Chapter 89 People of the Army Department

Winters really can't think of a second person, just like Colonel Sink can't think of a second company to carry out this task. In any case, the 506th Regiment is the elite of the 101st Division, and the E Company is the elite of the 506th Regiment. This has been verified in training and combat. And also because Company E has the best soldier of the 101st Division - Second Lieutenant Parks. This soldier, who was repeatedly praised by General Li at the beginning and later, left a very deep impression on Colonel Sink.

"Dick, this is the task." Sink used Winters' nickname, "We can't refuse. This order comes directly from the Army, and I have always believed that only Company E can complete this task. You can send a combat team to execute it.

"Sir, the brothers of Company E are very tired. They have been participating in the battle endlessly since D Day. What they need is rest." Winters was a little unhappy, because since D, Company E has been taking on the most heavy combat tasks, and can complete it well every time. Especially this time, in the case of the collapse of Company D and Company F, they nailed to the position and finally saved the whole battle. The brothers of Company E paid a huge price.

Sink was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Dick, we have no choice." Yes, this task has been determined, and now there is no choice. The same is true of Winters. Although he can complain, he has no choice.

"You are all the valuable assets of the army and the best resources of the army. You should be used where you are most needed!" Sink continued, although he knew that these words were not comforting. "So Dick, have a good talk with your brothers."

Winters nodded. He stopped talking, and then turned around to leave the regiment.

"Dick!" Sink stopped him from behind.

Winters turned around and looked at Sink, waiting for his next word without saying a word.

"Parks may be a better choice." Sink nodded to him and said, "Reese? Parks." He reminded again loudly: "The League Department will provide you with all the resources you need."

Winters didn't say anything and went straight out of the regimental headquarters. He knows that this is a very dangerous task. The person who can complete this task must be a very good candidate, and the discipline must be very strong. The first name in his heart is Les? Parks.

Although he didn't know how to talk to Parks, he found an opportunity to say it. It's difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to carry out this order, so he can only do this in the face of Parks now.

"That bunch of bastards!" Parks cursed in a low voice. Winters knows who he scolds. Colonel Sink, the commander of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Division, may be included in it.

"Parks!" Winters coughed dryly again, and he looked at him worriedly.

Parks glanced at Winters, then nodded and said, "Okay, I promise. Instead of letting other brothers take risks, I'm more at ease. Dick, let's talk about material issues with the regimental department. I want to complete this task. There are some essential things.

Winters nodded and said, "Don't worry, the regiment will do its best to provide you."

Winters took out a map from his arms, then spread it out in ** and said to Parks, "Now we are facing the German Sixth Parachute Regiment in this position, and they retreated to the second line of defense. For a short time, we can't capture them. They have heavy artillery and mortars, and of course, tanks. And three kilometers to their right, there is a small village called New Verdo. The Germans should have detained prisoners of war in this village, and the specific location is not clear.

"Should it be?" Parks couldn't help frowning, "You mean, is this just an estimate? Or even the superiors don't know the specific location of the prisoners of war? That's great. It all depends on luck. His tone was sarcastic.

"How many people are watching the prisoners of war?"

"I don't know."

"Are there any other places where prisoners of war are held?"

"I don't know, Parks!" Winters apologized and said, "This is all the information they already know!"

"Well, that's good." Parks decided not to discuss this intelligence anymore. He could only watch the on-the-spot performance at that time, but he added, "Dick, how long have we been?"

"Before we defeat the Germans, or before the Germans defeat us." Winters said, because if the U.S. military defeats the Germans, the Germans may kill all the prisoners. If the Germans defeat the U.S. military, the prisoners of war will be transferred to the concentration camp, and they will not be rescued.

"There should be five days." Winters said, "In these five days, whether our reinforcements or the German reinforcements come up, it will have a great impact on the rescue, so the best rescue time is five days starting tomorrow. In these five days, you have to cross the defense lines of the two armies and take a detour from the right side to enter the German defense zone. You have to make a big circle. In the German defense zone, you have to avoid the German patrols at any time, and there may be small-scale battles.

"I know!" Parks nodded, which he was very familiar with. As a once-experienced agent, he not only performed various assassination missions, but also had experience in various special operations, especially leading small teams in special battles. Agents like him are trained and fought hard, and their situation is far more dangerous than the current E Company.

