Here they go.

We're going to hit him.

You got it, sir.

First on the left,

second on the

left, first on the

right.

[Music]

Enemy down.

You want to

know

that?

[Music]

Here they come.

Cover me.

You crazy son of a [ __ ]

[ __ ] Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

We got to move.

[Music]

The 23rd was supposed to push into

Bishide, but they got all caught up. Now

they're pinned down.

What's your situation?

Sector 2 is not clear. Made contact with

the

enemy here.

Took out a pack gun, some 42s, tried to

pick our way through a minefield, but we

couldn't get through. They had 43s, some

Betty's, marked them for engineers,

casualties.

None this time. S2 has reports of boys

and old men from the 192nd in that area.

Well, these were SS.

[Music]

[Applause]

What do you think, Jean?

I don't think they're boys and old men.

All right,

Captain. Get back to Brigade S2. Have

them double check their intelligence

again. I don't want any surprises. Yes,

sir. I'm going have to pull the 23rd out

of I wish I didn't. They're not going to

do anything today. We could go.

What? You're volunteering again? That's

what's needed.

Well, God bless you, Jean. You are one

of my best, but you're looking pretty

whipped.

Not yet, sir.

No. All

right. Well, I got a little job for you

and your boys. Look

here. We got the 99th on our left and

the 106 on the right.

They spread real thin, lots of gaps in

that line. And that makes me real

nervous. And I want your

platoon to move into here and fill in

those holes at

Lanzerath. You got to hold that line.

When do we go?

[Applause]

Well, check with Miller over at the 73rd

Armor. He's got a patrol leaving in

about 15 minutes. I think you can catch

a ride with them.

Yes, sir.

Jean, try and stay

warm. Division Field Hospital is

reporting hundreds and hundreds of cases

of frostbite. I want you getting trench

foot out there. Understood? No, sir.

Carry

on. So, those are our orders.

Yep. 10 days pushing across roads in a

crow winterfell. And our reward is an

exclusive stay in the woods. That's what

the army tells me. On the front

line.

Unbelievable. You know the war's over,

right? Time I checked. You boys are

going to love you.

Listen up, Joe's.

Orders are in.

We're moving back to the front.

Hey, quiet down. Going to a quiet part

of the line. Plug some gaps. Spill some

holes. When do we go? 20 minutes.

Hey,

what? You all volunteered for this,

right? I know it's not warm sheets and

cozy beds, but this is the army. What'

you expect?

Grab your gear. Move in 20.

My turn.

Yeah. You see, this would have been a

hell of a lot better sleeping outside.

You did good, Rock.

Yeah. You know, they say the war would

be over by now. Well, the army says a

lot of things.

How long have we been doing this, Jean?

Since Fort Riley, I suppose. Yeah,

that's right. And the army says go here.

And then they say go

there. And now they say the war is

almost over. What's your point, Rock?

My point

is I'm getting really tired of this damn

war.

What do What do you think? About what?

Oh, you think the crowds are actually

finished?

No. No, I

don't. You really think we're going to a

quiet part of the

line? They call it the front for a

reason. Well, aren't you just full of

good news?

So, you pulling out soon,

sir? We're leaving a few,

sir. Have you heard anything back from

S2? No, not yet. Phone lines have been

down all

morning. Hit hit and miss. It comes and

goes.

I'm sure it's the weather. Yeah, I'm

sure Division will get it figured out.

Are you sure those were SS troops you

saw? Seen a lot of troops in this

area. Yeah. Give me no mistake. Those

were SS.

I believe you. But intelligence doesn't.

Then again, when have they been sure

about anything?

Hit or miss, right? Hit or miss. See,

you're still supporting that cross.

Yeah.

Yeah, I am. I probably shouldn't show

you this.

One of those.

Well, I have a girl back home,

Irene, and she writes

me well, just about every week.

Those are all her letters. Yes, they

are dedicated.

The thing is though, I haven't opened a

single one of them.

No, not one. No, not

one really.

Why

not? I guess I don't open them.

Well, cuz they give me something to look

forward to. Every time a new letter

shows

up, gives me a reason to keep

going. Get you through this war. Right.

Right.

Just like your cross.

Sir, what do you know about this sector

we're going to?

To be honest, not much. Those boys over

there are fresh from the States. Never

seen any

action. Short on communications, ammo,

and food. I'm

sure need some combat veterans looking

over their shoulders. Yes, they do.

That's why the major sending you,

Jean. To be

honest, much rather be here leading in

those attacks in the Wershed. I know,

Jean. But you and your men have earned

some rest and a little

quiet. Men, I could use the

break. I will get you back to our

sidelines as soon as I can.

Thank you,

sir. I will also get S2 to get on the

brass tax about what you're seeing out

there. I would appreciate that, sir. SS

troops in any sector is never a good

sign.

