Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Battle of Brecout's Manor (Part II)

When the German, seeing that the situation was not good, gave up his machine gun and was about to turn and flee, Parks shouted: "White! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! White shot next to him, and before the German turned around, he was shot by White, and when the bullet penetrated his body, the blood splattered on the German's own face, which looked a little terrifying. White was stunned for a moment, feeling a little nauseous.

"Get down!" Parks saw the second cannon there, and the defending Germans had taken aim at White, and he pounced on him, crushing White down in the trench, and then the machine gun bullets flew overhead.

"Thank you!" White was a little embarrassed.

"Focus!" Parks yelled, then tapped him on the shoulder, "Follow me." As he spoke, he bent his waist again and rushed forward with agility.

But Winters, who was forced into the trench by a machine gun, glanced at Pupai: "Can you climb back on your own?" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant!" Pupai nodded, his expression frustrated.

"Lipp, let him climb back on his own!" Winters said, "Throw the gun to him." Then he faced Compton again: "With grenades, we will blow them up, Parks, the Germans will run out and hand it over to you!" He gestured to Parks.

Compton, Goneri and a few others pulled out grenades, and then Winters counted for three seconds, and several grenades were thrown directly into the German trenches, and a continuous explosion was heard. The four Germans crawled out of the trench and began to run through the open in the direction of the Brekut estate.

"Kill them!" Parks shouted to Lip and the others.

Lip knocked one down with a carbine. White also hit one with a shot, and Lenny also hit one, and the remaining German soldier, who appeared to be a second lieutenant, fell while Parks was shooting, and Parks missed.

Parks was about to shoot again, when suddenly the officer raised his hands and shouted in broken English, "Surrender, surrender!" At this time, Goneri followed, and fired at the officer, and the bullets all hit him. But the hapless fellow was not yet dead, and he cried out: "Help! ”

"Malachi, give him a shot!" Parks couldn't help but frown.

"Well, look at me, German, go to God!" Malaki aimed at the German man's head, then pulled the trigger, and with a "bang", the German had blood on his head, and then he drooped.

"Hey, how is my marksmanship?" Maraki to Joe beside him? Toy teased, and then without waiting for Toy to answer, he stared at the German lieutenant he had killed and shouted, "Man, what's that guy's waist?" Ruger, God really favors me. I've got to get my hands on it. He also had in mind the capture of a lugg so that he could show off to his brothers like Parks.

Malaki climbed out of the trench and ran towards the German ensign.

"Malachi, you idiot! Come back soon! Winters shouted, and there were Germans lurking there.

Strangely, the Germans did not shoot, and everyone watched him run towards the German, but Maraki was dumbfounded, it was not a Luger pistol, but a 105-mm cannon's aiming leather.

"Damn it!" The enthusiasm subsided, and Maraki knew that he was in danger, and he cursed to himself, and then got up with all his might, and ran back as fast as he could. The Germans came to their senses, this guy was not a sanitary soldier at all.

The sound of the GM42 machine gun immediately came to mind, the bullets hit the dirt around him, the dust was flying, and the horse ran fast, and soon he got under the second cannon and finally stopped. On the side, Parks was laughing at him, "Malachi, forget your Ruger, do you want me to help you get it?" Maybe I'll do it better. ”

"Someday!" Malachi was a little unconvinced.

Parks removed the explosives and used the same method, blowing up the barrel of the second cannon. Winters arrived with the rest of the people, and they were together again.

"Sir, I think there's something you can come and see!" Parks shouted at Winters.

Winters looked over and saw that Parks was already standing at a makeshift tunnel command post next to the trench, where there were some German documents, radio and telephone.

"Here are some documents and maps, I know some German, so I can understand some of the stuff on it, and the map shows all the artillery and machine-gun positions on the Cotentan Peninsula." Parks handed Winters a bag of papers.

