Chapter 144 It's time for us to play

"Sergey, what's wrong with you?" Climbing on the tank, Mourke, who was sitting next to Sergey, wiped the blood of Compton on his trousers. Seeing Sergey shaking there, he couldn't help asking.

"No...what, sergeant!" Sergei wanted to answer this sentence completely, but he couldn't help shivering.

Muck patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, Kevin. Don't be afraid. We're leaving here soon. Relax, Kevin, don't be nervous.

Just as he was talking, the tank trembled and drove in the direction of Zengdet. There was thick smoke behind the buttocks of the tank. The brothers of Company E hung on the tank as much as possible, and then quietly looked at the place where there was still thick smoke. For a moment, no one spoke.

When Zeng Dete was in time, the sky had dimmed, and the German attack stopped. In the face of the German tank attack, Winters did not have much confidence to resist. Taking advantage of the night, he quietly evacuated Zendet and retreated to Eanderhofen. They are still camping in the eastern suburbs.

After the brothers settled down for dinner, Winters went to the camp. He heard bursts of laughter at the door of the battalion. Then he knocked on the door and walked in. I was so angry at the scene in front of me.

Major Horton and the staff were laughing and eating a hearty dinner. Obviously, they were in a very happy mood. When Horton saw Winters, he turned around in his chair, looked at him and asked with a smile, "Wentes, how's it going today?"

Winters' face cooled down, and he replied stiffly, "Today we were defeated. Twelve brothers suffered casualties. Four British tanks were destroyed. We couldn't defend Zendet. The Germans had a lot of tanks and infantry. We retreated without the cover of tanks. Well, that's the case."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room cooled down. Lieutenant Colonel Horton and the staff looked at each other in front of each other and fell silent. After a while, Horton put down the stiff knife and fork in his hand and said to Winterswin, "You have tried your best. Don't worry. Winters, it's important to talk to your brothers!"

Winters squeezed his lips, looked at Horton and said, "What else? If nothing happens, please allow me to leave first!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the battalion without looking at these people again. Obviously, after his company suffered heavy losses, Winters was really dissatisfied with Horton's performance.

That night, everyone in Company E witnessed a large-scale air strike by the Germans on Eindhofen. The British attack troops were stationed in the city of Eindhoven, but there were no anti-aircraft guns and no weapons and equipment to defend against German air strikes. 70 German Air Force planes dropped light yellow flares without scruples, and then bombed them one by one.

The flares brightened the sky of Eindhoven, the roaring sound of the plane, and the huge tremors generated when the bomb exploded, which can be felt by the E brothers in the eastern suburbs. They were stunned at the city of Eindhoven, which was about to turn into a sea of fire. They couldn't believe what it would be like if they were stationed in the city.

James? Ellie looked at the sea of fire with lingering lingering heart and couldn't help whispering "The Virgin Mary". You know that he had complained last night why he couldn't stay in the city, and then accepted the delicious food and wine given to them by the enthusiastic Dutch, as well as the hot girls. A hug of love. Now he has begun to be secretly happy.

E Company encountered a bad battle near Zengdet, which was extremely tragic. Winters led his brothers back to the eastern suburbs of Eindhofen in confusion, and then this night, he saw with his own eyes that Eindhofen turned into a sea of fire under the air strike of the Germans. Everyone's heart is not calm. They no longer have the optimism that has lasted from the beginning of the war to yesterday.

When Company E suffered a major setback, the British army on the Anum Bridge also suffered huge losses. Because the three attacks in the first two days brought huge losses to the British, now they are completely unable to attack the Germans again. But the Germans already have the strength to attack the British.

The death of Lieutenant Colonel Gefu was a great blow to Brigadier General John Forost, and he even wanted to give up retreating behind the bridge. The four battalions of the British who participated in the capture of the bridge have been mained. There are more than 2,000 of them, and now there are only 500 left. They led the 500 remnants of the army and retreated to the village of Osterbeck, three miles north of the bridge. Brigadier General John Forrest refused to retreat, and he continued to lead 600 people from the second airborne battalion to stick to the bridge.

The Germans are obviously not soft. They were also hit hard in the British suicide-like attack last night. Although they lost less than the British army, they angered the commander William? Lieutenant General Beatrich, he decided to give a look at the British, show them a little, and at the same time, he also wanted to recover the bridge north position that was still occupied by the British.

Colonel Downer of the 9th Armored Division of the SS in charge of this attack? Heins, standing in front of the armored car, raised his telescope to observe the north of the bridge for a while, and then turned to his deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Lisbon, "The British are hiding in the building, and they will definitely be ready. All we have to do is to destroy those buildings one by one and drive them out.

"This is a good idea. The British who have lost the barrier are like a group of ducks to be slaughtered. We can slaughter them at will!" Lieutenant Colonel Lisbon is very optimistic.

