Chapter 346 Return

"I don't want it to be a draw. They cheated!" White twisted around in his seat with some dissatisfaction. He was still angry about what happened yesterday. He said to Pakante, who was sitting opposite him, "Frank, you know I don't like a draw. The head hit the bullet shell in the center of the target with one shot, which is much more difficult than hitting the center of the target!"

"I don't want to hear you complain. There's nothing to complain about. We all win in the way. Their people don't participate in gambling. What can we get? This is the boss's decision. He said that it used a sniper rifle, which was invincible! It's that simple!" Pai Kandi sneered at White, and then surrendered his eyes out of the window. The scenery outside the window kept flying back with the sound of "kaka" and "kakaka".

A train drove out of Liaoyuan and then sped towards Shenyang. On the evening of the same day, Parks and others got the news that the Soviet army had occupied Shenyang and contacted them, willing to assist them to go to Yucheng. Parks was ordered that the York City aircraft carrier would be sent to pick up General Wiwright and leave first.

Yesterday's thing was more like a competitive test, but Parks even face was the first problem for the Chinese. He could have won the soldier, but he chose the dominant sniper rifle, but he did hit the shell case he picked up by Wang Yaping and put it in the bullseye position he hit. He shot quickly and basically shot without aiming. The bullet hit the shell casing and penetrated the target. When there was an obvious advantage in shooting, Parks said that the two had reached a draw on the grounds that the weapon was dominant, and the final result was that everyone was happy. If you want to get the help of Zhang Dahai, you can't do too much on it. You have to leave room. But everyone in his heart knew who was more powerful. Even Wang Yaping, after that, he no longer said anything in front of the sea and hid when he saw Parks.

After contacting the Soviet Union the next day, Parks occupied the railway station and mobilized the only freight train, enough for them to transport more than 1,700 people to Shenyang.

The scenery kept flying, sitting in the only covered carriage. The generals and governors seemed silent. After the initial excitement, they began to think about what to do in the future. After all, they were captured by the Japanese army and subjected to inhuman torture, which made them full of unknowns about their future life and did not know what kind of treatment the country would give them. No one can tell them all this.

As the train kept moving forward, Parks obviously felt that the expressions of General Wainwright and General Parker had become gloomy, even full of uneasiness. General Wainwright, in particular, was no longer the calm look when he was just rescued. He touched the armrest of the seat with his hand uneasily, and his eyes flashed and even dared not face Parks.

"General, what's wrong with you?" Parks looked at General Winwright and couldn't help coming over and sitting down opposite him. "If you need anything, I hope I can help you!"

"I--" General Wwright said a word, and then hesitated and paused. After a moment of hesitation, he finally summoned up his courage and said, "Will I be sent to military court for treason when I return to China? I failed and chose to surrender. It's my fault to let tens of thousands of U.S. troops become prisoners of war and torture them to death!" When he said this, he looked very decaden, and his thin face gradually turned pale. "When I was in the prisoner-of-war camp, I didn't think about it, but now we're going back. I can't think about these things. I think this is my sin!" After saying that, he sighed heavily.

"No, General!" Parks stretched out his hand and gently put it on General Wwright's uneasily moving hand on the armrest. "It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. Although some people were tortured to death, some people survived because of it. You saved the lives of many people, which is the most important thing. You are not a war criminal, you are a hero!"

"Hero?" Wwright had a wry smile on the corners of his mouth, but Parks's words seemed to open a gap in his heart these days, and his tears couldn't help flowing down. Yes, he chose to surrender, but he also saved most people's lives. The prisoners of war in the Philippines have long been liberated, and there are always more people living than dead.

"Thank you, Major Parks!" General Wwright nodded to Parks, and his heart suddenly had a little comfort. Yes, although he chose the most disgraceful way for soldiers - surrender, he saved the lives of most soldiers. This was their luck and General Wwright's luck.

"It's nothing, General. It's the truth. You saved a lot of people!" Parks smiled, "General MacArthur asked you to fly to the York City aircraft carrier after you go to Shenyang, where you will go to Tokyo Bay to witness the surrender ceremony! This is a great honor, General. This is the respect for you by the soldiers of the whole country!"

"Real is it? Really?" General Wwright wiped his tears with his hand. He wiped his tears directly with his hand without even took out a handkerchief. This was undoubtedly a gaffe for a very ceremonial general. His lips trembled slightly, and then he nodded gently, "Reese, you are a good officer. The U.S. military can have something like you. It's a great honor for such a soldier!" With that, the other hand gently patted Parks on the back of his injured hand.

