Chapter 136 The Real Purpose

General Taylor did not convince General Browning or General Breliton. He returned to the division headquarters angrily, and then dropped the cup, which was his rare initiative, as if only the crisp "pop" sound made when the cup broke on the floor could cool people's irritability.

He quickly informed the head of Sink about this matter.

"I'm sorry for this action!" General Taylor said to Sink, "I know that it's my fault that dozens of brothers have been put in danger. I should have known that those bitches would not give in. They were full of their own achievements and fighting for the medals on their chests for their own benefit!"

"You have tried your best, General!" I don't know what to say. He still has to face Captain Winters and talk to him about the significance of the operation. Does it make sense? Obviously, it seems meaningless now.

Colonel Sink personally went to the company headquarters of Winters, and Lieutenant Colonel Stryr went with him.

"Dick! We did this wrong!" Colonel Sink said his mistake frankly. He didn't think there was any need to cover it up. "Our decision was hasty. Although Lieutenant Parks had strong demands, we underestimated the headquarters' determination to take this operation. General Taylor was hit at the headquarters!"

"I know General Taylor has tried his best!" Winters frowned and said to Head Sink, "What we should do now is to inform them to come back safely no matter what."

Sink nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. If our operation goes well, they can join the British First Airborne Division and withdraw. But--"

Winters knew that Colonel Sink didn't say anything. If this operation was really like what Parks said, and the Germans buried heavy troops and armored vehicles in Arnaum, then this operation would be suspended. Although the first British airborne force was brave and good at fighting, it was definitely not a German armed with armored vehicles and tanks. The opponent, then the Arnam Bridge can only be controlled by the Germans. Once it takes a long time, the German reinforcements will arrive, and then the British army will be surrounded, and the hope of Parks' safe withdrawal is very slim.

"They are all crazy!" Winters looked out of the window with gloomy eyes, as if he were talking to himself.

Colonel Sink didn't know what to say. He just patted Winters on the shoulder and said, "Our only hope is a miracle. God bless our action to be achieved."

"God bless!" Winters smiled bitterly, "God bless Parks!"

But on the battlefield, this is just a comforting sentence. When Winters sent Colonel Sink away, he did not extinguish all the hopes. He knew Parks's ability. Since he could return safely from the German headquarters last time, why couldn't he return safely this time? And Parks's intelligence is obviously true. But if this operation is carried out as usual, what E Company has to do is to minimize the casualties of his brothers, so that Parks' intelligence can be of some value, which is what he has always hoped for.

The clouds outside the window gradually dispersed, and stars rarely appeared in the night sky. From afar, it looks like an unfathomable sea, shaking the light of several lighthouses in the waves.

"Look, Gerry, stars!" Joe? Toi leaned close to the trunk of a tree. Through the branches and leaves, there was a mottled moonlight projected down. Through the gap, you could see one or two shining stars in the sky.

"Tomorrow is a sunny day. It seems that the brothers at Momberley Airport will still have to jump tomorrow. They can't escape this time!" Gnery nodded. They have been curled up here for more than a day. Tomorrow is September 17, the first day of the "Market Garden Operation". On this day, the three airborne divisions will jump from the sky to carry out this advanced and largest airborne operation.

"What should we do?" Toy looked at the sky and said, "We can't jump. I hope the British can capture here and take us back. To be honest, how much role do I think we play here?"

"I don't know. Only the boss knows this kind of thing best!" Gernelly smiled and said, "You'd better ask the boss. He is free to argue. It won't be easier than last time!"

Toi didn't say anything. He leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes.

not far from them, several vigilant brothers are swimming around. They walked cautiously and carefully. They stared around with wide eyes. Miller was a little cold with a gun in his hand. Maybe the temperature in the woods was a little low, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Are you cold? Or are you nervous? Malaki, who was in charge of the inspection, came over. He felt Miller's strangeness and asked in a low voice.

"I'm a little nervous!" Miller's answer was a little embarrassed!

Malachi nodded and said, "It's always like this for the first time. You are so lucky that you can have such a task in the first battle.

"We asked for it ourselves!" Miller hurriedly said, "I just... I just want to fight with Lieutenant Parks. I heard of him when we were training in China! Every newcomer thinks so!"

