Chapter 178: Captain Miller
The map shows a large city to the south, which Rotte analyzes as Caen in France. Caen is located in the north of France, just a few dozen kilometers from the English Channel and only two hundred kilometers from Paris, and it is the capital of the Normandy district. It was essential for the Allies to continue their advance to Paris.
There are dozens of other small towns around Caen, and Rotai can't make out their names one by one. The final battle in the film is not in the city of Caen, but on the road leading to it. The map also shows several German strongholds. Luo Tai took out a map of the paratroopers from himself, and by comparing the two maps, he estimated his approximate location. It's about thirty kilometers from Caen. If the guess is correct, Captain Miller and his party will appear around sooner or later....
The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Luo Tai wiped his face, put away the map, and ran south. The map shows a small town not far to the south. Since Rotai also needed to be constantly alert to his surroundings, he didn't travel very fast.
When it was ten o'clock at noon, Luo Tai was a little hungry, he found a big tree, unloaded his backpack, took out two buckets of canned food from it, cut it with a knife, and then used a knife to dig out the food little by little, and ate slowly. Halfway through the second bucket, Rotai suddenly heard a fierce gunfire coming from near the town.
He hurriedly put on his backpack, kicked open the can, and then thought about running towards the gunfire in the posture of a special forces march. As the distance approached, Rotai first prostrated on the ground, and he quickly saw the two sides of the war. It turned out that in this corner of the town, a fierce battle was going on between the Allies and the Germans.
The two sides occupy each end of a small street. Luo Tai saw several Allied figures shaking under a two-story building not far away, so he hunched over and quickly ran over.
He ducked behind a ruined wall. Then he raised his carbine and began to shoot at the Germans.
"Uh-huh~" "Sudden Burst ~~~"
There were casualties on both sides. The range and power of the carbine are still limited, and at some times they are not as good as semi-automatic rifles. Rotai fought for a while, and a man wearing the rank of second lieutenant came to his side.
"Corporal, which unit are you from? How have I ever seen you. The second lieutenant said.
Rotai lowered his head. Looking at the emaciated second lieutenant with sparse stubble, he said: "I am from Company F of the 105th Airborne Division, several of my comrades-in-arms died when they were airborne, and I touched it all the way from the woods 10 kilometers away. "The name tag that Luo Tai found had the number of the unit on it, so Luo Tai said it accurately.
"Oh, that's unfortunate." The second lieutenant shook his head and said, "My name is Radem, a second lieutenant in Company A of Division D of Army Group Army. β
"Hello. Sir, what's going on? Rotai asked.
"Woo Woo Woo~~" A few bullets hit the wall as he spoke, and the two hurriedly got down.
"We were going to reinforce the M Division attacking Caen, and we met this German army, damn it, it was an encounter." Second Lieutenant Radham said.
Rotai nodded. He had already observed the position of the German troops, as well as the layout of the surrounding buildings. He opened his mouth and said to Second Lieutenant Radham, "Sir, I have a JianyΓ¬. β
Radham said, "Please." β
"You see, the enemy's left flank defense is weaker, they have two heavy machine guns, one in the middle and one on the right. A staggered firepower is formed. We concentrated most of our firepower, suppressing the center and the right flank. Then a few people were divided, through the cover of the two tall buildings, touched the vicinity of the left flank, and then within ten seconds, threw out twenty grenades, forming a concentrated explosion, which would definitely be able to eliminate the enemy. β
Second Lieutenant Radham looked at it, then crouched down and said, "Your idea is good, but it's hard to execute. β
"Why?"
"One is that I don't have enough people. There were only fifteen people left here, and it was difficult to suppress the opposing machine guns; Second, the enemy must have ambushed snipers on the left flank, and if we make a detour, we will inevitably be discovered by snipers. Then we will be a living target. Radham said.
