Chapter II

"Oh, Parks, you can't get the second lieutenant off the stage!" Lutz shouted. There was a burst of laughter around.

Compton Barker looked at the dart that hit the red star, smiled wryly and shook his head, "You won, Parks!" Buck knew he couldn't have hit the Red Star, and he threw in the towel, not even shooting a dart.

"Five hundred dollars, it's yours!" Joe Legott handed over a stack of bills, "You've made me lose, Parks. ”

"Really?" Parks laughed, no one doesn't like banknotes, Parks calculated in his heart, according to the current prices in the United States, five hundred dollars is a lot of money, and it is equivalent to ten months' monthly salary of a soldier, "Maybe next time, you can buy what I won." ”

"I can't sleep tonight! Even though I lost, I still think you're just shit luck tonight. Compton Barker shook his head and left.

"Who of you wants beer? Buck pleases tonight! Parks held up the beer in his hand.

"Oh! You're so nice. There was a round of cheering.

"Alright, guys, there's bad news, there's good news, which one to listen to first?" At this moment, Walter Gordon suddenly stood on a table and shouted.

"Let's talk about it first!" Orton Moore.

"The good news is that tomorrow morning's check-up will be cancelled, which means we can go to bed early!" As soon as Gordon's words fell, there was a loud applause.

"That's great news!" "But I think bad news always makes good news boring, and I know Lieutenant Herb Sauber very well.

"The bad news is that tomorrow afternoon's vacation will be cancelled and Sauber will lead everyone in outdoor training." Sure enough, when Gordon told the bad news, everyone was dejected.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Tacoya military camp.

"All of you should stand upright!" Sauber shouted loudly as he walked through the neatly standing line. He stood in front of Paikanti.

"Private Paikanti, did you learn from a paratrooper to stuff your trousers into your boots?"

"No, company commander." Paikanti replied with a straight chest.

"And why are your trouser hems wrinkled?"

"Company commander, there is no reason." Paikanti looked nervous, God knows what this pervert would come up with.

"It's one thing to volunteer to join the Airborne Forces, but Paikanti, you still have a long way to go!" Sauber exclaimed, "Your next weekend outing is canceled." ”

"Name?" Sauber stopped again.

"George Lutz."

"There's dust behind the crosshairs, and the outing is canceled." Sauber took the rifle from Lutz's hand and glanced out of the corner of his eye.

"When did you embroider these classes, Sergeant Lippe?" Sauber's finger touched the sergeant's rank on Lip's shoulder.

"Yesterday, company commander!" Kawood Lipp pursed his lips.

"The line is too long, and the outing will be canceled next week."

"Yes, company commander!"

"Name? Donno Malachi. ”

"Malachi? In other words, that's what it means to be shit, right? Sauber took Marachi's rifle and glanced at it.

"Yes, company commander."

"The butt folding spring is rusty, and the private shit is canceled when he goes out."

"Name? Joe Leegot, Company Commander. ”

"The bayonet is rusty, Legot!" Sauber reached out and pulled the bayonet out of Joe Legott's body, "Do you want to kill the Germans?" "Yes, company commander." Li Gaot said loudly.

Sauber slammed the bayonet to the ground, and the bayonet was stabbed into the ground: "If it weren't for this thing, I wouldn't have allowed you to take this scrap metal to battle, and I wouldn't have taken you to battle in your condition." ”

Sauber walked to the front of the group and said loudly, "Because of you wrongdoers, all those who go out next weekend will cancel their vacations." Put on your paratrooper suits, we're going for a run! ”

Parks was familiar with this scene, and he had seen it many times on his computer. He suddenly wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh anymore when he saw the other brothers hanging their heads. At this time, the platoon commander, Dick Winters, was ordering: "The second platoon is disbanded, and you have two minutes to change into training uniforms." Hurry up! ”

Despite his unwillingness, no one in Company E disobeyed the order.

"White, let's go!" This time, Parks took the initiative to walk up to White, knowing that if normal development continued, White would refuse to train this time, and was transferred out of the 506th Regiment by Herb Sauber. Parks knew that White was a good man, out of a bit of pampering.

"Parks, I don't want to! It's true. White sat on the marching bed.

"You can do it, White!" Parks crouched down and looked at him.

"I can't take it anymore!" White clutched his head in annoyance.

"Look at me, White! No one is born to do it, let's go, I'll follow you. Parks pulled White up from the bed, "I'll help you." ”

White changed into his training uniform and followed Parks out of the camp. Parks was happy, after all, White's results might have changed because of his arrival.

Climbing as usual, round trip back and forth. Parks had become more and more accustomed to his current body, and he even felt that his body had gradually become stronger and stronger, and his body was full of strength. This is due to Parkes' much more advanced training methods than today, as well as his own set of breathing exercises to regulate the internal body, so that the physical fitness can be more efficiently adapted to the training intensity of Sauber.

"I can't imagine this is the old Parks!" Now even Sauber is surprised by the growing strength of Parkes, who is perhaps the strongest guy in my company.

Because of this, Parks became the first non-commissioned officer in the company.

"Stand up!" A few soldiers in the camp put down the playing cards in their hands and stood upright.

It wasn't Herb Sauber, it was Dick Winters.

"Rest, GIs!" Winters smiled, "There's a ceremony today, let's all go out and gather!" ”

"Oh, I hope it wasn't Herb Sauber's idea!" White muttered. Then everyone laughed out loud, and in front of Dick Winters, everyone was not so nervous. But that doesn't stop everyone from having respect for Winters. Because he is a good man, he always solves the siege for everyone in the face of Sauber's troubles.

The second platoon assembled at the door of the tent. Second Lieutenant Dick Winters and Lieutenant Louis Nickerson were already waiting outside the tent, smiling.

"Les Parkes, William Duckerman, David Landowman are out!"

The three of them immediately took a step forward.

"In view of your excellent performance in training, Lieutenant Sauber believes that you can be promoted, and as a staff non-commissioned officer of Company E, you are hereby awarded the rank of sergeant!" Dick Winters took the sergeant's armband from Nickerson, handed it out to the trio, and shook hands with a smile, "Congratulations! ”

The three saluted, then walked back to the queue.

"Disband!" With an order. And they all gathered around.

"Hey, big cow, you can have a beer this weekend!"

"All three of them are pleased!" Someone coaxed, and there was a burst of laughter.

"Parks, well done!" As Parks passed by Winters, Winters shook his hand and nodded, "You're the best soldier I've ever seen!" ”

"Thank you, Ensign!" Parks nodded and smiled, "You're also one of the best-mouthed officers I've ever met. Parks saluted Winters and Nickerson, then turned back to the tent. This promotion came too quickly, and of course this is inseparable from Parks's usual performance.

"Congratulations, Parks!" Entering the camp, White smiled happily at Parks, "I know you can do it, okay, you promised me, you have to help me, to be honest, I was tortured by Lieutenant Sober and I am about to go up to faith." ”

"You're going to have to be Captain Parks now!" Ed Teppo laughed.

"Okay, whatever you want to call it, but remember, no matter what happens to us in the future, we are all brothers, and when we kill the German devils in the future, the only trustworthy ones around us are our brothers!" Parks nodded.

"However, I would never trust Lieutenant Herb Sauber, if he were by my side!" George Lutz laughed.
