Chapter 270: Separation
Chapter 270 Separated
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the American artillery began to threaten. Cannonballs whizzed over the heads of the brothers. Densely landed in Foy Village, and suddenly lifted a row of earth-like wall curtains. Such dense artillery fire stunned the brothers of E Company, the density can be said to be very rare, even the artillery preparation during the market garden operation experienced by E Company is nothing more than that, it is obvious that the US military wants to show its firepower and strength through this.
The German tanks, under a few rounds of artillery fire, quickly withdrew from the village, and under the blow of large-caliber shells, they had only to be beaten. After the shelling, the three battalions attacked, and the resistance of the Germans was not very strong, they may have been blinded by this round of shelling, and before they could react, the soldiers of the third battalion rushed into the village.
"Damn it, why didn't we have such a dense artillery cover when we attacked?" Goneri couldn't help but grumble. In his opinion, it was too easy for the third battalion to occupy the village of Foy. The resistance of the Germans was very weak, most of them fled, and the rest, almost without resistance, laid down their arms. The power of the cannon really made these Germans lose the confidence to resist.
"Thank God," Toy said as he said beside Goneri, drawing a cross on his chest with his hand, and then looking up at Goneri, "I don't care about that, as long as I don't let us fight now, I'll be satisfied, that's the most practical, man, you have to learn to be patient, complaining won't make your life any better." ”
"Alright, well, you're right about everything, and hopefully the boss will be in time for our next operation, maybe we'll meet Momion or go to England, I like both. I don't want to stay in this damn snow and ice, I'm fed up, Joe, don't talk to me about that, I don't want to hear it, I just want to know when we'll be able to stop and rest" Goneri said, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn, I don't even know what I'm talking about, I'm confused now"
Toy smiled at him and said, "At least you know you're messed up." That's a good thing, Goneri. It means you're just confused, but your brain still works, but I know what the reason for your confusion is."
"What?" Goneri looked at Toy incredulously, "Joe, I don't know why I'm confused, you know. Hell, I don't believe you."
"Well, this is Parks Disappearing Syndrome, we have lost the pillar of our hearts, so there is always a sense of insecurity, and this presence makes our emotions seem easily agitated, agitated, and restless." Toy chuckled, "So you have Parks Disappearing Syndrome." Goneri, you need to see a doctor."
"What kind of nonsense is this" Goneri looked at Toy in surprise, "Joe, look, it's not me who is messing up right now, I'm glad you can keep me company, Parks Disappearing Syndrome, hell, what's that?" ”
"You really don't think your emotions have anything to do with the disappearance of the boss?" Toy looked at Guoneiri and smiled, "That's what Spina said, he's a doctor, he said it's a matter of dependence." The person we depend on is Parks, so he gave us a nice name for our mental state, 'Parks Disappearing Syndrome,' but I think he analyzed it a lot like that. Anyway, everyone has nothing to do, and it might be better to find an excuse."
Goneri nodded, agreeing. Although it is not as exaggerated as "Parks syndrome", he also admits that the loss of Captain Parkes's E Company does have a great emotional swing for the brothers, and it may also affect the operation.
It wasn't just Guanney who thought of this, many of the non-commissioned officers thought of it, and of course it was also in the minds of Captain Wales and Captain Winters. Faced with the mood swings of the E-Company brothers. They had to figure out a way to do it.
"The brothers are not in the right mood, there has to be a way," Captain Wales, who was at the battalion headquarters, said to Captain Winters helplessly, "If Lacey is not there, and we are ready to fight, this kind of emotion will kill many brothers."
"I know, Harry," Winters nodded, "they're going to have to get used to life without Lacey. Either way, all we have to do is stabilize the emotions of the brothers. Talk to your brothers about "Winters doesn't have a good idea."
"Now we're going to face the most pressure. We will exit the woods south of Foy at tomorrow point, make a detour to the left, occupy a village called Rekouna, and then rush through a snow-covered clearing to attack another small village, about kilometres east of Noville, at Coblou. And Lacey's injuries are unlikely to recover in these two days, so we have to make it clear to our brothers that we are about to face a battle without Captain Lacey. Harry, it's a lot of work to convince the brothers, but we have to do it," Captain Nickerson, who was standing next to the table, suddenly interjected.
"What?" Captain Wales suddenly shouted, he looked at Captain Winters and said, "Dick, why do we keep fighting, God, don't they know how long we've been fighting in this damn place?" What the hell," he scolded indignantly. But that's about it.
Winters was also very upset to hear such an order. To get to Kaublu he had to cross kilometers of snow and it was during the day with clear skies. Why attack at the Great Noon? Winters prefers to wait until the night is over, when the snow is just after dawn. But Eisenhower wanted to act, Montgomery wanted to act, Taylor wanted to act, and Zink wanted to act, so the battalion headquarters, D Company, E Company, and F Company had to obey orders.
