Things went surprisingly well. Colonel Zink had no intention of pursuing the case at all, and Parks' explanation made sense. The captured Germans tried to escape with their guns and were shot dead by Liegotte. Originally, this excuse was not that Parks intended to help Lee Gotte pass. But before that, Parks and Lee Gotte talked.

"I want an explanation!" Parks said truthfully to Legot, "No matter how many prisoners you kill, if you have enough reasons to convince me, this matter is over." ”

Li Gao nodded and said: "They want to seize the gun and escape, which Matthews, Matthew, and Jericho can testify to." ”

Although Parks didn't believe Leegot's words, he still asked Matthews, Matthew, and Jericho about it. Of course, all three of them did the same as Liegaut said, and the Germans grabbed their guns and fled. With three people testifying, everything is easy to say.

This matter was never mentioned again, but in the hearts of Matthews, Matthew, and Jericho, Li Gaot was obviously a ruthless character, and when he got along with such a person, he had to sleep with one eye open. This also made them unconsciously avoid Li Gaote.

A few days after this incident. Parks sat comfortably in the company, his legs crossed on the desk, leaning back comfortably in the chair, leaning against the wall, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, taking a sip, and then placing it on the stool beside him.

"I can hardly believe that you have passed the test so smoothly. But this guy can't be so indulgent with him. It's going to make his temper worse! Wales was looking at a map of the battle, and he was casually talking to Parks with a cup of coffee.

"Colonel Zink doesn't care about these things, he only cares about who can go to war and who can make him proud!" Parks closed his eyes and recuperated, "Harry, what are your plans if the war ends?" ”

"The end of the war?" Wales was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Parks with his eyes closed, and smiled, "It's still far away, I haven't even thought about it." Maybe marry Betty and have a few children. Let's run a small shop or something, but I won't think about serving in the army anymore. ”

"What about you? Les! Wales looked at Parks and said, "Which woman are you going to marry?" Tavern girl or arms dealer's daughter? ”

"It's not the way!" Parks opened his eyes and smiled at him, "If I'm greedy, can I marry both?" I may continue to stay in the army for you. You know, I don't have any strengths, only in the military, I might find a little bit of a useful feeling. Maybe I'll choose one of them to get married and do something I want to do. ”

"You're such a greedy fellow!" Wales shook his head and smiled, "What a jealous guy too!" ”

Parks nodded, "yes, sometimes life is so luxurious. Just as we are still at war with the Germans, but we are already planning our post-war life. ”

"For this, I have to respect you!" Wales said and raised his coffee cup to Parks, gesturing slightly.

The two gossiped for a while, when the phone on the table rang. Wales picked up the earpiece. Parks watched as he kept nodding his head and making reassurances.

"What's the matter? Battalion? Parks put his leg down.

Wales shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Yes, the artillery of the Germans has been replenished again." The whole regiment headquarters is holding a meeting of company officers, and I think we need to be ready. ”

Parks and Wales drove to the regimental headquarters, where officers were already waiting in a makeshift Dutchman room. Captain Winters and Captain Nickerson had already arrived. They raised their hands to Parks.

"Hey, Dick," Wales and Parks squeezed over and gestured to the two of them, "Hey, Nick! ”

"Are the Germans going to attack us?" Wales sat down next to Winters and Nickerson and glanced at Nickerson.

"That's the obvious problem. Colonel Zinke knew this time was extraordinary. Nickerson said to the two, "The Germans' 363rd Division has been transferred here, and they will replace the original troops." This division was fully equipped and was the elite of the SS. It is clear that they have larger conspiracies and intentions. ”

"Maybe they can't tolerate this American and British on this island!" Parks nodded and smiled, "They're going to attack the entire line." It's obvious. ”

"Quite right!" Winters nodded.

And that's exactly what happened. Lieutenant Colonel Striele emphasized the situation of the German 363rd Division throughout the meeting, and it seems that the Allies did a good job of intelligence against the German army. It includes the division's establishment, personnel, commanders, and weapons and equipment.

