Chapter 206 Ideas

The German attack was tentative. Their team was very scattered. They began to push forward after the shelling, and everyone was very cautious. Especially after the Germans suffered a heavy blow to the attack on the 506th Regiment. They seem to have become cautious.

It's actually easy to fight trenches. When the Germans attack, they just keep shooting at them. This was White's idea. When the Germans attacked, he began to think so. The German offensive formation was not dense, but their speed was very fast, but they were too far away. There was no barrier here. They were observed from a long distance and became the target of shooting.

The German army actually performed very well. They kept moving forward in a cross-section, and their charging speed did not have to be much slower than the brothers of E Company. But their goal is too obvious, especially when the sky is already bright.

"Ban!" A German soldier fell to the ground like a piece of wood after the gunshot. White said silently, "The sixth one!" The trench warfare is like this. The trenches provided good cover for the brothers of Company E and put the Germans charging in danger.

The crossfire of machine guns and the continuous firing of mortars finally blocked the German troops 100 meters in front of the trench. The German army retreated quickly without any hesitation. But the battle will not end with the withdrawal of the German army.

Suddenly, there was a roar of shells in the sky. Someone in Company E shouted: "German shelling!" Everyone lay down, and the Germans really refused to give up easily. They decided to launch another attack.

After the shelling stopped, everyone was ready to meet the enemy again. They found that the German army launched the attack much more than the first time, with about 120 people. At least five German MG42 machine guns provided them with cover.

"It's terrible!" Wales looked at the team that was coming from the opposite side, and he couldn't help scolding himself. He shouted at Poehler, "Contact the British artillery headquarters. In any case, we should be provided with artillery support. The German army is going to break through our defense line. There are a lot of people!"

"Lieutenant, the British said, let's wait!" After a while, Poehler shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Wales.

"Damn it!" Wales is cursed, and there is no other way.

Fortunately, the brothers of Company E did not retreat. They guarded the trenches and shot desperately at the German army. And the German army's advance was also very fast. Although the brothers have struggled to resist, according to the speed of the German advance, they will soon break through the fire network of Company E and fight with their brothers.

This is obviously a bad result.

"The bayonet!" Wales shouted loudly. Obviously, this was the worst ending. But the defense line of Company E was too long. Although they struggled to resist, the German attack was much more fierce than before.

The brothers put on bayonets one after another. At this time, a few German troops had broken through the fire network and rushed into the trenches. Malachi watched a German soldier jump into the trench with a gun and raised his gun at him.

"Poo!" With a sound, the bayonet on the rifle in Marachi's hand penetrated deep into the German body and made a disgusting sound. With the pull-out of the bayonet, the German's mouth grew up in astonishment and fell to the ground with gas. But this was already a little numb for Malachi. The German troops kept jumping into the trenches, but they were too hasty and were often stabbed to death by the brothers of Company E with bayonets or shot with rifles.

The explosion of "Boom--" came from the German army. The German follow-up assault troops were blinded by the sudden shelling, and they withdrew from the battle in a hurry. The German army rushing in front of them was cut off by shells and could not retreat. When they rushed to the front, there was a rain of bullets from the E company brothers. Many people lay on the ground, raised their rifles and surrendered.

"Damn Brits, they finally woke up from drunkenness!" Wales watched the German follow-up troops bombarded by shells and quickly retreated, and couldn't help cursing excitedly.

"I'm hurt!" At this time, the voice of someone calling for help came from the trench not far away, very weak. Cooper's medical officer went in that direction quickly.

At this time, Li Pu came over from over there. Wales couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

"It's Haber, add new recruits!" Li Pu shook his head and said to Wales, "I'm afraid he can't do it. His stomach was cut by the German bayonet, and the Cooper medical officer was going to deal with it. But - that can only relieve his pain.

Wales nodded and said nothing. To be honest, many people were injured in this attack, but it seemed that Haber was the only one who was fatally seriously injured. This is the battlefield, which is inevitable.

Due to artillery fire, the German attack stopped. And they retreated quickly, without any procrastination. Maybe it was because of the strong counterattack of Company E, or maybe it was the support of British artillery. After testing the attack, the Germans broke away from the entanglement with the defense line of Company E.

Of course, the brothers of Company E could only watch the German retreat, and it was methodical, and there was no sense of depression that they had lost the war. In fact, they are not a failure. It's just an active evacuation.

