"Follow the footsteps ahead!" Major Gavrilov ordered loudly: "Do not try to leave the ranks or take a new path!" ”

Of course, this was true, and no one in the swamp dared to be careless, not even the soldiers who walked through the swamp in front, who had to be carefully tested with their wooden staff before taking a step.

"Hey, Shulka!" At some point, Agata walked behind Shulka.

"I heard, it's the gas mask that works?" Agata asked, "You saved us with it?" ”

"Don't thank me, Agata Shulka replied cautiously following the footsteps ahead, "I'm saving myself, too!" ”

"That's right!" Agata replied, "So you'd better be careful!" ”

"What?" Shulka didn't understand what that meant.

Agata laughed and explained, "Because only if you are alive can you save others while saving yourself!" ”

Shulka couldn't help but roll his eyes, he had never seen anyone talk in such a jumping way, no wonder women were born to be masters of chatting.

The sky gradually brightened, and a ray of sunlight emerged from the end of the swamp, and then suddenly the whole sun appeared in front of everyone, illuminating the originally black swamp.

This was Shulka's first time in a swamp...... No one likes this experience, even in the desert, and some people want to feel the endless sea of sand below.

But the swamp, it's like shrinking people into a stinking gutter, there is sewage everywhere, there is a foul rancid smell in the air, flies, mosquitoes, and many other disgusting reptiles of all kinds unknown that will drive you crazy.

Later Shulka learned that some reptiles were not only disgusting, but also dangerous.

Soon after, another order came from the front: "Don't drink the water of the swamp!" ”

"It's all dirty water!" "Some of them look clean, but when you drink them, you get sick, diarrhea, fever or whatever," Agata explained. Then don't even think about getting out of here! ”

"So how do we solve the problem of drinking water?" Shure shook the half-pot that was left, meaning he was going to survive the day with that half-pot.

"When you rest!" Agata said, "Boil the water, and then it's ready to drink!" ”

"How do you know this?" Shulka asked.

"My hometown is in Slutsk!" Agata replied: "It's on the edge of this swamp......"

As he spoke, Agata straightened up and looked into the distance, pointing in one direction and saying, "There, at the end of the swamp!" ”

"Oh!" Shulka replied, "Maybe we'll pass by your house again!" ”

Agata was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "I have discovered your weakness, Shulka!" ”

"What?"

Agata smiled and didn't speak.

Later, Shulka looked at the map and learned that Slutsk was in the northeast of the swamp, and their destination was southeast.

Damn sense of direction!

One of the troubles brought by the dawn was that the surroundings were getting hotter, and the scorching sun was shining on the swamp to evaporate the water, and soon the surroundings were full of moisture, damp, muggy, and even more uncomfortable, the stench.

This is another danger of the swamp...... The germs in the dirty water will be evaporated into the water vapor and diffuse into the air, and then inhaled into the lungs through breathing, and then the person walking in it will get some inexplicable diseases.

Compared to these, the search of the German army was somewhat insignificant.

After dawn, the Germans once sent planes over the swamp to search ...... Shulka believed that it was a plane sent by the German army in Brest, because the Germans at this time should not waste such an important resource on searching the swamp.

This did not help them in the war, the Soviet troops who entered the swamp were only 500 people, and the German planes could kill or blow up 500 Soviet troops in other directions with their search skills.

Therefore, the Germans were not willing to let the Soviet troops flee from Brest like this.

But so what?

The swamp area looks empty, but it is not easy to find the people below from the air, because the infantry on the ground can also hear and even see the planes flying here in the distance, so all they have to do is smear their clothes with mud and lie down......

It's not easy to do this, because there's often dirty water under your body that doesn't reach your calves.

But in order to avoid the enemy's aircraft, it is still worth it, and the troops can also take a rest at this time.

The two German Junkers circled the sky a few times, found nothing and flew away.

There were no planes to search for it, and Shulka thought that this should be a "business" for the German commander to realize that it was not a good deal.

The most difficult thing in the swamp is the night.

Before it gets dark, they have to find a habitat, a high ground where there is no water.

Then, as Agata said, the cooking class began to set up the pot and find everything from the surroundings to burn the water.

Boiling water was always paramount, especially since the Soviets received plenty of food from the Germans, which the soldiers wrapped in tarps and put in their backpacks, knowing that they would have to rely on these things to get out of the swamp.

The actor munched on buttered bread and exclaimed in satisfaction: "The Germans really enjoy it, it's hard to imagine that this is the ration of their soldiers!" ”

The actor is right, compared to the Soviet soldiers, who only had mashed potatoes and black bread with grass seeds and even mineral powder, the food of the German army was simply a rare delicacy.

"It's not surprising, Okunev!" The thief replied, "Their meal also includes honey and chocolate!" ”

"Wow!" There was a look of envy and suspicion in the actor's eyes.

"It can't be!" The actor said, "Chocolate? Will they give chocolates to soldiers? ”

As mentioned before, after the Soviet light industry was extremely weak, chocolate was a high-end food for them.

"Nothing is impossible!" The thief replied.

"How do you know?" The veteran asked, "Maybe it's just you talking nonsense......"

But in the next second, the veteran stopped talking, because the thief had secretly thrown a small piece of something to a few people nearby, and then lowered his voice and said, "Don't let people see it!" ”

Of course, this is also indispensable for Shulka...... In fact, the thief gave Shulka two pieces.

"Where did you get this from?" The veteran asked.

"Remember when we stormed the enemy's headquarters?" The thief explained: "You only know to check the body and pull out the telephone line, but you don't find the chocolate in the drawer!" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but suddenly realize...... Finding good things has always been a thief's specialty, and they can't compare.

"I forgive you!" The veteran raised the chocolate in his hand.

"What?" The thief was somewhat inexplicable.

"A month ago, you stole my pen!" The veteran replied, "I'm going to beat you up when I get out of this swamp!" ”
