"Then you can take us there." Sun Hui looked at the map, "He came to this area to want to go there." ”

"But the terrain there is not suitable for heavy tank maneuvering," Krenev said, pointing to the map, "and it is impossible for you to drive the tank in." ”

"We don't drive tanks in, Uncle Krenev." Ye Chuchu pointed to the location of the mouth of the valley on the map, "We want to prevent him from entering the valley, that is, intercept him on the periphery and kill him, so we have to deploy the tank outside the valley." ”

"That's a good idea, I like ambushes, hehe." Captain Toltkin laughed.

"Alright, let's do it." Krenev looked at his watch, "If this fascist demon has set off by now, we have to hurry, we must enter the ambush position before they arrive." ”

"Let's go now." Sun Hui looked in the direction where the valley was located and said in a deep voice.

"By the way, Uncle Krenev, do you have partisans here? Is there any news of the 'October Revolution' partisans? Ye Chuchu asked.

"'October Revolution' guerrillas?" Krenev was stunned.

"Yes, it was a partisan unit formed under the personal direction of Marshal Voroshilov, because many of them came from the Baltic Fleet and served on the ship's flagship 'October Revolution', so the name of the partisan unit was 'October Revolution.'" Ye Chuchu replied, "They were set up specifically to help us operate, and many of the team members are locals, and they have sent us a lot of useful information, but after we set off, we couldn't contact them. ”

"We haven't run into them." Krenev shook his head and cast an inquiring glance at Captain Toltkin, who shook his head as well.

Krenev asked his adjutant to ask the commanders of the columns to ask about the partisans of the "October Revolution", and everyone replied that they had not been in contact, as if this partisan force had never existed.

Although this happened, it did not affect everyone's determination to act, so under the command of Colonel Krenev, an experienced commander, the interception force quickly set off and rushed to the position marked on Sun Hui's map.

A few hours later, the interception force reached the mouth of the mysterious valley, Krenev observed the surrounding terrain, and immediately ordered the troops to enter a concealed position, and with his help in the survey, the four heavy tanks of the special tank platoon were arranged behind a very hidden hillside, and the artillery range was just enough to cover the road ahead.

At this time, it was close to evening, and Sun Hui was sitting in the "KV-220" tank, observing the situation in the distance through the scope. At this time, he did not know what had happened to the "October Revolution" guerrillas.

And the opponent he was about to kill was approaching him step by step.

SS Special Brigade Flag Commander Albright. Stein was the son and sole heir of a modest clothing store owner in Munich. He had been with the Gestapo of the Third Reich in Hamburg for ten years and was the chief investigator of particularly important cases.

His monotonous work, his slow promotions, his complicated relationship with his immediate boss, and the fact that his father and wife often blame him for his incompetence in life all provoked his worries and resentment. He didn't want to stay in the back city that made him unhappy. When the Germans occupied France, Stein did not hesitate to report and apply to send him to work in Paris.

The chief of the Gestapo gladly let the slack officer go, and wrote him an excellent letter of recommendation, taking into account his connections with some of the most powerful people. Stein was soon appointed deputy chief of the Gestapo in Lyon and took the title of SS SA captain. In Lyon, he began to devote himself to the elimination of the Resistance participants, and he understood that this gave him the opportunity to win in a life in which everyone was fighting each other and was insecure. He was not mistaken, and soon he was awarded the Iron Cross for his service.

As soon as the Germans attacked Russia, Stein, who had already gained extensive experience in the fight against saboteurs, was given the rank of flag chief, transferred to the deputy head of the security department of the SS special brigade, and sent to the Eastern Front.

Soon after, while encircling a partisan force in Russia, he was wounded in the hand. At this time, he began to understand: from now on, there was no longer a sunny avenue covered with roses in front of him.

Stein was afraid of losing his head in Russia. No more scurrying around in the forests and swamps of Russia. He sent people to track and capture the liaison and find out where the partisans were stationed. Surround and annihilate them. At the same time, Stein suggested to his boss that someone else should take the risk.

Just yesterday, to his surprise, Brigadier Heinz had assigned him to take action to destroy a Russian partisans. It was a new and combat-ready partisan detachment that built its nest on a deserted island in the middle of an unnamed lake and operated unscrupulously in the rear of the German army.

Stein immediately understood that this was a desperate gamble on his prestige, personal prestige, and safety. Through influential figures, he refused to accept the assignment under various pretexts, but Heinz was determined not to change his mind. Stein understood that it was impossible to evade this task, so he feverishly began to prepare for an encirclement operation coded as "Bear Hunt".

Stein, the flag chief of the SS stormtroopers, saw himself as a great expert in the fight against the partisan movement and the Soviet underground, and he decided to recruit young Gestapo elements and officers of the security corps and SS into the military operation. This, he argues, kills two birds with one stone. The main burden of the actual war did not fall on him, and showed his concern for the future of the Great German, its young people. These young people will become his students.

"Your skillfully arranged military operation," assuring the brigade commander Heinz to him, "will receive the due evaluation of the commander of the assault forces of Army Group 'North', Admiral Manstein, and from the Berlin side, and before you is a sunny avenue for promotion to the rank of officer." ”

He vaguely felt that the brigade commander's arrangement had a special purpose.

Ever since SS leader Himmler secretly came to the Russian front, Heinz has been secretive, personally grasping Himmler's defense work, many of which were originally his own work, and Heinz personally interrogated. But this is understandable, although Stein doesn't think anything can happen to Himmler, who is heavily guarded in and out.

"Well, it seems worth the risk." Listening to the words of his immediate boss to see him off, Stein thought to himself. He thought he should have taken on a higher position than he was now, and waited impatiently for Heinz to recommend him for promotion.
