"Why don't we celebrate with the British?" Kaber looked at the reveling British and Poles, and couldn't help pouting, "Didn't we save them?" ”

"Shut up, Kaber!" Martin said to him.

"Hey, what did I say wrong?" Karber spread his hands to the other brothers in the row, and said incomprehensibly, "Do I look like a clown, or a fool?" ”

"Okay, Kaber, we don't care about you, you're just a small character." Hubler shook his head and said, "The British will be grateful to us, and then greet you with their wine and women with big breasts, but all this will have to wait until we go back to England, who cares how you feel now?" ”

"Okay, I'm going to have to get some air. Because...... Oh, I don't need those damn reasons, I'm going to go, who cares about me? Kaber said dissatisfied, and walked out of the crowd.

"I'll bet ten dollars, this guy must be showing off in front of the British!" White suddenly raised his hand to the side and said, "Who else wants to bet?" Big bull, do you want to bet? ”

"No, no, I don't want to waste my money on this guy, you can play by yourself!" The bull shrugged his shoulders at White, looking indifferent.

"Alright, well, once it comes to Kaber, this game can't be played!" White raised his hand in surrender, "But the British, please come over, will you have a glass of tequila?" ”

"I don't know, don't ask me, why don't you wait for him to come out and ask yourself?" Landowman smiled, then looked at the smiling Miller sitting not far away and exclaimed, "Hey, boy, are you feeling particularly good or excited right now?" The first time you go to the battlefield, you can be lucky enough to follow the leader to perform such a crazy mission. ”

"Yes...... Yes, Randolph squad leader! Miller still seemed a little reserved, but his heart was quite excited and even happy, and there was an emotion that wanted to burst out in his chest.

"Okay, then you have to remember well, follow us well in the future, maybe you will have a second or even a third chance!" Landowman said and gave a thumbs up to Miller, Heflang, and Hux, "You guys are qualified, very good!" ”

Although the brothers did not participate in the celebration of the British and Poles, their hearts were very satisfied, after all, they were now saviors. White's guess was also very correct, and Kaber was now surrounded by a large number of British and Polish paratroopers like a star, happily boasting about his skills, causing a burst of exclamations from time to time.

In the temporary joint command, the commanders are discussing the next steps. Admiral Urquhart, Brigadier General John Forlost, Admiral Sushabowski, and Lieutenant Parkes formed a strange tripartite delegation, which was engaged in heated discussions. On their table was steaming coffee. This was found by the British from the command of the Germans, who apparently forgot to take it.

"Give up? Abandon here? No, no, General Urquhart, this is no joke, we have managed to occupy this place, at least we should hold out until the arrival of the 30th Army. Admiral Sushabowsky shook his head at Admiral Urquhart, "The Germans retreated, yes, I know they will make a comeback, but I don't think we can't resist their attack." ”

Admiral Urquhart frowned and said, "I think there must be something wrong with our Allied command. We were ordered to hold the bridge for two days, but now we have been here for four days, and we have been badly damaged by the Germans, who previously told us that there were only old people and children? Oh God, what kind of shit is that? Damn it! Why didn't the 30th Army come? ”

"Maybe they're delayed!" Admiral Sushabowsky couldn't help frowning, it was clear that after the interruption of communication with the Allied command, they actually couldn't understand why the 30th Army had not yet come.

"Maybe we can hold on for a day or two, and then we'll talk about staying here!" It was clear that Brigadier John Forlouster wanted to make peace with the mud, and although he was a tough guy in battle, he seemed a little hesitant in these arguments.

"Well, that's the third opinion! Three people! Admiral Urquhart shrugged his shoulders, "I wish there was a fourth opinion, and then we would go back to the starting point of arguing." ”

Suddenly, three eyes looked straight at Parks, and throughout the argument, Parks remained silent, and it was clear that the three generals cast their eyes on Parks when the three opinions were inconclusive.

Parks shrugged his shoulders and coughed dryly, "Pretty good idea, all good." ”

This is clearly in vain. Although Parks was included in the discussion and represented the third party, it was clear that the other three had not consulted him much during the entire discussion. At this point, Parks also understands that he is only a lieutenant, and I am afraid that if he has any opinions, he only refers to the surname, or just uses it for example. The British and Poles can't get rid of that little bit of face because of what they have done.

"Alright, well, we might as well take Brigadier John Forloster's opinion and wait a day, and then we'll make a decision." Admiral Urquhart wanted to end this unpleasant meeting.

