Colonel Zinke and Colonel Stryll were optimistic, but they obviously ignored the fact that even if Company E achieved great results, it was weak after all, and once the Germans figured out the characteristics of this kind of bunker, they would come up with a way to deal with it, after all, it was a bit unthinkable to rely on a kind of bunker to win the battle, which Parks was clear. This kind of cover is not flawless, each cover has its flaws that it cannot ignore, or each type of cover appears at the beginning, it will be amazing, but once used repeatedly in battle, it will make people figure out how to deal with it. Now the Parks bunker is the same.

The brothers of E-Company also had the same idea as Colonel Zinke and Colonel Stryll, and they relied on the Parks bunker to achieve a great victory over the German army, which in their eyes was undoubtedly a guarantee of their confidence, and some were even very superstitious - as long as they stayed in the bunker, there was no danger to their lives.

"You're optimistic about that, too?" Parks looked at the Welsh lieutenant who was talking about the battle with relish, shook his head and said, "War is a human art, there is a hard shield, and there will definitely be a spear that pierces this shield in the future." Human wisdom is infinite, never underestimate your opponents, Harry, I have to warn you! ”

Wales smiled and said, "If you keep me calm in the face of victory, I won't be me." I'm not like you, even if I fight a successful battle, I have to make myself look worried. ”

Parks smiled slightly, "That's why I'm the company commander and you're the deputy company commander!" ”

"So I can be as happy as I want, and you have to frown!" The Welsh lieutenant smiled, then looked at Parks and said, "Do you want to talk to the brothers?" Keep them on their toes! ”

"No need!" Parks shook his head and said, "After this time, I'll talk to my brothers again." ”

After the battle, the snow seemed quiet, and the brothers of E Company returned to their bunkers again, and Parks still sent observation posts to the front of the woods, and the movement of the German army became the main concern of E Company. Either it could be another large-scale attack, combined with the method of dealing with bunkers, to capture the line of defense regardless of casualties, or it could change the direction of the attack and look for another breakthrough.

These were the two scenarios that Parks expected for the German army. But now the minutes and seconds have passed, the German offensive has not yet begun, and they have not even carried out artillery bombardment. This also relaxed the nerves of the brothers of E-Company. The long nervous tension and high-intensity fighting made them mentally exhausted.

When it was getting dark, the company's cook, Joe? Dominguez made some corn paste with corn flour and ghee, but when it was served, it was already cold, and in the past two days, everyone has been eating K dry food, and even if this corn paste is not very tasty, as long as the taste is changed slightly, it can also get the brothers to get rid of the feeling of wanting to vomit after seeing K dry food.

In platoons, the brothers lined up in a long line, one by one carrying lunch boxes, waiting for a little corn paste. To be honest, the food of E-Lian is very monotonous, mainly white beans, and you can eat corn paste, even if it is already cold, it can make the brothers praise. The food doesn't have to be delicious, it just needs to be delicious with a slight change.

"Oh, Joe, tomorrow, some more corn paste tomorrow, I love this!" Goneri reached over the lunch box, then looked at the big tin bucket, the corn paste in the bucket was rippling and rippling.

"Don't even think about it!" Dominguez shook his head and said, "Unless you pack the rest today, there will be no tomorrow, and this is what I brought from Momion, and it's all used up." I'll bring you beans tomorrow. ”

"I'm going to pack too!" White shouted from the sidelines.

"Please, don't rob me of my only corncorn, I'm going to survive the days in Bastogne!" Maraki laughed as he waved the spoon in his hand and was about to go to the iron bucket to scoop it.

"Who's making a fuss here?" At this moment Lieutenant Pikak came from behind the woods, and he looked at his brothers, and could not help but say angrily to White and Malachi, "Damn, I don't know if this will attract the attention of the Germans?" You want everyone to die here for a little bit of corncorn? ”

"I'm sorry, sir!" White said a word, and walked away, grimacing at Christenson as he left, apparently he didn't care what Lieutenant Pikak said. Malachi shrugged his shoulders and quietly stepped aside. Truth be told, Lieutenant Pikak was a qualified officer, but he didn't know how to get along well with his brothers, which made his relationship with them a little strained.

Pikak's roar dispersed them, and except for a few brothers who were still in line, the others squatted aside, silently eating the corn paste in their lunch boxes. When you eat this stuff in your stomach, it feels like a piece of ice in your stomach, and your intestines are frozen into popsicles. Lieutenant Pikak looked at it, then made a corn paste himself, and walked to his bunker, he was a little bored.

