Chapter 285: Return

In the morning, the wind and snow unexpectedly stopped, and a ray of sunlight tore through the thick clouds, causing the snow not far away to reflect a dazzling light. The snow after walking out of the forest looks very empty, so that the depression and haze in the gray forest before are swept away, and the traces and footprints of the wheels on the snow have been covered. But it doesn't affect the road to the town of Norville that they can see at a glance. They will travel through this open area and into the town of Norville.

It's time to return to the camp of the U.S. military, and these U.S. soldiers, who were originally prisoners, burst into cheers. The town of Norville in front of them seemed so intimate, and the two-mile distance didn't seem too far away, and some people even started running. It's just that they are already very weak, and after running a few steps, someone falls on the snow, gasps for air, and laughs at the sky. It is the result of a miracle of resurrection from the dead that has been rapidly fermented in their hearts.

German prisoners were on the sidelines with columns on slow walking. Despite Captain Parkes' assurances, they were all worried about the unknown outcome of the future. Ensign Eyld walked in silence, Ritter beside him. He looked at Ritter, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, it was already this result, what else could he say? Perhaps this result is already the best result.

"Second Lieutenant, I can assure you that our choice was not wrong, I believe that Captain Parks is a man of promise, not to mention that we have nothing wrong, we are not executioners" Ritter seemed to see Ensign Elder's concern, and could not help but say two words of relief. But in this case, whether it will be effective or not depends on what they get in the end. What will the US military do with them? Ritter was also unsure, and although he played a key role in the whole process of inciting the Germans to surrender, he could not guarantee what the outcome would be. Could Captain Parkes' assurances be fulfilled?

Ensign Eeld only nodded slightly, he did not speak, and Ritter's words did not comfort anyone, including himself. He looked at the town of Norville, which was getting closer and closer, and his heart couldn't help but slowly hang.

They continued on until they came across a patrol of American troops on the outskirts of the town of Norville. The patrol was composed of men of Company E of the 2nd Battalion. Leading the men was Sergeant Landowman, a group of ten men heading towards the snow and heading out into the open field of the forest. Landauman was holding a cigar in his mouth, looking a little sluggish. Yesterday he found a lot of beer in the town of Norville, and then got a little drunk with his brothers in Lianli. This is now the case with many people in the company, who loot everything they thought was valuable in the town of Norville, even though it had already been looted by the Germans once. Wine is their most popular trophy. Unfortunately, yesterday when they were drunk, Lieutenant Spear appeared, and as punishment for them, Spear decided to let them come out early in the morning to patrol around the town of Norville.

"I swear Lieutenant Spierre is only here for revenge," Sergeant Malachi said as he gritted his head at Sergeant Landowman, "and he knows I told me about killing the captives, that's why he did it, White, you're right, he's an officer with a strong sense of revenge." To be honest, I don't like him. ”

"I don't like him either." White looked around, rifle in hand, and followed behind Landauman step by step, "Big Bull, he said that he said bad things about Lieutenant Spierre, maybe we were all affected by him." Last night's beer really shouldn't have invited Marachi. It's your mistake, big bull."

"Well, it's all my fault," Malaki glared at White.

"You have to be careful, Marachi. If you accidentally commit something in his hands, beware that he will shoot you, and there is another thing you must not have heard of, he shot a sergeant who refused to carry out his orders," Christenson on the side laughed, "maybe one day he will shoot you with a single shot." ”

"Damn, it's not a joke," Malaki couldn't help but curse, but it drew laughter from everyone. He had no choice but to change the subject, "To be honest, of all the company commanders, I still miss Lieutenant Parks the most. He was with us, I was a private with him, I was a non-commissioned officer with him, I trained with him, I fought with him when I was an officer. To be honest, none of the later company commanders had such an experience, together with their brothers"

"Do you still have to say that?" White laughed, Captain Parks had the best relationship with him, among the soldiers, and the relationship between the two did not change because of their superiors and subordinates, but continued to grow closer in battle, "He is the best officer, but he was injured." God, I really wanted to see him, but Lieutenant Spierre wouldn't give me a holiday. ”

The group kept talking and laughing in the slow patrol, they didn't have to worry about the German artillery fire here, and they didn't have to worry about the German patrol. The whole patrol is just a walk around and then back.

"I can't imagine we've survived Bastone," said Randolphin, taking a puff on his cigar, "If it weren't for Captain Parkes, I think I'd have gone mad and we'd spent a long time in hell." Now I can finally go back to the world and live a comfortable life for a few days. ”

"Don't mention Baston, big bull. I don't want to talk about it," Malaki didn't say, then took a box of cigarettes out of his pocket, took one and dropped it in his mouth, and White in the back rushed over and snatched the cigarette he was holding.

