Admiral Urquhart had already given the order at dawn, and he was ready to break through. He judged that the Germans would certainly not be able to fight for a long time after the ammunition depots and oil depots were blown up. This is their chance.

The sound of a "beep" whistle wafted over the village of Österbek. The British soldiers looked nervous, they had just received orders, Admiral Urquhart decided to fight a final battle, so as to open up the connection with the north side of the bridge, and to join the second battalion led by Brigadier General John Slofort, who was guarding the north side of the bridge, so as to stabilize the defense of the north side of the bridge.

On the road leading from the village to the north of the bridge, German chariots waited quietly in the woods, their bulky bodies covered with branches and grass. The Germans waited silently, their barrels and muzzles glowing coldly, and in the early morning glow the figures of the British seemed to emerge from the horizon, and they walked in a neat stride as if they were going to participate in the review.

A sharp whistling sound pierced through the morning mist, and the cannonballs hit the ground headlong with a huge explosion, and the air mixed with earth and gunpowder smoke instantly filled the ranks of the British.

"Germans!" Someone screamed in a shrill voice.

The neat procession of the British, as if swept away by the flood, suddenly scattered in all directions. But the Germans had already opened fire, and the guns of their tanks and 88mm anti-aircraft guns continued to neigh in a terrifying way, and then splashed bursts of dirt on the ground, which also continued to devour the young lives of the British.

"General, we were pinned down by the Germans. Their firepower is fierce! A colonel crawled over and said to Admiral Urquhart, who was lying on the edge of a dirt slope, "Their fire is fiercer than it was the other day." Are they aware of our intentions? ”

"No, it can't be!" Admiral Urquhart, frowned, but it was clear that the fierce counterattack of the Germans was unexpected. He was a little puzzled. But now that the troops are suppressed here, it is equivalent to a slaughterhouse for the Germans. Now the British army did not have any good counterattacks, and there were no good fortresses to rely on.

"We've got to find a way to get rid of those tanks!" Admiral Urquhart was very nerve-wracking, the dozen or so German tanks in front of him were a huge obstacle between the two armies, "Colonel, you immediately arrange for someone to use a bazooka to kill the tanks." ”

"Yes, General!" The lieutenant colonel crawled away, obviously it was extremely difficult to break through the dense German fire to blow up the German tank, but it was the only way.

"Boom-" exploded, and a German tank was hit by a bazooka, which soon caught fire. But the two British soldiers were quickly beaten into a hornet's nest by the Germans. They fell headlong to the ground, and the blood soon soaked the ground around them. It was the British who paid for the life of the tenth grenadier in exchange for the destruction of a German tank.

"Damn it!" Admiral Urquhart frowned and cursed. Now I'm in a dilemma. The Germans seem determined to collide with them here. It seems that the destruction of ammunition depots and oil depots did not affect them in the slightest. Their artillery is still sharp, and their fighting spirit seems to be strong.

"What the hell is going on?" Admiral Urquhart was a little puzzled, they were going to take a desperate gamble? But Urquhart is clearly thinking about a problem, too. That is, how long can this group of Germans hold out now? Now it seems that the comparison should be the surname Nai, if this group of Germans runs out of ammunition, then there is only one result, to be hunted down and killed by themselves. Knowing this result, why didn't you retreat?

Admiral Urquhart's mind was still spinning, and he suddenly realized that this battle was more than the surname Nai. If they could not withstand this attack of the Germans, then the Germans would take the opportunity to destroy them. If they resist their attack, there is a good chance that they will retreat quickly after a burst of onslaught.

While Admiral Urquhart was struggling with his brains, Brigadier John Forlouster was also struggling with his nerves. Last night was a very objective judgment of the situation against the German army, but this morning, this situation became more and more unfavorable for them.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a ruined wall around him was blown down. The tanks and soldiers of the Germans simply went crazy and attacked them again and again.

"General, the Germans have become even crazier. Was it a mistake in our judgment last night? Lieutenant Colonel David was clearly incomprehensible to the unusual actions of the Germans, and according to his idea, the Germans should have retreated after the oil and ammunition depots had been blown up.

"No, no, if I were German, I would do the same!" Brigadier General John Forlouster shook his head and smiled, "The Germans will definitely have to strike with all their might, and if they can wipe us out here, it will be the best result for the Germans." Even if you can't, you have to be able to kill us in large numbers, and then retreat, so that we lose the ability to pursue. Even the worst plan is not to kill us in large numbers, but it can demoralize us, make us think that they are still capable of fighting, and make us dare not pursue them when they retreat. ”

Brigadier General John Forlouster couldn't help laughing and said: "It is precisely because of this that the Germans will definitely retreat." Just see if we can survive this violent blow. If they survived, the Germans would have been a complete defeat! ”

"I hope your prediction is correct, General." Lieutenant Colonel David clicked his mouth and was about to say something, but a cannonball exploded not far from him, and a huge wave of air knocked him to the ground.

