The German offensive was scheduled for dawn on October 14. But the whole 506th Regiment did not know, and Colonel Zinke was still speculating about the timing of the German attack, he did not know that the Germans were ready to attack, and it was clear that if this situation was ignored, the 506th Regiment would suffer a major blow.

At 3 a.m. on October 14, 1944, Parks sent Sergeant Yoman, Private Avery Lie, Private Stafford, and Red to set up a post in a house near a windmill on the south side of the embankment. The building is located on the side of a large north-south road that leads north to the ferry crossing by the river and south to the village of Nijb.

When the patrol came to the side of the road, Yuman said to Stafford, "Go and look at the embankment." We're going to set up a post nearby, and we're going to have to be cautious with the Germans. ”

"Okay, Sergeant!" Stafford was a soldier who followed orders and discipline very well. He quickly climbed up the ditch of the embankment, and when he was about to reach the top of the embankment, he quickly lay down, and then crawled to the top of the embankment. He glanced at it, and then couldn't help but curse to himself: "Damn." Although it was dark, he could make out a few Germans on the embankment, patrolling. What he didn't expect was that there was a German machine-gun emplacement. Machine guns were erected at the intersection of the road leading to the ferry and the embankment.

"The Germans are on top!" Stafford was a little flustered, gesturing behind him, and then slowly trying to retreat back to his original position. But he was a little nervous and accidentally kicked a rock, making a noise.

"Oops!" He couldn't help but scream, and then ran towards Yuman as fast as he could, and the Germans obviously noticed him, and then spotted Yuman and the other three behind him. They threw grenades.

"Grenades!" Yuman screamed, and fell to the ground.

There were a few explosions of "boom-" around Stafford. Stafford had barely taken a few steps when he felt a warm stream of blood gushing out of his neck.

"I've been shot!" He screamed and fell to the ground as fast as he could.

The Germans fired in this direction, and the machine-gun bullets were fired in this direction as quickly as possible, mixed with the sound of rifles, and the bullets "whizzed" over the heads of the Yumans, and they could not lift their heads in the oppression.

"Red, bring Stafford over here, damn it, what's wrong with him?" Yuman shouted hoarsely. He crawled over and pulled Rastaford, only to find that he was constantly twitching. There was blood gushing out of the neck.

"God, he was shot!" Avery and Red climbed over, and the trio worked together to roll Stafford over and roll down the ditch of the embankment, the only place where they could avoid German fire.

"Go, go, go." Yuman shouted loudly, "Let's retreat, go back to the company, hurry up!" ”

"God, how many Germans are there? We can't see clearly! Avery didn't dare to turn back, but he couldn't help but let out his own exclamation, the Germans were under very heavy fire. Far more than a patrol can raise a glass toast.

"Don't care about that." Yuman dragged Stafford as fast as he could, "We need to get back to the company, hurry, Alley." Red, you're broken in the back! ”

"Well, it's me again, sergeant!" Red turned around and wanted to shoot at the Germans, but he was really suppressed by the Germans and was a little annoyed.

"Bang!" He fired a shot, then used all the bullets in his rifle in one go. But it was too late to change the magazine. A bullet flew over and hit him in the left rib.

"Ahh Red let out a loud cry and fell into the ditch and tried to get up, but he felt a sharp pain in his left rib, as if something was pulling at his lungs, and he couldn't breathe.

"Damn it!" Yuman now feels terrible that he has a patrol with him. He said to Ellie, "You go and help him, and Stafford will be handed over to me!" ”

Elimari helped Red up, but he grabbed Red's left arm and tried to put him on his shoulder, but it touched Red's wound, causing him to scream and sweat from his head.

Red gasped violently, then yelled at Ellie, "Do you want to help the Germans kill me?" Damn, I've got a wound in my left rib, you should hold my right arm, man, I won't forgive you! ”

"Let's go back first, Red, if you can keep your mouth shut! I don't mind going back to the company and having you kick it, you idiot, hurry up! Alley turned, grabbed his arm, hooked his body, and retreated towards the company step by step.

The feeling of this patrol was just too bad. Yuman did not even know how many Germans had crossed the embankment, they were attacked by the Germans, and two were wounded.

"How far are we, Sergeant!" Eli was behind Yuman, panting with Red, but the Germans did not chase them, which allowed them to finally escape the German fire without being hurt again.

"500 meters, I don't know, should be like this. We're almost there! Yuman faintly saw the blurred appearance of the company. From the company headquarters to the place where the fire was exchanged just now, it was only a kilometer away.

