Chapter 48 Before Airborne
Chapter 48 Before the airborne
The ten-mile range near Erpotree Airport has become a large barracks. There are minaret-like tents everywhere. There are also brothers disguised as Germans walking around the camp.
"Malaki, look at those guys, they are here in German clothes." Hubler looked at several guys in German officer uniforms with pistols on their waists, and said unwillingly.
"Is that Luger?" Malachi's eyes were a little bright, and he had already set his mind to find a Luger to collect a gun on the battlefield.
Hubler laughed and said, "Wait, I'll say hello!" With that, he walked past the guys disguised as Germans passing by and greeted them from afar.
"Hey, which company are you from? I'm not very familiar with it, buddy!" Hubler stepped forward and said with a laugh.
The guy in the uniform of a German officer laughed and said, "We are British, not damn Germans. What's wrong? Did it scare you? These are all sewn from Herman's tailor shop.
"Is that Luger?" Hubler pointed to the guy's waist and smiled eagerly, "I seem to touch the real Luger pistol."
"Of course!" The guy took out the Luger pistol and handed it to Hubler. Looking at Hubler's expectant eyes, he smiled proudly and said, "It's really a good gun, isn't it?"
Hubler took it over, rubbed it repeatedly, then raised the gun and made a aiming gesture.
"Good boy, it's great!"
The guy still smiled proudly: "This is a high-end product."
Hubler nodded and said, "That's right, what a beautiful baby!" Then he turned around and walked towards Marage and shouted, "Hey, Marage, this is the real Luger!" With that, he raised the gun in his hand.
"Hey, man, don't make an inch!" The guy couldn't help frowning.
Hurborough was stunned and couldn't help laughing. He walked back and said, "I'm sorry, buddy, I'll give it back to you!" He reluctantly returned the gun to the guy.
"I will have a hand one day!" Hubler looked at the guys walking away and said reluctantly, "I promise that my gun must have been seized by the green onion Germans, and then you guys will die of shame!"
"But I think I should get it before you!" Malaki laughed with a heg. Then he patted Hubler on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be depressed. Let's go to the canteen. This time I want to eat roast chicken, preferably fruit cocktail."
The canteens are those places with square tents.
"Children, eat more. Eat whatever you want. You can eat whatever you want. The fat chef with a beard always smiles. "After roasting chicken, you can also have some juice dessert or something."
"I like butter and white bread!" Carbo took the plate and said to Parks, "I think I have to eat something else, roast chicken? Or fruit wine." When Capper said this, he was already shy.
"Don't be too much, Kabo!" Parks can't help but be funny.
"I know, but I still have to eat!" Kabo smiled and said, "I feel like I'm being fattened, and then waiting to be sent to the slaughterhouse. However, I need to eat a little more!"
"Do you want to learn from that doctor?" At this time, White, who was eating roast chicken next to him, suddenly interrupted.
Kaber suddenly blushed. He said to White with dissatisfaction, "Don't say so badly, White. If I wanted to do that, I would have done it long ago. Do I still have to wait until now?"
The doctor they were talking about, the day before, a medical officer in the battalion suddenly fell ill in the camp, and vomited and had diarrhea. Finally, he had no choice but to be sent back to the rear. But the result of the final examination was that he took some medicine himself and made himself sick. In fact, the intention is very obvious, that is, I don't want to land in France. He became a deserter.
The whole 506 regiment knows this matter. Although very few people have the same idea as the doctor, most of them regard the doctor as a joke!
On June 2, Winters was discussing with Lieutenant Mihan where to land this time. The barracks door opened. It was Lieutenant Nixon, who was already an intelligence staff officer in the battalion headquarters, and Captain Hearst, a training staff officer.
"Oh, let's see who's here!" Lieutenant Mihan smiled and asked the two to sit down. "Say it, I know yours."
"Just like Dick knows me!" Nixon joked and said to Captain Hearst, "Well, it's up to me to convey the order." With that, he took out a map and a lot of aerial photos.
