For vengence, For country (Open to all Soviets)

[Demetri Ivanov]

Country: Russia
Current Time: 7:30 pm
Weather Conditions: snowy, a bit cold

Demetri sat in the convoy truck with the other thirteen men. Most were asleep. They were headed to a German camp to assassinate a colonol. There were three convoy trucks headed to the German camp, Demetri was in the front one. Demetri lit a cigaratte. "Hey comrade, can I have a cig?" A fellow Russian soldier whispered to Demetri. Demetri pulled out another cigaratte, lit it, and gave it to the soldier. "Thanks." The soldier said. "No problem comrade" Demetri said back. There was an explosion and the convoy truck Demetri was in fliped on it side. Unlike the others in his truck, Demetri was not unconsious, barly. Demetri crawled out to see his fellow comrades firering at the Germans on a hill that were firering back. There were two Russians that helped Demetri back up. "Are you alright comrade?" One said. "Ya... Im fine, lets go help the others in the truck." Demetri said back. Demetri went in the fliped truck and picked up a comrade with one hand and picked up his Mosin Nagant with the other. "Comrade, wake up comrade!" Demetri shouted to the wounded Russian over the gunfire. "Medic I need a medic over here!" Demetri yelled to a nearby medic. The medic came to Demetri and the wounded soldier. "Take care of this man." Demetri said to the medic. The gunfire stoped and the soldiers started making their way up the hill. When Demetri and the others made it on top of the hill they saw on the other side there was a German camp. The soldiers slowly started making there way to the German camp.

[Nikolai Boryenko]

Orders were clear. Nikolai was to stay in the cover of the forrest and wait for his fellow comrades to join him at 1950 hours, before he was to engage the target. In this case, a Colonel. Nikolai knew this man. A cruel, disgusting man. He had heard stories of the Nazi beating Russians to death with their own boots. Nikolai already hated the Germans for killing his brother, now to add on to his hatred were stories.

The silence enshrouded Nikolai as he was covered in snow, looking over the base that would be in chaos soon. He took note of two trucks, a motor bike, and a smaller, more compact car. Just in case the plan didn't go as it should. He layed there silently, until the sound of a vehicle came in the distance. He could hear it vividly, until another noise destroyed it. An explosion drowned out all other sound. Nikolai didn't move. Next were voices, Russian voices. "Medic I need a medic over here!" Nikolai didn't move, didn't think about the yells. All he did was look at the task at hand.

Movements off in the distance caught his eye. Nikolai very slowly turned so if he turned his head he could see the base and if he turned the opposite way, the street. A few seconds later, in the distance he saw movement. He could see with his naked eye that there were about nine comrades. He waited until they were in front of him. He then stood to a crouched position and spoke in a whisper. "You are early, comrades. The base is just over this hill. Did the Kapitan send a plan?"

[Demetri Ivanov]

"The kaptains plan is go in, and kill the colonel at all costs." Demetri said. "Lets go before this scum bag of a colonel gets away." Demetri and his fellow comrades rushed into the camp, guns blazing. Demetri ran into a few tents and killed the Nazis that were sleeping. On of the tents Demetri went in had the soldier that looked exactly like the one that killed his son. Demetri stuck his nagant in the stomach of the Nazi. "Good morning you son of a bitch." Demetri said as he fired. The Nazi roared with pain as Demetri left the wounded Nazi to die slowly. Demetri started running around, looking for a big tent that the colonel would be in.

Demetri finally found the Colonel`s tent, it was big and heavely guarded. Demetri found cover and started firering. One crazy soviet soldier charged the Nazis but was quickly torn apart by gunfire. "Damn it! No one else do that or I`ll kill you myself!" The Kaptain yelled. A Russian soldier started retreating but Demetri shot the coward. "Good job comrade, nice shot." The Kaptain said to Demetri. Demetri couldent belive that he just shot a innocent soldier. By now the remaining Nazis fell back into the colonel`s tent and the Russian troops now had the tent completly surronded. Demetri and his fellow comrades slowly advanced closer to the colonels tent.

[Nikolai Boryenko]

The words went through Nikolai's head. Why do my people think mass attacks work? He saw a Kaptain run past him, leading some ten soldiers behind him. Down the hill they went into the camp. Nikolai reluctantly slid down the hill slowly on his backside, making sure he had the camp in sight at all times as well as the forrest in the background. Once he reached the bottom of the hill he layed down and watched. Russians would go into tents, muzzles would flash, and they would come out with blood all over them. Nikolai smirked. Maybe the mass attack has worked.

