After thinking about it, Zheng Yingqi understood the reason why the British soldiers were in a hurry to surrender - the poor environment in which they were hiding, coupled with the hopeless suffering and the threat of starvation from lack of food, made them want to surrender for a long time.

[The British army, who is obsessed with professional pit teammates, is still so unreliable......]

Zheng Yingqi shook his head in his heart, the Dutch underground resistance organization that took in these paratroopers probably couldn't have imagined that the British they took in would have long lost their will to fight - he guessed that if he came a few days later or no reinforcements appeared, these British might take the initiative to run to surrender to the Germans.

And then...... This village, called Boer, is waiting for the cruel revenge of the Germans!

These thoughts were only a matter of moments, and he quickly removed the distractions from his mind and identified himself instead: "Listen, I'm not German, I'm an American paratrooper, and I'm clearly connected with you—now please turn around slowly and try not to do anything that would cause misunderstanding, understand?" ”

Not German?

American paratroopers?

Prescott was struck by lightning, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground and get straight into it—this face, a big shame......

He turned around slowly, but what caught his eye was the standard German dress, Prescott's brain was confused, and his judgment plummeted, but fortunately, Zheng Yingqi saw this guy's dumbfoundedness, and directly said the code of the joint: "I lost my red beret, dodge and let me come over to find some more." ”

After hearing this code that the brigadier had been expecting, Prescott finally understood that the person in front of him was indeed his own, but the more this happened, the more ashamed he became, after all, what he had just done was ......

"I'm sorry, I thought you were German, just thinking about paralyzing, and then taking the opportunity to warn." Prescott made an excuse for himself, Zheng Yingqi looked at the British paratrooper who was making excuses with a smile, and did not respond to this, but said directly: "My people are here with the radio, I need to see the supreme commander here." ”

"No problem, I'll take you to Brigadier Max now."

Max...... Brigadier?

Brigadier!

Zheng Yingqi was dumbfounded, he couldn't have imagined that there was actually a brigadier general here!

Colonel Dobby didn't mention it - he suspected that Dobby had deliberately concealed the news, what a ridiculous British pride......

In Zheng Yingqi's whistle, Bane and Henry came out of the shadows one after another, and Prescott looked at the two "German soldiers" who came out again, and couldn't help asking: "Are you really Americans?" ”

Bane revealed the radio station he was carrying, patted it, and said, "Look, it's like a fake." ”

"You're finally here...... We now have too little rations a day, sometimes only one potato per person, damn the Germans are so bad, they control the bazaars, they pester, they buy a lot of food, they check every house's stock, we haven't been replenished for four or five days. Prescott babbled on about their pitiful plight as he led the three of them into the village.

Zheng Yingqi shook his head in his heart, these Britons, what a ......

If it were their people, with the help of an underground organization familiar with the local situation, they would honestly stay in the basement? Just kidding, I will definitely find a way to get a guerrilla zone here! Food, weapons and ammunition? The Germans send so many convoys of supplies every day, will there be a shortage?

……

Because of Preskert's leadership, he basically didn't encounter any trouble after entering the village of Bull, and Zheng Yingqi also met the commander of this assembled force, Brigadier General Max, a brigadier general of a British paratrooper unit.

Judging from the situation in the basement where the brigadier general is, these people have been squatting here for at least half a month, but after meeting with Brigadier General Max, Zheng Yingqi has a new understanding of the British who want to save face and suffer alive!

Obviously, he has been squatting here for at least half a month, and the smell on his body is obviously strong and scary, but when the British brigadier saw Zheng Yingqi, he actually cleaned himself up, and even the red beret he was wearing was bright as if it was new - the only problem was that the smell was very tangy, Bane and Henry subconsciously held their breath, but this is a narrow basement, and they have to accept the smell......

"You're the most handsome American sergeant I've ever met—not one of them!" Brigadier General Max complimented Zheng Yingqi, who smiled and accepted the false compliment.

After the brigadier general hypocritically praised the three of them, he went to the main question and asked: "How did you rescue us?" How are we going to get through the German positions? ”

"Sir, according to the agreement, our men will meet us on the banks of the Rhine, and they can set up a few receiving positions at most after crossing the river, and we must find a way to cross the German positions to reach the front line of the confrontation."

