"You should also be able to feel that a big battle is about to happen, and we must do our own work well. As for the rest, don't think too much. Who will tell me about the situation of the soldiers?" Mu Yang said.

Claire looked at the others and was the first to speak, "Our company has 152 people, but now there are only 124 soldiers. There are 106 veterans and 18 new recruits. The new recruits are all little guys who have not participated in the battle."

Claire's words reminded Mu Yang of the tender faces he saw on the way he came, and the little guy whose thighs were blown off by a German plane.

"The soldiers are not in high spirits. We have been in the fortification for a month, and we are constantly fighting and alerting. Everyone is very tired. Some soldiers are very nervous and very irritable." Calvin Wright also said.

Mu Yang thought for a while, then said, "I understand, I will find a way."

Then the four of them talked about other things. This time it was basically a meeting. Mu Yang left Claire and let the others leave.

"Claire, please help me to the division headquarters and send a letter to Colonel Allen Swift of the Logistics Department. Colonel Ait is the head of the logistics department of the division headquarters. I will write the content clearly in the letter. I will ask him to help us get the supplies back. If you have to give him the letter in person, he will give you a reply."

"Also, tell Colonel Allen that I have just arrived in the army, so I have difficulty getting together. Next time I have the chance, I will visit him in person." Mu Yang said, handing over a letter I just wrote to Claire.

"Sir, do you know the head of the division logistics department?" Claire was surprised. He had known Mu Yang, or Joseph Williams for a long time, and had never heard of him knowing Colonel Ait.

"Yes, we are good friends. You go and try to rush back today, and then we will go to the regiment headquarters tomorrow. Find Major Eugene to get back our supplies." Mu Yang said.

Claire was full of joy. He was naturally very motivated to solve the material problems in this way, so he quickly left with the letter.

Mu Yang put on a belt and shoulder bag, put on a military cap, and called his communications soldier. He was about to start inspecting the entire defense zone of the first company. The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy" is that if you don't even know your own soldiers and positions, how can you lead them to fight? How can you lead them to survive and how can you complete the task?

"Hello company commander."

"Hello, sir."

Mu Yang walked through the trenches and saw soldiers gathering in groups of three or five, some chatting and playing cards, and some shaving in front of the mirror to tidy up personal hygiene. When the soldiers saw Mu Yang coming, they stood up and saluted and greeted.

The soldiers here are known to Mu Yang and have fresh faces. There are only a few people who can name them, and they are basically the squad leaders of each squad. Mu Yang nodded and showed no closeness. 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, be optimistic about these guys, don't let them fight for a few cigarettes."

Everyone laughed.

Sergeant Knight is a squad leader. He is a veteran in Muyang Company and is also very familiar with Muyang. At this time, he spoke: "Sir, there are not many cigarettes anymore, and there is not enough smoke. I heard from the platoon leader that the quarantine commander deducted our cigarettes again, so how can we get through this month?"

"Yes, company commander, let's talk to the qualifier. Even if the wine stops, I'll give us more cigarettes." Another veteran said.

"Eric, don't talk nonsense. If you reduce the amount of alcohol, I will drink your portion." A soldier who loves to drink stopped and cursed at the talker.

"Okay. I will solve these, there will be cigarettes and alcohol, but you guys must be more at ease. Anyone who violates discipline will be punished." Mu Yang said loudly.

The soldiers agreed in unison.

What kind of commander will be loved by soldiers? Some are those who charge forward, some lead soldiers like children to eat and live with each other, and even those who suck pus and wash their feet for the sake of soldiers. However, a commander who can bring benefits to soldiers is definitely one of the categories of good commanders that soldiers love, and it is still the one who is more advanced.

Keep walking along the trench, constantly chatting with the soldiers in the trench to understand their situation. The trench that was defending in a row is about 130 meters long. If all the soldiers are spread out, one person must guard one meter wide. You must know that this is not a very wealthy number.

When he walked forward and reached the end of the defense zone, Mu Yang 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 bed to write a letter.

Mu Yang approached the soldier who was lying down at the door and saw his letter writing, "Mom, Kerry and I were assigned a company, where we can have a full meal. Don't worry, we live in a large room, and 60 people can live in one room, Kerry lives in my upper bunk. When I was writing, he was sleeping. You can tell him to Aunt Elif that Kerry can eat and sleep, everything is fine.

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

I miss my sister Evli a little. I have been out for two months. I wonder if she will miss me, mom, please tell Evli, and said that when I go back, I must bring her some candies, her favorite candies, and perhaps the chocolate she dreams of."

The letter has not been finished, but Mu Yang’s mood is a bit heavy. Every soldier represents a family. However, this war has broken up many families, made many parents lose their children, and made many relatives separate from each other.

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

Hearing this voice, everyone in the fortification looked over, and then all the soldiers got out of bed and stood there to salute.

"Okay, relax, I'll just come and take a look." Mu Yang replied with a military salute and said in a very casual tone.

Mu Yang looked at the straight young soldier standing in front of him and said, "Write another letter to his family. Are you the newly assigned recruit?"

"Yes, sir, I'm writing a letter to my family. I only entered the first company on June 27." The soldier saluted again.

"Okay, Private, don't be so nervous, let's talk casually."

"Okay sir."

"How old are you this year?"

"16-year-old sir."

Mu Yang sighed in his heart that even the 16-year-old child was sent to the front line. In the army, soldiers who had participated in one or two battles were already considered veterans.

"Do you miss your mom?"
