【I am a platoon leader again?】

Listening to Dyke's acceptance of his fate, Zheng Yingqi smiled bitterly. From the beginning of entering the plot of Brothers Company, he avoided becoming an officer - officers are of course good, much safer than soldiers, but if they become officers, if they want to get a high score in the final systematic review, they have to fight with their subordinates and challenge impossible tasks again and again. What is the result?

Furthermore, becoming an officer must be responsible for his subordinates. Zheng Yingqi must pass on a lot of knowledge in his mind and strong subordinates. However, what qualifications do he have to pass on the various things that countless predecessors of the two iron armies of the Seventh Steel Company and Lao A to others with their blood and lives?

So Zheng Yingqi never wanted to be an officer, but sometimes, excellent people cannot hide their light. So, people squat in the fox pit, and the officials come from the sky - he became the acting platoon leader of the 1st platoon.

The above-mentioned rank leads a row.

...

Jacob took over the first row and served as the acting platoon leader. He did not cause any waves in the entire company. If he had to say that there were, he could only say that some guys in the second row and the third row were a little red-eyed, complaining about why he was not in the first row...

How great it would be if this was in the first row. With that guy Jacob as the platoon leader, his chances of survival would be doubled. How great!

...

"In China, they have a festival, which is probably equivalent to our Christmas and New Year's Day - it's a festival called New Year," Zheng Yingqi was on the battlefield, with 23 people gathering around him. The soldiers were all in the trenches and foxgloves, listening to their first conversation after taking office, but unexpectedly, Zheng Yingqi spoke directly to the distant China.

"The Chinese New Year is the grandest day of the year for Chinese people. From New Year's Eve, they will not set off firecrackers and fireworks, and they can set off until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It was a wonderful day." Zheng Yingqi couldn't help but put on a nostalgic tone when he was a child in his memory, the sky during the New Year was so gorgeous.

"Today is also the Christmas we are looking forward to - although we have not fulfilled our wish to celebrate Christmas in Berlin, just now, we also realized the New Year atmosphere that only Chinese people have. The sound of gunfire and cannons are very similar to the firecrackers and fireworks of the Chinese people during the Chinese New Year. And we are much luckier than the Chinese people, because no matter how valuable their firecrackers and fireworks are, they are not as valuable as the 'fireworks' and 'firecrackers' we just experienced, right?"

The soldiers burst into laughter, and some people burst into tears.

After looking around everyone, Zheng Yingqi continued, "Wilsh told Gordon that this Christmas must be a very meaningful time in our experience - although these two unlucky guys can only go to the hospital to spend their Christmas, I think this is equally effective for us. Many years later, after your knees are surrounded by many little guys, you can say to them like this:

Your grandfather, I spent a lot of Christmas, but if you want to remember the most, it must be Christmas in 1944. That Christmas, we spent the most interesting Christmas in our lives on the land of Bastogne. God gave us a period of snow. The mustache brought us a team of New Years, and there were also many fireworks and firecrackers. Moreover, we spent this festival with many heroic and brave people. The most important thing is that the mustache was afraid that we would be lonely, so she specially left nine divisions of troops around us to spend Christmas in 1944 with us!"

"I bet that no one will be like us, like us, to have so many German troops accompanying Christmas!" Zheng Yingqi asked everyone with a smile: "Do you know the reason?"

"Because Germany will lose?" Eric couldn't help but say.

"Yes, this is the last Christmas that the Third Reich can spend. Before the next Christmas comes, we will definitely send the culprits of this war to the place they should go - the pain and suffering imposed by the Germans on the people of the world. We will double the pain and suffering that the Germans have on the people of the world, as Webster said, we must make generations of Germany dare not have the idea of ​​igniting war!"

Zheng Yingqi's ability to paint big cakes is extremely outstanding, or his words are all in the minds of the first platoon. In Bastogne, surrounded by nine divisions, in this environment where ordinary soldiers find it difficult to see hope, his words and his description of the future make the soldiers excited.

They can win, and they can tell their stories to the little cuties surrounded by their knees many years later!

Hope is the most tempting.

...

