Chapter Seventy-One: Spoils of War

"Guys, we're going to be here for a few days, Colonel Zinke is here as the regimental headquarters, we're going to be his vigilance, and let's have some fun after the battle." Parks has good news.

This is indeed good news, since the day of D, no matter how many battles the brothers have participated in, everyone's nerves are tense, and they have not been able to get a good rest. This is a rare time for E Company to recuperate and regain its strength.

"That's great!" "Now I want to find a bottle of wine, take a good sip, and then get a good night's sleep, which is the best enjoyment for me." ”

As soon as they heard about the wine, the brothers of E-Company began to talk about it.

"I know there's a tavern in this town. There must be good wine in there! Sifudi suddenly raised his hand, "Which of you comes with me, let's go get some." ”

"Aren't you afraid that the Germans will poison it?" Kaber interjected suddenly, and although he still looked a little depressed, he began to joke again, and the shadow of the incident gradually dissipated in his heart.

"I'll go!" Goneri raised his hand.

"And me." John Wynn also screamed.

A lot of people were looking at Parks, including the few who were clamoring to go.

"Don't look at me, guys, if you must go, make sure to get me a good bottle of wine!" Parks acquiesced. It was almost the norm on the battlefield, rummaging through the pockets of prisoners and corpses, and looking for anything of value in the occupied villages or towns. Parks didn't care, and he didn't want to, after all, even Winters or Zink wouldn't care about these things.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, hitting the wall next to Gunessey, and dirt splattered everywhere.

"Enemy attack!" Parks yelled.

Everyone fell down in a panic.

"Haven't the Germans gone yet?" Kaber asked nervously as he lay on the ground.

"No, probably a sniper. Be careful, everyone! Parks let out a loud cry, then beckoned to Sifodi, and with a forward gesture, the two of them crept quietly in the direction where the bullet had come from.

Now that the situation of the enemy is unknown, everyone does not dare to act rashly.

"Brother Xifudi, there is a fence there, snipers may be hiding in it, I will lure them out, you pay attention, you have to be accurate." Parks whispered to Sifodi.

"Don't worry, Parks!" Sifudi nodded.

Parks looked back at his brothers lying on his stomach behind him, they were all staring at him intensely, White waving at him, it was clear that he knew what Parks was up to, and he didn't want Parks to take any chances.

Parks smiled at him, then quickly stood up, fired a shot at the fence with his gun, and sped off on the road. The Germans were fooled, and a figure stood up from behind the fence and shot Parks with his gun, but he missed it. The bullet flew past Parks's ear, and it felt spicy.

"Bang!" One sound, it's the voice of M1. Then I saw the figure behind the fence fall headlong.

Parks was already rolling, hiding behind a low wall next to him, panting. He had just done his best. Now it seems to be working pretty well.

"Second Lieutenant, if your mother saw you do this, it would be heartbreaking!" Goneri yelled at Parks, who now felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Parks laughed and said, "I thought you were my mother!" ”

"Brother Xifudi, you are amazing!" A group of brothers gathered around, shaking hands with Sifudi or patting him on the shoulder.

"It seems that the second lieutenant's marksmanship is still not as good as yours, otherwise, why wouldn't he let you run around here? But I think Parks still had the courage," Dukman couldn't help but exclaim, "that's why I pressed you to win and ended up losing money." ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.

"That's it!" Parks raised his hand, "Goneri, lead a Bander brother to patrol the perimeter, be careful, don't let the Germans take advantage of the loopholes." We change shifts every three hours. The rest of the brothers be careful not to gather in a pile in the town, the Germans will think you are a good target, they will not be relentless! ”

"Well, that's a good errand!" Goneri shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Guys, pack up the guys, we're going to find the Germans' lair!" ”

He had just taken a few steps before turning around and shouting, "Hey, Brother Xifu, don't forget to help me find a good bottle of wine, wine and brandy, I don't pick my mouth." ”

Gone out on patrol with a group of men, and the rest of the group scattered, in groups of two or three, and began to look around the town for their loot.

"Follow me, man, and I promise you'll get something." Sifodi took John Wynn and Kaber with him. They went to the tavern in town. The streets were littered with rubble, and some of the houses were still burning with wood. Basically, there were no other pedestrians, and the French were hiding in their homes and afraid to go out.

"Bang-" The door of the tavern was kicked open by Sifudi, and the three of them raised their guns and looked around, it was already empty, and at the beginning of the battle, the tavern owner ran away, and then the bodies of two German soldiers fell by the bar of the tavern.

"Wow-oh-" Caber exclaimed in surprise, then whistled, and there was a lot of wine in the bar, some crumbling on the floor, some scattered on the counter.

"Pretend as much as you can, guys, if we don't take it, sooner or later someone else will take it away." John chuckled.

Karber and Sifodi had already opened their backpacks and were filling them with wine. The three of them filled their backpacks, then filled their pockets with bottles, and then held a bottle in their hands.

"French wines taste really good." Kaber took a sip of his wine and let out a loud sigh.

"I love brandy!" John also raised the bottle of brandy in his hand at Kaber.

"Me too!" Sifudi also took a sip.

John walks out of the counter, only to accidentally trip over the corpse of a German. I couldn't help kicking the corpse hard, and scolded in my mouth: "Damn Germans, are you jealous when you see that I have so much good wine?" You should be shot in the mouth, so that you can't drink even if you have a mouth, and that's your punishment, German. ”

"Haha, John, are you sure these two Germans were killed by us and not drunk with brandy or something in this bar?" Xifudi smiled. The three of them left the tavern and walked away.

Company Headquarters, Winters was frowning, looking out of town.

"The Germans began to harass, cold guns and mortars, which made people tense their nerves all the time, and I think that if this continues, there will be a big problem with the rest of the brothers." Winters turned his head and glanced at Nickerson beside him.

Nickerson shrugged his shoulders, "I can't help you, Dick." However, it seems that Parks has ruled out patrols on the perimeter, and I believe that it will improve. ”

Winters nodded: "I've asked the second and third rows to do the same, and now we can only do that." We can't make a lot of effort to clean it up, the Germans will keep sending people over. Then he smiled at Nickerson and said, "Did you gain anything today?" ”

Nickerson was stunned and looked at Winters: "What do you mean?" ”

Winters looked at the bottle in his hand and smiled, "I know that many brothers have found a lot of good wine in the town, and I don't believe you haven't done that!" ”

Nickerson's eyes widened for a moment, then he nodded and sighed, "I really admire you, I did this, and found good wines in a Frenchman's cellar, even though they were pretty good for a picky person like me." But it's useless for me to tell you this, you don't drink anyway. ”

"I thought you couldn't put down the officer's shelf!" Winters smiled, then looked ahead again.

"Those boys, if I'm too late, maybe the scum won't be left for you." Nickerson couldn't help but laugh, "Do you know who I went with?" Parks! And the wine found is definitely better than the one found by the vulgar guys! He couldn't help but be excited.

"Parks? Is he also good at finding things? "There's something strange about Winters.

"Of course," Nickerson said with some smugness, "his nose was literally made for wine." You must know that I have drunk wine for so many years, and I have drunk a lot of good wine, but I am not as good as him. He knows where good wine is hidden and where ordinary fruit wine is hidden, and he has the same taste in drinking as I do. ”

"Looks like I'm going to take a fresh look at him again!" Winters couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course!" Nickerson nodded, "But he's been pulled away by Harry now, and Harry is in a hurry when he sees the wine we found!" Ha ha! ”
