Chapter 170: Together
The fall of the German soldier caused a burst of laughter from Cardeiro and another German. Cadero sneered: "Hey, boy, that's not how you chase women, you work hard!" ”
"Bastard!" Karl desperately tried to break free from the German's grip, but the German soldier held him in a tight grip, making him struggle and let out a roar of rage.
"Oh, that's not right!" Cardeiro suddenly noticed that the German soldier who had fallen, still motionless, couldn't help but shout, "Damn it, let him go and see what happened?" He didn't move, and went to see what was wrong! Cadyro commanded the soldier in a loud voice, his face awe-inspiring.
Carl was let go, and he didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively ran towards Cecia. Cecia was about to run into the woods. That's exactly where the American lieutenant was hiding.
"Cecia, come back!" He shouted at her, trying to stop her. But Cecia was so frightened that she turned a deaf ear to Karl's call and still ran towards the woods.
"He's dead!" The German soldier suddenly screamed loudly, his voice was full of panic, and a hole was opened in the top of the head of the fallen German soldier, and blood was bubbling up, which made him feel nervous. He looked nervously around, trying to find something.
"Stop them!" Cardeiro grabbed his rifle and pointed at Carl and his daughter in a loud voice.
Parks watched Cecia run towards him, he didn't do anything but calmly pull the bolt, withdraw the cartridge case, and then wrapped the muzzle of the gun in his clothes, and took aim again, aiming at the hysterical German soldier.
"Poof" was another muffled sound. The terrified German soldier was struck in the chest by Parkes, and his screams came to an abrupt halt as if they had been cut off. He fell headlong on the corpse of the German soldier from earlier.
Sergeant Cardeiro saw that the situation was not good, and did not stop Carl and his daughter, he turned around and ran, he was going to the bottom of the slope to ask for help. There were four of his companions below. It was clear that the other party was hiding in the woods and sniping at himself.
Parks stood up, wrapped his clothes around the muzzle of the gun again, then picked up his rifle and took aim, pulling the trigger without hesitation, the bullet making a low, muffled thud and burrowed into Cardeiro's head with a "stump", and he fell to the ground like a stake.
Parks appeared in front of Carl covered in grass and leaves, and surprised him: "You killed them? ”
Parks nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I know this might get you in trouble." As he spoke, he handed the rifle in his hand to Karl, "Very nice gun!" ”
Karl took over and said, "There are four Germans down the slope now, and we will be discovered by them soon." ”
Parks looked at him apologetically, then said, "I'm sorry, I don't think you can live in this place anymore." You should move out of this place, and four Germans, I think I can handle it. You go to the house first, clean up, and I'll kill those four Germans!" ”
"Will you be with us?" Cecia suddenly looked at Parks with wide eyes, she was full of longing and eagerness, she hoped that this American would be with them, which made her feel reassured.
"Yes, I will, I promise!" Parks smiled at her. His smile reassured Cecia a lot.
Parks and the father and daughter ran quickly towards the house, and on the way, he collected a German soldier's 98k rifle and his bullets and grenades, and then gestured at Karl and headed down the slope. Karl ran towards his house. Now it's up to him, he has to move. And judging by Parkes' performance just now, it doesn't seem like he has a problem dealing with four Germans.
Parks was prostrate on the grass, the grass and leaves on him trying to hide him, and he crawled slowly, then approached the four Germans who were sitting on the side of the road, laughing.
"Let's go! Kid, are you packing your things? Karl said loudly in the room.
"It's almost there!" Cecia replied loudly in the room, she packed up her clothes, and saw on the bed a bear doll, which she had made, sewn with needle and thread. She was melancholy for a moment, then picked up the bear doll and put it in a bag.
"Alright, we're leaving!" Carl didn't bring much, he just brought his clothes and the gun.
"Where are we going? Father! Cecia suddenly looked at Karl and said, "Follow the lieutenant?" ”
Karl smiled wryly, "Is there any other choice?" Boy, let's go to Wigherr, where the U.S. military still occupies the place. Let's find a place to settle down, and trust Dad, I won't let you wander around, and I won't let you sleep in the wild. I can build you a beautiful house, just like we have built here. ”
"Thank you, Dad!" Cecia's nose suddenly soured.
"Don't cry, child! We'll always be together! Carl hugged Cecia tightly in his arms, then reached out and touched her hair lovingly, then let go of her and said, "I'll go and see, there's anything I can do to help the lieutenant, you stay here!" ”
Karl ran in the direction of Parks, he didn't want to go against the grain now, there was a fire burning in his chest, it was the flame of pride he had once been a soldier, he wanted to resist, he wanted to kill the sons of bitches.
