Chapter 216 Change of Defense
When the attack was launched, the German patrol was completely unprepared. Although they had a squad of people, it was a completely one-sided raid. Spear arranged it reasonably and approved the target. Everyone had their own fixed target, decisive when launching the attack, and brave and agile in pursuit, so that Cooper When he saw the remaining two Germans fleeing, while he was still hesitating, Lieutenant Spiel had jumped out. A shuttle of bullets swept to the German army behind him, and then suddenly caught up with the one in front of him. A butt of a butt hit the German helmet and knocked the German to the ground on the spot.
"Drag this guy back!" Spiel shouted at Cooper. He turned over the German army with nothing of value, and then walked to the other Germans who had been killed and rummaged through their pockets. This is a battlefield practice, searching for every useful item of the German army, whether it is a prisoner or a corpse.
"Oh, my God!" Cooper shouted secretly. When he came to the stunned German army, he found that the German helmet had smashed a small pit, and he didn't know what had happened to his head. No wonder he was stunned by a butt for a shot.
Looking at Cooper's difficult look, Price said to Pace, "Go and help him wake up the German. Why does he still support the German? It's better to just kill him with one shot! We've saved a good time!"
"Hey hey, I'll do this!" Hubler, who was rummaging the German's pocket, suddenly became interested. Then he went to the position of the German's head and put his hand to his trousers. With a "clam", he pulled down the zipper, took out the waterbird of **, and aimed at the German company. Under the stunned gaze of Cooper and Pace, "wow" Sprinkle urine on the German soldier's face. Then he shook his trousers and said with a smile, " Learn a little, rookie! This is the best way to sober up!" He swaggered away.
But it turns out that this method is very effective. The pungent smell of urine and something inside can make the brain reflect. The German woke up, moaning in pain, slowly getting up and sitting on the ground. Although he had a cracked headache, he was able to distinguish the form, and now he has been captured. So he raised his hands obediently.
"I'm surprised. Why didn't Lieutenant Spiel kill this German?" Cooper's question came from the rumors in the company. Obviously, he couldn't understand why a prisoner had let go, so he quietly and carefully asked Pace, who followed him, for confirmation.
Pace looked at Lieutenant Speer, who was walking in the front, and then said in a low voice, "You'd better not ask me about this kind of thing! I don't want any gossip to come to his ears. Cooper, I advise you to dispel your curiosity, which will kill you!"
Cooper shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, but he still felt a little strange. From the conversation between Sbier and his current actions, it seemed to be a little out of touch with the rumored cold-blooded image. But in any case, the image of Lieutenant Spiel's eternal charge in front of the brothers is somewhat comforting.
Although it was only a small encounter, it was impossible to completely subvert the image of Lieutenant Sbier, but when the party prisoners were escorted to the company, everyone was still surprised, and Cooper's words of some admiration for Sbier also spread among the brothers. Although some images are deeply rooted, at least there are some fluctuations now.
"Guys, look what I found?" Hubler will always be the one who likes to show off his trophy. He cut off the fingers of the German body from the Germans and then took off their rings, which made Pace sick for a long time. "Golden ring, what a prickly eye!" Hooborough sat in the trench and squinted at the light of the sun in front of his brothers.
"What's the big deal!" Although many people in the three rows are a little jealous of Hubler's show off, there is always a harmonious voice to break the complacentious anger. A voice came from behind Hubler.
Hanknu, a second-class soldier in a row, was passing by when he heard Hubler showing off again. He couldn't help shaking his head and said, "This is nothing. You were still found by the Germans. Do you know what we did? We secretly crossed the Lerain River, went deep into the German territory, and rescued more than a hundred Britons. This is a great feat!"
Although Hubler is a little dissatisfied, he really has nothing to say. Compared with the Pegasus operation they carried out, his encounter this time is really nothing.
But this sentence reached Pax's ears, which made him a little angry. Obviously, the defense line to be taken over by Company E is too long. A sentry can only be set up at an interval of more than 100 meters, and it is easy for German scouts to infiltrate after dark.
