Original subtitles

of course mental strength matters most

physical strength and courage too but

not so much

now i need tractor or machine operators

who at least have some technical skills

are any of you tractor operators

quit it sorry lieutenant tell him hey

you heard him of course you are a

a machine operator so well you're not a

you're such a i'm a machinist snov

know pretty well i know very little

and i uh i can't fix them up on the fly

breaking them's enough

they have all sorts of vehicles i've

the first is light under 10 tons side

four full sized track wheels make it

turret commander's coupler handgun

how fixed the armor 37 millimeters

not much and two machine guns 792

here no doubt they use those for all

good gun but you really got to keep it

clean so wash your hands after a

otherwise it might not even fire

but really it really is it's a great

for a beauty sound

soldier

muscalenko is it not yes sir muscalenko

you know what too much talk and not

time to waste but i don't i just wanted

morale is not your concern are you a

no we already have one yes sir little

that's the one i heard of you

don't believe the lies our friend

muscalenko might have a big mouth

but he can still joke even when he's

leave him alone that's good that's good

but here it's better to keep quiet

come on ivan stop playing around the

lieutenant has enough to be dealing with

already

excuse him

and those guns are not mg's they're

check made with the same cartridges

the armor is riveted very weak easy to

break with an anti-tank rifle from 300

goes up in flames with a bang but they

won't use these tin cans in the assault

they have bigger tanks for that but we

need to know them all

yes colonel

yes sir

not quite but i do have some things to

show

yes sir

yes colonel

of course i'll manage

yes sir

sure but i prefer cognac and poor to

they used to be made differently here

you are these are battle ready no match

there is a downside though break it and

so be very careful this must be some

high-proof stuff

we need some more empty bottles we have

that's good if they have corpse right

okay sure take someone with you come on

hey pete huh what if we dilute one in a

or two buckets to drink

that's it vacation's over back to work

peter round up the company by 1800 yes

come on

we'll do

observation devices and viewports

right saying goodbye what's the

thickness of the front hull armor

the hull it's 30 millimeters right

what about here 30 same armor all over

thinner only here and here that's where

good you know the theory

now for the practice you're up again

go and get building materials from the

uh yes lieutenant what four to make a

scale model of a german tank

get enough material what exactly

i'll give you a list quick we need to

not bad having a bath every other day i

isn't that right stachenko i don't need

i'm very used to relaxing

she's just died serving with his

so what thank god not all soldiers are

he's just talking seems that others do

and fighting ain't digging all week the

guys have been digging trenches like a

digging their way out of hard labor off

the commander will return from

headquarters with good news for your men

i'm not sure about an offensive but the

the germans are ready to fight again

so we're in for an unforgettable

experience

mark it right in the snow length five

height 1.5 we'll build the turret after

can i ask you something how we pull this

on a sleigh ah luckily there's snow

hey guys a red army hero

comrade filling found a camouflage

the brave soldier crawled his way

and used grenades to destroy the gun and

nazis surrounded the brave man and

attempted to capture him alive

when they came within arm's length

filling through his last grenade an

several nazis were killed after showing

immense bravery on the battlefield

comrade fill and died a hero

here's another one karinkov's machine

yeah have you seen it of course i've

read it

political officer you're out of tobacco

i'll get you sir to roll up in that

bulletin before comrade phillip drives

with his last grenade it's november

you know that and you're reading a

yeah that's right see i never heard of

current cops company

not much to hear ah

our guys shot up a whole battalion with

sent them running for their lives

nothing out of the ordinary the stuff is

what is the wooden tank for taking on

what offensive gabriel

why everyone's been talking well that's

you ought to listen less they want to

that's why they talk

but attack with what any reinforcements

