"Are they breaking through?" At the intersection of the lines into Carrington, a voice came out, full of anxiety and unease. It was Hubler's voice. He and his brothers from Company E stood at the intersection, waiting for Parks and their return.

"Yes!" It was Wales who spoke, and he looked at the fire in front of him, accompanied by the rumbling sound of artillery fire, and his heart was also a little uneasy, and he was very tight, he just replied simply, and then did not speak.

Company had learned of tonight's operation, and Winters did not hide it, and when he was ready to welcome Parks, the news spread throughout Company E-Company, and then the brothers spontaneously arrived at the intersection to wait.

"Why didn't I do this operation?" Hubler said with a little frustration.

"That's because you didn't offer Ensign Parks the good wine you collected from town." At this time, Caber was smiling on the side, "It must be like this." ”

"Shut up, Kaber!" Lutz couldn't help but be on the side, even his good temper couldn't help but say, "Don't talk about this." ”

"Okay!" Kaber shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more. In fact, he really hoped that Parks and the others would come back safely. After all, in the company, Parks' attitude towards him was probably the best.

Time passed little by little, and the artillery fire in front seemed to be more intense, and the flames were soaring, and it seemed that the German counterattack had also strengthened a lot, which silenced the brothers.

"God, God bless Parks them!" At this time, Compton suddenly whispered.

"God will bless them, Buck!" Winters beside him spoke softly, his eyes fixed on the place where the fire was shining, and his body did not move at all.

The artillery fire gradually died away in the night, except for the faint light of the fire that occasionally flickered in the air, and the darkness still hid the sky without the slightest mercy.

"The forward position is connected, the mission is completed, and the commando team has arrived smoothly!" At this time, a second lieutenant officer hurriedly came over from the regiment headquarters, and then said loudly to the brothers of E Company.

Silence!

After a brief silence, the entire company suddenly erupted in a loud cheer.

Parks didn't expect all of the Brotherhood of Company E to greet them as they entered Carrington. They were joined by every officer in the company, including Lieutenant Winster. Moreover, in addition to the officers of Company E, there were several big names, that is, several major officers of the battalion headquarters and regimental headquarters, including Lieutenant Colonel Stryer.

"Oh, Paikanti, it's great to see you!" Seeing Parks and them approaching, Hubler was the first to step forward and give Paikanti a hug, although the two of them usually quarreled from time to time, but at this moment, Hubler acted from the heart.

e And all the men went up round about them, and surrounded them, asking questions from time to time. Hugging, shaking hands, laughing, patting him on the shoulder, and even lifting Goneri up.

Stryll couldn't help but smile bitterly, the officers and soldiers of Company E came spontaneously, they knew that tonight would be the day for the brothers to break through, although the time was set at three o'clock in the morning, but they still waited here for more than an hour in advance. Even Winters asked to replace Company A with E-Link to pick up Parks, but Colonel Zinck vetoed it.

"Well done, second lieutenant!" Many of the brothers reached out to shake Parks or tapped him on the shoulder.

"I thought there would be no one to accompany me in the future!" Wales and Parks gave him a hug and laughed, "You know, I'm not good at that, and if you don't come back tonight, maybe I'll be looking for you from the Germans!" ”

"Don't worry, Harry, I'm going to come back so that you don't have to eat that cask of good brandy that we hid with Winters!" Parks smiled, also touched by Wales.

At this time, Winters stood outside the crowd and shouted at him, "Parks! When Parks came over, he beckoned to him.

Parks and his brothers greeted and talked and then squeezed out, thinking that Winters had walked over, he knew that the people at the regimental headquarters would definitely be waiting for the battle report he had given them!

"What about people?" Winters smiled at him, he already knew that Nilander had been rescued.

Parks shouted loudly to the rescued captives who were watching with envy on the sidelines, "Niland, come here, come here, hurry." ”

A private ran from the crowd, and he saluted Parks and Winters and shouted, "Private Nilander reports for duty!" ”

"Bob of the 82nd Division? Neelander? "There are three brothers, one of whom is in Company D, 2nd Battalion, 506th Regiment of the 101st Division?" Called Fritz? Neelander? ”

"Yes, sir." Niland looked at Winters in surprise, "Do you know them?" ”

Winters suddenly looked at Parks and said, "You didn't tell him about his brothers?" ”

Parks shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I never say anything to what I think of as a bastard, unless you command me to do so!" ”

"Bastard?" Winters muttered under his breath, then whispered to Parks, "A bastard indeed!" ”

Niland's face changed, and then he said, "Sir, what is the matter?" Maybe there's something wrong with you? His voice was a little loud and a little agitated, and it was clear that he had heard what Parks and Winters had just said.

