Chapter 295 Prisoner of War Mission

The order brought by Captain Winters is really not good news. In the current situation of Company E, it is okay to patrol normally, but it really penetrates into the German army, and it is also necessary to ensure the capture of German prisoners, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and danger of the task. There may be casualties at any time.

After Captain Winters left, Captain Parks, Lieutenant Wales and Lipp began to discuss the candidates for the mission. They need to select experienced people to lead the patrol, and try to make those rookies avoid participating in this mission, otherwise they are likely to kill other brothers on the mission.

"Honestly, all non-commissioned officers need to rest now, sir!" Li Pu told Parks truthfully, "They are all tired, but if they really want to choose, I will let Martin, Malaki or Grant. Of course, it's not up to me to decide on an officer. It's better to be an experienced officer. In my personal opinion, Martin, these non-commissioned officers can complete this task.

"I know. It's up to you to choose the soldiers. I need 14 soldiers, including non-commissioned officers. Hand over the list to me tomorrow!" Parks nodded, and then he said to the Welsh lieutenant, "Harry, call Lieutenant Welfare to come over. I want him to take charge of this command. He is experienced and is a good choice."

"That's what I think!" Li Pu nodded.

The next day, Li Pu drew up a list and went to each platoon to notify him in person. Then the sergeant in the platoon was responsible for conveying the task and handing over the selected people to Li Pu to gather. And this news also made many E companies keep praying in their hearts that they would not be selected this time.

"Brothers, we have a mission!" Sergeant Malachi hit all his brothers in a big house and then said to his brothers, "We are going to take a mission to capture the German prisoners on the other side of the river. So some of us were lucky to be drawn.

"God, you must have been drawn to me!" Hefran meditated in his heart, and he looked at Malaqi nervously. But Maraki's eyes turned to him. The two looked at him, and then nodded to Hevron and said, "Hevron, yes, you participated!"

"Damn it!" Hevran couldn't help scolding, and then looked depressed. He inserted his hands into his hair with chagrin and buried his face in his hands. Obviously, he was very disappointed. At this time, Macron sat beside him, put his hand around his shoulder, and then patted him twice, trying to comfort him.

"And Lambrez and Macron, of course we need to translate, and Webster will be our translator! And Li Gaote, Li Gaote can speak German, let's go together!" Malachi nodded to his brothers and said, "That's all. Don't look at me like that. I also have a share. This is not my list. Guys, go to Lipp or Captain Parks and tell them about your grievances!"

Macron was patting Hefron on the shoulder just now, but he immediately heard his name and couldn't help but grow up in astonishment. Then he pulled his hand back and muttered, "Why don't you let those supplementary soldiers go?" God, we have been fighting for so long and still haven't let us go. What a hell!"

Malachi clapped his hand and said, "Okay, don't complain. We still have time. The task will be carried out in three days. We still have to learn how to use the kayak. Get ready, guys!" Malaki said and went out alone. He didn't want to stay here and listen to their complaints.

"Why do you need two translators?" Li Gaote watched Malaqi go out and couldn't help shouting, but Malaqi ignored him and walked away. Li Gaote had to mutter dissatisfiedly to Webster, "Are you not good enough German? Or do you still need someone to translate your lame German?

"Hey, how do you talk? This is not my decision. Why are you angry with me? Damn it, if you don't want to go, go and talk to Li Pu or Captain Parks, you coward!" Webster refused to suffer at all, and he didn't like this guy very much. When he heard Li Gaote's complaint, he rudely chose to fight back, which was not commensurate with his good temper.

"Kid, do you want to learn a lesson?" Li Gaote suddenly stood up from the chair and reached out to grab Webster's collar. "Don't expect that you are a college student to look good in front of me. Dude, I won't buy you!"

"Enough, Li Gaote!" Hefran suddenly stood up and stood in the middle of the two. Looking at Li Gaote, he frowned and said, "Damn it, we have all chosen to die. You are still making in internal trouble here. What two bastards!" With that, Hefran stopped looking at the two of them and walked out of the room.

"Look at what you have done!" Webster stared at Li Gout and then walked out. "I have to go to the No. 2 Observatory, but I don't have time to torture you here." Webster slowly walked out of the room, and then closed the door heavily, making a heavy "bang" sound, which made all the sounds in the room disappear. There is only a group of people sitting in a daze, and no one has the heart to speak.