Luo Tai frowned slightly and thought about it. I think the second lieutenant is right, at present, it is impossible to find the location of the sniper by just observing it with the naked eye. Snipers are ghosts in the army, they always hide in the most hidden corners and get out of sight, but when you're careless, they will rush out like cheetahs and bite you to death.
"Do we have any snipers here?" Rotai asked, turning his head.
Radham shook his head.
"In this case, we can only fight for consumption?" Rotai asked.
"That's all there is to it for now." Radham nodded, and then said: "The number of enemies is not much, I have already contacted the nearby M Company, and they will be able to send reinforcements soon..." "Reinforcements should have arrived."
Rotai followed Radham's gaze, and the eight figures were hunched over, lined up, and quickly moved to this side. He recognized at a glance Captain Miller, starring Tom Hanks, in the middle!
There was nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, but he didn't expect Captain Miller to appear at this time. Luo Tai smiled happily, it is really an eye, and now he can save himself the trouble of looking for it.
"I'm afraid this isn't your reinforcements," Rotai muttered.
"What do you mean?" Radham asked, puzzled.
Rotai didn't answer, just shrugged his shoulders. Second Lieutenant Radham bowed over to meet him. The eight members of the Rescue GI Team soon met with Radham.
Their clear faces appeared in Luo Tai's eyes. The leader was naturally Captain Miller, and Captain Miller was followed by a strong, big-eyed white man, a sergeant major, very experienced in combat, and heroic and tenacious, named Mike.
Mike is next to Leybin, who in the film has an argument with Captain Miller, a handsome young man. And then there's Jackson, a clear, but resolute sniper. Next to him is a Jewish mustache, and at the end of the film, he is stabbed in the heart with a bayonet by a German soldier who has been released, and he dies a terrible death, his name is Miles. He is flanked by the military doctor, Weide, and a black soldier, Capazo, who is killed by snipers in the film trying to save a little French girl, and finally the timid translator Urban.
Radham and Miller talked for a while avoiding bullets, and realized that the eight men were indeed not reinforcements. However, Captain Miller did not leave and ordered his men to join the battle.
When the two sides were deadlocked, there were suddenly eight more people, and the balance of victory was suddenly reversed to the side of the Allies. Captain Miller and Radham crouched down beside Rotai.
"This is the advice that this corporal mentioned to me, I don't know if it's feasible." Radham had apparently taken Rotai's just building to SΓΉ Miller.
Captain Miller looked at Rothy and said, "Hello, I'm Captain Miller. β
"Hello, I'm Luo... Robin. Company F of the Airborne Division. Luo Tai nodded. Now that they are fighting, the two can't bother to shake hands and greet each other.
"It's true that the left flank is a gap, but Second Lieutenant Radham is right, there must be snipers on the building floor." Captain Miller said.
Luo Tai looked at the building floor in the distance, thought about it with a frown, and then said to Captain Miller: "Captain, this building floor only has two floors, if there is a sniper, he can only hide in the second floor, the best position for sniping should be in the second window facing us, if we can touch within five meters of the building floor, he can't see it at all, at this time, we climb up to the second floor, we can kill him lightly!" β
Miller and Radham looked at Rotai in some surprise, and the two of them muttered for a while, Captain Miller shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether you can climb up to the second floor, you see..." In other words, if you touch it, you will be sent to death. β
Rotai looked at it and said, "If the sniper shoots, will we be able to find his location?" β
"That shouldn't be a problem, Jackson can do it, and as soon as the sniper fires, his location will be revealed. However, we cannot come to this position at the expense of soldiers' lives. Miller said, wiping the rain from his face.
"I'll touch it." Luo Tai said firmly. He is very confident in this, and when he shoots within ten meters, he can split the bullet in half with a pig-killing knife, and this reaction has long surpassed ordinary people by ten times. No matter how fast the bullet of the sniper rifle was, it was within 100 meters, and Luo Tai believed that his sixth sense could dodge it.
As soon as Rotai's words came out, Radham and Captain Miller were stunned....
