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 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 the cannonballs, stole some gunpowder, and 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 concealed. Until a certain time during a live-fire exercise of the Red Army tank unit, a shell exploded in the chamber, shattering the breech block, and causing two
A Red Army tank soldier was seriously injured and retired before the incident came to light. He was 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, an accomplice and lackey of the capitalists, and 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 repent and atone for his sins, the German guy, 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. Fire broke out everywhere on the front lines. Without taking 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 quick-thinking, seized this last opportunity. He took advantage of the opportunity to leave the prison cell to participate in labor and used the opportunity 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.
With this Mosin Nagant and 20 bullets, he made his first pot of gold on the road to entrepreneurship. Anton, who is well-spoken and glib, gives full play to his highly capitalized and flexible mind, using methods including but not limited to threats, intimidation, cajoling, and persuasion.
Killing chickens to scare monkeys, etc.
In the Ukrainian battlefield, the Soviet and German armies were engaged in a desperate battle. In just two months, with no time to think about, he quickly built up a team of more than 200 people.
What? Are you asking where the guns of more than two hundred people come from?
Isn’t this difficult to handle? Just go to the battlefield ruins and 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 all the local Germans to know the specific location, 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 bandit army under Anton became more and more powerful, and in the end they seemed to be a little warlord 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 without leaving any traces, 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 bandit groups that compete with him for territory. He deliberately leaves some false clues and several corpses that can be traced, and finally borrows them from the Germans.
Come and help yourself fight against competitive forces and stay firmly on top of Mount Tai.
As the saying goes, be cautious and keep a low profile. Anton, who 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. Only
There were several times when the SS pulled out nets to search and suppress, but the villagers in the surrounding areas who he bribed in advance reported the information in advance and hid.
Anton, who never confronts the Germans, is indeed a smart man. He often allows his men to rob houses and squander the people's wealth, but he is never allowed to attack villages within a radius of ten or twenty kilometers around the station. He even often sends people to these villages.
Villagers who have a difficult life provide food and daily necessities.
Although this seems to be a very simple principle of "rabbits don't eat grass from the edge of the nest", it seems to be well-known to everyone in the 21st century. However, in this age where information is limited and human brain thinking is a bit primitive and uncivilized, the mind
Anton, who is smart, has bottom lines and rules in doing things, is so different and stands out among a group of bandit leaders.
Many people say that this may be the reason why Anton's team is the best among the bandits and has the greatest 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 knock down the German armored train with a few broken guns and a few small cannons? Even if you have armored cars and tanks, you may not be sure of victory, but only with Anton
Dong himself knew in his heart that it was 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 a chance. Anton clearly knows in his heart that there is not much time left before the Germans get out of Ukraine. He must prepare in advance for the next storm.
Make full preparations to ensure the supply of materials for the team. The reason is that simple.
Now, what I have been worried about has finally happened.
Now even an ordinary person who is not so forward-thinking can see that the Germans are in doom and are about to get out. 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. My subordinates
The gang had finally managed to get together, and the little boss and right-hand man who had gathered 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 situation was indeed like this. 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 sooner we leave, the better, and the further away, the better.”
"...."
"Leave!? Well...then have you thought about where we are going next?"
After all, Anton still had 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
Our last vote here is to leave after finishing our work. 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 from here."
