Chapter 215 Understanding

"I heard that he killed more than 20 German prisoners!"

"When he killed those German prisoners, he also smoked and ignited the Germans!"

"God, he killed them all, leaving only one person!"

"In D, as far as I know, he destroyed the last 105mm cannon alone and crossed the German machine gunfire like a madman. This was witnessed with my own eyes. At that time, my whole Parks company commander carried out the task of destroying the cannon, which he took the initiative to ask!"

"Is he alone?"

"That's right!"

"I don't care about this. I will believe what others say! But there is another thing, he killed a drunken sergeant who was drunk and unwilling to carry out the task! God, I say to you, don't be smart. You are talking about him here, and you are looking for your own death. I don't want to be such a good man."

When the notice of Lieutenant Speer as the platoon leader of the third platoon was sent to every soldier in the company, there was soon a lot of discussion about Lieutenant Spear. Obviously, he is now a controversial target in Company E. If he was just an officer of another company, it might be just a conversation between the E Company brothers after dinner, but now the situation is different.

"Do you believe these?" Lieutenant Spiel sat in the trench. He felt a little real. To be honest, in the battalion office, he felt a little depressed, and now he felt a little relieved.

The person he asked was Sergeant Tebert, who was sitting next to him not far from the trench opposite. Sergeant Tebert had been acting as the platoon leader in the third row for a period of time, and he always knew more about his brothers than Spiel. Spiel knew that if he wanted to quickly get along with his brothers and let them fully trust himself, so much contact with Tybert was definitely a good choice.

"What? Sir!" Tebert looked at Spiel in surprise. Obviously, he was a little confused by Spiel's sudden question, and he didn't react.

"You have nothing to say? Or do you have some questions to ask me?" Sbier smiled at him.

Tybert looked at him in surprise and said, "What do you want to ask you? Sir!"

Spear took out a cigarette from the bag, then nodded it, smiled at Tybert, "I don't want to ask me, is the story about me true or false?"

Tybert smiled and didn't say anything.

"You notice this kind of thing. Everyone says it was heard from the person at the scene, but when you ask that person, he will say that he heard it from another person at the scene. It's not surprising. I dare say that if you go back to ancient times, you will hear a group of Roman soldiers gathered together to discuss how Thesis looked down the heads of the Carthaginian prisoners of war. Spiel did not explain the problem directly. He made an example.

Tybert smiled and said, "They have been talking about it, probably because Tesis has never denied it!"

Spear suddenly took a cigarette, then looked at Tybert and said, "Maybe Tessis knows that people think that he is the most vicious and strongest character in the Roman Legion, which has its existence value."

Tybert also looked at Spiel seriously and said, "Sir, brothers don't care about rumors. They only care about whether they have a good leader. Under the leadership of this leader, let them live, whether it's victory or defeat!" Living is the most important thing.

Lieutenant Spiel couldn't help but be silent, and then watched Tybert shake his head and said seriously, "Sergeant, it's not enough to live alone. We are soldiers, so we have the right to pursue victory and the heart to pursue honor!"

Tubert heard this and didn't say anything. The two didn't say anything for a long time. Then Lieutenant Spiel stood up and said to Tybert, "I have to patrol. Some people know me, but some people are strange to me. I have to find a way to get to know them!" With that, he walked towards the side of the trench, where there were three rows of defense lines.

"Let's talk again when we have a chance. I'm glad to have you chatting with me for so long!" Lieutenant Spiel did not look back. As he walked, he spoke and waved his hand to Sergeant Tebert.

Tybert also got up, then clapped the dirt on his hands and shouted at Lieutenant Spiel's back, "Maybe you're right, sir. If it's for an officer!"

Spiel didn't stop. He may or may not have heard it. But he still left without any stay. But this sentence has a certain impact on him.

Tybert is telling the truth. As an officer, it is their duty to pursue victory and honor. But as a soldier, they just hope to not be shot by the enemy and live until the end of the war. This is their greatest hope. It is also their most luxurious hope. They don't even care about any external conditions, even in such a trench.

Lieutenant Spear is not disagreeing with Sergeant Tebert's words, but he has his own ideas. Now it's time for him to get familiar with the soldiers in this platoon. This platoon has always been led by Lieutenant Compton. To be honest, Compton trained with his brothers in Tacoya's barracks for two years and then experienced the battles of Normandy and the Netherlands together. He was friendly and airy, and even liked to bet with the soldiers. In the third row, he won the hearts of the people.

