Chapter 102
The senior commanders of the Allied forces were stupid at this time, the casualties of this battle were very high, whether they planned for it or reported to the leaders of the parties, but now, the casualty rate was less than a quarter of their own estimates.
This is not a surprise, you must know that in such an important battle, when the final merit is calculated, the casualty rate under your own command is very low, which is a great achievement.
Of course, the supreme commander here knew that the reason for the low casualty rate was that the captain named Su Zhe and his magical ability made this tough battle easier, which made him very happy, and immediately ordered Su Zhe to be awarded the Order of the Purple Heart, and his rank was raised by one rank, and he became a major.
However, Su Zhe didn't know this yet, he now understood why soldiers liked to smoke during the war, and the pressure was very high, and Su Zhe didn't feel strange if he had something more exciting.
The beach had calmed down, and although gunshots could still be faintly heard in the distance, it had little to do with the tired soldiers on the beach.
When Su Zhe first started the landing craft and was about to go ashore, there were about dozens of people, but now there are less than twenty people left, which shows how cruel this battle is.
Of course, Su Zhe has not forgotten what he is here for, fighting is secondary, although there are rewards for going to the beach, but he still has to find John. Miller can do it.
The soldiers who were still alive were driven by Su Zhe to find John, while he himself leaned against the stones of the beach and blew the sea breeze comfortably, although the stench of blood mixed with sea water reverberated on the beach.
"Master, I'm back." Lily's armor was a little blackened by the flames of the battlefield, but it wasn't a big problem, Lily's armor was originally magically condensed, and it only needed to be reset to be intact.
Su Zhe nodded and didn't say anything, but the soldiers around him cheered separately, and Lily already had the reputation of the goddess of the battlefield at this time.
"Master, I'm bothered by this, you take care of them." Lily blushed, where did the knight king have this kind of experience, although Lily was also the king of a country who had led soldiers to fight, but could the knights at that time be the same as the current American soldiers? The knights are all moral models of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith.
Look at the American GIs in the thirties and forties of the 20th century, born in the contemporary era, grew up in the contemporary era, or the hodgepodge in the United States, people are frivolous, the pressure of war is great, and they urgently need to vent, and beautiful women are naturally the focus of attention of the GIs.
Of course, Su Zhe won't let these big-headed soldiers wantonly tease Lily, how can he say that this is also his own sister.
"It's all right, Lily is your chief's wife, and then you will be dealt with by military law."
"Huh~" The soldiers booed, but it can be noticed that the soldiers have relented.
But Lily, her face was only a little red at first, but as soon as Su Zhe finished speaking, her face was red as if she was about to bleed, she stomped her feet, and almost covered her face and ran away.
"Report sir, Lieutenant John has been found." A private ran up to Su Zhe and said.
Su Zhe nodded: "Got it, tell me the location, and you can go and rest." ”
Su Zhe stood up and patted his buttocks, ready to go to Lieutenant John, but the private said, "Sir, Lieutenant John is coming for you." ”
He owed a little, revealing the figure of the soldier behind him.
Strong and upright figure, facing upwards looks a little simple, but there is an indescribable perseverance and courage.
"Captain." John gave a military salute, he was a lieutenant, and Su Zhe was still a captain, with a higher rank than him, so naturally he saluted Su Zhe.
Su Zhe looked at him after returning the salute, and felt that the world was really wonderful sometimes. Lieutenant Miller regarded him as his idol in life, and even inspired to become a man like him, and now he saluted himself again, how wonderful life is.
"Lieutenant, did the brigade headquarters assign you a mission?"
John shook his head suspiciously: "There is no sir." ”
Su Zhe nodded, it seemed that he was in a hurry, and the task had not yet been issued.
"Captain? If you don't have anything to do, I'm going to report to the brigade headquarters. John asked tentatively, he was very puzzled why Su Zhe came to him, but he couldn't refuse him, first, the order of his superiors, and second, all the American soldiers who participated in the landing owed Su Zhe a big favor.
"You're going to the brigade headquarters? Okay, let's go together. Su Zhe patted the dust off his helmet and went to the brigade headquarters with John.
John Miller opened his mouth and didn't speak, letting Su Zhe follow him.
"Oh, look who this is, our great hero Sue, welcome to you, the entire American military welcomes you." The brigade commander's mustache was skimmed, which was very funny.
Su Zhe took a step back awkwardly, politely refused the brigade commander's hug, saluted a military salute, and exchanged a few polite words with Su Zhe.
"John, I am now going to give you an important task, and this order is given directly from the United States Army Staff." The brigade commander patted John Miller on the shoulder, his face a little heavy.
"I now want you to form a squad and go deep into enemy-occupied territory to find a soldier of the 101st Airborne Division, named James. Ryan, at all costs, bring him back, bring him back to the United States. ”
John Miller was stunned: "Brigade commander? Are you kidding me? ”
The brigade commander coughed embarrassedly: "I didn't give this order, it was the staff headquarters, and I just conveyed it." ”
John Miller's face was very ugly: "Do you want me to take my people to risk going deep into enemy-occupied areas to find people?" It's really ......."
Su Zhe sneered, once when he watched the movie Saving Private Ryan, Su Zhe believed that all the audience had a question.
A squad, consisting of eight people, risking their lives to go to enemy-occupied territory and bring back another soldier? Is it worth it?
This calculation formula Su Zhe himself is not worth it no matter how he calculates it, even if this background is that a mother has lost three sons, and this is the mother's last son, there is a certain value to bring him back.
But in order to rescue James. Ryan, John Miller's squad paid several lives to bring back a mother's son, but weren't these dead soldiers the sons of other mothers?
This question is very unsolvable, it just depends on your value trade-offs.
John Miller was initially reluctant to accept orders, but out of the duty of a soldier to obey orders, John Miller was ready to take on the task.
However, before he could speak, Su Zhe spoke first: "Brigade commander, leave this task to me, let the lieutenant and his people be under my command." ”
The brigade commander was stunned, and then said excitedly: "Okay, yes, John, can you accept this?" ”
Of course, John Miller knew Su Zhe's ability and readily agreed, as for who would command this kind of thing, he would care who he would love and who he would love.
Su Zhe smiled, they knew what was waiting behind this mission.
