V2.Chapter 30

The three of them came to their destination.

Lu Li looked around and immediately found a post set up by Captain Mackay.

The paratrooper, Kent, is hiding on the third floor and looking down through the window.

Soon, he recognized the identity of Lu Li and others and shouted subconsciously.

Then captain Mackay put his head out. After confirming that the news was correct, his expression finally eased.

Because the enemy's bunker on the North Bank of the bridge is a headache, and with the return of the land, everything will be solved.

"Is it captain Mackay?" monk looked up along Lu Li's line of sight and exclaimed.

"Sir!" Henry, with better eyesight, quickly saluted.

At this time, Miller with his left hand wrapped in a bandage rushed out. He seemed to want to hug Lu Li, but he hesitated again.

"Man, what's the matter with you?" Lu Li stared at the piece of scarlet gauze and thought of the explosion not long ago.

Obviously, the investigation team is very short of medical supplies. Even if the sergeant is injured, he can't get a morphine.

"It's all right. I was wiped by shrapnel. The medic just took it out." Miller put his right hand on Lu Li's shoulder and led them to the school.

Seeing this, Lu Li didn't ask much. Compared with death, this situation is still acceptable.

"God, I thought I'd never see you three again!" the soldiers at the door looked exaggerated and excited.

In fact, it is difficult to hold the school by only nine people. Now Lu Li's return is undoubtedly good news, so that Captain Mackay came down to meet him personally: "sergeant, you are the best Sergeant I've ever seen. Everyone is looking forward to your return. It's great, great!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and monk and Henry standing nearby were speechless.

"Sir, calm down first."

"I have good news to tell you that the battalion has arrived, just across the road."

Although Lu Li felt that the second battalion was about to face a disaster, he was really happy to meet familiar people unexpectedly:

In fact, he couldn't tell whether it was a play or a reality, because everyone in front of him had his own ideas, personality and uniqueness.

"The battalion has arrived?" Captain Mackay nodded demurely, and then said again: "the battalion has arrived!"

With nearly 1000 troops in the battalion and reinforcements on the other two roads, they can hold on for two days even if there is any accident.

At this point, Captain Mackay couldn't help laughing, and several soldiers also felt relieved.

Seeing this, Lu Li didn't pour cold water.

After all, the truth is too cruel. It's better to know less and be optimistic.

After the captain calmed down, Lu Li spread out the map and continued, "Sir, this is the arrangement for Lieutenant Colonel frost to face the ground."

Hearing the speech, everyone gathered the smile on their faces and made a look of listening carefully.

"Lieutenant Colonel frost took the north end of the bridge as his position and requisitioned a total of 18 houses."

"They form a circular defense line. The battalion is located in the west of the North ramp, and our task is to stick to the east of the North ramp, take this school as the center and control the surrounding four houses."

A few minutes later, Lu Li put the map into the box and added: "however, the top priority is to remove the bridgehead and remove the obstacles for company a who is about to get on the bridge."

"That's right."

Captain Mackay thought so deeply. He turned his head and said to the soldiers gathered in the hall, "well, brothers, now that the good news is over, let's make way and perform their duties!"

Rest when you should rest, stand guard when you should stand guard.

"Good luck." Miller, who had just finished stitching his wound, pulled his hat down against the wall and covered his face. "I haven't rested all day and night. Unless the enemy attacks the school, I'll call me in two hours."

Monk wanted to say that he hadn't closed his eyes all day and night, but when he saw the bloody bandage on Miller's arm, he suddenly put out his mind.

At the same time, Captain Mackay rubbed his face and turned towards the stairs.

"Come on, I'll take you to the roof."

Not long after, Lu Li, carrying firearms, came to the top of the school.

Standing here overlooking the surroundings, you can see rows of well planned buildings: the court, the provincial capital building, the national archives, the post office, and the Church of San Eusebius, which dominates the urban area with a 305 foot high spire.

Frankly speaking, Lu Li doesn't like churches, because every time he meets them, he always has bad luck.

"Boss, what are you looking at?"

Munk put the Buren light machine gun on the bracket and returned to the team, which gave him a sense of security and increased his words.

"That church makes me feel unknown."

With that, Lu Li turned to look at the Arnhem bridge in front, and marksman Henry took his eyes back and whispered, "it's too high. Once the German snipers sneak in, half of the position will be exposed in their field of vision."

