Chapter 61 Return to the Team

"Guys, what do you think I found?" Gordon was walking over. He didn't know when he would leave everyone and find a few bottles of cider in the cellar.

"Here you are!" Gordon handed a bottle to Parks, "The French wine tastes good. Try it!" Then he winked at Parks.

A few bottles of wine spread among the brothers. Cider quickly improved everyone's atmosphere a lot. Their conversation became more heated, and some of them were more to show off their record to Boyle just now.

The cider came to Compton. He took a big sip and then passed it to Winters, who was not far away. At this time, Gernelly quickly shouted, "Hey, Buck, the lieutenant doesn't drink."

When Winters heard this, he immediately sat up straight and said, "I'm so thirsty now that I need something to drink to refresh me!" With that, he took the bottle handed over by Compton, muttered, and took a big sip. Then he swallowed it hard, but his eyebrows were tightly twisted together. "It turns out that drinking is like this. I thought I would be dull and slow!" With that, he returned the bottle to Compton.

Everyone will smile. The wine bottle began to pass down again.

After another period of time, Second Lieutenant Harry Wales returned to the team, and he saw Winters and the brothers of Company E from afar. Wales looked very excited and waved to Winters: "Hey, Dick, I didn't expect to see you again. This feeling is so wonderful!"

Winters stood up and walked over to him. The two hugged him tightly and then led him to the place where the E Company brothers gathered.

"All of us are now. I hope we can bring our brothers together today." Winters looked at Wales, "Harry, it's better for you to come now. Well, have you seen Lieutenant Meehan?"

Wales shook his head: "No, I didn't see Mihan. If Mihan hadn't returned to the team, Lieutenant Patrick Swayney would not have been able to return to the team. Now - in fact, you are the leader of Company E.

Wales said very clearly: "Dick, don't worry about the leadership. We will help you, and I believe you are the same, brothers!" Wales's words were very clear. He knew that the brothers of Company E were still very invingible to Winters, which was due to the popularity and command he had accumulated.

Winters smiled and didn't say much. At this time, Compton also came over and hugged Wales, and then the two shook their hands vigorously.

"I'm so happy to see you! "Harry!" Compton smiled and said, "But where the hell did you land?"

"I missed the location!" Wales shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Then he mixed up with the 82nd Division. When moving towards here, there was a short exchange of fire with the Germans on the road. To be honest, I felt that I had walked the longest part of the way, as if I would never come to the end. I was tired and thirsty all the way. I kept beating myself up and told myself: Harry, don't worry, there is bread, milk, and roast sausage in front of me. That's it, I came here."

The words of Wales made the brothers laugh. Granari handed over the remaining cider: "Hey, second lieutenant, come on, bread and milk will be available later!"

"Thank you!" Wales took it, drank the rest in one gulp, and then stretched out his tongue and licked his lips: "This is the best enjoyment of my day. God really cares for me!"

In the afternoon, many brothers returned to the team one after another. After all, there were about 60 people, and some people brought two mortars. But the German machine guns in the fence across the road in the direction of Brekut Manor began to shoot violently at the village.

"Chris Denson, put up your machine guns and fight back those bitches!" Winters ordered loudly, "Malaki, Gnery, beat those Germans with mortars!"

"There is no base!" Malaqi encountered problems when setting up mortars.

"Don't worry about this, put the barrel on the ground." Parks suggested aside.

With a "boom--", the shell flew out and exploded on the other side of the manor. The sound of machine guns over there stopped for a moment, and then began to ring densely again.

"Adjust it, I guess it should hit them." Parks shouted.

Gnery's mortars also began to fire, and successive explosions exploded between the manor and the fence. The sound of German machine guns gradually disappeared, and they retreated.

"Look, what have our mortars become!" Granary pointed to the barrel beside him. Because of the recoil, it had been buried in the soil. "It feels like growing potatoes."

"But we are lucky, aren't we?" Parks smiled and said, "Listen, the German machine guns are dumb. This is God's blessing, or the goddess of luck is not necessarily."

