Chapter 286 The best news

Secondnant Elder looked at Captain Parks and his subordinates' intimate hugs and shake hands, and said intimate greetings to each other. Although he can't understand too much, it can be seen that Captain Parks has a high status in the minds of his subordinates, but this is not awe of alienation, but a feeling of intimacy in respect. It is impossible for such a situation to occur among German [***] officials, and the superiors and subordinates are clearly separated. This may be the reason why Captain Parks can continue to win! Second Lieutenant Elder can only think so.

Parks also introduced Lieutenant Remark to them. He could not ignore this lieutenant, because his testimony would play a very important role in the disposal of German prisoners.

"I'm envious, but there are many regrets!" While shaking hands with Daniu Landauman, Lieutenant Remark couldn't help sighing, "I really envy you for having such a company commander. To be honest, I can only complain to my superiors. Why am I not an officer of Company E of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division? I think this experience will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

"You're right, sir, every day with Captain Parks!" Daniu Landauman said, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to Noville, Marage, take the others to continue the patrol, and we will meet in the town!"

"Why me?" Malachi looked at Landoman and muttered discontentedly, and then said to the rest of the patrol, "Yes, monitor. Guys, let's say goodbye to the boss. Let's continue!" With that, he kept muttering discontent and separated from Captain Parks.

When Captain Parks and Daniel appeared in the E Company, many people were surprised. After all, this kind of thing was not predicted in advance. Lieutenant Bill was talking to Heiliger and Lieutenant Foley. He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Captain Parks and Sergeant Randallman coming in, and then looked at Captain Parks in surprise.

"Oh, it seems that you are all right!" Lieutenant Spiel greeted him with a smile, shook hands with Captain Parks tightly, and then turned his head to Hai Lige and Lieutenant Foley, who came over and said, "Look what I just said? I guess you may be back in the next two days. I'm talking to them about you. You're faster than I expected!"

"Isn't it? I think Captain Winters will be very happy to know!" Lieutenant Helliger and Captain Parks hugged him gently, and then smiled and said, "No, I still have to tell Captain Winters the news. To be honest, he always has a lot of complaints during the period you left, of course, to the superiors and Colonel Sink." With a smile, he then patted Randallman, who was looking at them smiling and said, "Sergeant, let's leave and let these guys stay together. They must have a lot to say! I have to tell Captain Winters about it!" With that, he went out with Randowman. Landman naturally returned to the barracks quickly. He couldn't wait to tell the soldiers who were still in decadence the news, which might cheer them up.

"How do you feel about working as a company commander?" Captain Parks sat down and said to Lieutenant Sbier with a smile, "It must be much more interesting than being a platoon leader. Tell me, what's the situation now?

Lieutenant Spiel couldn't help shaking his head and said with a wry smile, "If you don't come back, I don't know whether to let these guys charge in the next battle. To be honest, the biggest problem with the company's work is morale, which is really nerve-wracking! But now that you're back, everything will be fine.

"Look at the excited look of Da Niu Lan Daman and you will know!" Lieutenant Welfare added with a smile.

Captain Parks nodded with a smile, and then stood up and said, "Maybe I should go to the barracks to see those soldiers. Maybe Da Niu has told them about my return. Would you like to go with me?"

"No, Captain, it's better for you to do this kind of thing by yourself!" Lieutenant Spiel refused knowingly. Lieutenant Welfare also found an excuse to shiel it. Captain Parks had to shrug his shoulders and walked to the door, "Okay, then I'll go alone!" After all, this is what I owe them!" With that, he opened the door.

When he was about to go out, he saw Captain Winters and Captain Nixon walking over accompanied by Lieutenant Heiliger. Captain Winters watched Captain Parks come out and couldn't help but stop. He smiled at him and said, "It seems that we came at the right time." With that, they strode towards Parks again, and the two hugged gently.

"I'm glad you're here again. To be honest, if you don't come, I may send Lieutenant Hailiger to Bastogne to tie you back!" Winters smiled. To be honest, this is the most out of line what he said. He didn't say such things before. He has always been cautious and not good at joking.

