Chapter 262 Final Preparation

On January 3, 1945, Company E began to clean up the forest area in front of Foy. On the way, he was shot by a sporadic German machine gun, and there were a few casualties. SoVosko was killed, and Ken Webber and Meyote were injured. At that time, when Sovosco was cleaning, he missed a well-hidden scattered pit of the German army and was shot by the people inside. Then Karber threw a grenade into it and wiped out the German army in the scattering pit, the only dead soldier, in this cleaning operation.

The success of this cleaning operation was ultimately due to the patrol led by Parks earlier and the surrounding investigation activities. He constantly marked the German machine gun fire and mortars, so when cleaning, Company E's mortars focused on these places, so that the Germans had no room to play at all.

As Captain Parks often said: a prepared battle can reduce casualties and improve the success rate. In fact, the cleaning operation also confirmed that his words were correct. Along the way, you can see the German machine gun positions and destroyed mortars that were forced to fire. Then Company E occupied the forest of the defense line outside the German Foy. From the edge of the forest, you can see the German activities with a telescope. Although you can't see their cannons, the cannons must be hidden inside.

After the cleaning operation, Company E began to transform their bunkers on the old German defense line. Captain Parks also proposed to dig Parks' bunker to prevent German shelling.

Lieutenant Welsh was a little puzzled by Parks's decision. After all, in another day or two, it would be the day or two to attack Foy. It seemed unnecessary to dig Parks's bunker, but Captain Parks insisted. He told Wales, "Harry, let's prepare for the worst. Only in this way can we do our greatest. Save the lives of your brothers!"

In fact, this also proves that he is right. On the night of the occupation of the German defense line, the German army carried out a large-scale shelling of the whole position. The shells fell like raindrops, and the whole position was bombed with 88mm artillery shells.

"I'm hurt!" Someone is shouting.

"It's Heck, it's Heck who is injured!" At this time, Sdensen, who was near the scattered soldier pit, suddenly shouted, "Dam, I have to help him," he said that he was about to climb out of the bunker, but he was pulled down by Kabo in the bunker.

"You idiot, what do you want to do? Who is Heck? Kaber shouted at him, "You're going out to die. German shells may be interested in saying hello to you and then blow you up."

Kaber was talking when a shell suddenly exploded near their bunker, and the splashed dirt hit the face of the observer's Constanten, which immediately wiped his face with blood marks. The air pushed him back two steps, and then sat on the ground.

"Oh, God!" Sidenson suddenly covered his face and shouted.

"God!" Karbo shouted, threw away the rifle in his hand, and hugged Stensen. "Don't move, don't move, boy, let me see your face. Oh, it's okay, it's okay, you're lucky, it's just a scratch!" With that, Carper stood up and kicked Stensen and said, "Don't pretend. Stay here honestly!"

"Help!" In the explosion, there was a faint shout, but this time the voice was much lower. But it is certain that it is still sent by the same person.

"Damn it, where is the doctor? Didn't they hear it?" Si Dengsen did not dare to run out easily, but he anxiously beat the dirt next to the bunker and cursed fiercely.

"Do you expect someone to hear such a faint cry in such a huge explosion?" Capper pressed the ready-to-move Sdensen, and then looked at him and said, "Stay well and lower your posture!"

"Damn it, leave me alone! I'm going to save him!" Sdensen suddenly stared at Capor and said, "He joined me from Momian. I trained with him in the United States, not to leave him alone!" With that, he climbed out of the bunker and ran in that direction with the falling cannonballs.

Cab stared at Stensen crawling out of the bunker. He also wanted to follow him out, but when he saw the fierce gunfire, he just looked at the direction Stensen was running and muttered in a low voice, "Damn recruit fool, make fun of my life. I don't want to do such a stupid thing. I didn't do anything wrong. This damn gunfire!" He withdrew his head anguishly, and then sat in the bunker with a rifle in his arms and fear, no longer trying to move.

"Hull, is that you?" Si Dengsen bowed his body and ran quickly towards the sound of shouting. Suddenly, a shell exploded not far from him. He was immediately overturned by the air wave and rolled a few times on the snow.

"It's over! I'm done!" Sidenson suddenly felt dark in front of him and secretly shouted badly. Severe pain came from his back. The first thing he felt was that he was shot. But he soon found that he was just thrown to the ground, hit, and felt a strong pain.

He got up again and ran in that direction. Soon he saw Heck. He was lying on the ground, with a calf not far from him. The blood-red bones were exposed on the bowl. His mouth kept moaning and occasionally making a loud cry for help.