Indeed, these dozen shells made the German machine guns dumb. The threat in the village has been temporarily resolved.

"Boyle, help me, dig out the barrel!" Malachi greeted loudly, "Go to the farm and find a spatula."

"Lieutenant, what should we do now?" Parks asked Winters, "Are we waiting to land here for the 4th Infantry Division or to attack Brekut Manor alone? I estimate that there should be a battalion there."

"No, not yet!" Winters actually wanted to attack Brekut Manor. "I have to ask Lieutenant Colonel Stry and listen to his advice before making a decision." With that, he picked up his M1 rifle and walked to the temporary command post.

Stryr was with the staff of several battalions. They pointed out on the map and had a heated discussion.

"Lt. Colonel Stryr!" Winters shouted.

Stryll looked up. It was Lieutenant Winters: "What's the matter? Lieutenant!"

Winters coughed dryly, and then organized his words: "In the direction of Brekut Manor, there is a threat from the Germans. I want to ask, what should we do now? The brothers are all there, waiting for the order of the battalion!"

Stryll looked at Winters and frowned: "Now we don't have enough manpower. There is at least one battalion of German soldiers there, and they are all the troops of Germany's most elite 6th Parachute Regiment. Now we have opened the gap in Utah Beach, or wait for the arrival of the 4th Infantry Division to launch the attack. I understand. Is it?"

"I see, Lieutenant Colonel!" Winters saluted and went out. He knew that Stryr was telling the truth, but if so, the 4th Infantry Division would definitely be attacked by the German paratrooper battalion on the way forward, and may lose some brothers.

He didn't say anything more, but came out to convey the order to Parks: "Wait on the spot!"

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the personnel of the 4th Infantry Division began to pass through Grangemon.

"Malak, look, what's wrong with those people?" Granary touched Maranqi beside him with his arm. The soldiers of the 4th Infantry Division looked very tired. They looked a little listless, and many people had different expressions. Some's eyes are dull, some are looking around, and some are shrinking.

"Hey, man, what's wrong with you? Have you lost the battle? Did you be hit by the Germans? Gnery grabbed a soldier with a dull face and asked puzzledly. You should know that you have never been so depressed even if you landed in the enemy's encirclement.

"Yes, we were slaughtered!" The soldier glanced at Gnery and lowered his eyes again. " Mortars, howitzers, cannons, and GM42 machine guns, we were attacked by them with all the killing machines. And the continuous harassment of machine guns and mortars along the way is simply hell!"

When the soldier talked about "hell", he couldn't help making a dry vomiting sound in his throat. Yes, they saw the mutilated limbs blown up by shells on the beach, as well as the messy internal organs scattered on the beach, the blood all over the beach and the whole body, and the painful shouts mixed with explosions and machine guns from time to time.

At this time, a team of tanks drove over. Winters looked at a guy sitting on the first tank and couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Nick!" Then he walked towards the tank.

"Dick!" Sitting on the tank was Nixon. They met the 4th Infantry Division and took command of four tanks. He sat on the tank and saw a man shouting at him. He recognized it as Winters at a glance.

He greeted the tank to stop, then jumped down and gave Winters a warm hug.

"I brought some brothers." Nixon pointed to a team of paratroopers who were returning to the camp. "They are from the 506th Regiment, and of course, some brothers of Company E."

At this time, when people keep passing by them, they salut and say hello to them. They are all from Company E.

"That's great!" Winters held Nixon's hand hard. "I'm afraid you won't be able to come back. You know, you're still going to put wine in my box."

"Has Lieutenant Mihan returned to the camp?" Nixon asked.

"Now it seems that it hasn't been done yet." Winters had no choice but to spread out his hand.

Nixon suddenly lowered his voice and said to Winters' ear, "I heard the brothers of Company E who were with me all the way that Lieutenant Meehan's plane was hit, and then all the people in the plane crashed before they could jump. Now you are the company commander of Company E, Dick!"
