"By the way, you don't have buckets"

The quartermaster looked at Xu Shun and Niu Ding as empty on their horses, and then handed them a bucket made of canvas.

The bucket is made of soft canvas, the same material as the tent, and is very lightweight, folded and easily tucked into a pocket, and when opened, it can hold about seven liters of water, which is used to fetch water for the horses.

"Wow, are you so rich now?"

The endless supplies made Xu Shun couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, they ran communication missions, which were a man with two legs and a horse, and then a bag of cold dry food, and nothing else, of course, and when they were lucky, they could get half a bag of forage, which was for the horses.

As for himself, he could only find a haystack or a cave to sleep in at night, and in case of strong wind and rain, he first let the horse rest well, horses are very scarce and precious, and every messenger is required to protect the horse.

"That's not it"

"Horse feed, lunch boxes, water bottles, grain, tents, buckets..."

"There should be nothing missing"

Triumphantly replied, and the quartermaster folded his fingers and continued.

"It's enough, I used to run down with a pair of legs and a horse!"

Xu Shun waved his hand, unconcerned.

"The era is different, if you have supplies, you should be kind to yourself and the horses, how miserable the comrades who used to be artillery communications, every time someone pulls the horses back"

The quartermaster said with a smile.

In the past, the horses in the army were not well raised, and the breeding team always went to the mountains to cut forage to feed the horses, and the good horses were given priority to the cavalry, and the communication soldiers could only receive errand horses.

"Hey, look at my brain"

"This is the mission funding this time"

At this point, the quartermaster suddenly patted his head, and with a look of enlightenment, he took out five oceans from the back room and handed them to Xu Shun.

"Mission funds! And this? ”

"I don't need to use this."

At this moment, Xu Shun was really dumbfounded, he knew that the division headquarters had become rich recently, but there was a communication mission and the ocean... He really didn't expect it. Five oceans, which is more than the monthly income of a farmer's family.

"Hey, take it, this is the system of the division headquarters, you have hundreds of miles along the way, and if you encounter some problems on the road, you can solve them with money, if you don't use them up, you can turn them over to the company."

The quartermaster directly stuffed the ocean into Xu Shun's hands, and at the same time, he also saw Xu Shun's platoon commander logo.

"You're the platoon commander of the newly formed communications company?"

The quartermaster's tone was surprised.

"Ah, yes"

Xu Shun nodded subconsciously, he was actually thinking about handing over these oceans to the troops later, although the division has become rich recently, but this kind of expenditure is still unnecessary. Along the way, there are tents, food and supplies, and I still have weapons and ammunition, and the ocean is completely unnecessary.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time"

The quartermaster rolled his eyes, his tone complaining.

"Huh? What are you waiting for me?"

Xu Shun didn't understand.

At this moment the quartermaster went into the room and rummaged through it, and after a moment took out a box. The box was opened, and inside was a watch, a brand new one.

"It's Yours"

The quartermaster handed the watch directly to Xu Shun.

"This, this, this, ·····"

The brand-new watch in his hand made Xu Shun stunned at that time, he saw it clearly, this was an imported high-end watch, although he didn't know the English logo on the watch, but at least he knew that it was English.

This thing is not ordinarily expensive, he has been in the army for three years, and he has only seen the division commander and brigade commander They have watches, and there are few others, and this watch in his hand is obviously an imported high-end product, and he doesn't want to take it down for hundreds of oceans.

"Every platoon commander has it, why don't you come and get it?"

Handing the watch to Xu Shun, the quartermaster asked with some confusion.

"Every platoon commander has it?"

Xu Shun's mouth is open.

Recently, Xu Shun has been obsessed with training recruits, and he has no time to communicate with others at all, so he naturally does not know the changes in the division.

"That's right, every platoon commander is Ying

The retired officer nodded his head.

"Na"

Wearing the watch on his wrist stiffly, Xu Shun shook his head with his mouth open, which he really couldn't accept.

As of July this year, Xu Shun has been in the army for three and a half years, he can be the most miserable group of veterans, when he joined the army, it happened to be the most serious moment of the civil war conflict, but also the most severe moment, the base area is crumbling, the troops have suffered heavy losses, the hearts of the army and the people are turbulent, from a recruit to a veteran, Xu Shun does not know how much suffering from insufficient materials over the years.

He has eaten grass roots, gnawed yellow mud cakes to satisfy hunger, and once marched for three or three nights with a pair of soles of his feet, and there are still scars on his feet, and he even walked through the grass and snowy mountains with a few single clothes.

Half a year ago, before going to the Independent Regiment to communicate, he still lived a life of lack of supplies, barely enough to eat, and did not wear warm clothes, and the first order in the army for every battle was to save bullets, and all this changed after that mission.

It's like overnight, the ammunition is enough, and the bullets of the troops can't be said to be free to fight every time they fight, but they are completely sufficient, there is no need to save ammunition deliberately, they can eat enough, and they will not freeze when they are dressed, which is to get rid of poverty.

And then there's the present... Became rich? Can you give each platoon commander an imported high-end watch?

"Good luck with your mission"

Finally, the quartermaster gave a military salute.

"Thank you"

Xu Shun nodded, he looked at the watch in his hand, and left the quartermaster in a daze.

Walking all the way to the gate of the town, Xu Shuncai finally accepted the reality, he touched the watch dial in his hand with his heart, looked at the second hand moving inside, and looked at it with a strong curiosity.

As the guard company of the division headquarters, their old company commander had a watch, which was seized in an anti-encirclement campaign, and had always been regarded as a treasure by the company commander, and he usually didn't let people touch it at all, although he had seen a lot of watches, but this was the first time Xu Shun had touched this thing.

"Good stuff"

Although he feels that he is not suitable for using this good thing, he has to admit that with this watch, he can usually save a lot of time, and it is much more convenient to pass communication on the road.

After a long time, he rolled up his sleeves, hid the watch under his sleeve, and wrapped it with his heart for fear of damage.

"Platoon commander, let me touch it..."

Beside him, Niu Ding hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"It's like the morning has passed, don't touch it, and when you become a platoon commander, you will naturally have it."

Glancing at Niu Ding beside him with expectant eyes, Xu Shun snorted coldly.

"When was I the platoon leader?"

Niu Ding shrunk his neck and muttered.
