Chapter Eighty-Four: Blocking the Tank

Parks' loud shout aroused the minds of all the brothers of Company E, who began to concentrate highly and cautiously advance in a straggler formation.

"Christenson, with Ramirez, bazooka on standby, we are near the railway line, keep an eye on the tanks of the Germans at all times." Parks commanded loudly, and then directed the platoon to outflank from the left and right.

"Enemy tank!" Boyle, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted, and he saw the turret of the tank peeking out from behind the fence.

The machine guns on the "Da Da Da" tank were the first to fire. Everyone lay down, and they didn't dare to move again.

"Hidden, hidden!" Parks shouted anxiously as he rushed to the front, running as he directed his soldiers to take cover in the fence on either side.

"I've been shot!" A voice shouted.

Parks looked to be Boyle, who had been shot in the thigh from a machine gun on top of the tank. Fell to the ground and rolled over and screamed.

"Oops!" Parks flew in and ran towards Boyle. Then he grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the fence, and as soon as he reached the fence, he shouted loudly: "Eugene, come here, take care of him." ”

"I'm sorry, sir!" Boyle wanted to apologize, and he felt that he had caused Parks trouble.

But Parks didn't bother to pay attention to him, he was shouting loudly, "Christenson, come here." Bazooka, go kill that tank, hurry! Then he said to Gordon: "Machine guns, cover them." ”

At this time, the second and third rows also rushed over, hiding behind the fence, and Winters saw that the first row was using bazookas, and he hurriedly asked the bazooka players in the second and third rows to prepare.

"Da Da Da!" Gordon found a mound of cover, then mounted a machine gun on it and fired at the tank, quickly attracting the tank's idea.

A burst of machine-gun bullets hit the mound, splashing up dirt and making Gordon quickly lie down. He felt as if the German machine-gun bullets were raining down on the mound, so that he did not dare to raise his head at all.

"Damn, I can't fight back at all!" Gordon cursed loudly.

The Germans successfully suppressed Company E's fire with tanks, and then they tried to break through the fence, intending to use their steel bodies to sweep through Company E, which was hiding behind the fence.

"Please, Ramirez, hurry up, the tanks are coming, are the rockets ready?" Christensen was standing in front of the side of the barrier that the tank had to pass through, he was holding the bazooka, and he was very panicked, if the tank succeeded in crossing the barrier, then he and Ramirez would be very good targets.

"That's it! All right! Ramirez exclaimed.

At this time, the tank just protruded from behind the fence. With a "whoosh", the rocket flew out, and then an explosion was heard. Christenson and Ramirez had already run to the side and hid.

"Damn, it didn't hit!" Parks couldn't help but complain loudly when he saw that the German tanks were still driving over, and there was no impact in the slightest. He rushed over, pulled Ramirez away, and loaded Christen himself.

"I'm sorry! Sir! Ramirez wanted to apologize, and this is when the tank raised its head as it crossed the fence, which was the best time to attack.

"Quick, quick, quick!" Christenson shouted. I heard Parks shouting in my ear.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him, this shit!" Christensen pulled the trigger again, and the rocket, with a puff of smoke, flew towards the base of the tank, and then there was a loud explosion.

After a "boom-" sound, the tank seemed to sneeze, and then its front part plunged into the fence and could not move. It hit the nail on the head.

Several Germans screamed and tried to climb out of the tank cabin, but were shot and killed by the waiting brothers. At this time, another tank tried to cross the fence and was killed by the bazooka men of the second and third platoons. Wales took the lead, rushing forward, climbing onto a tank, lifting the roof and throwing a grenade inside.

The dull sound of explosions was mixed with screams. The Germans inside could not survive.

The last German tank, seeing that the situation was not good, turned around and fled.

"Finally got rid of the garbage." Christon let out a long sigh, "Second Lieutenant, next time I'm in such a dangerous situation. Lo and behold, the whole platoon, only me and Ramirez came out of the front of the tank. ”

"Okay, next time I'll let you appear behind the German tanks and take them out!" Parks smiled, then walked over to Doctor Law, who was bandaging Boyle.

"How is he?" Parks said this to Doctor Luo.

