"Congratulations, Lacey!" Winters smiled and patted Parks' arm, then shook his hand, "Good job!" ”

"Thanks, Dick!" Parks smiled, then leaned in to Winters and said, "What about the players?" ”

Winters looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will fight for their rewards, I believe there will be an answer soon, and some of them will also be promoted, but it depends on how your report is written." ”

"It will please Colonel Zinke." Parks smiled.

After a few more conversations, Winters took his leave, and he and Nickerson left, leaving Wales behind.

"Congratulations, Lieutenant!" Tybert smiled, he was happy for Parks from the bottom of his heart. And it's not just him, the brothers here are happy with the news.

"It makes me a little jealous of him!" Wales laughed and said, "You know, he's the fastest to rise, it's only been a long time, we used to call him Sergeant Parks before D, and now he's a lieutenant." ”

"It's just luck, Harry!" Parks grinned and patted him on the shoulder, "Together?" ”

Wales nodded and said, "Well, I also want to feel the joy of a row, of course, it would be better if there was roast beef to entertain, I heard that there is beef in a row?" ”

By the morning of the next day, Company E had moved into a defensive position south of Carrington.

"Guys, dig your foxholes, as well as our fortifications. Try to keep a low profile, don't make too much noise, and try to keep your head level with your crotch. The Germans liked the guys who had their heads held high in the air, which gave them a target to practice shooting. Parks instructed his brothers in the platoon as he made his rounds.

"Paikondy, put away your pistol, don't fiddle with that guy," Parks shouted to Paikanti, who was showing off in front of the gang, "Don't put a loaded pistol in your pocket, it's stupid." Go dig your foxhole, it only covers your two feet, hurry, hurry, man! ”

"Got it! Lieutenant! Paikanti withdrew the bullet, put Ruger away, and walked towards his position, and began to dig foxholes, muttering, "I thought the lieutenant was my mother!" ”

"He's thinking about you! Paikanti! "If you didn't fiddle with that damn pistol, you wouldn't have heard anything like that, knowing that you ran almost the entire line of E Company, showing off your pistol to everyone." Hubl said, his eyes glancing at Paikanti's trouser pocket.

"Can I consider this jealousy?" Paikanti smiled, "Don't say you're not tempted at all. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm tempted, but I'll get one sooner or later! Damn it! After saying that, Hubl ignored Paikanti and dug the pit desperately, lifting the dirt everywhere.

It took a few days for the brothers of Company E to build their positions firmly, and then they dug foxholes, hid in them, and watched cautiously over the positions of the Germans opposite. But neither army launched an infantry attack, only occasional sporadic artillery bombardment.

Early the next morning, Lutz arrived at the position with a large bag of letters.

"Oh - Malachi, pink envelopes, and the smell of perfume!" Luz placed the large package on the ground, then held up a letter, squinting at Malach and smiling, "I feel that there is a picture in it, maybe you can show us, is it oversized boobs?" I like it. As he spoke, he pretended to tear open the envelope.

Marachi ran over, snatched the envelope and said excitedly: "Don't even think about it, Lutz, you are rude, the key reason why you can't find a girlfriend!" ”

"No, actually, I'm not worried about my girlfriend at all!" Lutz laughed, and then imitated General Taylor's tone: "Soldiers, if you liberate France, then here are good wine and beautiful women. But you have to take it easy, you have to keep your strength, you have to beat the Germans, go ahead, go and rescue the beautiful women who are imprisoned by the Germans! ”

At this time, many brothers gathered around, and they were picking up their letters.

"Lieutenant, yours, like Maraqi's, smells of perfume!" Luz shouted at Parks, who was in the foxhole, "I don't have to smell it, I can see it with my eyes!" Lutz said, walking over and handing the letter to Parks.

"Thanks, Luz!" Parks took the letter, not Virginia's, but Jennifer's. The letter came as a surprise to Parks, as Jennifer had rarely written to herself since she left the Takoya base.

"Dear Lacey!" Parks read it softly, then couldn't help but smile and continue to look down, "I originally wanted to wait until after graduation to write this letter to you, but I really couldn't help it. I miss you, Lacey, I think I'm in love with you! I thought I would miss you less because of your departure, but I couldn't do it......"

