Chapter 284 Change of Position
The snow has stopped unconsciously. Although there is still a cold wind passing through the woods from time to time, the original cold body has some heat and is slowly climbing up to the heart. The lieutenant in the U.S. prisoners looked at the situation of the German army in front of him and the look at the second lieutenant who was talking to Parks, and knew that the matter could basically be settled and they would be rescued.
"I need a guarantee!" Second Lieutenant Elder stared at Captain Parks. Although he knew the prestige of the other party, it was a matter of the life of all the German troops, and he must be guaranteed by Captain Parks. This is what he must insist on.
"I can guarantee that, Second Lieutenant Elder, this is a matter of benefit to both of us. It gives us hope and your own hope, doesn't it? Captain Parks said lightly. No one else heard the conversation between the two. All the Germans only thought that they were talking about surrender.
At this time, they saw Parks patted Second Lieutenant Elder on the shoulder, then walked to the U.S. prisoner of war, gently put the rifle down on the snow, then raised his hands without saying a word, and then stood aside with his head in his arms.
This is a demonstration. Soon a second person walked over. It was Little. He also put the rifle on the snow and put it with Captain Parks. Then he walked to Parks, followed him and put his hands on the back of his head. Soon there was the third and fourth... The Germans walked in front of the group of American prisoners of war one by one, and then put the rifles together, holding their heads and standing with Captain Parks. One by one. Second Lieutenant Elder's lips bit tightly. Watching the Germans hand over their rifles one by one under the demonstration of Captain Parks, and then consciously stood aside, waiting for the U.S. military to treat them as prisoners of war. He didn't say anything to stop him.
Now he was the last one. All the Germans stood together with their hands raised and looked at him. Second Lieutenant Elder felt that the road to the American prisoners of war was very long, and he felt very difficult every step he took, but he still moved forward step by step, and then he put his rifle. He came down, then took out his pistol and put it on the ground.
The U.S. lieutenant seemed to have expected this result, but once the Germans did so, it was still difficult for him to hide his shock and excitement. Captain Parks did it. He really let the Germans put down their weapons and then obediently became his prisoners. Captain Parks winked at him. He was the first to go to the front, picked up a rifle and said to the U.S. army behind him, "Brothers, pick up all these weapons. Now they have been captured by us!"
Seeing the Americans whistling excitedly, then flocked forward and picked up their weapons. Some Germans began to feel uneasy. They began to worry about what they would do to them once they got their weapons. Some Germans couldn't help retreating. At this time, their second lieutenant suddenly came to the corporal named Bourne and said to him, "You promised!"
Under the gaze of all the Germans, Parks slowly came out. He whistled into the woods, and then three beautiful people came out of the woods with German rifles and submachine guns. Then he turned to the German prisoners and shouted, "I'm a beautiful [***] person. Some people may have heard of my name. I'm Captain Parks of the 101st Airborne Division. I have promised your second lieutenant that as long as there are no people involved in the Marmedy massacre, I promise that their prisoners will not be subjected to any trial. Now I can also promise you!"
Parks's words surprised all the captured Germans. They didn't expect that the man who incited their surrender was a U.S. military captain, and many people turned their eyes to Ritter. This made Ritter a little flustered. He saw Captain Parks waving to him and hurried out. The Germans had figured out that it was a trick made by Ritter and the captain officer.
"Brothers, listen to this captain. I promise that he can give us a fair treatment!" At this time, looking at the German soldiers who were a little stirring, I couldn't help saying loudly, "I believe him. If you believe me, treat yourself as a prisoner of war in the U.S. military from now on!"
Second Lieutenant Elder's words are very useful at this time. Some of the Germans slowly became quiet. All the U.S. troops looked at Captain Parks in surprise, and then at the lieutenant standing in front of their team. They couldn't understand German, but they could see from the lieutenant's excited face that the German corporal seemed to be his own.
At this time, Parks took Little to the U.S. military, smiled and took off his German military coat outside, revealing the U.S. military uniform inside. Two silver bars on his collar showed that he was a U.S. military captain. At this time, the U.S. soldier beside the lieutenant suddenly understood. He also doubted whether the German army looked too much like Captain Parks, but when Parks took off his German clothes and exposed the U.S. military uniform inside, he fully understood and shouted excitedly at Parks, "Are you Les?" Captain Parks! God, I really guessed it right. It's you! God!" He looked excitedly at the lieutenant beside him again, and then saw the confirmation that the lieutenant smiled and nodded. He couldn't help but be overtated, but he didn't dare to do anything. He just stood still excitedly and giggled at Parks.
