Chapter 0372: The End of the Market Garden (Part I)

Section 1: Maniacs.

Germany arrived the next day, and a rumbling torrent of steel appeared, at first just a faint figure of steel on the horizon, and gradually, more and more tanks appeared—until the earth was overwhelmed by a terrible torrent of steel.

The sea of German tanks made the paratroopers of E Company, who were guarding Tongirge, wail: "What a ......"

Yes, very much - a large number of tanks seemed to drown Tongji fever, and looking at the torrent of steel that seemed to occupy all the land, Zheng Yingqi had only one thought:

If so many tanks all flocked to Tongyheat, half of the British tank company, which was still entangled with E Company, would definitely run away decisively and decisively.

Perhaps only an abnormal brain like Zheng Yingqi can think of such a thing, and all the paratroopers of Company E have only one thought:

We're done......

But just as it was approaching the Tongji fever, the steel torrent of the German army began to divide the troops, looking at the German army that divided the troops, the paratroopers trembled and breathed a sigh of relief, the real ice and fire two heavens!

Only six tanks and some infantry were left to entangle Tongirge - a position that the Germans did not consider important, so they did not make it their main target.

From the endless sea of tanks to the sparse enemy in front of them, everyone in E Company seemed to be alive again, and the intensity of the battle was as they thought - full of "gentleness".

The recruits didn't think that the battle that had exhausted them was called "gentle", and at the end of the day's fighting, the recruits snuggled up to the ruins, looking at the ruins, remembered the fierceness of today's battle.

Private Cobb trembled with his gun in his arms, and a picture came to his mind:

A brother was blown out in the stomach by a grenade in front of his eyes, and his face was splattered with what was splattered from his stomach.

"Cobb...... Save me...... Help me......" The brother stretched out his hand weakly, trying to hold Cobb not far away, as if he could save himself, but Cobb was frightened, he retreated in embarrassment, and did not dare to reach out to comfort his dying brother.

Then, an indelible scene was etched in his memory: Jacob crouched down in front of his comrade who had been blown out of his stomach, whispered something, then covered the other's eyes, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his comrade's head.

After the gunshots and blood splattered, Jacob looked at Cobb and said, "Follow me!" ”

But Cobb collapsed, Zheng Yingqi's eyes just now frightened him, that look gave Cobb the feeling of a devil, not only did he not follow Zheng Yingqi, but turned around and ran away - until he was stopped by Welsh, Cobb was horrified and said that Jacob had killed his own people, but was kicked aside by Welsh.

Finally Ali dragged him to the battlefield, and when the battle was over, he was shaking with his gun in his hand.

"Cobb, don't be afraid, just get used to it." Sergeant Martin comforted the poor soldier, war can easily break down, especially for the recruits - compared to this wave of recruits, they are undoubtedly lucky, they are also recruits before going to war, but they have a picky, cruel company commander, Sobel let them feel the battlefield in advance, although in the first battle, their performance is not as good as they imagined, but they easily accept the devastation and oppression of war.

At this time, Zheng Yingqi walked over with a gun, he looked indifferently at the trembling Cobb, but Cobb panicked as if he saw the devil, and finally he subconsciously raised the gun, as if the gun in his hand could give him a little comfort - but this behavior shocked Sergeant Martin, and he knocked Cobb to the ground with a punch, avoiding Cobb's dependence.

Zheng Yingqi shook his head and hurriedly left here, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, this poor worm would be scared to death!

Cobb, who was punched, cried on the ground, Martin went up to coax him again, coaxing Cobb looked like a mother coaxing his son who couldn't make it, the movement here alarmed the third platoon leader, Lieutenant Peacock, the lieutenant ran over to see, I didn't expect it to be a coward crying, he wanted to leave after seeing Martin coaxing, but I didn't expect Cobb to complain with a crying voice:

"Lieutenant! Jacob killed our own people! He killed our own people! ”

Peacock, like Lieutenant Brewer, the deputy platoon commander who was shot in the throat, was a "standard, traditional, rigid dogmatic officer", as if carved out of the assembly line of the military academy.

