Chapter 384: Thoughtful Montgomery

On the Dunkirk beachhead, when Montgomery entered the hospital to visit the wounded, the sound of a loud air raid siren suddenly sounded one after another.

The wounded soldiers outside the hospital heard the air raid sirens and all rushed to the hospital for refuge. Subconsciously, people always felt that it was at least safer in the building than in the open field, and the entire expeditionary force position soon resounded with noisy invectives, anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns at the same time.

German ME-109 fighters were the first to appear, and these fighters repeatedly fired at the crowded areas of the British and French forces, and dozens of fighter groups were heard by the sound of the scolding, and rows of bullets swept like waves towards the Allied anti-aircraft guns.

???? After strafing the position of the anti-aircraft guns on the ground, the fighters quickly flew over the area to the next target.

???? Major General Montgomery, when the sirens sounded, kept his head looking up at the sky. Even if there were fighter jets flying overhead, he didn't have a sense of crisis and didn't come to his heart, there were not many people here, and he wouldn't welcome the attention of German fighters, so it was a safe place in his opinion.

????“ Bang, bang, "In the sky with extremely low visibility, the explosion of anti-aircraft shells like fireworks, the deafening sound of explosions and the sound of heavy machine gun fire rendered the whole sky extremely mysterious.

????“ Rumble! Rumble! Several ME-109s were shot down, and in the twilight as the sky darkened, they were like fireballs, clearly illuminating a limited range of the sky.

Subsequently, the dense group of bombers flying in the distance was again black, and the number alone was nearly a hundred, and the British officers who discovered this situation immediately shouted loudly that the bombers were coming.

???? In the command post, when Vice Admiral Brooke saw the bomber figure in the place clearly, the whole person immediately exclaimed in surprise with a big change in his face: "It's not good, we need to find a place to hide, it's a Stuka bomber with a very high baseline!" These things are terrifying, and the command needs to be evacuated immediately! ”

Even at dusk, it's not hard to recognize Stukka's signature curved gullwing wings through binoculars. As for the "flying precision artillery" of the Stuka bomber, not to mention Captain Brooke, even if he is replaced by Commander Gort, he will definitely have to give the order to run away immediately.

????“ The sound of the engines of hundreds of bombers ...... deafeningly came, as if it was about to tear the sky apart, and it was like a continuous thunderstorm in the sky. When the Stuka bombers flew into the area where the headquarters of the British Expeditionary Force was located, a sharp and deadly screeching noise sounded.......

One deadly bomb after another, with the 90-degree dive of the airdropped Stuka one after another, smashed to the ground, erupting with a deafening explosion.

????“ Boom, boom, boom, boom ......." A series of explosions burst into flames and illuminated the entire Dunkirk beachhead of the British Expeditionary Force.

???? When Montgomery dropped the bomber's first bomb, a strong sense of foreboding immediately came to his mind. As a thoughtful general, he knew very well how erosive the already terrible withdrawal operation would be on the third day of Operation Dynamo, and the reckless high-intensity bombardment of the Germans would make the already terrible withdrawal operation.

He left behind the large forces of the British Third Division and hurried to the Dunkirk beachhead with the division headquarters, in order to return to the country as soon as possible and find an opportunity to show his strength again? But if he waits like this, it is estimated that his idea of returning to China can really only be used as an idea that stays in his mind and can never be realized.

No, we have to find a way to return home as soon as possible. Montgomery had a hunch that the generator might die soon. And the day when the operation is terminated is probably not too far away.

Just when Montgomery was at a loss, a young female nurse, who had long since lost her position, fled to Montgomery's side in a panic, and then she said something in front of Montgomery as if she had found a savior.

Unfortunately, the explosion was so loud that Montgomery couldn't hear the nurse.

????“ Buzz...... "Just as the three Stuka bombers flew not far from Montgomery, the shrill sound of Stuka's bomb dropping suddenly rang out.

From the moment Stuka began to dive from a high altitude, a strong sense of crisis quickly spread through Montgomery's entire heart. He didn't care what the distracted nurse in front of him was saying, so he grabbed her and hurried away from the damn place.

???? When the nurse held her palm in Montgomery, her whole person showed a sweet inner smile, and she hadn't been held by the man she loved in front of her for a long time.

Of course, the reason why Montgomery took the nurse's hand and took her to escape was not because he fell in love with her, but purely because he was in the kind of gentlemanly demeanor that was unique to the British engraved in his bones.

Although the British often erupt between men and men with some wonderful emotions that transcend gender, such as Turing and his ilk, who were framed and killed by Reinhardt before. However, between men and women, the British also maintain a characteristic that they call gentlemanly manners.

This kind of gentlemanly demeanor has nothing to do with love, but it is of great significance. To put it bluntly, there is a spiritual advocacy in the UK, even if a gay man who has no feelings for women, when he encounters a lady in trouble, he should also carry forward his gentlemanly demeanor and take the initiative to relieve the woman.

Of course, Montgomery was not a gay man, he just didn't have that mutual affection for the female nurse. However, this did not affect him to take the hand of the female nurse and lead her to escape.

On the other hand, when the female nurse saw Montgomery running around like a headless fly, she couldn't help but remind, "General! Why don't we go to the hospital and hide, it's dangerous to stay out here!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, three bombs dropped by Stuka from the sky landed and exploded in the field hospital suggested by the nurse......

"Run to a place with fewer people, don't follow the crowd, avoid buildings!" Montgomery's explanation came from the nurse's ears.

It turned out that the thoughtful Montgomery was not running around like a headless fly just now, but deliberately avoided the crowd that moved regularly to prevent being targeted by German fighters.

Ignoring the female nurse's suggestion to escape into the building was also a decision made by Montgomery early on. Although the subconscious of the person will think that in a solid building, it will be safer than in the outdoors without support. But Montgomery, as a qualified and rigorous general, knew very well that in the air raids, it was precisely those outdoor skirmishers who were rarely "taken care of" by enemy aircraft, and those seemingly solid structures were the key targets of enemy bombers.
