Except for a little bread they had eaten in the morning, Vasily and Ludvik drank only a little water throughout the day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info They are accustomed to the rhythm of silence, waiting, and enduring hunger, which is something that snipers must get used to and overcome.

Anyone would choose between starvation and life, but Vasily was not one to deal with casually: he would try to be as comfortable as possible if he could, and this is what snipers need to learn to take care of themselves in order to stay in the best shape.

Alyosha and Sasha don't have to starve, they can comfortably nibble on bread in their hidden positions. Although it was only September, the weather was already very cold, and Vasily only ate; A little brown bread from Alyosha's hand—a hot potato soup in ten minutes, and let my stomach endure it a little longer.

The snipers had several of their own gathering points not far behind the positions, and the resting place of Vasily's group was in the basement of a residential building, where comrades who had volunteered to help were at their service. Whenever night falls, a large pot of potatoes awaits them.

Turning around, the four men walked along the ruins into the badly damaged residential building, where militia comrades stood guard in the shadows. After saying hello, the four of them walked down the stairs into the warm basement.

A middle-aged woman with a headscarf wrapped around her head was busy in front of a steaming tin bucket when she saw Vasily come in: "Eat something, there are still some carrots today." ”

Putting down his weapon, Alyosha took his lunch box and ran to the iron bucket first: "Comrade Demila, I smelled the fragrance at the door, hehe." ”

Fill yourself with a bowl full of small potatoes and red carrot cubes.

"Here, there are raw, washed." Demira handed over a carrot, and Alyosha grabbed it in his hand and bit it.

Many people don't like eating carrots raw, but in the current conditions, this is probably the best way to supplement vitamins. Vasily also made himself a bowl and was amazed by the craftsmanship of Comrade Demila. 、

Do boiled carrots taste good with potatoes? Of course, it's not much better, but it's good enough to be well fed in the current situation! Now the whole city strictly implements the ration system, and the standards of officers and soldiers are the same, and many times they just have what to eat. Now the environment of the position is a bit chaotic, and it is very difficult to transport the supplies in the back, everyone will bring some food by their side as a reserve, and they can save their lives at the critical moment.

Demira turned out to be a counselor at the Youth Palace, and after the war volunteered to stay here to help, and happened to be in charge of the food for the sniper comrades.

"Comrade Demeira, where did you find this carrot?" Vasily put down his lunch box after two bites, he had not eaten vegetables for several days.

"Not far in front turned out to be the agricultural experimental base of the Children's Palace, I went to see it at noon, and there were still some carrots, but unfortunately the others were blown up."

"Don't go next time, there are German sniper activities not far away, it's too dangerous."

Vasily didn't say much, he and his comrades knew that the attentive Demira must have noticed that his comrades' lips were cracked because they couldn't eat vegetables, so he took the risk of getting some vegetables for everyone.

"I didn't go, I pulled out some of them, and I sent some to the militia comrades on the side."

The five of them were eating and chatting, and suddenly someone came down the stairs, "It's so fragrant, it's really timely." ”

As soon as he heard the voice, Alyosha knew who was coming, "Comrade Leonov, why are you here?" ”

A militia comrade accompanied the deputy commander-in-chief staff officer with a large bag on his back and walked down the stairs, "The marshal asked me to send you something, but no one else can find it." ”

Leonov looked left and right, "What about the others?" ”

"Shidorenko hasn't come back yet, so I guess I'm going to trouble the German kitchen."

The resting place of Sidorenko's group was with Vasily, but Shidorenko had a hobby lately, always troubleshooting the Germans in the kitchen and toilets - night was when snipers lurked, but it was not a suitable reality for sniping, with the exception of the German field kitchen.

Using the darkness as a cover can get as close as possible to the German positions, and the battle has been fought to this point, and the strict Germans no longer strictly follow the regulations, in fact, in many cases, it is impossible to do the regulations. The field kitchen, which was on the edge of the position, became the only possible target for Vasily and others to snipe at night - no matter how careful the Germans were, there was no place to take care of, and it was impossible to cover all the kitchens tightly.

Shidorenko has been making this generation of German soldiers dare not go to the toilet at will for several days in a row, and now at night he is aiming at the Germans' eating skills, in his words, so that the fascists can't eat and can't pull out!

Injure! Absolutely enough! But this is a war, as long as the fascists are eliminated, any damage moves, as long as they can fight the fascists, is a good way.

