Kabusk Village, near the predestined deployment line of the attacking forces.
Ivan Nikolayevich Andronov heard the distant cries of "Hurrah" from the front.
Curious, he asked, "What's happening?"
However, no one answered him. The sound of the tanks was too loud, so Ivan reached into the hatch and tapped the tank commander's shoulder, "What's happening?"
The commander turned around, "What?"
It seemed that without an internal line, it was basically impossible to hear anything inside a tank.
The Crown Prince waved his hand and sat up straight again, looking ahead.
Finally, he saw clearly at whom the soldiers were yelling "Hurrah": a jeep was parked on the road, and an old man in an old military uniform was saying something.
The tank pulled up next to the jeep and stopped. Ivan recognized that the old man was Duke Rocossov.
"Your Grace!" Despite being the Crown Prince, Ivan used a respectful title, "What brings you here?"
