Chapter 0367: Dragon Slayer will eventually become a dragon
On June 29, Company E finally got off the front line and began to assume some less important responsibilities. On July 1, Winters was promoted to captain and officially became company commander of Company E. On this day, the president strongly praised a sergeant named Jacob, a sergeant named Jacob, a sergeant of the E in the 506th Regiment of the 101st Division, who fully affirmed his dedication to serving the country and promised:
At the end of the war, he would personally award Jacob the "Medal of Congress".
In response to this, Zheng Yingqi, who received the good news, smirked in front of others and muttered quietly in a place where no one was around:
It seems that I can't get this thing, otherwise... I'd love to achieve American military aircraft with this thing.
On July 10, the command finally fulfilled their promise and transferred the 101st Division to Utah Beach. The group of soldiers who airborne into the place on June 6 were finally able to board the transport ship and return to Britain - although it was not their home, for them, going to Britain would be temporarily separated from this damn war!
Before leaving, Private Moore, a row of privates, made a side three-wheeler, and finally sent some bribes to the Navy and successfully drove the side three-wheeler onto the transport ship. This side three-wheeler will become a transportation tool for a row in the next two months, making the other two rows scream. If they had known that they would have such a cool thing in France, anyway...
How could the Frenchman come to them?
The transport ship started to move, looking at the slowly moving Utah Beach, everyone on the ship had an inexplicable emotion brewing. On the D-D day, a total of 139 officers and soldiers of Company E participated in the airborne. Now, there are only 71 people left, including their company commander, and 36 people stayed on this land in France forever, and another 31 people were lying in the army hospital - some of them would never be able to return to Company E again in their lifetime.
...
Compared to the days when I was waiting for the battle, the days of cultivation are full of joy for everything. Although under the supervision of Winters, the training has never stopped, but being able to take a hot bath, eating steaming food, and not listening to the roaring shelling and sudden gunfire, such days are like a life of a god for Company E.
Although they made many airborne preparations due to orders, they often received good news of "mission cancellation" - the "powerful" advancement of the troops on the front line did not require them to take off from Britain, because their front line was almost motionless and did not need to airborne to the war zone to help them.
The repeated cancellations of airborne ships have caused new recruits and veterans to have inexplicable ideas:
It's best that the war ends on their holiday so they don't have to dabble in hell again.
This idea soon spread throughout the company. Every day they listened to the radio, hoping to hear the news of the German surrender. Especially on July 20, the German Wehrmacht Supreme Command's attempt to assassinate Hitler reached its peak. Many people were hoping that the Germans could end the war like the last time, hand over Hitler or kill him, and then they could go back to their own houses and find their own mothers.
This is a very dangerous idea - for an army that is always ready to airborne and re-enter the war zone, such an idea is the most deadly!
Winters also noticed something was wrong, so he planned to correct the thoughts in the company.
On that day, after the training, E Company gathered together, and everyone was standing or sitting around Winters in a big circle. After clapping his hands to signal quiet, Winters said, "During this period, I heard many people pray that the war can end in this period, so that everyone would not have to airborne into the damn war zone again, and fight carefully like landing in hell. Gentlemen, can you raise your hand and let me see how many people think like this?"
The soldiers of the E Company, whether new or old, always trust Winters so much, so many people raised their hands. Zheng Yingqi looked silently in the crowd and actually had a shocking illusion - nearly 110 people raised their hands.
Winters was also shocked, and then he was glad that he had discovered such a sign.
"Okay, to be honest, I'm very pleased to see so many people raise their hands - at least you didn't think about hiding it from me, the company commander, which proves that I am a slightly more successful company commander," Winters first gave a humor to relieve his uneasiness, and then signaled everyone to put down his hands and asked the calm Zheng Yingqi:
"Jacob, can you tell me why you didn't raise your hand?"
He heard Jacob's words to the reporters when he was in the division headquarters. Of course, he hoped that Zheng Yingqi could give him a surprise, but Zheng Yingqi's answer disappointed Winters a little because Zheng Yingqi said:
"As a soldier, what I have to do is how to survive in war, rather than putting hope in the misty world."
Although Winters was a little disappointed when he did not wait for Zheng Yingqi's long speech, he continued: "Well, Jacob's words were a bit heavy, but his attitude was very good - gentlemen, this war is not something we have taken on, but when it will end, it should be decided by us who represent the right people, not by the Germans. They set off this brutal war, putting countless countries and peoples into suffering, and ravaging innocent people. So, why should they decide when the war will end?"
"Did they give up their king and declare their surrender as they were like the last war? Then, after they licked their wounds for a while, another war was set on?"
Faced with Winters' questioning, most of the people in E Company became silent. Their fathers participated in the war less than thirty years ago. Many years later, they crossed the ocean along the pace of their fathers, landed in Europe again, and fought another war that was still dominated by the Germans. Could it be... many years later, let their descendants once again follow the footsteps of their fathers and ancestors to enter this damn war?
Sergeant Webster shouted excitedly:
"Yes! We should let the Germans know what war is! Since they dare to decide to start a war, when it ends, it is up to us!"
"We cannot let the Germans declare failure easily, and we cannot let the Germans retain the confidence to war easily! We should like the Germans, add them to the sufferings of the people of all countries and let them taste them for themselves! We must let the Germans know what war is!"
"War - War is fighting in the villages of the Germans and in towns! War is the corpses of their people, all over their cities and villages! War is to turn their houses into ruins, to turn their livestock into our food, to keep rotting in the dilapidated city!"
"It is to let these sufferings continue to be staged in their homeland! Before the end of this war, the Germans must taste the price of failure!"
"We must never leave the Germans with relatively complete national strength and desire for revenge - what we did this last time, and then, their revenge comes! This time, we must never let Germany go as gently as the last time! We need to let the Germans understand a truth: when you start a war, you must be prepared for failure - and the price of failure is to taste all the sufferings you raise in other countries!"
"We must not participate in the war like our parents, but retain the flames of war again - our juniors must not return to this damn war like us! For our juniors, we must not end this war easily!"
Webster and the shouting shocked everyone in the E Company.
Yes, they always think about ending the war negatively, but never think about the future - if their descendants still follow their old path in the future, why bother with them?
"Yes, we must not let the Germans have a good time! We must let them taste the price of the failure of the war!"
Many soldiers started shouting.
Winters did not expect Webster to have such a perception. This shout completely dispelled the luck that enveloped E's head and gave them a new understanding of this war and a clear and great goal.
Everyone in E Company was very excited, only Zheng Yingqi, but she was so cold.
Yes, this war ended with the result of Webster's hope, but what about their motherland?
This war, because of their continuous efforts, established the hegemony of the United States. Then, there were all kinds of police in the world who interfered in affairs of various countries, provoked wars, and carried out wars - the dragon slayer eventually turned into an evil dragon!
Their country has become what they least want to see, but their descendants, under the call of the country, maintain their ridiculous universal values in the corner of the world...
But war has become a common occurrence in their country!
