The entire unit of Company E was recuperating in Wigherre and serving as a guard at the regimental headquarters, but with the order of General Taylor, Company E was given a holiday, which was said to be a rotational break, but it was finally able to relieve the tension, fatigue and depression on the battlefield.

Today is their last day of vigilance, and then it's a ten-day holiday, so the brothers are relaxed. Sergeant Tybert took Mook, Pankara, Eli, Sergei, Sisk, Smith, and others to patrol the perimeter.

The group walked through the woods on the outskirts of Wigherr, and they knew that the Germans had flinched in shock, and that even if they were to attack, they would not come immediately, so they seemed more relaxed, their feet on the soft soil, and their leather boots slightly sinking into the mud and making a small sound.

"Taber, have you heard? About Captain Winters! Mook followed Tybert and spoke into his back, chewing gum in his mouth and his cheeks bulging, making his voice a little muffled.

"What?" Tybert didn't look back, he looked around, "When did you become so inquisitive?" ”

Muck shook his head and said, "Now that the brothers in the company have spread the word, Colonel Sink wants to promote Captain Winters, and he will be transferred to the battalion headquarters." I don't think you can go wrong. Now that my brothers think so, I don't believe you haven't heard anything. Hey man, you're in the company a lot, do you have anything to tell us? ”

"No, I don't want to be a long-tongued woman!" Tybert shook his head and smiled, "If you want to know the truth, why don't you ask Captain Winters yourself?" Maybe he will give you a reward because he is promoted and in a good mood. ”

"Oh, don't do that, Tabor, I know you're a good guy, reveal something!" Mook continued to plead, "You know what we care about, we just want to know who we should be in command from now on." ”

Tybert shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Okay, but you have to promise, don't say that I told you!" Tybert turned, then stood and looked at everyone behind him, "Guaranteed?" ”

"We promise!" Everyone nodded immediately, obviously they wanted to know the answer too, but they didn't ask first.

Tabert nodded, "Well, Commander Zinke did tell Captain Winters that he would be transferred to the battalion headquarters as a chief staff officer. Moreover, Captain Winters did recommend a candidate for company commander to Colonel Zink, who he always thought was the best choice for company commander, and Colonel Zinck clearly agreed with this decision, but Lieutenant Parkes...... You know! Tybert looked a little helpless.

"That's not the point, why don't you just tell us, don't sell it, who is the best second choice outside of Lieutenant Parkes?" Mook asked a little impatiently.

"This-I don't know, maybe Lieutenant Wales, maybe Lieutenant Compton, maybe Lieutenant Haliger, who knows?" Tybert spread out his hand and said, "That's not something I know. I don't know who Captain Winters and Colonel Zinke have in mind as the second choice, or maybe there is no second choice at all! ”

'Maybe Wales is a good choice, to be honest, I like him a lot.' Pankara interjected at this time, "At least he doesn't have a shelf, unlike the platoon commander in the second row." "The platoon commander in Pankara's mouth knows who he is referring to. They all nodded in agreement.

"As long as it's not Pikak as the platoon leader, I'm satisfied! To be honest, I hate his preaching, but luckily he's just a platoon leader. Sisk drew a cross on his chest and muttered, "God forbid!" ”

"It would be nice if Lieutenant Parks returned, and everything would be solved!" Mook said, "Colonel Zinke won't bother about this, and to be honest, brothers won't bother about it!" ”

Tybert couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You're right, but this is not the scope of our discussion, it's not our turn to worry, let Captain Zinke and Captain Winter go." Let's just be nice! Let's go, guys, tomorrow we have a holiday, and to be honest, I really yearn for Paris, have any of you ever been there? ”

"Paris? I like it, I heard that the girls there are very nice! "But I haven't been, and I think there's got to be someone familiar with us, or I'll get lost in the girls' dresses!" ”

"Oh, that's disgusting! Avery! Smith muttered.

"Are you jealous? Yes, maybe you're still a poor little virgin! Avery teased at Smith, "Thank God, I was unscathed during this operation, and I wish it would be the same in the future!" ”

"Who wouldn't?" "At least we've had a better time than the brothers in the first row, they're much worse than we are, but I'd rather go on a mission with the first row." ”

"So we should be envious of them!" Sergei interjected, and then he noticed that everyone was looking at him, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Muk shook his head and said, "No, it's just that we think the same way!" ”

Several people said as they continued to search the woods. They don't expect to find anything, it's like going through the motions. They can now enjoy hot baths, delicious meals, and fine wine collected from everywhere.

"Is it Sergeant Tybert?" Suddenly, a low voice came from about thirty meters around them, very low, but very clear into everyone's ears. Everyone reflexively turned around and raised their rifles.

