Chapter 83 is about morale

The GIs of E Company, after a vicious battle, are very comfortable stretching their minds and bodies, although there is no hot bath, but they can relax everything, D Company and F Company are responsible for the perimeter guard, what else is there to worry about?

"Malachi, if the war ends before Christmas, I don't think you have much hope of getting Ruger!" Paikanti always likes to give a little blow to Marachi, who is talking in high spirits.

"Get ready, we're ready to go again!" At this time, a voice came from the side of several people.

Everyone was looking, and it was Lieutenant Spierre.

"Take advantage of the time to enjoy the sun." As he spoke, he passed through several people.

"Don't they know that we've just entered this place and experienced a fierce battle?" Christenson said this entirely because he was not satisfied with the news just now.

Spiel glanced back at Christenson and smiled, "Yes." So saying, he walked away.

"Damn it!" Christen scolded.

Malaqi couldn't help but grimace: "It seems that the better the E Company performs, the easier it will be remembered by those commanders, and then desperately let us carry out this or that dangerous mission, I can see it." ”

"Spierre?" Gernelly didn't answer Marachi's words, he smiled at Christen, "You're done, are you sure you didn't scold him in that sentence just now?" He's a wolf. ”

Christen said angrily, "Even if he's a wolf, what's the matter?" What about the wolf? I'm just complaining that Company E is not the only company in the 2nd Battalion. ”

Goneri smiled: "To the Germans, he is a wolf. Do you know about his killing of prisoners? A dozen Germans, he killed them, hehe! ”

"What's my business?" Christenson muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Beware of him killing you on the battlefield!" Goneri chuckled, "I'd rather be killed by the Germans than offend such a guy and make people worry." ”

The GIs of Company E received the news that they were about to take part in a new defensive battle to encircle Carrington. Obviously, they were going to be on the perimeter to block the Germans.

"That's not good news!" Kaber looked so angry that he couldn't help but shout.

But the others were silent. There was a resentment in the hearts of the brothers. Much of this resentment stems from the damage sustained during the attack on Carrington, as well as extreme tension and exhaustion.

"Parks is here, why don't you ask him what he said?" At this time, White suddenly spoke, and then saw Parks appear at the door of the warehouse, he had just come out of the company.

Parks accepted Winters' assignment at the company headquarters. To be honest, he knew that this battle was inevitable, but what was important now was not how to avoid it, but how to get his brothers to calmly devote themselves to the battle.

"Parks, what's the problem?" Winters noticed the look on Parks' face and couldn't help but ask, "Say it, we can discuss it together." ”

Parks nodded, "That's right." Now that the brothers of our company have taken up the task of attacking Carrington this time, many of them are tired, and they are counting on being able to rest and recuperate, and then another company will take over such a blocking mission. But......" he spread out his hands, looking helpless.

"You're worried about your brothers' emotional problems?" Winters nodded, "It's really worth taking seriously. ”

"Gotta talk to them." Compton next to him nodded.

Not just him, Wales and Nexon felt it was very necessary. A company without morale will inevitably lose its operational efficiency.

"We don't have enough people!" Winters also looked helpless, "But you have to hold Carrington, all right, Parks, your suggestion is very good, talk to the brothers in the platoon!" Then we're ready to go! ”

Parks left the company headquarters and ran directly to the platoon, time was very tight, and the operation of E Company was about to begin.

"Parks, are we leaving?" White yelled at Parks. His voice drew the other brothers in the platoon to him, and they looked at Parks eagerly, hoping to get the exact news out of his mouth.

"Yes, guys!" Parks nodded, "We're going to hold Carrington, and we're going to be fighting along the railroad line, fighting on the high ground, and stopping the German counteroffensive." ”

"Oh-" At this time, many people began to cry out in disappointment, "no! We've all been fighting for the day, so why don't we rest and fight the Germans? ”

Parks shook his head and said loudly, "Alright, brothers, it's our duty, don't forget what we're here for." I think the same as everyone else, but war is like this, either you die or I live. Don't expect the battalion headquarters or regiment headquarters and the Germans to give us a comfortable fight, that is unrealistic, since we have chosen to be a GI, then we have no choice. Cheer up, if we can repel the Germans, our good days will come, and we have to fight for it. Don't count on God! ”

"Well, Parks, we admit you have a point!" Gunari entered the warehouse at some point, and he stood up, "Guys, get ready to go, get rid of the Germans, and we'll go home for Christmas." ”

"I'll be a pioneer!" Paikanti, with his submachine gun, also stood up.

