USSR 1941

  Chapter 56 Wooden House

  Major Gavrilov obviously also discovered these weaknesses, so he walked around outside the bunker worriedly, calling out to the soldiers inside the bunker from time to time to let them see if they could find him.

   "Which unit is responsible for this bunker?" Major Gavrilov shouted from outside when inspecting the part of Shulka: "Are you ready?"

   "It can be said that it is ready, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied: "I am in charge here, three companies, two rows and one shift!"

   "Oh, Shulka!" Major Gavrilov recognized Shulka's voice immediately: "What do you mean by 'can say'?"

   "I'm worried that our bunkers won't work!" Shulka replied: "The Germans will look for dead ends of our firepower and then attack from the dead ends. This is unprepared!"

  Major Gavrilov was stunned for a moment, the words had reached his heart.

   After a while, Major Gavrilov walked back to the bunker, patting the dust off his body, and said, "Yes, Shulka, you are quite right. Do you want to bet on a pack of cigarettes..."

   As he spoke, he shook a pack of cigarettes in his hand. Like last time, it was a pack of German cigarettes.

  Shuerka didn't feel anything.

  Although he knew that German cigarettes were in high demand in the Soviet army... During the war, soldiers were stressed and needed cigarettes to decompress. On the other hand, the cigarettes in the Soviet Union were Mahe cigarettes that needed to be rolled by hand, and the quality of the shredded tobacco was uneven. Of course, German cigarettes with better taste became the treasures in the hearts of soldiers.

   Shulka was thinking about how to survive, and he didn't have that high demand for cigarettes. The actors and his subordinates saw the cigarettes in the major's hands.

   "What's the bet, Comrade Major?" Shulka asked.

   "Bet you can solve this problem!" Major Gavrilov said.

   "It's impossible!" Shulka laughed: "The bunker walls and artillery positions have been fixed, and it's too late to change them now!"

  Major Gavrilov didn't speak, but just shook the cigarette in his hand.

   "I surrender!" Shulka replied.

   "No, comrade squad leader!" All the subordinates wailed: "You can't admit defeat!"

   "That's not a huge problem, is it?"

  …

   "If it's not a big problem, you can also bet on it?" Shulka said: "I believe the major just wants to solve the problem, and doesn't care who solved it!"

   "That's right, Shulka!" The major nodded in agreement, and then turned his gaze to the others.

   But the others were immediately discouraged.

   "Comrade Major!" The thief smiled apologetically, "What we mean is that this is not a big problem for Shulka!"

   "Yes, you know he's Shulka!" said the actor, "Our escape hero..."

   "What?" Shulka cast a puzzled look at the actor and asked, "Okunev, what escaped hero?"

   "Oh, it's nothing!" Only then did the actor realize that he had slipped his tongue: "You took us... and escaped successfully, didn't you?"

   "So you guys gave me this nickname? Escape Hero?"

   "It's not us, it's them, I also heard from others!"

   "That's breakout, breakout!"

   "Oh, yes, of course!" The actor nodded hurriedly: "Breakthrough, breakout heroes are more appropriate, I will correct them next time!"

  Shuerka rolled his eyes, he knew that he couldn't escape the nickname... The nickname is not something you can change if you want, because it was given to you by someone else.

   "It seems that I can't deliver this pack of cigarettes!" Gavrilov shook his head in disappointment, took one out of the pack and put it in his mouth, and passed another one to Shulka.

   "Major..." The actor and his subordinates watched eagerly from the side.

   "Hmm!" The major pretended not to know, and asked while lighting matches and Shulka lit cigarettes, "Is there anything to report?"

  Of course the soldiers didn't dare to ask for anything, so they could only sniff hard at the side.

   "If you think of anything..." Major Gavrilov said, "Tell me right away!"

   "Yes, Comrade Major!"

   When Major Gavrilov turned to leave, he threw the cigarettes to the actors, and the soldiers immediately rushed to **** them with a cheer.

  At this time, Shulka saw a few country houses in front of him, and suddenly thought of something...

   "Major!" Shulka stopped Major Gavrilov who was about to leave: "I may have a solution!"

  The method is actually very simple. If the internal structure and layout cannot be changed, then change the external structure.

  Shuerka raised his head towards the cabins ahead.

"I don't understand what you mean!" Major Gavrilov asked puzzledly: "That's just an ordinary wooden house. There are many such wooden houses on the defense line, and the people have already evacuated. You mean, we set up an ambush there. ? No no, they're too fragile..."

   "No, Major!" Shulka replied, "I mean, why don't we turn the bunker into a log cabin?"

   "Turn the blockhouse into wood?" Gavrilov was taken aback for a moment, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

   "That's right, Shulka!" Major Gavrilov patted Shulka on the shoulder: "It's not difficult at all to turn a bunker into a log cabin! Good idea! The pack of cigarettes is worth it..."

  Shuerka looked at the back of the major leaving in disbelief, and cursed secretly: "I'll go, this method is only worth a pack of cigarettes? And this pack of cigarettes has already been divided!"

   "What are you talking about?" The actor didn't even understand, he asked in a daze, "What kind of bunker turned into a wooden house?"

   Shulka didn't bother to explain to him, there was only smoke in his head.

  The order came down soon, to fully camouflage the bunker before dawn... Lay wooden boards on the side of the concrete exterior wall facing the enemy and add a roof to disguise it as a log cabin.

  At this moment, the actor understood what this meant.

   "But will it work?" the actor doubts: "They only need a few shells to blow up these camouflages!"

"You're making things simple, Comrade Okunev!" The veteran replied while he was busy nailing wooden boards outside the bunker: "They can indeed do this, but the problem is that there are many bunkers and abandoned wooden houses, unless they can Blow up all the wooden houses and bunkers one by one, otherwise there will be no effect!"

  The actor said "Oh" and nodded half-understood.

"Very good way, comrade squad leader!" The veteran looked at Shulka with admiration: "In this way, the Germans will be afraid when they see the wooden house, and they will use it as a firepower point, which will make it difficult for them to find our We can even build a few more wooden houses at key points!"

  The veteran was right, that's exactly what Shulka thought.

   However, this method has not been able to popularize the entire defense line... After Major Gavrilov reported it to the division commander, the division commander thought the same as the actor, thinking that it was a child's play and didn't take it seriously.
