Chapter 360 Entering the Dynasty

When the wind is calm and quiet, the sea is always the most beautiful at sunset. 【Full text reading】Xiao ^ said ^ ad-free ~~ net sea 1ang, let the blue slightly rise and fall in the wind, the gentle yín sang the sound of the ship and the chirping of the seabirds made people feel as if everything was still in a peaceful and quiet life, and there was no way to see how dangerous the future would be.

Winters has enjoyed five years of life. He enjoyed going to work, getting off work, and then going fishing in the nearby park and to the nearby river, but the hustle and bustle of the city made him a little uncomfortable, but compared to the days of war, it was the best time. But now he is once again on a path of war.

"Dick, I can't find you in your room," Lieutenant Colonel Halig walked over to the deck and walked towards Winters, who was watching the sunset on the deck, "I think the best way to find an officer who doesn't drink or gamble is on the deck, and sure enough—" Halig spoke to Winters in a relaxed tone.

Winters clasped his hands in front of Xiong, then glanced sideways, and said with a slight smile: "I thought that the officers who drank would not go to the deck, it seems that I made a mistake." He saw the bottle of wine in Haliger's hand and shook his head and smiled.

"Facing the sea and people who don't drink may have a different taste," Halig laughed, and then stood beside Winters, "I know what you're thinking." It's been so long since you've been out of the army, have you regained some of your feelings? Or rather, I still can't forget the brothers of E Company? ”

"Maybe," Winters nodded, "I didn't want to join this war, but I got the order. Now I have to go to North Korea alone. Life is really wonderful, the more you want to get something, the farther away from you; The more you want to dodge, the more you can't get rid of it. Moose, if the 1O1 Airborne Division hadn't been disbanded, maybe I would have stayed in the army for the past five years."

Helig nodded and said, "I think Lacey's departure is the same as yours." Then he took a sip of the bottle, which was empty, and Heliger threw it into the sea, just as Nickerson and Winters had done on the ship when they returned from Germany. Watch the bottles fall into the sea and then rise and fall in the bo1ang.

"Spiel is also coming to North Korea." Hailig leaned his hands on the side of the ship, and then looked down at the ship's splashing 1anghua, "He is the company commander of the 187th regiment, maybe you will have a good cooperation, he has always served in the army, I only learned about his situation recently, he rarely contacts people, of course I rarely contact my brothers, because of my work"

Winters nodded and said, "Yes, maybe together, but what does it matter?" We always have to go to the battlefield, we are still airborne troops, and we have to jump down from the sky in the end. ”

The two men were talking, when they suddenly heard someone walking towards them. The two of them couldn't help but look back, it was Heflang, Toy, and Hubler. Heflang was dressed in a lieutenant's uniform, and the three of them stood in front of Winters and saluted him.

"Take a break" Winters smiled slightly, raised his hand to return the salute, and then stretched out his hand to shake hands with the three of them one by one, "I'm so happy to see you, this is a veteran from Takoya, Heflang, lieutenant officer, very good." And Joe, Hubrough, God, this is the first time we've met in five years," Winters patted the three of them on the shoulder, and said with some emotion.

Toy chuckled, "Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Winters. We all came out of Takoya with you, except for Heflang, of course, who was a supplementary soldier, but no one expected him to become a lieutenant, lieutenant colonel, and we heard that you had a good life for five years, which is really enviable, and to be honest, I now doubt that my decision to stay in the army was the right one. ”

"Joe, say you're here, of course he listened to Lieutenant Colonel Haliger, so we'll try our luck An officer who doesn't drink or gamble is either in the dormitory, but on the deck" Hubler laughed, "So we came over, I didn't expect that our luck was really good" They were five years apart, talking to each other, and already adding more affection to respect, and reducing the distinction between superiors and subordinates to a minimum, thus appearing more casual.

"It's exactly the same, Moose, it seems that you have reached a very tacit understanding over the years" Winters smiled slightly at Haliger, it was obvious that he was referring to what Hubler said, and there was almost no difference between what Haliger said, "Maybe you all know me too well" said and shrugged his shoulders, becoming helpless.

"We heard that you are back in the 1O1 Division, but now it is only the reserves. Is it a 5o6 regiment? "I hope there will be another Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 5O6th Regiment, and to be honest, it's really hard to forget that section." ”

"No, Joe, the 5o6 regiment doesn't exist anymore." Winters sighed, "I'm going to serve as a battalion commander in the 187th Regiment in Korea. The only active regiment of the 1o1 Airborne Division, is this my luck or my misfortune? Winters looked at the sunset over the sea, yes, now the brothers met and were still the same intimacy, but they always felt that something was missing.

