Chapter 298 Changed Order

The gunfire that night lasted for a long time, but everyone at the No. 2 post could hear the difficult breathing and moans from the other side. The prisoner who was finally concentrated by the Germans himself was shot in the lungs and struggled to call for help by the river. But no German ran to the river to save him, because it would kill him.

"Damn it, we should kill that guy and end his pain. If he is rescued by the Germans, we will report our position to them. Post No. 2 is opposite him, and we will be bombarded by the Germans. Webster advocated killing this guy with one shot. And McCreary advocated that he would be self-destructive.

"Man, throw a grenade!" Webster sent four recruits to the river, and then each threw a grenade. Three exploded and one was a dud. But the German moans continued.

"God!" Webster couldn't stand the intermittent moaning torture, which made him a little restless. He finally stood up and said to McCreary, "I can't stand hunger. I should have followed the rope that day and killed that bastard!" With that, he was about to walk outside. On the one hand, out of worry about his own safety, he couldn't stand the painful voice, which made him constantly sound the bloody scene of his teammates when they were injured, or fantasizing that he might be the next injured person.

"You'd better stay here, Webster!" McCreary stopped him and warned him, "This may be a German trap. They used the wounded man as bait and then set a trap. In this way, you will be found by them until you are killed by the Germans. Or you will stay there with the German and moan in pain!"

McCreary made sense, and Webster had to sit down angrily. The moan continued. Webster wrote in his notebook that night: I sympathized with him, alone, in a foreign country far away from his hometown, by a dirty river, slowly leaving the world hopelessly and helplessly.

In the gray and bright sky, the shelling finally stopped. But the moan continued, stirring everyone up. Cobb felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed a grenade, rushed to the river and threw it over. Then there was a dull voice, and the German's voice finally stopped - he died!

"It's finally quiet!" Webster smiled at Cobb. But there are still some strange things in his heart. How much he loved life, but now he is so indifferent to life. Webster regarded this as a war effect, and war changed many things for him, including the understanding of people's surnames. Because if he had never said such a thing before. He has his own thinking about war, and this thinking is constantly being changed by war.

Cobb was very proud of his achievements. He even went to other places to show off his achievements, but others didn't care about it at all. Capper sneered at him and said, "Who cares about that German? What's the point of killing him?"

It really doesn't make sense. But Lieutenant Welfare received another more meaningful thing. They will carry out this task again. The order was conveyed by Captain Winters and Captain Parks. They also came with them and were transferred to the regimental headquarters to Captain Nickson. They don't look good!

"I will gather my brothers in the afternoon, and I will personally convey the combat mission to them!" Captain Winters spoke to Lieutenant Foley, and then took Pax and Nixon to the river to observe the situation on the other side of the German army.

"Aren't they afraid of being discovered by the Germans?" Webster couldn't help scolding in a low voice, "This will kill us!" Because the three of them came to observe in front of Post 2. In this way, if the Germans find them, there will be a gunfire, and the No. 2 post will suffer, which makes Webster can't help cursing.

"Because it is officers who make low-level mistakes, so don't expect them to change their minds! I'd better stay in the basement!" With that, he hurried to the basement.

McCreary followed him and couldn't help saying, "Does it include Captain Parks?"

"Except him!" Webster smiled. Hee. Fortunately, the Germans did not find the three of them. Maybe they are too lazy to report, because neither side has the desire to provoke, if it is not the brain-damaged task.

"Colokel Sink was very satisfied with the investigation mission last night!" Nixon looked at Captain Winters, with a crooked smile on the corners of his mouth. "That's why he thought of another such task. Do you know which prisoners have a role?

Captain Winters looked at the German building opposite and couldn't help saying, "Does Colonel Sink know that we lost an officer last night? Second Lieutenant and platoon leader of the West Point Military Academy!"

"Of course, he knows, but he also knows that you have caught two German prisoners who can speak confession!" Captain Nixon said blankly, "About the supply of the German army and what is Hitler's favorite color. And so on, but I know that these things can't help us cross the river!"

"What do you want to explain?" Captain Winters looked at Captain Nixon.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Captain Nixon approached Captain Winters and said with a wry smile, "Coloe Sink has been bragging on the phone all day. I think he's just showing off now. I don't know, Dick. I don't know what I want to tell you. You gave him a successful patrol, so now he wants another one! He wants to expect more and wish you good luck! And let me remember to tell you how proud he is of the performance of the patrol members!"

