Rosen's move instantly reversed the precarious situation.
Although they have been forced to retreat to the bridge, and although the German offensive is still continuing, and there are armored vehicles trying to break through the defense line, they are far less threatening than the rampaging Tiger tank just now. bigger.
If Rosen hadn't miraculously destroyed it single-handedly, when it really broke through the defense line and was about to occupy the bridge, Captain Miller would have blown up the bridge without hesitation according to Captain Miller's original plan.
Now, the biggest problem has been solved, and all that remains is to withstand the German attack.
With the guns and ammunition that Rosen had collected before, Captain Miller and others, who had not lost a lot of personnel, were able to hold on.
In fact, when Sergeant Mike killed an armored vehicle with a rocket, US air support also roared in.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly became clear and optimistic.
But there was no smile on Rosen's face, because he didn't receive the reminder that the adventure was about to end and he could return at any time.
"Assistant, what's going on?" Rosen asked in his mind.
"You perfectly saved Private Ryan and saved the lives of many people. The current adventure is coming to an end. If you want, you can return at any time."
The assistant is as usual. He replied businesslikely: "You can also stay in this world for another 7 days, looking for opportunities to start new adventures, or wait until time runs out before returning to the shelter space."
"About new adventures , can you give me some tips?" Rosen asked.
"It is related to the adventure experience of the agent, so you need to explore it on your own. I am sorry that I cannot provide you with any help."
Rosen simply ignored it and drove to the mountain. There must be a road ahead. At worst, if you play for a few days and then come back, it won't be a loss anyway.
With the continuous arrival of reinforcements, Rosen and Ryan, who were temporarily recruited to guard the bridge, could naturally leave.
After saying goodbye to the brothers who had gone through life and death together, Ryan followed Captain Miller and his commando team to the division headquarters, and then took a plane to the UK and then back to the United States.
Of course it was impossible for Rosen to leave the battlefield like him, but he also benefited from Ryan's favor and walked with Captain Miller and others for a while.
On the way, I heard that Company E was resting at a place called St. Gumdemont, so I said goodbye to Ryan, Captain Miller and others and rushed there.
After returning to the team, Rosen discovered that the company he was in was actually the E Company from the American TV series: Band of Brothers, so most of them were familiar faces.
This made him feel that it was not so difficult to integrate into it.
The fully staffed E Company has 132 soldiers and 8 officers, consisting of 3 platoons and 1 company headquarters.
Each platoon has three 12-man rifle squads and one 6-man mortar team.
As a lightIn the infantry company, each rifle squad of Company E is equipped with a machine gun, and each mortar group is equipped with a 60 mm mortar.
After just experiencing the Normandy landing, E Company had lost a lot of its members, and some of them, like Rosen, were coming back from all over the place.
Rosen, who is only a private, is a member of the rifle class. It is worth mentioning that he has two close friends: Sergeant George Lutz and Corporal Bill Randleman.
The former is good at imitation and is very popular in the company, while the latter is strong, steady and very trustworthy, and is nicknamed Daniel by everyone.
"Hey, hey, look who I found." From a distance, George Lutz's voice reached Rosen's ears.
He rushed over with a smile, gave Rosen a big hug, and then said: "I haven't seen you since the skydiving. I thought you were blown back to the United States by the wind, Daniel. He even cried twice."
Randleman, who was standing aside, did not retort. He just came over and gave Rosen a hug and said, "Just come back."
"Thank you." Rosen responded to their concern with a smile, and then told George about his experiences in the past two days when asked.
"No wonder I can't find you. It turns out that you were temporarily transferred to another place." George suddenly realized, and then said: "I have heard of this Ryan you are talking about. It seemed that you were there before. We even drank.”
During the chat between us, Rosen gradually understood the general situation, and his eyes were not blank.
Although E Company was resting at this time, it was actually not very peaceful.
Enemy snipers' cold shots and occasional counterattacks, artillery and mortar bombardments are unavoidable, so there is not much time to sleep.
In addition, burying dead people and dead animals is also a problem, because some of them have begun to rot and become smelly.
As long as there is no requirement or duty to do duty, Rosen will basically not stay in the camp.
Sometimes I go to a deserted place in the wild to brush up on my skill proficiency, and sometimes I take the M1 Garand to kill a few snipers.
Most of the time, George stole wine.
The most indispensable thing in France stationed at this time is all kinds of wine, brandy and various varieties of fine wine. The quality is so good and the variety is beyond the reach of the vast majority of American soldiers with ordinary backgrounds. Arrived.
Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally drink as much as I can, and it’s not a loss anyway.
Of course Rosen doesn’t need to follow the three rules and eight points of attention from foreigners, so in addition to tasting, he always puts them in his own storage compartment.
It’s just that this happy time is always short.
"E Company is setting off..." Lieutenant Harry Welsh shouted loudly.
Looking at everyone gathering quickly, he continued: "Attention, it is getting dark. From now on, I will implement noise and light control. No talking, no smoking, and no smoking.Aim for the ass of the person in front, Lutz..."
"Where are we going, Lieutenant? "Someone asked.
"Go and capture Carrington. Lieutenant Welsh explained while carrying his bag: "That is the only channel that the armored forces at Omaha and Utah Beach can pass through. Before we take Carrington, they will be trapped on the beach. General Taylor has already sent The entire division..."
"Brothers, remember..." George Lutz imitated General Taylor's tone and said: "You fight hard for three days and three nights, and I will give you a vacation. ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
June 12, 1944.
Carrington City.
The target was the German army A T-shaped intersection guarded by a battalion of the 6th Parachute Infantry Regiment. The last 100 meters or so of the road through the intersection is straight and gently downhill, with a shallow drainage ditch on both sides of the road.
E Company was ordered to advance directly along the road, F Company was on the left flank, and D Company was in reserve. It was expected to join the 327th Regiment coming from the north after entering Carrington.
Everything was quiet.
At 6 o'clock, acting company commander Lieutenant Winters gave the order: "Start the attack. ”
Lieutenant Welsh took the lead and led the 1st Platoon towards the T-intersection 50 meters away.
At this time, the German machine gun opened fire, and the bullets were like splashing water. It seemed to be shooting towards the road.
It was stuck in a perfect position, and the timing of shooting was also terrible, so the 1st platoon led by Welsh was broken into two pieces.
