Chapter 0361: The End of Rumler
The German's hideous face was getting closer and closer, and the tiger's rumbling figure was rapidly approaching, and Jon stretched out his hand in vain under the crushing chariot, as if to let Zheng Yingqi pull him away.
Zheng Yingqi desperately tried to pull him, but after a violent explosion sounded and the smoke cleared, Jon was gone, leaving only a paratrooper fighting stubbornly, and then under the crush of the tank, he made a soul-sore sound, and then turned into a puddle of flesh.
The colonel shouted and rushed to the tank with the paratroopers, and after a roar of machine guns, only corpses were left everywhere.
"No!"
Zheng Yingqi yelled in vain, and then the colonel appeared again, but the face that was obviously white spoke familiar Chinese, and it was still so ...... Familiar.
"Zheng Yingqi, what the hell are you pretending to be? Can you fucking be defeated? ! Stand up for Lao Tzu! How could Lao Tzu's soldiers be defeated? Stand up! Lao Tzu has never fought with the Germans, you kid want to give Lao Tzu a long face! Pick up the Germans ruthlessly! Don't give Lao Tzu diarrhea! ”
The familiar tone, the kind scolding voice, and the tone that makes people want to cry.
Head!
It's the head of the regiment!
Zheng Yingqi became excited, he shouted, shouting the head of the regiment, the head of the regiment, but at this time, he felt that someone was pressing on him.
Without thinking about it, he swung his fist and blasted it towards the people who were pressing on him.
"Oh God!"
"Fack! It hurts me! ”
"Oh my God, why does this kid have so much strength?"
The noisy screams and complaints in his ears, Zheng Yingqi, who was swinging his fist, stopped his movements, he opened his eyes with great effort, and the dazzling light instantly filled his world, and after a few seconds, he woke up from the mess of scolding around him, and looked at it again - there were four or five medical soldiers with red crosses lying on the ground, scolding and looking at himself in fear.
Zheng Yingqi, who realized what had just happened, said embarrassedly to the few people who fell to the ground: "I'm sorry, I thought it was a German......"
"God, you're so strong, I doubt you're a brown bear in disguise." A medic rubbed his sore arm and complained.
"Thanks for the compliment." Zheng Yingqi replied disapprovingly, and then looked around - a single bed was placed in a fairly wide room, and on each bed lay a wounded soldier who watched the wounded soldiers here with relish, looking at the appearance of the wounded soldiers, this should be a minor injury ward, not the kind of serious injury ward with missing arms and legs.
Minor injury ward?
Zheng Yingqi opened the quilt and saw his two legs resting on the bed intact, and after moving tentatively, he felt good, and there was no numbness - is this not paralyzed?
A medical soldier stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, causing several wounded people around him to roll their eyes, and then the wounded man stepped forward to check the hanging bottle that Zheng Yingqi was playing, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said: "You are really a lucky guy, you were half buried, and when you dug it out, you thought you were going to be finished, but I didn't expect it to be no problem at all." ”
"I've been lucky." Zheng Yingqi replied perfunctorily, and searched the room to find a familiar face, but among the more than 20 wounded soldiers in the ward, there was not a slightly familiar face.
He reimagined the images of before he was unconscious, with the captain missing his left arm, Leybin being shot, and Jackson missing half of his lower leg...... What about the others?
After taking a deep breath, Zheng Yingqi asked the medical soldiers who had not dispersed and asked, "Excuse me...... Do you know about the Ramler garrison? ”
Although Zheng Yingqi seemed calm when questioning, he was nervous in his heart - he was afraid of hearing the news that he was most unwilling to hear.
Before the medical soldiers could answer, the wounded soldiers around him surrounded Zheng Yingqi with shocked eyes -, this is from Rumler?
The field hospital is the most well-informed - some people joke that the information there is second only to the command headquarters, and the more useful information than the official announcement can often be heard in the field hospital, just like this field hospital, the wounded soldiers from all the battlefields gather in one place, and the biggest conversation between each other is the war they have experienced.
Since D-Day, brutal wars have been raging everywhere, the bloodshed on Utah Beach, the bloody landing on Omaha Beach, and the stories of witnesses can be heard in the hospital - Omaha Beach is brutal, and the casualty figures are terrifying, but compared to the town called Lamble, the landing battle on Omaha Beach is much inferior.
Three hundred and seventy-nine paratroopers from the 101st and 82nd Divisions, as well as seven rangers who later supported the past, held out for four days in front of and behind the town called Ramler, and from top to bottom, only 77 people left it alive, and of those 77 who left alive, 14 died of their wounds on the death list!
