Chapter 356 I'm coming, West Point

When summer comes, the Tacoya barracks still make people feel the suffocating heat, not because of the weather, but because of the intense training here. This is still the cradle of paratroopers. Many people go out of here and become real paratroopers. The Star-Spangled Banner of the United States flew over the barracks, and rows of soldiers were like trees. They looked excitedly at the man standing in front of him. He looked cold, and with the rank of major, he was like a high mountain in front of the team.

"That's right, I'm Richard? Major Winters. Of course, I allow you to call me Dick in private! I like the name. Winters looked at the newly enlisted soldiers. He squeezed his lips and sighed in his heart. In the summer of 1942, he stood in the queue with a platoon of brothers and endured Herb? The roar of Lieutenant Sober. Then they began to run "three miles, three miles", but all this was like a dream. Some of the original brothers were gone, and they died in the European continent; some were injured, and still lying sick ** suffering from injuries; some went their separate ways, and they engaged in their own careers.

"From today on, you are all soldiers, but you are definitely not a paratrooper. If you want to become a paratrooper, then conquer that mountain. The name of that mountain is Mount Korahi. With a smile on his face, Major Winters waved to a lieutenant company commander and said, "Lieutenant Fisher, this is for you!"

Winters said, saluted the soldiers, and then said, "Good luck, paratroopers!" With that, he walked towards his battalion headquarters. He listened to the sound of Lieutenant Fisher giving orders behind him, and he couldn't help smiling at the corners of his mouth. Now in this barracks, the brothers of Company E are the only ones. In eight years, many things have changed. But the only thing that hasn't changed is the atmosphere here.

"It seems that you have fully adapted to this place." When Major Winters pushed the door in, a major officer of the battalion watched him come in and couldn't help smiling. He was Major Winters' partner, deputy battalion commander Christine? Major Rudolph, after saying this, he suddenly raised his hands to make a gesture of surrender and smiled, "Oh, I completely forgot that you were once a legend here!"

Winters shook his head and smiled, "No, Christine, I don't want to do this. You know, I was reconscripted. You are the one who has been in the army all the time. I'm not too used to the atmosphere here now. After all, it has been five years since I left. This is a long time, and everything has to be used to it slowly.

"Well, maybe you're right. I don't know what it's like to leave the army. I once told myself that I will stay in the army all my life, but what will happen in the future? Who knows?" Major Rudolph said and shrugged his shoulders, "But to be honest, when I heard that my partner was you, I couldn't help but feel very proud!"

"Proud?" Winters couldn't help sneering, "I don't want to recall the past. Those things - you know, everyone who has been to the battlefield doesn't want to mention them. By the way, Christine, have you ever been to the battlefield? Major Winters looked at him and said, "Well, I mean during World War II."

Rudolph looked a little embarrassed and said, "To be honest, I didn't go to school. When I graduated from West Point, the Germans had surrendered, and then I was assigned to the Pacific Theater, but when we went to Asia by boat, I meant that we were still When I was on the sea, I said that I had already surrendered. We were transferred back to the United States after less than two months in Japan. So - I have never been to the battlefield at all, and of course I regret it!"

Major Winters couldn't help smiling and said, "There is nothing to regret. It's all a nightmare feeling. After experiencing too many wars, I don't want to experience such scenes anymore. If there is no war, it may be much better, and of course, something will be missed.

"Of course, I've missed it, so I don't want to miss it this time!" Rudolph smiled and suddenly looked at Winters and said, "You know, at West Point, your battle - I mean the battle to destroy the German cannons in the Battle of Bracolette Manor in Normandy, has become a model for textbooks when I was in West Point. You know, it's great to work with you in person!"

"You just said, what don't you want to miss?" Major Winters suddenly looked at him.

"Major Winters, you have to keep it a secret. I also heard it from the division. We seem to be preparing for a war. You know, we are just training troops now, but all this is preparing for a war - that is, North Korea in Asia." Major Rudolph was a little excited, "I don't want to miss this opportunity. That's why I came to the 101 Airborne Division!"

101 Airborne Division? Yes, now the 101st Airborne Division has been reorganized. But this is just a training force, a reserve, not a regular active force, but all this is preparing for a war. Winters was one of the first officers of the former 101st Airborne Division to be recruited after the reconstruction of the 101st Airborne Division.

