Chapter 274: Battle of Brick Manor (2)

"Major Striele has asked us to capture Brick Manor, which is not far away...... As you hear now, there are 88mm guns firing at the Army on the Utah beachhead...... Intelligence has determined that two artillery pieces are firing at the Utah beachhead in this direction, and it is speculated that there should be two in the other direction...... The Germans hid in trenches with access to all the batteries, and directly behind the trenches were covered by machine-gun emplacements. Lieutenant Winters sketched out all known and speculated information on a blank piece of paper.

"We took the machine-gun positions as fire support, and then the two teams took the connected batteries in order under the cover of fire. "Lieutenant Winters came up with his own operational arrangements.

"How many Germans do we need to deal with?" asked Levy.

"......I don't know," Lieutenant Winters said after a moment's hesitation, which is why this task would be marked with a difficult rank. Company E, which is assigned to take this artillery area, may only have to face a platoon or squadron of enemies, and the unknown number of enemies is their greatest danger.

"In order to completely destroy those 88mm guns, we need to carry. Lipp and Lutz, you're in charge of this. Lieutenant Winters turned to Second Lieutenant Lipton.

"Yes, sir. Second Lieutenant Lipton and Lutz replied together.

"Rigotte, you, Pyti, Gordon, and Christensen will be in charge of the first machine gun, and Lenny, you, Priscia, Handers, and Gus will be in charge of the second machine gun. After taking the machine-gun position, Lenny's team will detour to the other side to attack the battery and support the assault team, and Rigaut's team will set up a fire support ...... in the machine-gun position."

"As for the rest, I and Compton will lead them separately. Compton, you bring the Le, Ppupai, and Evans as Special Forces to draw the attention of the firepower and the Germans, and the assault team responsible for taking the battery will consist of me, Gunnerey, Joe Toy, and Malachi, understand?" asked Lieutenant Winters.

"Yes, sir!" replied the group.

"Very well, let's start packing our bags and getting ready for action. Second Lieutenant Lipton began.

"Gather all your supplies together! Bring only ammunition and as much ammunition as you can!" shouted Second Lieutenant Lipton.

"Sir, I don't think it's appropriate to have Second Lieutenant Lipton and Lutz in charge of carrying it together. Either we take one person with us, so that whoever occupies the battery can destroy the artillery as soon as possible. Le Wei said to Lieutenant Winters.

"Yours also makes sense...... Rip, you'll join Buck later, and Lutz, you'll follow my team. "Lieutenant Winters approved of Leyway's Jiany, and assigned Second Lieutenant Lipton and Lutz to the two teams.

"Sir, do you still need men?" asked a GI as they were about to set off, as a GI ran to Lieutenant Winters' side.

"Aren't you Colonel Zink's chauffeur?" Joe Toy recognized, and went from road to road.

"Sir, I'd like to join you, am I?" asked the GI.

"Okay! your name, soldier. Lieutenant Winters thought for a moment, and in line with the principle that one more person means one more pair, he agreed to the other man's request and asked for the other's name.

"Luo Lian, sir!" Luo Lian hurriedly replied.

"Okay, Luo Lian, you join my team! Marachi will explain the whole battle plan to you on the way. Lieutenant Winters patted Luo Lian on the shoulder, and then handed him over to Malach to be in charge of the battle plan.

The distance between Brick Manor and the farm was not far, so the nineteen men of Company E marched quickly under the cover of grass and bushes, and soon reached the vicinity of the fort position. Due to the cover of shrub fences, coupled with the loopholes in the design of the entire position, the irregular design and many sharp turns provided natural cover for the people of E Company.

At the gesture of Lieutenant Winters, the entire company was divided into four teams and proceeded to capture the target according to the plan.

"The situation is in our favor...... The German defenses were rather lax, and if we could see the right moment, we might not need Dick to take this battery position. Second Lieutenant Compton hid in the fence and watched for a while, then whispered to Dawn.

"Barker, although your words are not wrong, we still follow the original plan, attract German firepower, and then let Rigault and them set up fire support, and then rush to attack the battery position. In this way, at least the lives of the brothers can be guaranteed. Li Weijian said.

"Hmm...... Yours is right. So let's go ahead with the original plan. "Second Lieutenant Compton agrees with Rievey's law.

Ensigns Compton and Evans both use Thompson submachine guns, so they will be the first to fire, while Levy and Pupai use M1 rifles, which have a metal circle on the front edge of the rifle, allowing the M1 to be used as a sniper rifle.

"Buck, the shrub fence here is too obstructive to the view. Li Wei pointed to the thorny fence in front of him.

"There!" said Second Lieutenant Lipton, after a quick glance, pointing to a large tree.

Li Wei came to his senses, didn't say much, and climbed up directly! With the help of superhuman strength and proficient skills, Li Wei won the first place in the fighting and shooting projects in countless company competitions in the past two years, and became the king of soldiers in the second battalion. In the position of sniper, Li Wei is the best one!

"Lip, inform Winters to start the action with my first shot. Le Wei Tong Guò gestured to Second Lieutenant Lipton, who gave Le Wei a gesture of understanding. Second Lieutenant Compton was the forward commander of the Einsatzgruppen and was responsible for leading the Pupai and Evans feints.

Agittally, he climbed the tree and sat on its front branch, the weight of his body being dispersed among the other branches under the action of mechanics. Borrowing relatively dense foliage and thick branches for cover, Rievey believed that the Germans would have a hard time hitting him even if they found themselves.

"It's you......" Li Wei looked at the machine gun position, there were about twenty people and divided into two positions, one of which was on guard and the other was resting and eating, believing that the two positions were rotated to guard and protect the battery. In the end, for the sake of reducing enemy firepower, Levy chose one of the German machine gunners.

"Bump!" As Levy shot the German machine gunner in the head, a stream of blood poured out of his steel helmet, and his head, which had been focused on looking ahead, drooped down. The Germans were stunned for a moment because of such a sudden gunshot, and then began to panic, but they did not forget to shoot back.

At the same time, Second Lieutenant Compton began to fire on the machine-gun positions, while Richott and Colonel Lenny began to attack the two machine-gun positions respectively.
