Chapter 238 Strive for

For the brothers of Company E, a new day has begun, but how many such days are waiting for them? None of them knows the answer. On the defensive line ahead, a ray of sunshine mapped the snow golden again.

Parks decided to lead the patrol in person tonight, and the combat effectiveness of one platoon was stronger than that of the other two platoons. After all, they participated in the assault operation of Arnaum with themselves. Although there were also people who participated in the patrol yesterday, I believe that they should be able to recover and bring them myself. The team will inspire their morale again.

Parks is not an optimistic estimate of the strength of the brothers, but from the Normandy landing. Although the veterans sometimes seem to be careless, they are still very serious and experienced in the task, and many people are very willing to follow Parks on the mission.

The Germans have countless weapons and ammunition support, and their cannons bombard the defense line of Company E without stopping every day. They have a lot of food, and they never lack tricks. The food unloaded from the truck every day makes E Company's brothers envious. They have thick military coats and thick blankets, which are enough for them to be wrapped in warmth in the cold winter. And the brothers of E Company had nothing but some thick military coats on the day of departure. They didn't even have time to bring their thick blankets. And even thick leather boots become hard and cold after walking on the snow for a long time.

"I really envy the Germans!" White nibbled at the snow ball sprinkled with lemon powder. He just saw through the telescope that the German army was holding a big pot and they were cooking hot food. And the German army seemed to deliberately let them see it. They swaggered out the hot food from the pot and smiled warmly.

But the brothers of Company E can't do anything about it, because the shells of the artillery regiment are almost used. A cannon only has three shells at most, and these cannons are also used to block the road from Foy to Bastogne.

"This is unfair!" Malaki also scolded the German defense line. He threw down the telescope and didn't want to see the proud face of the Germans again.

At this time, I heard Li Pu shouting in a loud voice: "The brothers in the row are ready. We are going on a patrol mission!" Gather at the company headquarters at 4 p.m., and everyone will participate!"

"Oh, why is it us again?" Luz reacted first, and he said to White beside him, "My God, Captain Parks is making a mistake. We only had a mission today. And he also lost Julian. What a hell!"

White shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but since I'm sent, I'll go. I don't care about anything else!"

"How's Hefron now?" Luz asked, "Yesterday I saw that he didn't look good. If you really want to go, Hefran can stay and ask Sergeant Martin and Captain Parks to talk about it!"

"Don't let me do these things!" White shook his head and walked out of the bunker. The sunshine outside was really attractive, and the darkness in the bunker made them feel that they were about to become part of the soil, sticky and cold!

How is Hevron now? Several people have asked this question, and they are all worried about Hefron's state. And now they are going to carry out a patrol mission, and they have not yet got rid of the shadow of the last patrol mission.

"Okay, I'll talk to Captain Parks!" Martin squeezed his lips. He looked at Luz and Lanny. "I know he's not in a good state, but don't expect to succeed. I don't want Captain Parks to have a bad impression on me." Martin stared at the two of them with some dissatisfaction. Obviously, it was Luz who came to persuade Sergeant Lanny, and Sergeant Lanny came to persuade Martin.

Lanny shrugged his shoulders helplessly, but Luz made a grimace at Lanny, and then learned Pax's tone and said, "Hevron's heart is broken? Don't worry, I'll bring back a lot of my brothers.

"Ghost Elf!" Martin laughed and cursed at Luz, and then packed up his equipment and walked to the company headquarters.

One row will carry out the task again, which surprised many people. After all, they have just carried out an unsuccessful patrol, and the other two platoons also have different emotions. Sbier decided to talk to Parks. He thought that at least three rows of brothers had a part in such a patrol mission. He was tired of staying in the bunker all day and urgently needed to go out to find trouble with the Germans.

"Your officer, please speak!" When Lieutenant Sbier saw Captain Parks, his expression was very serious. In fact, when he was in Company D, he rarely talked to the officer like this, but when he arrived at Company E, he had a strong desire to fight, even if he was eager to do something, so that the gap between himself and Parkers was not too big.

"Say it, Lieutenant Speer!" Parks nodded. He looked at the map and said this to Wales. Such a gesture made Bill a little uncomfortable. Obviously, Captain Parks did not pay attention to the opinions he was going to express.

"Three rows request for tonight's patrol mission." Lieutenant Spiel said, "I think it's better to rotate this kind of task, so that the brothers can get a better rest!"

Parks frowned. Although he had a very good impression of Sbil, it did not mean that he could allow him to talk to himself in such an attitude. Obviously, he had exceeded his responsibilities.