"I have to teach that blind and optimistic boy a lesson." Parks sulked at Wales, "Isn't the German army so magical to us? They infiltrated two companies, but we didn't shoot until they boarded the levee. In that case, what's the big deal? This kind of emotion really can't spread in the company!"
"But we can't suppress it too much! "Sale!" Wales shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, now we and the German army seem to have accepted such a strange trench war. Their defense line is very weak, and our defense line is very weak. The purpose of our reconnaissance is not to break through, but to find out whether the other side has increased troops. If not, we have to accept such a static situation.
Parks nodded and sighed helplessly, "I hope this can have an end."
Parks also feels helpless about such a war. It's not that he doesn't want to break through, but the military strength is indeed too limited, and the front is long, which is simply impossible. And now it has entered the rainy season. From time to time, there will be heavy rain or light rain, which makes people moldy. At the same time, it also makes the mind begin to moldy. The positive psychological advantage established through several victories is also lowered with the long defensive front and time, as well as the rainy season.
The endless rain is the most annoying thing for the soldiers in the trench, and it is also the most helpless thing to curse. Everyone curled up in the trench, and they didn't dare to hide in the rain in the hole, even for a while. No one can guarantee that the Germans will come to attack when it rains, because it happened in the G Company of the 506th Regiment. In addition to a few people, many people hid in the pit. As a result, they approached the two Bunder German troops. They hit the G Company in the rain. Although they were eventually expelled, the G Company died. More than a dozen people, more than one class, which is really difficult to accept.
"So we have to stare at the foggy front where we can't see clearly on this damn rainy day?" Malachi chewed gum in his mouth, and the heavy rain hit his raincoat, making a "pop" sound, but he still had to look ahead. His rifle was placed above the trench, and his cheeks were bulging!
Toy's shoes were all wet. He took off his shoes, and then walked with both hands and bare feet on the mud of the trench. He shouted loudly to Grenari, "I have to hide in the hole for a while. Please help me look at the front. Damn, this damn weather is always hard for me!"
He was right. When he didn't go far, he suddenly slipped to the ground, causing Malachi next to laugh: "Oh, Toy, this is the only thing I think is interesting in rainy days!"
Toy struggled to get up, but the soil was stained with rain and became very wet and slippery. When he held up his palm, he slipped again and stayed on the ground heavily.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Toy suddenly patted the ground with his boots crazily, and kept cursing. Then he half of his head was half exhausted. He looked at the front, wiped the rain with his hand, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it!" Then he raised his upper body with the support of his hands and shouted loudly at the whole trench: "Who will kill me with kindness!" Then he opened his mouth again and couldn't say anything. The heavy rain drenched his hair, blurring his eyes.
It is said that Malaqi has no result. In fact, he is not much better than Toy. He shivered a little. I can't help but try my best to protect my body with my arms and look at Toy. I didn't stretch out my hand to pull him, and I didn't move anything. Obviously, everyone is numb in such weather.
Toy got up again. After venting, he seemed to feel much more relaxed. He took two boots and walked into the hole. There were several soldiers lying in the hole. Broy was roasting the fire. He cut the beef with a bayonet and barbecued it on the shelf. The beef was shot by Donat during the patrol the day before, and then they worked together to get the cow back.
"Damn it!" Toy couldn't help scolding.
"Do you want to eat a piece?" Bloi looked at Toy and said, "Do it yourself. There is still a whole piece of beef over there, but there is not much. If you don't do it quickly, I believe it will enter other people's stomachs in a while. Do you want salt?" With that, he threw a small bottle at Toy.
"You will really enjoy it!" Toy was a little moved, and then he took off his raincoat, learned from Troy, cut a piece of beef with a bayonet, forked it, and roasted it on the fire. At the same time, you will also dry your clothes. This is a good idea.
But few people like them, even if they go back to the pit, they just adjust their nerves, relax themselves, and then continue to endure and suffer in the rain!
"Are we going to spend Christmas in this damn place?" Toy roasted and complained, "I don't understand why only we can defend this front. We stay here longer than the British. We always do the dirtiest work, do the most tiring things, and then eat the stinky supplies of the British and smoke their inferior cigarettes. God, their hearts are too It's broken!"
