I have never felt that a road is so long, as if it will never be finished.

Using the Church of Our Lady as a reference, Parks determined the way forward. A group of people moved forward silently, the road ahead was dark, and they didn't know when they would come to the end or turn a corner.

And that's not the worst of it, because there are a lot of mines planted on the road, and if you're not careful, you'll go straight to God. Everyone walks cautiously. They had walked for more than an hour, and they had only advanced three miles.

Hillsides and woods are becoming denser and denser on both sides of the road. The leather boots were stepped on in some stiff places, wrapped in dust and leaves, and made a slight "rustle" sound, like a sloppy nocturne.

"How long are we going to go?" Caber's nerves were tense all night, as if he were talking to himself, as if he were asking, he said it very carefully, in a deep voice.

"I don't know, we should have walked half the way, maybe in an hour, we will reach Santa Marie de Monte, it should not be far, we will be able to get there before dawn." Lutz whispered. He seemed to be comforting Kaber, and as if he was comforting himself, "Don't worry, Kaber, you must accompany me to the walk." ”

"Perhaps, brother!" Kaber's tone was better, but he was still a little depressed.

At this time, Gordon and Christen, who were walking in front of them, suddenly stopped, and then raised their fists. Everyone quickly leaned down, and Kaber's heart was beating fast, and his breathing became heavy. Luz was next to him and reached out and patted Kaber on the back.

Parks came to Gordon's side as soon as he was a cat.

"It seems that there is a sound at the bad intersection ahead!" Gordon pointed ahead, and then there was a faint glow, and there was a turning junction, faintly like the sound of another engine.

Motorized patrols of the German army! Parks listened carefully and immediately made a judgment.

He waved back, and the brothers behind him immediately surrounded him.

"Remember brothers, this is a motorized patrol, it may be a motorcycle or a car, about 6 to 7 or so, we may face an enemy who is more numerous than us."

"Do it, Parks!" Guth gritted his teeth.

Parks said, "Gordon, Guth and Eubanks are moving to the left of the intersection and occupy a high position. The rest followed me and formed a defensive position on the right side of the hill, brothers, do as I commanded! ”

The fire in the Church of Our Lady was quickly extinguished, and a battalion of German paratroopers was stationed here, which was part of the 6th Parachute Regiment, and their commander was the Colonel Frederick, who was anxiously wandering around the church? Vonder? Colonel Haight. He is an experienced soldier who has served in the German Army since the mid-20s of the 20th century, leading troops in Poland, France, Russia, Crete, North Africa and other places.

Since the division commanders were in the Rennes and Seine regions, Colonel Haidt was the highest-ranking commander in the region. He deployed a battalion in and around the Church of Our Lady, a battalion in Santa Marie de Monte, and a battalion in Carentão. All of his platoons were in combat mode, and some had already engaged the Americans sporadically. But here, there, it seems, everywhere there are reports of airborne, and in this chaotic situation it is impossible to organize a coordinated counterattack.

"Captain Raymond, give me two shifts, I'm going to St. Mary de Monte to see, we can't figure out anything with us here." Colonel Haight decided to go to St. Mary de Monte for himself, and he was not worried about the place.

At this time a tall and thin captain officer came over, and he brought two squads of about 20 soldiers.

"Colonel, I'll take you personally. A lot of Americans have landed here! Captain Raymond looked serious.

Colonel Haight glanced at him and thought for a moment: "Okay, you can hand over the command here and hand over your company to Major Ross, and he will be in charge." ”

"Yes, Colonel!" Raymond stood straight, then walked away with his head held high.

Raymond is a good assault man, as he has proven in the 6th Parachute Regiment, his company is the best soldier in the regiment, he is rigorously trained, several picky, and those who can continue to stay in the company are soldiers who have survived many difficulties, have perseverance and strength, and more importantly, this company attaches more importance to honor.

A short time later, a convoy of three-wheeled motorcycles pulled out of the Church of Our Lady, one in front of the road, followed by Captain Raymond's, Colonel Haight's motorcycle in the fourth, followed by three more. Raymond took the most cautious approach, placing the commander in the middle, so that he had a chance to escape if he was attacked at the head and end.

