Chapter 203 "Tough Guy" is very injured
The attacking team still used Parks's cross-sectional attack method just now and retreated to the levee. In order to avoid the German bombardment of the retreating brothers, Parks has been urging them to maintain a rapid withdrawal.
The last batch was the soldiers of Company D. Their speed was not as fast as that of Company E's brothers. Lieutenant Spiel stood at the intersection of the levee and the highway and shouted at them, "Come on, come on, don't let the Germans kick your ass."
When there were only the last five people, Speer himself rushed down the levee. At this time, the German artillery shot at the intersection, and it seemed very accurate.
"Enemy gun shooting!" Someone shouted loudly.
The continuous explosion of "Boom--" made the stones on the road blown up everywhere. Some stones splashed down and hit the brothers who had been hidden under the embankment. Although it only caused abrasions on the flesh, it still made the brothers keep screaming.
"Damn it, I was blown up!" Three of the five people were hit by shells, and some of them shouted loudly. The other two rolled and crawled under the embankment, making panicked exclamations.
Three bombed soldiers were quickly dragged off the road. But only one of the three people moaned. The other two were dead. One of them was directly cut off his head by the shell, and the other was directly inserted into the heart by the shrapnel. The injured guy's calf was blown up. Two people were killed and one was injured, which made the retreat not perfect.
"The fool of Company D!" Sergeant Yuman whispered to Muck.
"Don't say that about them. Some of them are dead!" Muck replied to Yuman.
Yuman shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I knew it was like this. I mean, the brothers of Company E run a little faster than them. In fact, the brothers of Company E run faster than the company of the 101st Airborne Division.
"The training results of the company commander!" At this time, Muck nodded and responded to him, "If it hadn't been for the magical methods of Company Commander Parks, we might have been bombed here. They can't be blamed. It can only be blamed on the commander of Sink. Why didn't Company Chief Parks not extend that training method to the whole regiment when he was in Tacoya?
"This is his mistake!" Yuman laughed ahe.
Now the brothers of E Company are increasingly feeling the previous training methods, giving them a stronger body and skills, and the benefits shown on the battlefield make them more deeply understand.
Two people were killed in the attack and retreat of Company D brought by Spear, and two others were injured and lost their combat effectiveness. But this has little to do with Sbyll. It's not his improper command, but that the physical quality of the personnel of Company D is different from that of Company E, especially those veterans who came out of Tacoya.
"Luz, call the battalion, we need an ambulance." Parks shouted at Luz, "We need at least four ambulances." He looked at the brothers around him. Only Medical Officer Luo was taking care of the wounded and unable to move, but he seemed very skilled and constantly comforted the anxious soldiers.
Whether the whole battle was offensive or retreated, including the F company, a total of two people were killed and eight people were injured. This result is already satisfactory, at least for Lieutenant Sbyl. He has always thought that since it is a war, there should be casualties, which is inevitable.
"We have to set up a line of defense here!" Lieutenant Spiel came to Parks's side and then made his suggestion.
"Yes, tell the brothers that we need to consolidate the fortifications here on the levee." Parks nodded. He lay on the embankment and looked at the direction of the ferry on the other side of the German army. He was a little helpless. Obviously, they did well in this attack, but they have not completely cut off the German army, thus expanding the results. The most important thing is that the ferry was not occupied.
Ellie took the injured leg and walked back slowly. He soon arrived at an empty area. But he was a little worried that he had to cross this area before he could reach the ambulance station.
"Damn it!" He scolded secretly that the open area in front of him was full of mud and cow dung, and some broken barbed wire. And the Germans have an observation post not far away. Obviously, if they are found, they don't want to go back alive.
"Why can I still encounter such a good thing when I go back?" He held the rifle in both hands and tried to move forward as much as possible. He leaned against the ground and moved forward with the strength of his elbow, along a nibbling path, trying to climb through the empty area.
"Shit!" His trousers were hooked by barbed wire again, but he kept moving forward, and his face was almost on the ground. Even in training, he would never let his face stick to the ground. "It's really stinky. I really hope this is the breath left after the death of the Germans, not these damn cow dung!"
He crawled while complaining almost without stopping. Thinking about his current situation, it seems to be in line with his awkward appearance. But he slowly approached the safety zone. That's about 100 meters away from him.
