Chapter 59: The Battle of Brecoup Manor (Part II)

"Hey, are you guys e-company?" A voice came from behind Parks, and an ensign was seen lying on the edge of the trench, looking at Parks and Gurnerey in the trench.

"Who are you?" Parks shrunk his head and looked at him as if he were a little familiar.

The second lieutenant said: "I am Second Lieutenant Andrew Hill, the regimental staff officer, I got separated during the parachute jump, and I heard the gunfire here, I think I can find you, and now I have proved my guess right." Can you tell me where the regimental headquarters is now? Hill smiled a little smugly.

"Behind that!" Parks pointed behind him, then said loudly, "Maybe there's a battalion there." You go there and find Lieutenant Colonel Streil, who might be able to tell you exactly where the regimental headquarters is. ”

"Thank you!" Ensign Hill nodded, then raised his head and looked back, "Is your name Parks?" I saw you at the regimental headquarters, ...... just now" The voice suddenly stopped, and a stream of blood came out of the middle of his helmet, and his forehead helmet was pierced by MG42 machine gun bullets, and his head drooped and died.

Gnay was dumbfounded, and subconsciously shrank his head from the trench.

After this incident, Winters reminded everyone to try to shrink their bodies into the trenches and exercise with their waists bent. The Germans' machine-gun fire was almost constant, and bullets whizzed above the trenches.

At this time, a group of six men behind Winters rushed over at gunfire and jumped into the trench.

"Lieutenant Winters, I heard you need ammo, I've brought some!" It was Lieutenant Spierre who came with 5 reinforcements. They brought 3 boxes of ** explosives and some phosphorus incendiary grenades, as well as some machine gun and rifle bullets.

"Let's take it as much as you can!" Winters screamed loudly.

"What's going on now?" Spiel shot as he thought about Winters.

Winters pointed forward with his hand: "There is still one last gun left, but the German machine guns are very tightly blocked, and there are two machine guns that are constantly strafing, which adds to our difficulties." ”

Spiel half-bared his head, looked at the turret in front of him for a while, and then shouted at Winters, "Lieutenant Winters, can you let Company D try to capture the last gun?" ”

Winters glanced at him, then nodded, "No problem, Lieutenant!" Please! ”

Spiel shouted loudly: "Brothers of Company D, let's go." With that, he jumped out of the trench and attacked the last cannon.

When the last one jumped out of the trench, he threw a grenade at the German battery, but he stood too straight, and a burst of machine-gun bullets strafed him, "poof" "poof" "poof...... Dense bullets hit him, piercing his shoulders and back. He fell headlong into the trench, his mouth covered with blood.

"God, he's dead!" White couldn't help but scream, and he felt a rush of panic in his heart.

"It's F-Company's 'old stubborn' Hodge, I just don't know how he got involved with D-Company." Goneri glanced at the corpse, pursed his lips, and then "clicked", loaded the bullet, and lay down in the trench to shoot at the German position.

"Cover, machine guns cover Company D with all their might!" Winters shouted at Christenson and Carber. This woke them up from their shock, pulled their fingers on the trigger, and poured bullets at the Germans.

Spiel did not pause in the slightest because of Hall's death, and they attacked the German batteries along the fence as if they had gone mad. Bullets flew over their heads, making a "crack" and "click" sound on the fence, and the dirt around them also splattered and scattered in all directions.

"Hurry up, don't stop!" Spierre urged his brothers loudly. Everyone was nervous, they ran desperately forward, and the German machine-gun bullets seemed to be chasing them.

One person fell, and someone shouted, "Robert's finished!" ”

"Don't stop." As he shot, Spiel shouted, "Scott, keep up!" ”

Private Scott only felt his heart popping out of his throat, and he felt like he couldn't even breathe. He followed Spiel's side, holding the M1 Garand rifle, not daring to stop for a moment, let alone shoot while running like Spiel, he was afraid that he would stop as soon as he fired, and if he paused, he would be hit by the gm42 machine gun bullet that sounded terrifying.