As soon as Zheng Yingqi's words fell, someone questioned: "What are you kidding?" We are now seriously short of bullets! From here to the front line is at least thirty kilometers! How do we get through? The Germans will tear us to shreds! ”

Zheng Yingqi turned around and saw the person who spoke - it was a major, he had only drilled down the entrance with a diameter of fifty centimeters just now, and his already sloppy appearance was even more sloppy, seeing Zheng Yingqi looking at him, the major said angrily: "We can't pass through at all!" If we could, we would have left long ago! ”

"Sir, let's put up the wires, and then contact the regimental headquarters, the specific way to break through is to contact the friendly forces on the other side, what do you think?" Zheng Yingqi is too lazy to pay attention to this clamoring British major, you can't pass through here, but I can!

"Well, we're in touch with the other side, so we can get the other side to cooperate with us, Lake, and bring a few people to set up the radio station." The brigadier general also felt that what Zheng Yingqi said was unreliable - how could so many people pass through the German positions?

Bane unloaded the radio and began to get busy with the help of a few British soldiers, Henry on the side looked at it coldly, he understood in his heart that the brave British paratroopers who were touted had already been frightened, and what they hoped most now was that the car team could take them away directly, rather than risk passing through the German positions - it was quite beautiful, but the British who were master tacticians, do you think it is possible?

The enthusiasm for the group only lasted for a few minutes before turning into indifference, and the Englishmen in this basement were now able to squeeze a smile on Bane and maintain their gentlemanly demeanor, and as for Zheng Yingqi and Henry, it was as if they had been forgotten - presumably because Bane's own value was irreplaceable.

"We want to meet the pilots."

"Bivis, you take them to Matthew them." The brigadier general randomly assigned a paratrooper, and then said perfunctorily to Zheng Yingqi: "I'm really sorry, I need to contact your commander - when I go back, I will thank you well!" ”

"Then thank you, sir." Henry replied, but the perfunctory meaning was as easy to hear as the brigadier general's words.

The so-called meeting of the five pilots was just an excuse to leave here, and the unfriendly attitude of the British made Henry very sad - this group of Englishmen, self-proclaimed gentlemen, could not even last for a long time to be grateful to the benefactor who saved their lives, there was not a good thing!

The two U.S. pilots didn't have much to say - nothing more than reassuring each other that we would definitely be able to take you away and other nonsense, after leaving the basement where the pilot was hiding again, Zheng Yingqi asked Matthew, who led the way: "Man, we need to talk to the members of the underground resistance here, can you introduce us?" ”

When he followed Matthew to see the pilots just now, Zheng Yingqi had already realized that these paratroopers were very distrustful of the Dutch underground resistance, even if they were taken in and even provided protection for a long time, but these British people were very resistant to the people of the underground resistance, which belonged to the core, but there was no member of the resistance.

It is clear that you don't trust people.

"Yes, but only Hemmer and Storm, who are our friends! Trustworthy, we can't trust anyone else. Matthew said immediately.

Zheng Yingqi was silent, can you be more domineering? Believe it? If you really have a problem, can you wait until I come to you?

The Hemmer and Storm in Matthew's mouth are the members of the two Dutch underground resistance organizations mentioned by Colonel Dobby before, and they are also the core members of the underground resistance organization in Bul Village, when Matthew took Zheng Yingqi and Henry to find the two, these two people had obviously learned the news of the arrival of the joint team, but, after seeing Zheng Yingqi, the young man named Helmer introduced by Matthew, his expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously picked up the submachine gun that was put aside and aimed at Zheng Yingqi.

"He's German!" Hemmer shouted in shock: "I saw him today, he was in a German truck!" ”

Seeing that this guy was unstable with a gun, Zheng Yingqi was really afraid that this kid would pull the trigger and burst himself out of the way if he was not careful, he slowly raised his hand and said: "Brother, our identity has been verified - you have to know that if you want to get in, we must have the identity of a German, don't get excited, put down the gun, okay?" ”

"Man, Sergeant Jacob hates being held at gunpoint, trust me, if it weren't for the fact that you were your own man, he could have killed you the moment you raised your gun." Henry said dissatisfiedly to the young man with the gun.

