: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.
:32:02
No use trying to crawl it.
There's no cover.
:32:07
400 yards in battle gear
is too far to run,
:32:09
so we'll walk the first half
and then we'll kick out.
:32:15
And pray. What do you think?
:32:18
- It could be a real, real crock, sir.
- Get the men moving.
:32:23
- I'll be with you in a minute.
- Yes, sir.
:32:31
That's a mighty fine platoon sergeant
you got there.
:32:34
The best.
:32:41
And he's not gonna wind up
in any wringer.
:32:44
Him nor any of the rest of my men.
:32:47
- What do you mean by that?
- Just this.
:32:50
We can take that house all right
but, boy, l'd hate to get stuck with it.
:32:55
- You get into trouble, we'll back you up!
- I know, l got your word on it.
