Chapter 81: The Mind After the War (Part II)
"You should have had a good talk with him, but are you sure you're talking to him effectively?" Goneri looked at Malachi and shook his head. Malaki shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, he wasn't very familiar with Donnet.
"Let Lip come!" Goneri looked at Donnet, then walked over to Lip, who was talking to his brothers not far away. Lip is now a sergeant major in the platoon, and he is the most suitable candidate.
"Lip!" Goneri screamed.
"Hey, want to show off your booty?" Li Pu was in a very good mood when he saw Goneri, he and Gurnery had a good relationship, "Okay, I didn't find anything, don't look at me like this." ”
"No, look at that guy!" Goneri gestured in Donnat's direction, "I think you'd better talk to him, or he'll be ruined like that." ”
Lip looked at it and frowned.
"Is it because of Brown?" Lip asked. Then he saw Guaerney nod.
Donnatt truly felt the pain of losing his brother to him, and he wasn't even in the mood to do anything else. The first time he participated in the battle of the city, the cruel reality almost knocked him down. Although he became more courageous and impulsive from the initial nervousness and fear, he still had no way to get out of the pain.
For Brown, it was when he was most frustrated and felt that he was about to be isolated by his brothers in the company, Brown understood him, became friends with him, and Brown's combat experience helped him a lot.
He couldn't help but think of Brown when he was shot.
Blood sprayed in the air......
Desperate eyes......
And the scrap of paper in the hand that shook slightly in the wind!
It was the letter that Brown was going to send back to his wife. He had been married for less than three years. He was originally a farmer in the countryside, and in order to pay fifty yuan a month for the salary of the airborne troops, he went to the Takoya barracks and joined E Company.
“…… I'll save up enough money soon, we can buy a big plot of land, we can build a farm...... I believe that the war will end soon. The commanders all said that we were taken by surprise and landed in Normandy, and the Germans were frightened...... Maybe I can catch up with the birth of our little baby, if it is a daughter, it will definitely be as fascinated as you, of course, if it is a boy, it should be like me, handsome and chic, just like you were fascinated back then...... I love you, baby, I love my soon-to-be-sounding baby, waiting for me! Love you Brown! ”
The piece of paper was stained with blood and had dried up, turning into a dark red mark. Stained the paper in a mottled manner. Donnatt carefully folded the letter and put it in his personal pocket.
He didn't know what to do with the letter himself. He didn't have the courage to hand the letter into Brown's wife, especially with a child whom Brown had never met.
He even regretted a little, why such a difficult thing to choose happened to him, it was better than the damn German sniper who hit him in the first place, maybe he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Brown's letter?" Donnatt suddenly heard a voice coming from beside him. He looked up and took a look.
"Sergeant Lip!" Donnatt gave him a surprised look. It seems that during this time, apart from Brown, very few of the brothers of E Company took the initiative to speak to him.
Lip sat down side by side with him, looked at the letter in his hand, and asked, "Is it Brown?" I've heard, Donnatt, and we're sad about it too! ”
"Yes! It's Brown's. Donnat covered his face with his hands, "I owe him, but I don't know what to do?" As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Lipp.
Lipp took it, looked at it roughly, and then returned the letter to Donnett, the letter undoubtedly touched him, Lipp took a hard breath, looked at Donnet and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I don't know, Lip, I'm not good at this! I'm afraid I don't have the courage to face his family! Donnatt's tone was frustrated.
Li Pu nodded: "If it were me, I wouldn't have the courage." But, Donnatt, you must hand over this letter to his wife. It's always going to be much better than those expressionless officers in the country doing that. ”
"But......" Donnatt tried to say something, but could not say a word. He didn't know what to say now. Perhaps Lipp was right, and if he handed the letter to his wife with his own hands, it would be the last bit of comfort for the Brown family.
