my battlefield my company

Chapter 243 Bar, dog meat, wine money
It was finally dark outside.

Looking out of the window, on the other side of the river, the place occupied by the Germans was dark at first glance. When I looked again, there was a faint light of fire behind the first few rows of dark houses on the opposite bank. It was the Germans who were also warming up.

Like the Allied forces, the Germans were also exhausted, and their rear was also working hard to resupply, trying to restore some of their strength to their soldiers as soon as possible.

This is like two evenly matched masters. At the end of the fight, both sides are exhausted and familiar with each other's martial arts. It depends on who recovers their skills first and strikes first.

It was still raining outside, and the commanders of both sides didn't want to attack each other at this time, because both sides had set up secret sentries on the river bank, so it was difficult to form a sneak attack.

Moreover, the terrain of the farm is complicated, and many places are overgrown with thorns. On rainy nights, the view is even worse.

Since both sides are resting, their respective defenses are naturally leak-tight, in case the other party's sudden attack.

From time to time, there are cold gunshots outside accompanied by screams, which are particularly scary in the night.

This should be the snipers hiding in the dark on both sides are testing each other, and they are also trying to suppress each other and let the other party know that there are snipers in their army, so don't act rashly.

When Fan Xiaosi and Gordon came, they saw a lot of empty wine bottles on the side of the road, and the two decided that there must be a place selling wine nearby. In such a gloomy and cold weather, if there is a jug of wine, it would be a treasure. wine.

So Gordon took Fan Xiaosi outside to inquire around, and finally let them know that there was a tavern in the manor, which was still selling wine before dark, and the owner had already left after dark, and was escorted by the army to a safe area .This tavern is run by an old couple who have lived here for decades and cannot leave their homeland.

When the Allied forces landed from Normandy, most of the residents in the manor left overnight. When the two sides fought around the manor and in the manor, the tavern opened by the old couple was safe and sound from the artillery fire.

The soldiers fighting on both sides tried their best to avoid the war from this tavern, because many soldiers had bought wine and drank in this tavern before to keep warm in the cold rain.

To put it bluntly, this old couple is harmless to humans and animals, and does not pose any threat to the warring parties.

The old couple hid in the tavern all day long, until the Allied forces completely occupied the place. The division headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division felt that the old couple would be in danger if they hid in the tavern. In the dark night, shells They don't have eyes.

So after persuasion, the old couple left in an Allied military vehicle.

Gordon and Fan Xiaosi went to that tavern secretly, and there was no need to break in because the door of the tavern was only ajar.

The two walked into the bar. There were more than 20 bottles of wine on the counter, and the cash drawer on the counter was full of wads of coins, including francs and US dollars.

This is the money left by the soldiers after taking the wine.

It seems that business in this bar without a boss and a waiter is better than ever before.

Looking at the price of each bottle of wine on the counter, Gordon and Fan Xiaosi spent all their savings and took away all the wine, owed the money for the wine that was not enough, and would send it back later.

The two returned to their big warehouse. When the soldiers saw the wine, they immediately surrounded them. Everyone drank the hot water in the tank, divided the wine equally, and then each took out the money and returned it to Fan Xiaosi and Gordon.

Winters, who seldom drank, was also given a small half cup. He sat with Yan Zhi and continued to smoke the dried cigarette. It was still early to go to bed at this time, and he had to wait for the clothes to dry completely before wearing them. Only when the open fire is extinguished can we sleep peacefully. If the enemy touches the outside of the house in the middle of the night and walks along the open fire, a few grenades can kill everyone in the warehouse.

There were more than 100 people and more than [-] bottles of wine, which were quickly distributed. The soldiers felt that it was not enough, so Gordon and Fan Xiaosi pooled up enough money, took another six or seven people out, and returned to the bar.

The wine on the bar counter is sold out, and there must be some wine in the basement wine cellar at the bar.

Private Alton Moore and Marquila also went out together. Just now Gordon and Fan Xiaosi said that there were many field backpacks by the bar.

When they arrived at the bar, several Allied soldiers came out of the bar empty-handed, shrugging at Gordon and the others, indicating that there was no more alcohol in the bar.

After Fan Xiaosi and Gordon waited for the Allied soldiers to leave, they opened the door of the bar and went in with the soldiers to find wine in the underground wine cellar.

Altonmore and Marquila went to look for something to eat where there were field packs, and their field packs were lost.

While searching for field backpacks, Marquila was a little uneasy, because he realized that these backpacks were taken from dead paratroopers. If they were Germans, he would gladly accept them, but these backpacks were all Allies. paratroopers.

Driven by hunger and cold, however, they emptied their backpacks and collected sugar, hygiene products, food and money to take away.

Suddenly, Alton knelt down and said in a barely audible voice, "Let's get the fuck out of here."

Marquila glanced at Alton and saw him staring at a pair of little braided baby shoes with regretful pain on his face.

So Maqila also knelt down, and they put back all the things they picked up.

The Germans' field packs were another matter, and they would go into them for souvenirs whenever they had the chance.

Especially Zhao Fugui, who is a veteran of dead bodies. It takes 5 minutes for others to find all the pockets on a dead German devil. Zhao Fugui can find the corpses of five German devils in 5 minutes. Dark pocket.

The German devils had watches and good cigarette cases with the mark of the ** cross on them. This was a sought-after item for soldiers of the independent company. It didn’t matter if they were good daggers.

Since Tuesday's baby got a shiny golden ring, the gold ring has become the favorite of the soldiers of the independent company. They often exchange rings with the soldiers of the E company with their cigarette cases and watches.

Regardless of the size of the gold ring, it is still gold if it is smashed, and it will be of great use in the future if you bring it back to China. Watches are useless. Most of the people who can buy watches in China are military officers. Soldiers dare not sell watches to military officers. Not good, not only will he be insulted and beaten, but he may even lose his life.

Zhao Fugui and Zhou Zhouwa also took a few soldiers out, and after a while, they dragged back a few fat dead dogs from outside.

The dogs were just killed by them. These dogs were locked in the yard and tied up. The owner was in a hurry before leaving and did not take the dogs with him. There was still food left by the owner in the dog bowl.

Zhao Fugui and the others will not eat the dogs that gnaw on dead bodies on the road for the time being, unless one day there is really nothing to eat.

Zhao Fugui's method of pulling the dog's skin is very deft, and he looks like an old hand. When he was a bandit, he often went down the mountain to catch some dogs and brought them back to eat.

Cows, horses, and donkeys are all of the common people's family.

Zhao Fugui never did the immoral thing of robbing ordinary people's cattle, horses, and donkeys.

All the internal organs of the dogs were thrown away, and several dogs were roasted directly on the fire rack.
