Chapter 284: Carrington Defensive Battle (2)

"So...... Your construction is for us to dig the [William Trench] to build this line?" asked Lieutenant Winters. While E Company was covering the trenches of D and F Companies, Levy proposed such a construction to Lieutenant Winters. The Wilhelm Trench is a new type of trench that was submitted by Le Wei and named after William Le (Le Wey) by the Army.

"Yes, sir, we don't have enough personnel on the company now, and when I designed this kind of trench, I took into account the personnel arrangement, and only two people need to be stationed in the trench, and the angle can be taken into account within 180 degrees. "Lai Wei Dao.

"Hmm...... Your construction is good. Buck, let the men in our company dig the trenches designed by Li according to the manual, and as for the other companies...... I'll make a move to Major Streel. Lieutenant Winters thought about it for a moment, then instructed Second Lieutenant Compton.

"I'll leave this to Dick, and Buck and I will first explain to the brothers to change the digging of the trenches. Lieutenant Winters gave a military salute and returned to the area where the second platoon was stationed.

"Then again, Li, this is the trench I saw you design last time, right?" asked Goneri, crouching down with the manual.

"Hmm......" Li Wei just replied, and then hurried to dig his trench.

The Germans were constantly harassing the 2nd Battalion, which was building fortifications, with 4 machine guns, and the slightest movement would be harassed by German fire.

By the time Company had completed its fortifications, it was completely dark and it was drizzling. This is a good thing for both sides, at least they can hide in the line of defense without worrying about the other party's attack. The rain turns the grass between the two sides into a muddy field, and if you want to sneak attack, you will get stuck in the mud and be entertained by the opponent's machine guns.

"Vomit...... It's Spam again. In the trenches, Mook looked very resistant, but helplessly opened a can. It's only been about a week since Company E officially entered the battle, but now everyone is changing color when they hear Spam. Spam was the main meat ration of the U.S. Army during World War II and is a canned luncheon meat.

If it was once a day, the GIs might be full of praise for this Spam luncheon meat, but the three meals a day were Spam luncheon meat, and the GIs were tired of it.

"Hehehe...... Let's take a look. At least we still have meat to eat, you must know that in the Soviet Union, only officers above the rank of lieutenant are eligible to eat meat, and the rest of the soldiers can only eat dry bread. Li Wei dug out the luncheon meat in the can, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while before swallowing it.

"I'm just complaining......" Muck laughed twice, scooped out the lunch meat from the can, put it in his mouth, and swallowed the water from the kettle.

"Really, what the hell are they singing?" asked Mook in annoyance as he heard the sound of the other party's song from the German line not far away.

"It's all songs of nostalgia for my hometown...... Regardless of the faction we belong to, the group on the other side is just like us, just pawns on the battlefield. "Lai Wei Dao.

"Really......" Mook suddenly fell silent, and Li Wei knew that his words had made him homesick.

"Learned...... Know...... Demand...... Suo ...... "At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the bushes.

"Lightning!" Levy and Mook immediately took up their weapons and shouted orders.

"Thunder!" Lieutenant Wilson then appeared next to their trench.

"Harry, you surprised me like this again, I was nervous that day, and sent you straight back to England. Li Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Lai, if you do this, I will be truly and very grateful to you. Lieutenant Wilson said with a grin.

"Any news?" asked Li Wei.

"It was still the same as in the afternoon, they hid in their trenches, and we hid in ours. Lieutenant Wilson said.

"That is, tonight can give the brothers a short break?" Li Wei analyzed a very good news for E Lian from the other party's words. The soldiers of Company E were exhausted by the continuous fierce fighting, and a short light nap would at least restore their spirit and morale.

"That's what Dick is...... He asked me to inform my brothers to take turns to rest in the rear. Lieutenant Wilson said.

"Got it. Mook, you go to the rear and rest. I'll be back in half an hour to take my place. Levy commanded to Mook.

"Yes, sir. Thanks, Lai. Hearing Li Wei's command, Muk first answered formally, and then thanked him privately.

"I left, and got the other trenches to inform the others. After Lieutenant Wilson said goodbye to Leyway, he moved on to the next trench.

Half an hour later, Mook returned as scheduled, perhaps to thank Li Wei for letting him go to rest first, and he brought Li Wei a raincoat.

"Thanks, Mook. After putting on his raincoat, Li Wei thanked Mook and stepped back. With a black raincoat as cover, Levy could walk slightly boldly through the battle line without being detected by the Germans, unless the other side fired flares was another matter.

On his way back to the rear, he met Lieutenant Winters, who was limping towards the rear.

"Lieutenant, do you need a crutch?" Li Wei hurriedly stepped forward and teased.

"No, second lieutenant. I have my M1 rifle to use as a crutch. Lieutenant Winters said with a smile.

"Yes, Dick, I've learned to joke. ”

"It's all because of your careful teaching. Lieutenant Winters said.

"Any news?" asked Li Wei.

"Intelligence: The Germans had only one company left to defend the town of Carrington. Lieutenant Winters said.

"I'm not surprised at all, because when we attacked, there was very little resistance from the left and right flanks, apart from the strong resistance in the middle. Li Wei nodded and expressed his opinion.

Intelligence also pointed out that German forces had begun to assemble in the southern part of the town, preparing to retake the town. Lieutenant Winters continued to share his intelligence.

"That is, we are already in the way of their return fire, which means that we will be under heavy attack. Lieutenant Winters' intelligence was heard, and in an affirmative tone, he analyzed the situation that Company E might face.

"So the battalion headquarters decided...... If they don't attack tonight, we'll launch a dawn attack at 050. Lieutenant Winters said.

"Alas~~ It is foreseeable that this is a vicious battle...... Let's just hope that Company D and Company F don't pull us back. Li Wei sighed and said.

"Tell your brothers to put on their bayonets. Lieutenant Winters patted Leeway on the shoulder.
