The command did not take advantage of the victory to attack the German army, but on the second day, the tentative surname of the German position was shelled, but the German army also used 88 mm guns and 105 mm cannons to counterattack, although it was not very violent, but this made the people in the command more cautious, General Taylor's answer to Zink was: It does not matter whether Colonel Haidt was killed or not, the key is that the command system of the German army has not been completely destroyed, and a rash attack will cause heavy losses to the American [***] team.

"I wonder if they were kicked in the head by a donkey!" Zinke seemed very aggressive, he was angry at the regimental headquarters, and in front of Lieutenant Winters, "Even if we send our 506th Regiment up to test the surname to attack, it's okay." ”

Winters didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything. He had been in the camp for a while, and he had just stood there watching Colonel Zink's incessant scratching and then smoking his cigar.

"I'm going to meet Second Lieutenant Parks in person, and I'm going to apply for a congressional medal for him. And, of course, you, Winters, who held the right flank of the line and played a decisive role in the battle of Carrington. Colonel Zinke smiled at Winters, and there was no sign that he was still angry and full of stomach just now.

"Congressional Medal?" Winters muttered to himself, Parks may be eligible for it, but if he wants to, can he issue two at the same time? He didn't say it, but it was clear that he didn't have much hope for Zink's claim.

"Sir, is there anything else?" Winters was puzzled, and Zink had called him here to talk about these things. There must still be tasks, this is his usual trick.

Zink looked at Winters, then nodded, "Dick, I know that you are a good officer, always able to carry the toughest tasks, and be able to fight continuously. Now we need to replace the GIs on the southern line of Carrington, and now I think only Company E can do that. Tomorrow, you guys go into the defensive line, is there a problem? ”

Winters couldn't help it, he nodded and said, "Yes, sir, no problem!" ”

"Have a good talk with your brothers!" Colonel Sink said.

Dick nodded, then said, "Sir, what about the commandos?" They need to rest. ”

Zink was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are free to arrange." By the way, I've given Parks a battlefield commission, and I'd like you to put it on for him, he'll be honored to do that. As he spoke, he pulled a silver bar out of his pocket and handed it to Parks.

Winters took it, played with it in his hand, and then nodded, "Yes, Parks is a return officer, and he deserves it, sir, thank you!" ”

Zink nodded, sat down in his chair and didn't speak, his eyes moving to a newspaper. This is the demeanor to end the conversation. Winters also took his leave at this time.

The commandos were all grouped into their own platoons. For them, the mission is over, and they are now no longer commandos, but ordinary members of Company E. But this did not prevent them from bragging in front of their brothers in E Company.

Maraki looked very depressed, the Ruger he had been looking for now appeared in the E Company, and most of them were captured by the commandos, and even Paikanti found one.

"You know, when the German was checking the truck compartment, Paikanti's hands were shaking, even more than the German he was holding his pistol to." Guaerry was sitting in his room in the room, giving a radiant speech, and a group of E-Company brothers were surrounded by him, laughing at his words.

"He's said it three times!" Sitting against the wall next to the crowd, Karber took a sip of a bottle of wine and said to Private Hocker beside him, "He's gone from the first row to the third row." ”

"Are you jealous?" Hocker chuckled.

"What do you think?" Kaber glared at him, "Is it necessary for me to be jealous of him?" I just can't stand it, this kind of thing that has been repeated so many times. With that, he walked out with the bottle.

"Hey, Kaber. We're going to enter the zone tomorrow! Hall laughed behind him, "You can fight the Germans too." ”

Cabal ignored him and walked away. But the brothers of E Company know that tomorrow they will be back in position, and today should be a day to enjoy.

As soon as Kaber walked out, a military jeep sped in front of him and almost hit him, which made the frustrated Kaber can't help but curse loudly: "Damn, can you drive?" Drive into a cannonball, you stupid pig. ”

Obviously, Kaber's scolding attracted the attention of the people in the jeep, and a middle-aged man couldn't help frowning and said to a sergeant driving beside him: "Sergeant Kate, this is a soldier of your 101st Division?" ”

Sergeant Kate frowned, looked through the mirror, and then smiled at the middle-aged man, "Yes, I think he must have drunk too much." Mr. McCallum, please don't mind, soldiers like this are definitely an isolated phenomenon. ”

The middle-aged man, known as Mr. McCallum, didn't say anything, just frowned slightly. He knew that his task today was to interview Colonel Hink, the commander of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Division who had gone to Carrington to win the battle.

