Heavy snow began to fall on Pikak and their departure. Even in the daytime, the whole sky is gray, the visibility is very low, and the woods often encounter piles of felled numbers, piled up on the side, and the paths of the woods form natural timber piles. Also very good open bunkers.

Medical Officer Luo? Cooper crouched quietly under a large tree, watching Martin and the brothers walk forward. It's only a few steps away, and it's already blurry that they can't see their figures clearly. The road ahead was hazy, and only the shadows of the trees could still be faintly visible. Doctor Luo looked ahead in a daze, these days endured the German artillery fire and the miserable screams of the wounded, as well as his own back and forth running back and forth on the ambulance station and the defense line, which made him suddenly feel very tired, but he had to force himself every day, where he heard a shout, he would jump up like a spring, this was already a conditioned reflex.

The patrolling people have already gone away. He feared that they would run into the Germans. In fact, the purpose of the patrol was to encounter the Germans. Most of the German army may have been evacuated, but what was their strength? Where are their lines of defense? Are they infiltrating too? This required constant combat patrols of the entire front of the line of defense to compensate for the lack of its own forces. Although the Parks bunker could be positioned at the maximum distance, the possibility of German infiltration was still very high in snowy weather and very low visibility.

The group marched in columns through the snow, and even the veterans could not appear careless at such times, and the farther they went, the more likely they were to come into direct contact with the Germans. In very low visibility, everyone's ears stood up in a daze, and they listened to every sound coming from around them, and then judged whether they were from the Germans. They held their guns and kept looking around, occasionally raising their guns to aim at the place where there was a strange noise. Although they may not be able to target anything.

Martin and Julian were the scouts, and the two of them walked at the front of the group, and they pulled some distance from the group, bending over and trotting towards the front. The positions of the two are constantly crossed and swapped to form a posture of mutual cover.

Suddenly, Martin raised his fist at him, and then crouched down. Julian crouched down on Martin's right side, and he licked his lips, a little dry.

"Follow me!" Martin whispered to him as a large pile of felled wood lay in front of them. Martin said, holding his palms up horizontally and pointing forward. He bent over with his submachine gun in hand and trotted quickly close to the pair of logs, hiding himself behind the pile. At this time, Julian also ran over quickly and hid his body.

Martin poked his head out and looked ahead for a moment, where there was a pile of felled timber and no one seemed to be there. In fact, it is not that there is no one, but in the gray situation, nothing can be seen clearly in front of it.

"Let's go!" Martin gestured towards Julian, palms forward.

Julian nodded nervously, then bent over, and with a bow of his head, he rushed out of the pile of wood and sped forward. Suddenly, the sound of an MG42 light machine gun was heard, as if tearing through the gray air.

Suddenly there was a shout from the other side, but it was clear that it was not American troops, they were Germans, and they shouted and opened fire on Julian, and the bullets flew past Julian's side and overhead. His body paused for a moment, and he panicked a little, forgetting to avoid it, and just stood there straight.

"Damn it!" Martin cursed and yelled at him, "Get down, hurry up!" With a "whoosh", the bullet pierced Julian's neck, and his body was carried back by the impact of the bullet, and the whole person fell to the snow, one calf bent backwards, and his throat made a "gurgling" sound. He put one hand around his neck and tried to struggle to his feet, but he had no strength at all, and the rifle in the other hand was still on the side, his hand clutching the snow on the ground.

"Damn!" Martin got up and rushed over and dragged him behind the pile of wood, but as soon as he was up, the MG42 machine gun fired at him, and the bullet sent the trees and sawdust flying all over him, so that he could not reach out.

"Christenson, Heflang!" Martin yelled loudly behind him, "Hurry up to the front, hurry." ”

They all heard the gunshots coming from the front, and then they looked at the platoon commander, Lieutenant Pikak, and while waiting for his order, they heard Sergeant Martin's shouts.

"Lieutenant, we must go to the rescue!" Hefflang yelled at him, he was tired of the unresponsive guy.

"Let's wait, there may be only sporadic German troops ahead, Martin and Julian will take care of it!" Pikak muttered. He didn't have the slightest intention of moving forward.

"Shit!" Hefflang cursed, and he had run forward, followed by all his brothers.

Pikak couldn't help but whisper: "Okay, let's go and see, maybe by the time we go, the battle is over!" So saying, he trotted all the way and followed Hevron and them.

"John!" Christensen shouted, he had seen Martin, he was hiding behind a pile of wood, and the Germans had exchanged fire, and the Germans were MG42 machine guns, and the sound of frightening fire made everyone's hearts swoon.