No, never is. Usually means the Germans

are up to something. Yeah. Yeah, it

does.

Thanks for the chat, G.

Thank you,

sir. You will be

missed, but good luck out there.

Thank you, sir. If you see anything, you

let me know. You can count on it.

Don't put hair on your

major. At least got one thing right.

Huh? How's the ride, sir? Fine. You tank

boys should know how to ride in style.

You say that to Jerry when he shows up

with tigers. Yeah, well that's why you

got one of these. Like shooting spit

wads.

We appreciate the mit, Sergeant. Our

pleasure, sir.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

You know, I think I could live in a

place like

this. Welcome.

Well, I can't

actually. You know, like a quiet maybe

snow covered Earth.

I really hate the winter. I've never

really liked it much myself,

but it's nice and quiet,

though. I don't like the

quiet. We haven't had quiet since we hit

the beaches in

Normandy. What do you think of

this? Of this

mission? Yeah. How are we supposed to

hold the we space so thin?

Well, young boys and old men,

right? It's another thing we haven't had

since

Normandy.

Well, must be it. Home sweet home. Yeah,

transfer here I come. Yeah, could be

worse. Could had to dig them

ourselves. Well, the 99th is on our

right. I'm sure they checked us in.

Yeah, that's nice of them.

Anyway, I want interlocking fields of

fire with the barn

30. Outposts on the heads, communication

spread down.

Can you contact with the 106 boys on our

left? Where do you want the

CP? Here's as good as any. All right, I

get Rudy over here. Set up the

radio. Hey, keep your head

down. It's not my head. My ass I'm

worried

about. Yeah, we'll keep that down,

too. You

know, maybe this quiet will be different

than

Normandy. All right, you stone heads.

Chief Sill, I'm me.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Where are you boys headed?

Lazaran. Oh, sorry, sir. Didn't see you

there.

Enemy movement.

Light

incoming. Rumor has it that Jerry has

two horsedrawn artillery pieces covering

this entire sector.

Those poor horses must have getting

worked to death. Yeah, well, I think the

crowds are about finished here.

Good hunting,

sir. Have a good one.

Major

League Baseball.

Sorry, sir.

You boys the 99? Yes, sir. Lieutenant

Kappa 23rd. You here to relieve us, sir?

No, we're here to plug some gaps in your

lines. Who's in command? All right, sir.

Well, at least uh lost Captain Watts a

few days back. Crowd artillery took one

in the chest. So, it's just you. Yeah,

we got a CPU, though. You want to show

me, sir? Just follow me.

rigged that baby myself.

See any use on these roads? A few MPs on

Jeeps came through this morning. Yeah,

we saw some MPs, too. Probably the same

guys. Yeah, I guess so. Really, sir?

It's been quiet. I don't think anyone

wants to start anything.

What do you mean?

It's winter. It's

Christmas. Germans are

finished. You may be

right. I'll run a wire over connect you

my CP. That would be swell, sir. You see

anything, let me know. Yes, sir.

Faster. Good job.

[Music]

Anything?

First and second are in position for

their push on Baller side. Artillery

preamble before kickoff.

Good. Hear anything from Kappa?

Nothing yet.

What is it?

Sir, I would feel a lot more comfortable

if Kappa was leading this attack.

I couldn't agree with you more, Joe.

And what have you heard from our friends

over at S2?

Reports are still coming in. A lot of

them are about German patrols.

An increase. Yeah, lots of enemy

movement.

What do our reconnaissance planes

report, sir? Division is reporting a

major front moving in. Limited

visibility. All planes, fighters,

bombers, everything are grounded. Oh,

for God's sakes. No air support. No.

Well, I don't know. I mean, maybe it's

just small reconnaissance in force

patrols and, you know, doing the usual

feeling us out.

Maybe

Joe, you let me know if anything, the

smallest thing changes. Yes, sir. I'll

let you

know.

What? What are they up to?

Hey, slow it down,

Mac. There's something in the

trees.

Anti-tank gun in the

trees.

30°

shaft. Still still HG

round. Target is loaded on the way.

Dig holes. Fire. Fire. Fire.

Nice shot,

Mac. Holy [ __ ] Tigers.

Yeah, you get down in this box while I

try and dig.

What? You see this here? Yeah. You know

what this

means? Keep digging.

Hey, good to see you're safe and found.

Men spread out. Yeah, I got them spaced

out the best I can. Provisions. Well,

it's no turkey dinner,

but men got food and plenty of ammo.

Can we hold

what you mean? If the crowds make a

push. Yeah.

The men will follow you to Helen back,

sir.

So, how are they over there?

They're pretty green.

Come on, I'll show you to your new

[Music]

home.

Well, definitely isn't going to be like

being back home, but it should be a

little bit warmer than a foxhole. Fine.

Right.

