Chapter 269: The Day of Captain Parkes' Absence

At 4 p.m. on the second day when Captain Parks stayed at the ambulance station, a company of German infantry, under the cover of six tanks, launched a counterattack on the village of Foy, which was defended by the third battalion. But soon they were repulsed. Immediately, the Germans used 4 tanks and a battalion of infantry to increase the offensive on the village of Foy.

This time the battle was fierce, and Company E, who was on guard duty on the south side of the village, watched as the village of Foy burst into flames, with explosions and gunfire dense into the air. Some people with sensitive ears even said they heard someone screaming. In fact, even if they could hear the sound of gunfire from their position, the screams would never be heard. When people are nervous, they have a lot of hallucinations.

Kaber looked at the town of Foy in front of him with demented eyes, many people were paying attention to the battle situation in Foy, and it was obvious that if the third battalion could not hold on, then Company E would have to get the task of attacking Foy Town again. But now the situation is much more complicated than the last attack on Foy. Last time, the Germans were just trying to stall for time, but this time they were going to hold on. I don't know how many times the difficulty is greater. All prayed in their hearts for the three camps.

"God, I don't want to attack that place anymore." Kaber muttered, "God knows if I would be shot by the Germans if there was a next time"

"I agree with you, Kaber," Hubler said as he stared at Foy and walked over to Kaber's side, "and now that the boss is still at the Bastone ambulance station, I don't want to attack Foy while the boss is away." God, I really can't imagine what it would be like to have an e-company without a leader, especially if it was such a tough battle."

The people who had this kind of mood were not only two people, Karber and Huberle, but almost the entire soldiers of E Company, who were thinking about this issue when they saw that the third battalion was about to retreat. They may well be back on the battlefield now, but who will be able to lead the brothers of Company E to victory at a fraction of the cost?

Deputy Company Commander Welsh Lieutenant? This was quickly ruled out.

"I know the Welsh lieutenant is a good man, but that's all," said Guannery, sitting around with his brothers, "I like him, but that doesn't mean I want him to lead us to Foy." ”

"Captain Spierre? I like Captain Spierre," Lipp coughed dryly, "Guys, you saw Captain Spierre during the previous attack on Foy, I can't imagine him passing through the German ranks like that, and then making contact with Company I on the other side, and he would be able to come back safely"

"Alright then, you charge after Captain Spear, and hopefully he won't shoot you in the back. You know? He once shot a sergeant major who was too drunk to carry out his orders, Lip, this is your current position," Hefflang suddenly interjected, "At Company D, you know? ”

"That's a legend, I don't believe it," Malaki shook his head, "but he shot a dozen prisoners of war, I know it." That's why I don't want to follow someone like that."

"I've seen him fight at Brekut Manor, god, I just don't care if bullets are shooting at him. Several of the men of the D Company who were following him were shot, and he took shit luck, did not get beaten, and allowed him to capture the last cannon. White nodded, "So even if you follow him, you have to be careful, I don't want to be his victim."

"Alright, well, folks, we're going to have to follow a company commander, now Welsh lieutenant, and that's probably the best option. In fact, the officers in our company are quite good, at least better than the officers in F Company. They had a foxhole Captain Dyck there. It is said that the brothers of F Company often could not find this guy, and he always hid in foxholes. Come to think of it, we're lucky enough" At this time, Sergeant Major Tybert came over and decided to end such a conversation, after all, it still has a huge impact on morale.

"Well, we're always used to getting around Captain Parks and going for victory, but guys, have you ever thought that Captain Parks will leave us one day. He couldn't just be a company commander forever. How can a person like him, who has achieved many medals and created countless miracles, be a company commander all the time? When Lip saw Tybert coming, he stood up, clapped his hands, and said to his brothers, "Think about it, we always have this day, maybe today is the latest experience we have since left Captain Parkes, good luck to you" as he left the crowd.

But Lip's words made everyone begin to ponder. Yes, one day Captain Parks will leave Company E. You can't help but let Captain Parks not be promoted, right? It doesn't make sense.

"I wish we could end this damn war soon," Heflang said smutteringly, crumpling his hand into a ball of snow and throwing it forward, rolling it on the snow a few times.

