After the bridge was captured, it did not mean that the battle was over, and there were still many German soldiers on the other side of the bridge. However, the German soldiers, having lost their position, were no longer able to resist the attack of the 2nd Airborne Battalion.

The 2nd Airborne Battalion took advantage of the situation to rush across the bridge and, after 12 hours of fierce fighting, finally routed the last 300 German troops south of the Rhine at night. More than 100 German soldiers were killed on the spot, the rest were captured, more than half of them were killed on the spot, and only a little more than 100 survived and were placed under the close supervision of British paratroopers.

What is touching is that more than 30 of the German soldiers were killed by the local people, and they gave enthusiastic cheers after seeing the British paratroopers successfully seize the bridge. When the fighting took place, the Dutch people disappeared from the basement, and as soon as the fighting was over, the streets were filled with people, some of whom hung flags to celebrate the liberation of the British.

At this time, the officers and men of the 2nd Airborne Battalion had been fighting fiercely for four days and four nights, during which they had only rested for a very short time, and they were already tired and tired. But they can't rest there.

Because Frost finally knew from the mouth of a captured German ** officer that not long ago, the German 2nd Panzer Division returned home for renovations and happened to pass by Arnhem, so there were two whole tank divisions in the Anheng area that were on standby in clusters, not an infantry regiment as they thought. The news almost broke Frost on the spot, so he immediately dispersed the population, collected weapons and ammunition, rushed to repair the fortifications, and at the same time desperately called for support from headquarters at a half-hour frequency, urging the ground troops to come over earlier.

However, at this time, the 2nd Army was still battling the poor road conditions on the Hell Highway, and the reply to Frost was to order them to hold on and wish them good luck.

Frost yelled angrily at the intercom as several adventurers with guns approached, one of whom gave Frost a disdainful middle finger.

Their "sickness" disappeared after the bridge was taken.

Shen Yi rushed over and said to several adventurers, "I warn you, don't treat him with this attitude. ”

One adventurer tried to argue: "If it weren't for this bastard battalion commander insisting on taking the bridge now, we could have delayed it for a few more days." ”

The spirit musket was immediately pointed at his head, and Shen Yi said in a cold tone: "He is a soldier, and it is his duty to obey orders! You had better learn to respect soldiers, no matter what, we have successfully delayed for three days, this is a victory!"

Several adventurers walked away, and Shen Yi put his arm on Frost's shoulder and said, "I know you're in a bad mood right now, and no one can do anything about this kind of thing." But I would like to remind you that the Germans have completely lost their possession, and the nearest German team is only four hours away. That is, theoretically we have only four to six hours to strengthen the defense. The worst part is not this, we can't hold on to the bridge. We have to stop them outside the town before they reach the bridge. Frost, cheer up, the 2nd Airborne Battalion needs you, and we need you too. We all need your command for the next battle!"

Frost snorted. He was already an excellent soldier, but he had just been shocked by a series of news, and at this moment, Shen Yi's reminder made him quickly return to his true character as a soldier.

"Thank you for the reminder, Shen, I need your help and that of your partner, but not yesterday and the day before yesterday, but the first day. ”

"Of course. Shen Yi said with great certainty: "We are here to help you, and my partner and I promise to obey your command." ”

Frost glanced at Shen Yi gratefully. When Shen Yi even did not hesitate to encourage the adventurers to slack off in order to postpone the snatching of the bridge, he also used to hate this guy, but now, after confirming that Shen Yi was right, it was this person who stood up, eliminated all opposition, and unswervingly supported himself.

"Okay then, how long did you say we we'd be?"

"Four to six hours. ”

"Then we have to prolong this time first. Frost unfolded the map. "Look, if the defenders of Anheng want to enter this area, they can only come from the road to the south, their tanks are too heavy, and only this road can withstand it. So we first have to destroy the road and prevent the tanks from entering the town. ”

"It's a good idea. Shen Yi's eyes lit up.