"Forget about it! If it were me, I'd thank Jacob for giving me a heartbeat! ”

Cobb watched Peacock leave in horror, forgetting to even cry, he had only one thought: crazy, everyone here is crazy!

Section 2: Snipers

War has its own laws, and there are many laws, which are directed against soldiers.

Just like now, under the cover of night, E Company began to send search personnel to the battlefield of fierce fighting during the day, searching for its own wounded and bringing back its own corpses.

There was a tacit understanding between the two sides, and neither the fire was fired when they were cleaning up the battlefield, neither the medics with the red cross armbands nor the soldiers carrying the corpses or stretchers, nor were they attacked by bullets - sometimes people from both sides would pass by, and both sides would look at each other indifferently, and then each would go about their own work.

But behind the promise of a gentleman, there are countless soldiers with guns hidden behind various bunkers on full guard - Zheng Yingqi is holding a Springfield rifle with a scope, lying in a building, monitoring the battlefield being cleaned through the gaps that have been blown up.

"Jacob, did you see a couple of Germans hiding like marmots?" Henry, who was lying on the other side, asked with a smile.

"Seven."

Then Henry stopped talking, he was actually planning to show off just now, and the guard German army that he thought he was hiding secretly was pulled out by himself, and he waited for his name one by one like a watermelon, which made Henry have a very strange feeling: the feeling of easily controlling the life and death of the enemy made him feel that I am God.

Everyone in Company E knows that Jacob is a good captive, a good assaulter, and an excellent ...... Well, everyone in E Company knows that Jacob is a collection of all kinds of excellent snipers, but no one says that Jacob is a good sniper, so Henry plans to show off, like Jacob who is ready to be a good sniper, and also vaguely tells this guy -

Snipers, not so easy to be.

But the reality is cruel, Jacob, this guy, really has the talent to be a good sniper?

"God! How can there be such a freak? As Henry thought with grumbling, the sight's crosshair left the German army that was currently locked on, and was replaced by another German soldier.

The two sides cleaned up the battlefield almost at the same time, and the flares that were constantly rising into the air were no longer in the air at this time, and the battlefield slowly became dark, and it was soon engulfed in darkness.

Just when the darkness was about to engulf the battlefield again, the silence of the battlefield was suddenly broken by the sound of gunfire!

"Lance!"

The silence was broken by the screams, and an Englishman carrying a stretcher fell to the ground in the screams, and the body on the stretcher rolled down and landed on the ground again with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

"Dog mongrel!"

"Son of a bitch!"

Enraged, the paratroopers fired at the German positions not far away, and the shots rang out in a row, but no one knew exactly where the shots were fired, and the shooting was nothing more than an outpouring of rage.

bang

The crisp sound of the Chuntian rifle sounded on the suddenly rapid battlefield, but no one noticed the crisp gunshot, only Henry heard it, he turned his head to look at Zheng Yingqi, who had completed the loading quickly, but secretly said in his heart:

Sure enough, the sniper profession is not something anyone can be if they want to, and if you are as good as Jacob, you can't be a sniper.

He thought that Zheng Yingqi was shooting with a venting mood.

The flare rose into the air again, and before it had yet evacuated the land engulfed in darkness, it was lit up again, and in Zheng Yingqi's scope, a wailing German soldier became clearer and clearer - it was the German soldier who fired just now, whether it was retaliation or misfire, it could not erase a fact, that is:

Just now, it was he who fired the gun.

Zheng Yingqi is a very well-behaved person, but it doesn't mean that he won't break the rules of pedantic, the other party dares to destroy the insignificant tacit understanding between the two sides, then he dares to let the other party experience what is the despair of murder!

In the shot just now, Zheng Yingqi didn't kill the sniper, the bullet passed through his shoulder, making one of his hands directly useless.

The German soldier screamed at the medics in pain, and a German soldier wearing a Red Cross armband rushed out from behind the rubble, ran to the wounded sniper, crouched down and started first aid.

bang

Just as the wounded German sniper was waiting for him to be bandaged, the Springfield rifle fired again, and the medic's head suddenly exploded, and the hard skull fragments splashed all over the German soldier's face along with the tissue in the head.

