Chapter 82 Emotions

"Are you sure you won't be affected?" Winters frowned and looked at the place where Parks's thighs were bandaged, as if to judge whether he was suitable to continue fighting.

"Don't be stubborn, Parks!" Nixon poured three glasses of wine, one to Wales and one to Parks. He raised one to the two, motioned to the two, and then took a sip. But he is obviously not optimistic about Parker's injury.

"You have to be more careful!" Wales raised his glass and took a big sip. He was not used to a small sip like Nixon. It was really not tasty.

"I know my situation, Harry. I'm in great health. This injury is nothing, not to mention that I have been best dealt with." Parks drank the wine dry in one sip, which was more neat than Wales. "I'm still very strong!" With that, he waved his arm to show his muscles.

"I bet this guy is still as strong as a cow." Wales punched Parks on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Winters thought for a moment. He knew that Parks was very important to the company, which had reflected his value in the battles in recent days. He didn't want him to take risks, but he didn't want him to leave. If you want to recover from your injury, it will take at least a few days, which is undoubtedly not good news for E Company, which is in a tense stage of battle all day long.

"Okay, you stay!" Winters nodded helplessly. He was still selfish. "But once you have a problem with your body, I will definitely send you to the rear hospital. This is my bottom line!"

"Thank you, Dick!" Parks grinned and handed the glass to Nixon. "Is there any wine? This wine tastes great. How about another drink?

Nixon smiled bitterly and nodded, "Of course, this is aging whisky. It's delicious to taste it slowly. Don't learn how Harry drinks. Only alcoholics drink like that."

Wales shrugged his shoulders at Nixon: "Don't forget, Dick still has a bucket of good wine here. All three of us have a share." With that, all three of them laughed.

Winters looked at the three guys and shook his head helplessly and smiled.

In the company, four people were talking and laughing, and someone was knocking at the door.

Parks walked over and opened the generals. It was Sergeant Fix of the battalion. He first smiled at Parks, then glanced at several people in the room and stopped at Lieutenant Winters.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you!" Fix has a lot of respect for Winters, which comes from a series of victories that Winters have won since D, and his current reputation in the battalion is like Zhongtian. Many soldiers and sergeants respect him.

"What's the matter?" Winters smiled.

Fix hurriedly smiled and said, "Lt. Colonel Stry and Major Horton asked me to invite you to the battalion."

"I see!" Winters nodded, "I'll be right there!"

Fix smiled and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant." Then he looked at Nixon again and said, "Captain, I'm afraid you have to go with me, because Lieutenant Colonel Stryll also told you to go there together."

Nixon shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking helpless.

Watching the three of them leave, Wales smiled at Parks and said, "Let's sit down, too. Maybe we can try the last barrel of wine. This is the first big victory of Company E. We have to celebrate."

"Why not?" Parks laughed.

Wass poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Parks. Then the two of them touched it and made a crisp sound.

"For victory!" Parks laughed.

"For whisky!" Wales smiled and said, "I like loot, German."

For the sake of whisky, this sentence is very vivid. Now in the hearts of many brothers of E Company, it is the happiest thing to be able to search for the whisky hidden by the Germans. This is a reward for the winner, so many people look for good wine in the city during the break.

"Do you think we can enter Berlin before Christmas?" Wales sat comfortably in the chair and began to taste whisky like Nixon.

"What do you think?" Parks stopped the words of Wales and suddenly felt that the brothers in Company E were now shrouded in a kind of fast-win optimism. They believed that the Germans would soon be expelled and the war would end before Christmas. This sentiment is obviously not good for the current E Company. Once there is a major setback, morale will decline quickly.

"According to the situation of capturing Carrington today, the German army is exhausted, so we should enjoy it now, Parks!" Wales took a sip of the wine in the glass, stood up, and filled his glass again.

"I don't think so, Harry!" Parks shook his head, and he had to pour some cold water on E-Lian's optimism.

"Why?" Wales frowned and looked at him eagerly.

