Chapter 200 No choice

Parks led the whole platoon of 35 people who could participate in the battle to move forward quickly along the south side of the embankment. As he was approaching, Sergeant Youman whispered to him, "That's it, company commander!"

Parks nodded, turned around, and gestured to his brothers to hide along the embankment. The German machine gun position was still there. They were shooting to the south. The sound of the MG42 machine gun tearing the rags made the adrenal glands of the brothers in the platoon constantly surge. This is indeed a good way to stimulate nerves.

"What are they shooting?" Picak climbed over and said to Parks, "What's there?"

"It's the regimental headquarters!" Parks said, "But it's more than three miles away from here. They are self-detonating targets. It doesn't make sense at all."

"I'll take a look and stay here and wait for my signal!" Parks said to Picac, "It's up to you here."

Parks said and began to climb quickly to the top of the embankment. To the north of the embankment, he saw a 1-meter-deep ditch parallel to the embankment. This ditch can provide some cover for their approach to the highway.

When Parks returned to the patrol, he whispered to the back and said, "Hasshii, Sergei, protect the right wing after you two break up. The rest of the people followed me, and we were going to climb over the levee. Then he took his brothers to climb over the embankment, went down to the ditch to the north of the embankment, and carefully moved along the ditch in the direction of the road.

When it was still 200 meters away from the road, Parks stopped the patrol again and moved forward alone to detect the situation. When he leaned on the highway, which was about 1 meter higher than the field, he could hear the sound from the other side. He looked to the right and saw that next to the machine gun at the top of the levee, the outline of several German soldiers was reflected in the night sky. They wear winter coats and conspicuous German helmets. Winters is located in the irrigation ditch below, about 25 meters away from them.

This is the scene in the movie, and the truth of history once again appeared in front of his eyes. Parks couldn't help smiling. It seemed that Winters' fame was destined to be realized in his own hands.

Parks crawled back to the patrol: "The Germans are in the gun position. They are guarded there, but there are not many. We can completely destroy them! We have to crawl there. We can't make a sound. We should lower our bodies and move quickly. Guys, we don't have long now, and it's almost dawn!"

Parks led the team to about 40 meters away from the machine gun on the levee. Parks came to each team member and whispered that he assigned the target to each rifleman and every machine gunner.

"The first one on the left, the first one on the right!" ...Parks asked Boyle to take charge of the machine gun and attacked the German MG42 machine gun. Pankara and Muk set up a 60mm mortar to provide fire support after the attack began. He lay on the edge of the embankment and then raised his rifle. He carefully adjusted the target. The Germans did not find anything unusual. They still shot south and spoke loudly.

"Aim, be sure, guys!" Parks slowly lengthen his voice. He felt the cold light on the rifle, and then gave a decisive order: "Fire!"

" Bang Bang", the rifle opened fire, mixed with the sound of the German MG42 machine gun, which looked a little abrupt. The machine gunner under the Parks gun was hit in the head and immediately drooped down. The remaining six Germans were hit and knocked to the ground before they could react. At this time, the follow-up personnel of the German army immediately reacted. Their machine guns shot this way.

They used a tray bomb, and the bullets swish over the heads of their brothers with flames. Their shooting was too high, but the brothers still lay on the ground and dared not raise their heads.

"Boyle, suppress the fire!" Parks shouted, "Pankara, Muck. A series of mortars! The rest of the brothers, step back, hurry up, hurry up!" He shouted loudly.)

A mortar explosion exploded in the middle of the German army. Pankara and Muck's first mortar hit a German machine gun position and knocked out the MG42 machine gun that had just roared.

"Well done!" Boyle couldn't help praising loudly, "Baby, it's really beautiful. I hit the German MG42 with one shot. Shit luck!"

But the Germans soon came to their senses, and Parks and others began to be shot by light rifles across the road to the ferry. Their firepower is very fierce and dense. Obviously, this is not what a patrol can do. Parks soon thought of the situation that Wentes had encountered in his previous life. There must be two companies of Germans here.

Although he didn't know their specific location now, Parks could not take the risk. He loudly ordered the brothers in the second row to retreat about 200 meters along the way they came, where they were out of sight of the German army. This place is connected to another vertical ditch, leading from the embankment to the river.

"Luz, contact the battalion headquarters. We have now encountered a large group of German troops. About two companies are infiltrating us. It is estimated that the target is the regiment headquarters. The German attack may be launched at dawn today. Let Captain Winters know the news as soon as possible. The regimental department now has a choice, whether to take the initiative or be beaten passively!" Parks waved to Luz and then said.

