Chapter 205 New and Old Problems
The German counterattack was no weaker or even more fierce than the British shelling. They didn't care about the problem of ammunition at all. They poured cannonballs into the U.S. military's position like raindrops. Even the rightmost end of E Company's defense could not avoid being bombarded by German heavy artillery. For a moment, the trenches were bombarded around, and some parts of the trenches were even bombarded.
In the sound of the shelling, I faintly heard someone shouting, "Doctor, I'm hurt!"
"Damn it!" Cooper's medical officer couldn't help scolding fiercely. Obviously, it was really unbearable to find a wounded man in such a fierce gunfire. But he was just stunned for a moment, but he got up quickly and ran quickly towards the place where the sound came out. He bowed his waist as much as possible to avoid exposing himself to the outside of the trench.
"Who is it?" He caught White and shouted at him, "Who is calling the doctor?"
White pointed to the left, tightened his body, and shouted at him, "I don't know. It's probably in that position. It seems to be a soldier who has been added recently. Who knows his name."
"Thank you, White!" Medical Officer Cooper continued in the direction indicated by White.
Veterans don't know the names of new recruits, which used to be incredible, but now it has become a habit. Veterans look down on the newly added recruits. They like to exaggerate and even cowardly. I like to shout when fighting. This made the veterans of Company E look down on them so much that they didn't even want to ask their names again, even if they were in the same platoon.
Soon, Cooper's medical officer found the injury. Cooper didn't know this guy. He lay on the ground and howled a little miserably, and his face was a little twisted. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
"Where were you hit?" Cooper pressed him down to prevent him from rolling on the ground.
"I don't know, doctor, my leg hurts so much. I think I'm going to lose this leg!" The guy said to Cooper with a crying voice, "I don't know. Doctor, you can save me. I don't want to lose my leg. I also want to swim in the lake behind my house!" Please, God, it hurts me to death.
Cooper nodded and said, "Okay, okay, man, let go of your hand. You have to show me your injury. Otherwise, I can't help you. All right?"
"Okay, doctor, I believe you!" That guy let go of his hand.
"Oh, that's so funny!" After Cooper cut off his trousers, he couldn't help cursing to himself. Obviously, this guy was not even a scratch. There was only a thin blood stain, which was probably scratched by the stones blown by shells.
"Doctor, how's it going?" The guy stared at Cooper and said with a crying voice, "Can I keep my leg?"
"God!" Cooper called himself secretly. This is the stupidest guy he has ever seen. He nodded and said, "You can keep it. In fact, you have nothing to do. You're just too nervous. All right, what's your name?
"Harber!"
"Well, Hubble, you have nothing to do now. I still have something to do and I don't have time to accompany you. You can still go swimming in your lake now. Of course, it's just now, and I can't say for sure in the future, but it's a pity, Hubble, there is no lake here. I'm afraid you're disappointed!" Cooper stood up angrily, then turned around and left. He didn't even want to stay with this guy for another minute.
"Hey, is that unlucky guy who got hurt?" When Cooper sat next to White. White loosened his covered ears and said to Cooper, "Isn't it someone's balls blown up by the Germans?"
"It's a supplementary soldier named Haber." Cooper shrugged his shoulders and raised his hand and said, "This guy is nervous. He just made a small cut by the blown stone, but his balls were harvested by the Germans. It's really tragic to look at him. I can't help but have the impulse to kick him!"
"Oh, supplementary soldiers? I hate supplementary soldiers!" White nodded with a smile and said, "These guys are so noisy that I don't understand. Are those guys in the Army Department filled with feces in their heads? How dare you let these sissy come to our paratroopers? I don't know if the people who exclude those guys are crazy, or the head of Sink who accepts these guys is crazy.
"Both of them!" Cooper nodded and said, "This can explain!"
"I agree!" White raised his hand.
Just as the two were talking, the German artillery finally subsided. At this time, Luz's shout was heard: "Brothers, raise your head and stare at the outside of the trench. Don't let the Germans take advantage of it. Keep an eye on them and shoot when you see something moving alive in front of the trench. It must be a German!"
"Good idea!" Huai nodded, then stood up, lay on the edge of the trench, raised his rifle and looked ahead. "Do you want to stay with me, or go to the other side of the trench, which is quieter than here."
