While the whole Allies were looking for a bright future, the German counterattack came quickly. They received supplies directly from within Germany, and then, under the cover of tank groups, aircraft and artillery groups, they drove towards the bridge. They are aggressive, and it is clear that they want to take the bridge back in one fell swoop, and it will be a quick victory, shattering the illusions of the Allies, and it is possible that the bridge will be blown up at all costs.

On the morning of September 21, the Allied planes finally airdropped the first batch of supplies, ammunition and medical supplies, which were very valuable to the British 1st Division and the 1st Polish Brigade guarding the bridge. But what they need most is manpower. After four days of hard fighting, the loss of more than half of the personnel, and the Germans have been reorganized and replenished, then the situation is already very unoptimistic.

"Supplies!" Malaki held up a piece of chocolate, tore open the wrapped paper, and said to Martin, "That's what the British will only send us." He took a hard bite as he spoke.

"I'd rather eat this than eat good dry food." Martin similarly tore open a chocolate wrapper.

"Looks like we're going to have a tough fight." Malachi looked at Lieutenant Parks, who was sitting in front of the position, looking around with a telescope, and then turned to Martin and said, "I don't know what the boss thinks." The battle here has nothing to do with us anymore. Why not just withdraw? What role can we play as people? ”

"You don't believe the boss?" Martin gave Maraki a startled look.

Malachi shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "No, it's not. I just feel that our mission has been accomplished after all. There is no point in staying here. ”

"Don't think about it so much, let's listen to the boss!" Martin shook his head, "I don't think the boss is a guy who puts us in danger at will, and I believe that!" ”

Malaki also nodded and said, "Me too!" ”

While Malach was talking to Martin, Webster pulled out a notebook and pencil from his bag. It was his habit to start writing and drawing on paper, and he wanted to write down these valuable experiences on paper, whether it was cowardice, courage or other trivial matters, and sometimes, he even used this time to write letters to his mother about some of his feelings.

"Hey, college student, for your girlfriend?" Kaber leaned over and smiled at Webster, "Why don't you let everyone share it?" Do you have a photo? ”

"No, it's not. A little bit of what I wrote casually! Webster hurriedly said, "Maybe it's for my mother, and if I want to write a letter in the future, I might be able to use it." ”

"Oh, that's a great idea!" "If Lieutenant Parks insists on being with these Britons and Poles, this can be considered a suicide note to Mom." ”

"Shut up, Kaber!" The big cow next to him, Landauman, couldn't help but interject.

Kaber raised his hands, then nodded, "I know, Randolphan squad leader, but it's obviously not a good idea to stay here." We were even two more days longer than the Brits, and before they could start parachuting, we crashed headfirst into the woods in that damn glider. Can't we just go back first? ”

"I can understand!" Randolphin's side nodded at Kaber.

"So, why can't you non-commissioned officers suggest it to Lieutenant Parks?" Kaber's eyes lit up.

Goneri couldn't help but laugh and said, "There's something you have to understand. I say I understand, it doesn't mean I agree. It doesn't mean that I already understand, and it doesn't mean that I'm listening,"

"Then why do you say that?"

"Everyone likes to hear this, so it's good if everyone is happy!" Gurnerey smiled and spread his hands.

The big bull Lan Daoman also smiled on the side: "Mr. gonorrhea wants to comfort and comfort you, so this is the best word to comfort people!" ”

"Always let those who are depressed and aggrieved get temporary spiritual comfort. Although when they understand the truth, they often go crazy. Webster added, "What is this called?" Psychic outlet. ”

"Oh, what kind of bullshit is that?" Karber shouted at Webster, "Why are you all coming at me?" I'm just saying what you don't want to say or don't dare to say! Then he looked at Landowan and Goneri.

"We didn't think so, Kaber!" Randolphan puts the cigar in his mouth.

"Don't look at me, I didn't think about it!" Gurnei said.

"Me too!" Webster shook his head.

Kaber slapped his forehead with one hand and lamented, "Damn, I did a bad job!" Looks like I'm the only one here who looks stupid, or maybe we're all smart! ”

"I agree with that!" Goneri raised his hand, a serious word.

