Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 25 Relaxation in the middle of the night and the Soviet army’s premeditated plan
The soldiers in the trench dug a recessed hole in the side of the trench.

It will indeed be much warmer if you hide inside. In addition, if you don't have an oil lamp, make a hole in front of you and make a fire inside.

It is embedded about fifty centimeters or so.

The smoke is discharged by using a steel pipe to directly punch through a hole as a smoke exhaust.

This allows people to see that in the entire forward trench, white smoke is constantly rising from the walls.

The Soviet troops in the distance thought they were releasing gas bombs here.

How did they know that the German troops were sitting in the trenches warming themselves up? Can you imagine that?
It was the German observers who were really monitoring.

The observers were located behind the frontline trenches, about a hundred meters apart.

If you notice something is wrong, immediately shake the alarm horn in your hand.

There are three observation posts in total, all equipped with telescopes. Soldiers are arranged in groups of three and changed every half an hour.

Even if you have the opportunity to go to this place to assassinate, there is no hope.

Three observation posts could be cleared in half an hour without being discovered, unless Maozi's Alpha Special Forces crossed over.

A German soldier sat in the built-in hole with an opening in the wall in front of him.

Imagine it's an n-shaped chair, and when you sit in it, you face left or right instead of facing out.

So I was able to continue digging a small hole in the wall to light the fire.

Although there is only a small fire, it is not too high-end and luxurious compared to the ice and snow.

The soldiers were very grateful to Edward, who had thought up the idea and approved it.

So the soldiers were very grateful to Edward.

The small earthen stove was crackling and burning, and at the same time, the soldiers also untied their shoes and picked them up.

Anyone who can wear wet shoes hopes to wear something warm.

Otherwise, the frostbite on my feet won’t be enough.

The blizzard was too heavy and the cold wind was howling, so the Soviet army would not be stupid enough to attack at this point.

In addition, the lights were not turned off all night, so it was definitely impossible to attack.

As for the muddy water in the trenches, Edward led more than 40 people to move a large number of stones overnight and then broke them up.

Finally, stones of similar size began to be laid throughout the trench.

This place will need to be used tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. The brothers must not be allowed to step on cold shoes at temperatures below minus ten degrees.

If this were the case, anyone would want to quit.

The soldiers filled ammunition boxes with gravel and started laying 1.1 meters of gravel.

In another bunker, an oil drum was burning, and more than 40 wooden sticks were stuck on the side.

It's not barbecue food or anything, but pure wool socks.

As for the smell, you can imagine it. Within half an hour, about two dozen soldiers went in to change their socks and take them away.

The temperature inside is very high, and you can imagine the smell of toasted socks.

There is also a place to bake shoes. Soldiers without soldiers can pick up their wet shoes and bake them next to the oil drum.

As for the soldiers who stayed in the trenches, they roasted in front of the small fire in front of them.

Late at night, a soldier carrying an oil barrel-shaped soldier shuttled through the position.

What poured out was not kerosene, but hot beef soup.

As for food, they all have it themselves, but if they want to take a sip of hot beef soup, they don't have such a good thing.

This is Edward's order. In the evening, ten pounds of lunch beef will be poured into two large pots to start cooking the soup, and some salt will be added to increase the taste.

Then every three hours, the brothers would be given hot soup to drink.

It is a great gift to be able to drink something like this in a freezing cold weather of more than ten degrees below zero.

The rest of the troops didn't know what was going on, but Edward's side was definitely doing well.

"It's late at night, boss, you should take a rest."

At about two o'clock in the morning, Edward was still busy.

Bobby reminded Edward. "Yeah! I know"

Edward nodded. He hadn't had a good rest recently.

I have been busy with various events happening and solving various things.

After a crawler motorcycle started, Edward took Howard out with him.

There is a gathering place 400 meters away, filled with civilians who cannot escape.

The arrival of severe winter has caused a shortage of food and clothing.

As soon as I entered, I saw several German soldiers coming out with satisfied smiles on their cigarette holders.

It seems that they are just here to have a good time.

After Edward and Howard entered, they found a bathing place.

There are also several hot-looking women waiting on the side.

An oil drum was scrubbed clean, and the water inside was also very clear.

I stepped on the small bench and entered, and then two hot girls immediately came forward and started to help with the bath.

"Don't worry about me, you can decide what you want to do."

Edward picked up a hot towel and put it on his face.

Howard immediately became excited after hearing Edward's approval.

As for Edward, he also picked a good hot girl.

After staying in Stalingrad for a few months, people have become desolate, and the moral bottom line has begun to drop again and again.

Edward, who had slept for a while after about five o'clock in the morning, got up and took Howard away from here.

At the same time, a bag of bread was left. For these people, money or not does not matter.

The important thing is whether there is food and drink. There is no food and drink even if you have money.

So now food is the hard currency here.

It was still dark after five o'clock in the morning, and the half-track vehicle outside was covered in wind and snow.

It took a while to clean it up, but it was finally done.

The motorcycle's fire never stopped, and it wouldn't ignite even if it stopped.

The current temperature is almost minus 20 degrees.

It requires tools to ignite it, so it will not be extinguished.

Half-track motorcycles are actually not very easy to move in the snow, thanks to the tracks behind them that provide power.

If it were a three-wheeled bicycle, it would be impossible to walk in such deep snow.

After the two returned to the camp, it was still dark.

Although it was only a mere 400 meters away, it was still freezing and shivering.

The cold wind was like a knife pulling on my face, causing pain.

Wrapped in a scarf and wearing a steel helmet, only two pairs of eyes were left outside.

Otherwise, this face would really be unbearable. After returning to the camp, the two immediately got into the bunker and entered the place where the beef soup was cooked.

One person picked up the bowl, took a ladle of hot soup and drank it, feeling quite refreshed.

After seeing that nothing happened, Edward found a place to lie down and sleep.

There was no movement until after eight o'clock.

At this time, the Soviet army was also waiting, waiting for the night attack tonight.

It snowed for two consecutive days, and it can be said that the temperature will be even lower on the night of the third day.

From the Soviet perspective, the German troops must all be living in underground bunkers shivering with cold.
