CHAPTER XVI

Parks and Winster were in the limelight during the game, which wasn't a good thing for Sauber. He was always able to think of ways to torture them, such as the fact that he transferred Winster as his deputy company commander and made him walk around the kitchen and toilet every day, without giving him much contact with the E-Company brothers.

Even with Parks, he could find some ways, for example, when Parks was coaching that platoon that day, he would make that platoon train a lot more, and he hoped that his brothers in Company E would have a grudge against Parks. But the effect of Parks' training is there, and no one can erase it, so the brothers of Company E did not complain about Parks, but became closer, which was something that Sauber did not expect.

With the rapid improvement of the physical fitness of the brothers of E Company under the training of Parks, the basic training subjects of E Company are being strengthened. Because of Colonel Zinke's high demands, he demanded that every member of Company E have their own skills in the use of mortars, machine guns, rifles, communications, and field bandaging. Any job in the platoon, everyone can do it, at least can handle it. Each soldier understands the duties of the corporal and sergeant, and can substitute him if necessary.

Because of this, Parkes' work has gradually become easier, and for e-company, the improvement of physical fitness indicates that in the future, physical training will only be an aid, and the rest will become the main training items.

Winster was also "released" from the kitchen and toilet by Parks as his physical program gradually decreased, because of these new subjects, Winster had to be personally involved, and it was also a new test for him.

"I can't believe Sauber threw you in the kitchen for more than two months." When Nickerson saw Winster in the barracks, he raised the bottle in his hand, "Would you like a drink?" Even if it's for the celebration of your 'release from prison'. ”

"A glass of water, Nick!" Winster smiled, "Didn't I come out?" It's just that God knows what else Souber will ask me to do. But I'm not worried at all now, after all, no deputy company commander has ever worked in the kitchen for the rest of his life. ”

Nickerson laughed, "You're so optimistic. However, Colonel Zinke has been a little less optimistic lately. ”

"Something about training?"

"Yes, Colonel Zinke is bent on implementing the same training methods as Parks in the entire regiment, you know, the current E Company is definitely much more powerful than it was two months ago, and Colonel Zinke is not tempted." Nickerson sighed and shook his head.

Winster was stunned for a moment and looked at Nixon: "I know what Colonel Zink is bothering about, it must be that Parks' training style has not been passed by the above." ”

"How do you know?" Nickerson gave Winster a strange look, "I just heard this news from the battalion headquarters. ”

"There's nothing strange about it." "Colonel Zinke is an optimist, but he completely ignores how serious it is for the bureaucracy up there. ”

Nickerson nodded: "The upper side said to Colonel Zinke that although there are some effects, the training method has not passed the appraisal of experts, there is no scientific basis, and the time is too short, and no one can evaluate what kind of hidden dangers will occur in the future, so it is suspended." ”

"Hold?" Winster laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid it's a permanent pause." It looks like Sergeant Parks is going to lose his job. ”

"That's right! And don't forget you, you were the one who started it! Then he raised the bottle, "Cheers to the unemployed!" As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine, tilted his head, and drank it all.

The news soon began to spread in the regiment. Of course, the brothers who are most concerned about this matter are the brothers who practice e. Winster even wondered if Sauber had known about it and freed himself from his chores. However, the officers and men of Company E seemed a little excited.

"God knows what Colonel Zink thinks, now that the effects of our training are already visible, are they all a bunch of blind men? Why stop this way of training? White was scratching in the barracks.

This result was not a surprise to Parks, and Colonel Zink was indeed too optimistic at the beginning. In the United States, the emphasis is on scientific evidence and verification, and the ancient Chinese techniques are incomprehensible to them as much as witchcraft. Brigadier General William C. Lee would not allow an immature training method to appear in the 101st Airborne Division, thus disrupting his overall plan. To put it bluntly, Colonel Zink won't be allowed to come.

"Poor Colonel Zink!" Christenson sighed from the sidelines.

"Poor Sergeant Parks!" Moore sighed as Christen sighed, and then grimaced at Parks.