"Harry, there's no point in saying that, we have to do what we are told," Winters said, patting the Welsh lieutenant on the arm, "There's still time, go talk to the brothers, they need someone to build up their faith for them now"
"Alright, well," the Welshman nodded somewhat reluctantly, and then muttered, "but damn it, who's going to build my confidence?" Hell," he said, nodding at Captain Winters and Captain Nickerson, before leaving in a huff. Captain Winters is right, no matter what, now we have to face reality, frustration will not change the situation, it will only make it worse.
"If Lacey is here, everything will not be a problem" Nickerson watched the Welsh lieutenant leave, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Now it seems that the situation is indeed a little unoptimistic"
Winters looked serious, listened to Nickson's words, and nodded: "Yes, if Lacey is here, everything will not be a problem." But what is Lacey doing now? ”
Nickerson looked at him and smiled: "I went to Bastone today, he has undergone surgery and removed a piece of shrapnel, the doctor said that his recovery is very good, it is estimated that he will be able to hold on to meet us in a few days"
Nickerson is right, Parkes's wound recovery is very good, after removing the shrapnel yesterday, when the bandage was changed today, some tissues have begun to heal, which shows that Parkes's physique is indeed very good, and also thanks to his usual training of the body, as a kind of special training in his previous life, he knows how to minimize his injuries in the inevitable injury. So although there is still shrapnel in his leg, although there is a relatively small penetrating wound, the improvement of his leg injury is indeed optimistic.
Dr. Luo came to the ambulance station again, and he came over to replenish some medicine and bandages and stuff. They are about to start entering, and he also wants to say goodbye to Renee, he knows that this time, he may not see Renee for a long time, unless he waits until the war is over, he comes back to find Renee, otherwise, this time is the farewell of the two.
"You're going to attack the villages of Rekauna and Kaublu?" Captain Parks got the news from Doctor Luo, and then nodded himself, this was originally the process of Company E, but now it was only a few days in advance. But there was a problem that now he had to be separated from his brothers in Company E, and he could not command Company E. You must know that when the original attack on Kaublu Village was made, it was a tough battle.
"Now Lieutenant Wales is the acting company commander, he is a good officer" Parks thought clearly, nodded at Officer Law and smiled, "I believe he will take care of his brothers, Eugene, don't worry, if possible, I will return to Company E as soon as I can move freely, and be with my brothers." ”
"Alright, sir" Doctor Luo knew that Captain Parks had no way back to Company E, so he just said a few random words, and then he said goodbye to Parks and found Renee, who was busy shuttling around the ambulance station.
"Renee," he smiled at her.
"Eugene?" Renee saw Medical Officer Luo, and a smile suddenly appeared on her tired face, "I didn't expect you to come, I thought you were out-" Saying that, Renee suddenly stopped, her smiling face gradually cooled, and the wounded soldier knew that the O Airborne Division had to attack, and E Company would have to leave sooner or later.
"I'm sorry, Renee, I was meant to tell you," Dr. Luo was a little sad, "we're going to be out tomorrow, and I want to come over and refill some medicine or something." You know—"
Renee glanced at him gloomily, then nodded silently, and the two were stunned for a while before Renee said, "Come with me" As she spoke, she led Doctor Luo to the room containing the substances.
With a "clang", the door slammed shut, Renee suddenly pounced on him like crazy, and then hooked his hands around Dr. Luo's neck, and kissed his plump lips, just like the first time they did, in this place, kissing each other like crazy. Wheezing, their nostrils were hot and steaming, and they were greedily sucking each other.
I don't know when, the two finally separated, Renee's ruddy face faintly revealed sadness, long eyelashes drooping, and a gentle occasional blink of an eye, with a drop of dewdrops as wet.
"This is what you want" Renee handed a cardboard box to Dr. Luo, and then silently walked to the door, her hand slowly strained, and then she heard a soft "click" sound, and the door slowly opened.
"Remember my words, I'll be back" Dr. Luo hugged the cardboard box and watched Renee slowly leave the room, her body only paused slightly after hearing Dr. Luo's words. Someone in the distance was shouting, "Nurse, nurse, nurse is needed here," she pursed her lips and trotted all the way to the place where the shouting was coming from without looking back.
On the day of 945, Company E, under the leadership of the company commander, Captain Wales, began to get ready, silently tidying up their outfits and checking their guns and ammunition.
Joe? Thoy polished his bayonet and shined a cold glow against the snow. He looked at the snow in the distance, then straightened up and shouted to Goneri, who was carrying his rifle, "Let's go, Gurnery" Beside him, there were already a group of brothers lined up in columns, and began to move forward.
