The Red Bear Is in Nihonkoku Shoukan

Battle of Solongrad(2)

'can you feel it? The City's fortune has changed, The Germanic Presence shall be gone by spring'- Vasily 1942

Solongrad, November 17th 1642

A Officer was Eating with his Men far away from the city, For days now both sides had not attacked each other in order to rebuilt what they had lost, the 480 000 Dead Germans and 100 000 Dead Russians were A Sign to Russia that it was Paying off, the more men that died the better, As the Officer ate, He saw outside a Formation of tanks that caught his Eye, He turned to his fellow Officer he knew and asked him about the Tanks.

''Comrade, What's with the tanks? I've Never seen them Before'' He said

''Ah Comrade, you're Looking at the Future of the Red Army, that's the T-14-152'' the Other Officer replied ''It looks the same as a T-14 but it's armed with a 152mm Cannon instead, hence the Name''

The T-14-152 had already began Mass production, replacing the entire Tank Line of Russia, with any Old T-14s being still in Use as they had them made as 'Light Main battle Tanks' With them being used as Support rather than an Attacking force.

'' *Whistles* Comrade, How is this going to help our Supply Issue? Is command expecting us to attack?'' The first Officer stated.

The Officer just nodded, His mouth was filled with food. But this confirmed another Attack was Due, As they ate, Another Soldier, A Captain sat down with them and began to talk with them.

''Comrades, Did you see the Video?'' He asked

''Comrade Luska, We've been over this, give more context when speaking for God's Sake'' said the first officer

Captain Luska had a Habit of saying things without proper context when it didn't do anything with the Military, he just rolled his eyes and mumbled a apology.

''The Live stream of Comrade General Secretary Zelenskyy going to The town of Death?'' Captain Luska said as he took out his Phone and handed it over

It showed a video of Zelenskyy in a Vest and a simple hoodie and sweatpants walking along with KGB Director Putin and General Zhukov just walking around and talking to soldiers, Mostly asking them how they are and where they are from, in the later parts of the Video, the 3 Men are seen helping soldiers building a trench, with some loud audible cruses from Putin after his Shovel Broke.

This Video at first glace looks like Propaganda, but in reality was just Zelenskyy wanting to visit the town himself, and one thing led to another and now he is 'On Tour' In Vestal, now he is a port Peter, Named after Peter the Great, helping soldiers get off the transports and just Having a Blast, Which of course the Russian Union Knows about for his daily Videos are spread to the entire country, which did boost Moral by a decent margin.

''Yeah, Comrade Everyone here has seen it at least one of the videos'' the first Officer said while showing the same video on his Phone ''See?''

Captain Luska just smiled as they continued to talk, After a While the Intercom came on, announcing the start of Operation Venus.

The Operation Called for the Stage by Stage withdraw of the entire city, allowing the Germans to take it, the Goal was to give the Germans a Victory right before vestal was smashed to life by operation Red Dusk, Now Renamed to Operation Red Storm.

As the 3 Men Got up and began to prepare to Leave, They heard a private mumble something about hating this. Safe to say he did not enjoy 500 Push ups. Which they found hilarious.

The Withdraw was made with total silence, the Tanks and the Front line Troops were given the task of holding on for dear life. It would take 1 week before every Russian Left the city, during which the Germans attacked again, but faced the same problem as always, ruin. By the time the Swastika was flown over the city once more, they had little time to enjoy their victory, for troubles were brewing in the East.
