Chapter 49 Prologue begins

At 4:00 p.m. on June 4, 1944, Portery Airport, United Kingdom.

"If you haven't signed in your soldier's life insurance, go to the headquarters office to find Sergeant Evans." Parks walked around the brothers who were tidying up their clothes, shouting loudly, "Go to the headquarters office now to find Sergeant Evans!" Don't let your family lose 10,000 yuan.

"Toy, don't complain about your outfit there. Go and sign it. I know you haven't yet!" Parks is facing Joe, who is complaining that he is too heavily equipped? Toy shouted.

"I see, Parks!" Joe? Toy waved the tiger ring on his hand, "I'm telling Paconti how I'm going to smash the German's head with the tiger ring. Look, Pyconti, it's so cool!"

Pagandy ignored him at all, because he was complaining to Parks: "God knows why they are tying these ghosts to us now. Are we going to jump today?"

"A matter of time!" Parks smiled, "You just need to remember that the 80-pound equipment tied to your legs is for your combat use. It's best not to lose it when skydiving."

At this time, they saw Sergeant Evans coming over with a pile of leaflets.

"This is what Colonel Sink gave you, one for everyone!" Evans distributed one by one.

Picandy took it over and unfolded, and heard a sound not far away. The three of them looked at it at the same time. It turned out that Luz was learning Colonel Sink's tone and reading the letter with great interest.

"Brothers in the group: Tonight is a special night. When you read this letter, you are on the journey of great adventure, for which you have been trained for more than two years. Now the eyes of the whole world are looking at you... I wish you success. May God be with you excellent soldiers!"

"Hey, I got this!" At this time, White found Parks, and he raised the jar in his hand.

Pakandy looked at it, then untied the jar, and stirred it with his fingers.

"This bottle is black, this bottle is green!" White was very excited. "I think we can have a cool dress. Do you know the Indians and Sioux of little Bighorn? Hey hey, just paint this. It's a symbol of courage and ferocity. With that, White dipped his fingers in the paint and began to draw vertical strips on his face.

"Yes, it's really cool!" Joe? Toy also began to smear it with his fingers. And Kanti is naturally not willing to lag behind. The three of them spent a lot of money in a while, especially Pai Khandi, who simply painted it into a black face.

"Hey, Parks, why don't you apply it?" Seeing that Parks just smiled and watched them busy, he was a little puzzled, "Don't you think I'm much cooler than you after applying it?"

Parks laughed and said, "It's not the right time, Kanty." Then he looked up at the sky and said, "Look at the sky. With such thick clouds, do you still think we will land on the French beach tonight? I don't want to wash my face after dinner!"

When the three of them heard it, they couldn't help but stop together, and then looked up at the sky. Sure enough, it was so.

"Cunning guy!" White sighed. .

That day, all the brothers enjoyed a good meal.

"Steak, green beans, mashed potatoes, white bread!" Carbo held the plate and screamed, "God, there's ice cream and coffee. The most important thing is that I can eat as much as I want.

"Can this be seen as the last generous of the British?" Parks sat next to Capor and smiled, "We went to France for a free fall."

"That's why they gave us ice cream!" Malaki also came over with a plate. He liked steak.

This dinner was very rich, and the brothers also ate very well. Many people hold the same heart as Kaber. Even if it's dead, they have to eat a good meal before. Maybe it's a gun to eat later.

"I can't jump tonight!" Lieutenant Meehan came out of the regimental headquarters, called Winters, and walked straight to the airport. "Dick, maybe it's tomorrow, but I'm not sure."

"I hope so!" That's all Winters can say.

Lieutenant Mihan came to the place where Company E gathered at the airport, then climbed into a jeep, stood in front of the car and said loudly, "Brothers of Company E, pay attention."

All the brothers who had just finished dinner and were waiting to board the plane stood up. They looked at Lieutenant Mihan and were in a different mood. They thought they would issue an order to board the plane.

"It's raining and foggy across the strait, and tonight's skydiving has been cancelled!" Lieutenant Mihan said seriously, "The landing operation has been delayed. We are now on 24-hour standby."

"Shit!" Gnauri cursed in a low voice, and he felt that there was a feeling of anger that had nowhere to vent.

At night, E went to a square tent to watch a movie. Is that Gary? Grant and Laileen? Mr. Lucky starring Dai. During the screening, the air was very stuffy. Many people were not thinking about the movie, and they sat there with their own thoughts. Winters sat in the tent for a while and slipped out. Now he has no idea about the movie at all.

Night has come, and the tents around are hidden in the night.

"The weather is going to clear up!" As he passed a tent, a voice suddenly came. Winters turned his head. By the faint light, he could see that it was Nixon. He was holding a small wine bottle and leaning against the battle box.

"Do you think it will clear up?" Winters looked up. He only saw the dark sky and couldn't distinguish anything.

Nixon came over and walked side by side with him: "Yes, it's going to clear up." Then he turned his head and looked at Winters: "How's your brother's preparation?"

"They have no problem!" Winters just glanced at him.

The two of them walked in the camp like this. They didn't have a purpose, but just wanted to walk.

"It's five o'clock in New York, and four o'clock in Chicago!" Nixon looked at the watch. With the night light on the watch, he knew where the pointer was pointing.

"Your happy time?" Winters smiled. At this time, the two found a place to sit down.

"Yes, civilized people enjoy the time of civilization!" Nixon took a sip of wine, "But he is also from Chicago!"

"Who?" Winters was stunned and nodded, "I know. It's him, Saber!"

"We still suffered 712 days from him, and we finally got through it!" Nixon smiled. At this point, Winters couldn't help smiling.

The night gradually thickened. This was the last night when the E Company brothers were on the battlefield.

On the afternoon of June 5, 1944, the wind gradually stopped. The sky was slightly clear.

At 8:30 p.m., press a group of 18 people in a row, line up according to the plane you want to get on, and walk to the hangar step by step. The team was dull, and all the people did not speak. This was a road to an unknown future, either death or suffering or glory and victory. As they passed by the British anti-aircraft artillery, the British looked at them quietly, and some raised their hands to salute. Then all the brothers sat quietly in front of the plane waiting to board.

"Good luck, brothers. God bless you. See you in the assembly area!" Parks tried his best to calm his voice, but in fact, his own heart beat fast. He was the skydiver of the plane, and he decided to send the brothers on the plane in person.

He nodded to his brothers and then walked to the front Joe? In front of Toy, he stretched out his hand and pulled him up and saw him walk to the door of the cabin. Then he walked to the second soldier and pulled him up.

Parks picked up every brother and sent them on the plane. The brothers looked at him deeply at the moment they stood up. Parks knew that they were grateful and trusted him.

Everyone didn't say anything in the whole process. They just completed the tacit understanding in a moment, and then boarded the plane. Maybe they were too nervous, medical officer Luo? Cooper stepped empty on the gangway.

But he immediately felt that his back was held, and several hands stretched out at the same time, held him firmly, and then pushed him to the door of the cabin.

Parks finally boarded the plane. When his hand grabbed the cabin door, several hands stretched out at the same time. Parks nodded to them, then grabbed the outstretched hand and boarded the plane with all his strength.

The engine of the plane roared, and the airport staff below raised their hands high to them. They expressed their blessings with "V" gestures one by one.

C-47 began to taxi on the runway, getting faster and faster, and then the nose was raised and the plane took off. Gradually, it flew higher and higher, and under the whole night, they rushed to the sky one by one. The whole sky is full of a huge "V" formation.

Operation Overlord kicked off!
