Chapter 59 The Battle of Brekut Manor (Part 2)
"Hey, are you E company?" A voice came from behind Parks, and a second lieutenant was lying on the edge of the trench, looking at Parks, Grenari and others in the trench.
"Who are you?" Parks shrank his head and looked at him, as if he was a little familiar.
Second Lieutenant said, "I'm Second Lieutenant Andrew Hill, the staff officer of the regiment. I was separated while parachuting. I heard gunfire here. I think I can find you. Now I prove that my guess is right. Can you tell me where the regimental department is now? Hill smiled proudly.
"Behind that!" Parks pointed to the back and shouted, "Maybe there is, at least there is a battalion there. You go there and find Lieutenant Colonel Stryll. He may be able to tell you the specific location of the regimental headquarters.
"Thank you!" Second Lieutenant Hill nodded, then raised his head and looked back. "Is your name Parks? I saw you in the regimental headquarters, just now..." The voice suddenly stopped abruptly, and a stream of blood came out from the middle of his helmet. His forehead helmet was pierced by MG42 machine gun bullets, and his head drooped and died.
Gnery was stunned and subconsciously shrank his head from the trench.
After this incident, Winters reminded everyone to shrink in the trenches as much as possible and exercise with the cat's waist. The German machine gun fire was almost uninterrupted, and the bullets flew against the top of the trench.
At this time, a team of six people behind Winters rushed over with bullets and jumped into the trench.
"Lieutenant Winters, I heard that you need ammunition, and I brought some!" It was Lieutenant Spiel who rushed over with five reinforcements. They brought 3 boxes of ** explosives and some phosphorus-burning grenades, as well as some machine guns and rifle bullets.
"Everyone try their best to take it!" Winters shouted loudly.
"What's going on now?" While shooting, Spiel thought of Winters.
Winters pointed forward with his hand: "There is still the last gun left, but the German machine guns are tightly sealed, and there are two machine guns firing continuously, which increases our difficulties."
Sbier half showed his head, observed the fort in front of him for a while, and then shouted to Winters, "Lieutenant Winters, can you let Company D try to capture the last cannon?"
Winters took a look at him and nodded: "No problem, lieutenant! Please go ahead!"
Sbyl shouted loudly, "Brothers of Company D, let's go." With that, he took the lead in jumping out of the trench and launched an attack on the last cannon.
When the last man jumped out of the trench, he threw a grenade at the German fort, but he stood too straight, and a burst of machine gun bullets shot over, "poo" "poo" "poo" "poo" ... dense bullets hit him, running through his shoulders and back. He fell into the trench, and his mouth was full of blood.
"My God, he's dead!" White couldn't help shouting, and he felt a panic in his heart.
"It's the 'old stubborn' Hodge of F Company, but I don't know how he got involved with D Company." Grenari glanced at the body, curled his lips, then clicked, loaded the bullet, lay down in the trench and shot at the German position.
"Cop, machine gun full cover D company!" Winters greeted Christenson and Carbo loudly. This made them wake up from the shock, pulling the trigger with their fingers and pouring the bullets on the Germans.
Sbier did not pause at all because of Hall's death. They attacked the German fort as if they were crazy along the fence. Bullets flew over their heads, crackling and crackling on the fence, and the dirt around them splashed and scattered everywhere.
"Hurry up, don't stop!" Spiel urged his brothers loudly. Everyone was very nervous. They ran forward desperately, and the German machine gun bullets seemed to be chasing them.
A man fell down, and someone shouted, "Robert is finished!"
"Don't stop." While shooting, Bill shouted, "Scott, keep up!"
Private Scott only felt that his heart was about to pop out of his throat, and he felt that he was almost out of breath. He followed Sbyl, holding the M1 Galand rifle. He didn't dare to stop for a moment, let alone run and shoot like Sbyl. He was afraid that as soon as he shot, he would stop, and he would be hit by the frightening GM42 machine gun bullets.