"We need to destroy sections of the road at least a kilometer in length, and the destruction should be as complete as possible, so as not to give the enemy time to rush to repair. But we don't have enough explosives. ”

"Maybe my people can solve this problem, they should have a way. ”

"That's for the best. Without tanks, we would have to deal with a large number of German soldiers, and we had to lay out multiple lines of defense, using as much space as possible to buy time. Therefore, we have to set up an ambush point from the end of the road and block it in sections. ”

"I think we should have more people on both sides of the road, in the buildings and in the woods. It was Major Ralph who spoke: "These are all suitable places for concealment, suitable for guerrilla tactics." ”

"That's right, we need to collect as many guns as we can, we don't have enough ammo. Frost said.

Ralph replied: "It has already been done, and thankfully we got three full-fledged 150mm self-propelled guns, but there are not many shells." There was also a tank, which was intact except for damaged tracks. ”

"Then we'll use tanks as artillery and artillery as tanks. Shen Yi replied. All three laughed. The previous estrangement was completely dissolved by this smile.

Frost patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, motioned for him to come with him, and walked to an open area from where he could see the road in the distance. Not far away, there is a tall church, which is the famous Arnhem Cathedral in the Netherlands.

"Shen, I need you to arrange a good sniper on the bell tower of Arnhem Cathedral, who must be able to find and clear the most important targets in the first place. ”

"No problem. ”

"Arrange a sniper on that side and a sniper on that side to form a triangle of fire. ”

"Yes. ”

"Plus arrange your two heavy firefighters here. ”

Shen Yi wrote them down one by one, and then he looked up and asked, "What about the others?"

"The others form a commando team. Frost pointed to a small fork in the road: "When the Germans attack from the front of the road, I need a strong force to strike from their flanks. I can send you another forty soldiers, and in addition to fighting the enemy, you have an important mission, which is to recover as many heavy weapons as possible for us, and preferably some tanks. ”

Frost said this with a serious expression.

The quality of the personnel of the paratroopers is much higher than that of the ordinary infantry, but the equipment is far inferior to the latter, and the difference lies in the configuration of heavy firepower. After all, no one can go parachuting with artillery tanks.

The 2nd Airborne Battalion was ultimately defeated in the Battle of Market Garden, not because of their numerical inferiority, but most importantly because of their lack of heavy fire support. The Adventurer Squad's effective long-range strike suppressed the opponent's heavy firepower, giving the 2nd Airborne Battalion a chance to exert its might. In this regard, the two sides are mutually reinforcing.

Now Frost needs Shen Yi to help them retrieve more heavy weapons, so as to prepare for the battle in the future.

Shen Yi glanced at the highway that seemed to lead to hell, and whistled lightly: "Okay, I'll take care of this matter." ”

Shen Yi turned around and returned to the adventurer's center, and first called out the adventurer with a powerful skill:

"We need to destroy that stretch of road for at least a kilometer, can you do that?"

The adventurer looked at the road: "A kilometer long? that's too long, my skill is a range attack, not a shock attack, it is impossible to cover such a length." ”

"That's not going to work. Who has the means to destroy that stretch of road? We're going to block the entry of enemy tanks. ”

"Why do you have to destroy the road to block the tanks?" Gentle said suddenly, "There are enough discarded tanks here, we can transport them over there to create an obstacle and block the road." ”

Shen Yi's eyes lit up: "This is a way, but the tank may be crushed." ”

"Then dig a hole behind the barrier, and the tank will sink into the hole and create a new one. King Kong said.

"You can also bury some mines. ”

Everyone, you and I, all kinds of ways to block the attack of tanks have been released. Thankfully, this is a small group of adventurers, and many things that others can't do are easy for them.

Some of the blown up tanks were forcibly pushed onto the road, and the adventurers who had strengthened their strength played an important role in this moment. The explosives blow up craters in the roadway, and the thunderous adventurers blast a larger ground trap behind the obstacles. Hong Lang broke dozens of giant trees with his powerful impact, all of which were piled up on the road, and a small number of mines were placed in various places along the road, hidden under some of the giant trees.

Four hours later, the road was covered with either sinking potholes or towering steel barriers, and when the German tanks arrived, a painful hell of death awaited them.
