Chapter 230 Difference

More than 100 people withstood the attack of more than 1,000 Germans, which is a miracle in itself. What's more miraculous is that the German army not only did not win in the attack, but lost a large number of manpower when retreating. The loss of the battle exceeded more than 200, and the soldiers of Company E relied on favorable bunkers to have minimal casualties. Five people were killed in the battle and more than 30 people were injured, which was still caused by the pursuit of the enemy. And the victims included Miller, who was with White.

Miller died on his way to Baston Rear Hospital. At that time, Hux and Hevran were beside him. The three of them have always been the best in the E company. Miller shouted to die in pain under the gaze of the two people. Hux still remembers Miller's life-hungry eyes and his physical struggle when he tried to take a breath.

Huch refused to accept this fact. He held Miller's hand tightly and muttered to himself, "We will be in the hospital soon. The doctor will save you. They are highly technical. Don't worry, we have to go to Paris for fun!" Haha, you made a fool of yourself in Paris that time. You can't find a woman. It's all because of that guy, isn't it? He is just a fool!"

"He's dead!" Hefran said to Hux, who was talking to himself, "He's dead, Hux. You have to know this. It's useless for you to say this now!"

Hux suddenly stopped. He stared at Hefron with his eyes, with a confused look: "Is he dead? Is he dead? God! How could it be like this, how could it be like this..." With that, he was sobbing and buried his face deeply in his hands.

Hefran patted him on the shoulder, then took his head over, let him lean on his shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, don't worry, Hux, we're still here, and we still have many brothers."

Yes, everyone in Company E is a brother, which is best reflected in the battle. After a war, the brothers of Company E were a little tired, but before they could clean up the battlefield, they were ordered by Captain Parks to return to the bunker to prevent another German bombardment. Parks watched the brothers return, and then he held a rifle and followed the brothers. This is his slowly developed habit, especially after becoming a company commander. Only when you charge forward and retreat after can you make your brothers trust you.

Wales followed him, and the two of them distanced themselves from each other. The brothers had no energy and mood to joke except for occasional jokes, even if they won this big battle. Everyone walked silently, only hearing the "creak" and "creak" sound of leather boots stepping on the snow.

Suddenly, Parks squatted down, clenched his hand into a fist, raised it up, and motioned everyone to stop moving forward. He heard a little strange movement. When returning to defense, the most taboo thing was to meet the German sniper, just like dealing with the Germans, which would bring unpredictable losses to his brothers.

The voice came from under a big tree, where there were three Germans lying, two lying on the snow, and the other sat with their backs against the big tree. The snowflakes covered all three of them, as if they were three snowmen. But now the German soldier sitting under the tree suddenly moved, as if to struggle to get up.

"Hands up!" Parks said to him with a rifle, to the German army in standard German, and then signaled to Wales, "Keep moving forward with your brothers!" With that, he stared at the German army again and watched him slowly raise his hand.

"Stand up slowly!" Parks continued to order, "Put your hand on your head, slowly, yes, yes!" Parks walked into the German army and motioned the soldiers around him to search for his body. The German army had no weapons on his body, and his eyes looked dull and there was no life at all. But Parks knew that the German army had lost its fighting spirit.

"What's the name?" Parks carried the rifle on his shoulder and aimed at the German army.

The German army looked at him blankly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Vi Jinke!"

Parks nodded and said to the soldiers around him, "Take it to the prisoner-of-war camp!" He didn't plan to say anything more to the prisoner of war. This German no longer has any fighting spirit. He is not interested in such people. He continued to walk to his defense line with a rifle on his back.

"S sir, can I take my friend's body with me?" Suddenly, he heard the German shouting behind his back, "S sir, please, I want to take him with me!"

Parks couldn't help but stop, and Wales stopped in front of him. Obviously, he also heard this sentence. This request is very strange. At least in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of Company E, it was the first time that German prisoners of war had made such a request. Several people stopped. They looked at the German prisoner of war, Vykinko, and then at their company commander Parks.

"Why?" Parks asked, but in fact, he shouldn't have asked. But he still asked, and he wanted to hear the German say the reason he already knew. Collecting corpses for his brother is a tradition in E Company, so what will happen in the German army? Everyone who stopped to watch wanted to know the answer.

