Time passed by minute by minute, and Chen Bin and others' plan to dig holes continued...
Chen Bin, the Ruger pistol was not sold, and the 1,000 US dollars was not a small amount of money these days. Although Malaqi was particularly jealous of Chen Bin, thinking about his basic monthly salary of $54, even if he added a 50-dollar paratrooper subsidy and an additional 20% of the extradition subsidy, he only received about $120 to 30 in a month.
One thousand dollars is almost half a year's income. With the purchase of Ruger, it doesn't mean that he seized it himself. But Chen Bin is not without gains. According to Malachi, the obsession with Ruger in a row is much higher than that of himself. If he sells it to him, it might be feasible!
But now...
"Hey, brothers, Lieutenant Mihan has no news yet. Will we really be under the command of Winters in the future?"
In the truck's bucket in the town, Chen Bin, Gernery and others were sitting around. With the help of the tarp, they cooked dinner while sucking two cigarettes...
At this point, Chen Bin didn't care about the withdrawal reaction he had worried about before. He started boarding the plane yesterday afternoon, and until now, no one has had a good rest.
In the middle of the night, they were worried about finding their comrades. They set up artillery positions again during the day and dug trenches in the afternoon. They were about to set off to the south to take down a small town called Kubo.
Not to mention the pressure of nearly dying and resurrection on the battlefield, the almost sleeplessness of more than 24 hours alone has put everyone in many physical tests.
If you don’t have two cheers, you really don’t know if you will be halfway through the army when you marching...
"Is there anything wrong with commanding Winters?"
Under the flames, Chen Bin's eyes hidden under the dusty face seemed particularly oppressive. Staring at Gernery who was speaking, it was like watching a prey...
"No, no, it's pretty good. At least, we still have someone in charge. Poor Hull couldn't even find his comrades... Come, Chen, let's have a sip! Shet, he's not even old to drink..."
Realizing that the atmosphere in the car was a little wrong, Joe Toy quickly stood up and stuffed a bottle of rum into Chen Bin's hand, trying to divert this awkward topic.
E Company's incident happened before Chen Bin came back. When digging the trench in the afternoon, Malachi's big mouth was told. For example, in the early morning, when Chen Bin and the 82nd Division attacked Agris Town, Gernery disobeyed and attacked in advance and was scolded by Winters...
"Good night everyone! Oh~ Is there anything you guys dead?"
"That must be Malachi's butt!"
Looking at Winters who suddenly appeared in the carriage, Gernery immediately found the downhill steps. He warmly took Winters' words, as if the conflict and dissatisfaction had disappeared...
In fact, it did disappear.
Just like the words said on a troop ship to England, from that day on all you can rely on is these people around you.
"Is there any news about Lieutenant Mihan?"
"not yet!"
Buck, who was sitting by the carriage, asked intentionally. After getting Winters' result, he looked at Glenery with fun...
"Then you are our commander now."
"Yes!"
Although he didn't understand what the people in this car were doing, Winters turned his head and saw Grenari's serious eyes, staring at Grenari's eyes and said solemnly...
The barrier of e Company disappeared. Chen Bin also lowered his head and began to fight the dinner mixed with the smell of gun oil...
Then, pack your luggage and set off on the road!
The famous D-Day was spent quietly like this. As of 24 a.m., the 101 Airborne Division could assemble less than 2,500 troops, less than a quarter of the time it was full.
The two parachute artillery battalions, 377 and 463, were not even seen, and the corresponding environment was even worse. In addition to the sixth paratrooper regiment dropped, the 17th SS Armored Infantry Division rushed towards Carlandon...
These strategic things are not related to Chen Bin. However, the close tasks make everyone, including Chen Bin, exhausted.
After winning the Kubo, there are also various blogs...
In the past week, e has been constantly twisting and turning. It’s simply a big battle, a small battle!
Finally, the e-company arrived at Carlandon, the key point that connects Utah Beach and Omaha Beach, and is also the core mission location of the 101st Airborne Division.
Squatting on the road outside Kalantang Town, Chen Bin saw at the entrance of the town, a striking coffee shop sign seemed to welcome guests from afar.
However, when Chen Bin saw this sign, he did not feel any friendly and kindness, but instead...
"Lieutenant, this place cannot be rushed! Look, this coffee shop building is located on the road at the entrance. If I were the German commander, I would just put two machine guns in this building and completely block the road!"
"I understand, but do you have any other way? Go around from the side? But the depth there is too poor, and our entry speed will be slowed down. Once it is blocked, it may not be as good as here."
Winters also frowned. The trend of this road was simply biased to the defensive forces.
The originally straight road immediately turned around after entering the town and happened to bypass the small building. The front of the entire three-story building, with a total of nine windows facing the road.
These nine windows are natural firepower windows. Winters asked himself, if he was the German commander, he would never have put such an excellent natural position and abandoned it!
If the two parachute artillery battalions were also present, the problem in front of them was easy to solve, and it would be a shot. But now, the artillery battalion is gone, and it is difficult to threaten the German army in this building with the machine guns and grenades in their hands.
What's even more difficult is that time is not on their side!
As the defensive side, the German army has enough time to mobilize reinforcements from the rear and transport supplies. As the offensive side, the Allied troops on the landing ground are more difficult than the German army. If Carlanton cannot be taken down and the gap leading to the inland from the beach landing ground will be opened, and the troops on the landing ground will be trapped in place and cannot move, and may even be surrounded by the reinforcements of German troops...
Could it be that Dunkirk's retreat will be another?!
"You are right. Otherwise, I will change the clothes of civilians first and go in and investigate. At least I will find the heavy firepower point and then try to find a breakthrough in weakness..."
"Wait, how did you get in?! It's a state of war now. Haven't you seen that there are no pedestrians on this road?!"
"It should not be difficult to get in. Lieutenant, don't forget, I am a Chinese. There are quite a few Chinese who stayed in France after World War I. I only need a fake certificate and a set of civilian clothes..."
