Chapter 66 Landmines

The sun floated out in the gray sky, and yesterday's light rain had stopped. Although the sun came out, the whole sky was still dark, and the rain and fog had not completely dissipated in the early morning.

Parks, acting platoon leader, has been appointed by Winters in public. The second row by Harry? Second Lieutenant Wales served as the platoon leader, and the third platoon was temporarily held by Second Lieutenant Compton, which was also the most suitable officer that Winters could find to serve as the platoon level. But there is a serious shortage of manpower in each platoon, and about 70 or 80 people in the E Company are scattered in the Normandy region.

"Hur, are you looking for me?" Winters met Lieutenant Colonel Stry at the battalion headquarters.

"Wentes," Stryll nodded. "You played all day yesterday. I really don't want to do this now, but I want E to play Pioneer and go to Deauville."

Winters didn't say anything. This was the first time he would execute this time as a company commander. He knew that he could not refuse, although most of the soldiers were tired.

"I know!" Winters saluted and then went out. He also understood the suffering of Lieutenant Colonel Stry. Now in the whole second battalion, the only one who can fight and is more well-equipped is Company E.

"E Company brothers, let's get together." Parks shouted loudly. This was the first time he issued an order as a platoon leader. Although he had been a higher-ranking lieutenant than this in his previous life, the meaning of this lieutenant is different now, which makes him somewhat excited. "A row of brothers gather. We are going to set out and become a tactical column. Try to distance ourselves. We It will go to Deauville and occupy it.

"Where are we going?" Ruiz said to Webster in front of him.

"Who knows?" Webster shrugged his shoulders, closed his notebook, then patted his buttocks, stood up and stood in the line.

Webster has the habit of remembering, of course, not about daily trivia. He likes to write some feelings in his notebook, his feelings about this war, and his feelings for officers and brothers, etc.

"Yesterday was the longest day of my life. From the early morning to sitting on the C-47 and crossing the strait, I was still lamenting the great war and the warships on the magnificent sea..."

"... I landed in Normandy with panic, and the excitement in my heart even exceeded fear. I walked every step carefully at night. I hope to meet the Germans and then destroy them..."

"...A whole day, even if I met the brothers of E Company, my heart was still a little panicked. I didn't know why I landed here. I didn't know why I went to fight the Germans. The only feeling I had left was tired and hungry, and there was more ignorance about the future..."

"...Now, I have finally made it to the second day of D. There may be a more difficult third day, but it's nothing. I can't go back. The only thing I have to go is to follow the footsteps of the E company brothers and keep moving forward..."

Webster recorded all his feelings since the first day in the diary. He was used to thinking and was always unconsciously absent-minded. Even if his brother joked with him, he seemed absent-minded.

"Are you a little nervous?" Parks marched next to the team. He walked next to Webster and asked sideways, " Private Webster?"

"A little bit! No, there's nothing to be nervous about!" Webster turned his head and smiled.

"That's good!" Parks nodded, "Then don't be distracted. Remember, once you get on the battlefield, you have to concentrate. Don't let your opponents take advantage of you, it will kill you!"

"I see!" Webster smiled and then hesitated and said, "Now... um... do you mind if I call you second lieutenant?"

Parks smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind, but it's better to wait until the appointment!"

"Hey, Webster, you can call him second lieutenant." Luz behind laughed and said, "This is already a certainty. There is nothing to hesitate. Maybe Parks is happy now. Second Lieutenant Parks? It sounds good, but now the brothers have to get familiar with your new name.

"Shut up, Luz!" Parks couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, look, this is our hero Parks. In recognition of his achievements, I decided to upgrade his rank and let him serve as a platoon leader. Work hard, Parks, you are the hero of the 506th Regiment, and I am very proud of it." Luz suddenly learned Colonel Sink's tone and shouted strangely.

There was a burst of laughter in the team.

Deauville is not far away, but the closer Deauville is, the more nervous the E brothers are, especially those who have not participated in a battle. In front of them is an open vegetable field. They have to go through there and then follow the vegetable field into Deauville.

