my battlefield my company

Chapter 231 Post-War Omaha Beach

When the fighting stopped, many soldiers began to vomit. Just now, when life and death were at stake, they forgot about nausea and ignored the blood plasma and dead bodies all over the ground.

Now, the fighting has stopped on the battlefield, and as far as the eye can see, there are corpses of both the enemy and us everywhere.

Those distorted to the point of deformation are mostly paratrooper corpses. They were shot through parachutes while in the air, and they were shattered beyond recognition when they fell.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole asked the paratroopers who had just landed and did not participate in the life-and-death battle just now to pull over the parachutes on the ground and cover the corpses of their stragglers who had been thrown beyond recognition. This is the only way they can do so far.

There are also some soldiers from both the enemy and our own who died together holding each other, and it took a lot of force to separate their bodies.If they could not be separated, the soldiers took out daggers and bayonets and cut off the limbs of the German devils...

The painful groans of wounded soldiers can be heard everywhere on the battlefield. Army medical soldiers shuttled back and forth among the wounded, giving the seriously injured soldiers a shot of morphine to relieve pain, and reassuring them that a plane would come to pick them up and leave the battlefield immediately. Better hospital for treatment.

Many seriously wounded soldiers kept asking their comrades if they could survive, and some wounded soldiers even began to explain their funeral to their comrades.

Many soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time hugged their seriously injured or dead comrades, some weeping silently, some crying loudly, although before that, each other had already thought of the worst ending.

The best gift for the Allied soldiers guarding the captured German soldiers is to shoot their medical soldiers in front of them, and then find their medical bags and destroy them in front of them...

Regarding the behavior of the guards, no one would condemn them. On the battlefield, you die or you live. No one is kind enough to see his brother's corpse lying on the ground and rescue the enemy's wounded soldiers.

It would have been merciful not to have shot all these German prisoners.

The brutality of this battle made the Allied soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time feel horrified.

After a big battle, the ground is full of messy internal organs, blood, shells, shell casings, bullets, bullet casings, smashed machine guns, and smashed rifles.

The Allied soldiers held their guns and surrounded the remaining four or five hundred German soldiers. All the German prisoners lowered their heads and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Get pulled out and shot by angry allied soldiers.

Many Allied soldiers blamed these German prisoners for the tragic death of their comrades-in-arms, and often shot four or five prisoners together.

In this regard, the officers of the Allied forces also turned a blind eye. After all, whoever’s soldiers feel sorry for them. Seeing the tragic death of their own soldiers on the ground, the officers hated these German prisoners in their hearts. If they were not worried about leaking the news after the war , They wished they could collectively shoot these prisoners and avenge their comrades.

Therefore, from time to time, gunshots from the Allied forces sounded-the soldiers always had a way to kill the prisoners-forcing them to flee-forcing them to pick up weapons without bullets-forcing them to resist.

When Allied soldiers "spotted" a German trying to flee, they didn't hesitate to shoot.

In the following period of time, more than 100 German prisoners were shot because they wanted to "escape".

It wasn't until Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole felt that it was enough to kill, that he stopped the Allied soldiers from "discovering" the excuse for the German prisoners to escape.

Yan Zhi asked Dai Laifu and others who returned to the team after the truce to count the number of people in the independent company, as well as the casualties.

Dai Laifu reported to the officer that there are currently 67 people from the independent company present, and none of them died. However, in the life-and-death battle just now, everyone was more or less lacquered, and six of them were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield.

While Dai Laifu was speaking, Wu Gen returned to the team with several soldiers. When they landed, some of them landed on the roof of the church, some were hung on the branches of trees, and some of them landed in the sea and almost drowned. Jiang Shuishun Worst of all, when he was about to fall to the ground, his parachute was pierced by a stray bullet, and he fell heavily to the ground, breaking two ribs.

All the soldiers are helping each other quickly and treating the wounds.

The supplies of the United States and the allied countries are very strong, and every soldier carries high-quality medicine on his body, ready to be needed in case of injury.

Lieutenant Winters came to Yan Zhi who was sitting on the ground, took out two cigarettes, lit them together, and gave one to Yan Zhi.

When he was at the McCall military training base, Winters often saw the soldiers of the independent company smoking together like this. Sometimes, a soldier could light seven or eight cigarettes at the same time and then distribute them to his companions.

At that time, Winters and his soldiers felt that this was unhygienic, so they often secretly laughed at the soldiers of the independent company.

But after this life-and-death battle today, Winters suddenly discovered that his soldiers who had escaped from death were sitting together, learning from the soldiers of the independent company, who lit seven or eight cigarettes alone, and then seven or eight hands Stretched over, each took a cigarette and smoked silently.

It wasn't until this moment that Winters and his soldiers realized how important the brothers who were born and died with them on the battlefield were.

Fighting with them on the battlefield just now, survived and sat smoking together, watching the dead brothers lined up in rows, everyone was silent, no one cheered for their survival, they all knew , without the death of those brothers lying on the ground, there would be no life for them.

Winters didn't say thank you to Yan Zhi.

Only those who have been on the battlefield of life and death know that a word of thanks cannot express their gratitude.

Yan Zhi's clothes were already stained red by the enemy's blood. Winters flicked off the nail-covered finger on Yan Zhi's back: "If the soldiers of the 116th Infantry Company were defeated by you, Being able to see your performance today, they should thank you for your mercy at that time."

Yan Zhi smiled faintly, and exhaled smoke: "We Chinese have a saying, "If a man respects me a foot, I respect him a foot."

Winters smiled, he understood, although there is no unit of measurement in the United States—— Zhang.

Looking at the dead body of a German soldier in front of him, the helmet was kicked flat, the skull was broken, red, white, yellow, and black were spilled all over the ground, Yan Zhi knew that this was what he did.He was tired of this kind of killing, but he couldn't stop this kind of killing. If he didn't kill the enemy, he would have to be killed by the enemy.

Before time travel, as a top killer, he killed countless people, but when he traveled to the war era, he killed even more people...

Is life only like this, can't help it?

Yan Zhi smoked a cigarette silently, looking at the appalling post-war scene in front of him, he suddenly felt that peace was so precious that he felt it was out of reach.
