Chapter 158 Exciting News

"Sink, there is good news. I have been contacted with the first airborne division." Lieutenant Colonel Stryer walked into the regimental headquarters and smiled excitedly at Colonel Sink and said, "I just came back from the divisional headquarters. General Taylor confirmed the news himself!"

Sink was sitting in a chair tasting delicious coffee, and then he slowly put the coffee cup on the table, took a sip of cigar and nodded, "This is really good news. How are they doing now? I hope those British are doing well!" Sink was not excited at all. He was looking down at a document.

"You don't care at all now?" Lieutenant Colonel Stryker looked at Colonel Sink and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Colonel Sink seemed to remember something. He suddenly put down the document and looked up at Lieutenant Colonel Stry: "Oh, God, is there any news about Lieutenant Parks? Are they still alive? Is the row of people still alive?

Stryll couldn't help laughing and said, "I thought you didn't care about it at all. Yes, that's the good news I said. The British? Who cares about them? Yes, Parks, they are still alive. And intact!"

"Very good!" Sink stood up and nodded and smiled, "What's going on? Stryll, you can be more detailed. I want to know what's going on with the group of young men now. What have they done these days?

Stryor shook his head and smiled, "You may be surprised. In fact, Parks gave us a new look again. Do you know why the German army suddenly contracted the defense line and then withdrew when it had the upper hand?

"Tay the point!" Colonel Sink smiled at Lieutenant Colonel Stryr with a cigar in his hand, "Don't try to sell it."

"The German oil depot and ammunition depot were blown up. They had to shrink the defense line and then retreat. Stryll laughed and said, "And it's not the British or the Poles who did this, but the American, Lieutenant Parks in the row of E Company. Oh, God, it's unbelievable to think about it!"

"Beautiful!" Colonel Sink couldn't help whistling, and obviously he couldn't help it.

"Well, I'll just put it in a nutshell. He has done more than that!" Lieutenant Colonel Stryer then was interested in how Parks counterattacked the bridge after sneaking on the ammunition depot and oil depot, how to attract the Germans to attack each other and cause heavy casualties, how to join forces with the Polish paratroopers to attack the south of the Anum Bridge, and how to protect the bridge at the moment when the Germans blew up the bridge. The bridge said it briefly, and although it was also heard by General Taylor, although his retelling was not full of emotion, it was obvious that it also attracted Colonel Sink.

"Is this what General Taylor told you himself?" Colonel Sink suddenly looked at Stryr.

"Yes, Sink, there is no problem. It's not hearsay. After the British First Airborne Division contacted the headquarters, General Urkert himself said that General Taylor was at the scene at that time. All this has already happened. Now Parks is at the Anam Bridge and General Urkert and John Foster. The general and General Sushaboski stayed together. There is no doubt about this!" Colonel Stryll vowed to Sink, "Maybe you can also ask General Taylor!"

Sink hurried over, patted his arm and smiled, "I'm sorry, Steyr, I'm not doubting your words. That's not what I mean, but your news makes me... I can't believe it! God, it's a miracle!"

Stryor nodded to Colonel Sink and said, "In fact, when I heard General Taylor's words, I had the same reaction as you, but I didn't directly question his words, because he was a general, my immediate superior, and I was just your subordinate! In the command system, if you want to question, the superior usually complains to the subordinates, and if you want to complain, the subordinates complains to the superiors!"

"Can I take this as a complaint?" Sink couldn't help smiling. Stry's words suddenly made him feel relaxed and relaxed a lot.

"If you think so!" Stryll opened his hands and smiled, then sat down and said to Sink, "Do you have any smoke? I mean cigars!"

"I thought you didn't smoke!" Sink took out a cigar from the metal box and handed it to him. Then he lit a smile and said, "It seems that this makes you very excited!"

"Of course, Sink, aren't you the same?" Stryll took a sip of his cigarette, then unskilledly highlighted his eyes and smiled, "But I still have to congratulate you. Now you don't have to worry about the choice of the company commander of Company E!"

Sink nodded and then laughed, "Should I think about it again? The speed of Lieutenant Parks' promotion is much faster than the two of us. I remember he was just a sergeant when he started in Normandy. Now he is actually a lieutenant, and it may be a captain, and then he will become a company commander!"

"It's not a problem, Sink! The speed of his promotion is the same as the miracle he created. Stryll took a sip of the cigarette, but it was obvious that the taste was not as good as expected. He frowned, "General Taylor will definitely not have a problem. What's more, it's a good thing to make the British with their eyes above their heads look down this time. I believe this means a lot to General Taylor!"

"It's the same for us!" Sink poured two glasses of wine, then came over and handed Steyr a glass, laughing.

