Nickerson's words made Spiel look up at him. Obviously, he really wanted to come to this company. He did nothing in D Company, fought a battle that was not a good one, lived a life that was not a good one, and could not be promoted for a long time, which made him a little angry. Add to that the kind of atmosphere he felt in E-Company the other day, and he was indeed a little nervous.

The advantages of being in E Company were undoubted, and the fact that he had the privilege of taking part in the battle of E Company today was very exciting for him to reach the river beach with only 35 men before he arrived. After joining in, he took the initiative to attack the German army of more than 200 people with a team of more than 60 people, forcing the German army not to dare to fight again. Spiel's eyes moved to Parks' face again, wanting to get something out of him.

Parks smiled at him and hesitated, "Our company lacks officers like Lieutenant Spierre, that's for sure. Of course, it is also what I desperately need. ”

Spiel nodded and smiled, "Of course I'm very willing to fight for Company E." That's why I admire you, Lieutenant Parks. ”

"Oh, oh, oh!" At this time, Nickerson couldn't help but shout, and he smiled at the two of them, "I don't know if you can keep my breakfast in my stomach when you hear you praising each other here!" But don't say I didn't warn you, it's not an easy thing to do. At the very least, Colonel Zink doesn't think like you! ”

Winters also smiled at this time. He said to Spiel: "You platoon stay and hold this line of defense. Then he patted Parks on the shoulder and said, "Come with us to the battalion?" ”

Parks nodded, looking at the brothers who were sitting on the ground resting, they looked a little tired after a big battle. But that doesn't stop these guys from adding a little goodies to themselves. Some people started to make fires and cook things to eat.

"Okay, but I've got to get my brothers in place!" Parks nodded at him.

"Good! I'm waiting for you at the battalion headquarters. Winters nodded at him, then waved his head at Nickerson and said, "Let's go back to the camp headquarters, and I'll leave it to Lacey and Spiel." ”

The jeep sped down the road for a while, then slowed down towards the battalion headquarters. Winters and Nickerson were happy with the results. It's already a pretty remarkable fight. The ability shown by the soldiers of Company E in this battle was indeed impressive, although they also did a very good job in the front.

"It seems that Sauber is not entirely wrong!" Nickerson sat in the passenger seat, his legs in front of the windshield, leaning in a very comfortable position, holding the bottle in his hand and taking a sip of wine.

"I never thought his training was wrong." Winters nodded, "But most of the ability shown by the brothers of Company E to surpass that of other companies should be attributed to Lacey. His methods were very surprising and certainly very effective, and I have benefited from them to this day. ”

It was one of the best of all Company E's operations in previous wars, and it demonstrated that Company excelled at every stage of infantry tactics: reconnaissance, defense, attacking under fire cover, retreating, and most importantly, masterful rifle, machine gun, and mortar marksmanship. Moreover, the soldiers of Company E are in good physical condition. They have consumed a huge amount of energy and energy throughout the battle, and if it weren't for the strengthening and conditioning of physical fitness by Parkes' training methods, then this time, there will definitely be many people who can't hold on. This can be seen from the D Company that joined later. Company D was involved in far fewer attacks than Company E, but their soldiers appeared tired and sat down almost like their brothers.

"It's a battle that has been outstanding in every way!" Nickerson nodded.

He is telling the truth, and Winters has analyzed it through Parks's narrative. In addition to the above-mentioned excellence in the personal qualities of E Company, the use of all aspects of the E Company's combat was very good, including communications, interactive attack and retreat, and coordination with the British artillery.

Of course, the key to victory came from Parkes. He made a wise decision, which came from his calmness, wisdom, courage and his spirit of leading by example. And he killed many more Germans than anyone. Especially when he rushed onto the road alone, in the face of the German troops who were pressed by the black pressure of a company, he suppressed them with two consecutive magazines, almost one shot at a hit rate, until the follow-up team arrived, giving the Germans great damage.

But for Parks, there was an element of luck in this battle, just like the luck factor in Winters fighting this battle in his previous life. The poor command of the German troops, the German troops nestled together in large dense crowds, and the two German machine guns were killed by themselves first. More importantly, the Germans were actually wearing thick long coats, moving slowly, and were unable to form an organized point of fire. It is clear that all this was an unforgivable mistake made by the Germans.

Parks watched Winters and Nickerson leave, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, he didn't expect that he finally snatched his original classic fight, but no matter what, the result was the same. The brothers of Company E have won, and what could be more important than this? Thinking of this, the corners of Parks' mouth couldn't help but smile a little.