"It seems that we have to fight!" He whispered, "The Virgin Mary!" Then he got up quickly and limped towards the safety zone. God testified that this guy was a little lame when he was running. In fact, his speed would not be slower than that of a normal person. He was very brave. Of course, this is not his self-evaluation, but the stunned evaluation made by the people of F Company after seeing him, which is too surprising.
The German observation post soon found him and then exclaimed. The 88mm shell made a sharp whistle in the air, which was almost tearing Avery's heart. He was scared out of his wits, and his running speed was improved a lot.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three consecutive explosions sounded around him. One fell on his left, one fell on his right, and one fell on his back. It seems that three 88mm guns have been aimed at him, but they have all missed.
But the soil splashed by the shell kept falling on Avery's head and face, and he even felt the dirt with cow dung in his mouth. But he doesn't care about this anymore. He must escape from this place before the German army adjusts its coordinates.
"Come here quickly, brother!" In the safety zone are some brothers of F Company, who are responsible for the vigilance and patrol of this area. Someone waved desperately to Ellie, and they roared loudly, trying to make Ellie run faster.
"I know, I know!" Avery shouted loudly, and when he stepped into safety, he fell to the ground with a bang. The brothers of Company F quickly helped him up.
"Oh, brother, you look like you've been hunted down for a long time!" A sergeant of F Company examined his wound and joked with a smile, "Are you the only one who escaped the chase?"
Ellie couldn't help reply angrily, "Damn it, don't make fun of this. Your brothers are still under German gunfire on the levee.
"Well, it's my fault!" The brother quickly apologized and smiled at him and said, "Man, let me take you to the highway. There is a car there. We'll take you back!" With that, he said to another brother of F Company, "I'm ready. Let's help him there."
Ali was sent to the side of the road. When the sergeant saw a jeep, he carried Ellie towards the jeep, then put him on the hood, patted the lid of the engine and said to the driver, "This brother is injured. Take him to the first aid station."
The jeep sped away on the road, which was pitted and bumpy, which made Ellie have to hold the borrowing edge next to the engine cover with both hands and cursed the damn road.
The jeep put Avery at the battalion headquarters, and then the driver said to Avery, "Brother, you have to walk to the first aid station by yourself. It's not far from there. There's still a car over there. I have to go back. And my brother is more seriously injured than you. With that, no matter what Elly said, he stepped on the accelerator and flew away.
"Bastard, are you going to let a person with an injured leg and foot go to the first aid station by himself?" Ellie was obviously angered by this guy. He shouted at the place where the jeep disappeared, "You damn bitch!"
But Ellie couldn't help it. He still had to stand next to him and slowly walk to the first aid station. As he passed the battalion, he saw Captain Winters and Captain Nixon coming out of the battalion. He stopped and saluted Winters and Nixon.
Winters returned a salute, then looked at his legs, frowned and said, "Do you need help? Ellie!"
"No, no, I can stand it, captain. We killed those bitch Germans at the intersection of the levee and the ferry. They were driven back to the ferry by us. I was a little injured and was going to stay there, but Lieutenant Parks insisted that I come back. So--" Ellie said, making a helpless move.
"You did a good job! Ellie, you're hurt. Go to the first aid station quickly!" Winters looked at Avery and added, "Are you sure you don't need help?"
"No, this little injury is nothing. I could have continued to fight!" Ellie said, "I don't want to be a non-staff member who has lost combat effectiveness."
"Very good!" After Winters looked at his leg and made sure that he was really not in the way, he nodded and said, "You've done a good job, Ellie, don't blame yourself, you're great!" See you later!" Winters nodded to him, and then said to Nixon, "Let's go over there, Nick, Parks has solved a big problem for us!"
"It also relieved Colonel Sink's big trouble!" Nixon smiled, and then jumped into a jeep with Winters and drove towards the embankment.
"Oh, I'm so damned. Obviously, I need help!" Ellie suddenly muttered to herself, "It seems that pretending to be a good man is really tormenting!" He then limped towards the medical station. Every step he took, he couldn't help gasping and making a cry like toothache.
Parks did relieve Colonel Sink's big trouble, because Colonel Sink finally took the initiative to attack, and the timing was very correct, so that the German 363rd Division's attack seemed hasty and chaotic. Obviously, they were finally repulsed by the 506th Regiment. And when they gathered, they were hit hard by the British artillery, and at least for a period of time in the future, they were unable to attack again. Parks successfully sniped the two infiltrating companies, avoiding the possibility of chaos and heavy casualties caused by attacks on the battalion and regimental headquarters.
