On July 3o, 1945, the 1O1 Division was transferred to France. 【Full text reading】W Shuyou whole ~ Litty ~ For E Company came to the barracks in the town of Jovanny, located in the south of Paris. The bombing of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on 3 August dispelled the fears of the brothers going to fight another battle in the Pacific. Since then, the Airborne Division has been in constant flux. The brothers with low points were transferred to the 82nd Division. On 11 August, Colonel Zinke was promoted to deputy division commander. On August 22, General Taylor left the 1O1 Division and later became the principal of West Point. A little later, the 82nd Airborne Division. On September 3, 1945, the 1O1 Division was abolished. Company E was disbanded.

Winters stood on the deck of the hospital ship, he quietly watched the waves of the sea, the waves in his heart were no better than the waves of the sea, he was still wearing his major uniform, his hands in his trouser pockets, feeling the salty sea breeze in his face. Nickerson stood right next to him, with a bottle of whiskey in his hand, looked at the sea, and then raised the bottle to take a sip.

"Have you decided?" Nickerson turned his head to look at Winters.

"Decide what?" Major Winters looked at him, then shook his head and smiled, "Work thing?" I think I've thought about it, but you know I'm very new to your business, so you can rest assured that I'll work in your company? ”

"I know you don't like administrative things, but everyone knows why a person who can lead a good company can't do management work well?" Nickerson nodded and smiled, "I'm not worried at all, Dick, if you don't do well, I'm afraid I'll never find a competent manager again." He shrugged his shoulders and disagreed.

"Okay, you'll have to be ready to change people at any time" Winters shook his head and smiled, and then walked towards the cabin, Nickerson looked at the wave 1 on the sea, then drank the wine in one gulp, and threw the bottle into the sea. The bottle flipped a few times in the air and then disappeared into the sea, and the waves of the sea did not ripple because of a xiao wine bottle.

Leaving the 5O6 Regiment, leaving the 2nd Battalion, and leaving Company E, Winters' heart felt empty. He felt a little confused. Colonel Zinke was passing by the Jowanny barracks and had tears in his eyes when he saw the brothers of Company E. Parks didn't feel anything wrong with it, he understood the feeling, and now it was his turn to taste it.

"Are you going back to Pennsylvania first or are you coming with me to New Jersey?" Nickerson followed Winters into one of their own bedrooms, the bedroom seemed very spacious, two bunk beds, Winters slept in the lower bunk, he sat at the head of the bed, and then took out a thick paper bag, "Of course, you should go back to Pennsylvania first, and when you are settled, I will be waiting for you to bring it at any time, Dick"

"No, Nick, I'm not going back to Pennsylvania yet." Winters looked at Nickerson, who was sitting on the other side of the bed with him, and smiled slightly, "I'm going to see two old friends, and of course, if you want, we can go to New York together." Go to the place we used to take - Shanks Camp. With that, he opened the bag and pulled out a thick stack of photos.

"What's that?" Nickerson looked at the photos and couldn't help but get closer to Winters.

"In Zhuvany, I met the photographer of the regimental headquarters, and he said that it had pictures of the 5o6 regiment, from the Takoya base to our Austria, and I exchanged several rugers for it." Winters said, and began to look through the stack of photos.

"That's a good deal," Nickerson said, leaning in.

At this time, Winters took out a photograph and couldn't help but smile, and he handed it to Nickerson, who came over, and it showed a picture of the two men at Tacoya Barracks, standing side by side, wearing crisp uniforms. Nickerson had a smile on his face, while Winters was serious and looked serious.

"The photographer would never have imagined that someone as serious as you would never lack a sense of humor." Nickerson picked up the photo and couldn't help but smile lightly as if he was self-deprecating, "I didn't think that a person like me who loves to laugh is really an alcoholic" and then sneered softly, shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders at the photo.

"Look at this" At this time, Winters handed over a photo with a smile, Nickerson took it and looked at it, and then couldn't help but whistle, this is a photo in Bastone, in the photo, Nickerson, Winters, Wales and Parkes are all there, with different expressions on their faces, Winters frowned, Nickerson smiled, Wales was expressionless, and Parkes's expression was very relaxed, he remembered, this was after they were surrounded by German troops for a long time, When material difficulties began to arise, and this was a photograph of the day before Parks organized the patrol, when the four of them were together to discuss solutions.