talking like kids maybe we'll get a

what are we waiting for been three weeks

why would the germans give us any

yeah uh-huh all the trenches we dug up

they aren't for an offensive and the

lieutenant was sent here for a reason

we might push on elsewhere but not here

not now so we have to be patient and

yep that can do it would just be easier

our guys were out there fighting the

where here right come on

a wasted blast fireworks and nothing

drag it back and keep on i'll tell you

if you missed a chance let them pass and

throw a bottle or two three light it up

and disappear in the trench there will

if you die who will stop them

take a break your turn

get to work

as of today the german strike force in

four tank and three infantry divisions

it looks like some will be deployed to

before moving on to clin and dimitrov

to encircle moscow from the north others

are preparing to strike directly from

the strategic importance of volaka lam's

is difficult to overstate

the nazis might redeploy troops along

to enter the road east of yadriva

bypassing our anti-tank positions

there are many different ways to carry

a maneuver from muramsevo along a

country road or field to yadravo or

from jadanov through nalidivar and then

and on to motronino station also from

krasikovo along the railway through the

our objective prevent access to the

and hold the entire nazi division here

so

to the to their three regiments

we have four companies

we clearly have to hold them back but

to what extent

well until reinforcements arrive at the

before the assault we can only guess

what these locations are

oh

comrades

in past battles you've shown bravery and

fascist aggressors have invaded our

and aimed their full force at moscow to

the very heart of our motherland

but here

here they felt the taste of their own

here they first doubted the power of the

here for the first time they had to stop

because you stood in their way the enemy

and enraged as his plan for a quick war

faltered and in that rage he raised

tremendous forces for a new strike

again they dream of breaking through to

but now they know what awaits them

now they know how much the russians love

their motherland

they know how we will fight for it

and now their fear will be constant

soldiers of the red army the enemy

he'll try to reduce us to dust with his

blow us up with his artillery topple us

infantry they will not pass

because we will be standing here

brothers history knows many brave

but none have had such a great destiny

behind us today stands not only moscow

and not only our vast homeland

today the whole world watches holding

because here on these lines we stand to

defend it

let us be worthy of this honor

he told me that somewhere in japan

there were bandits who harassed everyone

they almost destroyed one village so the

to fight the bandits better to die

they didn't know much about warfare they

like our lieutenant but from the nobel

prize hired him with what

don't remember so the expert assessed

or conducted reconnaissance and hired

either nobles or gentry

samurai maybe i told you it's in japan

so these warriors got to defend in the

but believe it or not there are more

versus seven men yeah for money

i i don't remember also on credit

hey would you quit butting in with your

fine so what happened what happened what

those warriors knew what they were doing

they built fortifications set up

communications basically

they've got everything ready and uh

and when the bandits attacked the

well there were losses but the warriors

chopped him up pretty good everyone yeah

some might have escaped but the gang was

that's the way huh i've heard that story

only it happened with different people

in america and they weren't nobles

but cattle herders all of them were

but the rest was the same 40 against

seven that's what they call a folk tale

only yours doesn't add up our cattle

sure you know where i'm from they're

actually pretty tough guys are they now

where i'm from they're the opposite

little kids

okay i want you to keep look out for the

night and report to me by eight

and always report any changes okay

yes sir 316th infantry will be on your

and the 50th cavalry uh on your left so

be very careful i'll keep an eye out

no mistakes i hope so that's why i chose

don't worry sir getting lost in those

it was very confusing but now we know

the germans are that way moscow is there

one small question commander we know

and we know when the masses will strike

why not hit them first while we still

