Chapter 18
"Parks!" Jeff, a girl sleeping in Parks's arms, leaned on her side and raised her head with one hand. Her hair hung down on the pillow. Her bright eyes smiled and looked at him wake up playfully.
"Hi!" Jeff blew softly at him.
"Hi!" Parks responded, and then turned his head and kissed the lips.
"Do you know? The way you sleep is very impressive. Jeff gasped, let go of Parks, and then snuggled over. "I wish it could be like this forever!"
"Me too, Jeff!" Parks has a complicated mentality towards this girl. Physical joy is the most direct feeling that this girl brings to herself. But there is no doubt that in the whole process of dating, the girl is kind-hearted, and she is also a college student and must be a good partner. It's just that I'm about to go on an expedition to Europe. Can I keep such an excellent girl?
"Honey, have you thought about it!" Jeff leaned his head against Parker's chest and suddenly asked.
Parks was obviously distracted. He just reflected his surname and responded, "What? What do you want to tell me?
Jenneve raised her head again and looked at Parks very close and firmly: "If the war was over, what would you do? Will you come back here? Or go to Georgia to find a job or something? By the way, you haven't told me where you are from. Do you want to say it now? She smiled and her eyes were full of vision.
"Galifore Asia." Parks said, "I... I don't know where I will work in the future. After all, it's still far away. After the war? I haven't thought about it yet, but I think Georgia may be a good place.
Jeff curled up, then leaned close to Parks' arms and whispered, "Parks, I hope you can come. I love you. I hope we can be together. But I can't leave this bar. It's my father's **. I won't leave this place unless he dies. I hope you can stay here with me for a while after the war.
Parks gently kissed the forehead of the girl in his arms, and then nodded, "I love you too, Jeff!"
The two snuggled up and didn't want to talk. After a long time, Parks got up and said, "Honey, I'm going back to the barracks." Get dressed, then take out a pile of bills from your pocket, count them, and hand one of them to Jeff.
"This is what I won in my bet a few days ago. Here is 3,000 yuan. Take it!" Parks put the money in **.
Jenif's face suddenly turned pale, she raised her head, and her beautiful big eyes even stared at Parks angrily and sneered: "If you want to pay for a few nights, sir, isn't this too much?"
Obviously, Parks' initiative angered her.
"Parks hurriedly said, "No, don't get me wrong. I just think that I'm in the barracks now. In a short time, I may go to the battlefield, and it's obviously not appropriate for me to carry so much money with me. I think you can help me save it. Maybe you can help me plan it."
Jenif turned her anger into joy. She picked up the stack of bills and said with a smile, "How do you want me to keep it for you?"
"I know you are a college student and know how to take good care of it. Honey, I'm for the capital I left behind after the war, so don't worry, I will definitely come when the war is over. Parks bent down and kissed Jeff.
From Jenny's house to the barracks, Parks was thinking about a question: Why did he do this? He himself is a little unclear, perhaps to alleviate his sense of guilt. He didn't think he should agree to the kind girl so ambiguously. Once you go to the battlefield, things are beyond your control. If you die, it will bring great trouble to Janif. But even if you don't die, will you really return to this place after the war? God knows!
Maybe 3,000 yuan is just an excuse for me not to stay, just to pay off the debt in exchange for Janiff's love debt to herself.
The brothers of Company E continued to train as usual, and as they further mastered various skills, each company had to exercise in a harsher environment.
For example, Major Hatten thought of a way. He asked people to spread a layer of barbed wire 18 feet above the ground on a field. The internal organs of the newly killed pig include the heart, lungs, liver, intestines, and everything. A layer was laid on the ground under the net, and the machine gun was shot against the upper edge of the barbed wire.
Bullets flew over the heads of the soldiers, and no one dared to stretch out their heads, unless you let your head bloom. This is not crawling at all.
"I find myself just a snake!" As Gernelly moved forward, he touched a pig's large intestine. He "kised" it with his mouth, which caused him to vomit. "This is not crawling, this is squirming, damn it!"
Many people in Company E showed a state of discomfort, but they were still able to persist in completing the whole process, although some people even vomited bile after completing it.
