Chapter 755: Civilian Evacuation

"Name."

"Charles."

"Age?"

“32.”

"Gender."

"Hey, are you bothered? You are the ones who let us out, and you have to make it up to us. Hearing the questioning, the man was already impatient.

"Yes, this is our proposal, we will not embarrass any ordinary civilian, and we will never spare any British soldier who tries to fool him or her." Said one of the agents in charge of the inspection.

The elderly, the women, and the children were let go without much questioning, but the men in the prime of life were different, and they had to be strictly screened.

For example, now, this seemingly casual young man, his index finger, is always bent as if nothing happened, which means that his heart is very anxious.

Especially now, when he showed proof of residence in the city of Exeter, but was still not let go quickly, the man was visibly impatient.

When he heard the other party's words, the man suddenly stretched his hand towards his chest, and almost at the same time, the quick-eyed agent quickly reached over and grabbed the other party's wrist.

"Grenade? Do you want to die with us? The agent had a sneer on his face, and when the other party came over, he noticed that his chest was bulging.

The man's face turned pale, he was escorted by two soldiers, and sure enough, in his chest, a grenade was inserted.

The people in line behind saw it, and they were immediately afraid, if this man broke out just now, he would have to be injured! That's a grenade, with a killing radius of more than ten meters!

"Rest assured, everything is safe with our protection." The agent said, "Our screening work is efficient, next lady, what about your documents?" ”

"Well, your subsidy will arrive in half a month, please pay attention to check." With that, he stamped a subsidy slip and the agent motioned for release.

At this time, the same scene was almost going on at the intersections of various roads around Exeter, the Germans actually regarded this place as their territory, and the citizens of Exeter were so cooperative!

The expected large-scale attack did not happen.

Inside the city of Exeter.

Who would have thought that a city of 50,000 people would be wiped out in a matter of hours? Standing in front of the city hall, Bernard's expression was a little dazed.

Here, it's an empty city, there are no citizens, only them, the warriors, what should they do?

"Brigade commander, most of the people we sent out were screened out by the Germans, and those German Gestapo are too powerful." Mills ran over and said to Bernard.

In order to create panic and to explore a way out, Bernard sent a small number of people outside, wanting to mix out, and the end was obvious, they were screened out of the civilian population by the Germans!

"This is our position, and we will fight the Germans until the last moment!" Bernard said.

There are thousands of his men, and even without the cover of civilians, they can kill and injure a large number of enemies through street fighting! It's like last night!

"Brigade commander, brigade commander, our reinforcements have arrived!" Just then, a soldier rushed over and shouted to Bernard.

Reinforcements have arrived!

Exeter is destined to become the most glorious page in the history of the British Mainland's War of Resistance, although London cannot provide enough fighters to fight for air supremacy, but in the ground battle, Britain still provided timely support.

The nearby roads were all occupied by German armored forces, but there was not only a road to Exeter, but also a river!

On one side of the city, there is the gently flowing Aix River!

At this time, in the middle of the river, several transport boats are moving quickly!

The Germans landed for the first time, and they came up with an army, and they controlled the lower reaches of the Aix, but the upper reaches were still under British control.

These transport boats are not big, they are all hundreds of tons, and on board, the company commander in charge of escorting them is looking forward to it.

Along the way, they were very worried about being patronized by German bombers, especially the terrible Stukka, after all, these transports of theirs, without any armament, were purely civilian ships.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to avoid the bombing of German bombers, and even one of the HS129 attack planes, which circled around their ship twice and finally flew away.

Now, they've finally transported the equipment!

When they landed, Bernard was already waiting on the shore, and the other party shouted loudly: "Quick, move the equipment ashore immediately!" ”

It has to be fast, and when they stop here, they will attract the attention of the Germans!

The people on the shore are also following to help, quickly bringing up weapons and equipment, almost all of which are used to fight tanks!

Sticky bombs, Molotov cocktails, explosives packs, and even small-caliber anti-tank guns!

The arrival of this batch of equipment is quite timely, the anti-tank weapons they have at hand are almost exhausted, and now they can continue to fight the opponent's tanks in the city, relying on the terrain!

When the last transporter came up, there were even anti-aircraft guns on it! Not only can they hit tanks, they can even attack German bombers when they dive down!

There were not many fighters who arrived, only a little more than a hundred, but the arrival of these weapons greatly boosted their confidence.

'We need to hold out until it gets dark, and after dark, there will be more troops, into Exeter.' The arriving company commander said.

The Germans bombed so hard that the other reinforcements could not come up at all, and they had to wait until the evening, when the German bombers could not continue to bomb, and they could come up.

The same is by water, which is the most suitable way at the moment.

"Now, at once, we will lay out three lines of defense in the city, gradually retreat, and continue to kill and injure the living forces of the Germans." Bernard was in high spirits and began new preparations.

Time passed, little by little, and the sun slipped to the south, and gradually slipped towards the west.

The Germans claimed that the so-called demolition would begin after two o'clock, but now, it was half past two, and there was still no movement outside!

Sitting at the top of the cathedral's tower, from here, you can see the whole city, Bernard held a telescope and looked out of the city, and the last wave of citizens was evacuating outside.

After all, there are 50,000 citizens, and it is not easy to completely evacuate.

Then, in the distance, the sound of an airplane was heard again, and in the telescope, the plane that appeared made Bernard extremely depressed, and the loudspeaker was hanging under the plane, and it was still broadcast and promoted. 20110
