Chapter 241: Different Reactions
Major Trischel waited for news from the reserve company, and then he saw the continuous explosions and fires found in the line of Captain Redett's company, which had been Captain Redett's company, and half of the sky was red. It has to be said that the German artillery fire was very fierce, and they almost threw shells on the defensive line without counting the shells.
A smile tugged at the corner of Trischel's mouth, but at the same time he felt sorry for Captain Redett and his two platoons. But this is war, and it is estimated that the infiltrated US troops will not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated, and the chances of surviving under such a fierce artillery fire are definitely not high, not to mention that the reserve company will immediately launch an attack on the defensive line.
The fierce shelling of the German positions made the earth tremble. The flames from the sky reflected the entire German defensive line, and such a spectacular sight stunned all the people on the E-Company defensive line. They knew that Captain Parks had gone on patrol with a platoon tonight, and that the German shelling was clearly aimed at the patrol's brothers.
"Oh God!" The Welsh lieutenant watched in amazement at the heavy shelling on the side of the German line and couldn't help but sigh, "God, God, how is Lacey now?" ”
"Stroh!" Wales shouted loudly, he looked a little angry, "Contact Captain Parkes' patrol at once, I want to be the first to hear from them!" As he spoke, he suddenly added, "Contact the battalion headquarters and tell Camp Commander Winters everything that happened." After saying this, he climbed out of the bunker and sat down on a crossbar outside the bunker, the trunk of a large tree that had been broken by German shells.
Captain Winters and Captain Nickerson hurried in. He ran, towards the Welsh lieutenant's cover, Captain Nixon following closely behind him. Winters looked very serious, and Captain Nickerson looked worried. They saw the Welsh lieutenant sitting dumbly in front of the bunker.
"Harry, how's it going?" Although Winters received the news, he still wanted to ask for clarification.
The Welsh lieutenant shook his head, looked at Captain Winters and said, "I don't know, what the hell is going on with them, Strour can't contact him, their radios are silent, we can only wait, may God bless them!" ”
Captain Winters frowned, then opened his mouth, but still said: "Why did Lacey personally lead the patrol?" ”
"The morale of the brothers is low, he says he wants to change the situation, and Lacey says that he is the only reliable person, it is a difficult patrol and the brothers must be guaranteed to be foolproof!" The Welsh lieutenant shrugged his shoulders helplessly, spread his hands and said, "You know, when he makes a decision, it is difficult to change, especially some more dangerous tasks, he always wants to do it alone!" ”
Captain Winters didn't speak, his face was solemn, he knew that the Germans on the opposite side might have two companies and the defense line of Company E facing each other, or even more, while Parks led only one platoon of people, although many of the brothers in this platoon were veterans of a hundred battles, but they really had to fight against so many German troops, I was afraid that it would be more than lucky!
"Dick, do you need to exclude the patrol?" Nickerson looked ahead and muttered.
"No need!" Captain Winters shook his head sadly, the German artillery bombarded his line fiercely, then there was only one reason, Parks successfully captured their line, but the Germans in turn attacked them. It would be in vain to exclude patrols. This won't save Parks, and it will bury the patrolmen who are excluded again.
"God bless them!" Winters just whispered, to be honest, he very much wanted to personally lead the patrol to rescue Parks and them, but as a battalion commander, a commander, he had to make the most rational decision.
It wasn't just Captain Winters who was in a heavy mood, but the other brothers of the company felt the atmosphere solemn, and they always felt like something was blocking their chests. The bombardment of the German army made their hearts despair.
"God, if Captain Parks dies in battle, who will replace him as company commander?" Pikak was concerned about the matter, and he complained to his deputy, Lieutenant Welfare, "I don't want to be in the hands of an incompetent officer, but I hope he'll be an experienced fellow, and it's better to be promoted directly from Company E." Lieutenant Welfare, can I suggest this to Captain Winters? ”
Lieutenant Foley gave him a look of impatience and nodded, "Lieutenant Pikak, if you want to make this point to Captain Winters, I suggest that you do not do it now." Since we have not yet determined that Captain Parks is dead, what we need to do is eliminate the scouts, get accurate information, and then assess the impact of the entire incident on Company E and the entire defensive line! ”
"Okay!" Lieutenant Pikak shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter, "Maybe it will be needed soon!" He was referring to the suggestion he had just made.
