Chapter Seventy-Seven: What a Big Surprise
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on the iron-framed bed, the dim space filled with a disgusting stench. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I sat up in shock and jumped out of bed to look for my teammates.
I was on a boat, and the wind and waves were quite strong outside, and the cabin was swaying with the waves.
Walking out of the lounge, I met a number of American GIs, one of whom was very happy to see me.
"Hi Pete"
I looked left and right to make sure he was calling me.
"Hi there"
"Didn't you, you really broke your head?"
"You are?"
"I'm Potter."
He touched my head, and I realized that I had a bandage on my head. A sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in my heart.
"Potter, do you have a mirror?"
"What do you want mirrors for?"
He took a vanity case out of his butt pocket and handed it to me, I opened it and slowly looked at the person in the mirror.
"Smack"
"It's a big game!"
The vanity case fell to the ground and the mirror shattered into several pieces. I was horrified to find out that I didn't know anyone in the mirror!
"Hey! What are you doing? ”
Potter picked up the box and looked at the cracked mirror to cry.
"Look what you've done! Here's my gift for Lisa! My God! ”
I ignored him, and my mind was in a mess right now. It would be a disaster if all the people were as different as I am.
"Whew...... This mission starts, all participants change their appearance, randomly assign positions, and the same team is in the same camp. Each of the mission target teams kills one Recruiter, friendly reminder: deliberately killing friendly natives will be wiped out! No use of any items in the space! ”
The speaker's prompt is here, the content makes me chill, the time to test my acting skills is here, and the "surprise" given by the speaker is really big!
There are eight of us on the team, which means we need to take out eight Drafts. It doesn't seem that difficult, but the problem is that all the members of the clan have changed and are randomly assigned to a million natives, and the only way to gather teammates is to reveal their true identities.
Note, however, that killing an allied Recruiter counts as completing the mission!
So the most important thing at the moment is to hide your true identity and protect yourself, and then think about finding your teammates.
My performance just now was a bit eye-catching, and I don't know if it has attracted the attention of someone who cares. I secretly looked around at the soldiers, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Back in the break room, Potter was still holding his vanity case, looking sad.
"I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now"
I sincerely apologize, it's important to have a good relationship with the Aboriginal people, they are the key to whether you can hide it perfectly!
"Humph!" Potter clearly didn't want to talk to me.
I felt in my pocket, and there were a few dollars in it, and I didn't count them, they all slipped into Potter's hand.
"What are you doing?" Potter was taken aback, he had at least more than 400 money in his hand, and he didn't know how many mirrors he could buy.
"It's my apology, let's go buy some nice things for my girlfriend"
Potter looked at me strangely, and my heart sank, not knowing where I had gone wrong.
"It seems that you did have amnesia, you actually forgot Lisa, she is also your dream girl, you really let me chase her"
I was full of black lines, I didn't expect such a big oolong.
I stayed on the ship for the rest of the day, only a short two hours a day to go to the deck to get some air, and when the time came, I was pushed back by the gendarmes.
The converted transport ship I was on is still on docks in the UK, and Operation Overlord has not yet begun. I talked a lot with Potter these days, and this innocent boy almost told me when he wet the bed for the last time under my guidance.
On June 5, 1944, the long-prepared Normandy operation was about to begin, and the troops participating in the war left the dock one after another by boat and rushed to the assembly area.
The central area of the English Channel was very busy at this time, and all the troops involved in the landing were assembled in this place to assign tasks.
Today the weather was bad, the clouds were thick, the wind was strong, the German reconnaissance planes could not take off, and the Germans did not know anything about the actions of the Allies.
The Allies amassed a total of 2.88 million troops. The army has a total of 36 divisions, including 23 infantry divisions, 10 armored divisions, and 3 airborne divisions, with about 1.53 million men. The Navy has about 5,300 warships in operation, including 13 battleships, 47 cruisers, 134 destroyers, about 1,200 destroyers, 4,126 landing ships, and more than 5,000 transport ships. The Air Force has 13,700 combat aircraft, including 5,800 bombers, 4,900 fighters and 3,000 transport aircraft ******.
My unit was the U.S. 1st Infantry Division, which and the 29th Infantry Division landed on the Omaha beachhead.
After the assignment was completed, the huge fleet began to disperse and set sail for Normandy in five directions.
In the early hours of June 6, we walked out of the cabin where we had been staying for several weeks under the command of an officer, and the air outside was somewhat cold and smelled of the sea.
By the light of the transports around me, I could see countless soldiers crawling down from the transports and into the landing craft waiting below.
"Pete!"
Potter's face was a little pale, and he didn't know if it was fear or coldness.
"What's wrong?"
I asked with concern. Potter is actually a very good person, and thanks to his explanations during these days in the cabin, I was able to quickly integrate into these soldiers.
"Are you afraid?"
Potter's eyes looked in the direction of Normandy, and his face was terrified, this recruit who had been in the army for less than 4 months had the same problems that recruits would have.
"I'm afraid, but I'm sure God will bless us"
I've gradually gained experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and I just need to distract him.
"Buzz"
As the sky began to brighten, the air seemed to tremble as the vast Allied fleet of fighters and bombers flew over us.
Soon there was a thunderous sound in the distance obscured by the fog, and the Allied bombardment began!
The landing craft undulated sharply with the waves, the seasick soldiers fell into bad luck, and the sound of vomiting was everywhere in the boat. I was fine at first, but after smelling the sour smell for a long time, I also began to feel nauseous, and quickly grabbed a handful of paper bags, vomited so much, and felt that vomiting was also contagious.
The closer you get to Normandy, the bigger the waves. Many waves poured into the landing craft, and the soldiers took off their steel helmets and drained them out of the landing craft in the icy water.
"Boom Boom"
Not far away, the battleship opened fire, smoke from the chimney-like barrels, and the discharged shells flew into the distance with bursts of thunder.
I watched with envy at these steel behemoths, and the waves that tortured us to the point of being inhuman did not affect them in the slightest.
After half an hour of sailing, the Omaha beachhead finally appeared in front of us.
