The Germans chased down the stream, but they saw no sign of the British, and the colonel knew that he had been deceived, but the smell disappeared by the stream, and there was no trace or smell of people walking on the other side of the stream. They lost track of the enemy. But the colonel did not give up, and they turned back and pursued what they thought was suspicious. But they still didn't find anything. Except for two frightened goats scurrying among the grass.

The E-Company brothers, who were guarding Yuden, had all seemed relaxed since they had heard of Parks. The brothers who once thought they had been wiped out by the Germans are still alive, and this is the happiest thing. Except, of course, for officers. The order that Parks and the platoon were to accompany the British and Poles to hold the bridge for four days was known to Captain Winters and the officers of the company.

"Is Marshal Montgomery insane?" Nickerson always complained in the company, "Holding out for four days, and now that the British have suffered a heavy setback, and there are no anti-tank weapons, no artillery, no replenishment of soldiers, and even their lack of medicine, I can't imagine that Parks will survive these four days." ”

Winters was about to say something, but the technical corporal West, who was in charge of the company's communications, came over, his face was a little unpleasant, and he said to Winters: "Captain, you'd better answer, it's Captain Zink!" ”

Commander Zinke called, and he spoke quickly, like a machine gun: "Dick, I have to tell you the bad news, the Germans have begun to attack the Arnhem Bridge, and their planes have blown up the Arnhem Bridge. ”

"Parks, they've been cut off?" Winters realized something right away and said in surprise. Then he waited for Colonel Zinke to say that if it was all bad news, he wouldn't have called him first.

Sure enough, after a brief pause, Colonel Zinke continued: "Well, there is good news, the British army, under the guidance of Parks, has moved to the west of the Arnhem Bridge, and will cross the river at a ferry called Hovidol, and the Allies will cooperate with them, provide them with boats and cover, although we only have some rubber boats, but this is a hope, isn't it?" ”

Good news indeed, as opposed to the kind of desperate bad news. Winters took a deep breath, then spoke into the microphone in as soft a voice as possible, "So--Colonel, do you need us to do something?" ”

"Take your men and go to the ferry with Vitor and pick up Parks and them home!" Colonel Zink's tone was firm, "I'll let D Company take over your defense area, don't worry about defense!" The Germans have completely crossed this area! ”

"As you wish, Colonel!" Winters agreed without even thinking about it.

Seeing Winters put down the earpiece, Nickerson looked at him and smiled slightly, "Good news?" ”

"I don't know what to call this news, or if it's good news!" Winters smiled at Nexon, then yelled, "West, go get Pikak, Lieutenant Haliger, and Sergeant Tybert!" He said, turning to Nickerson, "Nick, we're going to pick people up, and this time we have to do something nice." Parks: They're going to cross the river, and we're going to a ferry called Vedore, and here it is! Winters walked over to the map, then pointed to a place, and smiled brightly.

The brothers of Company E finally got the latest news from the Parks, and they were about to go out again, only this time instead of fighting the Germans, they were going to take their brothers home.

"Oh, I can see the lovely Ruz again!" Leo? Sergeant Poehler whistled, and when he heard Tybert relay the news, it was clear that he was on good terms with Lutz in E Company.

"God bless them!" Tybert added, to be honest, that the mission sounded good, to take the brothers home, but the danger to Parks was also very great. Once the Germans caught up, then their hope of crossing the river was very small. After all, the Germans were replenished, they also had tanks and heavy artillery, and even airplanes.

Everyone in E Company was excited and nervous, ready to pack. Then I climbed into the trucks. Winters stood on the road outside Yuden, then looked at Yuden, and then at the front.

"Picking them up should be the end of this operation!" The corners of Winters' mouth twitched slightly, "I don't like that feeling, Nick. ”

"Yes, the Nijmegen bridge was blown up, and now the Arnhem bridge is also blown up. I think the Allies will have to find another way to Germany. Nickerson glanced at Winters, then climbed into a jeep lane next to him, "There's a first time for everything." We'll pick up Parks, and it's time for a good vacation. ”

"That's what General Taylor said?" Winters climbed into the jeep, sat in the driver's seat, and started the car.

"No, that's what I said to myself!" Nickerson smiled and said, "I'm sure General Taylor will say to us like this when he sees us: Hey, brave lads, I'll give you a big vacation, you go and have a good time, Paris is a good place." ”

"Well, I believe that this sentence must have been said to yourself by yourself," Winters laughed, "General Taylor would not say such a thing, he would only say, warriors of the 101st Division, I am proud of you!" ”

Winters said, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car sped away, rolling up a puff of dirt on the road. The truck, full of the brothers of E-Company, gradually faded away on the road, and finally disappeared into the green shade of the road turn.