Lieutenant Foley decided not to talk to him anymore, and he said to Lieutenant Pikak: "Okay, I'll go and make an inspection, maybe the brothers will have some unstable emotions, I have to go and see!" With that, he climbed out of cover, without looking at Pikak, and walked straight towards his brothers in the defensive line. Only Lieutenant Pikak was left muttering something discontentedly in the bunker.
Muk and Pankara curled up in the bunker, they felt their bodies tremble a little after seeing the German bombardment, and then returned to the bunker, Muk said to Pankala, "Are you cold?" ”
Pankara nodded and said, "Yes, my whole body is shaking, TMD, this damn weather, when is it the head." God, I don't want to die here like this, it's worse than being shot alive by the Germans! ”
"Me too!" Mook felt his teeth rattle, and he folded his hands on his shoulders, and then sat in the bunker in a daze, neither of them speaking for a while.
"You say, the captain will come back alive?" Pankara's voice was not so shaky, and he asked Mook a question, which was actually what Mook wanted to ask him. But both of them knew that they couldn't know the end.
"Perhaps!" Mook hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Captain Parks is able to surprise every time, maybe this time it should be- there should be no problem!" ”
Pankara nodded, silent.
At this time, suddenly there was a more violent explosion, the fire was more violent than the German bombardment just now, and the ground on the entire defense line trembled violently, as if an earthquake had happened. Suddenly, the rear of the German line burst into flames, and the entire German position was lit red.
The sound of the explosion shook the entire sky like a landslide and the earth cracked. Then one after another such explosions reflected the entire sky as if it were day.
"What's going on?" Captain Winters suddenly stared ahead, the tremor of the earth almost making him unsteady. He grabbed Captain Nickerson beside him and screamed loudly.
"I don't know!" Nickerson also looked at the flames in front of him in surprise, at a loss.
"It's the rear of the Germans, behind their lines!" Wales suddenly shouted, pointing to the front and shouting loudly, "That's the rear of the German army, if the judgment is correct, it should be the artillery position of the German army." God, what's going on there? He was stunned and speechless when he held his head, and a strong feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Lacey is alive!" Winters said the feeling in Wales's heart, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then laughed loudly at Nexon and Wales, "God, he's still alive, he can still survive, if you guess correctly, it should be Lacey's masterpiece, god, god, how did he do it!" He led this platoon to win people! Winters guessed correctly, this was Parkes' masterpiece, and this masterpiece directly stunned Major Tryscher, who was cautiously guarding against the Americans on the defensive line.
The explosion, the violent explosion, shook the people on their entire defensive line, and he was held by the officers around him so that he did not fall. Then he suddenly realized that it was an explosion from the artillery position in his rear, and judging from the intensity of the explosion, it must have exploded at the ammunition base of the artillery position, and the only explanation was that the Americans occupied it and detonated all the shells in stock.
Major Trischl suddenly clutched his chest helplessly, his eyes darkened for a while, and the officers around him were watching him, waiting for his next order.
"Pursue with all your might, the Americans have infiltrated it, let each company draw two platoons, and we must annihilate all the Americans in the rear!" This is the order of Major Trescher, and there is no problem with this order, after all, he still does not know how strong the American army really is and how many people have infiltrated it.
Captain Parks led his brothers in three trucks, the rest of which had been blown up, and sped towards the German lines, which they bypassed, even if they went further, to avoid the German counterattack. This result was also something that the Germans did not expect, and they did not expect that the American troops would retreat in trucks. They have been on the lookout for possible traces of U.S. troops along the way, including footprints and so on.
Seeing that he was about to rush through the German line, Parks smiled at Lutz: "Contact the battalion headquarters and the company headquarters immediately, we went home, and told them that we are going home in a German truck!" And there are Christmas gifts! ”
"Okay, boss!" Luz laughed, he turned on the walkie-talkie, and then called the company headquarters, and then the voice of the Welsh lieutenant came from inside, his voice was so loud that he almost roared: "Damn it, Lacey, where are you?" If you don't come back, I'll kill you!" He didn't notice the tone of his words, but his loud voice was heard by the brothers in the whole truck, who laughed and turned their eyes to Parks!