Nikolai raised his rifle, peering through his scope he spotted a man running. A German man. He sprinted towards the forrest for his pathetic life. Nikolai carefully put his crosshairs right on the back of the man's head. Just then, a red spray came from his back. Nikolai moved his rifle down to inspect the kill. It was not his bullet that had shredded the man's back. He moved his rifle again, but this time to the right. There he saw a slightly familiar face. How dissapointing. One less button for my belt. He was truly disappointed, but knew he wouldn't go away hungry from this conflict.

The battle, Nikolai could see was dwindling. He had been in the same spot for only about twenty minutes. He found his own Kapitan through his scope. Then moved his gaze towards the forrest. He scanned it, then something caught his eye. The ground shifted without the wind blowing. Nikolai focused in on this one spot, then a shot of adrenaline flew through his veins at what he spotted. A glint, one from a scope of a rifle. Nikolai dare not shoot. He didn't want to give away his position. The enemies muzzle flashed. That's when Nikolai knew he needed to do something. He lined up his sights, adjusted for the range, and took a deep breathe. In, out, in, out halfway. Then the recoil of his rifle met his shoulder. He didn't pull the bolt back. He wanted to watch this man die. He saw a little splash of red, then the rifle slid down the hill. The Lord giveth, I taketh away. He then pulled the bolt back, ejecting the shell, and then slid it back into place.

Looking around, Nikolai noticed something. It was quiet now. He looked over to where his comrades were gathered. They all looked towards a big tent. He assumed it was the Colonel's tent. He kneeled to a crouch and started jogging over to his comrades. "Kapitan, they are in there?" Nikolai asked once he got to them. The man nodded. "Burn them, let the dogs feast on their cooked bodies." Nikolai said cold-heartedly. The Kapitan looked at him and said. "Exactly what I was thinking, comrade. Bring fire!"

[Demetri Ivanov]

Demetri heard the Kaptain yell "bring fire." Demetri remembered he had a lighter "Kaptain, I have a lighter!" Demetri yelled. "Good comrade, go get some sticks and we can burn them to death! Give me your lighter, we will make a small fire here, out of the tents. And we shall burn the rest of this camp while we`re waiting. Boscov, Kozlov, go with Demetri and help him." The Kaptain said "Yes sir." Boscov and Kozlov said as they followed Demetri to the forest. Once the three got to the forest they started collecting sticks. Demetri saw Boscov drop the pile of his sticks he had and look in front of him. "Comrade, whats wrong?" Demetri asked and then soon Demetri and Kozlov droped their sticks and looked at the tank! "Run!" Demetri yelled.

While running, the tank fired and the three went flying. Demetri and Boscov were ok but Kozlov was unconcious. Demetri picked Kozlov up and started heading for the camp with Boscov. "Kaptain! A German tank is headed direcly toward us! They fired at us and now Kozlov is injured!" Boscov said followed by Demetri coming in from behind Boscov with Kozlov. "Men, go in there and kill that colonel! He must of raideod for help!" The Kaptain yelled. All of the Russian soldiers started pouring in the German colonel`s tent.

[Nikolai Boryenko]

"Good comrade, go get some sticks and we can burn them to death! Give me your lighter, we will make a small fire here, out of the tents. And we shall burn the rest of this camp while we`re waiting. Boscov, Kozlov, go with Demetri and help him." Said the Kapitan.

"Kapitan, with respect, it is a bad idea to go into the forrest. The fascists are crafty creatures." Nikolai said in detest of the Kapitan's decision. Nikolai had witnessed first hand what the Germans were capable of when they were hidden. When he was on a reconnaissance for intel on a Nazi platoon, Nikolai stumbled upon a very cocky sniper. The man made a devilish grin then placed his rifle down, he then drew his knife from it's sheath. Nikolai took this challenge with open arms. He did the same as the German did. They moved in a circular motion for a few seconds, seeing who would strike first. The Nazi lunged at Nikolai. Nikolai moved back as the blade sliced through the air. He then started swinging at Nikolai blindly. He saw his chance. The Nazi lunged again, but this time lost his footing. Nikolai pulled him forward and slammed his knife into the man's back once, twice, three times, four times, until Nikolai was sure he was dead. He then cleaned off his knife, said a short prayer, then cut the man's top button off of his coat. Nikolai ran his hand over where the button was on his belt now.

"Hold your tongue. This is not your place for decision Mladshii." The Kapitan said in a growl. Before Nikolai could answer an explosion rang out. Nikolai immediately jumped to his stomach. "Kapitan! A German tank is headed direcly toward us! They fired at us and now Kozlov is injured!" One of the men running out of the forrest yelled. Nikolai hopped to his feet and was dumbfounded by what the Kapitan said next. "Men, go in there and kill that colonel! He must have radiod for help!"

