Chapter 30 Combat Training

"It's a paradise, the service in the military community is like a good hotel, and the movie theater is wonderful!" White threw his whole body into the bed in the barracks, "And this comfortable bed and barracks, is this a gift from Colonel Zink?" It's really like a dream! ”

"I bet it's filled with this velvet, it's the first time I've ever had such a soft pillow!" Kaber patted the pillow and smirked.

"Come on, this is for you!" Tippo threw his pillow over, hitting Kaber on the head, and there was a burst of laughter. Then Moore threw the pillow at him again.

"Alright, alright, see how I clean you up!" Kaber laughed, twisted the pillow up, jumped barefoot onto Moore's bed, and slammed his head hard. A pillow fight broke out in the barracks.

"It's a new beginning, guys, we've crossed another hurdle." Parks laughed and watched them make a fuss in the barracks, even though as a sergeant major, he had the right to make them stop. But Parks didn't do that, the joy was simple, the brothers needed optimism to cope with the increasingly complex training.

As a result, most of the people of Company E were exhausted that night, and knew that it was late at night that all the barracks gradually quieted down, and the camp gradually fell silent in the night.

"Lutz!" Parks lowered his voice, then gestured, "You and Tipper are attacking from the right." Act at my command. Once you have captured the opponent's first line of defense, immediately move to the back and feint! ”

Luz nodded, and went to the right with Tebpo.

"Christenson and Kharber draw fire from the left and watch my gestures. Find cover yourself and take care to suppress the opposing fire with machine guns. Once the first line of defense is captured, immediately come over and suppress the fire of the opponent's second line of defense from the front. Parks gestured to the two of them. Christenson and Kaber quietly turned to the left.

Parks immediately said to White, Moore, and the others, "Follow me, watch my gestures and order action!" ”

In front of Parks were two buildings, and in front of it was a bungalow, all of which had empty shelves left, and there were several walls out of it, and there was nothing to obstruct, and even the doors and windows were removed. Behind the doors and windows, a faint figure swayed.

Parks raised his hand to Luz on his left and Christenson on his right, and Christenson's machine gun immediately fired. Suddenly there was a loud gunshot, and the people in the building raised their guns and shot desperately at Christenson.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Luz and the others had circled to the right, Parks began to attract the attention of the right side of the building, and immediately signaled and rushed towards the building with the rest of the people.

It was clear that the people in the building were already a little confused, suppressed by the machine guns, and constantly harassed by Lutz, who had neglected the frontal defense, and coupled with the rapid speed of Parks' rapid advance, by the time they woke up from the chaos, Parks had approached the gate, and then threw a smoking grenade into the building.

After clearing the first room, Parks signaled to the left and right, and Rutz began to turn to the rear and began to feint and continue to attract fire, while Christensen moved the machine gun mount closer, and the fire continued to provide support. Suppress the machine-gun fire of the opponent's second line of defense.

"Don't move!" Parks burst into the second room and raised his gun, "You're captured, guys! ”

At this time, White and Moore and others also rushed over.

"White, stay here, Moore, you take the rest of the men, rendezvous with Lutz, and then storm from behind, they are now attracted by our frontal attack!" Parks waved at Lutz decisively, turning their feints into actual attacks.

"There is no suspense in this scene!" Lieutenant Winster, who was watching from a distance, put down his binoculars and said to Nickerson, who was holding up the binoculars to observe, "Parks, they've won!" ”

"You're right!" Nickerson nodded, "He's a true tactician. ”

This is a regular training to train the soldiers of Company E in the ability to attack the fortified positions. Obviously, the squad led by Parks showed high quality and ability during the exercise.

"He's got his opponent in a circle." Nickerson couldn't help but laugh, "I really don't know what kind of surprise he can bring us." Now I'm really curious about him. It's a pity that he didn't go to military school, otherwise he must have been an outstanding leader. ”

"They're back, let's go check it out!" Instead of answering Nickerson's question directly, Winster walked over to Parks and the others, who were walking over with the "captives".

