Sifudi was running down the path, his lungs were about to explode with his breathing, and he even threw away his sniper rifle and bullets, and he had to join his brothers quickly. The shadows of the trees kept swaying in front of him, his steps became heavier and heavier, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he was convinced that he was about to succeed.

A fresh breeze swept across his face, and it was the feeling of freshness and moisture carried by the river breeze. He could see through the gaps in the trees that the river was surging and spraying.

Xifudi saw the river beach, and the swaying figures on the other side of the river beach. He could see it clearly, it was the uniform of the American Airborne Forces, and the head of the eagle embroidered on their shoulders could be seen clearly even if it was far away. In fact, he couldn't see clearly, but he could see clearly in his heart, as long as it was the familiar uniform, the eagle was in his heart.

"Who is it?" The group of people obviously saw Xifudi running out of the forest, and shouted loudly.

"It's Xifudi!" Someone recognized him and cried out in surprise.

"Welsh lieutenant, welsh lieutenant!" Sifodi cried out loudly, ignoring the brothers who were running towards him, and he looked around to find the man, the Welsh lieutenant.

"It's me, it's me, Brother Xifu!" At this time, a man separated from the brothers who had gathered around, and then shouted at him, "Brother Sifo, where is Lieutenant Parkes?" Sifodi, tell me, where is Lieutenant Parkes? ”

Sifodi wanted to open his mouth, he wanted to tell Welsh where Lieutenant Parks was and where he went, he wanted Lieutenant Welsh to save him and get Lieutenant Parks back. But he just opened his mouth, and his eyes went dark, his ears buzzed, and then he didn't know anything. He fell.

"Sifudi!" The big bull Landauman hugged him and didn't let him fall, and then shouted loudly, but Sifodi didn't react, and he fell limply in Landowman's arms.

"Sifudi!" Landauman shook him, trying to bring him to his senses, but apparently unsuccessfully.

"He fainted! Sergeant Randolph, he is seriously overdrawn, let the Englishman doctor show him, and notify me as soon as he wakes up! Wales' face was a little unpleasant, and he parted the crowd and walked towards the ferry, where they were the first to arrive. The British troops followed, and began to organize their ranks in an orderly manner.

And the Vidol ferry was ignored by the Germans, they and the British were attracted by the Arnhem Bridge, where there was a desperate battle, but such a ferry port was abandoned here, to the Germans and the British did not expect that the ferry ships here are very well preserved, there are six huge ferry ships, one surname can transport more than 1,000 soldiers.

When Admiral Urquhart arrived here, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration, obviously, if he had known this place, then the Arnhem Bridge would not be the only choice, he could choose to cross the river here, and then attack the German position south of the bridge, in this way, it would be much easier, and the Arnhem Bridge would be back under its control.

"God, I didn't expect it to be like this!" Admiral Sushabowsky exclaimed, his first reaction at the sight of the ferry, and then he laughed heartily, "I knew that God would take care of us." ”

"Thanks to the lieutenant!" Brigadier General John Forlouster nodded, "Lieutenant Parkes." By the way, I don't know if he's already arrived, Lieutenant Colonel David, go talk to the Americans, ask them, if Lieutenant Parks has arrived, we want to talk to him! He said loudly to Lieutenant Colonel David, who was preparing for the ferry.

"Okay, General!" David was visibly happy, and he hurried over to the line of brothers.

Admiral Urquhart then said to the second lieutenant in charge of communications with his followers: "Second lieutenant, contact the Allies, and say that we are going to cross the river, there are six ferries, and at the same time let them send all the boats to meet us, and we will try to cross the river as soon as possible, and do not give the Germans time to react, otherwise we will be blown up and sunk in the Rhine to feed the fish." ”

"Yes, General!" The second lieutenant nodded, he felt that General Urquhart's tone was simply good now, and he must have been relaxed in the past few days.

The good news came that the Allies could get fifty rubber boats and wooden boats, which would increase the carrying capacity of about five hundred men at most, that is, a team of five thousand men would only need three round trips. This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the time.

"The Germans did not expect that we would cross the river from here, it seems that they are going to work in vain!" Urquhart looked at the busy soldiers who were about to board the ferry and said to Admiral Sushabowsky.

"But our entire operation ended in complete failure, and we suffered heavy losses, General!" Admiral Sushabowsky was also looking at the soldiers who had boarded the ship, and his expression could not help but be gloomy.

His words silenced Admiral Urquhart for a while, and his expression suddenly fell lonely. Of the 11,000 British 1st Airborne Division, which had more than 11,000 people at the time of departure, only about 4,000 remained, and nearly 7,000 were killed or captured by the Germans. Moreover, the proportion of killed in battle was much higher than that of prisoners, and most of the British soldiers died heroically. He looked at the dejected soldiers again, and was silent.

