Chapter 295: Prisoner of War Mission ()

The order brought by Captain Winters was indeed not good news. The current situation of E Company is okay with normal patrols, but it really infiltrates the interior of the German army, and it also has to ensure that German prisoners are captured, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and danger of the task. Casualties can occur at any time.

After Captain Winters left, Captain Parks, Captain Welsh, and Lip began to discuss the choice of the mission. They had to pick experienced people to lead the patrol, and try to keep the rookies out of the mission, as they might have killed the other brothers on the mission.

"To be honest, all the non-commissioned officers need to rest now, sir," Lipp said truthfully to Parks, "they're all tired, but if I had to choose, I'd have Martin, Marachi, or Grant." Of course, it's not up to me to decide on an officer, it's better to have an experienced officer. If I look at it personally, Martin and his non-commissioned officers can complete this task. ”

"I see, it's up to you to decide who the soldiers will be. I need 4 soldiers, including non-commissioned officers. Give me the list tomorrow," Parks nodded, and then he said to Captain Wales, "Harry, call Captain Folly and I'm going to put him in charge of this command, he's a good choice because he's experienced." ”

"I think so too," Lipp nodded.

The next day, Li Pu drew up a list, personally went to each platoon to inform him, and then the sergeant in the platoon was responsible for relaying the task and handing over the selected people to Li Pu for gathering. And this news also made many people in e-company continue to pray in their hearts, hoping that they would not be picked this time.

"Brothers, we have a mission," Sergeant Malaqi, who struck the brothers inside a large house, and then said to the brothers, "we have a mission to capture the German prisoners on the other side of the river." So when someone is lucky enough to be drawn. ”

"God, you've been pumped out of me," Hefron muttered in his mind, looking nervously at Malachi. But Malaqi's gaze shifted to him, the two looked at each other, and then nodded at Heflang and said, "Heflang, yes, you participated"

"Damn," Hefflang couldn't help but curse, and then with a frustrated face, he put his hands in his head and buried his face in his own hands, obviously he looked very disappointed. At this time, McClung sat beside him, reached over and put his hand around his shoulder, and then patted him twice, trying to comfort him.

"And Lambretz, McClung of course we need a translator, Webster will act as our translator and Liegot, who knows German, let's go together" Malach nodded to the brothers, "That's all." Don't look at me like that, I have a share, it's not my list, guys, go find Captain Lipp or Captain Parks, and tell them about your grievances."

McClung was still patting Hefflang on the shoulder just now, but he immediately heard his name, and couldn't help but grow his mouth in astonishment, and then pulled his hand back stupidly, muttering, "Why don't you let those reinforcements go?" God, we've been fighting for so long and still don't let us go, what the hell"

Malachi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, stop complaining. We've got time, the mission will be in three days, we're going to learn how to use the kayaks, get ready, guys," said Malaqi, and walked out alone, he didn't want to stay here and listen to their complaints.

"Why two translators?" Li Gaot watched Malachi walk out and couldn't help but shout, but Malaki ignored him and walked away. Li Gaot had no choice but to muttered dissatisfiedly to Webster, "Isn't your German good enough?" Or do you still need someone to translate your broken German? ”

"Hey, how do you talk? It's not my decision, why fire at me? Damn it, if you don't want to go yourself, go and talk to Lipp or Captain Parks, you coward" Webster refused to suffer in the slightest, he didn't like this fellow very well, and when he heard Leegot's complaints, he unceremoniously chose to fight back, which was not very commensurate with his usual good temper.

"Boy, do you want to learn a lesson?" Legot slammed up from his chair and reached for Webster's collar as he reached for Webster's collar, "Don't expect you to be a college student and be angry in front of me, man, I'm not going to buy your account."

"That's enough, Legot," Hefflang suddenly stood up, standing between the two. looked at Li Gaot and frowned, "Damn, we were all selected to die, you guys are still making infighting here, what two bastards" said Heflang didn't even look at the two of them anymore, and walked out of the house.

"Look at the good things you've done," Webster glared at Legot, and then walked outside, "I'm going to Observation Post No. 2, but I don't have the time to torture you here." Webster walked out of the room slowly, and then slammed the door shut, and there was a heavy "bang" that shook all the sounds in the room. There was only a group of people sitting in a daze, and no one had the heart to speak.

