Chapter 237: Deliberation
Night has quietly fallen. Flares flickered in the air, illuminating a large area, and then quickly dimmed, and the faces of the brothers were reflected in the bunker.
The people who went out on missions during the day were slowly recovering their spirits, they stayed in the bunker, and gradually regained their self-confidence in the bright and dark light. But Hefflang was not in a good mental state. Doctor Law tried to find him, but he was not in his bunker, and no one knew he was there.
"Welsh lieutenant?" Doctor Law saw a figure in the snow, a Welsh lieutenant, who was taking off his boots outside his bunker and exposing his feet.
"Damn it, Eugene, you've got to figure it out for me, I've tried everything, and this damn foot just doesn't react!" Wales sat annoyed on the trunk of a tree lying across the snow.
"Sir, you have to keep your feet dry, and you have to massage your feet, change your socks every day, and put wet socks on your neck to dry!" Doctor Law rubbed his hands together and said to Wales.
"Well, I'm trying to do that, it's unimaginably bad!" Wales shook his head and said this through a bit of gritted teeth.
"I've told him a long time ago, but he always doesn't listen, if he can stay at the ambulance station for another night, maybe his feet will be better, and there can be a fire there, the best!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind him, it was Parkes, he walked out of the bunker, looked at Doctor Luo, and said with a smile, "I heard that you know a girl from Bastone?" β
Doctor Luo was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said, "Yes, I just met, very good girls, they are all from Bastone, and they ...... And we don't have any relationship! β
Captain Parks nodded and smiled at Doctor Luo, "It's so late, who are you looking for?" Heffron? "Parks knows that Hefflang is in an extremely low mood at this time because of Julian's death, and someone needs to talk to him, and the most suitable person is Doctor Luo, after all, in his previous life, because of Doctor Luo, Hefflang walked out of the trough of his mood.
Doctor Law nodded, then turned and walked a few steps before he heard Captain Parkes' voice behind him, "Thatβis that girl named Renee?" β
Doctor Luo was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at Captain Parkes, and found that there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, sir." She's Renee! Do you know her? β
Parks shook his head and smiled, "No, I don't know, but I still know the name of the prettiest nurse at the ambulance station." Do your best! Just as Dr. Luo was about to turn around and leave, he heard Parkes's voice again: "Eugene, you-you better pay more attention, the ambulance station is not a safe place, it may not be possible for shells to reach it now, but the German planes can." Soβ" Parks said this, but said no more, he smiled, and then turned to Wales and began to talk.
Doctor Luo stood stunned for a while, and found that Captain Parks had no intention of speaking again, but he couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. But as he had just taken a step, he heard Captain Parkes' voice again: "If you want to find Heflang, you'd better go to Dr. Spina's bunker, maybe you'll find him there!" β
"Yes, sir!" Doctor Luo agreed, and muttered in a low voice, "Why don't you finish a sentence?" β
As Captain Parks had said, Hevron was in the bunker of Dr. Spina, covered with a blanket over him, curled up beside Spina, his eyes sad and helpless, and it was evident that he had not yet recovered, and both of them were sitting there, their backs against the bunker, motionless. Dr. Law jumped down, then looked at Heflang and pulled out a piece of chocolate from his body, which Renee had given him.
"Try this!" Doctor Luo said, breaking a piece and bringing it to Heflang's mouth.
The bitter and sweet chocolate melted in Hefflang's lips, and then the bitter and sweet taste slowly penetrated into his mouth, and Hefflang reached out and took the chocolate from Dr. Luo's hand, and gently bit off a piece with his teeth.
"We should have gone and rescued him!" Heflon muttered, "I shouldn't have said those things to him, I told him that if he was killed, I would go to his hometown to greet his mother, damn it, why would I say such a thing?" β
"You can't save him, he may not live long then!" Medical Officer Luo glanced at him and said, "I know that after the neck was torn by the MG42 machine gun bullet, no one survived!" β
"But the Germans will strip him naked! I can't even get his badge or his letter! Hefflang choked up suddenly, and rested his head tightly on Eugene's shoulder. The whole person couldn't help but sob, shaking his shoulders incessantly.
"Okay, it's okay, it's okay, what he endured, we will get it back, on the Germans!" Doctor Law gently patted Heflang on the shoulder, comforting him.
No one knows what will be recovered from the Germans, but one thing everyone knows is that the Germans are now much stronger than Company E, they are outnumbered and well supplied.