Dyke let out a long sigh. He was still a little worried, afraid that Jacob would not be able to keep the place. Unexpectedly, Jacob was so powerful. Just a few words made everyone in the first row feel like he was injected with chicken blood.

"It should be a good Christmas..." Dyke thought so, but he didn't expect good news to come one after another - Patton's Third Army broke through the German defense line, and the 37th Tank Battalion arrived in Bastogne first, which means that a large amount of military supplies will pour into this small city like a tide, adding a bit of glory to this Christmas.

Of course, the good news was not just that the siege was broken. General Taylor, who had made a huge reputation with the 101st Airborne Division, also appeared in Bastogne with the rescue troops. Before the night fell, Taylor even inspected the 506th Regiment, which was struggling on the front line, and stayed for a little time in the E Company of the 2nd Battalion, highly praised the efforts of the entire E Company during this period.

"You are the heroes of Bastogne! In the wave of defeat of the US military, you are retrogrades and withstand the attacks of the Germans like waves - in the extremely bad weather, you lack ammunition and supplies, but you are indifferent to the Germans' letters of persuasion and surrender. The Germans did not defeat you! And you with tenacious spirit are destined to be an undefeated army!"

Taylor delivered an impromptu speech at E Company, injecting another wave of chicken blood into E Company, which had already been injected with chicken blood.

Zheng Yingqi echoed in the crowd, but was chuckling in his heart. If this is what you think is lack of supplies, it only means you have no knowledge. A few years later, an army that is broken in your eyes will let you know in a state of lack of supplies...what tenacity is!

OK, Zheng Yingqi has played the scene - but as a soldier of the Republic, the miracles created by his ancestors in extreme environments are the pride that he cannot erase and suppress in his bones, and it is also the immortal spirit that has been passed down and cannot be erased forever.

...

Christmas is gone in a flash.

"Does it be time for us to go back to Momion? Go there to enjoy the heroes and have an unforgettable New Year's Day?"

This is what E even thought of everyone, but the facts made them feel furious. Not only did they not be able to go back, they could not even retreat into Bastogne. They had to stand on the front line, although the conditions were much better than before.

[On the will to fight in a difficult environment, no army can compare to our martyrs!]

The longer he stayed in the US military, the more proud and proud Zheng Yingqi became. The country that stood in the East for thousands of years had the most diligent and simple people in the world, and also had many, many devotees who did not seek rewards. From the Nanchang Uprising to the "establishment" on Tiananmen Square in 1949, it was precisely because of many, many martyrs who were more hardworking and willing to sacrifice than these US military, which had the great responsible power that rose in the East in the future!

Of course, Zheng Yingqi was proud while having to comfort the restlessness of his subordinates. In order to relieve his subordinates' emotions, he had to take turns to the company, battalion or Bastogne faction so that they could leave the battlefield for a short time and enjoy a short period of soothing. After staying in the US military for so long, he understood the US military more and more. The US military was not as people imagined that they would not fight without the air force and navy. They could fight tough battles, but their endurance to resist pressure was indeed not enough, forcing Zheng Yingqi to use all his ways to alleviate the state of the army.

So much so that the company and the battalion were confused, not knowing why there were so many troubles in the first row - they could only think that this was Jacob's discomfort in the first row.

It is too difficult to be a responsible military officer. Zheng Yingqi not only needs to satisfy the desire of the entire platoon of soldiers to "release the news", but also has to spend more attention on the battlefield.

Just like now, after watching the German army in a telescope, he asked Bowles on duty strangely: "Have you noticed any abnormalities?"

"No, it's normal for the German army." Bowers looked at Zheng Yingqi with confusion: "Is there anything wrong?"

"What's wrong, I remember there was no tree in that direction before." Zheng Yingqi handed the telescope to Powers and pointed out the area. Powers took the telescope for a while and said, "There are those trees over there, which is normal."

Powers is still sticking to his own opinion. He always believes that he has been serving as a post here for the longest time. Every tree familiar with the observation range will never make any mistakes. It must be because his commander is nervous and wrong.

Zheng Yingqi glanced at Powers, took the telescope from his hand, and slowly looked at it carefully, so that he would not suspect that he had remembered it wrong - this is one of the basic subjects of Old A, can he make a mistake?

