A Weird Theater That Started In London

Doetinchem, Interim Command.

Model, who had just been transferred, was still upset, and he roared to his adjutant: The British plane almost hit me! They are going to hit the headquarters! Think about it! There are more soldiers in the entire Arnhem area than me! Something of value?

The master of defensive warfare fidgets, having been on the phone with his subordinates at a country house in the early afternoon before being forced to transfer to Doetinchem, before he could even pack his underwear and toiletry set.

Go and inform von Rundstedt that more airborne troops will be landing this evening, I insist, send us armored vehicles, artillery, heavy mobile anti-tank weapons, and anti-aircraft troops as quickly as possible .”

The adjutant felt that Model was a little nervous. Although he was very important, he was not worthy of such a large-scale raid by the enemy.

Sir, I think you should look at this first. General Student has just radioed a document.

That was the action sheet for Project Market Garden, leaked this afternoon, and now the intelligence community has decoded it all:

Montgomery's full intentions, the airborne forces to be used, the series of airlifts and resupply to be carried out over three days, the precise location of the landing areas and drop fields, the targets of attack - even the flight routes.

Soon, according to the documents in hand, Model gave up his original assumption and affirmed one point: he was not the target of the airborne troops at all.

At the same time, a group of staff officers surrounded them. They stared at the map and marked the bridges mentioned in the document by the way.

It's just too precise.

So much so that after reading it, Model refused to believe it. He firmly believed that it was a bait deliberately cast by the enemy, and sneered: Do you think this document is reliable?

No one answered, because standing in front of everyone was Model, the savior of the Eastern Front hand-picked by the head of state, whose military talents had been proven in actual combat.

It is deliberately used by the enemy to confuse sight.

Assuming this document is authentic and the Arnhem Bridge is the ultimate goal, why didn't they drop the 1st Airborne Division on the bridge?

Confident in his words, Model walked to the map and analyzed to everyone: Here, they have come to a huge open area suitable for assembly. Not only that, but it is also 8 miles west of the bridge.

I think that the enemy's goal is the Ruhr area, and they will gather at least ten divisions in that open area, then turn north, take Bocholt and Münster, and finally move east and attack the mainland.

The inference is not unfounded, unfortunately, this document is indeed accurate, but Model overestimated the maker of the Market Garden Project, that guy is an out-and-out fool.

Sir, I have a hunch...

A lieutenant colonel broke the silence, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again.

Time will tell in Germany whether this document is authentic.

Model was always prepared for the worst, but that didn't mean he was dictatorial.

Well... since the headquarters has the information, there is no reason not to notify the armored division in the city and pass the file over.

In fact, no matter how Model views this document, it will not affect the battle situation, because there are two armored divisions stationed in the city of Arnhem——

Hohenstaufen division, Frundsberg division.

However, the group of paratroopers did not know this cruel fact. Under the leadership of Captain McKay, they walked through the streets and approached the bridge.

Since leaving the pontoon bridge ferry, Lu Li had become taciturn. Monk was a little worried, but the atmosphere was terribly dignified. He hesitated to speak many times, while the soldiers on the other vehicles also remained silent.

The silence was oppressive, and Captain McKay felt that the convoy was surrounded by enemies, hiding in the hedges, lying on top of the apartment buildings, moving slightly.

At this time, Lu Kai spoke abruptly, How much ammunition do you two have left, and the food can last for a few days?

Monk froze for a moment, then opened the marching backpack: Well... three pieces of Hershey chocolate, a can of cherries, two cans of biscuits, two bags of coffee...

This guy talks about food like a poem, and he doesn't seem to be stopping.

Let's talk about ammunition first!

Lu Li lowered his voice, but Henry, who was sitting in the back row, noticed that the officer was in a bad mood.

Two grenades, one smoke grenade, six magazines left for the Bren, four with twenty rounds and two with thirty rounds.

By the way, there are seven rounds left in the captured Luger.

Monk also realized that he didn't know the occasion when he was too talkative, so he quickly got to the point.

After he finished speaking, sniper Henry immediately reported: There are enough bullets and enough food to last until the end of the mission.

Concise and concise.

However, Lu Li keenly sensed something was wrong, and asked, The mission is over? Two days?

That's right.

Henry nodded, puzzled.

The task of the 1st Airborne Division is to stick to the bridge for two days. Even if there is an accident in the middle, he can persist until the fourth day by saving some food.

After being silent for a while, Lu Li slowed down the car and said, After the big troops catch up, follow me to the logistics officer to get the supplies.

Ever since he joined Lu Li's team, Sergeant Henry felt that he was an excellent leader and never made a mistake in his judgment, so he couldn't help asking, Sir, did you find anything?

Lu Li shook his head, Before you act, prepare for the worst, I'm used to it.

After the words fell, the atmosphere condensed again.

While the three were talking, the convoy was less than 100 meters away from the Arnhem Bridge.

With the blessing of werewolf blood, Lu Li saw a blockhouse at the north end of the bridge, while the south end was shrouded in thick water vapor.

It's mine, it's mine!

The ultimate goal was within reach, and a voice kept screaming in Captain McKay's heart.

The driver looked at the huge bridge in front of him, trembling in his heart, and reminded softly: Sir, do you need to stop and walk?

Because it seems to be abandoned, standing there alone, but as long as you think of its importance, you will feel fear.

Yes, you should walk.

Speed ​​up, notify the team in front, and let them hide the jeeps in residential areas.

This reminder brought McKay back to his senses, and he asked the driver to increase the speed immediately to convey the order to others.

However, the darkness was torn apart by artillery fire in the next moment, and the flames lit up the street clearly.

Lu Li, who had already been wary, turned the steering wheel ahead of time before the bunker showed its power, and rushed into a residential house. Monk and Henry, who were in the same car, felt dizzy for a while.
