Chapter 148 Mistake
The southern end of the bridge has been blocked by burning tanks. After the armored vehicles in front of the Germans were destroyed, the impact vehicles behind them could not move forward. The soldiers in the armored vehicles jumped down one after another and began to attack the defensive positions of Parks.
The MG42 machine gun arranged by the Germans on the fort to defend the British army turned over and became their own deadly weapon. Chris Denson is a machine gunner. This time he only brought BAR, which obviously made him feel less enjoyable. The MG42 gave him another experience. The rapid rate of fire and the storm-like bullet rain gave him a crazy exciting experience.
"Come on, kill you!" Chris denson roared. The sound of the MG42 this time was not a fear of feeling powerless, but an extreme catharsis, "Try your own machine guns. What an amazing baby. I really want to have a machine gun like this.
What the Germans didn't expect was that they were only a few dozen meters away from the bridge, but these dozens of meters became their cemeteries. The tearing sound of the MG42 machine gun they had always been proud of became their own life-threatening sound. The bullets beat their bodies to the cripples, making them charge again and again, turning them into the road to death.
"This is unfair! This is not fair!" A German soldier finally couldn't stand the suffocating breath of death suppressed by machine gun shooting. He shouted, threw away the rifle and ran back. He opened his head, and then spread it to other Germans like a plague, and they fled to the rear desperately. Then some people were chased by bullets and shot on the bridge.
The Germans' first attack was repulsed. They retreated quickly and fled like flying. Of course, they will not give up, but the second attack must accumulate strength. This gap made the rows of brothers feel a little relieved.
When the Germans retreated, Wales realized its current situation. He obviously thought of the possible surname of the German's two-sided attack. Then he frowned and found Parks.
"What should we do now?" Wales smiled bitterly and said, "We can't stand the double attack of the Germans. Obviously, the Germans behind us will come soon!" We can't stay here."
Parks smiled and said, "Who said we were going to stay here?"
Wales was stunned and said, "Then why do we occupy this place?"
"Assemble the brothers, Harry, we're going to meet the Poles." Parks patted Wales on the arm, "The remnants of the Polish First Brigade were blocked by the Germans on the west side of the Rhine River, on the south side of the bridge. All we have to do is meet them and let the Poles attack the southern end of the bridge again.
Wales said in surprise, "How do you know that the Poles are in the west Rhine?"
"Judge!" Parks pointed to his head and smiled, "My judgment on this battle. Believe me, Harry, I won't put my brothers in danger. I promise!"
"Okay!" Despite doubts, Wales still showed trust in Parks, because he had no choice. Now if the brothers do not retreat, they will soon fall into a desperate situation.
"Gerry!" Parks shouted and then said to him, "Call your brother and cut off all the circuits of the bridge. We packed up our equipment and got ready to go!"
"Cut the wire?" Gernari muttered, "Yes, if the Germans who attack from the north of the bridge and the Germans who attack from the south of the bridge can't see each other, do you know what will happen?" Parks shook his head, then took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "God bless them. Just don't have the right time!"
"Head, I have to say, you are so bad!" Gnell laughed and said, "But I like it. Germans suffer, and they will go crazy. With that, he began to work with a few brothers.
Even Wales can't help laughing at this idea. He laughed all the way to the Poles and said, "It's lucky that you're not on the side of the Germans. God, this is a wonderful idea. If Dick knew, he would also marvel at your genius. You should know that he doesn't admire a person easily. At least I know that you are one of the people he admires most now!"
Parks smiled and said nothing. Now they have abandoned all their heavy weapons and went into battle lightly. In order to hurry up, they dare to connect with the Poles before the Germans wake up, and then take them to take them down the southern end of the bridge again. This has long been in Parks's plan. It's just that he didn't tell anyone before, because after closing all the communications on his side, he almost lost contact with his side. Then the Dutch will definitely not know about it. However, unlike others, Parks has the advantage of being familiar with history, which is the most important thing.
Under Parks' absolute authority, a row of brothers, including Wales, chose to follow blindly. In fact, they have no choice. Only in this way may there be a chance to escape. Otherwise, when the Germans come to their senses, I'm afraid they will be ruthlessly crushed by the Germans.
The second attack of the Germans from the north of the bridge soon began. Their scale was larger than the first one. They aggressively wanted to occupy the south of the bridge in one fell swoop, and they contacted the troops on the south bank by radio and prepared to attack on both sides to annihirate the group of "British people" they thought to the south of the bridge in avenge the snow. Hate.
