Chapter 285 Return
In the morning, the wind and snow stopped unexpectedly, and a ray of sunlight tore the thick clouds, making the snow not far away reflect dazzling light. The snow after walking out of the forest looks very empty, which swept away the depression and haze in the gray forest before. The traces of wheels and footprints on the snow have been covered up. But it doesn't affect the road to Noville Town that they can see at a glance. They will cross this open area and enter the town of Noville.
It's time to return to the U.S. military camp, and these U.S. soldiers, who were originally prisoners, burst into cheers. The town of Noville in front of them looked so friendly, and the two-mile journey did not seem far away, and some people even began to run. It's just that they are already very weak. After a few steps, someone fell on the snow, gasped, and then laughed at the sky. This is the result of a miracle of resurreation after rapid fermentation in their hearts.
German prisoners walked slowly in a column. Despite Captain Parks's assurance, they are still worried about the unknown future. Second Lieutenant Elder walked in silence, with Rittel beside him. He looked at Ritter and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it after all. It was already the result. What else could he say? Perhaps this result is already the best result.
"Second Lieutenant, I can guarantee that our choice is not wrong. I believe that Captain Parks is a trustworthy person, not to mention that we have no mistakes. We are not executioners!" Ritter seemed to see Second Lieutenant Elder's worry and couldn't help saying a few words of relief. But in this case, whether it works or not depends on what they get in the end. What will the U.S. military do with them? Ritter was not sure. Although he played a key role in the whole process of inciting the surrender of the German army, he could not guarantee what kind of result he would eventually get. Can Captain Parks's guarantee be realized?
Secondnant Elder just nodded slightly. He didn't say anything. Little's words could not comfort anyone, including himself. He looked at the town of Noville, which was getting closer and closer, and his heart couldn't help hanging up slowly.
They moved forward like this until they met the U.S. military patrol outside Novill Town. The patrol team is from the E Company of the Second Battalion. Leading these people was Sergeant Landorman, and ten of them were setting out for the open space of the forest in the snow. Landorman looked a little slow with a cigar in his gar. Yesterday, he found a lot of beer in Noville Town, and then drank a little drunk with the brothers in the company. Many people in the company are like this now. They search for everything they think is valuable in the town of Novill, although it has been raided once by the German army. Wine is their most popular trophy. Unfortunately, when they were drunk yesterday, they were found by Lieutenant Spher. As a punishment for them, Spher decided to let them come out early in the morning to patrol around the town of Noville.
"I swear, Lieutenant Sbier is just for revenge!" Sergeant Malachi bit his head at Sergeant Landorman and said, "He knew that I said that he had killed the prisoners, so he did it. White, don't you think so? He is an officer with a strong sense of revenge. To be honest, I don't like him.
"I don't like him either! Malaqi." White looked around, with a rifle, and followed Landorman step by step. "Da Niu, he said that he had said bad things about Lieutenant Spiel. Maybe we were all involved by him. I really shouldn't have invited Malaki for the beer last night. This is your mistake, Da Niu!"
"Well, it's all my fault!" Malaqi couldn't help staring at White.
"You have to be careful, Malaki. If you accidentally commit something in his hand, be careful that he shot you. There is another thing you have definitely not heard of. He shot a sergeant who refused to carry out his orders!" Chris Denson beside him smiled and said, "Maybe one day you will be shot down."
"Damn it, it's not a joke!" Malaqi couldn't help scolding, but it made everyone laugh. He had to change the topic and said, "Hantically, of all the company commanders, I still miss Lieutenant Parks the most. He was with us. I was a private soldier with him. When I was a non-commissioned officer with him, I trained with him, and I also fought with him when I was an officer. To be honest, no one in the later company commander had such an experience with his brothers!"
"Do you still need to say this?" White laughed. Captain Parks had the best relationship with him. Among the soldiers, and the relationship between the two did not change because of their superiors and subordinates. Instead, he kept getting close in the battle. "He is the best officer, but he was injured. God, I really want to see him, but Lieutenant Spiel won't give me a vacation.
The group kept talking and laughing in the slow patrol. They didn't have to worry about the German artillery here, and they didn't have to worry about the German patrol. The whole patrol is just walking around and then going back.
"I can't imagine that we survived Bastogne!" Daniel Lan Daman took a sip of his cigar and suddenly said, "If it weren't for Captain Parks, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy!" We spent a long time in hell. Now I can finally return to the world for a few days.
