The person who spoke was a second-class sergeant major, his body was clean, and compared with the veteran oil of the saint Bode, he seemed a little out of place, he was holding a clipboard in his hand, carrying an M1943 mail bag, and he also looked like a new soldier, at most he was a half-old recruit, but his starting point was higher, maybe he had just graduated from the tank officer school, and his rank was higher than that of Don. Veterans like Collier are even higher.

The sage didn't say anything, just stretched out his finger and pointed at Tang. Collier's back, over there, were gathering those platoon commanders and commanders, exchanging gains and contacting each other.

Like Don. Collier, a grassroots commander who came up from the bottom, is wholeheartedly supported by his soldiers, all of them are experienced guys, and their behavior is rude, but they are definitely fought from the blood and fire on the battlefield.

Lei Rui was busy with his work and didn't have time to pay attention to the commander Tang. The situation on Collier's side, he just asked Grady, the big ass who was taking him to get ammunition, "Did the second sergeant major send an order?" ”

"He's our platoon commander!" Grady, the big ass, replied, "But he has been in the company headquarters, and he and the company commander each command a tank, and our armored third platoon, or Don has the final say." ”

"Is that what the company commander meant?" Lei Rui asked.

"No, it's the platoon commander's own meaning."

"Oh," replied Lei Rui, a little surprised, "he's a smart man, and he's a little self-aware." ”

The two of them talked and worked at the same time, maybe it was Lei Rui's combat experience, or maybe it was Captain Miller's comment of "excellent soldier", which accelerated the process of accepting him from these veteran oilers, at least the driver fat Gotrini and the loader big ass Grady in front of him had a good attitude towards Lei Rui, only the gunner saint Bode was still a little cold.

When he returned to the tank after his work, the night had already shrouded the four fields, and the fat brother was burning a fire by the tank, and the saint was concentrating on making coffee, using the M1941 gasoline stove, which Lei Rui also used to make coffee when he followed Captain Miller in the town of Rumler.

In the field camp, there was no delicious food at all, only a field ration package, Lei Rui turned out a small deep-mouth aluminum pot from the M1943 camp bag tied to the side of the tank, and a few iron supports, three or two times, set it on the fire, and poured water into it.

"What are you doing here?" Sage Bode asked curiously.

Lei Rui raised his head and replied with a smile: "The battlefield ration package is too unpalatable, change the taste." ”

As he spoke, he took out two German soldiers' field ration packs from the camp bag, and the GIs, who were tired of eating luncheon meat, were like treasures for the vegetable packets and canned fish in the German field ration packs.

These were found in the small town of Ramler, and after the battle, Captain Miller contacted the field command and was given the order to wait on the spot and return with the military vehicle two hours later.

Taking advantage of this time, these people who survived the catastrophe collected a lot of loot and packed them in their respective camp bags, and those paratroopers who died in battle left many empty camp bags.

The big ass Grady sat down, the narrow folding stool couldn't fit his big ass at all, no wonder he got such a nickname, watching Lei Rui busy here with interest, exchanging glances with the fat brother from time to time, and feeling each other's surprise.

After a while, the hodgepodge in the pot came out with a rich aroma, wafting around, and the tank soldiers next to them looked at it one after another, and some guys who couldn't sit still came over and praised loudly, and the sage Bode shouted very unceremoniously: "Hi! It's not your share! We haven't eaten yet! ”

But it was useless, the guys who came over were still one after another, and they were still cheeky and lying on the side of the tank, but they didn't leave, and a few platoon commanders over there got together to smoke, and one guy looked at this side a few more times and asked, "Don, that recruit was picked up by you on the road?" It's not bad, so quickly accepted by your guys. ”

Tang Dynasty. Collier threw away the cigarette butt and walked over, just as he saw Lei Rui open two more cans of rations and pour them into the pot in one go.

"What is this?" Tang Dynasty. Collier asked.

Lei Rui replied: "The ration packs of the Germans, they have less meat and more vegetables, unlike ours, they are tired of eating lunch meat!" ”

"Fack!" Big Ass Grady yelled, "Ray! When exactly can I eat it? I can't stand it anymore! ”

"Wait a minute!" Lei Rui opened another box of cans, and it caught fire, and when everyone saw what was inside, their eyes immediately lit up and they were excited.

"Damn it! Canned fish! Where did you get that? How come we haven't been equipped? Sage Bode shouted in a low voice, and at the same time raised his head and looked around vigilantly, as if he was afraid that others would come and snatch it away when they saw it.

Lei Rui smiled and replied: "Germans, anyway, I haven't seen our side equipped." ”

Before he announced that he could eat it, several people were already in a hurry, holding empty cans in their hands, staring at the hodgepodge in the pot, and almost drooling.

What surprised them even more was that Lei Rui even carried a spoon, each of them scooped a canned box, and the other three commanders of the third company also held the empty canned box with a big grin and stretched it out to the side of the pot.

"Hey! We don't have enough to share! Sage Bode shouted.

Tang Dynasty. Collier glanced back at the three of them, turned his head silently, and said to Lei Rui, "Give them a spoonful, or they will hate you to death!" ”

A pot of hodgepodge was swept away in an instant, and the few guys in the furious chariot were very satisfied, and they were tired of eating the cold luncheon meat in the ration bag, and now they could eat a mouthful of hot food, even if they were not used to eating hot food at all, they also felt extremely comfortable at this time.

After eating and cleaning up, everyone got together according to the small team of their respective tanks, chatting together, and spent a long night, Lei Rui wrapped the camp on the tank and tied it up, and the sage Bode patted the folding little horse next to him, and greeted Lei Rui: "Thunder! Sit here! ”

Big Ass Grady and Fat Gothrini were both laughing, and Sage Bode rolled his eyes, glanced at them, and asked, "What?!" Then he turned to Lei Rui and asked, "Ray! Are you religious? Do you believe in our Lord Jesus? ”

Lei Rui shook his head and replied, "I'm not religious!" ”

"Oh! That's a shame! Saint Bode said with pity, "Believe in my Lord Jesus and you will be fearless......

"Saint! Don't come to you, you know we don't believe in this! "Don. Collier sat comfortably in the fold-out seat with the backrest, a cigarette in his mouth, not the kind of road goods that came with his ration pack, but the box of cigarettes he had brought with him.

"I'm not asking you, I'm asking Ray! Don't interrupt, okay? Sage Bode said solemnly.
