Chapter 247 Air Strike on

"What advice do you have for Captain Parks to go to the battalion headquarters?" When Colonel Sink and Stryre were on their way, they suddenly asked. Obviously, not only Captain Winters was thinking about it, but Colonel Sink was also thinking about it. They all began to consider the promotion of Captain Parks after a series of major victories.

Stryll meditated for a moment, then looked at Colonel Sink and said seriously, "If you let him be the chief of staff or intelligence staff of a battalion, then I don't think it's suitable for him. But if you are directly promoted to the battalion commander, you have to consider whether there is a vacancy suitable for him now, and whether this promotion is too fast. It belongs to a step-level promotion.

Colonel Sink nodded and smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect that we are now very troubled by the promotion of an officer. Captain Parks did a good job. Promotion is only a matter of time. If possible, I'd rather he lead the troops on the front line than me working on some documents in the office, which would be a waste of his talent! Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry about this matter. Maybe I can't make the decision about his use. He has entered General Taylor's sight. Let's talk about it then!"

"One more thing, Captain Winters said that the German army will launch a large-scale operation tonight and may bomb Bastogne with planes. Let's evacuate Baston Ambulance Station and some residents. What is your order? Colonel!" Colonel Stryll looked at Colonel Sink, "I asked him why, and he said it was an analysis. He and Captain Parks agreed on the distraction of the German army. But he didn't make any evidence to prove it.

Sink couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Any speculation will cause the current extremely low morale to become more unstable. Tell Dick to ignore any guesses and talk to the soldiers more, which will be a better way to motivate morale!"

"Okay, I'll tell him!" Stryll nodded.

Coloe Sink's jeep left the defense line. He was going to attend the Christmas dinner of the division headquarters. Tonight, he could enjoy a turkey banquet, as well as a neat tablecloth on the table with a small Christmas tree, knives, forks and plates. And the soldiers on the defense line of Company E could only eat cold dry food and white beans.

After Colonel Sink left, Captain Winters also returned to the battalion, but not long after, Parks found Captain Winters again. He looked at Winters with a sad face and said, "Dick, who I said about that... "Is it about the dredging of Baston's ambulance station personnel?" Winters looked at Parks and smiled, "I know. I have arranged a reserve company to do it. Don't worry, Colonel Sink did not agree as we guessed, but -- but I had to violate his order to order the ambulance station to be transferred to the basement of the locals. I think if I can spend the night safely. That would be a very good choice!"

Parks knew that Winters had done his best, and he was very moved that Winters could do it according to his own arrangement against Colonel Sink's orders. And it is obvious that it will cause unnecessary trouble to Captain Winters!

"Thank you!" Parks smiled at her.

"Nothing, stay with your brothers. We have to stay with them all the time today. I'm going to spend this Christmas Eve with my brothers later." Winters patted Parks' arm, "But I've been praying that what you guessed won't happen!"

Captain Parks finally went to Bastogne in person. He drove there alone. He saw Bastogne's ambulance station, and wounded soldiers continued to salute him along the way, and he didn't bother to salute the wounded one by one. He knew that it was the soldiers who respected him, and he also paid tribute to these soldiers. There are many factors for the wounded soldiers to salute him, but there is only one reason in Bastogne. Parks' classic infiltration battle has spread throughout the 101st Airborne Division, which is a relief for these soldiers who were injured under the raging German artillery fire, and all of them have paid all their respect to the commander of the operation, Captain Parks.

When he was at the ambulance station, he jumped out of the car. Some soldiers were helping to transfer the wounded, while the nurses were more caring for those who were seriously injured. They did all this patiently and carefully without the slightest look of boredom.

"Captain, is that your order?" At this time, a male doctor saw Captain Parks and rushed to him and roared, "Look at what you have done. We have so many wounded. It's difficult to move them, and you see, many seriously injured people are not suitable to move. Some of them have been operated on, and their wounds will burst again, and you will kill them.

"I'm sorry, doctor, no matter who gave the order, you have to carry it out!" Parks doesn't want to distinguish with doctors. He respects them. They are lovely people and cherish their lives. But they can't feel the painstaking work of Parks.

"Damn the order, you are joking about life!" The doctor saw that he was not speculative when talking to Parks, and he was no longer pestering anything, because someone next to him was calling him, "Doctor, this wounded man is dead. Hurry up, his wound has collapsed, and we have to operate on him again immediately."

The doctor stared at Parks fiercely and ran quickly to the wounded man.

"Are you - Captain Parks?" At this time, the voice of a woman behind Parks came, a little hesitant, but it also showed her determination to talk to Parks.

