Chapter 287: A mission belonging to Bloy
"Hey, buddy, are you all right?" E-companies were all slumped in their positions or trenches, and Li Wei was no exception. At this time, a soldier came over and asked with concern.
"Second Armored Division?" Li Wei asked, glancing at the regimental emblem on the other party's shoulder.
"Yes, sir!" replied the soldier, who had already noticed the rank on Li Wei's shoulder.
"You guys really came in time...... Li Wei's tone was a little mocking and sarcastic, the ridicule was given to D Company and F Company, and as expected, he was pulled back by these two companies;
"Sir?" the soldier didn't understand what Li Wei meant, and looked at Li Wei suspiciously.
"It's okay...... Soldiers, did the Germans completely retreat?"
"Yes, sir, and there were other paratroopers coming after the Germans. Hearing the soldier's answer, Li Wei could be sure that these paratroopers were certainly not from Company E, because all the men of Company E were just like him now, slumped on the grass to catch their breath or take a puff of cigarettes.
"It's really dogs and foxes...... 'simple' things are left to E-Lian, you dogs and foxes know how to pick up cheap and hide behind......" Li Wei said disdainfully. Dog and fox naturally refer to D Company and F Company, and the code name of E Company is simple.
The defensive line on the outskirts of Carrington was completely handed over to the 8th Division and the 2nd Panzer Division that came to support, and the 506th Regiment returned to Carrington for rest.
Company E, which was already facing a reduced number of personnel, was fortunate to avoid the problem of a large number of casualties in this defensive battle, and only four people were killed, namely Private Owen in the first platoon, Private Valente and Private Smitty in the second platoon, and Private Gray in the third platoon. However, it is not without good news, Berks, who will be slightly injured after the landing, has gradually improved, and at his own insistence, he asked the medical center to release the people and return to the second platoon to report for duty.
"Whew...... I just want to get a good night's sleep right now. Corporal Grant's first sentence when he returned to a warehouse in Carrington Town. This is the resting place of the second platoon, which is stationed here when on standby.
"As long as the German mortars don't hit our heads, it is theoretically possible to get you a good night's sleep. Webster Road.
"Then it's up to the people on the periphery to hold the line?" said Joe Toy, tilting his head and making a gesture from behind.
"After that incident in the morning, I had no faith in the guys out there. Corporal Goneri cursed, and the group of guys in his mouth naturally meant Company D and Company F.
"Anyway, our E Company has already entered the eyes of those supreme commanders, and we will definitely have a share of the dirty work in the future, so there is no difference between having them and not having them. Li Wei said comfortably lying on the haystack.
"No......" Joseph said with a look of consternation.
"Don't be so surprised...... Lai's guesses have always been accurate, so I trust Lai's instincts more than those intelligence officers at the battalion headquarters. Corporal Goneri said.
"Seconded. Joe Toy followed the example of Rievey, lying directly on the haystack and raising his right hand.
……
During the Battle of Carrington, Company E was praised by General Taylor for not fearing German artillery fire and still sticking to the defensive line, and at the same time directly ordered all Company E to be awarded the Medal of the Bronze Star and the Medal of Battle Valor of the Company.
Compared with the high praise of E Company, D Company and F Company, which retreated from the defensive line without authorization, were unsurprisingly scolded by Colonel Zink.
In addition to scolding the company commanders of D Company and F Company, Colonel Zinke also felt that in order to give each company under the battalion a better appearance, he felt that E Company should be given a big promotion of the whole company, and many people were promoted in military rank or awarded awards higher than the Bronze Star Medal.
Lieutenant Winters was promoted to the rank of captain and awarded a personal Silver Star Medal.
Second Lieutenant Lipton was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart, the latter of which was automatically awarded to an American soldier or officer when wounded on the battlefield, and was a bad-street medal in Leeway's opinion.
Lieutenant Wilson retained the same rank, but he was awarded the Cross of Merit to compensate for his inability to advance in rank. According to the rules, if any person in the company has a rank higher than or equal to the rank of company commander, that person can choose to be promoted but will be transferred to another company, or he or he will retain his original rank and serve in the original company. Major Stryll consulted Lieutenant Wilson for his personal opinion, who chose the second option.
Second Lieutenant William Lai was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and awarded the Order of the Silver Star. Originally, Le Wei could have been awarded the Cross of Distinguished Excellence, after all, he blew up the German Panther tank like Lieutenant Wilson, but under the so-called balance of some supreme commanders, the award of the medal to which Le Wei was entitled was reduced by one level.
Second Lieutenant Compton was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, Sergeant Martin, Sergeant Lenny and Sergeant Talbot were promoted to the rank of sergeant, and Company E had a total of seven corporals and Hubrough, Randolphin, Gurnere, Malachi, Grant, Pykandy and Halig were promoted to the rank of sergeant.
Rutz, Durkman, Siffordi, Joe Toy, Mook, Christensen and Rigort were promoted to the rank of corporal, as were the non-combatants who also received the rank of corporal. Most of the soldiers who came out of the Tacoya barracks were promoted to first class or technical non-commissioned officers because of their knowledge of German.
"I think our E Company is the only company that has more non-commissioned officer rank than soldiers. On the night of the celebration of the whole company of E-Company, Li Wei said with a smile.
"I also mentioned this to Zink, and when we return to England, there will be a new batch of recruits to be added to E Company. Captain Winters said.
"I just hope that these recruits have passed the test of Guò Sauber......" said Lieutenant Nickerson, oh, now Captain Nickerson.
"Oh...... This is more difficult, after all, we don't know where this black swan has been transferred. "Lai Wei Dao.
"What? does Li miss him?" said Captain Nickerson.
"Sauber should miss Dick more than me, after all, it was Dick who had him transferred to the rear training camp in the first place. Li Wei said with a frightened expression.
"Hahaha!!" Everyone immediately burst into laughter when they heard Li Wei's words, while Captain Winters, who was dragged into the water, was speechless.
……
Lai Wei's hunch was true, and indeed as he said, since the Battle of Carrington, E Company has become an elite unit in the eyes of the Supreme Commander, and most of the storming or reconnaissance work is entrusted to E Company.
On the fifth day after the Normandy landings, Company E was currently on standby 100 meters in front of an abandoned farmhouse, and they received an order to reconnoitre, and the target was this farmhouse.
"We have to know what's going on in the house...... So, who wants to be a member of the reconnaissance team?" asked Lieutenant Wilson in the grass, as he asked the soldiers behind him, but no one volunteered to step forward.
"I'm willing to ......," said Bloy as he raised his arm. At the same time, Li Wei also received a mission from Phoenix.
