Chapter 0378: Company Commanders of Company E
Even the company commanders who watched the flowers
The story of Winters leading his troops to defeat the Germans in white-knuckle combat spread throughout the 506th Regiment the next day.
In the past, the dozen or so companies of the 506th Regiment all knew that the company could fight, could fight, and was good at fighting, but there was no accurate impression of how to fight, but this time, they finally obeyed.
Mother, it's so special that you can fight!
It's a white-knuckle battle, but it's not a mid-to-close battle, and people dare to take the initiative to fight! Moreover, more than a dozen people rushed to the company, and when they thought of that scene, the paratroopers of the whole regiment looked at the company members and became in awe.
The members of the company especially enjoyed the awe of the friendly army, and when they walked, they all carried the invincible domineering spirit of Lao Tzu in the world, especially the few people who participated in the white-knuckle battle that night and did not enter the hospital because of the shelling.
Ahem, although more than 99 out of 90 people don't have this experience.
For the arrogance of his comrades-in-arms, Zheng Yingqi could only pout secretly, but he was embarrassed to hit them They really had never seen the picture of the Chinese and Japanese troops killing red-eyed bayonets on the battlefield, nor had they seen the small, cough cough, the small Japanese army fighting bayonets in groups of three!
Lian's arrogance lasted for several days, and Zheng Yingqi was so arrogant that he had a delusion that Sai Weng was lost and knew whether he was blessed, could there be something bad to happen?
His feeling is too accurate, on October 9th, the fourth day of the company's "arrogance", Winters was promoted, from the commander of the 2nd battalion to the deputy commander of the 2nd battalion, for the company, this is a good thing, after all, it is his own commander who has been promoted, but the new company commander who followed has given everyone a headache, don't look at the handover with Winters, the new company commander from the third battalion looks like a person, but that night, this guy was completely revealed.
This is the front line of confrontation with the German army, a few nights ago there was a sneak attack by the German army across the river at night, when Winters was there, every night to repeatedly check the patrols of each platoon, and even to send out a secret post to be responsible for the final insurance, but the new company commander turned off the lights at ten o'clock that night, and for the defense that should be at night, it was solved with just one sentence!
The three platoon commanders looked at each other, even if it was Peacock, who had been sprayed into a dog by Winters before, they were all dumbfounded, he belonged to that kind of special dogmatic officer, probably knowing that his level was limited, so what he learned in the military academy was only very old-fashioned in execution, although he was miserable because of the lack of flexibility, but at least he was a standard officer, he knew that he should strengthen the guard force when he was on the front line, and he knew that he could not take the enemy as a fool, and he could not ignore the enemy.
But what about this new company commander?
Actually rushed things as usual?
Sky! It's the front line!
"How could he do that?"
The three platoon commanders couldn't believe it, but they had no choice but to worry more about themselves, and at the same time let the sergeants worry about it, without waiting for the company commander's supervision
Early the next morning, the company habitually assembled, and then waited for the company commander to take them to do morning exercises, but it was not until twenty minutes later that they learned a desperate fact that their new company commander was still sleeping under the covers.
Suddenly, the paratroopers were worried, with such an irresponsible company commander, can they survive on the battlefield?
No sense of responsibility, no inspection, just waiting to sit back and enjoy the results?
Such a company commander, if he really commanded them to fight, would probably only hide behind and shout vigorously: "Rush!" Rush me! "And then the paratroopers rushed up, and one by one they were harvested like wheat under the roar of the German machine guns?
Everyone shuddered at the thought of this image, and although the platoon commanders and sergeants tried to suppress the dissatisfaction and fear in the company, this atmosphere was constantly brewing
Welsh asked all the sergeants in the platoon to be optimistic about the soldiers, and never to make a "mutiny" in Britain again, although his current company commander is a bastard, but a company with a criminal record, he really can't mutiny, last time it was Sobel who took the initiative to defuse a possible storm, but this time?
This time it's on the battlefield!
This is the first idiot officer Sobel that Zheng Yingqi encountered, although he was opposed by the entire company, his starting point was good, and he also tempered the elite of the company, but the current company commander
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
Zheng Yingqi cursed this bastard thing in his heart, but as a sergeant, he couldn't let the dissatisfaction among the soldiers brew, so he always paid attention to the dynamics of the soldiers in his class.
As he passed, Henry was speaking: "Do you have any impression of the unfortunate guy who took over from Lieutenant Compton when Nunan was in time?" ”
"He was shot in the palm of the hand, and after being wounded, he left his post as the commander of the 2nd platoon and went to the rear."
Henry was about to speak, Zheng Yingqi did it, looked at Henry with a smile, Henry laughed, and hurriedly said, "We're talking about the unlucky platoon commander who was shot." ”
"Okay, everyone is injured and gone, why are you gossiping behind your back?"
"Jacob, do you think our company commander has the consciousness of that unlucky guy?" Henry asked, Zheng Yingqi frowned, not fooled, but said with dissatisfaction: "Henry, you are also a veteran, can you not always take the matter of chasing wind and shadows seriously?" ”
"Okay, I'm chasing the wind and shadows, I just hope that guy can get out of here sooner and don't harm us!" Henry said angrily.
The officer who took over Compton's duties at that time shrank at the back of the line during the battle, shouting and commanding, and a sergeant in the 2nd platoon was angry that the other party, as an officer, should lead his subordinates to fight, instead of letting his subordinates block bullets for him, this was quite serious, but the other party not only did not pursue it, but left after the war
In fact, he was injured, he was shot in the palm of his hand.
It's just that it's too much of a coincidence, so coincidental that everyone thinks that how can a person who wants to shrink himself into a ball on the battlefield be shot in the palm of his hand? The only explanation is that it was fought by itself.
Of course, these are just speculations, but in any case, the paratroopers have already established such facts.
Just when the soldiers of the company were being silenced by the officers and sergeants, the good news came from the sky and cooled the Tes to the regimental headquarters to report the situation of the company, and the regimental headquarters removed the idiot from his post on the night after coming down to investigate, but, to Winters' disappointment, he did not return to the company as his company commander, but transferred an officer from the direct company:
Fred Heilig.
During the training camp, Heilig, who was still a second lieutenant at the time, was in the company, but he was later transferred to the direct company, and after the new company commander broke the company's heart, the regimental headquarters transferred Heilig, who was promoted to lieutenant in Normandy, to the company and served as the company commander.
Heilig and Winters are very similar, during the training camp, the relationship between the two of them is very good, and even the way of leading the troops is very similar, personally patrolling at night, inspecting the situation of the patrol team from time to time, urging everyone, giving everyone the feeling that his nerves are collapsed tightly, and he has never relaxed This attitude makes everyone in the company on the battlefield very satisfied, although the strictness of the new company commander means that they have to suffer a little more, but compared to the stupid death, what is the hardship?
It's just that
Lian doesn't seem to have a good company commander's life.
On the night of the sixteenth day of Heilig's tenure, Heilig, who was inspecting the patrol at night, had an accident
In the dark night, after being shouted by his own people to stop, he did not say the password at the first time.
Then, the veteran opened fire decisively, firing a total of three shots, all of which were hit.
The fourth company commander of the company fell under the guns of his own people, but fortunately he survived the dangerous period in the hospital and picked up a life, but the veteran who fired the gun, although he did not accept the punishment, was transferred to other units.
Although this is the best outcome, for a veteran of a familiar company, transferring to another unit during the war is actually the last thing to accept.
The first is the latest.
