Chapter 317: The European War Ends

By the time Major Parks appeared at the regimental headquarters early in the morning of 9 May, Major Winters had already arrived. He got up early, and he seemed excited. Parks was the first person he saw at the regimental headquarters. So when Parks came in, he stepped forward, hugged Parks hard, and then let go, and said with a smile on his face, "Lacey, best news." The Germans announced their unconditional surrender last evening. All troops were stationed in place. God, I can't believe it's really over."

Lacey was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood. Yesterday was May 8, the day Germany announced its surrender. After staying here for a long time, I actually forgot about this important Victory Day. It dawned on him that everything was true and had been born. Nothing changed, and the Germans announced their unconditional surrender.

"That's great news," Winters chuckled, then looked around and shook his head, "I don't think those guys know about it yet." Alright, Lacey, call them back and let's celebrate. By the way, we're going to have to get the word out to all the brothers. The war is over"

By the time Nexon, Wales and Compton returned, they already knew the news. Parks first relayed the news of the German surrender to the companies, and then the companies immediately relayed it to all the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion.

"Bang bang bang", there were bursts of gunfire outside, and the sound of pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and even light machine guns and some German-made weapons was remembered. The brothers get excited, shooting bullets into the sky to vent their emotions. Yes, now the war is over, but they are alive, what could be more exciting than this?

Winters didn't stop the behavior, he knew that the brothers had held back too long and needed a chance to vent. And they also held a celebration party at the battalion headquarters. Nickerson opened a fine bottle of champagne. When it comes to wine, he is a connoisseur, and even Winters, who doesn't drink, can't resist the wine and the joy of surrender, and they raise their glasses together.

There was a "ding" sound, and the wine glasses collided together with a crisp sound, and then everyone drank it all. At such a moment, no one will be hypocritical, even if Winters drank it in one gulp, his brows furrowed, but there was no hesitation.

The brothers' celebration was even crazier. This is also thanks to the cellars in Parks and Wales. There were tens of thousands of bottles of good wine hidden, and the soldiers of the 2nd battalion divided them all. Of course, the best ones have been jumped out by Nickerson, and there are a truckload of them. Either way, the wine here is one of the best they've ever drunk. What's more, some brothers don't pick their mouths at all, as long as it's wine, they pour it into their mouths.

The day is celebrated until the evening. Webster: They've drunk enough, and they're all drunk. Webster was drunk and fell asleep, but the others could not sleep, and they were noisy and mad with wine. Matthews staggered out of the barracks alone, but ten seconds later, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling from the sky outside, and he stepped on the steps and broke his head and broke his blood, but he didn't know the pain, and he was still talking nonsense on the ground. But no one came out to see him, and they were too drunk to move, but fortunately his injuries were very light.

"What did you hear?" Jericho narrowed his drunken eyes, which were about to open, and asked Piper, who was still pouring wine into his mouth. But Piper, too, was drunk and didn't know that someone had fallen outside, so he burped and laughed, "What else can you hear?" The Germans won't attack us anymore, we've won, God-"

Clearly, they have reached the point where they are not answered. Gilmer was ironing his clothes on the side, and he took out everyone's clothes in the class, and kept burning them. He looked at Jericho and said, "Are you drunk?" Jericho, why do you always get drunk? Look at your clothes, what have become of them? The collar is gone, torn by the women of Germany? As he spoke, he held up the clothes he was ironing in his hand and smiled, but he didn't know that what he was holding in his hand was a kùzi.

Piper was still nagging, he was talking about his things in Bastogne, it was all some old things, but he nagged endlessly, but even when he was drunk, these things made several guys in the class who participated in Baostone recall the same memory, but they were not talking about suffering, but how brave they were when they were in Bauston.

"I killed seven Germans" Piper raised one hand, counted, then raised his palm again, and said, "Seven Germans, I'll let them go to God" He always thought he could hold up seven fingers with one palm. But anyway, they're already drunk.

This day is just the beginning of the celebration. And then the next day, these guys were out of the spectrum. They drink uncontrollably and then take advantage of their drunkenness to go around mischievous. Or go to the homes of local residents to rob them, or run to nearby refugee camps to find the girls there. So much so that Major Winters had to give an order for martial law. Of course, the guys were expected to follow through on these orders, but it helped somewhat. At the very least, the robbery and forcible taking of the refugee girl did not happen again.

