Chapter 0373: Market Garden Ends (Medium)

The Germans did not expect to be preempted by the Allies - when the Allies came out of Yuden, the Germans, who were in a hurry all the way, did not choose to confront the Allies when they saw this, but chose to retreat and wait for the main force behind.

"The Germans ran away! They were scared away by us! ”

The British tank crew shouted excitedly, looking at the appearance of ecstasy after the catastrophe, Ali couldn't help but say to Zheng Yingqi: "These guys, were they scared to death before?" ”

"That's our covenant, don't speak ill of them behind your back." Zheng Yingqi said righteously, Ali laughed, and Zheng Yingqi, who laughed at the end, was embarrassed himself, and Ali said at this time: "I actually agree with your opinion of the British army now, this person, you still have to believe in your brothers and sisters when you go to the battlefield, and other people can't be trusted." ”

The reason why Arley said this is because the British tanks were not as fast as the infantry - that is the fastest tank in the world that the British proudly proclaim!

But the cheers of these Englishmen did not last long, and soon they received an order from Winters: "Pursuit!" ”

"Is he crazy?"

"Oh my God! This is a madman! He actually wants to chase? He actually wants to chase!! ”

The British with 3 tank crews were shocked, in their opinion, the Germans should have retreated at this time, and if they caught up, they should not be sent to death?

"We have to look like we're in pursuit! In this way, the Germans can be convinced that Yuden is heavily guarded here! It's not just us! ”

Winters persuaded the British tanks - in battle, persuasion is the only way to get the other side to obey, in a sense, this in itself is a shameful defeat!

After chasing the Germans for three kilometers, Winters ordered to retreat, and his degree was very good, and the distance of three kilometers successfully created an illusion for the Germans:

Yuden is heavily guarded here.

The Germans were fooled, they mistakenly thought that Yuden was heavily guarded, so after converging the main forces, they set their sights on Wigherr - compared to Yudeng, on the Hell Highway, Wigherr's geographical location was indeed more important, so the Germans simply let go of the "heavily guarded" Yuden, but the main force rushed straight to Wigherr.

No one expected that Winters' version of the empty city plan would have such side effects.

Zheng Yingqi crouched on the church and watched as the German tanks pounced on Wigherr, six kilometers away.

He was in the rear of the German front and watched the German army approach, watched the German air force bomb it, and watched it become a paradise of bullets and bullets, a sea of fire.

"Looks like our regiment and the Germans have exchanged fire in Wigherre." Velsh climbed up to the church, looked at Wigherr in a fierce battle, and said in a complicated tone: "They...... They won't come to Yuden. ”

Welsh was frustrated - he was surrounded, and Huden was now surrounded by the Germans, but the Germans didn't care about Yuden because of Wigherr......

"I've heard the saying, 'Paratroopers are born surrounded'. Compared to the unfamiliar environment we had when we parachuted in, I thought it was nice - at least the buildings would allow us to hold out a little longer. ”

"Yes, you have a point—well, I'm just complaining to you, you know, as a commander, I can't show despair in front of my men, I have to be more hopeful than them." Welsh explained, and Zheng Yingqi nodded in understanding.

The two of them had planned to continue squatting here, but the Germans felt uncomfortable that someone was observing them like this, so the shelling began.

88mm caliber, 105mm caliber, 150mm caliber artillery, constantly spitting out shells, three different sound shells, screaming and constantly falling on Yu Deng, the solid building under the attack of the shells, like paper paste, a burst of effort, the entire Yu Deng was covered by the smoke and dust of countless buildings.

The platoon of the regimental company and the E company did not prepare foxholes, and the sudden shelling made them suffer enough, they could only hide in the corner of the building, praying that they would not bury themselves alive when the building collapsed - compared to the unfortunate friendly troops, Zheng Yingqi was lucky, after the shelling began, he dragged Welsh to a courtyard, in the courtyard there was a Dutch cellar for storing goods, although the depth was not enough, but it was safer than hiding in the corner of the building.

