Chapter 130 Participation
The soldiers in the first row were surrounded by the company's headquarters. This was especially allowed by Winters. He also said a few words to these brothers at the same time. Just like last time, he knew that it could only delay himself a little time, but it was important to morale.
"I need volunteers for this task." Parks stood in the middle of the circle surrounded by brothers, "But the mission has a very dangerous surname. I need veteran volunteers! We will go deep behind the enemy as we did last time to complete the task.
Gernelly raised his hand. His face was calm and there was no fluctuation at all, but his hand stood up high and looked very abrupt in the crowd: "I'll go!"
"And me!" Da Niu Landman then raised his hand. He smiled and then bit his cigar calmly.
"Me!" Lanny raised his hand, and Maraki, Toy, Chris Denson, Cap, White and so on raised his hand with him. They didn't think much, just out of a kind of trust, which was very important to them.
Webster hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand. Pep raised his hand with him.
Parks looked at it. None of the veterans fell, and they all raised their hands. When the recruits saw the veteran's inspecting manner, they no longer hesitated and raised their hands.
"All?" Nixon whistled aside and couldn't help laughing, "Lace, it seems that your management of a row is very popular."
Parks calculated that there are 31 veterans, and there is no need for new recruits at all. To be honest, Parks is not sure about the recruits. After all, the risk this time is relatively high, and those recruits who have not seen the battlefield of real guns may become a burden.
"All the veterans stay, and the recruits are disbanded!" Parks nodded and then gave the order.
The recruits were a little stunned when they heard such an order. Some were surprised, some were unwilling, and some showed a little joy, but this has become a forged conclusion. In any case, it is impossible for them to participate in this operation.
Watching the recruits go out. Parks sent the briefing with the mission to everyone, and then coughed dryly and said, "I hope to read the briefing carefully before boarding the plane. This mission has a very high risk, but once it is achieved, it will have an impact on the war. This is the direct order from General Taylor.
Gernelly raised his hand: "Lieutenant, how much time do we have to complete this task?"
"One day!"
"I have no problem!" Gernelly nodded and had the experience of performing a mission with Parks, and he was better prepared for such a task. So he didn't ask much.
"What about our retreat route?" Lanny raised his hand, "The briefing did not indicate our retreat route."
Parks looked at him, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and then said, "We don't have a specific retreat route. Until the task is completed, we all move with cameras and there is no fixed route."
"No?" Lanny shrugged her shoulders, and her tone was full of puzzles.
In fact, the retreat route is almost non-existent. General Taylor's plan was to stay there after Parks completed the mission and wait for the British First Airborne Division to capture the Arnam Bridge and defeat the Germans before joining the British. But Parks can never guarantee that even after his intelligence is sent out, the British army will win the decision, so the retreat can only depend on luck. Of course, Parks has had an idea in his mind, but he doesn't want to say it now.
"Who else has a problem?" Parks looked around again, and no one raised his hand anymore. There was no look of joy on the faces of the remaining veterans. After all, this task was very dangerous. But despite this, they still chose to go, but they were still a little nervous and couldn't see what the way forward would be.
Parks hopes that these veterans will have a good ending, but he hopes that through this mission, the Allies can completely pay attention to the German army and make reasonable adjustments. Although I don't expect the victory of the whole operation, let my company lose fewer brothers, which is what Parks thought,
"Listen!" At this time, Winters stood up. Facing a row of veterans, he said with a solemn face, "Guys, I know this is a hard operation. Parks is one of the best officers I have ever seen. Some people here have followed him to participate in the rescue operation. He should know that what he cares most about is his brothers. You can live well.
At this point, Winters paused for a moment and then said, "If I can participate in this operation, I will trust him unconditionally." So--" he looked at the brothers around him, "I also hope that all the brothers can give him unconditional trust and obedience like me, which is the guarantee to complete the task and come back alive!"
"I see!" The brothers responded in a scattered way. Now that they have participated in the operation, this is their basic guarantee, and Grenari and others are convinced of it.
"Okay, let's disband!" Parks saw that Winters didn't say anything more, and then announced the dissolution. "We will all go back to the camp to pack up our equipment. We will meet in front of a row of camps two hours later, that is, at 11 p.m., and then go to the airport."
