"I am a rock. I won't move! I slowly stuffed the snow into my mouth! So that the wolf can't see my breath! I waited patiently for the wolf to come in! A low voice in the grass, like the crooning of a cricket, shallow and almost inaudible, "I only have one bullet, I aim at the wolf's eyes, and put my finger on the trigger!" I didn't tremble! Misjudgment is not afraid! I'm already a big kid! ”

"Chief, what are you talking about?" The same very low voice.

"Nothing!" Parks was reading a line from the sniper in the movie "Soldiers in the City" in his previous life, and now he and Sifudi were clad in camouflage made of grass, lying quietly on the high ground in the woods. He watched his surroundings vigilantly through his M1 sniper rifle, and then lay motionless on his stomach like a rock.

"Are they coming here?" Sifodi's confidence was clearly not as good as that of Parkes, and although the man he was following was Parkes, the two men had to deal not with a platoon from the last rescue operation, but with two entire divisions of German troops.

"Patience, will, courage, and decisiveness are the qualities that a sniper should have, Private Sifudi!" Parks glanced at him, then turned his attention back to the road ahead.

"Chief, do you know their Supreme Commander?" Sifodi continued, "Marshal Moder? General Beatrich? ”

Parks shook his head and said, "No, I don't know, but I know their ranks!" It won't take long for the Germans to pass here. The bridgehead has already withstood the blow of saturation, and now it's time for them to strike! Wait quietly, Sifudi, aim at your enemies, and don't hesitate in any way, or it will bring you disaster. ”

"I see, Chief!" Sifudi nodded, and then quietly fell down again.

A gust of wind blew, the leaves rattled, and the sound of "banging" explosions could be heard on the bridge in the distance, and you could even feel the ground trembling when the shells exploded. A German Stuka whizzed across the sky, almost clinging to the treetops, blowing a few slender tree trunks and blowing a corner of the camouflaged grass on Parks and Sifodi.

"I hope the British will last a little longer!" Parks muttered quietly, and then said to Cifodi, "You continue to observe, and I'll save you later!" With that, he lowered his sniper rifle and walked gently towards the rear, constantly peering through his binoculars. He had to make sure that the retreat would not be discovered.

Woods, meadows, streams, and then a turn of the road is dense with grass that can directly cover people. This is the best route to get out and then there is a trail that leads directly to the ferry.

After Parks was sure that there was no problem, he returned to Sifodi.

"Did you find anything?" Parks lay down and whispered.

"There are two wild sheep 300 meters away, and other than that, there is no movement!" Xifudi said in a deep voice.

"Oh, they're not enemies, there's no need to kill them!" Parks smiled.

Xifudi suddenly turned his head and said, "Boss, how do we escape from this place?" I mean, if we get it. ”

"Two roads, one is the one that leads directly to the ferry, which is our first choice because it can get away from the Germans quickly, and it is close to the ferry, so you may be able to catch the boat. The disadvantage is that the Germans will follow us in pursuit, if we can't get rid of them easily; Then there was the waterway, which we followed along the creek all the way west and then through a grove of trees. The advantage of this road was that the water of the stream could render the noses of the German search dogs useless, and no Germans would chase us except for the fish in the stream. But we had to take a detour, so it would be difficult for us to catch the last boat in the platoon. Parks glanced at Sifodi and whispered.

Xifudi nodded, then smiled slightly: "Boss, this is really good news, we will have to work hard for the last ticket!" Then he muttered in a low voice: "This ghost land is really nerve-wracking, and I can't relax for a moment!" ”

"Shhh Suddenly Parks cried softly, "I think our prey is coming." Then he smiled at Xifudi and said, "Happy hunting!" Sifudi! ”

As Parks spoke, their bodies on the ground already felt a tremble. The troops of the Germans had already moved in towards the bridge. The rumbling of tanks and armored vehicles shook the ground.

"Happy hunting! Chief! Xifudi answered in a low voice, and then muttered in his heart, hunting? But I dare to think that I don't know who is the prey and who is the hunter.

The German tanks cleared the way in front, and groups of German soldiers followed behind the tanks. The road was open, the view was excellent, and in the scope of the sniper rifle, the Germans were methodically moving forward.

"Boss, they've stopped!" Sifudi suddenly whispered to Parks, "They stopped, here, God, did they find us?" His voice was nervous and uneasy. It's also full of anxiety.

"Relax, relax! Sifudi, they didn't find us! Parks whispered to steady his mind, "This is only suitable as a headquarters for the German army, they will set up a temporary headquarters here, this is only a kilometer from the bridge, and the terrain is open, suitable for the assembly of most men, this is the best command location for them." ”

"You've already calculated, haven't you?" Xifudi's heart calmed down a little.