"Well, thank you for reminding me!" Cooper patted White on the shoulder and walked in the direction he had just come. The brothers of Company E began to focus on the front. After the shelling, the German attack was about to begin.
Time goes by very slowly. It makes people feel that when the sky gradually becomes clear, it is even longer and makes people's heart almost stop beating.
White lay there quietly. The nearest Hevran is about 15 meters away. God knows how many Germans will raid from this gap. Fortunately, the Germans did not use this as the focus of the attack. This is where White feels happy and the only moment of comfort.
"Hey, White, do you want bullets and grenades?" At this time, a man came from the side and lay beside him. It was Hubler. He put two bags of things on the trench and said with a smile, "I'm well prepared, grenades and rifle bullets. I can give you a little bit. This is a good thing for us to beat the Germans.
"No, no, I don't need it!" White glanced at him, then looked at the distance between himself and Hefran and complained, "I want to know why the Germans did not choose this place to attack. Our far defensive distance must make those Germans feel very happy. But now it seems that I don't need your stuff!"
"Oh, God, I have asked several questions. They don't want it." Hubler complained, "It's really inconvenient for me to carry these things. It's too heavy, and the Welsh lieutenant didn't allow me to put them down. He also warned me to go to which side to support when I needed ammunition. That's great. I'm exhausted!"
"This is your problem, Huber!" White smiled and said, "Don't expect me to help you! If I were you, I would put this damn thing down and find a place to take a good sip! It seems that the Germans have forgotten our place. Damn it. It's so surprising that their cannons haven't forgotten here!"
"Do you want the Germans to call?" Hubler looked at him, then shook his head and muttered, "You pervert! It really calms you down!"
"My God, I actually want to be with Parks. Maybe he is killing the Germans now! Poehler and Parks contacted, and they exchanged fire with two companies of German troops at the intersection of the levee and the highway. White said.
"God!" Hubler exclaimed in a low voice.
"But they succeeded!" White said, "They defeated the German troops of the entire SS of two companies. Now they seem to be waiting for the reinforcements of Company D, and then attack the Germans on the beach to occupy the ferry."
"Cool!" Hubler exclaimed, clicked his mouth, and then smiled, "I really don't know what to say. I think it's a mistake for the boss to send us here. You know, the people in the first row have been on the battlefield for a long time. Those stupid guys in the second row are really lucky. They have such a good guy."
"Yes! Shit luck!" Huai nodded, "If it were us, maybe we would have occupied the ferry without reinforcements!" We are in a row, the power that Lieutenant Parks relies on!"
"Well, we are all talking nonsense!" Hooborough lay beside White and stared ahead, "Maybe an eyeless German ran to the wrong place and rushed over to let me deal with them one by one."
White looked at Hooborough and couldn't help shouting, "Hey, man, your position doesn't seem to be here. Go back to your position. I don't want the Germans to make this place a key breakthrough!"
"Okay, good luck!" Hubler picked up the two bags of ammunition and grenades again. "God knows how long I have to carry these two bags of heavy things!" With that, he kept moving in the trench.
It seems relatively calm here, but the German army has not forgotten it. When the main force of the German army was assembled, it was hit hard by British artillery fire, which was hit hard, but they had to launch an attack in advance, but the strength of this attack had been greatly weakened. The frontal attack was also resisted by the 506th Regiment. Obviously, they were prepared.
So the Germans tried to raid from the right wing of the 506th Regiment, trying to open a gap. They shot a company's troops to carry out a tentative raid on the defense line defended by Company E.
"German army!" Li Pu first found the German army about 400 meters ahead. He shouted out, "Guys, we are all ready. The German army will raid here at any time. Stead, calm, wait until they walk in!"
Wales was also busy with dispatching troops. He contacted the regimental headquarters and shouted, "We need fire support. The Germans are attacking our position. We need cannons!"
"Damn it!" Suddenly, he threw the receiver of the walker fiercely.
"What's the result?" Poehler looked at Wales.
"Damn the British said that they were busy shelling the Germans head-on and had no energy to take care of us for the time being!" Wales looked furious and said to Gordon, "Hold up your mortar quickly. We need it to make up the gap in our defense."
"Christenson, fill the vacancy with a machine gun, and don't let the Germans have a chance!" Wales kept issuing orders, and the brothers of Company E also held their breath and waited for the German attack.
