Chapter 232 Discussion on the Medal

"Don't worry, Captain, I'll shut these guys up!" Granry nodded to Parks and said, "I'm going now!" With that, he ran quickly in the direction of the song.

The flares glowed brightly in the air from time to time, and Parks kept walking between the bunkers in the snow with the light. Although the brothers were ready and dressed in thick clothes, the temperature in Bastogne was so low that they still kept shaking their bodies. Especially at night, the temperature will drop even lower.

Every time the flare rises, it will be accompanied by the sound of German machine guns, but they can't hit anything. Even during the day, they can't hit the soldiers of Company E hiding in the bunker. Parks still patrolled carefully step by step, but he soon felt something was wrong. There was a life fire. Near the bunker not far ahead, someone made a fire under the big tree, and he could faintly see the fire! He walked over quickly, and there were already four guys squatting around.

"God, how long are we going to stay here?" It was Toy who spoke. He sucked his nose hard. "I don't want to spend Christmas in such a place. Think about it, Christmas turkey or something. Let's see what else is here? Only stinky beans, cans, dry food, and snow that can be seen with open eyes.

"You can't escape! "Joe!" It was Malachi who spoke. He smiled and said to Toy, "The Germans have surrounded us, and we can't go there. Fortunately, we don't have to go to God's place for Christmas!" With that, he turned his head to Pankara beside him and said, "Do you have any smoke? I want a cigarette. In such a warm time, I can't do without cigarettes!"

"There are a few more, which are gifts from Luz. Hey hey, he is such a good man!" Pankara took out a few cigarettes from her arms and gave one to everyone. Mukse trembled, but he couldn't catch the cigarette in his trembling hands. He said helplessly, "TMD, I'm shaking so much that I feel like I'm dancing. Pankara, light the cigarette for me!"

Pankara lit two cigarettes in her mouth, took a sip, and then handed one to Muck: "Happy time!"

Muck took the cigarette in his mouth and responded in a trembling voice: "Happy time!" When smoking, it is the happy time of the E brothers. Staying in this place, all the things you bring have been eaten, and the cigarettes have been smoked out for a long time. If anyone still has smoke, it will definitely be a happy enjoyment.

Four people swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and all of them made a long sigh when they smoked, as if it were an extremely comfortable enjoyment. When the last cigarette butt can burn to the finger, then stretch out the finger and eject the cigarette.

"Have you heard of Company Chief Parks?" Suddenly, Malachi mysteriously said to the three guys, "In the morning, I went to the battalion headquarters. Do you know what I heard?"

"Is it about Company Commander Parks?" Pankara came over and said, "Tay it, what's going on?"

Malachi nodded and said, "When I was in the battalion, I was supposed to accompany Li Pu to pick up some available items, but I heard the conversation between Captain Winters and Captain Nixon at the headquarters." With that, Marage learned from Winters and said, "Nick, Colonel Sink has talked to me. He wants to apply for the Medal of Honor for Reis!"

This is what Colonel Sink said to him when Winters was in the regimental headquarters. Company E repelled the large-scale attack of the German army and made very good achievements. Such a record is undoubtedly a great defeat for the U.S. military that suffered a major setback in the early stage of the Battle of Arden. Exciting places can greatly and quickly boost morale.

"I want to apply for the Medal of Honor for him again!" Colonel Sink clearly told Captain Winters that he felt that Captain Winters had the right to know the decision. "He set a benchmark for us in the Battle of Ardenn. I have reported the war report to the division. I believe that General McAuliff will make a clear decision. Do you have any comments? In fact, this is just a briefing. Colonel Sink doesn't care about anyone's opinion. He has always been arbitrary in doing things.

Winters was shocked and then subconsciously nodded and said, "I have no problem, sir. I think this is a good thing. Do I need to talk to my brothers? I think this time it makes the brothers feel that this is their pride. After all, they all have a deep respect for Parks, and this time they will improve their morale!"

Colonel Sink shook his head and said, "Let's wait. I don't know if it will be passed. You know, Captain Parks has won a medal of honor. Although the conditions are enough this time, do you know who has won the medal of honor twice? Thomas?"

"Thomas?" Winters nodded. It was the only person who won the Medal of Honor twice in the American Civil War. "There is already a precedent for this. Parks is fully qualified to get it again!"

"Of course, I know he is qualified, but now the war is not over. I really don't know what kind of medal we should apply for him if he achieves greater achievements in the future!" Colonel Sink smiled and shook his head distressedly. Then he looked at Winters and said, "There is another very important thing. I must tell you that the Germans will continue to besiege us, and we will still stay in isolation and withstand the attack of the Germans. Thank you very much, Captain Parks, who resisted most of the German attacks. This reduces the defensive pressure of other battalions and companies. But you have to tell him that I can't send reinforcements to him to keep it. Until we are relieved."