It was also because of the name of the 101st Airborne Division that Major Winters stood in the Tacoya Barracks again and dealt with the soldiers here, but the former 506th Regiment E Company disappeared. Only the subordinate 187th Regiment was reorganized a year after its dissolution and became a regular combat force, which was also the only regiment of the 101st Airborne Division that participated in the Korean War.

"Confidentiality?" Winters couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. There is nothing to keep this kind of secret. Now the whole world knows that Americans are going to North Korea. To hear such news from the division, it means that it is not a secret. But he disapproves of Rudolph's desire to fight. People who have not experienced war can't understand the pain brought by war.

I just don't know how Parks is now? He knew that Parks was also recruited, and Parks called her on the third day after Winters received the call-up letter. Over the years, they have kept in touch by phone and occasionally two or three small gatherings of three or four people, but occasionally Wales will be absent.

Yes, Parks received a letter of conscription. But Parks didn't go to train the troops. He lied to Virginia. He just didn't want her to worry. MacArthur needed him to lead a brigade of Panther special forces, and the corresponding rank was a lieutenant colonel. Of course, this is a **. However, once he enters the Black Panther Special Forces, Parks will have to accept MacArthur's assignment and then go to the Korean battlefield, and will also become the vanguard force to infiltrate the battlefield in advance, providing detailed and accurate information for the follow-up forces, including the assassination of North Korean leaders and so on.

Parks will not be buried with MacArthur's future defeat, nor will he pay for his defeat. He wants to get rid of this damn job! So he chose another way, which even MacArthur could not stop him. Because he has the Medal of Honor!

Friday, June 30, 1950. A high-end car galloped in West Point, Orange County, on the bank of the Hudson River in northern New York. Virginia wore a simple skirt. Even if it was a simple match, it could not hide her charm. From time to time, her eyes glanced at the person beside her, with a smile, like spring flowers.

"Goodly, the military academy is not too far from me. If there is a holiday, there is no need to rush too much!" Virginia smiled at Parks and spoke softly. " She acted like a gentle wife, as if she was telling her husband to go out!

"Don't worry, honey!" Parks nodded with a smile. The car stopped not far after a corner. Parks picked up his simple luggage from the back seat of the car and kissed Virginia. "I'm here." With that, he pushed the door open, and then got out of the car. Facing Virginia in the car, he waved his hand!

"Goodbye, Les!" Virgelia was a little reluctant, but she still drove the car decisively and galloped towards the way she came. Only Parks was left.

Today is not the opening day of West Point. It was yesterday, but Parks didn't report until today. It's nothing, because this time he didn't come to West Point because of his student status. He missed his time as a student.

He looked up at the gate leading to a wide road. A landmark arch building stood there with a relief of shields and eagles on it. This was the main gate of the famous West Point Academy - the Saiya Gate! Several soldiers were standing guard at the door, with a look of pride in their eyes, looking at Parks coming towards them.

Parks showed their letters and vouchers to them, and soon the soldiers stood upright to Parks to experience. Obviously, they knew this person, and from the photos and myself, this person impressed them. Yes, at West Point, no one doesn't know the name - Les? Major Parks, deputy battalion commander of the 101st Airborne Division, former company commander of Company E of the Hero Company. Because now in the military textbooks of West Point, several battles he commanded are regarded as classic textbook examples.

"Hello, Major Parks!" The soldier saluted Parks with great admiration.

Parks also gave a military salute, and then walked into the gate of the military academy with a smile. Yes, from this moment on, he has become a member of the West Point Military Academy. However, he did not enter the West Point Military Academy as a cadet, but as a military instructor. Because before that, his old superior, Maxwell, the new principal of the West Point Academy,? General Taylor was transferred here from the Army Staff. General Taylor expressed great enthusiasm for Parks's upcoming arrival. He immediately checked Parks' phone number, and then the two talked on the phone. General Taylor said that Parks's coming to West Point was not a cadet, but an instructor. He believes that Parks' military talent is enough to serve as a military instructor at West Point.

Parks walked inside with a simple luggage bag on his back, and in the distance he saw a high-end car coming towards him. Obviously, it was General Taylor's car. He came to pick up Major Parks.

"West Point, I'm coming!" Parks looked at General Taylor, who came out of the car with a warm smile, with a smile on the corners of his mouth and silently said in his heart.