It is said that by the time the reinforcements arrived, the whole town was in ruins, and there were corpses everywhere, and it was said that just to bury the corpses of the Germans, it took more than 1,000 reinforcements more than three hours to use machinery.
"Man, you're from Ramler? Was it evacuated by the first wave or by the latter? One of the wounded soldiers couldn't help but ask.
"I'd like to hear about the Ramler garrison first."
"Well, I'm talking too much—but, I'm really curious, how did you hold on in that town?" The wounded soldier apologized, but still kept gossiping and asking: "You know, when I first heard about the battle at Rumle, I thought it was you paratroopers bragging, but when it was confirmed later, we couldn't figure out how you did it - compared to you, I think the armored forces should leave their Sherman behind, and go home and play with women." ”
"Fack! What do you say, you groundhog-like bastard? The other wounded soldier was enraged by the guy's words that he didn't open the door, and the wounded soldier, who was born in the armored corps, couldn't help but smash what was in his hand in the face of the bastard who was taunting the armored troops at the exit.
"I'll just say you tank troops! Beaten by the tiger like his grandson, he threw all the infantry to the Germans! ”
The two of them turned from scolding each other to smashing things across a hospital bed, pillows, quilts, shoes, canned food boxes and many other things flying in the air, and the innocent wounded and sick lying in the middle of the war, but said to the medical soldier as if nothing happened: "Hey, man, don't worry about the two of them, they will be safe after a while, please tell our warrior about the problems he cares about, okay?" ”
The medic nodded, and told Zheng Yingqi about what he knew, plus the rest of the wounded soldiers' gossip supplements, Zheng Yingqi finally learned about the situation after the reinforcements arrived and he fell unconscious, and also knew the final casualty figures.
……
This person, don't compare your life with the protagonist, it will make you jealous to death - this is Zheng Yingqi's only emotion after hearing about the outcome of the Ramler war from many sources.
I guess I was cast in iron and copper, but after this battle, I was in a coma in the hospital for four days, and countless fragments were pulled out by the military doctor, my body was covered with bandages, and there were two penetrating wounds on my arms, but what about Ryan?
Not to mention, when the reinforcements arrived, the ghost sent 23 Germans to capture!
The key is that he alone escorted so many captives to meet the reinforcements, which was captured by the reporters accompanying the team, and the next day his name resounded throughout the Allied army - on the battlefield full of ruins, countless corpses and the wreckage of chariots were placed in despair, and an embarrassed paratrooper, with a big grin, took a bunch of captives to meet the reinforcements, and the picture that was more exaggerated than posing caused countless people to question, but when people learned about what happened, coupled with the reporter's beautification of the prisoner's answer, the reversal of the matter transferred Ryan instantly became the hottest hero at the moment.
The proud record of the Rumler defenders made the politicians even more ecstatic, and it is said that Ryan was taken directly back to the United States by plane the next day, and went back to receive heroic treatment......
Really the only winner!
Of course, this is not the focus of Zheng Yingqi's attention, his focus is on the rest of the people.
"Someone else? They're all in the 'intensive care unit'! If you want to visit them, you'd better apply to the medic," the medic said with a smile, "Without the medic's approval, the soldiers guarding the 'special care' ward will not be able to let you in." ”
"Such a high salary?" Zheng Yingqi asked in surprise - compared to the way he was thrown here, he had a feeling of galloping horses in his heart, although we don't care about fame and fortune, but ......
You can't bully people like that, can you?
"Haven't they been harmed yet?" The medic pointed to the rest of the wounded soldiers in the ward angrily, "They are all seriously injured and should have rested, but they sneak in from time to time, and the lieutenant has no choice but to apply for a guard at the door." ”
The wounded soldiers in the room sneered, who called the battle in Remler "the greatest miracle since D-Day"? Of course, they want to know from those who witnessed it! Besides, isn't it their wounded in this ward who are curious, blaming us?
Zheng Yingqi asked, "Can you take me to the military doctor?" I want to see them! ”
"OK, no problem!"
The military doctor in the mouth of the medical staff is a lieutenant medical officer in this field hospital, and after seeing Zheng Yingqi, he hurriedly greeted him and explained with apologies why he threw Zheng Yingqi into the minor injury ward:
"Sergeant, we've checked on you, and you don't have any other wounds except for two gunshot wounds to your left arm, so we're just going to settle you there—in fact, we hope that the vitality there will wake you up sooner."
Vitality?
