"Zink, there's good news, we've been in contact with the 1st Airborne Division." Lieutenant Colonel Stryll walked into the regimental headquarters, and then smiled excitedly at Colonel Zink, "I just came back from the division headquarters, and General Taylor personally confirmed the news!" ”

Zink was sitting in a chair sipping delicious coffee, then he slowly put the cup of coffee on the table, took a puff of his cigar and nodded, "This is indeed good news, how are they now?" Let's hope those Brits are doing well! Zink didn't look excited, he was looking down at a document.

"You don't care at all right now?" Lieutenant Colonel Stryll looked at Colonel Zink's appearance and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Colonel Zinke seemed to remember something, suddenly put down the papers, and then looked up at Lieutenant Colonel Strieve, "Oh God, is there any news of Lieutenant Parks?" Are they still alive? E even a row of people alive? ”

Striele couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you didn't care about this at all." Yes, that's the good news for me. Briton? Who can control them? Yes, Parks they're still alive. And in perfect condition! ”

"Very good!" Zink stood up, then nodded and smiled, "What's going on?" Streil, you can go into more detail, I wonder what the hell is going on with those lads, what have they been doing these days? ”

Striele shook his head and laughed, "You might be surprised. In fact, once again, Parks has impressed us. Do you know why the Germans, when they have the upper hand, suddenly shrink their lines and then retreat? ”

"Getting to the point!" Colonel Zink chuckled at Lieutenant Colonel Stryll with a cigar in his hand, "Don't try to sell it. ”

"The oil and ammunition depots of the Germans were blown up. They had to shrink their lines and then retreat. "And it's not the British, nor the Poles, it's the Americans, Lieutenant Parks in the first platoon of Company E." Oh God, it's unbelievable to think about it! ”

"Beautiful!" Colonel Sink couldn't help but whistle, and it was clear that he couldn't help it.

"Well, I'll just put it simply, he's done more than that!" Lieutenant Colonel Stryll then told with great interest how Parks counterattacked the bridge after the sneak attack on the ammunition depot and oil depot, how he caused the Germans to hit each other and cause heavy casualties, how he joined forces with the Polish paratroopers to attack the southern part of the Arnhem Bridge, and how the Germans protected the bridge at the moment when the Germans blew up the bridge.

"This is what General Taylor told you personally?" Colonel Zink suddenly looked at Streel.

"Yes, Zink, there's no problem with that, it's not hearsay, it's General Urquhart himself after the British 1st Airborne Division and the command were in contact, General Taylor was there at the time, and it's all what has happened, and now Parks is at Arnhem Bridge with General Urquhart, General John Forlost, and General Sushabowski. There is no doubt about it! Colonel Stryll swore to Zink, "Maybe you can ask General Taylor!" ”

Zink hurriedly walked over, patted his arm and smiled, "I'm sorry, Stryll, I didn't doubt your words, I didn't mean that, it's just that your news made me ...... Some can't believe it! God, it's a miracle! ”

Strell nodded at Colonel Zink and smiled: "Actually, when I heard General Taylor's words, I had the same reaction as you, except that I didn't directly question his words, because he is a general and my immediate boss, and I am just your subordinate!" In the chain of command, if you want to question, it is generally the superior to the subordinate, and if you want to complain, it is the subordinate who complains to the superior! ”

"Can I take this as a complaint?" Zink couldn't help but smile. Striele's words made him suddenly feel a burst of relief, and it also made him feel a lot more relaxed.

"If you think so!" Strell spread out his hands and smiled, then sat down and said to Zink, "Is there any smoke?" I mean cigars! ”

"I thought you didn't smoke!" Zink took a cigar from the metal box and handed it over, then lit it for him and smiled, "Looks like this is exciting for you!" ”

"Of course, Zink, aren't you the same?" Stryll took a puff of his cigarette, then unskillfully highlighted his eyes, and said with a smile, "But I still have to congratulate you, now you don't have to worry about the selection of the company commander of E Company!" ”

Zink nodded, then smiled, "Should I think about it again, Lieutenant Parks is promoted much faster than the two of us." I remember when he started in Normandy, he was just a sergeant. Now he is actually a lieutenant, and he may be a captain, and then he will become a company commander! ”

"That's not a problem, Zink! The speed at which he was promoted was the same as the miracles he performed. Striele took a puff of his cigarette, but it was clear that it didn't taste as good as he thought, and he frowned, "General Taylor will definitely not have an opinion." What's more, this time it is a good thing to be able to make those British people with their eyes on the top of their heads look down. I believe this means a lot to General Taylor! ”

"It's the same for us!" Zink poured two glasses of wine, then walked over and handed Striele one, smiling.

"Proud British!" Striele raised his glass and smiled.

