CHAPTER XV

Cross-country marching is also compared to the speed of marching. Although the first and third rows fell behind in the obstacle course, they would not give in and give in, which is not the style of the E-Company brothers. What's more, there was also a Lieutenant Sober on the sidelines to oversee the formation.

Sergeant Lenny was already tired, and because it was a race, he had to race against time to get there earlier. The pace was so much faster than the usual training that from time to time a soldier fell behind or even fell.

"I can't walk anymore! It's hell to be with Lenny. Edward couldn't help but complain, his legs seemed to be filled with lead bars, as if they would be blown down by the wind at any moment, "Whatever Sauber does, even if he is punished by him later, I am willing, now I just want to stop and catch my breath, I can't catch it!" ”

"Give me your rifle!" Even though Lenny was almost out of reach, he took Edward's rifle and said, "Do you want the paratrooper badge?" So it knocked you down? ”

"Alright, Lenny, I think I'll try to keep up!" Edward moved almost as far as he could. But he's still moving. The results of the first row were fifteen minutes ahead of usual. On a ten-kilometer march in the field, this was good enough. Because the previous achievements were top-notch in the battalion headquarters and even in the regiment headquarters, but today they can still do better.

Captain Sauber was pleased with the performance of the platoon, and he knew that it was already very difficult. But despite his satisfaction, he still had an unhappy look on his face and his brow furrowed.

The third row performed better, and when it arrived, it took five minutes less than the second row. And what about the second row?

"You know what? The first and third rows are desperate today! Kaber teased in the group. The second row departed half an hour after the departure of the third row.

"I knew those guys weren't going to throw in the towel easily!" Goneri was always a very active one, and even when he was on the march, he couldn't control his mouth.

"Silence!" Winster whispered to the two of them.

Goneri stopped talking. But Parks spoke.

"Sir, please speak!"

Winster looked at him, "Say, sergeant, the request passes!" ”

Parks said, "We're almost halfway there, and if we don't quicken our pace, we're afraid we won't be able to meet Captain Sober's request!" ”

"Why?" Winster hesitated.

Parks continued, "If we had only arrived a little earlier than them this time, Captain Sauber would have thought we were just lucky. But if we can get ten minutes or more ahead of their best platoon, then it's not luck, it's that we have that quality. ”

Winster thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, we should speed up the march!" ”

It's not just a win. What the second platoon needs is a big win, so that it can reflect the difference of the second platoon, so that there is enough reason to shut up Sauber, and to attract the attention of Colonel Zink.

The speed quietly accelerated, and finally all the officers and soldiers of the second platoon began to trot, although some of them were too tired, but they all gritted their teeth and persisted like the soldiers of the first and third platoons.

Moore's face was grim, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

"What's wrong with you?" Parks passed a few people and ran to Moore's side. He knew that it could be Moore's stomach aches starting again! Acupressure alone will not solve the problem, and it is impossible to stop and massage him now.

"Nothing. I can hold it! Moore wanted to smile at Parks to show that he was fine, but the smile on his face was more ugly than crying.

"Give me the gun!" At this time, Moore's side White suddenly interjected.

Parks stopped him and smiled, "Give it to me, you're tired enough!" Ignoring Moore's objections, he took the gun, "You know, I'm stronger than two lions." ”

Moore didn't object, and the group sped towards their destination.

The end result really left Sauber speechless, the second row was about fifteen minutes ahead of the best third row, and that was enough, and Sauber knew he couldn't say anything more. E Company can be better from now on, and he is willing to see it, but this time it seems that it is Lieutenant Winster and Sergeant Parks who are in the limelight, and it has nothing to do with him. This is where he is most uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect that sergeant named Parks to come up with such a training method!" Lieutenant Colonel Stryll got the results of three platoons of Company E, and the first company happily said to Colonel Zinke at the regimental headquarters.

Colonel Zinke has won the results and smiled, this is already very rare, there is a significant improvement in a short time, this is exactly what he needs, if this method is promoted throughout the regiment, then it will be a great asset for the 506th regiment. The quality of the soldiers will be further improved, and the probability of survival on the battlefield and the effect of destroying the enemy will be greatly improved.

"Make arrangements for me to meet Sergeant Parks and Lieutenant Winster." Colonel Zinke ordered.

Lieutenant Colonel Stryll conveyed Colonel Zinke's orders.

When the herald found Parks, outside the camp, he was surrounded by all the GIs of Company E.

"Parks, it seems that you were the god of the second row this time, and you saved all of them!" Lenny shouted at Parks, unconvinced.

"Hey, Lanny, Parks isn't a god, he's a wizard, but I watched him press his fingers on Moore's legs and wrists a few times, and Moore's stomach pain stopped immediately. What do you say he's not a wizard? Goneri couldn't help but say it, then turned to Parks and smiled, "Are you sure you're not an Indian-American?" As far as I know, the wizards of the Indians are very powerful. ”

Some burst out laughing. Parks laughed: "I'm not an Indian, my hand is called acupressure, it's from ancient China, it's amazing." But it's thanks to my neighbor, who is a doctor from China. Parks, in order to prevent them from chasing them to the end, casually made up a reason.

"Oh, I hear you say that, I'm interested in China right now. Are there as many wizards there as there are Indians? Goneri grinned, "But you'll have to teach me how to do it!" ”

"Of course, why not?" Parks nodded, he could only be helpless about Gunessey's ignorance about China, and the average American today would not care about a country called China on the other side of the ocean, as for what this country was like, it was obvious that most people were like Gunessey, full of mystery and incomprehension, just like the witchcraft of the Indians.

At this moment a jeep drove up, stopped outside the crowd, and a sergeant got down.

"Who's Sergeant Parkes?" The sergeant looked over. The crowd turned to look at him.

"I am!" Parks squeezed out the crowd.

"Come with us, Colonel Zink and Lieutenant Colonel Strell want to see you!" The sergeant nodded at Parks.

Parks knew that it was just a matter of training, so without saying a word, he jumped into the car. The jeep roared, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Brothers, it looks like we're going to be like the second row." Lenny laughed and shouted.

"What about Sauber?" Someone said a word.

"Captain Sauber is older than Colonel Zink's officer?" That's when Compton Barker jumped out, "This time we'll have to thank Parks and Lieutenant Winster." ”

The brothers of Company E knew that it was only a matter of time before Parks' training method passed. Since Colonel Zinke had personally inquired about the matter, what else could Sauber do?

Indeed, Sauber was helpless. He was annoyed that Lieutenant Winster had distinguished himself during this period of training. Looking at the limelight now, many of the brothers of Company E have shown great affection for Winster, but they have stayed away from their own company commander.

"Thank you very much for your contribution to Company E and the 506th Regiment!" Colonel Zinke unexpectedly poured a glass of wine for Winster and Parks during the interview, "I want to implement this training method in E Company, and if it is verified again, I will promote it throughout the regiment." It's just that in the process of promotion, I still have some questions. Is dantian related to breathing? ”

Obviously, Colonel Zink, like the other big men at the time, couldn't understand it. They pay attention to the laws that can be verified by science.

Of course, Parks had to explain again.

I don't know if Captain Zink finally understood, but there is no obstacle for E Company to implement this method. Commander Zinke personally signed the order of the training regulations.

"Lieutenant Winster, you're a good officer!" At the end of the day, Zink and Winster shook hands.

"And you, Parks. I'm sure you'll do better in the future! Zink shook Parks' hand as well, "Of course, as a sergeant, you will also have to make a greater contribution to the training and promotion of E Company. ”

"Sir?" Parks thinks he's misheard, Sergeant? Promoted again?
