After about five miles to the west, I saw in the distance the armored vehicles hidden in the woods, and there were various models, such as Leopards and Tigers, self-propelled guns, tank destroyers, Tiger Kings, Cheetahs, and so on, about seventy or eighty units.

The lieutenant stopped the car, but there was no one around.

Parks got out of the car and couldn't help but look around, and then asked strangely, "Lieutenant, isn't there a sentry post here?" ”

The lieutenant looked at Parks in surprise, and then smiled with relief: "Mr. Captain, we are in the rear here, who will come here?" British or American? Or the Dutch? None of them! The British and Americans are too far apart, the Dutch are just some common people, women, children, and cowardly men, and they will not! ”

"Then the only armored vehicles are here?" Parks frowned.

The lieutenant obviously thought that Parks thought that there were too few armored vehicles, so he smiled and said: "These armored vehicles are all retired from the front line for repair and maintenance, and our division has more than 30 vehicles, which is already very good." The 9th Hohenstaufen Panzer Division to the south is similar, but there will be armoured vehicles returning from the front line in the next few days. We will receive them. ”

Parks nodded, then smiled, "Very good!" ”

"Mr. Captain, let's go, our headquarters is in front, and I will introduce you to the division commander Heinz?" "Lieutenant Halmayle," said Lieutenant, began to lead the way, with Parks following him, and by his side were Lee Goult and Webster, and the three of them walked side by side.

"38 Leopards, 34 Tank IV, 14 self-propelled guns, 10 tank destroyers." The lieutenant walked and introduced to Parks without looking back, "Tiger King, and cheetahs and the like." As he spoke, a manor could be seen in the distance, with sentries walking around.

"Lieutenant!" Parks suddenly winked at Legott and Webster, then made a neck wiping motion with his hand, and shouted, "Lieutenant, please wait a minute, I need your help!" With that, Parks crouched on the ground with a painful look on his face.

The German lieutenant stopped, looked at Parkes, and without the slightest suspicion, came over, and exclaimed, "Mr. Captain, what is the matter with you?" ”

"I don't know, can you come over and have a look?" Lee Gotte said to the lieutenant with an anxious expression. With Legot, Parks suddenly fell to the ground, motionless.

"Damn it!" The lieutenant quickly rushed over, then crouched down and tried to check on Parks. Legot pulled a paratrooper knife from his waist, then covered the lieutenant's mouth with one hand from behind and stabbed the knife in the other. A fatal knife that pierced the lieutenant's ribs and nailed him to the heart.

Parks immediately rolled over and got up, and as a result of the lieutenant's body, he dragged it deep into the woods next to him, and then began to cover the body with leaves and branches.

"Scared silly?" Li Gaot looked at Webster, who was stunned, and sneered, "Hurry up, help us cover up the body, or we will be exposed, damn it, hurry up!" ”

"Yes...... Yes, right away! Webster hurried over, and then looked around for branches and leaves, to help cover the lieutenant's body. The lieutenant never understood why he had been killed.

"Poor fellow!" After touching the German lieutenant's pocket, Li Gaot said something stupid and spat on the ground, "This guy has nothing, what a poor worm!" He added.

"Ruger?" Parks wiped the blood off his hands with leaves and asked casually.

"Nothing!" Lee Gotte was clearly upset.

"Webster." Parks shouted, "Do you remember what the lieutenant said?" ”

"What?" Webster couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, sir, I just ignored it, I was too nervous to write it down." ”

Parks was obviously not satisfied with Webster's performance, gave him a stern look and said, "I said, you remember it again." 38 Leopards, 34 Tank IV, 14 self-propelled guns, 10 King Tiger or Cheetah tank destroyers. This is the armored force of the 10th Frenzburg Panzer Division, although they are remnants, but they are clearly relatively well equipped. Remember it next time, don't let me remind me of these things, you have to know your mission this time. ”

"Write it down, sir!" Webers nodded, still feeling a little embarrassed about his mistake.

"Let's go to the south side of the bridge, and we figure out the command of the German Admiral Beaters, and their headquarters of the 9th Hohenstaufen Panzer Division, and their tanks." Parks said to the two of them, "Hurry up, we're running out of time." With that, he walked towards the motorcycle.

"Now we don't have a good guide." "Who can lead us to the south and tell us where the headquarters is?" It's nerve-wracking, we don't have much time! ”

"Of course there are people!" Parks suddenly turned to Legot and smiled, "There are people who lead the way for us." Then he said to Webster, "Do you speak Dutch?" ”

"A little bit!" Webster shrugged his shoulders, "Not very fluent." ”

"That's very good, we're not writing in Dutch!" Parks said as he drove a motorcycle alone and sped off the road he had come, followed closely by the motorcycles driven by Lee Gotte and Webster.

