Chapter 202: Reinforcements from Company D

"And the grenades, Hashii, for you!" Avery handed the grenade to Hashiyi, keeping the pistol and rifle himself.

"Alright, it's only a minor injury, Ellie, can you walk to the rear yourself?" Doctor Luo bandaged Ellie, and then said to him, "I can't send you over, now." I still have a lot to do here! ”

"Of course, I can do it myself!" Eli, supported by Hashiyi and Sergei, stood up and limped backwards.

"Are you sure you don't need to be taken care of?" Hashiyi shouted behind him.

"No, no, you go and the Germans!" Without looking back, Ellie raised his hand and shook his hand without looking back.

The Germans' chaotic situation was made worse by their constant scattering and fleeing. At this moment, Pikak suddenly saw more German soldiers about 100 yards ahead, swarming across the embankment from the south, which the SS had not previously discovered. They joined up with the retreating SS troops and rushed eastward, trying to avoid the fire of Company E. In this way, their goal is even greater.

"Oh shit, almost a whole company of Germans has appeared!" Pikak exclaimed.

The Germans, apparently in a panic, tried to run over to a grove of trees next to the embankment, where there was another road to the river. The Germans began to make a detour to the left and began to move along the road towards the river!

"Boyle, hurry up, shoot at them." Parks shouted loudly, "Pankara, Mook, don't let your mortars sit idle, they're concentrating, it's our chance." ”

Boyle adjusted the muzzle of his gun and fired heavily at the Germans who were detouring, while Pankara and Mook kept adjusting the coordinates of the mortars, firing several shells at the Germans. Although it was not as accurate as it was at the beginning, the pressure on the German army can be imagined. Their speed was slowed down.

"Rutz, walkie-talkie, report the attack on the artillery command post, we need support!" Parks beckoned to Lutz. "Connected!" Ruz yelled at him. Parks grabbed the walkiephone and started calling.

"Request artillery support for the Yellow 1st District!" Parks shouted loudly, then looked at the Germans in front of him and quickly made an assessment, "Add a hundred yards, three groups of dense fire." Two hundred yards minus and one hundred yards to the left! Repeat, plus a hundred yards, three groups of dense shooting. Two hundred yards minus and one hundred yards to the left! The Germans are in the open, shoot effectively, over! ”

British artillery fire, under the guidance of Parks, began to carry out heavy artillery bombardment on the fleeing German troops. Obviously, this time they fought very accurately, and the Germans continued to fall under the bombardment of artillery, and they scattered one after another, trying to reduce the casualties to a minimum.

"Company Commander Parks, what do we do now?" Pikak crossed the road and ran to Parkes' side, "The Germans are retreating towards the river, are we going to pursue them?" ”

Parks looked around him and couldn't help but shake his head, it was obvious that it would be difficult to deal with more than 150 German troops with 35 men. After all, this is no longer a surprise attack, but a real offensive battle, and losing the sudden surname will inevitably increase the difficulty of the attack and increase the number of casualties among the brothers in the platoon.

Four were wounded, ten Germans were captured. Parks shouted to the few people who had just climbed the embankment of the road: "Sergei, come here, take these German prisoners back." ”

Sergey heard Parks' order and immediately ran over.

"There are ten captives here, and I want them all to be taken back alive." Parks looked at him with some seriousness, "Have you heard of something?" About the captives? ”

"I've heard of it, but I'm sure it's all rumors, not worth believing, sir!" Sergey nodded.

Parks nodded, "That's fine, don't take those words, and don't learn to do that." Escort the prisoners back to the battalion command post. Alive. Remember? Private of the first class! ”

"Got it, sir, rest assured, they'll be alive. And even outlive us! Sergei knew what Parks meant, and it was clear that Company Commander Parks didn't want any more killings.

The crossing where the Germans had crossed the river was at the end of the road where Parks was located, so the Germans had to return to it now. Parks hoped to capture the crossing before the Germans arrived.

"Lutz, contact battalion command." Parks beckoned to Lutz again. Now he needs to ask the battalion headquarters for support, and he needs more manpower to complete this task.

Winters received a call from Parks at the battalion headquarters, and he heard Parks' brief debriefing and quickly briefed Lieutenant Colonel Chase.

"Parks was on the south side of the levee and exchanged fire with the infiltrating Germans." Winters reported to Lieutenant Colonel Chase, "They were confronted by two full companies of Germans. It was clear that they had only one platoon, and although they had successfully attacked them, it was not enough to annihilate the Germans at the crossing. They need support! ”

"What? Two whole companies? Lieutenant Colonel Chase couldn't help but look at Winters in surprise when he heard Winters' report.