After hitting the German medics, Zheng Yingqi immediately shifted his position, climbed to the roof of the building, and restored the struggling German sniper back into the scope.

Henry's eyes widened as he looked at a figure who had climbed to the top of the building in a leap, and only after a while did he ask, "Jacob, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Shout out to Winters for me, don't stop flares!"

Flares don't stop? Henry was strange and couldn't help asking, "Why?" "Jiuzhou Chinese

"I've got my eye on the German sniper who shot him, and I'm going to show him what despair is!" Zheng Yingqi's voice floated in, and his tone was very calm, but the murderous aura wrapped in his words made Henry couldn't help but shudder.

He got up and went to the window and shouted to his comrades below, "Say hello to the captain!" Don't stop flares! Jacob says he's eyeing the German snipers who are firing! ”

When he shouted this, Henry was still muttering in his heart, since he was eyeing you to kill him, he wanted to ask where the person was, but out of the pride of a sniper, Henry didn't ask after all, so he simply squatted to the position before Zheng Yingqi and searched.

The German medic was shot and died, and it did not attract the attention of the German troops hiding behind, the battlefield is so cruel, the bullet that kills you, you never know where it flew out, two German soldiers rushed out, trying to drag the wounded sniper back.

bang

bang

In less than a second, the two German soldiers who pounced on them fell to the ground, and they were all horribly shot in the head!

At such a fast speed, it didn't look like a person did it, but the German sniper lying on the ground knew very well that it was a person who did it - he simulated the opponent's movements in his mind, shooting, loading, aiming, and shooting again......

Thinking that the other party had completed such a complex set of actions in less than a second, the sniper's forehead was instantly covered with nervous sweat.

Counterpart...... The other party is deliberate, the other party deliberately injured himself, and he is fishing like bait!

The sniper felt a strong malice, and he understood that the other party was taking revenge on himself for breaking the rules and revenge for the person he killed them, but this method made the sniper rush to the bone-chilling cold.

After forcing himself to calm down, the sniper analyzes the situation:

He's still waiting for the fish to take the bait! Where is his place......

He pretended not to know and continued to struggle, from the trajectory of the three bullets he had a rough judgment of the opponent's hidden position, just at this time there was his own person who had the courage to save himself again, the sniper immediately stopped the other party's intention to come, and the soldier asked him to inform his companion and let the companion avenge himself.

Henry finally found what Zheng Yingqi called "the German sniper I was targeting" - looking at the three corpses and the sniper who was still struggling, Henry realized something and couldn't help but gasp.

This......

Is that okay?

Just as Henry was inhaling the cold air, Zheng Yingqi's voice came from the roof: "Get out of here!" ”

As the voice drifted away, Henry clearly felt that Zheng Yingqi had changed positions again, the sniper at this time had nothing to say in terms of shooting, but he did not have a clear understanding of changing positions frequently, and even if there were, it was just the battlefield intuition born by the masters in countless battles, and a unified cognition had not yet been formed, so Zheng Yingqi was so diligent in changing positions, which seemed very strange to Henry.

bang

Another shot rang out, this time because Zheng Yingqi saw that the wounded sniper was squirming back hard, and fired directly into the opponent's other arm.

"Ahh

The sniper, who had been shot again, cried out in despair, and then forcibly endured the severe pain and asked, "Erwin...... Did you find him? ”

"Nope! I...... I only saw the other person's figure, and he seemed to be gone. The sniper who came to support him replied uncertainly.

The sniper trusts Erwyn, and when he hears that the other party is leaving, he asks the people behind him to drag him back.

Two German soldiers rushed out, and just as they ran to the wounded sniper, blood splattered, and the two fell directly to the ground without saying a word, and one of them fell directly to the sniper's body, with a huge hole in his head, which was constantly flowing out of red and white mixed liquid, impregnated on the sniper's body.

