Chapter 311: Camp (II)

The beautiful and grim body of the Alps, with white snow on the top and green on the mountainside and foothills. Both sides of the highway are lined with dense trees, which make the road dappled with shadows. The brothers were in a good mood now, they were chatting lazily or singing together, and the beautiful scenery seemed enough to them, and they were a little numb.

On 9 April, Company E spent the night in Buchlohe, near Landsberg, at the foot of the Alps. It was already afternoon when the car drove into the town of Buchlohe.... Some of the town's residents walked outside the house, some cut the grass in the garden in front of the house, and a few chatted on the town's paths. It seems unaffected by the war, as if the constant defeat of the Germans had nothing to do with the inhabitants of these towns, who continued to live a leisurely life.

"God, these people don't even know that their country is at war," Karber looked at them in surprise, then turned to White and said, "I can't believe it." ”

The residents of the town were also amazed to see the trucks in which the American GIs were riding drove into the town one after another, and the American GIs jumped out of the cars one by one. They kept yelling at the residents, and then drove the owner of the requisitioned house out. This caused their discontent, but they, like the Germans elsewhere, did not dare to resist anything against these rifle-wielding GIs. But he was still muttering in a low voice, slandering this group of American GIs who looked like pirates in his heart.

"Hurry up and fuck off, damn Germans" Webster had lost his affection for the Germans since he had seen the camps, and he used the butt of his rifle to force a man in his fifties out of the room, and the old man staggered and fell to the ground. Webster spoke German, which he understood, and his face was ugly, and he glared at Webster.

"Look at what? Damn Nazis, you black-hearted bastards. You haven't seen a refugee camp, have you? Why don't you go and look at the innocent people who are so thin and tired of their labor, and see how great your sins are. Don't let me shoot you," Webster said, with a whoosh, turning on the safety of his rifle and aiming it at the old German man.

"Wait, Webster, damn it, you can't do this" Sergeant Major Lip, who was not far away, hurriedly ran over and shouted at Webster, "Put down the gun, Webster, you can't point a gun at ordinary people in Germany, they are not soldiers." ”

Webster looked at Lip who came over, put away his rifle stupidly, spat at the German on the ground, and said to Lip: "None of the Germans are innocent. Sooner or later, Sergeant, you're going to regret what you're doing. Then he yelled at the frightened old man, "Get out, Nazi."

The old man left in a hurry, and he didn't dare to say anything more. And this scene was seen by the surrounding residents. Originally, some of them were reluctant to let out of the house, but no one said anything anymore. These American GIs are not easy to deal with, they look like a group of robbers or a group of pirates, and when they are upset, they can raise their guns and kill people.

And the mass ranaching of these inhabitants began. No one dared to resist anymore, Webster had no intention of playing an exemplary role, and if he didn't cooperate, then just wait to be shot.

"Captain Hailiger, send someone to guard the perimeter, we will spend the night here today and try to expand the search area." Major Winters got out of the car and summoned the company commanders, who said to Helrig, "Expand the search area two miles away." Then he added: "Company D continues to collect houses in the town as temporary barracks. Company F is on guard in the town, demarcating a warning zone, and prohibiting all residents from approaching the warning zone. ”

The three company commanders all nodded, and then divided up to go. Captain Halig immediately found Captain Welfare and said: "The people in the first platoon will search in the nearby woods" Captain Welfare nodded, and then the people in the second and third rows were arranged in different directions, and Captain Helrig had to find a decent company headquarters for himself.

Major Winters and Parks got out of the jeep and looked around, and Major Winters said to Compton, "Buck, go find a place, as a battalion headquarters, find a place that looks nice and comfortable." Don't treat yourself badly."

"Of course," Buck smiled, and then turned to leave, when someone stopped him from behind.

"Wait, Buck, I'll arrange this myself. I've got to find a place with good wine. Obviously you're not good at it. Captain Nickerson stopped Buck, then winked at Major Winters and smiled. Major Winters shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he had no choice, since Nexon was interested, let him find it himself, anyway, what he found would not disappoint, he was used to enjoying his son.

"I'll go with you, Nick," Major Parks smiled at Nickerson, "I have some tips for good wine, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed if I help you find it." With that, he tapped Nickerson on the shoulder, and the two of them left together.

"I bet they'll find a wine cellar instead of a comfortable place to live," the Welsh captain shook his head and smiled as he looked at the backs of the two of them, "but I also like good wine." Yes, I remember when I was in Normandy, he took me to a cellar with very good brandy, and his nose really worked. ”

Major Parks went with Nickerson because he knew something awkward might happen to him. He was frightened by the wife of a German general, and he flinched until at last he was camped, and his anger made him glare at the old woman once again. Parks didn't want to live all of this, he was going to make the old woman embarrassed in the first place.