Listening to the sound of using pillows, quilts and other non-lethal things as weapons in the ward not far away, Zheng Yingqi understood what vitality was in the mouth of the military doctor - he pretended not to know that he had a bunch of messy small wounds on his body.
"I'll take you there, those comrades of yours have been asking about your situation." The military doctor motioned for Zheng Yingqi to go with him.
Following the footsteps of the military doctor, Zheng Yingqi slowly approached the "special care" ward, but his heart couldn't help but lift, he was afraid of seeing the lifeless picture, afraid of seeing a bunch of desperate gray faces of the wounded, from the words of the military doctor, he learned that the vast majority of the many Lambler warriors in the "special care" ward, most of them have become disabled people with missing arms and legs, he is afraid that those guys who are fighting together on the battlefield and sharing life and death will not be able to accept the fact of being crippled, and one by one in a desperate and negative posture, they will stand up in it.
But as it turned out, he was overthinking.
When he was still more than ten meters away from the ward, he heard the sound of joy, one by one familiar voices, who were in high spirits, smiling, and happily roaring and chatting, and from the words floating over, he could hear the joy in the words.
It's really the joy that comes from the heart.
[These guys...... So optimistic? 】
Zheng Yingqi was puzzled, he thought, if it was his own, if it was abolished, it would not be possible to be so excited, right?
Pushing open the curtain, Zheng Yingqi, who was wearing a hospital gown, appeared at the door of the "special care" ward, there was a dead silence in the room, and then burst into warm laughter......
Acquaintances erupted in a warm welcome.
"Jacob!"
……
The people who came out of Rumler were in unexpectedly good shape.
Without Zheng Yingqi's desperate and desperate appearance, after an eager conversation, Zheng Yingqi finally understood why these guys were so happy - they would be transferred to the beach in three days, board a ship back to the UK, and then change ships to go home.
Yes, the vast majority of them, having lost their capital as warriors, can only ...... Excited to go home!
Zheng Yingqi was happy from the bottom of his heart for these people who could leave the war, and he hugged these guys who were rolling in hell one by one, and he was sincerely happy to be alive.
Yes, they who have gone through fierce battles and crawled out of hell, just being alive is enough to make them smile.
Arley and Velsh felt the most—they thought they were dead, but they didn't expect that at the last moment, it was a turning point, and the feeling of suddenly flashing from hell to heaven was still fresh in their minds.
……
Welsh and Ali's injuries are not light, in the words of the military doctor, if the bullet is a little off, these two people will not have a chance to sleep in the "special care" ward and other people chat nonsense, as the heroes of Rumler, the two of them have also obtained the qualification to return home, but unlike the few people who have lost their limbs, they can return to China to recuperate, and they can receive the treatment of heroes as heroes, but before the war is over, they still belong to the war.
Translated into this, the seven "heroes" who did not have missing arms and legs, including Wersh and Arleigh, could not withdraw from this war yet, and even if they returned home, they would still be sent to the battlefield.
As a result, Velsh and Arley refused to return home.
In Welsh's words: "I don't want to be thrown into an unfamiliar unit to rejoin the war after being a hero at home, and since I still belong to this war, I'd rather stay in E Company!" ”
Because of this consideration, the two refused to return to China, and as paratroopers, they would return to E Company and return to the E Company they were familiar with after recovering from their injuries.
As for Zheng Yingqi, after waking up, he stayed in the hospital for two days with nothing to do, and the day before the captain and they were sent away, he made a request to the military doctor to return to the team, and after the military doctor checked Zheng Yingqi's physical condition, he was surprised and issued a discharge certificate.
"You can actually stay a little longer, and with your status as a Lambler hero, no one will say anything." The military doctor was very curious, and the other wounded were trying to continue to stay in the hospital after recovery, but the person in front of him couldn't wait to return to the war - what a strange person.
Zheng Yingqi, who was holding the certificate, said with a smile: "I hate parting." ”
Hate parting?
The military doctor was even more puzzled, what do you mean?
Zheng Yingqi smiled, without too much explanation, and said goodbye to the military camp: "I hope that before the end of the war, I will not meet you again." ”
The medic laughed, a very interesting paratrooper, and he replied, "Mitu." ”
……
On the afternoon of June 17, Zheng Yingqi quietly left the field hospital and boarded a truck bound for Carentang.
There, Company E was still fighting.
(Has anyone seen A Bite of Hogwarts?) It is said that the author of that book, the cute feather boss, got married, and wished the big guy a happy new marriage, and grew old together! )
