Chapter 250 Bonds

What really made Captain Winters really nerve-wracking was the other companies. When they suffered a major blow, they lacked a company commander like a spiritual pillar like Captain Parks!

"I'm really worried now!" Winters looked at Parks leaving and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Worried about Les?" Nixon looked at him and said with a smile, "Don't worry about him. He can stand it!"

Winters smiled at Nixon and said, "It seems that you don't understand what I'm saying at all. Well, I can tell you that I'm not worried about Les. He doesn't need me to worry at all. He does better than me. I'm worried about other companies. If someone collapses, we have to find a way to remedy it. This is a heavy blow to us!"

is indeed a heavy blow. Many people have collapsed. When Captain Winters went to patrol, a soldier of the F company's defense line ran out of the bunker alone. He dug a hole in the ground with his hand. When Captain Winters saw him, his hands were already covered with blood. He was still saying, "I have to dig a big hole. I'm going to dig a bomb shelter!" God, he wants to dig out an air-raid shelter with his hands.

"It's okay, brother, the battle is over!" When Winters picked up the soldier, he said to him, and then he called the non-commissioned officer of Company F, asked him to take the guy to the rear in a jeep, and then arranged for him to be treated at the first aid station. Winters could only do this. He knew that this guy was broken. Mental breakdown has an infectious surname. He will infect one brother after another, which may eventually lead to the consequences of a disaster. For the soldier, the battle is over, but more brothers still have to stick to the defensive line.

E Company is the most reassuring company for Captain Winters. When he patrols, many brothers on the defense line of Company E were working, and they repaired the collapsed bunker. And some of them sat together and chatted, and there was no depression on their faces, although Donat's death made many brothers sad, especially the veterans who came out of the Tacoya barracks. But the veterans learned to hide the emotions on their faces in order not to infect the newlyweds who were already frightened.

Gernelly sat next to a big pit blown out by a bomb, surrounded by several people, Marak, White and Toy. Obviously, they talked about Donat.

"Who in this company still expects those recruits?" Gnery seemed to have a grudge. Yes, they now know that Donat was not damned. If it hadn't been for the recruit Cabast, he wouldn't have had to die at all. Gernelly had a grudge against the cause of the death, and he directly blamed the recruits for the resentment.

"There are much fewer veterans who have been fighting since Normandy than before, but the recruits are lacked. Damn it, how long will we endure them? Look at Donut, he even took his own life!" Gernelly was venting a little riperverted. If you don't lose a veteran, the veterans will be sad for a while, because there are many feelings between them that can't be compared with the recruits. Even the veterans who didn't have much contact before, now the feelings between them are precious.

"God, we still have to carry out missions, patrol, and fight with the Germans with this group of recruits with no combat experience. To be honest, I'd rather they have never been added!" Malaqi then added a sentence to Gnauri. His face is thinner than before, and his face is full of whiskers. It makes people feel that this person's profession was a tramp! If he is not wearing a military coat and holding a rifle!

"I agree with you! Mr. Gonorrhea!" White raised his hand, and he was not interested in the recruits. He thought that it was the recruits who dragged down the E Company and had to lose the veterans, and no one could replace the feelings of the veterans.

"Hey, guys, what are you talking about?" Sergeant Li Pu came over there. He had already seen these people aside, as if they were venting some resentment, especially Gernelly's expression was very excited.

"Li Pu? Why don't you take care of those good babies? Toy watched Li Pu coming over, sat by the edge of the earth, and couldn't help jokingly shouting, "They are newcomers who don't know anything. Don't make any wrong again!"

"I know what you're talking about!" Li Pu sat down and rubbed his hands and said, "Guys, aren't you worried that the recruits will mess up everything? I'm also worried. I'm more worried than you, Joe. Believe me, that's what I think!"

Toy and several people nodded to Li Pu. They believed that Li Pu was telling the truth. Li Pu was one of the most respectable non-commissioned officers in the company. Like Chief Tebert, he had a lot of attention to the things in the company and the situation of his brothers. Many of these brothers saw what Li Pu said. They I can still listen to it.

"Listen, guys!" Li Pu held his rifle and looked at the four brothers around him and said, "The veterans we came from Normandy are the pillars of the E Company. I don't care what the recruits think of us or how they behave in the battle, but we have to face the reality that we have been fighting since Normandy. There are fewer and fewer hungry brothers. We need new recruits.

