my battlefield my company

Chapter 198 The Biggest Hand

The challenge book of the 116th infantry company under independent connection.

Witnessed by the translator of the Military Commission, the Independent Company and the 116th Infantry Company agreed that at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, they will learn from each other and make progress together in the largest martial arts arena at McCall Military Base.

After Wu Zhonghua sent Second Lieutenant Asahi Kentaro and the translator of the Military Commission out.

Ambassador Hu Shi asked Yan Zhi how confident he was in fighting the 116th Infantry Company tomorrow?
Yan Zhi replied without hesitation: "Except for the E company, I am not sure, the independent company can completely defeat all the troops of the allies."

Yan Zhi saw off Ambassador Hu Shi and Major General Yuan Ning. The three of them walked and chatted while the embassy car followed.

At the gate of Michael's military base, Ambassador Hu Shi and General Yuan Ning boarded the car and left. Yan Zhi met Second Lieutenant Winters who had just returned from outside.

Mike Winters asked Yan Zhi if he wanted to continue with the unfinished bottle of wine.

Yan Zhi smiled.

Of course I would.

Anyone who likes E Company and the book "Band of Brothers" would not want to drink with Winters.

This is like someone who likes football, who doesn't want to drink, eat and chat with Ronaldo and Messi.

Of course, Ronaldo and Messi don't drink.

Yan Zhi and Winters are like old friends for many years, drinking and chatting, smoking.

Yan Zhi told Wenders about the 116th Infantry Company challenging the Independent Company.

Second Lieutenant Mike Winters laughed and said that if E Company could fight side by side with Independent Company one day, he couldn't imagine how wonderful sparks the two companies would produce.

After chatting with the 116th Infantry Company for a while, Winters told Yan Zhi that he had a showdown with Sobel because of cleaning the toilets.

Lieutenant Mike Winters pulled out of his coat pocket a typed document that Sobel had asked Sergeant Major Evans to hand him.

Yan Zhi remembered that in "Band of Brothers", Lieutenant Mike Winters had a fierce confrontation with Sobel because of cleaning the toilet.

Yan Zhi opens the file:

Airborne, 101E Division, 506th Regiment, E Company

1943th *January 30 (Note: * is somewhat blurred)

Subject matter: Punishment in accordance with Article 104 of [Wartime Regulations]

Deliver to Ensign Mike Winters
1. You must state in the form of your signature below whether you are willing to be punished according to the wartime regulations or to be tried by a court-martial for not following my instructions to check the toilet at 14:45 today.

Signed Lieutenant Mark Sobel in large cursive script.

This is roughly the same as in the "Band of Brothers" TV series.

Yan Zhi said: "Is it because I became friends with you that angered Sobel?" Although Yan Zhi knew that there had been conflicts between Sobel and Winters, the inspection of the toilet this time was the fuse. But he felt that the date and time of this conflict were a bit different, perhaps because of his own reasons, which caused the conflict between the two to intensify in advance.

Sobel is very harsh on his subordinates. He despises people, and of course his subordinates can't like them. It's like looking at a military map every time during an exercise. The route he thinks is right, even if it is wrong, the soldiers must go. go down.This is also the reason why the soldiers of E Company did not want to go to the closer and closer battlefield under his leadership.It is very scary to go to the battlefield with a dogmatic and stubborn person like Sobel who doesn't even know a military map.

"The conflict between me and Sobel has been going on for a long time, and it has nothing to do with you. It is my freedom to be friends with you and anyone, and he has no right to interfere." Winters shook his glass, his tone was gentle but firm said, "I went to Sobel! I told him I was ordered to check the toilets at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"How did he say?"

"Lieutenant Sobel said he changed the time to 2pm."

Yan Zhi didn't speak, which was exactly the same as in the original book, except that the time was slightly earlier.There is a big reason for this, because Sobel doesn't like being friends with Winters. Judging from Sobel's expression during the match between the Independent Company and the 116th Infantry Company yesterday, he despises Chinese soldiers.

"I wrote a letter to Lieutenant Colonel Stray, telling him that I do not accept Article 104 of the [Wartime Doctrine]. I request that the matter be court-martialed."

Yan Zhi said: "Sobel is more rigorous, which is a good thing for improving the style of soldiers, but he is too harsh and dogmatic, and he doesn't understand that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. As a commander, he needs to be flexible. Follow along Sobel going to the battlefield may not be a good thing for the officers and soldiers of your entire company."