Li Pu handed over the list to Parks. In the list of Jackson, Mosier, Mas, Macron, Cobb, Pip, Roy, Hefron, Lambrez, Sifty, Carbo, Garcia, Skiney and Lyle, Parks found the unlucky Jackson, who would be killed by his grenade at a glance. He was a recruit with little experience, so he became the only one injured and dead in the operation. Parks couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, pointing to Jackson's name and smiling at Li Pu, "This is a recruit. He has no experience. Replace him and let Ellie go. He is old and cautious."

Li Pu nodded and said, "Well, I wanted the newcomer to adapt earlier, but to be on the safe side, I can completely replace this guy. He is lucky!" With that, he picked up the list and went out. As soon as he got to the door, he met a young second lieutenant officer. Wearing a neat military uniform, his face was neatly trimd, and he carried a big package on his shoulder. Obviously, the officer also saw the existence of Li Pu.

"Your officer!" Li Pu saluted him and was ready to leave.

The officer nodded to Li Pu, and his eyes were full of pride. In Li Pu's later description of him, it was like a proud Gallic rooster looking around at the chickens worshiping him.

"Sergeant, is this the headquarters of Company E?" The legion stopped Li Pu, who was about to leave. "What's your name?"

Li Pu couldn't help frowning. He could see that the officer was a young man, too young and arrogant. He nodded and said, "Yes, sir, my name is Carwood? Li Pu, Sergeant-in-Sergeant of Company E. This is the headquarters of Company E. What can I do for you?

The young officer looked at him and nodded slightly and said, "I see it, sergeant. That's why I asked you. I am an officer who came here to report. I graduated from West Point Military Academy, and the combat department asked me to come here to learn from experience. I want to find Captain Parks!" When he said this, he looked a little solemn. It's like mentioning the expression of the Virgin Mary.

"The captain is in there. You can find him in the living room, as well as Lieutenant Wales, the deputy company commander!" Li Pu said, "Sar, I have to assign tasks, so--"

The young officer got the answer he wanted. Without pestering these, he nodded to Li Pu and said, "Okay, sergeant, you can go in by myself!" With that, he almost couldn't wait to walk towards the hotel. As he stood at the door, he saw two officers chatting on the sofa in the living room of the hotel. One of them has known him for a long time. He has seen his photos in the newspaper and heard his voice on the radio. I saw clips of his battle in those documentaries with the army. That's right, Captain Parks is an idol officer highly respected by the cadets and instructors of the whole West Point Military Academy. Moreover, some of Captain Parks' classic combat examples have appeared as models in the textbooks of the military academy.

"Report! Sir!" The young officer looked a little excited. He said loudly, hoping to attract the attention of the two officers in the living room, especially the one he knew.

Captain Parks and Welsh turned their heads doubtfully to look at the officer standing at the door.

"Who are you?" Lieutenant Wales looked at the young officer at the door and couldn't help muttering, God, this is an inexperienced officer. How can he be added to the front line? He'd better be able to go to those clerical departments.

"Hank? Second Lieutenant Jones was ordered to report to Company E to Company General Parks. The young officer looked respectful, which made Parks laugh for a while. The new officers are all like this. They regard the battlefield as sacred and want to participate in the experience in person so that they can use what they have learned in school.

"Very good. Find a seat by yourself and sit down. Let's talk about your position later!" Parks nodded to him and then said to the Welsh lieutenant, "It seems that we can only rely on these veterans for our mission. Tomorrow we will ask the firepower of the whole company to support them. Of course, I will advise Captain Winters, and the fire support of the whole battalion is not too much!"

Second Lieutenant Jones knew what kind of task it was. He had heard of it when he was in the regimental headquarters. Now Captain Parks is talking about this patrol mission, which is also a good time for him to use his hands and feet!

"S sir, please participate in the patrol!" Second Lieutenant Jones stood upright and said to Parks.

"No, you have no experience!" Of course, Lieutenant Wales knows what Jones thinks.

Parks frowned at him, meditated for a moment, and then said to Lieutenant Wales, "Harry, it's good for him to learn a little experience!" With that, he nodded and said, "Okay, Second Lieutenant Jones, I agree with your request!"
