Pershing pushes through his training, he was recently retrofitted and had a stronger gun and impenetrable armor. He was being sent on a mission soon to eastern Russia. He trudged his tank forward through snow rivers and trees as he reaches a high cliff he's peers through his binoculars seeing the decoy KV-5. He crawled into his turret looking through the sights and adjusting his aim to shoot just about where the ammo rack was and held his fire.

Waiting.... Watching. He finally looked through the reticle one last time and pulled the ignition switch watching the gun fly back lobbing the shell. He peeked through the reticle one last time to see the tank had detonated and was now smoldering. He smiled at his success and pushed forward to the capture point. His excitement soon faded when he remembered there was four enemy tanks he soon back his vehicle into a small concrete fortress making it so any others enemy tanks would be forced to come into his line of sight first. He began to nod off when he heard a machine gun fire.

He looked up to see a T-34 he jumped into his turret and looked through the reticle quickly loading a shell and firing. Cannon breach destroyed. He moved his tank closer and fired another shot into the engine. Transmission,engine, and left track destroyed. He trudged forward when he heard a loud ear ringing sound pierce into the turret as a shell ricochets off the left side he turns the turret looking through the reticle. He sees a familiar tank. The not so feared BT-1 he lines of his barrel and.... BOOM. The tank is wiped of the face of the earth. He looks back at the T-34 and fires as the turret explodes. He turns his attention to the right just as a IS-1 comes around the corner not seeing him he fires. Getting the turret ring. Turret rotation immobilized. He then hits the track as it tries to swivel to face him. Movement immobilized he then aims at the side of the tank firing. He hits the auto loader(I don't know what's in the tank okay?) . He sees a large collum of fire erupt from the turret and soon it explodes.
He soon turns around and heads forward passing the BT and heading back to base. He looks at the clock.

M-26: God damnit it's 19:30 already (7:30) might as well set up camp.

He heads pack the concrete bunker parking his tank and locking all the hatches he gets off his turret onto the chasse and soon to the ground he walks over to a door and opens it heading in and closing the door. He's greeted by a small Dorm like room with a couch a bed a television and a cargo box. He walks over to the couch sitting down and tuning on a radio. He then gets up and throws some logs on a fire place and then realized he doesn't have a ignition pad (flammable wood/cork in the shape of a burger) he walks out to his tank with a towel he dips the towel into the fuel tank and soon walks inside throwing the towel atop the logs and using a lighter to ignite. A small explosion occurs and he steps back but soon after is sitting next to the fire sipping instant coffee. He later hears a knock on the door witch confuses him. He gets up walking over to the door opening it and is greeted by a rush of cold air and a figure running by him into the room and snowfall as well. He closes and locks the door and turns to see a small figure in snow clothing.