"Yes, sir!" The brothers agreed and then dispersed. Tonight, they will fly across the English Channel and then drop it on the Rhine River, ten miles south of the Anum Bridge, and then walk quickly to approach the bridge, and monitor and report the nearby German troops to the division.
"Lieutenant Hailige!" Parks suddenly stopped him, "You don't have to go. There are other brothers in the row who need your care."
He Lige couldn't help but be stunned and was about to say something. At this time, Winters said, "I know what you want to say, but someone has to stay and do these things. I believe you will let the rest of the recruits get a good exercise!"
"Okay!" Hai Lige nodded helplessly before leaving.
"They are all good brothers!" Winters said to Parks, who was about to go out.
"Yes, Dick, I know what you're going to say." Parks nodded to him and said, "I promise you that I will try my best to bring them all back alive. This is what you once said, and I remember it!"
Winters smiled and said nothing more.
Parks looked at him and then smiled and said, "In a word, I won't regret this action. There are some things to do than to make people feel at ease than not doing them. Even if sometimes it doesn't mean anything to those big people, he is much more meaningful to people like us. Well, I also I'm leaving!" With that, he opened the door of the headquarters.
"Lace!" Suddenly, a voice behind him stopped him.
Parks looked back and saw that it was Nixon and Wales. They looked at him with a smile.
"What?" Parks looked at them.
"I told Dick that if you landed on the German side like this, you wouldn't find a way unless you took me to skydiving," Wales smiled at Parks. "How's it going? Oh, don't look at me like that. Dick has agreed. If I can convince you, then I can fly with you!"
Xon shrugged his shoulders at him, then spread out his hand and said, "Harry has been muttering in front of Dick since he got the mission briefing. We can't persuade him. So, unless you convince him, or you promise him, choose for yourself!"
Parks couldn't help smiling, and then nodded and said, "Okay, Harry, I'm looking forward to directing this operation with you. Such a fresh feeling should be quite good!"
"No, no, Parks, I'm not robbed of your command. Don't treat me as a lieutenant," Wales laughed. "When you act, you should treat me as a sergeant! That's it. Don't regret it!"
"It's settled!" Parks made a gesture of raising a gun to shoot, winked at Wales, and then turned around and left the company's headquarters. He had to prepare.
As soon as Parks took a few steps, he heard a voice from next to him: "Lieutenant, please wait!"
Parks stopped and saw that he could go down to the side. Three people flashed out there. They were all in a row of recruits, James? Miller, Rice? Hux and Dreck? Logan..
"What's the matter?" Parks frowned slightly.
The three of them were at a loss. Finally, after Miller's hand touched him, he finally summoned up his courage and said, "Lieutenant, it's like this. We want to participate in this operation. I hope we can get your permission!"
"You three?"
"Yes, Lieutenant!" The three of them answered together.
Parks looked at them angrily and said, "You have no experience. It's impossible to participate in this operation and stay in the platoon." With that, he continued to walk towards the platoon.
"Lieutenant," Miller was a little anxious to see Parks leaving. He hurriedly shouted, "Sir, please believe us, we have thought we are dead, so we will not be afraid of death. We can all fight bravely!"
"Who did you hear about this?" Parks suddenly stopped and gave them a strange look.
When Miller saw Parks stop, he couldn't help saying happily, "It's Broy, the veteran in the platoon, who said it!" I believe we can do this!"
Parks couldn't help raising a smile at the corners of his mouth, but he still stepped forward. Miller and others watched Parks go further and further. They couldn't help but be a little disappointed and looked at each other. Just about to leave. Suddenly, I heard Parks's voice.
"Pack up your equipment and gather in front of the platoon in two hours!"
The three of them were overjoyed and shouted at Pax's back, "Yes, sir!" Then he ran to the barracks.
Parks couldn't help shaking his head. Maybe it was Miller's words that moved him, and he agreed to them. He was walking, and then he heard a voice not far away: "Lieutenant, please wait a minute!"
Parks looked back and saw that it was Hubler. He was smiling towards Parks.
"Lieutenant, I heard that you have a task and are gathering people. So I think I can be with you!" Hubler looked forward to it.