"It's more troublesome, the shrapnel is left in the thigh, and I have to have surgery." Doctor Luo looked at Boyle worriedly, "I suggest sending him to Utah Beach, and then returning to the UK by the way, where the medical conditions are better, and he will recover, after all, he has not hurt his bones yet, and there will be no sequelae." I can only do some urgent treatment for him now. ”

"Well, Boyle, you can go back to England now!" Parks smiled at him, "We're going to miss you." ”

Boyle looked at his thigh, and then said to Parks: "Sir, my injuries are not serious, I don't want to go to England, I still believe in our wartime treatment, isn't it just a piece of shrapnel?" No big deal. ”

Parks shook his head, it wasn't negotiable, he had to respect the doctor's opinion.

"I don't want to leave my brothers like this." Boyle was a little anxious, "Parks, our trip to Europe hasn't started yet, and I'm just going back." He looked depressed.

"Well, if you're recovered, and we haven't entered Germany yet, then come back!" Parks motioned for Boyle to be placed on a stretcher, then slapped his hand.

Despite Boyle's reluctance, he was sent away. Watching the stretcher gradually disappear from sight, Parks sighed unconsciously, the current brothers, after a series of battles, have established a very strong relationship. They would rather face the dangerous Germans together than spend their time in the hospital.

"Parks!" Not far away, Winters beckoned to him.

Parks walked over, then looked at Winters, who was clearly on a mission. They had reached their destination, and they were already in a standoff with the Germans.

"We have to build fortifications, behind the fence. There was a fence in front of us, which was a barrier for the Germans, and now I was separated from them by two barriers, and told my brothers, dig the foxholes, repair the fortifications, and we have to come face to face with the Germans. Winters gave the order briefly.

Company E began to build fortifications behind the fence. Everyone knew that this was a measure to save their lives, but they all implemented it meticulously and conscientiously. But there was one thing that was very annoying, that is, behind the fence opposite, the Germans hid behind the fortifications that had already been dug and harassed E Company, and as long as the brothers of E Company moved a little more behind the fence, they would be disturbed by German fire.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and then a branch fell from the top of Bloy's head and smashed into his boot, startling him, and then he lay on the ground, nervously looking at the fence, but he couldn't see anything.

"Hey, Bloy, what are you doing?" Paikanti watched and smiled, he was using a shovel, trying to shovel a ditch, "The Germans are still far away, they can't see you, as long as you don't get out of the fence." ”

Bloy scrambled to his feet, then hid behind the fence and began digging foxholes. He was a little nervous now, it was his own feeling, and even the slightest movement was enough for him to be frightened. He was afraid. This fear began to creep in his heart from the day he died, so much so that he even went blind briefly during the battle.

"Hey, Bloy!" He was digging the foxhole, and it was deep enough to bury his head in it, revealing only one pair of eyes. After talking, he heard someone calling him.

"Ensign." He looked up and saw Parks' face. He looked puzzled, not knowing what Parks was looking for him, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"No, it's fine!" Parks nodded at him, "Don't be nervous, relax!" That's it! I want to tell you. With that, Parks walked away. He kept cheering up his brothers around him.

"Hey, Parks!" At this moment, Malachi beckoned to him.

Parks bent over and whispered, "What's the matter?" Malarkey. ”

"I heard that the people in the command have released the news that we can end the battle before Christmas?" Malaki was still concerned about this, and that was the kind of optimism that Parks feared.

"Perhaps, hopefully the fighting will be over before Christmas. But we still have to prevent the Germans from coming to their senses! Parks shook his head, "They're aware that they're going to keep putting obstacles in our way and increasing our troops. ”

"You're not optimistic about their estimates?" Malaki looked at Parks in surprise, "Maybe you've heard something?" ”

"Nothing, it's just my own estimate!" Parks patted him on the shoulder, "Now we shouldn't be discussing where to spend Christmas. We also have the Germans in front of us, and they are going to attack us. Be careful! ”

Malachi nodded a little unwillingly. It was clear that he was desperate to end the war and go home. He was more concerned about when the war would end than when he was training in the United States and England, when he was looking forward to the war and fearing it.

"Our attack is 5:30 a.m." Winters looked at his watch, then ordered the time for the battle to the three platoons, "Looks like we're going to have to spend the night here today." ”

At this time, F Company on the right flank and D Company on the left flank also entered their respective positions and began to build fortifications.