Leonov put down the bag he was carrying and sat on a broken chair next to Alyosha: "I'm tired to death!" ”

The bag is large and does not seem to be light.

"What is it?"

"The aid that was just delivered to the United States today is all food, and the chief asked me to send some to you first, and the other troops can send a batch tomorrow."

I opened the backpack and poured out a whole bunch of things, all cans and cardboard boxes, and even a small crate.

Alyosha studied it for a long time and couldn't figure out what these things were, because they were all in unintelligible English. The fact that the big guy can't read doesn't mean that no one knows anyone here: Leonov was fluent in English, became a docent, and made introductions that opened the appetite of comrades!

"It's all military rations for the Americans, so I'll just choose some for you. Vasily, knowing that the more convenient it is for you to eat, the better, and in that crate is a 12-serving U.S. Army K-ration, suitable for you to eat while you are lurking. With that, Leonov kicked the box to Vasily's side.

"This Yankee's army rations have caught up with the department store, and I went to receive it today and listened to the quartermaster's head!" As he spoke, he picked a lot of canned food into a piece, "This is a person's ration for a day, what is it called a C-type ration, by the way, there is also an accessory package." ”

When I opened that accessory bag, the contents dazzled the comrades! Packs of four cigarettes, instant coffee pods, salt packets, plastic spoons, and even toilet paper!

"Leonov, what is it?" Alyosha is very familiar with staff officers because he has always protected Lin Jun, and his title is relatively casual.

"Chewing gum." Leonov had to teach his comrades how to chew gum so as not to choke on himself!

Snipers don't smoke on missions, but that doesn't mean they don't smoke on a regular basis: a few of them have been out of food for a long time, and the American cigarettes are immediately divided, "and there are other accessory bags, and there are also in the crate, American brand, good luck and camel." ”

Or Ludwick was more personable, and made a cup of American coffee for Demira when everyone was asking, "It tastes good!" ”

"It's beef stew with baked beans, it's ham egg with potatoes, this jar is chicken stew, there's crackers in it, that's cereal, jam, raisins, granulated sugar and instant lemon powder in that jar. This is just a series, and you will eat other combinations of varieties in the future, and I can't say all about it, it seems that there are also toffee, sugar-coated peanuts, sugar cubes, stewed pork with roasted beans, stewed beef with macaroni, stewed ham with kidney beans or something. You'll know what it is when you open it, and it probably tastes good. It doesn't matter if you don't know what, at least you can't eat the dead. ”

Leonov's introduction made the comrades listen to it a little and couldn't reflect it at once - is this a military ration or a big meal in a Moscow restaurant?! This American soldier is enjoying it too much, right?!

"Comrade Major, this seems to be a canned meat, isn't it?" Vasily had already seen the market since he became a soldier, and was no longer the son of the Ural hunter who knew nothing, but today it was really an eye-opener.

"Oh, it's called luncheon meat, but according to the marshal, there is not much other nutrition except calories, and eating too much will make people gain weight and increase cholesterol, the taste, you can taste it, and I haven't eaten it either."

Leonov said this in his mouth, thinking about the expression and attitude of Comrade Marshal when he saw luncheon meat: it seemed that he did not have a good impression of this food.

What Vasily had in his hand was a can of "Spam luncheon meat", which Leonov quickly opened with a matching can opener and divided it with a knife he carried with him.

"Tastes good, fat? Haha, I wish I could! "Alyosha is not afraid of gaining weight - it is good to eat in a war, and according to the current combat intensity, starvation is victory!"

Leonov, who tasted this American luncheon meat in his mouth, would also find it difficult to understand why Comrade Marshal had such an attitude towards luncheon meat.

Lin Jun feels average about luncheon meat, although it has not reached the level where American GIs call it "spirit meat", hated it, and is simply unforgivable, but he is not interested in this kind of luncheon meat, which is difficult to eat in addition to starch, salt and spices. The comrades thought it tasted so good, and probably only the pampered American GI and Lin Jun, who was accustomed to Chinese food, would not be interested in Spam luncheon meat.

There are so many varieties that the comrades, of course, will not eat according to American standards, let Demira save it, and send some to the militia comrades outside, where canned beef can be added to the stewed potatoes. But there are some things that are not indiscriminate, such as cigarettes! -- Everyone collected all the cigarettes in the package and distributed them uniformly, as well as luxurious sugar coffee and beverage powder.

What they saw when they opened the crate made the comrades once again puzzled for a moment - the staple food inside turned out to be chocolate that was about to catch up with the wall tiles!
