Chapter 62: Tank Attack

"Really?" Winters had mixed feelings, on the one hand, because all the brothers on Lieutenant Meehan's plane were killed, and on the other hand, if he became a company commander, then he could let go of his hands and feet, instead of being a submissive platoon commander, which was also a kind of excitement of getting his wish fulfilled.

"Don't talk about this yet, Nick!" Winters groaned.

Nickerson disagreed: "Dick, you are too careful, no one will make irresponsible comments about this, you are now the highest official rank of E Company, this is an inevitable thing." What's more, let the brothers know the actual situation earlier, and let the brothers all follow your orders earlier. That's all that matters. ”

Nickerson also made sense, Winters decided that this matter would be left as it for the time being, and he would not take the initiative to explain it to his brothers, but it would be better if someone stood up and explained. In actual battles, he must be in command.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Nickerson smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, the result is the same anyway." Then he pointed to the four tanks parked next to him and said, "This is the heavy firepower I brought to you." This is the infantry division dialed over, take advantage of the time you can still drive, try to use it as much as possible! Is there anything you need to do now? ”

Winters couldn't help but be overjoyed: "If that's the case, it's much easier!" Then he told Nickerson, "We were attacked from Brekut Manor, and they kept shooting at us with MG42s between the manor and the fence. And we only have mortars, and we can't completely deal with them at all. ”

Nickerson nodded, then climbed into the tank and shouted at the tank's lieutenant commander, "Man, I've got you guys." Then he pointed to Winters, who was standing aside, and said, "That's the paratrooper lieutenant, he needs your help!" ”

The lieutenant stood in the tank, stuck his head out of the top cover, and shouted at Winters, "Lieutenant, do you need me to do something for you?" ”

Winters stepped forward, climbed into the tank, and said to the lieutenant, "There is a place over there called the Brekut Manor, and we are under machine gun fire from the Germans, and I am going to fire on that manor along that side, that side, and that side of the fence." Destroy all remaining targets. As he spoke, he pointed to several targets in the direction of the Brekut Manor.

"I need infantry to cover me!" The lieutenant shouted.

"I'll let the brothers of Company E cover up!" Winters said, beckoning to Parks and the others, and gathered the brothers, "Okay, brothers, we now have to completely deal with the Germans in the Brekut Manor over there, now we must cooperate with the tanks to attack, everyone must pay attention to cover themselves, don't get hurt, the Germans don't have heavy weapons." ”

"Lieutenant, let's get started!" Winters looked at the brothers, tired but no one showed signs of malaise, and jumped out of the tank and nodded to the lieutenant.

The lieutenant looked at the place and gave the order. With a roar, the tank rushed towards the target.

"Kill those Germans!" The tankmen shouted, and the machine gunners used 30 mm machine gun bullets to smash the fence everywhere, and soon the Germans who were hiding there fled, and they were unable to hide themselves from the tank's machine gun bullets.

But those tankmen were all participating in the battle for the first time, and their nerves were tense and excited, and they almost refused to let go when they pulled the trigger. Bullets rained down like torrential rain. Splashed on the Germans who had escaped.

"Puff puff!" Soon the Germans were shot dead from behind, and one of them had a scoop on his head.

"Vomit-" Some of the paratroopers who participated in the battle for the first time could not help but retch as they passed by the corpses. And then these are nothing to the paratroopers who have participated in many battles or the battle of the manor, their expressions are normal, and their faces do not change.

"You can really bear it!" Tibo, who had just returned from the team, said to Parks.

"We've seen even more disgusting ones!" "In one of our encounters, there was a German whose head was shot off, and only the skin on his neck was still attached, and his brains and blood were stuck to his own face. ”

Tibo hurriedly distanced himself from Kaber. He didn't want to hear those disgusting words.

This attack was like going out for a walk with a tank. The Germans were beaten to the ground, and the distance from the fence to the house of the manor was a distance of death, and few Germans managed to escape to the house.

"Boom-"

A corner of the house in the manor was blown off. The Germans used the walls of the house and the trenches dug near the house as a backing to return fire on the brothers of Company E with MG42 machine guns.