Parks knew that this should be the end of the basic training. After this period, there will be no more frequent basic training. What awaits them is the skydiving training.
"How have the officers and soldiers of the companies reacted recently?" As the training became more difficult, Colonel Sink paid closer attention to the situation in the regiment. If a soldier can't stand it, then he is not qualified to be a paratrooper.
"It's all very good. Everyone can stick to it!" Lieutenant Colonel Stry's face smiled, and he was also pleased with the soldiers' excellent performance in their recent training.
Colonel Sink nodded and then motioned Stry to sit down. He poured two glasses of wine: "But this is not enough, Stryr!" He handed Steyr a glass of wine. Then he went to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a book from it.
"This is Reader's Digest. There is an article in it. I think you should read it carefully!" Colonel Sink flipped the magazine, then stopped on a page and clicked on the content of that page with his finger.
"I set a world record?" Stryll looked through the article and then looked at Sink in disbelief. "The Japanese army had a battalion marched 100 miles in 72 hours on the Malay Peninsula, setting a world record. How did they do it?
Sink looked at him seriously: "No matter what I did, I just said that we are now. My 506 regiment. Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." He said facing the window and could see the soldiers in the distance, as well as the soldiers who were undergoing regular training in the camp. He said firmly, "My people can be stronger than them."
Stryll looked at Sink. He knew that he was serious. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to send a battalion to compare with those Japanese people and let them know that our American soldiers are the best soldiers in the world!" Colonel Sink looked at Stryr and said, "Help me choose a battalion that is qualified for this task."
Stryll only thought about it for a few seconds and suggested, "I think the second battalion should be qualified for this, Mr. Colonel."
Sink nodded: "Yes, I think so too. The second battalion is the one that can bear the hardships. Your choice is right. I believe they are definitely better than me.
This is an unconventional training task.
The first battalion and the third battalion took the train to the Fort Benning Military Base, where there were air force training sites and, of course, paratrooper training sites. So when the second battalion watched them whistled proudly, they felt sad.
"The second battalion is the best battalion in the regiment!" Major Horton delivered a speech before departure. Obviously, from the regimental headquarters to the battalion headquarters, and the company department attached great importance to this long-distance field march. If you lose, you will lose the face of the whole paratrooper. This was what Colonel Sink said when he conveyed the order to Major Horton, which immediately put a lot of pressure on Major Horton.
"Do you know how long the whole march is this time?" Capper complained, "118 miles, and we have to take the damn country road, and it's going to be a cold rainy and snowy day." He looked up at the gloomy weather.
"Don't complain, Kabo!" Carwood Lipp reminded, "If you can get through this, you will go to Fort Benning, where we will train paratroopers. We will get the silver wing badge.
The Silver Wing Badge is a goal in the hearts of the E Company brothers. The main reason why they can persist in the difficult basic training is because of the paratrooper's logo - the silver wing badge.
"Of course, the most important thing is that we want to break the so-called world record set by me." At this time, Parks said, "Why should we let myself lead us? Or are we not as good as the monkey? Parks's language is a little fierce, which is an instinctive reaction to the soul of a Chinese.
"Yes, let's not let the devils see jokes!" At this time, Nixon appeared at the right time.
"There are three companies in our battalion, D company, E company, and F company. We will set out as the first company." Winster told his brothers, "Let's bring as much water and dry food as possible. This is what we will continue to add on the way. Remember, don't fall behind!"
"Well, even if I'm exhausted, I'm going to go to damn Atlanta!" White said in a low voice. But Captain Sober's wording was much stricter than that of Winster. He gritted his teeth in the company and swore: "I can guarantee that if anyone does not complete this march or falls behind, he does not deserve the paratrooper badge, and I will kick him out of the airborne team. Maybe he will only be an army with straight legs (During World War II, the U.S. Army wore straight pants).
This sentence is exciting enough for the brothers of E Company. Even so, many people are still uneasy. But because of Parks' words, many people have the courage: "I believe my brothers know how I cured Moore in the march. Don't worry, everything is with me."
