Chapter 197 Tactics

It went smoothly unexpectedly. Colonel Sink had no intention of pursuing it at all, and Parks' explanation was reasonable. The captured German tried to grab a gun and escape, but was killed by Li Gaote. Originally, this excuse was not that Parks intended to help Li Gaote pass. But before that, Parks and Li Gaote talked about it.

"I want an explanation!" Parks said truthfully to Lee Gott, "No matter how many prisoners you kill, if you have enough reasons to convince me, this matter is over."

Li Gao said, "They want to take the gun and escape. Matthews, Matthew and Jericho can testify about this."

Although Parks didn't believe Li Gaote's words, he still asked Matthews, Matthew and Jericho. Of course, all three of them were the same as Li Gaote said, and the Germans ran away with guns. There are three people testifying, and everything is fine.

No one mentions this matter anymore, but in the hearts of Matthews, Matthew and Jericho, Li Gaote is obviously a cruel character. When he gets along with such a person, he has to sleep with one eye open. This also made them unconsciously dodge when they saw Li Gaote.

A few days after this incident. Parks sat comfortably. His legs were crossed on his desk, and he leaned back comfortably on the chair, leaning against the wall, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, gently decorating it, and then placing it on the stool beside him.

"I can hardly imagine that you passed so smoothly. But Li Gaote can't indulge him like this. This will make his temper bad!" Wales looked at a battle map here, and he also casually said this to Parks with a cup of coffee.

"Coloon Sink doesn't care about these things. He only cares about who can go to the battlefield and who can make him proud!" Parks closed his eyes and refreshed his mind. "Harry, what are you going to do if the war is over?"

"The war is over?" Wales was suddenly stunned, then turned his head to look at Parks, who was distracted with his eyes closed, and smiled, "It's still far away. I didn't think about these things at all. Maybe marry Betty and have a few children. Let's run a small shop or something together, but I won't consider serving in the army anymore.

"What about you? "Sale!" Wales looked at Parks and said, "Which woman are you going to marry? Is the pub girl or the daughter of an arms dealer?

"It's not Tao!" Parks opened his eyes and smiled at him. "If I'm greedy, can I marry both of them?" I may continue to stay in the army. You know, I have no strengths. Only in the army, I may find a useful feeling. Maybe I will choose one of them to get married and do something I want to do.

"You are such a greedy guy!" Wales shook his head and smiled, "It's really a jealous guy!"

Parks nodded and said, "Yes, sometimes life is so luxurious. Just like we are still at war with the Germans, but we are already planning our own post-war life.

"For this, I have to respect you!" Wales raised his coffee cup to Parks and motioned slightly.

The two talked for a while, and the phone on the table rang. Wales picked up the receiver. Parks watched him keep nodding and making assurances.

"What's the matter? Battalion Department? Parks put his leg down.

Wales shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Yes, the German artillery has been added again. The whole regimental headquarters is holding a meeting of company officers. I think we have to be ready.

Parks and Wales drove to the regimental headquarters, where there were already officers waiting in a temporary Dutch room. Captain Winters and Nixon have already arrived. They raised their hands to signal to Parks.

"Hey, Dick," Wales and Parks squeezed over and motioned to the two of them, "Hey, Nick!"

"Are the Germans going to attack us?" Wales sat down beside Winters and Nixon and took a look at Nixon.

"This is an obvious problem. Colonel Sink knew that this time was extraordinary. Nixon said to the two, "The German 363rd Division has been transferred here, and they will replace the original troops. This division is full of equipment and the elite of the SS. Obviously, they have bigger conspiracies and intentions.

"Maybe they can't tolerate the Americans and the British on this island!" Parks nodded and smiled, "They are going to attack the whole defense line. This is obvious."

"Very correct!" Winters nodded.

That's what happened. Lieutenant Colonel Stryer emphasized the situation of the 363rd German Division throughout the meeting. It seems that the Allied intelligence work of the Germans has done a good job. It includes the division's staff, personnel, commanders and weapons and equipment.

"The most unpredictable thing for us now is the German attack time." After Steyr finished speaking, Colonel Sink personally explained to the officers, "Most of their main forces are now gathered on the left wing of our regiment, which is the main line of defense of the first and second battalions. Obviously, their attack on our two battalions is definitely not a limited local attack counterattack. They want to drive us all out of the island, which is their real purpose. Now, guys, we are facing a major test.