"Grenades!" Spear suddenly yelled at Scott. Then a grenade was thrown at the positions of the Germans. Scott subconsciously reached out and wanted to pull out the grenade. Then he stopped.

"Poof" and "poof" sounds, like the sound of a wooden stick hitting on the torn cotton wool.

Scott felt as if his body had been hammered twice by something, as if something was burning in his body. The habitual surname staggered back a few steps with his body with him, but did not fall.

"Did you get shot?" Scott reached out and touched the place where he was hit, only to feel the blood on his hand. Shot. He wanted to shout loudly, just like the other wounded he saw, and then he let out a heart-rending cry.

"Ahh

"Poof" was another sound of a bullet passing through **, his head was hit, his face was splashed with his brains and blood, and his cry was as if he had been suddenly cut off by someone. fell headlong to the ground.

"Scott is dead!" Someone in the group shouted.

Several explosions of "boom-" rang out from the German artillery positions. Spiel had already rushed forward, firing at the Germans with his Thomson submachine gun, and the few remaining ones kept firing, knowing that the magazine had bounced out of the gun, and the Germans were already dead.

"It's crazy that they actually left the trench and charged directly at the Germans." Compton looked at them in disbelief, his mouth opening in shock, "Oh my God, what are they doing?" ”

As he spoke, another man suddenly fell in front of the German position.

"Oh my God!" Winters couldn't help but scream.

Parks knew that Spiel was so crazy, walking through the rain of bullets, regardless of casualties, and only his luck was that he didn't get hit many times, which was really shit luck.

By this time the gunfire of the battery had stopped, and Spiel was facing Winters and them, waving and gesturing at them - success!

Winters gave him a thumbs up. It really took courage to charge, and Winters thought that he would not be so hard in such a situation.

Spiel destroyed the cannon and rushed over to rendezvous with Winters. Many of the brothers of E Company looked at him with very strange eyes, but the shock brought to them by such a charge could not be calmed down for a long time. Perhaps this was the first frontal charge they had ever seen on the battlefield.

"Da da da ......" At this time, a dense fire of machine guns came from the Brekut manor. Scatter the dirt and branches around them.

"At least four GM42 machine guns!" Parks looked in the direction of the manor and judged.

"You're right. Maybe it's time for us to retreat. Winters also looked at the manor, and then at the four cannons, which had all been destroyed. Since it was destroyed, there was not much point in staying here.

"Let's go, let's go back!" Winters gave the order, "Christenson, you guys get out first." ”

The Heavy went first, then Parks, and Winters was the last to retreat.

"I can't believe we killed 20 Germans!" After retreating to safety, White couldn't help but smile smugly at Parks, and his mood remained high after he relaxed from nervousness.

"And 4 captives!" Parks added at this point.

At this time, Maraki came with four captives, then glanced at Parks, and shouted at the four captives: "Hey, Germans, you guys go quickly, you damn scumbag." ”

Strieter spoke highly of Winters' action.

"Stationed there were a platoon of the German 6th Parachute Regiment, probably more than 50 people! Here's what our latest intelligence shows. "It can be seen that Striele is in a good mood.

"Yes, I think we should have killed 20 of them, but they had at least four MG42 machine guns in the back, and the cannons were all destroyed, so we came back." Winters nodded. "And we also routed one of their artillery batteries, and the gunners fled, perhaps frightened." Then he took his leave and went out.

After some time, Strieter called Winters over again.

"You're eliminating a German artillery battery that is holding Causeway 2 and taking control of Utah Beach. You saved them, and I'm so proud of you! This was the most relieving sentence that Stryll said, the success of this attack had a great effect on the landing, and greatly reduced the casualties of the landing force, and the commander of the landing force had just called to thank him, and he also learned from the captured documents that the artillery company had a telephone leading directly to an observation post in a pillbox at the exit of causeway No. 2, and they had been reporting the position of the 4th Infantry Division that had landed in order to inflict heavy damage on the landing force. He brought in Winters and congratulated him personally. This is also the glory of the 101 regiment of the 506 airborne division.
