The Devil's Brigade Page #7

Stay low. Fix your gear.

Spread out. Keep down.

Keep down.

- Give 'em hell!

- Cover fire!

Come on, you don't live forever.

Bastards!

- Move out.

- Come on! Let's go!

Look out, Bronc!

- We made it. By God, we made it.

- Not yet. Keep the fire up.

Damn right. We'll keep it up.

Medic!

- Help me.

- Don't worry.

I fix you good. Don't worry, bad boy.

Give my love to your wife.

Cover me, Colonel!

Damn it to hell. Medic!

- Keep moving.

- Shove it!

- Keep moving!

- Medic!

Come on.

I can't...

All right! Come on!

Keep down over there.

Fan out and keep moving.

Medic!

There you are, my friend.

The pain will be gone in one minute.

Be right back.

- How 'bout the bullet?

- We have no doctor here.

We'll get him down the hill

as soon as we can.

How soon?

When we have men to carry him,

if he's still alive.

Tony, I need a big crowd

to help carry a wounded man.

- Take your pick.

- You. Get up.

You speak English?

Never mind. It don't matter. Come on.

Pick him up. Up!

Easy.

What?

- Put me down.

- Okay. Over there.

Water.

Don't be stupid. You got a belly wound.

You get no water, so just go to sleep.

Rocky!

Peacock!

No!

Come on. Let's go.

- Keep 'em covered.

- Let's do it. Let's go.

Get going.

Hold the mortars!

Cease fire.

Keep 'em covered.

Major, this is your white flag.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you very much, indeed.

I'm ready to discuss surrender

under the following conditions...

You'll discuss nothing.

You'll keep your mouth shut and listen

while I tell you the conditions.

Keep me covered. Watch them.

Come on out of there. Come out!

Come on! Move it!

He's dead, sir. Come on.

There may be a counterattack.

We've got to be ready.

See that we are.

How about reporting to Gen. Hunter?

Shall I do that?

No, I will. Take care of him.

Come on out of there. Come out!

- Keep 'em covered.

- Hands over your head!

Keep moving.

Keep going.

Come on. Close it up.

Hands over your head!

Keep your hands up.

We didn't surprise them

as completely as I had hoped.

Our losses were more than I...

...made allowance for...

...including my top-ranking Canadian.

A fine officer. I'll miss him.

We're getting some artillery fire.

If there's a counterattack, we'll be ready.

We're prepared to hold until relieved.

That's all from here, sir. Over.

That's not all from here.

We tried for three weeks to take

what you took in three hours.

I want to tell you, it's absolutely fantastic,

and it's magnificent.

I'm going to recommend

the entire unit for a citation.

I want to say to you, Colonel,

I couldn't be more delighted...

...that I was absolutely wrong,

and you were 100% right.

I'm pretty happy.

I want you to give my congratulations

to every officer and man in the brigade.

They've unlocked the whole front

and got us moving again.

They say you find out what something

is worth when you pay for it.

Well, la Difensa was ours now.

Not much of a mountain, really.

But I never knew that a

mountain could be so tall...

...or plain rock cost so much.

We'd won a battle, but the war went on.

Beyond la Difensa lay more peaks,

more Germans, more bloody fights.

Mount Remetanea, Sammucro,

Radicosa, Anzio...

...and finally Rome.

As the men fought, their legend grew.

In all its history,

the force never retreated...

...never surrendered an inch of ground.

But the price was high.

The American misfits

and the proud Canadians...

...lay dead in a hundred fields

and crossroads.

Together they had built a myth.

Too many died to keep it true.