with a with what exactly just give the

word sir look i just don't have the

forces to hit there and protect

so dig in get ready and stand your

yes sir of course we will we will fight

right don't stand to the death stand

and to stand dead firm i need you to

and that's the paradox are you clear

yes sir we'll stay alive sir that's

better

go on now

that's definitely not true

the herder story is untrue well this

one's from the history books

a gang of ten thousand that's an army

it was an army and a war was gonna go

why so few greeks there couldn't find

the army also thought they were a few

those few were just enough

so the greeks slaughtered 10000 i mean

oh they were worse they all died in

damn your story is no good at all

lies all eyes

so

it was dark already an old woman heard

us coming and she came out to look

asks are you out guys and i go who else

she crosses herself and says oh thank

the germans are getting really close

all day sparing nothing not even the

richard heathens worse than muslims

and crosses herself muzabak says in

she doesn't know that two-thirds of us

the old woman is surprised and us are

are you sure you're our boys musabek

we are indeed don't we look it don't you

kazakhs kyrgyz oykas and duncan

she says i didn't know those existed and

did they run out of russians

morons scaring her she must have seen a

your ugly face has appeared in the dark

god

come on quicker it'll be sunrise soon

we still need to cover everything up so

they can't see us from above

and get a few hours sleep and then what

lunch then we go dig a decoy position

unbelievable and there i was thinking

sleeping after a row of sleepless nights

no chance there's not much work there

more time spent talking it's already

been dug some the kind of

field camouflage because

the crops aren't stupid

all right let's finish up

what about lunch whatever's on the menu

what did he say

he remembers uh-huh

if they come this way we'll get a piece

what other way can they come the woods

second company for those who decide to

we'll set up another mount whatever you

but why would they go around a turret

and uproot you we'll see about that

now let's get the beast back in the hole

that is

well let's see what you got here

carry on is

what's this what if you need to turn it

we will cut it but this way it's well

and the angle is good we'll test it out

and where's the reserve yeah

we'll prepare another one more than one

would be better

but overall

well it works

once our political officer read aloud a

well that's grounds for court martial he

he barely escaped it but that's another

the leaflet said if you give yourself up

you ought to wave a white handkerchief

and chesov who's a good man but stupid

says where will i get it i tell him

wave your foot wraps around he says

they're not white i go what do you mean

and there weren't white it was a pirate

flag

i say you're done for they'll shoot you

if they manage to put on their gas masks

you're stuck here in the red army

take your boots off only as a last

resort he didn't understand why we

stupid what made you think of that

i think are these white rags here

i mean aren't we camouflaging it too

it should look like we covered it as

like i think they might want to though

you know it really looks menacing from

chilling even would be good

to dig to dig in a dozen of these to

adobe why not germans are careful

ril2 planes i don't have a gun in the

so the german planes started shooting

of course necessary is the mother of

so someone stuck a pole out instead of a

making it look like a machine gun

and and

you know what it worked now it's

almost a patented invention

see the thing is she's at a disadvantage

we can betray her but she can't betray

why can't she because it's only land

nothing more what do you mean it's just

it's so much that it's everything we

all people have it it's true but besides

those under german oppression aren't

fighting for land

there's something else

you're right not for land

apart from your motherland there's also

the motherland lives on she might be cut

for years centuries but she remains your

the fatherland is different the

live by right as their fathers did

long before them hence the name

fatherland

the motherland is the land where we live

we live what about nations

what about them

nations are people who want to speak

the same language and live on the same

it's not all that simple if a frenchman

or a german learns russian and wants to