"I know, Winters must know, Lipp, maybe General Taylor knows better that they need new recruits to fill this damn long line of defense, so the recruits are coming!" Malachi interrupted Li Pu's words and couldn't help laughing.

White, Gernary and Toy couldn't help laughing twice, and then stopped again. They heard Lipp continue, "I know, they may be here to gather people, but none of us can deny them. Don't worry about them. We do our part well, and they will do what we do, so that everything will be fine!"

"Well, we know!" Huai nodded.

"Very good!" Li Pu stood up, and then he said to these people, "Guys, don't forget that we are non-commissioned officers. We have the privilege in front of the recruits to ask them to do what we think is right!" With that, he patted Gernelly on the shoulder, turned around and left.

"Yes, we still have privileges!" Toy smiled and said to Gernelly, "Well, use your privilege to let those new recruits know what a warrior is!"

"Li Pu, you have a good idea!" Malaki smiled at Li Pu's back and shouted loudly.

Li Pu, who was not far away, couldn't help smiling when he heard Maranqi's words. He knew that there were many veterans who thought like them, and it was the best to impress them. Let them urge the recruits. He walked on the defensive line, comforting veterans like Granari and the recruits who looked confused all the way.

Even a recruit like Sdensen, who is very adaptable, showed fear rising from the bottom of his heart when facing such a fierce bombing for the first time, let alone a person like Winnie. After Donat's death, the veterans seemed to have a grudge against the recruits, which made the recruits more at a loss. Now, in addition to repairing the bunker and strengthening the protection around the bunker, they just get together and then watch the veterans judge them from afar.

"Hi, Sdenson, how's it going?" Li Pu came from Gernery's side and saw Stenson, Winnie and other recruits sitting together, staring around with a dull expression.

"What?" Obviously, Sdenson didn't react, "Sergeant, what are you talking about? I'm sorry!"

"There's no need to be sorry, guys!" Li Pu sat down and said, "I just want to come and sit with you."

Winnie nodded, and he said sadly, "Yes, sergeant, we repaired the bunker and rested here. Now the Germans have not launched an attack. We have to guard the defense line."

Li Pu nodded and said, "I know. Are you still sad about Cabast's death? I know he's your friend, Sdenson. That's right. Don't worry, things will pass. There is life and death on the battlefield!"

"Yes, sir!" Stenson was a little gloomy. He once thought that his performance was enough to integrate himself into the veteran team, but when there was a real problem, he was still rejected by the veterans.

"Don't worry about the problems of the veterans!" Li Pu said the reason directly, "I know what you are worried about besides sadness, but I can tell you that you don't worry about anything. The veterans have their ideas, and so do you. But no matter what, they and you can only survive if they trust each other in battle.

Several people nodded repeatedly. Li Pu's words made them feel a little better. To be honest, the death of Kabaste made the recruits sad, but the last thing they could understand was that the veterans rejected them.

"Do your own things well, and the veterans do the same." Li Pu then nodded and said, "So no matter what you think or the veterans think, doing your job well is the best way to integrate into this company! But to do your part well, you have to overcome something, such as fear, such as accumulating experience!"

Li Pu said that he didn't know whether this would work or not, but the recruits all showed a respectful look. What they said to Li Pu was skeptical, which was different from the veterans. What the veterans said to Li Pu was listened to with the feelings between the brothers, which was much more effective than those recruits with the mentality of looking at their superiors.

Captain Parks has always appreciated Li Pu, and his performance is even more impressive on the issue of new and old integration. Even his activity between recruits and veterans is stronger than that of Sergeant Corporal Tybert, and it seems that the effect is quite good.

In fact, from Momion, the veterans and the recruits have a kind of estrangement. When this estrangement is in Momeon, the conflict between Grenari and Sdensen can be seen, and it has not been well solved before leaving for Baststone. Thus, in this bombing, the death of Donat and Cabast triggered various emotions between the old and the new this time.

Li Pu is undoubtedly the bond between his brothers. He maintained the emotional connection between every brother of the E Company, including the home of new veterans, including the relationship between non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers and so on. And he did drive the brothers of Company E, making them tightly condensed into a rope, instead of like a plate of loose sand. This can be seen from the next morning, when Glenari took the initiative to say hello to Stensen.

Captain Parks decided to submit a field appointment to Captain Winters. He hoped that Li Pu's ending would continue as before. He would be a good officer and a good leader!