"David!" Brigadier General John Forlouster hurried over to check on his body.

"It's okay, it's okay, General!" Lieutenant Colonel David got up, but his hand was bloody. Apparently he was wounded, "It's just that the arm has a little bit of skin scratched, and this little wound is nothing, General!" ”

"David, go see the brothers, how many brothers do we have left? The Germans' offensive was so fierce that my brothers couldn't stand it! Brigadier General John Frost said to David.

"Okay, General!" Lieutenant Colonel David nodded.

In fact, the situation of the British troops guarding the northern section of the bridge was not optimistic. The Germans are on the offensive much stronger than yesterday. They don't seem to value the ammunition that is already running out. Crazy shelling of every building defended by the British army, breaking down every wall, even if it is a ruined wall, it will not let go, and the strong wall sweeps every inch of this place.

"Hold on, guys." Lieutenant Colonel David was constantly shuttling from department to department. He reminded everyone of the fighting groups loudly. "The Germans won't be able to survive for long, they will run out of ammunition. They had no ammunition and no fuel to get their tanks moving. ”

"We're going to outlast them." A British soldier with a black and dusty face smiled at Lieutenant Colonel David, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel, we won't let the Germans crush you." ”

"Well done! Keep it up, man! David patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"The Germans are coming up again!" At this time, someone was shouting, and German tanks appeared in front. Under the cover of tanks, the German soldiers once again attacked the fortress.

"Boom-" The rocket bounced on the armor of the German tank, and then exploded next to the tank, the tank had no effect in the slightest, but his muzzle turned around and opened fire on the two British soldiers who had just fired the rocket launchers. With a huge explosion, the two soldiers were blasted into the sky by the Germans.

"We don't have anti-tank bazookas, we don't have rockets!" One captain complained to Lieutenant Colonel David, "Damn, we're going to be slaughtered by the Germans." ”

"Captain, let me come! Let me go kill that damn tank! At this point, a sergeant climbed over and said to the captain, "We can kill that tank with cluster grenades." ”

"Where did you learn that?" The captain couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at the sergeant.

"Textbook! Shangguan! The sergeant smiled.

The captain didn't have time to think about it, he beckoned to the remaining brothers around him, collected the remaining grenades, and handed them to the sergeant: "Alright, we'll cover for you." Kill that damn tank! ”

German tanks were clearly still wreaking havoc, machine-gun fire at every nook and cranny of the area, and then using tank guns to destroy every wall and building that could have been used as a bunker. So that the British soldiers had nowhere to hide, were driven out of the building by the Germans like ducks, and then sniped by the Germans behind the tanks.

The sergeant quickly rushed out of cover. At the same time, the British machine guns began to strafe the German soldiers behind the tanks, holding them down, providing the sergeant with a very valuable gap time.

Soon the tanks and soldiers of the Germans were attracted to the machine guns. The muzzle began to adjust.

"Get out of the way!" Lieutenant Colonel David yelled at the covering machine gunners. But it's too late, "Boom! With a bang, the tank gun hit the machine gunner's bunker, and the sound of machine guns stopped abruptly.

"Damn it!" David couldn't help but curse fiercely.

And at this moment, the machine gun in another place began to fire at the Germans again, and it was the captain, who was personally holding the machine gun, and he kept cursing and swearing: "Damn it, son of a bitch, come on, let me kill you sons of bitches fools!" Die, you scumbags, German pigs! ”

"Captain, be covert!" Lieutenant Colonel David could only shout at him as the Germans turned their tank guns back in that direction.

"Boom-" A loud explosion was heard.

The captain's machine gun was still spewing flames. Then David saw smoke coming out of the bottom of the tank. The sergeant jumped nimbly, trying to get back from the side of the tank that had blown up its tracks and engine.

"God, I killed it!" He yelled excitedly as he ran.

"Cover him, cover him!" David shouted loudly, "Fire, don't let the Germans react." "As soon as the German tank was destroyed, the suppressed British poked their heads out of their bunkers and opened fire on the Germans with all sorts of weapons.

A German threw a grenade in this direction, "Boom! With a thud, the sergeant disappeared into the smoke after the explosion. Lieutenant Colonel David rushed forward and braved the rain of bullets from the Germans to carry the fallen sergeant, and at this time, another Englishman rushed out to help Lieutenant Colonel David, followed by a ...... Towards noon, the Germans finally stopped their offensive. Then the entire position north of the bridge fell into a deathly silence.
