Chapter 191: Negligence
The Germans stayed in the trenches, they sent out patrol squads, and then they all hid in the trenches and dozed off. The British and Germans shelled each other during the day, patrolled at night, and each time they were exhausted, and neither wanted to move.
But I didn't expect that the Americans would touch them at this time and carry out a sneak attack on them, which was a completely unprepared battle, and the Germans of a company, except for a platoon in the company headquarters as a reserve force, the others were sleeping in the trenches.
Four German sentries patrolled more than fifty meters in front of the trench on the left and right sides, and Parks quietly lay in the grass by the embankment and gestured to the back: "Liegt, Lip, you two are in charge of the two German sentries on the left." Then he slowly crawled towards the four Germans, behind whom were two platoons of brothers lurking quietly.
Parks' deliberate crunch of grass on the right alarmed the two Germans. One of the Germans came cautiously towards Parks with a gun, he looked down the embankment, but saw nothing, turned back to the other German and shouted, "It's nothing, maybe the wind is making it loud." ”
"You go and see again, don't let the Americans take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack." The German, apparently a sergeant, spoke in a commanding tone. This made the Germans here a little dissatisfied, muttered, and then tentatively walked down the embankment.
The night wind was cooler than the day, and the German [***] man lit a cigarette, took a comfortable puff, and then shouted loudly to this side: "Picos, be careful, tomorrow we will rotate, and I can take a hot shower." This ghost place, ghost weather, it's really unbearable, don't let the Americans take advantage of the loopholes! ”
"Okay, Sergeant Eddell!" The German soldier, Picos, cautiously leaned down the embankment. And Parks was just below the embankment, lurking in the grass, which made the brothers hiding in the ditch pinch a cold sweat.
The sergeant named Edel laughed when he heard Picos' return, and he simply sat down on the ground, and then leaned comfortably against a simple earthen fence on the embankment, and said to himself, "It seems that tonight will soon pass." I wish I could get out of this damn place sooner. ”
A cigarette is gone. He reached into his pocket, pulled out the cigarette case, and looked inside, the cigarette was finished, and he didn't notice. "Damn it!" He cursed, then crumpled the cigarette case, still on the ground, and stood up, intending to ask Picos for a cigarette.
"Picos, damn it, come here! I'm done with my cigarettes. Give me one. He yelled at the embankment, but there was no response, and then he shouted loudly and began to look in this direction.
"Picos? Are you there? He picked up his rifle and walked cautiously towards it, saying in a somewhat confused voice as he went, "Pykos, damn it, don't kid, okay?" ”
The sergeant named Edel was getting closer and closer to the side of the embankment where Parks was lurking. He had cautiously raised his rifle, and his voice trembling a little because of fear: "Picos? Are you there? If I don't say anything, I'll shoot. With that, he pulled the bolt and raised his rifle.
At this time, on the embankment in front of Edel, a man stood up, obviously the German soldier named Picos who had just gone down, and he seemed to be a little unsteady and staggering. His steel helmet was pressed a little low, and it was hard to see his eyes.
"Oh, Picos, you're scaring me!" Sergeant Edel let out a long breath, cocked his rifle, and walked towards Picos, but only after taking two steps, suddenly the Picos in front of him suddenly fell to the ground, and behind him stood a man with his face exposed, and his cold gaze was like a sharp knife.
Edel was startled, and he tried to raise his gun again, but he saw a slight arc of cold light in the air, and then he heard a faint "poof" dull sound. His throat began to tighten, his hands went limp, and his rifle fell to the ground and slid down the embankment. His hands were covered in blood, but he felt out of breath. It can't even make a sound.
There was a soft "poof" sound, and Sergeant Edel clutched his neck tightly with both hands, and fell to the ground. The sound of his body falling alerted the two Germans on the left, who then turned in this direction, ready to come over to see what was going on.
Suddenly, just as they turned, two figures suddenly appeared in the grass behind them, covering the mouths of the two Germans with one hand, and flashing their paratrooper knives with the other hand and smearing them around their necks.
The warm liquid rushed out like bloody arrows, and the two Germans fell limp, twitching on the ground. Obviously, Legot and Lipp saw the time and succeeded.
Parks turned around and gestured behind him, and the brothers in both rows quickly followed, and Parks gave a thumbs up to Lip and Richet, clearly doing a good job. Lipp only smiled slightly, while Ligort looked smug and winked at Parks, clearly satisfied.
