Chapter 280: Into the Enemy Group
Chapter 280: Going Deep into the Enemy Group
The snow was still falling, not very heavy, but it was getting colder. The snowflakes quickly covered the several people who fell to the ground.
I don't know if it was too cold or because I was frightened by the scene in front of me, but Ritter was standing behind a large tree nearby, and behind him was a Caber with a gun. They were standing behind the trees, the visibility was so low that none of the three Germans saw them. But his body was shaking, and Camber behind him knew why he was like this, and even if he saw such a situation, he couldn't say a word of surprise. The demise of the three Germans was nothing more than a momentary affair, and without a shot being fired.
Thoy stepped out from behind the tree behind the dead German soldier and gently pulled out the dagger, which he had carried with him and was very easy to use. The feeling was too exciting for him, and he exclaimed to Parks, who was walking by in an SS uniform: "Chief, I really don't know how to express myself." Really, it's great to be able to play alongside you. Always able to surprise me and teach these Germans a lesson"
Yes, Toy was really unexpected, even when Captain Parks was arranging the mission, he knew that the five Germans were finished. The design was perfect. First, he used what Parks called "luring the snake out of the hole", fired a shot, attracting the German patrol, and then Parks took advantage of the gray weather to kill the last German soldier unconsciously, so that the German sergeant went to investigate alone, and sent Kaber to disguise himself as the German soldier to lead a person to chase after him, of course, the German army will also be "missing", and using the fear and anxiety of the remaining three, as well as the heavy snow, it is judged that they will go back the same way. The captain himself wore the uniform of the German army, took advantage of the camouflage of heavy snow, and then killed two German soldiers in one fell swoop, while he dealt with the other himself. These things, one link after another, moved quickly and cleanly, so that these German soldiers unknowingly fell into the trap and were easily killed by their own side.
This series of actions is one of the subjects of standard special operations, and it comprehensively uses a variety of means to achieve the goal of destroying the enemy. And Parks's personal assassination skills made several people sincerely admire, so that Hudson always muttered in his mouth afterwards: "God, the perfect killing machine, the perfect killing machine"
Yes, it wasn't just Hudson who thought so, but everyone, including the German prisoner Ritter. Toy wanted to learn something from Parks, and kept using the words of the Einsatzgruppen to match Parks' tone.
"Ritter, it's up to us now," Parks suddenly smiled at Ritter in German.
Ritter was startled, then looked at Parks with some trepidation and said, "Sir, what? What do I need to do? He now has no desire to resist, and his heart is full of admiration for the person Parks, who behaves so strangely that even God may not guess, and with the calmness and composure of murder, and the ruthlessness of his actions, he does not dare to disobey any of his orders.
Parks beckoned to him, "Come here, Ritter, there's something we need to work with, you seem to have said earlier that some of you are unwilling to take responsibility for killing prisoners, are you?" β
"Yes, yes, sir," Ritter said as he walked almost as he moved in front of Parks, nodding his head hurriedly, "Most people didn't know about it at the time, they only knew about it after the shooting, but not exactly, Oak Switzerland was one of them, he must have known the details, but he didn't tell us beforehand." β
"Well, I can tell you right now that the town of Norville has been taken by our men. So how many of you are willing to follow the Gurion School and carry out his order to kill the 48 captives? Parks asked again. His expression was calm, but it sent chills through Ritter's body.
"I- I don't know, but it shouldn't be a lot" Ritter looked at Parks and couldn't help but shrink his neck, as if Parks' eyes were like the bayonet he threw out, and would pierce his throat, just like the bayonet pierced Fred's throat, and then quickly added, "We have an ensign, he has a different opinion from the colonel, he doesn't want to kill the prisoners, but Gurion is the colonel, he can't help it, so I can't be sure now, sir, I'm telling the truth"
Parks looked at him and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Ritter, maybe the two of us need to cooperate this time, if you can help me save these prisoners of war, then you will be pardoned by the American ** team, and maybe there will be a compliment." And - you will save the lives of Germans who do not want to kill prisoners. Know what orders General Eisenhower ordered? He had ordered not to spare any of the executioners involved in the Malmedy massacre, you were part of their fighting unit, and the only way to clear yourself and those who did not participate was to work with me to save these 48 American prisoners. Do you understand? β
Ritter swallowed a mouthful of saliva suddenly, squirmed up and down in his throat, swallowed, and then nodded vigorously, "I know sir,...... Tell me, what to do? β
"It's easy, I'll tell you, but only if you're too nervous right now," Parks nodded at him, then smiled lightly, "I need you to relax, it's going to ruin the atmosphere." Of course, if you have anything else on your mind, I promise, I'll be the first to kill you, without mercy" At this point, Parks's words were a little cold, making Ritter feel cold from body to heart, but he quickly learned about the whole plan from Parks, and it sounded pretty good. At the very least, it's worth a try, by luck. Of course, if he can't succeed, he will have to arrange something else.
