Chapter 63 Winters' Request

Chapter 63 Winters's Request

"K kill them!" Winters was shouting loudly. He was dissatisfied with the dullness of the brothers of Company E. He waved his arm and then raised his M1 rifle to kill a German, but a few shots missed.

Parks stood up quickly and then raised the rifle. There are still seven goals left. This is a very good target. Although it is active, the Germans may be scared. When they escaped, they ran in a straight line, so they were much more likely to be hit!

"Bum, bang, bang..." The continuous shooting was mixed with the sound of the tank's machine gun, which seemed a little abrupt.

When the seven Germans were on the edge of the runway woods, they were all knocked down. And Parker's magazine also popped out with a "ding". The remaining three tanks pointed their muzzle at the building and bombarded until the whole building was destroyed, and there were no more German soldiers in it. They were either bombarded to death or there was no one inside.

Winters commanded the brothers of Company E to rush up and occupy the place. But only the bodies of German soldiers were found everywhere.

"Parks, you are so awesome!" Gernery approached the bodies of the Germans and began to rummage through their pockets. Then he saw that among the eight people who finally escaped, except for the one killed by Winters, the other five were killed by M1 rifles, and two were killed by machine guns on the tank.

"Oh, look what I found!" At this time, Capper suddenly shouted. It turned out that he found a watch in the hand of a German body. He took it down directly, then lifted it up and showed off loudly.

"You are so lucky!" Chris Denson shouted enviously. Then he also joined the ranks of searching the pockets of the Germans.

In addition to Chris Denson, all the brothers of Company E were looking for the pockets of the Germans. Even the soldiers in the tank were also affected by Company E. They even stopped the tank and joined the ranks.

When Winters saw this situation, he didn't say anything. He didn't want to spoil the interest of his brothers. In addition to the tense battle, he felt that there was nothing wrong with venting the tension in this way. What's more, now the Germans have basically been kicked out of the manor, the threat has been lifted, and the purpose of the battle has been achieved.

"Here you are, Lieutenant!" At this time, Parks came over and handed a map to Winters. "I just found it in that destroyed building. I think you should need it."

Winters nodded to him, and Parks' carefulness made him appreciate from the bottom of his heart that the map and documents he found in the process of destroying the cannon of the manor in the morning played a very important role, which Lieutenant Colonel Stry had told him.

"Do you need to gather your brothers together?" Parks looked at the soldiers everywhere looking for the pockets of German bodies.

"No, wait a minute, let them slow down." Winters held his M1 rifle and stood there looking at his brothers. "They deserve it." He doesn't want to disturb them at this time.

"Haha, God really cares for me!" At this time, Wales suddenly burst into laughter, and then he got up from the body of a German. He shouted at Winters, "Dick, look what I found? Ring, a ring. I think this is a gift from God. I will give it to Betty. She will love it to death!"

Wentes walked over. Wales' hands were covered with blood. He held a gold ring and his face was full of pride. The body of the unlucky German beside him was cut off by Wales with one finger.

"Are you going to use this to propose to her? "Harry!" Knowing that Betty was Shelsh's fiancee, Winters couldn't help joking, "This is not a good idea."

"Of course not!" Wales stood up and patted the dust on his body. "I still have the umbrella I used for the last parachute jump in my backpack. I keep it all the time. I will use it to make a wedding dress in the future. Betty must be very beautiful in it!" With that, he carefully put the ring into his close pocket and squeezed his eyes at Winters.

Winters smiled and didn't care about the little pride of Wales. He looked at his watch and then said to Parks, "Assemble the brothers. It's time for us to meet in the village. I think there must be brothers looking for us!"

Parks nodded and then shouted, "E company has gathered, everyone has it." People in twos and threes slowly gathered together. They had different expressions. Some were excited and some were depressed. In short, it was just because the result of rummaging through their pockets was different. Gernelly was the most excited one. He got a watch, a ring, and it was gold.

"First go back to the village and wait for the next order!" Winters simply ordered a sentence. He has been fighting for a long time since he landed. He felt very tired, and Winters knew that the brothers felt the same as him, although some people seemed to be very excited now.

