On the other side, the other two squads had already returned to Pukarev with water to report.

The task was carried out quite smoothly, and after completing the task of fetching water, only one person was killed and two were injured in the two squads, but the left and right waited for the squad commanded by Shulka.

"What's going on?" Pukarev paced back and forth, and after waiting for a while, he finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Abramwich!" Pukarev ordered: "Go and see what is going on with the first class?" ”

Abramwich was the second squad leader, tall and thin, and especially his long legs gave him a big advantage when running, which gave him the nickname "Long Legs", so the platoon commander sometimes preferred to call him instead of a communications soldier.

"Yes!" Long Legs answered, and ran towards the dormitory with a gun on his back.

It didn't take long for Long Legs to return, and he reported with a surprised face: "Comrade platoon commander, there are no people there, they are not there!" ”

"And where else could they be?" Pukarev asked.

"I don't know!" Long Legs replied.

One soldier quipped, "They won't get lost!" ”

The soldiers all laughed.

Of course, Pukarev knew that this was impossible, and even if Shulka didn't know the way to the dormitory, his subordinates knew it.

It is also impossible to be a deserter, because there are Germans everywhere and they have nowhere to run.

So...... There was only one possibility, and that was to surrender to the Germans.

"Damn it!" Pukarev scolded, and then ordered: "Pick up your guns, let's go get them back!" ”

Just as he was about to set off, he saw Shulka and his group come out of the traffic trench.

Pukarev couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a head on his head: "Great, you guys are finally back, I thought I sent you to Moscow to get water!" ”

"I'm sorry, Comrade Platoon Commander......"

"Did you get the water back?" Pukarev interrupted Shulka.

"No, comrade platoon commander......"

"You're trying to tell me that you've been there for so long and you haven't gotten water?"

Actually, there was no need to ask, the iron bucket did contain something, although Pukarev didn't see what it was, but it was so light that it could shake from side to side in the wind, and it certainly wouldn't be water.

"So what exactly did you do?" The furious Pukarev kicked the bucket over, and then grabbed Shulka by the collar: "Do you want to tell me where you hid and turned around and then ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Pukarev noticed that something was wrong, because the surroundings were instantly quiet, and his eyes changed from the original schadenfreude to surprise.

"What's wrong?" Pukarev asked, puzzled.

"Comrade platoon commander!" With some incredulous expression, Longleg picked up a piece from the ground and said, "It's bread, they brought bread!" ”

"Bread?"

"Bread!"

……

This word caused a sensation around them, and even the soldiers of the other units crowded up, and if it weren't for the soldiers of the second platoon with guns in their hands, they would have stepped forward to rob them.

"What's going on?" Pukarev looked at Shulka suspiciously: "Where did you get the bread?" ”

"I was about to report to you, Comrade Platoon Commander!" Shulka replied: "We stumbled upon a batch of supplies, which escaped the bombardment of the Germans in bomb shelters!" ”

"A batch of supplies?" Pukarev asked: "How many?" ”

"Twenty cars!"

"Coaxing", this word caused a sensation again.

You must know that the war broke out at four o'clock in the morning, which means that most people have only eaten two small meals of mashed potatoes from last night to now, and at the same time they have been fighting all day, and everyone is so hungry that their chests and backs are close to their backs.

Shulka, however, found a supply ......

"Are they all bread?" Pukarev asked again.

"No!" Shulka replied: "There is water, there is vodka, and there are weapons and ammunition!" ”

Every time Shulka spoke, the surrounding soldiers let out a cheer, and if it hadn't been for Pukarev to stop him, they would have even lifted Shulka up and threw him into the air.

"What's the situation?" An officer burst through the crowd and shouted, "Shut up and get back to your posts!" If the Germans give you a few shells at this time, I am sure your cries will soon turn into wails! ”

It is true that the taboo on the battlefield is the sound that can attract the attention of the enemy and the gathering of many people.

"Comrade Company Commander!" Pukarev stepped forward to salute and reported: "My men have found a batch of supplies!" ”

"A batch of supplies?"

"Yes!" With that, Pukarev beckoned to Shulka.

Shulka then realized that the officer in front of him was his company Davydov, and he hurriedly ran forward to continue Pukarev's words: "Yes, comrade company commander. A batch of supplies, two dozen vehicles, loaded with ammunition, food and water, and perhaps medical supplies...... I'm not sure because we didn't check it carefully! ”

"Where is it?" The company commander asked.

"Zhurav bomb shelter!" Shulka replied: "I have two men guarding there, and no one is allowed to approach without orders!" ”

"Well done!" Hearing this, the company commander couldn't help but glance at Shulka more, and then he recognized Shulka.

"Are you the soldier who blew up the enemy tank?" The company commander asked.

"Yes, Comrade Company Commander!"

The company commander nodded, turned his head and ordered the communicator: "Inform the major immediately!" ”

As mentioned before, the supplies at this time can definitely be said to be a treasure, so it quickly attracted the attention of Major Gavrilov.

Needless to say, Major Gavrilov immediately sent someone to take over the Zhurav bomb shelter, and then evacuated and deployed the materials in the bomb shelter.

It's a very professional practice, and although it's a bomb shelter, there's no place on the battlefield that can be said to be truly safe.

The best thing to do is to "evacuate".

That is, the materials are divided into several parts, and the weapons, equipment or ammunition can be allocated to the troops as much as possible...... In this way, on the one hand, it can improve its own combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, it can also ensure the safety of materials.

This kept Major Gavrilov busy for a while, so he didn't find Shulka until the second half of the night.

Shulka was taking a nap in the trench with his rifle in his hand.

It was a painful experience, Shulka was so tired that his bones were falling apart, but he couldn't sleep, all he could do was close his eyes and rest.

Then Shulka felt someone sitting next to him, and Shulka opened his eyes and couldn't help but be startled.

"Major!" Shulka tried to stand up and salute, but was stopped by the major.

The major patted Shulka on the shoulder and said: "You saved us, Comrade Shulka, you gave me hope!" ”
