A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 2 Chapter 24: The Hate of Seizing the Bridge (1)

   Tiger Route.

   The mortar was falling on the road with disturbing accuracy, in the woods where most of the paratroopers of the third battalion used to hide.

At this moment, General Urquhart, the highest commander of the First Airborne Division, has landed smoothly. He and Brigadier General Rasbury stayed in the bunker and discussed the situation in the Arnhem area. Both officers felt the current slow progress. disturbed.

   The failure of communication tools prevented their instructions from being delivered in time.

   Half an hour ago, the two lost contact with the troops on the Jaguar route, and they had only intermittent communication with the second battalion.

   "Where did Gough's detective company go?"

   "Have you not contacted yet?"

   Urquhart turned to look at the correspondent.

   "No, just like Yiying's situation, it can't be connected all the time."

   In the depressing atmosphere, Rasbury had a strong hunch: The first battalion and reconnaissance company walking along the road of the jaguar might be more fortunate.

   Almost subconsciously, Urquhart cast his gaze on the map, and a place with a red circle out of it aroused his vigilance-Wolfhitzer.

   In fact, Major Gough has traveled about two and a half miles along the Jaguar Route from the start to the present. It was only with the help of the First Battalion that he could go so far.

The enemy is supported by half-track armored vehicles, artillery and tanks. Hundreds of paratroopers are forced to crawl on the grass. Even if they are fighting back, the chance of reaching the Arnhem Bridge is still very small. Second camp.

   It's a pity that the third battalion on the Tiger's route was also suppressed and dared not move.

   More coincidentally, the enemies of the first and third battalions were stormtrooper Major Zep Kraft, the hapless man who was forced to give up his garrison.

This guy was convinced that he was surrounded, and conservatively estimated that the ratio between the British army and his under-staffed armored training camp was 20 to 1. Pu is still pessimistic and has no illusions about stopping the enemy for a long time.

   He probably didn't know that he was so strong, and the training camp is now being supported by the tanks, artillery and armored vehicles of the Hohenstaufen division.

   Actually, the division is less than two miles away from Zepp’s own headquarters, which is rarely known for reasons of confidentiality.

  For now, everything depends on the second battalion of Lieutenant Colonel John Frost. They are marching forward steadily, because the branch of the road is not taken seriously by the Germans.

   Apart from the obstruction encountered by Lu Li and the others, there were only sporadic gunfire falling, which created a little trouble for Er.

   "Guys, watch your surroundings!"

   "Next stop, under the Rhine Railway Bridge!"

  On the highway along the river, Lu Li greeted his brothers loudly while driving.

   After having back-up, Munch walked out of the gloom and resumed his previous escape. As for the thoughts in his mind, no one else could see.

   "Boss, why do we act as the current post every time? I thought that the jeep would be reimbursed and it would be able to get rid of bad luck, but the battalion commander transferred three more vehicles."

   After the fierce battle is over, it is also a pleasure to hear the co-pilot ask inconspicuous questions.

   Thinking of this, the marksman Henry suddenly felt that he was assimilated by Munch in a subtle way.

  If one day, he becomes a talking sniper...thinking and terrifying.

   "What do you think is the reason?" Lu Li asked.

   Munch uttered an illogical conjecture, but showed serious expression: "Lieutenant Colonel Frost hates us. Have you or Sergeant Miller offended him?"

   There is a tens of thousands of miles between the two, and the commander will embarrass them when he has nothing to do.

   Correspondent Jerry curled his lips. This was the most boring joke he heard this year.

   "No, he doesn't hate me or Miller."

   Lu Li looked around and replied, "He just hates you alone."

   "A tool man who brings bad luck."

   There was laughter suddenly behind him.

   It can be imagined that over time, the nickname Lu Li gave to Munch will be widely spread within the First Airborne Division.

  Perhaps, it will reach General Urquhart someday, the man who makes people feel happy has a habit--

   likes to call soldiers "sons." If you know the specific names, you just call them, never put on airs, and often ask for the soldiers' nicknames.

   "If the general knows that there is another person in his team who can bring bad luck, then he will definitely try his best to transfer him away."

   Correspondent Jerry looked straight.

   And Henry also rarely joked. He said: "Maybe it's just to put you in the kitchen and scramble eggs every day."

   "Don't be afraid, I will find a way to dig a hole and save you out."

   Lu Li casually comforted.

   In the other two cars, the atmosphere is also much better. After all, most people want to drive. War is never reasonable. Damn it, die or lose.

   In short, fight hard to complete the mission, fight hard to protect yourself.

   Time slowly passed, five and forty in the afternoon.

   Lu Li slowed down, not because an enemy blocked the road, nor was it because of insufficient gasoline, but because the road was full of dead animals, and they were all incomplete.

  The enemy's artillery?

   or your own bomber?

   Lu Li didn't know the truth, so he could only be more vigilant.

   Soon, Captain McKay, who was in charge of the support, drove up. The soldiers under his command belonged to the engineering unit and were familiar with bridges.

   "Thank you, brother."

Captain    greeted him first, and then said to Lu Li, "This place is so quiet, it makes people feel unreal."

   "The observable hand did not find the enemy."

Hearing that, McKay stopped the car and took out his binoculars to look towards the railway bridge. The shore was indeed very quiet. No enemy was found, only waterfowl and weeds~www.readwn.com~ After a few minutes, six jeeps The formed convoy continued to drive towards the target, and the bridge reflected in the pupils continued to enlarge.

   Once it is taken down and held on, the importance of the Arnhem Bridge will decline.

   It is only one of the three goals. Although it is important, it can be abandoned. After all, it is enough to ensure that the ground troops have a place to pass.

   This is mine, take it!

   Lu Li clasped the steering wheel tightly. He stepped on the accelerator to accelerate and lead the team to charge. He didn't want to go to Arnhem City and become the material in the Flesh Mill.

   "God! German soldiers!"

   Captain McKay, who was holding a telescope and keeping an eye on the railway bridge, suddenly became painful. He saw a German running up the bridge from the south bank of the Rhine, kneeling in the center, and starting to do something.

   And Lu Li turned his head, he realized that there was a small black spot in his field of vision, and immediately ordered the detection team to fire.

   "Kill this offal..."

When    was halfway through, an orange flame rose into the sky, and the shock wave shook the earth.

   "The first bridge is gone."

   McKay muttered to himself.

   Lu Li released the steering wheel and looked at the grand fireworks in front of him. He felt a little strange, not happy or sad, and silently pondered whether he could change his fate by coming ten minutes earlier.

   In the silence, the flames in the center of the railway bridge went out and black smoke rose. Lieutenant Colonel Frost hurried over, but he wanted to be more open-minded and encouraged:

   "Boys, cheer up, it is not important, we have two alternative goals."

   The time is half past six, and night falls.

   There are still two bridges left for seizure in the second camp, one is a pontoon bridge in the suburbs, and the other is a reinforced concrete bridge in the city.
