:30:03
But it's rigid. It's by the book.
:30:05
This way we hold off
till we see what's what,
:30:08
then we can hit 'em from either side.
:30:10
And we got a base of fire
right here in the town, if we need it.
:30:14
Yes, sir, that's the plan.
:30:16
That would be one method, l suppose.
:30:23
Hey, Costa.
:30:26
We've got another
nasty little job to do here.
:30:29
La Nelle?
:30:33
Yeah. Division wants it occupied.
We got the assignment.
:30:37
There may be Krauts in there.
Most likely not.
:30:40
Let's just go on the basis that there are.
:30:44
Here. You take your platoon
right down this road here.
:30:48
You'll be covered most of the way.
:30:52
- You get there, you outpost the town.
- Sounds nice and neat, Captain.
:30:58
Now let's go on the basis that
the joint is just crawling with Krauts.
:31:03
I'm in there with one platoon.
:31:07
What happens?
:31:09
You take this house here in the outskirts
and you hole up.
:31:13
We hit them with the rest of the company.
You give us a base of fire.
:31:16
If we need it. Got it?
:31:20
You run into any real trouble,
we'll be behind you.
:31:22
I hope.
:31:28
All right, if you don't like it, l'll get
Lieutenant Miller's platoon to try it.
:31:34
- Are you for it, Harry?
- Joe, l think it should work.
:31:40
Toliver, we'll move the men
down the road in a platoon column.
:31:45
Road's covered till about
400 yards from the house.
:31:49
That last stretch l don't like.
Wide open. Could be trouble.
:31:54
Only thing good about it is it's downhill.
:31:57
What?
:31:59
If they're dug in, they could
give us a hard, hard time.