At two o'clock in the morning, the snow was heavier, and the American prisoners huddled together to keep each other warm, while the Germans stayed in makeshift foxholes, covered with branches, and they were only slightly better, but still feeling the cold.
Ensign Eeld is already looking at his watch for the tenth time. The patrol he had sent out hadn't come back yet, which made him very worried. Although he doesn't like Oak Switzerland, that doesn't mean he can ignore the dangers. There were seven people before and after, and none of them came back, so they won't all get lost. But who can say well about such a stormy and snowy weather? He even wondered if Orricks and his unknown soldier left and never returned, then would the Gurion School have five less obedient soldiers? But he quickly took the thought out of his mind, and now was not the time to think about it, they had to get through the crisis together.
At this time, he suddenly saw two blurred shadows in front of him, and he couldn't help but raise his rifle quickly, and then shouted at the two figures: "What people, speak, or you will shoot" His shout woke up the Germans, and they raised their rifles one after another, and then they heard someone shouting: "It's me, ensign, it's me, Ritter, I'm Ritter, don't shoot"
Ensign Elder breathed a sigh of relief, then waved at the other soldiers, motioning for them to put away their rifles. He saw Ritter walking over with a soldier in a German uniform, he felt that something was wrong, slowly picked up the rifle again, and said to Ritter: "Who is he?" Where did Robern go? β
Ritter looked a little stiff as he looked at Ensign Alder in surprise, "Damn, hasn't Robyrne come back yet?" I asked him to come back first, I had to take care of this unlucky guy, he shot him, but luckily I had some bandages and bandaged him. With great difficulty, he helped the German soldier to the side of his foxhole and sat down.
Major Ayder frowned, looked at the two of them, and crouched down to say to the German soldier who was already lying in the foxhole: "Hey, corporal, what's your name?" Why is it here, and why are you still injured? β
"Sir, my name is Jason? Byrne, of the 5th Panzer Division, I'm lost, I've been wandering around in the snow alone for two days, we were supposed to be stationed in the town of Norville, but three days ago, the town of Norville had been occupied by the Americans, and many people died, but I escaped and hid here, I haven't eaten all day, and I shot me back" he said and pointed to his bandaged left hand, "His masterpiece sir. This passage was said so loudly that some of the surrounding Germans had already heard it, and then turned their heads and looked this way.
"Yes, I was careless, but don't keep talking about that, okay? It's not my fault who told you to rock there and still not answer my question, your own problem, man" Ritter yelled at Byrne with dissatisfaction.
"That's enough, stay tuned," Ensign Elder was visibly annoyed by the news brought by the soldier named Bourne. As it stands, the town of Norville has been lost. Then their gang has been completely trapped by the US military, and even if they are not captured by the US military, the final outcome may be to freeze to death or starve to death
The Gurion School was woken up by someone when he was in a daze in a foxhole. In fact, he doesn't like to be disturbed when he sleeps, he has his own biological clock, he sleeps very little, but when he is asleep, he is very alert.
"Damn," he scolded, then opened his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Ensign Elder's faceβan anxious and helpless face, and then shook his head, and said with some displeasure, "Ensign, what's the matter?" He tried to suppress his unpleasantness and said to Ensign Elder.
"Sir, I just got the news that the town of Norville has been taken by the U.S. Army," Second Lieutenant Eyrd looked at Gurion's impatient expression and patiently told him the news.
Gurion was taken aback, although he knew that the town of Norville was likely to be occupied by the American army, but he never said his speculation, just to stabilize the morale of the army. He was not at all surprised by the news of the occupation of the town of Norville, he was surprised by who had said it. He immediately reflexively got up, looked at Alder sternly, and said, "Second Lieutenant, this can't be said casually, tell me, where is your source?" Is it reliable news? Do the soldiers know about it? β
"Yes, I think the news should be reliable, it was from one of the soldiers who escaped from the town of Norville at Ritter's patrol," said Second Lieutenant Elder.
"Bring that man, I'll ask him personally" Gurion frowned, then waved at Ensign Elder. If this news is truly irreversible, he will carry out his plan and shoot all the prisoners.