Motorbikes roamed around the city, and although some German soldiers patrolled the streets, no one came out to stop or check on the three men. Soon Parks' car was parked in front of a civilian's house.

Parks looked towards the door, then said to Legot, "Stay here, don't let people in." Then he pulled some ropes outside the door, which connected to the doorbell in the house.

Scott? The Frank family was a member of the Polish underground resistance group, and he lived on the side of a road north of Arnhem where German troops had entered Arnhem. The family had been closely following the movements of the Germans in the past few days, including the deployment of their troops, because they had been instructed by the leaders of the Dutch underground resistance to provide information for the Allies, and that they were going to enter the Netherlands and liberate it, which made them happy and excited, and the moment they had been waiting for for several years was finally coming, which made them work harder and not afraid of danger. Sometimes, judging by the number of vehicles and personnel that the Germans had entered Arnhem, they sometimes ventured into the southern part of Arnhem for the sake of a specific location for deployment.

The Germans did not notice themselves, which was the most gratifying thing for Frank, and if he found out, then he and his wife and son would be shot by the Germans, who treated the Poles with cruelty and cruelty.

"Dad, there are three Germans!" Son Dieter sitting at the window observing the street? Frank suddenly turned his head and shouted into the house, "They're in front of our house!" ”

His wife, Mrs. Frank, suddenly became a little nervous and looked at Frank in a little panic. Frank gently patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted, "It's going to be fine, they won't know what we're doing." They have no proof! So saying, he walked quickly to the window, and sure enough, he saw three Germans, their motorcycles were parked at the door, and one of the officers rang the doorbell.

"What should I do?" Mrs. Frank looked nervously at her husband, and his son jumped down and closed the window! Then he looked at his father, his face nervous.

"Don't worry, Dieter, hide our notebooks, and stay here in the attic, don't come out. I'm going to negotiate with them. Frank was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he thought of a lot of possible surnames in an instant, maybe he was exposed, or someone betrayed him? But he quickly dismissed all these thoughts, and there was no indication that either of the above would happen!

He forced himself to compose himself, then walked down the attic and opened the door. In front of him stood a German captain, who at a glance saw the pattern of his cockade and the eagle on his chest. He was somewhat relieved, at least not the Gestapo or the SS guards. This shows that they are not exposed, and these Germans are afraid that they are in the wrong place.

"Is there anything you can help me with?" Frank tries to make himself appear enthusiastic and calm.

"Scott? Frank? The lieutenant stared at him for a moment, then smiled at him.

Frank's heart sank, it was obvious that the German knew him, and he was here for him, he did not invite the German captain in, but said suspiciously: "Sir, do you know me?" ”

Parks shrugged his shoulders and whispered something to a soldier next to him, who then said to him, "Why don't you invite us in and talk?" ”

Frank could not refuse such a request, and he turned sideways and let Parks and the soldier in, but the other soldier did not come in, and they stood in the doorway, looking around.

"Frank, come here, close the door, I have some questions for you!" The captain walked into the living room and chose a chair to sit down. Then the soldier said to him.

Frank quickly closed the door, and then walked into the living room, and then he saw the captain holding an edelweiss flower in his hand, turning it on the tip of his finger, and he was startled, this is the organization's contact token, an edelweiss embroidered with velvet thread.

"It's not easy to pick an edelweiss now!" Frank said calmly.

The captain smiled at him, then turned his head and whispered something to the soldier, but he heard it now, it was definitely not Dutch, let alone German. It's English! The soldier said to him, "It's just embroidered wool, not real edelweiss!" ”

Frank took a step forward, then looked at them with some surprise and said in English, "Who are you?" ”

The captain also stood up and said with a smile: "If I knew you could speak English, I wouldn't have passed the translation, it's really difficult." Hello Mr. Frank, I'm Lieutenant Parks of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. ”

Frank looked at them excitedly for a few moments, and then finally confirmed his judgment, nodded again and again and smiled: "Hello, Lieutenant Parkes, I have long heard that the Allies will have a big operation, and now that you have finally contacted us, it seems that this is true." ”

"Yes, we do have a big operation!" Parks nodded, "But we need your help, we need intelligence, intelligence on the Germans' armored forces, and their headquarters on Admiral Beaters, south of the Arnhem Bridge, please tell me!" ”
