The general of the 59th Infantry Division was very sorry, he had just launched a separate attack, losing more than 1,700 people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There is no doubt that the British will come with their "Cromwell" tanks, but where are Germany's own tanks?

On the afternoon of 19 September, Colonel Tsai studied the map, and he was directing his tanks to advance towards the bridge in Sangseong, and although there were several options to achieve the goal, he finally decided to use the canal's to get the leopard through.

It was not easy to drive tanks on a narrow embankment, but the drivers had no choice, and it was Lieutenant Dick who commanded them.

Through the binoculars he could see that the road to Nijmegen was crowded with tanks and trucks, the British were sitting on the ground smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, and no one noticed the leopards! Then let's have a surprise.

One by one, the leopards made left turns and drove up the embankment, and now on their right was the Wilhelmina Canal, and on their left was bushes and woods, and they went along the embankment, without cover, without back, without choice, a real adventure! It was 17 p.m.

General Taylor, the commander of the 101st Airborne Division, was a little worried when he heard rumors that German tanks were heading for Mulberry, so he sent a reconnaissance platoon to find out what was going on, and the American GIs had just walked over the embankment.

Suddenly, they heard a low roar of engines, and at the same time they saw a camouflaged Leopard tank coming out from behind the trees, followed by another one, and everyone was terrified and began to flee in all directions, some even jumping into the river.

Without hesitation, the leopards opened fire and hit one of the trucks on the bridge, and more leopards drove out of the bushes to shoot at the houses on the other side of the river, and the scene was chaotic! Some American soldiers tried to block the advance of the Leopard with bazookas, but without success.

General Taylor's command, which was also hit by several shells, ran out to find and launch a jeep that drove near some gliders that had not yet been unloaded, found a seventy-five-mm anti-tank gun and pulled it out.

Firing positions were soon set up near the bridge and opened fire on the first Leopard tank, which was almost to the bridge, but fortunately hit, the Leopard stopped and blocked the path of the tanks behind, the Germans could not advance, and the second Leopard was quickly hit by a bazooka and caught fire.

Lieutenant Dick realized that his Leopard tanks alone were now powerless, and the German tanks began to retreat, while he asked Zeon to send grenadiers to attack, while the tanks provided fire support.

However, Cai refused on the grounds that it was getting late and that the city was likely to be heavily defended, but in fact it was the exact opposite, and if he decisively sent infantry, he would easily take the bridge.

The first attack of the 107th Tank Division failed, but for the American and British troops they really survived. That night the Luftwaffe bombed Edthofen, and the joy quickly passed, and people began to fear that the Germans would soon return.

On this very day, the road from Edthofen to Nijmegen was called the Hell Highway by the Anglo-American forces. The road runs north-south from Eindhoven to Fehel, to Nijmegen and to Arnhem.

The road is half asphalt and half brick, and can be crossed by two small cars. But it's a bit crowded for trucks. Like most roads in the Netherlands, it's about a metre above the ground, meaning anything on the road stands out on the horizon.

On this day, the Germans cut off the road more than once and fierce battles broke out with the British and American forces. From the morning, the Germans launched an offensive from the south of Mulberry on the road to Nijmegen.

Since the ground was very wet and muddy, the German tanks and half-tracks were almost unusable, so the Germans had little cover, and the Americans returned fire with seventy-five-mm self-propelled howitzers, and although the Germans could not cut off the lifeline of the Anglo-American forces, they achieved their goal: delay.

The road was crowded with all sorts of British transport vehicles, and the black smoke from the wrecked vehicles could be seen from a long distance.

The British Cromwell tanks tried to turn around to attack the Germans, but these tanks were quickly destroyed by the Germans, and others ran into anti-tank mines, and the Germans used Leopard tanks and assault guns to bombard vehicles on the road.

The Anglo-American forces suffered heavy losses, and the Germans also lost some tanks, mainly due to the Anglo-American aerial bombardment, but also under the pressure of counterattacks from several directions, and the Germans eventually retreated.

In fact, the British and American coalition forces did not know, in fact, this was the order of the German Führer Rommel, that is, resisting step by step, retreating step by step, luring the enemy deep, and the British and American coalition forces were also very cooperative, fighting and rushing all the way.

The British continued their attack from Edthofen, and at 12 noon, after losing more than 1,500 men, the Germans finally retreated, but the battle lasted five hours, during which time the vehicles on the road were crowded together and could not move.

The rest of the equipment of the 107th Division was finally unloaded that morning, and the whole division assembled at Nunan.

At this time, the Anglo-American forces attacked Nuenen from several directions, and it was obvious that all the attacks failed, and the "Sherman" tanks were destroyed one by one by intensive German artillery fire.

The Germans had turned Nuenen into a strong fortification and prepared to hold out, but the British Eighth Army was now making progress east of Edthofen, and its 11th Tank Division was on the front line, ready to attack the 107th Division from behind.

On September 21, Dutch civilians told the Anglo-American forces that the Germans had left Nuenan and were headed for Helmond.

At 10:30, Nuenen and the surrounding area were liberated, the tanks of the hussars did not find any resistance, the Germans had already withdrawn, why did the Germans retreat?

The answer could not be answered, and even Montgomery, the commander of the Anglo-American left flank, did not understand why the Germans always retreated as soon as they fought.

At this time, even if Montgomery wanted to retreat, it was too late for Montgomery to retreat, and it would only be a few days before the pocket array arranged by Rommel entered the final activation time.

No matter how effective Rommel did not know, nearly 500,000 Anglo-American troops on the left flank of the Anglo-American coalition army commanded by Montgomery had penetrated deep into Belgium, and they were destined to be unable to escape, and as for the more than 2 million Anglo-American troops on the Maginot Line, Rommel did not dare to say such a big thing now.

At Fihau, fourteen kilometres south of Sang, the narrowest part of the corridor, Marshal Moder ordered a counterattack to be launched at the core of the German counter-attack force, the Walter Battle Group, with the 107th Division and a battalion of the 180th Infantry Division.
