Chapter 274 Ready to connect

Company E began to attack the town of Novill on the fourth day after Parks' injury. By this time, there was already a tank battalion to provide cover for them. Under the fire of the tanks, most of the Germans fled. Their will to resist is not very strong. Only a small number of fanatical SS were madly resisting the attack of the U.S. military in the town. These people were not afraid of death at all. Steve, a recruit in the third row of Company E in Momian, was hugged by a German army with a grenade safety rope, and both of them were killed at the same time.

Although the resistance was quickly eliminated, one person died again in the E company, and four people were injured, and Joe was among the injured this time? Toy. His left and right arms were hit, but not very serious.

"You have to get out of here!" This is what Gernelly said. Joe is one of his best friends in Company E.

Toy's arm was hung with a bandage. He looked at Grenari and smiled and said, "I'm leaving. What are you going to do? If I want to leave, I have to go straight back to the United States! If not, I'd rather stay here!"

When he said this, Captain Winters happened to come over, and looking at Winters's serious expression, he knew that he heard Toy's words. He looked at Toy and said, "You shouldn't stay here. You'd better go to the ambulance station. We will have a jeep to send the wounded to Baststone, and you will be with them. By the way, say hello to Captain Parks for me! The brothers miss him very much!"

When Winters said this reason, Toy knew that he could not refuse, so he had to nod, and then watched Winters leave, shrugged his shoulders at Gnelly, indicating that he was helpless!

"It's better for you to come back with the boss! To be honest, I really miss him now!" Grenari was smiling at Toy, but his words were sincere. Not only him, but also some brothers said that they were like this.

Toe left the town of Noville in a jeep. He stopped at Foy once and then turned to Baston's ambulance station.

The manpower of E Company has been further reduced to less than 80, which is another major reduction of E Company. And they were finally ordered by Colonel Sink to rest in the town of Noville and wait for the next action order, and Colonel Sink also set up the regiment headquarters in the town of Noville. The second battalion also began to build fortifications around Novill. Company E participated in a series of battles, all of which served as the main task. They suffered heavy losses and blows. Captain Winters was the most reserve company of Company E and stayed in the town of Noville.

"From the time we began to stay in Baston, I began to look here. I used to think that the battle in Novill Town would be our last battle in Baston." Lipu and Luz stood at the entrance of Noville Town, looking back at the forest area outside Foy, where they had the most difficult days.

"I hope you're right, Li Pu. To be honest, I don't dare to expect Colonel Sink to be kind to let us go back to France. Now we are the reserve team. Maybe they will add new recruits for us in a few days, and then say to us, 'Go fight, my warriors', which sounds like electricity. The lines in the film, but I really don't want this to happen. Luz rarely looked serious. He was blown by the cold wind and shivered. Then he groped out the cigarette box from his pocket, took it in his mouth, and lit one.

"Give it to me!" Li Pu said, took the cigarette from Luz's mouth, and then took a deep breath, and a thick smoke permeated his face.

"I remember you don't smoke!" Luz took out another cigarette from the cigarette box, and then lit it. He took a breath comfortably. He turned his head and said to Li Pu, "I've only seen it once before."

Li Pu took another cigarette, but his posture seemed very clumsy: "I don't smoke, but the last time was definitely the first time, and this time will not be the last time!" Li Pu's eyes were a little confused, and the snow and forest in the distance looked a little blurred. Think about it, from the Normandy expedition to now, the veterans have been injured and killed one by one, and the recruits have changed batches after batch, and the new veterans in the current company are only 78.

Li Pu has never looked lonely like this, and Luz, who was naturally optimistic, also looked happy. The two of them smoked like this, sat on a stone on the snow, and looked at the direction of Bastogne. None of them spoke, and no one was interested in saying anything more. The low mood began to spread in the sergeant's heart. This low has started with the soldiers and gradually spread to the whole E Company.

Bastone is still busy. As the 101st Airborne Division's attack on the German army increased, there were more and more casualties. The soldiers of Company E are constantly sent in. They are seriously or lightly injured, and will eventually be sent everywhere from here. The seriously injured will be sent to Luxembourg for better treatment. The minor will recover here and ready to be sent back to the front line at any time.

Today is the sixth day! Captain Parks stood alone in front of the Bastogne Ambulance Station and looked in the direction of Novill Town in the distance, where the brothers of Company E had been there for two days. If the estimate was good, a group of recruits would be added in a few days, and then participated in the attack on the village of Lacham in the valley on the right side of the highway. He can already walk freely. He is eager to leave this place. To be honest, it's really uncomfortable to stay here. I can see bloody scenes every day, listen to sad screams and some desperate faces.

