Chapter 194: Spiel's Thoughts

Lieutenant Spierre heard about this when he was at the battalion headquarters, when the battalion headquarters phone was answered by Captain Winters, and the caller was Welsh Lieutenant, who told Winters on the phone about the actions of E Company this evening, and Lieutenant Spierre heard a general idea: Lieutenant Parks led his brothers of E Company to cross the embankment at night and attack a German artillery company and an infantry company. And on his side, no one died, only three minor injuries.

This undoubtedly made some waves in Spiel's heart. He served as a platoon commander in D Company, and he was not brave in battle, charging into battle, regardless of personal safety, and always achieved some results. But compared to Parks now, none of this is anything at all. Obviously, he didn't want to stick to the old ways, and he also wanted to use tactics to break up the German position. But he felt that he was not as lucky as Parks, because his company commander would always tell him not to do this, not to do that, to follow orders, and not to think about those things that were in the limelight. But Parks was always able to get Winters' understanding and even help.

Why can't you be like Parks? After asking himself this, Spear came to the conclusion that he did not have a company commander like Winters. And now Winters has been promoted to the battalion headquarters. So who else is a company commander like Winters now? Obviously, Parks himself is that kind of person, and he must be that kind of company commander.

Maybe I can think of a way, otherwise, I can get a medal by mixing in Company D like this, but can that medal be compared to the Distinguished Service Cross and the Congressional Medal of Honor? Obviously not. The highest medal he has now received is the Silver Star. Perhaps this is his highest medal, at least in D-Company. This is absolutely unacceptable to Spiel, who is pursuing honor. War was a way for him to pursue the highest honors.

He didn't care about the soldiers who were complaining about the war, scratching, fearful and even deserters, he was eager to fight, and he thought that this was the best way for a man to pursue honor. What's more, it can also slaughter those Germans who are usually said to hate the most. Maybe there is another possibility, he suddenly has a little hope, what if he can go to E-company?

He was encouraged by the idea, but soon became a little discouraged. Because it's somewhat difficult, and it's very difficult. It is not possible to raise this on its own, unless the battalion or regiment headquarters is temporarily transferred for some need.

While Spear was in his thoughts, Winters had already finished the call, and he called out to Lieutenant Nickerson in the battalion headquarters with a smile on his face, "Nick, let's go, Parks, they're back!" ”

Obviously, Nickerson and Winters already knew that Parks was moving, and before they did, Parks did quietly reveal this meaning.

There was no one else in the battalion headquarters, and Battalion Commander Chase went to the regimental headquarters, with a couple of staff officers. Spiel had come to the battalion headquarters to deliver the information on the weapons and ammunition that Company D needed to be replenished during this period.

"Captain Winters!" Winters was about to leave when a voice suddenly came from behind him, calling him very quickly.

Winters stopped, turned to look at Lieutenant Spiel and smiled, "What's the matter?" Lieutenant Spierre! ”

Spiel nodded and smiled, "I heard some of your calls just now. ”

"So—" Winters shrugged his shoulders at him, his expression confused.

"If it doesn't make things difficult for you, I want to go to the E-Lian Division, you know, I just want to feel the atmosphere there. We've been bored for a while. Stay in that damn trench every day, and go out on patrol missions that are hunted by the Germans at any time. "So—I want to feel it." ”

"Why not?" Nickerson answered in Winters' place, then shook his head at Spiel and said, "Let's go, together!" ”

The frenzied atmosphere of E-Company greatly stimulated Spiel. When you think about your own company, it is difficult to find any passion beyond the indifference, sorrow, and despair of the turtle cowering in the trenches. The brothers of the company were bombarded by the German artillery and some could not find the north.

"It's exciting!" Spiel said with a smile.

"This is e-company! Speirs! Nickerson seemed to have a deliberately ostentatious tone, and the three of them quickly found Parks' room, and several of them had a drink together.

Spiel didn't care what Parks and Winters said. He just cares when he will be able to formulate his own tactical battles like E Company. Let yourself fully compete with the Germans and fight heartily.

Parks glanced at Spiel a few times, intentionally or unintentionally. He looked at the way he looked, and it was clear that he knew what it really meant for Snowstone to follow Winters this time.