"Do you think it's going well? Yes, it seems that we are really going well now. Parks nodded, "Harry, have you thought about it? We landed on D, and it went very well. This is because the Germans were fooled by us. They were confused by us. For example, they were dragged by a large number of troops by General Patton with an empty shell. So the resistance we encountered at the beginning was not strong, just because they were not prepared enough. But..."

Parks said this and sighed: "But once the German army comes to its senses, they will organize effective resistance. After all, this road is the road to Germany."

"Do you mean that we will encounter very tenacious resistance in the future?" Wales looked at Parks and nodded, "This idea is not wrong, but we are much stronger than the Germans."

This optimism cannot easily subside in the face of victory. Parks knows that it is difficult to convince them, and it is even more impossible for him to act like a prophet in front of an officer, or give advice and strategic analysis to his superiors. This can only make them bored and despise themselves, and they will think that they are just a guy who is crazy about getting promoted. Moreover, it is impossible for those guys in the Supreme Command not to know what will happen in the future. They fully understand, but there are other interest entanglements between their senior management, which leads to the unfavorable progress of the war. This is inevitable. Even if they are informed of the process in advance, some things will still happen.

Maybe I can only talk to some of my brothers in the company. Parks is a little helpless. At least he can prepare his brothers in their hearts so that they will not lose morale if they fail.

Optimism even spread to the battalion headquarters. Of course, their optimism was won by victory**. Their vision was not much better than that of the soldiers. This is a kind of top-down optimism. The commander infects the officers, and the officers infects the soldiers, which is like a plague.

"Do you know what the German demon said about us?" In the camp, Horton looked very happy. He waved his hand happily, as if he were giving a speech. "He said, 'Oh, thank God, those fools have finally landed.' Yes, now we 'stupid' have landed, and we are going to Berlin to catch him in person.

"The estimate of the commander-in-chief is very optimistic, and some people even say that Christmas can end the war." Stryll smiled and said, "Wentes, what do you think? Christmas?"

Winters smiled and said, "S sir, I don't make any predictions. Just let those commanders get out of their minds. Maybe Major Horton is right. We are some fools who run all the way to England and then cross the English Channel to be the liberators of Europe and the invaders of Germany. It's that simple.

"It's an interesting statement!" Stryll said.

"The E Company performed very well today. I have told Colonel Sink that he is very satisfied with your performance, and General Taylor is also very satisfied with your performance. It is very important for us to capture Carrington." Heton interrupted.

"Thank you, sir." Winters smiled and then said, "But this battle has exhausted the brothers. They may need to rest. The battle is too hard."

"I know that Company E has always been the pride of the second battalion, so today's most important battle, I decided to hand it over to Company E. Now the results prove that my decision is very correct." Stry looked slightly thoughtful, "But our current situation is not optimistic. Company E must take its own responsibility."

"Yes, I know!" Winters is a little helpless.

"Well, Winters, we all know that Carrington's important surname is the same for us and the Germans, so if the Germans lose here, they will definitely find a way to get it back, and they will do their best. We have to be prepared." Horton nodded, and then said to Winters solemnly.

"Hur, what do you need to do with E Company?" Winters looked serious.

"The Germans will definitely fight back, and they will definitely come from the southwest and follow the road you walked when you E- Company attacked." Stryll liked Winters' serious attitude towards work, so he nodded.

Terrain is an important factor in determining the progress of the operation. From that direction to Carrington, you have to pass through the highlands like a peninsula. To the north of the railway line and to the south of the highway, there is flooded land.

"General Taylor decided to advance a few kilometers west to build a defensive position on the high ground." Stryll pointed to the map around Carrington and said, "The E company will be unknown on the far right and unfolds along the railway."

"I see! Sir!" Winters nodded. Everyone in the camp looked at him and said nothing more. Winters felt that he should say goodbye. He walked towards the door.

"Wentes!" Stryll stopped him from behind.

"What, sir?" Winters turned around.

"Is Parks injured? How's it going now?" It turned out that the battalion department also knew about Parks's situation, so Stryll asked.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. He can participate in the fight against the Germans." Winters said calmly.

Stryll nodded and then smiled, "That's good. He did a good job. Get ready!" Stryll, this is an attitude towards E Company.