"I promised him not to expose the corpse in the wilderness, and he also promised me not to let my body be swallowed by wild dogs!" Vickenko looked at Parks with a sincere look in his eyes, which was completely different from his dull eyes just now.

"Please, sir!" Vikinko looked at Parks. His lips turned blue, and his body trembled because it had been covered by the snow for a long time, but his eyes gradually became firm. He made his request to Parks again, "Sir, if you can't take his body away, then please kill me!" Let me be with him."

Parks glanced at the corners of his mouth. He looked at Wales. The Welsh lieutenant nodded to him. Obviously, he was also very in favor of letting the German army collect the body for his brother. Everyone's eyes are on Parks.

"Take him away!" Parks finally opened his mouth. He squeezed his lips and said, "Take your brother and carry it yourself. I hope you can speed up. If your people shell again, we can't help you!" Parks then said to the soldier who guarded him, "Look at him carefully. If the Germans start shelling, you can shoot him and return to your bunker. Do you know?"

"I see! Sir!" The soldier nodded and lifted the rifle slightly, signaling Vikinko to take his companions away. Vikinko looked at Jerry Vickers, who had been covered by snowflakes, and carefully wiped the snowflakes on his face with his hands. His movements were very light, as if he were afraid of waking him up. In fact, he lied just now. He didn't promise Jerry Vickers anything, and the two of them didn't have any words to collect each other's bodies, but he felt that only with him could he feel a little calm. As if he were a living person, he showed contempt or admiration to him, so that he could feel that he was still alive.

Vyginko dragged Jerivix's body with difficulty and walked on the snow. He almost did all his strength to not fall in the end, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Along the way, many soldiers of Company E attracted their eyes. They looked at the strange behavior of the German army and did not say anything, but no one helped him.

Parks ignored the German. Although he knew the mood of the German soldier, he still decided not to leave him alone. He just greeted the brothers of Company E to return to his bunker as soon as possible to prevent the next round of German shelling. This is the point. If not, maybe the next time he lies in the snow. On the ground, they are their own brothers.

Just as Parks returned to the bunker with his own people, Colonel Sink had received a battle briefing from Captain Winters. His expression was very strange. Although he knew that Parks would guard the defense line, he did not expect such a beautiful counterattack.

"Look, the battle briefing of Company E is coming very fast!" Colonel Sink handed the briefing to Colonel Stry around him. There was a strange smile on his face. A company guarded the defense line. They were facing a regiment's fierce attack, and the Germans poured cannonballs on their defense line almost regardless of shells. "Is this a miracle?"

"Miracle?" Colonel Stryll looked at the briefing and shook his head with a smile, "Is there still less miracle that Parks has given us? It's just that he used to use the raid method to achieve the greatest success at a very small cost. I didn't expect that the defensive war would be the same, which was what amazed me. Maybe this is the miracle of Parks!"

"Parks Miracle?" Colonel Sink smiled and said, "Maybe it can also be called the Parks bunker miracle. The role of the bunker was reported in the briefing. In the actual test, this kind of bunker is undoubtedly a key factor for success!" After that, he stood in the suggested house of the temporary headquarters and looked out, "What else will he give us?"

Stryll suddenly smiled. He said to Colonel Sink, "From the results of this battle, it should be time for you to get a nerve-wrenked. He has won a medal of Congress. Now you should think about what kind of medal you should apply for for him, because in this way, what major results will he have? Then, you can get a congressional medal of honor again. But have you ever seen someone who has been awarded the Medal of Honor twice in a row? Stryll smiled narrowly. But he said to Colonel Sink, "After the Germans hit a wall at E Company, will they break through in other places?"

Will the German army break through to others? The German command has been quarreled into a regiment. The 2nd Panzer Division of the German SS suffered unprecedentedly heavy losses. Even when fighting with the 1st Battalion of the 506th Regiment of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division and the 10th U.S. Armored Division, although they fought very hard, they had a victory or defeat for each other. In the end, they defeated the U.S. military. Now they have hardly figured it out. The strength of the U.S. military has suffered an unprecedented defeat, which has caused huge differences in their opinions.

I'm trying my best to recommend a good book "Big Words" that won't disappoint my brothers!