Lip handed the list to Parks. Jackson, Mosier, Maas, McClung , Cobb, Piper, Roy, Heflang, Lambretz, Siffordi, Kaber, Garcia, Skimmerey and Lyle were looking for a list of fourteen people, and Parks saw at a glance the unlucky Jackson who was going to be killed by his own grenade. He was a recruit with little experience, so he was the only one injured and killed in the operation. Parks couldn't help but shake his head and smile, pointing to Jackson's name and smiling at Lip, "This is a recruit, no experience, replace him, let Ellie go, he is experienced and cautious." ”

Li Pu nodded and said: "Okay, I originally wanted the newcomer to adapt as soon as possible, but for the sake of insurance, I can completely replace this guy, he is lucky!" With that, he picked up the list and walked out. As he reached the door, he was met by a young second lieutenant officer. Dressed in a neat military uniform, with a cleanly groomed face, and carrying a large package on his shoulder. Apparently, the officer also saw Lip's presence.

"Sir" Lipp saluted him and prepared to walk away.

The officer nodded at Lip, his eyes full of pride, like a proud Gallic rooster looking around him at the flock of chicks who were worshipping him, in Lipp's later description of him.

"Sergeant, is this the headquarters of Company E?" The Legion stopped Lipp as he was leaving, "What's your name?" ”

Li Pu couldn't help frowning, he could see that this officer was a chick, too young, and arrogant, and nodded and said, "Yes, sir, my name is Kawood?" Lipp, Sergeant Major of Company E. This is the headquarters of Company E, is there anything going on? ”

The young officer looked at him and nodded slightly, "I see, sergeant." That's why I asked you. I'm an officer who came here to report for duty, graduated from West Point, and the War Department asked me to come here to learn from experience. I want to find Captain Parkes," he said with a somewhat solemn expression. It's as if the Virgin Mary's expression is raised.

"The Captain is inside, you can find him in the drawing-room, and the Deputy Company Commander, Captain Wales," said Lipp, "Sir, I'm still on a mission, so—"

The young officer got the answer he wanted, and without dwelling on it any more, he nodded at Lipp and said, "Okay, sergeant, you can do it yourself, I'll just go in by myself," and he walked towards the hotel almost impatiently. As he stood in the doorway, he saw two officers chatting on the sand in the living room of the hotel. He already knew one of them, having seen his picture in the newspaper and heard his voice on the radio. I saw clips of his battles in those documentaries with the army. That's right, it's Captain Parkes, an idol officer who is highly respected by cadets and instructors throughout West Point. Moreover, some of Captain Parkes' classic combat examples have been used as models in the teaching materials of military schools.

"Report sir" The young officer looked a little excited, and he said loudly, hoping to attract the attention of the two officers in the living room, especially the one he knew.

Captain Parks and Captain Wales turned their heads to look at the officer standing in the doorway.

"Who are you?" The Welsh lieutenant looked at the young officer at the door, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, God, this is an inexperienced officer, how can he be replenished to the front? It would be better for him to be able to go to those book departments.

"Hank? Second Lieutenant Jones was ordered to report to Company E to Commander Parks. The young officer looked deferential, which made Parks laugh at it. New officers are like this, they see the battlefield as sacred and want to experience it first-hand so that they can use what they learned in school.

"Very well, find your own place to sit down, your position will be discussed later" Parks nodded at him, and then said to the Welsh lieutenant, "It seems that our task will only depend on these veterans." Tomorrow we will have the whole company of firepower to support them. Of course, I would suggest to Captain Winters, and the fire support of the whole battalion is not too much."

Second Lieutenant Jones knew what this mission was, and he had heard about it when he was at the regimental headquarters. Now Captain Parks was talking about this patrol mission, and it was a great time for him to put his hands on it

"Sir, please join the patrol," Second Lieutenant Jones said, standing upright to the side, to Parks.

"No, you're inexperienced," the Welsh lieutenant certainly knew what Jones was thinking.

Parks looked at him with a frown, muttered for a moment, and then said to Captain Wales, "Harry, it's not bad to let him learn a little experience" and he nodded, "Okay, Second Lieutenant Jones, I agree to your request"
