully and leave no trace, so that the German who got a slap in the face still doesn't know what happened. Whoever did it has no way to retaliate.

If necessary, Anton will even use some tricks to frame other gangs that compete with him for territory. Deliberately leaving some false clues and a few corpses that could be traced, he finally achieved his goal of using the hands of the Germans to help him fight against competitive forces and secure his position on the mountain.

As the saying goes, a ship that sails with caution will sail forever. Anton, who has been keeping a low profile and has been cautious to this day, has never encountered any major disaster in the past two and a half years since he became successful in the second half of 1941 until the beginning of 44. The few times the SS launched a search and suppression campaign, the villagers in the surrounding areas who he bribed in advance reported the information in advance and hid.

Anton, who never had a confrontation with a German, was indeed a smart man. He often allowed his men to rob homes and exploit people's wealth, but he was never allowed to attack villages within a radius of ten or twenty kilometers around the station. He even often sent people to these villages. Villagers who have a hard time delivering food and daily necessities.

Although this seems to be a very simple principle of "rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests", in the 21st century it seems to be well known to everyone. But in this age when information is limited and human brain thinking is a bit primitive, Anton, who is smart, has bottom lines and rules in doing things, seems so different and outstanding among a group of bandit leaders.

Many people say that this may be the reason why Anton's team is the best among the gangs and has the strongest strength.

But all this changed when Anton suddenly decided to rob the German armored train a while ago.

Many people think that Anton is crazy. Can you chew down the German armored train with a few broken guns and small cannons? Even if you have armored vehicles and tanks, you may not be sure of victory, but only Anton himself knows that it is absolutely worth taking such a huge risk.

Because maybe it won't be long before even if you want to do such a thing again, you won't have the chance. Anton clearly knows in his heart that there is not much time left before the Germans get out of Ukraine. You must be fully prepared in advance for the coming storm and ensure the supply of supplies for your team. The reason is that simple.

Now, what I had been worrying about finally happened.

Now even an ordinary person who is not so forward-thinking can see that the Germans are over and about to leave. How to deal with the Bolsheviks who are about to move in next has become the most difficult and primary problem that must be solved as soon as possible. The little bosses and right-hand men under him, who had finally managed to get together, were waiting for him eagerly.

To be honest, in the face of absolute strength, any strategy seems so feeble.

Anton really didn't want to admit that he was helpless against the Bolsheviks who had returned to their old territory and regained their dominance, but the current fact was indeed the case. The territory that he had worked hard to build and manage for more than two years might now have to be surrendered. People, move quickly.

"I don't want to deceive you with lies, my brothers."

"Everyone can see now that those Bolsheviks cannot tolerate our existence, and they have better means to deal with us and will kill us even more than the Germans. So what I want to say is that we have to leave here as soon as possible Yes, the earlier the better and the further away the better.”

""

"Leave!? Have you ever thought about where we are going next?"

After all, Anton still has some prestige among his subordinates. This shocking decision did not immediately arouse strong opposition, but instead triggered counter-questions from his subordinates who wanted to hear the whole story.

For answers to such questions, Anton, who is meticulous and leaves no hidden dangers, naturally has already prepared a plan.

"It's very simple. Let's go west, all the way! The Bolsheviks will be busy dealing with the Germans and fighting with them, and the Germans will be busy fighting with the Bolsheviks. Neither side can care about us. The most dangerous place is also the safest!"

"When the Germans and these Bolsheviks enter a strategic stalemate again and stop, we can stop and plan carefully where to develop. We have enough strength and equipment to support us in doing so."

"But first, we have to make some final preparations. For example, when the Germans and Bolsheviks are fighting dog to dog, we can catch them off guard and grab something. Ammunition, food, medicine, vehicles, we are short of everything! This is We will make our last move here and leave. I have already chosen the place. There is a small group of Germans who are being attacked by the Bolsheviks. The strength of both sides is evenly matched, so we will start here. "
