Chapter 117 Non-commissioned Officers and Officers

The brothers of Company E spent seven days of vacation and returned to the barracks on time. Although they spent a lot of money in London, no one asked for leave and no one was late.

But on the first day, there was still something wrong. Smith sprained his foot during training, which made Winters frown. Obviously, some brothers are very rusty with it.

"Is there any problem with you!" Winters still asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm just a little careless!" Smith also looked embarrassed, and he muttered to Winters. In fact, there are obviously not a few people who seem strange like him.

"Soldier," Winters stood in front of the company and said loudly, "You are paratroopers who have been trained for two years and participated in the battle of Normandy. Don't act like a recruit, you should know that this will kill you in future battles. Think about the brothers who have lost their lives in this battle, you should be ashamed!"

Winters's words are very harsh, and he seldom talks to his brothers like this. Parks knows why. It is an emotionally unbearable thing for anyone to write to the mothers of the soldiers who died in these days every day. Winters is just looking for an excuse to vent, but he is more worried about his brothers' future.

In the training the next day, the brothers were much better. Everyone seems to be serious, and no one is happening like Smith. And because of the good news the next day, many E Company's brothers were very happy.

At the end of the early training, Winters announced the promotion and appointment of many people before the company's queue announced its dissolution.

Kawood? Li Pu became the second-class sergeant in the company; Freud? Typert was promoted to sergeant in the company; David? Randerman, Bill? Gernel, Donald? Malaki, John? Martin also became a sergeant; Warren? Muck, Joe? Toy, Paul? Rogers and Mike? Lanny, Ed? Tibo was promoted from second-class soldier to sergeant; Pat? Christensen, Walter? Gordon, John? Pryssa and Lavin? Reese, Leo? Boyle, Orton? Moore, Jerry? White was promoted from second-class soldier to corporal.

All the brothers who were promoted stood upright, and they couldn't hide their excitement. And they don't intend to hide their emotions at all. Many brothers looked at them with envy.

"Disband!" When Winters' order was given, many people cheered and surrounded these guys.

"Congratulations, John!" Randorman stretched out his hand to Martin.

Martin looked at Landoman and said solemnly, "You mean I look like a big man now?" Then he couldn't help laughing and hugged Landoman.

Li Pu called Lanny, who was laughing with his brothers. The two shook hands first, and then hugged him tightly. Li Pu was very happy for Lanny. He patted Lanny on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Congratulations! Brothers have been waiting for this day for a long time. After Lip and Lanny hugged, Martin, Tybert and Gernery all gathered around and hugged Lanny.

Lanny was a sergeant who played a leading role in the last riot against Sober. After the riot, he was demoted from sergeant to private, and now he has finally become a sergeant. In this mood, the sergeants who participated in the mutat at that time were very clear and spontaneously came to congratulate him.

"Thank you, guys!" Lanny nodded. To be honest, he was very excited, not only to re-establish his position as a sergeant, but also to remember what he had done at that time.

There are many soldiers and non-commissioned officers promoted this time, which is still a great boost to morale after the First World War, especially after a battle with heavy casualties.

"Actually, for us, you should have been promoted to sergeant long ago!" Randolman smiled and said, "Maybe I can let Sober see it again. He can't beat us."

"Sorber?" Martin suddenly said, "Someone has seen him on Utah Beach. Do you know what he is doing now? Guys!" (Guys)

"Don't be a pun on, just say it!" Gnell said.

"He became a logistics supply officer." Martin laughed and said, "He also saw several brothers of Company E, but no one wanted to come forward to say hello to him. If it were me, I might say hello to him: Sir, when will you send us some beef? We don't want to eat the damn K dry food anymore!"

"Yes, you should greet him like this!" Granari nodded quickly.

Li Pu couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Then he patted Lanny on the shoulder and left. The brothers' resentment against Sober has always existed. But Li Pu also knew that no matter how bad Sober was, his strict training of the E Company brothers still benefited the E Company's brothers. Li Pu knew very well.

After the team was disbanded, Winters waved to Wales, Compton and other officers.

"Go to the company!" He didn't say much and went straight to the company.

Parks also followed, including Nixon and a lieutenant officer in the company. Wales and Compton didn't know him, but Parks also speculated secretly, but he didn't get the point.

"Is this Thomas? Lieutenant Picak is a substitute officer of the regimental headquarters!" Winters introduced the officers who came in, and then introduced the officers in the company to Lieutenant Picak one by one.