Although the MG42 machine gun was not very accurate under the suppression of the tank machine gun, the bullets flew "chirping" overhead, which made the brothers of E Company, who participated in the battle for the first time, somewhat uneasy.

"Tebo, don't rush forward, stay behind the tank!" Parks reminded a somewhat agitated Tipo that he had rushed to the front of the tank, but was pulled back by Parks. In such a battle, there is no need to charge. Let the tanks crush the Germans. Soon under the cover of tanks, the brothers of Company E had already rushed to the vicinity of the buildings of the estate.

The Germans saw that they could not hold it anymore and fled behind one after another.

"Baby, look at me!" Tibo raised his gun and took aim, and a German in front of him was crawling out of the trench, then threw away his rifle and ran back desperately.

M1 made a crisp sound. The German shook and fell to the ground, but soon he got up again, fell again, and crawled forward as hard as he could.

Tebo's shot hit him in the thigh and he couldn't get up. But fear made him desperately want to escape from this hellish place, and he felt terrified when he watched his brothers around him fall, twitch, and howl miserably.

"I hit him!" Tibo followed a tank, shouting excitedly. It was the first German he hit, "I'm going to take him as a prisoner, Parks, he's my first." ”

At this time, the tank suddenly accelerated ahead of the loss, and in a blink of an eye it was in front of the German. Obviously, the German heard the roar of the tank beside him, turned over in panic, and saw a huge steel giant driving towards him.

"Hey, wait, he's mine!" Tibo yelled at the heavy man on the tank.

But the tank ran over the German mercilessly, and the German's miserable screams, as if suddenly choked, made a crisp "click" sound, as if it had crushed an egg, and then viscous liquid and minced meat splashed out all around.

"Oh-" Tibo crouched down and vomited all the night's food.

"Oh my God!" He gasped for breath, then looked up at Parkes, who had already walked up to him with the M1, "Is this war?" It's disgusting. "The shock of this scene to him was too strong. A living life and **, just like that, became a lump of meat puree. Yes, it's a mess of meat.

"I'll see you later!" Parks laughed and pulled him up, "Slow to get used to it, if you can't get rid of some." But in my opinion, you can't get away with it. ”

"This damn war!" Tibo felt better, and he tried not to look at the mess.

"Boom-" There was another loud bang, and the tanks were firing 75mm tank guns at those buildings. The masonry of the building was splashed, and the helpless screams of the Germans could be heard from inside. Then a couple of Germans rushed out.

Soon the men were killed by machine guns and the brothers of Company E and rolled down the slope. The tank continued to move forward, when suddenly a German suddenly got up from among the fallen corpses, holding a bundle of grenades in his hand, and rolled towards the tank.

"Oops!" The tankman shouted, if the German blew up the tracks, the car would be scrapped. He shot desperately at the German, but the bullets were all in the back of the German.

The men of Company E shot at the German soldier one after another, but the guy was very slippery and rolled so fast that he dodged the bullets and quickly rolled under the tank.

"Lie down!" Parks' first reaction was that if the bundle of grenades exploded, it would not only blow up the tracks, but also affect the brothers of Company E around the tank.

He threw Tipo next to the tank to the ground, and then heard a loud explosion.

"Boom-"

Parks felt his ears deafened, buzzing, and covered in dirt. He hurriedly stood up and checked his body, but fortunately he was not injured.

"Damn it!" Timber screamed, then got up and said to Parks, "Thanks, Parks! I'm the one who bothered you! ”

Parks patted him on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything. But there was still a brother in E Company who was wounded, it was Guth, who was injured in the calf, and a piece of shrapnel passed through.

"Damn the Germans!" Gu Si scolded.

The tank stopped, the tracks blew up. The tankmen inside crawled out unwillingly, and the machine gunners stopped for a moment and began to fire again from the machine guns on the tanks. At this time, taking advantage of the delay in the attack of Company E, seven or eight Germans ran out of the house, and they scattered and rushed towards the woods.
