Li Gaot and the others walked not far, and suddenly turned to Matthews and smiled at the three of them: "Do you know that I am the leader who admires us, who else makes me admire?" ”

Matthews quickly shook his head, and Leecott's eyes shifted to Matthew and Jericho again. The two of them quickly shook their heads as well. It is clear that they are still shocked by Leegotte's actions.

"It's Lieutenant Spierre, Spierre of Company D!" Li Gaot looked at the three of them, shook his head and said, "Maybe you should inquire about the legendary story of Lieutenant Spierre in the company." This Malaki knows best. Maybe you can try it with him when you get back to the company, and I hope he can have the patience to tell you that! ”

Matthews nodded several times again and again, in fact, they didn't dare to ask, killing people on the battlefield was nothing, but shooting a dozen unarmed captives so naked was too shocking to them. Along the way, they didn't dare to say a word more, and although Legot kept talking to them with a smile on his face, they only nodded and shook their heads mechanically.

As they expected, Parks arrived at the company headquarters ahead of Leegotte, and it was clear that this victory made all the men of Company E very happy, and Wales did not forget to clear the sentry posts in the trench positions, and most of the others stayed in Company E to celebrate the victory. It is clear that at least for a while, the brothers will not have to endure the endless shelling of the Germans.

Parks graciously took out all the rum from the only remaining supplies sent by the British in the company and distributed it to the brothers of Company E. After the First World War, it was clear that the brothers needed the anesthesia of alcohol.

"I know a little ghost, life is neither beautiful nor bad, he sleeps soundly in solitude and loneliness, and chirps in the morning with the larks, and the trenches of winter are cold and gloomy, and there is more bread and less rum, and he raises his pistol at himself, and there is no sound again, and you who have oil on your lips may also shout, and when the army passes before you, go back and pray! You'll never know where your young life has gone! ”

At this time, I don't know who drank too much there, and began to sing loudly. This is one of the most famous battlefield songs, "Suicide in the Trenches", and then gradually, all the people are singing this song loudly, they are hoarse, but they are full of passion, they are more like venting. It seems to be trying to vent all the musty emotions of being in the trenches.

"Mr. Gonorrhea, I love you to death!" White carried a bottle of wine, staggered and hugged Guaerry, who was about to pour wine into his throat when he was raising his glass, and then raised the bottle and said loudly, "For victory, a toast!" ”

Gerneir laughed, raised his glass and said, "Cheers to rum!" ”

Lip looked at the crazy brothers, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he took a sip of rum from his glass, and then turned sideways to Tybert and smiled, "God, it's crazy today!" ”

"Do you mean today's battle or the chaos of today?" Tybert chuckled and drained the glass in one gulp, "Or both!" ”

"I mean myself!" Li Pu laughed, "It's really cool to vent!" ”

"It's like just squatting on the toilet?" Tybert laughed, "Just kidding, but it really smells like that." ”

The brothers celebrated in the company, and Parks and Wales were constantly toasted by the brothers, of course, Parks didn't drink much, he knew the measure, especially in front of the brothers, both to celebrate and drink with them, but not to get drunk, and to keep a clear head at all times.

"Dick and Nick will come over." Standing in the corner, Wales smiled at Parks, who was smiling and watching his brothers revel, "They've got the news." ”

"That's pretty fast!" Parks smiled.

"No, I hung up on them." Wales laughed, "We've got to share it with them - happy!" ”

Parks nodded, he agreed with Wales' words, after all, E-Company was once the brainchild of Captain Winters, and he had a good relationship with Winters, so there was absolutely no problem with letting him join in the celebration.

The rum and the excitement of the night, and the fact that no one was battered or killed by it, made the brothers party to their heart's content, even crazier than a Christmas party.

"Sergeant, where are Lieutenant Parks?" When Winters walked into the company, he knew that his brothers were partying, because he met the guards on the outskirts of the company, they were carrying rum, and then he excitedly talked to Winters about the battle and the crazy celebration.

"There, I saw them there just now, maybe they're still there!" Lip smiled and gestured inside the room, where Parks and Wales had already walked into a separate room. But Lip was surprised to discover that in addition to the inseparable Winters, Winters was also followed by Lieutenant Spierre.

“…… If you want to find the Colonel, I know, I know; If you want to find the colonel, he is booze on the corporal's rum, I see, I see, gulping the corporal's rum, I see, he drinks the corporal's rum......" At this time there were brothers in the house singing songs that were circulated on the battlefield again.

