Chapter 209 Transfer and Promotion

Shibier participated in this operation, and he was able to see his name on the notice sent by the division headquarters to each company unit the next day. The division department widely publicized the operation. Although his name was only mentioned, it was enough to make him feel a little proud.

The notice is written truthfully: Parks' order had to be and indeed a bayonet charge. Because of this brave order, the two companies of the SS suffered a heavy blow and could not find any opportunity to launch the attack scheduled at this time and were forced to retreat. In this operation, the officers and soldiers of the second row of Company E and the first row of Company D showed extraordinary courage. They carried out the order firmly and boldly, which was the result of good training. At the end of the notice, the names of the officers and soldiers who stood out in the battle are listed. And Lieutenant Spiel is one of those officers. Suddenly, it appeared after Lieutenant Parks's name.

Two days later, Winters was officially appointed, and he is now the battalion commander of the second battalion. This is a brand new job for Winters, and it is very challenging. Although this makes it impossible for him to charge directly on the battlefield, it also shows that he will have more space to arrange and cooperate with the tactical battalion companies.

Nixon continued to serve as the battalion chief of staff of the second battalion, which allowed him to continue to cooperate with Winters. In fact, Colonel Sink intended to transfer Nixon to the Taoist Regiment as a staff officer, but Nixon gently refused. After all, this is not a formal appointment talk, and Nixon still has his own right to choose.

"You rejected the opportunity to work in the regimental department?" While wearing a beard in front of the mirror, Winters said to Nixon, "I think you must regret it now. Look at how you are restless now!"

Nixon looked at Winters and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Dick, it seems that you have been promoted, but you have forgotten some of the battalion affairs you once undertaken. I'm so busy now, but you're still shaving leisurely.

"Is shaving a leisurely thing?" Winters hung up for the last time, and then kept wiping the foam around his face with a towel. He smiled, "It seems that you have really regretted it!"

"It has nothing to do with regret, Dick. You have to consider adding another staff member to the battalion headquarters. According to the setting of the position, we really need someone to make up for the vacancy caused by your promotion!" Nixon looked at Winters's smile and said helplessly, "I think you must have begun to think about this matter!"

Winters was stunned. He really didn't consider such a problem. He didn't ask about many things after he was promoted to battalion commander. Now that Nixon mentioned it, he suddenly realized, nodded and smiled, "Maybe - I'm thinking about it. Nick, do you have any good suggestions? The commander of Sink once wanted to recommend Parks as the staff officer of the battalion. But I think it's a violent treasure.

Nixon nodded and smiled, "You're right about this!"

"I mean, what else do you recommend to me?" Winters looked at him, hoping that Nixon could give him an answer.

Nixon looked at Winters and shook his head and smiled, "You want to be a pure battalion commander. How about Lieutenant Spiel? He is a good officer. Maybe the battalion needs him!"

"Lieutenant Sbier? What the hell are you doing? "Nick!" Winters gave Nixon a strange look and then smiled, "Tell me what your real plan is!" Obviously, Winters knows that Speer can lead troops to war, and he will be a good grassroots officer, but at least he can't see how strong his administrative ability is now.

Nixon laughed and said, "I'm just letting him jump out of the D company. He is an officer who can lead troops to war. Now that Company E is short of officers, why don't we let Spiel go to the battalion headquarters first and then to Company E?

"Oh, Nick, this is not in compliance!" Winters frowned slightly.

Nixon shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "This is not against any rules. Speer jumped out and then went to Company E from the battalion. It can't be a rule for anyone. Do you still want Company E to send a person like Picak from the regimental as an officer? That will kill a lot of brothers. I'm lucky this time, with the command of Parks, so what kind of luck will it be next time?

Winters didn't make a sound. Obviously, in his eyes, Picak was indeed not a good officer. He was a dogma, and he was also very stiff to his brothers. Basically, the whole platoon didn't like him, which would cause some damage in the battle.

"I'll think about it!" Winters nodded. Obviously, he was a little moved.

Winters didn't think about it for a long time. That afternoon, he went to Company D with Nixon. In Company D, he and Nixon met Lieutenant Speer alone.

"What do you think of your current position?" Winters came straight to the point.

"What?" Shibier obviously didn't react, "What do you mean? Sir!"

