22 The cauldron is simmering for a good time

The kitchen on the first floor of the second building is generally intact, but the joy in Lei Rui's heart has not passed, and when he gets closer, he sees that the iron pot has been smashed by the falling bricks, and his heart is immediately half cold.

As soon as the two of them came out of it, they heard Leybin's shouting and shouted for Lei Rui to come over, and he and Merry searched the building on the right. Lei Rui and Jason rushed over, and the discussion of the sniper position just now ended here.

Jason is an excellent sniper, eliminate the sniper point in the tower, where is the right sniper point for the rest, there is no need for Lei Rui to worry about this, he will have a suitable answer himself.

What Rebin and Melly found was a kitchen that was almost intact, with pots and pans, everything in place, and all clean, which was perfect.

As soon as this location was approved by Lei Rui, everyone went their separate ways, Leybin and Melly carried buckets to fetch water, others packed up planks that could be used to make fires, and even the airborne paratroopers of the 101st Division, when they learned what this squad wanted to do, joined in with great enthusiasm and followed suit.

Lei Rui made a temporary cameo appearance as a battlefield chef, a poor cook, and he couldn't even talk about his cooking skills, a moderate otaku who only made egg fried rice and boiled noodles, was actually pinned on by a group of soldiers here, and even he thought it was funny.

In fact, he will only do one thing, that is, a big mess, boil the water, and then throw the collected luncheon meat and matching things into it, as for the fat in the canned luncheon meat, it is very restrained to retain, and the rest, is the vegetables and potatoes in the field rations of the German soldiers brought by Leybin and Jason, which has become an unprecedented hodgepodge.

The U.S. Army's C combat rations are divided into M and B, of which B is bread as a staple food, and M has a variety of recipes, mainly meat, plus other foods with it, beans, vegetables, macaroni noodles, eggs, noodles, rice, and even bacon and chicken.

So many things were mixed together, boiling a full pot, gurgling, steaming, and fragrant, attracting everyone to gather around the kitchen, drooling greedily.

Captain Miller and Corporal Hansen also came, but they didn't see Ryan, and some paratroopers were whispering to their colleagues to ask what was going on, asking Ryan what was wrong.

"His brother is dead." The paratrooper soldier who was aware of the matter replied softly.

"Which one?" Someone asked.

"All!"

Everyone fell silent, as comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, these paratroopers knew that Ryan had four brothers, all of whom were in the army, and now all three brothers died on the battlefield, leaving his little brother alive alone!

What this sad news meant to him simply spoke for itself.

When the meal was served, all the soldiers were given a large bowl, and their faces were filled with heartfelt joy, Corporal Hansen asked the two paratroopers who were ambushing the German reconnaissance team outside the town with Ryan to bring Ryan a large bowl, and Captain Miller took over the job and said in a deep voice: "No, I'll go." ”

The combat rations consumed for this meal were a bit excessive, but seeing that everyone was so happy, Corporal Hansen didn't say anything, anyway, there would be no shortage of supplies or anything, and there was no need to save money.

At this time, nothing is more important than boosting morale.

By the time Captain Miller and Ryan came over, everyone had gobbled up their hearts and splinters, burping, and enjoying the pleasant time of swallowing clouds and fog, and I don't know who found a trumpet flower gramophone with vinyl records on it, and a slightly sad voice flowing out of the trumpet flower, singing songs that I didn't understand.

But even if he didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, such a slightly sad singing voice still grabbed Captain Miller's whole heart at once.

Lei Rui was softly translating the gist of the lyrics, "Even if I am the only one left in my life, I will dream that you hug me in my arms, and whenever you whisper, let me close my eyes and listen quietly......"

Edith Piafo's music, flowing quietly in the ruins, the setting sun slanting, sprinkling golden yellow on everyone's hair, half of the body, and the whole back, all of them are like sculptures, motionless, completely immersed in the beauty and silence of the moment.

Everyone recalled their joys and sorrows in the past, and their heartstrings were completely touched by the singing, and the whole person seemed to be carried into the time that had passed by the singing.

It wasn't until the record was finished that the trumpet phonograph made a rustling sound that everyone woke up from a dream and came back to their senses.

Corporal Hansen arranged for a manned guard against a German surprise attack, leaving only Captain Miller's seven-man squad and Ryan.

Ryan still didn't come back to his senses from the grief and the situation just now, and muttered, "I can't even remember the faces of my brothers......"

"You can think back to the good times you spent with them," said Captain Miller, with a deep emotion, "and when the people you care about are gone, these good times together will become a source of pain that you will never forget." ”

"Yes, Captain," Ryan said softly, his eyes looking into the void, but his mind had long since returned to the past, "that Christmas, the three of us were in the yard together, playing tricks on the eldest brother, he was originally angry, but soon, he was also amused by our teasing, the four of us were in the snow in the yard, rolling and making a mess, as if back to when we were children, Mom leaned against the door frame, watching us play, with a smile on her face, full of happiness. The following year, we joined the army and never spent Christmas together again. ”

Everyone fell silent, and after a long time, Captain Miller took a deep breath, Ryan raised his head, and said to Captain Miller very sincerely, "Captain, I am grateful that you have come all the way to find me, but I can't go with you, the Germans will soon come to seize this bridge, and I can't leave my comrades and duties behind and go home alone." ”

"But Ryan, we have been ordered to find you and bring you back safely," Leybin cried out, "for this ridiculous order, one of our comrades-in-arms was seriously wounded and almost killed, and you tell us now that you don't go, so what shall we do?" What about our tasks? ”

"I'm sorry for this happening," Ryan said as he turned to Leybin, "You've found me, your mission has been accomplished, go back and tell Command that I've decided to stay and continue my duty, your mission is done!" ”

"Alright then, Captain, what are we waiting for?" Rybin shouted a little angrily, "This damn mission, fuck it, we're done, since this guy has decided to stay and wait for death, that's his business!" We've done it! ”