"Perhaps, we can listen to the opinion of the Allied command, or ask them why we have been waiting for reinforcements from the 30th Army for a long time, and then see the situation!" Parks finally added at the end of the group. Obviously, looking at the way everyone looked at him, he knew he might have made these people laugh.

"That's right!" In order not to embarrass the lieutenant who had saved the lives of the paratroopers of the British Empire, Brigadier General John Forlouster decided to explain to him that "there is a problem with our communications equipment, we have been parachuted in from the beginning until now, and General Browning has not been contacted, that is, everything we have done is based on speculation." ”

Parks stood up at this time, looked at General Urquhart and said, "What's so difficult about this? We still have a radio station, and if your men can use it, I think I have no problem contacting General Browning. "We've been silent on the radio since the war, and I don't know about your embarrassment, so ......" This was actually a little joke by Parks.

"Oh God!" Admiral Urquhart slapped himself on the forehead.

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard the second lieutenant who was fiddling with the radio shouting: "General, we have contacted, we have contacted them!" God, what a miracle! ”

Urquhart perked up, and walked briskly towards the ensign. Parks shrugged his shoulders towards Brigadier General John Forlouster and Admiral Sushabowski and smiled, "It seems that you don't need my radio anymore!" ”

"It seems so!" Admiral Sushabowsky smiled at Parks and said, "What do you think will be wrong with the Allies?" ”

"Why don't you wait to ask General Urquhart?" Parks glanced in the direction of Admiral Urquhart, and then saw Admiral Urquhart's face turned iron, and he was even arguing with that side about something.

"Looks like it's not going well!" Brigadier General John Forlouster glanced at the two helplessly.

"It's terrible!" Admiral Urquhart put down the earpiece and walked over to the trio, "It's unbelievable that they didn't take the Nijmegen bridge, God, the entire 30th Army stopped, and waited for a stronger pontoon, God, we're going to hold out for at least four days, until they ship the materials from England to build a strong enough pontoon bridge to get those damn bulky tanks across the river." ”

"That's what they decided?" Admiral Sushabowsky was visibly excited, "What do you say? ”

"I said, we can't hold out for a day, my division has been hit hard, and it is simply not capable of holding out for another four days." Admiral Urquhart shook his head in frustration and said, "Of course, this is all angry talk!" ”

"Do we have to pay for the mistakes of the Allies? God, the Germans will be replenished at any time, and the troops will be overwhelming, they will shrink the line of defense, and all the troops will be concentrated, how many of us do we have now? 5,000 men, I think we won't survive two days in the face of the rearmed German army. And it was also the home of the German planes. Brigadier General John Forlouster uttered uttered utterance, even in the most difficult of times, which he had not said.

"The point is, we lack food and clothing, heavy weapons, assistance, and even medical care! I am afraid that there are less than 4,000 people who can really pick up guns and do it with the Germans. Parks' words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and made the hearts of all three of them cold, and even if he was as fanatical as Admiral Sushabowski, he had to think about it.

The brief discussion of the four men suddenly fell silent, and all four of them did not speak, but all looked straight at the huge map in front of the table, from which they could see: Desaiker to Arnhem Bridge - 20 kilometers.

"So...... How do we do it? "Parks definitely doesn't want to be in the limelight in such a so-called trilateral meeting at the level of a general.

"Looks like we're going to have to carry out our orders! The Germans were immediately ready for reinforcements, and they would only need two to three hours to get there. And they will receive reinforcements from the Ruhr area, which will take half a day at most. In other words, we have less than a day to prepare from now. Admiral Urquhart muttered to himself, "God, this is crazy! ”

"Yes, but it's worth the fight, isn't it?" Admiral Sushabowsky smiled slightly, then looked at Parks and said, "Lieutenant, what do you think?" ”

"Maybe!" Parks nodded, then shook his head again, "Who knows?" "Now the occupation is different from the original market garden action, and it is really difficult to predict what the outcome will be.

He looked at Admiral Urquhart, and then hesitated: "General, well, what can we do for an American platoon to help you?" "Obviously, Parks would never approve of this stupid idea of defending the bridge. So he was determined not to mix with these guys, and when he spoke, he emphasized that he was only a platoon of people.

Admiral Urquhart looked at him, then shrugged his shoulders: "This, I still have to think about it, but you can rest now, I think when you can help, then talk!" ”

"Thank you very much!" Parks, of course, will not be polite. He nodded at Admiral Urquhart, as well as Admiral Sushabowski and Brigadier John Flott, and left!
