Chapter 0414: The Winner (Part 1)
On April 18, the German resistance that had lasted for a long time in the Ruhr area finally came to an end. About 320,000 Germans laid down their weapons and surrendered, moved to the E Company in Dormagen, witnessing the endless stream of German prisoners of war.
"Look, they lined up dejectedly, following the team aimlessly, and walked forward numbly - see, how pitiful they are!" Wei Ling, who was not punished, looked at the endless queue of German prisoners of war, and roared: "But they look pitiful now! Under the leadership of Hitler's bastard, this war was launched. Countless countries were passively or actively involved in this war, and countless people died because of this war!"
"It is this group of bastards who look pitiful now. They invade one country after another with their might!"
Wei Ling roared at the endless Germans:
"Come on! Come on and kill me! I'm here, I'm waiting for you here! Come on and kill me! Don't you like to kill people? Aren't you arrogant? Don't you want to conquer this world? Come on and conquer!"
Wei Ling roared out of control and expressed the voices of most paratroopers. Many of these paratroopers joined the army since 1941 and experienced rigorous training, from the United States to Britain, from Normandy to the Netherlands, then to Belgium, and finally set foot in Germany.
They experienced countless hard battles and lost many comrades. They even thought they might not be able to see the Germans surrender, and they once wanted to end their painful journey in despair.
And now...
Such a large number of German troops surrendered, and the death knell of the Third Reich had come to an end.
They won!
They are now the winners, looking up high above these dejected losers, nearly a year of war career, several years of military career, those sufferings, those persistence, those sins...
They should vent their hysterical venting at these losers, and they should roar at these losers, invaders, evil people, and angry roar!
Zheng Yingqi looked at his comrades who were in a mad mood and felt inexplicably.
He remembered his years in the world of sword-drawing, such a long time, so many brothers, comrades, and ancestors' efforts, and so many people gritted their teeth and carried it to the death.
When Japan announces unconditional surrender, how excited that country should be!
When Japan announces unconditional surrender, how ecstatic that perseverance and perseverance nation should be!
[I really want to go back and see the nation and country that are about to usher in a new life.]
Zheng Yingqi looked at the east from afar, his eyes full of desire.
...
There is a refugee camp in Dormagen, and Company E was ordered to liberate it.
When assigned tasks, the platoon leaders looked at the aerial photos of the refugee camp sent by Spears. Wilsh couldn't help but say, "Is this a refugee camp? Is this a city?"
"There is a huge refugee camp there," Spears said with certainty: "There are people who have been captured by Germans from various countries. The Germans have built factories around them based on this refugee camp. Those arrested people work in the factories during the day, and at night, they will be placed in shelters and isolated."
Spears, who had obtained a lot of refugee camp information from the regiment headquarters, continued: "According to the intelligence, there should be a guardian force of a German infantry battalion, but I think now, the enemy must be running out of shadow. Let's witness how the Germans treat the labor they caught - some of you have always thought that the Germans are a good nation, and I think this should change your opinion."
No one could imagine what the German sweatshop would look like. They imagined this picture with the greatest malicious intention:
Countless workers in rags were numb to work, and the German supervisors often used whips to whip those who worked.
"Oh my God, that must be a life that only slaves have..." O'Keeffe couldn't help but tremble when he listened to the image of the refugee camp imagined by the veterans.
Zheng Yingqi showed a hint of paleness on the side - never overestimate the virtues and morals of the occupier. When power can be used at will, morality is just a ridiculous joke.
“We are about to witness a hell…”
Zheng Yingqi said softly, it was essentially just a labor camp - what if it was a terrible concentration camp for the Germans?
Since Zheng Yingqi arrived at the second platoon, the first platoon no longer has to play the role of Fengya. This time he entered the refugee camp, the second platoon became Fengya without surprise and drove towards the point on the map.
When the destination is still a few kilometers away, the vague "wall" can be seen in the telescope. It was not until the paratroopers approached that the so-called wall was a fence surrounded by iron wire. The fence surrounded the inside and the outside, and the outside was like the world.
