Chapter 268: The Prologue Begins

Captain Sober was transferred!! which occurred on the morning of the third day after Company E handed over its rank badge en masse, when numerous soldiers of Company E discovered that Captain Sober had left the village of Edboone in a jeep.

Colonel Zinke chose a company between a company and a captain who was good at training, and for the sake of the morale of Company E, he transferred Captain Sauber to Chiltunfre.

On the same day that Captain Sauber was transferred, Company E welcomed a new company commander, Lieutenant Meehan, who had been transferred from Company B.

After the arrival of this senior lieutenant who was quite famous in the second battalion, perhaps in order to buy people's hearts and minds, or perhaps he really valued talent, he first abolished Lieutenant Winters's punishment and reinstated him to his original position, continued to serve as his deputy and assisted him in the management of E Company, and then used the right to be promoted in wartime to promote the demoted Lai Wei, Harris, and Ranny to the rank of corporal, and let them continue to manage the first to third platoons of E Company.

All in all, Company E did not suffer any losses after this incident, but also gained an excellent company commander and enhanced the comradeship between them.

After half a year of getting along and training exercises, Company E became more convinced of Lieutenant Meehan. Although the lieutenant would scold from time to time and be very strict with his subordinates, his excellent leadership ability and calm tactical command made E Company turn from a 'joke' to a 'myth' in the half-year exercise training, and won the victory in six exercises and training with the results of completely annihilating the enemy.

Taking advantage of the existing geographical advantages and the military formation that has been handed down in the East for thousands of years, plus the people up and down the E Company, the above deeds have happened.

……

By May 1944, Company E and other corps units had been transferred to the barracks of Yupoteri. There is only one word to describe this barracks, big!

A large number of green military tents stood on the open grass, and at a distance of fifty meters from the grass, a large number of C-47 aircraft were already parked on the runway.

Sergeant Harris left Company Still, he left the Army. Sergeant Harris is second in the family, along with an older brother who also served in the military. However, Sergeant Harris's brother was killed in Africa, and the military department repatriated Sergeant Harris on humanitarian grounds.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although I have left Company E, I am still a member of Company E! I will pray for you every day, and I hope that on the day the war is over, we will still be able to get together for a drink. This is the words that Sergeant Harris left behind when he left E Company, it sounds ordinary, but at this time, it is a luxury, because no one knows what will happen to him on the battlefield in the next second.

Sergeant Harris's non-commissioned officer vacancy did not appear until the day after Company E's arrival in Uppoteri, but the re-appointed Second Lieutenant Buck Compton had a decent approach to his communicative character, and it only took five days for the entire Company to agree with it.

"Hey, Paiti, look there!!" Leywee, who was chatting with the second row, heard Hubl clap Patrick next to him. The crowd looked in the direction Hubler was pointing, and saw a group of Germans, who were clearly not Germans, walking in their direction, a group of British soldiers dressed in the uniforms of senior Nazi officers.

"Don't worry, man, we're British!" said one of the well-known British soldiers to Hubler.

"Where did you find it?!" Hubler asked excitedly.

"Got it from the tailor's shop, of course. The British soldier smiled smirkantly at Hubrough's expectant look.

"Is that a Luger gun? I've always looked like a real Luger gun!" said Hubler, pointing to the British soldier's pouch. The latter seemed to have found a like-mindedness, and without saying a word, he directly took out the Luger gun, unloaded the magazine, and handed the Luger gun to Hubler.

"It's wonderful!" Hubler said enviously after taking the Ruger gun, rubbing it repeatedly, raising the gun to make an aiming motion.

"This is a high-class product!" said the British soldier triumphantly, but Hubler clearly did not understand the dialect of the other party.

"Look, Patty, this is the real Luger gun!" Hubler, who was overly excited, forgot that the owner of the Luger gun was still in front of him, and showed off the gun to others as if it were his own, which immediately caused the displeasure of the owner.

"Hey, man, don't get too far in your hand!" said the British soldier, frowning, displeased.

"Oh...... Sorry! Good luck!" Hubler was stunned for a moment, and handed the Luger gun back to his master, but his eyes did not leave the Luger gun, and he said reluctantly.

"You too, man. The British soldier took his Luger gun and politely replied.

……

An aircraft maintenance factory was converted into a temporary operations center for Company E, with four bulletin boards plastered with dense reconnaissance information, including aerial views, topographic photographs, road dunes, and the routes of various divisional troops.

Lieutenant Meehan stood on the high platform and explained to E Company the objectives of the battalion and the strategic objectives of E Company.

"The goal of the Airborne Forces is to capture the town of Carrington and thus connect the Utah and Omaha beaches together! Every paratrooper must keep the mission in mind and understand the details of the coordination between himself and the rest of the division!"

"Company E will land five days before the 4th Infantry Division lands on the Utah beachhead, and land behind the Atlantic Line ahead of schedule! Between the assembly area and the battalion target, there are German guards defending St. Melly's Hill, and Company E must quickly take this hill so that the Army on the Utah beachhead can be freed from German artillery fire. ”

"Sir, please speak!" Dukman raised his hand and stood up.

"!," replied Lieutenant Meehan.

"Sir, do we have no backups, or is this a coordinated operation with other companies?" Dukman asked, a hint of concern in his question.

"No! No backup, no coordinated operations! When you descend from the sky to land, your partners are only your weapons and yourself!" Lieutenant Meehan's answer made many people start to worry about their own lives, and there are two places when paratroopers are most vulnerable, one is when they parachute and land, and the other is when they land and touch the ground.

"Remember!E Company! You are a paratrooper unit, and you are born to be surrounded! If you are afraid now, surrender your paratrooper badge and apply to me for transfer, does anyone need to do that?" asked Lieutenant Meehan aloud.

"No, sir!" replied to the entire company immediately straightening up and loudly vetoing.
