Chapter 28 Positional Arrangement

boom--

There was a loud noise, the second jeep caught fire, and then the ammunition box tied to the back was ignited, and the air wave pushed the car behind it aside.

In this way, the sudden artillery fire caused a series of car accidents. Three other jeeps were affected due to their untimely steering and suffered heavy casualties.

"Fuck!" Monk, wearing a crash helmet, shook his head.

The moment the artillery fire came out of the bunker, he was really frightened. Fortunately, Lu Li reacted quickly and turned the steering wheel hard to avoid tragedy.

However, at this moment, Lu Li had no time to take care of other vehicles. He had to ensure that his team would not suffer any further attrition.

Otherwise, the following days will be extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, Lu Li climbed up from the steering wheel and asked in a low voice: "Sergeant Henry, how are you?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and touched his forehead. A few drops of blood stuck to his fingers.

Hearing this, Henry lowered his head and quickly checked his body. Except for feeling a little dizzy, he seemed to be fine, so he replied: "Sir, I'm fine."

After he finished speaking, two sets of eyes focused on Lu Li. They were waiting for orders.

"Get out of the car first. It's difficult for the three of us to capture that bunker. Let's wait for Captain McKay's arrangements." Lu Li paused, "If he dies, then wait for Company A and the battalion headquarters to arrive.

"

After all, the three of them had already rushed out of the road and didn't know what was happening on the other side.

In Lu Li's opinion, the best thing to do now is to stay put and if conditions permit, go out and investigate the situation.

"Understood, sir."

Henry nodded and picked up the sniper rifle.

Munch shook his head while opening the door. Unfortunately, the car body was deformed during the collision.

After a while, Monk began to hit the car door with his shoulder. He was probably furious and cursed: "Damn intelligence department, this operation is no different from sending someone to death!"

The sound of kicking on the door became louder and louder, as did the shouting and cursing.

"Is it just to serve as a target for the Germans by flying to an area a thousand kilometers away?"

"Those idiots who made the plan should be hung up and shot!"

"I second the motion." Henry was obviously dissatisfied with the senior management, because from the moment he boarded the plane, nothing happened as planned.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet. You are disturbing the head of the household's rest."

Lu Li climbed out along the broken glass window and came back to look at the surrounding environment.

This is an apartment with a garden, white walls and red paint, and a very beautiful environment.

At the same time, a woman walked out of the bedroom wearing pajamas. She was standing in the hall, looking through the glass window.

"Who speaks Dutch?"

Lu Li turned to look at the two people behind him.

Seeing this, Henry and Munch shook their heads.

"Okay, let's park the car here and leave, so as not to cause trouble to this family."

In fact, the lady had no intention of getting involved in the dispute. She observed it in the foyer for a while, then turned and returned to the inner room.

When Lu Li and his party were in a stalemate, Captain McKay was leading the survivors and running towards the buildings in front of the road with equipment. They marched at full speed regardless of the artillery fire from the bunker.

Within a few minutes, more than half of it was damaged.

Fortunately, after the reconnaissance team was out of sight, the Germans stopped shelling and calm returned to the north bank of the bridge.

However, those paratroopers who have narrowly escaped death know that it is extremely dangerous.

Shortly after eight o'clock in the evening, Company A and Lieutenant Colonel Frost's battalion headquarters arrived.

As for Company B, under the leadership of Major Crowley, they took some anti-tank guns to the nearby high ground to protect the left flank of the position.

The instructions given to Company C were to search for the advance troops, and then work together to clear out the German soldiers in the city, trying to capture the German City Defense Headquarters.

At this time, Lu Li and the other three who heard the commotion pushed through the bushes and happened to look into the eyes of a soldier.

"Are you deserting?"

"not at all."

Henry climbed down the tree trunk, followed by Munch, and finally Lu Li.

Now that the situation is stable, they need to find Captain McKay or Lieutenant Colonel Frost.

When passing by the soldier, Monk leaned over and reminded: "Recruit, be careful on the north bank of the bridge."

A few minutes later, Lu Li and others bumped into a platoon from C Company, who were looking for them.

"Sergeant, where is Captain McKay?"

After saying that, the lieutenant named Frasto was stunned for a while before he realized: "Are there only three of you left?"

"I don't know. During the march, the enemy's bunker set up on the north bank of the bridge suddenly opened fire, and the reconnaissance team was dispersed."

Lu Li suddenly realized that the soldiers who were hanging out with him would end up not very good——

Only Francis Monk was left alive in last night's squad, and the current investigation team is probably in trouble.

"Okay, now you come with me for the time being." The lieutenant pointed to a row of houses in front and said: "The platoons of Company A are about to go onto the bridge, so we have to find a way to shut down that bunker."

"Is there a map?"

Hearing this, Lu Li took out the map box from his backpack and handed it over, continuing to listen to his tactical arrangements.

"We are now on the north slope. There are four houses on the east side. One of them is a school. It is located at the corner of the intersection."

The school was almost directly opposite the bridge, and Lu Li believed that occupying it would mean gaining control of half of the Arnhem Bridge.

Therefore, he added: "This place is very important and must be guarded."

"That's right."

The lieutenant agreed and continued: "However, the most important thing now is to blow up the bunker. I need the three of you to cross the road and set up heavy firearms on the roof of the school."

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Lu Li in unison. He had a PIAT on his shoulders. It was difficult not to notice.

"There is one shell left and I need supplies, including food and medicine."

Lu Li was lacking a suitable reason to ask for supplies, but someone came to deliver them specially.

In fact, before setting off, the reconnaissance team received a lot of supplies from Major Gough, but with the successive battles, many things were damaged during the battle.

Especially after everyone dispersed, Lu Li's side was extremely short of ammunition. Monk had hid some extra food, and all the medicines were left with the medical soldiers.

After all, plans cannot keep up with changes.

The lieutenant was in a bit of a dilemma. He also had tasks to perform, so he didn't carry too many extra supplies with him.

After a long silence, the urging voice of the battalion messenger came from behind, and Lieutenant Frasto gave up his hesitation and replied: "I will give you two armor-piercing bullets at most, but you can add a flamethrower."

"In addition, there are three rolls of field bandages, two bottles of sulfonamide tablets, and a double dose of morphine."

"Don't worry. When the airdropped supplies arrive tomorrow, I will send someone to deliver them to you."

In fact, the lieutenant failed to realize that he was actually trying to spread the pie, and Lu Li had no hope for aircraft support.
