Karamazov dropped the sapper shovel, sat on the ZIS30, and gasped for air.
He had dug an emplacement to hide the ZIS30, but honestly, he didn't think it was of any use.
The ZIS30 was already quite compact, just piling some grass on it made it nearly invisible from a distance.
Putting the vehicle in the emplacement merely made an already concealed vehicle more hidden. But when it came to concealment, if the enemy couldn't see it, they couldn't see it. Making something that was already well hidden even more so seemed like a futile effort.
The loader asked Karamazov, "Do you think the enemy will counterattack? If they don't, aren't we just wasting our time? We could follow the naval infantry in their attack and be useful by blowing up bunkers or something."
