When the attack was launched, the German patrols were completely defenseless, although they had a squad of people, but it was a completely one-sided raid, Spierre arranged it very reasonably, approved the target, everyone had their own fixed target, decisive when attacking, brave and agile when pursuing, so that when Cooper saw the remaining two German troops fleeing, when he was still hesitating, Lieutenant Spierre had already jumped out, and a shuttle of bullets swept to the German army behind, and then suddenly caught up with the one in front, The butt of the rifle smashed into the steel helmet of the German soldier, knocking the German soldier to the ground on the spot.

"Drag this guy back!" Spiel shouted at Cooper, who rummaged over the German soldier and had nothing of value, and then walked over to the other killed Germans and rummaged through their pockets. It was the practice of the battlefield to loot every useful item of the German army, whether it was a prisoner or a corpse.

"Oh my God!" Cooper screamed to himself, and when he walked in front of the stunned German, he found that the German steel helmets had smashed a small hole, and he didn't know what had happened to his head. No wonder he was stunned with a straight butt.

Seeing that Cooper was a little struggling, Plesa said to Pace: "Go and help him, wake up that German, why does he still support this German?" It's better to just shoot him! We'll save you a lot of trouble! ”

"Hehe, I'll do it!" Hubler, who was rummaging through the pockets of the Germans, suddenly became interested, then he walked to the head of the German, put his hand to the side of his trousers, pulled the zipper down with a "bang", took out the water bird under his crotch, aimed it at the German company, and sprinkled urine on the German soldier's face under the stunned gaze of Cooper and Pace. Then he shook his pants and smiled: "Learn a little, rookies!" This is the best way to decant alcohol! He swaggered away.

But it turned out to be very effective, and the pungent smell of urine and something in it could be reflected in the brain, and the German woke up, groaning in pain, and slowly got up, half-sitting on the ground. Despite the splitting headache, he was able to distinguish the form, and now he was captured. So he obediently raised his hands.

"I'm surprised, why didn't Lieutenant Spierre kill this German?" Cooper's suspicion came from the rumors in the company, and it was clear that he couldn't understand why a man who loved to kill prisoners had let one go, so he quietly and carefully asked Pace who was with him for confirmation.

Pace looked at Lieutenant Spear, who was walking in the front, and then lowered his voice: "It's better not to ask me about this kind of thing!" I don't want any gossip to reach his ears. Cooper, I advise you to dispel your curiosity as well, it will kill you! ”

Cooper shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, but he felt something strange about what Spierr was talking to him, and what he was doing now, as if it had no connection with the rumored image of the ruthless and iron-blooded person. Either way, the image of Lieutenant Spierre always charging ahead of his brothers gives some comfort to his heart.

Although it was only a small encounter, it was impossible to completely subvert the image of Lieutenant Speyer, but everyone was taken aback when the party prisoners were taken to the company headquarters, and Cooper's words of admiration for Spiel were circulated among the brothers in the third row. While some of the images are entrenched, at least there are some fluctuations now.

"Guys, see what I found?" Hubler was always the one who liked to show off his booty, and he cut off the fingers from the corpses of the Germans, and then removed their rings, which made Pace sick for a while, "The golden ring, what a piercing eye!" "Hubl sat in the trench, squinting and shaking in front of his brothers at the rays of the sun.

"What's the big deal about this!" Although many people in the third row were a little jealous of Hubrough's show-off, there was always a harmonious voice to break the triumphant and beautiful anger. A voice came from behind Hubler.

It was Private Hanknu in the first platoon, and as he was passing by, he heard Hubler showing off again, and couldn't help but shake his head and say, "It's nothing, you were still discovered by the Germans." Any idea what we did? We secretly crossed the Le Rhine, penetrated deep into German territory, and rescued more than 100 Brits, which was a great feat! ”

Although Hubler was a little dissatisfied, he really had nothing to say, his encounter this time was really nothing compared to the Pegasus operation they executed.

But the words reached Parks' ears, which made him a little angry. Obviously, the defensive line that E Company had to take over was too long, and it was easy for German scouts to infiltrate after dark because it was more than 100 meters apart to set up a sentry post.

