Chapter 306: Surrender
Chapter 306: Surrender
The camps in Dolmagen were not really refugee camps, they were just refugees from Poles, Czechs, Belgians, Dutch, French, Russians, and other Nazi-occupied European countries. When Winters arrived, they were all over the town in front of their humble houses, and watched with delight as the GIs jumped out of the trucks one by one. Someone was singing, and then the singing slowly came together, and it seemed magnificent, even warmer than the welcome they received in the liberation of France.
Major Parks looked at the refugees and couldn't help but realize that he had made a mistake, this was not a camp, just some refugees captured by the Nazis to serve hard labor, but even refugees, they could only live in the most rudimentary shelters, and every day they were hungry and the author's heavy manual labor, but they only received very little food. Now they can finally rest. They cheered, sang, and danced around the U.S. troops, expressing their joy with the excitement, words, and expressions they could imagine.
The officers and men of Company E, on the other hand, were treated to the fact that they lived in comfortable barracks, which were in fact German houses, and they drove out these natives and then occupied them in the name of requisition. Once these refugees were liberated, they were very willing to obey the orders of the US military, which made the brothers of E Company like them.
The refugees helped the U.S. military peel potatoes, clean their rooms, and wash their dishes. The U.S. military paid them some compensation accordingly, and these payments were very generous in the eyes of the refugees, and they were excited by the generosity of the U.S. military and were more willing to do things for them.
Wine, food and comfort make up the life of e-Lian in Dolmagen. And these refugees have literally become their attendants, which makes the brothers a little happy.
"It's heaven," Lutz said as he lay comfortably on his soft bed after drinking. With little to do during the day, they went to the Germans' houses to scavenge for as much money as they could, and then generously rewarded the liberated refugees as compensation for their hard work for several years, which the Germans paid for and then generously paid to them by the Americans.
"To be honest, I can't even believe that we have entered the territory of the Germans. We are invaders, man, but there is no resistance, is it that the Germans have all collapsed? Where are their troops? White found a bottle of wine in the room, tilted his head, and took a sip, "Honestly, if all of them were like this, I would have enjoyed this trip to Europe for the rest of my life." β
"Hey, Malachi, I want a baby" Luz suddenly turned his head to look at Malach on the opposite bed, he was cleaning up his booty, he had searched a lot of things from various houses in the past two days. There are a lot of marks, and silverware and rum and so on. He is more keen than anyone else to scavenge for these things. The affluence of the Germans is hard to believe. Many of Germany's big cities are in ruins, but the countryside has not been affected, and the rich and well-to-do are now decorated in their houses and utensils.
"You want children?" Mara smiled without looking back, looking up at a silver table knife, "And the girl here?" Is it a German girl or a Dutch girl or a Czech girl? To be honest, I don't think you're going to make it, these girls don't have to be French or English, they're not going to compromise with you. β
"No, no, Malaqi, a little kid in the camp, called Muchik. To tell the truth, the first time I saw him, I was moved by him, look at his eyes, full of wit and vitality, to be honest, he has been helping me with work for the past two days, even shining shoes, I think I can't help it, there are no parents, his parents died in the refugee camp" Lutz suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked out the window.
"I advise you not to think about it, Winters won't promise you, think about it, you have to take him with you from now on, wherever you go, including pickling girls. I don't do that, it's very troublesome, if he really impresses you, I think you should give him more Mark clothes or something, it's better than following you, we're still on the front line. We're at war, Rutz, don't be naΓ―ve," Malachy snapped at Rutz's proposal.
Lutz's wish was not fulfilled after all, and the order of the headquarters of the O Airborne Division had been issued, which was also specifically aimed at these phenomena, and they were not allowed to follow the troops with any refugees. This also disappointed Luz a little, but he still found a military uniform for the little kid named Muchik to wear, and every time he cleaned his house, helped him organize his belongings, and looked at Luz with big black eyes, Luz couldn't help but relent, and handed him as many marks as he could.
And some of the soldiers felt the same way as Rutz, there were many orphans in the camps, and their parents could not stand the torture and died in the camps and had to rely on the care of others to survive.
On these days, the Germans went one group after another towards the American lines, and they did not go to fight, but to surrender. The elite army that once terrified the whole of Europe has been dramatically defeated. Their soldiers looked calm and didn't complain much about the result, but the depressed faces of those officers said it all, they had collapsed.
On the fourth day, it was the turn of Kaber and Paikanti to patrol the perimeter of the camp, and about 500 metres from the camp there was an improvised road, along which they were to patrol.
