Chapter 273 Recovery Period

The village covered with heavy snow was blown out of big pits by shells, like small black spots on the vast snow. Captain Winters has entered the village of Kaulub with the reserve company. Thus clearing the last way for the occupation of the town of Noville. But this battle E Company paid a heavy price. But the Germans did not all retreat. Some of them entered the woods and then joined the German army in the town of Novill behind, trying to further consolidate the defense line of Novill.

Fifteen people, including Lieutenant Wales, Carber and Hudson, were injured, and three people, Campbell, Menz and Kenmwich, were killed. The second battalion's attack was finally successful with the support of tanks. But this battle greatly damaged the vitality of Company E. Winters had to use them as a reserve company, and then continue to use Company F as the vanguard of the second battalion, and Company D as a cover. The company commander of Company E was temporarily replaced by Lieutenant Sbier. That is to say, before Captain Parks or Lieutenant Wales recover from his injury, Lieutenant Spiel will command Company E, and Sergeant Tebert will again serve as the temporary commander of the third platoon, and Sergeant Lipp to replace Sergeant Türbert.

There is no joy on everyone's face. They were scattered in the village of Kaulub, sitting in groups and outside in a shabby house that had been bombarded by cannons. Some even picked up a place to sit on the snow. They were too tired and didn't want to choose a place. They just wanted to sit down and rest.

"We are now in the control of Lieutenant Spiel. Li Pu, be careful. Don't drink, or you won't live long!" Grenari smiled at Sergeant Lipu. He was no longer in the mood to joke, but when he thought that Lieutenant Spiel had replaced the command of Company E, he couldn't help saying a few words.

The brothers of E Company don't trust Lieutenant Sbier very much. After all, he has many versions of legends in E Company, which makes his image not very good, and he can't even catch up with Lieutenant Shanghai Lige and Lieutenant Welfare. However, Captain Winters still gave the highest priority to Lieutenant Spiel. After all, the current E Company, if there is any battle, a fierce and forward company commander can maximize the morale of the soldiers and lead them to charge forward.

"Not only Li Pu should be careful, but we should also be careful ourselves. It is said that the people who followed Shibier's charge had a miserable ending. To be honest, if I'm charging, I don't want to follow him!" White looked at Granari and shook his head.

In fact, it's not only that he has this idea, but also for others. Li Gaote and Hevran also quarreled about this, because Heflang said that he was very interested in Lieutenant Spiel, so he was ridiculed by Li Gaote. The two inevitably had a dispute, and Li Gaote even threatened to beat him up. Hefran.

Sergeant Li Pu didn't accept this kind of joke. He looked at Gernelly beside him and said, "This is not funny, Gernelly, we can't have no fighting spirit because Captain Parks is not here. It's like a group of sardines at a loss, and then wait to be caught and sent to the table to become the beauty of the German population. Eat! I don't think so."

Gerry glanced at Li Pu, then turned his head to Toy and said, "What else can I say? In the first battle away from Captain Parks, we were beaten. The Welsh lieutenant was injured, we hung up three people, and more than a dozen people were sent to the hospital in the rear. Li Pu, I have never missed a superior officer so much. As a soldier, I think I should complain more about my superiors, but now I want Captain Parks to come back, but how long will it take?

Yes, how long will it take? No one answered this question, but many people know it. It's coming soon. Captain Parks' injury is not serious. According to optimistic estimates, Captain Parks' recovery period should be six or seven days, and now it has only been three days. It also means that if there is still a battle in the next three or four days, Captain Parks will be absent from command and Lieutenant Spiel will lead everyone to fight.

The second battalion set up a battalion in Kaulub Village. They are waiting for other battalions and then attacking the town of Noville from both sides, and the second battalion will play a major role in the attack. This annoyed Captain Winters.

"Why is it always the second battalion? Company E suffered a major blow, and the other companies also had a hard time. Now the brothers' soldiers are unstable and have fallen to the lowest point. God, this is worse than in Bastogne. When Captain Winters was in the battalion headquarters, he began to complain that he had just returned from the E Company patrol, and the brothers were in a bad mood.

"Even if it is said to Colonel Sink, it is useless. They just want to keep attacking now. General Taylor came back to take power. He was criticized in Bastogne. Now he has to rely on attack to save his face. Dick, complaining is useless. It will only make you rise more!" Nixon saw it very clearly. He picked up the wine bottle from his side and poured it directly into his mouth without using the glass.

"You weren't like this before!" Winters took a strange look at Nixon.

"Do you mean I won't persuade you to give up? Or don't complain?" Nixon smiled and said, "Is it because I would have complained with you before? It doesn't matter!"

