Chapter 11

The training of Company E is gradually developing to the standard of airborne troops, which also shows that training is no longer just physical fitness and running. But in the E Company, everyone can still grit their teeth and stick to it.

The obstacle cross-country alone made the brothers of E Company complain. Battalion commander Major Oliver Horton is also a fanatic. He wants to make Company E the best company, and his idea coincides with Thorber.

The first cross-country training is to cross obstacles. Obstacles were set up in the barracks, including many projects: wading in the water, crossing the fire, drilling tunnels, climbing over walls, etc. This kind of training is not much different from Parks's training of recruits in the previous military camp, and it is not a problem for Parks's current physical condition.

"Parks, are you a beast? A lion or a tiger? The breathless Compton Buck followed Parks through a ditch. "Maybe you should be an eagle. How can you even shoot darts so accurately?"

Parks looked back at Buck as he ran and said with a smile, "Second Lieutenant, if you still talk so much, I promise that you will be far behind me later."

There is nothing wrong with this. Parks has waded through the ditch quickly.

"Fight, why does this ditch dig higher than my waist?" Tibo scolded.

"Don't complain. They didn't let the water flood your head. You're lucky." Luz next to him smiled beside him, but it seemed that he was tired enough.

When Parks crossed the ditch, most of the E soldiers were still in the water. Even Buck, who followed him, had not yet climbed up from the ditch.

"Who is that person?" Major Horton looked at Parks, who was running quickly through the fire full of oil stains and asked Captain Sober, "His quality is very good!" If our battalions are all soldiers like him, then who is still our opponent in the 506th Regiment? Captain Sober.

Horton is the battalion commander, commanding three companies, and is also the direct leader of Company E.

Sorber hesitated for a moment and said, "Major, that's Sergeant Les Parks. As you said, he is a very good non-commissioned officer, and that's why I exceptionally promoted him from a private to a sergeant. I'm very optimistic about his potential.

Horton nodded and then smiled, "I have always believed that you are an excellent leader. Now it seems that my idea is not good. I hope Company E is the best company under your leadership!"

"Please believe me, Mr. Major!" Sao Bo straightened his chest.

Parks' performance was really excellent, so that he felt a little outstanding.

Even if it was a wall of nearly four meters, after quickly climbing through the tunnel, Parks ran several times, one step, with his left foot on the side of the wall, and his right hand was on the top of the wall. With strength, his right foot had already climbed to the top of the wall, and then easily climbed over the low wall.

"Wow!" Behind him was an exclamation. Obviously, the soldiers who were still far behind him were shocked by Parks's handsome and relaxed move to climb over the wall just now.

"Six minutes and thirty-one seconds!" Horton held a chronograph in his hand and walked towards Parks. Captain Sober followed him closely with a blank face.

"Your officer!" Parks stood upright and saluted the two.

"Congratulations, Sergeant Parks, you broke the record. You should know that even at West Point, such a score is impossible. I think you should be one of the best soldiers in the United States now. Horton looked very happy.

Hurton's statement is not exaggerated. Even the record of West Point is nearly 40 seconds slower than this, which is a very remarkable achievement. Of course, if this result is reported to the regimental headquarters, it will be the record set by the soldiers of Horton's second battalion. Anyway, this is a happy thing. Even Sober, who had some resentment for Parks, couldn't help smiling.

"Thank you, sir!" Parks was very calm. Of course, he knew that if he could be appreciated by Horton, did Sober have any thoughts about himself? It's hard to predict.

"I heard that you are also very good at fighting with your bare hands!" Heton said. This is what Sober told him. Sober originally wanted to tell Horton that Parks was just a person who didn't abide by military discipline and liked to provoke trouble, but Horton was obviously different from his idea. He just focused on Parks's heroic deeds in the fight.

"I think it should be!" Parks doesn't want to be modest, which may also become his capital for future promotion.

"Der up, sergeant!" Major Horton patted him on the shoulder, and then said to Thorber with a smile, "Your decision is right. We should give such excellent soldiers more opportunities and give them the opportunity to be leaders."

"Well... I think so!" Thorpe hesitated for a moment and still nodded.

When Horton and Thorber left, the soldiers of Company E had also completed the cross-country project. They all came towards Parks.

"It seems that we should call you Sergeant Parks later?" White smiled. Although he was covered with mud, he still hugged Parks hard.

"Hey hey, Parks, what did you do?" Granari came over, stretched out his hand and squeezed Pax's arm. "Don't tell me you're wearing beef."

Suddenly, E's brothers laughed. Pat Christenson said loudly, "Yes, isn't what we see now a cow? Guys, take out your daggers. We have roast beef tonight!"

"Five me, Chris Denson. I've always been a lion. Do you little sheep still want to fight the lion? Who the hell are we going to eat? Parks also started the joke.

The brothers of E Company are like this. Even when they are tired to death, the jokes between the brothers can quickly eliminate the pain and fatigue caused by the training.

"Tell us how you did it! Just now, I seemed to hear Major Horton talking about 'record'. What record did you break? Compton Buck came over and said, "Listen to what our lion tells us?" Tell me about Major Horton's record, you lion!"

"It's like this!" Parks cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Just now, Major Horton said that my current obstacle cross-country time is 40 seconds faster than the record of West Point Military Academy. He said it was a great achievement."

"Oh--" There was a burst of exclamation and shouting around.

"Parks, why don't you teach me?" At this time, Huber, who was still panting, squeezed over and said, "If Sober knew that I was the last one to arrive now, he would have tortured me to death."

"Why not?" Parks looked at Huber and smiled, "I'm very happy!"

"Ah!" Everyone was envious and cheered again.

At this time, there was a sharp whistle.

"Go and get together, guys." Compton Barker said something. Everyone also saw Lieutenant Winster coming over.

Suddenly, the people gathered around dispersed and gathered in their respective rows.

"Good job, Parks!" Winster smiled at Parks, who came to gather, "You are the best soldier I have ever seen!" None of them." This is the second time that Winster has said this to Parks.

Parks knew that Winsterken must have recognized himself very much when he said so.

"Thank you, Lieutenant!"

The three rows of the E company stood side by side, leaving only some gaps in the middle. Lieutenant Sober stood in front of him. He accompanied Major H.ton to review the three platoons of Company E.

"Your performance is very good today!" Although Major Horton is strict, it does not prevent him from praise to the E Company brothers, "You are the best company I have ever seen!"

E Even the brothers can't help but straighten their chests.

"Especially Sergeant Parks, let me be impressed!" Horton rarely makes personal praise in the company's training, but when you think about Parks' performance, you can understand that when you have a national champion in your company, what kind of praise is there?

The praise of Major Houton more or less cheered up the brothers of Company E.

But after Horton left, Thorber's words made the brothers a little unhappy again.

"Although our company has performed well enough, I still have to warn you that if you want to do your best, you have to redouble your efforts. We need to increase the amount of training!"

Sure enough, it came again. Parks quietly squinted at the brothers of E Company, and they all looked listless.

"Second-class Private Donald Hubler." Sob suddenly shouted, "Get out of the column!"

"Yes! Sir." Hubler stepped forward and stood in front of the queue.

"Take your equipment and do it all over again!" Sober shouted at him, "Let's not be cowardly here!"
