A Weird Theater That Started In London

A group of three arrived at the destination.

Lu Li looked around, and soon found a sentry post set up by Captain McKay.

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

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

Immediately afterwards, Captain McKay poked his head out, and after confirming that the news was correct, his expression finally eased.

Because the enemy's bunker on the north bank of the bridge was a headache for him, and with Lu Li's return, everything would be solved easily.

Is it Captain Mackay? Monk followed Lu Li's line of sight to look up, and shouted uncertainly.

Sir! Henry had better eyesight, and quickly gave a military salute.

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

Dude, what's wrong with you? Lu Li stared at the piece of gauze oozing scarlet, and instantly thought of the shelling not long ago.

Obviously, the reconnaissance team is very short of medical supplies. Even if the non-commissioned officer is injured, he can't get a single dose of morphine.

It's okay, it was hit by shrapnel, and the medical staff just helped to take it out. Miller put his right hand on Lu Li's shoulder, and led them towards the school.

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

God, I thought I'd never see you three again! The soldier guarding the door looked exaggerated, and his words were full of excitement.

In fact, it is very difficult to hold the school with only nine people, and now the return of Lu Li and the three of them is undoubtedly good news, so that Captain McKay came down to greet him in person: Sergeant, you are the best non-commissioned officer I have ever seen. People are looking forward to your return, it's great, great!

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and Monk and Henry standing beside him were speechless for a while.

Sir, please calm down first.

I have good news for everyone. The battalion headquarters has arrived, just across the road.

Although Lu Li felt that the Second Battalion was about to face a catastrophe, he was really happy to be able to reunite with someone he knew by accident:

In fact, he couldn't tell whether this was a drama or reality, because everyone in front of him had his own thoughts, personalities, and was unique.

Has the battalion headquarters arrived? Captain McKay nodded his head pretending to be reserved, and then said again: The battalion headquarters has arrived!

The battalion has nearly a thousand troops, and with the reinforcements on the other two roads, even if there is any accident, they can stick to it for two days.

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

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

After all, the truth is too cruel, it is better to know less and remain optimistic.

After the captain calmed down, Lu Li spread out the map and continued, Sir, this is Lieutenant Colonel Frost's arrangement for the location.

Hearing this, everyone restrained their smiles one after another, pretending to be listening carefully.

Lieutenant Colonel Frost took the north end of the bridge as his position and requisitioned eighteen houses in total.

They form a circular line of defense. The battalion headquarters is located on the west side of the north slope, and our task is to stick to the east side of the north slope, centering on this school, and controlling the surrounding four houses.

A few minutes later, Lu Li put the map into the box and added, However, the most urgent task is to take down that bridgehead and remove the obstacles for Company A that is about to go on the bridge.

That's right.

Captain McKay thought so deeply. He turned his head and said to the soldiers gathered in the hall: Okay, brothers, now that we've heard the good news, let's all get out of the way and go perform our duties!

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

I wish you good luck. Miller, who had just finished suturing the wound, leaned against the wall and pulled down his hat to cover his face, I have not rested all day and night, unless the enemy invades the school, otherwise, 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 blood-oozing bandage on Miller's arm, he stopped thinking instantly.

Meanwhile, Captain MacKay rubbed his face, turned, and headed for the stairs.

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

Not long after, Lu Li, carrying a heavy weapon, came to the top floor of the school.

If it is daytime, standing here overlooking the surroundings, you can see rows of well-planned buildings: the courthouse, the provincial government building, the national archives, the post office, and the St. Eusebius Church, which is marked by a 305-foot-high spire And proud of the city.

Frankly speaking, Lu Li didn't like churches, because every time he encountered them, he was always very unlucky.

Boss, what are you looking at?

Monk put the Bren light machine gun on the bracket and returned to the team, which gave him a sense of security, and he talked more.

That church feels ominous to me.

After finishing speaking, Lu Li turned to look at the Arnhem Bridge in front, and Henry, the sharpshooter, also turned his gaze away, and whispered, It's too high, once the German snipers sneak in, half of the position will be exposed to their vision. .”

Don't worry, wait until dawn and then forget about it. The eyes of Germans can't see through the darkness, can they?

