Chapter 273: Battle of Brick Manor (1)

The long-range artillery of the Navy began shelling the German lines inland, providing fire cover for the Normandy landings and paratrooper regiments.

The whole sky was constantly roaring with artillery fire, and the group did not encounter any German soldiers after the farmhouse, presumably being drawn to the front line of defense to assist in the defense.

The group marched along a dirt road and finally saw the figures, a group of captured German soldiers, guarded by two soldiers.

"Good morning, sir, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I think the battalion headquarters will be even happier to see you there. One of the soldiers greeted Lieutenant Winters and said.

"There?" asked Lieutenant Winters.

"On the farm in front of you, sir. The soldier replied.

"Huh, where's Malachi?" asked Liwe, noticing that Malachi was not in the queue.

He was having a good time chatting with the German prisoners in the back. Joe Toy pointed to the back of the line.

"Let him get back to the team. Levy frowned, then said to Joe Toy.

"Yes, sir, hey, Marachi! Catch up, what's there to talk to the Germans!" shouted Joe Toi at Malachi.

"It's coming!!" After Ma Qi responded, he hurriedly ran forward to return to the team.

"Oh~~~E Lian!! finally saw you!" When Li Wei and the others came to the vicinity of a dirt slope on the farm, they found Ensign Compton, Corporal Lenny, Ricgotte, Lutz, and Pupai already sitting there to rest.

"I'm really glad to see you again!" Li Wei said with a smile and hugged each of the brothers of E-Company.

After such a night, everyone hopes to have their brothers and comrades around to fight together.

As soon as the men of the 8th Division arrived at the farm, they met their comrades from the same division and informed Lieutenant Winters that they would leave the team, and Lieutenant Winters naturally agreed. Hull, Corporal Bob, and Ryan are still operating with E-Company, as they haven't found their comrades yet.

"I'd like to introduce you to some new friends...... Corporal Bob, from Company E of the 1st Battalion. James Ryan, also from Company E of the 1st Battalion. This is Hull of Company A, alias Cowboy. Malaki introduced the newcomers to the team to Buck and the others.

"Hey, I'm Lutz...... This is the trophy I captured from the Germans, do you want to exchange it?" Lutz asked, holding a large number of German swastikas flags and cigarettes in his mouth.

"I have German watches here, do you want to exchange them?" Corporal Bob was not one of those young men, and he was already approaching the thirtieth mark, so he naturally understood that Lutz was using the exchange of loot to close the gap between them, and took out the watch that he had taken from the German corpse and asked.

"Oh~~~ Oh my God! You're so lucky! You've dug up such valuable loot for you!, like I only found these rotten military flags!" Lutz's eyes lit up when he saw the watch in Corporal Bob's hand, and he said with envy on the latter's face. Lutz wasn't acting, and he was indeed envious of Corporal Bob for finding such valuable loot.

"Hehehe...... Luckily. Corporal Bob said with a smile.

On the other hand, Lieutenant Winters, Second Lieutenant Lipton, and Second Lieutenant Compton were getting together for a meeting.

"How many of the E-Company have already assembled?" asked Winters.

"Not so optimistic...... replied Second Lieutenant Compton.

"Did any of you see Lieutenant Meehan?" asked Lieutenant Winters.

"No, the people on the same plane didn't see it...... Someone saw his plane hit......" Second Lieutenant Compton's words were not finished, but the meaning of the words was already self-evident.

"If this is true, it means that Dick you will be our new commander. Second Lieutenant Lipton said as he looked at Lieutenant Winters.

"Company E, has anyone seen anyone from Company E?" a call was heard in the distance, and at first glance, it was Major Stryll's herald.

"Here!E-company here!" shouted Second Lieutenant Compton waving his hand.

"Major Stryll wanted to see the commander of Company E, and it was in the farmhouse in front of him. The herald came to Lieutenant Winters and Second Lieutenant Compton and said.

"Dick, it seems to be your duty for now. Second Lieutenant Compton said.

"Whew...... All right. Lip, Buck, let the soldiers gather in a range first, always feeling that there would be some task for Company E. Lieutenant Winters took a deep breath and spoke to the two of them with his instincts.

"Yes, sir. Ensign Lipton and Ensign Compton replied.

At the same time as the three of them were meeting, Li Wei noticed that Malaki was watching a man walk in front of him with a look of horror. Li Wei recognized the man as the platoon commander of D Company, Lieutenant Spierre.

"Malachi, what's wrong?" asked Li Wei curiously.

"I just heard the sound of Thompson's submachine gun...... Rang out at the German prisoners, and then ...... I saw Lieutenant Spierre walking back from there. Malaki took out his kettle and took a nervous sip of water.

"So...... What do you mean?" asked Li Wei, confused.

Malachi didn't answer, just made a strafing motion, and then pointed in the direction of the gunshot, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Malachi, you just follow me...... First, you didn't see it with your own eyes, and second, even if you saw it with your own eyes, this is not something you need to meddle in, don't forget that Lieutenant Spier's military rank is several levels higher than that of you and me, and the affairs of Shangguan are not something we can discuss......" Li Wei lowered his voice and said with a serious face.

"Yes...... Yours yes, Lai. I'd better go talk to Pupai. Malaki swallowed his saliva and nodded in approval of Lai Wei's words.

"Wise decision...... "Li Wei patted Malaqi's shoulder and smiled.

"Assemble !! Company," Second Lieutenant Compton shouted to call all the soldiers and non-commissioned officers of Company E scattered near the farm.

"Barker, it looks like you have a heavy task for us. Levy approached Second Lieutenant Compton, patted him vigorously on the back, and said.

"Li, I don't have a task, but the battalion headquarters has a task for us. Dick had all of us gather for this mission. Second Lieutenant Compton felt no pain at all, and after stretching his back casually, he said to Leyway.

They entered a relatively large farmhouse, where Lieutenant Winters and Second Lieutenant Lipton were already waiting, and with a more solemn expression on their faces.

"Is everyone here?" asked Lieutenant Winters, after glancing, to Second Lieutenant Compton.

"Yes, sir! There are seventeen of them. Second Lieutenant Compton said.

"Okay! The battalion headquarters has given Company E a difficult task, and the next thing is up to you. Lieutenant Winters nodded and turned to the crowd.

Collect! Hit! Recommend!
