"Stop. Otherwise, your head will bloom! Five figures emerged from the bushes on their flanks, and they raised their M1 rifles and aimed them at the Poles.

Sandra froze for a moment. They didn't think that there was someone in ambush next to them, holding a gun and not knowing what to do.

"Put down your goddamn guns. Hurry up, do you want to eat guns? A person next to him said in a cold tone, "Don't test my patience, I'll only count three times, damn it, put it down quickly!" ”

Sandra came to her senses, and as soon as she let go of her hand, her rifle fell to the ground. Then his hands were raised, and the three Poles beside him also lowered their guns and raised their hands.

One of the five people came out and said to them: "We are the first platoon of Company E of the second battalion of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army, and I am Lacey?" Lieutenant Parkes. You must now believe me, I want to see your Admiral Sushabowsky, there is important information. Parks shook his head at Sandra, "Take us in, soldier!" ”

Sandra already believed him, and he stammered, "I can only take you to the headquarters, you can tell them yourself!" With that, he gestured to the others and began to walk towards headquarters.

"Hey, man, your weapons!" One of them said loudly to him.

Sandra turned around in embarrassment, picked up the weapon with the other brothers, and muttered in a low voice, "Damn American GI!" ”

"What did you say?" Behind him, Goneri heard Sandra muttering and asked aloud.

Sandra turned her head and smiled, "I said, welcome to the arrival of the Americans, we thought reinforcements had arrived!" ”

"We are the reinforcements, here to save you from the predicament!" Goneri smiled, "That's true! ”

The headquarters of the Poles was in a cellar in the village farmhouse, and General Sushabowski was in a dilemma. If they had crossed the river to reinforce the British 1st Airborne Division, it was clear that they could not find ships, and there was strong German fire on the opposite bank. If you want to occupy the southern end of the bridge, it is clear that you don't have enough strength.

Admiral Sushabowski, lit a cigar, took a puff, and continued to scour the map, trying to find something out of it, but it was clearly a boring move after being embarrassed, and in fact, he was resigned to his fate. In particular, communication with the 1st Division was completely interrupted, and the current situation of the 1st Division was not known at all.

"General, there is someone outside who claims to be a part of the 101st Division of the United States, and the leader is a lieutenant, and he wants to see you!" At this time, a colonel hurriedly walked in and said to Admiral Sushabowsky, "He said that there is important information. ”

"101st Division?" Sushabowsky couldn't help but wonder, the 101st Division is still in Eindhoven, how could their people appear here? He subconsciously asked, "Has your identity been confirmed?" How many of them are there? What about armament? ”

The colonel nodded and said: "The identity has been confirmed, they are indeed from the 101st Airborne Division, and one of them is quite famous, the platoon commander of the first platoon of Company E of the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Regiment, called Lacey?" Lieutenant Parkes's. ”

"Lacey? Parks? ”

"Yes, General. It was in Normandy that he led 11 members of their division's E Company to form a commando team, went deep into the rear of the Germans, saved the prisoners of war and eliminated the guy in the German command. I've seen him in the newspapers, and I can't be wrong. The colonel nodded, "General, are you sure you want to see him?" ”

Sushabowsky hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, bring him in!" He suddenly had a hunch in his heart that this Parks would definitely bring him good news. Although he didn't know why this guy was here, but thinking of the mission that this guy had carried out before going deep behind enemy lines, he must have his reasons and methods for appearing here!

Admiral Sushabowsky suddenly looked forward to it. He took a puff on his cigar, and then in the smoke he saw a sturdy young man walking in diagonally with an M1 Garand rifle, smiling all over his face.

"Hello, General!" Parks saluted the middle-aged man with a figure-eight beard.

"Lacey? Parks? Admiral Sushabowsky couldn't help but ask his question again, and then he realized that this sentence was complete nonsense, which made him a little embarrassed, "I mean, how did you end up here?" ”

Parks couldn't help but smile slightly, "We landed here in a glider on the orders of General Taylor, the day before Operation Market Garden began. Our task was to scout the real intelligence of the Germans and then hand it over to the Allied command to make the right decision. Then it was time to continue to lurk, waiting for the right moment, to strike at the Germans. ”

Admiral Sushabowsky couldn't help but laugh and said: "What information have you detected?" ”

"We know that there are German armored units here, and they are ready for it." Parks shrugged his shoulders, "But...... You know the results! ”

"It's the Command's fault!" Colonel-General Sushabowsky blushed a little, it was clear that this intelligence General Taylor had spoken about it at the headquarters, but no one listened to it. The British wanted to fight for a big victory, and they were carried away by a smooth attack. At the beginning, he also raised doubts, but General Montgomery was stubborn.