"Head," he heard someone calling him behind his back, and then turned around and saw a toy with a hand hanging around his neck. Toy was injured in the attack on the town of Norville, which was not very serious.

"It's always a little strange for us to call us boss on such an occasion!" Lieutenant Parks looked at Toy and couldn't help laughing, "I'm almost recovered, and I can go to Noville Town tomorrow. To be honest, I really hate staying here.

"Who said no? I've had enough of staying for only two days. But I don't think Gernel will say anything even if I go back now!" Toy suddenly smiled proudly.

"What?" Captain Parks looked at him doubtfully.

Toy nodded with a smile and said, "Gernelly said that it's better for me to go back to E Company with you. Now I think I've done it. I'll go with you tomorrow, boss!"

"Your injury!" Parks looked at his arm.

"It's all right. If it hadn't been for Winters' use that reason, I don't think I really need to come to this place. But now it seems that it's all worth it. Toy suddenly said to Parks with great care, "Head, brothers, I miss you very much!" Then he took his arm out of the sling and waved it, indicating that there was no problem at all.

Parks smiled and nodded, "Yes, Joe, I miss my brothers too."

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting at them, "Hey, boss, why don't you take us with you?" We are almost hurt!" When the two turned their heads, they saw Carbo and Hudson standing behind them together. Obviously, they both heard the conversation between Parks and Toy.

"Of course, but you have to be careful of Dr. Repisle. He won't let go of any soldier who is in danger of injury. He is selfless. Don't expect me to say something good for you. Of course, I won't let you sneak away.

Hudson smiled at Captain Parks and said, "Don't worry, boss, my injury has already healed. In fact, what I am most opposed to is to treat people who only scratch my skin as wounded soldiers. I have to stay here and endure the smell of medicine and blood.

"Okay, guys, I'm ready. We will leave tomorrow. Before that, we have to get the doctor's approval, otherwise no one will leave here!" Captain Parks nodded and then turned around and left. Behind him, several people couldn't help but be happy and joked.

Before leaving, Parks had to say goodbye to the Welsh lieutenant. Lieutenant Wales was transferred the day after Carbo came here. Fortunately, his injury was not fatal, and Dr. Repisle judged that he would not be disabled, but it would take some time to recover. In two days, he will be sent to Luxembourg. Then receive treatment there and wait for recovery.

After the Welsh lieutenant was sent to the ambulance station, at the beginning, the whole person seemed a little silent, except for talking to Parks every day. It was basically silence. In order to prevent him from being affected by the atmosphere of the ambulance station, Parks deliberately borrowed a philosophical book from Dr. Repisle to entertain him. Later, he gradually smiled on his face and joked with Parks.

"How's it going? Are you interested in becoming a philosophy teacher in middle school after the end of the war? Parks smiled at the Welsh lieutenant who was sitting sick and turning over a book. In fact, he knew that Lieutenant Wales eventually went to a middle school after the war and became the administrator of the middle school. Being a teacher is actually his choice in the future.

Wales watched Parks coming over and couldn't help nod and said, "Rees, you're right. I'm a little interested in being a teacher. I used to think about what I should do after the war. Now it seems that I have found my direction!"

"Because I read a philosophy book?" Parks laughed and said, "I thought everyone who reads philosophy would become doctors!"

Lieutenant Wales couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "In fact, it's quite useful to read philosophy books. At least I can now think about why human beings have war. Self-inflation, the ** of interests, and the tyrannical tendency derived from a peaceful environment..."

"God, what have you learned?" Parks couldn't help shaking his head and said with a wry smile, "Okay, put it away. I don't want to figure this out. It will only make people more confused. What I want to say is, Harry, I'm leaving tomorrow. Dr. Repisle has issued me a permit, and I want to go back to my brothers earlier!"

"Well, man, there will always be this day." The Welsh lieutenant was silent for a while, and then looked up at Parks and said, "I disappointed my brothers some time ago. They were all waiting for you to go back. To be honest, you are the soul of E Company! They need you to lead them out of this war!"

Captain Parks nodded, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that I am very suitable to be a mother, if it is a female surname!"

His words made Lieutenant Welsh couldn't help but smile and dilute the faint taste of regret.

Tomorrow, they will leave and then go to E Company.

And just as they were about to leave. A team of about 70 or 80 people struggled through the snow in the forest. More than 30 soldiers in German SS uniforms, and the ragged U.S. troops escorting 40 or 50 people, are trying to cross the forest and move towards the town of Noville. The sky has gradually dimmed.