Parks turned his head and saw a female nurse in a blue turban and a thick white skirt behind her. Her face was still a little flushed, as if she was very uncomfortable with this rash greeting.

"Yes, I am!" Parks knew that she was probably Renee, but he didn't explain. He just looked at her with doubt and said, "What's the matter? Miss Nurse!"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Ruini seemed to suddenly realize that she quickly wiped it on the group with her hand. She stretched out and smiled at Parks and said, "I asked Ruini, a local, who volunteered to help. I know you, Captain!"

Parks gently shook Renee's rough hand and smiled, "Have you heard of me? I thought we had known each other for a long time. Looking at your expression, I was guessing like this!"

Ruini blushed, and then gently raised the corners of her mouth and bent up slightly: "The officer who talked about the most about the wounded here is you, and I also knew you from Eugene's mouth and knew what he depicted you, so I wanted to come and say hello!"

"Thank you!" Parks nodded. He tightened his belt with his rifle and said, "But I'm going back to the defense line now. I'm just here to see how your transfer work is going!"

Reni nodded and said, "Don't care about the doctor's words. He's just thinking about the wounded!"

"Of course not!" Parks nodded at her and then walked towards his jeep.

"Captain--" Renee stopped him from behind her back and muttered to herself, "Thank you very much for the material you sent. This is very important to us, so I also want to express my gratitude to you."

Parks turned his head and smiled, "Thank you, Eugene. He has done enough!" With that, Parks jumped into his jeep without looking back and started. The jeep made a bend in front of Renee and quickly headed for the defense line. Behind the jeep, Renee's figure is getting smaller and smaller... Night has come. There was no festive atmosphere on the defense line, and Captain Winters ordered the prohibition of fire and sound according to Parks's suggestion. The brothers could only stay in the bunker, quietly look at the cold snow outside, and then hold their bodies and tremble. The dinner they enjoyed was also cold and tossed in their stomachs.

"Will the Germans come?" Toy's helmet made a slight trembling sound with his shaking. "How do I feel that they are also going to celebrate Christmas!"

Gerry also nodded and said, "Of course, they celebrate Christmas, but after Christmas, they still have to release a few bombs as fireworks, which makes Christmas more meaningful."

"Dad, I don't even have a cup of hot coffee! This Christmas is really unlucky!" Toy couldn't help scolding.

"I'm worse than you, man!" Gerneliser said, "God knows, later today, when I urinated, the thing began to hurt. It was almost killing me. Think about it, in such a Christmas, in addition to trembling, I have to endure the pain of little JJ!"

"In this case, I feel much better, Mr. Gonorrhea!" Toy laughed ahehe.

"Bemp be careful of your own thing, which was hit by a German bomb!" Gernery was unwilling to show weakness and counterattacked.

Suddenly, there was a faint roar from the sky, which was the sound of an airplane. At this time, Toy's first reaction was to shout, "The German plane is coming. Everyone is hiding!"

"Hidden--" At this time, a louder voice came, and then many voices were constantly transmitted on the defense line, greeting the brothers to hide in the bunker.

The plane dispatched at night can only be German. They lost their air s control during the day and had to participate in the bombing at night. But in this way, they can't grasp the target of the bombing well. They can only rely on the pilot's basic judgment and experience.

With a sharp roar, the bomb began to pour down on the U.S. military's defense line and over Bastogne in the rear. The huge explosion made the earthquake tremble, and it was far more destructive than the bombardment of cannons.

"Doctor, doctor, someone is injured!" There was a constant hoarse shouting on the defense line, accompanied by the screams of the wounded. Medical Officer Luo kept running on the snow. Although the bomb might send himself to heaven at any time, he did not hesitate or pause at all.

"Jeep, we need a jeep to transport the wounded!" Just as medical officer Luo shouted, several jeeps were also quickly mobilized to the defense line, and they shuttled through the Baston and the defense line with gunfire.

"Spina, it's up to you here. I'll go to Baststone to transport the wounded!" Medical Officer Luo roared loudly at Spina beside him.

"Go ahead, leave it to me here! "Man!" Spina is dealing with a guy with an injured thigh, who is Hubler. He gritted his teeth and kept cursing.

"Damn it, they actually blew me up!" Hubler looked at Spina and hugged himself, "How long will it take for my leg to recover!"

Spina patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're so lucky, Hubler. The shrapnel is just worn over. You're fine. If it's fast, it only takes a few days!" With that, he rushed to another direction for help.

"Thank God!" Hubler turned over and rolled into the bunker beside him. Obviously, bad luck was far away from him this time. And Medical Officer Luo's jeep is speeding on the way to Baston Town...