"Ah!!!h

The sniper shouted in despair, he knew that the other party would not let him go so easily, but Erwin's words made his desire to survive prevail over reason, he didn't expect ......

The other party didn't let go of himself at all!

The sniper named Erwin was also furious, and he searched for the location where the gunfire had flashed just now, but the other party disappeared after firing, and he couldn't find any trace of the other party.

Erwin ...... Save me...... I don't want to die......" The wounded sniper's wail interfered with Erwin's sanity, and he resisted the urge to finish Erwin, shouting, "Mark, listen, you crawl back slowly, I'll keep an eye on that ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a huge blood hole appeared on his forehead.

I...... I was hit?

Erwin thought, his consciousness was completely engulfed by darkness, and at the moment when his consciousness dissipated, he had only one thought: I...... Want to go home......

He's dead......

Erwin is dead!

The sniper named Mark is desperate, he and Erwin are a special sniper team to support, and they are the top snipers trained by the Berlin Sniper School...... Erwin is dead, and no one can save himself anymore......

No one can save themselves!

Mark laughed, laughing insolently, his ambition ...... His ambition to surpass the headmaster was reduced at this moment, and only his mind and sanity were crushed by fear.

He collapsed.

A bullet passed through Mark's head, and the laughter came to an abrupt end.

Zheng Yingqi put away the gun and shook his head silently, it was so easy to collapse, so easy to give up......

Henry looked at Zheng Yingqi, who jumped from the hiding place with a gun, and at that moment, he seemed to be worshipping a god!

……

Section 3: The Brave

The 506th Regiment received information from the Dutch underground that German tanks were heading towards Yudeng, where the Germans had taken sight of the town of Dengden after their offensive had been thwarted.

"Yuden cannot fall into the hands of the Germans! Otherwise the road will be paralyzed! Once this road is finished, the 82nd Division and the British Airborne Forces in front will lose the arteries of supply! They're done! We must hold on to Yuden! ”

At the regimental meeting, Colonel Zinke emphasized the importance of Yuden, so the 506th Regiment left the garrison area, handed over the position to friendly forces, and headed towards Yuden.

On the morning of September 22, the entire 506th Regiment rushed to Yuden on the "Hell Highway" in a truck, the advance team consisted of a company directly under the regimental headquarters, E company and three British Cromwell tanks, the trucks of the regimental company were just enough for their own 100 people, and three Cromwell tanks could only carry one platoon, in this case, Winters took one platoon to the tanks, and the 2nd and 3rd platoons broke away from the advance team and acted together with the 2nd battalion.

The advance party left Tongerge and entered Üden after passing through Wigherr.

"It seems that we arrived before the Germans—we should have plenty of time to build ......," Welsh was about to ask his men to build a position, when Winters, who had climbed up the church, rushed down and shouted:

"Assemble! Gather! The Germans are coming! ”

Coincidentally, the Allied advance party arrived ten minutes earlier than the German advance team, and at this time, the German advance party of three Leopards, five armored vehicles and more than ten trucks also rushed towards Yudeng.

"God! There are too many of them! The British tank commander, after hearing Winters's mention of the situation with the German army, exclaimed: "They are at least twice as many as us!" We don't have a position yet! ”

"The Germans also had no positions!" Welsh couldn't help but yell at the bastard commander, and after Winters glared at the other party coldly, he said, "Brothers, remember our slogan? ”

"Kolahi!" The paratroopers shouted - do it yourself! No one helped!

"Yes, we are paratroopers, we have to rely on ourselves!" "Let's go meet the Germans and show them how good the paratroopers are!" ”

Although the company commander did not think that they could defeat at least twice as many German troops, he did not oppose Winters's opinion, and the follow-up troops would not arrive until at least an hour and a half later, and if they could not withstand the German offensive before the follow-up troops arrived, then Huden and the neighboring Wigherr would fall into the hands of the Germans, and it would be even more difficult to recapture them.

In the face of the strong paratroopers, the three Cromwell tanks were no longer willing to keep up, and had to fight with the Leopard in a needle-to-needle battle.

God forbid, fortunately it's not a tiger......
