1, recruit training: 1942 In Georgia, USA, a group of diametrically opposed young people from all directions volunteered to become the latest branch of the US military-airborne troops, and formed10/E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment. Under the sober and rigorous training of the company commander and captain, they walked from one to another.
2.d Day:1June 6, 944 was the first day of the Allied invasion of France. Thousands of airborne troops flew across the English Channel to France. Under the strong artillery attack, they parachuted into France, and all the soldiers did not land at the scheduled place, so Captain Winters gathered the lonely soldiers and set out to find other brothers of E Company.
3. Kalantang: Two days after the formal allied attack, Company E was ordered to capture a small town called Kalantang. The battle was quite successful, but after losing several brothers, Bliss and other soldiers became unfit for the war. They stayed in Normandy for 36 days and returned to England after several fierce battles.
4. Recruit support: Due to heavy casualties, a group of newly trained parachuting recruits joined Company E, just in time for operation market garden, and a large number of soldiers parachuted into the Netherlands occupied by the Germans at that time. In Eindhoven, they didn't encounter any resistance, but a sharp German soldier from a neighboring town made Company E and a group of British tanks retreat one after another, causing heavy casualties.
5. Crossroads: Captain Winters led his soldiers to perform a dangerous task on the levee in the Netherlands, and achieved unprecedented victory. He was promoted to the executive officer of the infantry battalion. Although he was promoted, most of Winters' work was administrative affairs, which made him very dissatisfied. He is worried about who will lead the three companies he directs.
6. Bastogne: In the cold winter, the hungry and cold company E fought alone in the forest outside Bastogne, Belgium, and held the allied defense line. Only a small amount of supplies and ammunition arrived, but there was no winter clothes to keep out the cold. The Germans asked them to surrender at this time, and the leading brigadier general mcauliffe only replied: "Bah!" This word became the most famous word in the history of World War II!
7. Breakdown point: Company E was exhausted after stopping the Germans in Bastoni, Belgium, and they had to seize the nearby town of Foy from the enemy. A fierce shelling caused many brothers in robes to die, and Winters was helpless because of the incompetence of the commander Captain Dyke. In the end, although Company E captured Foy Town, it paid a heavy price.
8. Last patrol: Company E came to the German border town of Haggner in Alsace. They were ordered to send 15 scouts across the river to catch the enemy as prisoners. Captain Jones, who just graduated from West Point Military Academy, is eager to gain real combat experience, so he volunteered to undertake this task. Although the mission was successful, he also sacrificed a paratrooper. This incident prompted winters to disobey the orders of his superiors.
9. What are you fighting for? Company E finally entered Germany. Incredibly, they didn't encounter great obstacles. After such a long battle, they finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
10, point: Berchtesgaden, Bavaria province in southern Germany, was originally the base camp of the supreme leader of Nazi Germany. E company entered here and destroyed Hitler's hilltop fortress in one fell swoop. At this time, Company E was faced with an emergency deployment in the Pacific theater, and all the soldiers began to compare their' scores' to see who was most qualified to return home with honor. At this point, the Japanese army finally surrendered and ended World War II.
