Chapter 166 Get out

"Boom!" The German incendiary bomb exploded in the grass and immediately caught fire. The fire burned the surrounding grass and trees. The Germans want to burn Parks or they want to drive Parks out in this way.

Waiting for the fire to burn, the German team formed a fan to surround them. The crackling sound of the burning made the Germans a little excited. If the damn sniper was in it, it would definitely be burned into coke. And they did judge that the sniper was inside. There is no sign of running away.

The fire burned for more than an hour, and then the Germans began to clean the place after the fire. Trying to pick up one or two unburned bones from the fire. But they were disappointed. Nothing. The bodies of some charred animals came out. The sniper seemed to have evaporated in the air.

"Where is he?" The German major looked into the distance and gritted his teeth fiercely.

But the confused German soldiers couldn't answer his question. They felt confused like a major. Why did a good person suddenly disappear?

"Hur, here are traces!" A German sergeant squatted by the stream by the fire, then looked at a coat by the stream and shouted loudly. Obviously, this was the evidence.

The major ran over quickly and picked up his coat. Suddenly, it was a military uniform, not British, but the military uniform of the U.S. military. Judging from the burning red silver bars on the military uniform, it was the military uniform of a U.S. military lieutenant, and from the broken military uniform, you can also see the eagle embroidered on the arms and the paratroopers on the chest. Badge.

"Damn it, this is the clothes of the U.S. paratroopers! Still a lieutenant! Is the sniper not British but American? The major couldn't help frowning, then grabbed the clothes tightly in his hand and gritted his teeth.

"Hur, what should we do now?" The sergeant looked at the major.

"Follow along this stream, you must catch up with the damn American. And inform the air force to increase the search. This stream leads to the Rhine River. We need to set up good people at the exit of the stream. We must not let that American slip away!" The major suddenly shouted behind him, "Communications, damn it, come here quickly, report our findings to the general immediately, and let them send the air force!"

"Okay, sir!" The messengers immediately began to contact, and soon received a response from the German headquarters. They agreed to the major's request and sent an air force patrol. And on the other hand, the search personnel were mobilized to assist the major and expand the search area. It seems that the Germans have the determination to catch the sniper.

The German search surface expanded, but they did not find Parks. But the German air force has made a surprise. The reconnaissance aircraft kept searching in the air, and constantly expanded the search area, carefully checking the exit of the stream and the Rhine. But they had nothing to rely on and were about to fly back. The co-pilot of the plane suddenly pointed to the front and exclaimed, "What is that? Is that our people? It seems to be a ferry!"

"Let's go and have a look!" The pilot flew to the army that seemed to be crossing the river at the ferry. Soon they made an amazing discovery. It was the British. They were waiting at the dock, and there were several ferries docked on the other side. The British soldiers were constantly getting off the ship and they were retreating.

"God, the British are going to escape!" The driver shouted, "We have to inform the headquarters as soon as possible!" Soon, the plane circled in the air and flew back. This was an unexpected discovery, and the last batch of British paratroopers were sent directly to hell.

But the Germans didn't find Parks. When the German shells exploded and the fire ignited, he knew that it was going to be bad. He ran desperately in the grass. Now the only thing that could get him out of danger was the stream. The German used incendiary bombs. He didn't want to be buried in the sea of fire, but the fire still swept over him.

Parks simply took off his coat, wrapped his head and upper body, and hooked his body, like a leopard fleeing in the fire, fast and agile. He felt that the muscles on his body were almost exploding.

It's close, and the stream is right in front of us. The fire behind him was about to devour him.

Parks' body was like a fish. At the end, he slid over. He lost his coat, then kicked his feet, and his whole body fell into the stream, and then sank his body into the water. The tongue of the fire raged over the stream and then flashed away. He was safe, but Parks didn't dare to move. He couldn't guarantee that he would not be found by the Germans. Now the grass has been burned.

He lay quietly in the stream. The only thing to do is to stay still, stretch your whole body in a natural state, and then suddenly take a breath, float your body and float with the flowing water. Although it was very slow, the fire burned for more than an hour. At this time, it was impossible for the Germans to search, which also allowed him to float far enough away from the Germans to find out.

Then he climbed out of the stream, turned around and ran to the woods. Because he heard the roar of the plane in the air, the Germans must have mobilized the plane to scout after not finding their bodies. It seems that the Germans are determined to catch themselves. To make the German army pay so much attention, Parks couldn't help but be a little proud, although he was still in danger.