"Look at this guy, he thinks he's a Hollywood star!" Toy looked at Guaerney and shook his head, "I always feel that his arrival can make the temperature here drop a little more, you can see that my corn paste has frozen, which is a phenomenon that he didn't have before he came!" ”

Grace smiled and said, "I don't think so, in fact, he is a good person, but I don't like him, I believe that Company Commander Parks will like him, this guy will carry out Parks' orders without any discount." It's just a flexibility that doesn't understand, and if he can be flexible, I think he'll be a good person! ”

"I hope so. To be honest, he's still much easier to get along with than Sauber! Toy nodded, slid the spoon into the lunch box a few times, the corn paste inside had turned into ice slag, he dug a large spoonful, and then put it in his mouth, the corn paste made a crisp sound of "squeak" and "squeak" in his mouth.

Dominguez scraped the bucket clean, and despite that, there were brothers who seemed unsatisfied. "These guys can eat it!" Dominguez smiled, and it was clear that he was very happy to be able to eat what he had made. But wanting to find something fresh to improve the taste of his brothers, it seems that this is enough for him to be nerve-wracking. He promised that if the brothers ate beans for three days in a row, they would go crazy.

"Dessert, do you want it?" Wales handed the glasses filled with snow to Parks.

"Want to like snow?" Parks took it and looked at it, then found something, and couldn't help but smile, "There's lemon powder in there, nice dessert, Harry, it looks like you've learned a lot, in such an environment!" Do you want to sell ice cream or dessert cakes or something like that after the war? ”

"After the war?" Wales couldn't help but smile, and then looked at the line of defense in front, the sky was already dark, and the fluorescent light reflected from the snow in front of him, and nothing could be seen, at this time, from time to time, flares rose to illuminate the clearing in front of him. Other than that, everything is quiet.

"Hopefully I'll live to the end, and then I'll thank God, and then I'll marry my Betty, and get a job, or be a teacher." Wales said, smiling involuntarily, then turning to Parks, "What about you?" What do you want to do? ”

Parks looked at Wales and smiled, "Maybe stay in the army." I would go to West Point. You know I have an honor in my body, and I can go to the military school I want at any time. This is my first choice. I don't have any skills, and I don't know what else I can do other than stay in the army. Parks said, his heart throbbing slightly.

"Stay in the army?" Wales looked at Parks in some surprise, then nodded and smiled as if he suddenly realized, "As far as I know, a military genius like you is indeed a bit of a waste if he doesn't stay in the army." But if we can continue to work together, I don't mind being re-drafted into the army. I don't want you to lose yourself in a strange team, I have to watch you! ”

Parks smiled slightly, then patted Wales' arm and smiled, "This is just an idea." The first is that I have to live until the end of the war. The war in Europe had become clear, and if the Germans had lost this time, Hitler's mustache would not have lasted long. It was only a matter of time before the Germans surrendered, but we still had the Pacific theater, and we might deploy it in China or in the Pacific. ”

"That's terrible!" Wales shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Parks looked at him and smiled, "I'm looking forward to it." We are needed there, Harry, and if one day I can lead my company to Tokyo and occupy their palace, it will be something I will be proud of for the rest of my life! What Parks hadn't said yet was that it was far more proud and exciting than the occupation of Berlin.

"Harry, let the brothers go into bunker as soon as they've finished eating, the Germans won't let us have a good time. They won't let us get a good night's sleep. Parks suddenly said to Wales, "We need to silence the sound and the fire, which will be the focus of the German attack!" ”

Wales nodded, and then he crawled out of cover, and he asked Lutz to find the platoon commanders, and then conveyed Parks' orders, but even so, Parks was not very reassured. After all, under the original plot, the brothers of Company E couldn't stand the cold and loneliness, some sang in foxholes, and some lived in the snow, which eventually led to shelling. And Wales was injured by German shelling when he was living, and he must not let this happen again.

When Wales returned to bunker, Parks decided to take it upon himself to inspect the entire defence. Personally inspect the condition of the sentry post and the sleeping of the brothers.

"Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?" Wales looked at him.

"No need, Harry, you stay here!" Parks said as he climbed out of cover and began to walk his way along the line. His figure quickly disappeared into the snow. A row of footprints in the snow was deeply sunk. Wales watched Parks walk away, felt a little tired and sat down, then shook his head and smiled: "Continue in the army?" If you really stay with him, it's a good choice. ”

After walking some distance, Parks faintly heard someone singing, and he couldn't help but frown and look over at the voice, it was clear that this was still happening. In fact, this can also be understood, if you don't have a surname, you will definitely go crazy if you stay in the bunker all night and night and don't find something.

He saw a figure in front of him, and Parks recognized him and couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that Guerneri?" ”

Goneri looked sideways at Parks and nodded, "Yes, it's me, Chief!" ”

"Any idea who's singing there?" Parks frowned, "That's not a good idea!" Shut them up, don't summon the shelling of the Germans! ”
