Chapter 292: Operation Market Garden (1)

"As you can see, this operation is code-named 'Operation Market Garden', which was formulated directly by General Montgomery, and this time the scale of the operation will be even larger than that of the Normandy operation. We will be parachuted into the inland part of the Netherlands, and the Allied goal is to occupy the road between Enhofen and Anheng, so that the two British armoured divisions can enter Anheng through Guò. The job of our airborne division is to liberate Enhofen, stay there and wait for the arrival of the tank armored division. If this operation is successful, we can indeed storm the Berlin "greenhouse" before Christmas, and Captain Winters explains the plan of action to everyone in Company E.

"The coalition forces across the European theater have stopped advancing and are allocating resources for this operation. Since it was General Montgomery's personal plan, we will be temporarily placed under his command. As Captain Winters had suggested, if this operation was successful, the Panzer Tank Division would cross the Rhine into the German mainland. Captain Nickerson paused before continuing.

"This time, the skydive will be carried out during the day, and the intelligence indicates that there will not be too much resistance. They thought that the German troops stationed in Enhofen were second-line troops, and that our arrival would surprise them. In any case, goodbye to the UK. ”

A day later, in the morning of the Edboone barracks airfield, Company E was ready to go.

"Lai, do you think the battalion's battle plan will succeed?" asked Sergeant Goneri softly beside Li Wei.

"It's hard, the chances are only half and half. In fact, Li Wei did not tell the truth. In fact, in Li Wei's view, regardless of the history he knows for the time being, after all, history can be changed in a copy, and this time the battle plan is too optimistic, and some operational priorities are ignored, in Li Wei's opinion, this operation is very likely to wake up the group of top commanders of the coalition army.

Historically, Operation Market Garden did end in failure, with most of the British paratroopers killed or captured by the Germans until the next attack. It was only after this battle that the top commanders of the coalition forces realized that the slogans that the battalion headquarters had been using to encourage brainwashing soldiers were actually one of the failure factors of this operation. Because of their overoptimism, most of the Allied soldiers underestimated the strength of the German army, which in turn led to negligence or mistakes in the implementation of tactics.

However, for the current Li Weilai, it is not his turn to command these strategic arrangements in the overall situation, and his current duty is to lead the second platoon of E Company to complete this combat operation smoothly.

"Barry!Freeman!What are you doing?!!" Levy asked loudly as he saw the two recruits pull their M1 rifles out of their pouches, chase them over.

"Sir, we just saw Miller and Garcia in the first row pull out their rifles, and it was Kaber's guidance, so we thought it was official!" Barry and Freeman immediately straightened up, and then the former replied.

Li Wei looked in the direction of the first row according to the answers of the two, and sure enough, it was Kaber who was pointing around.

"Lenny, Goneri, Grant, all of you, come here!" Hearing Li Wei's call, the three of them immediately ran to him and stood upright.

"Sir!"

"Give me the new recruits in each class immediately! I don't want some people to break their jaws because of the wrong demonstration!

"Yes, sir!" the three immediately replied, and then returned to the platoon with two recruits.

"Harry, come here! I've got something to talk to you about!" Levy shouted at Lieutenant Wilson, who was from the first platoon, and it would be better to leave it to Lieutenant Wilson, who was in charge of the first platoon.

"Lai, are you going to give me your whiskey?" said Lieutenant Wilson as he walked over and jokingly said.

"You just have to wait a long time! Don't do it, you have to know what to do, and it's up to you how to deal with it. Seeing Li Wei talking with a serious face, Lieutenant Wilson unconsciously became stern.

"That's the way it is...... I don't care what to do with it, but I don't want my brother to cause unnecessary casualties because of this misdirection. Levy briefly finished the story, then stopped to look at Lieutenant Wilson.

"I know what to do...... Lieutenant Wilson replied with a stern nod, then turned away.

"Pupai!" said from behind Li Wei.

When I turned around, I found that Pupai, who was supposed to be still recuperating, was standing majestically on a jeep, which was not a surprising place; the most surprising thing was that there was an E Company sitting in the passenger seat of this jeep, which should be the person known by E Company before the war, Captain Sauber!

"You're finally back from the hospital? I must have gotten the contact information of those hospital nurses!" asked as Corporal Rigot stepped out of the car, and put his arm on Pushpai's shoulder.

"Hehehe...... I'm not healed yet, so I care about my ass. Pupai said with a smile.

"Haven't healed yet?, and how did you get out?!" asked Lieutenant Lipton, who came over and was surprised to hear Pupai's words.

"Naturally, I escaped, and I didn't want to be transferred to another company. Pupai said with a sincere face.

"Can you skydive?" asked Lieutenant Lipton.

I just can't sit down. Puppai laughed, and Lieutenant Lipton tapped the former twice on the shoulder before letting him return to the first row.

If the United States can defeat the Germans this time, the Pupai ass will definitely be the first to fight. Corporal Lutz mimicked General Eisenhall's tone, making the people nearby laugh.

A group of Takoya veterans gathered around to tease or care about the Pupai, while the recruits stayed quietly, and it would take more time for them to fit in.

"Welcome back, Pupai!" Li Wei walked over and extended his hand to Pupai to congratulate.

"Thank you, Lai. "Pupai is grateful.

"Soldier, pay attention to me! In front of you is Lieutenant William Lai, so give me a respect!" Corporal Lutz's tone changed to Major Horton, who was usually very strict, and once again made everyone laugh.

"Luz, you are really brave......" Li Wei looked not far away, with a slightly meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said.

"What do you mean?" Corporal Lutz looked at Levy in confusion, and the rest of the group looked at the latter.

"Don't forget...... It was Major Horton who had the one behind him transferred out of Company E, and the culprit was you, the fake Major Horton. Li Wei gestured with his eyes to Captain Sober, who was supervising the soldiers carrying supplies behind him, and said.

"Bang! You don't mention it, I forgot about it!" Corporal Lutz was startled by Li Wei's reminder, and quickly lowered his voice.