He knew that Spiel was not just cold on the outside, but also a man who was eager to fight passionately, a man who was eager for honor, even if this person had some minor faults, such as liking to collect money, but this did not hide the essence of being a good officer. In Parks' heart, he had a more important position in the E Company in his previous life.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lieutenant Spierre!" Parks politely shook his hand.

"Me too!" Spiel nodded, then smiled, "I hope my arrival doesn't bother you!" ”

"How so?" Parks smiled slightly, "Actually, I'm very impressed with you. I admired your performance in the battle at Brekut Manor, so I easily remembered you! ”

Spiel smiled and said, "Compared to your achievements, that-"

"No, no, Lieutenant Spierre, I think you're a very good officer, eager to fight, with your own unique tactical understanding, and I know that very well!" Parks quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "Actually, I've been looking forward to the day when I can cooperate with your company or you and fight together, it must be a very wonderful moment!" ”

"There will definitely be a chance. I'm looking forward to it! Spiel nodded, that was what he was talking about. Then he and Winters and Nickerson said goodbye to Parks.

"What do you think of Spiel?" Parks and Wales sent them out the door, then watched them disappear into the path, and Parks turned his head to Welsh Road.

"What do you want to say? Or what aspect of him do you want to refer to? Wales suddenly looked at Parks and smiled, "He's a good officer, I don't know much about that." But it can be seen that he has a desire to fight in his heart. I like such people! ”

"I like him too, hehe!" Parks nodded, and walked back to the company with Wales. He knew that Spear would definitely not stop by to come here today.

"If he can get along well with his brothers, it will be even better!" Parks muttered under his breath.

"What?" Wales glanced at him, then laughed, "Lacey, I know what you're up to, don't even think about it, that's not something you're thinking about." We did a good job tonight, but we were still a bit risky, and if we were defeated, Colonel Zink would not be comfortable. Even if it were, he would definitely have an idea in his heart. Don't make a fuss at this time! ”

"I know!" Parks Road.

"What do you know?"

"I know that at this time, I shouldn't give Colonel Sink any trouble." Parks grinned, then walked over to the table and poured a glass of wine, looked at him and shrugged his shoulders, "But Dick can!" ”

"God!" Wales shook his head, "I feel so sorry for Dick. ”

"Me too!" Parks smiled, "But you know, I'm definitely not going to bring it up. But as you know, after Compton's injury, there was a lack of a platoon commander in the third platoon, and I really hadn't thought about who to replace him. ”

"What if Compton comes back?"

"I've been wondering if the company needs someone to share some of the burden for you. Harry, Compton would be a good helper for you, don't you think? ”

"Perhaps! Now that you've thought it through, what else can I say, but I think it's better to be cautious about this matter. Wales still stuck to their guns.

"Well, I'll listen to you!" Parks nodded.

The three Winters returned to the battalion headquarters. Spierre stayed at the battalion headquarters for a while, and then prepared to take his leave. He lingered in the doorway for a moment, and then, as if he had said something, he looked up at Winters and said, "Captain! ”

Winters glanced at him and nodded, "What's the matter?" Lieutenant Spierre! "I envy the brothers of E-Company." "I mean the way they fight, I think it's very close to some of my ideas, and my God, I suddenly had the idea that if I could go to Company E and command one of the platoons, would I be able to do what Parks did?" ”

Then he smiled as if he was laughing at himself: "Of course, that's just my imagination, that's impossible, I can't leave the brothers of Company D, I'm still the platoon commander!" ”

"I know!" Winters just nodded slightly.

"So!" Lieutenant Spierre shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and smiled, "I'm going to have to go even, I've been out for so long, maybe it's time for our patrol!" So saying, he opened the door, and without further hesitation, left.

Winters couldn't help but shake his head slightly as he watched Spiel leave.

"How?" Nickerson looked at Winters and smiled, "Actually, I already guessed his mind." I'm sure you know that too. Why not tell him that you can help him figure it out? Lacey's company was still one platoon commander short, and since Buck's injury, it had been replaced by Sergeant Tybert, and now that we had officers, this position could not be missing for long. Rather than having Captain Zinke send a wreck at will, it's better to let Spiel do it, which is reassuring! ”

Winters shook his head and said, "Nick, this is not something I should do as a staff officer. ”

"But you can advise!" Nickerson chuckled.

"You can suggest the same!" Winters couldn't help but shake his head, "Then we'll have to wait for a while!" ”