"Well, Donnatt, don't think about it so much, this is war, brothers are constantly being wounded and killed, and we can't avoid it. Since we can't avoid it, we have to face it. It's all the fault of the damn war, not yours! Lip stood up, then nodded at Donner, "You're one of the E-Company brothers, we're all brothers, aren't we?" Lip turned around and left, he felt that he had said what he should say, if Donnet was still like this, then he would not be able to do anything, this is war, everyone will face no less pressure and pain than Donnet, everything must learn to adapt slowly.
"Thank you, Lipp!" Lip had barely taken a few steps when he heard Donnet's voice coming from behind him. Li Pu shook his head and smiled.
In the entire E Company, there are probably some GIs like Donnat, after all, some of them are participating in real large-scale battles for the first time, and the brothers are also injured, which will affect the hearts of some people. But most people have been able to survive, especially those who have participated in many battles, and they have adapted to all kinds of special and unexpected situations on the battlefield.
The GIs were in twos and threes, and many people were basking in the sun on the cement steps outside the warehouse, and the sun came out at this time, which was a little dazzling, but it shone on the body, making people feel warm.
When Lipp returned to Goneri, they were still discussing how to obtain the Luger Pistol during the battle. Being able to get a Luger pistol has become almost the highest requirement for many people on the battlefield for loot.
"Malachi, I heard you captured a luger?" At this time, Paikanti came from the side.
Malaqi's face became very ugly, and he said angrily to Paikanti: "Who are you listening to nonsense? But one day I'll get it, don't worry. ”
"I'm looking for one too!" Paikanti seemed to regret it, "But that thing is too hard to find." So far, if you don't count your rumor-mongering, it seems that Parks is the only one in the whole company. ”
"Not even Winters?" Marachi Road.
"Parks is so lucky!" Gurneir slurred.
Li Pu smiled, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a person limping towards this side, and saw Li Pu looking at him, so he grinned slightly.
"Hey, guys, look who's coming. Our hero, Parks! Gonery also noticed that Parks was walking towards them, and couldn't help but stand up, take a few steps forward, open his arms, and hugged Parks tightly.
"Did you see that? The wound on Parks' face made him look more like an ancient Roman fighter. Goneri's exaggerated tone made everyone around him laugh.
"Are you alright?" Lip also came over and hugged Parks, looking at the place where his thigh was wrapped.
"It's okay, except that it is a little difficult to walk, it does not affect me to continue to fight with the Germans!" Parks smiled, then shook hands with the brothers around him.
"We were talking about you just now!" Malaki saw that Parkes suddenly came to his senses.
"Speak ill of me?" Parks made a joke.
"It's Ruger!" Paikanti was straightforward, "To be honest, I'm very jealous now, you're the only one in the company who captured a handful of luge, and you don't know how many people you've provoked, including Malachi, of course!" ”
"Hey, Paikanti, don't get involved with me! What does this have to do with me, it's you! Malachi glared at Paikanti with some annoyance, clearly annoyed.
"Take it out and see, or let's shoot a few bullets too." Paikanti ignored Malachi's annoyance, and he said to Parks with some eagerness, an expectant expression on his face.
"Why not?" Parks took the luger from his pocket, loaded it with bullets, and handed it to Paikanti, "Be careful, beware of it going off." ”
"Hey, Paikanti, wait for me, I'll try it too!" Malaki had completely forgotten that he had been on fire at Paikanti just now, and when he saw Ruger, he had forgotten about it. He followed briskly.
"Look at these boys." Li Pu looked at the two of them and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Parks couldn't help laughing, then looked at Donnat not far away, and said to Lipp, "How is he?" Brown is dead, and it's a big blow to him. ”
"I just talked to him, and I think he'll get through it." Lip nodded.
"Well done! Lip! Parks patted his arm.
"Let's go to the company!" Lip suddenly said to Parks, "I heard that Winters is worried about you, maybe you can go there in person, so he can be completely relieved!" ”
Parks nodded. He just wanted to go to the company to have a look. If you want to lead a platoon with an injury, you must get permission from Winters.
