Chapter 292 Status of the Reserve Team

E Company arrived in Alsace, but did not immediately enter the front line. They were used as reserves and kept moving their places from one village to another every day. The weather began to get warmer, and there was sunshine every day, melting the snow on the ground, making the road on the ground very muddy and difficult to walk!

But they were lucky. On the third day of their arrival in Alsace, they got a shower room that could accommodate 215 people per hour. Although the water was not very hot, they no longer tolerate cold water. Many people wash it desperately and rub it with soap over and over again until they think they will rub off all the dirt for more than a month.

After taking a pleasant shower, everyone looked refreshed. Some people even found a razor and shaved their faces clean to make themselves more energetic.

"Li Pu, a military truck has brought what we want!" Captain Parks waited for Li Pu outside the bathroom. He seemed to be in high spirits and completely got rid of the decadence and depression brought to him by the pneumonia. "Let the brothers lead the material down, which is a bonus for us. In addition, old clothes, sleeping bags, blankets and so on are handed over to the military supplies and asked to take them to the laundry room. With that, Parks patted Li Pu on the shoulder before leaving. Even if you walk a long distance, you can still hear the excited shouts and whistles of the brothers in the bathroom. This made Parks shake his head and laugh.

Lieutenant Wales has returned to the company. His leg injuries have not healed. When he walked, he limped a little and packed up in the company's headquarters. At this time, Captain Parks pushed the door in.

"Damn it, Harry, I told you to let others do this. You have to lie in ** instead of standing here and walking around. For God's sake, even if you sit anywhere, you can be better than this!" Parks looked at the Welsh lieutenant and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "What are you?"

"Reth, okay, okay, I just want to make myself look a little useful. If someone else came to clean up the room, he would definitely say in his heart: Look at that cripple, he can't do anything. Wales turned another circle and put a bag of documents on the table. "Now it can prove that I can do things except for being a little lame."

Parks came over, put the bag of documents in the cupboard, then sat down and said to the Welsh lieutenant, "Can you do a service? God, Harry, you are the deputy battalion commander of Company E. You are a lieutenant!"

"I know, but I just can't change this habit. God knows what's wrong with me. I'm already a lieutenant. I'm still so keen on the affairs of the orderly!" Lieutenant Wales clapped his hands, then went to the opposite side of Parks and sat down. He pounded his leg and said, "After less than an hour, I felt a little unbearable. It seems that the doctor in the hospital not only spoiled my appetite, but also spoiled my body.

"You won't be able to stand it sooner or later!" Captain Parks looked at him and then said to Wales, "The regiment will send a second lieutenant officer named Hank? Jones, who graduated from West Point Military Academy, graduated from Fort Benning Paratrooper School at the end of the 12th of last year, and then was sent out as a grassroots officer. It seems that he has some background. You know, Colonel Sink never called me in the officer's assignment, but this time he deliberately told me this message and introduced his situation in detail.

"West Point Military Academy!" The Welsh lieutenant whistled and said with a smile, "We already lack officers, but we are top students!" It seems that you are very famous. Some people are paying attention to you and want to come to E to be gilded. This is the last time you have made those young guys rich after you became the company commander of Company E.

Parks looked at the corners of Wales' mouth and said, "Do you know?"

"Of course I know. At least this matter has spread among the officers. You will be promoted to major, and Sink may be transferred to the regimental headquarters. It's not a secret." Lieutenant Wales laughed and said, "Someone is even thinking about who will be your successor, Captain Heligue? Or Captain Spiel, do you still want to hide this well-known secret?

Parks couldn't help laughing, and then looked at Wales and said, "I was going to tell you later. But - you know, I don't want to be so feminine. Everything is not a for sure conclusion. Even so, it is impossible for me to go to the regimental headquarters. Dick has given me a job. Deputy battalion commander of the second battalion, I think this job should be very suitable for me!"

"There is nothing better than this." Such a result also made Lieutenant Wales happy. After all, they can continue to fight in a battalion. "You have thought about it. Who should you recommend to lead the E Company? Colonel Sink still attaches great importance to your opinion. I think you can speak on this issue!"

