Chapter 35: Again Received

The Red Army's maneuver against the Blues was conducted in a vast and remote area of forested hills and mountains. Company E made three parachute drops. But parachuting in the mountains is definitely much worse than in the plains. In particular, the last parachute landing made the brothers of E Company remember it vividly and painfully.

The C-47 transport plane tossed badly in the hot air flow rising from the mountains. Everybody felt terrible. The big cow sits in the innermost and the most aggrieved position. So he couldn't stand it for the first time.

"I can't hold it back!" He only said that, and then vomited, and the smell of rancid acid suddenly spread through the stuffy cabin. The others just looked at it, but they couldn't bear it anymore and vomited. When the green light came on, everyone couldn't wait to jump out. Of course, that's not all. They also had long treks and wading through water, marching at night, and seizing enemy camps. Anyway, by the end of the exercise, everyone was dirty, and there was a smell of rot.

At the end of the exercise, Company E was notified that the commander of the Airborne Division, Major General William C. Lee, had personally come to commend them. This excites a lot of people.

When Parks learned of this, he knew that Brigadier General Lee had been promoted to major general. The performance of the airborne division was recognized by the above, which was the main reason for his promotion.

"Brothers of Company E, you have tenacious and outstanding performance, sound tactical principles, and clearly well-trained fighters." General Li looked at this group of soldiers who were extremely tired, but had high morale, and said confidently, "From the tests ahead, we will further see your excellent training and leadership skills." ”

The brothers of E Company stood tall and straight, they were absolutely full of respect for Major General Li, and his words could bring them higher morale and courage.

Colonel Sink and Major Horton, as escorts, looked even more pleased. Zink's face even glowed red. This is definitely the glory of the regiment. He also saw the fighting spirit of the soldiers of Company E, and was deeply proud of their performance.

When the team was disbanded and the officers left, many people were still excited. They feel that they can be affirmed, and the losses they have suffered these days are worth it. Even the most taciturn of Ro Cooper had a rare smile.

"This is our Supreme Commander!" "You don't know, when he smiles at me, I can't guarantee that I'm going to give him a smile in return." ”

Goneri smiled strangely on the side: "Kaber, did he smile at you?" It seems to be smiling at me when I look at it. Don't be sentimental, Major General Li is smiling at all our brothers. ”

Unconvinced, Caber was about to retort when a sergeant from the regimental headquarters came up and shouted, "Do you know where Sergeant Les Parks is?" ”

"Parks!" Kaber shouted into the barracks.

The barracks door opened, and Parks came out of it, apparently he was sleeping just now, and he was still buttoning his collar, and then the sergeant saluted Parks: "Sergeant Les Parks, Company E, 506th Regiment?" ”

"Yes, is there anything please? Sergeant! Parks finally buttoned up his neckline and straightened his bow tie. He was a little surprised, this sergeant did not look like a herald of the company headquarters, but he seemed to have seen it at the regiment headquarters.

"Colonel Zink's order, please make sure to go to the regimental headquarters at half past two in the afternoon." The sergeant truthfully conveyed the order.

"Okay, sergeant, I'll be on time!" Parks nodded.

"To the regimental headquarters?" A voice came from behind, and Parks turned to see that White had walked out of the barracks at some point, "It shouldn't be a bad thing!" "White is quite concerned about Parks. After all, the relationship between the two is the best in E Company. At least that's what White himself thinks.

"Don't worry, Parks, if you're a badge, remember to treat us to beer!" The bull Randolphin raised his cigar and shouted loudly.

"Oh, big cow, I hope you don't spit out all the beer, or it's a waste!" Christenson shouted from the sidelines. You must know that when I vomited on the plane that time, except for Christenson, who could not bear it alone, everyone else vomited all over the place. That's why he spoke triumphantly to Landowman.

Parks smiled and looked at them jokingly. Then he tidied up his clothes and appeared at the regimental headquarters with the most neat face possible. This time it was because of why he summoned him, Parks couldn't guess at all, anyway, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

"Report, Sergeant Les Parks, Company E, 506th Regiment, has been ordered to report for duty!" Parks walked into the regimental headquarters with his head held high, saluted the people inside, and reported loudly.