At this time, someone outside the warehouse shouted loudly: "Assemble Company E, we are leaving!" ”

Parks gestured to Paikon, then shouted, "E Company, a platoon, march in columns, go!" The soldiers in the warehouse suddenly made a "whoop", stood up, and consciously lined up in columns.

Company E set off again, and they marched along the railroad with a platoon at the front of the company. At this time, there was a little rain in the sky, which made the whole road look muddy, and the mud was particularly sticky, sticking to the shoes, making the footsteps feel heavier and heavier.

"Rutz, how far do we have to go?" Paikanti couldn't help but speak, "This damn road is so torturous. He couldn't help but shake the dirt off his shoe, and a large chunk of dirt flew out from under the shoe and smashed it on Kaber's head.

"Damn it! You hit me. Kaber glared back at Paikanti, then picked up a piece of dirt from the road and threw it at Paikanti, only to be dodged by him.

"I don't know, Paikanti!" Lutz shook his head a little helplessly, "Keep going until they tell us to stop, and we'll stop." ”

"To the high ground ahead!" Hubler interjected, "Soon." ”

Paikanti couldn't help but complain again: "Okay, genius, then you tell me, why is Company E the only company, either playing the vanguard or being exposed to the front line of the battlefield like now?" Makes you scared at any time? ”

"We've never seen each other before!" Paikanti became more and more energetic the more he spoke, "And we are only the fifth company in the regimental headquarters, from A Company to I Company, think about it?" ”

"Why didn't you go in the middle?" At this time, Parks, who was not far away, smiled, "At least we were in the middle of the night when we were moving towards Carrington, and in front of us was F Company to take the lead. ”

Then he added, "However, the people in the regimental headquarters must have begun to wake up now, and it is obviously a major mistake to exclude F Company from taking the lead, so that we often cut off contact with them." So, everyone can see that, that's why E-Company is always at the forefront. ”

"Haha!" Immediately, the surrounding GIs burst into laughter.

"Yes, in the eyes of the regimental headquarters or General Taylor, our E Company should be the best company." Lutz whistled at this point, and it was clear that they were lifted a little emotionally by Parks' words.

In fact, this is just a little psychological relief. But when the GIs are depressed, even the slightest comforting word, even a joke, can lift their spirits.

"Parks, I think you should be a battalion commander, not a platoon commander!" Paikanti laughed too, "In that case, we might be in the middle, you know Company E too well, and you know Company D and Company F." ”

"Well, I hope Captain Zinke will listen to you!" Parks shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care. ”

There was another round of laughter in the ranks.

"No, Paikanti, you're wrong, I think the second lieutenant should be the company commander and then kick your ass in the back with a rifle while you cringe." Malaki didn't just get past a chance to fight Paikanti.

"But, he's still a platoon commander now, isn't he?" Paikanti smiled, "To be honest, I like such a platoon commander, I just have a little admiration for his combat ability." I'm glad to be in this platoon. ”

"Oh-" At this time, laughter rang out from the side, and White snorted twice, "Paikondy, you're a sycophant." Don't expect a few kind words to raise your ranks. ”

"Very well said, Paikanti. Thank you so much for the respect you have for me, that makes me proud, yes, I'm proud of you. Parks smiled, "But you have to be careful not to salute me in front of the Germans." I've told my brothers before that this is how I used this against Captain Sauber. However, he was lucky not to have the opportunity for his brothers to put it into practice. ”

Suddenly there was another burst of laughter.

In such an atmosphere, the brothers of E Company gradually raised their original depressed and depressed emotions, and their originally indignant hearts have slowly become a little passionate.

The ranks are advancing. In the distance, I saw a fence in front of me. Parks took the rifle off his shoulder and held it, then shouted loudly, "Attention, watch the fence." Prevent the ambush of the Germans there. ”