"Don't complain, Toy!" Lenny in the pit came over. He squatted next to the fire, shook his head and smiled at Toy and said, "At least we are still alive. Even if we live in a place like hell, it's better than going to hell!"
Toy fanned it with his hand, smelled the roast beef with his nose, and then nodded and said, "You're right. Lanny, I think this should be the worst hell I've ever seen!"
The brothers of Company E have also experienced the experience of soldiers of other companies. Obviously, some people go crazy because they can't stand such an environment, but Company E has never had such a phenomenon, and they always have hope.
"Who wants coffee?" Two people in the trench were passing through the heavy trenches, and they could hear the voice of the big cow Landman, "Sergeant Tebert made some coffee. Who wants it?"
"Actually, it tastes very good!" It's Tybert's own voice.
Tybert walked in the trench with a big jar in his hand. Landorman walked in front of him, and then he saw Miller. Miller sat on the mud, his eyes dull and a little lax. He didn't move at all.
"Hey, Miller!" Typert shouted.
Miller didn't move, and he seemed to have lost his reaction. Landorman turned around and saw it, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "God, this boy won't hang up!" He squatted down and pushed Miller, which made him react. He suddenly looked like a person who woke up from his sleep and looked at Tibert and Landorman squatting in front of him in surprise.
"God, Sergeant Sergeant? Monitor?" ( monitor) Miller looked at them in surprise, "Are you crazy? Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with you?"
"Oh, damn it!" Landman cursed in a low voice, then slapped Miller's helmet, lifted her up with his collar, and said angrily, "Well, Miller, you're crazy like this. Do you know why you can't sit on the ground on a rainy day? Because the rain will make your eggs sore, then rot and stink. This will smoke the brothers. You have helped the Germans!"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Miller stood up quickly, but as soon as he had his legs together, he felt a burst of ** on his balls. He couldn't help twitching at the corners of his mouth. Then he looked at Landorman pitifully and said, "I think, I'm afraid you're right!"
Tybert shook his head, handed over the jar and said, "Take it, drink a little, you will feel better."
"Thank you, Sergeant Chief!" Miller nodded gratefully, and then took a big sip in his mouth!
"You're really welcome!" Landman couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and then patted Miller on the shoulder and said, "If you really can't stand it, then go to the pit for a while. It will be good for you. There is fire there. By the way, dry your eggs a little bit, so that you will be better and don't let it rot!"
"Thank you, monitor, this is so funny!" Miller couldn't help grinning and squeezed out a smile at Landoman.
"Have a good rest, boy!" Landoman patted his arm, and then continued to shout in the pit with Tybert. Their approach is obviously effective for the brothers of Company E. Even a little cold coffee will make people feel their own existence, wake up the feeling of peristalsis in the stomach, and make them feel that they are still alive.
Parks stood in front of the window and looked at the heavy rain outside. In fact, he couldn't see anything. The outside was filled with rain and fog. He felt that the rain seemed to have no end and there was no possibility to stop.
"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid our people won't be able to hold on!" Wales held a cup of coffee and then stood beside Parks, looking out of the window. He couldn't help but worry about his brothers outside the trench. I don't know how many people's wills have been destroyed in this damn rainy season, which makes people collapse.
"Do we need to report the situation to the battalion department?" Parks took a cigarette out of his pocket, then lit it, took a deep breath, and spewed out the squirping smoke. To be honest, he also seemed to have lost patience with such weather. There is no need to talk about the brothers who stay in the trench.
"I believe Dick must have thought of it!" Wales shook his head.
"But there is nothing we can do!" Parks turned his head and then walked to the table and sat down. "We don't even have the power to change all this, even a little bit. The will of the brothers will not collapse on the attacks of the Germans, but only on such ghostly weather. The needle is really a tragedy for us!"
"It's a pity that we are all actors!" Wales nodded, but in a helpless tone. To be honest, he felt that he was about to get moldy. It has been raining for nearly four days, and occasionally it can stop, but then more rain will fall. The only good news is that after a sneak attack by the German army, there was no more sneak attack.