does that make him a russian i don't

but if the frenchman stands alongside us

and helps us fight against the nazis

well then maybe

you never know

oh speaking of the devil

is he flying over here his binoculars

are strong enough to see the lace on

but they used to fly closer you sure

they took us with savages

then we shot them down and they

remembered about optics you'll see we

rifles get the job done too come on no

do an adjacent unit downed one with

it was in the bulletin i didn't hear

but it did happen it's just a tin can

so don't look so surprised

if it's so easy why don't we

shoot it down then

hey shadron what are you doing what are

not exactly quick witted are you what's

never mind never mind i could be

sleeping instead of making this scenery

decorating a log been for what huh been

let him get a good look he can fire up a

he'll miss anyway show them we're not

what if he gets a lucky hit

do you get him

fine

200 pounds at least where did you get it

i've got a deal from the sappers a good

uh-huh for free

any minds no minds what minds they got

no mind only barbed wire

he said take as much as you want so he

as much as we could you're greedy guys

we can get some more just need to take a

bunch next time we'll have a look

let me tell you brothers how well the

villagers outside moscow live now

go ahead impress us so this

i say to daniel if they have wire to

let's trade it at the village for a bag

daniel doesn't care anymore he's fine

but i say no we're going so we knock on

an old man answers he looks it and says

what the hell do i need this for can you

so we look on another door this one says

what will i do with it i say have you

do with it what you want look at your

fence not a fence but

no thanks for the concern soldiers but

i just like looking out the world

through barbed wire uh-huh

it would spoil the view see

and that's that so

uh yeah so we couldn't get any

delicacies for dinner

we have to eat what they give us

ah

do you have any news major we powered

the troops are on form and are resting

now everything here is on schedule

wake up tomorrow before dawn we need

keep the lines open we'll try sir

the artillery commander will arrive

today i'd like you to assist him

if needed you'll get fire support

good news that's all get some sleep

his foot's got there yes right here that

okay got it sir okay go

what did he say no problems

said to get some sleep

that's all also

kyogri will throw in some pepper

if this jew gets if the stew gets too

that's music to my ears

foreign

here comes the thunder

talk about a precise bloody hit what if

what if they actually knew our position

just have a look at all of our results

holding back the germans for three hours

only hearing losses resisting not with

but with our skill set digging

we are good at digging decoys

i can't sleep gunslingers not really sir

the rousing tune of this lullaby is

yeah don't worry after that time you'll

got tobacco no smokes just fumes

let's add some flavor to those fumes

have they finished

ah son of a

tobacco right of course

seems almost done german like

is it german enough now yeah it's just

a real orchestra yeah

of all cannabis with a conductor no

that conductor seems to be getting

time for an intermission then the crowds

yeah and we've got it all set up for

why have you popped up like a sunflower

there's no way to plow this land now

nonsense we'll plow it and sow it if

for that reason protect your head

foreign

and they're coming what tanks we're over

there

can't see we've just got word from the

the tanks headed this way when the

firing stops ringing they'll be here

i'll inform the captain yes sir

don't jump the gun hold it guys

only on my command on my whistle give

hold fire until you hear two shots okay

that's when we get them before they

realize what hit them

they're headed right for us you know

i mean we didn't have to chase after

lucky us probably thinking they got it

that they know our weak spot and can go

and that's good let them try let's show

if they don't know it who we russians

really are and what our weak spot is

yeah of course i'm kazak

and kha'zix russian give me a break

it's russia we're both fighting for many

when we fight for kazakhstan we'll show

them who the kha'zix are

you can bet on it deal

battery fire and take some different

tracks target for seven tanks in

target four seven fragmentation grenade

fragmentation grenade second charge

direction of main attack right charge

direction of main attack rate of 230.