It was uncomfortable for two big men to be stuffed into the small cellar, but in a few minutes, Winters dragged a private in and squeezed in—this time it was even more crowded, and the four of them were squatting inside, praying vigorously that they would not be directly hit, even if it was an 88mm shell, this cellar might not be able to withstand it.

Well, in fact, the general anti-artillery holes cannot withstand the direct hit of the shell.

The shelling lasted for almost an hour, but God heard the prayers and did not let the shells hit the place directly, but when they came out of the cellar, all four of them were disgraced - because of the constant explosions, the soil in the cellar kept falling like rain, and it was strange that the four people hiding inside could feel better.

I thought that their image was sloppy enough, but after the shelling, everyone converged and discovered a funny fact - the paratroopers who did not hide in the cellar looked even more pitiful.

However, at this time, they could not bother to make fun of each other, because Winters ordered the soldiers to dig foxholes, so that in the next round of shelling, they would not have to face the shells and not have to worry about the collapse of the building and bury themselves alive.

"As long as you don't hit your foxhole directly, you can crawl out after the shelling and beat the Germans again!" Winters flicked his arms as if he could beat a damned German, and it was evident that the hour-long shelling had been fresh in his memory.

When doing civil engineering in peacetime, many paratroopers are used to being lazy, but no one dares to be lazy on the battlefield, and the shelling just now makes them remember it vividly, who would dare to joke about this?

In the usual foxholes, everyone digs about 20cm, and people can hide in it, but this time when they worked, the paratroopers went crazy, and the foxholes dug were full of meters deep - Zheng Yingqi was the most exaggerated here, and he took a few people to dig out a "trench".

", Jacob, are you going to stop the Germans here?"

After someone saw Zheng Yingqi and the "trench" they dug out, they asked in shock, thinking that they were greedy enough to be afraid of death, so they dug the foxhole so deep, but look at Zheng Yingqi's dug out, at this moment they feel that they are really brave enough~.

Zheng Yingqi drew on the side of the "trench" and said: "We will dig a few small holes here - I call them cat's ear holes, which can be more effective against shelling." ”

The paratroopers who asked the question saw that it made sense, and immediately felt that they would join here, but Zheng Yingqi and they refused, Ali said: "Man, we can't put all our eggs in one basket, in case this place is hit by shells, the loss will be big - I suggest you go somewhere else, contact someone to build such an anti-artillery fortification." ”

In fact, there is only enough space left here to dig four cat ear holes, and there is no place to stuff them.

Zheng Yingqi and the cat ear hole they dug soon attracted the attention of the paratroopers, and when the German army did not have shelling, everyone got busy and began to dig "trenches" and dig cat ear holes in the trenches.

The four people who had already finished their work became spectators on the side, and Winters was also digging his own cat ear holes, and after seeing that there were four idlers here, he drove Zheng Yingqi and the four of them to a high place to monitor the movements of the Germans.

The Germans never planned to attack Hudden, and the four men who stayed on the high ground got bored and began to pay attention to the battle of Wigherr, and the German attack was so fierce that Ali had the feeling of watching the battle of Rumler across the riverbank.

"I think that's how it looked from the outside when we fought at Rumle—I think it should be like this." Ali said with emotion.

Henry said, "Guys, can you tell me more about how you fought at Rumle?" ”

At the beginning of the Lamble, there were 5 paratroopers belonging to Company E, and finally three came back, giving people the feeling that the battle in Rumle was not as fierce as imagined, but look at the remaining troops participating in the Battle of Rumle, well, at this time it will be clear - these three guys are really lucky.

This is probably the reason why Henry has to follow Zheng Yingqi in the past two days.

"Ramler......" Ali was just about to talk about the battle of Ramler in his memory, when the scream of the cannonball breaking through the air sounded, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but saw Faris whistling down - this guy used ventriloquist to imitate the screech of the cannonball breaking through the air.

Ali and the three of them were frightened, coupled with the ugly appearance of lying on the ground just now, the three of them picked up something and smashed it down, Faris laughed and ran away, Zheng Yingqi on the side continued to watch Wigherr's battle indifferently, he was not fooled, and he would not be bored to join in the nonsense.