Second Lieutenant Mike Winters looked at Yan Zhi in surprise. He didn't expect that his good friend, whom he had known not long ago, would be able to see through Sobel right away.

"He will kill your entire company!" Yan Zhi continued, "I agree with you going to court-martial with him!"

True to the original.

I'm just icing on the cake.

Yan Zhi swung his wine glass, it was a great joy in life to be friends with Winters.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

It was Gordon who walked in with Fan Xiaosi.

Fan Xiaosi couldn't find Yan Zhi in the barracks, and knew that he would most likely be with Second Lieutenant Winters.

Fan Xiaosi handed Yan Zhi a package and a letter.

Yan Zhi opened the letter, and a few beautiful small characters appeared in front of his eyes:
Brother-in-law save me.Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan?

Brother-in-law?

Yan Zhi was stunned for three seconds. It turned out that Ye Xuan knew about my existence, but why did she call her "brother-in-law".

Open the package, there is a piece of clothing inside, and another small package
Yan Zhi knew it, this was the military jacket he wore for Ye Ya.

After rescuing Ye Ya in the stockade on the edge of Longlin Mountains, his clothes were always with Ye Ya. Ye Ya never asked to return it, and neither did he.

There were cuts on the clothes, and the blood stains on them had been washed clean. The clothes exuded Ye Ya's faint smell, which was exactly the same as the smell he smelled in Ye Xuan's closet.

How did this dress come to Ye Xuan?

When Ye Ya died, she was wearing this dress all the time. It was strange, why wasn't this dress buried in the ground with Ye Ya?Could it be that Ye Ya's body is no longer there, and it is too late to send a telegram to ask if Ye Ya's body is still there.In terms of human nature, Yan Zhi would not do this. Although she is Japanese, people die when they die, and he can't do grave picking.

Yan Zhi opened the small package, and it was Nalan Xinghui's jade pendant.

Yan Zhi was shocked: "Xinghui has an accident!"

Fan Xiaosi: "Sir! Is it Second Miss?"

Yan Zhi nodded and regained his composure in an instant.

There is a note under the jade pendant, which is the man's English handwriting: before dark, come to rescue people, and wait for the body to be collected after the time is exceeded.Follow the main road at the gate of McCall Military Base to the north, and someone will show you the way at [-] kilometers.Don't call the police, don't bring any weapons, or you won't even see their dead bodies.

In the United States, you will be detained without a driver's license, so I allow you to bring the driver.

Signature: Biggest Hands.

"Sir?"

"Second Miss has been kidnapped, we are going to rescue her now." Yan Zhi said, and handed the note to Winters, "Obviously, the other party knows everything about us."

"The biggest hand?" Winters said with a frown after reading the letter.

"Nalan Xinghui is my fiancee!" Yan Zhi said to Winters, "I want to borrow your car."

Winters didn't ask who Ye Xuan was, he nodded: "I'll go with you, it seems that the person who wrote the letter knows us well. You don't have a driver's license, and you drive casually in the United States. If you are caught by the police, you will be misunderstood. It's a big deal."

Yan Zhi's heart warmed, and he nodded to Winters without refusing.

"Xiao Si, go back and tell Wu Zhonghua, Fang You, Xu Zheyou, Zhao Fugui, Zhou Youcai and others to stay in the barracks and not act rashly. Since we have accepted the challenge from the 116th Infantry Company, no matter whether I come back tomorrow morning , don’t compromise the prestige of our Chinese Independent Company.”

Fan Xiaosi said: "Sir, there are still more than ten hours before tomorrow morning's appointment, I will go with you to rescue the second lady, there is enough time!"

Seeing that Yan Zhi was hesitant, Fan Xiaosi said: "We are already very grateful that Second Lieutenant Winters can drive us there, but saving the Second Miss is a matter of our independent company. When we get to the place, we can no longer give Winters The second lieutenant brings troubles, mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I, Xiaosi, will accompany you through it."

Yan Zhi nodded.He wrote a few short lines and asked Gordon to send him to Wu Zhonghua, Deputy Wu Zhonghua of the Independent Company.

Winters drove the jeep, carrying Yan Zhi and Fan Xiaosi, along the main road in front of the McCall military training base, heading north.