"It's up to you to decide all the manpower you need, and all the soldiers of Company E will be your candidates." This is the greatest support Winters can give.

"Okay, I'll draw up a list and give it to you!" Parks nodded, "And all the equipment resources needed."

Winters nodded. He looked at Parks and patted him on the shoulder: "Rees, work hard. Whether the task is successful or not, remember to come back alive." Then he turned around and went downstairs.

After seven o'clock the next morning, Parks was woken up by Winters. When they returned to the room downstairs, not only Nixon but also Wales, Compton was also in it.

"Coloe Sink decided to hold a banquet for the officers of the 506th Regiment, so we have to attend." Winters smiled and said, "I suggest changing into a neat military uniform, which is also requested by Colonel Sink. He said that the officer represents the face of the 506th Regiment. Don't look like a beggar, which will be laughed at by the Germans."

"Oh, so it is," Wales whistled and looked at Nixon. "Nick, didn't expect revenge to come so soon? It's really time to compare you with Dick. Obviously, he meant the thing that Nixon laughed at Winters for shaving at night last night, which made him have some fun.

"Well, you still have ten minutes, eight o'clock sharp, we have to go to the regiment department, they are in the largest hotel in the town, and there is a lot of good wine!" Nixon changed the topic and urged quickly.

Coloe Sink's banquet venue is very spacious. The officers of the regiment are all here, and they are also very spacious. There are delicious wine and delicious food here, except for the beautiful waitresses who pour wine everywhere.

"This is really a good place!" Compton forked a large piece of roast beef on the plate with a fork, and what he was chewing in his mouth was not clear what he said.

"Sink is so kind!" Wales forked a piece of barbecue, then put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, then raised the glass and took a sip of wine, exaggerating, "Maybe this is the benefit that the officer should enjoy."

Nixon shook his head and smiled, "Harry, you're wrong. Brothers, you can't live worse than you. You know those kids, now they have almost dug three feet of the whole town. They can find all the wine, food and some available items. It is said that they slaughtered two cows this morning, and I don't know where they got them.

"Wow, that's great!" Wales exaggerated, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to attend this banquet. Because there is nothing to attract me here except food.

"Including Colonel Sink's speech later?" Compton laughed.

"I'm sure." Wales nodded, "Coloe Sink will probably say that the brothers work very hard, he will be proud of us, and the 506 Regiment is invincible. In fact, I have known this content for a long time.

Sure enough, after a while, Colonel Sink stepped on a higher stage and began to give his speech to all the officers. In terms of his impassioned language, it was indeed ** and inspiring.

"...The brothers of the 506 regiment have experienced all kinds of hardships, and they are more like a real man. I'm proud of you. The 506 regiment is not only now, but also in the future, it will be invincible..."

"Puff--" Compton tried his best to stop laughing, but still sprayed a sip of wine on the back of Wales standing in front of him.

"Oh - Compton, you stained my only clean clothes!" Wales couldn't help complaining in a low voice. As I said a long time ago, you really don't have any psychological preparation.

"Cheers!" Just as the two were whispering below, they heard Sink shouting on the stage.

"Cheers!" All the officers roared and drank up the wine in the glass.

The purpose of the banquet was just to boost morale. Just as Wales and Compton muttered, Sink also announced that he would be an officer who had participated in many battles and performed bravely. This is also an important reason why the officers cheered.

"Second Lieutenant Parks!" Someone is calling him. When Parks turned around, he was a lieutenant officer.

"Your officer?" Parks looked at him doubtfully.

"Colos. Sink is waiting for you in the room next to you!" The lieutenant nodded to Parks, "Please come with me!"

Compton and Wales around Parks looked at him in surprise. Only Winters understood a little, because he had told Colonel Sink the name of the person in charge of the operation before that.

When Parks walked into the room, there was Colonel Sink inside, sitting next to Lieutenant Colonel Stry and Major Horton, which he was most familiar with. There is also a major and two captains, but Parks doesn't know him.

"This is Major Robert sent by the Army." Without nonsense, Sink directly introduced the sitting young major to Cox.