"One of us got shot!" Martin shouted, "Julian was hit by the Germans!" Come over here with the pile of wood, we'll use this as a bunker! Hurry up, Christenson, machine gun, suppressive shooting! ”

"How's it going?" Heflon asked, leaning quickly beside Martin.

"Don't move, Julian, we've got to get out of here!" At this time, the deputy squad leader, Sergeant Ranny, rushed over, leaned against the back of the pile of wood, and yelled at Martin, "Let's go! ”

"I can save him, squad leader!" Hefflang suddenly shouted at Martin.

"Watch yourself!" Martin glanced at Heflang, then yelled at Christenson, "Suppress the fire, suppress the fire, we're going to save Julian." As soon as he finished speaking, Christenson's machine gun began to fire.

Luz had already started to contact the company headquarters, and he yelled into the walkie-talkie: "E Company Headquarters, E Company Headquarters, we have someone injured, we need a doctor and an ambulance!" ”

Heflon saw the right moment, rolled out of the pile of wood with a roll, and he began to crawl towards Julian. At this time, all the brothers began to fire at the German lines.

Hevron tried to climb to Julian's side, but the fire of the German MG42 machine gun was completely able to suppress them, and as soon as he climbed out, bullets flew over his head, and some hit the dirt in front of him, splashing bursts of snow and dirt.

Julian's eyes showed a look of longing, his hand reached for Heflang, trying to grab Heflang's hand so that he could take him away, he didn't want to die, he watched Hevron crawl out and then be driven back by the German bullets. I couldn't help but feel a pang of despair in my heart. He wanted to shout for help, but he couldn't make any noise, and a huge cut was torn in his neck. Blood gushed out one by one, and the red blood on the snow was particularly dazzling.

Several attempts by Hefflang failed, and the German machine guns kept him firmly in place, unable to move. He stopped and shouted at Julian, "Stay there, don't move!" Otherwise, they'll shoot you! His voice suddenly became hoarse, and a sense of sadness and powerlessness welled up in his chest.

The bullets continued to "whizz" towards the brothers, and the German fire completely suppressed the brothers. They were powerless, and it was clear that the Germans outnumbered Martin.

"I'll be in command here!" Pikak was lying on his stomach in the back, and he suddenly shouted at Martin, "I'll go to the company headquarters and ask for reinforcements, I'll be back soon!" So saying, he left on his stomach, then got up, and trotted all the way to the rear.

"Damn, I already knew about this outcome!" Lenny spat at Pikak's back and slammed it to the ground, then said to Martin, "We have to go, if we don't go, we'll all have to be killed by the Germans!" ”

"Don't move, they'll keep shooting, don't move, don't move!" Hefflang yelled at Julian, and as he looked at Julian's pleading eyes, an inexplicable sadness instantly welled up in his heart.

"Damn!" He scolded fiercely, and then he heard Christenson's shout: "Retreat, retreat, we have to retreat!" ”

"We can't stay here anymore!" Lenny yelled at Martin.

"Let's go, we'll leave! Come on, come on! Martin gestured backwards and yelled at everyone, "Go, quick!" ”

Hefflang looked at Julian helplessly and shouted, "Hold on, hold on, Julian, look at me, hold on!" He shouted as he got up, "Hold on, Julian, you wait for us, we will come back to save you!" Hold on! ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Martin continued to yell.

Christen's guns cover everyone's back, and then shoot Christen's retreat. They covered each other and ran in the direction they were coming from. Heflon glanced at Julian, wiped his nose, turned his head, and forced himself not to look into his eyes, he followed Martin and ran behind.

"Hurry up, let's go! We're almost back in line! Lenny greeted the brothers loudly.

The Germans fired constantly, their 98K rifles and MG42 machine guns had a long range, and in the process of retreating Private James? Wounded by a bullet, Waite was shot in the abdomen by a German 98k rifle bullet and fell headlong in the snow.

"Doctor!" Martin shouted, and by this time, Dr. Law had already come running from behind, and he lifted James's clothes, revealing a wound that was bleeding outward, very neatly wrapped in bandages, and using a morphine.

"E Company Headquarters, E Company Headquarters, we have people injured here, we need jeeps on standby at the company headquarters!" Lutz used a walkie-talkie to contact the company headquarters at this time!

"They hit Julian too!" Heflon shouted, "He's alive!" We've got to go back to him, Martin, and ask for company reinforcements, and we'll go back to Julian! ”

"We're in the German front," Martin shouted, "no, we're going to come back!" ”

"We've got to save Julian!" Hefflang yelled at Martin, his voice was so thick nasal that he almost cried, "He's still alive, please, don't give up on him!" ”

"He's not saved!" Knowing Julian's situation, Martin couldn't survive, he stood up and said, "Let's go back to Command!" ”