The company vaguely heard the sound of gunfire, but this was relatively normal when patrolling. Occasional firefights, not very intense. Parks was polishing his pistol, a Colt pistol, in the company. The Welsh lieutenant went to the trench positions where the first and second platoons were located. He himself said that he was going to urge the slackers.

Tybert was holding a large dog and was talking to several soldiers. There were other soldiers, some sitting on the ground, some cooking with steel helmets, apparently unconcerned by the gunfire.

"That's the way it is, guys. The Germans had to cross the river first, then across a beach and a levee. That's a big area! Tybert kept admonishing several GIs.

"So, Sergeant, where are you going to let us go?" At this time, Sergei suddenly asked Tybert.

"Sergey?" Tybert looked at him, and then said, "You go up to the attic and take these guys with you!" ”

"Okay! Staff sergeant! Sergei agreed, and then said to a few guys behind him, "Okay, rookies, come up with me!" That's a great treat! Then he and a few GIs walked towards the attic of the farmhouse.

"It's terrible!" Tybert muttered.

Parks smiled at him, "It's that the area covered is too big, and it depends on a few of us American soldiers, right?" ”

"Yes, that's right!" Tybert shook his head, then said to Parks, "The former recruits are familiarizing themselves with the environment with their reinforcements. Damn, I'm sure some of them aren't even adults! ”

Parks nodded, and as he wiped his gun, he said, "yes, they're kids!" Then he looked at Tybert's dog, "That's a strong dog, Taber!" What's its name? Trigger? ”

"Yes, it's the trigger!" Tybert looked at Parks in surprise and said, "I rarely call him by this name, usually he is called buddy, I didn't expect to be heard by you, the chance is too small!" ”

"Trigger?" Lutz, who was sitting opposite Parks and was in charge of the company's walkie-talkie, suddenly came to his senses, and while stuffing food into his mouth, he nodded and smiled, "Very good, I like it, trigger!" ”

"Is there any movement?" Tybert said to Lutz, "Maybe it's over the trench, or it's over the battalion!" ”

Lutz shook his head and said, "No, it's quiet here, someone was shooting just now!" He smiled as he spoke.

While they were chatting, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Yuman and Ellie, each covered in blood, burst in with a man in their arms, and as soon as they entered, they shouted loudly: "We have been infiltrated by the Germans." Our front broke into the Germans. ”

"Doctor!" Ellie shouted to the doctor, "We've got some of us!" ”

Parks jumped up, then swept the things off the table to the ground, yelling at them, "Hurry up, put them here." ”

At this time, all the brothers were alert, and they quickly got up, and then grabbed their rifles. Doctor Law barged in from the outside, and then he said to Ellie, "Hold down Red's ribs, use gauze!" He threw a bandage at him. He quickly pulled out another one and pressed it against Stafford's neck.

"I'll take care of it here. Sergeant Yuman, go and call Dr. Cooper, I'm too busy to do it alone. Hurry up, he's outside. Doctor Luo shouted loudly.

"What happened? Where is it? Parks said to Ellie.

Ellie looked at Red, pursed his lips, and said, "The intersection is the intersection of the road and the embankment. Then he shook his head again and said, "I don't know how many Germans there are, but they have a lot of firepower." It's not like a normal patrol! ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Parks nodded.

By this time, Tybert had already shouted loudly: "Lieutenant, give me a shift." A group of people are ready, grab your weapons and ammunition, hurry, hurry! ”

He rushed to the place where he had rested, grabbing his weapons and ammunition. He shouted, "Hurry up, let's go." ”

At this moment Medic Cooper rushed in, and he shouted at Eli, "Let go of your hands, I'll leave it here!" With that, he reached over and took Elli's place, pressed Red's wound, and whispered to him, "Okay, you'll be fine, relax, Red!" With that, he began to treat Red's wounds urgently.

Tybert had already led a Bandian on his way.

Parks was about to ask Boyle to bring the radio, but after a while, he gave up and turned to Lutz and said, "Take the radio, we'll be with Tybert." Then he turned to Boyle and said loudly: "Watch the radio, we will keep in touch at any time!" ”

Parks suddenly felt very familiar with this battle. It was probably the best battle situation that Winters had ever encountered. It's just a difference in time, but things haven't changed at all. He caught up with Tybert, and then whispered: "I'll command, you go and call the rest of the brothers, it is estimated that this time it will not be a small group of Germans!" ”
