Chapter 88: Withdrawal from the town

Brewer's story was completely played into an accident by him!
According to Huborough and others, this guy is obviously General Patton's fanatical and brainless fan. The photos of General Patton are posing for photos. This guy is so good. He learns to take pictures of cats and draws...
Not only did he leave the army, but he stood there, his military rank sign was not lower. In addition, his careless action of snooping with a telescope, he was like a German sniper shouting:
Look! I am an officer, I am here! Come and beat me!
This person gave me the gift... Meituan called her an expert after seeing it...
Speaking of which, at the moment when Brewer's body fell, the US soldier who was originally sitting on the tank immediately jumped off the tank and ran towards the low-lying areas on both sides of the roadbed.
After finding the cover, Lan Daoman immediately found Chen Bin...
"Chan, what should we do now?"
What to do? How do I know what to do?!
Chen Bin was speechless...
I have not been the platoon leader for two days, so I have become a regular on the battlefield? Or is it because of Brewer's behavior of giving away a head forcibly...
This is so outrageous, it's quite... quite bald...
"Concentrate machine guns and suppress fire at the entrance of the town! Medical soldiers, bring the lieutenant back! Squad one squad follows me, scattering forward! People behind you follow me!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Chen Bin quickly came to his senses.
Indeed, I am not a military academy graduate, I have never studied command courses, and I have never been a commander. But as the saying goes, have I never eaten pork or seen pigs running?
My comrades fell to the ground and they must be saved! I wanted to save people, but there was no firepower cover, so I simply continued to send people to their heads, so I arranged firepower cover...
As for ordering the rest of the people to move, it was because Chen Bin saw that both sides of the roadbed were full of farmland in towns. In this open open area with unobstructed views, the back slope on the roadbed was obviously not allowed to stay for a long time.
Even if this terrain can temporarily block the German shooting range, it can be cracked immediately as long as the opponent changes the shooting point. In chicken eating, this is often called "gun pulling line"...
Chen Bin didn't know whether he was right or wrong in commanding like this, but in desperation, it was better to move than not to move!
“There is a farmhouse in front!”
"Go there! Be careful that there are people in the farmhouse!"
While running wildly, Chen Bin turned his head and shouted. Just as Chen Bin turned his head, an innocent "cheetah" assault vehicle passed by quietly in the field on the other side of the road...
This thing is thin and has a lot of fillings, just leave it to the "big steamed bun" to solve it...
After rushing to the rear of the farmhouse with people, Chen Bin did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Squad 1 attacks on the right; Squad 2, go to the left and advance to the small building in front!go!"
She patted Lan Daoman's back beside her and watched the soldiers emerge from him. Chen Bin followed suit. Just as he was passing by the corner, Chen Bin saw that the "cheetah" assault vehicle in the distance had been destroyed by Sherman...
The turning heads progressed smoothly.
As for street fighting, the 101st Division has also fought a lot. The soldiers were divided into three to four teams, and with the help of the walls and the cover of the walls, they advanced forward in an orderly manner.
Even though some gunfire sounded from time to time or the German army was found, overall, there was no large-scale resistance...
The German army in the town is similar to the German army in Zong Town, both of which Montgomery calls "old men and children".
until...
"Chen, come quickly!"
By the wall in Nuannan Town, Chen Bin hugged and walked forward quickly. He looked up at the window on a small building in front...
An old man in the window was waving his hands at several people, and at the same time he kept repeating "away, away!", and there seemed to be an old woman pulling his arm next to him, as if to stop the old man from informing Chen Bin and others.
"What do you think he means? Do you mean the Germans have withdrawn or ask us to leave here?"
"Looking at the direction where his hands swing, I must have told me to leave!"
Chen Bin said affirmatively.
Not to mention the worries in his heart, the direction where the old man's hand swings was the opposite of Chen Bin and others. Waving his hands from the inside to the outside was obviously driving people! But why did he drive people away?
It is obvious that in Zong Town, the Dutch residents welcomed the US military. This abnormal point, coupled with the old woman's desperate actions to stop the old man from reporting the message, was obviously expressing a message to Chen Bin:
There is something weird in the town!
"Notify others and suspend the attack!"
"yes!"
Accompanied by Chen Bin's order, the second row, which was progressing rapidly, stopped one after another and turned to a state of waiting for support. This abnormal change soon attracted Winters' attention...
"What's going on? Why did your second row stop?"
As Winters' hometown, the second row that brings together the elites of the old E Company such as Chen Bin and Lan Daoman is the veritable sharp knife row of the E Company.
The battle platoon that should have been inserted into the enemy's hinterland like a sharp knife suddenly stopped, which caused quite a lot of riots. Seeing the second platoon stop, the warriors near the first and third platoons would naturally ask why... Of course, they would hesitate...
To be serious, Chen Bin's order directly caused problems in the battle rhythm of the entire E Company.
"because..."
Listening to Winters' slightly dissatisfied question, Chen Bin quickly told what had just happened and his own judgment.
"Captain, I suggest that the troops withdraw from the town! The town of Tazong and the South Williams Bridge ahead may say that we were attacking suddenly and did not encounter any major resistance. But now it has been a few days since we landed, and it is impossible for the German army to have not yet reacted."
"In this case, there will be a problem with such a weak resistance outside the town. With the warning from the Dutch people just now, I infer that there was a German ambush in the town! They wanted us to go in and then close the door and beat the dog!"
Chen Bin's words exploded in Winters' heart like a thunder.
Indeed, the German army outside the town seemed to be beaten by the US army and ran away, but in fact there were very few injuries. It was fine if Chen Bin didn't mention this. At this moment, the more Winters thought about it, the more he felt that these German soldiers were intentional!
The purpose is to attract the US military to pursue the German encirclement...
"Okay, I believe you! Li Pu, order the troops to withdraw from Nuannan! Also notify the Second Armored Division and tell them Chen's words."
"yes!"
Li Pu turned around and took the order. Soon, the US paratroopers in the town began to slowly retreat. They had not gone too far into the town, and it was not difficult to withdraw.
The Second Armored Division is more troublesome. Their tanks have entered the town, so it is not easy to turn around on the roads of the town. But at present, the paratroopers are determined to withdraw from the town, and once they lose the cover of infantry, the tanks dare not enter the town rashly...
Seeing that the temporary retreat was a foregone conclusion, the British tank company commander was so angry that he opened the hatch cover and cursed.
"What the hell are you Americans doing?!"
