Chapter 0390: Too many plots, can't think of a title
The military operation to save the British soldiers came to an end the next night - because on the night of the next day, Zheng Yingqi crossed the river with six paratroopers and appeared in an Allied-controlled area. With the return of the last six British paratroopers, this extremely unsuccessful rescue operation finally came to an end in the official claim.
There were only 39 paratroopers and 3 American pilots living through the German positions. Compared with the more than 130 people at the departure, this number undoubtedly proved the failure of the operation.
But in the mouth of the Allied propaganda department, this was a "great victory". The brave American paratroopers passed through the German-controlled area and rescued the British paratroopers behind the enemy without a trace. This operation proved the friendship between the two countries and proved that the two countries, which came from the same source, formed an indestructible friendship in the war...
The latest newspaper from the publicity department arrived at Company E, and then he shouted and scolded: "Go to the special code British!"
"Damn British, besides being able to cheat people, what else do you have? Friendship? My damn friendship!"
The paratroopers of the E Company cursed the British. Although the operation brief submitted by Zheng Yingqi was suppressed, they were caught by the monkey spirit paratroopers. After learning about the passing paratroopers, they lost their last bit of affection for the British.
Stubborn, ridiculous group of bastards!
This is what paratroopers say about the British - if you listen to Jacob, how could such a failure occur?
Hellig was not very happy either. Brigadier General Max gave him the red beret he regarded as a treasure as a thank you, and claimed that Hellig was the most handsome US military officer he had ever met, but this did not make Hellig happy. Because of the entire rescue operation, E Company lost four brothers in the fight at the reception point, and Henry, a total of 13 wounded people who entered the hospital. Such losses made Hellig who knew the reason extremely annoyed.
Any damned and stubborn British who could listen to Jacob's advice would not have such a big casualty. In order to support the British, E Company had to leave the support point and penetrate the German heart. This is the main reason why E Company suffered a lot of losses.
...
Not long after the operation to save the bad luck in Britain, the tragedy that everyone in E Company least wanted to see:
Helig was shot.
As mentioned earlier, Helig's shooting was really unfair, but the fundamental reason was that he hesitated and did not answer when the sentry asked for the command - Winters saved the veteran who shot and transferred him to another army.
This time, the new company commander was Lieutenant Dyke from the division headquarters. Everyone in the E Company, who had changed many company commanders in more than half a year, had very low requirements for the current company commander, as long as he could be like a soldier. Fortunately, the new company commander Dyke did not disappoint their humble expectations. This well-educated, handsome and tall new company commander met their pitiful requirements.
In the hospital, Helliger, Bain and Henry both received the British cross medal, but did not have Zheng Yingqi's share. I heard that after a lot of consideration, the above gave up the idea of complaining to his allies.
It was not until after retreating to France that rumors spread, which indirectly proved why the British deliberately forgot Zheng Yingqi:
A British paratrooper named Prescott was captured by the German army in front of Jacob. Jacob, who had saved two British paratroopers at that time, was fully capable of saving Prescott, but Jacob did not do so, but allowed the other party to be captured by the Germans.
This British paratrooper named Prescott is enough to affect some people in the UK, so the medals are no longer there...
...
After Helig entered the hospital, Company E, led by the new company commander Dyke, persisted until November 24, and finally waited for the Canadian troops to change defense. The next morning, everyone in the 506th Regiment, including Company E, took a truck and retreated to France along the hell kilometers. After knowing that the US troops who had been confronting them for nearly two months, the German army on the opposite side smashed at least three hundred shells at the 506th Regiment's position in the rain, as if they were sending off the 506th Regiment away.
This battle on the "island" can be attributed to the follow-up of the Market Garden Operation on September 17 - that is, from the airborne on September 17 to the evacuation on November 25, they stayed on the land of the Netherlands for a total of 70 days. During these 70 days, Company E experienced many cruel battles, and during the period there were countless small-scale battles. In the many battles, a total of 57 casualties were killed and killed.