"I'm afraid so, the Germans are clearly not ordinary patrols. They want to infiltrate with two companies in today's offensive and then attack our battalion headquarters, or regimental headquarters. "Winters easily saw the intentions of the Germans." Now there are more than 150 Germans left, and there are only 30 of them in Parkes, four wounded, and one has been taken prisoner back to the battalion! ”

"God!" Lieutenant Colonel Chase patted his forehead, then nodded, "Okay, okay, we still have Company D as a reserve company, and Platoon D Company is going to assist them." It would be better to crush those Germans, if not to them, then to make them incapable of launching an attack on the south bank of the levee. ”

"Thank you very much!" Winters said this suddenly, and then began to gather D Company, and eliminated a platoon of troops to support Parks, bringing more supply ammunition.

Parks was keeping an eye on the Germans who were swarming towards the ferry, and then suppressed the pursuing brothers, waiting for reinforcements from Company D. Just when he was about to scold the bureaucrats at the battalion headquarters. The men of Company D came.

At the head was Lieutenant Spierre, who held out his hand to Parks and smiled, "It's a pleasure to work with you." We've brought some ammunition with us, so you can take it as you please. ”

Parks shook his hand and nodded, "Hello, Lieutenant Spierre." We don't have time to talk about it, we have to act at once, cut off the Germans, and then stop them from taking the crossing. ”

"Well, follow your arrangement!" Lieutenant Spierre was very cooperative. In front of Parks, the middle and lower-ranking officers of the 506th Regiment, and even the entire 101st Airborne Division, will probably adopt the same attitude towards Parks as Lieutenant Reese. Because he now has too many representative surnames. No one can refuse. And Spiel was a little cautious about Parks.

"Sergeant Tybert's brothers from Company D have brought ammunition, you can distribute it immediately." Parks shouted at Tybert, "Prepare the brothers, we're going to attack the Germans!" ”

"So, our arrangement!" Lieutenant Spiel looked at Parks.

Parks nodded at him and said, "We have about 60 people now, I and the brothers of Company E form a team of about thirty people, and you lead the brothers of Company D to form a team. We're going to set up a firepoint, and then you're going about 100 meters and then you're going to set up a firepoint, and we're going along the road, jumping over your fire, stopping and setting up a firepoint. We crossed forward, supporting each other with points of fire. Now we are about 600 meters away from the ferry and we can occupy it this way! Still have questions? ”

"Very good!" Lieutenant Spierre nodded, "Can we start the attack?" "He's already jumping on the bandwagon. He wanted to use this fight to prove something in front of Parks.

"Waiting for our orders!" Parks nodded to him, and then he began to hurry his brothers in his company, who began to set up firing points, and all kinds of weapons opened fire on the Germans to cover the attack of D Company Spierre.

"Let's go, now, quick!" Parks set up the fire and shouted at Spiel.

Spiel stood up and shouted, "Guys, let's go up." With that, he rushed out first. Running quickly in the direction of the river beach. He had no scruples at all, holding a Thomson submachine gun, and with this biggest stride, it was like an athlete participating in some sprint athletic meeting.

The Germans spotted him and began to design at him, bullets hitting his feet, splashing up clouds of dirt, but Spiel seemed to ignore this, and he kept directing the soldiers forward, and then jumped, dodging the bullets.

"Oh my God, what is he doing?" Pikak looked a little dumbfounded, "The Flash? ”

Parks shook his head, it was obvious that Spear was indeed very brave, he would be indomitable at any time, but the price of this was the casualties of his brothers, a distance of 100 meters, two brothers in Company D were wounded, and one brother was shot in the head by the Germans and died on the spot. Even this did not stop Spiel's rapid advance.

"They've arrived!" Tybert yelled at Parks, he saw the OK gesture from Lieutenant Spiel, and they had already established a point of fire at a hundred meters.

"It's our turn!" Parks yelled, "Guys, let's rush up, speed, keep pace and pitch so the Germans won't be easy to hit you." Hurry up, Hashiyi, go! Mook, move fast, don't be so slow. ”

At this time, Tybert also kept shouting in the group, reminding the brothers to keep their distance and move quickly.

"Damn it, Yuman, you run! Are you a woman? Tybert's words were a bit unpleasant, but they stimulated the brothers to run as hard as they could. Then they reached the intended target and began to build points of fire. No one was injured in the advance of Company E.

Parks began to make an "OK" gesture to Lieutenant Spiel.

"Alright, it's our turn again!" Spiel got up and was about to rush forward when the Germans began to stop a team of more than 70 people and counterattacked the Americans. They attacked Parks from the right flank.

"Damn, we've slowed down!" Parks cursed to himself, then waved at Spiel and told them to stop attacking, because attacking was now a risk. In Parks' opinion, there was no need to take this risk!