But the way to celebrate the victory is nothing more than drinking and finding girls. After the brothers drank heavily, they became more and more eager to get women, girls, girls, girls, **, Miss Germany, Miss France, this is what the brothers wanted. And now these guys have been robbed, they have money in their pockets, and the materials they share in the army are all taken by them. In this regard, the chefs show their superiority. After they took a fancy to the refugees, they took them directly to the kitchen, where there was an inexhaustible supply of food that the refugees desperately needed. And then I used it to take care of the girls.

And getting a girlfriend locally is an easy thing to do. Girls in Austria are better socialized than girls in the Ruhr and other places. The GIs even hugged their new girlfriends in groups of three or five, swaggering through the market. This is nothing new. Even those who are officials often visit the refugee camps in search of girls. Because they have more capital, they have more money in their pockets, and they can even use orders to transfer materials for the girls and even their families to enjoy. Now the materials of the 2nd battalion are inexhaustible and are constantly being transported, and the best way to consume them is to help consume them with these women and even the women's families.

But there are also unexpected circumstances. Sergeant McCreary was one of those unlucky guys. He used his ua rhetoric and a few rolls of Deutsche marks and a package of military food for a married affair. But one day when they were ghostly, something unexpected happened. The woman's husband came home, and he was very angry.

The husband of the "dog*" woman pointed his rifle at him next to the clothes that McClary was still alongside him, and yelled at him in German, "Damn it, put on your clothes, eggs." ”

McCreary was completely panicked at that moment, he hurriedly put on a kù, and the woman was still naked, wrapping her body tightly with a g-sheet, her body trembled, and it was obvious that this scene was unexpected by the two of them.

"Put down the gun, let's talk" McCreary couldn't understand the reason for the man's roar, but he knew he had been caught today. This is definitely not a good thing, and the worst thing is that this man is still holding his rifle aimed at himself.

Suddenly, the woman wrapped in a G sheet yelled at the man's emotions and scolded something, and then annoyed the man. Her husband rushed forward and pointed the butt of his rifle to the woman's shoulder, and suddenly the woman let out a shrill scream, followed by a cry for help. Just as the man struck the second time with the butt of his gun. McCreary had already pounced and grabbed the rifle, and the two men began to fight, both trying to snatch the rifle away. For a while, the sound of fighting in the room and the cries of women were mixed together.

In the midst of the chaos, a "bang" was heard. Immediately the air froze, and the woman's eyes widened in horror as she watched her husband fall crookedly and crookedly. And McCreary raised his rifle with a fierce look.

The thing is very simple, Sergeant McCreary was in ** when he shot and killed the husband of the woman who happened to catch Jian. This was the first accident. This implicated Commander Haliger, McCreary's company, and ordered to write a review. Sergeant McCree, on the other hand, was transferred from Company E by Colonel Sink to the Army as a soldier.

In order to learn his lesson, Winters again ordered that no one should carry a firearm while having fun, and that no one should bring a gun into a local house unless specifically approved. But an order is an order, and no one has ever thought to carry it out seriously. Some went their own way, going on dates with their lovers with guns, and storming the local population to forcibly take some of the items they liked.

The end of the war in Europe was accompanied by the surrender of large numbers of German troops to the Allies. The 2nd Battalion accepted the surrender of about 25 German troops in one single attempt, and they were fully armed, while the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion who went to receive their surrender were full of scumbags, their clothes were dirty, and they all looked exhausted from being drunk many times, like a group of undisciplined routs. The heavily armed German soldiers who surrendered to them were neatly dressed and disciplined, like an elite division.

"I really don't know how we defeated them" Nickerson looked at his own people, then at the Germans, and couldn't help but look incredulous, and then smiled wryly at Major Winters.

"I can't answer you about that," Major Winters smiled at him, and said, "How do you beat them?" It's a deep question, but we still won, didn't we? The process is not important, the result is important"

Yes, they have already promised this war in Europe, one way or another. But now far away in the Pacific battlefield, the US Marine Corps is still fighting bloodily, and all this seems to be far away from the 2nd Battalion and E Company, but in the following days, the division headquarters continuously organized the brothers to watch the documentary of the US military fighting in the Pacific, and all this is not aware of something?

Parks was not sure, but one day it was certain that in early June, the War Department had ordered the transfer of the 1O1 Airborne Division to the Pacific Theater and the Chinese theater. But it is only in May, and the War Department has begun to carry out such propaganda, which is almost a month ahead of history, and does this month's advance mean that some historical processes have begun to change? Parks couldn't answer himself, for he was heading for a future that he couldn't predict.