"Don't shoot!" Tybert hurriedly shouted loudly, and then ran towards that side as fast as he could, he jumped, almost as fast as he could, and everyone suddenly moved, and then looked over there incredulously. Over there, among the foliage and weeds, suddenly stood up a man with a German 98k rifle, and then smiled at the yelling.

"Boss!" Tybert almost screamed, and then rushed over, as if he wanted to give Parks a big hug, but he held back, stopped beside Parks, and gave him a military salute.

"Taber!" Parks smiled slightly, then raised his hand in return. Then he whistled behind him, and from the grass and the pile of leaves behind him stood two more people, a middle-aged man and a girl. The middle-aged man had a rifle in his hand.

"Lieutenant Parkes!"

"Lieutenant!"

A crowd gathered around, and it was clear that this was completely unexpected. Lieutenant Parkes, whom they had just been talking about, had now appeared and was standing in front of them.

"God, I doubt it's true!" Mook exclaimed exaggeratedly, causing the group of people behind him to laugh, it was obvious that the atmosphere was warm and friendly, and everyone was so excited that Sergei stammered a little when he saw Parks: "Sir, I'm very glad you can come back, really, we all hope you can come back, it's great, it's great!" ”

Parks shook hands with them one by one, then pointed to the middle-aged man and girl, and said, "They saved me, kind Dutchman, Mr. Carr and Miss Cecia!" Then he turned to Carl and smiled at his father and daughter, "This is our brothers!" ”

Karl smiled, then nodded, "Yes, nice to meet you!" ”

Packs' return was something that none of the patrolling brothers expected, so they were excited, and Tybert asked Sergeant Mook to continue the patrol with the men, while he returned to the company with Parks.

On the way back, Parks asked about the platoon of brothers who had crossed the river earlier, after all, he was a little worried, he had witnessed the scene of the German planes finally wreaking havoc at the ferry, and he was afraid of what would happen to the brothers in the platoon.

"Don't worry, chief, they're fine, they're fine, the first batch will cross the river. Company Commander Winters personally picked them up. At that time, because you were not with you, the Welsh Lieutenant even wanted to stay alone and wait for you, and he had to thank Admiral Urquhart for ordering the Welsh Lieutenant to cross the river first. What luck they were! ”

"yes, luck!" Parks couldn't help but sigh, although he planned this operation in detail, he still relied on some luck in the process, "What about the other brothers?" Tell us about your actions! He digressed from the subject, and then moved on to the other platoons of Company E.

Tybert then told Parks about the rest of Company E's actions. After talking about Lieutenant Brewer still being hit and Compton still being punched in the ass, he couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head, it seems that something has changed, but there are still some things that can't be changed. But no matter what, the ending is much better than I expected.

At this time, Parks suddenly felt as if the corner of his clothes had been gently pulled, and when he looked back, it was Cecia, who secretly pulled herself, and then blushed, very good-looking. Tybert noticed it too, but he only smiled slightly, and his footsteps quickened a little, and he was a little more distant from Pakla.

"What's wrong?" Parks smiled at her and whispered.

"You can see that they all respect you!" Cecia whispered, her head hooked, just watching her toes move.

"Well, we are brothers in a company and respect each other!" Parks looked at her and whispered, "What do you want to say?" Cecia, it's okay! ”

"Are we going to separate?" Cecia's eyes were a little red, but she didn't want Parks to see them, and she kept her head down. The tone is a little low, and the mood is a little low.

Parks glanced up at Carl, who tilted his head all the way to the other side, as if he hadn't noticed. He had no choice but to laugh and say, "Yes, Cecia, I want to go back to the barracks." Don't worry, if we're still stationed here, we'll meet again, won't we? And you and your dad saved me, and that can't be changed. "Alright! If you're leaving, don't forget to write to me! Cecia plucked up her courage and looked up at Parks.

"Yes!" Parks nodded.

At this time, Tybert shouted loudly in front: "Chief, we have arrived, let's go to the company headquarters first, I think Captain Winters will definitely get a surprise, of course, all the brothers of E Company will get this surprise!" ”

Parks looked up and saw that they had reached the intersection of the town, when Carl walked over, and he walked up to Parks with a smile on his face and said, "It's time for us to part." Lieutenant, nice to meet you! ”

"Me too!" Parks nodded, and the two shook hands, shaking vigorously. Carl nodded at him, then turned and walked towards the town.

"Goodbye! This one is up to you! Cecia shoved a teddy bear made of a puppet into Parks, then followed behind Carl and smiled at Parks like a March flower!