"That's pretty good." Winters nodded, took the file bag, and flipped through it, "I think those guys at the battalion headquarters should be of some use, very good, Parks!" ”

"Guth, come here!" Winters beckoned to Guth, then handed him the bag of papers, "Go and bring this to the battalion headquarters, get some more ammunition, and bring in some reinforcements." ”

"It's for our benefit, and we're under too much pressure." He said to Parks with some grumbling, "I mean the machine-gun positions that are shooting at us, and these cannons, with which they are slaughtering our people. ”

Parks nodded, then looked ahead: "Lieutenant, we still have two cannons, the third cannon and the last cannon are the most visible, and they are very close to the position of the second cannon we are in now, I think this is good news for us." ”

Winters nodded, he beckoned to the trench next to the first gun, and found the machine gunner, two machine guns, one to shoot at the defenders of the fourth gun to suppress, and one to cover himself to capture the third gun.

"Over to you!" Winters was scared, "When we get the third cannon, let's shoot at the fourth cannon with Ligotte, and knock them down without heading up!" ”

Winters approached Parks and ordered, "Wait until you attack first with grenades, and then I'll take the third cannon under the cover of grenades, and wait for my orders to act." ”

Parks nodded, "Don't worry! ”

Winters gestured to the rest and shouted, "Action!" ”

Parks and a few others immediately began to pull out their grenades.

"One after the other, so that the Germans do not have a chance to shoot in the head!" Parks first threw his grenade over, and with a "boom", exploded in the trench of the third gun, and immediately the machine gun there was silent.

"Lip!" Parks yelled.

Lip threw the grenade out with all his might, and then White and Lenny! One after another, grenades exploded in the trenches of the third cannon, and the Germans were crushed in the trenches, unable to move. After the grenade exploded, he straightened his head and was suppressed by Christenson's machine gun, and he couldn't organize resistance to fire at all.

"Don't die, don't die!" At this time, hands were raised in the trench, and then the Germans shouted loudly in broken English, and the Germans in the trench felt that they had no way out, and they decided to surrender.

The gunfire stopped, and the six German soldiers put their hands behind their heads, hugged them, and stood up obediently, and Winters had rushed in front of them by this time.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a burst of gunfire, and a German soldier fell to the ground, and the other Germans were shocked, not expecting the Americans to kill the prisoners, and they were about to turn around and run in a panic.

"Bang!" There was another gunshot, and the German who was running at the front was shot in the head, and then a shout was heard, in German, and they all understood.

"Whoever runs will be killed, and immediately lie down!" At the critical moment, Parks opened fire and stopped the Germans in German. No German dared to run anymore and obediently crouched in the trenches.

"Goneri, I remind you once again that this is the place to call the shots, and you must do what I command." Winters was obviously annoyed by the accident, and yelled at Gunessey, who had shot and killed the surrendered Germans, this was the second time, and he had to tell this guy to stop doing anything out of the ordinary, "Sergeant, you must understand who you are." ”

"Parks, blow this cannon up!" Winters ignored Goneri and shouted at Parks. Then he climbed to the side to observe the German distribution of the fourth cannon.

"Okay!" Parks bent over and concocted according to the law, blowing up the third cannon. He also heard Goneri next to him muttering in a small voice, "Yes, Quaker!" ”

"Goneri, Lieutenant is just reminding you!" Parks shook his head and said to Goneri.

"But I killed the Germans." Goneri was still a little dissatisfied, "Do you want to yell at me to kill the Germans?" ”

"That's it!" Parks said, "Note that a lieutenant also has the duties of a lieutenant, and he is right. ”

Goneri frowned, "Parks, are you helping him?" ”

"Don't you think the lieutenant is right?" Parks asked rhetorically, "Okay, this is over, don't mention it again." Don't get emotional on the battlefield, or you'll sometimes kill your brothers! I am also saddened by the loss of your brother and want to kill all the Germans, but you must remember that we are paratroopers and we have to do everything we are told! ”

Goneri looked at the silver wing badge on his chest, and finally nodded, "You're right, I'm just venting, I'll apologize to the lieutenant." ”
