Chapter 64 Prayer

"Sergeant Parks?" Stryll was deeply impressed by Parks, and then nodded and said, "Well, you write a report, and I will submit it to Colonel Sink for him." With that, he lowered his head and talked to several staff officers.

Winters tilted the corners of his mouth. He knew that Stryr said this and basically agreed. This is a difficult time for war. If Parks comes to help, it will be of great benefit to me. But he is not going to tell Parks for the time being, after all, the matter has not been approved yet.

With the arrival of the 4th Infantry Division, the attack on Saint-Marie-de-Monte has increased significantly. There were too few Germans here, and Company E did not participate in the operation with the team. Lieutenant Colonel Streil was concerned about the frequency of the battles they had participated in and gave them time to rest. Despite the rumbling of gunfire outside, they couldn't stop the sleepiness of the E brothers.

"Parks!" When Parks was sleeping in a daze, he was gently pushed to wake up.

He opened his eyes and saw Lieutenant Winters. Then he moved his body and stood up and said, "Lieutenant, what's the matter?"

"Wake up, brothers. We're going to Saint-Marie-de-Monte. The Germans have left."

"Okay, sir!" Parks stood up, woke up the non-commissioned officers one by one, and then asked them to wake up their brothers.

"Where are we going now?" Parks asked.

Winters looked ahead, pointed to the south-southwest direction and said, "Let's go there - the village of Courouville. It's about 2 kilometers away from here. Because Lieutenant Colonel Stryll wants to set up the command post of the 2nd Battalion there.

The sky has dimmed. At this time, including the brothers who just returned from a break, including Daniel Randowman. Company E has about 100 brothers. And they gathered together and began to talk to each other enthusiastically.

"E Company brothers gather." Parks shouted, "We're leaving!"

The brothers all stood up and consciously lined up.

"Now the sound and light control are implemented. Don't talk loudly and don't smoke." Winters ordered in front of the line, "We will go to a village two kilometers away, and we will spend the night there." Let's go now!"

The soldiers muttered, lined up and set off.

"I haven't felt this way for a long time, hasn't it?" Suddenly, Pai Kendhi, who was walking a little ahead, suddenly said something.

Next to him was Luz next to him. Hearing this, he couldn't help looking at him inexplicably and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? Maybe this kind of ghost weather gives you some good memories?

Pagon nodded as he walked, "Yes, don't you feel like you're back in Tacoya? Of course, there was no Saab's roar and Da Niu's complaint. Isn't this a Taco-style night march?

Luz was happy as soon as he heard it. He looked back at Randolman in the team and said with a smile, "Listen, Pakandi still misses Sober. We all know that the person Thorber hates most in Company E is you, Daniel. But he misses him here.

"Gap him a slap for me! White." (White) Landoman shouted at White behind Paconti.

White stretched out his hand and slapped Kanty's steel helmet aside.

"Thank you, White. You are such a good person!" Da Niu Lan Daoman laughed.

Everyone couldn't help laughing. At this time, I suddenly heard the whistle of a car behind them, and a truck carrying soldiers passed by them and sped by.

"Damn it, I was splashed with mud!" Gernelly couldn't help taking a step, but he still didn't avoid the mud splashed by the car.

Parks looked at the soldier in the car and said, "It's the guy of the 4th Infantry Division!"

"Hey, why do they take the bus and we have to walk? Aren't they also going to Courouville? Why don't you let them take us?" At this time, Granary shouted loudly and then crossed the road. After what he said, many people were on the road.

"Tit", the truck behind keeps honking the horn.

"Hey, guys, get out of the way, let's go!" A lieutenant shouted in the truck.

Gernelly shouted, "Bre us, and the road will be smooth." Then the brothers on the road also made a lot of noise.

The lieutenant looked at the group of soldiers. Obviously, they refused to give up, so they shouted, "Yes, but you have to tell me what kind of troops you are."