"Are you insane? Germans do not care who they kill! If you send our comrades in there, the tank will kill everyone!" Nikolai yelled in the Kapitan's face. The Kapitan took Nikolai by his collar and screamed in his face furiously. "If you speak one more word I will count you as a traitor and I hate traitors! I will kill you where you stand! This mission is over for you!" Nikolai pushed the man off of him and started jogging over to the soldiers that had just come from the forrest. I will not leave my comrades to die under a mad man. "You, do you have grenades?" He asked the vaguely familiar man.

[Demetri Ivanov]

"Grenades I do not have comrade but I do have a pla-" Demetri was cut off from gun fire inside the tent. "Anyway, I have a plan, there is only the tank and no Germans folowing it. So, one of us could make a distracting and the other can go inside the tank and kill all the Germans in there. Boscov put his hand on Demetri`s shoulder. "I`ll make the distraction, you two can go inside the tank and kill the Germans. There is a medic helping Kozlov now, he`s just in shock. Anyway let`s go" Boscov said. "Hey over here you scum sucking Germans!" Boscov yelled as the tank started to aim at him and Demetri and Nikolai started going around the tank.

Moments later Boscov was torn apart by the tanks small machine gun. Just then Demetri and Nikolai jumped in the tank and started killing the Germans one by one. The German that was manning the machine gun rushed Demetri with a knife. But Demetri stuck the German with his knife five times. "Please dont kill me!" The German said. Demetri, able to speak German said "You dident give Boscov a chance, so im not going to give you a chance!" Demetri yelled as he stabed the German a few more times. Demetri felt a light sting on his leg. Demetri turned around to see a German had shot him with a boot pistol. Demetri picked up his Nagant that was now on the floor and shot the German atleast a dozen times. One more German rushed upto Demetri but Demetri stuck his Nagant upto the Germans neck.

OOC: Sorry that I godmoded you, Nik.

[Nikolai Boryenko]

OOC: Next time, ask before you do. Otherwise it's ok.

Nikolai felt the earth shake under his boots. The tank was obviously near. Then an explosion erupted in the distance, sending a few troops flying to their deaths. I have a plan, there is only the tank and no Germans folowing it. So, one of us could make a distracting and the other can go inside the tank and kill all the Germans in there." The man named Boscov quickly put his hand on the man and volunteered for the job. Nikolai did not protest.

"I`ll make the distraction, you two can go inside the tank and kill the Germans. There is a medic helping Kozlov now, he`s just in shock. Anyway let`s go." Boscov said yet again. After Nikolai saw Boscov run out in front of the tank yelling, Nikolai made a dead sprint towards the tank. He didn't look towards Boscov, or anything for that fact. His focus was set on one thing. Killing all of the fascists in the tank.

Nikolai came to the side of the tank and jumped up to the hatch. He opened the hatch without hesitation and dropped in. He heard a loud thud behind him, it was just the other soldier. Nikolai came to one of the men who were about to reload the shell that had last been fired, but Nikolai took him into a chokehold. He let the man squirm for a few seconds, then a loud snap sounded as Nikolai forced the neck to one side. The other man helping reload the gun watched this happen, he looked behind him and saw a heavy wrench. He picked it up and started running towards Nikolai. He swung at Nikolai's head, the Russian ducked before the blow could hit. Instead of hitting Nikolai's head, the wrench smashed right into one of the metal walls. The man instantly dropped the wrench out of pain. Nikolai then reached his right hand toward the Nazi's throat. He wrapped one hand around his throat, then the other. The man started clawing at Nikolai's face, but his reach was too short. "Bitte, bitte, nein." The man said between chokes of fear. Nikolai showed no emotion, he just squeezed harder. Then nothing.

The nothingness was soon shattered by the sound of a pistol going off. Nikolai quickly turned and pulled his knife from it's sheath. Instead of seeing a dead comrade, he saw one shooting, bolting, then shooting some more. The man with the pistol fell to the ground. Nikolai heard as many shots as the Nagant would allow to be shot. The Russian was out of ammo. Another German ran at the man with the rifle, but was met by the barrel being pushed into his neck. The man stopped in his tracks and didn't move. Nikolai walked towards the two. "Wait, he could be of use comrade." Nikolai said with a devious smile.

