Chapter 277: Decision

The snow fell silently, on Ritter's face and body, and he sat in a strange position on the snow, his eyes glaring at Captain Parkes, his face splattered with Roburn's blood, and in the light of the snow, he looked unusually terrible. And there was a corpse lying next to him, this corpse had just laughed with himself, smoked together, and fought to the death.

Ritter's man in the U.S. military uniform was examining Robern's body, taking 98k rifles, bullets, grenades, bayonets, bandages, and the like from his body, and looting almost everything Robern had. Although the American soldier never looked at him, and was only seriously searching for the body, Ritter did not dare to move, because the man had eagle-like eyes, even in the dark night, it seemed to make people feel more stressed.

"There are not many bullets, only twenty-one, two grenades, the bayonet is still sharp, and there is still some gain." Parks muttered, then turned around, picked up Ritter's rifle, and said to Ritter in pure German, "You're lucky, aren't you going to surrender to the Americans?" Now hand over your bullets and grenades, you're my prisoner now."

Ritter looked at Parks in horror, he could see that it was a captain, nodded quickly, and then handed Parks all the bullets and grenades around him. Actually, it's not much, but it's much stronger than Robern, there are thirty-three bullets and four grenades, all of which are wooden handles like Robern's.

Parks packed the items in the bag he was carrying, then picked up his rifle and smiled at Ritter, "Okay, now you can follow me, I have some questions for you."

Ritter didn't say anything, he quickly got up, raised his hands, and walked along the route Parks had specified. This was the best result he could think of, at least the American captain saved him, and he became a prisoner of the American army as he wished. But he was still a little worried, and from time to time he hesitated to glance back at Captain Parkes, who was walking behind him.

"What's the problem? Ritter" Parks called his name.

Rittelton stopped, he turned around, and said to Parks very sincerely: "Sir, what I want to say is that I really didn't participate in the massacre of prisoners of war, I didn't do it, I didn't even know it, you must have heard me and Robern, I didn't lie, what I said was the truth." ”

Parks shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, there will be evidence for everything, of course, if you know, it's best to be able to testify for us and point out those who slaughtered the American army." ”

"I ...... I only found out after the fact, I was told ......," Ritter muttered.

"That's enough, well, all you have to do now is cooperate with us and I'll have some questions for you," Parks said, continuing to let Ritter walk forward. They weren't far from the little tent Parks had set up.

Parks went to the sentry post alone, while Carber, Toy, and Hudson were not sleepy. In such an environment, they couldn't sleep at all, and it was too cold.

"As I said, how can there be German troops in such a situation? They have retreated, we are on the offensive. How many times have I said it, but the boss is very careful," said Caber in the tent, and he had complained almost several times.

"What else? That's what you're going to say, Kaber, listen to what the boss says, be careful," Toy looked at Kaber, and the dark Kaber's face wasn't very clear, a little blurry.

"Alright, well, let's stop arguing about this, let's think about how to survive the night. God knows when this snow will fall. If it's a sunny day, we'll be there early today," said Caber, curling up on the mat in the tent, tightening his coat again.

Hudson, who was sitting silently on the side, suddenly spoke: "Toy, now that Captain Parks is returning to the company, he will continue to lead us, so in the days to come, will I be able to get a Luger?" To be honest, I hear jealous of your row, knowing that every time there is a special operation, it is your row that participates, I think it's a little unfair."

"There's nothing unfair, to be honest, a platoon was trained by Captain Parks, how our combat strength is, don't you know? Don't just look at our victories, it's unfair to say that, we're better prepared than anyone else for them," Toy shrugged off Hudson's words.

"Alright, alright" Hudson was a little discouraged, for he knew that Toy was right, "but anyway, I still have a chance to get Ruger's, don't I?" Anyway, the captain is back, and anything is possible" Hudson finally seemed to comfort himself, and then he also curled up and lay down against Kaber, but Carber took his place and kicked him.

"Damn, Hudson, what do you want to do?" Kaber muttered dissatisfiedly, then shifted his position to Hudson and said, "Look, you're never going to get a Luger pistol like that."

"You don't count, Kaber," Hudson replied.

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's wait for the leader to come back, wait a little longer, Kaber you have to go out on patrol, you take up too much space, and this damn tent is not for you alone." Toy is also unhappy that Kaber has taken up too much space.

