"Brothers, hurry up, we're going to land!" Pell in the nose compartment yelled loudly.

With a "boom-" sound, the glider glided on the ground, and then rushed headlong into the woods, and the violent impact caused the fuselage to jolt violently. Then the wing was stopped by a tree trunk, knocked over several bowl-sized trees, and finally stopped. As soon as he stopped, he heard another "boom" sound not far away.

"God!" Lenny whispered, then crossed his chest, "We're finally landed, thank God!" "Then I was dizzy from the impact of the landing, and the bumps.

As soon as the glider stopped, Parks was the first to walk out, and he smiled at his brothers in the cabin, "Welcome to Earth, guys." Then he quickly stood on the sidelines, and signaled a nearby crash - a metal onomatopoeia that resembled the sound of a frog.

It didn't take long for Parks to get a response from there. Apparently Wales they landed safely as well.

"Oh my God, I'm hurt!" At this time, someone in the team who walked out of the cabin exclaimed softly, Parks looked for a voice, it was Hux, and then in the faint night, it could be seen that he was covering his neck in a panic, and kept shouting, "God, am I going to die?" God, I don't want to die like this! ”

Parks walked over, took away his hand covering his neck, stretched out his hand and touched it there, there was only one opening, and there was nothing in the way, and he couldn't help but whisper sternly: "Okay, Private Hux, you just scratched your skin, you didn't miss arms or legs, you better shut up now, think about when you ask for a mission, don't be like a coward!" ”

Parks' words made Hux's heart gradually settle down, and he felt it with his hand again, although he could still feel the blood on his hand, but he could also feel it, it was just a cut, and it didn't constitute harm, and he apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry, I'm just nervous, I don't want to mess up." ”

Parks saw that all the brothers were out of the cabin, so he ignored him and only ordered, "Martin, you take a few brothers to keep watch around, and I hope you don't alarm the Germans." ”

As he spoke, Wales came with someone and shouted in a low voice, "Parks, we need to cover up the glider, and we'd better get some branches for the brothers!" ”

Parks nodded, "Great idea!" Then he turned back and said, "Lenny, go and find some branches with your brothers, we can't let the Germans find us easily." ”

"Okay, Lieutenant!" Ranny said, beckoning to his brothers, and began to work.

Parks did all of this, then asked Wales, "Harry, is anyone hurt?" ”

"Kaber's head was broken, and there was a little bit of blood, and he was an unlucky man, and there was nothing wrong with the others." Wales nodded, "I've asked someone to find some branches to cover the glider." Now what do we do? ”

Parks took out his pocket watch and compass, looked at it with the help of the faint glow of a small flashlight and extinguished it, then looked into the woods and said, "We are now on the south bank of the Arnhem River. It's a wooded area, and the woods are very dense, which is very beneficial for us, so we have to take advantage of that. ”

"Well, tell me your plan!" Wales rushed to Parks.

"Harry, you must wonder why the scouting mission brought so many people out, in fact, it was not General Taylor's mistake, but I suggested it to him. We now have thirty-seven men, the strength of a platoon, so when Operation Market Garden begins, we may be a surprise soldier to seize the south bank of Arnhem. ”

Wales winked at Parks and said, "Actually, I guessed a little bit about this." I knew you wouldn't do it as simple as finding out if the Germans had tanks or not! ”

"Of course," Parks smiled at Wales, "well, Harry, I need you to lead the brothers forward and hide five miles from Arnhem Bridge. And I will lead a squad, lurk near the bridge, conduct reconnaissance, and as soon as we find the tank forces of the Germans, we will telegraph the situation to General Taylor, and then we will wait here until Operation Market Garden begins. ”

"Great idea!" Wales nodded, "It's very challenging, I like it." ”

While the two were talking, Martin had already hidden the glider with his brothers, and then gathered the brothers with Randolphin and Goneri to wait for Parkes' orders.

"Lee Gotte, Webster." Parks walked to the front of the line and shouted, "Follow me." The rest followed the orders of the Welsh lieutenant. Now let's go! As he spoke, he beckoned to Lee Goat and Webster, who had come out of the ranks, and then cleared the way in front. Head deeper into the woods.