"Don't worry. Don't worry about it until dawn. German eyes can't go through the darkness, can they?"

Munk is not too worried about snipers, at least when the light is dull.

"Don't treat the enemy as fools. They often exceed our imagination!"

Captain Mackay's character was elusive. When he came to the roof, he looked like a different person with a serious face.

"Yes, sir," monk nodded and silently fiddled with his machine gun.

In fact, only when he talks to Lu Li can this guy be more comfortable and casual. When he meets other officers, he never dares to smile.

However, the situation is urgent now. No one pays attention to a first-class soldier. Lu Li lies on the ground and whispers, "company a will launch flares into the sky when launching an attack. At that time, I will attack the bridgehead with a bazooka."

"Sir, the other German soldiers will be handed over to you three, and the position on the west side of the North ramp will also provide fire support."

Mackay nodded, then picked up a rifle, fell down and replied, "I'll give you the dangerous bunker. I think Lieutenant Colonel frost will see you tomorrow morning at the latest."

In the captain's eyes, Lu Li is a high-end piat player. With his excellent achievements, he should win a Victoria Cross after the war.

For the future, Mackay always has a strong determination: we have been doing well. The casualties are relatively minor. As long as we keep on, we can win.

Lu Li didn't know what the officer was thinking. At the moment, he looked through the darkness and directly locked the target. His two fingers were firmly on the trigger, waiting for the flare to take off.

However, on the South Bank of the bridge, an elite German armored force has also entered the position.

Fate and Lu left a joke.

Sergeant Johannes van kuek is a member of the resistance. He and his colleagues often cooperate with the Germans to guard the Arnhem bridge.

Just an hour ago, at about 7:30 p.m., the bridge garrison composed of 25 veterans deserted because they were afraid of the Allied paratroopers after the battle of Normandy.

However, under the command of modle, an armored force quickly entered the South Bank of the bridge, and the defense master was talking to the commander on the phone.

"The enemy may rob the Arnhem bridge. Although I doubt it, if this happens, you must guard it at all costs!"

"Sir, why not consider blowing it up? Then the British paratroopers will be trapped in the city and never get the support of ground troops."

"Because we need it when we counterattack."

Then the phone was hung up.

Both sides began to wait for flares to take off, or the bridgehead on the north bank to fire.

A little over nine in the evening.

Lu Li saw about a platoon of soldiers coming out of the side position. The situation changed. Instead of firing flares, they tried to go to the south bank in the dark.

The next moment, the Germans became active.

A succession of gunfire and machine gun bullets declared that the trial ended in failure.

Almost at the same time, the armored forces at the southern end began to take action. A tank fighter drove up the bridge and fired without ammunition.

Hell seems to be open.

Nearby areas were illuminated by flames, machine gun fire was noisy, and explosions followed one another.

"Sergeant, you have the bridgehead."

Seeing that the situation was extremely chaotic, Captain Mackay immediately installed a gun grenade launcher and fired two flares into the sky without hesitation.

No one answered him.

Lu Li silently pressed the trigger, and an armor piercing bullet ran straight to the fortress, and then thumped.

The shell contained enough TNT to penetrate 4-inch tempered armor plate. It was used to deal with concrete buildings. It was definitely a sharp weapon.

Lieutenant Colonel frost stood on the balcony of his apartment, looking at the bridge and thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly he heard a loud noise. The bridgehead reaping life was wrapped in the fire, and the sound of ammunition was heard all the time.

The soldiers who were retreating were stunned, and screams of pain came out of the bunker. Then a group of Germans hobbled outside, rolled into the undercurrent flowing Rhine and splashed.

With a roar, the brutal battle was over, so fast that neither commander could expect it.

At the moment, the three people lying on the top floor of the school are staring at Lu Li. Even if this is not Lu Li's first miracle, it is still shocking.

The shooter, who thought he had accurate eyesight, reacted first and couldn't help asking, "Sir, did you transplant the eagle's eyes?"

"Don't think about it. God bless it. Monk knows that I've always been lucky." Lu Li calmly retracted the support, as if he had done a trivial thing.

For a moment, the named monk didn't know what to say. He silently took out a sports card cigarette, lit it and handed it over.

"Man, I think major Dover of company a should come and buy you a few drinks."

Captain Mackay didn't know what to say and just joked.

But he hit the mark.

Not only major Dover, but also the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel frost, were asking who was responsible for the next position.
