Chapter 266: Farewell

Company E was wounded during the attack on the village of Foy, but no one was killed. The wounded also included Captain Parkes, the company commander of Company E. After capturing Foy, Company E and the other companies of the 2nd Battalion were stationed in the south of the village as a reserve, while the 3rd Battalion was stationed in Foy and assumed the defensive task of Foy.

"I can't believe someone like you would go to the hospital," Wales said goodbye to Parks, who couldn't help but pat Parks on the shoulder, "Maybe you should be like Dick said"

"What did Dick say?"

"Every time you say something like an idiot, confess to God," Welsh laughed. But Parks saw concern and worry in his eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"It's not a big deal, do you think this little injury is nothing?" Parks smiled slightly, and then patted Wales on the shoulder, next to him was the on-call Medical Officer Rowe, who would be responsible for transporting Captain Parks to the ambulance station in Bastogne, which was already a relatively large ambulance station, with complete medical equipment and a steady supply of logistical materials.

Parks smiled at Wales and said, "Harry, I'll be back soon, don't worry about my problems, lead the brothers well." As he spoke, he nodded at Dr. Luo, and then limped into the jeep. As soon as he sat down, he heard Doctor Luo, who was still standing, say to Parks, "Captain, I think you should come down and take a look." ”

"What?" Parks turned his head and looked behind him, then he froze, and behind him a group of people were walking in his direction, apparently the brothers from Company E. At the forefront was White, who had a very good relationship with him, and Sergeant Major Tybert walked side by side with him, and behind them were almost all the men of Company E.

"God, it looks like it's big enough," muttered the Welsh lieutenant, and then he leaned outside to stand up, he had to make room for the brothers. Honestly, it touched him a little that Parks was able to get the love of almost all of his brothers in E-Company. Usually I just think so in my heart, but now once I show it, it is still a little shocking, no officer has ever had such treatment, not even the entire O Airborne Division.

"Boss, are you going to leave like this?" White walked over to Parks, who was getting out of the car, and then gave him a hug, "I'm shocked to hear that you're wounded, which is probably more surprising than Hitler's plan to attack Washington." That's a big deal, please, so let's take a look. ”

"Thank you, buddy," Parks gripped White's hand tightly and laughed, "Hitler couldn't have attacked Washington, and we might have parachuted in Berlin."

"Chief, I'm trying to say that you're only slightly injured," Tybert chuckled, "so the brothers are finally at ease, and lo and behold, these guys, they're always arguing to come over." ”

"Okay, thanks, but I'm just going to the ambulance station for a few days. When I saw you all coming, I thought I had been badly wounded by the Germans. It's nothing," Parks said, limping over to his brothers and shaking hands with them one by one.

"Hey, boss, you're acting too brave this time. I think it's like Lee Gotte said, you're the Flash. Sifodi also said you can shoot the wings of flies," Cone shouted loudly from the back of the crowd.

"Shut up, Kaber," Ligort shouted back, then laughed, "I wish the boss was the Flash, then we should pack up and go home now, can Hitler stop the Flash?" ”

The crowd burst into laughter. Suddenly someone shouted, "All right, guys, we should say something to the captain." "It's Malach with a video camera in his hand," I got a German watch from the reporter's hand, and I was only allowed to use it for an hour, well, you guys come one by one, what are you supposed to say to the boss?" Malaki borrowed it from war correspondent LaBeouf by means of bribery, and LaBeouf promised him that he would give him a video as a souvenir in the future. This made Malaki very excited. Of course, LaBeouf wanted to know more about Captain Parks in the hearts of the brothers of E-Company, and of course, in this battle he saw something more than a wise commander - bravery and unstoppable momentum and his unrivaled fighting qualities.

"No, no, let's have a picture with the chief," Cristenson shouted at Malachi, "he's going to Baston, not Washington, and sing, I like this the best."

"My girlfriend sang when she took me to Takoya, and I liked it," Mook agreed loudly.

"We pulled the parachute and landed on the grass." Suddenly, someone began to sing, "We don't have to fall to the ground with our feet, we will always fall to the ground with our buttocks / God Almighty, who are we?" We are paratroopers......"

Then the brothers gradually joined in the voice, shouting with their throats open, facing the camera lens of Malachi, without any scruples, even vulgar and wild.

