Russian Command Post
Ourdzhaba, Dagestan, Russia
July 4th
6:00 AM
General Ivan Konev and his officers were hard at work with the final planning stages. A hotel in the city had been converted into Konev's command post, with maps pinned up on the walls, radios occupying rooms, and the entire building bustling with activity. Konev went to the roof, and peered through his binoculars at the border. He could just make out the shapes of his army. He smiled and went back inside.
"Comrades, it is time. Begin operations."
Russian/Azerbajani Border
4 miles Northwest of Salakhoba, Azerbajian
The Soviet troops waited anxiously at the border, awaiting the final order. It was no surprise that they were there, and they were ready to fight for their Motherland. The Azerbajani had been reportedly too distracted by all the infighting. Now it was time to recliam the pride that the Soviet Army once held.
A shrill chours of whistles blew, and first the artillery guns started pounding on Azerbajani defensive positions on the border. The T-34 and KV-1 tanks, as well as the armored cars, started driving across the border, while the Soviet troops rushed across the border. Fighters and bombers zoomed overhead. It started, and there was no going back.