"To the great 506 regiment!" Zinker laughed, and the cups of the two collided with each other, making a crisp "ding" sound.

Colonel Sink immediately conveyed the news to the battalion headquarters of the 506th Regiment, and then the battalion headquarters quickly informed the subordinate companies of the news, and the interim commander of the second battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Chase, promptly told the news to the company headquarters of E Company, which was still on board.

"God, this is a miracle. Lacey: They are still alive, and they are still alive and well. At the company headquarters, Nickerson was holding a wine glass, and he smiled happily and said to Winters, "I said he always surprises people!" ”

"Wonder Boy? Isn't it? Halig smiled on the side, obviously hearing this news made every recruit in the platoon, including Halig who was temporarily leading the platoon, very happy.

"I have to say, Lacey is the best officer I've ever met!" Winters smiled at Nickerson and said, "Nick, why don't you give one of us a drink for me?" Today we can celebrate! ”

Nickerson couldn't help but shrug his shoulders: "I thought you didn't drink." ”

"I didn't say I wanted to drink, but Haliger, Pikak, they might want a drink! That's good news, isn't it? Winters smiled at Nickerson, and today's news is really uplifting. Parks had done something that ordinary people would not have been able to do, and he could have brought back all the brothers he had taken out intact, and this time he had fulfilled his promise.

Soon the brothers of E-Company knew the news, and they knew that Parks was not dead, and that he had done something earth-shattering. This made many recruits envious, and all veterans felt regretful.

"I can't believe it...... It's crazy, Sergeant Mook, if it weren't for Company Commander Winters telling about it himself, I would have thought it would be a magical story! Sergei sat in a foxhole on the outskirts of Yuden and said to Muk, who was sitting next to him, full of surprise.

"There's nothing strange about that." Mook laughed, "Everyone in Company E knows that Lieutenant Parks can do it, so you look at me and are you surprised?" You'll get used to it later. ”

"I hope I have the opportunity to participate in Lieutenant Parkes' operations in the future. God, Miller, Heflang, and Huxs really got shit lucky. They were actually able to participate in the operation with Lieutenant Parkes. Sergei looked a little self-pitying.

"There's a chance, man, as long as you don't get into the paratrooper pit in the future. There's always a chance to do it once! Mook nodded at him, then muttered in a dejected tone, "Actually, I myself want to wait for such an opportunity so that I can brag about it when I return to my hometown." ”

"Hey, what did you say?" A voice came from behind them, "I heard that the Germans have retreated, this is a safe place, it seems that we will either advance or go home." ”

"Tybert!" Mook stood up and gestured to Tybert coming from behind, "Hey, we were talking about Lieutenant Parks, teach this recruit a lesson, and tell him that you went on a rescue mission with Lieutenant Parkes." ”

When Tybert heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then sat down in the foxhole, the three of them huddled together, nodded and said, "It was a very interesting experience, to be honest, it was very exciting, and of course we won in the end!" ”

"Oh, please, can you be more detailed, Sergeant!" Sergan was clearly not satisfied with such an explanation.

"Okay, okay!" Tybert said to Sergei with a look of triumph, "Let your fledgling boy rise and see today!" Tybert then begins to paint a picture of the situation of the rescue mission. In fact, he has described this situation several times. Even when he was picking up girls in Paris, it was his best bragging capital.

But Parks, far away on the Arnhem Bridge, is actually far from as beautiful as they say it is. According to Admiral Urquhart's instructions, he had to hold the bridge for four days. It was clear that the assignment had put him in an awkward position.

The British and Dutch were setting up sniper positions against the Germans near the bridge. They had less than a day, and everyone was frantically digging trenches and defensive positions and foxholes.

Parks, on the other hand, dug a foxhole with his brothers, and then lay down comfortably in the foxhole, watching the soldiers busy like ants.

"Look at why they can lie down so comfortably, it's not fair!" A Polish soldier whispered to his companion.

"Hey, they saved us, don't do that, okay?" It was another Polish soldier next to him who spoke, he was Sandra, and in fact he now admired Parks them.

"Well, I'm not going to talk about it. They're uncles, now! The soldier shook his head, it was clear that he still had some resentment in his heart, and this time defensively. It is clear that the Americans of this platoon are also excluded. In other words, if the Germans attacked, it would be the British and themselves who were desperate.

"Boss, are we really doing nothing?" Webster, who was lying next to Guannery, suddenly said to Parks. He's pretty much calling Parks "Chief" now, and rightfully so. He even had such thoughts!

"If you don't want to go, you can go over and help them dig up those damn earthworks, I won't stop you!" Parks smiled slightly, "We have our business, remember, although we only have a platoon, we represent the US side!" ”
