Chapter 102 Promotion
The command did not take advantage of the victory to attack the Germans, but the next day, it tentatively shelled the German positions, but the Germans also counterattacked with 88mm cannons and 105mm cannons. Although it was not very fierce, it made the people in the headquarters more cautious. General Taylor gave it to Sink's The answer is: It doesn't matter whether Colonel Haite was killed or not. The key is that the German command system has not been completely destroyed. The rash attack will cause heavy losses to the US [***] team.
"I really don't know if their heads have been kicked by a donkey!" Sink seemed to be very radical. He was angry at the regimental headquarters, and he was angry in front of Lieutenant Winters. "It's okay to send our 506 regiment to test the attack."
Winters didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything. He had been in the camp for a while, and then stood there watching Colonel Sink keep scratching and smoking a cigar.
"I'm going to meet Second Lieutenant Parks in person, and I'm going to apply for the Congressional Medal for him. And of course, you, Winters. You defended the right wing of the defense line and played a role in determining the battle of Carrington. Colonel Sink smiled at Winters' face, and he couldn't see that he was still angry and scratching his stomach just now.
"Medal of Congress?" Winters muttered in his heart that Parks may be eligible for it, but if he wants it, can he issue two at the same time? Although he didn't say anything, he obviously didn't have much hope for Sink's statement.
"What else, sir?" Winters was very puzzled. Sink called himself to say these things. There must be a task, which is his usual trick.
Sink looked at Winters and nodded and said, "Dick, I know you are an excellent officer who can always do the hardest tasks and fight continuously. Now we need to replace the soldiers on the south line of Carlington, and now I think only Company E is qualified for such a task. Tomorrow, you will enter the defense line. Is there any problem?
Winters had no choice. He nodded and said, "Yes, sir, no problem!"
"Have a good talk with your brothers!" Colonel Sink.
Dick nodded and then said, "Sier, what about the commandos? They need to rest.
Sink was stunned for a moment and then said, "You are free to arrange it. By the way, I have made a battlefield appointment for Parks. I hope you can wear it for him with your own hands. He will feel very honored. With that, he took out a silver bar from his pocket and handed it to Parks.
Winters took it, played with it in his hand, and then nodded and said, "Yes, Parks is an officer. He deserves it, sir, thank you!"
Sink nodded and sat in the chair without talking. His eyes moved to a newspaper. This is the manner of ending the conversation. Winters also said goodbye at this time.
The commandos were all classified into their own platoons. For them, the mission is over, and they are no longer commandos, but ordinary members of Company E. But this does not prevent them from bragging in front of the brothers of Company E.
Malachi looked very depressed. The Luger he had been looking for has now appeared several times in the E Company, and it was basically captured by commandos, and even Pai Kandi found one.
"Do you know that the German was shaking when he was checking the truck carriage, even more than the German who was held by his pistol." Gernery was sitting in the room of the room with a brilliant speaker's speech, and beside him was surrounded by a group of E company brothers, laughing at his words.
"He has said it three times!" Carper sat against the wall next to the crowd, took a bottle of wine, took a sip, and said to Private Hawker next to him, "He has gone from the first row to the third row."
"Are you jealous?" Hawker laughed with a hee.
"What do you think?" Cabo stared at him, "Is it necessary for me to be jealous of him? I just can't listen to this kind of thing that has been repeated too many times. With that, he went out with the wine bottle.
"Hey, Kab. We are going to enter the defense zone tomorrow!" Hall smiled behind him and said, "You can also fight hard with the Germans."
Kaber ignored him and walked straight away. But the brothers of Company E know that they will re-enter the position tomorrow, and today should be a good day to enjoy.
As soon as Karbo walked out, a military jeep galloped in front of him and almost hit him, which made the frustrated Karbo couldn't help scolding, "Damn it, can you drive? Drive the cannonball, you stupid pig.
Obviously, Carbo's curse attracted the attention of the people in the jeep. A middle-aged man couldn't help frowning and said to a sergeant driving beside him, "Sergeant Kate, is this the soldier of your 101st Division?"
Sergeant Kate frowned, looked through the mirror, and then smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "Yes, I think he must have drunk too much. Mr. McCarham, please don't mind. It's definitely an isolated phenomenon to get soldiers like this.
The middle-aged man known as Mr. McCarham didn't say anything, but frowned slightly. He knew that his task today was to interview Colonel Sink, the commander of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Division, who won the battle in Carrington.