"Damn it, why don't you just blow me up and let me suffer here!" Heck's muscles were so tight with pain, and he shouted loudly again, "Doctor, damn it, where is the doctor?"

"Heck!" He heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw that it was Sdensen. He smiled bitterly at Sdensen and said, "Sdensen, it seems that I'm going home before you!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the doctor first!" With that, Sidenson threw away the rifle, picked up Heck's leg, carried him on his shoulder, and ran to the back. As he ran, he shouted loudly, "Medical Officer Luo, doctor, hurry up, someone is injured!"

Medical Officer Luo has run to them quickly, but before he ran close to them, a shell exploded beside Sdensen and Heck! Suddenly, all three people were overturned to the ground.

"Damn!" Medical officer Luo was overturned by the anger wave and just fell down, but he saw with his own eyes that Heck and Sdensen were next to the bomb. He rolled quickly towards them and shouted, "How are you? Heck, Sdenson, God!" When he climbed up to them, he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.

Heck's legs were cut off by a single piece. He kept coughing and blood foaming in his mouth. Sdenson's legs were blown up with only a little skin and flesh. He forcibly propped up his upper body, sat on the snow, looked at his broken leg, and made a grating laugh.

The German artillery stopped. Medical Officer Luo bandaged the two of them, and then each of them was given an injection of morphine. He called the jeep, and Kaber also climbed out of the bunker. Looking at the bloody appearance of the two people carried into the jeep, he couldn't help drawing a cross on his chest: "God bless, I knew this was the result, fool, what an idiot!" He muttered and staggered back to his bunker. But when he returned to the bunker and sat down, he took out a cigarette. When he wanted to light it, his hand holding a match couldn't help trembling.

"Damn it!" He tried twice without lighting the cigarette. He took the cigarette out of his mouth fiercely, rubbed it into a ball in his hand, and threw it to the ground vigorously. He suddenly regrets now. Maybe it won't be like this if I go with Sdensen. He is more experienced than Sdensen, and the chance of being bombed is much smaller.

But in any case, this shelling did hit the officers and soldiers who had some optimistic estimates before. It also made many brothers who only planned to dig a shallow pit make great efforts to dig the Parks bunker. Now these lucky lazy guys have also seen the power of the German artillery, and they don't want to use their lives to bet.

Gerry saw Stensen being carried away. He feels a little uncomfortable. To be honest, when he was in Momion, he didn't like this boy, but later it turned out that Sidenson was a good guy. He had a strong ability to adapt to the battlefield. When he was on the Bass defense line, he was in a good mental state, better than many veterans, and he had a demonstration role for many recruits, which also It's the reason why not many recruits have collapsed.

"You're very good, boy!" Gernelly stretched out his hand and patted Sdenson lying on the stretcher, so that he couldn't help screaming in pain, which made Gernelly laugh.

"Well, sergeant, I know you've been jealous of me, which shows that I haven't lost to you as a new recruit, but now I'm going home before you. I won't give you another chance!" Si Dengsen endured the pain and grinned at Gernelly.

"Goodbye, boy, go home and stay well!" Grenari clenched his hand and then watched Stenson being carried into the jeep. The car honked its horn, then rolled up a pile of snow and galloped towards the rear.

"Fally, how long do we have to endure such a crazy shelling by the Germans?" Gnari watched the jeep leave and couldn't help complaining to Toy beside him.

"It hasn't been long, Granry!" A voice came from behind him.

When the two looked back, they saw Captain Parks standing behind them. He stared at the direction the jeep left, turned his head to them and said, "We are about to attack Foy's German army. We will have a tough battle!"

"We have been ready for a long time! "Head!" Toi smiled at Parks.

"Very good!" Parks said, squeezed his eyes at them and smiled, "I've been ready for a long time, damn Germans, now it's our turn to teach them a lesson!" The next morning, Captain Parks led a row of people to begin to survey the surrounding environment and prepare for the final attack. In the Battle of Fouchs, Parks did not want to be the same as before. He charged head-on with the German army and would suffer serious losses. Even if Spiel later took over, Company E lost more than a dozen. Individual. Including some veterans, which Parks doesn't want to see.

After everything was ready, the order to fight was given. They will launch the attack at 9 a.m. on the second day. This time was a mistake. It was already dawn at that time, which would only bring more casualties to the attacking side. Moreover, Captain Winters was also aware of this problem, and his request to the division to change the offensive time was also rejected.

Everyone in Company E is waiting for the arrival of tomorrow. And tomorrow, none of them knows whether they will survive!
