...fruit off the trees; you've got to work like hell. You can't move anywhere without hacking your way through the bushes. To make a house, you've got to cut the wood, saw it, and plane it. One man has spent well over a year on a hut, and it is barely half finished...

Here the Russians set up machine-gun nests in a commanding position to attack. . . .