"Hemer, calm - this is your own person." As Matthew explained, Hemmer lowered his hand holding the weapon suspiciously, but was ready to aim the gun at the two of them again at any moment, apparently, the young man was still suspicious.

Matthew didn't think it would be a wise move to let the two groups meet, so he advised Zheng Yingqi, "Sgt., what are you looking for them?" If not, I'd suggest we go out first, after all, it seems that Hemmer still has a misunderstanding about you. ”

"I need their support," Zheng Yingqi sat down, signaled Hemmer not to be nervous, and said to the elder Storm, "Sir, please advise your companions not to make any bad misunderstandings." ”

Under Storm's restraint, Heimer laid down his weapon, but his eyes were always full of wariness at Zheng Yingqi, obviously still suspecting that Zheng Yingqi was German.

"I'd like to ask you about the situation of the German forces around me, and besides, I don't know if you can get more accurate information, let's say......"

……

While Zheng Yingqi was chatting with the leaders of the two resistance groups in Bul Village, the 506th Regiment finally received a signal from the joint team, and the operator quickly converted the received code into lines of letters.

[The joint team has arrived, I am Brigadier General Max, please how can your army receive our evacuation?] 】

The people who waited for the middle of the night at the regiment headquarters cheered, especially the officers of the second battalion, including Heilig, who made the loudest voices - it was too long to infiltrate the group, whether it was the first battalion or the third battalion, they all felt that sending a three-person team was an act of meat buns beating dogs, and they were not optimistic, but Jacob's team slapped them in the face with facts.

"Look, you can't do it, but we can do it!" Nixon frowned at the intelligence staff officer of the first battalion beside him, but the other party snorted and did not speak, and a staff officer of the third battalion on the side said: "The key is how to bring them out!" ”

"Look, you can do it." Nixon replied confidently that the 2nd Battalion was ready to respond, and even if necessary, it could directly cross the river to catch the Germans off guard - the reason why he had such great confidence was because Heilig had confidently said: Company E can completely surprise the German troops on the opposite side, and we are confident that we can break through the three-kilometer front line of the German army in one to two hours.

Colonel Sink ignored the various expressions of the officers behind him, and instead spoke to the soldiers: "Tell them that the joint team is our best soldier, and that they can follow the advice of the joint team, and that we will only be responsible for the reception, at most...... It is possible to penetrate up to two kilometers into the local positions to meet their arrival. ”

On the side of Bull Village, Bane handed the translated telegram to the brigadier general who couldn't wait.

After reading the telegram, the brigadier general's expression became gloomy, and he muttered to himself: "How is it possible for us to break through to the forefront of the position from the siege of the Germans?" ”

"General, how are they going to pick us up?" The major on the side asked impatiently.

"See for yourself." The brigadier general handed the telegram to the major, and when the major saw it, he slapped the telegram on the table, smashed the table in annoyance, and said, "Fake! How could we do that? ”

After listening to the words of the two officers without confidence, Bane interjected: "Sir, you can ask Jacob - he is the best soldier of our 506th regiment, and the smartest soldier, he must have a way!" ”

……

Zheng Yingqi was called by the brigadier general, but by the time he came, he already had a fairly good understanding of the situation - the understanding of the situation made people speechless.

Because the British paratroopers did not trust the underground resistance organization, the underground resistance organization in Boer Village was in a state of disconnection with its surrounding partners during this period of time - that is to say, the resistance organization in Boer Village only knew a little bit of movement around it, and more news was still more than 20 days ago.

This is too far from Zheng Yingqi's imagination - the reason why he took on this task is that he feels that with the help of the local snake, he can understand the situation of the surrounding German army, and then look for life in a lot of intelligence, Zheng Yingqi tends to attack a German logistics convoy, disguised as a German army and swagger directly through the front line, but this needs enough intelligence to support.

But......

The current Bul village is in a state of blindness!

Why is the ground snake powerful? It's because of the channel! But under the influence of the British masters, the resistance group in Boer Village actually broke away from the friendly units!
