Chapter 314 Why did you come

The town of Boucheroue is gradually immersed in the depressing dark night. It is difficult for the brothers of Company E to calm down the anger accumulated by the scene they saw during the day. Although they live in a comfortable German room, these Germans can no longer get their favor. They are leaving tomorrow, and everything here will be taken over by other troops. So the brothers made trouble in the house to their heart's content. They smashed everything that could be moved in the room to vent their anger against the Germans.

The battalion is still set up in the German general's wife's house. The old woman appeared once at the beginning, but was commanded by Lieutenant Compton to leave like a dog. It never appeared again.

"Dick, I have received a notice from the division department. Such concentration camps are constantly being found everywhere. God, the Russians seem to have found a bigger and more miserable one. Major Parks sat at the table, drinking the good wine treasured in the old woman's house, and looked at Major Winters, Nixon and Wales.

"Wor worse than this?" Lieutenant Wales looked at Major Parks and couldn't help frowning. Major Winters, who was writing something on the other side of the table, also turned his head to look at Major Parks. Because those paperwork have always been handled by Major Parks. He is not sure about this matter. Lieutenant Compton had fallen asleep. He drank too much and scolded the Germans for an hour or two. Finally, he was drunk and fell asleep. No one touched him, so he let him sleep at the table. No one wants to move.

"It's ten times bigger than this. Toxic gas chamber and stove. It's used to incinerate corpses!" Parks's words were very low, and he still couldn't forget the hellish scene he saw during the day.

"Oh my God!" Nixon couldn't help breathing. He didn't look good. "The local residents said that they never knew there was such a concentration camp. They all said, "We're exaggerating!"

"Okay, okay, they will have a shocking education tomorrow!" Major Winters sneered, "General Taylor declared martial law about an hour ago. The healthy townspeople aged 14 to 80 in the town were ordered to help bury the bodies and clean up the debris. It will start tomorrow morning. The 10th Armored Division will supervise the clean-up work.

"What about us?" Captain Wales looked at Major Winters.

"We? We will leave for Taran at 12 noon tomorrow!" Winters looked at the order on the table and nodded, "We're going to get out of here."

"This is really a very good arrangement!" Nixon sneered and sarcastically, and then said to Winters, "I'm not talking about you, Dick, I'm talking about this order!" With that, he took a bottle of wine from the closet next to him, then looked up and took a big sip. When he released it again, his eyes began to turn red.

"Bastard!" Captain Wales scolded. But I don't know if he is scolding the division or the Germans. But his expression is very abnormal. Everyone's heart is like a big stone.

The next morning, all the residents of Landsberg, including the residents of the town of Buchlawe, were dispatched. They came to the concentration camp with rakes, brooms and shovels. Even in the actions of these Germans, some people whispered complaints were heard. Parks can only look at it angrily. When these Germans see the situation in the concentration camp, they will feel that nothing has been exaggerated. Anyway, the language can't make it clear. The miserable situation is not enough to be said in a few words.

When Captain Nixon left, he went to the concentration camp to have a look. Many German residents, with their hands along their noses, looked rushed and shocked. This scene shocked these Germans. They really don't know that there is such a concentration camp here, but such a concentration camp does exist. [ ***] The stench permeated the concentration camp, and many people kept vomiting. As they moved the bodies, they covered their noses with handkerchiefs. An old German man couldn't help crying. More is the expression of pain on the face.

"Woo-woo--" There was a German woman crying. Her husband supported her, and then let her sit aside and continue to carry the bodies by herself. The crying of the German woman attracted the sound of choling nearby. This kind of human hell is a huge shock to everyone, and it is the same for these German residents who think their lives are peaceful.

Nixon saw the old woman of the general's family again. She was staggering to move a thin and skinny body, but she couldn't move it and almost fell down. She saw Nixon when she looked up inadvertently. Her eyes are no longer domineering, no longer noble and inviolable. She dodged in a hurry, trying to avoid Nixon's serious anger. Nixon's gaze made her at a loss.

