"I'll lead the team......" Although Li Wei didn't understand the details of the mission, he still understood the meaning of the word 'protection'.

"It's up to you, Lai. Who else would like to serve as a scout?" Lieutenant Wilson continued.

"I'm on. Sergeant Martin crouched and walked out of his footsteps.

"All right, Martin, Bloy, you'll be at Lai's behest later. Lieutenant Wilson said.

"Yes, sir!" replied Sergeant Martin and Bloy.

"Hello will walk in front later, heart one. I reckon that the terrain is most suitable for sniper ambushes. So take cover. There's a chance you'll be targeted, so duck as soon as you hear a gunshot. Li Wei had already seen from his perception that the German sniper was by the window, and the muzzle of the gun was facing E Company, but because the crowd had not yet been exposed, the other side did not shoot.

"Yes, sir. After listening to Leyway's words, Bloy was not afraid, but replied firmly. Ever since he was enlightened by Captain Winters, Lieutenant Spierre, and Levy during the Battle of Carrington, Bloy's cousin was no longer afraid of going into battle.

"Martin, wait for the gunshots to go out, and you immediately cover the fire for Bloy. Levy instructed Sergeant Martin again.

"Yes, sir. Sergeant Martin replied. Li Wei has become the magic stick of the unpredictable prophet in E Company, of course, this is a joke made by Sergeant Goneri, the main reason is that Li Wei's intuition is very accurate from the beginning of the Takoya military camp, and many times E Company will subconsciously trust Li Wei's command.

"Harry, if you hear gunfire later, give us cover immediately. Levy turned to Lieutenant Wilson.

"No problem. Lieutenant Wilson gave Levy a gesture that was okay.

"Alright, action!" Levy gave Bloy a forward gesture, and the cat slumped in the direction of the farmhouse. Levy and Sergeant Martin followed Bloy, and the three moved in a zigzag.

Bloy nervously held his M1 rifle, staring at the window of the farmhouse without blinking, sweating from the corners of his forehead where he was not looking.

"Bloi, stop! Don't turn around! Make a look around!" Levy whispered to Bloi.

Bloy didn't respond, but he had already stopped his steps and made a move as Levy had instructed.

"Bump!" Levy took advantage of the German sniper's attention attracted by Bloy, and immediately raised his rifle and shot at the window!

"Poof!" The Germans in the house found that their sniper had been hit in the eyebrows, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground.

"Fire, fire!" As the Germans opened fire and revealed their positions, the original plan to ambush the Americans failed.

"Wipe ......! Fire cover, fire cover!" Lieutenant Wilson shouted when he heard the gunshot, immediately dropping the cigarette in his hand.

"Bloy, Martin, quickly retreat to the rear!" shouted Levy to the two men who had managed to dodge and find cover.

Ten minutes later, Company E managed to take the farmhouse, and all the German troops in the house were annihilated, and no survivors survived.

"Lai, what kind of eyes are you, can you hit this sniper's eyebrows so far?" Lieutenant Wilson asked with a look of disbelief as he kicked the German corpse next to his feet.

"It's his misfortune, it's his own suffering...... If he hadn't found the metallic reflection of this gun for me when he moved the muzzle to aim, I wouldn't have discovered his location. Li Wei kicked a gun under his feet, with an unreflective ring on it. No one understands why this German sniper behaved so recklessly, only this dead sniper will understand.

"Damn...... There is no Ruger!" at this time, Sergeant Hubler cursed in a low voice after searching for the last German corpse. This Luger enthusiast has already said in E Company that if anyone can capture a Luger gun, he is willing to exchange all the loot plus a month's salary for the Luger gun.

"Hubler, the defenders here are just a platoon, and the highest rank is only a non-commissioned officer, and the chances of getting to Luger are very low. Levy said to Huborough.

"I know, Lieutenant. Just wanted to try my luck. "Sergeant Hubl is still reluctant.

"Captain, what brought you here?" said Captain Winters, who had come with Captain Nickerson, quipped.

"The battalion headquarters has given the order to withdraw from the front, and Company E will return to the Utah beachhead today to rest and recuperate, and then we will return to England. Captain Winters' words silenced the entire house.

"Dick, are you sure? It's not Company D? It's not Company F? It's us, Company E!" asked Lieutenant Wilson excitedly.

"Yes, Harry. I'm not wrong, and you heard it right. We're out of the line!" Captain Winters said with a smile.