"There are still some brothers who were originally in the special forces, but they have also gone a lot in the past few years, and now only a few of us are left who can stay in the army." Lieutenant Colonel Halig looked at Winters' somewhat gloomy expression and said, "Even Cobb and Paikanti, they are injured, and it is estimated that after they recover, they will leave the unit." By the way, Dick, do you have any news of the other brothers? Or have you contacted them? ”

Winters turned around, put himself on the side of the boat, looked at them and nodded, "Yes, I've been with Nick at the chemical plant in New Jersey, and I'm his HR manager, and to be honest, I've enjoyed my life there." I've been in touch with Lacey, and of course a couple of brothers, like Harry, I've been to his wedding, and God, he's really kept that parachute around all the time, and made a wedding dress for his bride, Betty, I don't know why, he didn't have to, at least he's a rich guy - and Piper, do you know what he's doing? Repairing bridges, and living well, married, and of course Bloy called me, he's now a postman, and of course, and Red teaches at Paso Robles High School in California, and he's doing a good job," Winters took a deep breath and said, "That's all, and besides, I don't know where they are?" Maybe everyone's life will be different."

"We all know that Boss is an instructor at West Point," Hubler snapped, but apparently he then realized that it was a bit inappropriate to call Parks the Boss in front of Winters, and kept his mouth shut

Winters noticed his expression, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands to indicate that he had no opinion, in fact, when he was in the 2nd battalion, he knew that the brothers of E-Company all called Parks the leader.

"Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time in the past few years, I heard that he has opened a company now, but he didn't say what he was doing, I didn't ask, and we are limited to phone calls and letters now." Winters smiled, "I always want to organize a group party of the brothers of E-Company, but it always happens to be unlucky, and I don't know where they are."

"It's a good idea," Halig immediately agreed, "To be honest, after this war, I will leave the army, I have had enough of life in the barracks, I thought there would be no war, but such a army, there will be battles all the time, to be honest, Dick, I'm a little tired"

"Who isn't?" Winters nodded.

Several people were not talking, they looked at the sea, and then listened to the sound of the sea, and suddenly Toy turned his head and asked: "Lieutenant Colonel Winters, maybe we can give it a try as you said, we invite the brothers to a party, maybe we can get in touch, the brothers of E Company still have a contact address, we can look for it"

"I agree" Hubler raised his hand, then Heflang raised his hand as well, Winters shrugged his shoulders at Haliger, and the two of them raised their hands in unison, yes, all the brothers who have served in the E Company want to know how each brother is doing. They had spent the war-torn years together, and they also wanted to share the good things together in peacetime

A few of them are veterans of Company E reunited, so during the days of sailing on the sea, they will often gather together, and then chat, talk about the days in Company E, and the days after separation, Winters talks most about some interesting things about his and Nixon's life in the factory, while Halig and they talk more about life in the barracks. And e-link is the word that comes up the most in their conversation.

While they were on their way to Korea, the Korean army was victorious, capturing Seoul on June 28, Daejeon on July 2o, Mokpo on July 24, and Jinju on July 31. The Korean ** team and the U.S. troops were retreated all the way to Busan. At this time, the 25th Division of the US Army received an order to hold the southern defense line and was not allowed to retreat. The Korean People's Army has occupied 9o land on the Korean Peninsula, 92 of the population. On 6 August, General MacArthur met with other senior officers in Tokyo and persuaded them to implement the risky Inchon landing plan.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Winters and members of the Black Panther Special Forces successfully landed in North Korea. At the port of Busan, the transport ship slowly approached the dock, and some soldiers and officers began to walk down the gangway. At this time, Busan was completely out of a wartime city, and from time to time there were military vehicles full of US troops or South Korean ** teams speeding on the road. When they disembarked, there was a line of trucks parked on the edge of the harbor, and several jeeps on the other, one of which was headed toward Winters by a lieutenant officer.

Winters was talking to Haliger, Heflang, Thoy, and Hubler when he heard someone shouting, "Lieutenant Colonel Winters"

Winters turned to look at the lieutenant and said, "You know me?" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, there are not many people who don't know you in the 1O1 Airborne Division, I was a veteran of the 1O1 Division, but we are not a regiment" said he saluted Winters, "I am here to pick you up, the 187th Regiment is now in the stage of recuperation, the regimental headquarters is located on the other side of Busan, only more than twenty miles away from the front line, of course, now Kim Il Sung's shells can't hit there" said and went to mention Winters's luggage.

"Looks like we're going to break up" Winters and Halig gave a hug, then hugged the other three one by one, turned and left. At this time, someone was shouting for the Black Panther special forces to board the truck.

Halig stood there, watching Winters' jeep fade out of his sight, then turned around, patted Hefrang's arm and said, "Let's go too, man, the war is going to start again."