"I bet the bastard must have planned to do that," Nickerson chuckled as he held the picture, "and we're going to have a sad face." Just look at his face and know what he's thinking."

At this time, Winters was still holding up other pictures to look at. In the photos, not only the clips between them are recorded, but there are also many clips of the fighting life of the brothers of E-Company. Lutz's grinning expression, Lieutenant Sham's roar, and photos of the brothers raising their rifles and shouting with joy after the victory in the battle.

What's even more commendable is that the photos of the brothers in battle are also inside. Winters, who opened his mouth and shouted hoarsely, made the hearts of those looking at this photo move slightly. There is also a photo of the landing in the Netherlands, the umbrella flowers in the sky are blooming in the air, the brothers are Xiao black dots one by one, and the C-47 transport plane in the air is just a black shadow, but this photo makes Winters speechless for a long time.

He felt that he had left the sky, he didn't need to jump down in the air anymore, and the brothers of Company E were now going to their places of belonging, and the company was scattered. In July 1942, Company E was born in the Tacoya Barracks. After almost 3 years, they ended their mission in Austria. In the course of three years, the brothers of Company E endured all kinds of tests and endured all kinds of hardships and hardships, and at the end of the war, they felt endless disgust with the war. But they were also fortunate in that they had the closest brotherhood, they loved their comrades more than themselves, and it was so unbearable to abandon their comrades on the battlefield, they could die for their comrades, and they had three excellent company commanders, Winters, Parks, and Haliger, and they also had the annoying and unimpressive company commanders Sauber and Meehan. And they were even more fortunate to have the company commander Parks they once had, who avoided more casualties among his brothers, and he led his brothers to rise to prominence on the battlefields of Europe again and again. It has made today's famous company of heroes. This prestige is more prominent than in previous lives, and it is also more well-known to the people on the anti-fascist battlefield.

"I don't know what will happen in the end," Winters said to himself, looking at the picture with some distraction.

"What?" Nickerson looked at him puzzled.

Winters smiled at Nickerson and said, "It's nothing, Nick, I'm just- just wondering what I'm going to do now that I'm really away from my brothers." Now you've given me a choice, and maybe he'll ask me the same when we go to see Parks. Maybe he'll persuade me to stay in the army, or maybe he'll leave the army with us. Who's to say yes? ”

"If Parks leaves, it's definitely a loss for the War Department," Nickerson shook his head and laughed, "of course I wouldn't advise him to stay." I'm just thinking, we've been through so many battles, and I'm tired of the killings, the bloody corpses, and the feeling of my brothers falling next to me, Dick, aren't we going to this war just to be able to live at our leisure? ”

"Maybe you're right," Winters nodded, and began to put away the photos one by one, "but that will have to wait until I meet Lacey." Are you going with me? Winters made an inviting gesture towards Nixon.

"New York is a world of flowers, and if you don't have it with you, you're going to get lost there," Nickerson laughs, "I'm here to lead the way for you."

"I knew you'd answer me," Winters smiled nonchalantly, and then looked out the window. You can see the sea through the window, and from time to time seabirds fly over the spiral ladder and hover over the warship.

On November 4, 1945, the brothers, who had been here for more than a month, finally got the news about their future. On this day, Parks was inspected by General MacArthur. He was accompanied by General Wainwright and General Parker, and with the exception of General MacArthur, who met Parks for the first time, both General Wainwright and General Parker revealed their affection for Parks.

The American flag fluttered in the barracks, and the brothers stood upright, their expressions showing pride because two of the generals who had come to inspect them had been rescued by them. General MacArthur gave an impromptu speech.

"He said he's proud of us," Lutz grinned at Toy as he stood at the back of the line, "To be honest, I've listened a lot, and I'm starting to feel proud of myself." Man"

"Don't bī I'm going to kick your ass" Toy gritted his teeth as he couldn't hold back a laugh, "If you dare to make me laugh out loud, I'll make you look good" Apparently his cheeks were bulging, looking like something else was going on.

Fortunately, General MacArthur's speech was not very long, and the pride throughout made the brothers numb for a long time, he was not the first general to say this, and certainly not the last general to say this.

"I'll take over you" When Parks accompanied the generals to his office after the parade, MacArthur's first words stunned Parks