"Carl!" As he ran across a meadow, a low voice suddenly came to mind, and then a man stood up from behind him, it was Parks! Carl didn't see Parks' disguise at all.
"If you're German, I'm finished!" Karl looked at Parks appreciatively, "What about the four Germans?" ”
"They're all finished!" Parks nodded, "Okay, are you all packed?" Let's hit the road! As he spoke, Parker tore off the weeds and leaves from his body, and then said to Karl, "Lead the way, let's go to Wigherr." ”
"No problem!" Karl smiled, and the two of them walked towards the room, where Cecia was standing, slim like a budding tulip.
The leaves felt soft under their feet, and their footsteps made a faint sound in the woods. Parks carried Cecia's package on his back, and the two of them followed behind Carl, with Cecia occasionally smiling at Parks.
"I'm sorry!" Parks whispered to Cecia, who suddenly felt guilty for bringing such an encounter to the father and daughter.
"Don't say I'm sorry!" Cecia's smile was like a spring flower, there was no sadness on her face, no unhappiness was seen, she was an optimistic girl, she had forgotten what had happened unpleasantly, at least now she didn't remember what had happened badly.
As if sensing Parks' apology, she smiled, "Actually, we didn't want to live there for a long time. The Germans often went to harass us. Later, Dad heard that you had arrived in the Netherlands, so we were ready to move without you. Move to a place where there are no Germans. As long as it's in the Netherlands. ”
"Yes, Lieutenant, you don't need to feel guilty at all!" Karl turned back to Parks and smiled, "Cecia is telling the truth, so you can ignore it at all. It's just because of you that we made our move plans a little bit earlier! It's not about the big picture! ”
"It makes me feel so much better! Thanks, Carl! Parks couldn't help but smile.
"Lieutenant, can you tell me about you?" Karl didn't look back, but his voice was audible to Parkes, "You killed seven Germans today, and they didn't have a chance to resist, or even shoot, the whole time. How did you do that? It seems a little bit incredible, you know, I was a soldier, and I killed twelve people in the first battle, but I didn't see a single one like you, which was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. ”
Parks smiled slightly, and Cecia on the side also showed a listening look, obviously, she also cared very much and wanted to understand this American.
"Hard training, plus a little luck!" "And calm, not hesitating, I think that's my basic rule when fighting the enemy." For the opponent, it is necessary to observe and understand carefully, and then unleash the fatal blow. ”
Carl nodded again and again, "Very good theory, I really can't believe it, like you, it's really a killing machine." I wonder how many soldiers like you are in the 101st Division of the US Army? ”
Parks smiled slightly, "I am me, I am only one!" ”
Cecia obviously heard Parks' teasing, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Eyes snapped over Parks, her fair face flushed slightly.
The three of them walked a long way, and Cecia was already exhausted, and she kept gritting her teeth and holding on, but she didn't scream. Obviously, she is stubborn, but her pitiful appearance of gritting her teeth makes people feel pity involuntarily.
"Carl, let's take a break!" Parks said to Karl, who was two paces ahead.
Carl turned to look at Cexia, she was sweating profusely and looked exhausted, but her eyes were still bright, and she said to Carl, "Dad, I can still go, it's okay!" ”
"Take a break!" Karl shook his head and laughed, "The Germans can't keep up with us anymore." As he spoke, he picked up the bottom of a large tree and leaned his body against the trunk.
Parks and Cecia sat under a tree, they leaned against the trunk, and then in the back pocket beside Cecia, they took a sip of water, and handed it to Parks: "Drink some, Lieutenant." ”
Parks took it and smiled, "You can call me Lacey!" ”
"Lacey? Les! Cecia grinned, her little nose furrowed.
"Mr. Karl, well, what are your plans for the future?" Parks took a sip of water and handed it to Carl.
Karl took it, took a sip as well, then glanced at Parks and said, "The Dutch underground resistance has approached me before and wanted me to join them, but I refused. I've been through a war, so I'm tired of it, and I just want to spend the rest of my life quietly with my Cecia. But apparently, the Germans didn't let me think that way. Perhaps, I can contact them! ”
"Do you want my help?" Parks nodded, "I might be able to get to know some of them." ”
"No, no! I'll figure it out myself! Karl glanced at Parkes, then looked ahead and said, "That's Wigherr!" We're almost there! ”