"Wales, Compton, Parks!" Winters introduced the past in order. Every time he introduces a person, Picak will hug him enthusiastically, which makes the three of them not very comfortable. After all, they are not familiar with it.

"Parks?" When Picak stood in front of Parks, his eyes lit up, "Oh, my God, it's great to see you in person. I've heard of you. In fact, the whole 506th Regiment knows you. You are so famous. I'm glad to be in the same company with you. It's my honor!" With that, Pikak and Parks had a bear hug, regardless of whether Parks was willing or not, and then they had a face-to-face etiquette with Parks, laughing and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you too!" Parks touched his cheek helplessly, and then shrugged his shoulders at the stunned Welsh and others, expressing his helplessness.

"Okay, I have something to announce now!" Winters coughed dryly, then took out a few appointment orders, and first said to Wales, "Harry, Colonel Sink decided to promote you to lieutenant because of your courage and achievements in the battle." With that, he showed the order to Wales and took off the copper strip on his collar and attached a silver strip for him.

Was happily hugged Winters, then picked up the appointment order and smiled at Winters, "Dick, thank you very much, really, I don't know what to say!"

Winters nodded and smiled, "Harry, I will transfer you to the company headquarters to be my chief staff officer."

Wales' eyes lit up, then nodded and smiled, "Great, Dick, I really can't think of a better position than this. It seems that I will look forward to my future work more.

"Good job, Harry!" Winters patted Wales' arm and then smiled at Compton, "Buck, Colonel Sink has also promoted you to the rank of lieutenant. This is your appointment order!" With that, he handed the order to him, took out a silver bar from his pocket and put it on Compton. Then he shook hands and smiled, "Congratulations, Buck!"

"Thank you, Dick!" Compton squeezed his lips. To be honest, he was also excited. Although he didn't care much about this, he was still a little disappointed when Parks was promoted to lieutenant. Now that I have been promoted, I am naturally very happy.

"Now the first and third rows remain unchanged. After the second row of Wales leaves office, Pikak will be the platoon leader." Winters smiled at Picac and said, "I'm looking forward to you leading the brothers in the second row to do a good job!"

"I will, sir!" Picac made a military salute to Winters.

Parks couldn't help smiling bitterly. Picak was still sent to Company E. Although he was not the first platoon leader, he still served as the platoon leader of the second platoon. This was one of the officers who was not optimistic about later, the dogmatic guy, and the brothers were quite resentful of him.

"Well, guys, now our positions are basically filled, and there will be officers to report in a few days. And we will also add full recruits. This is good news for us!" Winters smiled at the crowd.

Parks walked out of the company, and he went straight to the row. For the soldiers who are promoted today, he must rearrange his work for them. He first met Landman around a row of barracks.

"Randoman, gather a row of brothers, I have something to announce!" Parks Road.

"Okay, sir!" Landorman nodded and began to gather the brothers.

Because the company had just disbanded, the crowd had not yet dispersed. Soon, the rows of brothers arrived.

"I didn't want to disturb everyone, but someone in our platoon was promoted today, so I have to rearrange the work in the platoon!" Parks's first words made his brothers laugh unconsciously.

"The monitor of the first class is by John? Sergeant Martin, Mike? Sergeant Lanny served as his deputy. Parks nodded to the two of them, and then continued to announce, "The monitor of Class Two is David? Sergeant Randolman, he is one of the best soldiers I have ever met, Dono? Sergeant Malaqi helped him as the deputy monitor. Bill? Sergeant Grenari is the monitor of Class Three, Joe? Sergeant Toy serves as the deputy monitor.

"I have been given too many surprises today!" Granary muttered in a low voice below. In fact, he used to be the monitor, but Toy served as his deputy, which is why he was so angry. After all, Toy is one of his closest people in the E company.

"But, sir! I have a question." Gernari raised his hand.

"Ask, Granry!" Parks nodded to him.

Grenari looked at the brothers around him and then said, "Sir, we don't have enough manpower now. We still need people, and the establishment of each class is incomplete. What should we do? Is it possible to fight with the Germans like this again?

Everyone looked at Parks, and they also looked forward to the answer to this question.

"We will be full and fight against the Germans!" Parks hesitated for a moment and looked at his brothers. "It will be added by new paratroopers. They will fill our losses. He suddenly sighed in his heart that E-Lian will add a lot of new faces, so is E-Lian still the previous E-Lian?