[Demetri Ivanov]

Demetri heard the loud footsteps from behind him. Demetri turned around with knife in hand. But he saw Nikolai putting his rifle to the Germans neck. "Wait comrade, he might be of use to us." Demetri heard Nikolai say with a devious smile. "How could this piece of garbage be of use to us." Demetri asked. Just then a German pushed Demetri to the wall of the tank and put him in a sleeper hold. Demetri hit the German three times in the ribs with his elbow. The German got off Demetri and then Demetri swung his fist at the German. The German dodged the punch and hit Demetri in the face. Then, the German threw Demetri at the tanks wall. Demetri fell to the floor and saw the German pull out a luger. Demetri then had a flashback of the German that knocked out Demetri and killed Demetri`s son.

Demetri got up in a rage and took the luger from the German. Demetri shot him in the back and the threw the German to the tanks wall. Demetri then countinuosly slamed his knee in the Germans face while yelling. After slaming his knee in the Germans face about 30 times Demetri threw the bloody german on the ground. "So whats your plan?" Demetri asked Nikolai whipping the blood from his nose.

OOC: Sorry about the short post, I dident really know what to write.

[Nikolai Boryenko]

Nikolai watched the man intently. He had his eyes eyes closed and was mouthing some words. I hope God can forgive you. Nikolai thought to himself in disgust. He then saw the Nazi open his eyes like a shot. "How could this piece of garbage be of use to us?" The Russian said with ignorance. Before Nikolai could reply the German got up from his knees and put the Russian in a sleeper hold from behind. The Russian slammed his elbow into the Nazi's side a few times. The German let go and the Russian swung his fist blindly and wildly at him. He missed and the German retaliated with fierceness. He punched the Russian then threw him to the floor. Nikolai just watched, he wanted to see if the Russian could survive in this position. The Nazi pulled out a Luger P-08 but, hesitated before the pistol went off. It looked to Nikolai almost as if the pistol had jammed. Regardless, the Russian got back up quickly and pried the pistol from the man's hand and shot. The piece of lead went into the man's back and the Russian pounced on the wounded man kneeing him in the face when he turned. Nikolai shook his head in dissapointment as the Russian yelled.

"Idiot." Nikolai mumbled. "So whats your plan?" The Russian said. "My plan was to take this man prisoner. He could have told us where this tank came from." He said as he kneeled down and showed the other Russian the man's collar. It showed the mark of a German Oberleutnant in the armored division.

There was nothing Nikolai could do now, so he climbed up the ladder leading to the hatch. He opened it and hopped out. One of the other Russians put his Mosin-Nagant to Nikolai's face. "Do not move!" He yelled. Nikolai grabbed the rifle, yanked it out of the man's hands, and hit him in the face with it. "Never point your weapon at a superior, ever." Nikolai said in a very calm voice. He left the man in pain and started walking to the Kapitan.

[Demetri Ivanov]

Demetri climbed out of the tank and hopped out. He saw a fellow Russian stick his Nagant in Nikolai`s face and say "Do not move!" Then Demetri saw Nikolai hit the Russian in the face and left him there. Demetri walked up to the Kapitan with Nikolai. "Are you ok Demetri?" The Kapitan asked Demetri. Demetri noticed he had dryed blood all over him. "I got into a fight with a German and it obviously dident end well for the German. Also, we got a prisnor, an Oberleutenat." Demetri said. "Good work men, lets go." The Kapitan said. They walked by Boscov`s dead body. Or, what else was left the German tank dident blow out with the machine gun fire.

They finally reached were the truck Demetri was in flipped over. "Casualty report?" The Kapitan asked a medic tending to a wounded soldier. "Thankfully, no one is dead, just hurt. Just a bruse here and there. Nothing life-threatening. Be careful though, the explosion was problebly caused from a mine." The Russian medic said. A few seconds after the medic finished talking, Demetri felt somthing on the ground. It felt like a big rock. Demetri looked on the ground to see somthing that looks like a mine. "Shit, guys I need help over here! I think i`m on a mine!" Demetri yelled. All of the came to Demetri, one of them looked at the mine-looking rock. "Yep, it`s a mine." The Russian soldier said.

[Nikolai Boryenko]

"Good work men, lets go." The Kapitan said in a very triumphant tone. Nikolai sneered at his remark in disgust. It most certainly was not a good job by Nikolai's standards. It made Nikolai angry that lives and limbs could have been spared if Nikolai was sent to kill the target by himself. He didn't care about the deaths or wounds, he only cared that they died in a pointless skirmish instead of a real battle.

After Nikolai made his sneer, the Kapitan shot him a look filled with rage. Before the man could address Nikolai a voice cut the silence. "Shit, guys I need help over here! I think I`m on a mine!" The voice yelled in a panic. Nikolai looked in the direction where the voice came from and started walking over quickly. He saw a man standing completely still and another crouched right next to him. "Yep, it`s a mine." The crouched man said.