Webster and Landaman couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh. It was clear that no one cared about Kaber's words, and Parks was observing the front, and he already had a faint sense of the thunderous blow that the Germans might take. To tell the truth, letting these two remnants continue to guard the Arnhem Bridge is definitely an extremely wrong guiding ideology.

"Harry! The Germans were going to fight a quick victory, and it seemed that the British and Poles were not having a good time! Parks put away his binoculars and smiled at Wales.

"We're going to accompany them to the shells of the Germans?" Wales spread his hands, "I don't think it's a good idea. It's going to kill a lot of my brothers. If the Germans had sent bombers to attack the bridge, the odds of us being able to hold it were almost negligible. And once the bridge was blown up. God, we're going to have to swim across the Rhine! ”

"I agree!" Parks nodded and smiled, "I'm sure the British have thought of this too, but they are too rigid to blindly follow orders, and it is absolutely extremely stupid to set up the headquarters at the southern end of the bridge!" ”

"Are you going to warn them?" Wales smiled at Parks.

"No, no, I don't want to show the fact that we're smarter than the British." Parks shook his head and smiled, "The British still have a little conscience, at least. General Urquhart did not intend to put us on front-line positions and fight the Germans. Our people are under my own command! ”

Wales whistled and laughed, "That's great news!" On this basis, General Urquhart was a little bit stronger than the other British, and he was close to the Americans! This is also the reason why he was able to become a general among the British. ”

Parks smiled slightly, then turned to Wales, "Harry, I have a plan that might be useful in times of crisis. ”

"Tell me the truth, I'm very interested in your plans right now, and it's always a surprise." Wales smiled at Parkes, "Honestly, this is the most enriching experience I've ever had." ”

Parks nodded, then spread out the map, then took out a pencil and said, "The German attack will start from the village of Desaikel, and there will be a 20-kilometer road in the middle, and it will take about two hours to arrive." Before attacking the German oil and ammunition depots, we observed that the situation here was somewhat similar to that of Normandy, with fences and bushes everywhere. ”

Wales couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Lacey, I know what you mean, you want to ambush on the road." But the Germans will definitely have tank groups, and we only have a platoon, and the rigid British and Poles will certainly not mobilize their already weak forces to cooperate with you in an ambush, there is no point! ”

Parks nodded, "I know." But it wasn't the German soldiers who ambushed us, we had to do a big deal. It doesn't take many people, just a few are enough. Good marksmanship. ”

"What do you want to do?" Wales was taken aback, "Want to snipe the commander of the Germans? ”

Parks nodded, "That's what it means." That's the only opportunity we can create. The resistance of the British and Poles was unreliable. If the Germans continued to attack, they would have no choice but to die. I don't want to stay here for the British and Poles! You're saying we're all smarter than them, aren't we? ”

"The chances are slim!" Although this made sense, Wales still made a rational judgment, "Lacey, don't take any chances, there may be no return!" ”

Wales is quite right, if the commander of the Germans is really sniped, then the Germans will be turned over all around, and the possibility of successfully getting out is too small.

Judging by the current situation in Wales, he was not wrong at all. But snipers in modern warfare are not so easy to detect. And Parks was a master of sniping before he was alive, so it's not impossible to escape. The chances he gave himself were five to five.

"Trust me, Harry!" Parks smiled and patted his arm, "What danger didn't we go through?" Aren't they all right? This time it will be the same. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Wales nodded helplessly, "This is my only condition, there must be someone to take care of you, otherwise you will get lost." ”

"No, no, you stay here." Parks shook his head at him, "You are needed here, Harry. If there is a brief confusion in the Germans after losing their commander, then you must retreat quickly, whether the British agree or not. It doesn't matter if the bridge is blown up, here, there is a ferry crossing, you can take people to cross the ferry. ”

"And the Vitor ferry?" Wales looked at Parks in surprise, "You had a plan?" ”

Parks smiled slightly: "Yes, I planned it before we started the reconnaissance operation, you must know that this mission seems to be a very dangerous mission, but I will definitely not let my brothers go to danger easily." Careful planning is the most basic guarantee for the protection of the brothers, Harry, rest assured. ”

Wales shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly: "Okay, you have impressed me, I will lead a platoon of brothers and take good care of them." Rest assured! ”