[Music]

[Music]

Jean

Jean, there's a hell of a firefight to

the east of us.

All right, let's go see Rudy. Yeah.

What do you got, Rudy? I don't know,

sir. I got a scrambled message from the

99 boys, but couldn't make anything out.

Line the line went dead.

Hey, you tried. Yes, sir.

[Applause]

Outpost. see anything? No, I even

checked before I woke you.

Get down. Get down.

Well, that was pretty close for two

cannons and some horses. Those are 105s.

truck. You think the Germans are making

a push? I don't

know. Sir, you guys see anything? Give

it

hell. You guys be

ready. Sir, doc, we're running low on

plasma. We can we can use some a little

more morphing. We'll get what we can.

You find a hole. We're going to be bus

Victor three

Robert, we're in section

8. How many? No, no, no. We need you to

hold.

Hello.

Hello.

Limestead. All reports say the same.

Crout movement, infantry, tanks,

everything. Right down the Elsenborg

road, our weakest point of our lines.

This could be a major German offensive.

And you've heard nothing from division?

No. Our flanks are in danger of being

exposed. And if we're cut

off, we'll be completely surrounded.

Is it a major German offensive? They'll

have to get the crossroads at Bastonia.

Down here is SE.

And if they take those, they'll easily

cross the Muse River. Yeah, if they

cross the Muse, you know what's next.

They got a straight path all the way to

the English Channel and the port of

Antworp. They'll cut us and the British

in half as four entire armies surrounded

with no supplies behind enemy

lines. Crossroads at

Lansrath. That's the only place that has

a road that'll support German armor.

They have to take Lansrath.

That's Capus position.

Yeah. Get my jeep,

sir.

I'm blind. We have to get the hell out

there and see what's going on. Saddle

up, Captain. Yes, sir.

I am losing my edge. How we doing, Rock?

Real thin, sir. Those two new

replacements bought it already. Who? I

don't know. I didn't get their names.

[ __ ] Crap. Behind

us. How the hell they get behind us? I

don't know.

All right. So, what do we do now,

sir? That's

us. Tank

support. All right, we got to get to the

crossroads. Rocket, second squad on our

flanks. I'll go get third. Meet me back

here. Okay.

Careful,

Sarge. What in the hell is that? That's

my goat.

Your goat? Look, got to have something

to carry my goods. Oh my god, you are

killing me. What's going

on? The Germans are pushing. Where's

Cali? He's out checking points.

Are you kidding me? Oh, I got to guard

my goods.

How many? 20, maybe

30. They're trying to flank us. They

might have us cut

off. Oh

[ __ ] Okay, you two stay

close. What about Betty?

Unless she can carry a rifle. Leave her.

[Applause]

Baker. Baker. This is Fox Red. Over.

Any luck? I'm getting nothing, sir. Keep

trying. Yes, sir.

Got second squad ready, sir. You seen

rock?

Can't come back yet.

We can't wait any longer. Send scouts

out. Yes, sir.

Baker. Baker. This is Fox Red. Over.

Baker. Baker. This is Fox Red. Over.

Damn it. Watch it. Sorry,

Sarge. Sarge, are we

lost? I am way too old for

this.

Sarge, do you do you think Betty's all

right? Forget about your goddamn goat

for a minute, will you? Jesus. Just move

it.

Go. I should have joined the Navy.

Crowds up ahead, sir. So, the

crossroads? Yeah, it looks like they're

overrun. All right, pass the word back

to the squad. I'm going to go check it

out. Yes,

sir.

Germany. We need to find another way

around.

What do we do,

Lieutenant? It sure looks like him.

All right, Kelly on point. We can flank

him.

[Music]

Clear. Clear.

Watch your socks.

Good to see you, too, sir.

What are we going to do with him?

They're just sitting there. We must be

getting close to our lines. How many

grenades we got? Couple captured potato

mashers. Why? Take Grace. Flank on the

right. I'm going to hit him on the left.

We're not seriously going to attack, are

we? Kelly, you're with me? Yes, sir.

Sir, we can get to our lines. We'll meet

them there. And we're going to find them

here. Okay.

When you guys hit them left, lay cover.

I'm going to blast him with the

grenades. Move quick. Wait for my shot.

[Music]

Yeah, good to see you. Found that.

Good work, Corporal.

How's our radio? Yeah, Rudy's been

trying all day.

Rudy, how we doing? I can't get out to

anyone, sir. The Germans the jam our

[Applause]

signal. Maybe they've been overrun.

I don't know what we're going to do.

I have an idea.

What are you doing? Mor's code.

Let's hope our boys are listening.

Breaker 490. Breaker 490, Victor 3.

Anyone out there

over? Breaker 490. Breaker 490, Victor

3. Anyone out there

[Applause]

over? Holy

[ __ ] That's Morris

code. Copy this.

