Alfred, 21, is a sergeant who has just returned from the Russian battlefield. He has experience in street warfare and is currently waiting on the freight train to Arnhem——
Not long ago, Alfred was told that he and his class would be re equipped.
Around ten o'clock, the train slowed down and drew near the station. At the moment when the door opened, the soldiers were surprised to find that Arnhem station was in a mess, and the teams from all kinds of organizations had lined up and pulled out in order.
"Sir, where are we going to fight and where are the targets? I've never been to Arnhem, or even heard of it." a soldier asked in a low voice.
However, Alfred had never been to the west line, so he shook his head and continued to smoke.
After half a cigarette, a major came over and told them not to report to the command post in the city. After receiving ammunition supplies, he went directly to the attack target.
Soon, the experienced class changed from unarmed to almost armed to teeth: Battle clothes, helmets, machine guns, carbines, grenades, and several anti tank missile launchers.
"Sir," Alfred said hesitantly, "why is the red roofed house on this map so big?"
"It's a school. Now it's occupied by British soldiers. I want you to take it back."
Hearing the speech, Alfred saluted, immediately turned around and led his class to march towards the target.
At the same time, fierce street fighting has broken out in the center of the city. The Germans have divided their troops into parts and constantly penetrated into the buildings on both sides of the bridge ramp, while the snipers who occupied the church tower in advance are also locking their prey through the barrel flame.
As for the second battalion, which stuck to the North Bank of the bridge, they were attacked from behind. The German army occupying the south side of the bridge began to fire mortars for frontal interference, while those small groups of enemy troops attacked secretly from the rear and compressed their own positions.
Lu Li, who was guarding the top floor of the school, heard gunshots coming from all directions.
Facts have proved that the interval from 9:00 to 10:00 is only a temporary calm, and the battle breaks out again, and it seems that every soldier participates in it, or fights alone, or forms a temporary combat team to fight to the death with the enemy.
Standing high, Lu Li could overlook the whole situation. He saw a soldier on fire and rolling wildly on the ground. He was hit by a phosphorus bomb, and he had to wait to die in this case.
Seeing this, monk squatting next to him shivered, and his cigarette butts slipped into the hedge downstairs.
Suddenly, the car engine buzzed, and four jeeps rushed into the school. It was major Gough's escort. He had to meet Lu Li as soon as possible before the Germans.
"Don't be nervous, it's your own!"
At this time, Lu Li caught a glimpse that monk had put his hand on the machine gun trigger, quickly turned around and pressed it.
Major Goff, sitting in the co pilot's position, did not know that the sergeant he wanted to see had not met, so he saved his life.
A few minutes later, a group of people met at the entrance of the school corridor. Looking at the unexpected nine people, Goff felt that God had treated himself well.
"Are you?" the major was eager to know which army the team came from, because frost claimed that there were only three guards in the school.
An idea came to mind: after he left, the 1st and 3rd battalions broke through the enemy's line and began to arrive in Arnhem city.
"Royal Engineers."
With that, Captain Mackay asked in a deep voice, "Sir, there are only so many soldiers left around me. What are the next arrangements?"
The previous sentence disillusioned major Goff, but he quickly adjusted his mind and began to arrange tasks.
"You continue to stick here, and my escort will disperse to the rear of the school and hide in those three houses."
Looking at the 16 soldiers behind him, Lu Li couldn't help frowning. Although the three buildings were not as large as the school, they wanted to hold the position with so many troops. Frankly, they were reluctant.
Probably aware of Lu Li's doubts, major Gough added: "the jeep is equipped with two 75 mm howitzers and three flame throwers."
"If necessary, we can provide fire support for you."
Obviously, this kind of weapon configuration is undoubtedly extravagant, and Lu Li's worry is somewhat superfluous.
"Does anyone have any questions?" Goff pulled the pistol out of its holster. "Take advantage of the opportunity now to bring it up quickly. I'll be busy next."
"Major, I have a problem!" monk raised his hand. "How can I keep in touch without communication tools?"
"First class, you don't even have the strength to shout?"
With that, Goff glanced at the guy and took the lead to go outside.
A qualified commander will make a reasonable judgment according to the war situation, and there is no need to contact at all, because he will naturally provide support when he detects something wrong through binoculars and explosions.
If it weren't for the amazing performance of this cargo when using machine guns in the afternoon, Lu Li would doubt whether a spy had been mixed into the red devil and deliberately delayed.
After all, there are more magical things. For example, Hutchison sneaks into the wolves to be king.
"Guys, it's time to work and cheer up!" Miller put on his helmet and came over with a rifle.
This is the case with war.
Wounded soldiers also need to fight before declaring surrender or losing combat capability.
However, Captain Mackay assigned different tasks according to the injury.
Miller and three other disabled paratroopers went to the top floor to monitor the enemy situation, and the flame thrower brought by land departure was handed over to them; Lu Li continued to form a combat team with Henry and monk to stick to the teaching building and protect the safety of the wounded.
As for captain Mackay, he will lead five brothers who can normally fight against the enemy in the hedges, school buildings and other ancillary buildings outside the building.
Soon, the reconvened investigation team dispersed again. Lu Li took a cup of freshly cooked hot tea, sipped it and looked around through the broken glass window.
Behind him was monk, who was erecting a machine gun in the corridor and constantly adjusting the direction so that the barrel was facing the corridor.
"Boss, aren't you worried?"
Henry went to the portable stove, put the teapot on it and prepared hot things to warm up. After all, a big heart is essential to be a sniper.
"What are you worried about? As long as you don't encounter the enemy's armored forces, the position will be lost."
Lu Li's tone is firm. Even if there is no basis, he can still convince the two people behind him.
Night is the home of the werewolf.