The jeep stopped at the regimental headquarters. Colonel Sink personally greeted Mr. McCarham at the entrance of the command department. Seeing him get out of the car, he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, Mr. McCarham."
"It's an honor to meet you!" With a smile on his face, McCallum stepped forward and held Colonel Sink's hand.
Coloe Sink welcomed McCarham into the headquarters. There are also Lieutenant Colonel Stry and several lieutenants and staff officers in the headquarters.
"I interviewed you on behalf of the Washington Star. You and your army have made brilliant achievements in the battle of Carlington. I think we all the people of the United States have the right to know how our army fought bravely on the front line, especially those excellent commanders. This is the purpose of my interview, Mr. Colonel.
Sink smiled and said, "Mr. McCarham, please ask. I promise in the name of a soldier that what I said is true, and there will be no suspicion of exaggeration. Please rest assured!"
"Then let's talk about the battle of Carrington! I think many people are very interested in this victory now!" McCarham opened his notebook and was ready to take notes.
Colonel Sink talked a lot about the layout of the battle, the decision of the regiment, and the performance of the companies, especially the E Company and Lieutenant Winters. He said, "It is because of the leadership of Winters that they stick to the key to this line of defense. On the position, the firepower of mortars and machine guns was used to repel the enemy's attack. He was an excellent soldier on that battlefield. In the case of extremely fierce fighting, the reason why they can hold their position is inseparable from his personal bravery and knowledge of combat.
"Lieutenant Winters?" McCarham wrote down the name in his notebook and circled it in a circle.
After talking with Colonel Sink for a while, McCarham nodded and then continued to ask, "I heard that the Army Department arranged a surprise operation to rescue the soldier Niland, which was very successful. It not only rescued Neyland, but also saved 20 prisoners of war at the same time, one of whom was a lieutenant. Can you talk about the commander in charge of this operation?
"It's Second Lieutenant Parks!" When Colonel Sink said the name, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, but he didn't say much. "This is a very good officer."
"Can you be specific?" McCarham continued to ask. Obviously, he was more interested in the second lieutenant Parks in Sink's mouth. Is he a lonely hero? This made him cheer up.
"Well, I can only say that he is a very good officer, which is the pride of the 506th Regiment!" Colonel Sink smiled and said, "Mr. McCarham, it's time to eat. Why don't you taste the lunch in the field?"
McCarham knew that he couldn't ask anything. He also wrote the name of "Parks" in his notebook, then drew several circles on it with a pen, closed his notebook and smiled, "It's my honor, Mr. Colonel."
Lunch is held in a happy atmosphere. Then after lunch, McCarham asked a few more questions and ended the interview. Colonel Sink sent him out of Carrington.
Parks went to a row after lunch, and he smiled and greeted all the brothers.
"Sir, shall we go to the defense line south of Carrington tomorrow? Why don't we have a good rest? It was Tybert who was talking. He was finishing the chat with his brothers and then said to Parks.
"It's better not to call me this in the company!" Parks shook his head with a smile, "The team has been disbanded, and we are now a member of the E Company, calling my rank or name. I'm sure you prefer to call me by my name.
"Yes, sir!" Tybert smiled, and then lowered his voice and said, "I still like to call you head in private."
Parks smiled and said nothing more. He walked over. At this time, White handed over a bottle of wine: "Would you like some?"
Parks nodded, took a sip, and then said to White, "Yes, we will enter the defense line with the brothers of Company E tomorrow. Tebert, we have come back. Without a team, we have to obey orders like other brothers!" Then he laughed and said, "This is what Captain Thorber taught us when he was in the Tacoya barracks."
"Haha!" Everyone laughed.
"Let's go, horse! Go three miles, come three miles!" Luz shouted loudly, and then patted Tybert's buttocks, learning from Captain Sober's tone. Then he laughed.
"Damn it, Luz!" Tybert shouted, "You should put a layer of butter on your asshole and stuff a sandwich into it so that you won't say anything!"
At this time, Marachi at the door suddenly shouted, "Li-Zheng!"
Everyone stood up with a conditioned reflex and stood upright. At this time, Wentes, Nixon and Wales came from the door.
"Sit a break," Winters nodded, and then said, "Hon, brothers!"
When everyone sat down, Winters waved to Parks and smiled, "I knew you were here, so I came over."
When Parks came over, he took out a silver bar from his pocket and smiled, "Coloe Sink thinks you should be promoted, Lieutenant Parks."
