Chapter 162 Escape
"The Germans are coming up!" Wales held up a telescope, and he could clearly see that the Germans were stopping their tanks and armored vehicles. This shows that the Germans are making final preparations for the attack.
"What should we do? Are you leaving now?" Sergeant Martin said to Wales.
"No, no, we have to wait. If we retreat at this time, we will inevitably be chased and beaten by the Germans. They will take the opportunity to destroy us!" Wales shook his head, and he was squeering when Parks would do it.
Before that, Wales had told General Urkert about Parks's plan and pointed out the location of the ferry with Vidor. The distance was not very far, but if the German attack was disrupted, it only took four hours, and they could occupy the ferry and cross the river. It's just that he didn't know what General Uckert planned.
"You should at least consider an opinion." Brigadier General John Forrest said to General Urkert, "I think that lieutenant is more reliable. Anyway, we have no way out now. Why don't we try it?"
"I also agree with the brigadier general's words." Admiral Sushaboski nodded and said, "To be honest, I like that boy very much. And I also fully believe that he will bring us another miracle.
"Miracle?" Admiral Urkert is not optimistic, but now he is on the dead end. He has to try it. The explosion of the bridge in the north means sitting and waiting for his to be killed. Now there is a glimmer of light in front of him. However, the ferry is not shown on our map. How did he know that there was a ferry there? He still raised his own questions.
"Don't forget, Admiral Urkert, Lieutenant Parks parachuted here in a glider before we parachuted. They came to scout. Will there be any problems?" Admiral Susaboski asked rhetorically.
"You asked me!" Admiral Urkett didn't know how to answer, and then said to the second lieutenant, "Contact the Allied headquarters quickly and tell them where we are. We will occupy the ferry eight miles west of the bridge, call the ferry to Vidor, and let them send all the ships to pick us up and provide us with cover. The Germans have planes, heavy artillery and tanks!"
"I hope this decision is right!" Admiral Urkert couldn't help sighing.
"God bless us!" Brigadier General John Frost drew a cross on his chest.
"I'll go to the front line and have a look." Urkert grabbed the telescope and military cap by the table, and then quickly walked towards the front position. He was followed by Brigadier General John Frost and Admiral Susaboski.
German chariots can be clearly seen with binoculars one kilometer away. Admiral Urkert has great reason to worry, because his anti-tank weapons are almost used, and there are no heavy artillery, and there is no ability to stop those moving steel monsters.
"The Germans have stopped! It seems that the situation is not good!" Urkert said to Admiral Sushaboski beside him, "They are preparing for the final attack. Damn it, we only have rifle bullets on our side. Damn supplies, no airdrop of jeeps, no airdrop of heavy weapons, we only have the only hope now.
At this time, a shell suddenly exploded not far from Urkert. Lieutenant Colonel David next to Brigadier General John Forost rushed up and pressed the general under him. The earth that flew in the sky fell one after another, drenched several people's faces.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, Lieutenant Colonel, you can get up!" Urkert struggled and tried to climb out from under Lieutenant Colonel David.
"Are you sure? General!" Lieutenant Colonel David was not at ease.
"Yes, yes! I feel very good now. I'm not hurt at all!" Urquette struggled again, and then David moved away from him and looked at him.
"Very good, isn't it?" Urkert smiled at him and then shrugged his shoulders.
"General, the German side, look!" Brigadier General John Frost suddenly shouted at him, "They look very flustered, and their offensive formation is completely chaotic. God, we didn't hear the gunfire just now, but they were in a mess!"
"They got it!" Admiral Sushaboski suddenly said slowly, "I knew he could do it. General Urgt, give the order quickly. We must take advantage of their chaotic time to retreat!"
In the telescope, Urkett saw that the German team was in a mess. They kept shooting around, and then the Germans turned their heads and bombarded them crazily.
It seems that Admiral Sushaboski is right. The opportunity is fleeting.
"Okay, I'll order, retreat immediately!" Admiral Urkert put down his telescope and looked at the two people, and then exhaled deeply, "God bless us, everyone!"
"God bless us!" The two nodded at the same time, and then immediately gave the order to retreat. They abandoned all the heavy materials, went into battle lightly, took advantage of the chaos of the German army, quietly retreated, and rushed to the ferry.
Wales led a row of brothers to the front, leading the way, followed by Zhang Huang's British and Poles. They didn't make a sound, but silently even trotted with the line.
