Spears' office.

"Compton has been promoted to captain, Colonel Zinke issued it last night," Spears put a promotion order in front of Zheng Yingqi's eyes, and then took out a stack of certificates: "This is issued by the battalion headquarters, and many people, including Compton, can leave this war." ”

This is the retirement book - Compton, Arleigh, and many crippled soldiers, for whom this war, is over.

Zheng Yingqi silently looked at the stack of certificates, with mixed feelings.

After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Sir, are you looking for me to talk about this?" ”

Spears shook his head and whispered, "I mean to say," he looked at Zheng Yingqi, and then organized the language before saying: "For many people, the war is over, but for you and me, the war is still going on, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Zheng Yingqi looked at Spears and was silent.

"For us, this war is far from over, even if it is over, I still have Dick and them, and I don't want the soldiers to be brought out of this war," Spears looked at Zheng Yingqi and said with a complicated expression:

"I don't want the person I think of as long as there is a difficulty in the war, and I will never be able to get out of the war."

"I'm going to find a way to get you a month's vacation, the vacation you deserve."

Zheng Yingqi looked at Spears and said after a long time, "I'm fine." ”

"I know," Spears pretended not to hear that this was Zheng Yingqi's stubbornness, and he said, "But a person can't always be in a state of tension, you haven't had a good rest since D-Day, I think you need this vacation - Lieutenant Jones has been transferred back to the regimental headquarters as a staff officer, do you understand?" ”

"Huh?"

Zheng Yingqi looked at Spears puzzled, Second Lieutenant Jones was an officer who went to E Company not long ago, he has been in the company headquarters, and he is a graduate of the famous West Point Military Academy, but he was promoted and then transferred to the regiment headquarters as a staff officer, what does it have to do with him?

"The war is coming to an end, and West Point graduates are going to serve in the military in peacetime, so they're going to be protected, understand?" Spears didn't look like an officer at all when he said this, but it was very heartwarming, and he continued: "You are the same, you have a very good ability to fight alone, and after the war, a good person like you should still stay in the American army and serve in the army, I don't want you to leave here because of your mental state, understand?" That would be a loss for the US Army! ”

Zheng Yingqi couldn't help but laugh, and the dark emotions that shrouded him were wiped out when he laughed.

"I'm fine, very good." After regaining his composure, Zheng Yingqi said: "I will be fine, you are right, the war is almost over, since it is almost over, let me persevere - I am still waiting for Mr. President to award the medal of our Congress." ”

"Okay," Spears shook his head helplessly: "Then let Webster take your place for the time being, how calm and calm you are." ”

"Yes." Zheng Yingqi shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

……

In the past few days, the Germans on the other side of the river have been unusually honest, except for throwing flares into the sky at night, they have not dared to make the slightest provocation, such a calm appearance can be regarded as a model for the battlefield - but on the fourth day, the Germans suddenly came to the confidence and began to "provoke" again.

The so-called provocation is to send snipers to hide around and attack paratroopers.

Cobb in the 2nd row and Wiseman in the 1st row were hit!

The two of them found a place where the wine was hidden, and quietly took out several bottles and enjoyed them alone, because the Germans are too honest these days, and these two bastards grasped it when they let go of themselves, and accidentally flew too far, resulting in direct drunkenness.

The two drunken paratroopers swaggered out of the place where they were drinking, and then swaggered on the battlefield, which was very interesting to say, and gave the wine to the others, inviting everyone to get drunk with them.

As a result, a bottle of wine was delivered, and Cobb's shoulder was pierced by a bullet, and Wiseman dragged Cobb into the trench, but was shot in the knee by the Germans immediately after, but fortunately, he desperately dragged Cobb back and did not appear to be killed.

But it didn't end like that, when Webster and the new platoon commander of the 2nd platoon, Lieutenant Welfare, came to pick up the people, the conflict broke out!

"It's Webster, you little white face," Wiseman looked at Webster drunkenly, struggled to stand up, but because of the injury, he couldn't stand on his foot, and fell to the ground again, he pushed away his comrades who were helping him in disgust, and said with a big tongue: "What, are you here to clean me up?" Come on, clean me up! ”

Webster knew that because he suddenly "kicked" Zheng Yingqi's platoon commander, he was now cold-eyed in the 1st platoon, so he didn't get angry, but just beckoned a few other people to take this guy away for treatment, but Cobb on the side directly fought with a sergeant - the other party was on the order of Lieutenant Welfare and wanted to take Cobb away, but Cobb fought with Lieutenant Martin in a few words.

The two newly appointed platoon commanders suffered a thorn in the head together!

