Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 35 The sorrow of little people, if you don’t want to die, just change your life

After nightfall, everyone climbed out of the snow cave one after another.

When counting the number of people, it was found that two of the soldiers had died in the snowdrift.

"The weather is really bad. If it continues like this, we don't know how many people in our group will be buried here."

Lieutenant Lawrence said with emotion.

But now that we have reached this point, no one has a chance to back down.

"If we want to survive in this troubled world, we have to change our way of living."

Edward said with emotion as he looked at the blizzard that filled the sky.

I used to think that I could change something with my own hard work and the hard work of my brothers.

As a result, nothing changed and snowstorms continued.

Operation Winter Storm organized by the peripheral Manshuai failed.

The last rescue force was gone, and the stupid Paulus did nothing but obey.

If Paulus responded positively when Operation Manshuai Winter Storm began.

With the remaining supplies and the strength of the 10,000+ people of the Sixth Corps, it is not impossible for some people to escape.

Beginning in 42, the commanders of each major army group were successively replaced by mustaches, who could be called upon by him.

The outcome is self-evident.

If the German army gives up a large amount of territory and shrinks its troops, the commander-in-chief is allowed to directly inflict heavy losses on the Soviet army, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of the opponent's troops.

After the vitality is wiped out, it will not take a day or two to recover.

The stupid mustache didn't think about this, he just thought about how much territory he occupied.

Regardless of the condition of the soldiers under his command.

In the night and snowstorm, all the soldiers began to take action.

Mason led twenty soldiers two miles away from the main force.

The soldiers' feet were tied with wooden boards so that they would not have to walk one foot deep and one foot shallow when walking in the snow.

Although walking is twisted, it is much better than stumbling on the snow.

"Shh!"

The soldier in front squatted down and made a gesture.

Everyone immediately squatted down and stopped moving.

Everyone was wearing white camouflage uniforms and carefully arranged in a long snake formation.

Each person is spaced about five meters apart so that they can clearly see the gestures and pass them on to the next person.

The soldiers in the front row bent down and quickly came to the middle position.

"Sir, there is a suspected Soviet position ahead. What should we do?"

After listening to the soldier's report, Mason began to think about what to do.

"The three of you go over and investigate to see if there is any other way. In addition, you should report the matter to Captain Edward immediately."

Mason immediately arranged it, and then motioned for the rest of the people to get down in a defensive formation.

Three scouts set out to investigate.

In the snowstorm, they kept coming towards the Soviet position.

The two sides were less than 40 meters apart, and it was impossible to see them in the dark night.

However, the Soviet positions and outlines were clearly visible.

Two of the German soldiers did not move, but the other German soldier crawled backwards cautiously.

When we were more than 60 meters away, we bent down and got up and headed back.

As for the two German soldiers, they took out all the grenades and unscrewed the caps, ready to throw them all out at any time to catch the Soviet army by surprise.

After Edward, who was in the rear, learned of the situation, he also understood that if he delayed for a long time, he would not only be killed, but he might also starve to death.

The supplies they carry can enable them to travel up to a hundred kilometers away.

In a snowstorm, body heat is consumed too much, and food is the source of calories.

So the consumption along the way is huge.

"Fight it. Once you fight it, don't stop and keep moving forward. Pursuit in the dark is not a good idea for the Soviet army."

Edward gave the order, which meant that a raid would soon begin.

After the soldier with the order passed the message to Mason.

Mason immediately knew what to do. "Be prepared to fight, move forward, and don't be exposed if you can do it without a gun."

Mason led the soldiers to the position of the two scouts reserved in front while crawling forward.

"You two come with me"

Mason, accompanied by two scouts, crawled forward cautiously.

There were bursts of grunting and the sounds of two Soviet soldiers chatting in the trench.

There was no sense of imminent danger at all, after all, the German army was trapped in Stalingrad at this time.

The suburbs can no longer be defended, and the edges of the suburbs have no attack power.

Mason carefully descended from the trench.

One of the Soviet soldiers was sleeping in a bunker dug inside the trench.

A sudden pain woke him up instantly, but the sharp bayonet had pierced his heart and he died before he could struggle a few times.

The three of them headed towards the location of the sound.

Inside the machine gun bunker, two Soviet soldiers were chatting.

Mason made a gesture, and one of the scouts immediately squatted down from the trench, then lay down and crawled to the other side of the door of the machine gun nest.

"Ding"

A faint sound reached the ears of the Soviet soldiers.

"what's the situation?"

One of the Soviet soldiers took a Mosin-Nagant rifle that was leaning on the edge of the bunker, pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, and came out to take a look.

As soon as he came out, he was quickly stabbed to death by Mason and another scout.

"hey-hey……"

A chuckle made the Soviet army inside mistakenly think that his comrades were playing a trick on him.

Then he stuck his head out with a smile on his face to see what his comrades were doing.

Pfft!

The moment he poked his head out, he saw two enemies wearing German military uniforms.

Before he could shout, his throat was cut open with a sharp bayonet by the person behind him.

"Uh uh..."

The Soviet machine gunner covered his leaky throat, and blood continued to spurt out.

There is no chance to speak. The incision of the throat means that the trachea has suffered a large rupture and cannot provide air, so there is no possibility of making a sound.

The two bodies were carried into the machine gun nest.

The three of them began to cautiously continue to shuttle through the trenches.

Along the way, he killed four sentries and several sleeping Soviet soldiers.

This [-]-meter-long position has been cleared.

Following a wave of greetings, the rest of the German troops entered one after another.

All the belongings of the Soviet army were also plundered by them.

After Edward and others arrived here, they immediately chose to leave without stopping.

What is going on here will be discovered tomorrow morning.

The next time I think about breaking through the defense so easily, it will be more troublesome than this.

In one night, everyone walked about twenty kilometers.

In a dense forest, there were cedars everywhere. Edward led the soldiers to build a simple defense zone again in the early morning.

Everyone is resting here, and with the heavy snow in the sky, they are not afraid of being caught setting fires.

And the process of lighting the fire is very strict.

Smoke exhaust is carried out in the three snow trails, and there are thirty or forty holes in them that can exhaust smoke.

Then these smoke mixtures cannot be found at all in snowy weather.

It can be said that Edward and his team were as careful as they could be.

After all, this is a matter of life and death for everyone.

The snow was boiling in the light of the burning fire. Each person carried two kettles, which contained not water but kerosene and gasoline, which were used as fuel.