"A row of brothers, move forward in formation, pay attention to your feet, be careful, don't win the prize!" Parks kept reminding loudly at the front of the team.

"Winning the prize?" With a gun in his hand, Pakandi nervously explored the way forward step by step. Then when he heard Parks's voice, he couldn't help saying to the big cow Randolman, who was not far away from him, "Does he think this was trying his luck?"

Landorman bit the cigar in his mouth, looked at the road ahead, and walked carefully: "Parks is to remind you not to step on landmines. Be careful yourself. This is not a joke. I heard that when the Germans retreated, they buried a lot of things.

"Don't scare me!" Pyconti smiled. He deliberately held his head high and strode.

"You'd better listen to me!" Landorman continued to walk forward, "I heard that the thing was blown up, and I would cut off your little brother first. Did you hear that? Last night, there was an unlucky guy in the 4th Infantry Division who stepped on a mine, and then his testicles were cut off half of the country. Although he saved his life, the birds below stopped completely. It's a dish."

Then Landoman turned around, but didn't see Paconti. He was about to turn around when he heard a trembling voice behind him.

"Landoman, I won the prize!"

Landolman turned his head and saw Paconti stepping on one foot in front of him, with one foot behind him, and shouted loudly with a sad expression: "I won the prize, and I will be cut by little DD."

"Relax, relax!" Landoman stopped and raised his palm to Pyconti.

"Randoman, let me do it!" At this time, Parks turned around from the front, came over, and then shouted loudly, "Li Pu, continue to move forward with a row of brothers. Be careful under your feet, don't be too fast."

"Yes, sir!" Li Pu answered, and then waved his hand, "Brothers, go on, be careful of the soles of your feet."

"Yes, sir, am I going to die?" Pagandi looked at Parks with a crying voice. He didn't dare to move at all. "I haven't participated in the battle yet. I don't want to die like this. I'm done, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, everything will be fine!" Parks squatted down, then lay on the ground, and cleaned the dirt next to Patty's feet.

"This is a **i-35 mine." Parks observed carefully, "He has a very beautiful name. Do you know what it is?" Bouncing Betty, you can bounce up, in your waist, with a 'boom' explosion, and then we will be seriously injured.

"Oh - God, second lieutenant, please say this, why don't you say something easy?" Paconti cried with a sad face.

"Of course." Parks pulled out his dagger, "The easy topic is that although this is a big killer, it is useless in front of me. I can completely rule it out."

"God, this is the best topic I've ever heard!" Py Kend's heart suddenly had a trace of comfort, but he still couldn't believe it, "But is this true? When we were training, we didn't have any training to remove this kind of mine!"

"God, no, I have to look for it again!" Parks suddenly found that this was a thorny problem. The dagger could not be solved at all. He could only use the dagger to dig more soil around him to expose the mines more.

"Pit Kandty, pass me your brooch!" Parks suddenly said.

"Boch? Do you mean the badge brooch I'm wearing on my chest? I sent Kandhi, took it down, and he handed it to Parks.

Parks twisted the brooch with a dagger, and then squatted down again: "Attention, Pai Kandy, follow my orders. When I ask you to release it, you immediately release it and lie down, okay?"

"I know!" Pyconti took a deep breath, "Second Lieutenant, I will do as you say."

"Good, it's now!" Parks inserted the array into the hole of the mine pressure sensor and shouted, "Get down!"

Pang Kandty loosened his feet and quickly fell to the ground. Then Parks fell on Py Kandy and pressed him under his body.

The two lay down together without the imaginary explosion.

"Parks, it worked!" The big cow Randolman, who was watching nervously in the distance, shouted loudly. The whole E couldn't help cheering.

Parks wiped a cold sweat and said to Pai Konty, "You are really lucky. You stepped on the **i-35 mine, but it didn't explode. Anyway, this is the luck of E Company." You should know that if this kind of mine explodes, the killing radius is 100 meters.
