Chapter 133 Mixed in
The Anam Bridge seems to be awakened by the light of the morning light in a deep sleep, and it gradually has more vitality. Although the sun just appeared in a hurry, it had swept away the fog. Several German soldiers were swaying on the bridge. They looked more leisurely, and two of them smoked on the edge of the bridge and talked sideways from time to time.
Occasionally, armored vehicles swayed through the bridge, ejecting thick exhaust. Then some soldiers complained loudly about the exhaust from the armored car. Everything seemed calm and harmonious. Even the water bird, which was shocked by the noise of the armored car, just flew around the river and then landed on the iron frame of the bridge and did not fly away.
"A cheetah tank destroyer, a tiger king, and two tigers and two leopards." On the edge of the woods on the hillside near the bridge, there was a very low sound, and the green grass suddenly moved gently, like grass leaves swinging gently when the wind blew by.
Parks, Lee Goth and Webster disguised themselves with weeds. They have been lying here for two hours. Parks observed the bridge with a telescope, and then kept whispering in his mouth. Webster, who was lying on the left, wrote down each kind of armored vehicle Parks about and the number of them on a piece of paper with a pencil.
Parks stayed for a while and spit out a grass crumb in his mouth: "It seems that that's all the armored force here. They must have armored vehicles hiding, or in the city.
"When are we going in?" Li Gaote looked at the bridge. From his perspective, he could have a panoramic view of all the scenes on the bridge, and the visibility was not bad.
They had been lying here motionless for two hours. Webster felt that his stomach was a little painful on the hard ground, but he knew that he could not move. After all, it was too close to the Germans. He really hopes to finish this investigation mission as soon as possible, which is simply suffering.
"No hurry, let's wait." Parks whispered, "Now the Germans are collecting the remnants, and some soldiers who have retreated from the front line will pass through here and enter the city. We can take advantage of this opportunity. Parks knew that the 9th Hohen Stauven Armoured Division and the 10th Frentzburg Armored Division of the armed SS, which were defeated by the Germans from the front line, would be stationed here.
The time passed minute by minute, and Webster felt that it was very long. Although it was only an hour, he still couldn't stand it. Just as he was about to raise his head to breathe the fresh air, his hand was held down. Then his eyes saw a pair of German soldiers passing less than 100 meters ahead through the grass. Although they walked below, Webster's heart beat hardened.
Through the telescope, Parks can clearly see the eagle logo on the side of the soldier's helmet, the embroidered icon of an eagle on the right side of the military uniform, and the scorpion sign under the eagle.
The team of more than 40 Germans came from the north side of the bridge and walked towards the suburb of Anum south of the bridge. They were neatly dressed and neatly lined up. No one smoked or talked, just like a team of long snakes moving silently.
Webster felt that the hand that grabbed him was gradually loosened. The Germans passed by this place and did not search around. Maybe they thought that there could be no enemy here at all. Maybe they are not in the mood at all. The German walked neatly, left here, and then disappeared from the sight of the three.
"It's a German paratrooper!" Parks couldn't help whispering, "They came from France. They retreated from Normandy. But this is our chance.
The German paratroopers are the old opponents of the 101 airborne troops. At the beginning of D, the two fought in the dark in Normandy, and Parks even killed their commander, Colonel Haight.
"What?" Webster obviously didn't understand, and he asked again.
Parks looked at Li Golt, and then looked at Webster and said, "From now on, we are German paratroopers, the first paratrooper regiment of Germany!" Then he smiled at the two of them.
The Arnam Bridge has been a little busy recently. From time to time, chariots defeated from the front line pass through the bridge, or soldiers defeated from the front line. Their sources are also various, some are guards, some armored divisions, and some are paratroopers. Although they were defeated and retreated, their military appearance was very neat, and there was no depressed and gray look on their faces. They are more calm, just like a step-by-step walking machine.
Two German soldiers standing in the temporary fortress at the bridge are smoking. They spitting smoke rings and talking with smiles. Soldiers who are far away from the battlefield are very relaxed. And they will also seize all the easy opportunities to relax themselves to relieve the nervous tension and fear caused by the war.
"Hey, Tois, look, those three idiots!" At this time, one of the two Germans smiled at the other and said, "Are they the paratroopers who just passed here?"
The soldier named Tois looked at the three people who were coming towards them and couldn't help nodding: "It's a paratrooper. I heard that they were badly beaten by the Americans in France!" Eugene, they are worthy of sympathy. He saw the hats of the three people and the eagle emblem on his chest.
