Chapter 70 Second Lieutenant Parks

The Germans in St. Mary's and Monte also took the initiative to give up their positions under the attack of a battalion. They contracted to Carrington and began to lay defense lines on the periphery. The Germans of Ungerville Oplein also retreated. They were hit hard by Company E, and they suffered 70 or 80 casualties. Company E also had casualties, but not much. Fuster, a second-class soldier in the third platoon, was hit in the head by the shrapnel of the anti-tank gun and died within a short time. Private Erich was also directly hit by the shell, which was directly torn apart. In addition, the second-row corporal Cartwright was also hit in the chest by a German machine gun and died at that time. In addition, there are some injuries.

Shortly after the capture of Ungerville Oplein, Colonel Sink felt here and decided to set up the regiment here.

"Wentes, Colonel Sink is very satisfied with your command this time and captured here at a very small price." Nixon and Winters stood at the entrance of the town. They watched the soldiers set up outposts and roadblocks in front of them. Nixon said to Winters with a smile.

Winters nodded, and the corners of his mouth **: "Three brothers died, and more than a dozen brothers were injured."

"You killed more than 30 Germans and injured and captured more than 40 people. This result is not bad news for the three of them." Nixon touched the wine bottle again, but he didn't touch it.

"Yes!" Winters found a place to sit down. "But thanks to Parks, if it hadn't been for his accurate estimate and decisive attack, we wouldn't have achieved such a big result."

"It seems that you have found a good platoon leader!" Nixon smiled and nodded to Winters.

"This is the most right thing I have done since I became a company commander." Winters was also very proud of his decision. "He is very good at catching fighters and likes to charge forward and take the lead."

Nixon nodded and smiled, "This time it seems that Colonel Sink is very satisfied with your performance. He has set up the regiment headquarters here. It seems that he will summon you soon!"

As he spoke, he saw a jeep speeding over, and then they stopped not far away. A sergeant came down from them. He saluted Winters and Nixon.

"Coloe Sink asked you to go to the regimental headquarters. Lieutenant Winters!" The sergeant conveyed Colonel Sink's order.

Nixon winked at Winters and smiled, as if to say, sure enough. Winters shrugged his shoulders at him, and then said to the sergeant, "Okay, I'll go with you in your car."

The two of them boarded the car, rolled up the dust, and walked away. The rest of Nixon's heart smiled.

"I'm very satisfied with the performance of this E company!" Sink held a cigar between his fingers and motioned Winters to sit down. At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Stry next to him handed him a glass of water.

"Thank you!" Winters squeezed over and nodded.

"I'm setting up the regimental headquarters here now. I want Company E to be the guard force of the regimental headquarters. Is there any problem?" Sink took a sip of the cigar, and the brand was the same as Churchill.

"I think there should be no problem! Sir!" Winters stood up.

" OK, it's settled like this. Keep working like this in the future!" Sink nodded, "Lieutenant Winters, I have confidence in you. Well, the regimental department has approved your position as the company commander. If Mihan comes back in the future, we will arrange him to hold a position in the battalion headquarters. You don't have to worry about this.

Winters' heart moved slightly at this time, and then a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth: "I will try my best, Colonel!"

"Okay, go and get ready!" Sink nodded to him.

Winters saluted, then turned around and left. When he walked to the door, he heard Colonel Sink's voice again, "Lieutenant!"

"What's the matter? Sir?" Winters stopped and turned his head to look at Colonel Sink.

"I just forgot this!" Sink said, taking out a copper strip from his pocket, "This is for Parks. I think he will feel very honored if you wear it for him.

"Yes, sir!" Winters couldn't help smiling. He stepped forward and took the copper strip, then saluted again before leaving.

Sink watched him leave, and then smiled at Stryer: "He is a good commander."

"Where's Parks?" Stryll looked at Sink and said, "I didn't expect you to approve it very quickly. Parks is also my favorite. But let's see later. Maybe it will surprise us.

