Hell Is for Heroes Page #4

Any more out there?

Not now.

Think we got them all?

No, huh?

I figure two,

maybe three got back.

Think they know

how many men we got left?

If you come up

on a weak spot,

you'd send

a report, right?

When they get that report,

they'll send a platoon.

We got to hold off.

They won't send a platoon

if they're too busy.

Let's hit the pillbox.

They'll figure

it's an attack from this end.

Yeah.

If that pillbox goes...

They'll wait in case

there's a full attack.

Larkin?

No. The field around

that box is mined.

We could blast through,

but we'd need 10 guys.

I'd only need two.

No, we stay here.

We wait,

we'll get plowed.

We're ordered to hold.

To stay alive,

we got to hit that box.

It's a chance.

Better chance than we got

against a platoon.

Might work...

but Pike says to hold.

Pike's gone.

He's still in charge.

He's got to know

about any switch in plans.

If he okays it, we move.

Get back to that flank.

I'll go see if Pike

is with the 1 st Squad.

Don't make it long.

Henshaw, you're in charge

until I get back.

Reese.

Did you ever take

a pillbox like that?

Yeah.

Is that your charge?

Yeah.

How much?

30 pounds.

I saw some 40-pounders

back at that supply dump.

Good. We'll need them.

Yeah...

providing Pike says okay.

He knows what

he's doing.

So does Larkin.

Every man can't follow

his basic nature, Reese.

They trained him

to follow orders.

And you?

I trained myself

to make things work.

Not burn them up.

Here I am.

I don't know what's right.

I don't know.

Why the hell

are you here?

I came from the dump.

I got some satchel charges...

just in case.

What did Pike say?

I left you in charge!

I know.

I got started

talking with Reese...

Let's go!

[Speaking German]

[Speaking German]

Shh.

[Speaking Polish]

[Speaking Polish]

Speak English.

Don't talk

like dumb Pollack.

I teach them.

Where are flamethrower?

Homer!

Put that down,

and get out of there.

Kolinsky, get back

to your position.

What about them?

Reese will guard them.

Reese!

Well?

Get in there.

Watch them.

[Speaking German]

What did Pike say?

Forget Pike. I've got

something to say.

What are you doing

trying to run my squad?

You watch them.

You're a good soldier.

You can point out

my mistakes,

but while I'm

wearing these,

nobody goes over

my head.

What about Pike?

He wasn't there.

Loomis sent

a jeep for him.

Rumor is

the company's returning.

Rumor is.

You'll carry out orders,

understand?

Wave that finger again,

and I'll take your head off.

You'll have

that chance, mister.

The minute this ends,

I'll square off with you anytime.

That's the best thing

I've got to look forward to.

Larkin.

All right.

Let's get ready.

Is that the company?

They're coming back.

Where's Larkin?

Dead.

Anybody else?

Cumberly.

Where are the rest?

Out trying to take

that pillbox.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

[Gunfire]

Get that weapons platoon

set up right away!

Fire when ready.

Range 800. Use smoke.

[Gunfire]

[Close Range Gunfire]

Aah!

My guts!

[Coughing]

I can't run.

Oh, my guts!

Oh, my guts!

[Coughs]

My guts.

Morphine!

Morphine!

Get that jeep up here!

My guts!

Cease fire!

Get his head up.

He's drowning

in his own blood.

My guts.

Give him a hand.

My guts!

Medic!

My guts!

Keep his head up!

I got to see!

Do I have my guts!

Medic!

You go back to the States.

You go home.

If you go...

If you see my wife,

don't tell her

it was like this!

Medic! Morphine!

You go home.

Easy, easy, easy.

He's dead.

Corby.

Yes, Sergeant?

Reese.

How close did you get?

About 200 yards.

How did it happen?

A minefield.

Henshaw?

Yeah.

He tripped a mine.

He was carrying a torch.

Lit up the countryside.

Put us right on the block.

Were you right?

How the hell do I know?

Reese!

Who gave the order

for that attempt

on the pillbox?

Who gave the order?

I did, sir.

You had orders

to stay here.

You knew that.

What about Kolinsky?

What about the man

you left in the field?

You gave the order?

Reese, you're a private.

You don't give orders,

you take them.

We're attacking at 0600

tomorrow morning,

or I'd court-martial

you right here.

You hear me?

You can wreck a jeep

and get off easy,

but now you'll face

a court-martial

that will

pin your ears back!

2nd Squad!

Keep it down.

I'm afraid this is it,

Sergeant.

Join up

with 1 st Squad.

Come on.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

When the barrage lifts,

we go.

Captain Loomis

is on our left.

Lieutenant Jacobs

is on the right.

Our job is that pillbox.

Good.

[Distant Gunfire]

Let's go!

Move up on the line!

Move out!

[Speaking German]

Fire!

Radio!

Weapons platoon. Pike.

Put the knockdown tank

on the dragon's teeth.

We're held up

by a minefield.

Blow us a path through.

A wide one.

Up two turns.

Left 5-0.

Fire!

[Whistle Blows]

Let's go! Move left.

Move up on the line.

Move out!

Aah!

Aah!

1 st Squad,

take the right side

of the pillbox.

We'll cover.

Move out!

Cover Reese.

Aah!

Aah!

Burn it!

Burn it.

Aah!