The Germans at the south end of the bridge are in the furious German Waffen-SS 9th Hohen Staufen Armored Division William? Under the personal leadership of Lieutenant General Beatrich, he was the first to rush to the defensive fortress of the bridge, but they found that it was dark here, and they moved forward cautiously, trying to catch those hateful "British people" off guard. They were disappointed, and the first German army to rush over in fear found that there was no one here.
The "British" ran away! William? Lieutenant General Beatrich was angry, which was a shame for him. After being secretly attacked by the "British" oil depots and ammunition depots, they actually took the opportunity to sneak up on the fortress at the southern end of the bridge, and also repelled the attack of the German reinforcements in the north of the bridge, and now they slipped away under their own eyes.
"What should we do? General!" A colonel asked Lieutenant General Beatrich.
Lieutenant General Bitrich immediately woke up, and then frowned and thought for a few minutes: "This group of British should be moving westward, where there are Polish paratroopers who fell from the air today. They will meet the Poles. Let's chase them to the west!" Obviously, he understood the damn "British" intentions in his heart.
"to the west!" The lieutenant colonel shouted loudly and gave orders to the officers around him.
As soon as his voice fell, suddenly a rain of bullets poured on him on the bridge. At that time, the colonel was beaten into a honeycomb and fell down. Several officers around him affected the fish pond and several of them were knocked down.
"British, British sneak attack, defense, defense!" The German officers shouted loudly. They used the MG42 machine guns arranged on the fort and began to shoot wildly at the dark bridge.
The explosion of "Boom--" came one after another, accompanied by screams and shouts. The bridge was flashed by the fire of various explosions, and a group of soldiers were rushing towards the southern end of the bridge. But no one cares about it. They just fire desperately.
Bitlich was covered by his adjutant and hid behind the fortress. But he soon felt something was wrong. He said to the adjutant, "Did you hear anything?"
"It's a sneak attack from the British, General!" The adjutant replied.
"No, no, damn it, we're beating our own people!" Lieutenant General Bittrich suddenly said angrily, "We have been used by the British. Damn it, stop the fire immediately, use flares, and then play our flag!" Hurry up--" He said, and finally roared loudly.
Obviously, this is another British trick. When the Germans in the north of the bridge attacked for the first time, they were scared by what they thought were British anti-tank weapons. This time, they were all infantry attacking. They believed that under the cover of darkness, the infantry could play a sudden role and a surprise attack. But it also caused a situation of killing each other.
"General, are we still chasing?" The adjutant said to Lieutenant General Bittrich again, "We are all ready!" The Germans in the two places quickly cleared up the misunderstanding and were integrated, waiting for orders.
Lieutenant General Bittrich shook his head and sighed sadly, "We have lost the best time and opportunity to pursue. Let the troops stand by and strengthen the defensive fortress. We have to deal with the attack from the west. I believe they will appear soon!" He knew that if this small group of British and Poles met, they would probably join the Poles to attack the southern end of the bridge. After all, they have now blown up their own arsenal and oil depot, which is the best time to attack.
As Lieutenant General Bittrich expected, Parks and others have moved west and approached the Polish defense zone. They are located in the village of Deere on the south bank of the Rhine and use it as a headquarters. The Polish First Reading Parachute Battalion is stationed here, and opposite them is the airborne area of the British First Airborne Division, which has now been occupied by the Germans. They can't cross the river to meet the British.
General Sushaboski personally commanded the troops of this battalion. But when they were airborne, they were ambushed by the German army and suffered some losses. But there are still about 1,200 people, and their morale is still there.
On the periphery of the Deere village headquarters, Polish soldiers were patrolling. Their nerves were very tight, and several sentries made loud noises on the grass, trying to make themselves look bolder.
"Sanla, I'm a little scared!" The voice of a Polish sentry trembled in the dark, and there were two soldiers beside him.
"I'm scared too!" A Polish soldier responded.
"When will this damn battle end?" The soldier named Sandra continued to ask.
"God knows that the British are surrounded by the Germans. We have to save them. Oh, are we God? Damn it!" The soldier scolded and looked a little frustrated.
Suddenly, he pricked up his ears, and then he bent down warily and raised his gun at a fence not far away and shouted, "Who is it? Come out, or you will shoot! Hurry up!"
Several other Polish paratroopers also immediately raised their guns and aimed at the ringing fence.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm an American!" Someone shouted loudly behind the fence. He raised his hands high in his hand, and there was no weapon in his hand.
"American? God, Americans won't be here!" Sandra shouted, "You must be German!" With that, he raised the rifle and was about to shoot.
