The good artillery position was touched by someone to command the shells and exploded half of them. The key was that they didn't catch any of the eyes they touched, which made Germany feel aggrieved. So the next day, the German artillery finally did not roar again.

Unfortunately, this is not a future generation, otherwise the paratroopers of the E Company would have definitely given Zheng Yingqi a wave of 666, thanks to their platoon leader.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the morale of Company E has returned to a high state. In just two days, he clamored to give the Germans some colorsees - obviously, this is the courage that Winters gave to Company E after stationing Company E.

The regiment headquarters also gave a task to Company E in a timely manner: to occupy the German positions east of Fuwa Village.

The German artillery position that Zheng Yingqi and his team had severely damaged was behind the eastern position. After occupying it, even if the German artillery was supplemented, they could not shoot whatever they wanted like before.

"Prepare, we will take the German positions tomorrow morning." Winters said to everyone at the meeting of non-commissioned officers and officers that was held later.

"occupied?"

Everyone looked at Winters in confusion.

"That's right. I plan to let Jacob lead his men to conduct infiltration raids before dawn and cut into the German positions. The German army opposite has less than one company of troops. I have seen the reconnaissance information provided by Jacob. The German army opposite no longer has much fighting intentions. After the attack begins, Company D and Company F will cut off their reinforcements. I think with the combat power of Company E, there should be no big problem to defeat an enemy without fighting intentions in a short period of time, right?" Winters smiled and answered everyone's questions.

"Of course it's okay, isn't it just a half-disabled company?"

"I mean nothing!"

“Not many challenges.”

The non-commissioned officers answered carelessly, full of confidence, but the officers looked strange, with their eyes on the sculpture-like Dyke and Winters who were still smiling, looking back and forth - it was very strange. Although Winters was the deputy battalion commander and came to the E Company to take charge, it was not Winters' turn to command such a combat meeting, right?

Note that in Winters's words just now, he used "I plan to let Jacob...".

The meaning of this sentence is undoubtedly that he is the dominant!

This is very problematic!

The non-commissioned officers slowly noticed something wrong, and the noise slowly stopped.

Zheng Yingqi had an inexplicable smile on his lips. Company E, is it time to change the company commander again?

Dyke suddenly stood up and said quickly, "I'll go back first."

After saying that, he quickly left the simple conference room and quickly left the place like an escape, leaving only a group of dull non-commissioned officers and officers.

It was not until Dyke's shadow could no longer be seen that everyone's eyes wrapped around Winters.

"What's going on with him?" Compton asked on behalf of everyone.

After hearing Compton's questions, Winters said indifferently: "We have reported to the division headquarters, and there will be specific orders tomorrow and the next day."

Dyke is an officer from the division headquarters and an outstanding officer sent by the division headquarters to "care" the E Company - well, when he was in the division headquarters, Dyke was indeed an excellent officer. When he first arrived in the E Company, he had experienced the fourth company commander of the cargo company. He was very satisfied to see Dyke appear like most officers.

Dyke experienced the late stage of the Netherlands war, which was not a harsh period. After returning to France, he led his team here on Christmas Eve - Bastogne, Belgium. After experiencing the most difficult years of encirclement, he also led his team to occupy Fova. However, the successive battles had exhausted Dyke's courage. The shelling after occupying Fova made the nerves collapse!

When the troops needed him the most, he hid behind. When there was a gun, he hid in the anti-aircraft hole dug for him, and sat on the verge of collapse. He was probably waiting for the superiors to order E Company to be transferred into Bastogne and stay away from the constant explosion.

but……

The battalion knew that there was no retreat. The E Company, the 2nd Battalion and even the 506th Regiment were still the arrows and were the most trusted combat force of the division headquarters. It was impossible to transfer them to a safe place and let other troops face fierce artillery fire at this time!

Then there is only one choice,

Substitution!

Going to replace someone?

Is there a replacement again?

The officers and non-commissioned officers subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again. Compton asked in a slight voice: "Who is the new company commander?"

Company E now has a company commander phobia - the first company commander, who was squeezed away by them, almost becoming a mutiny. The second company commander is so outstanding. Even the outstanding E can't keep others, the third...

He died in his country before he even met the German army.

The fourth term?

hetui!

A bastard who can sleep in the room until the sun is on the front line!

The fifth term?

It's really bad... I was shot by my own people and got out of the storm of war.

The sixth term was Dyke, who collapsed after experiencing a high-intensity war.

When Zheng Yingqi thought of the fact that he had changed to the seventh company commander in just over half a year, he couldn't help but mutter:

[Company E is a good company, but... it's too useless company commander!]

(Xu Sanduo laughed and said that I was the squad leader who was dismissed and stood up)

Everyone looked at Winters with eagerness to get to know the new company commander of E Company.