"I've got to teach that blind optimistic kid a lesson." Parks sulked at Wales, "Aren't the Germans magically doing this to us?" They infiltrated two companies, but we didn't fire a single shot until they reached the embankment. So what's the big deal about that? This kind of emotion really can't spread in the company! ”

"But we can't be overly suppressed! Les! Wales shook his head, "There's no way around it." Fortunately, now both we and the Germans seem to have accepted such strange trench warfare, their lines are very weak, our lines are very weak, the purpose of our reconnaissance is not to break through, but to find out whether the other side has increased troops, if not, we have to accept such a static situation. ”

Parks nodded, and sighed helplessly, "I hope there will be an end to this." ”

Parks also felt helpless about such a war, not that he didn't want to break through, but the strength was indeed too limited, and the battle line was long, so he was simply powerless. And now that we have entered the rainy season, from time to time there will be heavy rain downpours or light rain, which makes people moldy at the same time, but also makes the psychology begin to moldy, and finally through a few victories, the positive psychological advantage that has been established has also been lowered with the long defensive front and time, as well as the rainy season.

The endless rain was the most annoying thing for the soldiers in the trenches, and it was also the most helpless thing to curse. Everyone was curled up in the trenches, and they did not dare to go to the pits to hide from the rain, not even for a moment. No one dared to guarantee that the Germans would take advantage of the rain to come and attack, because this happened in the G Company of the 506th Regiment, except for a few people, many people hid in the pits, and as a result, they approached two BanderGerman troops, who severely damaged G Company in the rain, although they were eventually expelled, but G Company died more than a dozen people, more than a squad, which is really difficult to accept.

"So we have to stare ahead of us on this damn rainy day, foggy and can't see anything clearly?" Maraki was chewing gum in his mouth, and the rain hit his raincoat with a "popping" sound, but he still had to look ahead. His rifle rested above the trench, and his cheeks puffed out!

Toy's shoes were all wet, and he took them off, and then walked barefoot in both hands, slipping and struggling on the dirt floor of the trench, and he shouted at Guaery, "I'll have to hide in the pothole, you help me look ahead." Damn, this damn weather, I can't get along with it! ”

He was right, and when he had gone a short distance, he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, causing Malaki to laugh next to him: "Oh, Toy, this is the only thing I find interesting on a rainy day!" ”

Toy struggled to get up, but the mud was so slippery that he slid on his palms as he lifted his palms, and he fell to the ground again.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Toy suddenly slapped the ground with his boots in a frenzy, cursing in his mouth, and then looked up like a tired and half-exhausted head, looked ahead, wiped the rain with his hands, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn!" ”。 Then he raised his upper body with the support of his hands, and shouted loudly to the whole trench: "Whoever kills me with kindness!" Then he opened his mouth again, unable to say anything, and the rain drenched his hair, blurring his vision.

Malachi did not have the end of the talk. Actually, he is not much better than Toy. He shuddered. I couldn't help but use my arms to protect my body, and looked at Toy, who didn't stretch out his hand to pull him, and didn't make any movement myself. Obviously, in such weather, everyone has become numb to their minds.

Toy got up again, and after venting, he seemed to feel much more relaxed, he carried his two boots, and then went into the pit, where there were several GIs lying in the middle of the hole, and Bloy was roasting the fire, and he cut the beef with a bayonet, and then put it on the rack for barbecue. The beef had been shot by Donnat while on patrol the day before, and they worked together to get the cow back.

"Damn it!" Toy couldn't help but curse.

"Want a piece?" Bloy looked at Toy and said, "Do it yourself, there's still a whole piece of beef over there, but it's not much, if you don't hurry up, I'm sure it will end up in other people's stomachs after a while." Want salt? As he spoke, he tossed a small bottle towards Toy.

"You're going to enjoy it!" Toy was a little moved, and then he took off his raincoat, and as he learned from Bloy, he cut a piece of beef with a bayonet, forked it, and roasted it on the fire. At the same time, he will also dry his clothes. It's a good idea.

But there are few people like them, even if they return to the pothole, they just adjust their nerves, let themselves relax, and then continue to endure and suffer in the rain!

