Chapter 194 Speer's Thoughts
Lieutenant Spiel heard about this when he was in the battalion headquarters. At that time, the phone call of the battalion headquarters was answered by Captain Winters. The caller was Lieutenant Wales. He told Winters about Company E's action tonight on the phone. Lieutenant Bill heard a general idea: Lieutenant Parks led the brothers of Company E together. He crossed the river embankment at night and attacked an artillery company of the Germans and an infantry company. And no one died on my side, only three minor injuries.
This undoubtedly caused some waves in Speer's heart. He served as the platoon leader of Company D, and he was not brave in the battle. He charged into the battle, regardless of his personal safety, and he was always able to achieve some results. But now compared with Parks, his things are nothing at all. Obviously, he didn't want to stick to the rules, and he also wanted to use tactics to disintegrate the German position. But he felt that he was not as lucky as Parks, because his company commander always warned himself that he couldn't do this, he couldn't do that. He had to obey orders and didn't think about those things that were in the limelight. But Parks can always get Wintes' understanding and even help.
Why can't I be like Parks? After asking himself this question, Spiel came to the conclusion that he did not have a company commander like Winters. Now Winters has been promoted to the battalion. So who else is the company commander like Winters now? Obviously, Parks himself is that kind of person. He must be that kind of company commander.
Maybe I can think of a way, otherwise, if I mix in the D company like this, I may be able to get the medal, but can that medal be compared with the Cross of Merit and the Congressional Medal of Honor? Obviously not. The highest medal he has now received is the only silver star medal. Maybe this is my highest medal, at least in D Company. This is absolutely unacceptable to Sbier, who pursues honor. War is a way for him to pursue the highest honor.
Looking at some soldiers in the company complaining about the war, scratching, full of fear and even being a deserter, he disdained it. He was eager to fight. He thought that this was the best way for men to pursue honor. What's more, it can kill the Germans who hate the most in the ordinary. Perhaps there is another possibility that he suddenly raised a little hope, what if he could go to Company E?
He was inspired by his own idea, but he was soon a little discouraged. Because it is a little difficult and very difficult. It is impossible to raise this by yourself, unless the battalion or regimental department is temporarily transferred out of some need.
While Spiel was thinking a lot, Winters had finished the call. He smiled and shouted to Lieutenant Nixon in the battalion, "Nick, let's go, Pax and the others are back!"
Obviously, Nixon and Winters had known about Parks' action for a long time, and before the action, Parks did quietly reveal this meaning.
There was no one else in the battalion. Battalion commander Chase went to the regimental headquarters and several staff officers. Spil came to the battalion to send the information about the weapons and ammunition that needed to be replenished during this period of time.
"Captain Winters!" When Winters was about to leave, a voice suddenly appeared behind him and called him in a hurry.
Wentes stopped, turned around and looked at Lieutenant Speer and smiled, "What's the matter? Lieutenant Spiel!"
Sbier nodded and smiled, "I heard some of your call just now."
"So--" Winters shrugged his shoulders at him with a puzzled expression.
"If it doesn't cause you difficulties, I also want to go to the E company. You know, I just want to feel the atmosphere there. We are a little dull. Stay in the damn trench every day, and then go on those patrols that are hunted by the Germans at any time. Sbier said, spread out his hand and said, "So - I want to feel it."
"Why not?" Nixon replaced Winters' answer, and then waved his head at Spiel and said, "Let's go, let's go together!"
The fanatical atmosphere of Company E stimulated Spiel a lot. Thinking about my company, it is difficult to find anything ** outside the indifference, sadness and despair in the trench. The brothers of the company were bombarded by the Germans and couldn't find the north.
"What a four shots!" Spiel said with a smile.
"This is E-Lian! "Sbier!" Nixon seemed to be deliberately showing off. The three of them soon found Parks' room, and then several of them drank a glass of wine together.
Sbier doesn't care what Parks and Winters say. He just cares about when he can make his own tactical battle like E Company. Let yourself fight freely in the full competition with the Germans.
Parks looked at Swill intentionally or unintentionally. He looked at his eyes, and obviously he also knew the real meaning of Sylvell's coming with Winters this time.
