Kelly's Heroes Page #5

out of you, you hear me?

I want to know why this loser of a general

is keeping me the hell out of Nancy!

We haven't got the supplies.

It's a matter of logistics.

- Logistics?

- Yes, sir.

We've got logistics coming out of our ears!

What we need is fighting spirit!

The will to win!

Where are those aerial photographs?

I'm sorry. They don't seem to be here.

They don't what?

I can't locate them, sir.

Did you lose my aerial photographs?

It looks to me

like there ain't no bridges still up.

What's this here?

It's a bridge.

It looks like some kind of railroad bridge.

Beautiful.

Even if we make that...

...we've still got a river to cross later on.

Right over there.

Let Kelly worry about that. Our problem is

getting through German lines.

Right.

How?

It's a railroad bridge, ain't it?

Yeah.

Then, beautiful.

We swing down onto the railroad tracks

and over the mother bridge.

Sure!

Suppose the bridge ain't there?

Don't hit me with negative waves

so early in the morning.

Think that bridge will be there

and it will be there.

It's a mother, beautiful bridge

and it's gonna be there.

Okay?

Okay, Chief.

Okay.

Mount up.

How many, Grace?

Eight.

- Penn?

- Seven.

How many, Kelly?

Three's fine.

Cowboy?

About six and I figure about eight loose.

How about you, Willard?

About the same.

How many clips did you use last night?

- About eight.

- Eight!

You're trigger-happy, Gutkowski.

Here's two more.

Take it easy, okay?

Take it easy.

Want some K rations, Crapgame?

No, thanks, kid.

I could use some water.

Do you got any water?

I'm gonna get some water, okay, kid?

Hey, who are you writing to?

Your mother?

Yeah.

Do you write often?

Yeah.

Where are you from?

Indianapolis.

Do you miss your mother?

Yeah.

Good talking to you, kid.

Big Joe wants to see you

over at the command jeep.

Something wrong?

Yeah, just a few little things, Kelly.

According to this map...

...we got a river to cross before we get

into this town of yours.

Yeah, well, there's a bridge right here.

Six miles out.

There was a bridge.

The Air Corps knocked every bridge

out of that river months ago.

The Air Corps knocks them out by day

and the Germans rebuild them by night.

All we have to do is get there tomorrow

at dawn and we've got ourselves a bridge.

How about the German Army?

Do you think they'd mind us

crossing their bridge?

Probably.

Do you know something, Kelly?

I think you're crazy.

Better yet, I think I'm crazy!

How did I let you talk these guys into this?

Push 30 miles behind enemy lines,

take a bridge held by Germans...

...then go into a town that we don't know

how many German soldiers are guarding!

I figure there's between 30 and 40 troops

in that town.

All right. How did you figure that?

Well, it's of no military importance.

It's not big enough for a garrison.

You didn't answer the question!

How did you figure 30 or 40 men?

Because that's the normal amount

of support for three Tiger tanks.

Tigers?

Where did the Tigers come from?

That's why we have Oddball

and his Shermans.

Does he know about the Tigers?

Not yet.

You bet your sweet ass he doesn't!

Or he'd still be on that funny farm of his!

He may be nuts, but he's not crazy enough

to put Shermans up against Tigers!

Once these things get rolling, they'll blow

that whole town to pieces, including us!

You're too smart to let that happen, Joe.

You'll figure us a way in and out

of that town.

I know you have a good head for tactics.

And I intend to keep it right here

on my shoulders, Kelly.

With these Tigers, this operation goes

above and beyond the call of duty!

That's right, Joe.

$16 million, above and beyond.

Hey, look, Kelly.

You're pressing their luck.

They've only got so much of it left.

It's a long, long way to Berlin.

And they'll need every inch of that luck

before this cockamamie war is over!

Cover!

Come on, on the double!

Let's get the equipment out of the trucks!

On the double, move it out! Here.

Cover!

Take cover!

That idiot's one of ours!

Holy crap!

Our hero.

This is crazy, isn't it, Willard?

- Anybody get the plane's number?

- Why? Who'll you complain to?

Move it out, move it out.

- Still think we can make it, wise guy?

- We can still try.

Well, Oddball better show up, Kelly.

That's all I got to say, he'd better show up.

Move it out!

- How is it?

- Shot!

- There's a hole right through the cylinder.

- How about the radio equipment?

The pack radio is okay.

The rest has had it.

Pick it up and take it with you.

I got your equipment, Joe.

Bring it.

I told you! We should've never gone in

on this deal.

Well, you never told me!

Yes, I did.

Is this why we pay taxes?

To be bombed by our own Air Force?

Damn right!

What do we do now?

Pick up our equipment and get out of here

before a German patrol comes along.

That's great.

Let's move the stuff up to the wall,

on the double!

- Everybody all right?

- I think so.

What happened, Joe?

- Where the hell have you been?

- I had to go.

We all have to go!

Come on! We've got 20 miles to walk

and 9 hours to walk it in, so move it out!

Big Joe?

Must I carry all this equipment, the satchel

and the.30 caliber machine gun, too?

Give the.30 caliber to the Hustler.

He wants to be a hero.

Here you are, old buddy.

Thanks! Get yourself a bucket of grits!

All right, Corporal, let's go.

Move them out!

Move it out, Penn!

It's a long way.

Move it out!

Kelly, get on the point.

Why did you get me elected to carry this?

You wanted in on this?

Then learn to carry your own load.

Come on, move it out!

Yeah, up yours!

Take it easy, take it easy.

Okay, hold it. Hold it!

It looks like we've got

a military installation up ahead.

Make it the same deal as before.

We'll go into a triangular formation.

I'll go down the slot.

Moe, you go down the right flank.

Whiskey, down the left. Keep it tight.

Don't break it up until I give you the word.

Okay, button up and let's go.

Fire!

Fire!

Hit it!

All right, lay four rounds in there heavy!

Come on, move it! Move it!

Hit it!

Fire!

Fire!

Bring it around, Howard!

Hit it!

- All right, let's go, Petuko.

- Right, Joe.

Move them out, Corporal.

Let's go, Babra.

Wake up, Gutkowski. Let's go.

All right, Hustler, let's go.

This was your idea. How come

we don't go back to our own lines?

It's further back

than it is to where we're going.

I know what. Let's surrender. I'm hungry.

All right! I buy it.

I'll make you $50

if you carry the machine gun.

You got it on you?

- Don't you trust me?

- No, I don't.

What do you think I am, a vault?
