Chapter 53 Fear
Chapter 53 Fear
The group of six people became five people. They buried Burkes with their own hands. Parks threw away the German 98K and replaced it with Burks's M1 Garand rifle. If he finds a battalion or company, it will not be a problem to supply in the future. And it's really easier to use than 98K. A few minutes after they left, there was a huge explosion in the farmhouse. It was Gu Si's explosives that blew up the German machine gun.
Few people spoke along the way. For the first time, a brother died in front of him, and everyone was in a bad mood.
"Gordon, you and Gu Si take the lead!" Parks ordered, "Yubanks is on guard in the back." Parks knew that they would see more of these things along the way.
"How far are we now?" Eubanks muttered softly behind him.
Parks looked ahead. In some places, the fire was shining, and in some places, in some places, the anti-aircraft machine guns pulled up fire snakes in the air and made a dull sound. About a mile ahead, a building caught fire.
"In front of it is the Church of Our Lady, the burning building! I think our location is about 11 miles away from the assembly point of St. Mary de Montt. Parks said, "It's past 3 a.m. now. I think we still have about 3 hours. If we wait until dawn, it will be more difficult!"
"All the Germans woke up at that time!" Christenson interrupted with a smile.
Obviously, this sentence diluted the solemn atmosphere a little, and they couldn't help smiling. Parks didn't know what else he would encounter on his way, or Lieutenant Mihan's plane was not hit, or Winters should be nearby. Anyway, I have changed a lot of thoughts psychologically, but I am not sure how to develop myself at all, so I have to take it step by step.
"I hope it would be better for the Germans to go to bed early today!" Gordon in front of him continued to say something, and then he grinned.
Suddenly, Gu Si stopped, then raised his hand, clenched his fist, and quickly squatted down. When everyone saw the gesture, they quickly dispersed around and then squatted down.
"Maybe it's the wind!" Chris Denson said in a low voice.
Parks quickly stepped forward, listened intently, and then identified the direction and approximate position. It was a small bush in front of him, gesturing to the others and surrounding them. Parks whispered, "Gordon and Eubanks bebanded on the left, and Christenson and Gus followed me and obeyed my orders! Take action!" Parks simply assigned the task.
There was no questioning, and there was no delay. Everyone quickly went to find their place. This is the result of their more than two years of training and their excellent response.
There are two people in front of them. They are thinking about Parks's side and groping.
"Damn it, now I've lost everything except the gun!" One of them kept complaining in a low voice.
"I think we are lost. Do you know where the fire broke out in front of us?" The other straightened up and looked aside, "I hope we can meet other brothers, otherwise we can only rely on the two of us to defend the whole Normandy."
"Do you mean the two of us?" The other listened and laughed uncontrollably, "Or the two of us can carry out a landing battle. Tell General Eisenhower that we don't waste so much material and brothers. We can fight to Berlin, Germany, and cut Hitler's head with our own hands."
"I think the Germans will love Eisenhower to death now." A voice catered solemnly.
"Flash!" At this time, there was a deep voice behind them.
"Thunder!" The two turned around at the same time and then raised the gun.
"It's us!" At this time, Gordon and Eubanks stood up from the grass. At this time, they saw clearly who these two people were. One is Luz and the other is Carbo.
Obviously, Luz and Carbo were greatly relieved to see Gordon and Eubanks. Luz was about to come forward to make a joke when he heard a voice behind him.
"You speak too loudly, Luz! And it's also going in the wrong direction."
The two turned around almost reflexively, and then saw Parks, and their tense hearts relaxed again.
"It seems that we are surrounded, Carbo!" Luz looked at Parks with a smile.
Parks felt the need to remind them and said seriously, "Luz, Carber, listen, now we are in Normandy. Don't relax your vigilance. Now we are surrounded as you said!"
Luz hurriedly said, "Okay!"
"I know, Parks, don't worry!" Kabo nodded, "We were just too nervous just now, so I wanted to ease the atmosphere in this way."
Parks nodded in agreement. He knows that many brothers will think like them. For the first time in this battlefield, they will tighten every nerves of themselves. Everyone may become nervous. If they hadn't had more and richer experience, they would have had such a heart. This is normal.
"Okay, what should we do now?" Luz looked at Parks.
"Go to St. Mary de Montt. During this period, if we can't find the regimental headquarters, or even the battalion headquarters and the company headquarters, we will fight separately. We are now a combat team. If we encounter the intersection fire point set up by the German army or the German artillery position along the way, we will root Destroy them according to the actual situation. This is what we should do!" Parks's view is very clear. They must have a clear goal, and what the commanders ask of them is to keep destroying and disturbing the Germans.
Along the way, they did not meet the German patrol, but they did not meet the American paratroopers or paratroopers fighting groups alone. When approaching Notre Dame Church, at an intersection, they saw a bombed car burning and several bodies. Several American paratroopers died, and they were scattered on the ground in a mess.
"God!" Cabo suddenly felt a twitch in his stomach. He saw the body of a paratrooper under his feet. He knew this man, Fritz Lelander of Company D. The two also went to London together when they were on vacation, and had a very intimate conversation. Leland is a very cheerful person and very enthusiastic about people, especially to London girls.
But now Leland's eyes spit out, his neck was pierced by bullets, and more than one. His head was about to fall off, with only a layer of skin connected, and red muscle debris splashed on his own face.
"Uh--" Carbo suddenly ran to the side and vomited. This scene was really shocking to him. A familiar brother suddenly became like this. He
Maybe he will be like this one day. Kabb is tossed with this idea in his heart. He really can't imagine that if his head is beaten into such a rotten scene, all life will become a bubble.
"Kaber, are you okay?" Luz looked at Carbo and shouted loudly.
Carbo stopped vomiting, as if his whole body had been drained and looked listless. He nodded and didn't say anything. He just cursed in his heart: "This damn war!"
"Guys, it's time for us to go!" Parks shouted.
The firelight hides everyone's face. On some people's faces, it looks very dull. They are people who have seen death, but their hearts are not calm; some people seem to be very nervous, and death makes their nerves more tense. Some seemed desperate, as if they couldn't see the prospect of the night, and completely lost confidence in the war.
Kaber walked in the middle of the team, which was arranged by Paxter. Christian and Gordon took the lead, behind Eubanks. The group continued to move forward.
"Kaber, we can walk out at dawn!" Luz seems to be comforting his heart.
"I don't know!" Cabo shook his head with a tight face. "I don't know when it should end. I just want to stop now, do nothing, and don't think about anything. No dead people, no Germans, no anti-aircraft guns, no fireworks and explosions, I just want to stop, damn it, I just want to stop!"
Kaber seemed to be talking to himself, and his body kept shaking slightly. His steps were very mechanical, and his expression was a little trance! But his hand grasped the gun tightly, as if he would jump up at any time and shoot at any possible target.
"Kalber, it doesn't make sense to say this!" Parks frowned. He knew that all the people in the team were afraid, but some of them could be restrained, including himself. In this war, anyone's life and prospects are unknown, and they may lose their lives at any time. But if fear becomes an infectious disease, when they can't restrain themselves, then the combat team will completely lose its combat effectiveness and can only let the Germans **.
"Parks, I know you're excellent, but the German gun may be given to any of us." Capumran replied, "I don't want to die like Leland. I don't want to die like a dog."
"Shut up!" Parks said sternly, "Kaber, this is not the time to discuss this."
Carbo didn't say anything more, and he followed the team silently.
Now everyone is not making a sound. They are meditating on Capper's words. Once fear penetrates into the heart, everything will be different.