"Don't mention Baststone, big cow. I don't want to talk about this topic!" Malachi didn't say a word, then took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and took one that fell into his mouth. White behind him immediately rushed over and took the cigarette he was holding.
When Malachi was about to turn his head, he suddenly heard the shout of the big cow Randerman who had been watching in front of him: "Get down! Down on your stomach! I found a group of people!" With that, the whole body rushed forward. Everyone reacted quickly. They climbed down quickly. Because White was too panicked, he lay down in the opposite direction and kicked Malachi's buttocks, which made him scold him, "Damn it!"
"I'm sorry, man!" White adjusted his posture, quickly climbed to the side of the big cow Landorman, and looked forward. He also saw a group of people on the snow in the distance ahead coming this way. And there are a lot of people, about two rows.
"Is it German?" White whispered to the big cow.
"I don't know, I'll take a look first!" With that, he took out a telescope from his arms. The characteristics of that group of people can soon be seen in the telescope, including American uniforms and German uniforms. But it seems that the German army was captured. It's just that all the U.S. military's hands are German weapons, and none of them are standard weapons of the U.S. military, which makes Da Niu Landorman feel confused!
"Are you our people?" White asked again.
"I'm not sure that they are wearing our uniforms, as if they are holding a group of German prisoners, but they are holding German guns in their hands. How can this happen?" Daniu Landauman couldn't help nagging doubtfully, and then handed the telescope to White. He shouted behind him, "Contact the company, there is a group of unidentified armed men approaching the town of Noville!" We need support!"
"Hey, wait, wait, I saw it, man, don't worry!" White suddenly shouted at the big cow Randolman, "Who did I see? Toy, Joe? Toy, my God, why is he there? Oh, and Carbo, that damn thing!"
"Okay, let me have a look!" Malaki suddenly snatched the telescope from White's hand.
"Damn it, I haven't observed it yet!"
"No, this is what I learned from you. How to get things in other people's hands!" Malachi raised his telescope and said, "And Hudson, oh, my God, it's the captain, it's the boss. Bull, God, do you know who I saw? Captain Parks. He is back, and he will continue to lead us!" With that, Malachi stuffed the telescope into White's arms, got up, and ran towards the team in the distance.
"Real, I can't believe it!" White took the telescope and looked at it again, and then got up and rushed out. It has been confirmed that it was Captain Parks, who was walking towards the town of Noville with a group of U.S. troops and German prisoners.
"Da Niu, do you still need to contact the company?"
"Of course, the company commander is back. Do you want to contact the company?" Da Niu Landorman said and patted the helmet of the messenger behind him, and also got up. Then he left a small piece of cigar in the snow, followed and ran behind Malachi.
Toi took the lead in front of him and saw a group of people running towards them from afar! He immediately squatted down and raised his fist. All the troops stopped immediately, and both the U.S. and the Germans quickly squatted down. Carbo immediately hooked himself and quickly ran to Toy's side and said, "Is it our man?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure that Noville Town has been occupied by us. It should be our people, but it's better to be cautious!" Toy said.
Captain Parks bent down and followed quickly from behind, and then patted Toi's arm and said, "What's going on?"
"Someone in front of us is running towards us." Toy pointed to several figures running towards them in front of him and said, "I'm not sure if they are our people!"
Parks looked in the direction he pointed, gestured to Toy and others, and then said to Toy, "Stay here, I'll go and have a look!" With that, he rushed forward on the snow. In a while, he came back and smiled at Toy and said, "You can't imagine who those people are. They all know you, and you know them!" Then he looked at Toy's puzzled look and laughed, "It's the person of E Company!"
"God!" Cap got up and smiled, "I knew for a long time that it should be our people. Toy was too cautious!"
"Shut up!" Toy looked at Kabo angrily.
Da Niu Landowman, White, Malachi and others appeared in front of Parks. White ran in the front. He saw Parks, opened his hands, and the two gave a big hug.
"Head, I'm so happy to see you. It feels like I've been waiting for a long time!" Toy smiled, but what he said was from the bottom of his heart. Without the E company led by Captain Parks, everyone felt that they had lived for a long time.
"Head, I'm so glad to see you!" Da Niu and others shook hands with Parks one by one, and then said hello to Toy, Carber and Hudson. Obviously, the return of Parks was their surprise, which also made them suddenly full of confidence in the future battle.
"It feels so good!" Toy and Landorman gave a chest salute and laughed.
"How does it feel?"
"The feeling of going home!" Toy smiled and said, "It's the feeling of going home with the boss!"