"No, even so, they are not easy to deal with. This group of British people are very stubborn, and they have this amazingly stupid bravery. Colonel Hence obviously paid more attention to the British army, and he was not careless at all.

"Tell all the attacking soldiers that the British buildings must be ruthlessly destroyed!" Colonel Hence gave the order and then praised his chariot. Wave your hand forward. The body of the chariot trembled slightly, and then rushed forward. Behind him were all kinds of light armored vehicles and leopard tanks.

"The Germans are coming! Lieutenant Colonel, get our people ready!" Brigadier General John Forrest pointed at a lieutenant colonel beside him. Is this Lieutenant Colonel Price? David, an Irishman, was originally the deputy of Lieutenant Colonel Gefu, but after the death of Lieutenant Colonel Gefu, Brigadier General John Forost took over the position of Lieutenant Colonel Gefu.

"Okay, General!" Lieutenant Colonel David nodded and then conveyed the order.

The British paratroopers nervously watched the German armored vehicles coming towards the bridge. The German soldiers on the armored vehicles and their ferocious faces because of nervousness made everyone's heart beat faster.

"God, are the Germans going to get all of us?" A British soldier lying at the window said to his partner who was also nervous next to him, "They came aggressively." He licked his lips, and then involuntarily tightened the gun.

"We will kill them!" His companion seems to be encouraging himself. But what he said was obviously a little out of breath, which he couldn't even believe himself.

"Ban!" Suddenly, there was a gunshot from the British army, and a guy pulled the trigger because of excessive tension.

"Stop, damn it!" Lieutenant Colonel David roared at the place where the gun was fired.

The German armored convoy has appeared in sight. The sound of the rumbling armored vehicles driving on the bridge invisibly gave the paratroopers strong pressure. They closed their mouths, then their eyes widened, waiting for the order to fire.

Obviously, the Germans also found some hidden British troops, and they opened fire.

"Boom--" made a loud noise, and the shell exploded through the wall and exploded indoors. Several British soldiers hiding in the residents' room screamed, and the air waves of the shells were thrown out of the broken wall. They were soon shot by the machine gun of the armored vehicle and fell to the ground.

"Stability, stability! Wait for them to approach!" Brigadier General John Forrest raised his hand and kept reminding him. Lieutenant Colonel David is also constantly repeating orders that the Germans have not yet entered the effective range of anti-tank rockets.

"Boom--" The Germans kept firing, their shells were constantly destroying nearby buildings, and machine guns kept shooting, taking the lives of the British troops who had lost their cover.

"Fire!" Brigadier General John Forrest finally waved his hand down fiercely and shouted loudly. Several rockets fired at the German armored vehicles from several angles.

"Boom!" With a few sounds, the German armored vehicle rushing to the front suddenly ignited everyone. A group of German soldiers on the armored vehicle tried to jump off the armored vehicle, but was soon shot by the British. The destroyed armored vehicle blocked the way out of the armored vehicle behind. They are blocked. And this is a good opportunity for the British to fight back.

"Kn't that armored car." Brigadier General John Forrest suddenly pointed to the front and was blocked by an armored car. It tried to reverse the car and ran back. Brigadier General John Forost saw in the telescope that the man who would expose the armored vehicle was a colonel commander, so he pointed to the armored car to the two rocket soldiers beside him and shouted, "It's yours. Kill it!"

"Wh!" With a sound, the rocket dragged the smoke and flew towards the armored vehicle. Then there was a huge explosion, and the armored car caught fire. The German colonel tried to crawl out. At this time, Brigadier General John Forrest grabbed the rifle of a soldier beside him, then aimed and pulled the trigger.

"Ban!" With a sound, the German colonel fell down from the armored car like a wooden stake. Lieutenant Colonel Lisbon in an armored car behind him saw it and ran quickly towards Colonel Hynes. He tried to drag him back, but he didn't know that a shot from Brigadier General John Forost hit him in the neck and pierced his artery.

"Ban! Bang! ! Bang!" ( Bang) A series of gunshots sounded. Brigadier General John Forrest accurately hit Lieutenant Colonel Lisbon who came to the rescue. He looked at the rescue lieutenant colonel from afar, covered his chest, fell sideways beside the colonel, motionless.

Although the German artillery fire was very fierce, the British stubbornly resisted their attack. With the death of Colonel Haynes and Lieutenant Colonel Lisbon, the Germans finally turned the front of the car and ran to the south end of the bridge. They retreated. More than a dozen destroyed armored vehicles were left behind, and a fire and smoke came out on the bridge.

"It's crazy!" Wales, who was observing not far away, couldn't help shaking his head. Obviously, it was such a fierce battle. Even in Normandy, he had never met it. This was a completely positive direct charge. "Do we have to wait?" He said this to Parks.

Parks looked at him, and then looked at the brothers behind him who were staring at him nervously. He smiled and said, "No, it's time for us to play!" Starting from tonight, this battle will belong to us. This time, let the Germans and the British remember us, Harry, are you ready?