It's really difficult for Lieutenant Sbier to integrate! But everything needs an opportunity. If Sbier can give his brothers enough sense of security.

The night is the time when the U.S. and the Germans send reconnaissance teams to each other. If it is unfortunate, it may happen, then there may be deaths and injuries. So the soldiers on both sides are very cautious. Occasionally, the flares shine in the sky, illuminating a place.

Spill personally led a patrol team. His subordinates were Hooborough and John? As a veteran like Pressar from Tacoya's barracks, there is also a new recruit Cecil who participated in the Dutch military operation after Normandy? Pace, there are also new recruits such as Cooper and others who were added not long ago. This is a big fusion team.

Second-class soldier walked carefully in the front of the team. He bent down and slowly explored step by step. Hubler and others followed him, with a rifle on their shoulders, looking a little leisurely, looking around, as if they were tourists enjoying the scenery. Pace served as a warning task in the back, and didn't turn around and look back.

Lieutenant Spiel was beside them, with a submachine gun on his shoulder. He looked at Cooper with a smile and said, "Hey, your name is Cooper, right? Is it a recruit? What battles have you participated in?

Cooper's face was very tense. When he heard Lieutenant Spiel's question, he didn't dare to turn his head at all. He stared ahead and squeezed his lips. Then he replied, "Yes, Lieutenant, I haven't been here for a long time. Last time, I resisted the German attack on the position. I... fought just At the beginning, I was injured!" He looked a little embarrassed.

"Are you afraid?" Sbier continued to ask.

"A little - no, I was scared. I was so scared that I thought I was going to die." Although Cooper blushed a little, he didn't lie in front of the officer, "That's just a little scratched!"

Speer nodded and said, "Everyone is afraid. There is nothing shameful about it. Cooper.. But we always face this. Either you die or I live, treat the enemy with no mercy, no sympathy, no regret. This is what we should do. The Germans will treat us the same way.

"I like this sentence!" Hubler suddenly turned his head and smiled at Lieutenant Sbil, and then nodded, "Why do the damn Germans drag us into this endless war? Aren't we just here to beat them hard?

"I agree!" Sergeant Pleasant also nodded and smiled.

"Maybe!" Cooper nodded worriedly, but he didn't understand how to do it at all. He knew the story of Spiel. He had heard that he had killed his own people and killed more than 20 prisoners. This is a certain obstacle in his heart. If he is timid, will this guy shoot himself?

Cooper was not sure. He continued to move forward with some fear. Bill seemed to see something about himself and insisted on taking the lead, which was a difficult problem for him. For this, he had to be careful. However, one thing is that no matter how slow he is, Lieutenant Spiel has never urged himself. This allowed him to observe well before he could go further and avoid danger.

A group of people walked forward in the vast night. They say a few words occasionally, but their voices are not loud. And Cooper just wants this damn task to end early. Even if he hides in the trench all day, he is willing.

Suddenly, the grass in front of him made a "clam" sound. Cooper was shocked, subconsciously lay down, and then shouted, "German!" Then he panicked and pulled the bolt.

Watching Cooper get down, several people behind him quickly rolled on the net grass. Hubler rolled even more, and then half knelt on the ground, picked up his rifle and aimed at the grass in front of him. Sergeant Pleasanta lay down in place, and the rifle had already been raised. Obviously, their training is much better than these recruits. And he is quick and not panicked. Even Pace seemed to be in a hurry, squatting in place and pulling the bolt.

"Don't worry, relax!" Lieutenant Spiel looked at the shaking grass in front of him. He didn't move, and he was the only one who didn't lie down. He approached the place carefully with a gun. At this time, a wild rabbit suddenly came out of the grass. After squatting, he was quickly shocked by Spiel and fled away.

"Damn it, it's a rabbit!" Cooper scolded and was about to get up. The rest of the people were relieved, but when he saw that he went to the front, Spiel waved his hand at them and gestured - continue to squat down!

The heart that had just relaxed was hung up again. Cooper's breathing couldn't help but be a little nervous. Now there is a levee in front of them. Obviously, Lieutenant Spiel found something. He bent down cautiously, and then bowed forward and ran quickly. Then he lay on the edge of the levee and observed to the other side. Suddenly, Lieutenant Sbyr gestured to them and let them move forward. Hubler and Plessa jumped up and moved quickly in the direction of the levee, followed by them by Pace and Cooper. They climbed down beside Spil, and then saw that in the distance of the levee, a group of Germans were coming this way, and their conversation could be faintly heard.