"E Company of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division." Carper replied quickly. He was afraid that he would not be able to get on the truck and answered quickly.

"Damn it!" Gernery cursed in a low voice, stared at Carbo fiercely, and then shouted, "Sir, don't listen to him. He just found his way home from Normandy. His mind hasn't come to his mind yet. We are 82nd Airborne Division."

"Okay, come on up!" The lieutenant seemed helpless. Company E's brothers usually climbed into the truck and then went to the village of Culloville, while Winters, Parks and the rest of the people left.

When Winters arrived at the village of Kuloville and was ready to camp, the messengers of the battalion brought Stryr's order, and he asked Winters to see him quickly.

"What are your brothers doing? How can they intercept the truck of the 4th Infantry Division? Stryll lost his temper, but that's not what he said. "What's more damned is that they pretended to be the 82nd Airborne Division."

"I'm sorry, sir!" Winters was a little uneasy, "I will talk to my brothers and let them obey the orders..."

Stryll suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him: "That's not the point, Lieutenant Winters, why pretend to be the 82nd Division? Will it humiliate them to say that they are the 101st Division? If he doesn't even have the courage to report the name of his army when he does such a thing, how can he be a good soldier?

As soon as Winters heard this, he looked strange. It turned out that the lieutenant gave a small report to Steyr, but Steyr ignored him. What he cared about was why these guys didn't dare to report their real number.

"I know what to do, sir!" Winters promised again, "I will talk to my brothers and make them proud to be a member of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Division."

Stryr nodded with satisfaction. Winters saluted quickly and then walked out.

"What? Are you reprimanded by Lieutenant Colonel Stryr? At this time, a laugh came from the side.

As soon as Winters turned his head, he saw Nixon coming with a small wine bottle. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not called reprimand. He just told me how sacred the 506 Regiment is."

Nixon couldn't help nodding and laughing, "I actually know that when the unlucky lieutenant came to make a small report, I was in the battalion headquarters. Stryll didn't buy him, but he questioned the lieutenant aggressively.

"I didn't expect Stryer to have such a surname!" Winters couldn't help laughing.

Nixon nodded and said, "Who knows? Maybe I've been with Colonel Sink for a long time, but it's very suitable for me. Then he raised the bottle to Winters, "For Stry." Then I took a big sip.

Winters smiled, and the two walked side by side.

"Have you ever prayed?" Nixon asked.

Winters nodded: "Yes, what I am most grateful to God now is that he blessed me through the day, and I even ask him to help me every day after D."

The two stood on a slope together and looked at the burning sky in the distance. Nixon said, "Dick, do you know what I'm praying for?"

Winters didn't make a sound.

"If I die for the country one day, I will pray to God to fulfill one of my wishes. Even in heaven, I want to drink. I can't live without wine for a day!" Nixon suddenly smiled. Then he thought this prayer was really funny. But he finally couldn't laugh, and then he stopped talking. In such a war, no one can tell what will happen in the future.

Winters looked at Nixon, who was silent, and put his eyes on the night sky. Now he has secretly made a vow for himself that if he can live until the end of the war, he will find a remote farm and spend the rest of his life in a peaceful environment.

Just as the two were silent, there were footsteps next to them. Winters picked up his gun, pointed it over there, and then heard a man's voice: "Lieutenant Winters?"

is the voice of Parks. Winters put away the gun and saw Parks coming over.

"What's the matter?" Winters asked.

"I think there is one thing that Lieutenant Colonel Stryll may have forgotten." Parks said, "Although we have arranged a sentry at the entrance of the village, I don't think the Germans will withdraw from St. Mary's Monte so soon. I think we should send some more sentries on the periphery of the village.

Winters nodded: "You're right."

"Do you need me to arrange my brothers?" Parks asked.

"No, I don't need it!" Winster looked at the place where the E brothers camped. "I don't need too many people. I'll go. The brothers are tired enough today."

"I'll go with you!" Parks nodded, and Winters's consideration was reasonable.
