The temporary location of the Volga Siege Team was originally a large shopping mall located in the core area of Berlin.
According to locals living nearby, when the Red Army besieged the city, a large-scale looting and "zero-yuan shopping" activity broke out in this shopping mall.
Those Berlin gentlemen who usually spoke elegantly and had a graceful manner were all panicked when they saw the Russian troops approaching the city and the army pressing on the border.
Those who had the ability and connections immediately packed up their gold and silver, packed their baggage, and ran away before the Red Army finally encircled Berlin.
As for those who are incompetent, they cannot rely on connections and cannot use the back door. In short, they cannot escape from Berlin, which was already under semi-military control at that time. Naturally, they have to prepare for the "miserable life" that can be expected in the future.
Make plans.
As a result, a naturally large-scale "zero dollar purchase" event followed.
Facts have proved that when disaster strikes, the etiquette and morality that those bullshit Western gentlemen boast about are all fucking farts. The men who rushed into Berlin's shopping malls to participate in the "zero dollar shopping" activity were doing their best and being thinner.
The shorter and older men had their heads broken and were pushed aside, not to mention the women and children.
This is completely a super-large-scale group activity of "ultimate social Darwinism", and there are no conditions or thresholds for participation. It embodies the core truth of "a big stage for zero-dollar purchases, come if you are interested".
Those who are strong and quick can grab enough food and survive;
The losers of the event will not only starve, but will even be captured by the Nazi black dogs who arrive later. They will either be forced into the army and captured on the spot, or put into a prison to wait for death, or be shot on the spot. In short, no matter what the outcome is,
Not really good.
"It means that tens of thousands of tons of supplies were stored in this place, and you didn't even get a pack of biscuits, is that right?"
Sitting in front of Sulovechenko, the little girl who looked to be in her early ten years nodded when she heard the words, using silent movements instead of verbal answers. Whether it was the rags on her clothes or the dirt on her face,
The shivering look and the movement of hugging her knees with her hands and curling up together clearly showed that this little girl was in a bad situation.
"What about your parents? Don't they care about you? Let a child like you just dance with bullets and cannonballs and run around in the war zone?"
The strong fighting that lasted for many days left Sulovechenko numb.
As soon as the words came out, I felt that something seemed inappropriate. Maybe I shouldn't say this to a ten-year-old lonely child. But I wanted to change something but realized that it was too late after the words had been spoken. Su, who was sitting in front of the campfire,
In the end, Lovichenko did not choose to speak again, but continued what he was doing, using a spoon to stir the contents of the pot on the campfire shelf.
The orange bonfire licked the dark bottom of the pot, reflecting Sulovchenko's cheeks into the color of the sunset.
The beard, which had not been shaved for almost a week, was not intimidating at the moment. Instead, it looked a bit warm like the uncle next door. Perhaps it was this non-aggressive warmth and homely chit-chat that finally made him
It can make little girls willing to open up their hearts.
"My father is a policeman and my mother is a nurse in the hospital. They were both arrested."
"Hmm? He was taken away? Do you know who he was taken away by?"
Sulovechenko also thought that the child's parents might have been separated from the child in the war zone where the neighboring troops were responsible; or perhaps her parents were too slow to run during the "Super Zero Dollar Shopping" event.
Failure to do so in a timely manner may result in failure to participate in activities, arrest, or the like.
However, the little girl's final answer was completely different from Sulovechenko's expectation.
"The SS captured my father. They said Berlin no longer needed the police and it was time to fulfill his obligation as an armed defender. They took him away from my mother and me."
"."
Realizing that this would remind the little girl of some bad things, Sulovechenko, whose smile suddenly stopped, was about to speak and tell the little girl that she didn't need to continue, but she didn't expect that the little girl's mouth was still
One step ahead.
"Later they took my mother away from me. They said that nurses also have duties and obligations that they must fulfill. My mother didn't want to leave me, and I didn't want to leave my mother. They beat her and pushed me away, and finally pushed me away.
One was left at home."
"."
Sulovchenko, who didn't know how to reply, was obviously stunned after hearing this. As a father who also has a cute little daughter of the same age, Sulovchenko really found it hard to imagine such a young child.
How should a person survive being alone in a war-torn city for so many days?
Adults are desperate to escape for their lives, let alone children. This is probably true of the saying "In troubled times, a human life is worse than a dog's".
"Well, everything is over. The war will be over soon and there will be no more gunfire."
"Come on, try this. My uncle can't make anything too delicious under limited conditions. Just give it a try and see how it tastes."
The food being heated in the pot emitted steam and fragrance. It was Sulovechenko who used his "field cooking skills" to use canned beef, canned pork, buckwheat rice, and the ingredients he asked for from the cooking class.
Potatoes and a handful of vegetable leaves were chopped into pieces, thrown into a pot, mixed with water, and stewed into a "big meal."
Veterans like Sulovchenko are at least a large number of them.
Whenever possible, during the night watch, I will make myself some late-night snacks to pad my stomach and drive away the cold. Have you ever experienced the feeling of being hungry as soon as you get up in the morning? In fact, this feeling will occur in the middle of the night.
At first, it's just that people can't feel it when they're asleep, but it's quite uncomfortable to feel like this for a whole night while awake.
The satisfaction brought by late-night snacks and food naturally became the only thing for warriors who had extremely scarce material and entertainment means to have hope and kill time in the endless night. If only they could have a cigarette to worship the gods after eating.
That's even better.
"Thank you, uncle."
Watching the little girl take the lid of the lunch box he had packed and start eating, Sulovechenko also filled a lunch box for himself, and then started to "violently inhale".
The scene of two people, one large and one small, sitting around a campfire, having a meal together in a dilapidated house full of holes. Not only did it not look strange, but it also had a warm color, until a familiar figure came from behind.
