Chapter Seventy-Five: Latent

Company E continued to advance, and along the way, there was a constant exchange of fire with the Germans, but only sporadically. And the exchange of fire between F Company, which was fighting in the vanguard, and the Germans. Along the way, there were some places where there was firefighting, and there was still this smoke, as well as corpses. Both the German and American forces had them, but in the dim light of the fire, they could not be clearly separated. There was no time to stop and bury the brothers who died in battle, and everyone's footsteps seemed heavy and a little uneasy.

"We're just going to leave them here?" Donnatt walked behind Parks and muttered.

Parks glanced back at him and didn't speak, and Private Aubrey Brown, who was next to Donnett, looked at him and said, "Now that we're on a rapid march, how can we stop?" If you stop, you might be the one who will fall here. ”

"But......" Donnatt wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word, and there was a feeling that spread in his heart, making people feel uncomfortable beyond words.

"Alright, Donnat, don't think about it, let's go, move on, and when we have cleaned up the Germans in Carrington, let's help them!" Brown felt a little uncomfortable, and he patted Donnatt on the shoulder.

"Got it! Thank you, Aubrey. "Donnett's gratitude is heartfelt. In the past two days, Brown was the first person willing to speak so gently to him, why didn't he see him as such an amiable person before?

"It's nothing, let's go!" Brown said as he lifted his foot and stepped over the corpse of an American soldier, careful not to step on any part of the corpse.

The team continued on, and occasionally the whispers of the brothers could be heard.

"Oh-" Suddenly there was an exclamation from the front of the group. It was Private Bloy, and then there was a burst of suppressed laughter from the brothers in the back.

"I thought he had caught me!" Bloy blushed a little.

It turned out that at this turn of the truth, a German was leaning against the fence, and he was facing Bloy with a gun, which startled him so much that his face turned green.

"I thought he was ...... Will shoot! Bloi muttered.

At this moment, Private Wayne Sisk, who was behind Bloy, walked over and kicked the German in the belly with a muffled "cluck".

"Oh, I'm sorry, man, I didn't mean to kick you." Sisk grinned, then took the German arm: "But you're dead, you shouldn't feel it, so you shouldn't hear my apology!" ”

"He's a corpse, you can't see it?" Parks walked over to Bloy, gave him a strange look, shook his head, and said, "Alright, guys, let's move on!" ”

A group of people walked past Bloy, and they continued on, and there was indeed darkness ahead, and then in the darkness they walked towards a place where they did not know what the future was. Bloy looked at the German corpse with trepidation, and then walked forward with trepidation.

This was only an episode, and on the road after that, few people spoke, they walked silently, and even if they saw the corpses of the Germans again, few of them went to loot them, as is customary, because it was not allowed on the march.

Company E soon crossed the Duvo River, reached the railway line of the predetermined embankment, and began to build defensive positions.

"An order came from the battalion headquarters to keep our attention to the armored forces of the Germans." Winters walked over with a hunched waist and gave Parks the order, "Get the brothers ready for the bazookas." Defend against the attack of German armored forces. ”

Parks nodded, then whispered, "Tibo, set the bazooka on the embankment and hide it a little." ”

"What?" When Tippo heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Second Lieutenant, you let us set up the bazooka on the embankment?" Are you sure you want to do this? We will be exposed to the Germans. ”

"We'll cover you up! Go, be covert, we have no choice, behind us is the Duvo River, if we can't deal with the armored vehicles of the Germans, we will be driven into the river by them, and we will have to fight with our backs. "We're all up to you, Tibo, don't get off the rails." ”

"Okay!" Tibo was helpless, "I'll kill the Germans' armored vehicles, don't worry." ”

Then he shouted to the side, "Joe, I want you to make sure I have two rockets on standby, you know?" This is a guarantee of knocking out armored vehicles. As soon as I want to use it, give it to me immediately, without delaying for half a second, or we will be killed by the Germans. With that, Tibo crawled up the embankment, and hid himself by the grass beside the embankment.

"Got it!" A somewhat trembling voice replied.