"Respect the arrogant Englishman!" Stryll raised his glass and smiled.

"Respect the great 506 regiment!" Sink laughed, and the two people's cups collided, making a crisp sound.

Colonel Sink immediately conveyed the news to the battalions of the 506th Regiment, and then the battalions quickly informed the subordinate companies of the news, and Lieutenant Colonel Chase, the temporary battalion commander of the second battalion, told the news to the E Company, which was still guarded in time.

"God, this is really a miracle. Les, they are still alive, but they are still alive. In the company headquarters, Nixon held a glass. He smiled happily and said to Winters, "I told you, he is always surprised!"

"Magic boy? Isn't it?" Hellig smiled, and it was obvious that every recruit in the row, including Hellig, who temporarily led the platoon, very happy to hear the news.

"I have to say that Les is the best officer I have ever seen!" Winters smiled at Nixon and said, "Nick, why don't you give us a drink for me? We can celebrate today!"

Nixon couldn't help shrugged his shoulders: "I thought you didn't drink."

"I didn't say I wanted to drink, but Heilige and Piccock might have a drink! This is good news, isn't it?" Winters smiled at Nixon, and today's news was really exciting. Parks did what was difficult for ordinary people to do, and he might bring back all the brothers he took out completely. This time he fulfilled his promise.

Soon the brothers of Company E knew the news. They knew that Parks was not dead, and they had done something earth-shaking. This makes many recruits envious and all the veterans feel sorry.

"I can't believe it, this... It's so crazy, Sergeant Muck. If it hadn't been for Company Chief Winters talking about it in person, I would have thought it was a magic story!" Sergei sat in the riot pit on the outskirts of Yuden and said in surprise to Mourke, who was sitting next to him.

"There's nothing strange about this." Mook laughed and said, "Everyone in Company E knows that Lieutenant Parks can do it, so look at me, are you surprised? You will get used to it in the future.

"I hope I will have the opportunity to participate in Lieutenant Parks's actions in the future. God, Miller, Hefran and Hux are really lucky. They were able to participate in the operation with Lieutenant Parks. Sergei seemed to be a little self-sentful.

"There's a chance, man, as long as you don't get into the paratrooper pit in the future. There will always be a chance to do it once!" Mook nodded to him, and then muttered in a depressed tone, "In fact, I also want to wait for such an opportunity so that I can brag when I return to my hometown."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" A voice came from behind them, "I heard that the Germans have retreated, and this place has become a safe place. It seems that we will either move forward or go back home."

"Tybert!" Muck stood up and said to Tybert, who came from behind, "Hey, we were talking about Lieutenant Parks just now. Let's teach this recruit a lesson and tell him that you followed Lieutenant Parks on a rescue mission."

Tybert couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then sat in the scattered soldier pit. The three of them huddled together and nodded and said, "That was a very interesting experience. To be honest, it was very exciting. Of course, we won a great victory in the end!"

"Oh, please, can you be more detailed, sergeant!" Shergant was obviously not satisfied with such an explanation.

"Okay, okay!" Tybert said to Sergey, "Let your fledgling boy gain more knowledge today!" Tybert then began to describe the rescue mission vividly. In fact, he has described such a situation several times. Even when picking up girls in Paris, it is his best bragging capital.

But Parks, far away from the Arnam Bridge, is actually far from the scenery they said. According to the instructions received by Admiral Urkert, he must stick to the bridge for four days. Obviously, this task put him in an embarrassing situation.

The British and Dutch are setting up a sniper position against the Germans near the bridge. They only had less than a day, and everyone was frantically digging trenches, defensive positions and scattered pits.

And Parks and his brothers dug the puddle, and then lay comfortably in the puddle, watching the group of soldiers as busy as ants.

"Look, it's not fair why they can lie down so comfortably!" A Polish soldier complained in a low voice to his partner.

"Hey, they saved us. Don't do this, okay?" The speaker is another Polish soldier around him. He is Sandra. In fact, he now admires Parks and others.

"Okay, I won't talk about it. They are uncles, now!" The soldier shook his head. Obviously, he was still a little indignant, and this time he defended. Obviously, this platoon of Americans is also excluded. That is to say, if the Germans attack, it will be the British and the Poles who are desperate.

"Head, we really don't do anything?" Webster, who was lying across Gonery, suddenly said to Parks. He has now called Parks the "head" very well, which is a matter of course. He even has such an idea!

"If you feel sorry, you can go over and help them dig those damn earthen. I won't stop you!" Parks smiled and said, "We have our business. Remember, although we have only one platoon, we represent the U.S. military!"
