A war torn story

Chap. 12: the meeting

Aug. 29th, 1944

It's been a month and 7 days since Easy Company was pulled into the 505th PIR. A lot has happened since then, Yumi has become a Pvt.; she is a sniper. Josh has been ranked up to Cpt., Ulrich has been ranked up to 1st Lt., Odd and Jeremie have been ranked up to CSM (Command Sgt. Major). And Jacobs is back. General Winters is about to call a meeting for Company leaders.

"Alright men, seeing how the 3rd Army, 12th Army, and the Brits haven't made it through the teeth of the Siegfried Line, Eisenhower under the influence of both Washington and London has approved of Monty's Operation Market-Garden. It's an extremely risky one, but if we win this battle the war will be over by Christmas. The Operation includes the 101st Airborne, 82nd Airborne, and the British 1st Airborne. The 1st will land near Arnhem to take the bridge at the Rhine River, the 82nd will drop near the Waal to take Nimegen Bridge, the 101st, and we will drop in two places around the XXX Corps. Near Eindhoven and Son to take those Bridges. I must warn you men… this is a daylight drop, not like D-Day." General Winters explains

Now the men are leaving the meeting room. And you hear Josh say to the other 6 guys.

"Great, Holland, Just FUCKING GREAT!" Josh yells

"It can't be that bad can it." Ulrich says

"Ulrich, did you even hear what happened with the Airborne soldiers on D-Day, it was a night drop, but over 85 casualties, and this operation is a day drop." Jimmy explains, "Think of what can happen."

"Oh shit, God I hope we get in there safely." Odd explains

"Hey Lt. Josh when are we going to start practicing again." Jeremie asks

"That bar means Captain Jeremie or did you forget about those battlefield promotions on our last mission, I outta push back to MSG." Josh says

"Sorry, I'm still new strip myself, so when are we going to start practicing again?" Jeremie asks

"As soon as we get back to Mourmelon." Josh answers

"Alright."

After awhile the reach Mourmelon, next Ulrich sees Yumi trying to get away from William.

"Get away from me!" Yumi yells

Next you see Ulrich come up punch William in the stomach.

"Leave Yumi alone she's my wife." Ulrich says angrily

You see William walk away.