"The most difficult thing for us to predict now is the timing of the German offensive." After Stryll had finished speaking, Colonel Zinke explained to the officers himself, "Their main force is now mostly concentrated on the left flank of our regiment, which is the main line of defense of the 1st and 2nd Battalions. It was clear that their attack on our two battalions was definitely not a limited local offensive counterattack. They want to get us all out of this island, that's what they're really for, and now, guys, we're facing a major test. ”

"We have no other troops to support us except material and ammunition support, we are short on manpower, and the Allies, under the leadership of Generals Blaired and Patton, are attacking eastward, and they need more men than we do. So it's up to us to do everything here. If we lose this island, we will lose a point of support for the German army, and we will face a much greater dilemma in the future than we do now. Lieutenant Colonel Stryll continued to explain to the officers.

"The Germans will never tell us when they will attack. They never fight us as openly as knights, don't expect them to, that's for sure! Colonel Zink's words eased some of the tension, and the officers let out a slight laugh.

"Our patrols will be much larger and more extensive, even down to areas actually controlled by the Germans." Stryll continued, "So when a large-scale anomalous move by the Germans was discovered, that was the beginning of the German offensive. ”

"It's something we have to do now, and it's important! We are fighting passively, we must be spirited! "The officers of the battalion and company units must personally go to their own defense line to supervise the soldiers, don't think that the regimental headquarters does not know, the soldiers are in a bad mood, they are slacking off on their work!" ”

"Don't wait until the Germans call, they're still rolling the dice and getting drunk." Striele said this, then nodded at Colonel Zink.

"Alright, disband!" Colonel Zinke waved his hand. He frowned, the arrangement of the Germans annoyed him a little. But he could not spare more men to defend against the German attack.

Winters and the others stood up and prepared to leave.

"Are we just sitting still?" Wales shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly.

"So you have to be vigilant!" Nickerson smiled at him, "Don't let the GIs in the trenches become gamblers and drunkards, if you find the Germans in the first moment, you will save a lot of people!" ”

"What do you think, Lacey?" Winters suddenly said to Parks.

Parks glanced at Winters and smiled, "What? Do you mean the German army or the arrangement of Colonel Zinke? ”

"You know!" Winters smiled at him slightly, as if to read his mind.

"Do you have a better way?" "Our biggest problem is our lack of manpower, and the Germans have a division of men that are almost two or three times as many," Parks said to Winters. Courage alone cannot defend this. Moreover, we were still passively waiting for the German attack. ”

Winters nodded, "I really can't think of a good way!" ”

"If the Germans could tell us when they attacked, then we would be much better!" Parks smiled, "At least we'll be prepared." ”

"Do you have a way?" Winters' eyes lit up as he looked at Parks, a smile on his face.

"I don't know if it's possible!" Parks thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly.

Winters suddenly had a great deal of hope, while Nickerson and Wales stared at Parks with wide eyes, and it was clear that it was impossible for the Germans to take the initiative to tell them the time of the battle. But they also knew that Parks had created one miracle after another, which gave them another glimmer of hope for him.

"Okay, don't sell it!" Wales is a bit anxious.

"The Germans must be wondering now if we are waiting for their attack with fear?" Parks smiled at Winters and said, "If you're their commander!" ”

"Of course!" Winters nodded, "Now that the war is in your own hands, this is a very obvious psychology. ”

"Surely they would not have imagined that the Americans would attack them in advance. Because it's an advantage for them, there's no reason for us to do that! Parks continued.

"Well, you tell the plan one at a time!" Nickerson was also intrigued by Parks.

"Would they think that we would attack them if we were to contact the British artillery before the Germans attacked, hit the area where the main Germans were concentrated, and at the same time arrange for troops to surprise them?" Parks paused and coughed dryly, knowing that the plan also had a certain adventurous surname.

"The Germans would then be faced with two choices, either they would decide that their plans had changed and attack ahead of schedule, or they would go on the defensive against us. So we were faced with two choices, if the Germans were only on the defensive, then we would have to try to attack, and then quickly retreat to our own lines. The other is that the Germans are suddenly attacked, and if we attack in advance, our preparations will appear to be sufficient! Parks continued.

"It's actually quite simple. The Germans didn't want us to know the time of their attack, so we let them tell us the time with their unexpected attack. ”

Winters pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's a bit risky, but it's worth trying." It's better than doing nothing and waiting! ”