"Wow--" The bullet roared, and it disappeared into General Bittlich's uniform in an instant, and then a ball of red blood quickly soaked his uniform and spread around. He just stumbled and fell to the ground, motionless. Then the officers beside him who were about to gather the army were stunned, and then swarmed up and surrounded Lieutenant General Bittlich in the middle.
The major general just raised his head, and then a blood flower bloomed on his head and lifted his military cap. He also fell to the ground without saying a word. The throat made a dying struggle sound.
"Sniper!" Someone called out loudly. Obviously, Lt. General Beatrich was shot and killed by the enemy's snipers in full view of the public, causing panic in the whole army, and everyone suddenly became a mess. Although the SS is a well-trained force, if it shoots ordinary officers, it will soon be filled and commanded on behalf of others. But the highest commander was shot, and there was also a major general, who were all shot in front of German soldiers. The Germans were preparing for the attack and stopped. Without the order of the supreme commander, the troops would never attack.
"Shoot, shoot immediately, shoot around!" A lieutenant colonel suddenly shouted loudly. The basic military qualities of the Germans were reflected. After a short period of panic, they immediately began to fight back, although they did not know the target. Cannonballs and bullets began to shoot around like a carpet.
"Go!" Parks suddenly patted Xifudi on the shoulder, got up and ran behind him. And the shells soon covered the hidden places they had just left, raising bursts of mud.
"Quick, fast, fast!" Parks and Sifudi ran desperately. They jumped in the woods, and the good physical strength they usually trained was reflected at this time. There is a hillside ahead.
"Jump!" Parks shouted, and then the whole person fell down the slope. When the shells fell down the hillside, they roared and fell on the top of their heads, exploding not far from the hillside, and behind them were as if they had been ploughed once, and they were pitted by the shells.
Seeing the shells falling forward, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Head, what should we do now? Do you want to follow the first road? Xi Fudi looked at Parks nervously.
Parks looked back. He had faintly heard the sound of German motorcycles and the continuous shouts of soldiers. Obviously, the Germans sent a large number of teams to search, and he even heard the barking of dogs.
"No way!" Parks suddenly said, "The Germans will follow our footsteps to the ferry, and then the British army and the row of brothers will be finished. Xifudi, we have to take the second way!"
"Oh, God, this is really bad news!" Xi Fudi couldn't help patting his forehead.
Parks patted his arm, got up and said, "Come on, let's walk along the stream!" With that, he ran quickly in the direction of the second retreat. Obviously, Parks wanted to get rid of the Germans and then go to the ferry to meet the rows of brothers.
The German search team dispersed, and they began a carpet search on both sides of the road. Some Germans immediately transferred a lot of hounds from the village of Desaiker to search for the British who dared to ambush. They have always believed that it was the British who destroyed the oil and ammunition depots and killed Lieutenant General Beatrich. Modal received the report at the first time, and the wise marshal immediately fell into rage. He even suspended the attack on the British and had to find the sniper first. To report the hatred of the ammunition depot, the oil depot and the killing of his own generals.
As Parks said, war sometimes depends on a little luck. Now after Modal was furious, the British and Poles and a row of brothers got lucky.
In fact, Marshal Modal already thinks that the British and Poles are difficult to fly. The Arnem Bridge was blown up in the north, the British retreat was cut off, and the Nejmegen Bridge was also blown up. The Allied rescue must not be transported across the river by a pontoon bridge in a day or two. This is what he can boldly give the order to stop the attack in wartime and blindly destroy the group of commandos who hurt his brains.
The hound stopped by a stream. They kept spinning around the stream.
"Colo, there seems to be no way here!" A German sergeant reported to the colonel behind him.
The colonel walked forward with a grim look, and then squatted on the ground and wiped it carefully. Obviously, the footprints by the stream disappeared, and there were no footprints on the other side. The stream washed away people's breath, and the hounds were powerless and lost their pursuit goal.
"Is it true that the British have been walking in the stream?" The colonel couldn't help but wonder that if the British snipers walked in the stream, they would never be fast and would be very likely to catch up with them.
"Continue to search along the stream and pay attention to the front." The colonel thought carefully for a while, and then gave the order. The brigade of Germans searched along the stream.
The barking of dogs gradually disappeared in my ears, and the Germans have gone very far.
At this time, in a tall grass not far from the stream, suddenly the weed shook gently a few times, and a figure came out of it. He bowed and looked around. Then he waved to the grass and whispered, "Xifudi, come out, let's get rid of them!"