When Malachi was about to turn his head, he suddenly heard the shout of the big bull Landauman, who had been watching in front of him: "Get down, lie down, I have a group of people," and he threw his whole body forward. Everyone reacted quickly, they quickly climbed down, White was too flustered, lying in the opposite direction, and kicked Malaqi's ass, so that he couldn't help but scream "damn it"

"I'm sorry, man" White adjusted his posture and quickly climbed to the side of the big bull Randolphman, and looked up to look ahead, he also saw a group of people in the snow in the distance in front of him walking towards this side. And there are quite a few people, about two platoons as much.

"Is it German?" White whispered to the big bull Landowman.

"I don't know, I'll take a look first," he said, pulling out the binoculars from his arms. The telescope quickly saw the characteristics of the group, both in American and German uniforms. But it seems that the Germans were captured. It's just that all the weapons in the hands of those American troops are German weapons, and none of them are standard weapons of the American army, which makes the big cow Lan Daoman feel puzzled

"Is it one of us?" White asked again.

"I'm not sure, they were wearing our uniforms, as if they were guarding a group of German prisoners, but they had German guns in their hands, how could this be?" The bull Landowan couldn't help but chatter in confusion, then handed the binoculars to White, and called behind him, "Contact the company, there is a group of unidentified armed men approaching the town of Norville and we need support."

"Hey, wait, wait, I saw it, man, don't worry," White suddenly shouted at the bull Landowman, "Who did I see?" Toy, Joe? Toy, god, how is he there, oh, and Kaber, that damn thing"

"Alright, let me see," Malach snatched the telescope from White's hand suddenly.

"Damn, I haven't observed it yet"

"No, that's what I learned from you, how to get your hands on something in someone's hand," Malaki said, holding up his binoculars, and muttering, "and Hudson, oh my God, it's the captain, it's the chief." Big bull, God, know who I saw? Captain Parkes. He's back, and he'll continue to lead us," said Malach, thrusting the telescope into White's arms, getting up, and running toward the team in the distance.

"yes, I can't believe it," White took the binoculars and looked at them again, then got up and rushed out. It was already established that it was Captain Parkes, who was walking in the direction of the town of Norville with a group of American troops, holding German prisoners.

"Da Niu, do you still want to contact the company?"

"Of course, the company commander is back, do you want to contact the company?" The bull Landowman patted the helmet of the communications soldier behind him as he spoke, got up as well, and then ran after him with the cigar that had been smoked to a small point still in the snow.

Toy took the lead in front of him, and when he saw a group of people running towards them from a distance, he immediately crouched down, and then raised his fist. All the teams immediately stopped, and both American and German troops quickly crouched down. Kaber immediately hooked up and quickly ran to Toy's side and said, "Could it be one of our people?" ”

"I can't say for sure, but the town of Norville is definitely occupied by us, and it should be our people, but it's better to be cautious," Toy said.

Captain Parks bent over and quickly followed from behind, then patted Toy's arm and said, "What's the situation?" ”

"Someone in front of us is running towards us." Toy pointed to the figures running towards them in front of him, "I'm not sure if they're ours."

Parks looked in the direction he was pointing, gesturing to Toy and the others, and then said to Toy, "Stay here, I'll take a look," as he scurried forward through the snow. After a while, he came back and smiled at Toy: "You would never have imagined who those people are, they all know you, and you know them" Then he looked at Toy's puzzled look and laughed: "It's E-Company's people"

"God" Karber straightened up and laughed, "I already knew that it should be our people, Toy was too cautious"

"Shut up," Toy looked at Kaber angrily.

The bull Randolphman, White, Malachi and others appeared in front of Parks, White ran in front, he saw Parks, opened his hands, and the two came to a big hug.

"Chief, I'm so glad to see you, it feels like I've been waiting for a long time," Toy smiled, but he was saying from the heart, and without Captain Parkes' E-Company, everyone felt like life had been long.

"Chief, I'm glad to see you" The bull shook hands with Parks one by one, and then greeted Toy, Carb, and Hudson, and it was clear that Parks' return was their unexpected joy, and it also made them suddenly full of confidence in the future battle.

"It feels so good," Toy and Randolphan laughed out loud as they gave a chest-banging salute.

"What does it feel?"

"The feeling of coming home" Toy smiled, "The feeling of going home with the head"