A few people were talking, and suddenly Caber turned over and said to a few people: "Shut up, it seems that someone is coming" It was obvious that he was lying on his side on the ground, his ears were close to the ground, and it was easy to hear a very slight sound, and she heard the sound of someone stepping on the snow now. Then he stood up abruptly and stopped Toy.

Toy was stunned for a moment, looked at Kaber suspiciously, and said, "It should be that the head is back."

"No, it's two people, the footsteps of two people, the sound of stepping on the snow is very clear, I'm sure I heard it right" Kaber rolled over, quickly climbed out of the tent, and patted the two of them at the same time, "Let's hide, hide behind the jeep, maybe it's Germans" Kaber's suggestion is the most appropriate.

The three men hurried out of the tent and hid behind the jeep near the tent. As soon as they hid themselves, a German soldier stepped out of the woods, and Karber was taken aback, while Toy quietly pulled out his dagger.

"And the Captain," Hudson suddenly called softly. He couldn't see it very clearly, the visibility was too low, but he could vaguely see a man in a U.S. military uniform.

"Toy" someone was calling, obviously hearing the voice was Captain Parkes, the three of them couldn't help but relax, Toy stood up first, and then raised his hand to Parks and said, "Chief, I'm here"

The three of them couldn't help but stare at him in surprise when they saw the German prisoners in Parkes' carry. Obviously, it was Kaber who was most surprised, but he didn't expect that there were really German troops operating in this area.

"Look, Kaber, you're wrong again, there's no reason for your complaints every time," Hudson stood beside him and whispered a smile at him, but Carber could only laugh twice, in fact, he was wrong.

"Hold, Toy, the Germans' rifles, barely usable." Parks tossed a rifle to Toy, then pulled out a grenade and gave two to both Caber and Hudson, "Take both, it's not as good as the American goods, but we'll have to rely on this." Guys, we have a tough decision to make. Parks said, his expression becoming a little serious.

"Did we meet a battalion of Germans?" Kaber couldn't help but get a little worried. You have to know that there are only four people on your side, and there is also a German prisoner, if it is a large group of German troops, then it is definitely out of a very dangerous situation.

"Listen to the boss, Kaber" Toy glared at Kaber, and then said to Parks, "Say, boss, what are we going to do, we follow your arrangement, you are our leader, and we are also the company commander, and we are still under your command"

Parks nodded and said, "Well, I interrogated this captive on the way here just now, and he told me something, and this matter needs to be decided together. About a mile away there is a group of Germans, probably men, escorting 48 American prisoners, and the good news is that they may not be present to us yet, and the bad news is that in two hours, they will have no one to go back to replace the people on duty, and we are in danger of being seen at any time. We need to make a decision now. ”

"Sir, what is your decision?" Hudson looked at Captain Parks and said.

"I don't know yet, but what I'm thinking about now is that we have 48 more brothers being captured by the Germans, and I've got a message from this German prisoner. General Eisenhower's massacre of Malmedi was the work of this group, and the Gurion School was the executioner himself, and his plan was to shoot the 48 prisoners of war if they did not make it to the town of Norville. ”

"God" Toy suddenly covered his face, then looked at Parks, trying to say something, but didn't say it.

Karber's lips twitched a few times, and finally he spoke, "Chief, we are weak—"

Parks nodded and said, "Yes, I know." So I can't make up my mind right now, because if we're going to do this, then we have to be prepared, and we could die at any time."

"I'm willing to do it," Toy raised his hand first.

Hudson hesitated, then raised his hand and said, "Count me in."

Captain Parks looked at Kaber and said, "Karber, do you have any questions?" ”

Caber looked at Parks, then at Toy and Hudson, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I don't have a problem"

"Very well, what we have to do now is to plan this well before the Germans show us," Parks said, turning around again and speaking in German to the German prisoner Ritter, "you see, we only have four of us now, and we don't have enough manpower, and we are also going to carry out a surprise attack on your team, either you take us to a sneak attack, and if you succeed, you will get away with it, I believe what you said, not a single prisoner of war was shot, I will testify for you or you will take us to the Germans, And then expose our target, but I'll be the first to kill you, how do you choose? ”

Ritter had no idea that he would be captured by such a four-man U.S. team, he thought he would be sent straight to the prisoner of war camp, but now he was faced with such a choice that Parks had given him. He couldn't make up his mind, and when Parks was a little impatient, he finally made up his mind: "Captain, I hope to prove my innocence"