“…… We pull the Ascension Cable and land on the grass / We don't land on our feet, we always have our buttocks on the ground / Almighty God, who are we? / We are paratroopers......"

This is the song that the brothers sang the most when they were in the Takoya barracks. It's being sung now, especially for the veterans, as if it took them to the summer of '94 again. The scene of their training over the Kolasi Mountains seems to be vivid, and now they are singing such songs on such snow, and before they know it, everyone is holding each other's hands tightly. This brings them warm and bitter memories.

Company E now has only 68 veterans who have fought since Normandy, and after a few additions, there are now only about O7, many of whom have been killed or wounded and returned to the United States. And the veterans are the most determined forces to follow Parks, and they have a blind trust in Parks. They always thought that Parks would be able to bring them the final victory and that they would return to the United States alive, to their own home.

But Parks himself felt like he was trying to do just that. But veterans continue to be injured and even killed. But in any case, this result is already much lower than the casualty rate of the veterans of the original Brothers and Brothers. And not counting the casualties before Parks became a company commander, in fact, since Parks became a company commander, there have been very few casualties among veterans.

White pulls Parks into the brothers, and the brothers fan up to Malaqi's camera with Parks in their hearts, and say their blessings to Parks loudly.

"Well, I'll just have one word, sir, and I hope I'll see you tomorrow when I open my eyes," this was what Lipp meant as he expressed himself, "and tell me, Lipp, go and gather the brothers, we're going to withdraw to the Momion barracks"

"Oh my God, Lip, you're dreaming" Maraqi, who was holding the camera, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Damn, Malachi, you've got to get the damn camera, it's me, it's my turn" Goneri squeezed to the front, then straightened his collar to the camera, and then laughed exaggeratedly, "Hey, Chief, I could have said it to your face, but we have to leave a precious memento, so I'll have to take this black thing as your face"

His words immediately caused a burst of laughter, and someone was urging: "Mr. gonorrhea, hurry up, this is shorter than your time to go to the toilet, don't make us wait too long" Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter.

Goneri coughed dryly twice, then nodded, "Okay, okay, guys listen." Okay, Chief, what I want to say is, I asked to join your special group, don't hide it, now that Sifudi and Da Niu have admitted it, they said, to form a special group, I think I'm an old man from the Takoya military camp, I should be qualified to join, isn't it? ”

"Oh, God, wait" Malach suddenly put the camera away, then turned to glared at Captain Parks and said, "Boss, this is not fair, why don't we know about this, I am also from Takoya." If Goneri had a share, so should I. Boss, you have to be fair."

As soon as these two people's words came out, the entire surrounding brothers exploded, obviously they didn't know about the existence of this matter, if it wasn't for Goneri just now.

Parks knew he had to say a few words at this point, he nodded at the brothers around him, and when they stopped, he said, "Yes, brothers, I have such a plan, and I am going to apply to my superiors. But not now, my plan is to consider my plan after the war in Europe is over, if my brothers continue to stay in the army. ”

As soon as Parks' words fell, many people fell silent. They also have their own plans in their hearts, after the European war, what they want most is how to go home as soon as possible, and now they are fighting hard in such an environment, in order to return home as soon as possible. It is true that staying in the army is not a decision that can be made in a moment.

This reaction was expected, Parks nodded, and he smiled at the brothers, "Okay, guys, I have to say goodbye now, think about my words, I respect everyone's choice." With that, he limped into the jeep.

"Boss, don't forget what I just said, I'm serious." Goneri yelled in the back.

"Me too," Malachi added loudly at the back.

The jeep sped away from Foy Village, on a path carved out of the forest, with large trees and bare trunks flashing behind the car.

"Captain—" At this time, Doctor Luo, who was sitting next to Parks, suddenly spoke, and he looked at Parks a little shyly, "If possible, I would like to participate in it, I think it must be very meaningful." That's it for me," he said, with a determined look in his eyes.

"You mean the task force?" Parks suddenly smiled at him.

"Yes, sir"

"I'll think about it," Parks nodded.

The car made two deep wheel marks in the snow, and it stretched backwards to the snow-covered house in the far village of Foy, where the brothers of Company E stood guard......