The brothers of Company E cheered. Although the German army had only two attacks, the tension caused by the brothers was eased by the active withdrawal of the German army.

After watching the German retreat, I was relieved. I sat on the ground and shook my head at Wales and said, "I really don't know what the Germans are doing."

"Obviously, they are about to retreat. The German army didn't take advantage of it, so they wanted to retreat!" Wales looked ahead, and except for the big pits smashed by shells and the smoke that had not completely dissipated, he could hardly see the feeling that it was once a battlefield. The Germans cleaned up their wounded and wounded soldiers, and the land in front of the trench was empty.

"It seems that we can be clean again for a few days!" Pyconti patted the dust on his body, and then sat down. "This is the fiercest battle I have ever encountered in this damn place."

"Yes!" Wales nodded, and then said to the dumb Miller in the earliest trench, "Is there any smoke? Miller, I'm not referring to those British goods!" Of course, lieutenant!" Miller was stunned, then stood up and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which was already wrinkled. He handed the whole bag to Wales and said, "I'll give it all to you. I don't need it!"

"Oh, this is too--" Pai Kandi shouted dissatisfiedly to Miller, "you have given the lieutenant a bag before, why don't you give me a bag anymore? This is unfair!"

"I don't have it, candone, the last pack!" Miller shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Pyconti.

"Okay, okay!" Pyconti turned to Wales and said, "Gre me a little bit."

"No, don't even think about it!" Wales shook his head and smiled, "Of course I don't mind giving you one when I smoke. This is the highest treatment!" With that, he pulled out one and threw it to Pai Kandy, and then he also clicked on one. He looked at the back of the trench and said to himself, "I don't know what happened to Lieutenant Parks?"

What happened to Lieutenant Parks?

Parks is building fortifications to strengthen the embankment and the side of the road. They want to guard against the German counterattack. In fact, this may be very small. The Germans suffered a great loss and couldn't recover for a while. And their goals have not been achieved. The most likely surname is to return through the ferry again.

Winters and Nixon felt the intersection of the levee and the highway in the jeep. They saw the brothers building fortifications, ambulances transporting the wounded, and some cleaning up the loot and the German bodies on the battlefield.

"Your officer!" Winters saw Lieutenant Picac, who was taking the booty, and Piccock also saw him and Nixon. He stood up and saluted them, "We are cleaning up these!"

"Well done!" Winters nodded at him.

"Yes!" Picak was a little excited. "When we rushed up, a company of the German army was in this empty place, and then we launched an attack. The Germans rushed with their heads in their arms, and they had no power to fight back. Later, another German company came up, and they joined together. But we still slaughtered them and drove them to the beach!"

"Oh?" Winters was a little absent-minded. His eyes looked around, looking for Parks.

"If I have enough troops, I will definitely intercept the Germans and may also occupy the ferry. God, Company Chief Parks is simply a lucky star. He brings us good luck. You know, we are really lucky this time!" Picac continued to talk endlessly.

Nixon answered absent-mindedly: "Lucky? Oh, tell me, where is Lieutenant Parks?"

Picak looked around and said, "Maybe it's on the other side of the levee. It was here just now. I'm not sure. Maybe you can find him there. He is with Lieutenant Sbier!"

"Sbier?" Nixon looked at Picac doubtfully, "Okay, I know. Keep working!" Nixon is a little annoyed with this guy.

Parks was indeed with Sbier. They sat on the other side of the levee and looked at the ferry occupied by the Germans from afar. They seem to be discussing something. Nixon whistled from afar and said, "Wow, so you're hiding here."

Parks and Speer quickly stood up, turned around and saw Winters and Nixon coming towards them.

"Dick, Nick?" Parks laughed.

"I didn't expect that we would find you?" Nixon smiled and said, "How's the result?"

"I think we defeated about 300 people in two German companies. Two of us died, and some were injured, about a dozen of them. About 50 Germans were killed, 10 Germans were captured, and about 100 were injured. I think that's all." Parks shrugged his shoulders at Winters.

"Which two died?" Winters frowned.

"It's us!" Sbyl said, "The two who died were from the F Company, who were shot when they attacked the Germans at the ferry."

"It's not bad. This result is for them!" Nixon nodded, then looked at Parks and Spiel and said, "What are you talking about? Les, your company is still short of an officer. I think if you raise this question, Colonel Sink will definitely pay attention to it.
