Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 13: Traces of the Soviet commandos were discovered and a large amount of supplies were found
After the recruits were replenished, group searches began to find supplies.

Coupled with the heavy snowfall, the temperature has begun to plummet.

There will soon be thick snow on the ground, and white camouflage uniforms are very important for snow operations.

Counting on the supply of the logistics troops is difficult to meet the current situation, and they will not even be able to eat, let alone wear camouflage clothes.

Starting from the next day, Edward sent people to search the surrounding area.

A team of three people, with one veteran leading the search with two recruits.

The new recruits have not yet felt the cruelty of war, but as the veterans tell their stories, they slowly begin to understand.

After Edward got four oil drums back, he used pliers to open a square hole in the belly. He only needed to throw firewood in through the square hole and burn it inside.

The bottom was punctured by bullets with three vents, so there was no need to worry about the fire below going out.

Exchanging the greatest warmth at the smallest cost is what Edward is thinking of at the moment.

The saved materials will be slowly transported outside the city for burial. These precious materials will be needed if the evacuation is to take place.

The 985th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, so there was basically no fighting this week.

The new recruits also had to be integrated, and the soldiers sent by Edward conducted various searches.

There are quite a lot of things I brought back, including more than 100 ordinary cans of various kinds.

There are also more than [-] bottles of soda, all of which are iced drinks.

We also found more than 160 liters of kerosene. These things are too important for now.

The amount of kerosene applied for three times in a row was pitiful, so the extra 160 liters for nothing was a huge surprise.

However, the kerosene will not be used as fuel at present, but wood will be used for heating.

As long as anything that can ignite a fire is thrown in and burned, that's it.

It’s not easy to find wood to make a living in such a big city.

The cabinets directly next door can be burned for a whole day, not to mention that there are still two beds, three tables and several chairs that have not been dismantled for the fire.

There is a fire burning in the oil drum, and the oil extraction hole on it becomes a natural stove.

If you need to boil water, just put it up and it will boil quickly.

More than 400 kilograms of potatoes were found in a cellar, and Edward sent people to evacuate them in one go.

Two hundred kilograms were left as supplies, and the remaining two hundred kilograms were borrowed from a car and driven out of the city overnight and buried in several places on the outskirts.

Roasted potatoes and beef soup have become the mainstream of eating and drinking.

Not bad, two baked potatoes are very hot to eat, and there is also a bowl of hot soup to drink.

As for whether you drink beef soup, pork soup or vegetable soup, you don’t have to be picky.

Go and find out who has a better life riding a horse than three in a row?
After winning three battles in a row, he obtained two-thirds of the supplies, not to mention the rest.

Supplies and ammunition consumption are not the same category.

Supplies refer to daily consumption. As for food, there is actually a big pot of rice to eat every day.

It’s just that there are missing supplies such as cigarettes, chewing gum, sugar, coffee, biscuits, bread, canned lunch meat, and fruit candies.

Supplies such as bullets and artillery shells are still sufficient.

Basically all these supplies were saved to prepare for the difficult days ahead.

Edward, who was contemplating his plan, was suddenly interrupted by the voice of a soldier.

"Sorry, Lieutenant, a group of our brothers were killed."

After hearing what the soldier said, Edward's expression immediately changed.

The Soviet commandos have always been active, and I don't know how these guys got here.

But what is certain now is that these guys have appeared near him.

The soldiers who dispersed were only a few hundred meters away. The person who was killed was discovered after the body was found.

This shows the seriousness of the matter.

"Has the body been brought back?"

"It's been brought back, it's just outside."

The soldier nodded in response.

Edward immediately stood up and went to the door.I saw the bodies of three soldiers placed at the door.

"These are all means of killing with one strike, without even a chance to struggle."

Edward murmured to himself as he looked at the wound above.

"What should I do, Lieutenant?"

Bucky asked.

"These rats probably don't dare to move on the ground. Let's find out if there is a sewer or the like where the three of them got into trouble."

After Edward stood up, his expression was not good.

For these elite teams, many people can be killed or injured if they are not careful.

This is a hidden danger, and they must be dealt with.

"I know, I'll make arrangements now"

Bucky nodded.

Then a search was launched.

A sewer manhole cover was found in a ruins.

"I really didn't expect it to be hidden in this damn place. There are so many signs of activity around it. It seems that this is the hiding place of these bastards. There is an ambush team in front and behind. As long as they come out of here or go in, I will give them to them. Destroy them”

Bucky ordered immediately after finding the entrance.

The German soldiers of the two squads immediately began to make arrangements.

After returning, Bucky reported the situation to Edward, and then began to prepare to camp.

"Just follow the arrangements, but remember to be careful."

Edward opened a big potato and handed half of it to Bucky.

"Yeah! I see"

Bucky nodded and left with the potatoes.

After a while, Mason and Howard walked in with happy faces.

"Lieutenant, what do you think we found?"

"What did you find? A birth certificate?"

"No kidding, we really found something good"

"Then you said it"

Edward was speechless for a while.

"We found a small workshop with a basement. There were more than two thousand kilograms of flour and an oven below. It looked like a bakery, but the buildings above were damaged."

Listening to Mason's explanation, Edward couldn't help but be overjoyed.

If two thousand kilograms of flour were turned into bread, it would be enough for them to escape from this damn place.

There is no need to scrimp on food anymore, you can afford bread every day, and you can live a good life here.

"With these supplies, we can get through this damn winter. By the way, don't just get bread, pancakes are also fine. You won't bring them to me."

Edward paced back and forth excitedly.

Others didn't know the situation at the end of Stalingrad, but he knew it very well.

The German army currently controls 80.00% of Stalingrad.

But there are still 20.00% of the area firmly in the hands of the Soviet army.

The materials mobilized from Kursk need to be transported from 2000 kilometers away.

A field platoon needs to control a supply defense line of 1-2 kilometers.

Coupled with the low combat effectiveness of the slave countries, the lack of military strength, and the fact that they were facing attacks from Soviet guerrillas, the ground began to freeze after entering winter.

Even though it was crushed by tanks, it quickly turned into mud.

　If you have time, you can join the Penguin Group: 770708934 to discuss the plot or urge updates. If I am delayed by something, you can also say it in there.