The soldier's shouts suddenly exploded in the U.S. military, Captain Parks, who doesn't know the existence of this hero in the U.S. military now? Unexpectedly, after a bizarre transformation from a prisoner of war to a captured German army, they saw the name they admired in their hearts, and it was the legendary Captain Parks who planned this strange change.
"I'm Lieutenant Remark. I'm glad to say my name to you now!" The lieutenant held Captain Parks's hand tightly, smiling, and then said to the American soldiers behind him, "Guys, now we believe in miracles. Under the careful planning of Captain Parks, we have turned defeat into victory. It seems that God is still favoring us! We escaped death and took away these German prisoners as the victors!" With that, he suddenly raised his rifle up and celebrated their victory with an exaggerated gesture.
"Head, I can't believe you really did it!" At this time, Toy held a rifle in his hand and walked to Parks with a smile on his face. "This is an almost impossible task. No, no, in your eyes, there is no task that cannot be completed!"
"Yes, boss, it's so perfect!" Capper smiled sidely.
"Shut up, Carbo! You said it was a suicide mission at the beginning. Now look, the boss did it. Hudson couldn't help smiling sarcastically at Kaber, "Well, now you can climb the head to win the medal again!"
"Damn it, I didn't talk to you, Hudson, you learned how to respect people!" Carper roared at Hudson angrily, and then said to Parks with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, boss, I should have a little confidence. You know I've always been like this. Believe me, I won't..."
"Well, Carbo, no one said anything about you. You are a member of our team. Each of us has a share in this task. We need you. It's that simple!" Parks patted Capper on the shoulder and said this sincerely.
"Yes, thank you, boss, I don't know what to say!" Capper nodded gratefully and then spread out his hands. Yes, he is a little annoyed now. He should have been more confident before.
At this time, the light gradually came through the woods. The sky was already bright, and the snow around it had already stopped. The gray sky seemed to be fresh. Although the road ahead was still a little dim, a trace of sun could be seen through the thick clouds, shaking everyone's eyes dazzlingly. Eye-catching.
"Ha, the weather is going to clear up. I thought I would wait until noon. It seems that we can go on the road now!" At this time, Toi suddenly burst into laughter.
Parks looked at the German prisoners, and they all stared at themselves. He looked at the U.S. lieutenant and the soldiers behind him, who were also looking at him, as if they were expecting something. There was a light of joy in their eyes. Yes, they once thought they would be shot by the Germans, and they didn't even survive last night, but now because of the appearance of Parks, they have won the victory of reversing the surname.
"Captain Parks, we obey your orders!" Lieutenant Remark said solemnly to Captain Parks, "I will lead all the members to listen to your wisdom."
"Captain, take us out of here!" Someone was shouting, and it was obvious that they couldn't wait.
Captain Parks nodded slightly, and then said to Toy, "Joe, you and Carbo are the vanguard in front. We continue to set out for Noville Town. I think the brothers must be in a hurry."
With the order, all the U.S. troops burst into loud cheers. They can finally move forward, not to be guarded, but to the prisoners to march towards their own troops. This excitement makes them very excited.
In the second battalion of Noville Town, Captain Winters is still worried about an order received this morning. They will set out tomorrow morning to attack the village of Lacham in the southwest. What troubled Winters was that now all companies have been damaged. In the past, the unfavorable E Company was hit hard, with less than 80 people, while Company D Company and Company F also had the problems of shortage of manpower and lack of officers.
"We have no other way. Why do we have to be the vanguard of the second battalion every time?" Captain Winters can only go to the camp, and only Captain Nixon can listen to his go to the camp. Lieutenant Compton has already gone to patrol the company.
"We are Colonel Sink's bayonet to gain honor!" Nixon looked at Winters and smiled, "What we can do now is to pray that the village of Lacham is full of old people and children, and then we occupy it!"
Winters couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. He was about to say something, but suddenly the door was opened. It was Lieutenant Heeinger of Company E. He was panting and excitedly shouted to Captain Winters, "Captain, you'd better come out and see who we found!"