"Wow--" Captain Nixon whistled aside, "Dick, I didn't expect this to come from you." Then he turned his head and smiled at Parks, "He made another example for you. Do you remember the first time he drank? It's also because of you. God, I really don't know how many times he will make an exception for you in the future!"

Xixon said, stepped forward, hugged Pax tightly, and then let go of his smile and said, "It's so nice to see you, Reis! You know, this short period of time has made Dick very worried! But now it's all right, he can finally sigh!"

"I heard that you also brought a big gift. On the way, I met Kabo. He said, Les, to be honest, I don't know how many times I will make an exception for you in the future! For today's lunch, we opened a bar, Emerald 69, very good wine!" With that, he patted Parks on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and see the prisoners and the friendly troops who have changed from prisoners to winners!"

Nixon followed them closely and shouted at Captain Winters, "Hey, Dick, that's my wine. This bill has to be on me. It's my treat!" Hailige also followed them.

As several people walked, Captain Parks said to Winters, "Dick, I promised the German second lieutenant that as long as they were not involved in the Malmedy incident, they would be treated as ordinary prisoners of war. Of course, they surrendered on their own initiative and released 48 U.S. military prisoners, and even received preferential treatment!"

"I will!" Winters nodded as he walked, "I need a detailed report from you, and then I will fight for it so that you won't break your promise. Les, you can trust me!"

"Well, there is also a German soldier named Ritter. I couldn't have done it without his cooperation. If possible, how about giving him a chance to choose freely? He has made a contribution. Don't we have relevant wartime regulations? Give him a chance to choose freely!" Parks focused on this person. He can't cross the river and tear down the bridge.

"I know, I believe the above will consider it!" Winters nodded to Parks.

In fact, the final result is the same as Captain Parks's request. 48 American prisoners were successfully rescued and persuaded the Germans to surrender. After Parks reported in the form of a report on the same day, Captain Winters submitted them to the regiment as soon as possible. That night, Colonel Sink got Parks's report. Then he summoned the officers of the regimental battalion level and above, and held a small celebration.

With a bang, they opened a bottle of authentic French RHEIMS champagne! Colonel Sink signed his opinion on this report and sent it to the division overnight without even modifying it. Because there is nothing more exciting than this, even if the second battalion took the town of Noville, it did not make him so happy.

Since the Germans shot and killed 153 prisoners of war in the town of Malmedy, Eisenhower has been very ** against prisoners of war and has also been under great pressure. Media reports seem to have a tendency to point to him, because the leader of the German Paipu battle group, Yoheng, who really gave the order to kill? Colonel Pip did not fall into the hands of the Allies, and he escaped from Eisenhower's siege. This put a lot of pressure on Eisenhower.

Colonel Sink believes that as long as this matter is announced, Eisenhower will definitely be ecstatic, which will greatly relieve him of pressure and calmly deal with doubts from all walks of life. Such an opportunity to please the top commander, Colonel Sink believes, is also a great opportunity for his future military career.

"For the 48 free American prisoners of war!" Sink stood up, said with a full of **, and drank a glass. His face was full of smiles, which was indeed more important than a major victory.

"For Captain Parks!" Winters, who was standing next to Colonel Sink, said such a sentence while raising his glass.

Colonel Sink was slightly stunned and immediately understood what Captain Winters meant. He nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, all this is for Captain Parks, for our heroes!" With that, the cup was raised to the middle of the table, and several cups touched together, making a crisp "ding" sound, which was very pleasant to the ear.

When everyone sat down again, Winters whispered to Colonel Sink, "Mr. Colonel, what do you think of the opinion mentioned by Captain Parks about the disposal of German prisoners of war?"

Coloe Sink didn't want to talk about this, but since Winters asked, it was also necessary for him to take a reassurance. After all, this question was raised by Parks, and there must be an answer to him.

"Very good, I will report it to the above! I totally agree with him!" Colonel Sink wiped his lips with a napkin and said solemnly to Captain Winters.

"I totally agree with Captain Parks!" At the Allied Command, Eisenhower nodded and smiled at the generals and staff of the headquarters in the office, "This is also our principle. He did the right thing. Of course, more importantly, Captain Parks has brought us the best news so far since the battle of Arden!" Obviously, his words were a little exaggerated, which was also the reason why he was questioned and suppressed during this period of time.