When he passed through the woods, Parks already felt that he seemed to have got rid of the German pursuers behind him. They chased along the stream and were doomed to find their own. He took out the compass from the zipper of his trousers (which he learned from Captain Winters), and then took out a map that was about to rot from his trousers, carefully spread out and identify his direction. Then he carefully put away the map and walked towards the Hevidol ferry.

But when he approached the ferry, he heard the sound of explosions and the sound of machine guns, as well as the strange heartbreaking sound made when the plane dived, which obviously came from the ferry.

Parks was shocked. Did the Germans still find them? He walked over quietly, then lay on the ground, took off the sniper rifle, and then observed the ferry through the scope.

German bombers kept shooting at the British army who boarded the ship, and the ships that had been offshore were wildly bombarded and strafed by the Germans in the air. Then Parks saw two ships spinning in place after being shot by the Germans, and then the bombers roared and dropped bombs, blowing up the ship. The whole ship and the British troops inside were torn apart and annihilated.

There is no British army other than the British army killed by the German army on the dock. Obviously, this is the last British army to retreat. After this bombing and shooting, there are less than a hundred people who can cross the river.

"God!" Parks couldn't help exclaiming. He slowly took back the sniper rifle and couldn't help but be stunned. His reaction was the same as others. He thought he had found a suitable retreat for the British, but now he still buried nearly a thousand British troops in the Rhine.

Originally, I thought I could change the fate of the British army, but I didn't know that the fate of the British army seemed to be doomed. From the beginning, the British army did not expect that the German army would strike desperately after the oil and ammunition depots were attacked, nor did they expect that the German army would blow up the Arnaum Bridge and cut off its retreat. What's more, the German aircraft accidentally found that it would finally send a part of the British army that was about to cross the river into the Rhine River.

This German bombing just pulled the number of British casualties to nearly 8,000, and the British casualties in the battle of the Arnaum Bridge in history were the same number. It seems that nothing has changed. The only change is that the two bridges that were not destroyed were blown up by the German army.

Parks couldn't help but feel depressed. In the market garden operation, the Allies still failed, and the Germans would still control the area south of the bridge, and then they could form a confrontation with the Allies with domestic support. It seems that the road to Berlin has been blocked.

"Damn the British! Arrogant British!" Parks scolded for no reason. Obviously, this failure was not his fault. The arrogance and arrogance of the British caused their casualties. On the good side, the casualties of the 101st Airborne Division in the whole operation have decreased a lot compared with history, and most of the brothers of the E Company, who were killed nearly half of the battle, were able to save their lives. However, this is the conclusion reached by Parks after asking Winters.

It seems that the dock can't be gone. I believe that the German infantry will soon enter and clean up the battlefield. If Modal knows that he is dizzy and feels that he has been fooled, the attention of the Germans will definitely shift to him again. At that time, it will be more difficult for him to get rid of them.

Parks quietly left this area. He quietly hid in the woods, looked around warily, and then disguised himself with grass. He must always pay attention to the situation around him, even if it is a small movement. And now there is another bad thing, that is, I am tired and hungry. If I can't replenish my physical strength in time, I'm afraid it's a fantasy to escape from here.

Parks lay on his stomach so quietly, staring at his prey, and also paying attention to those hunters who always pay attention to him. A cold snake swam in front of Parks and suddenly raised its triangular head at Parks.

"Thank you for bringing me dinner!" Parks smiled and muttered in his heart. Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the seven inches of the snake. His speed was very fast. Then the other hand rubbed hard on the snake, and the aggressive arrogance of the long snake immediately disappeared and became a dead snake.

Raw snake meat is not delicious. Parks suppressed the disgusting smell and smell and swallowed hard. He didn't dare to make a fire, because even a little firework would expose his goal.

I suppressed the feeling of vomiting. After eating the long snake, I felt a little down-to-earth in my stomach. Then he caught two frogs like a rabbit, which had gradually regained some strength.

The sky gradually faded. The Germans had cleaned up the battlefield along the Rhine. More than 200 British soldiers were killed on the shore dock, and about 500 people were buried in the Rhine. As a result, Admiral Urkert almost went away. After the German plane flew away, he looked at the team of less than a hundred people, looking at Brigadier General John Forost with a bloody face, and couldn't speak for a long time.

It's a sleepless night. The German search stopped at nightfall. They set up sentries along the Rhine River and guarded almost all the surrounding river banks.

Parks threw away his sniper rifle and quietly approached the Rhine. He looked at the soldiers patrolling with flashlights on the beach. Then, as they turned around, they quietly approached the river, and then quietly slid into the cold Rhine.