"I will, sir!" Winters saluted and then returned to the battalion headquarters, and after he returned to the battalion headquarters, he told Nixon about this, which obviously surprised Nixon, but Parks was able to get the highest honor again. As his friends, the two of them were of course very happy.

"I'm so jealous!" Nixon smiled and joked with Winters, "Are you going to tell him the news in person?"

Winters shook his head and said, "No, I don't have this plan for the time being. After the battle is over, you know, it may be a little difficult to pass this medal. We are not the time to discuss this now. We have to focus all our energy on dealing with the German attack. Guarding the defense line is the first thing we do.

The conversation between Captain Winters and Captain Nixon was heard by Marage. When he packed his things in the battalion, he deliberately looked very slow, because he heard Captain Parks, who was the company commander directly related to them.

"You mean Colonel Sink is going to apply for the Medal of Honor for the captain again?" Pankara stared at Malachi in surprise, as if she had seen Hitler in Washington. "God, the captain has won a medal of honor. If you do it again... It's a little crazy. Do you know what my greatest ideal is? Silver Star Medal, I only need a silver star medal, which is enough for me to brag for many years when I return to my hometown!"

"So you're still a corporal now, man, so Parks is the captain! This is the difference between you!" Muck smiled at Pankara, then turned his head and said, "Hey, Joe, what do you think?"

Toise looked at the three people with his arms in his arms and said with a smile, "I don't have any opinion. The boss deserves such an honor. Damn it, he should have won the Medal of Honor from Normandy, but that time it was the Cross. When he was in the Netherlands, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. You know, the whole The form of war has almost been changed by us in less than a platoon. If it hadn't been for the British idiots, we might have enjoyed the winner's milk tea in Berlin, instead of enduring such ghostly weather and German shelling here. In my opinion, it's nothing to get two surnames at a time.

"Don't change the topic, Joe!" Malaqi pulled his arm, "I'm talking about this time. I think we annihilarated the Germans this time, involving the main offensive direction of the Germans, and making the pressure on other companies much less. Just because of this captain, he should also receive the Medal of Honor! God, Colonel Sink is still quite a fair guy. I always thought he was a rigid, narrow-minded and rude old man! Just like my father, I always want to seize the opportunity to play tricks on people!"

Toy was about to answer when he suddenly heard footsteps in the dark, and then a voice came: "I swear, I smell the flame!" With that, a figure came out of the woods, with a rifle on his shoulder, and came towards them.

"Malak!" Parks walked in and said to Malachi, "It's not a good idea to make a fire!"

"Captain!" Malaqi stood up and said, "We just want to warm up. Just a few minutes. I really can't stand it! We are in the valley in the forest, boss!"

"The bottom of the valley in the forest?" Parks squatted down, stretched out his hand and put it on the fire, "Where do the fairy and the dwarf live?"

At this time, Winters suddenly came over from the woods with Lieutenant Compton. They also saw the fire and couldn't help frowning and saying, "Are you crazy?"

"We are at the bottom of the valley in the forest, and it is not easy for the German army to see us!" Muck stood up and tried to explain something. Suddenly, I heard the roaring of shells in the air.

"Falpine!" Parks shouted, then kicked on the fire, kicked the wood with fire to the snow, and the people around him quickly lay down on the snow.

"Boom!" With a sound, the first shell exploded not far from them, and the dirt and branches fell all over them one after another. Then came the second and third shells, closer to them. Toy saw that there were still pieces of wood burning. He wanted to run over and trampled them out, but at this time, the shell exploded, not far away from him.

"Oh, my God!" Toy shouted sadly, "God, no, I was hit!"

Captain Parks rushed up, quickly dragged Toy away from the place, and then shouted behind the woods: "Doctor, doctor, come on, someone is injured here!"

"Malach, put out the fire!" Captain Winters shouted at Malachi, "The others will enter the bunker immediately. Damn it, hurry up, the Germans will shell it!" As they spoke, they heard a few more roars, and the shells exploded in the woods one after another. This time they deviated from Parks.

"This is Lieutenant Compton. The headquarters of Company E of the 2nd Battalion needs a Class A jeep. Repeat..." Compton has started to contact the medical ambulance at the town's ambulance station with his walk-on.

"Boom!" After the dust dissipated, Medical Officer Luo came through and ran to them quickly. After his death, Pax's hand pressed on Toy's wound. He was still on his arm, bloody. I don't know how serious it was!

"I'll deal with it!" Medical Officer Luo said, taking Parks's hand neatly.
