Chapter 921 Village

【Qian ♂Qian ÷Xiao→Shuo◇Net.】, wonderful reading without pop-ups!

The panicked British army used all the equipment they could use to shoot at these tanks...grenades, submachine guns, and bazooka.

But all efforts were hard, and the "Tiger Style" still slowly approached them with the infantry.

Among them, the bazooka may have some threat to the "Tiger Style". In history, the US military used the "Bazouka" bazooka to destroy the "Tiger Style" in the Battle of Sicily, but later it was discovered that the bazooka happened to hit the "Tiger Style" observation hole.

"Retreat!" Colonel Stephen, who was in charge of commanding the attack of the troops, shouted. He decisively gave up his mission when he saw the "Tiger Style" because he knew that the task of occupying the bridge was a joke in front of the "Tiger Style".

"These abominable intelligence officers!" Colonel Stephen cursed while retreating with his troops: "They told us there were no enemy armored troops here and then threw us here..."

Colonel Stephen was stunned because he saw that he had been stopped by five "tigers" on the road behind him at some point. The 11th Aircraft Reservation Battalion, which was in charge of the palace behind, had been beaten to a terrible surprise... Originally, Stephen hoped that the 11th Aircraft Reservation Battalion could use their firepower to cover the troops' retreat.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, it was empty. Although Stephen knew that the German "Tiger" could not catch up because of the soft geology, almost the distance between the "Tiger" machine guns and artillery fire was within the range of the "Tiger" machine guns and artillery fire.

After thinking about it, Colonel Stephen ordered: "Surrender, boys!"

"But colonel..."

"Execute the order!" said Colonel Stephen: "If you want to see your family, raise your hands and continue to hit you!"

After pausing, Colonel Stephen shouted: "Hurry, white flag! Tell them we will surrender..."

Colonel Stephen's behavior seemed to be inconsistent with the status of a soldier, especially as a colonel.

But in fact, his choice was rational, because the battle situation was indeed as he said, and it would be meaningless to continue to fight.

Major General Redric is still unwilling to give up.

This is because he still has a chance to escape...it is determined by his position relatively backward.

On the other hand, Major General Redric believes that he should warn the 2nd Paratrooper Brigade and even other people who were stationed in the spot, otherwise they would attack the targets as stupidly as the 1st Paratrooper Brigade. These targets are actually traps, and even their traps are the same... hide the tanks with collapsed buildings.

Major General Redric guessed this point correctly. The German army set the same traps in all directions, because there are no other ways to disguise other than similar methods in the Netherlands.

But this does not mean that these traps do not work, because the Allies did not have time to warn others after discovering them.

Redric hoped to do this, so he took his troops to retreat in the direction of the 2nd Paratrooper Brigade.

The 1st Umbrella Division is worthy of being an elite British army. Although they knew it was useless, in order to cover the commander's retreat, they still used the rifles and machine guns in their hands to shoot at the German tanks.

A guard drove a jeep in front of General Redric in a chaos. After Redric got on the car, he stepped on the accelerator and ran away from the tank... The guard driving the jeep was very good at driving, sometimes walking on the left and right in the shape of the "Z" that made the tank unable to aim.

But the guards obviously underestimated the quality of German tank crew... Those who can drive "Tiger" tanks are veterans who have experienced battle formations, especially the 21st Armored Division. Of course, they have a way to deal with this "Zhi" zigzag escape.

A tank slowly adjusts its turret, which is the gunner's position that the jeep will pass next, and then aims the muzzle at this position in advance waiting for the target to break into his own firing world.

People always have an inertia, and they will do the same repetitive actions in their subconscious mind, especially when the battlefield is in tension.

This makes the direction of the jeep not uncovered.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the jeep crashed into the sight of the tank gun, and the tank shot out the shells with a "bang"... The shells rotated at high speed and headed straight towards the direction of the jeep. With a violent explosion, the jeep was already broken before it was blown into the sky.

The British soldiers were soon in despair as they looked at the jeep that turned into a ball of flame and then fell heavily from the air.

The main force of the 1st Paratrooper Brigade of the British, known as the "Red Devil" because of its brave battle wearing a red beret, collapsed across the board in less than an hour of battle.

The north bank of Arnhem Bridge is full of corpses of British soldiers, and piles of wounded soldiers raising their hands and screaming with broken hands and feet... More than 3,000 people in the brigade, except for a small number of them who became scattered soldiers and fled, most of them were killed or captured at Arnhem Bridge.

However, this is just the beginning.

The commander of Colonel Celt's 2nd Paratrooper Brigade, he was ordered to garrison 10 kilometers north of the Arnhem Bridge. Their mission was to receive the second batch of airborne supplies and gather subsequent paratroopers.

but……

"Fuck it!" Colonel Celter scolded at the water in the pit after digging a few foxholes: "No one told us that this would happen!"

This is a mistake that should not be made, because as long as any Dutchman or even anyone who has been to the Netherlands knows this.

But Montgomery was too eager to launch this attack, as he said, "It must be quick, or the opportunity will slip away from his hands."

Montgomery was even more worried that the German armored troops would enter the Netherlands, so that the entire plan could not be implemented, so Britain would lose the opportunity to attack Germany.

So, they didn't even know that the terrain here was not suitable for building fortifications.

"We should probably find a higher place!" Colonel Celt said to the staff: "At least not here! Otherwise, we will have to fight the enemy in the water!"

The staff officer agreed: "Water will slow our movements, which is indeed not an ideal position!"

"Colin!" At this time, a soldier shouted at Selt: "German, they are here!"

Celter hurriedly bent down and ran for a while, lowered his body and raised his telescope to look in the direction the soldiers shouted...

"Damn it!" Celter cursed: "There are at least two battalions of Germans, and what's worse is that they have armored vehicles!"

Paratroopers are equipped with only light weapons, and it is difficult for them to penetrate the armored vehicles.

After looking at the direction of the German army, Celte asked, "Is there any place behind us to defend?"
