Hell Is for Heroes Page #3

I good fighter.

I come up to line.

Show up on the line,

I'll blow your head off.

Fall in outside.

Come on, shake it up.

Shake it up.

What's that?

A butcher knife.

Okay, let's go.

Move it along.

Captain Loomis?

Yeah, that's right.

Captain Mays.

Hope your troops are fresh.

We got a week's rest.

We'll need replacements.

We're a third short.

We've been cut to half,

and we only got

our foot in the door.

God forbid we'll

replace you in a week.

God willing,

we'll get both feet

in the door by then.

I'll brief you.

1 st Squad, peel off.

Fill up those foxholes.

Let's go, Larkin.

2nd Squad,

cover this pillbox area.

Let's go, Thomas.

3rd Squad, follow me.

All right, come on,

fill in these holes.

Why don't I take

this pillbox?

It would be a great place

for storage.

Come on, move.

Corby, you have room

in that foxhole for you, too?

If I need any help

with the plumbing,

I'll call you.

Command post,

Company "L."

Captain Loomis needs

six more trucks for "L" company.

You send for me, Captain?

We're pulling out, Pike.

Tonight, sir?

We've been ordered north

to stand in battalion reserve.

They expect a German

counterattack tomorrow.

They want backup from us.

What about replacements?

There won't be

replacements.

We're going to leave

this entire section open?

I can leave one platoon.

Yes, sir.

You'll have to spread

your squads over an area

that requires a company.

We'll move out before

dawn through the woods.

If we're lucky,

the Germans won't spot us

and realize

how thin you are.

Yes, sir.

If we're lucky.

That's all, Pike.

Larkin.

You hear anything

about a move?

What are you

talking about?

We're open on both ends.

1 st Squad.

1 st Squad.

Yo.

Hey, Sarge, what is this?

Where did everybody go?

There was 100 guys here

last night. What happened?

I saw Pike moving out

the 1 st Squad last night.

Larkin, what is this?

Cumberly, get a blanket

and toss it in the air.

That box has got us

nailed down tight.

The Krauts

must be dug in

behind that row of trees.

Look at the smoke.

Breakfast time.

You guys

are covered here,

but walk carefully

beyond this point.

Walk? Are you crazy?

I'm going to dig

a subway.

Did you see that blanket?

Hey, Sergeant, what gives?

Where's the company?

What's going on, Pike?

The company went north

for a day, maybe two.

It depends

on what develops.

The hell with the north.

What happens here?

The six of us have

to hold this section?

That's about it.

Any more good news?

The 3rd Squad's

a half mile that way.

1 st Squad's

the same distance north.

You'll have to cover

this area.

You're spread thin,

but put two men on each flank

and try plugging up