"We have no other troop support except material and ammunition support. Our manpower is tight. The Allies, led by General Brad and General Patton, are attacking east. They need more manpower than us. So everything here depends on ourselves. If we lose this island, we will lose a support point for the German army, and we will face a much greater predicament in the future than now. Lieutenant Colonel Stryer continued to explain to the officers.

"The Germans will never tell us when they will launch the attack. They will never fight against us as openly as knights. Don't expect them to do so. That's for sure!" Colonel Sink's words eased a somewhat tense atmosphere, and the officers laughed slightly.

"Our patrol mission will be larger, and the scope will be wider, and even go deep into the actual control area of the German army." Stryll continued, "So when the large-scale abnormal movement of the German army was found, it was the beginning of the German attack."

"This is what we must do now, and it is very important! We are passive in fighting, and we must cheer up!" Stryll said, "The officers of the battalions and companies must personally go to their own defense lines to supervise the soldiers. Don't think that the regimental headquarters doesn't know that the soldiers are in a bad mood. They are slacking off!"

"Don't wait for the Germans to hit. They are still rolling dice and getting drunk." Stryll said here, and then nodded to Colonel Sink.

"Okay, let's disband!" Colonel Sink waved his hand. He frowned, and the German arrangement annoyed him a little. But he couldn't draw more people to guard against the German attack.

Winters and others stood up and were ready to leave.

"Let's just sit here and wait for it?" Wales shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile.

"So you have to be vigilant enough!" Nixon smiled at him, "Don't let the soldiers in the trench become gamblers and alcoholics. If you find the German army for a moment, you will save a lot of people!"

"Rees, what do you think?" Winters suddenly said to Parks.

Parks took a look at Winters and smiled, "What? Do you mean the German army or the arrangement of Colonel Sink?

"You know!" Winters smiled at him, as if he wanted to see through his mind.

"Do you have a better way?" Parks said to Winters, "Our biggest problem is the lack of manpower, and the Germans have a division, which is almost two to three times as many as ours. This can never be defended by bravery alone. What's more, we are still passively waiting for the German attack.

Winters nodded and said, "I really can't think of a good way!"

"If the Germans can tell us the time of their attack, then we will be much better!" Parks smiled and said, "At least we will be well prepared."

"Do you have a way?" Winters couldn't help but brighten his eyes. He looked at Parks with this smile on his face.

"I don't know if it's possible!" Parks thought for a thought and then shook his head slowly.

Winters suddenly raised a lot of hope, while Nixon and Wales stared at Parks, obviously letting the Germans take the initiative to tell them the battle time, which was simply a fantasy. But they knew that Parks had created one miracle after another, which made them have a trace of expectation for him.

"Okay, don't sell your puns!" Wales is in a hurry.

"The Germans must be wondering now, are we waiting for their attack in fear?" Parks smiled at Winters and said, "If you are their commander!"

"Of course!" Winters nodded, "Now the war is under your control, which is a very obvious psychology."

"They certainly didn't expect that the Americans would launch an attack on them in advance. Because for them, they have an advantage, and we have no reason to do so!" Parks continued.

"Well, you tell me the plan at a time!" Nixon was also aroused by Parks' curiosity.

"If we contact the British artillery before the Germans launch an attack, hit the fire to attack the area where the main force of the Germans are gathered, and at the same time arrange troops to raid them, do they think that we will attack them?" Parks paused for a moment and coughed dryly. He knew that the plan also had a certain adventure surname.

"The Germans will face two choices, either to think that the plan has changed and launch an attack in advance, or to fight against us. So we also face two choices. If the Germans are just a defensive battle, then we can only test the attack and quickly retreat to our own defense line. The other is that the Germans are suddenly hit and launch an attack in advance, and we will be well prepared!" Parks continued.

"Actually, it's very simple. The Germans don't want us to know the time of their attack, so we let them tell us the time through their unexpected attack.

Winters nodded for a moment: "It's a little risky, but it's worth a try. It's better than doing nothing and waiting!"
