scout platoon?
I can shoot.
So, shoot.
I am a hunter.
Are you also a hunter?
No, I am not.
I am private Bikov.
I know the vicinity very well.
My home is about 30 km from here.
Being in a scout platoon
is not visiting your mommy.
Private Bikov!
I am sorry.
Our sort of man.
Comrade Lieutenant,
I am private Vorobiev.
Let me report.
Go ahead.
Do you need rated sportsmen?
What sport?
Chess.
At ease, private Vorobiev.
I also speak German.
(Speaks German)
"Zaria", "Zaria", come in.
I am "The Earth".
Reply to "The Earth".
Have you really been to Moscow?
Yes, twice.
Is it very beautiful?
Yes, very.
What did you want to be
before the war?
It would have been so great
to be in Moscow right now?
My sister is in Moscow.
She is in conservatorium.
Wow!
Does she sing?
She plays the violin.
What did you want to be?
I don't know yet.
I've just left my secondary school.
Did you volunteer to the front?
Yes, of course, I did.
So, the code for enemy tanks is 49,
21 is for infantry.
For instance,
you need to say tanks are in this area...
You say: "49 in area 4".
If it is infantry, then...
"21 area 4".
Well done.
The code for the scout group is "Star"
and we will, as always, be "The Earth".
Don't you want to take
a radio operator with you.
Today I got a report
from private Simakova.
She wants to go with you.
What is it for?
We don't need anyone.
We are not going
for a nice walk in park.
OK, try yourself.
"The Earth", come in. I am "Star".
You hear me? Over.
"Star", I am "The Earth".
I can hear you well.
"The Earth", I am "Star". Reply.
"The Earth", can you hear me?

Here I am, comrade Lieutenant.
How is you leg?
Good enough to dance.
Are you here to stay,
or going somewhere else?
My assignment is to another unit,
but I was late for my train,
and decided to see my unit
and my lieutenant.
A soldier I met on my way
told me you were still here.
You keep eating. They didn't feed
you like that in the hospital, did they?
So, you are going
to the rear of Germans?
Yes.
That is fun thing to do.
And where is Marchenko?
May his memory live forever.
Are you going with us,
or taking your new assignment?
I'd like to stay with you,
comrade lieutenant.
You will just have to inform the division
I have been assigned to
that I am not a deserter.
Surely we will inform them.
I haven't sent it to my mother.
Will you do it for me?
You will do it yourself, comrade lieutenant,
when you return.
Let's jump.
All right.
Let's sit for a while before we go.
There is no decamouflaging sound.
Katia, do you know the scouts are leaving?
Katia, tonight!
The scout group is ready
to cross the front line.
Head of the group
is lieutenant Travkin.
Let's synchronize our watches.
0:15
Running fast.
Move one minute back.
By 1:00 you should be
at the German trenches.
At 1:00 sharp
artillery will begin bombarding it.
And don't swerve,
or else you will get under my shells.
If by 1:00 you don't reach it,
come back at once.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
If I see your red flare, I will start bombarding
targets 7, 9, and 11 to cover your retreat.
I see.
Are the sappers ready?
Yes.
Listen to the battle-order!
According to the information we have,
the enemy is now regrouping its forces.
Command is ordering us to scout the area
held by the enemy
and confirm the regrouping.
We should identify the targets and
wire the information to the head-quarters.
Our main mission is to find the station
of enemy troops detraining,
locate areas of tanks
and infantry concentration,
reveal the find out the enemy's intentions
on the particular sector of the front.
I remind you that during the raid
you are forbidden to go into action
against the enemy and take captives
to avoid detection.
Follow me.
Crawl to the forest.
Comrade Captain,
"the first" will be talking to you.
Listening.
So, how is it going there?
It looks like they've made it.
Well done.