"Yes, yes, or what are we ambushing here? We did not lie in ambush in the village of the Germans, nor in ambush on the narrow bend ahead? That's where we want to be. "We've got to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, judge the opponent's every move, and do what we think is right!" ”

"What if they don't have Command here anymore?" Xifudi couldn't help but ask again.

"So we're betting on our luck!" Parks turned his head and smiled slightly.

"God, I hope I heard me right!" Xifudi couldn't help but muttered in a low voice. Obviously, Parks's luck made Sifudi's heart palpitate.

"Yes, luck, Sifudi!" Parks shifted his gaze to the scope and whispered, "It seems that our luck is really good. I've always had good luck, and this one was no exception! ”

Before he could say anything, he heard Parks suddenly whisper: "The prey is coming out, Brother Sifu, look at the damn scope, if you still have any doubts, let's wait until we hunt the prey, don't be distracted!" ”

Sifudi was startled, and then quickly moved his gaze to the scope. The scope clearly projects the Germans into the eye. He could even clearly see the smiles on the faces of the German soldiers, as if they had come out on vacation. The whole German army stopped, and even the Germans smiled and lit cigarettes. The smoke rises and is clearly visible in the scope.

"At three o'clock, a general of the German army, who seems to be a major general, see if there is anyone with a higher rank than him? Sifudi, you accept this major general, he is yours! Parks whispered, then moved the muzzle of his gun slightly, and continued to look through the scope for the next target. It is clear that this major general is not the supreme commander.

"Okay, boss, leave it to me!" Sifodi groaned lowly, "If I told those fellows that I had killed a German major general, they would have stared at them in astonishment. But only if we get out of here alive. ”

"If before, I made a bet with them that I would kill the German generals, then now is the time for us to collect the money, Sifodi, I found a lieutenant general. Oh God, I know this man, SS Lieutenant General Beatlich, I think we're going to get rich. What an unexpected bonus, I didn't expect him to come in person. Parks couldn't help but smile, and then his scope never left the figure.

The SS uniform, the rank of lieutenant general, these are his hallmarks, and his characteristic thin face is impressive, which is what Parks knew about this lieutenant general in his previous life.

Parks had a good impression of the lieutenant general. In the original battle for the Arnhem Bridge in Operation Market Garden, it was this Lieutenant General Beatlich who privately allowed the British to withdraw the seriously wounded soldiers from the battlefield and pass through the German line to the British garrison field hospital. He also echoed Rommel's overthrow and arrest of the Nazi axe, and believed that the first person to be arrested was the SS Führer Hitler. In February 1945, he was stationed in Vienna, but he transferred his troops out of Vienna to avoid destroying the famous cultural and musical capital of Germany and Austria because of the fighting, and because of this, he resisted Hitler's military order to "hold the ground and fight to the last soldier". It is hard to imagine that such a general actually came from the command of the SS.

But today, unfortunately, he appeared in his scope. Parks has always adhered to one purpose: to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. It was clear that he had to let the German SS lieutenant general fall at his gun.

"Steady, steady!" Parks kept reminding Sifudi so that he wouldn't get angry because he was nervous. In his own scope, the figure of Lieutenant General Bittelich stood behind several German cadets, whom he was surrounded by. Judging from the scope, it seemed as if he was constantly issuing orders.

The shelling and bombardment of the Germans continued. Although not as fierce as at the beginning, it was largely unstoppable, and Lieutenant General Beatlich's strategy was to keep the British and Poles on their nerves, and then, when they were most tired and out of their mind, or when they lost their courage, strike hard, and then annihilate them, thus preventing them from escaping from the bridge.

"Damn, they blocked him!" Parks muttered under his breath.

"What do we do now?" Sifodi's eyes were aiming, and he didn't relax for a moment, "I've already aimed at that German major general, leader, do you want to shoot?" ”

Parks looked at him, and then said, "Okay, you follow my orders, hold steady first, and wait for the shells to explode before we shoot, so that we don't expose ourselves." ”

After a series of orders, the tanks and infantry of the German vanguard began to advance, and Lieutenant General Beatlich separated the surrounding colonels and beckoned to the major general.

The space is vacated.

At this time, it happened that one of the German shells made a huge explosion in front of it, and the opportunity flashed.

"Now, fire!" Parks said decisively, then pulled the trigger.

"Boom-" The shell made a loud explosion, and then in front of the eyes of all the German officers and soldiers, blood splattered from the chest of Lieutenant General Bitlich.
