A war torn story

Chap 14: into the wind

Sept. 17, 1944

It goes to a C-47 troop transport plane. Inside are the 11 main characters and 6 other men including Welts, Jacobs, and "Thrifty" Hartsock. You hear airplane engines from the inside.

"HEY JOSH! ARE WE LANDING SOFTLY?" Aelita asks

"NO! ACTUALLY WE'RE LANDING IN THE HARDEST HELD PART OF THIS OPERATION!" Josh answers

You see a Sgt. McKenzie look at red light, which suddenly comes on.

"GET READY! STAND UP! HOOK UP! EQUIPMENT CHECK! SOUND OFF FOR EQUIPMENT CHECK!" McKenzie yells

You hear everyone say from 16 okay to 1 okay.

"ARE WE HAPPY!" McKenzie yells

You see no one answer, and then you hear Josh answer confidently.

"HELL YEAH!"

Next you hear anti-aircraft guns, which are 88's and quad guns go off.

"LET''S GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!" Thrifty yells

"WE WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT".

"SARGE WE WAIT ANY LONGER, THERE WON'T BE A FUCKIN' GREEN LIGHT!" Yumi yells

"PIPER STAND IN THE DOOR!" McKenzie yells

Next thing Josh is blown out of the plane and one engine is on fire.

"SHIT! OUT! OUT! EVERYONE OUT! INTO THE WIND! INTO THE WIND!" McKenzie yell while everyone gets out of the one door of the plane.

Everyone lands in the same landing zone except Josh. Josh landed where Dog Company landed. You see them run next to a farmhouse with a sub-machine gun sticking out of the window.

"THUNDER!" A Lt. Col. Calls

"Flash, come on in." Josh answers

"Who are you? I'm Lt. Col. Robinson." Robinson asks

"Capt. Piper, I lead Easy Company of the 505" Josh answers

"Hmm, well your lucky. You landed in Dog Companies DZ (Drop Zone)." Robinson says

"Aw thank heavens. Well I better be on my way." Josh says

"Wait, let me bring a squad with you." Robinson offers

"Sure, wait actually we could have both our companies combine. You see I told my men as soon as I dropped and landed, I would throw a smoke grenade to tell them where I am." Josh says

"That's a better idea." Robinson accepts

Next Josh sets off a smoke grenade in the field of the farm (the allies smoke grenades were red), it send the red smoke high into the sky.

"Look! There's Josh!" Ulrich yells

You see Easy Company run up to where the smoke is and run into Dog Company. Josh and Dog Company are having eggs and ham for lunch from the animals in the barn.

"Josh!" Walker yells in excitement

"Huh? Oh hey guys, glad you came, you would've missed lunch." Josh greets.

"We thought we lost you Capt." Ulrich says

"Mm eggs and ham. I'm hungry now" Odd comments

"Odd, your always hungry." Jeremie says

"So" Odd comments back

"Now boys, let's just ask the owner if we can have a few of their pigs and chickens." Sam suggest

"I wouldn't advice that Sam, even though the owners are happy to see us. They are kind of sad they lost some of their chickens and pigs. And besides you got your own rations." Josh explains

"So Josh, how'd it feel to be blown out of the plane?" Jimmy asks

"Actually I was knocked out of the plane. You see a German quad-gun shot a piece of the floor below me off of the plane. And that explosion knocked me toward that hole. And I fell." Josh explains

"Let's all be glad he came out of the drop alive." Yumi says

"Yeah, here's to what Yumi said." Remy says

next all of the soldiers take a drink out of there canteens.