Nikolai was now standing right next to both of them. "Move back! Everybody!" Nikolai said loudly so he would be heard. He didn't look back to see if anybody did so, he just kneeled down next to the other man. "Do you know how to cut these little demons?"

"No, sir. I.." Te man was cut off by Nikolai's voice cutting in.

"Then get lost. We do not need three dead men. Only two." The man tried to argue, but Nikolai gave him a look that said 'leave or I'll kill you myself.' The man did so after that.

"Alright comrade. I need you to be calm. Now, do you have a family?" Nikolai tried to keep the man preoccupied with other things so he wouldn't focus on the mine that would surely claim Nikolai's life and at least his comrade's limb if he wasn't careful. He went to his stomach and pulled his knife from it's sheath. He then pushed the knife into the ground close by so he could get to it once the wires were exposed.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

He repeated this prayer over and over in his mind as he started to work.

[Demetri Ivanov]

"Alright comrade. I need you to be calm. Now, do you have a family?" Nikolai said.

Demetri frowned and a few tears went down his face. "I had a family, they died in the invasion of Stalingrad. I do have a father in Moscow... I don`t even know if he`s still alive. He could`ve had a heart attack when he heard the news about Stalingrad. And I have a brother in Moscow also. He runs a tavern there." Demetri said. Demetri made sure he applied enough presure to the mine so that it wouldent explode.

Everything was quiet now, to quiet. Somthing was wrong, very wrong. Other then the fact there was a mine under Demetri`s boot. Demetri looked around only uing his eyes. The snow was picking up now. The other soldiers were looking at Demetri. But Demetri felt it wasent just the Russian soldiers looking at him. Demetri looked again, still nothing. "I guess I`m just going out of my mind." Demetri thought to himself.

"So, do you have a family?" Demetri asked.

OOC: Sorry it`s a short post again. I`ll end the thread after your post.

[Nikolai Boryenko]

Tenseness was mounting in Nikolai's body. He felt that if he died right here he would be lost forever, without a legacy, without a name. Just a casualty.His question came and went. Then an answer came into the silence. "I had a family, they died in the invasion of Stalingrad. I do have a father in Moscow... I don`t even know if he`s still alive. He could`ve had a heart attack when he heard the news about Stalingrad. And I have a brother in Moscow also. He runs a tavern there." The voice said.

Nikolai stayed silent examining wire after wire. One of the wires was the same as the other, or so it looked. He knew these kind of explosives had wires that did nothing, but were color coded. Red would do nothing but set it off, blue was the connector to the device itsself, and yellow was the fuse. He needed to find all of the blue wires and yellow wires without accidentally pulling out any of the loose red wires. Nikolai bit his lip as he pulled very gently on a red wire to get at a yellow one. Then a click. No, God. Nothing. The red wire had snapped under the light tension, but nothing had happened. Nikolai dropped the wire and picked up the cross around his neck and kissed it. He then proceeded back to his delicate work.

"So, do you have a family?" The man asked.

Nikolai paused. "Yes, a sister and a father. That is all you need to know." He said trying to shake off the question without there being a question for the other man to ask. He then counted the exposed wires. Three blue, two yellow, and no red. Ok, now it's your turn Lord. He thought to himself. He pulled his knife from the ground and put it behind the wires. Little snaps sounded, then nothing.

"Okay, comrade. Now the hard part. Step off of the mine." Nikolai said as he stood up with knife in hand.The prayer ran through his head one more time before the man stepped off.

[Demetri Ivanov]

"Okay, comrade. Now the hard part. Step off of the mine." Demetri steped off, and heard a bang. Demetri closed his eyes, but realised it wasent the mine. The mine dident explode. Demetri looked around curiously like all the others. "Lets get out of he-" the Kapitan was cut off by a bullet going into his back.

"Sniper, get to the trucks!" One of the serzhants yelled. A few other soldiers picked up the Kapitan as the Kapitan screamed out in pain.

The Russian soldiers poored into the two convoy trucks. The trucks drove off, leaving one soldier behind. "Help, please help me!" The soldier cryed out.

"Give me your hand!" Demetri yelled to the soldier as he held out his hand. The soldier grabed Demetri`s hand but was shot in the side. The soldier let go of Demetri`s hand and fell on the ground like a ragdoll. Demetri brung his hand back in.

"It`s ok comrade, that sniper will burn in hell." One of the soldier said to Demetri, putting their hand on his shoulder.

Demetri looked at the soldier "There is no hell but the one we`re living." Demetri said.

OOC: Couldent resist posting, I`ll have it closed now.