Nixon didn't ask her to argue anything. It's not necessary. He just wants to take a look at this hellish place again, and the people here, and also to see how these Germans will feel about such a scene.

The carriage was full of corpses, and they were transported out one after another. These dead people will be respected again, and they will be respected again after they die. This is not only necessary, but also necessary.

Every German looking at Nixon and the U.S. military that supervised them was dodging. They feel guilty in their hearts. Some Germans look sad and angry, and they still have some conscience. But the suffering still exists. And it has already happened.

Nixon didn't stay too much. He stopped there quietly, then looked at all this, turned around silently, and then drove the jeep out of the place. Maybe I will meet such a place again. But the war began to come to an end. Perhaps for people like them, this is the best result and the result that everyone yearns for.

"E Company brothers, get ready to get on the bus!" Sergeant Li Pu was greeting the brothers of the company loudly. But many brothers are still slushing. It's not that they don't want to leave, but that they don't have the mood. All the good moods when experiencing Germany have been swept away by this concentration camp.

"We were in hell yesterday." Webster was the first to jump into the truck. He groped his legs repeatedly with his hands. "I can't imagine yesterday's scene. If it's a dream, it's just a nightmare. I didn't expect that someone would treat their peers like this. I decided that from this moment on, I will hate those Nazis all my life.

Py Kanti also climbed into the truck. He shook his head at Webster and said, "You haven't seen the women's camp yet, have you? Early this morning, the people of the 10th Armored Division found a women's concentration camp at the next station of the train. They said it was far more tragic. To be honest, I can't imagine what this tragic scene should be like. Oh my God!" With that, Pakon covered his face with his hands.

Soldiers keep climbing up on the truck. Li Gaote was the last one to climb up. He looks very haggard. It is said that he smashed everything in the house he lived in last night, and then rushed to the street and beat a middle-aged German man who was passing by. I almost shot the unlucky guy.

"Pakante patted Li Gaote's thigh as a sign of comfort. Everyone knows that Li Gaote is Jewish, and this sign makes Li Gaote feel extremely sad and painful today. Later, he drank again and cried bitterly in the room.

"Li Gaote, everything will be fine. They have been rescued!" Kanty said something to him, but then he didn't know how to comfort Li Gaote. So he said something and fell silent.

Li Gaoqi nodded, then covered his face with his hands and rubbed his face. His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he did not sleep all night. On the other side, the brothers are still climbing on other trucks. They are going to leave here and move forward.

Major Parks suddenly said to Winters, "Let me drive!" "Dick!" With that, he got to the cab and started the car. The long-rowing team began to move forward. Parks circled the jeep in place and followed the truck in front of him. And they saw almost all the trucks in the carriages, and the brothers looked straight at the concentration camp where the Jews were once held. There seems to be smoke rising there.

"I think the war is coming to an end." Nixon took a sip of wine and then looked at the town of Boucheroue, which was getting farther and farther away. "Is the war really God punished us?"

"I don't know, Nick!" The Welsh captain's body kept shaking as the jeep walked, "I don't know. It's not up to us. The war is decided by the bigwigs. Or war, or peace. God sent these people to punish us. It all depends on the preferences of these big shots. They play with human beings like a palm.

Then there was a silence, and no one spoke. When the motorcade bypassed a corner and could no longer see the town of Boucheroue, Winters suddenly said, "My God, I still have the shadows of those hungry and confused people in front of me, and I can't get rid of it at all. I think this feeling will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. I heard Webster a few days ago, and he was asking why he dragged us here from half the earth. That's why. Now, I think I understand why I'm here!"

Yes, why did they come here? In fact, Parks has known it for a long time. It's just that the big shots don't think about this. As their lower-level officers of fighting soldiers, their understanding is simpler. Why did they come? Major Winters gave his reasons. Maybe many soldiers of Company E think so now. But Parks's reasons are different. Why did he come? Parks can't answer himself. He hasn't given his own answer like Winters.

The convoy went farther and farther. Between the road trees on both sides of the green road, next to the towering and beautiful mountains, they were moving forward...