"Well, what do you want to tell me, Lieutenant!" Feeling that this unpleasant topic could not be continued, Admiral Sushabawski changed his tone and smiled at Parkes, "German armored forces? Or a defensive fortress of the German army, or a movement of troops of the German army? ”

The corners of Parks' mouth crooked, and he smiled slightly, "No, General." I believe you have heard two loud and shocking explosions this evening, and they have come from the area south of the bridge occupied by the Germans. ”

"Yes, we heard, and guess that the German ammunition depots and oil depots were taken out!" Admiral Sushabowsky nodded.

Parks smiled and said, "General, that's not speculation, it's certainty." The Germans have already lost their ammunition depots and oil depots, because it was we who blew them up! We did it! ”

Admiral Sushabowsky stood up suddenly, then stared at Parks tightly, and then nodded for a while: "Incredible, really incredible, lieutenant, tell me, how many people did you bring?" ”

"One platoon, thirty-eight people, including two glider pilots." Parks nodded, and then briefly told Admiral Sushabowsky about the sneak attack on the oil depot and ammunition depot, and told Admiral Sushabawski how he had captured the southern part of the bridge, causing the Germans to mistakenly injure each other, and then calmly escaped.

"God! Incredible! Incredible! "Twice in a row, Admiral Sushabowsky said incredible. He looked at the young face and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You are really a clever tactician. Well, I choose to trust you now. Then I see what you mean now. Do you think I will lead my men and horses to take advantage of the confusion of the German army to capture the southern end of the bridge, so as to join up with the British and completely occupy the Arnhem Bridge? Lieutenant. ”

Parks nodded and smiled, "Yes, General, that's what I think." And, it's a great opportunity. Parks didn't say it, but he knew that this was an opportunity for the Polish paratroopers to show their way, and that it might be here that they could take the battle.

"Of course!" Admiral Sushabowsky shouted loudly, "Colonel Remster, give the order at once, let the brothers get ready, we are going to capture the bridge of the Germans." Hurry up, it's a rare opportunity! ”

"We don't care about the British on the other side of the river?" The colonel, Remster, came over and looked at Admiral Sushabawski with some surprise.

"No, what we're doing is we're helping him." Admiral Sushabowsky laughed. If they don't act at this time, then when the Germans run out of ammunition and food, and retreat themselves, they won't be able to get anything. I believe the British also know this, and after dawn, they will launch an attack to break through, and possibly also take the bridge.

Colonel Remster immediately agreed, and blew the whistle outside the barracks. The entire Polish barracks immediately began to move.

"Well done, Lieutenant Parks, you're so young!" Admiral Sushabowsky sighed heartily, "Follow me, young man, now you don't need to be a spearhead. These are left to our valiant Polish soldiers. ”

"Of course!" Parks nodded and smiled, "General, as you wish!" ”

It was already dark, and groups of soldiers were marching on the flat road, and a dozen or so jeeps were dragging full of ammunition on the road. The air on the Rhine in midsummer is a little humid, and the breath of fresh air makes people feel refreshed and refreshed.

A row of brothers looked a little tired after a long night's travel, and they followed the Poles, moving their bodies a little lazily. In the morning light, they looked like a bunch of Hanako to the well-dressed Polish paratroopers. So much so that from time to time it attracted the attention of the Polish paratroopers who passed by them and looked energetic.

"God, these people look like they're from hell!" A Polish paratrooper walked beside them, then whispered to his brother next to him, "I heard that they killed the German ammunition depot and oil depot!" ”

"Cool!" The other paratrooper nodded, then looked at the ragged American GIs beside them with admiration, "But now it's our turn to slaughter the Germans." I'm going to make them their out! "Obviously, this guy's voice is a bit loud, and he wants to be heard by the group in a row to show that he is not bad.

Wales obviously heard this guy's big words, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, little virgin, do you want to do with the Germans?" Then be spirited, and don't let the Germans break your first time. ”

"Sir, I'm ...... Not a virgin anymore! The Polish paratrooper tried to tell the difference, "I'm a man, I'm going to kill the Germans." ”

"Oh my God, how old are you?" Goneri smiled on the side, "Tell me, little man, who is that unfortunate girl?" Ha, you're blushing? God, did you lie? Only liars blush. Oh, don't tell me, you're really still a virgin! ”

The paratrooper closed his mouth and refused to say another word, he hastened his pace and walked past the brothers in a row. Obviously, he was embarrassed.

"What a group of junior brothers!" Wales shook his head at Parks and smiled, "Passionate, impulsive, hot-blooded, wanting to kill the Germans to show their courage and valor." God, I don't know what will happen to this group of Poles. Lacey, all of a sudden, I don't have a lot of confidence in these guys, it looks like you're going to plant this time! ”

Parks smiled slightly: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, they have never suffered from tigers. So it is enough for them to have enough courage, the Germans will not fight for long, they will definitely strike the Poles hard, and before they come to their senses, they will retreat! ”
