A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 2 Chapter 36: Curtain Call (3)

   September 18th was the second day of Operation Market Garden. Now the sun has risen, which bodes well for the paratroopers of the First Airborne Division.

   is not only able to see the enemy's movements clearly, but also means that the tank units of the 30th Army will rush for reinforcements, which was promised by the Supreme Command in advance.

   The Germans are the opposite. All their frustration is concentrated on a group of stubborn people, that is, the second battalion guarding the north bank of the Arnhem Bridge.

   At this time, Captain Paul, who had completed the reconnaissance mission, ordered his Hohenstaufen reconnaissance camp to return north to Arnhem.

   Because, by radio, he learned that a British force now occupy the north bank of the bridge and is equipped with a large number of anti-tank weapons.

   9:30 in the morning.

   24 armored vehicles drove onto the reinforced concrete bridge in turn.

   Munch, who had just woke up, was standing on the rooftop, eating military rations. Then, he heard a rumble, which can only be heard by heavy vehicles.

   So, Munch raised his head. When he saw all kinds of tanks, his spirit was lifted, and he grabbed Lu Li on the side and shouted, "Tanks! That's our ground troops!"

   "No, that's a German."

   Lu Li shook his head, grabbed a PIAT, and started looking for the enemy's troop carrier.

   However, other people didn't care about Lu Li's actions, especially on the other side of the position. Many soldiers stood up and waved their arms.

   Until the tank’s muzzle rotates and is facing the headquarters where the battalion is located, the group of talents wakes up like a dream, shouting loudly: "Pay attention to concealment, that is the enemy's armored unit!"

   The black flag printed under the barrel is particularly dazzling in the sun, making people shudder.

   The time was too short, and many people had no time to react. At the next moment, the gun barrel began to roar.

   Lieutenant Colonel Frost’s position was the target of the fire, but the school that Lu Li was defending was not spared either. Two shells rushed towards him with a sharp howling sound.

   The explosion sounded on the second floor, and the shock caused the glass frame to split into countless pieces. The charred wood chips were like festive colored paper, raining in all directions.

   Under the protection of Lu Li, Munch, who was pressed under his body, did not suffer much damage, while the other soldiers standing on the rooftop were not so lucky.

   Another shell fell straight ten meters to the left of the two of them. The group of people died on the spot, or was dying, wailing constantly.

   Shake off the rubble and sawdust from his body, Lu Li turned to the side and lay on his stomach. He felt all his internal organs shifted, and there was a **** smell in his nose.

   At the same time, Munch, who was shocked enough by the after wave to lose consciousness, opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "I'm dead."

   After that, he thought about it seriously, and said: "I can't die, I'm talking."

   "Prime soldier, you owe me five lives in total, how do you plan to pay it back?"

While    was speaking, Lu Li was holding PIAT and aimed his sight at a troop carrier.

   The driver used extraordinary skills, sometimes turning sharply to the left and sometimes to the right, like a clever fish, not only avoiding the wreckage of the vehicle left on the bridge last night, but also passing through two minefields——

   It is a Teller type mine. It is not too powerful, but it can effectively prevent the advance of the armored vehicle. The soldiers of the A company specially laid it last night.

   Under Munch's gaze, Lu Li pulled the trigger with two fingers, and the armor-piercing projectile burst out of the chamber instantly, centered in the cab, and the front of the car was ablaze with flames.

   At the same time, with a roar, the soldiers who were watching the battle woke up and began to organize a counterattack.

   In return, Lieutenant Colonel Frost’s machine gun platoon took the lead in counterattack, and the clicks of machine guns and the roar of mortars resounded over the city.

   For a time, the scene became chaotic.

It seemed that the whole block was burning. A stray bullet accidentally hit the tower of St. Eusebius’ Church. The German snipers awoke from hiding there. They stared at the golden hands of the giant clock. The thing was spinning like crazy. Imply something the same.

   At this moment, Lu Li stared at the reimbursed truck, and told Munch, who was still in a daze: "Prime soldier, bring me the armor-piercing bullet."