The jeep stopped at the regimental headquarters, and Colonel Zinke personally greeted Mr. McCallum at the gate of the headquarters, and when he saw him getting out of the car, he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, Mr. McCallum." ”

"It's an honor to meet you!" With a smile on his face, McCulum stepped forward and shook Colonel Zink's hand.

Colonel Sink ushered McArum into the command. Also in command was Lieutenant Colonel Streill, as well as several lieutenant and staff officers.

"I'm interviewing you on behalf of the Washington Star, and you and your army have had a brilliant record in the battle at Carrington, and I think we all of America have a right to know how our troops fought valiantly on the front lines, especially the good commanders. This is the purpose of this interview, Mr. Colonel. ”

Zink smiled: "Mr. McCallum, please ask, I guarantee in the name of a soldier that what I said is the truth, and there will be no suspicion of exaggeration, please rest assured!" ”

"Let's talk about the battle at Carrington! I think a lot of people are interested in this victory right now! McCallum opened his notebook and prepared to take notes.

Colonel Zinke spoke eloquently about the layout of the battle, the decisions made by the regimental headquarters, and also talked about the performance of the companies, especially praising Company E and Lieutenant Winters, who said: "It was thanks to Winters's leadership that they held the key positions of this defensive line and repelled the enemy's attack with mortar and machine-gun fire. He was a good soldier on that battlefield. In the face of extremely fierce fighting, the reason why they were able to hold their positions was inseparable from his personal bravery and combat knowledge. ”

"Lieutenant Winters?" McCallum jotted down the name in his notebook and circled it in a circle.

After Colonel Sink talked for a while, McCallum nodded, and then continued to ask: "I heard that the War Department arranged a surprise operation to rescue Private Neeland, and it was very successful, not only rescuing Neeland, but also saving twenty prisoners of war at the same time, one of whom was still a lieutenant. Can you talk about the commander who was in charge of this operation? ”

"It's Second Lieutenant Parkes!" Colonel Zinke's eyes lit up when he said the name, but he didn't say much, "This is a very good officer. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" McArum continued to ask, apparently he was more interested in the second lieutenant Parks in Zink's mouth, the lone hero? This made him cheer up.

"Well, all I can say is that he is a very good officer, which is the pride of the 506th regiment!" Colonel Sink laughed, "Mr. McCallum, now that it's time to eat, why don't you taste what a field lunch is like?" ”

McCallum knew he couldn't ask anything, so he wrote down the name of "Parks" in his notebook, then drew several circles on it with his pen, closed the notebook and smiled, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Colonel." ”

Lunch was served in a welcoming atmosphere. Then after lunch, McCallum ended the interview with a few more questions. Colonel Zink sent a car to take him out of Carrington.

Parks went to the row after lunch, and he smiled and greeted all the brothers.

"Chief, shall we go to the line south of Carrington tomorrow? Why don't we get a good rest? It was Tybert who spoke, and he was finishing his chat with the brothers, and then he said to Parks.

"It's better not to call me this in the company!" Parks smiled and shook his head, "The squad has been disbanded, and we are now a member of Company E again, calling me by rank or name." I'm sure you prefer to call me by my name. ”

"Yes, sir!" Tybert smiled, then lowered his voice and said, "I still like to call you the head in private." ”

Parks smiled, said no more, and walked over, at which point White handed over a bottle of wine: "Some?" ”

Parks nodded, took a sip and then returned it to White: "Yes, we will enter the defensive line tomorrow with the brothers of Company E, Tybert, we are back, there is no squad, we have to obey orders like other brothers!" Then he laughed and said, "This is what Captain Sauber taught us when we were in the Takoya barracks." ”

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

"Rush, horse! Go to Sanli, come to Sanli! Lutz screamed, and slapped Tybert on the buttocks, following Captain Sauber's tone. And then he laughed.

"Damn it, Lutz!" Tybert exclaimed, "You should have buttered your asshole and stuffed a sandwich in it so you wouldn't say anything!" ”

At this time, Maraki at the door suddenly shouted: "Stand up!" ”

Everyone reflexively stood up, standing upright. At this time, Winters and Nexon and Welsh walked in through the door.

"Take a break" Winters nodded, then said, "Good afternoon, brothers!" ”

Once everyone was seated, Winters beckoned to Parks and smiled, "I knew you were here, so I came here." ”

When Parks walked over, he pulled a silver bar out of his pocket and smiled, "Colonel Sink thinks you should be promoted, Lieutenant Parks." ”