"Guys, now it's forbidden to speak loudly, no fire." Wales lowered his voice from the side, "Lutz, don't grab the ass of the guy in front, let's follow, don't let your platoon commander fight alone, hurry up!" ”

The group quickly swooped into the woods, and they cautiously moved forward, Parks looked around to eliminate the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the road, but it was clear that the Germans did not expect a platoon of American GIs to penetrate deep into their rear, and they could not have arranged for a sweep here. This was completely unexpected. No one wants to come to their death.

The team stopped about five miles from Arnhem. Parks nodded at Wales and said, "Take care of the brothers, Harry!" Don't take risks lightly, don't worry, we'll be fine. ”

"If you dare not come, you know we have some brandy left, and I'll eat it alone!" Wales patted Parks' hand and smiled, "I'll leave it to me here!" ”

Parks nodded, then beckoned to Lee Gotte and Webster, "Alright, let's go!" It's time to say goodbye to the other brothers. We don't have much time, only one day. So saying, he walked forward, and did not look back. He was followed by Ligort and Webster, who burrowed headlong into the woods.

The "rustling ......" makes a slight noise when stepping on the dirt of the woods, and only in the dead of night can it be alarmed.

"Webster, you're nervous?" Parks heard Webster's breathing beside him a little heavy, and couldn't help but lower his voice.

Webs nodded and whispered, "Yes, sir, my heart is beating a little fast. ”

"You're a veteran, you've been in Normandy, you shouldn't have this reaction!" Parks continued to speak to Webster, "Take a deep breath, it might be better for you, we're not just going to be observing the neighborhood, we're going to go deep into the town on the south bank of Arnhem." This way we can get accurate information! ”

When Webster heard this, he immediately stammered, "Sir, how can we get into the town?" You know, it's all Germans, we ...... There are only three of us! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slight sneer from Li Gaote beside him.

"What are you laughing at?" Webster said with some dissatisfaction, "What I said is the truth! ”

Lee Gotte smiled at Parks, "Boss, this guy doesn't believe you. Tell him how we used to get into the German headquarters, kill them all, and swagger back to our lines? Apparently this guy still has questions about what we've done. ”

"I don't want to talk about the old things, if you want to tell him, I have no objection to you telling the story a little more completely." Parks smiled, but his eyes kept glancing around, cautiously taking every step forward.

"No problem!" Lee Gotte smiled, then said to Webster, "Want to hear it?" Yokel! ”

"Who are you talking about hillbillies?" Webster was a little annoyed, he snorted heavily at Liegot, and then spread his hands and said, "Okay, get rid of it, you just say, don't sell it!" ”

Parks didn't stop the two of them from bickering, their voices weren't loud and couldn't be heard far through the woods. What's more, this area is still the emptiest opponent of the Germans, and it is likely that it has been ignored by them. That's why Parks chose to land here. After all, in the history we know, Arnhem's German army was nothing more than a remnant of the defeated generals, and they were still far from the Allied front positions.

Lee Gault was still bragging to Webster about his victory, which was clearly his most glorious and triumphant battle before this, and it became a lifelong feat.

"You mean put on a German uniform and sneak into the city?" Webster was taken aback, it was obvious that the idea that Li Gaot said, and then thought of the situation of the three of them, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Leegaut and himself and Parks were all fluent German-speaking people. Then it was clear that the lieutenant was planning to repeat the old trick.

"Yes, you're right!" Parks turned around and smiled at Webster, "But not now, we're going to observe the Germans in the woods first, and then we're going to go inside the city, and we won't stay long." I have already suggested in the plan to get in touch with the Dutch underground resistance and they will take us to the places we want to see. ”

"You mean, we're going to swagger into the city and get them the picture open," Webster looked at Parks, and then at Legot.

Lee Gott grinned at him, and blinked his eyes with a hint of disdain.

It was clear that Webster was irritated by his eyes. He said fiercely, "Well, sir, I believe you, if I really want to wear that uniform, I will think of myself as a German." ”

"Better that way, or you'll show your flaws!" Parks responded, and kept walking, the five-mile walk seemed like a long time, for Parks was walking cautiously. Then when it was almost dawn, they came to the end of the forest.

The morning mist, under the sunlight that had just shone, gradually dissipated.

The Arnhem Bridge gradually reveals its form, and on the south bank of the bridge, you can see the fortress built by the Germans, as well as strong fortifications. On the fortifications, the MG42 heavy machine gun emitted bursts of cold light under the sun's rays, piercing people's eyes.