"Grenade!" Spiel suddenly shouted at Scott. Then he threw a grenade at the German position. Scott subconsciously stretched out his hand to take out the grenade. Then his footsteps paused for a moment.
"Puff" and "Puff" are like the sound of a wooden stick hitting the broken 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 took his body back a few steps, but he didn't fall down.
"Did you get shot?" Scott stretched out his hand and touched the place where he was hit, but touched the blood in one hand. I was shot. He wanted to shout loudly, just like the other wounded he saw, and then he cried heartbreakingly.
"Ah--" He opened his mouth in a panic.
"Poo" was the sound of another bullet passing through the body. His head was hit, and his face was splashed with brain and blood. His cry seemed to be suddenly broken by someone. He fell to the ground.
"Scott is dead!" Someone in the team shouted.
Several explosions of "Boom--" sounded from the German artillery position. Spiel had rushed up and shot at the Germans with a Thomson submachine gun. The remaining few kept firing, knowing that the magazine had bounced out of the gun, and the Germans had long been dead.
"It's crazy that they actually left the trench and charged directly to the Germans." Compton looked at them incredulously and opened his mouth in shock, "Oh, my God, what are they doing?"
As he was speaking, suddenly another person fell in front of the German position.
"My God!" Winters couldn't help shouting.
Parks knew that Sbier was so crazy that he walked through the rain of bullets, regardless of casualties, and only his good luck. He was not hit many times. What a piece of shit.
At this time, the gunfire of the fort had stopped, and Speer faced Winters and others, waving at them and gesturing - success!
Winters gave him a thumbs up. This really requires courage to charge. Winters thinks that he will definitely not be so hard in such a situation.
Spear destroyed the gun and then rushed to meet Winters. Many of the brothers of E Company looked at him with very strange eyes, but the shock brought by such a charge could not be calmed down for a long time. Maybe this is the first frontal charge on the battlefield they have seen.
"Dad..." At this time, a dense machine gun shot came from Brekut Manor. He beat the dirt and branches around them everywhere.
"At least four GM42 machine guns!" Parks looked at the direction of the manor and judged.
"You are right. Maybe it's time for us to retreat." Winters also looked at the manor and the four cannons, which had all been destroyed. Now that it has been destroyed, it doesn't make much sense to stay here.
"Let's go back!" Winters gave the order, "Christenson, you withdraw first."
The machine gunners left first, then Parks and the others, and Winters was the last to retreat.
"I can't believe we killed 20 Germans!" After retreating to the safe area, White couldn't help smiling proudly at Parks. After being nervous and relaxed, he remained excited.
"There are still 4 prisoners!" Parks added at this time.
At this time, Malachi came over with four prisoners, then looked at Parks and shouted at the four prisoners, "Hey, Germans, hurry up, you damn scum."
Stryr spoke highly of Winters's action.
"There are about 50 people stationed there in a platoon of the German Sixth Parachute Regiment! This is what our latest intelligence shows. It can be seen that Stry's mood is very good.
"Yes, I think we should kill 20 of them, but they have arranged at least four MG42 machine guns in the back, and all the cannons have been destroyed, so we are back." Winters nodded. And we also defeated one of their artillery companies, and the gunners fled. They may be scared. Then he said goodbye.
After a while, Stryll called Winters over again.
"What you destroyed was a German artillery company that guarded the No. 2 cause and controlled Utah Beach. You saved them, and I'm proud of you!" This is the most relieving sentence Stry said. The success of this attack has played a great role in the landing and greatly reduced the casualties of the landing troops. The commander of the landing troops just now called to thank him, and he also learned from the captured documents that there was a telephone connecting the No. 2 dike. There is an observation post in a bunker at the exit of the road. They have been reporting the location of the 4th Infantry Division in order to hit the landing troops. He called Winters and congratulated him in person. This is also the honor of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