If we count from the previous Normandy airborne operation, in less than half a year, E Company had a total of 134 casualties - which was almost as large as all the people who had been on E Company D's Japanese airborne.
After Wersh told his subordinates who were feeling the Dutch style in the car, the hustle and bustle of the car suddenly became silent. Many people were looking at the familiar faces around them, recalling the faces they remembered in Normandy before.
There are fewer...many people!
"We had 134 casualties, but none of them were captured!" Gordon said suddenly.
"We also killed at least three companies of German troops!"
"No, there must be at least five companies!"
"Bad, at least eight companies!"
The paratroopers suddenly argued, and the atmosphere returned to noisy. They actually had not counted how many enemies they had killed. In fact, on the battlefield, no one could clearly count the number of enemies killed, but this did not affect their bragging - because there were countless German troops defeated and defeated by them!
Zheng Yingqi, who was standing beside him, chuckled and shook his head, these guys...
...
At 4 a.m. on November 26, the 506th delegation arrived at the destination of the trip, located in Momion, Germany.
"This is a military city, and the history of the garrison here has been at least two thousand years," Wersh got Momion's historical knowledge from somewhere, and said to his subordinates in a row of flaunts:
"In 54 BC, Caesar and his army stationed here, and the French army established barracks here for more than four hundred years - we have witnessed many wars here, and our American infantry also fought in nearby Dierborg and Bertywood in 1918. Look, there are trenches and craters left by the last war."
"What do you think when you see such a long war hub?"
Wersh asked his lazy subordinates with a smile.
"I just want to take a hot shower and go to bed!" Gordon's answer made the paratroopers laugh. No matter how literary and artistic the young man was before joining the army, after dancing under the sickle of the God of Death, his literary temperament had long been thrown aside. Nothing was more attractive than sleeping. If so, it would be sleeping with **.
Well, their biggest wish is to sleep in various styles.
"I'm playing the piano for the cow." Wilsh kicked Gordon depressedly, and then led a row of rushing into the military camps that had been prepared long ago. It is said that the logistics officers have planned their own camps for each company and each regiment, but who cares about your arrangements for the soldiers from the front line? Stop the house and go to bed, and those who come back find a tent to deal with it!
Maybe it was because he had experienced too many battles, Zheng Yingqi easily escaped from the state of war, but others were not like that. Two days before arriving in Momion, everyone was not at ease in sleep. Whenever there was any movement, they would startle from the bed, and then search for weapons that had been put away long ago. This behavior could be contagious like a virus. The movement caused by a person would cause a squad or a platoon to enter the state of combat where he was looking for weapons.
It was not until their consciousness slowly returned that they realized that they had a joke, and then hey, touched their bed - Zheng Yingqi, who was sleeping soundly, became a strange person in everyone's eyes. There was a second lieutenant officer who had just added to the row. After seeing Zheng Yingqi sleeping firmly on Mount Tai, he said:
"This guy is definitely not a good soldier! He doesn't look a little alert!"
The second lieutenant who commented on Zheng Yingqi did not expect that as soon as he finished speaking, he received a lot of shocked eyes. It was strange that he heard the platoon leader Wilsh say: "You should be on duty for the rest of the time tonight."
"Sir, why is it me?"
"Because your brain is a good thing," Wilsh said seriously, patting the lieutenant's shoulder, "but... you don't."
...
In the early morning of November 26, the troops arrived in Momion. After five days of repair, the paratroopers who had their bodies and consciousness left the battlefield were finally able to obtain a pass to Lance 30 kilometers away. Lance is the headquarters of General Eisenhower. When the first soldiers who obtained the pass arrived at Lance, the officers told me:
"Don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble, don't fight, don't do bad things, don't..."
In a bunch of mother-in-law's "don't" advice, the paratroopers who obtained the pass waved impatiently at the mother-in-law's officers, leaving the barracks like wild horses who wanted to escape.
"I feel... they will definitely make trouble." An officer murmured to himself as he looked at the paratroopers leaving the barracks.