"Are we going to spend Christmas in this hellish place?" "I don't understand why we are the only ones who can defend this front, we stay here longer than the British, we always do the dirtiest work, do the most tiring things, and then eat the stinking supplies of the British, smoke their inferior cigarettes, God, their hearts are so bad!" ”

"Stop complaining, Toy!" Lenny from the pit walked over, he crouched next to the fire, shook his head at Toy and smiled, "At least we are alive, even if we live in a place like hell, it is better than going to hell!" ”

Toy fanned his hand and sniffed the roast beef with his nose, then nodded, "You're right." Lanny, I think this should be the worst hell I've ever seen! ”

The brothers of Company E have experienced what the soldiers of other companies have experienced, and it is obvious that there are some people who go crazy because they can't stand such an environment, but Company E has never had such a phenomenon, and they always have hope.

"Who wants coffee?" Two people in the trench walked through the rain-soaked trench, and the voice of the bull Landauman could be heard, "Sergeant Major Tybert made some coffee, who wants it?" ”

"Actually, it tastes pretty good!" It was Tybert's own voice.

Tybert walked in the trench with a large vat in his hand, Landauman ahead of him, and then he saw Miller. Miller sat on the dirt floor, his eyes glazed and somewhat glazed. Dumbfounded, he didn't move.

"Hey, Miller!" Tybert screamed.

Miller didn't move, he seemed to lose his reactions. Landowan turned around and saw it, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "God, this kid can't be hanging!" He crouched down and pushed Miller, who suddenly watched as Tybert and Landauman crouched in front of him, as if he had been awakened from his sleep.

"God, Sergeant Major? Monitor? Miller looked at them in surprise, "Are you crazy?" Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with you? ”

"Oh, shit!" Landowman scolded in a low voice, then slapped Miller's helmet, lifted her up by the collar, and said angrily: "Okay, Miller, you are crazy like this, do you know why you can't sit on the ground on a rainy day?" Because the rain will make your balls sore, then rot and stink. It's going to smoke the brothers, you're doing the Germans a favor! ”

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Miller hurriedly straightened up, but as soon as he joined his legs, he felt a spasm in his balls, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and then looked at Landauman pitifully, "I think, I'm afraid you're right!" ”

Tybert shook his head, handed the jar over, and said, "Take it, drink a little, you will feel better." ”

"Thank you, Sergeant Major!" Miller nodded gratefully, and then took a big gulp in his mouth!

"You're really welcome!" Landowman couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, then patted Miller on the shoulder and said, "If you really can't stand it anymore, then go to the pit for a while, it will be good for you, there is a fire there, by the way, bake your balls a little dry, so that you will be better off and not let him rot!" ”

"Thanks, squad leader, it's funny!" Miller couldn't help but grin and squeeze a smile out of Landowman.

"Rest well, boy!" Landowman slapped his arm, and continued shouting in the tunnel with Tybert. Their approach was clearly working for the brothers of Company E. Even a little bit of cold coffee will make people feel their presence, awaken that little creep in the stomach, and make you feel that you are still alive.

Parks stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside, in fact, he couldn't see anything, it was covered with rain outside, foggy, and it seemed that the rain had no end and no possibility of stopping.

"If it goes on like this, I think our people won't be able to hold on!" Wales took a cup of coffee and then stood next to Parks, also looking out the window. He couldn't help but worry about his brothers outside the trench. This damn rainy season, I don't know how many people's wills have been destroyed, and people have become broken.

"Do we need to report the situation to the battalion headquarters?" Parks pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a deep breath, puffing out a curling puff of smoke, and to be honest, he seemed to have lost patience with the weather. There is no need to talk about the brothers who stayed in the trenches.

"I'm sure Dick must have thought of it too!" Wales shook his head.

"But there's nothing we can do!" Parks turned his head, then walked over to the table and sat down, "We don't even have the power to change all of this, even the slightest. The will of the brothers will not be crushed by the attack of the Germans, but only by such ghostly weather. What a tragedy for us! ”

"It's a pity that we're all actors!" Wales nodded, but there was a helpless tone, to be honest, he felt like he was about to get moldy. It's been raining for almost four days, and it stops occasionally, but then more rain falls. The only good news was that after one sneak attack by the Germans, there was no more sneak attack.