Parks smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing, now that we've mastered this method, there's nothing to be discouraged about, the main thing now is that those new training subjects have to be dealt with well, you know, Captain Sauber is not that easy to deal with, I don't have much hope for you at first." ”

"Come on, Parks!" "We know you're very athletic, and we all admire you, but if you want to be the best at what you do, it's not going to be easy." ”

"Then we'll see, Kaber!" Parks chuckled, "Want to take a gamble?" Tomorrow our platoon is rifle shooting training, we might as well bet a little bigger, fifty dollars, bet that I can surpass you! ”

Obviously, this stumped Caber, Parks can't be inferred by common sense, he was just a little jealous, if he really wanted to bet, he didn't have much confidence at all, and it was as much as fifty dollars, which was a month's salary.

Seeing that Kaber did not agree, everyone else in the barracks coaxed: "Oh, please, Kaber, show your courage, don't let Parks say anything cold." ”

In the end, Caber did not agree, and despite some heckling, he still backed down: "I won't fall for you." Parks is a lion, which of you would dare to bet with a lion? No, I don't want to be boring. ”

Yes, it only took a day for Kaber to begin to rejoice in his decision.

"Shoot!" With the instructor's order, the second platoon lying on the ground held M1 Garand and let him out in one go.

"Ding!" With a bang, the empty magazine popped out, making a pleasant sound.

"Shit!" At this time, the instructor suddenly yelled at a brother, "What is your name?" Private of the first class! ”

"Roy Kaber, Sergeant!" Kaber stood up in frustration.

"Do you have eyes on your asshole? Look at your shots, eight rounds in one magazine, where did you hit them? "The non-commissioned officer instructor was very angry, and Kaber only had four bullets on target, and the results were indeed a bit miserable.

At this time, the master chief walked up to Parks again: "Sergeant, what name do you teach?" ”

Parks stood up: "Lacey Parks! ”

"Very good! Keep it up! Master Chief patted Parks on the shoulder, and then asked suspiciously, "Is that Parks who invented physical training?" ”

"Yes!" Parks nodded.

This time the non-commissioned officer didn't say anything. He just had the target in front of Parks come over, and it was unrecognizable, with a big hole in the middle.

"Look, gentlemen, that's what shooting is!" The non-commissioned officer shouted loudly at the brothers in the second platoon, "In the future, when you go to battle, either you will kill the Germans, or you will be killed by the Germans." ”

This really shocked the brothers in the second row. Looking at the big hole in the middle, it was clear that all eight bullets had passed through the very center of the target, what a horrific thing for these rookies who were just starting to shoot.

"Keep up the good work!" The non-commissioned officer instructor nodded at Parks.

As soon as the training was over, Karber couldn't wait to express his opinion, and he looked very proud: "Look, fortunately I was prescient, Parks can't describe him as human at all." ”

White gave him a blank look: "Kaber, you should be glad that you kept a month's salary." ”

Obviously, this training has shown everyone another skill of Parks.

"I've heard that Bauls Sifford in the platoon has good marksmanship too, hey, Parks, why don't you try it out with him. I bet you'll be able to beat him. Kaber yelled.

Obviously, this attracted the brothers in the second row.

"Do it, Parks!" Gurnelly was intrigued, "I'll bet you won!" Fifty dollars. ”

"Hey, hey, count me in, I'll bet fifty dollars too!" Tipper squeezed over at this time, looking at Parks with hope.

Parks shook his head, "No, I won't take the initiative to compete with my brothers." Parks made it clear that he refused, because no matter what the result was, the people who participated in the competition had a bit of a burden in their hearts, and it was not good for both of them.

Obviously, the people in the second row were disappointed.

But the disappointment didn't last long. Because the brothers in the first row also knew that Parks' shooting was also great, and they had Sifudi, it was clear that they also wanted to take a gamble.

"Parks, take it, like a man!" Private Albert Bleibaba, a platoon of privates, ran over and conveyed the wishes of the brothers in the platoon, "Brother Sifo has agreed, come on, it's a game of darts!" ”

Parks looked at the brothers in the second row and saw that they were all looking at him with blank eyes, so he had to shrug his shoulders: "Okay, I promised!" ”