Private Joe Ramirez was Tibo's bombardier. But he was so nervous now that his hand was shaking a little as he was carrying the rocket.

"Okay, can't delay for half a second." Ramirez picked up the rockets, "Well, I'll unplug them first, and I'll make sure I won't delay for half a second." As he spoke, he pulled off the pin of the rocket and crawled towards Tibo.

"Tibo!" Ramirez whispered from behind Tippo.

Tibo nervously looked at the situation on the embankment, noticed the back at all, and was suddenly frightened by Ramirez's voice, looked back, and couldn't help but say stupidly: "Ramirez, can't you make some noise first?" Do you have to scare me like that? ”

"I'm sorry!" Ramirez whispered, "I've got rockets for you." I promise I won't delay you for half a second, and I even pulled the pin out of the rocket. His hands trembled a little, but his tone was a little triumphant.

When Tibo heard this, his hairs immediately stood up, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn, why did you pull out the pin?" "You know, when you pull out the safety pin, a loaded rocket will detonate if it falls from a height of two or three feet. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and it seemed that he was frightened.

"Gotta get it back for me and put it back on." Tibo was a little annoyed, "If we accidentally fall off while loading, we're going to be doomed, you idiot!" ”

"Okay." Ramirez looked a little aggrieved, but he turned around anyway to look for it. Soon he turned around and found the pin of the rocket.

"Put it back on me." Tipper breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll let you unplug them when I need them." ”

When the two were muttering, they suddenly heard a low voice behind them: "Silence." ”

The two were taken aback, and when they looked back, it was Parks, who was holding up his finger to his lips in front of them.

"You two are too loud, you know that in such a quiet night, your voices will travel at least half a mile." Parks nodded at them, then crawled back in.

Everyone remained silent, and they waited for the Germans to launch an attack on Company E under the cover of armored vehicles. But there was no movement on the side of the Germans. It was pitch black over there, and everyone's eyes widened, as if some monsters and beasts that devoured people's lives would rush out of the darkness at any time.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, and Donnett's hands were oozing sweat as he held the gun, and his throat rolled a little, but his saliva was already dry, and his mouth was dry and a little bitter.

"You're nervous!" Brown, who was beside him, glanced at him and whispered.

Donnat nodded, his eyes did not dare to leave the embankment, he was always on guard against the Germans who suddenly killed there, as well as the armored vehicles, his heart was beating much faster, making his breath a little short.

"Don't worry, it's like training as usual!" Brown continued to whisper to him, "I'm luckier than you, when I came back, I caught up with the street fight in Angerville Oprain, it's nothing, relax, take a deep breath, yes, that's what Parks taught us before the attack, needless to say, it really worked." ”

"I see, thank you, Aubrey!" Donnat took a deep breath and whispered to Brown.

Brown nodded, then looked ahead, staring intently at the embankment.

"Do you think the Germans will attack?" Goneri looked at Parks, who was lying on his stomach beside him.

"I don't know!" Parks shook his head.

"So should we just wait?" Goneri asked again.

"We have to do what we are told! Goneri"

"Second Lieutenant, let me lead a squad to the front interview, we can't stay like this all the time, if it is dawn, we will all be exposed to the Germans." Goneri was a little anxious.

Parks looked at him, "I know, sergeant, but you have to make sure that you are just scouting, don't engage the Germans, get out of the battle as soon as possible, and get back to the fortifications." ”

Goneri nodded, "Okay, I know how to do it!" As he spoke, he gestured behind him, and then led his group quietly along the ditch under the embankment, lowered his posture, and felt ahead.

At this time, Winters crawled over, looked at the place where Goneri disappeared in front of him, frowned, and said to Parks in a low voice, "Ensign, what do you want to do?" ”

"I sent Goneri out to investigate, we can't stay like this." Parks whispered.

Winters nodded, and then said to him, "If you have any actions in the future, it's better to talk to me first, understand?" Winters' expression was a little serious.

"Got it, Lieutenant!" Parks knew he was a bit of a self-conscious person this time. After all, it is the entire company that lurks here, not just his platoon.
