Chapter 300: Crossroads (Part II)

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" asked Lieutenant Lipton.

"It's very wrong, because the direction they fired was from the regimental command post......" Captain Winters was confused after Li Wei took a look.

The Germans would only reveal their location, because the regimental command post was three miles away. Captain Winters explained his doubts further.

"Maybe they're too stupid?" said Sergeant Talbot jokingly.

"Perhaps...... Or maybe it was a feint fire they used to lure the regimental command post. Li Wei added.

"I'll have to check on the situation anyway, you all stay here and wait for my signal. Talbot, follow me!" commanded Captain Winters.

"Yes, sir. After Rievey had answered, Captain Winters and Sergeant Talbot crossed the road from the center of the causeway and climbed into the other side of the causeway.

After a while, Sergeant Talbot reappeared in front of the crowd and brought instructions from Captain Winters.

"There is nothing unusual on the other side of the causeway! Captain tells you to take someone there immediately!"

After making a few gestures to represent the group's action, everyone split up and headed to the causeway on the other side of the road.

"This is where we retreated, the mortars were set up here, and the rest of us followed. Captain Winters pointed his palm to the branch of the causeway, instructing.

After hearing Captain Winters' instructions, Moore led the mortar squad and began to set up mortars in the designated places.

The group, led by Captain Winters, moved quickly through the causeway, keeping an eye on their steps to avoid making noise that would attract the attention of the Germans.

Captain Winters immediately made a stop-and-stand gesture after looking ahead, and Levy behind him immediately made the same gesture at the same time. Captain Winters then climbed to the side of the road alone, took cover to check the number and condition of the German troops, and then made a gesture that made everyone feel good.

"Lai, you're in charge of the machine gunner, you're in charge of the first one on the right, you're in charge of the second one on the right......" Captain Winters marked everyone's targets clearly, and when he gave the order, they sniped each other. At the same time, Sergeant Malachi also brought orders from Captain Winters to the mortar squad.

"Bump, bump, bump!" was signaled by Captain Winters' gunfire as the start of the attack, and the people assigned to the sniper mission either hit the target accurately or failed, but they did not stop firing their guns.

After breaking up the German machine-gun positions and causing them to lose most of their personnel, Captain Winters immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the designated position and stand by, while his own machine guns and mortars also opened fire to cover the retreat of the E Company.

"Sir, depending on the situation, we may encounter a company of troops, and we must seek reinforcements!" said Captain Winters in a loud voice.

"Except for the personnel in charge of the guard, go and have Lieutenant Wilson bring the rest of the men to support. Captain Winters agreed, and then asked Sergeant Talbot to return to the rear camp.

The German firepower was quite fierce, and even suppressed E Company for a while, but the situation only improved slightly after Christensen suppressed the opponent's machine gun position with fire and was unwilling to take down the opponent's machine gunners.

However, before that, Corporal Duckerman was hit by a stray bullet and was killed directly.

After about half an hour of fighting, the two sides gradually ceased fire, and the support units in the rear also joined up with Captain Winters, and the two sides remained deadlocked, and there was no further fire until the early hours of the morning.

"Something seems wrong...... Captain Winters said.

"Sir?" asked Captain Lipton, puzzled.

"The Germans are behind the causeway, and we are in the trenches, unless the German commander is an idiot, or the enemy can flank us and annihilate us along both sides of the causeway. Captain Winters said, looking at the map in his hand.

"So, what are your orders?" asked Sergeant Talbot.

"We have no choice but to strike first. Captain Winters put the map into his military uniform and gathered everyone to split the mission.

According to Captain Winters' instructions, Lieutenant Wilson would lead the first team to attack from the right, Le Wei would lead the second team to attack from the left, and he himself would lead the third team to attack directly from the center.

"Everyone, get on the bayonets! Wait for the red smoke signal to charge immediately, understand?" instructed Li Wei after returning to the standby of the second team.

Captain Winters looked left and right, and after receiving the signal that the left and right flanks were ready, he immediately threw a smoke grenade in front of him, and he himself immediately ran forward quickly.

"Huh, why isn't there red smoke coming out?" Poeller muttered in confusion as he looked at the ground where the smoke grenade fell.

"Li, what should I do?" asked Sergeant Goneri in a low voice beside Liwei.

"No matter how much it is, just rush up!" Seeing that the distance between Captain Winters and the three teams was getting farther and farther away, Li Wei decided to disobey the order for the second time, and immediately jumped out of the trench and ran forward.

"Go!" Just as Lieutenant Wilson was hesitating to follow, God had already made a decision for him, and red smoke came out!

"Bump!" Leeway and the second team were within twenty meters of Captain Winters, but before they could catch up, Captain Winters had already fired.

"Bang!" Dawn rushed up the earthen embankment, and found that the Germans were resting, and Captain Winters's magazine was also finished at this time.

"Second team, fire at will!" With a shout from Leywe, he himself opened fire first, and one German soldier collapsed to the ground.

The men in the rear rushed to the earthen embankment one after another, and after looking for cover, they began to engage the Germans in a firefight, but because they were caught off guard, in fact, E Company did not encounter too fierce fire from the Germans, only sporadic counterattacks, but because they gathered together to rest, it was easier for E Company to take them.

However, Company E did not take the Germans easily, during which they were returned fire by German 88mm artillery fire, and Poehler and Webster were hit by shrapnel that burst open, and the latter was lucky to be scratched in the foot than the former in the abdomen. Corporal Rigott was scratched by a stray bullet on the epidermis of his neck, but he still had a neck of blood, which looked quite scary.

In the end, Company E annihilated the Germans in a smooth way, regardless of the number of people who escaped or were captured, Company E annihilated two companies at the cost of being wounded and one killed, and it was still an SS soldier belonging to elite soldiers. When the report was delivered to the battalion command post, Colonel Zinke was taken by surprise and immediately made an important decision.