Captain Parks watched Dr. Law leave, and he already had an idea in his heart, he was determined to save the wounded and doctors at the ambulance station, and even more importantly, the nurse who was as beautiful as an angel, Renee. No matter what happens to her and Doctor Luo in the future, the flowers on the battlefield will definitely not allow her to wither in ruins.
"I told you, let you go to the ambulance station, now look at how bad the situation is!" Parks looked at Wales and shook his head, "Don't hold on, you go to the ambulance station tomorrow for a day, or I'll let Winters give you an order." β
Wales raised his hands and smiled: "Okay, okay, don't come to this, I'll listen to you." Les! As he spoke, he carefully put his bare feet into his socks, carefully put them on, and fastened them. The whole process seems to be cautious.
"What are we going to do about the brothers? If this continues, sooner or later the brothers will collapse. The cold and the lack of supplies were relatively minor problems, the point was that the Germans kept the pressure on us. They are well supplied, and the shells can strike us at any time and at any time, and this is what destroys the will of the brothers! β
"I know!" Parks nodded, "Plus the first battle patrol was a defeat, if we want to cheer up the brothers in the future, we must give them a hope, so that they don't fear." β
"Who would be fit to be the commander of the patrol?" Wales looked at Parks, then walked towards the bunker, saying to Parks as he followed, "Pikak is a loser. Helig was a good leader, but he was a little too cautious to go out on combat patrols; Speirs? No, he was a fanatical attacker, and it was clear that he was fit to charge into battle rather than a combat patrol mission, which would cost the lives of his brothers who followed him. β
"Who else?" Parks looked at Wales and smiled, "You're talking about one less person!" β
"No, right? We're not going to send a deputy platoon commander, you know it's not in line! Wales shook his head, it was clear that he had no other candidates.
"Captain Parks should be a good candidate!" Parks suddenly smiled at Wales in a serious manner, "Don't you think he's the best person to lead the patrol?" β
Wales couldn't help but grow his mouth, looked at Parks and said, "Oh, Lacey, this is not a joke, you lead the patrol?" Dick doesn't bother you yet! β
"Then let's not tell him!" Parks smiled at Wales.
"Are you sure?" Wales looked at Parks with a serious look on his face.
"Yes, yes, it's time for the brothers to need me, and I should do something about it. Harry, I'm the company commander, and I have to give my brothers confidence! Parks replied earnestly, "Don't let the brothers despair in a desperate situation! β
"Well, you make the decision, I support you!" Wales shrugged his shoulders, "When are you going to start?" β
"Tomorrow night, there will be heavy snow tomorrow night, I have already received the weather forecast sent by the regiment headquarters, and our patrol will start from that time!" Parks nodded at Wales.
Wales decided not to say anything more. He didn't have much to say, every decision Parks made seemed like an unbelievable one, but each one of his decisions was able to bring the brothers out of a desperate situation and achieve victory. He had followed Parks to the Black Panthers, and in the operation, he had also seen Parks' command courage and amazing tactical talents, as well as his lone heroic side, and now he was a little skeptical that he had been a little blind to Parks.
It was already getting brighter, and a glimmer of light shone into the bunker, stimulating Dr. Luo's eyes, he squinted slightly, looked at the light outside, and then turned his head to look at the two guys beside him, Hevron and Spina, who were sleeping soundly. He moved slightly, trying to lift the blanket, but he alarmed both of them.
"Hi Eugene!" Spina smiled at Dr. Luo and said hello!
"Hi Eugene!" At this time, Heflang, who was beside him, also opened his eyes and greeted Dr. Luo, the frustrated look on his face had disappeared, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hi Howard!" Doctor Luo smiled at him.
"No, don't call me Howard, only nuns call me that!" Heflon muttered dissatisfiedly, causing Spina, who was beside him, to burst out laughing.
Doctor Luo was stunned, couldn't help but look at Spina, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Am I wrong?" Isn't that what he called? No, I'm not mistaken! β
Spina couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Eugene, don't you ever call someone by a nickname?" That's not good, it will make you look serious and make you not want to talk to you more! β
"So tell me what Howard's nickname is?" Doctor Luo tapped on his helmet, and suddenly looked at Heflon and laughed, "I know, Babe!" Hey, baby, that's a pretty good nickname! β
"Hey!" Heflang couldn't help but smile at Doctor Luo, "Bebby? Your nickname is really funny, it's still so serious, it's the first time you've called me a nickname with such a serious expression! β
"Yes, yes, Howard, there is always a first time for everything! Isn't it? Doctor Luo looked at him and smiled slightly.