"I know what you mean, Nick!" Parks, who had been silent, suddenly laughed and said, "You want to tell Dick that this patrol is completely a piece of shit. It's not worth the risk for it. It's not worth it. Isn't it? "Nick!" Parks smiled and then winked at Nixon.

"Ghost, I know you can guess what I mean, and I believe Dick can hear it too! But do you still have to arrange such a task? I mean the patrol tonight!" Nixon smiled at Parks, and then said to Winters, "We don't deserve to take such a risk, and we are going to change our defenses. If there are still people who die for this at this time, how worth it is!"

While the three of them were talking, Lieutenant Welfare came over to them. He looked at Captain Parks and said, "Sir, the brothers have gathered, just like yesterday's list!" Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, "Of course, Lieutenant Jones is not included. We don't need him to take risks, so he didn't participate in it! Despite his own request!"

"Okay, I'll give them a briefing!" Captain Parks nodded to Lieutenant Foley and said, "You go first. We'll be right there." With that, he turned to Winters and said, "Do you want to go with me? At this time, brothers may need you to say something to them!"

Winters nodded: "I'm thinking about it. I'll brief them in person, Reis! Let me do it!" Then he waved to Nixon. Under the guidance of Lieutenant Foley, the four of them walked towards the temporary gathering room. At this time, Captain Winters had a decision in his mind.

The last person on the mission stayed in a big room. Their faces are full of depression. They have been notified by Lieutenant Welfare that tonight, they will go on the task last night again. This makes them feel like prisoners who have been treated unfairly, but they are unable to fight. You can only scratch in the room!

"This is a shit task!" Malaqi couldn't help scolding. No one answered him, and everyone chose to be silent. Even if it was Sergeant Martin, there was no smile on his face. Obviously, he is also worried about tonight's task. After all, last night's mission has alerted the Germans. If it passes again tonight, the dangerous surname will undoubtedly become greater, and the number of casualties of brothers will be greatly increased. This is exactly what he is worried about.

"Regone!" Sergeant Martin suddenly straightened up, stood up straight, and then shouted an order loudly, which made Maraki, who was still cursing, stop immediately, and everyone stood up. Captain Winters, Captain Parks, Captain Nixon and Lieutenant Foley came in.

"Sit a break, guys!" Captain Winters walked to the table where they were sitting, took off his hats, looked at his brothers and said, "I'm proud that you did a good job last night, and Captain Nixon also conveyed Colonel Sink's greetings. He was also very proud. In fact, he was so proud that he crossed the river again tonight to carry out a patrol. "Mission!"

No one spoke, and all the team members bowed their heads. They felt heavy for such words and could not raise any interest to speak or answer. To be honest, because of the death of Second Lieutenant Huck, everyone regarded crossing the river to carry out the task as an extremely dangerous thing. In fact, it will only be more dangerous!

Captain Winters looked at them and then at his watch: "Is the observation station we attacked last night likely to explode at any time? Lieutenant Welfare?"

"Yes, sir!" The welfare nodded.

"This means that we have to venture deeper into the city tonight." Captain Winters said, signaling to Lieutenant Welfare, "Map." He pointed to the map spread out on the table and said, "This will be our new goal!" We found all the ships, so we will leave at the same place as last night. The plan has not changed. It's just that the time has changed from one o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the morning! Do you have any questions?" With that, he looked around.

"No more, sir!" The people in twos and threes responded to his words.

Winters nodded, then looked at the brothers and said, "Very good, because - I want you all to have a good sleep tonight." When he said this, all the brothers looked at him in surprise, thinking that he had said something wrong.

"That is to say, tomorrow morning, you came to report to me that you crossed the river last night and entered the German defense line, but there was no way to capture any German prisoners alive. Do you understand?" After saying that, he was stunned for a while before he looked up at the brothers around him.

"I see!" The brothers looked at each other doubtfully. Huge surprises and unbelievable doubts stirred in the chest.

"Very good. It looks energetic tomorrow. We're going to evacuate from the defense line!" Winters folded the map and put it in his pocket, signaling Nixson and Parks to leave together.

"Oh, God, they are really good people!" Their farewell was the joyful voice of the brothers and the cheers after each other's high-fives. And Parks had already expected this result, when Nixon said that!