"I saw some gun barrels - the tree must be disguised by the German cannons. The Germans must have arranged artillery soldiers there. Let me see..." Zheng Yingqi estimated the size of the area and said, "I think it must be an artillery company quietly arranged by the Germans."

Bowers felt that Zheng Yingqi was nonsense. He was about to debate with Zheng Yingqi when he saw Zheng Yingqi appearing as a platoon leader and said, "Bowers, go find an artillery observer to come over. This is a good opportunity to make the Germans suffer."

"I always feel that you want to waste taxes from taxpayers." Bowles muttered, and after being kicked by Zheng Yingqi, he ran to find a cannon observer.

After watching for a while, the artillery observer said uncertainly: "I'm not sure if it's the German artillery position, but we can give it a try." The US military, which has become more abundant in materials, has always been so rich and powerful, and fire reconnaissance is their best job. After the artillery observer communicated with the 105 artillery in the rear, the artillery fired its first cannon, but the landing point was 300 meters away from the target area.

After correction, the second shell directly targeted the target. Although it did not knock down Zheng Yingqi to confirm that it was extremely disguised on the trees, it exploded one by one with cannon barrels and groups of enemies.

The artillery observer was excited to shout more artillery fire.

Powers looked at Zheng Yingqi in amazement, and after a while, he said, "You are such a monster."

Amid the explosions of many shells, Zheng Yingqi said with a smile: "I am grateful for the praise."

About an hour later, the artillery stopped firing, leaving only a piece of plowed land, as well as many parts and a large number of dead bodies and wounded men.

One row made great contributions again - but this is just one of the invisible many merits in a row, because on New Year's Day, the entire 2nd battalion had a new goal.

"Our mission is to attack Fuwa." Dyke announced the mission to three platoon leaders, including Zheng Yingqi. Fuwa was thrown away from the 1st Battalion, but that was not the first battalion. After all, before throwing Fuwa away, they cooperated with friendly forces to withstand the attack of a German armored division, and finally had to give up due to heavy casualties.

"We have to let the first battalion know that we are our own people, and that we have the obligation and ability to get the places they have thrown away."

As long as an officer from the 2nd Battalion is in the second battalion, he will learn to use the 1st Battalion as a target shortly after entering the 2nd Battalion. Dyke's passage is translated:

We must let the first battalion know that your uncle will always be your uncle.

Well, that's probably what it means, another interesting way of mobilizing.

The officers present laughed knowingly. A large part of the reason why various gossips (gossip) in the army seemed to have wings was that under the lockdown of war, people who were familiar with each other could talk about too little, and news could spread quickly as soon as there was news. 1 The pride of the battalion commander in the division headquarters was naturally spread because the soldiers liked gossip.

That was a rebellion that the stinky brother had unsuccessfully - now, it's time to teach him how to face the wind.

...

Before the attack, the first battalion of cultivation came out of the city to change its defenses. The second battalion that went on the expedition was "kind" and "passionately" told their comrades in the first battalion's goal.

"Don't worry, we are a whole. The position that your 1st Battalion lost is responsible for taking back!"

"No need to thank us. After all, we are comrades-in-arms. We have the obligation and responsibility to get back what you have thrown away!"

"You're welcome, don't send it, let's take back the position you threw away!"

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Don't worry too much. See how we fight. Learn more and you will suffer less losses after learning."

The paratroopers of the 2nd Battalion kept saying "heartwarming words" to the comrades in the 1st Battalion who "sent" him, and asked them many times that they could go back and no longer have to send them. They just wait for their good news. However, the paratroopers of the 1st Battalion insisted on sending each other and reluctantly bid farewell to a long distance - some guys even took sticks and gave them away, and they didn't know where it was a custom.

Christensen said: "They were so enthusiastic that they almost stripped off my clothes. If I hadn't run fast, they would have left me to fight for the war."

"Okay, just shut up. You are the only non-commissioned officer who has spoken sarcastic to the first battalion commander. You will be lucky if they don't kill you!" Zheng Yingqi looked down on the kid and kicked him. Uh, did he learn this from the reconnaissance company, Old A or the independent regiment. He forgot, but as soon as he became an official, this reaction seemed to have become a subconscious behavior.