"Now I really admire you, Parks! You can do just anything. White laughed.

"Hey, hey, Kaber, don't really treat us like captives!" Gone was unfortunate enough to be one of Parkes' rivals, so he had a big opinion of how Caber was alive in front of him.

"Oh, Mr. Gonorrhea, who are you talking to? Have you forgotten that you have died in the battle just now? Karber didn't mind at all, but teased again.

"Damn it!" Goneri had no choice but to complain secretly. Then he said to Parks, "You're cunning enough to fool us, you conspirator!" ”

Parks laughed and said, "Don't complain, you should be glad you're not a German devil!" It's not about playing tricks, it's about art, you know, the art of war, maybe you should have a good lesson. ”

"Good thing I'm in the same league as you!" Goneri rolled his eyes.

At this time, they saw Winster and Nickerson approaching, and the group hurriedly stopped and saluted them.

"Take a break!" Winster smiled and nodded, "You guys did a great job!" Disband! ”

The group cheered and walked away, and Parks was about to leave when he heard Lieutenant Winster shouting, "Parks, can you wait?" ”

Parks paused, then turned to Winster and said, "Sir, do you have any orders?" ”

"You used your tactics very well and managed to deceive your opponent!" Winster Road.

"Thank you, sir!" Parks didn't know what Winster meant, and it was definitely not just to praise himself for a few words, so he stared patiently at Winster's words.

"I hope that in the future, you can use your wisdom to help your brothers through some difficulties. And of course, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Do you understand? In fact, when Winster said this, he didn't expect Parks to understand anything, but he couldn't help but say it.

Parks, however, understood what he was thinking, and Winster was afraid that in the future, if there was a situation where Sauber commanded indiscriminately, then he would make sure that his brother would not suffer more losses as much as possible. But what Parks knew, Winster's worries were unnecessary, because he knew that in the end, the result of the conflict between Winster and Sauber was that Winster won, and Sauber was transferred.

"I see, Lieutenant!" Parks saluted him solemnly. That's why he admired Winster.

"Okay, it's okay, let's disband!" Winster nodded.

Parks turned to leave, and without taking two steps, was stopped by Winster again.

"Sir?" Parks waited for Winster's orders.

"Was your tactic a flash of inspiration?" Winster Road.

Parks nodded, "Yes, sir, as a commander, I must make my own judgment on the situation and develop an effective tactical plan for the trip, and I will not let my brothers take risks easily." ”

"Well, that's right," Winster smiled, "especially since Lutz's transition from a feint to a strong attack is very good, and it's very instructive, you've done a great job!" ”

Parks smiled and said: "I have read a military book, which emphasizes a little 'real is virtual, virtual is real', virtual and real are not the norm, but interchangeable, use real to fight virtual, then the other party will be easily captured." ”

Winster's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding his head again and again: "Very wonderful theory, it's simply genius thinking, can you tell me, what kind of military book is this?" ”

Parks smiled and said, "The Art of War, written by a very famous military strategist in ancient China. ”

"Then I'll have to take a look!" Winster Road.

"This ......," Parks hesitated, "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, this book isn't common in America these days." Maybe you can see it in Europe, but you have to be lucky. Parks is telling the truth, although the West studied the Art of War relatively early, the Americas were a little late, and it was not until after the end of World War II that more people in the United States studied the Art of War. And before that, there was no relevant writing.

Winster was obviously disappointed, but he remembered the name of the book, and he even paid special attention to such works on the battlefields of Europe, and finally found him an early European translation of The Art of War, which he has always regarded as one of his go-to books on his desk.

At present, the officers and men of Company E have already begun training in tackling tough battles, and they have used empty cartridges and smoking grenades to demonstrate over and over again the various situations that may be encountered in the course of tackling tough battles.

Although the training was a bit more complicated, the interest of the brothers was high, and they had time to go to Columbus for fun.
