Chapter 2914: Ultimate Glory

When Sulovchenko was called by Arsim, he found that the entire company, except for those on night duty and those who were injured and could not come, had almost all arrived and assembled. They lined up neatly in the huge shopping mall as if they were going to be inspected.

"Is there any ceremony? What is the division commander doing so late at night?"

Sulovchenko's question was straightforward, and Arsim's answer was also straightforward.

"You will know later. It seems that they will present the flag and give a speech."

"Huh? Present the flag?"

Sulovchenko could understand the speech. After all, tomorrow is the last battle, and it is normal for the division commander to come to do a pre-war mobilization.

As for the flag presentation

Sulovchenko really couldn't think of what kind of flag the division commander could present in person. He had never heard of anything related to this before. Could it be a special honorary flag? But the war is not over yet, and it should not be awarded at this time. The division commander himself said that it is not appropriate to celebrate halfway through a war. No one can say whether the war will fail until the end.

When Sulovchenko joined the queue with doubts, he also lined up and found that the flag awarded by Malashenko himself was so much beyond his imagination.

"Comrades, fellow comrades."

"Marshal Zhukov has given us a glorious task: to personally plant this flag of honor, which is also the victory flag, signed by our leader Comrade Stalin, on the dome of the Reichstag, which symbolizes the evil heart of the Nazis, and let it fly high in the sky of Berlin. This will be the final node of this great patriotic war."

"Marshal Zhukov gave me this task, and now I choose to entrust this task to you-the most combat-capable infantry company of the leader division."

"You are led by Captain Alsim, the company commander. Along the way, we have experienced too much and lost a lot, but I am sure that you will return with glory and personally engrave your names and the honor of your leadership in the long history of the motherland. "

"Your deeds will appear in the classroom, in the reading voices of our descendants, and on the land you have protected with your blood and life."

"There is no doubt that we have put an end to a group of the most evil and cruel Khorne fanatics in human history, and sent the Nazi gang to where they should go - in their understanding and description. The hell of the proletariat has nothing to do with us, the proletarians, and is not worthy of any sympathy or mercy. "

"The world will remember us, remember what will happen in Berlin today and in the next dozen hours. ɱ"

"No matter what happens in the future, what will the world be like in the future."

"The moment when the red brave warriors wielded their swords and slashed the dragon will be remembered forever. At this moment, we, a group of proletarian fighters and comrades with communist beliefs, will always be young and great. "

"As long as someone remembers us, remember us For everything we have done today, we are still alive! Forever!"

"Now, as the commander of the 1st Tank Division of the Moscow-Berlin Guards Red Banner, who has been honored with the title of "Stalin" leader, I hereby declare-"

Swish--

Before Malashenko finished speaking, all the combat engineers who knew what would happen next immediately stood at attention, feet together, and looked straight ahead in a uniform posture with resolute eyes. Even if their clothes were tattered and their skin was dirty, their strong cohesion and military spirit were still surging out with an unstoppable momentum.

"The task of capturing the top floor of the Capitol and planting the victory flag on the dome is officially assigned to your Aersim Company, Captain, step out!"

At Malashenko's order, Aersim, who responded, straightened his body and took a step forward, and an indescribable excitement could not be suppressed from his eyes. Even Malashenko seemed to have never seen Aersim in such a state.

"This great flag, full of glory, and arduous mission are now given to your unit. For the first and last time, I want to confirm with you whether you have the confidence and ability to complete the mission!?"

When he and Malashenko looked each other in the face, Alsim had never felt as much as he did today. The thing that the division commander was about to hand over to him seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

But it was still something he couldn't wait to desire, and he was sure that he could hold it firmly, no matter how heavy it looked and actually was in his hand.

"Captain Alsim, the company commander, swears here that our unit will resolutely complete any task assigned by the division commander, as always! Repeat, take down the top floor of the Capitol and firmly plant the victory flag on the heart of the Nazis! Guarantee to complete the mission!"

"All—salute!"

Hua La——

Another uniform movement, a series of military salutes facing Malashenko firmly and unwaveringly.

Without any advance rehearsal or drill, everything that is happening now is the on-the-spot performance of Alsim and his comrades.

Next, Malashenko handed the new victory flag, which had been put on the flagpole and fully unfurled, to Arsim.

"For all the struggles fought since 1941, for the hard work and dedication of all proletarian comrades since 1922, please spread the news of victory to every corner of the motherland!"

The familiar and resolute voice echoed in my ears. I took the flag that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds from the hands of the division commander and raised my hand to carefully touch every strand of softness on it.

Even a person like Artim could feel the passion of countless hot blood and all the meanings contained in the heroic dedication, all gathered on this great flag.

"I will not fail my mission, division commander, all the comrades of Artim's company swear to you!"

The most important "gift" and "granting ceremony" ended here, but the deputy division commander Comrade Lavrinenko, who had just arrived from the division headquarters and had something to give, had something to give to Artim now.

"I don't have the chance to climb to the top of the Capitol when the flag is planted, but if possible, I hope you can help bring this thing up so that it can also witness the ultimate moment of glory. Just do me a favor."

"Help?"

Arsim didn't quite understand, still holding the flag that Malashenko had just awarded.

The deputy division commander then took out a long, cloth-wrapped object that couldn't see what was inside, and handed it to him.