"Why can't you expect something?" Wilsh complained angrily, and then said: "They probably won't, after all, Jacob is inside."
The second lieutenant who followed Vilsh secretly muttered: What kind of ability does this guy named Jacob have? No, everyone in the company protects him, and the officers still trust him extremely...
With some ulterior motive, the lieutenant thought: It would be better to make trouble hard and let them see how annoying the guy they trust extremely!
Zheng Yingqi didn't know that someone was cursing him behind him. He was curious about the liberation of France. To be honest, among the five major gangsters, he felt that France was actually the most unworthy one. I won't talk about the United States and the Soviet Union. They have the confidence that Britain was not conquered by the German cavalry by the strait. In addition, it was an empire that the sun never set. Although the sun set, compared with other brothers in distress, it was one of the five majors after the war, and it was also a good idea.
As a spectator, Zheng Yingqi felt that the army should not release the energetic soldiers from the barracks, and should use various methods to consume abundant energy, such as five-kilometer cross-country, such as baseball, basketball, and rugby.
Thinking of various ways to consume the soldiers' energy, Zheng Yingqi wondered if he told Wilsh about this idea? He just didn't know how those guys in the company would despair after they learned that they could not go out...
Thinking of those guys' dissatisfied expressions, Zheng Yingqi couldn't help laughing. It's quite interesting.
But his smile made several drunken guys from the 82nd Division next door unhappy. One of the drunkards yelled at Zheng Yingqi: "Hey, chicken, why are you laughing with malicious intentions? I hate you the most with a slight smile like you!"
Zheng Yingqi glanced at the other party and saw that it was a few drunks and was too lazy to pay attention to it. After seeing Zheng Yingqi ignore it, the other party thought that Zheng Yingqi was cowardly, but instead continued to say it proudly - it was nothing more than that his colleagues despise his colleagues.
At this time, Gordon, who was refreshed, came over. He was full of cheap perfume and was about to recommend the girl he met to Zheng Yingqi when he heard several people next door cursing all kinds of dirty swearing at the 101st Division. Gordon, who was already a little drunk, picked up the wine bottle without hesitation and smashed it on one of them.
【Real man, just fuck it!】
Zheng Yingqi commented on Gordon's behavior - this kind of fighting scene cannot arouse the sage's fighting spirit.
“Beautiful job!”
"Wow! Handsome!"
"pretty!"
"Come on again!"
Sure enough, since ancient times, the lively type has always been a type that is not a big deal, and the crowds around immediately became noisy.
The paratroopers of the 82nd Division who were beaten will naturally not suffer such a loss. Several people surrounded Gordon, but Gordon was not fighting alone. There were also a few paratroopers who had not found the girl to go to support him immediately. I don’t know what to do. More and more people participated in the war. In the end, even Zheng Yingqi had to join the battle - the military police who wanted to stop the fight was blocked outside by the crowd watching the fun. By the time the military police rushed out of the crowd, the battle had evolved into a team battle between the 82nd Division and the 101st Division.
You can lose money, but you must not lose in team battles!
With this idea in mind, the energetic two parties found their opponents based on their armbands and performed a wonderful and unlimited fighting group battle for the melon-eating crowd. Before the reinforcements of the military police arrived, Zheng Yingqi successfully led the team to leave the battlefield, leaving only a group of confused 82nd Division unlucky men arrested by the military police.
On the way back, the group of blue-faced soldiers blew proudly all the way, and only a few paratroopers who didn't find the girl were cursing.
Fighting is the best way for men to enhance their relationship, but it is also one of the most worrying problems for officers.
Four days later, the vacation was completely cancelled. The officers who did not offer advice also came up with ways to use various activities to squeeze the full energy of the paratroopers, which made Zheng Yingqi see the indignant expressions of countless paratroopers who were dissatisfied with their wishes.
In such an atmosphere, the paratroopers were happily waiting for the arrival of Christmas - although this Christmas will not be spent in Berlin, everyone was full of expectations for this festival.