After all, the German army can't stand such weather. Perhaps the German army is more difficult to tolerate such ghost weather than the U.S. military. Their supplies have always been problematic. Since the Allies landed in Normandy, their food supplies have been simple and poor!When it rained on the sixth day, it had cleared up in the afternoon. This is great news. When the sun exposed the clouds, cheers sounded in the trenches. Many people even took off their clothes and ran naked in the relatively slippery trenches. This is just venting.
"Hey, Miller, take off your clothes too! It's very important to take out your balls and bask them in the sun, otherwise you can't save you!" Marachi actually heard the conversation between Miller and Landowman that day, so he ran to Miller naked and began to tear open his clothes. Although Miller was a little reluctant, he soon became naked.
"Oh, God, your thing is swollen because of the rain bubbles!" Malaqi couldn't help exclaiming, "This is the biggest thing I've seen. No wonder it's moldy!"
"Did," Miller couldn't help covering the key parts with his hands.
At this time, a large number of soldiers appeared from behind their defense line. They looked clean and neat. One person even shouted at Malachi from afar: "Hey, primitive people, what are you doing? Oh, God, so you are American soldiers.
Some people also shouted: "Hey, guys, come here, what are these people doing? Do you want to participate in the Las Vegas beauty pageant? God, this is the first time I've seen so many naked men, more than I have seen in the bathhouse!"
"Oh, hey, the Yankees are not good. They should go to live in Canada. Our Canadian men are talented and enviable!" A group of people kept talking and laughing and approached them!
Malachi did not cover his body with his clothes, and then climbed out of the trench. Looking at the group of people, he couldn't help saying coldly, "Hey, guys, you have crossed the border. Are you Canadians?"
"Yes, may I ask your rank?" At this time, a lieutenant of the Canadian army came over and said to Malachi, "We are ordered to replace you. Our company commander went to your company. Are you the one who can make the decision here?"
"No, no, I'm a sergeant!" Malachi turned his head and shouted into the trench, "Miller, go and call Lieutenant Heiliger and Lieutenant Spiel. The Canadians are going to take over our defense line. We're leaving this damn place!"
"Okay, sir!" As soon as Miller turned around, he was about to run into the pit.
"Oh, God!" Marachi shouted at Miller, "Go and put on your clothes before you go. Damn it, don't be so naked. Are you like letting Lieutenant Heiliger stuff butter into your asshole?"
Everyone looked at the Canadian soldiers quietly, suddenly like a dream. Obviously, the appearance of this group of soldiers means that they can leave this damn place.
"I'm so glad you chose a good weather to take over this place!" Malachi shrugged his shoulders, "Before that, we had countless rainy days!"
"We were supposed to change the defense two days ago, but you know, it's raining heavily. It will affect the change of defense. So we decided to wait until the rain stops. Now it seems that our decision is very correct! Isn't it?" The lieutenant of the Canadian army looked a little gloating. He looked at Malaqi's [***] with some fun, "Sergeant, don't you think you will look more like an American gentleman when you put on your clothes? We can't talk about changing defenses to your [***] like this!"
"Okay, as you wish!" Malachi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then jumped into the trench and shouted to his brothers, "Guys, put on your clothes. We're going to leave this damn place and let the Canadian brothers take over!"
The defense change is very smooth! When the brothers of Company E left, it was the stunned eyes of the Canadian soldiers. A soldier couldn't help muttering to a non-commissioned officer beside him, "God, is this a group of refugees? I heard that this is the most powerful company of the U.S. military. It is the company led by the legendary Parks. It won't be like this?
"Why not? Anyone who stays in such weather and trenches for more than two months will be like this, and they are not like other companies, and some people are crazy. Obviously, they are much better than other people on the other defense line!" The non-commissioned officer muttered to the backs of the retreating E Company brothers.
The brothers of Company E didn't want to stay here for a moment, and the regiment seemed to have a special understanding of public opinion. They asked the brothers to board the car and leave the defense line they had been defending for more than two months.