"Hi, guys, can any of you tell me how to find our armored division?" One of the three was the captain. He shouted at one of the Germans, "I can't find their commander. Damn the Americans and the British are about to fight, but they can't see anyone yet!" What a bunch of people!" The captain seems to be very angry.
The two Germans were a little surprised. After all, there were few subordinates in the German army who complained and lost their temper with their superiors. But thinking about what happened to them in Normandy, there seems to be nothing to doubt.
"Sir, you can go to the north and then go west. There is a Hattonstein Hotel, the headquarters of Marshal Modal. Maybe they will help you. In fact, everything here is in his control!" Eugene said with a he-he smile.
"Okay, Sergeant! Take a good look at your bridge. Don't be distracted. Be careful of American spies!" The captain nodded to him and then walked north of the bridge.
Watching the three of them go far away. The guy named Eugene said to the other name, "Hey, Tois, do you hear me? He said he was an American spy? It's ridiculous. What are the Americans doing here? What can be scouted here? Are you here to peek at us taking a shower? Then he shook his head at the backs of the three people and said, "They are scared by the Americans!"
"This is not funny!" Tois said seriously, "Don't make such a joke. Only unscrupulous Americans are so frivolous. Eugene, give me another cigarette!"
On the bridge, the three of them quickly crossed the bridge and then went to the west of the city.
"That fool, it's ridiculous to tell us about their headquarters!" Li Gaote smiled and said, "Chief, are we rushing in and killing Marshal Modal? It's exciting enough to think about it.
"Don't be silly. We won't go in. That's the marshal's headquarters. They won't let a guy with a murderous face in. Even if you can't get close, you will be killed!" Webster finally found an excuse to fight back against Li Gott and couldn't help but start hitting him. He had enough of Li Gaote's sarcasm all the way.
Parks looked at the two of them sternly and said, "From now on, you two had better shut your mouths and don't treat Germans as fools. They tend to be beyond our imagination!"
"Yes, boss!" Li Gao had a characteristic head, and then stared at Webster.
"No problem, sir!" Webster didn't want to show weakness and gave Li Gaote a look back. But he is not used to calling him "head", and he is more used to calling Parks as an officer.
Not far away, they saw a beautiful hotel with magnificent buildings, but surrounded by German soldiers. There are also two armored vehicles cruising around.
"The Hattonstein Hotel, the command of the German army!" Parks whistled. Obviously, the precautions here were very strict, and no one could easily enter from here. Obviously, Li Gaote's idea was really bad. This is not Normandy, the regimental headquarters that you can easily enter.
"The German tanks must be nearby. They are likely to use the woods to cover them. We can look for them." Parks whispered to both of them, "Maybe that guy can help us!" With that, Parks walked towards the German closest to him, a lieutenant, smoking on a motorcycle. There are still a few empty motorcycles parked beside him.
"Hello, Lieutenant!" Parks walked towards him.
When the lieutenant saw it, he quickly extinguished his cigarette butt and saluted Parks, "Hello, Mr. Captain!"
Parks replied with a bow, then nodded and said, "Lieutenant, it's like this. I'm from the First Paratrooper Regiment. Now we have about one battalion of troops to withdraw to Anum. Now the Americans and the British are pressing forward, allowing us to join the armored forces, but we can't find where they are. We're lost!"
"You are looking for the right person!" The lieutenant suddenly laughed, "What a coincidence, I'm from the 10th Frentzburg Armored Division. We are deployed to the north and west of the bridge. Let's go. I'll take you to meet our commander!" With that, he waved to the three of them, and then said to Li Gaote behind Parks, "Can you drive a motorcycle?"
"Won, sir!" Li Gaote replied quickly.
"Captain, if you don't mind, let's take one and let them follow us!" The lieutenant said enthusiastically.
"No problem, thank you very much!" Parks laughed and then waved to Li Gaughter and Webster.
"Isn't there still the 9th Hohen Staufen Armored Division?" Parks got on the side box of the three-wheeled motorcycle and asked the lieutenant who was starting the motorcycle.
"They are on the south side of the bridge and will be received by Admiral Betris!" The lieutenant smiled and said, "But we have finally retreated from the front line and can have a good rest. I heard that you are very brave in Normandy!"
Parks nodded and smiled, "Yes, we have a bloody battle with the Americans, and we have lost a lot!"
The lieutenant has moved the motorcycle and began to drive forward. He nodded and said, "We've heard about it for a long time, but I admire you!"