"Harry!" Parks lowered his voice and called out to Wales, "We'll outflank the German trenches from both sides and clear them!" As he spoke, he gestured to the platoon leader of the platoon, Heliger, Wales nodded, went over and whispered to Haliger, "Follow me, guys, let's get a meatloaf for the Germans." ”
Halig gave a thumbs up, and then the two platoons split into two sides to outflank the German trenches. The Germans were completely defenseless, and the distance of fifty meters was only a dozen seconds. A German soldier heard the noise, and he got up to look out of the trench to see what was going on, but he saw the muzzle of a black hole pointed at his head.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Parks took the lead in pointing at a German soldier who had been awakened and then wanted to look up at the outside of the trench, the bullet bursting through the air, tearing the German soldier's skull, and then splattering a cloud of blood. Like a log, the German soldier fell, rolled in the trench, and remained silent.
"Fire, fire!" Wales shouted loudly, and the Thomson submachine gun in his hand began to fire fiercely at the Germans in the trenches. Rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and grenades all greeted the Germans in the trenches. At this time, Parks heard the heavy gunfire on the other side of the embankment, and it was clear that Landaman and they had also moved.
The Germans were awakened, they were suddenly struck hard, they lost their direction completely, and they rushed from place to place, trying to get out of the trench, but the trench was dug too deep, and one man was high. They simply didn't have time to crawl out. In the face of the pouring rain of bullets. They let out a wail and a cry of pain.
The sound of gunfire was like fried beans, interspersed with the explosion of grenades, and the Germans had no power to fight back. They were devoured by bullets, their bodies bursting with blood from the bullets, and then let out a howl of despair.
"God!" Li Pu secretly screamed, then waved his hand and said loudly, "Stop shooting, stop shooting." ”
The gunfire finally fell silently. There was nothing left in the entire trench to move. The corpses of the Germans lay strewn in the trenches, and they were killed by their brothers before they even had a chance to surrender. A complete victory.
At this time, Lieutenant Pikkak came over, he looked at the corpses of the Germans in the trench, and then looked at Parks and said in amazement: "God, Lieutenant Parks, there are at least seventy or eighty German corpses here. It was like playing toys, we were really lucky that the Germans were all annihilated by us. ”
"Is anyone hurt?" At this time, the voice of the Welsh lieutenant was heard on the side.
"No, sir!" Sergeant Lipp replied loudly as he scrutinized the Germans in the trenches.
"Luck?" Parks couldn't help but smile, he didn't speak, just said to Wales, "Harry, we set up an ambush in front and wait for reinforcements from the Germans. Lieutenant Pikak, you take your brothers from the second platoon to Sergeant Landaumann's side to reinforce them, and do your best to suppress the Germans who have come from the ferry. ”
"Okay, Lieutenant Parkes!" Pikak nodded, and hurried away with his brothers. On the other side of the embankment, there were gunshots coming from all over the place.
"Harry, is this the road to the German company?" Parks looked down a path ahead.
"Yes, I think the Germans will definitely come for reinforcements." Wales nodded, "We can ambush them on the side of the road and catch them off guard!" ”
"That's exactly what I thought!" Parks smiled slightly, and then said, "They must have a reserve platoon in the company, and we can completely annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Alright, Harry, you take fifteen men to ambush on the left side of the path, and I'll go to the right. Listen to the gunshots attacking! ”
"No problem!" Wales smiled, then said to Gunessey, "All right, man, come with me, take your guys." As he spoke, he slipped into the grass on the left side of the path. Disappear into the darkness.
The shootout that took place on the side of the German artillery position clearly alarmed the German company command, as well as the soldiers of this artillery company, who hurried towards the position.
"God, the Germans are almost two platoons." Parks let out a low cry, apparently ignoring the soldiers of the German artillery battery. He couldn't help but regret letting Pikak take the entire second row of his brothers.
"So, sir, what is your decision?" Legort leaned on Parks' side and couldn't help but ask.
"We have no choice!" Parks whispered.
The Germans marched at a high pace, and they soon approached the Parks their ambush circle. Wales looked at such a large group of Germans, and his heart couldn't help but beat the drums, damn it, he also forgot about the artillery of the Germans. It is clear that these artillerymen are now infantry. They want to attack on their own.
Parks raised his rifle, aimed at a German who was rushing at the front, and fired decisively, "bang", killing him with a single shot. Then countless tongues of fire erupted from the grass on both sides of the path, sweeping towards the German soldiers who had hurried to reinforce them.
The Germans received a sudden blow and fell to more than 30 people, and the rest quickly lay down and fired guns indiscriminately on both sides, but it was clear that the Germans were lying down, and the battle would not end easily. After a brief period of panic, the Germans began to organize a revolt. They shot at each other with their outflanking brothers.
There was a "boom", and not far from Parks' side, a grenade thrown by the Germans exploded, and then someone was heard screaming bitterly.
"I'm hurt! I was blown up by the Germans! ”