Some people climbed onto the tank. They sat next to the tank, and some were still riding on the turret. The tank commander didn't care. The group followed the trajectory of the attack and retreated to the village. Parks couldn't help smiling when he looked at such a scene, as if he was sweeping. Everyone is looking for their own booty and then taking them out to show off.

"Hey, look who's here?" At this time, several soldiers sitting in the village and resting saw the tanks and the soldiers on it, and couldn't help shouting happily, "Welcome to triumph, heroes!"

It was Webster who shouted. He stood up and waved to the brothers of Company E on the tank. He was surrounded by more than a dozen people, including Pai Kandi, Tit, Pai Kandti.

"Webster, it seems that you missed the wonderful clip!" At this time, Kaber jumped off the tank and showed Webster the watch on his wrist.

"This is my trophy." Cap smiled proudly, "We slaughtered those bitches at the manor just now." Then he looked at Webster's envious eyes, "Do you have any trophy? We can exchange it. I still have this!" With that, he took out another dagger from his pocket.

"Is this a paratrooper knife?" Webster looked at it doubtfully.

"Yes, but to be more precise, it's a German paratrooper knife. Do you see anything engraved on it?" Kabo pointed to a "scorpo" character engraved on the blade of the dagger, "See? Nazis, this is only owned by Germany's most elite troops.

Webster shrugged his shoulders and then said to Lieutenant Winters, who was coming on him, "Lieutenant, Private Webster, report." Then he pointed to more than a dozen people around him, "We met on the road. We missed the place, so we were late!"

Winters just nodded to them and went to the headquarters set up by Stryr. He wants to report the battle just now, and then listen to the next task, or take a break when there is no task.

"We all missed the location!" Parks patted Webster on the shoulder. "It's good to come back. Have a good time with your brothers, and then take a rest. I don't think those commanders will make us feel better, and of course, the Germans!" Parks's words made several people very warm, and then they took the initiative to talk to their brothers who had just returned.

Parks was a little tired. He lay on the hayp and soon felt a little fuzzy. He had to seize the time to rest.

Winters walked into the temporary headquarters and met Lieutenant Colonel Stryll. Then the lieutenant colonel asked about the battle just now. He didn't have much manpower now, and he was eager to know the war damage on his side.

"The brothers are all very good. They captured the manor and then annihilated the Germans there. There were about 60 people in a row. It is estimated that there are two companies or more Germans in St. Mary de Montt, but we can't destroy them all. The Germans have destroyed one of our tanks. Winters answered truthfully.

"How about the officers in Company E?" Stryr frowned.

"Lieutenant Meehan and Lieutenant Swey have not returned yet. The brothers of Company E said that his plane crashed." Winters tried to calm his tone. "Everyone didn't have time to skydive."

Stryll pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know. Now you are acting as the company commander for the time being. I will submit a letter of appointment to Colonel Sink, and then he will approve it."

"We now lack officers, especially platoon-level officers, and there is also a shortage of staff officers and sergeants in the company." Winters accepted the arrangement, but he was still worried about other situations in the company. "We have almost 70 people now, but we lack leaders."

Stryr had no choice but to spread his hands: "I can't help it. Now the whole 101 airborne divisions are scattered in Normandy, and it will take some time to close them. Don't worry about the leader. I know you can afford it.

Winters had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, I'll have a good talk with my brothers." With that, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute." Stryor suddenly stopped him, "Your battle at Brecutt Manor is very good and has played a very important role in landing. You write a report, draw up a list, and I will submit it for commendation."

"Yes, sir!" Winters nodded, "Thank you, sir."

Winters walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said to Lieutenant Colonel Stry, who had talked to several staff officers in the headquarters, "Sir, I have another request!"

"What?" Stry looked up at him.

"It's like this!" Winters meditated for a moment, then cleared his throat and said to Stry, "Since the landing battle, Sergeant E Company Parks has fought bravely and made outstanding contributions. I have drawn up a battlefield appointment letter for him. Now there is a shortage of officers. He is the best candidate for the platoon leader."
