"You should also be able to feel that there is a big battle going on, and we, we have to do our job, and as for the rest, don't think too much. Now who will tell me about the soldiers? Muyang said.

Claire looked at the others and was the first to speak, "Our company has 152 men, but now there are only 124 soldiers. There were 106 veterans and 18 new recruits, all of whom had never fought before. ”

Claire's words reminded Mu Yang of the immature faces he saw on the way here, as well as the little guy who had his thigh blown off by a German plane.

"The mood of the soldiers is not high, we have been in the fortifications for a month, we have been fighting, guarding, everyone is very tired, some soldiers are highly nervous, the mood is very irritable and irritable." Calvin. Wright also said.

Muyang thought for a while, and then said, "I understand, I'll find a way." ”

Then the four of them talked about some other things, this time it was basically a meeting, Muyang left Claire and let the others leave.

"Claire, you help me run to the division headquarters and give it to Alan from the logistics department. A letter was sent by Colonel Swift, who was the chief officer of the divisional logistics department. I will write the content clearly in the letter, I ask him to help us get the supplies back, you have to give him the letter in person, he will give you a reply. ”

"Also, tell Colonel Allen that I can't be separated because I just came to the army, and next time I have the chance, I will visit him in person." Muyang said, handing Claire a letter that had just been written.

"Sir, do you know the commander in chief of the logistics department of the division headquarters?" Claire was surprised, he was with Muyang, or with Joseph. Williams had known each other for a long time, and had never heard of him knowing any Colonel Ait.

"Yes. We are good friends, you go, try to get back today, and then tomorrow we will go to the regimental headquarters and look for that Major Eugene to get back the supplies that belong to us. Muyang said.

Claire's face was full of joy, and she was able to solve the problem of supplies in this way. Naturally, he was highly motivated, and quickly took the letter and left.

Mu Yang put on his belt and shoulder bag, put on his military hat, called his own communication soldier, and he was ready to start inspecting the defense area of the entire company. If you don't even know your own soldiers and positions, how can you lead them to fight, how can you lead them to live, and how can you complete your tasks.

"Hello company commander."

"Hello sir."

Muyang walked through the trenches. Seeing the soldiers gathered in groups of three or five, some chatting and playing cards, some shaving in front of the mirror to tidy up their personal hygiene, the soldiers saw Muyang coming, and they got up and saluted and said hello.

The soldiers here have people who Mu Yang knows, and there are also fresh faces, and there are only a few people who can name them, and they are basically the squad leaders of each squad. Muyang nodded. He didn't show too close, after all, he still had to maintain the majesty of a commander.

Mu Yang said to the soldier who was gambling with cigarettes just now. "Knight, keep an eye on these guys, don't let them fight for a few cigarettes."

Everyone laughed.

Sergeant Knight was a squad leader, he was a veteran of Muyang's company, and he was also familiar with Muyang, so he said, "Sir." There are not many cigarettes, they are not enough to smoke, and I heard from the platoon commander that the quartermaster deducted our cigarettes again, so how can we survive this month. ”

"Yes, company commander. Tell the quartermaster that even if the wine stops, give us more cigarettes. Another veteran said.

"Erik, don't talk nonsense, if you cut down on the wine, I'll drink your share." A soldier who loved to drink quit and scolded the old soldier who was talking.

"Okay, I'll take care of that, cigarettes and alcohol will be available, but you guys must give me some peace, and anyone who violates discipline will be punished." Muyang said loudly.

The soldiers shouted in unison.

What kind of commander will be loved by the soldiers, some will charge ahead with their own efforts, some will lead the soldiers to eat and live with their sons, and even those who will not hesitate to suck pus and wash their stinky feet for the soldiers, but a commander who can bring benefits to the soldiers definitely belongs to one of the categories of good commanders who are loved by the soldiers, and it is still a relatively high one.

Continue walking along the trenches, talking to the soldiers in the trenches and learning about their situation. The trench that was defended by the company was about 130 meters long, and if you spread out all the soldiers, you would basically have to defend it one meter wide, which is not a very rich number.

Walking all the way forward, when he reached the end of the defense area, Muyang saw another fortification.

Walking into the fortifications, Mu Yang saw someone sleeping on the bed, someone reading with a book, and someone lying on the side of the bed writing a letter.

Mu Yang leaned behind the soldier who was writing a letter on his stomach near the door, and saw that his letter was written: "Mom, Kerry and I have been assigned to a company, we can eat here, don't worry, we live in a large room, one room can accommodate 60 people, Kerry lives in my upper bunk, when I write the letter, he is sleeping, you can help him and Aunt Ariv to say, Kerry can eat and sleep, everything is fine."

Sometimes, we will hear artillery in the distance, but the Germans are still dozens of miles away from us, and there is still a line of defense in front, I think it will not be able to fight for a while and a half, don't worry.

I miss my sister Avri a little, I've been out for two months, I don't know if she will miss me, Mom, please take me to tell Avri, just say that when I go back, I will definitely bring her some candy, her favorite candy, and maybe the chocolate of her dreams. ”

The letter has not yet been written, but Mu Yang's mood is a little heavy, every soldier represents a family, and this war is how many families have been torn apart, how many parents have lost their children, and how many relatives have been separated from each other.

"Hello sir." A soldier who walked in from outside saw Mu Yang standing not far from the door, and hurriedly saluted loudly.

Hearing this, all the people in the fortifications looked over, and then the soldiers all got out of bed and stood in place and saluted.

"Okay, relax, I'm just coming over and have a look." Mu Yang returned a military salute, and then said in a very casual tone.

Mu Yang looked at the straight young soldier standing in front of him, and said, "Write to your family again, are you a recruit who has just been assigned?" ”

"Yes, sir, I'm writing to my family, and I only joined the company on June 27." The soldier saluted again.

"Alright private, don't be so nervous, let's talk casually."

"Yes sir."

"How old are you?"

"16-year-old sir."

Muyang sighed in his heart, even a 16-year-old child was sent to the front line. And in the army, a soldier who is 18 years old and has participated in one or two battles is already considered a veteran.

"Did you miss your mother?"

The soldier did not answer the question, but lowered his head and did not raise it for a long time. (To be continued......)