“…… I'm coming to the end of my studies, I'm doing an internship at a bank in Hamanton, I love it, it gives me passion, I think I'll be here after I graduate, it's hard for me to ......give up."

“…… Forget California, when the war is over, we will live here together, find our passion here, this is the call of me, a woman who loves you, I hope you can think carefully, and my feelings! Love you Jennifer......"

Parks couldn't help frowning, Jennifer seemed to forget what she had said about the tavern. But it's actually her own choice, maybe she's more interested in money. Parks smiled wryly, then put the letter away and put it in his jacket pocket, except that he didn't smell the purported scent in Lutz's mouth the whole time.

Then he suddenly saw Donnat passing by his foxhole, and he seemed to be depressed. He had a letter in his hand, and it had been opened.

Donnett was in a bad mood, and it had a lot to do with the letter he got today.

Lutz handed him a letter addressed to Brown. And Brown had already died in the battle against Carrington the other day. But the letter was written before his sacrifice. It was written by his wife.

"Donnett!" Parks screamed, wanting to find out what was wrong with this guy.

Donnatt didn't seem to hear, and he walked past Parks' foxhole and continued on. Parks had to raise his voice again and shouted, "Private Donnet!" Wait a minute. ”

"What?" Donnatt finally heard the scream and reacted, and he looked at Parks in confusion as he crawled out of the foxhole, "Any orders?" Lieutenant. ”

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, see how idle you are now." Parks nodded at him, "Come to the foxhole, you're an easy target for the Germans." ”

Donald nodded, then jumped with Parks into his foxhole.

"Your letter?" Parks looked at the letter in his hand and asked.

Donnatt shook his head and said, "No, Lieutenant, it's Brown's letter!" Then he looked into Parks' eyes and said, "It was written by his wife, and it was sent before he died!" It's only now that I'm in e-company. ”

"What are you going to do?" Parks asked, staring at him.

Donnat shook his head, a little dazed: "I don't know, lieutenant, take a look!" ”

Parks took the letter, read it currily, and then fell silent. In the letter, Brown's wife, Tang Ruili, told Brown the good news that their baby had arrived and hoped that Brown would return safely.

"Lieutenant, what do you think I should do?" Donnatt shook his head gloomily, "It's too cruel for her to believe that the news of Brown's death will be notified to his wife immediately." And...... I also have a letter from Brown to his wife, but it's covered in his blood, and I really don't know what to do? Lieutenant! Donnatt's voice choked up a little as he spoke.

"Tell her what happened, just say that Brown died heroically in a battle, that he was the pride of the United States, that he was our hero, and that he told him so, and then send the letter back to her or give it to him when the war is over." Parks was silent for a moment, then spoke to Donnet.

"That's it?" Donnatt muttered.

"That's it, we're going to have a sequel fight, so that's all we have to do!" Parks patted him on the shoulder, "You've done well enough, Donnatt!" ”

Donald nodded, and he silently got up, then walked towards his foxhole.

Parks watched him leave, and then into his own foxhole, and he suddenly had a strange feeling, if he died in battle one day, would there be another world waiting for him, like the miracle of his own world? He smiled wryly and shook his head, trying to put this somewhat bastard thought out of his mind.

"Lieutenant!" At this moment there was a man behind him calling him, and he looked back to see that it was White, who was crouching not far from the Parkes paratrooper pit.

"What's wrong? White! Parks smiled at him.

"Lieutenant Winters asked you to find a few volunteers and form a small detachment to go on a reconnaissance mission at noon." White laughed, "I want to ask, can you let me go?" ”

Parks looked at him and shook his head, "Forget it, White, you just performed a difficult mission, so it's better to stay here and I'll find another volunteer." ”

Parks gathered a platoon of soldiers and then came up with this reconnaissance mission: "Lieutenant Winters wants volunteers. Does anyone want to? Parks looked around at his brothers.

But no one volunteered. The reconnaissance mission obviously has no good fruit to eat, and maybe he will meet the German reconnaissance team and give away his own surname.

"Lieutenant, are you leading the team personally?" Bloy suddenly interjected, "I want to follow you on a mission!" ”
