Since Webster's shout, E-Sean seems to have returned to the past years. This time, they have a clearer and greater goal. The more they are, their enthusiasm begins to explode, and they welcome every training with the greatest enthusiasm, whether it is a newcomer or an old man.

During this period, some wounded soldiers began to return to the team one after another.

The injuries are always proud to return because they all have a Purple Heart Medal that represents the injured - although in the eyes of many people, it is a bad medal, because all the US military injured in the war can get such a medal, but in fact, being able to obtain this thing is an honor in itself.

Just like Gordon - he was injured in the butt during the battle and was sent by the officer during his recovery. At that time, the others in the entire ward were almost envious. Who said Gordon was the only person in the ward who was injured in the battle? According to Gordon, after he hung the Purple Heart Medal, everyone else in the ward had his eyes straightened.

"I was very calm at that time. After hanging for a while, I hid the medal because I was very sure that I would receive all kinds of medals and medals in the future - after all, I am such an excellent person!"

Gordon boasted about his excellent appearance, and Zheng Yingqi was somewhat similar. He said to Sergeant Elbert, who envied himself, who returned to the team with injury, and said, "Don't feel uncomfortable, the other medal I have won can be given to you!"

Elbert is the unlucky guy who was stabbed by Smith with a bayonet. He was injured not because of the battle, so he had nothing to do.

"You still have it? Let me see!"

"It will be obtained soon." Gordon said calmly, and a group of people burst into laughter. Because the wounded soldiers returned one after another, there were more people in E Company who had the Purple Heart Medal, and they were no longer exclusive to Zheng Yingqi. However, the owners of these Purple Heart Medals have to face a problem. For example, now, someone asked Gordon about it with a smile:

"Godden, what rank is the officer who gave you the Purple Heart Medal?"

"Lieutenant-What's wrong?"

The people around him laughed louder. In Gordon's confusion, someone pushed Zheng Yingqi out and said, "Man, our Jacob also has the Purple Heart Medal - but do you know who awarded his Purple Heart Medal?"

"Col. Sink?" Gordon directly said the biggest boss he could think of, but it attracted a lot of booing. After he had enough booed, everyone said calmly:

"It was for Lieutenant General, who personally delivered it to Jacob - your next medal will be nowhere to be long? But Jacob's next medal is ready. According to our president, as long as the war is over, he will personally wear the "Medal of Honor" on Jacob's chest and let him accept the celebration of the people of the whole country!"

Gordon, who had originally thought of pretending to be a wave after coming to the company, widened his eyes. After a while, he expressed his depression of pretending to be a failure...

...

Boarding, waiting, airborne cancellation.

The days that have been taken have been running through E Company's life, so that everyone can now calmly treat every cancellation of the mission, and even bet on the plane whether it will be cancelled this time - slowly, everyone has become accustomed to this cancellation.

Seeing that it was September, but it was still unable to successfully carry out another airborne, Zheng Yingqi felt that the days ahead might be troublesome. If he had not been airborne, then in another half a month, on September 17, will he participate in the airborne that Bikeng soon take place?

The so-called must-have airborne naturally refers to the "market garden action".

The idea of ​​this operation was indeed quite good: the paratroopers landed in the Netherlands and controlled all the bridges with the ground-reading armored forces - in this way, the Allies could cross the Rhine River, the natural barrier of the German border, and then ignite the war in Germany, ending the war as fast as possible.

By the way, we have achieved the promise of "spend Christmas in Berlin" mentioned by senior officials.

But... wonderful ideas will always be defeated by cruel reality. Zheng Yingqi remembers it very clearly that this largest airborne operation in history has only two words in the end:

fail!

The nine-day battle resulted in: On the front battlefield 200 kilometers wide, the Allies paid a heavy price to advance from 45-90 kilometers, but the Germans regained control of Arnhem, and the Allies did not achieve the strategic goal.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yingqi sighed that the success of the largest landing operation in history was so much that he wanted the senior leaders of the Allied Army to be proud and complacent. It was in line with the military strategy that "superior soldiers will be defeated" and endured the failure of the next largest airborne operation - Fortunately, the Allied Army had a rich foundation and could withstand failure, but unlike Germany, they could not afford to lose.

The only regret is that in the failed battle, no one will be a long-lasting hero in the war.

He silently waited for the start of the Market Garden Action. As time went by, they no longer boarded the plane, waited for the cancellation of the action. This transformation made everyone understand that there was a big action brewing.

Soon they received a clear message that they would land in the Netherlands one day in the future, and the officers often said excitedly: "Gentlemen, let's work harder, this damn war will end soon."

The pack of wolves in the E Company would often roar with excitement, and they were waiting to complete what Webster said [Let the Germans taste the taste of war].

Just two days before the operation began, Wilsh and Ali, who were wearing the Battlefield Service Cross, appeared at the camp. I don’t know if these two guys were lucky or too unlucky, actually came back two days before the operation. If they came back three days later, they might not have participated in this bad airborne.

In response to this, Zheng Yingqi, who was promoted to the sergeant, could only shrugged and said, "Welcome to return to the team."

Wersh was promoted to lieutenant, and on the day he returned to the team, the second lieutenant who acted as a platoon leader became the deputy platoon leader again, and he himself became a platoon leader. Zheng Yingqi rarely mentioned how Lambler fought, but the propaganda newspaper repeated the war in Lambler many times. The deeds of the only officer had long become the pride of Company E. The step from the deputy platoon leader to the platoon leader was not difficult for Wersh.

This is probably because of the credit - in fact, Zheng Yingqi also has such an opportunity. E Company has a quota of officers. Winters originally planned to give it to Zheng Yingqi, but Zheng Yingqi refused and chose to be promoted to sergeant. Although Winters didn't know why Jacob didn't want to become an officer, he still fulfilled his wish.

On September 16, when the airborne was still one day before Moore and Malachi's treasure, the side tricycle was taken away by Sober, but Moore did not curse Sober's ruthlessness. After explanation, he realized that Sober had known that it was Moore's stolen motorcycle, but he did not confiscate it, but told Moore:

"I know this was stolen by you, and I have to take it away before the next mission begins."

So Sober came to fulfill his promise - but Zheng Yingqi felt that Sober was actually here to see off Company E. On the day of Normandy landing, Sober only quietly bid farewell, but this time, he entered Company E.

However, Sober left very heavy. He was once extremely familiar with those faces, familiar with the 138 soldiers he tortured and trained in various ways. Now he looked up and saw that only half of the 142-man company were familiar with him.

This is a very heavy thing, and even Sobel wants to question Winters: Where are the people I gave to you?

In the end, Sober did not question and just left the E Company's station with a heavy face.

On September 17, the Allies took out all their belongings and launched the famous "Market Garden" operation. Under the cover of nearly 8,000 bombers and fighter jets, 5,500 transport aircraft and nearly 2,600 gliders will airborne 35,000 paratroopers, 568 artillery, 1,927 military vehicles, and 5,230 tons of supplies to the Netherlands.

And E Company, in it, is an inconspicuous little wave...
