On 18 April, the long German resistance in the Ruhr area finally came to an end, and some 320,000 Germans laid down their arms and surrendered to E Company in Dolmagen, where they witnessed a steady stream of German prisoners of war.

"Look, they are lined up in despair, aimlessly following the procession numbly—behold, how pitiful they are!" Wei Ling, who was not punished, looked at the endless queue of German prisoners of war and shouted: "But they look pitiful now!" Under the leadership of Hitler's bastard, this war was set off, and countless countries were passively or actively involved in this war, and countless people died because of this war! ”

"It's these pitiful-looking bastards who are aggressively invading country after country!"

Wei Ling roared at the endless stream of Germans:

"Come on! Kill me! I'm right here, I'm waiting for you right here! Kill me! Don't you like to kill? Aren't you invincible? Aren't you going to conquer the world? Come on? Conquest! ”

Werling roared out of disgrace, shouting out the hearts of most of the paratroopers, many of whom had joined the army since 1941 and had undergone rigorous training, from the United States to England, from Normandy to the Netherlands, to Belgium, and finally to Germany.

They have experienced countless hard battles, and they have lost many, many comrades-in-arms, and they even thought that they might not be able to see the Germans surrender, and they once desperately wanted to end their painful journey.

And now......

Such a large force of German troops surrendered, and the death knell of the Third Reich had come to an end.

They've won!

They are now the winners, looking down on these dejected vanquished, nearly a year of war, years of military service, those hardships, those perseverances, those sins......

They should vent their hysteria at these losers, and they should roar angrily at these losers, invaders, and evildoers!

Zheng Yingqi looked at his comrades-in-arms who had fallen into madness, and his mood was inexplicable.

He remembered his years in the Bright Sword World, such a long time, the dedication of so many brothers, comrades-in-arms, and ancestors, and the death of so many people who gritted their teeth.

When Japan announced its unconditional surrender, that country, how excited it should be!

When Japan announced its unconditional surrender, what a joyful and indomitable nation that tenacious and indomitable nation should be!

[I really want to go back and see the nation and country that is about to usher in a new life. 】

Zheng Yingqi looked to the east, his eyes full of longing.

……

There was a refugee camp in Dolmagen, and Company E was ordered to liberate it.

When assigning tasks, the platoon commanders looked at the aerial photos of the refugee camp sent by Spears, and Velsh couldn't help but say, "Is this a refugee camp?" It's a city, right? ”

"It's a huge refugee camp," Spears affirmed, "and there are people brought back by the Germans from all over the country, and the Germans have built factories around the camp, and those who have been captured work in the factories during the day, and at night they are isolated from one shelter to another." ”

Spears, who had received a lot of information about the camps from the regimental headquarters, continued: "According to the intelligence, there should be a guard of the German infantry battalion there, but I think that by now the enemy must have run away without a shadow, and we will go and see how the Germans treat the laborers they have captured - some of you have always thought that the Germans are a good people, and I think this should be the time to change your opinion." ”

No one could have imagined what the sweatshops of the Germans would look like, and they, with the greatest malice, imagined something like this:

Countless numb workers in tattered clothes went about their work, and the overseers of the Germans whipped them at those who worked from time to time.

"Oh my God, that must be the life of a slave......" O'Keeffe shuddered as he listened to the image of the refugee camp imagined by the veterans.

Zheng Yingqi showed a hint of paleness on the side - never overestimate the virtue and morality of the occupier, when the powerful can do whatever they want, morality is just a ridiculous joke.

"We are about to witness a hell ......"

Zheng Yingqi whispered that it was essentially just a labor camp – what if it was a terrible concentration camp for the Germans?

Since Zheng Yingqi arrived in the 2nd row, the 1st platoon no longer has to play the role of the arrow, this time entering the refugee camp, the 2nd platoon has become the arrow without accident, and it is driving towards the point on the map.

When they were still a few kilometers away from their destination, they could see a faint "wall" in the telescope, and it was not until they got close that the paratroopers could see clearly that the so-called wall was a fence surrounded by wires - the fence enclosed the inside and the outside into two worlds, and the outside was like a human world.