Sink nodded and then said, "Soldiers like Parks are rare." He suddenly became a little curious about the soldier. How did he get involved with General Li?

The brothers of Company E can finally take a break. He repelled the many attacks of the Germans, and for the last time, he chased the Germans like ducks, which was really a little gratifying.

"Parks really has you!" The brothers of Company E sat next to the broken wall and chatted. White admires Parks and is endlessly expressing his admiration for Parks.

"Come on, don't say this!" Parks smiled and then raised his wrist around the cuff. "Look, this is my booty. Can any of you exchange it with me? I have three watches now, and they are very expensive.

"This is what I found!" Moore also raised a ring, "It's also valuable!"

A group of people were chatting. At this time, another pair of soldiers came over. Parks recognized that it was from Company D.

"Hey, have you seen it, Spiel!" At this time, Moore suddenly said to Parks, "Do you all know about him?" Obviously, his words were a little ostentatious in front of his brothers.

"What's the matter?" Sure enough, someone is asking.

Moore couldn't help but say mysteriously, "I also heard that on the day of D, Spiel shot and killed more than a dozen prisoners." Then he looked at Parks and said, "Have you heard about this?"

Parks shook his head: "No, I never inquire about these things, Moore, it doesn't make sense. Even if it's shot, what can I do? He killed the Germans. It's nothing!"

When Moore heard this, he suddenly had no emotion, regardless of the constant urging of his brothers. Parks couldn't help smiling bitterly. The rumor that Spiel had shot the prisoner finally spread. Originally, he had never heard of it on the day, and Spiel also helped Winters capture the last cannon of the manor.

"Okay, don't talk about this! Whether it's true or not, it's not fair to Spire!" Parks stood up, patted his buttocks, picked up the rifle standing aside, and was about to leave.

At this time, I saw Winters and Nixon coming over.

"Parks, gather the brothers! I have something to announce!" Winters said to Parks.

Parks nodded and then shouted, "E Company, pay attention, gather together, line up!"

Winters watched the brothers arrive, and then he stood in front of the line with a smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Brothers of Company E, the regimental headquarters is very satisfied with our battle in D and later, and has given a certain reward for the bravery of the battle. I believe that the order will be issued soon." Winters said loudly, "Today is mainly a medal ceremony. Sergeant Major Parks, the acting platoon leader of Company E, was personally approved by Colonel Sink, and he was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, and Parks was listed!"

Parks took a big step and walked to the front of the team. He stood upright with a nervous and serious expression.

Winters put the copper strip in his hand on his collar, and then saluted him. Then he waited for Parks to return the gift, and then took his hand and smiled, "Congratulations, Parks!"

"Thank you, sir!" Parks smiled.

The cheers of the brothers sounded in the team. They were very happy with Parks' promotion, which was a heartfelt cheer.

"Disband!" Winters said, and then waved to Parks, "Wait a minute, let's go together!"

Parks nodded. The three of them walked together in the camp.

"Now you have officially become an officer. So the requirements for yourself should be different. Of course, it's not to keep your distance from your brothers, but to keep the dignity of your officers, and to ensure that the soldiers in your platoon have the same respect for you! That's why I announced your promotion in front of the Quanlian brothers.

"I know, sir!" Parks Road.

"Relax, we're just chatting. In private, you can call me Dick!" Winters laughed.

"Well, that's what he is. Relax when it's time to be serious, and be serious when it's time to relax!" Nixon next to him made a joke.

"I know, Dick!" Parks laughed.

"Well, Parks, I basically don't have any advice for you to lead a platoon. I hope you can perform better in the future." Winters said, "Also, there are a lot of brothers who don't participate in many battles. Talk to them more."

Parks nodded, then said goodbye to Winters and walked straight to his platoon.

"Congratulations, Parks!" As soon as Parks appeared, the brothers in the platoon gathered around. They smiled and sincerely congratulated Parks.