"Take a break, Sergeant!" At this time, Colonel Zinke walked over with a smile on his face and introduced sideways, "This is General Lee, I believe you have already seen it." ”

There were still a few people sitting in the room, and Parks knew only Lieutenant Colonel Streel, as well as a few lieutenant colonels and major officers he didn't know, and of course there was a general, which he knew, and that was General Lee.

"General!" Parks stepped forward and saluted General Lee.

"Take a break, Sergeant!" General Lee looked very happy, he had already stood up, and when Parks saluted, he solemnly raised his hand and returned a military salute. This was a rare occurrence, and even Colonel Zink looked slightly surprised.

"We're old friends!" Brigadier General Lee shook Parks' hand, then beckoned him to sit down, "I'm here to talk to my brothers, so I'll meet you by the way, young man." I'm so impressed with your performance in New York! ”

"Thank you, General!" Parks replied cautiously.

General Li nodded, and then said, "How do you feel about returning to this team?" I heard that you designed an assault rifle? I didn't expect you to have this talent, but you are really an important asset of the army! His words were like a half-joke.

Parks wasn't surprised that General Lee knew about designing guns, and it was certain that Virgilia had approached him, perhaps she wanted to open a breakthrough with General Lee and find a position for her rifle.

"Yes, General." Parks was careful with his words, "You know, the training in the barracks was intense, but I still had plenty of time to do something that interested me. "Parks definitely didn't want to sell his guns or any other design or idea or anything like that. This is absolutely unwise.

"What do you think about the present?" General Li smiled, "I mean this kind of training life and getting along with my brothers. ”

"Very good, I feel that this kind of training will make us stronger and more agile, or that one day we will use the skills we have now to destroy the German devils. And I also felt very comfortable, it was a wonderful feeling to be with my brothers, and I enjoyed that brotherly relationship, General! Parks replied calmly.

"Okay, keep it up! Parks! General Lee said and stood up.

Knowing that it was time to take his leave, Parks also stood up, took a few steps back, saluted the people in the room, and walked out. In fact, it was just a few simple questions, and nothing was said. Parks didn't think about why General Lee wanted to see him. Was it just because he was so impressed in New York? I don't think about why we met, it's just a few ordinary conversations, and there is no in-depth discussion. Parks straightened his uniform and headed for the camp.

"He's a good soldier!" When Parks was gone, General Lee sat down again, smiled and nodded, and said to Colonel Zink, "It's also a soldier who impresses me!" ”

Zink also agreed: "Yes, General, he can show the best side in all kinds of training. And there is affection for us as a team. I'm sure the vast majority of our team is like him. ”

"It's your credit, Colonel Zink!" General Li smiled and nodded, "Being able to unite the soldiers and overcome many difficulties is a proud thing in itself, and I am proud of you!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Zink stood up excitedly.

"Okay, Colonel, my work here is basically over, what I need you to do now is to maintain this excellent tradition of yours, and train more excellent non-commissioned officers and soldiers like Parkes, they will be the most valuable asset of our army on the battlefield in the future!"

The exercise was very successful, and for the 506 regiment, their performance was also the most prominent in the 101 Airborne Division. So I was able to get a commendation from General Lee. And after a conversation with General Lee, Zink also focused on the training of grassroots non-commissioned officers. And Parks was undoubtedly the one who impressed Zinke.

"I think Lieutenant Winters wrote a recommendation report, which was forwarded by Major Horton!" After some thought, Colonel Zink finally said to Lieutenant Colonel Strell that he had finally remembered the incident.

"Yes, Colonel!" Striele nodded, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Send it back, give it to Captain Sauber, let him review it, and then hand it over to the battalion headquarters, and then Major Horton to the regimental headquarters." Colonel Sink muttered, "Even if it's recommended, we have to take it step by step, that's the rule. "Yes, that's the rule, otherwise Winters' report wouldn't have been left unattended by Zinke, and that's why.