Monk wasn't too worried about the snipers, at least not in the dim light.

Don't treat the enemy as a fool, they are often beyond our imagination!

Captain McKay's personality is unpredictable. When he came to the rooftop, he seemed to be a different person, with a serious face.

Yes, sir. Monk nodded, then silently fiddled with the machine gun in his hand.

In fact, this guy only behaved more casually when he was talking to Lu Li. He never dared to smile when he met other officers.

However, now that the situation is urgent, no one pays attention to a private first class. Lu Li lay on the ground and said in a low voice, When Company A launches an attack, it will launch flares into the sky, and then 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 slope will also provide fire support.

McKay nodded, then picked up a rifle, knelt down and replied: The dangerous bunker will be handed over to you. I think Lieutenant Colonel Frost will meet you tomorrow morning at the latest.

In the eyes of the captain, Lu Li is a high-end PIAT player. With his outstanding record, he should be awarded a Victoria Cross after the battle.

For the future, McKay always had a strong determination: We have been doing well, casualties are relatively light, as long as we keep going, we can win.

Lu Li didn't know what the officer was thinking. At this moment, he looked through the darkness and locked on the target directly. With two fingers firmly on the trigger, he just waited for the flare to lift into the air.

However, on the south bank of the bridge, an elite German armored force has also entered its position.

Fate made a joke with Lu Li.

Sergeant Johannes van Kueck was a member of the resistance organization, and he and his colleagues often cooperated with the Germans to guard the Arnhem Bridge.

Just an hour earlier, around seven-thirty in the evening, the bridge garrison, composed of twenty-five veterans, had deserted because, having experienced the D-Day landings, they were afraid of the Allied paratroopers.

However, under the command of Model, an armored force rushed to the south bank of the bridge, and the master of defensive warfare was talking to the commander on the phone.

It is possible that the enemy will seize the Arnhem Bridge, although I doubt it, but if it does happen, you must hold it at all costs!

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

Because we need it when we counterattack.

Immediately afterwards, the phone was hung up.

The two sides began to wait for the flares to be lifted into the air, or, the bridgehead on the north bank to open fire.

A little past nine in the evening.

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

The next moment, the Germans came alive.

The continuous artillery fire and machine gun bullets declared that this attempt ended in failure.

Almost at the same time, the armored troops guarding the southern end began to take action. A tank destroyer drove up the bridge, regardless of the ammunition.

Hell seemed to open up.

The surrounding area was lit with flames, there was a din of machine gun fire, and there was one explosion after another.

Sergeant, the bridgehead is handed over to you.

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

No one answered him.

Lu Li silently pressed the trigger, and an armor-piercing projectile rushed straight towards the fortress, and then thumped.

The shell contained enough TNT to penetrate 4 inches of tempered armor plate, and it was definitely a sharp weapon for dealing with concrete buildings.

Lieutenant Colonel Frost was standing on the balcony of the apartment, looking at the bridge and thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. The bridgehead that harvested life was wrapped in flames, and the sound of ammunition exploding could be heard endlessly.

The soldiers who were retreating were stunned, and screams of pain came from the bunker. Then, a group of Germans staggered and crawled outside, rolling into the undercurrent of the Rhine, splashing waves of water.

With a roar, the savage battle was over, so fast that neither commander could have predicted it.

At this moment, the three people lying on the top floor of the school were staring at Lu Li. Even though this was not the first time Lu Li performed a miracle, it was still shocking.

The shooter Henry, who thought he had accurate eyesight, was the first to react, and couldn't help but ask, Sir, have you transplanted the eagle's eyes?

Don't think about it, it's just God's blessing. This guy Monk knows that I've always been lucky. Lu Li calmly put away the bracket, as if he had done an insignificant thing.

For a moment, Monk, who was named, didn't know what to say. He silently took out a sports brand cigarette, lit it, and handed it over.

Boy, I think Major Dover from A Company should come over and buy you a few drinks.

Captain Mackay didn't know what to say, so he simply made a joke.

But he hit the nail on the head.

Not only Major Dover, but even Lieutenant Colonel Frost, the battalion commander, was asking who was in charge of the nearby positions.