"Oh my gosh, what do I see?" Welsh took off the telescope in shock, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and the curious paratroopers around hurriedly took the telescope and began to look at it from a distance, and immediately, they all let out a similar emotion to Welsh.

What do they see?

The dense crowd is clinging to the barbed wire, just like the prisoners in the prison looking out from afar-it's just that the prisoners in the prison, no matter how pitiful, can be assigned prison uniforms and have strong bodies, but what about those people?

One by one, they wore scrawny bodies and watched the approaching army in the distance.

It's really skinny, and the paratroopers who got closer really saw what it means to be skinny and skinny - these numb people, each of them is a small unit, their skin and flesh are tightly hugged to the bones, the most straightforward analogy is to wrap a layer of cloth around the weapon!

"Oh my God, they ...... They ......"

Countless paratroopers were speechless in horror, and in their cognition, they couldn't even believe that people could really lose weight to such a degree.

Through the ridiculous fence, the U.S. Army's Blade Arrow Squad and these skinny bones confronted each other in such a daze, one side numb, the other side, shocked and incredible.

After a long time, Zheng Yingqi broke the "tacit understanding" between the two sides, first in English, then in French and Dutch, and repeated: "We are the American army, and you are all free now!" ”

Many people think that the word freedom may be an incomparably precious word for these people in hell, but in fact, when people have been called for a long time without being treated as human beings, the so-called freedom, the so-called dignity, are worthless, because ......

Hunger is the most terrible and desperate thing for human beings!

After a long time, a skinny man said with difficulty, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes! There are a lot of them. ”

The paratroopers responded in a mess, desperately taking out all kinds of food from themselves, and the K-level dry food they regarded as garbage, the chocolates they carried, and the C-level dry food were quickly taken out, and the paratroopers tried to hand the food to the poor skinny people inside, but they were stopped by Zheng Yingqi, and he communicated with this group of people with difficulty:

"Listen, we are Americans, we are here to liberate you, but we need your cooperation, the food will be there soon, we will prepare food for each of you, but you can't mess up, listen, you have to keep the way you are, we will divide and treat you, but you can't mess up, now, we will open a gap to enter here, please cooperate, don't crowd ......"

Zheng Yingqi repeated the above in a rambling manner, until a large area of skin and bones around him understood, and then he motioned to Wei Ling and the others to open a "gate" on the fence made of wires with pliers, and then entered it with paratroopers.

There was no fighting, and the Germans had run away three days earlier – leaving only about sixty or seventy thousand laborers from all over the world.

The paratroopers who arrived one after another slowly took control of the stinking refugee camp - countless people gathered together produced an astonishing stench, and it also breeds something called the plague, and the Germans were very experienced in creating one quarantine after another in the refugee camp, throwing all the suspicious contagious agents into it.

There, it's a hell of hell.

Company E spent five days in the camp, working with the rescue force to pull all the bones out of hell – and learned what hell is.

In five days, they saw what they thought was the most miserable hell in the world, and they were greatly impacted, and after the end of the five days of rescue, E Company received a notice of vacation - it was a collective holiday, and the above was worried that they would suffer too much impact, so they were given a full five days of vacation, and Spears applied to the above and took everyone in E Company to Cologne.

Cologne was one of the cities most severely attacked by air raids in Germany, and almost the entire city was in ruins.

And what everyone saw and heard in the refugee camp, which had been silent before, gradually began to talk to each other among the paratroopers.

After O'Keeffe woke up from a nightmare, he couldn't help but approach Zheng Yingqi, who came forward to check, and said with a pale face:

"I can't believe it, some places can dig out white bones with a light planing - some places also blow up from time to time, blowing up a rotting corpse, I really can't believe it, in this world, there is such a hell."

O'Keefe was talking about what he had seen in the camps, where they exploded because of a sudden burst of gas after the bodies had decompatible, lifting up the thin layers of dirt that had covered the bodies.