Kappa could kiss you. Sir, we've made

contact with Kappa. He's at the

crossroads at Lansro. He wants to know

his orders.

My god, those poor

kids. This just breaks my heart.

[Applause]

Sir, till Cappy's on his own.

[Applause]

Verify it. Yes, sir.

So, what did they say? Ordered to hold.

Hold. Hold with what? What do we got? SC

what we could, but it ain't

much. Got the 230s with a few boxes,

bazooka, but we only got three rounds.

Hang grenades, few lammines.

Plus

50. It's not much to stop armor.

[Music]

Listen

up. We've been ordered to

hold. Germans are coming this way.

[Music]

We're all with you, sir.

All right, let's get to work.

Chief, that thing clean? Almost, SGE.

Nice.

Corporal. Hey, SGE. How are we? Ready to

go. Excellent.

Sir, we're all set.

Germans are going to love this.

[Music]

Brilliant.

Baker Baker 47. Is anyone out there?

Baker. Baker 47. Is anyone out

there, Captain?

Lieutenant,

good to hear your voice, sir. It's good

to hear yours as well.

What's going on out there, sir?

Nothing good,

Jean. We're plum in the middle of a

major German offensive. Yeah, we seeing

that, too.

Germans have broken through every

sector. US forces are withdrawing.

What about us?

Jean, your position is at a critical

road

junction. You're going to be seeing

heavy infantry and troops coming your

way

soon. I know it's a lot to ask, Jean,

but you and your men have got to hold

the Germans back. You've got to hold

them off as long as possible.

But those are our orders.

Jean, if we do not hold the Germans

back, we could very well find ourselves

retreating back to the English

coastline. A lot of American troops are

going to die. So,

yes, those are your orders.

Okay,

sir. We'll hold them off as long as we

can.

You're a hell of a soldier, Jean.

Thank you, sir.

You You take care out there.

Yes,

sir. Over now.

Over and out.

[Music]

[Music]

Here,

Rock. How come your coffee is always

cold? Doesn't start out that way, sir.

[Music]

think there's any luck in that for

[Music]

us.

Well, here they come.

That was a lot of Germans coming down

that road, sir. They're moving in fast.

All right, get this out of here. Good

work.

[Music]

Get that thing ready.

Sergeant, I'm having second thoughts

about this one. You know what? I've been

having second thoughts about this entire

war. So, stop your bitching.

Rudy, get a message. Rudy, you dead? Not

yet. Get him out of here. Come on, let's

go.

Retreat. We're going to fall back in the

woods.

This fight ain't over. We can flank

them. Hit him in the ass. Let's go.

Ouch. Oh

[ __ ] They're fine. We're running out.

[Applause]

[Applause]

We can't hold on position too long.

Neutral

man. Hello. Hello.

Hey.

Hey. Let's fall back. We can use these.

Straight. Get you down.

Baker. Baker 47. Is anyone out

there? Is anyone out there?

If you can hear me, hear

this. At 5:30 this

morning, the six Panzer army attacked

all through our lines along the Ardan

forest.

This is not a small localized

counterattack, but a major German

offensive. I repeat, this is not a small

localized

counterattack, but a major German

offensive.

Heavy German infantry and

armor have broken through our lines and

are trying to flank

us.

Orders, hold at all cost. I

repeat, hold at all

cost. We have to slow the German

advance. Give

Time for reinforcements.

What we do here

today may affect the outcome of the

war. Hold your

ground. Good luck and God bless.

Rock,

sir, you're

back. It's stowing.

Yeah, you've been out for a

while. Does that help? What?

The cross.

Reminds me of my faith. Why we fight?

Yeah. Well,

sure has been lucky for you.

You hear that? Yeah.

Do we have anything that can stop

him? Just the pans are faster.

Okay. If we can bottleneck a tank, we

can take out a tread, slow him down for

a few more hours. Yeah. Yeah, I like it.

I'll cover you. Okay.

Okay, you only got one go,

sir. Here it comes.

[Music]

A hell of a shot, sir.

[Applause]

Hey, Jim.

BL, you got any more tricks up your

sleeve

now? Not this time, Rock.

heard anything from Kappa?

As of last report, they were still

holding.

So, we don't know if he made it.

No.

Soldier. Damn fine one,

too. So, up there, Captain. Yes, sir.

So much for the war being over by

Christmas.

[Music]

[Music]

Yeah, you just go ahead and take those

cuz I didn't need them anyway.

You think the others made it back? I

hope so.

What do you think they're going to do

with us? Probably ship us back to

Germany. You know, they'll separate us

officers and enlisted men. Yeah, I

know. But they haven't yet.

You know, it's been a real pleasure

fighting with you, Rock.

Stop talking like this is goodbye.

That's

man

comb. Science cruds probably have party

week for us. Captain Rock. I hope so.