"Jacob, are you too stable or aren't scared at all?" Henry asked very curiously, since Zheng Yingqi showed him what a sniper is that night, Henry wrapped himself around Zheng Yingqi like kraft candy, and he learned a few hands from Zheng Yingqi when he was free.

But......

I'm sorry, it's not that Zheng Yingqi doesn't teach many things, but that he doesn't dare and can't teach!

"Listen more and you'll be able to tell if it's true or not." Zheng Yingqi said calmly - in fact, it was the first time he was bombed by such a dense shell, although he had long known that people in the war were as pitiful as a lonely boat in a tsunami, but in the shelling, he could better experience the taste of powerlessness.

As soon as Henry wanted to speak, the scream of the cannonball breaking through the air sounded, and Zheng Yingqi screamed in warning: "Shelling!" ”

"Farris, this ......bastard," Ali cursed with his feet, he thought it was still Faris making trouble, but then the cannonball exploded, and with a boom, Ali hurriedly crouched, and a shockwave came savagely from afar, stuffing Ali's mouth of dirt.

As soon as the explosion of the four shells stopped, Zheng Yingqi jumped up and shouted: "Run to the cat's ear hole!" ”

Ali and the three of them reacted, jumped up and jumped to the second floor with Zheng Yingqi, and then jumped to the ground, desperately running towards their "trench", stepping on the explosion of the second round of shelling, the four of them threw themselves into the trench, stuffed themselves into the cat's ear hole, and then grew their mouths hard, waiting for the ravages of the shelling.

Four, four, four......

The continuous shelling almost destroyed the whole of Yuden, and when the shelling stopped, the paratroopers who felt that their ears were completely destroyed, came out of their respective paratrooper pits, and Yuden, who was full of ruins, stuffed into their eyes.

Many places have changed, and the most fortunate thing for Ali and them is that the church that they used to stand on and observe has also been destroyed.

"If it's still up there, we'll have to count on the captain to collect our bodies now." Henry said with palpitations.

The shelling only lasted fifteen minutes before it began to rage again, and the paratroopers who had just breathed a sigh of relief had to go into the anti-artillery holes again and accept the ravages of the shells, Zheng Yingqi's heart was very strong, but in the continuous shelling, he had an urge to tear the enemy apart, and it was not until a hot piece of iron burned his leg that he recovered from this strange emotion.

[No wonder many people suffer from war exhaustion - how many of the people who survived such shelling are psychologically normal?] 】

Zheng Yingqi sighed that this was the first time he had received such a brutal shelling, which was ......

No wonder in the future, many Japanese devils went crazy under the attack of the US military and launched a decisive charge - they were ravaged by so many large-caliber naval guns, that taste, even more uncomfortable, right?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yingqi's mood suddenly felt much more relaxed.

……

Yuden's side has become a forgotten corner of the war, the only "entertainment" for the people left here after heavy shelling is to watch the battle in Wigherr in the distance after the shelling, in fact, the soldiers who do not have binoculars can't see anything clearly, even the officers who hope for the telescope, can't see anything clearly in the smoke of gunpowder, the only reason that can make them insist on doing this is only one - they need to decompress!

Winters had his own good observation position, a house that had been sturdy under the shelling, and he often hid here to watch the battle after the shelling, but this position finally caught the attention of the Germans, and a sniper noticed it and opened fire while Winters was watching.

Fortunately, Winters's luck was very good, the bullet grazed his helmet and flew over, hitting the wall clock on the wall, leaving a terrifying scratch on his helmet, but it also scared Winters to watch it anymore, although Zheng Yingqi immediately avenged Winters and killed the sniper who was hiding in front of him in Henry's shocked gaze, but Winters said that he didn't want this excellent observation position.

"How about this place for you?" Winters asked Zheng Yingqi with a smile, he was joking, since there are snipers who can aim at themselves, it means that the German army has placed snipers around Yudeng, and the high places are not safe.

But I didn't expect Zheng Yingqi to nod and ask for this position, and began to compete with the German snipers - a total of four German snipers died under Zheng Yingqi's hunting, this good observation position and excellent shooting position also completely completed its mission, and was directly abolished by many mortar shells.
