Chapter 266: Military Tribunal (II)
In a wide meadow, a large group of men in-green uniforms marched quickly, then hid by a hedge at the edge of the meadow.
This is a roundabout outflanking training exercise conducted by Company E at Edebourne, with the second platoon marching towards the target following a frontal response route, while the first platoon will make a detour from a distance to outflank the target under the leadership of Captain Sauber. As for the third platoon, it was arranged by Lieutenant Wilson to conduct a theoretical class and did not participate in this training exercise.
"Sauber is late......" Lieutenant Winters gasped to Ensign Lipton as he looked at his watch. Second Lieutenant Lipton didn't say anything, just looked into the distance and said he had nothing to say, but that didn't mean that the others didn't have anything to say either.
"Isn't that to be expected? I began to worry about whether Luz and Paikanti would be taken directly to London by Sauber. Li Wei didn't know when he quietly came to the two of them, and after hearing Lieutenant Winters's words, he jokingly said.
"Lai, go back to your team. Lieutenant Winters said with a headache.
"Yes, sir. After shrugging his shoulders, Li Wei returned to the first shift he was in charge of.
"No need for you, it must be Sauber's lost guide who is late. After returning to the team, Gurnerey said to Li Wei.
"Aren't you talking nonsense!" Lai Wei gave Guerneri a roll of the eyes, and then quietly stayed in front of him to serve as a low-key beautiful statue.
On the other hand, the first platoon led by Captain Sauber was indeed forced to stop marching, because a fence appeared in front of them.
"Why is there a fence here? There shouldn't be a fence here!Tipper, map!" Captain Sauber looked at the fence in confusion.
After receiving the map from Tibo, Captain Sauber ordered the soldiers in the first platoon to take cover behind the bushes.
"Paikanti?" called Smitty to Paikanti.
"Yes?" Paikanti replied.
"Sauber is lost again, isn't he? Although he used the form of an inquiry, Smitty used an affirmative tone.
"Yes, he's lost again. Paikanti replied in the affirmative, and called to Luz in the rear.
"Can you imitate Major Horton's voice?" Paicon asked, and Luz answered Paikondy in the same tone as Major Horton.
"Maybe this good major can play a fool up on that guy over there, and then let's move on?" Paikon offered his idea.
"No...... The door is not ......" Although Luz refused so, it seemed from his expression that he was eager to try. At the instigation and persuasion of everyone, Luz finally agreed half-pushing, half-on-the-spot.
"Captain Sauber, what's the problem?" Just as Captain Sauber was proofreading the coordinates, a man's voice suddenly came from the bushes behind him.
"Who's talking, who's violating the order to be silent?" asked Captain Sauber angrily.
"I think that's Major Horton, sir. Tibo held back a smile and reminded Captain Sauber with a serious face. As a brother who has been training for more than a year, Tibo can naturally recognize who the owner of this voice is, but he did not debunk it, but came to assist.
"Major Horton, why is he here?, and is he also participating in training exercises?" asked Captain Sauber, stunned.
"Why did the troops stand still, Mr. Sober?!" Captain Sober panicked at 'Major Horton', and hurriedly answered the question of 'Officer'.
Of course, at the direction of 'Major Horton', Captain Sauber was given the order to move on, and ordered his troops to cut the fence with cord cutters.
Turning his gaze back to the side of the meadow, Lieutenant Winters kept looking at his watch, less than two minutes before the troops met, but Captain Sauber and the first platoon were still nowhere to be seen.
"We have to do something. Lieutenant Winters looked at his watch and finally made the decision to go it alone.
"Sir, aren't you waiting for Captain Sauber and the first platoon?" asked Second Lieutenant Lipton.
"This is a T-shaped intersection operation, which can be played freely, as long as there is enough firepower to block the four sides of the road, I will take the first squad to the right, the second squad to the left, and then the lieutenant will lead the third squad to break through from the center, and this arrangement can still intercept the target person. Without waiting for Lieutenant Winters to speak, Levy interjected into the conversation again.
"Lai's words are exactly what I want, do as he says. Although Lieutenant Winters was unhappy with Levie's repeated departures from the standby, his tactical instructions coincided with his own thoughts, and he addressed Second Lieutenant Lipton one by one.
Second Lieutenant Lipton did not reply, but only nodded in understanding, and then moved forward to where the third squad was.
"Lai, although you are very good at military command, but your discipline is ......" Lieutenant Winters was very optimistic about Li Wei, so he did not directly reprimand, but tactfully persuaded the latter.
"Sir, I personally advocate freedom, and my willingness to manage the first shift is just for the sake of your face. After Li Wei finished with a light smile, he returned to the first shift.
……
The exercise was successfully completed with the perfect cooperation of Lieutenant Winters and the second platoon, and Lieutenant Winters was verbally commended by Major Stryll and Colonel Zink.
Compared to Lieutenant Winters's treatment, Captain Sauber was scolded by Major Stryll. First of all, the leader was unable to guide the second platoon to flank the attack, then the destruction of residential facilities and the cattle raised by the residents were running around, and finally the false use of the name of the commander to cover up the mistake, according to Captain Sober, was severely scolded by Major Stryll in front of the command gate of the battalion headquarters.
Because the life of the garrison was very boring, in addition to foot drill training, there was only foot drill training, so Li Wei found a wooden board and a rattan basket, and then opened a hole under the rattan basket and directly played street basketball.
"Lai, give you a thumbs up!" After giving Li Wei a thumbs up, Lan Daoman began to call friends, and soon found Paikanti and Muk, and began to play a two-on-two battle. Lieutenant Winters and Lieutenant Nickerson...... Well, good buddies are chatting and watching this basketball game in the shade of a tree.
A jeep was coming towards them at an average speed, and they quickly dodged, and when they looked closely, it was Captain Sauber's herald, Evans. He brought a letter to Lieutenant Winters, and from the treatment that Captain Sauber had been dealing with recently, Levy felt that nine out of ten was not a good thing.
"Play for yourselves. After greeting the three of them, Li Wei walked over to Lieutenant Winters.
"Oh...... I already smell a bad smell......" Lieutenant Nickerson said.
"It's all the rhythm before the military court begins......" Li Wei added after seeing the above and the summons time.
Lieutenant Winters didn't say anything, just sighed, and tucked the summons letter into his trouser pocket.
Collect! Hit! Recommend!
Jiuli personally liked this clip, which completely set off Major Winters's improvisation and Captain Sauber's incompetence.