"Spierce." Winters gently said a name.

Spears?

Compton was stunned and asked, "Lt. Ronald C. Spears? Lieutenant Spears, the 2nd platoon leader of the D company?"

Winters nodded.

hiss

The officers and the non-commissioned officers couldn't help but gasp.

Spears is very famous throughout the 506th Regiment - just worse than Jacob's name, but in some ways, his name beats Jacob.

Jacob is a combat hero and is famous for fighting, but Spears is not the case. In addition to his excellent grassroots commander, he also has several names. Let's put it this way, officers (superiors and colleagues) like to call Spears "Sparks", which is a compliment, and it is the kind of praise.

But among the soldiers, Spears' nickname is "cold-blooded"!

When Winters was in the Netherlands, he led the team to fight bayonets with the Germans. Because of this bayonet battle, Winters became the deputy battalion commander, but he admitted that fighting bayonets was influenced by Spears. During the Normandy battle, Spears led the team to fight bayonets with the Germans. In an extremely unfavorable battle situation, he defeated the Germans' psychological defense line and reversed the situation.

Is it cruel enough?

This is nothing.

There is a rumor at the 506th Regiment, but it has not been confirmed, because in the official statement of Company D, one of the parties involved was killed - the specific time is like this:

During the period in Normandy, D's drinking became popular. In fact, it was not just D's. All companies had this habit during that period. However, Spears believed that this was on the front line and alcohol abuse was not conducive to combat, so he asked his subordinates to ban drinking. But the next day, a sergeant, one of the parties involved, still drank and got drunk.

Spears warned him of repeated orders, but the other party retorted.

Bang

Spears took out his pistol and shot the guy in the forehead, and finished it on the spot. Company D's official statement was that the other party died at the mouth of the German sniper gun, but since that day, Spears was called "cold-blooded" by the soldiers, and the Spears platoon in Company D's no longer drunkenness.

It is said that during the time in the Netherlands, the British were responsible for the supply of D Company D, and the rum in the supply was not drunk by anyone in the D Company...

There is also a story about Spears, and the truth is still to be determined.

It was still Normandy. On the day of D, Company D captured more than a dozen German prisoners, but Company D had just landed and had not yet gathered together. The soldiers of Company D who had just been on the battlefield at that time were having a lot of talk with one of the German soldiers who had been in the United States for many years. Spears unpacked a pack of cigarettes, dispersed one for each prisoner, lit a cigarette for them, and chatted with them by the way - but a few minutes later, the sound of submachine guns fired.

According to someone, all the Germans were dead.

Of course, it is impossible to kill prisoners. The D Company official has always affirmed and confirmed that there is no such thing as captives.

But everyone believes in the statement of "someone".

Just like Zheng Yingqi, Ali and Wersh never talked about the prisoner-of-war issue during Lambler.

In short, everyone knew him long ago before the new company commander came:

It's a wolf kill!

Before Dyke left the company, the E Company was already waiting for the new company commander to take office. Although Spears had all kinds of reports, the paratroopers of the E Company were very "simple" and believed that they only needed such a company commander because they cared more about Spears' other side:

Strong, radical, heroic and resourceful rifle platoon leader!

...

After Zheng Yingqi returned to the first platoon, he summoned everyone and announced to them: "There are three good news, are you interested in listening?"

"I don't want your good news to be a newcomer to come - I think this is bad news!" someone muttered.

Since entering Bastogne, the loss of the first platoon has never been small. Even the platoon leader has been in the hospital. Is the loss small? When they were resting in France, they went to the bar in the city and called their friends to drag a team of dozens of meters, but now? The whole platoon is here, and there are only 17 poor people!

"If the guys in the hospital were back in the team, I think this is good news!"

Zheng Yingqi laughed and scolded: "You think the hospital was prescribed by God, and you can come out after entering - Okay, let me tell you the first good news first, we will change the company commander."

"Well, this is really good news - although I have said this many times."

Some people said amused and crying that E Company is so good that it is so outstanding that sometimes it is good news for them to be able to change the company commander. There is no way. Who said that among the company commanders, there are a few big cheats that come out at any time?

Of course, the soldiers are more concerned about the following.

"Who is the new company commander?"

Ask a nervous question - don't ask someone who is worse than Dyke.

"Jacob, why don't you be an officer? Although we will lose an excellent platoon leader, we will definitely welcome an excellent company commander!" Someone said.

"Yes, you are the company commander of E Company. I believe everyone in E Company will welcome you with both hands!"

"Okay, okay," Zheng Yingqi pressed his hand and signaled that these guys to stop the endless horses. When the company commander was not as happy as the front line to beat the Germans to earn scores? He suppressed his subordinates and said, "The new company commander is the second good news I said - our new company commander comes from Company D, and is Lieutenant Spears."