"Don't get excited, Private Niland. It's not that we're looking for you to have something, it's the regimental headquarters, and now I'll take you to meet them! Winters waved at Parks as he spoke, and at this time Lieutenant Colonel Striele also came over, he shook Parks' hand first, nodded and smiled, "Well done, second lieutenant, I'm proud of you!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Parks gave a military salute.

"Take a break, second lieutenant." Striele looked at Niland, who was following him, and asked, "Are you sure it's him?" ”

"Yes!" Parks nodded, "Nylander of the 82nd Division, Lieutenant Winters has also confirmed it just now!" ”

"Excellent! You rest first, and then report to the regiment headquarters tomorrow! Striele nodded at Parks, then said to Niland, "Follow me, Private Niland, let's go to the regimental headquarters together." Then he turned to Winters and said, "Go and talk to the brothers of the commando, they need you now!" After that, he took Nelander and the officers of the battalion and regimental headquarters and prepared to leave.

"Sir!" Parks stopped him suddenly.

Striele looked back at him, "What's the matter?" Lieutenant! ”

Parks hesitated for a moment and said, "There's one thing, I think I'd better talk to you first." When we rescued the guy again, we took out the regimental headquarters of the Germans and killed the regimental commander, Colonel Haight. ”

"What?" Winters and Striele exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"I mean, we took out Colonel Haight, the commander of the German Sixth Parachute Regiment." Parks said solemnly.

"God, are you sure?" Striele screamed, then pressed closely, "Is this confirmed?" You're the one you killed, Colonel Haight? The commander of the 6th Parachute Regiment that we are now confronting? ”

"Yes, sir, I don't think I'll be mistaken." Parks replied calmly.

Stryll coughed dryly, then nodded, and said, "Okay, I know, I'll explain it to Colonel Zink, and tomorrow morning, you go to the regimental headquarters to explain the process of this operation in detail." With that, Striele left with Niland.

"I can't believe it!" Winters suddenly smiled at Parks, "I didn't expect you to actually take out the German command. It's shocking. ”

"It's just luck, and of course, it's not always there," Parks laughed. The point is that if I were Colonel Zinke, I would have taken advantage of this opportunity to attack the Germans, their command was already in disarray, and this was our chance. ”

Winters also nodded and smiled: "If I am, it will be like this!" ”

"Need advice on them?" Parks looked at Winters.

Winters looked in the direction Striet had left, then slowly shook his head and said, "No, they know what to do!" Then he patted Parks on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Nick said that you will definitely come back safely, and he is right, and in the company, I have prepared a good wine for you to celebrate." Let's go! ”

Parks nodded, after a few days of hard work, he really wanted to drink and sleep comfortably.

"Hey, guys, let them rest, Lip, take them to get something to eat, get some hot. Then arrange a comfortable place to get a good night's sleep! Winters said loudly to the crowd that was still excitedly communicating.

"Yes, sir!" Lipp replied loudly, and then said to the crowd, "All right, brothers, let our warriors go and enjoy good food and wine, and hot baths." ”

The onlookers gradually moved out of the way, allowing Lip to leave with Tybert. There was reverence in their eyes, and there was more fervent envy in their eyes.

"Someday, I'll capture Ruger too!" Hubl muttered to their departing backs.

"Well, there's going to be a chance, but yours is right on your heels, Platoon Commander!" Lutz added with a heaval grin.

"Yes, yes, but why didn't Parks pick me? I don't think I'm going to lose to him compared to Paikanti. It's damn luck! Hubl snapped.

"Well, you should be very impressed with Parks!" Lutz said as he walked past him, "I have to pray that he can see it, and maybe there will be another chance." ”

Hubl didn't speak, shook his head, and then followed Lutz as well.

"Wales!" As Winters left, he yelled at the crowd.

Welsh squeezed out of the crowd with a smile on his face, and then walked with Winters to the company. It was a small gathering of private groups, for Winters and for Parks.