"They're so much crazier than we were back then!" Nickerson squeezed through the crowd before smiling at Winters and Spiel, "But they deserve it." ”

"Very good!" Lieutenant Spierre nodded.

Winters smiled slightly, but did not speak. But many of the brothers recognized them only with their hazy drunken eyes, and saluted them. And greeted affectionately. And Winters kept nodding and smiling at them.

Nickerson couldn't help but smile and said, "Dick, it seems that even if you leave, you are still very popular here." Lacey hasn't taken away your popularity, they still respect you as much as they used to! ”

Winters shook his head, just smiling slightly, not minding the hint of ridicule in Nickerson's tone. Then he stopped at the small room that Lipp had pointed out and pushed the door open.

"Oh, Dick!" Welsh's exclamation came from inside the room, "I miss you so much." As he spoke, he stepped forward and gave Winters a hug. Then he turned to Nickson, "Oh, Nick, let's hug us too!" ”

"No, no, I don't want to be with an alcoholic!" Nickerson dodged sideways.

"Whoever says that drunkards can't hug drunkards?" Wales looked at Nickerson, then at Winters, and said innocently, "It looks like the U.S. Constitution is going to be revised!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter. After Parks and Winters greeted him, they quickly spotted Lieutenant Spiel behind Winters. Although he was a little surprised in his heart, he still walked over very politely, shook hands with Lieutenant Spear and smiled, "Lieutenant Spear, it's a pleasure to see you." I can't believe we'll meet on such an occasion. ”

Spiel nodded and smiled: "Me too, but I heard about your actions tonight, and it just so happened that Captain Winters was going to come over to take a look, and I thought, anyway, there is nothing to do, so I came with me, I hope it won't cause you any trouble!" ”

At this time the Welsh lieutenant poured several glasses of rum and gave each of them one. As he was about to pass the glass to Winters, he suddenly stopped, and then laughed to himself, "Looks like I've really drunk too much." Dick doesn't drink. He said that he was about to bring the glass back.

"No, I'm drinking tonight!" Winters stopped him and smiled slightly, "Give it to me, wine glass!" ”

"Say something?" Nickerson looked at Parks, "This Dressy proposes. ”

"You want me to say something about victory?" Parks shook his head and laughed, "Oh, don't do that. We're just drinking a glass of wine together. ”

"For e-company?" Wales burped and then looked at Nickerson with hazy eyes.

"For the brothers?" He looked around again, and saw that they were all looking at him with strange eyes, and couldn't help but laugh, "Is there something wrong with what I said?" ”

Nickerson couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "It seems that you are really good as a deputy company commander." Even drinking and being able to speak officially. Harry, it looks like you've improved a lot! At least not much better than the guys at the battalion headquarters! They'll just say, for the sake of Zink! For Taylor! God, why didn't they say it was for God's sake? ”

"Well, I like them!" Wales nodded and smiled.

"For the pirates!" Parks suddenly raised his glass and said, "For us rum-drinking pirates!" ”

"Nice offer, I like it!" Wales nodded, and several cups clinked together with a crisp sound, and everyone drank it down, even Winters.

"Congratulations! Les. Putting down his glass, Winters frowned, obviously he wasn't used to drinking, but he nodded at Parks, "This is the victory of the brothers of E-Company under your leadership. ”

"I told him a long time ago that Lacey was definitely the right choice to lead E Company. Even so, he kept an eye on your affairs at the battalion headquarters. It seems that he is really not suitable to work in the battalion headquarters, and being a company commander is his best choice! Nickerson kept teasing Winters, making jokes about him. But Winters didn't mind in the slightest.

"Captain Zink already knows about this!" Winters looked at Parks and said, "He called the battalion headquarters and thought there was a certain adventurism in this operation. And let Lieutenant Colonel Chase talk to you to make sure that there will be no more such unforeseen actions in the future. ”

"I know, I'm sorry, Dick, this might be bothering you!" Parks looked at Winters apologetically, "I can write a report, and I will explain the reason for this operation to the regiment headquarters." ”

Winters smiled and said, "No, no, Colonel Zinke finally explained, he said: If there is any action in the future, at least let him know in advance." ”

Parks nodded, this operation was indeed a bit reckless. Because of this, he did not report to the regiment headquarters for approval, otherwise, Zink would not have agreed to this operation. Of course, Colonel Zink's last words already indicated his attitude. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Parkes' operation, he had no intention of pursuing it.

"Well done!" Before leaving, Winters patted Parks on the shoulder, "That's what Lieutenant Colonel Chase said!" ”