"I see!" Luz quickly contacted the battalion headquarters. Winters was surprised when he heard the news. He asked to talk to Parks in person. He wanted to know more.

"Rees, are you sure?" Winters asked.

"Yes, yes, we just exchanged fire with them. Judging from their firepower, there is at least one company that exchanged fire with us. This is still the infiltrating company we found. Before that, there must have been Germans infiltrating. Dick, think about it, what's the purpose of their doing this? Regiment headquarters, they must want to launch an attack today!" Parks's speed of speech was very fast, but he had to do so. The situation was already very urgent.

"Okay, I'll contact Colonel Sink right away!" Winters showed his calmness and courage at this time, and the information revealed in this matter was obviously the same as Parks's speculation. The Germans are likely to launch an attack. And the commander of Sink can also make a favorable decision to carry out a sudden and fierce shelling of the German positions before they launch the attack, completely disrupting their attack plan, thus forcing them to rush into the attack.

Because the German army is now on the string, it has to send it.

"Luz, contact Lieutenant Wales. Let him ask the three rows of brothers to stick to the trench position, and the Germans may launch a large-scale attack. Let the brothers cheer up. Parks shouted at Luz again! Obviously, it is impossible for the brothers in the first and third rows to pull out their hands to help themselves. Their own defense line is too long, and the Germans' attack may be tonight.

Parks walked out of the dike, and then quietly observed between the two lines of defense, and his mind began to think rapidly. The Germans are now hiding behind the solid road berms, while they and the second row of people are in a shallow ditch with no safe way out. Obviously, the Germans occupied the favorable terrain.

The sky has begun to light up. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of shelling between the defense lines south of the 506th Regiment, which was very dense, and the target of their bombardment was the south where the Germans were ready to attack. Obviously, Colonel Sink finally made a decision. He began to pre-empt and began to act before the Germans launched an attack.

Although it was still very dawn, the observation of the bullets was not very clear, but the British did not hesitate to spare the shells. Their bombardment was almost indiscriminate intensive bombardment, and the shells were like raindrops. Such an intensive shelling could not catch up even when the market garden was in action.

The German army behind the road berm was obviously a little stirred by such a situation, but they still did not move, but stayed behind more cautiously. The Germans hesitated. They knew that the gunfire was not their own, but the U.S. military was firing, which was completely different from the original design, and they did not dare to act rashly.

"They have started!" Lieutenant Piccock climbed up to Parks and said to him, "What should we do now?

Parks took out the map, then looked at the map, and said to Picak: "The Germans now occupy a favorable position. They can completely use the causeway to attack us from both sides and destroy us. If they can figure it out. And there is nothing to cover them on the south side of the river bank. The Germans can easily go down the road and go straight to the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion in Haimen.

"How many German troops are we going to face?" Picak frowned and said.

"There may be two companies. They take a boat through the ferry! It is planned to infiltrate here and then cooperate with the German 363rd Division to attack the regimental headquarters. It seems that they did it. They have infiltrated!" Parks Road.

Picard took a deep breath. Obviously, this is the last thing he wants to hear. Now there are only more than 30 people on his side, but he has to face two whole companies of German troops.

"Well, tell me your decision, Company Chief Parks!" Picac sighed.

Parks put the map in his arms and whispered to Picak, "We have no choice!" At this time, the sky was already bright, and the situation on the embankment was clearly revealed. Parks motioned to Picak, and then the two slowly climbed back under the embankment.

Parks checked the hands he had, 35 people. He waved to Lieutenant Picak and Sergeant Tebert, "Come here, let's discuss it. We will have to exchange fire with the Germans."

"Do it, boss!" Tybert used such a word at this time. Although Picak knew that many brothers in a row had called Parks that, he was still a little surprised when Tebert said it. He glanced at Tybert and didn't say anything.

Parks didn't care about their look just now. He arranged the task and said, "Tybo, you lead the third class to attack from the right wing. Picac led a group to attack from the left wing. I led the second class to attack from the middle. Ask Boyle to fire the machine gun between the columns. As our fire cover." Got it, boss!" Tybert replied again. He squeezed his lips and his eyes began to flash. Obviously, he insisted on shouting this sentence to cheer himself up. It seems that the word "head" is the guarantee to lead them to victory.