After all, the Germans could not stand such weather either. Perhaps the Germans had more difficulty in enduring such ghost weather than the Americans. They had always had problems with their supplies, and since the Allied landings in Normandy, their food supplies have been simple and poor!

By the time the rain had fallen on the sixth day, in the afternoon, it had cleared up. This is huge good news. The moment the sun peeked out of the clouds, cheers rang out in the trenches. There were even a number of people who were stripped naked and ran naked in the still slippery trenches. It's nothing more than venting.

"Hey, Miller, take your clothes off too! It's important to take your balls out and dry them, or you'll never want to keep yours! Malach had actually heard Miller and Landaman talking that day, so he ran to Miller's side naked-striped and began to tear his clothes. Despite Miller's reluctance, he was soon naked.

"Oh God, that thing of yours is swollen from the rain!" Malaki couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the biggest thing I've ever seen, no wonder it's moldy!" ”

"Damn," Miller couldn't help but cover the key part with his hands.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers appeared from behind their lines, they looked very well dressed and neat, and one of them shouted at Malaqi even from a distance: "Hey, primitives, what are you doing?" Oh God, you are American soldiers. ”

Someone else shouted, "Hey, guys, come here, what are these people doing?" Stripped naked, want to participate in a Las Vegas beauty pageant? God, this is the first time I've seen so many naked men, more than in a bathhouse! ”

"Oh, hey, that Yankee thing isn't good, they should go to live in Canada, our Canadian men are so talented and enviable!" A group of people kept laughing and approaching them!

Malaki didn't cover his body with clothes, then climbed out of the trench, looked at the group of people, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Hey, guys, you crossed the line, are you Canadians?" ”

"Yes, your rank, please?" At this time, a lieutenant of the Canadian Army walked over, and then said to Marachi, "We were ordered to replace you, and our company commander went to your company headquarters, are you the one who can call the shots here?" ”

"No, it's not, I'm a sergeant!" Malaki turned to the trench and shouted, "Miller, go and call Lieutenant Hellig and Lieutenant Spierre, the Canadians are going to take over our line." We're getting out of this damn place! ”

"Yes, sir!" As soon as Miller turned around, he was about to run towards the hole.

"Oh God!" Malaki yelled at Miller, "Go get dressed and go again, damn it, don't be naked, are you like Lieutenant Halig shoving butter into your asshole?" ”

Everyone quietly looked at the Canadian soldiers, as if in a dream. Obviously, the appearance of this group of GIs means that they can leave this damn place.

"I'm so glad you picked a good weather to take over this place!" Malaki shrugged his shoulders, "Before this, we had spent countless rainy days!" ”

"We were supposed to come two days ago to change guards, but you know, it's raining too much. It will affect the change of guards. So we decided to wait until the rain stopped, and now it seems that we made the right decision! Isn't it? The lieutenant of the Canadian Army looked a little gloating, and he looked at Malaqi's [***] with some amusement, "Sgt., don't you think you will look more like an American gentleman when you put on your clothes?" We can't talk about changing guards like this to your [***]! ”

"Well, as you wish!" Malaki shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then jumped into the trench and shouted at his brothers, "Guys, get dressed, we're going to get out of this hellish place and let our brothers in Canada take over!" ”

The change of guard went smoothly! When the brothers of Company E left, it was the stunned eyes of the Canadian soldiers, and one soldier couldn't help but muttered to a non-commissioned officer next to him, "God, is this a group of refugees?" I heard that this is the most powerful company in the U.S. military, and it is the company led by the legendary Parks, so it can't be like this? ”

"Why not? Anyone who stays in such weather and trenches for more than two months will be like this, and they are not like the people of other companies, and there are still people who go crazy, obviously much stronger than the people of the other lines of defense! The non-commissioned officer muttered to the backs of the brothers of the E-Company who had withdrawn.

The brothers of Company E did not want to stay here for a moment, and the regimental headquarters seemed to be particularly aware of public opinion, so they let the brothers then board the car and leave the line of defense that they had been defending for more than two months.
