Chapter 171: Leave Your Footprints

"How's the wine going yesterday?" Mu Yang stood at the front of the team and asked loudly.

The soldiers replied loudly: "Very good." ”

"Then give me a twelve-point spirit today, everyone must train strictly according to my requirements, whoever doesn't do it well, he will be directly punished for standing up, cleaning the toilet, and even fasting, if it is done well, you can add vegetables at night." Muyang said loudly.

"Yes, sir." A hundred people shouted at the same time.

In the ranks of soldiers, there was a very unusual group of people, yellow-skinned Asians, wearing British private uniforms and holding rifles, standing in the ranks stiffly.

"Claire, start training now."

Claire whistled and shouted, "All, fast forward, charge." ”

The soldiers all bent down as required before, their bodies at a 90-degree angle as much as possible, and rushed forward with a gun in one hand.

"Enemy machine-gun positions, creeping forward." Claire gave the order again.

The soldiers at the front of the line threw themselves straight forward, and then crawled forward with their hands and feet.

What is this, baby crawling.

There are also people who keep kicking their legs, but their bodies just don't move forward.

Some people directly get up, run forward with their hands and feet and pouting their buttocks, and the movement is not slow.

Mu Yang's face was full of black lines.

Assemble and explain the essentials of the action again.

"Creeping advance is a method of advancing by blocking a short section by enemy rifle and machine-gun position fire, or by taking advantage of relatively low obstacles. There are crawls with two hands and two feet, and there are also crawls with one hand and one foot, pay attention to the key points. Push on your elbows and waist, not pouting your butt and crawling forward. Do you want the machine gun to just smash your ass? Mu Yang reprimanded loudly.

"But company commander, why should we learn how to climb dogs? I think it's good to charge in a line with guns in the boot camp training, and it can also show the bravery of our British soldiers. One of the recruits retorted.

"Very good, you, stand up and tell me what your name is." Mu Yang pointed to the recruit who gave the suggestion and said.

"Company commander, my name is David." A young soldier with eyes and a very literati air stepped forward and replied.

David, this name reminded Mu Yang of an English allusion that the professor talked about in class. Or jokingly, according to British media statistics, the name Dawid, although not the most used name in the UK, is the name with the most accidents, known as the saddest male name in the UK.

The man named David was prone to cuts, punctures, burns, and even muscle twitches.

By the way, the saddest female name in Britain is Joanne, Joanne.

"Tell me. Do you have a mother, does your mother love you? ”

"Yes, my mother loves me very much."

"Then do you love her!"

"Of course, sir."

"If you die. Do you think he's going to be sad. ”

"I thought, yes, I think she's going to be very sad." The soldier bowed his head.

Muyang raised his head. He said to all the soldiers, "Even if you lie on your stomach like dogs." It is a hundred times better than you walking forward with your head held high and then being shot down with a shotgun like a wild duck by a hunter. ”

"I'll teach you now. It's the skill of survival, but also the skill of fighting. ”

"Whether it's the humble pain of victory, or the haughty joy of death, I don't think you're fools, you should know how to choose."

"Now everyone, keep training."

Muyang called Claire and asked him to watch the guys rolling in the mud pond and crawling forward, and returned to the trench by himself.

Today was Calvin's second platoon on duty, but Mu Yang didn't let these guys sit in the trench to play cards and chat, but assigned them the task of digging anti-artillery holes.

In this way, the soldiers on duty stayed to dig anti-artillery holes, and those who were not on duty were directly pulled to the ground to practice charging, and as for other tactical movements, there was no time to practice for the time being.

Time passed day by day, Muyang was stepping up his time to dig holes and train, waiting for the big war to come. And the letters sent by Muyang have attracted the attention of the military's top brass.

Ferdinand. Marshal Foch, Douglas. Marshal Haig is a veteran general, and after a little analysis of the content of Muyang's letter, he feels that it is very meaningful, although it is only some very simple changes, but it should play a very big role in the battle.

Just after the staff officers made an analysis, the next day they ordered the whole army to start digging anti-artillery holes and training to crawl forward. The name Williams is well known, of course, mainly to the officers in the army.

The Europeans of this era are arrogant, and they look down on Asians from the bottom of their hearts, or they look down on people of color, and these marshals only know that Joseph is a person, and he once mentioned the improvement of labor treatments, as for what they really ordered to change, it is better not to be delusional.

"Brothers, all line up, don't mess around, Bird, if you kid is running around, believe it or not, I'll just kick your ass."

Hearing Claire's words, everyone laughed.

In front of everyone, there was an old-fashioned wooden-framed camera, which Muyang had invited to take pictures of all the soldiers of the company.

The big war is imminent, even if they are fully prepared, there is no guarantee of death on the battlefield, Muyang doesn't want them to have been here, but they haven't left any footprints, no matter what happens in the future, the people in this photo will be recorded, and may even be put in the memorial hall for people to admire.

More than 100 people crowded together, squatting or standing, and the photographer was still directing behind the wooden frame camera, the scene was a little chaotic, but Muyang felt very warm, after all, they had been together for more than ten days, and they also had some feelings.

"All pay attention to take a photo, all look at my hands, I don't put down my hands and don't blink." The photographer quickly removed the camera cover, and the crowd began to hold their breath and not dare to come out.

At this time, the camera is the kind of camera that opens the lens cap and the film is automatically exposed, and it takes about 10 seconds for the automatic exposure to be completed.

After a while, I heard the photographer say, "Okay." ”

Only then did everyone relax, and someone said, "But I can't breathe when I suffocate me." ”

"Me too."

"You stupid people, gasping doesn't matter, you just need to keep your eyes open."

"I even took pictures, and I don't know what it looks like," said a Chinese worker.

The boys laughed and joked, and each went back to his position.

At 4:50 a.m. on July 15, 1918, the Germans began their offensive.

"Boom, boom, boom", there was a rumbling cannon sound in the distance.

Even if the second line of defense was several kilometers away from the first line, the deafening sound of dense shell explosions could be clearly heard in the distance from the trenches.

The Great War has finally begun. (To be continued......)
