Chapter 61: Welcome to the Mannerheim Line (3) (2/2)
I opened the tin kettle and drank a few sips of water, and his strength recovered.
Because he was worried that the ghosts of the Soviet soldiers would stay behind, Zhang Heng didn't stop and continued to trek deep into the woods. It wasn't until nightfall that he was determined to be out of danger.
The view at night is very poor. Those Soviet soldiers are unfamiliar with their lives in the forest. They also have to worry that the fascinating Finnish guerrillas cannot continue their search.
So Zhang Heng also stopped and decided to eat something and trim it.
打开 He opened his backpack and took out a piece of black bread.
This kind of bread originated in Germany and later spread to Eastern Europe and Russia. It is not really black, but it is darker in color. Don't underestimate this thing. The staple food of the German and Soviet troops during World War II was black bread. According to records, this thing has saved at least 400,000 Soviet people's lives and maintained the combat effectiveness of nearly 10 million troops. Of course, taste is another matter.
Zhang Heng cut a slice with a knife in his bag and tasted it. It felt sour and salty, and the texture was very rough, and it was as hard as the legend, and a bit difficult to swallow. Fortunately, he had also experienced it on the desert island. For a period of lack of supplies, if the danger of war is not taken into consideration, the current environment is much better than his first round start.
The only trouble is that I ca n’t make a fire. It ’s not a technical problem. Even if there is no lighter Zhang Heng in a rucksack, there is a way to ignite the fire. However, the fire is too conspicuous in the dark. After all, it is because he is The forest is too strange, and both the Soviets and the Finnish guerrillas are obscured by his eyes.
Zhang Heng didn't know where the enemy would come from, and he didn't even know whether his current direction was getting closer or farther from the war zone between the two sides. So far he was fully aware of how cruel the reality is. How difficult it is to survive in this war ~~ The only thing that comforts him is the [moment of shadow] in his arms. The three-minute shadow state is his life-saving hole card. Unfortunately, there are only two chances. Until the last minute, Zhang Heng does not plan to use it easily.
He found a place to shelter from the wind, lay down in a military coat, and was awakened by freezing three times a night. The coldness of the winter of 1939 seemed to be among the top ten in Finnish history. There was no bonfire to warm it. It is a severe test for anyone.
If it wasn't for the Soviet sheepskin uniform on his body, Zhang Heng was very suspicious that he couldn't survive the night.
After the sun rose the next day, he didn't care about the danger. He picked up some branches around him and raised a small fire with a lighter. It warmed up and lost his conscious hands and feet. There was still half of the kettle left. The pot of water, however, was completely frozen into a morain after a night.
So Zhang Heng also threw the kettle to the fire, and by the way, roasted the unknown sausage in the backpack.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Heng reluctantly got up, put out the fire with snow, at the same time picked up the sausage on the rack and took a bite, probably because of the black bread as the base, the taste of the sausage was not as bad as expected Inside, it's not a common pork, beef, and mutton, but it can be swallowed.
Zhang Zhangheng was eating bread and sausages while thinking about the next step, but unfortunately he didn't think of any good way for the current situation until after breakfast.
ps: Everyone is interested in yesterday ’s machine gun. The gun was a 7.62mm caliber Degtyarov DP-28 class machine gun. It was designed in 1926. It was equipped with the Soviet army in 1928. During the winter war Debuted.
Guess this runner today ~