It's boring, and there doesn't seem to be any figure around. Caber yawned and beckoned Paikanti to sit down. Although many people in E-Company don't have a good opinion of Kaber, Paikanti and Kaber can talk about the topic again, also because in the Battle of Foy, Kaber saved Paikanti's life, and it was also from that time that Paikanti actually felt that Kaber was actually the same as the other brothers of E-Company, but his mouth was a little like nagging, so he felt good about Kaber.
It was a cloudy day, a little cold, and windy. Kaber and Paikanti sat on the grass by the side of the road. Kaber pulled out a box of cigarettes, one for each person, and lit them nonchalantly. A puff of smoke came out. These days have really spoiled the brothers of E Company. Even if he was so comfortable, Caber complained that it was only his turn to patrol once.
"Hey, Paikondy, what's wrong?" Kaber lay on the grass, puffed out a puff of smoke, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Paikanti, who was also spitting clouds and mist, and said, "How did I hear the movement, hey, hurry up." Karber got up with a grunt, and then looked ahead along the road, and suddenly he exclaimed, "Damn, we met a brigade of Germans."
This time Paikanti also woke up. He got up quickly, and then lay down on the grass by the side of the road with Kaber, and looked ahead, and could already see the Germans. They were in a line of four, heading towards the road, and behind them was a long dragon of black pressing.
"God, we've been attacked by a sneak attack, let's hurry back and tell Captain Halig that we met the Germans in the brigade," said the two men who got up and were about to run.
Suddenly, several German motorcycles caught up from behind the group, and one of them shouted loudly at the two men with a horn and broken English: "Surrender, surrender"
"Damn, they're going to make us surrender" Kaber turned around slowly, the Germans' motorcycles were already approaching in front of them, and if the two of them ran, they would definitely be beaten into a sieve by the Germans. "Are we going to surrender?" Kaber asked Paikanti beside him very unconfidently, neither of them dared to run, one with a rifle at the cross, the other holding a submachine gun, looking at the Germans who were getting closer and closer at a loss.
The motorcycle stopped, and a dozen Germans jumped out of several motorcycles, and they lined up in front of Kaber, and there was actually a colonel officer, who walked towards Kaber, and then saluted him with a snap.
Obviously, this action startled Kaber and Paikanti, and they couldn't help but want to raise their guns, but they didn't dare, Kaber's hands trembled a little, but Paikanti stabilized his mind and stammered: "Do you have anything to do with me?" Mr. Colonel: "Obviously, as soon as this sentence came out, Paikondy wanted to punch himself in the mouth, what was this?" How is it possible to ask such an idiotic question?
"Surrender" the German major stood upright, and then said to the two of them. His pronunciation wasn't very standard, but Paikanti and Caber could hear it clearly, and it was now irretrievable. Who knew that the first time he went out on patrol, he would encounter bad luck, so he threw the rifle down, and Kaber quickly threw away the submachine gun.
The German colonel looked at it and was a little anxious, then picked up his rifle and handed it to Paikanti and said: "Surrender - we - surrender"
Paikanti hesitated to turn the rifle into a shot, and then cautiously asked the colonel: "You - surrender - to us?" β
The German officer listened carefully and nodded. In order to convince Paikanti and Kaber, he turned to the Germans and gave orders, and then Paikanti and Kaber saw a stunned sight of the German soldiers with their rifles crossed their shoulders and then crouched down with their heads in their hands. This time Karber and Pakanti believed that the Germans had really surrendered. Then he looked at the team, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, there were about two or three thousand German ** people here.
It wasn't long before the whole of Dolmagen saw a strange sight, two American soldiers with two or three thousand black pressed German soldiers with rifles came in. Then, as soon as the Germans entered the village, they put their weapons together under the supervision of two American soldiers. Captain Winters quickly organized three companies and rushed over.
Everyone in the second battalion saw the triumphant faces of Kaber and Paikanti. They are showing off their achievements to the surrounding residents. The two men captured two or three thousand German soldiers, which inflated the self-confidence of the two of them to the extreme. It also made everyone in the camp stunned and couldn't believe it. But Major Parkes believed that he knew that the German soldiers had collapsed. They just want to end this battle and lay down their arms.
"I can't believe it," Major Winters sighed, he had fought so hard against these Germans, and now they had surrendered to the Allies on their own initiative.
"This is just the beginning," sighed Major Parks, "and we'll have more of these things in the future, and we're already going to win the final victory in this war, Dick." β
Yes, the war has finally come to an unexpected end