"The task has been confirmed, and there is no room for change. Is there anything else to add?" Parks's words were very blunt, which made Lieutenant Spiel unable to grasp the bottom line. He hasn't been with E for a long time, and he doesn't know much about Parks' temper. But from the usual point of view, he is very kind to his brothers and cares about his brothers, so such a situation makes Spiel a little unconvent. Although he is very murderous, he is not qualified to challenge him in front of Parks.

"I'm sorry, sir!" Lieutenant Spiel replied helplessly that he really couldn't give any reason for Parks to arrange his discharge task. So he finally left in frustration.

"Are you too strict with him?" Looking at Swilled Bill's unwillingness to leave, Wales couldn't help smiling at Parks and said, "I rarely see you like this to people. It's not like you!"

Parks shook his head and smiled at Wales: "He is too impulsive. He still seems to be in Company D. This can't be done. Have you ever seen him charge? I have seen that when we were in the Netherlands, we attacked two German companies on the embankment. He led the platoon of Company D and rushed desperately to the front of the team, causing several brothers to be hit. Harry, what we need to do now is not to pursue victory, but how to save the lives of our brothers, which is more important than anything else!"

"Yes, you have said it many times!" Wales raised his hands and smiled, "How many times have I heard this? Brothers' surnames are the most important. Wales smiled, then looked at Parks seriously and said, "Reth--"

"What?" Parks looked at Wales' serious expression and couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's their luck that brothers can meet a company commander like you!" Wales squeezed his lips and said, "Of course, if a deputy company commander like me meets a company commander like you, I'm afraid that the promotion will be much faster!"

Parks smiled and didn't answer. He just turned his eyes to the map. This is a temporary offensive and defensive map drawn by the regimental headquarters. On the map, its own defense line has been clearly marked, but the German defense line is very vague. This is the consequence of the lack of aerial reconnaissance. If the enemy is unclear, it is easy to fall into passivity.

"Which way do you think we can penetrate into the German defense line?" Parks frowned and stared at the map. Obviously, he couldn't think of a good idea for a while!

"It's hard for you to defeat me!" Wales walked to the map and looked at it. I also thought about it for a long time. There are more people in the German army than us, and their line of defense is denser than ours. It's not easy to penetrate, unless we forcibly open the gap, but we obviously don't have enough manpower to pose a threat to them.

"Yes!" Parks shook his head, and he kept denying his ideas one after another.

Whether you can think of a way to infiltrate or not, Parks must make a successful patrol. Otherwise, the future patrols will be terrible. Either they can't do anything, or like Spear, they may bury their brothers on the German defense line.

"Your officer!" At this time, someone outside the bunker was shouting, "Lion Captain Parks!"

"What's the matter?" Parks turned his head and saw that it was Sergeant Martin who couldn't help but be a little surprised. He said to Lieutenant Wales, "I'll go out and have a look. You're studying it!" With that, he climbed out of the bunker. Sergeant Martin was rubbing his hands and waiting outside. When he saw Captain Parks coming out, he quickly stood up and saluted him.

"A little rest!" Parks said, "What's the matter? "Sergeant!"

Sergeant Martin nodded and said, "Well, we all have to go on patrol duty in a row until today, but we have been worried about Hefron. He is not very emotionally stable, so--"

"Then he will stay!" Parks nodded, "That's it?"

"Yes!" Martin nodded.

Things went well, and Hefran was excluded from this mission. Martin was also relieved, because emotional instability is the biggest taboo of the mission, which will put himself or his brothers in danger.

The brothers of Company E stayed in the bunker and occasionally came out to walk on the snow, and they were careful when they came out to prevent the sudden German shelling. Their cannons had never been so dense. According to Gernery, the Germans The arsenal was moved to the front of the defense line of E Company.

The rows of brothers still gathered around Pastor Moloni to recite prayers. Then they all began to prepare their own equipment. Parks asked for bayonets, grenades, explosives and other items! Chris Denson and Gordon are in charge of the machine gun.

At one o'clock in the morning, the team began to gather in front of the company headquarters. Helliger led a row of people into two rows, waiting for Parks to say the mission and purpose!

At this time, a figure came to them and said to Parks, "Sir, I want to participate in this patrol!"

"Hevron?" Parks looked at him and said, "Are you sure? Do you feel good?"

"Yes, sir, I'm sure!" Hefran stood upright, "I'm sure I'm very good. I don't have any emotional problems. Everyone is hiding it from me. If I don't participate in this mission, it's unfair to me!"

Parks smiled and then nodded and said, "Then return to the team, Babe!"
