Chapter 290: The Eve of Operation Market Garden
"Corporal, what should we do? Should we go to the rescue of the central position?"
Just three minutes earlier, all three positions of the third platoon had been attacked, with the central position facing the heavy fire of the second platoon.
The left flank of the third platoon originally planned to ambush and flank the attacking troops of the second platoon, but they did not expect that they were also pinned down by the two detachments because of the division of troops, and they could not merge and flank the attack, and they could not even divide the manpower to return to the central position.
As for the right wing...... Originally, they had the opportunity to return to the central position, but Corporal Pikak's order to 'follow the instructions' made them miss the best opportunity to return to the central position, until the central position was outcircled by Sergeant Lenny and Li Wei from the front and back and completely captured all the non-commissioned officers and lieutenants, and Corporal Pikak was still there chanting 'why do you still get scolded for following instructions' and so on.
Captain Winters shook his head and sighed when he saw Corporal Pikak's cousin.
"Dick, what's wrong?" asked Leeway, who had taken the third platoon in all directions, curiously after seeing Captain Winters' actions.
"Nothing......" replied Captain Winters.
Rievey didn't take Captain Winters' answer as one thing, everyone has their own secrets, does he?
β¦β¦
After several rounds of training, the recruits finally reluctantly integrated into E Company, at least the gap between the two factions was eliminated.
In the cafeteria, Smokey, who was injured during training, was telling the story of the grievances between Sergeant Talbot and Smith...... Well, it should be the accidental injury incident during the Carrington defensive war, which is the 'bayonet night' that even E-Lian will recite in his mouth today.
"Tower, this is a medal for you!" Smokey finished speaking, taking off the Purple Heart Medal on his chest and facing Sergeant Talbot.
"Yay~~~!! Smokey, you are the most handsome !!" The soldiers of the E Company shouted one after another.
On the other hand, while everyone was reveling in the story of 'Night of the Bayonets,' the three lieutenants and platoon commanders Wilson, Leeway, and Compton, as well as Lieutenant Lipton, the first noncommissioned officer, were called aside by Captain Nickerson.
"Nick, it doesn't feel like a good thing to see you look so serious and strict. Li Wei shook his head.
"Bad news indeed...... We're going to go out. Transferred directly to France on standby, so let the brothers pack all the salute gear, we won't be back here. Captain Nickerson said.
"Nick, isn't it going to be another big task for us?" asked Levy.
"I can only keep it secret...... I left first, remember to inform everyone. Captain Nickerson left the cafeteria as soon as he finished, and he had to go back to the battalion headquarters to prepare his outfit.
"This kind of difficult task is not for me...... So, don't count my share. Li Wei said first.
"I think it's up to our First Master Chief to make this important announcement. Lieutenant Wilson immediately picked up Leyway's words.
"Personally, I think it's a pretty good build. Lieutenant Compton quickly made up for the fatal blow.
"Alright...... You really are ......" Lieutenant Lipton shook his head and smiled wryly as he took on the thankless errand.
"Guys, I have something to announce, listen! First of all, tonight's scheduled training program will be cancelled......" said Lieutenant Lipton as he walked to the center and opened his mouth to keep everyone's attention here.
"Oh~~~ yes!! this is the best news!" Hearing Lieutenant Lipton's announcement, everyone cheered.
"Second, all vacations have been canceled......" Hearing the second announcement, the atmosphere in the original cheers was stagnant, and many of the veterans had already guessed the next announcement, and their faces suddenly became a lot more solemn.
"Finally...... We're heading to France, so pack your bags and we'll not be coming back to the UK. β
"If you haven't made your will yet, go to the supply office and fill it out......"
"The truck to Monberry will depart at 0700 tomorrow morning...... Let's go ahead, everybody. Lieutenant Lipton took a deep breath after finishing the most important news in one breath, and then left the cafeteria directly.
"Damn Hitler!!" Sergeant Guerneri suddenly cursed in the silence of the cafeteria.
No one responded to Sergeant Goneri, but this sentence scolded the veterans, except for the still enthusiastic recruits. Although after entering the army, I met a group of brothers who were not brothers but had a deep brotherly relationship, but if it were not for the outbreak of this war involving the whole world, perhaps everyone here would have been able to spend peacefully with their families in their hometowns.
β¦β¦
It was September 1944, and the place was still a tavern set up in the Edboone barracks, where there were no beautiful women to accompany them, only enjoying a rare vacation.
Before the target, Lieutenant Compton and Hefflang are engaged in a friendly game of darts, and the winner is rewarded with a glass of beer. From Sergeant Guerneri, Lai Wei learned that Heflang and he were actually fellow villagers just one street away. With Sergeant Guerneri as an intermediary, Miller and Herscher, who were often with Heflang, quickly broke into the veterans' team.
"Oh~~~ Private, you've made our Buck look ugly. Li Wei quipped. On target, Hefflang accurately hit his own target and won directly to Lieutenant Compton.
"You're not having a good time tonight...... Buck, I'm starting to worry about my two packs of cigarettes. Corporal Lutz said to Lieutenant Compton. The two men formed a team and made a bet with Heflon and Corporal Chotoi about two packs of cigarettes, which was a pastime for pleasure.
"Why don't we reduce it to one pack?" said Hefrant, with the meaning of selling well, after all, it was a lieutenant who bet with him.
"No need...... Maintain two packs so that I can stress out. Lieutenant Compton exhaled a breath of turbid air and was about to throw a dart when Corporal Rutz suddenly said this.
"Lieutenant, aren't you going to shoot with your left hand? I trust your right hand more than it. β
"Oh~~~ What if I don't have George Lutz?!" Lieutenant Compton immediately changed the dart to his right hand, and then quickly threw the dart, and the first throw hit the heart directly!
"Hehehe...... You've all fallen for the tricks of these two liars, and Buck is a master of darts. Sergeant Martin laughed.
"Hehehe...... I'm not a master! I'm a master! Li, let's show us!" Lieutenant Compton smiled and pointed at Li Wei, and the others also heckled when they heard his words.
Li Wei's dart skills have become a pass in E Company, and even a two-handed dart hit the heart at the same time.
Levy smiled and didn't answer, and Sergeant Randolphin had already handed him two darts.
"For you, sir. β
"Thank you, Sergeant. β
"Suddenly, suddenly!" I saw that Li Wei didn't make any aim, his hands were thrown forward at will, and the two darts hit the heart directly!
"Papapa!! "Whether it is a veteran who has seen it once or a new recruit, they all applauded in admiration, and the recruits also looked at Li Wei with awe.
Collect! Hit! Recommend!