"This is it," Nickerson said, looking in front of a very luxurious building. From the outside, it is very luxuriously decorated, typical of the German villa building, with a glass-inlaid door, which shines through the sun and looks very magnificent. Nickerson pulled out his pistol, then pushed the door open and walked in with Parks.

"Anyone?" Nickerson looked around. Major Parks could easily see the valuable painting hanging on the table on the left side of the hall. He smiled at Nickerson and said, "It seems that today's harvest is not small," he said, and he stepped forward, then set up a stool and took down the oil painting. Nickerson walked to the entrance on the other side of the hall and pushed them open, where was a spacious study. In the study, there is a photograph of a man in his fifties in the uniform of a German general.

At this time, the door on the other side of the study was opened. A thin, but lean-looking woman of fifty or sixty years of age stepped out, she was naturally noble, and wore a long, dark blue skirt, and a small suit over it, which gave her an inviolable aristocratic look. Nickerson's hand holding the frame stopped. He saw that this woman was staring at him tightly, her eyes showing a trace of disdain and even a hint of pity, her temperament was invisible, which made Nexon feel more and more psychologically stressed.

"Wow, Nick, do you know what I've shown up? Gold, there's gold everywhere here. Obviously, these things were looted by the Nazis, and I think we should take them back on behalf of the European people who invaded them. Parks held two pieces of gold in his hand and walked into the study in high spirits. He found the two pieces of gold in a closet in the hall, and a box containing a Luger pistol, with a Luger pistol pinned to his waist, and broke into the study.

The old woman's eyes swept at Parks with a stern look, and the word gold stimulated the woman deeply, and she became a little restless, but she glared at Parks fiercely. And Nexon, at this moment, his will began to loosen. He winked at Parks and said, "Lacey, I think we'd better get out of here." ”

Parks looked at Nickerson and shook his head, then raised his head and looked at the old woman coldly, "Why?" Nick, we have requisitioned this house, why should we leave? Damn, it's the best house in town. And it's the Nazi general's. The expropriation of this house is a matter of course, and maybe something good will come to the fore."

Without waiting for Nexon to speak, Parks said to the old woman in German, "Hello, ma'am. Your house has been requisitioned by the U.S. military, and now you have five minutes to get out of here, so you'd better move quickly."

The old woman didn't expect Parks to be able to speak fluent German, she was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down, and said lightly to Parks: "Major, you must know that this is the legitimate property of the German people, I hope you respect the people here, you have no right to requisition my house, I'm sorry, I can't leave my home" The old woman said, with an inviolable holy and noble look on her face, and then slowly sat down on a chair. She could also see that this major was not as easy to deal with as the captain.

"Madam, don't tell me anything about legal property." Parks immediately showed a look of disdain on his face, "The house you enjoyed, the gold jewelry in it, and the precious frescoes were all scavenged from those innocent countries and people in Europe. You should be ashamed of what your husband has done and not say anything here that needs to be fair. ”

"Look at this painting in my hand, the farmer's lunch. Originally, it was treasured in the Louvre in France, but why is it in your house now? Don't look at me like that, it's a work of art, but your husband is a robber, and you're a clown. And this gold. Don't tell me it's not scavenged from other people. Parks's aggressiveness, he waited dead for the old woman, who was now looking a little flustered, and said, "Get out of here." Otherwise, I'll tell the soldiers to drag you out of here." Don't lose your hypocritical nobility in this town. Madame, will you walk out of the house with grace and dignity yourself, or will I have the soldiers throw you out of this house? The choice is yours. It's better to make a decision quickly. ”

Nickerson looked at Parks in surprise, Parks glared at the old woman viciously, and said, "You still have o seconds to make a decision."

The old woman finally couldn't bear it anymore under Parks' angry gaze, she trembled, slowly stood up, and then with great resentment and a hint of shame, she slowly walked out of the study. Parks looked at the lonely old man's back, and his heart throbbed inexplicably. I can't tell what kind of feelings it is.

"Wow" Nickerson relaxed, whistled, and then smiled at Parks, "It looks like you've got a hand hidden, it's really good, to be honest, I was a little worried just now"

Parks shook his head, there is no camp yet, and when the camp is revealed later, it is estimated that Nickerson will be more ruthless than himself. And just as they drove away this old German woman. Randolphe, Paikanti, Christenson, and O'Keeffe are searching the woods. They chatted lightly, and then walked step by step into the depths of the woods, where there would be a scene that would not calm them down for a long time