"Oh, it's amazing. Roads, buildings, etc., even the scattered pits are clearly visible." Lieutenant Mihan looked through the stack of photos and whistled. He also unfolded the map, which showed the landform characteristics, houses, roads, sand dunes, etc. in detail
"E Company dropped the umbrella near Saint-Marie-de-Monte, about ten kilometers south of the Church of Notre Dame, in order to destroy the German defenders in the village and seize the exit of the No. 2 dike, that is, the road from the beach to the north of the village of Boubeville. The task of the third row is to blow up the communication line from Madrid to the mainland. Nixon Road.
"We don't have backup?" Winters suddenly asked, "Or are several companies cooperating with each other?"
"No!" Nixon couldn't help smiling, "It's up to you or God."
"This is really a good plan!" Mi Han couldn't help smiling bitterly. After the airborne, it was simply isolated and helpless. That is to say, don't expect any hostage support.
"Don't complain, Dick! This is the airborne soldiers. We should be surrounded by nature. We should have known this from the first day of entering E Company. Nixon nodded, "Maybe God will be on our side."
Who will God bless? American or German?
After reaching the company under the combat mission, the company also held a platoon-level combat meeting. Winters and other platoon commanders took their subordinates into the tents used as a brief room, showed them the sand table and maps, and introduced them what they knew.
Many people gathered in the tent and looked very hot. They took off their coats and gathered around. Then Lieutenant Mihan assigned tasks to each platoon.
"No, I'm going to pee!" At this time, Granry stood up, grabbed a piece of clothes and walked out.
After he sat down, he put his hand into his pocket and wanted to take out a cigarette, but he took out a letter.
"Dear John!" When Granary saw it, it turned out to be Sergeant Martin's letter. "It seems that this is his wife's letter." Gernelly put away the letter and touched the cigarette everywhere, but he couldn't find it. After nothing to do, he took out the letter again.
"Oh, John, don't blame me! I really have nothing to do. You know, I usually sit on the toilet and smoke. Gernelly smiled and then unfolded his heart in his hand, "Maybe I will learn how to talk sweetly to a girl from middle school!"
"Don't tell Gnari that his brother has been killed in Cassino, Italy!" As soon as Gnery thought of this, he was suddenly stunned. He felt that his mind seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Damn German devils!" Granary gritted his teeth hard, "Wait and see, I'll let you bastards, demons and bitches go to hell together."
When Granry returned to the tent, his face was always gloomy. Of course, only Martin knew the reason.
"Did you see it all?" After the meeting, Martin deliberately walked with Gnauri.
"Yes, I saw it, Martin! I will let the bunch of bitches look good to the German devils!" Gernelly was angry. "I can't wait to go to the battlefield now. Fly, fly, fly to Berlin. I'm going to kill them all."
"Don't get excited, brother!" Martin stepped forward and squeezed his hand. "There will be a day when you and your brothers will help you together and kill those bitches!"
Parks watched the two of them talking there from afar, and Gernelly looked sad and angry, and he knew what had happened. Grenari knew about his brother.
"Gernel, what's the matter?" Parks stepped forward and asked.
Gerry has a good impression of Parks, and even if Martin tells Parks the matter, he has no problem. He just showed a fierce light in his eyes.
"Don't tell other brothers!" Parks suddenly whispered to Martin.
"I know." Martin nodded.
At this time, the sunset had already enveloped the whole airport in Erpotree. People outside the noisy military camp around have entered the camp one after another. Parks patted the two on the shoulder, "Let's go!"
Gernelly stared at the air fiercely, and then turned back to the tent with Martin.
Parks looked up at the sky, but it was still cloudy. Today is June 3rd. In more than a day, I will take off from here and then land in France against the sea.
At night, it is like a giant beast, opening its huge mouth and swallowing it around with darkness.
Normandy, like a quiet girl, quietly waiting for the beautiful parachute flowers that are about to land from the air.
