Chapter 212 British Colonel
Gernelly's funny shouting made Li Pu feel funny and helpless. He responded without looking back and said, "Of course, Gernelly, if you don't mind dragging three balls! I will make up another one for you. Make one with the British supply meat!"
"Oh, you lost, Mr. Gonorrhea. You said that Li Pu would not be joking. He is not as serious as you said!" At this time, someone suddenly laughed at Granry and shouted, "Ten dollars, you lost me, hurry up!" Obviously, they are betting there.
"Li Pu, I hate you!" Gernelly shouted loudly. Then it triggered a burst of laughter.
Li Pu couldn't help shaking his head, and then continued to say hello to the brothers in the trench. This is his duty. He has always regarded this as his care for the E Company brothers to prevent these guys from making irrational actions when they are complacent or pessimistic, resulting in casualties.
Of course, although the brothers in the trench are aggrieved, they can still find some ways to comfort themselves. They always try to find some fun, or when they send someone out to patrol, they scrape something by the way, first from the nearby Dutch house, and then to some abandoned by the previous Germans. Look for their supplies on the position. The Germans attacked quickly and retreated quickly, but they lost a lot of their positions.
Germans' wine tastes bad, but cigarettes are much better than British ones, which is also the best thing that many people find when patrolling. Although the food supply of the Germans is not much better than that of the British.
"German smoke!" Parks threw a bag to Wales, "When White was patrolling, it was collected from the abandoned positions of the Germans. This is the best gift that the Germans can get!"
Wales lit one, then took a deep breath, highlighted his eyes and smiled, "It's much better than the British. I like the taste. This is the only good thing the Germans have done!"
" By the way, at two o'clock in the afternoon, you have to go to the regimental headquarters. Colonel Sink may have a task for you." Wales said, "You're not here. I answered the phone. I hope you can meet something good this time, such as welcoming the labor army of the U.S. army. I heard that they have taken a boat from Britain to the Netherlands, and they are likely to come to the battlefield to comfort their brothers."
"What Legion of Labor?" Parks couldn't help looking at Wales in surprise.
"Oh, God, your news is so uninformed." Wales said with a smile, "When I went to the battalion headquarters once, I heard what the people in the battalion headquarters said. I think Winters and Nixon have known the news for a long time!"
"Is Marlene Deli in there?" Parks suddenly asked.
"Of course, otherwise Sink would not have made great efforts to get her here. To be honest, I really want to see her. Parks, you have to find a way to get this job!" Wales said with a laugh.
"Don't even think about it, this is Colonel Sink's patent!" Parks shook his head, and then smiled, Marlene Deli? This woman really wants to see it herself.
But obviously, he was wrong. It was impossible for the commander of Sink to give such a beautiful difference to any officer. Parks also met Winters and Nixon on the way, and both of them obviously went to the regimental headquarters. Parks was walking, and Nixon invited Parks to get into their jeep.
"Are you also for Marlene Deli?" The first sentence after Parks got on the car made Winterschoked, but Nixon laughed.
"I don't think so." Nixon laughed and said, "Coloe Sink won't let others touch it!" But he met a British colonel early this morning, which may have something to do with it.
"Oh, it seems that we are really wrong!" Parks smiled awkwardly.
Winters shook his head and said, "No, you will be wrong, not us!"
"Look, I always thought he didn't have any humor. It seems that the rumors may not be true!" Nixon shook his head and smiled, "But this guy did a stupid thing this morning."
"I know!" Parks smiled and said, "Dick poured the urine in your bottle on you, didn't he?"
"Oh, God, oh, Les, how do you know? When did this happen? Has it spread? Nixon couldn't help exclaiming, and then stared at Parks.
"It's not a secret. Men always can't find the toilet when they are sleeping," Parks said with a smile. "Of course, more importantly, some people don't want to find the toilet at all. Obviously, I'm just guessing from person to person! I didn't expect to hit it. Is it my luck, or are you too unlucky?
"Oh, damn it, son of a bitch!" Nixon whispered to Winters again, "Are you happy now? I guess before it's dark today, maybe I can't wait for that time. All the guys in the 506 regiment know it. I put my urine in a glass bottle, and then I was drenched by you. Dick, I hate you!"
Winters shrugged his shoulders and said, "This matter has been known to the whole group!"
"Everyone knows that you drenched me with my urine?" Nixon said angrily.
