A war torn story
Chap 5: the encounter
D+4 June 10th, 1944
"Ulrich, Ulrich… wake up it's time to take Kadicsburg." Josh's whispers to Ulrich
"What, what time is it?" Ulrich asks him
"It's 0600hrs time to move out." Josh tell him
"Load up your B.A.R and get breakfast, hurry up." Josh still whispering
Ulrich opens a can of spam, gets out a chocolate bar and gets his canteen out, and starts eating. After that he opens he ammo pouch and grabs a clip of B.A.R ammo, whacks it into his B.A.R (if you want to know what it is, it is a Browning Automatic Rifle). He gets up out of his foxhole and stretches, he sees other soldiers of his battalion do the same thing.
"Alright Easy Company, move out." Josh again still whispering
"Yawn… so how did you sleep Ulrich?" a private named PFC. Jacobs asks
"Good, wish I could sleep in a bit more." Ulrich answers
"Same here" Jacobs says
"There's the city, fix bayonets, we're going to clear this city out house by house." Josh commands
Now this battle weary company is starting to run towards the city. They reach the first row of houses. And bust in the doors.
"CLEAR OUT THOSE HOUSES! I want a defensive perimeter around that main intersection and that road." Josh roars
"Roger that Josh" Ulrich answers
"Hey Josh, you think we'll be able to sleep here for the night." Odd asks
"Maybe Odd, maybe." Josh answers"KRAUTS! THEY'RE ATTACKING!" Walker yells
"Fire, suppress those krauts!" Josh commands to his platoon
After a while, Easy Company has taken 3/4 of Kadicsburg. You see Ulrich, and the other 6 Easy men walking in a shape of an arrow. Then you see the wall bust in and a squad of 13 Germans comes out.
"HOLY SHIT!" Jimmy yells
"Amerikaner, Amerikaner! Lassen Sie Ihre Waffe fallen! Wir Shiessen. the Germans yell
"I'll shoot you, I'll shoot you! Drop your weapons! Surrender!" the men yell
5 of them shoot 5 Germans. Ulrich and the last one stand-alone while the others are hiding, they're still yell. You see Yumi come up and see these 2 soldiers fighting. She looks down and picks up a Mauser and shoots it at the German. The German falls wounded.
"Who shot, Jesus! Who shot?" Ulrich looks around and sees the young Asian lady who is holding the rifle. You see her drop it, and stand still.
"Thank you." Ulrich says
"You…your welc…welcome" Yumi answers. Then she looks up at the soldiers face and then his jacket and sees his name.
"It's you, it's you. Oh my god, its finally you. I've missed for so long." Yumi says
"Do I know you ma'am?" Ulrich asks
"You love me, or did you forget." Yumi says
"YUMI! I've missed you for so long now." Ulrich says
"Yumi!" Jeremie and Odd yell
"The one and only." Yumi answers
"Ulrich I've got good news" Yumi says
"What is it?" Ulrich asks
"I'm married to William." Yumi answers
Ulrich stays silent for a few seconds, and tries to say something but he can't. They finally reach Kadic High school.
"I want 4th platoon on the top floor, 3rd platoon on the 4th floor, 2nd platoon of the 3rd floor and my platoon on the 2nd floor." Ulrich commands
Ulrich goes to the floor, goes to a room and lays down speechless and stunned.