Parks and Sifodi scurried for their lives through the woods and grass. They had to get rid of the Germans. Otherwise, it would only bring disaster to a platoon of brothers and the British and Polish troops.

"Whew, whew, whew-"

Heavy panting sounded in the forest, and the shadows of the trees kept flashing behind them, although the legs were very heavy, the two were still running, and Xifudi was already clenching his teeth. He felt that he could not hold it anymore, and the Germans were still searching and could find them at any moment. Despite the fact that they managed to get rid of the Germans by the stream.

With the help of two goats, Parks succeeded in removing their tracks, causing the hounds to lose their bearings, and misleading the Germans, and that was a rare and precious opportunity for them to distance themselves from the Germans. However, he admired Parks' whimsy. And for the first time, he also tried what it was like to ride on the back of a goat. It was ridiculous, but they managed to deceive the Germans.

"I didn't expect the goats we saw before the sniper actually did us a big favor!" Sifudi gasped, but the indescribable agitation still made him unable to speak.

"I agree, they are good goats, and I will have General Taylor award them medals!" Parks replied as he ran, "Sifodi, I think we would have run faster if we hadn't spoken!" ”

"I agree!"

The two of them ran wildly, and then they saw a path ahead, and this path was the first path that Parks had considered, the one that led directly to the ferry port with Vedor. But now both are a little hesitant. They stopped.

"What to do? Chief! Sifudi gasped, then wiped the sweat from his face with his hand, "Are we going to go this way?" He looked behind him again, and the Germans were in pursuit, and he could even smell the noise of the Germans chasing after him.

"Yes, this way, but you're alone!" Parks suddenly made up his mind. If both of them go this way, then the Germans will definitely follow the road. In the end, the two of them were not allowed to escape, and the Germans would discover the troops at the ferry. Now there is only one way, and that is to let Sifodi take this road first, and then lead the Germans away by himself, and then get rid of the Germans, and then return to the ferry. No matter what, it is safer to cross the river by yourself than with 5,000 people, and you can even swim there.

"Why?" Sifodi was startled, and then he understood why Parks was doing this!

But Parks didn't give him a chance to refute, looked at him seriously and said, "This is an order, Private Sifudi of the first class!" ”

Xifudi shook his lips, then nodded, "Yes, sir! ”

"Let's go!" Parks said to him decisively, "Right now! ”

Sifudi nodded at him, and then sped along the path. He didn't look back, but he knew that Parks would lead the Germans away and get there safely. As he ran, he suddenly felt something choke in his throat, making his eyes a little uncomfortable.

At a distance of 500 meters, Parks raised his sniper rifle, and the face of the German colonel was clearly visible. He was the German officer in charge of the search in the area. If he could be killed, then the German search would definitely be delayed for a while.

"Bang!" With a bang, the bullet "boomed", and then burrowed into the colonel's head, splashing a stream of blood.

"British!" The German soldiers were immediately frightened, and they opened fire, and a rain of bullets flew the grass clippings where Parkes had been squatting, and the earth was scattered everywhere.

Parks had long since changed places, and he was moving in the direction of the stream, and then he saw a major take command. Waving his hands, trying to get the Germans to rush to the place where they had been ambushed just now.

Parks raised his gun again, adjusted his somewhat rapid breathing, then held his breath and aimed his crosshair at the major's head, then silently said "God forbid" and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The Major fell headlong to the ground. The Germans' fire shifted quickly, and as soon as Parks left the ambush site, bullets sent grass clippings flying there. Parks continued to move forward along the stream under the cover of tall grass, and then turned back, occasionally shooting and sniping at the Germans. And the Germans learned smartly. The officers and soldiers mingle and can't see who is in command, which deprives Parks of his primary target and can only snipe ordinary soldiers.

But Parks also suffered a lot from the Germans, and his near-fatal accuracy made the Germans appear cautious. Every step they take, they have to look around carefully and carefully.

Suddenly, he heard the shouting of the Germans, and then he saw that the Germans who were searching for him stopped temporarily, and then he heard the whistling sound of "boom" in the air, and the Germans brought in mortars, "Boom! It exploded, and the surrounding grass suddenly burst into flames. Parks secretly screamed that it was not good, that the Germans had used Molotov cocktails, and that they were going to burn all the grass here, either to burn themselves to death or to show themselves.