"Have a good rest, General!" Parks nodded gently to General Wainwright, and then got up to leave. He didn't know how to say to General Wainwright, but he knew that he would be one of the only two U.S. generals to participate in the surrender ceremony of the Japanese army after being captured. He would witness the moment he signed the historical surname of the surrender. In the face of respect and honor, he is a hero. Even the prisoners are qualified to be heroes, and they have also made their own contributions to the war.

Parks walked to an open-air carriage, where rows of soldiers were either sitting or lying horizontally. The carriage was originally for transporting goods and arms and supplies. It was relatively spacious and covered with straw, which made the soldiers feel very comfortable to lie or sit. Parks walked towards Wales, who was chatting with his brothers, and sat next to him.

"How's the conversation with the big shots?" Captain Wales looked at Parks sitting down and couldn't help laughing and said, "To be honest, those people are the purpose of our coming this time, but it's just a trip. In fact, if I didn't know Chinese, I might like this place. Les, thinking that we are going home, I really miss Dick and others! "

"Dick?" Parks nodded, "Yes, it feels like I haven't seen him and Nick for a long time. Will they come to the Pacific Ocean? Of course, I have surrendered now. Maybe I can't come!" The words of Wales made Parks suddenly. Yes, now that the war is over, how are the brothers? He knew that his brothers would return to China one after another. Even if they stayed, they would definitely be recruits. At this time, General Taylor had probably been transferred to the army department. If General Taylor left, would the 101st Airborne Division be disbanded as in history, and then some would be willing to leave the army? What about the members of the 82nd Airborne Division? Parks can't answer himself. Everything has to wait until he returns to China to understand!

The speed of the train gradually slowed down. They approached Shenyang and were heading for the station. The American soldiers looked out of the carriage and saw that there were already a pair of people in Soviet military uniforms patrolling along the station. Obviously, because of the arrival of the train Come on, on the railway line entering the station, the Soviet army arranged posts and patrol soldiers.

"Russians!" Carbo suddenly shouted in the carriage. He pointed to the Soviet soldiers with rifles on their backs and looked at them with strange and curious eyes. He couldn't help shouting, as if he had found something new.

"I know, man, don't panic. We are allies with them now, and they won't do anything to us!" Malachi squeezed his lips and couldn't help shouting to Cap, "Be careful, don't say anything wrong. I don't want to make any trouble!"

"Okay, okay, Malaqi, but even if I speak, can they understand?" Carbo smiled, then poked out his head, laughed and waved to a Soviet soldier not far away, and shouted with a very enthusiastic look, "Hey, Russian, I said let you go to hell!" After saying that, he laughed.

Obviously, the Russian soldier didn't know what he said. Seeing him waving at himself with a smile, he also smiled, waved to Kabo desperately, and kept shouting something loudly. Then he watched the train slowly pass by his side with an inexplicable face. Does this guy know me? Or do I know this American?

Kaber shrank his head back, and then looked at Marage with a proud smile and said, "Look, what I said. They don't know what I'm talking about at all. Now you don't have to worry about it!"

Malachi shook his head and said, "Yes, yes, Kaber, I know he can't understand what you're saying, but you don't know what he's talking about. Maybe the guy just said, 'Hey, that American, I just greeted the female surname in his family, and he giggled at me. This is really stupid, that poor thing! " With that, Malaqi couldn't help laughing.

But in any case, the train slowly drove into Shenyang Railway Station. In the station, there were all Soviet soldiers with live ammunition. Their queues were strict and they seemed very imposing. Of course, Parks knew that this was shown to these Americans, and they were also showing off their military strength to them, and these For Parks, it can only be laughed at.

At this time, a Russian colonel came over with several entourage, and his partner was General Wiwright and his party. Through the translation, General Wiwright finally knew that the major was called Yevlović, and he was the representative who came to receive them. General Wiwright smiled at him politely and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Colonel, if it's about the arrangement of our people, you shouldn't ask me, but ask our person in charge of this operation, Major Parks!" With that, he pointed to Major Parks and smiled.

"But you are General Wwright, aren't you? Only you are mentioned in our reception task!" The colonel looked at Major Parks and shook his head unconsciously, "I acted as ordered, General!"

General Wwright shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Colonel, I'm just a member of the U.S. military now, and the major is the commander of this team. I can only obey his orders. If you obey, so do I!" With that, he shut up and stopped talking, and then turned his eyes to Parks.

The Russian colonel had no choice but to shake his head. Obviously, he didn't understand why a general willingly accepted the command of a major, but he still came over and shook hands with Parks and said, "You are all strange people, but I hope our cooperation will be pleasant. Mr. Major!"

"Of course!" Major Parks was not humble. He nodded and then said to the colonel, "We also hope to return to our base as soon as possible. This is the wish of all of us!"