"I'm not going! I don't want to treat my injuries, let me die," Wiseman was still chattering: "Even the platoon commander has been changed, this is to get a platoon to die, since you want to die, what else can you save?" ”

Webster's face finally darkened, and he said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Take! ”

Wiseman was subdued by several fighters in the first platoon, and was directly carried back in Webster's iron blue face, but the second platoon was happy, Sergeant Martin was kicked by Cobb, who was injured in the shoulder, and the angry sergeant directly took out his pistol and pointed it at Cobb.

In the face of such a threat, the drunken Cobb not only did not fear, but pointed to his heart and shouted: "Hit here, hit a little, don't miss, if you don't hit you, you will be a German miscellaneous!" ”

"Enough!" Although Lieutenant Welfare was angry, he still did not want to see his own people kill each other, and after retiring Martin, he began to teach Cobb a lesson, but Cobb ate the dog's gall and talked nonsense.

What the hell are you secretly plotting Lieutenant Compton and the like, bullshit came out of his mouth one by one, and finally he made a personal attack: "I can see it, E Company is going to be finished!" E-Company will be finished in the hands of idiots like you! ”

Welfare was so angry that he tied up Cobb and said angrily, "I'm going to take him to court-martial!" I'm going to take him to court-martial! ”

This soon spread throughout E Company, and the atmosphere of the entire E Company became subtle.

……

After the Germans fired two shots provocatively, Zheng Yingqi dragged Henry to the battlefield, and an hour later, several gunshots extinguished the fire of the Germans' "provocation".

"Jacob," Webster said angrily, "I'm going to take Wiseman to court-martial!" ”

"It should."

"He deserves to be court-martialed! He deserves to be in jail! Webster repeated.

"Yes, you're right."

The soft two words of promise made Webster feel like a punch on the cotton, he sat next to Zheng Yingqi and said, "Jacob, you know, it's not me who squeezed you away!" In fact, the purpose of his coming to Zheng Yingqi was actually to ask Zheng Yingqi to intercede with Wiseman, and he would be able to make this matter a big deal by pushing the boat down the river.

But Zheng Yingqi's answer seemed to be full of resentment - Webster was a little panicked, if Zheng Yingqi had an opinion on him, could he still be a platoon leader in a platoon?

"You know, I don't like to be an officer, otherwise I ......" Zheng Yingqi said with a smile: "I would have changed my rank a long time ago." "Love 999

Webster nodded sympathetically, then shifted back to the topic, saying, "Jacob, I'm embarrassed that Wiseman is doing this, you should know. Welfare is now reporting to the regiment headquarters, he wants to punish Cobb severely, what do you say I should do? What am I going to do? ”

Zheng Yingqi was a little sympathetic to Webster, this unlucky guy took over his position as acting platoon commander, it seemed to be lucky, but in fact it was unlucky and unlucky, and the welfare was also like this, in normal times, they had enough time to build up their prestige among their subordinates, but now?

Company E is equivalent to staying on the front line for two months, and there are countless hard battles in it, and too many people have died, just like Wiseman, the paratrooper who had the best relationship with him in the training camp has either died or been in the hospital since the beginning of D-Day.

Webster actually understands Wiseman's situation very well, and it is precisely because of this that he is embarrassed, and dealing with Wiseman is easy to cause antagonism among veterans - there is only a few veterans in the 1st platoon, if this loses the hearts of veterans, how can he lead the team?

If you don't deal with it, how can he, the platoon commander, still be?

"Let's talk to Welfare, Cobb and Wiseman should deal with it, but try not to send it to court-martial, just deal with it internally." Zheng Yingqi made a move.

Why does the army protect the short? It's because the officers know a truth very well, those soldiers are going to be brought to fight, and if you don't protect your shortcomings, how can the soldiers treat you as a commander? How is it possible to carry out orders unconditionally?

To put it bluntly, if Welfare and Webster send the two to court-martials today, then their prestige in the army will be broken!

"Internal processing?" Webster was a little puzzled.

"Whether it's confinement, punishment for being thrown on the front line, or even beating them up, it's a punishment that will not only preserve your prestige, but also convince your subordinates - of course, this is just my advice."

In terms of playing power, the vast majority of Americans are grandsons - but they are not stupid, just like Webster, after Zheng Yingqi said this, he also understood in his heart, and sincerely thanked Zheng Yingqi.

He hurriedly went to find Welfare, trying to share the methods he learned from Zheng Yingqi, but he went late, and the angry Lieutenant Welfare had already quickly finished writing the report, and went directly to the regiment headquarters with the report, in the words of the veteran of the 2nd platoon:

"He said he would personally hand over the report to Colonel Zinke."

"This idiot !!" Webster cursed angrily.