"Lieutenant Colonel David, is the lieutenant back?" Brigadier General John Forlouster said to Lieutenant Colonel David as he walked over.

"The corporal who went with him has returned, and his name is Sifudi. But he was the only one who came back. The man had fallen into a coma, uninjured, tired, and he ran at a rapid pace for four or five miles, and the whole person collapsed! Lieutenant Colonel David's tone was a little low, "Perhaps, the lieutenant can't come back!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel David's words drew the two generals over, and they opened their mouths but did not utter a word. Obviously, this result was also expected by them, but when the news suddenly came, they were still a little surprised.

"General, what do we do now?" Lieutenant Colonel David asked with some hesitation, "Do you need to leave someone behind to pick him up?" ”

Colonel-General Sushabowsky looked at General Urquhart and did not speak. Brigadier General John Forlouster was about to speak, but General Urquhart spoke, his lips twitching a few times, and then said, "No, no need. ”

Brigadier General John Forloster opened his mouth and finally said nothing. Admiral Urquhart's decision was correct, if he stayed, then these people would be wiped out by the awakened German army, and then many people would lose their lives.

While they were discussing, there was a whistle at the ferry, and the Allied ships were coming, and Admiral Urquhart looked over into the woods, then turned and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, let them begin to board the ship!" ”

The British began to board dinghys, boats, and ferries. They walked silently, mechanically taking their own steps. Sandra walked on the gangplank, looking at the waves of the Rhine, and couldn't help but glance back. Then, at the urging of the people behind him, he jumped on the ship quickly.

"Lieutenant Parks is dead!" As soon as he sat down, he heard a few people talking quietly around him.

Lieutenant Parks? A figure immediately popped out of his heart, a lieutenant of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army, who had been told the miraculous story of the British and Polish paratroopers in the last two days. Sandra knew what he was doing, and she knew that the retreat site was also provided by the lieutenant, so to speak, he saved everyone here.

But is he dead? Sandra pricked up her ears.

"He killed the generals of the Germans!" One of them said with a gloomy expression, "That's why we had the opportunity to escape here and go home on a steamer, and to be honest, I'm grateful to him!" ”

"He's amazing!" Another British interjected, "If I could kill a general, I wish I had participated in that assassination as well, but unfortunately I don't have good marksmanship!" ”

"God forbid, I hope he's still alive now!" Another said, "I'm sure he's still alive, and I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't been confirmed by the corporal who hadn't woken up yet." ”

"Oh, sober up! He's surrounded by Germans, impossible, though I hope he comes back alive! The Englishman at first shook his head and walked away, a topic that was so heavy on his heart that he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Sandra didn't interject, he listened quietly, and then turned his head to the river. Then the hull of the ship shook suddenly, and the machine began to roar, and then gradually left the shore, and around the ferry, there were Allied rubber boats and small wooden boats tied with ropes. The boat slowly left the shore and headed for the center of the river.

"God bless Parks!" Sandra suddenly made a cross on his chest, then looked back towards the river, and when he turned his head, he saw several people facing the Rhine, their heads lowered, silently crossing their chests.

Wales watched as the brothers got into the dinghy, and then watched them leave the river bank and gradually sail towards the center of the river, and many of the brothers' eyes looked this way, and he saw Webster's silent and determined gaze, and suddenly smiled slightly. He was going to stay here and wait for Parkes, it was his decision.

Wales did not let a platoon of brothers stay, although they were all willing to stay. But he couldn't let his brothers venture again, and Sifodi didn't wake up, and the Englishman's doctor said it would take at least a day to wake up. But Parks couldn't wait a day. Wales was convinced that Parks was not dead. Like Webster's determined gaze, all the brothers in the platoon were convinced that Lieutenant Parks was not dead, that he was still alive.

Brigadier John Forloster was the commander who had decided to stay and evacuate last, and Admiral Urquhart and Admiral Sushabowski had already boarded the ferry and left. As he looked this way, he saw the Welsh lieutenant, and he came over.

"Welsh lieutenant!" Brigadier General John Forlouster saluted him.

"General!" Wales stood up straight and returned the salute.

Brigadier General John Forlouster looked at him and said, "Do you believe he's still alive?" ”

"Yes, General!" Wales nodded.

Brigadier General John Forlouster coughed dryly, and then said, "Lieutenant, I don't know how to persuade you!" But I still have to let you understand that you should cross the river with us! ”

"Is this an order? Checkmate! Wales suddenly looked at Brigadier General John Forloster and grinned.

Brigadier General John Forlouster was silent for a while, then nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, lieutenant, you must obey orders!" ”