"You will be satisfied, Mr. Major!" The Russian colonel said, and then began to arrange trucks with their surnames, carrying them to Shenyang. He saw that most of the American soldiers were yellow and thin, and only a few people looked cheerful. Although he knew that this group of people were prisoners who had been captured for three years, he also heard that they had annihilated a Japanese army coalition. Things are also very strange in my heart. Where did their fighting spirit come from, and such people can also defeat the fierce Japanese army?

The Russians did not make things difficult for Parks. On the contrary, they were also very active in finding ways for Parks. On the afternoon of the day after Parks arrived in Shenyang, a B-29 bomber from Yucheng landed at Shenyang Airport. The airport was full of Russian soldiers. Parks and Colonel Yevlović, who was in charge of receiving the Russian army, also accompanied General Wenwright and General Parker to Shenyang Airport by car. The huge roar from the airport could be heard from afar when the plane landed.

The plane stopped slowly, and then the cabin door opened, and a brigadier general came out of it. He saw a group of people who stopped and walked towards the plane, and then happily opened his arms to meet them.

"General Wiwright, I finally see you again, my old friend, you have suffered over the years!" The brigadier general hugged General Wwright who walked quickly, and then patted him on the shoulder vigorously. His voice trembled a little. Obviously, he was very excited to see General Wwright again.

"Yes, Willoughby, I'm free. After waiting for three years, I can finally return to our country!" General Wainwright hugged Brigadier-General Willoughby and couldn't help bursting into tears. He couldn't help but feel his sadness and grievances, and full of guilt. "Old man, I didn't expect you to pick me up in person. I can't expect it! It feels like a dream!"

"No, no, this is not a dream. It is said that I was defeated by us and they surrendered. You know, your old boss Mike misses you very much. He sacrificed a lot for this day. I think what will he look like when you get home? Yes, he will be very excited. He may not have that expression for a long time, even when he dropped the atomic bomb on himself!" Willoughby was also very excited. He insisted on picking up the plane in person, because of this, he was under a lot of pressure!

"Really?" General Wainright's tone was a little empty, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, let go of Brigadier-General Willoughby, pointed to Parks sideways and said with a smile, "I think, in addition to thanking you and Mike, I also want to thank this major. If it weren't for him, I might have been shot by myself, and there would be no chance to return to the United States. "

"Hello, General!" Parks took a step forward and saluted Brigadier General Willoughby.

"Hello, Major!" Willoughby straightened his whole skirt, and then solemnly saluted Parks. He stretched out his hand and held Parks and smiled, "It's nice to meet you, Major. You have completed an excellent task. General MacArthur gave you a very high evaluation of your operation. He is very happy and proud!"

"Thank you, General!" Parks nodded. He knew that his work was over. He delivered General Wainright safely to the plane, and his mission was completed. The rest was that he would wait with all the remaining U.S. troops to reach an agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States and send them back. He looked at General Wwright, who was also looking at Parks.

"Goodbye, kid!" For the first time, General Wainwright did not call Parks his rank, but used such a kind name. He came over and hugged Parks gently and whispered in his ear, "When I return to the United States, I want to invite you to my house. I don't think you will refuse an old man's request!"

"Of course not, General!" Parks gently sent General Wainwright, and then hugged General Parker next to him. The two let go of their hands, and General Parker smiled at Parks and said, "Major, I was shocked by your action. Yes, this action is perfect. Thank God, I still have a chance to return to the United States! I know General Taylor, the commander of the 101st Airborne Division. Yes, I'm glad that the 101st Airborne Division has officers like you!"

Parks couldn't help smiling bitterly, "Yes, General, I hope the 101 Airborne Division can still exist when I go back!"

"What?" Parker couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know why Parks said such a sentence and thought he had heard it wrong! I can't help repeating it. And General Wwright next to them couldn't help looking at them. Obviously, he also heard it.

"No, no, nothing, general! The plane is about to take off!" Parks doesn't want to talk about it. Although he has carried out a successful rescue mission, it does not mean that he has the right to interfere with the decisions of those big shots!

"Okay, take care!" General Wainwright and General Parker waved to them as they climbed the spiral ladder.

This is a farewell. After many kinds of farewells, Parks experienced a farewell from the Tacoya barracks, and then landed in Europe to say goodbye to the wounded brothers who left the battlefield, to the brothers who died in Europe, and to the E company brothers in Europe. Now he has said goodbye to two more generals. However, this is just another farewell in his mission.

The plane roared and glided on the runway, then raised its head and rushed to the sky. Parks looked at the sky. Although the orange sky had a trace of gloom, the sun could no longer be closed.