He knew that Spil was not only a cold appearance. In his heart, he was actually a person who longed for ** to fight, a person who longed for honor. Even if this person had some minor problems, such as liking to collect money, this could not hide the essence of him as a good officer. In Parks's heart, he has a relatively important position in the E company in his previous life.
"Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Speer!" Parks shook hands with him politely.
"Me too!" Sbier nodded and then smiled, "I hope my arrival won't bother you!"
"How come?" Parks smiled and said, "Actually, I'm very impressed with you. In the battle of Brecutt Manor, I admire your performance very much, so I can easily remember you!"
Sbyl smiled and said, "Compared with your achievements, that--"
"No, no, Lieutenant Sbier, I think you are a very good officer, eager to fight, with your own unique tactical understanding, which I know very well!" Parks quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "In fact, I have been looking forward to fighting with your company or working with you one day. It must be a very wonderful moment!"
"There will definitely be a chance. I'm looking forward to it!" Sbier nodded, which was what he was thinking. Then he, Wentes and Nixson said goodbye to Parks.
"What do you think of Sbier?" Parks and Wales sent them out of the door and watched them disappear on the path. Parks turned his head and said to Wales.
"What do you want to say? Or what do you want to point out of him? Wales suddenly looked at Parks and smiled, "He is a good officer. Other than that, I don't know much. But it can be seen that he is eager to fight. I like people like this!"
"I like him too, hehe!" Parks nodded and then walked back to the company with Wales. He knew that Spiel would definitely not stop by here today.
"It would be better if he could get along well with his brothers!" Parks muttered in a low voice.
"What?" Wales glanced at him and laughed, "Rees, I know what you're thinking. Don't even think about it. That's not what you think about. Although we did a good job tonight, we still have some risks. If we fail, Colonel Sink will definitely not feel comfortable. Even so, he will definitely have an idea in his heart. Don't make trouble at this time!"
"I know!" Parks Road.
"What do you know?"
"I know that I shouldn't cause trouble for Colonel Sink at this time." Parks smiled, then went to the table and poured a glass of wine. Looking at him, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "But Dick can!"
"God!" Wales shook his head and said, "I'm so sorry for Dick."
"Me too!" Parks smiled and said, "But you know, I will never take the initiative. But as you know, after Compton was injured, there has been a shortage of platoon leader in the third row. I really haven't figured out who should replace him.
"What if Compton comes back?"
"I've been thinking about whether the company needs someone to share some burden for you. Harry, Compton will be a good helper for you, don't you think?
"Maybe! Now that you have thought about it, I can say anything else, but I think we should be cautious about this matter. Wales still insists on its own opinion.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Parks nodded.
The three of Winters returned to the battalion headquarters. Bill stayed in the camp for a while, and then was ready to leave. He wandered at the door for a long time, and then looked up to Winters as if he were saying something, "Captain!"
Winters looked at him and nodded, "What's the matter? Lieutenant Spiel! "" I envy the brothers of E Company very much. SBIER said, "I MEAN THEIR WAY OF FIGHTING. I THINK IT'S VERY CLOSE TO SOME OF MY IDEAS. MY God, I SUDDENLY HAVE AN IDEA THAT IF I CAN COMMAND ONE OF THE platoonS IN THE E Company, CAN I BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING LIKE PAX?"
Then he laughed as if he was self-deprecating, "Of course, that's just my imagination. That's impossible. I can't leave the brothers of Company D. I'm still working as a platoon leader!"
"I know!" Winters just nodded slightly.
"So!" Lieutenant Swill shrugged his shoulders, spread out his hands and smiled, "I have to go there. I've been out for so long. Maybe it's time for our patrol time!" With that, he opened the door, did not hesitate, and left.
Winters watched Speer leave and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.
"What?" Nixon looked at Winters and said with a smile, "Actually, I have guessed what he was thinking for a long time. I believe you also know. Why don't you tell him that you can help him figure it out? Reis's company is still short of a platoon leader. Since Buck's injury, he has been replaced by Sergeant Tebert. Now that we have officers, it is absolutely impossible to miss this position for a long time. Instead of sending a coward by the head of the team at that time, it's better to let Shibier do it, which is reassuring!"
Winters shook his head and said, "Nick, this is not what a staff officer should do."
"But you can suggest!" Nixon grinned.
"You can also suggest it!" Winters couldn't help shaking his head, "That's time!"