……

It is said that Colonel Zink, after receiving the reaction of Lieutenant Welfare, said to Lieutenant Colonel Welfare meaningfully: "You should have shot him at that time!" ”

Then, Cobb, who had just woken up from drunkenness, was taken directly by the regimental people, who also wanted to take Wiseman, but were stopped by Webster, who said:

"We've already punished him! He doesn't need to go to a court-martial! ”

"This is the Colonel's order, and the Colonel orders us to take both of them and send them to a court-martial!"

Spears, who heard the news, said with a gloomy face: "I will pass on the report of punishing Wiseman to the regimental headquarters through Major Winters, we have already punished him, and he doesn't need to be court-martialed now, understand?" ”

"Okay." The regimental headquarters shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then cast a look at Lieutenant Welfare on the side.

"I'm ......" Wiseman froze in place, speechless for a long time.

"You give me his handling report." Spears said a cold word to Webster, and then left the temporary detention place without looking back, and from the time he came to leave, his eyes never lingered on Lieutenant Welfare's body for a second.

Wiseman was finally cleaned up by Webster, very miserable, but he never resented Webster, and the rest of the first platoon also respected Webster and treated him as a platoon leader, but the 2nd platoon was not, since the regimental headquarters took Cobb away, the atmosphere of the entire 2nd platoon was extremely weird.

No one dared to disobey Lieutenant Welfare, and every order of Welfare soldiers would carry it out without hesitation, but everyone in the 2nd platoon never executed an order perfectly, and every time it was a variety of discounts.

And the most incredible thing is that in a reconnaissance operation carried out by the Germans as if retaliating, all the people of the 2nd platoon and the German reconnaissance detachment almost collapsed at the touch of a button - which is simply unimaginable in the short but glorious history of E Company.

The most speechless thing is that the position of the 2nd platoon, which was frightened and defeated by the German reconnaissance detachment, was easily recaptured by the four paratroopers in the platoon, which was no longer a slap in the face, but a 40-meter knife to cut off the face!

Webster sighed: "The benefits are over......"

While he sighed, he was extremely grateful to Zheng Yingqi not far away, if it wasn't for Zheng Yingqi teaching him, or if he made such a mistake like Welfare.

"You say, how dare those guys in the 2nd platoon do this?" Webster was extremely puzzled and asked Zheng Yingqi for advice, he thought that the second row was at most yin and yang, but he didn't expect those guys to do such a thing! "How can you do that!"

"If the people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be able to take them," Zheng Yingqi glanced at the 2nd platoon of paratroopers sitting numbly like a group of defeated soldiers in the distance, and said softly: "What's more, this is no longer simply because people's hearts are scattered, rabbits and foxes are sad and sad, and no one wants their commander to be so harsh." ”

For a soldier, after being sentenced to a military court, it is equivalent to blood in vain, and the battle is in vain, although Cobb is asking for his own hardships, but there is an example of Wiseman, welfare can not leave a good impression on his subordinates, and they still need to fight, who wants to follow such a commander in the war?

You must know that the paratroopers of Company E almost mutinied and forced Sobel away, and some people even decided to go to the battlefield to shoot Sobel with black guns!

The problem of the 2nd platoon was quickly taken seriously by the battalion headquarters, after all, the escape of the 2nd platoon without a fight was unique in the history of E Company, almost equivalent to Winters, who created E Company, and of course understood what the problem was.

"I'll transfer the benefits to the battalion headquarters, who do you think is suitable for the 2nd platoon?" Winters asked Spears.

Without hesitation, Spears said, "Jacob." ”

"You just removed his platoon commander...... Now let him go to the 2nd platoon to be the platoon leader, isn't it? ”

"He's a lot better, and besides, we're going to be back in reserve tomorrow, so I think we'll have plenty of time for Jacob to recover."

"Well, as you wish."

……

The next day, the change in the platoon commander of the 2nd platoon and the news that the whole face had withdrawn and returned to the reserve team reached the 2nd platoon.

"Great!"

"Germans, we're going to change our guards, do you dare to take advantage of our change of guards to have a wave of attacks? Do you dare! ”

Everyone in the 2nd platoon was howling, and someone even shouted at the Germans on the opposite side, and of course the Germans did not respond - they really wanted this unit in front of them to go back!

Lieutenant Welfare was packing up his things with an ugly face, no one came to help him, and no one said a word to him, the former platoon commander, and the cheers outside were more like cheering for him, the platoon commander, to leave.

And the cheers of the entire 2nd row, as Zheng Yingqi walked in with a helpless face, slowly subsided, and only smiling faces were welcoming his arrival.

Well, in just a few days, Platoon Commander Zheng went online again......