Parks looked at the Welsh lieutenant and nodded, "Our conversation is only between the two of us."

"Yes, I promise!" Lieutenant Wales nodded.

"I prefer Captain Hailige." Parks expressed his attitude to the Welsh lieutenant, "Captain Spiel is one of the bravest officers I have ever seen, but in the battle, his shortcomings are also obvious, and his brothers also have some complaints in private, which is not a good thing. We need a brave company commander, but we also need a company commander who is trusted and loved by our brothers. This is the tradition of E Company, and I don't want to break it. So Hai Lige is the best choice!"

"It's great! Do you know what I think? I think if it were Heiliger, it would be a wonderful thing! I like him." Wales smiled and said, "At least, after you leave, I can find a company commander who has a lot to say to me. This is also inherited by E Company. "Sale!"

Parks does play a very critical role in the selection of the company commander. Because when Colonel Sink explained the situation of Second Lieutenant Jones, he asked Parks for his opinion. His ultimate hope is that Parks can recommend a company commander who can inherit the essence of Parks's battle and continue to make Company E into elite soldiers. Even if Parks leaves, he will not be greatly affected. So Parks's opinion will determine the final candidate for Company E Company Commander.

The brothers have never known much about the replacement of the company commander, and they still live a simple life. Li Pu commanded the sergeants to lead the soldiers of Company E to board the truck to unload the goods. Then they saw high-waisted boots, equipped with cold-proof socks and felt insoles.

"What a bunch of geniuses!" When Malaqi saw these things, he couldn't help shouting.

Luz couldn't help shouting at the driver of the truck: "When I was in Bastogne more than a month ago, we needed you, but where were you?" Yes, more than a month ago, the brothers were in the forest of Baston, starving and suffering from hunger and cold, but they were helpless.

"Well, Luz, don't yell at him. They don't eat this one. I think these are the leftovers they share. They have kept the good things for a long time. Who doesn't know? The ship was shipped from the United States to supply. First of all, the best was taken away by the bigwigs in London. Then when they got on the train, the transported transport troops took off the rest of the best, then got on the truck, and then the rest of the rest of the best. When they arrived at the barracks, the officers picked up what they were satisfied with. The last shipment was me. These are the soldiers. Damn, we are the lowest hoodlums. They don't care how we dress and eat!" Gernelly seems to have a great resentment. This resentment comes from the suffering of Baston. People can't help scratching when they see things they don't like.

"That's right!" Malaki next to him said, "But we can watch a movie tonight. This has never been done before, except that it can be enjoyed in the Momian barracks. "Memoir", "Bir Bill" and "Our Young and Happy Hearts", God, I like "Birbill", and I can finally do something comforting!"

But watching movies can't really make everyone feel happy. Although they didn't fight and lived comfortably during this period of time, when the movie was played, some Pacific battle documentaries brought information. All these signs indicate that the Pacific War will continue for a long time, and these soldiers will jump over Japan.

"God, what kind of torture are we going to suffer!" Webster vented his dissatisfaction in his diary. "We met the most cruel European war. We struggled hard on the line of life and death, and then finally saw the dawn of victory. Everyone was counting the day to go home, but the dark clouds in the Pacific Ocean smashed all this. I can't imagine whether there will be another massacre when we skydiving, but I know that once I go to the Pacific Ocean, my chances of life will be greatly reduced!"

But in any case, on February 5, 1945, the 506th Regiment took over the 313th Infantry Regiment of the 79th Division stationed in Agno Town, and Company E entered the front line. When the soldiers heard the news, they were expressionless. They had already been numb by all kinds of news. What about even on the Agno front line? Anyway, they will enter one front after another in the future and finally be transported to the Pacific Ocean.

"Are those people in the Army Department all shit? Aren't we going to rob the work of the Marine Corps now? On the day he was on the front line, Carbo suddenly said such a funny sentence in the team. But no one laughed!