directional main attack 230. at zero

at zero zero two side one hundred two

side one hundred two four five one route

side one hundred two four five one round

ready ready fire

over 25 right site 122 left 011

zero fifteen four volley fire charges

zero fifteen four volley fire charges

fire

oh

that's the way to do it

that's not good those vultures will rip

through our artillery lines

vultures prey on dead animals those

birds are out for blood pulling

alabaster you're on your own

hang in there

here

oh god

fragmentation shell

take cover

okay

again

geoguns

shell

foreign

that one only has minor damage and that

it'll take them half an hour to repair

before they're up and running give them

a volley give them a volley rapid fire

i'm appearing

didn't take long for them to leave

don't worry they won't be gone long

maybe there was something they didn't

or another reason no they liked

and we're back to you with some friends

for another taster

sure for another taste

that's fine

for another taste

it was obvious from the start that they

wanted to visit a cemetery but ended up

and their infantry got a big welcome

and the tanks of course they crawled

uh maybe they thought that anyone who's

what would give them that idea chevy

hacking

we didn't even shoot once

we'll get our chance

follow me

they're going to come at us smarter

and a bit faster hit all our weak spots

that's all we need more music

and this time it will be even louder

that's okay we're deaf already

easy easy easy

give it here

go now

pasha that's everything's fine

you were hit but we stopped the bleeding

now you have to focus on getting better

you did good real good

we dug in the soldiers are heroes so

everything's fine basha get your

be careful quick three more awaiting

foreign

um

clergical reporting the artillery has

helped us by sorting the first attack

knocked out four tanks and a platoon

any losses all alive six wounded and

pasha was hurt pretty bad all fine

waiting on shell fire

i understand back to work

okay they're regrouping and adjusting

they'll strike soon days are short and

it won't be a sprinkler next time but a

so expect a downpour and a different

attack

off i'm not wounded sergeant don't make

or the bird will fly away

i stop ruling around shoes are tank

after i get one of them flying around

like the other place

well done you really scared it now take

cover

see they don't want to fight saving

themselves for moscow which is good for

puts us at an advantage a much bigger

than being cowards certainly certainly

i hope they won't bomb us to bits out of

with all that ammunition i won't get all

just don't die too soon okay

they might even think we're starting

preparing an ambush for their tank

huh they're not brainless no

but they see tanks burning and people

dying

damn here's what i'm getting at

soon our ranks will get thinner and then

we have to become a real stubborn thorn

in their side

yes i understand you're completely right

sergeant but but are we gonna talk about

or just sit here waiting to be here

what do you mean okay today your country

not to die you understand me big news

is anyone rushing to get there there

we're gonna die if we're supposed to

sure

and who will stand up and fight in your

place or is that not important huh

just die and that's it is that how it

maybe the germans conquer us maybe not

very convenient no blame if you die in

freedom from all of your past sins the

meaning of life is to be a hero now is

that how it's supposed to be

take it easy no one wants to die

but this is beyond the heart that's

wrong i say to die this way is a

all right give me a break if a shell or

hits you are you saying it's a personal

maybe if you think less about bullets

they won't whiz by

stop too bad it's just a scratch he'll

be fixed up in no time

visiting the dentist is torture this is

nothing

just hold on

could we stop his philosophical talk and

it's a lot of fun though

a lot depends on your mindset and your

mindset should be to destroy the enemy

maybe there's just a handful of us maybe

50 handfuls on unit operations must be

like everything is going according to

plan the nazis will get the picture

retreat or burn if they retreat

they won't pass here and no heroics will

be necessary today

just burn those tanks

fourth company come in

second company get me fourth

fourth company come in

sights in one piece yeah

um

uh

get the position in order and prepare

for battle

alive how many three

good come with me i need to carry out

a wounded enough and killed enough of

those two

oh boys

weapon and

you hungry beast not long now

time to unleash you

pete peter check the wire

we need to get communications back up

if we don't fix communications send two

more cards

or three

is it up oh thank god

go ahead we sustained heavy losses many

there are only 28 soldiers remaining we

two anti-tank rifles a machine gun

we have plenty of those now we need

reinforcements

no obviously no i have no reinforcements

try and hold on as long as you can

be strong my comrades

we will major

cruise your weapons others form teams of

each group shall target one tank each

nine tanks should be ablaze let's see

start with that and then we'll see

destroying two at a time would of course

be better

we're out of options brothers

although our land seems vast and we are

we have nowhere to retreat we cannot die

until we stop the germans

because we're defending the last line

after us

then it's moscow

thank you

what are you waiting for let's go come

on

foreign

jacob did the nazis really try and

blast you out of a dugout with grenades

and then you threw 14 back at them

unbelievable a bunch of lies

what are the idiots god's sake so how

five that's how many 14.

five then i decided to throw another

the sixth so i wouldn't have enough time

to throw the bloody thing back to them
