Chapter 283: Carrington Defense Battle (1)
In the town square, after clearing an area, E Company relaxes and relaxes mentally and physically by lying or sitting.
"It would have been nice to have a hot bath and cooked food...... Oh my God! German cheese smells like!" Mook opened the captured German food, intending to try it, but found that it made people vomit, and yelled.
"That's what the Germans smelled like...... Wipe it, the bread stinks!" Maggas scolded halfway through his taunt, tasting the bitter fruit himself.
"You need to eat cheese with bread to get rid of that weird smell. Li Wei walked over and said with a smile.
"Give me that bread!" Mook snatched the bread from Maggas's hand, intending to try again as Rievey had suggested.
"Ry, I think we can storm Berlin before Christmas, what do you think?" said Malaki with great interest, and his words were not his thoughts, but the thoughts of the group of allied generals, and a slogan.
"Yes, sir, judging by the fact that we have captured this town today, the Germans are running out of energy. Moore was also optimistic.
"I don't think so......" Li Wei gave the crowd a cold water.
"Why?" the crowd asked curiously.
"We were now able to win the victory along the way, mainly because the Germans were frightened by the famous General Patton and moved a large number of the main forces away from the western front. But once the Germans came to their senses, I believe that Hitler would have brought back the main forces to guard the resistance, after all, this was a route to Germany. Li Wei, who knew history well, knew that this dream of the coalition army would be shattered soon, so he cooled down E Company in advance, so as not to cause demoralization due to the sudden defeat.
"No......" After listening to Li Wei's opinion, everyone was surprised and disbelieving, and the work of the Propaganda Department of the Allied Forces was very successful. The entire battlefield was now filled with optimism about the motivating slogan 'Attack Berlin before Christmas', and even the Allied High Command drew up a series of offensive plans based on this slogan.
"Just let me do whatever I want...... I don't want to be caught by Colonel Zinck and shot in the middle of the square. Li Wei shook his head with a smile, he knew that he couldn't change this optimistic mood at the moment, after all, he was only a second lieutenant and the platoon commander of the second platoon of Company E, and at most he could only affect the second platoon he managed.
"Enjoy it now...... We'll be ready to go again. At this moment, a voice came from behind Li Wei. Everyone looked there, and it turned out to be Lieutenant Spierre.
"Leaving so soon?" Moore asked, surprised.
"That's right. Lieutenant Spierre replied, and then left.
"Lai, Sharp's isn't true, is it?" asked Malach with a hint of expectation, but was destined to end in disappointment.
"It's true, Lieutenant Winters has just received an order from the battalion headquarters to put us in charge of the eastern defensive line. Li Wei said.
"Don't they know we're just getting in?" Moore complained loudly at the order.
When Lieutenant Spierre heard this, he turned to look at Moore, and without saying a word, continued his steps.
"Alright, brothers, don't complain. This is our duty, and let's not forget what we joined the army for. Don't expect the battalion headquarters or regimental headquarters to give us a comfortable fight, if we want a good life, we have to fight for it ourselves. Li Wei persuaded the group of soldiers who were already full of resentment.
"Assemble Company! We're leaving! Platoon, bring your weapons. Formed a tactical column!" Lieutenant Wilson was heard shouting.
"The second platoon of E Company, form a tactical column, ready to go!" With a shout from Li Wei, the second platoon immediately stood up consciously and consciously lined up in columns.
Company E embarked on the journey again, and they made their way along the thickets to the eastern heights, while Companies D and F were also on their flanks.
From time to time, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and I only knew that it came from that battlefield, and I didn't know whether it was the American army or the German army that was bombed.
"Lutz, how far do we have to go?" asked Paikanti, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
"I don't know, and don't ask me any more. This is your twenty-second question. Lutz replied angrily.
"Keep going, someone will tell us to stop when we get there anyway. "Marachy in the back.
"Our destination was the high ground ahead, and the battalion headquarters order was for us to establish defensive positions there. Li Wei added.
"Lai, why is Company E always sent to the front to play as a striker, or to be exposed to the front line of the battlefield as it is now? We have never been in the middle, but we are the fifth company out of nine, from Company A to Company I!" Paikanti continued to complain, and became more and more vigorous.
"Who didn't we walk in the middle? Didn't your first and third rows play in the middle during the Carrington battle before? Li Wei said jokingly. Immediately provoked laughter from the second row.
"And there's one more thing you're wrong, Paikanti...... That is, when Carrington attacked before, F Company was still ahead of us. However, after F Company and D Company continued to cut off contact with us, the commanders at the regimental headquarters realized that Company E's sense of direction was the best in the 2nd Battalion. Li Wei continued.
"Hahaha! Lai, that's right!" Corporal Goneri laughed, and the GIs of Company E agreed and laughed when they heard this. In fact, for these tired GIs, a joke will give them a little rest in their spirits.
"Shh......h Everyone, squat down and be on guard!" Finish, Li Wei took the lead in squatting down, and the others immediately followed after seeing Li Wei's actions.
"Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly!" As soon as Leeway's words fell, the German 4 machine guns began to fire indiscriminately at this place.
"Enemy fire!" everyone get down!" Li Wei shouted.
"The right flank is under attack!" everyone hid in the bushes!" shouted Lieutenant Wilson, lying on the ground, turning his head to the crowd behind him.
"Crawl forward! All men march in formation! Advance cautiously!" shouted Second Lieutenant Compton.
"Second platoon, two bells to the right, fire support!" Levy shouted to the second platoon behind him, and after making a few simple gestures, he immediately looked for cover and opened fire on the German fire.
"Second platoon, hear it! Two bells, fire!" Sergeant Lenny instructed the second platoon to disperse, and then fired at the German line as instructed.
The German attack was tentative and soon retreated to its own lines. Three companies also took advantage of this opportunity to begin building fortifications, digging skirmish trenches behind the bushes and confronting the German front two hundred meters ahead.