"Oh my God, what did I see?" Wilsh took off the telescope in shock and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. The curious paratroopers around him hurriedly took the telescope over and began to look away. Then, they all expressed a feeling similar to Wilsh.
What did they see?
The dense crowds were tightly attached to the barbed wire, just like the prisoners in the prison looking outside from afar - but, no matter how pitiful the prisoners in the prison could be assigned to prison uniforms and had strong bodies, but what about those people?
They all had bare and skinny bodies, looking at the approaching army in the distance.
They are really skinny. The paratroopers who approached have truly seen what skinny and skinny means - these numb people, every small unit, their flesh is tightly held on the bones. The most straightforward example is the way they wrap a weapon with a layer of cloth!
"Oh my God, they...they..."
Countless paratroopers were so shocked that they couldn't speak. In their perception, they couldn't even believe that people could really lose to this level.
Through the ridiculous fence, the US military's squad was confronting these skin-bones in a daze, one side was numb, while the other side was shocked and incredible.
After a long time, Zheng Yingqi broke the "tactic understanding" between the two sides, first in English and then in French and Dutch, saying: "We are the US team, you are all free now!"
Many people believe that for these people in hell, the word freedom may be an extremely precious word, but in fact, when people are no longer called by humans for a long time, the so-called freedom and dignity are worthless because...
Hunger is the most terrifying and desperate thing for humans!
After a long time, a skinny and bone-headed person said, "Is there anything to eat?"
"have!"
“Yes! There are many.”
The paratroopers agreed in a mess and tried hard to take out all kinds of food from themselves. They regarded the garbage K-level dry food, the chocolate they carried with them, and the C-level dry food were quickly taken out. The paratroopers tried to hand the food to the poor skinny people inside, but were stopped by Zheng Yingqi. He communicated with the group of people with difficulty:
"Listen, we are Americans, and we are here to liberate you, but we need your cooperation. The food will arrive soon. We will prepare food for each of you, but you cannot be messed up. Listen, you must keep your current appearance. We will treat you in different regions, but you cannot be confused. Now, we will first open a gap and enter here. Please cooperate and don't crowd..."
Zheng Yingqi repeated the above content in a nagging manner. It was not until a large area of skin and bones around him understood that he signaled Wei Ling and the others to use pliers to open a "gate" on the fence made of iron wire, and then entered it with the paratroopers.
There was no battle, and the Germans ran away three days ago without a trace - only about 60,000 to 70,000 workers from all over the country were left here.
The paratroopers who arrived one after another slowly controlled the stench of refugee camps. Countless people gathered together and would produce an astonishing stench, and a thing called plague was also breeding. The Germans had a very experienced way in creating one isolation area after another in the refugee camps, throwing all suspicious contagious bodies into it.
There is hell in hell.
Company E stayed in this refugee camp for five days, and cooperated with the rescue troops to drag all the skin and bones that could be rescued here out of hell - and at the same time, he also realized what hell is.
In five days, they saw the hell that they thought they were the most miserable in the world and were greatly impacted. After the five-day rescue, Company E received a notice of the holiday - it was a group holiday. The superiors were worried that they would suffer too much, so they gave them a full five-day holiday. After Spears applied to the superiors, he took everyone from Company E to Cologne.
Cologne is one of the cities with the most severe air strikes in Germany. Almost the entire city has turned into ruins. After the paratroopers came here to observe, the indignation in their hearts finally dissipated a lot.
And the experiences of the refugee camp that everyone had kept silent about before gradually began to talk to each other among the paratroopers.
After O'Keeffe woke up by a nightmare, he couldn't help but approach Zheng Yingqi who came forward to check. He said with a pale face:
"I can't believe it. In some places, just by digging it lightly, bones can be digged out - in some places it is sometimes blown out, and a rotten corpse is blown out. I really can't believe that there is such a hell in this world."
O'Keeffe talked about his experiences in the refugee camps - some places were blown up because the gas suddenly burst out after the corpse rotted, causing the thin soil covered by the corpse, and then layers of corpses were exposed.