Such a picture, many veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead people have lingering palpitations, not to mention O'Keeffe, a recruit who has only joined E Company for a long time, although he has been baptized in the paratrooper school in the United States, but ......

How many people can accept such a picture?

Zheng Yingqi patted the sweaty recruits and comforted them softly: "Everything is over, they are all saved, the Germans are also being punished, everything will be fine, everything will be fine......

Will everything be okay?

Zheng Yingqi, who said this, had a negative attitude, at least as soon as he closed his eyes now, it was the scene of hell.

……

On the last day of the holiday, E Lian wandered again and again to watch the "wonders" here.

There are two "wonders" here.

A masterpiece of the Air Force - ruins.

A masterpiece of the army - "The Woods".

The ruins are nothing to see, but the endless ruins of the paratroopers laugh unbridled when they think of the laborers who trembled and lived under the guns of the Germans or were driven by oxen and horses.

It was a happy, hearty laughter, and it was also a bitter laughter after the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao!

In such a pleasant mood, looking back at that "wood" makes people feel more happy.

The "woods" are not real woods, but gallows frames, many, many gallows with the corpses of Germans hanging from them, swaying in the wind, like the body of a tree full of fruit swaying in the wind.

Even a recruit like O'Keeffe would not feel sympathy for the corpses of so many Germans, and he even laughed and shouted: "It's so beautiful - these devils should be hung like this!" ”

For them, who have experienced the hell of the refugee camp, the appearance of these Germans being hanged is really beautiful!

Not far away, a group of elderly German couples were weeping, not knowing whether they were crying for the ruins, or for every fruit in the flourishing "woods", in short, they were crying desperately and sadly.

The weeping of the old man easily tugged at the heartstrings, and the wild laughter of the paratroopers slowly subsided, and finally they looked at each other helplessly, at that moment, they may have returned to the era when they were not baptized by war.

"Let's go back." Spears' deep voice ended the tour, and the paratroopers of Company E slowly left the place, and after a long, long time, listening intently, they could hear many cursing voices from the paratroopers, which converged into one sentence:

"The war of the grass dog day!"

……

The end of the Germans has come.

The Soviet army was attacking Berlin, and the Soviets, who had been beaten by the Germans to Moscow, launched a final assault on Berlin.

The whole of Berlin was trembling in its final death throes amid the searchlights, shells, bombs, and fury of the Soviets.

At this time, E Company was on its way to the mountains of Bavaria and the Alps - the target, the Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden!

On the moving train, Spears stated the goal this time: "We are going to occupy it before Hitler rushes to the Eagle's Nest, and we must not allow this demon to be protected there and continue his sinful life!" ”

Compared with the admiration of many ignorant people in later generations of Hitler, all the countries hostile to Germany at this time were full of hatred and hatred for this name that started a war and made the whole world tremble in the shadow of war.

He was a capable man who had risen again with a debt-ridden Germany, but he was really a demon – he was the one who should bear the greatest responsibility for the heinous crimes committed by the Germans.

Because the railroad through Germany had been carpeted by the Allied air forces, the troops marching towards the Eagle's Nest had to take a detour, they had to re-enter Germany through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France, and they had to continue along the Rhine, which was a long journey, so long that the soldiers had to pass the time with all kinds of boring chats.

It's just that Zheng Yingqi was very silent during the journey, he silently calculated the time, waiting for that day to come.

Which day?

April 30, 1945.

On that day, Hitler, who set off the culprit of this war, made the whole world tremble, and caused countless deaths, and Eva, who got married the day before and changed from a lover to a wife, committed suicide by taking medicine, and Hitler took a pistol and shot himself in the head after taking the drug.

That shot was the end of a dark age.

That pair of poison and that shot is an explanation for countless people in this war.

Zheng Yingqi, who has experienced the Normandy landings in 1944 to the present, and Jacob, who has witnessed countless unjust souls in the refugee camp, is patiently waiting for this day to come.

If there is hell, may you remain in hell forever. 】

Zheng Yingqi, who doesn't have a big heart, said to the man who counted down to his life.