"Ah good!"

   Munch did not dare to look back, and hurriedly took out a shell from the wooden box and handed it over, because he was worried about seeing some terrible scenes.

   In the next period of time, Lu Li specializes in attacking troop-carrying trucks. Steel monsters equipped with heavy armor like tanks have limited PIAT effects, so it is better to pick soft persimmons.

   Those drivers also gradually noticed that a gunner was staring at them, and they could not help but panic and reversed, but they collided with the armored car behind, causing a series of car accidents.

   How similar is the history.

   Just last night, the same was true for the convoy of Lu Li and Captain McKay. The number of combatants was halved, and a large amount of supplies were lost.

   Slipping, tipping, artillery fire, and chaos.

   There were more and more metal wrecks on the bridge. In the end, only the leading tank passed the bridge smoothly, while other vehicles and soldiers turned around and returned to the south bank.

   In addition, Miller, who escaped from hiding on the third floor, with Henry's help, picked up the bazooka and stared at the tank. When it passed by, an armor-piercing projectile broke open its tracks, and the four German soldiers sitting inside abandoned the vehicle and fled.

   The second battalion once again repelled the enemy’s elite troops. Whether it was the command or other positions, the shouts of British paratroopers were heard:

   "Hi, Muhammad!"

   This is when the First Airborne Division was fighting in North Africa in 1942. Hearing the slogans chanted by the Arabs during the charge, it was quickly quoted by the red devils. Everyone felt that this slogan had a magical power and could stimulate morale.

   Munch did not join in, he lay on his back on the concrete floor, staring at the sky dreamily, while the pungent smell of burning rubber tires lingered on the tip of his nose.

   General Lu Li opened the marching backpack, took out the antibiotic medicine prepared in advance, and told Munch: "I guess I won't care about you in a while, so protect myself."

  The reason why he said this was because he saw another pile of armored vehicles on the south bank, which were more massive and seemed to be tiger tanks.

   "Boss, sorry..."

   Munch sat up and leaned against the concrete pillar. He felt that he was a cowardly soldier. As long as he closed his eyes, he was afraid that he would never wake up again.

   Lu Li didn't know how to comfort Munch. If it hadn't been for the blessing of blood, he would have collapsed in nightmarish battles.

   Suddenly, a soldier yelled: "The enemy has surrendered!"

  The voice grew louder and louder, and many wounded soldiers struggled to get up and looked towards the Arnhem Bridge.

   It was a German soldier~www.readwn.com~ He held the white flag, carefully avoided burning vehicles and corpses, and came to the circular position.

   Upon seeing this, Lu Li, who was about to explain his "last words," paused. He raised his head and lay on the armrest with Munch who was also at a loss, paying attention to the strangely behaving German soldier.

   At almost the same time, Major Gough, who was guarding the house behind, came over and shouted, "Far enough! We can hear you, stop!"

   A few seconds later, the German soldier raised his head, looked at the school facing the bridge, and replied loudly: "My general said that the dispute between the two sides is boring!"

   "He is willing to discuss arrangements for surrender."

   The blunt English spread to the position, and a soldier spit out and cursed in a low voice: "Let him go to death."

   The German soldiers waited for Major Goff to reply. The Major shrugged and prepared to respond that he did not have this authority. After all, Lieutenant Colonel Frost was the highest commander.

   Somehow, Munch stood up and said in an English joke: "We don't have enough facilities and venues to receive you as prisoners of war!"

"sorry!"

   The German soldier was obviously stunned. He almost couldn't hold the white flag firmly: "What?"

   Munch shouted in front of the whole camp: "We want to do the same, but unfortunately we can't accept your surrender."

   "Any other things?"

   The words fell, laughter and whistles sounded, seeming to be taunting the German soldier who persuaded to surrender——

   The guy curled his lips, stood at attention, turned around, and walked towards the south bank, where General Hamel is now taking over.

   A few minutes later, watching the messenger he sent back down, Hamel put his hand on the steering wheel of the car and said blankly: "It's safe and sound."
