Chapter 139 Failed First Attack

Everyone in the 101 division seemed to be crazy. They desperately wanted to occupy the bridge. Everyone squeezed on the road, shoulder to shoulder, everyone's mouth was wide open and gasping, and the bridge in their eyes kept zooming in the pupils... This is really a wonderful moment, everyone The movement is like a ballet.

It's mine, it's mine!

Sink closed his mouth tightly, biting a cigar in his mouth and rushing to the front, the bridge in his eyes was within reach.

Thirty meters...Twenty-five meters...

"Boom--" With a loud noise, the huge splash of water splashed from the bridge, and then the huge air wave lifted over, pushed Sink back, staggered, and then fell on the soldiers lying on the ground behind.

"Coloe!" Winters, who was behind Sink, shouted and then rushed over, but he didn't expect that Colonel Sink had climbed up and rushed to the bridge. He was completely mad. Unexpectedly, the Germans blew up the bridge at the most excited and excited time.

"Boom--" The Germans fired two mortars to try to blow up Colonel Sink, but their shells fell into the water, and the snow-white splashed on Sink's body, dripping him and the cigar he biting in his mouth.

"Shit!" Sink scolded fiercely, and then reluctantly watched the bridge collapse in the explosion. He turned to the back and shouted, "Lt. Lieutenant Colonel Stry, immediately call the first battalion to cross the river and the second battalion to cover it. Damn Germans, we're late. Hurry up, hurry up, build the bridge!"

"I know there is a barn nearby. We put it on the bridge with a door panel, and it can still be used!" Someone in the first battalion was suggesting. Obviously, this idea was a good idea. Soon they got a lot of door panels and boards and spread them on the bridge piers, but it was not very strong. It could only pass a few people at a time. If the whole army wanted to pass, I don't know when!

Fortunately, after the Germans blew up the bridge, they retreated and completed the task of blowing up the bridge. Otherwise, if the Germans attack when their brothers cross the bridge, they will suffer immeasurable losses.

"God, I was really stunned just now!" Nixon said to Winster beside him with lingering lingering heart, "Coloe Sink is probably angry. He let the 506 regiment take the lead, but it turned out to be such an ending. I guess Colonel Taylor will definitely not be satisfied."

"We have been delayed for too long in Thorne. The British like the feeling of being surrounded. They think they are liberators, and now it seems to be a completely stupid idea!" Winters was obviously dissatisfied with the British. "This time, God is on the side of the Germans. Let's see how long do we need? Half an hour is enough, and we can occupy this damn bridge!"

"Let's wait!" Nixon sat down with his buttocks, and then took out the kettle from behind his buttocks. He was loaded with whisky in it. Then he took a big sip, and then his heart completely settled down.

"What are you thinking about?" Nixon watched Winters squatting beside him and staring at a battalion of people building a bridge there. "I'm wondering if this action is worth it? Or are you thinking about how Parks and the others are now?"

Winters took a look at him and then nodded, "Yes, I'm just a little worried. The British have begun to fight, but there is a bad news that they have completely lost contact with us. The communication between the British has been interrupted. They are fighting alone now. I don't know if they can connect with Parks!"

"I know!" Nixon nodded. In fact, from the beginning, he couldn't contact the British First Airborne Division. The communication failure made the airborne force at the forefront alone.

This is not the worst case. What's worse than this is that only one battalion of troops airborne about three miles near the Anum Bridge, but their contact with the 1st Airborne Division was completely cut off. This means that the battalion will take on the task of attacking the bridge alone and stick to the bridge and withstand the attack of the Germans. This battalion belongs to the 2nd Regiment of the First Brigade of the British First Airborne Division.

John? Brigadier-in-mall Forrest is the head of this regiment. He couldn't contact the division, so he had to lead the camp to the bridge alone. But although they were very fast, they were dragged down by a small German army. The "Armoured Patrol Regiment" of the 9th Hohen Staufen Armored Division of the Waffen-SS in Arnam City has passed through the Arnam Bridge to the Naimegen Bridge. No British paratroopers have defended the bridge as originally planned to block the advance of the armed SS.

The armored vehicles and tanks on the Arnam Bridge passed through the bridge in groups, and then went to the landing site of the British First Airborne Division, and some armored vehicles went to support Nijmegen.

"It seems that the Germans have woken up." Through the telescope, Parks saw the busy German armored vehicles passing on the bridge and couldn't help sighing, "The British are slowing down. And they will be counterattacked and even surrounded by the Germans!"

"What should we do?" Wales asked Parks again.