The motorcycle swayed messily on the road that was still a bit rough in the night, making the sound of a dull engine. Colonel Haight's mind was long gone. He was anxious to know what was going on in St. Mary de Monte now, and he could climb to the commanding heights of St. Mary de Monte, the church tower, fifty or sixty meters above the ground, and get a full view of the Utah Beach.

"Tell them to hurry up!" Haight couldn't help but feel irritated when he thought about it, and urged loudly,

But Raymond had his own opinion: "Colonel, we had better maintain this speed, if we are too fast, on such a road, there may be a car accident, my duty is to keep you safe." ”

Haight knew he was right, so he didn't say anything. He just stared straight ahead.

"There's a 'T' junction ahead, we're going to turn, Colonel, please wait and I'll go over and see what happens." Raymond cautiously suggested, then gestured to stop the convoy behind. That's what he suggested at every 'T' junction.

"You'd better hurry!" Colonel Haight was a little anxious, but he knew that it would be beneficial.

Raymond nodded, and drove with the motorcycle in front of him to the turn. He drove slowly, then motioned to the soldiers in both vehicles to use their flashlights to shine around.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a German soldier who stood up with a flashlight fell to the ground. Immediately, the gunshots rang out, and sparks erupted from both sides of the road.

"Ambush!" Raymond knew it was bad when he heard the gunshot, he screamed, jumped off the motorcycle with a roll, rolled on the ground a few times, and just left the motorcycle when the car hit the gas tank and exploded. Where he had just rolled, there were puffs of dirt from the bullets.

The man who ambushed them was none other than Parks, who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the road just now. The Germans were very clever this time, they only sent two cars out to explore the road, but he knew that there was definitely a car behind him, and from the vehicle that explored the way, he found a captain officer, so he was even more sure that the one behind it must be a big fish.

He didn't give the order to shoot, he had to wait quietly for the big fish behind. The light of the German flashlights flickered in front and on both sides, and they were well concealed and motionless.

The flashlight swayed in the woods and on the slopes. Kaber was so nervous that his hand grabbed the rifle he had racked, and then he aimed at the Germans in the car. A heart is about to pop out of my throat.

Suddenly, the flashlight paused in a place across from him, and he knew it was Gordon and them. He saw that the light of the flashlight stopped, and a voice in his heart shouted: The Germans had discovered them. Caber felt his muscles tighten and stiffen, and he almost wanted to jump up and pull the trigger at the Germans, but he looked overwhelmed.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the German, along with the flashlight, fell to the ground like a stake. Then the fire on both sides of the road was in full swing.

The Germans tried to stand up, but were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest. Kaber saw a German officer, he raised his gun and fired, but missed, the German officer was very slippery, rolled to the ground, and then rolled a few times, but Kaber hit the fuel tank of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle exploded, and the officer took advantage of the fire of the explosion, got up, and ran towards the intersection at a fast speed, he was only a few steps away from the intersection, as long as he turned around, he escaped.

"Bang!" After a few shots and no hits, Kaber cursed in a low voice, "Shit! Seeing that the officer was about to run away, he couldn't help but jump out, but he heard a man next to him stand up and raise his gun.

"Bang bang bang!" Three gunshots. The German officer fell to the ground at the turn, prostrate and did not move. Then they heard the sound of the motorcycle starting.

Parks rushed out, knowing the big fish was going to run. But at the turn, another three-wheeled motorcycle burst out, and the motorcycle sprayed a tongue of fire on it, making a "click" sound - it was a machine gun fire.

Seeing the opportunity, Parks rolled over and rolled aside, the bullet grazing his ear, scraping himself painfully. The brothers, who were about to rush out with Parks, were immediately suppressed by the machine guns.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the machine gunner suddenly fell, it turned out that Gordon saw the opportunity and killed him with one shot, and the other two German soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to escape, but were shot and killed by the brothers on both sides.

Parks got up and spat out a mouthful of dirt, just now because he was in a hurry, he was caught off guard and a little embarrassed. When he arrived at the intersection, the three-wheeled motorcycles had already run a long way. He lowered his head and looked at the German officer who had fallen at the intersection. It was a captain, and then Parks' eyes lit up, and he saw the captain's pistol holster, and hurriedly reached out to open it, and a Luger pistol suddenly appeared in front of him.
