Except for the six men at the front, including Welsh, everyone else was suppressed by machine gun fire and unable to move in the ditch on the roadside.
Of the six people who rushed out, two or three were killed and wounded, while the others hid behind a house.
One of them was George Lutz, who was shooting and shouting: "Where are the people?! Where the hell are they dead?!"
At this time, Winters also I was so anxious that I jumped into the middle of the road and shouted: "Start taking action!"
But it was of no use. Almost everyone was lying there with their heads down and motionless, as if there was something hidden in the ditch. Good stuff for them to look into.
The German machine guns locked on Winters and fired wildly. The bullets flew past and crackled on the road, but he was extremely lucky not to be hit.
Lieutenant Strayer, Lieutenant Hurst, Lieutenant Nixon and others in the battalion headquarters were also shouting: "Let them go! Winters, let them go!"
p>
“Get up! Come on! quick! " Winters was still shouting furiously.
At this moment, Rosen jumped up from his position.
He picked up the M1 Garland in his hand De, fired at the machine gun fire point at the end of the road.
Bang bang bang bang...
The gunfire continued until it ended with a "ding". p>
At this time, the noisy machine gunfire on the opposite side also completely stopped.
At this time, only Winters’ shouting was left: “Come on! "
Rosen rushed forward without hesitation, replaced the gun with a new magazine, grabbed a mk2 and threw it into a window upstairs.< /p>
Bang.
The grenade exploded, and a German machine gunner who had just picked up his machine gun and continued shooting fell to the ground.
Others saw Rosen like this. The brave men all jumped up as if they had been beaten to death, rushed through the T-shaped opening together, and took down the machine gun position.
But this is just the beginning, because it is more cruel and dangerous. Street fighting is coming.
"One row goes to the left, two rows go to the right, clearing out room by room. " Winters ordered.
So each platoon started a standardized assembly line operation mode: one person threw the grenade into the room through the window, and the other person stood guard outside the door. When the grenade exploded, Just kick in the door, search and kill all the remaining enemies.
Rosen happened to be in a team with Randleman, so they were able to clean up smoothly and move forward very quickly. < /p>
But others were so lucky
Some were hit by sniper fire, and some were even more unlucky to be killed and wounded by mortar shells. < /p>
A soldier had just cleared a house and was hit by a mortar shell as he was walking out of the front door.
If it hadn't been for Lan. Delman rushed over and carried him away, and Rosen's Prayer's healing +6 alleviated his condition.Blood, he might die of shock on the spot due to excessive bleeding.
At this time, the German troops who had just been stunned also woke up and began to bombard them wildly with mortars deployed in advance.
Seeing this, Lieutenant Lipton rushed out and stuck himself against a wall, loudly ordering his men to move to the left and right to avoid the situation.
However, he did not notice that a mortar shell fell from a high place and hit about two meters in front of him. The shrapnel flew into his left cheek, right wrist and right crotch. department.
His gun fell to the ground and the man fell down.
He touched his cheek with his left hand, only to find a big hole. At the same time, he also felt pain in his crotch. When he reached out and touched it, his hand was covered with blood.
Rosen happened to see it and rushed over, pulled him aside, and took out a medical kit to stop his bleeding.
"Rosen, how are my legs?" Lipton said in a weak voice.
Rosen knew what he really wanted to worry about, so he reached out and tore open his pants, looked down and said, "Don't worry, you're fine!"
"Oh! Lipton breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is really a great relief."
In fact, he was very lucky. Both shrapnel hit the upper thigh, but did not hurt the real body. Vital parts.
"Rosen, did you hear that?" Lipton said suddenly as Rosen carried him towards the temporary first aid station.
"What?" Rosen was startled.
"Hail Mary!" Lipton replied.
Just when Rosen was about to say that he must have lost a lot of blood and was hearing hallucinations, he suddenly saw in the middle of the street filled with smoke. There was really a priest holding the "Rosary" in his hand, praying for those who died on the intersection. Rest in peace.
Even though bullets were flying around him and people fell to the ground from time to time, it still did not affect his solemn and sincere prayer.
As expected of a military chaplain, he is a bull! Rosen admired him in his heart, but he was too lazy to look at it, so he turned around and left.
Although he used the Holy Knight's skills a lot, and even though he still had the cross given by George Chen, he didn't believe in any of it.
Instead of leaving everything to the so-called master, it is better to try to control your own destiny.
Taking Carrington is not the end, because everyone knows that the German army will not give up here easily, so a counterattack is inevitable, and it will definitely come from the southwest.
General Taylor decided to push a few kilometers westward and build a defensive position on the high ground.
The E Company will be located on the far right, facing the Germans and enduring their fire harassment until it becomes a little quieter at night.
But Winters immediately received the order and launched the attack at 5:30 in the morning.
"Why is it always us, always the vanguard?" someone was complaining.
"Because we are E Company."
Rosen leaned against a shrub fence holding his gun, too lazy to participate in such a topic.
ThisThese fences are usually 1.8 meters or even higher. The narrow ground between the fences is like a trench. Even tanks will have a headache when they encounter it.
Rosen has no sense of belonging to E-Lian, so naturally he has no sense of honor.
But even if he is just a passerby, he will try his best to do his job well. As for using his subjective initiative, forget it.
At 5:30 in the morning, just after dawn, Winters ordered the entire company to prepare for attack.
Coincidentally, von der Heydt on the opposite side also issued an order for his 6th Parachute Regiment to launch a counterattack and fight to the death to recapture Carrington.
So the two sides used their strength at the same time so coincidentally, and the fight was very lively.
For a time, cannons, mortars, machine guns, rifles and other weapons began to fire wildly. The fire was flying and the sound was loud. It was really dark.
Rosencat was in the crowd, firing his machine gun from time to time. His main focus was to make up for it. As long as the Germans did not rush in front of him, he was happy to take it easy.
But Winters, Compton, Welsh and other officers were running around the forward positions, frantically drinking chicken soup to boost morale, and trying their best to mobilize all forces to stop the Imperials. counterattack.
At this time, F Company, which was on the left side of E Company, could not withstand the fierce enemy offensive and began to retreat. As a result, D, whose right flank was exposed, began to retreat backward overnight.
E Company was just thrown on the battlefield.
Rosen, who was standing in the trench and firing towards the opposite side, noticed at this time that a German Type III assault gun (tank destroyer) broke through the shrubbery on the left side of Company E.