"Wait!" Parks handed the telescope to Wales and said, "We are waiting for the opportunity. First, we can't appear now, because the Germans are still very strong. If it appears, it is equivalent to death! Second, the British now think that they can occupy the bridge, so they definitely think that they don't need our help, so even if we take the surname of the whole row of brothers, we will certainly not be able to return the gratitude of the British. They will also laugh at us. Third, the Germans are not exhausted, and we can only carry out raids, so it is difficult to succeed now. Fourth, we have to panic the German army. Obviously, it is not enough to rely on the strength of a platoon, unless we use unusual means!"

When Wales heard what Parks said, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I knew you were ready."

"Yes, victory is reserved for those who are prepared." Parks winked at him and said, "So we can always win, can't we? Let the British go to hell!"

"Yes, let the British go to hell!" Wales smiled. Now the two of them have absolutely no good idea about the British. If this operation fails and causes a large number of casualties among the E Company brothers, the culprit is the British. They must pay for their arrogance, which is not enough. They must also make them pay the price and then be grateful to themselves.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corners of Parker's mouth. Up to now, everything is going on according to history, but my own nail will definitely change the trajectory of history, even if it is just a small deviation, it is enough.

Parks's waiting naturally has its reason, and the brothers in the row have no problem. Everyone knows that if they jump out and work with the Germans now, they will seek their own death.

The British have begun to move towards the city of Arnaum. John? The second battalion of the second regiment led by Brigadier General Forrest rarely encountered resistance as it moved forward, and finally occupied the north side of the bridge near evening.

Through the telescope, Parks saw a British flag erected on a pier north of the Arnam Bridge. It seems that the British have arrived. He couldn't help smiling, and then the British were going to suffer.

In fact, it is exactly what Parks expected. After occupying the north of the bridge, the British couldn't help attacking the south of the bridge. They sent two companies to move along both sides of the bridge to the south of the bridge.

"They are coming!" Behind him, Webster couldn't help cheering in a low voice. If these paratroopers attack the south side of the bridge, it means that they can meet them and eventually return to Company E.

"The Germans haven't fought back yet!" Li Gaote couldn't help muttering, with an irony in his words, "Wait and see!"

Yes, the Germans haven't counterattacked yet. The two British companies are about to attack the central area of the bridge. Parks couldn't help sighing, "This is a good place to slaughter!"

"God bless them!" Wales also shook his head with great regret. Obviously, they all saw the intention of the Germans. They wanted to hit the British hard when they were in the middle of the bridge. Obviously, they had won.

The "boom" sound came, and several tanks and armored vehicles rushed onto the bridge with thick smoke at the rear of the car. A team of German soldiers emerged from the bunker. The fortress machine guns at the bridge were lifted up, and they were ready.

Obviously, the British army also realized this situation. Some of them wanted to lie down, and some wanted to hide behind the pillars of the bridge. But at this time, armored vehicles and tanks opened fire, and the MG42 machine guns in the fortress began to shoot crazily, and the German soldiers aimed at every British soldier. Open fire without mercy.

The sound of a machine gun in the air seems to tear people's heart and lungs and crush people's nerves. The row of British paratroopers rushing in front of them, like yellow flowers in the wind and rain, fell down with hoarse screams in the trembling of blood and limbs. Their flesh and blood splashed, splashing the soldiers behind them all over, and then they were shot down again.

The British army behind them had already fallen down quickly and pressed against the bridge. They did not dare to move, and some of the soldiers hiding behind the pillars wanted to fight back with guns, but as soon as they appeared, they were hit by German rifles.

The sound of wailing, asking for help and the roaring of machine guns burst out on the bridge in an instant.

The Germans stopped the British attack, and the armored vehicles suddenly shook, and they began to counterattack the British. The British troops lying on the bridge are obviously their targets.

"Retreat, retreat!" A British [***] official shouted loudly, and then he tried to turn his head and run back, but before he ran a few steps, he was hit by a machine gun bullet. The bullet passed through his head, and his whole head was immediately bombarded.

Other British soldiers saw the German armored vehicles coming and ran back crazily, while the Germans were behind them as if they were practicing shooting targets.

"Da Da Da", a string of bullets flew by, and a British soldier was suddenly cut off. His two parts of his body fell on the bridge, with blood in his mouth, his hands stretched out, protruding his eyes, and asked for help from his companions who were hiding behind the bridge pillar with his dying eyes, but one mouth, a mouthful of blood gushed out. Come on.

"God, God!" The companion saw such a tragic scene and couldn't help crying loudly. "Don't stare at me like this, don't stare at me like this, God--" He raised his head and watched the German armored car drive towards him. He looked at the tragic death of his companion. He couldn't help screaming, "Mom--"

"Mom--" He shouted heartbreakingly again, and then flew to the sidebar of the bridge, turning over, accompanied by a long and bitter scream, thinking that the river below would fall down. Then one after another, people jumped off the bridge one after another, and the screams were endless.

"It's so miserable! This is a massacre!" Wales suddenly said to Parks beside him, "I really can't stand it anymore!"