With such a scene, many veterans who crawled out of the dead were still scared, not to mention O'Keeffe, a new recruit who had just joined the E Company, not long ago. Although he was baptized in the paratrooper school in the United States,...
How many people can accept such a picture?
Zheng Yingqi patted the sweaty recruits and comforted softly: "Everything is over, they are all saved, and the Germans are also receiving punishment. Everything will be fine, everything will be fine..."
Will everything be fine?
Zheng Yingqi, who said this, was negative. At least he closed his eyes now and it was the scene of hell.
...
On the last day of the holiday, E Lian was wandering around again and again to watch the "wonders" here.
There are two "miracles" here.
The masterpiece of the Air Force - Ruins.
The Army's masterpiece - "The Woods".
The ruins were nothing good, but the endless ruins made the paratroopers laugh unbridledly when they thought of the laborers who lived under the guns of the Germans or were driven by cattle and horses.
It was a happy and heart-warming laugh, and it was also a great laugh that came after the good cycle of reincarnation!
In such joy, looking back at the "woods" makes people feel even more happy.
The "woods" are not real woods, but candles, many candles, and there are German corpses hanging on those candles, shaking with the wind, like the body of a big tree full of fruits swaying in the wind.
Even a recruit like O'Keeffe would not have sympathy because of so many German corpses. He even laughed and shouted: "It's so good-looking - these devils should be hung like this!"
For those who have experienced the refugee camp hell, these Germans look really good when they are hanged!
Not far away, a group of elderly German couples were crying. I don’t know whether they were crying for the ruins or crying for every fruit in the prosperous "woods". In short, they were crying desperately and sadly.
The crying of the old people easily touched people's hearts. The paratroopers' arrogance of laughter slowly calmed down, and finally they looked at each other at a loss. At that moment, they might have returned to the era when they were not baptized by war.
"Go back." Spears' low voice ended the sightseeing. The paratroopers of the E Company slowly left here. After a long time, they listened carefully here and could hear a lot of paratroopers' curses. These curses formed a sentence:
"The war of dog days!"
...
The end of the Germans has arrived.
The Soviet army was launching an attack on Berlin. The Soviets who had been attacked by the Germans and launched a final attack on Berlin.
The entire Berlin was trembling with the searchlights, shells, bombs and anger of the Soviets, and the final dying struggle.
At this time, the E Company headed to the mountainous areas of Bavaria and the Alps - the target, Berchtesgaden's Eagle Nest!
On the marching train, Spears said his goal this time: "We must occupy it before Hitler arrives at the Eagle's Nest, and we must not allow this demon to be protected there and continue his sinful life!"
Compared with the worship of Hitler by many ignorant people in later generations, all countries that were hostile to Germany were full of hatred and hatred for this name that launched a war that made the whole world tremble in the shadow of war.
He is a capable man, rising again with the debt-ridden Germany, but he is really a demon - among the heinous crimes committed by the Germans, he should bear the greatest responsibility.
Because the railways that passed through Germany were damaged by carpets by the Allied Air Force, the troops entering the Eagle's Nest had to take a detour. They had to pass through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France to re-enter Germany, and also continued along the Rhine. This was a long journey, so long that the soldiers had to pass the time with all kinds of boring chats.
However, Zheng Yingqi was very silent during the journey. He silently calculated the time and was waiting for that day to come.
Which day?
April 30, 1945.
That day, the culprit of this war started, making the whole world tremble, and Hitler, who died of countless people, got married to Aiwa, who had gone from lover to wife the day before, committed suicide by taking medicine. After taking medicine, Hitler shot himself with a pistol.
That shot was the end of a dark age.
That pair of poison and that shot was an explanation to countless people in this war.
After experiencing the Normandy landing in 1944 to the present day, Jacob, who has witnessed countless unjust souls in the refugee camp, is patiently waiting for the arrival of this day.
[If there is hell, I wish you will stay in hell forever.]