"No, no, Nick!" Winters smiled and said, "I mean your habit of peeing in a glass bottle when you go to bed at night."
The three of them talked all the way, and the jeep drove into the regimental headquarters. Then I saw that in addition to Colonel Sink and some staff officers, there was also a British colonel in a red hat.
"Oh, no way, Colonel Sink's face is really ugly!" After entering the door, Parks glanced at Colonel Sink and whispered to Winters.
"Dick, Parks, come here. This is the colonel of the first airborne division of the British army." Colonel Sink waved to Winters and Parks, and then pointed to the red hat British colonel sitting next to him.
"Captain Winters is the commander of the second battalion, and Captain Parks is the company commander of Company E!" Colonel Sink looked at him and introduced Winters and Parks. Then he and Colonel Dobby walked to a map by the table and pointed to the map and said, "The British army lost nearly 8,000 brothers in the market garden operation, so they came here to coordinate the rescue operation. Rescue the Red Devil troops trapped when they fell in the Arnam area.
The colonel looked at Winters and Parks, and then pointed to the position on the map and said, "The Dutch underground resistance organized 140 of us outside a fallen town 15 kilometers north bank of the Rhine. We will try to reach the river bank in the evening in three days and meet in this forest. He pointed to a position on the map.
"Captain Parks, you have to choose a team from the E Company and take them across the Rhine as soon as possible!" Lieutenant Colonel Stryer added, "Because the crossing point is to pass through the position defended by Company E. Canadian engineers will provide you with six ships.
Parks nodded. At this time, the colonel walked to a large map hanging in the league branch and said, "The assembly place is very readable, and it can be landed. Last night, at three o'clock in the morning, I swam alone again. At that time, we will draw a V-shaped shape representing victory with a red torch. Then he looked at Winters and smiled, "The American said it's a red 'light'."
"We call this operation 'Operation Pegasus'," Sink said, and then pointed to Winters with his finger, "Wentes, your second battalion is in charge of the task."
Wentes nodded, then looked at Parks and said, "Reth, you try your best to help the colonel. If you need anything, try your best to find me. Try to complete this task as successfully as possible.
"I will! Don't worry, Dick!" Parks turned his head and looked at the colonel and wondered, "Why are there still British troops in the occupied area?" Didn't they all come back with General Urkert at the ferry to the south of the bridge?
The colonel looked at Parks, and then suddenly said to him, "Are you Lieutenant Parks? No, no, you are a captain now. Sorry, I just remembered that you are Captain Parks who raided the German oil and ammunition depot and guided us to capture the bridge and take us back from the ferry?
At this time, the commander of Sink obviously felt very proud. He nodded to the colonel and said, "Yes, it's him. He did a miracle that time!"
"God, thank you very much!" Colonel Dubi came over and hugged Parks, and then smiled, "I'm sorry to surprise you a little. Yes, some of us crossed the river with them that time, but some of the wounded did not feel the ferry in time. They fell behind. Later, German planes ravaged the ferry, and they did not cross the river. . I was also captured by the Germans at that time. Some of them escaped. And with the help of the Dutch!"
Parks nodded to show that he understood. Then he stretched out his hand again and smiled with Colonel Du Bi, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to cooperate with the British! I hope this is a happy memory!"
"I'm very happy to work with you again! I'm very confident about this action!" The colonel nodded and then smiled at Colonel Sink, "I'm very optimistic!"
"I'm the same as Colonel!" Colonel Sink nodded with a smile.
Obviously, this group of British troops are left behind. Most of them are wounded soldiers, and they will inevitably fall behind in the process of the emergency march. They could have crossed the river together, without the reconnaissance of German aircraft and the subsequent bombing.
"Do you know how that Colonel got here?" When leaving the regimental headquarters, Nixon smiled mysteriously at Winters and Parks, "This guy escaped from the German hospital and swam across the Rhine. God, I really don't know how he did it. No wonder someone calls him 'Crazy Colonel', which is worthy of the name!"
"I agree!" Parks laughed and said, "But I also like this madman. Think about it, maybe someone will call me 'Crazy Captain' in the future.
"Captain crazy?" Winters smiled and then glanced at Nixon.
"Don't look at me, Dick, I know what you're thinking!" Nixon shook his head and smiled, "However, this matter should be treated with caution. After all, the British army is still our friendly army for the time being, and they have not surrendered to the Germans!"