"Hulau !!" was confirmed by Captain Winters, and they cheered loudly despite the noise control! They waited for this day to come, and waited for many days.

Looking at the e-company cheering in unison, Li Wei did not follow them to get excited. As an 'old man' who is familiar with history, Li Wei knows that World War II will not end so quickly, at least it will have to wait for a year before it officially ends.

……

Riding in the jeeps or troop carriers that had come to carry Company E, the GIs were excitedly discussing what to do back in England.

"When I get back to England, the first thing I do is send my umbrella back to Katie! It's made of silk, and if you make it into a wedding dress, it's going to be beautiful, it's slippery, and it's very memorable. Lieutenant Wilson patted his backpack and said.

After returning to the field camp on the Utah beachhead, Company E enjoyed a cooked meal, a comfortable hot bath, and a safe sleep that would not be awakened by artillery fire, and after a day's rest, Company E and the other divisions set off for England on ships carrying supplies.

After arriving in Southampton, England, E Company was assigned to a village called Canute, where it was well off due to a series of successes in the Normandy landings, and even many lonely widows approached these GIs who had not tasted meat for a long time.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, and there are no reports that disturb the people, so the non-commissioned officers and lieutenants did not make any action with one eye closed.

After returning to the UK, Company E was replenished with new recruits, and a total of thirty rookies joined Company E, although it only filled half of the personnel gap, at least there would be no more non-commissioned officers than soldiers in the third platoon. Takoya veterans became non-commissioned officers or privates and were appointed squad leaders in each platoon.

After a week's rest, many of the brothers of the E Company who had been wounded before or during the Normandy landing returned to the company to report for duty.

"Hello, soldier. "Sergeant Marach arrives in a village house where a mother and daughter live, and the only man in the family is on a journey to liberate Europe. The hostess of the village house, that is, Ms. Lamb and her daughter, in order to maintain the family, took over the job of washing clothes and pants for the American soldiers, because Ms. Lamb is quite beautiful (although she is already a in the eyes of Li Wei, but Sister Lamb's daughter is really beautiful), and the business is quite good.

"Hello, ma'am...... Actually, I should be a sergeant, I just got promoted. "Sergeant Marat's gentlemanly demeanor and polite demeanor made Levy look like he was looking at an alien.

"It's good to hear that......" Ms. Lamb said perfunctorily.

"I'm guessing you're going to come and get your clothes, after all, I couldn't sleep last night from the roar of the troop carriers. Ms. Lamb said.

"Yes, ma'am. We'll be leaving soon, and we probably won't be back. Sergeant Mara said.

"I'm sorry to hear these ......" Ms. Lamb heard the news, and the regret on her face was quite real, and it is estimated that she will lose a lot of income in the future.

"It's two shillings and two pennies...... "Miss Lamb said to the latter, as she found out the clothes and trousers that Sergeant Marata had placed here to wash.

Sergeant Malachi was completely unfamiliar with British currency, so he handed all the coins he had to Ms. Lamb and asked her to collect them herself.

"Thank you!" said Ms. Lamb, instead of taking more, but honestly collecting two shillings and two pence.

"By the way, soldier......" Ms. Lamb obviously did not remember the rank of Sergeant Marachit, but her call stopped Levy and Sergeant Marachit.

"Do you know Lieutenant Meehan, I hope he hasn't forgotten his clothes......" Ms. Lamb's question and muttering caused their bodies to stiffen suddenly.

"I'll take it for him. In addition, please pronounce the name of other people, if it is someone we know, we will also extract it. It was Li Wei who came over first, and said with a stiff and unnatural smile on his face.

"Thank you so much...... Let me see...... Sergeant Evans, Private Moya, Private Blauzer, Corporal Miller, Private Owen, Private 1st Tipo, Private Donnatt, Private 1st Valente, Private Smitty, Private 1st Gordon, Private Sisko, Private 1st Brown, Private 1st Boyle, Private Guss, Private Prichia, Private 1st Henders, Private Gray, Corporal Collins......" With each name Ms. Lamb pronounced, the faces of Levy and Sergeant Marachite darkened a little, and the latter's eyes began to redden.

"The one you read...... I've fetched them all......" said Levy choked up, and he had spent six pounds and ten shillings and three pence for his fallen or retired brothers.

By the time they were withdrawn from the front, Company E had lost a total of sixty-five men, including their company commander, Lieutenant Meehan.