"Sir, would you like to come some?" At this time, a voice from Parks' side interrupted his thoughts, and he turned his head to see that it was Eugene? Doctor Luo, he held a jar and handed it to him, "Coffee!" ”

"Great! Thank you so much! Parks hastened to thank him, he was indeed a little tired after such a night and a day of fighting. Just need a cup of coffee to feel a little more refreshed.

"Good job, sir!" Doctor Luo raised his glass at him, smiled slightly, and then walked over to the brothers. Parks saw Luz talking and laughing with a bunch of guys, which caused a burst of laughter. Parks couldn't help but smile, this guy can create a better atmosphere anywhere.

"Lutz!" Parks beckoned to him, "Come here, have you contacted the Welsh lieutenant of the company?" How are they doing now? "That's what Parks cares about a lot.

"It's not bad!" Lutz nodded, "Earlier, at the end of here, it was connected that they repelled two German attacks, and the brothers were not too bad. Haber died, and some of his brothers were slightly injured, some of whom didn't even need to be bandaged. They were also bombarded indiscriminately by the Germans, and they were so lucky! ”

Parks nodded, and said to Lutz, "Haber? Recruits coming in? ”

"Yes, that's him! The one who is a little timid and screams like a. The Welsh lieutenant said that a German soldier jumped into a trench and was stabbed to death with a bayonet! Rutz shook his head with a sigh.

Parks nodded, signaling that he understood, and let Luz leave. Haber died, but this is not explained by the simple jumping of the Germans into the trenches. Parks knew that there were some new recruits in Company E, and their quality was indeed too far from that of the veterans, and they were empty of enthusiasm, and some were even cowardly, but they didn't know how to use and control them.

It seems that after this battle, training is imminent, especially the upcoming battle of the Ardennes, if they are not able to adapt to the battlefield, then their chances of survival are very small, either they are killed by the Germans, they will collapse in the battle, or they will kill themselves with one shot. Suicide because of fear is not without precedent, in the US military.

After a short rest, Parks told Tybert and Pikak to assemble the brothers and they were to return to company headquarters. Where to get a short correction time.

"Guys, we're leaving!" Tybert was shouting loudly, "Say goodbye to the brothers of Company D." I think we'll not see them for a while. ”

The brothers of Company E stood up in twos and threes, and then slowly packed up their equipment. Although they were tired, after all, the whole battle was considered a victory, and their faces were still full of smiles.

"Hey man, thanks for the cigarettes! Much stronger than British goods! Is it American? Something seems wrong. Someone was yelling at the brothers of Company D.

"German goods, I found them in the pockets of those dead Germans." The guy from D-Company smirked, "Looks like you're missing out on the best stuff." ”

"Damn, no wonder it stinks. Damn the smell of the Germans' corpse! The guy was so angry that the group of D Company was there laughing.

"Goodbye, brothers!" Luz also spoke to the group of D-Company men who were cooking, and then began to retreat.

Lieutenant Spierre and Parks shook hands again. Obviously, Spiel's wish Parks knew enough, but he wouldn't fight for him, it was up to him.

"It's the best fight I've ever had!" Spiel smiled, "I hope there will be another opportunity like this!" ”

"I'm looking forward to it!" Parks nodded, then said goodbye to Spiel and began to retreat towards the company.

Lieutenant Spierre stared blankly at the back of the retreating E Company, and he only noticed one person in his eyes, and that was Parkes, yes, Parks created a lot of miracles. These miracles, even if they are just one of them, are almost impossible for the vast majority of beautiful people. But he was able to do a lot of things. Of course, this one also included.

What can he do now? Do you want to let yourself spend in obscurity in D-Company like this? Spiel was hungry for honors, especially those he had won in battle. But now his highest honor is only the Silver Star. But in E-Company, even without mentioning Parkes' Congressional Medal of Honor, even if it is the Cross of Distinguished Service, several have been awarded. Captain Winters is shown, then Lieutenant Parkes, and Welsh Lieutenant, and even Sergeant Sifodi are able to obtain.

He suddenly made a decision in his heart, he could hear what Nickerson was saying, that is, Nickerson and the others also knew what they were thinking now, maybe he could talk to them about his thoughts first.

"Nice attention!" He muttered to himself, a smile.

Behind him, a soldier from Company D was exclaiming, "Oh, these brothers of Company E are simply iron men, I really don't know how they survived." I'm going to be crazy if I'm fighting for so long! ”
