When the fighting stopped, many soldiers began to vomit, and just now when they were fighting desperately in the life and death, they forgot about the nausea and ignored the blood and dead bodies all over the ground.

Now, the fighting has stopped on the battlefield, and everywhere you look, there are corpses from both sides of the enemy.

Most of those twisted and deformed were the corpses of paratroopers, who were shot through parachutes by bullets in the air, and were smashed beyond recognition after falling, and some paratroopers were directly turned into a mess of flesh and bones, which was unrecognizable.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole asked the paratroopers who had just landed and had not participated in the life-and-death battle to pull the parachutes on the ground and cover the bodies of the stragglers who had fallen beyond recognition, and this was the only way to do it at present.

There were also soldiers from both sides of the enemy, who died together, and it took a lot of effort to separate their bodies. It was really impossible to separate, so the soldiers took out daggers and bayonets to cut off the limbs of the German devils......

The battlefield was filled with the groans of pain from wounded soldiers, and the army's medics shuttled back and forth between the wounded, giving the seriously wounded soldiers a shot of morphine to relieve their pain, reassuring them that there would soon be a plane to take them out of the battlefield and take them to a better hospital for treatment.

Many seriously injured soldiers kept asking their comrades-in-arms if they could still live, and some wounded soldiers had even begun to explain the aftermath to their comrades-in-arms.

Many soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time, holding their seriously injured or dead comrades, some wept silently, some cried, although before that, each other had already thought about the worst outcome.

The Allied soldiers guarding the captives gave the wounded German soldiers the best gift to shoot their medics in front of them, then search for their medical bags and destroy them in front of them......

No one would condemn the guards for this, and no one was merciful enough to look at the corpse of his brother lying on the ground and save the wounded soldiers of the enemy.

It was already merciful not to shoot all these German prisoners.

The brutality of this battle shocked the hearts of those Allied soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time.

After a big battle, the ground was littered with blood, shells, shells, bullet casings, bullet casings, smashed machine guns, and smashed rifles.

The Allied soldiers held their guns and surrounded the remaining four or five hundred German soldiers, and all the German prisoners sat on the ground with their heads bowed, holding their heads in their hands, and did not dare to breathe, because some of them were constantly being pulled out by the angry Allied soldiers.

Many Allied soldiers were angry with these German prisoners because of the tragic deaths of their comrades, and often shot four or five prisoners at a time.

In this regard, the Allied officers also turned a blind eye, after all, whose soldiers were distressed, watching their own soldiers die tragically on the ground, the officers hated these German prisoners in their hearts, if they were not worried about leaking the news after the war, they would like to be able to collectively gun these prisoners and avenge their comrades.

So, from time to time, the guns of the Allies rang out - the soldiers always had a way to keep the prisoners dead - forcing them to flee - forcing them to pick up weapons without bullets - forcing them to resist.

When the Allied soldiers "discovered" that a German wanted to escape, they did not hesitate to shoot.

In the following period, more than 100 more German prisoners were shot for trying to "escape".

It was not until Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole felt that the killing was okay and almost enough, that the Allied soldiers were stopped from "discovering" the excuse for the German prisoners to escape.

Yan Zhi asked Dai Laifu and others, who returned after the armistice, to count the number of independent companies and the casualties.

Dai Laifu reported to the commander that there were 67 independent companies present at present, and none of them died, but in the battle of life and death just now, everyone was more or less colored, and six of them were seriously injured and could only withdraw from the battlefield.

While Dai Laifu was talking, Wu Gengen returned with several soldiers, some of them landed on the roof of the church, some were hung on tree branches, and a few people landed in the sea and almost drowned, Jiang Shuishun was the worst, when he landed almost to the ground, his parachute was pierced by a stray bullet, fell heavily to the ground, and broke two ribs.

All the soldiers were quickly helping each other to treat their wounds.

The United States and the Allies were very well supplied, and every soldier had good medicine on his shoulders and was ready for wounding.

Second Lieutenant Winters came to Yan Zhi, who was sitting on the ground, took out two cigarettes, lit them together, and gave one to Yan Zhi.

At McCall Military Training Base, Winters often saw Independence Company soldiers smoking together in this way, and sometimes a soldier could light seven or eight cigarettes at the same time and divide them among his companions.

At that time, Winters and his soldiers found this unhygienic, so they often secretly laughed at the soldiers of the independent company.

And today, after this battle of life and death, Winters suddenly found that his soldiers who had escaped death were actually sitting together, learning from the soldiers of the independent company, one person lit seven or eight cigarettes, and then seven or eight hands reached out, each took a cigarette, and smoked silently.

It was only at this moment that Winters and his soldiers realized how important it was to have a brother who was born and died with him on the battlefield.

They had been fighting so the battlefield with them just now, and now they had survived and sat together smoking cigarettes and looked at the dead brothers who had been lined up in rows, everyone was silent, no one rejoiced in their survival, and they all knew that if it were not for the death of those brothers lying on the ground, there would be no life for them.

Winters didn't say thank you to Yan Zhi.

Only those who have been on the battlefield of life and death know that a word of thanks does not express their gratitude.

Yan Zhi's clothes had been stained red by the enemy's blood, and Winters reached out to flick off a finger with a fingernail covering his back that was stained on Yan Zhi's back: "If the soldiers of the 116th Infantry Company who were defeated under your command can see your performance today, they should thank your men at that time for showing mercy." ”

Yan Zhi smiled faintly and spat out smoke: "We Chinese have a proverb that says that if a person respects me for a foot, I respect him for a foot." ”

Winters laughed, he understood, although there was no unit of measurement in the United States - zhang.

Looking at the corpse of a German soldier in front of him, the steel helmet was kicked flat, the skull was shattered, and the red, white, yellow, and black flowed to the ground, Yan Zhi knew that this was his own doing. He was tired of this kind of killing, but he couldn't stop this kind of killing, he didn't kill the enemy, he had to be killed by the enemy.

Before the crossing, as a top killer, he killed countless people, and when he traveled to the era of war, he killed more people .......

Is life the only way to be, and not to yourself?

Yan Zhi smoked silently, looking at the tragic post-war scene in front of him, he suddenly felt that peace was so precious that he felt out of reach.