"I mean to pour wine directly into your mouth with a wine bottle!" Winters said.

Nixon couldn't help laughing, and then nodded and said, "Yes, but people always change. This war has changed a lot of things for me!"

"It also includes the habit of drinking!" Winters added, "But I still can't see where you have changed, except for the way you drink!" But the biggest change should be Les!"

Nixon was stunned and suddenly smiled and said, "When it comes to Les, he doesn't call it change, but doesn't count as letting us discover new things, and it surprises us every time. Of course, this is true even if it is injured. He left Company E and had such a big impact on the company, which I didn't expect. Now the personnel of Company E is seriously understaffed, and there are only 83 people staying here. This is far from a company formation! What's more, morale has fallen to the extreme!"

"I don't know what Les is doing at this time?" Winters suddenly said such a sudden sentence. But it's not sudden at all. Many people are thinking, what is Captain Parks doing at this time?

What is Captain Parks doing? This problem may be a problem for the brothers of Company E, but a surprise for Baston's medical staff. This surprise can be seen in Renee's eyes and from the expression of Baston's doctor Repisle. Because they were surprised by the improvement of Parks' injury.

Originally, it was estimated that there would be 7 or 8 days for Parks to move freely, but now it seems that three days will allow him to turn around on the ground as if nothing had happened. If it hadn't been for Dr. Rippisl's order, Captain Parks might have gone to the front line to find the brothers of E Company at this time. Nevertheless, if you want to recover, you have to wait for two to three days, which is only about 70% or 80%.

Dr. Repysle can't figure out why Parks' recovery period is much shorter than others. He can only attribute this to Parks's physique, which is different from ordinary people, and thanks to Renee's careful care. The bandage could have been changed once every two days. In order to make Parker's wound recover better, Renee would change the medicine and bandage for him every day.

Of course, there is another secret that Parks can't tell them. Originally, even if the bullet was hit, it was the least damaged, and he had a way to recover himself, thanks to the training of his previous life agents and his self-exploration in long-term battles and familiarity with human function. Of course, there is no traditional Chinese medicine here. If there is, the recovery may be faster!

Parks met the brothers of Company E in Baston. They were all injured from the front line and transferred to Baston's long-term observation treatment after simple treatment in Foy Village. Cabo also moved to Bastogne together.

"It's great to see you! "Captain!" Carper hung a bandage on his arm, and then hugged Parks with one hand, and Parks just sat against the wall on a simple **.

"Kaber, I didn't expect you to get hurt too!" Captain Parks smiled at the corners of his mouth, and then shook his head and said, "How are the brothers of Company E now?"

Kaber couldn't help but say sadly, "Yes, Captain, you will be injured, and I will definitely be injured." Now you can also see that there are nine people who have been transferred to the Baston Ambulance Station alone. They are all seriously injured. There are also six people with less injuries left in Fuyi Village, and then waited to return to the company!"

"What the hell is going on?" When Parks heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"We suffered setbacks when we attacked the village of Kaulubu. 15 people were injured, including me. I was hit by a German sniper before I got to Kaulbu. Fortunately, it was not very serious. It will be fine in a day or two. I asked to come to Baststone myself, just to ask you, Captain, when I can return to the front line with you!" Carbo squeezed his lips, "Campbell, Menz and Kenmich are dead. Now some people who come back injured say that their brothers are not in a good mood. So I just want to come and ask you!"

"Who is the company commander now?" Parks Road.

"Lieutenant Wales is injured, and he is still in Foy. It is estimated that he will soon be transferred here after treatment. The acting company commander is Lieutenant Speer!" These messages from Kabo were brought by some of his brothers after the injury. Therefore, he is very clear about the personnel changes of Company E.

Lieutenant Spiel! There was a wry smile on the corners of Pax's mouth. It seems that the full-name company commander of the previous life of E Company has come to this position. Although it may not be too long, it is finally a compensation. At a time when the morale of brothers is generally low, he is the most suitable choice. Company E is about to attack the town of Norville. I don't know what will happen! Lieutenant Spiel will definitely lead his brothers to victory, but what will be the price of victory?

Parks did not reply accurately to Capor. He knew that if he wanted to leave, it would not be realistic. Maybe in two days, the situation would be different. After all, his current injury is the same day by day, and in two days, he can move freely.

Parks is a little anxious, but it is useless for him to be anxious, because Company E's attack on Novill Town is after tomorrow, and he can't catch up with this battle.

And while he was waiting anxiously, a cargo ship was chopping waves in the sea and moving quickly towards Britain. There were two women in the bow of the ship looking at the sea in front of them. Their hearts had already flown to the war-torn European continent...