"Is the work in D Company not suitable for you?" Winters coughed and then said, "I mean, if you are interested in accepting a new challenge, you will get a new appointment!"

Looking at Lieutenant Spiel, who was increasingly confused, Nixon shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Winters. He walked over and patted Swill on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Well, the battalion needs a staff officer, which requires an officer with rich combat experience. I think if you are interested, you will get this position!" This is the meaning of Camp Winters!"

Winters smiled and nodded to Spiel.

Sbier fought fiercely in his heart. This is an opportunity to jump out of this company that can't find any challenges, but if he goes to the battalion as a staff officer, he will stay away from the battlefield, which is not what he wants.

Winters and Nixon did not urge. He knew it was a difficult decision. Not every officer is interested in serving as a staff officer in the headquarters, especially those grassroots officers who like to prove themselves on the battlefield.

Be quiet for a while. Spiel finally made a decision. This is an opportunity. He has planned it in his mind. If there is a chance, he will try to go to Company E. At that time, it will not be as difficult as it is now.

"I agree, sir!" Sbier nodded to Winters, very firm.

Winters smiled and then said, "This is the right decision, Spear. I believe the battalion headquarters will be a good place. Take hold of it! Go and pack up your own things, and then go to the camp to report!" Winters said and patted Sbier on the arm, and then said to Nixon, "Let's go to Company E. I think this must be good news for Parks!"

Wentes and Nixon came out of the D company, but Spiel heard their last words. Is this good news for Parks? He suddenly smiled and was convinced that Winters did this just to get out of Company D and then go to Company E as an officer. If so, my decision just now is undoubtedly very correct.

Of course, Spiel misunderstood Winters' last sentence. Winters just wanted to go to Company E with Nixon to present his silver bar to Parks.

The jeep raised the dust on the path, and Nixon smiled and said to the driving Winters, "You finally did the right thing. Of course, this is only for E Company.

"Nick, is this correct? On the contrary, I don't feel anything. As you said, this may be a good thing for the E company, but it is not for the second battalion. You forgot that I'm the battalion commander now!"

"Yes, you are already the battalion commander!" Nixon smiled, "But why can't you always change it?"

"What can't be changed?" Winters looked at Nixon strangely.

"Special feelings for E Company. There is no doubt that you have more feelings for E Company than other companies. Why don't you change it? I want to know that you are the battalion commander now!" Nixon's tone was obviously joking.

Winters was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Yes, why don't you change?" Then he looked at Nixon and smiled, "Can you change it? "Nick!"

"I can't!"

"Then I can't either!" Winters said that he stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and the car turned a corner quickly and rushed to the headquarters of Company E.

Wentes and Nixon's feelings for Company E are just like many people who can't change the old days after being promoted from junior officers to senior commanders. This is a common problem, not only in Winters and Nixon, but the whole U.S. military is the same.

Along the way, they met soldiers on guard around the company, including Muck, Sergei and others. They saluted Winters and Nixon one after another. Obviously, this is one of the reasons why Winters can't let go of E Company. He has a reputation in E Company and has a harmonious and close relationship with his brothers.

When he opened the door of the company, Winters saw Lieutenant Wales facing them side by side, holding a wine bottle in his hand. He looked out of the window, and outside was the main line of defense of Company E. Parks is looking through a book very seriously, and he even keeps making marks on it with a pen.

"Wow!" Nixon whistled, "It seems that our captain is very hard-worked. What are you looking at? Attention: Armored Forces? The Attack of the Infantry? Or Hitler's "My Struggle"?

Parks raised his head and saw Winters and Nixon. He couldn't help but stand up and walk towards them with a smile. He shook his hand and said, "I have read those books a long time ago. Of course, some of them are contraband!" I don't think you will report me!"

"It depends!" Nixon smiled.

At this time, Wales also turned around and laughed at them and said, "Hey, Nick, Dick, it's good to see you!" Then he saluted Winters and said, "This is my official meeting with the battalion commander!"

Winters patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, Harry. I'm not here to listen to your flattery. With that, he waved to Parks and said, "Come on, this is yours. Head Sink feels that you have made enough contributions. If he doesn't give you a promotion, the brothers of Company E will riot. Congratulations, Captain Parks!"

Parks was stunned and heard Wales whistle and said, "Captain? That's great. We can have a few more drinks!"