Maraqi smiled and said, "Yes, we all want to follow the lieutenant on a mission, but no matter what kind of task we perform, we have to shoot, and then we have to die!"

"If you think you are dead, then you won't be afraid!"

Malachi was stunned and said, "Who did you listen to?"

"The lieutenant told me!" Miller was a little proud. It was because of this sentence that made Lieutenant Parks change his mind and let himself, Hux and Logan participate in this mission.

"Good advice, then you have to remember this sentence!" Malachi smiled, and then patted Miller on the shoulder and said, "Be on the look, we are still in the arms of the Germans!" With that, he went straight away, and he had to check the other sentries.

Miller looked at Malachi's back and suddenly smiled. He felt that these veterans who had followed Lieutenant Parks on the mission could always show a relatively calm attitude towards this task, because it should be a kind of trust. The mentality of trust for his brothers and his boss has long been formed.

The woods gradually caged with smoke and dust, and the fog began. Shrouded the woods, even if it was very tight, only blurred images could be seen. The temperature is also a little low. Through the military uniform, you can feel the coolness of the morning light.

"It's almost dawn!" Parks tightened the blanket on his body, shrank his head and wrapped it in the blanket, and said Wales, who also shrank his head, "The action is about to begin. Did you go back on your word?

Was stretched out, then stretched out his head from the blanket and looked around: "Oh, Parks, it's still early. You quarreled with my dream.

"Do you regret it?" Parks asked again, "I couldn't participate in this great operation and parachuted with Dick."

Wales waved his head and then smiled, "If I miss this operation, I will go back on my word!" With that, he took out a small bottle from his side, then took a sip and handed it to Parks. "Saive it, we have to stay for a few more days."

Parks took a sip and touched his mouth: "I'm just worried now. Winters returned and told us clearly that the guys in the Allied Command would not pay attention to our intelligence. Once the Germans are ready, what about the brothers?

Wales nodded and cursed in a low voice: "That son of a bitch, they will use the lives of their brothers to achieve their great achievements. This is the politics of the big shots. Damn it!"

"God bless them!" Parks nodded.

Wales also nodded: "God bless Winters!"

The morning light gradually dispersed in the thick fog, and the scenery in the woods gradually became clear. Parks said to Wales, "Okay, Harry, it's time for us to prepare. Once the attack is launched, we should always pay attention to the progress of the battle, which may also play an unexpected role. In addition, we must bring our brothers back completely.

"I know, I'm going to gather my brothers!" Wales nodded.

All the brothers gathered quickly. They all stared at Parks and wanted to get new instructions from his mouth. After all, now the reconnaissance task has been completed, and now they are the nest of the whole Germans, and it is easy to have a crisis.

"General Taylor asked us to withdraw no matter what method we took." Parks said to all the brothers, "Our reconnaissance mission has been completed."

There was no scratch in the team, which everyone guessed. They looked forward to Parks' words behind, and they knew that Parks would never go back like this.

Wales also knows that if it is just a simple investigation, it will never bring a discharge, which Parks strongly demanded before carrying out the task. This is also an important reason why Wales wants to participate in this mission.

"But I definitely don't want to go back like this, even if there is a road ahead of us now." Parks looked at them calmly, and then said slowly, "From here to the west, there is a place called Dril with a ferry that can be used. There are almost no Germans guarding there. We can completely seize it and go back."

When Parks said this, Wales was shocked. He was still worried about the withdrawal route. Unexpectedly, Parks had already arranged it. How could he know so clearly about such a place?

"Now we are in the arms of the Germans, but--" Parks paused, "paratroopers are born to be surrounded. We are like a thorn close to the heart of the Germans. We must play its role. At the critical moment, give the Germans a fierce Come on, that's our purpose this time!"

Wales suddenly understood why Parks insisted on a platoon of airdrops. That's why he wanted to give them the most critical place for the Germans. And Parks had long expected that the Allied Command would not change their plans, even with accurate intelligence. He had a plan for a long time. When Wales thought of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help tilting slightly and smiling.

At this time, it was already dawn, and they began to march towards the Arnam Bridge. They would ambush around the bridge, and then waited for the opportunity like a lion, and then gave the Germans a fatal blow.