"No, I don't want to leave like this," Randolph smiled heavily, "maybe I can continue with Captain Parkes." If that's the case, I'm willing to make a military career for life"

"Is that the special operations group that the leader is going to form?" Heflang suddenly turned his head to look at the big bull Landowman, "Why don't you tell the brothers everything you know, what the hell is going on?" I'm all a little confused, aren't we a whole company? ”

"The time hasn't come yet, Babe," Gurnelli smiled at him, "and when the boss announces this himself, we should have a choice."

"I hope to be honest, if I do let my brothers go, I'm still very reluctant," Heflang nodded, muttering to himself.

At this time, Kaber, who had been staring at Ford Village, suddenly shouted, then stood up and pointed to the Foy Village in front and shouted: "God, those bastards in the third battalion have retreated, they were driven out by the Germans, damn it, what should we do?" ”

Everyone followed Kaber's cry. It was clear that the situation was not in favor of the 3rd Battalion, and their men were constantly retreating, and the latter had already withdrawn from Foy Village and entered the outskirts of the village, while on the attacking side, the German tanks were constantly advancing, and bombarding the 3rd Battalion's fixed positions and bunkers in the village.

"God, the third battalion is finished" Malachi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the smoke billowing in front of him.

The Welsh lieutenant appeared at the front at this point, looked at the brothers, and then said to Tybert, "Bad news, guys. Sergeant, call the non-commissioned officers and platoon commanders to the company headquarters, we have something to do. The third battalion was already in defeat, and Captain Winters received an order from Colonel Zinke to prepare the second battalion to attack Foy again. ”

"Captain, don't they know that we've just had a hard battle?" Goneri muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Fuy was defeated by us, why can't the third battalion hold it, so let us go up?" Don't they know that we just stepped back? ”

Captain Wales looked at Gunnery and said expressionlessly: "Sergeant, I also want to give this matter to Captain Winters, but we still have to carry out the order, okay, let's get ready"

Watching the Welsh lieutenant leave, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Sergeant Tybert went to call the platoon commander, while Lip was responsible for calling the sergeants. But it was more about the mood of the soldiers, which all at once fell to the bottom. It was thought that the brothers would have a break after a big battle, but they were disappointed.

"The Welsh lieutenant is such a good man," Malaki said sarcastically to Goneri.

"Hehe, it's not his fault, it's Colonel Zink, you know? What can the Welsh lieutenant do? He's just carrying out orders, just like we must obey Captain Haliger's orders, and Halig obeys the company commander, don't talk about this," Gurnerey was uncomfortable with Malachi's words, and argued with some annoyance.

The Welsh lieutenant was at the company headquarters and gave a brief account of the mission. The sergeants of each platoon assigned their tasks according to their own arrangements. Wales let out a long sigh. But he saw Captain Halig who had gone and returned.

"What's the matter? Captain Haliger," Captain Wales nodded at him.

"Well, the brothers' mood is a little wrong," Captain Halig hesitated for a moment, but said anyway, "They seem to be unconfident, perhaps because they are going to fight again, they are not ready, especially after a difficult offensive battle. ”

Captain Wales nodded, he had no choice but to say to Captain Helrig, "I know" Seeing that Captain Hellig turned around and was about to leave, Welsh added to him: "Have a good talk with the brothers." Tell them that Captain Parks will be back soon, don't worry about this attack, we're not the main attacking force"

Halig turned his head to look at Captain Wales, then nodded. He knew that the Welsh lieutenant could not do anything, and even he could not mobilize his brothers like this. What he has to do now is to do his part.

Some of the soldiers who had retreated from the defeat of the third battalion retreated to the place where the E Company was, and looking at the dusty faces of these people and their faces depressed, the brothers felt that they were getting closer and closer to the time to go to battle.

At night, neither the German nor the American forces moved, except for the occasional exchange of fire from patrols on both sides. But an even bigger offensive is brewing.

The brothers of E Company were in an anxious mood and slowly waited for the light of the next day. They were all dressed up, and everyone's faces looked a little numb. The bull randolphin twitched the corners of his clothes tightly with his fingers, and then held the rifle to his chest. Sergeant Tybert and Captain Spierre were at the head of the line, crouching on the ground, waiting for the final orders.
