As the sky turned dark, Lu Li and his group sped up, hoping to reach their next destination in time——
The pontoon ferry is located approximately 1 mile west of the Arnhem Bridge.
For Lu Li, it was extremely important. Once he failed to win it, it meant that he would be swept away by the torrent of history: In the original time and space, the 1st Airborne Division was surrounded by people and lacked food and medicine. Enter the city and fight on the streets.
Monk sat in the passenger seat, holding the machine gun, and wanted to sleep for a while, but he was afraid that he would suddenly be attacked by the enemy and never have a chance to wake up.
Therefore, he could only talk to relieve this negative emotion: "Why is there no street light in this damn place?"
Arnhem, the capital of the province of Gelderland, has beautiful scenery and is equipped with train stations, schools, holiday estates and other buildings. Because of this, many people treat the action as a vacation trip before airborne.
Now, they had entered the outer city, but Munch found that all the street lights in this place were not working.
"It's okay, I can see it."
The car driven by Lu Li always led the way and never deviated from the direction, as if he could see at night.
In fact, werewolf blood can indeed enhance night vision, and over time, even if the host does not activate the two forms, the physical fitness will be significantly improved.
For example, when Lu Li was airborne last night, he almost hit the church steeple due to visual problems. But now, he can clearly see things beyond the range of ordinary people's sight.
"There is a high ground ahead, please be alert."
No need to remind everyone, everyone felt that the jeep was going uphill, and the high ground was a good place to set up an ambush. The enemy only needed to send a dozen soldiers, set up machine guns, and put in a few mortars. It would be another fierce battle.
Therefore, Monk, a machine gunner, stood up and loaded the Bren light machine gun with a 30-round magazine. Several other vehicles also took action.
The engineers under Captain McKay left the vehicle and walked along the hedge beside the road. Sergeant Miller picked up the anti-tank rocket launcher, waiting for flames to burst out in front.
In this way, the convoy moved forward for about fifty meters, when Lu Li suddenly stepped on the brakes.
Under the cover of the trees, several gun barrels shimmered, and an armored vehicle could even be vaguely seen.
"Fire flares."
After giving the order, Henry, who was sitting in the back row, without hesitation, directly installed the grenade launcher on the rifle, took out the illumination bomb, and fired a shot into the sky.
At this moment, the German commander was still hesitating whether to bring the enemy closer before attacking, when he heard a gunshot, and then the sky lit up.
"Fire!"
Two orders sounded at the same time.
The sound of tearing cloth once again echoed in the ears of the members of the investigation team.
Lu Li quickly changed direction and drove the car into the jungle on the left side of the road. He didn't want the jeep to be beaten into scrap by the enemy again and then march on foot.
The drivers of several other vehicles followed suit, and only the machine gunner and Miller carrying a rocket launcher fought back.
The Sd.KFZ.13 armored reconnaissance vehicle only has armor protection on the sides and top. The armor thickness is 8 mm and the protection capability is not strong. It is equipped with an MG42 universal machine gun with a small protective shield. It is a classic car and an auxiliary tool.
Theoretically, as long as the PIAT shooter aims accurately, one shell can blow it over, or even make the MG42 completely misfire.
Unfortunately, it is too difficult for the rocket launcher to hit the target on a high-speed moving jeep.
The armor-piercing projectile loaded with TNT explosive deflected and exploded in the bushes nearby, killing two unlucky German infantrymen.
In the process of driving off the road, the tires were inevitably penetrated by bullets. Not only that, the casualties on the investigation team's side were even greater.
Correspondent Jerry, who was sitting directly behind Lu Li, was hit by several bullets. Blood stained the seat and splashed all over sniper Henry.
He deserved a painless death.
Because apart from the sound of shooting and engines, Lu Li didn't hear anyone wailing.
Soon, the road was empty, the vehicles were driving into the bushes, and the German positions ceased fire.
Captain McKay looked at the soldiers surrounding him and counted them silently. There were 19 people in total, and the other five members were all hit by the MG42 machine gun.
"The enemies in front are not many in number, but they possess heavy firearms." McKay was the highest-ranking person in the military. He took over the command without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "There are two plans now. One, wait for Company A behind. , join them and launch an attack together."
Lu Li nodded and did not express any opinion. To be honest, he didn't like this plan, but things would change later. The floating bridge was the key to reversing the situation and there was no room for error!
"Option two, launch a strong attack, use anti-tank weapons to kill the armored vehicle, and then send infantry to go around and engage in close combat with that team."
After saying that, Captain McKay turned his attention to Lu Li, because he had commanded a battle before and won a great victory.
"Sir, I think speed means victory in this operation."
"After losing the railway bridge, there are only two targets left. If we lose the pontoon bridge again, we will have no choice but to storm the Arnhem Bridge."
Lu Li spoke methodically, and added in his mind: In that case, in the next nine days, the Second Battalion will lack support and supplies, and its living space will be continuously squeezed by the armored forces until it dies or is captured.
"In that case, prepare to fight."
Captain McKay was very decisive, because he had a clear judgment on the situation, and said to Lu Li: "Next, you will deal with the armored vehicle, just like you did in the afternoon."
The team lacked shooters who could use PLAT, and Lu Li's performance in taking out the enemy's machine gun positions a few hours ago showed that he seemed to be proficient in this skill.
Hearing this, Lu Li nodded.
And McKay continued to issue instructions: "Sergeant Miller, I will give you two combat teams, find a way to get close to that position and deal with them quickly."
"The rest provide covering fire."
After speaking, he made an offensive gesture to everyone, and the soldiers dispersed in an orderly manner.
At this time, Lu Li, who came to an open area, lowered his head and glanced at his watch: 7:11 pm.
Captain McKay, who was holding a machine gun, came over, patted him on the shoulder, and warned: "After the flare takes off, you must quickly find the location of the armored vehicle. The life of the offensive team depends on the efficiency of your mission." "
Lu Li picked up the rocket launcher and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry!"
In fact, he had already locked the approximate location of the armored vehicle, but he didn't pull the trigger just to avoid appearing too shocking.
"good."
"Fire flares!"
As soon as the words fell, a soldier fired a shot into the sky, exposing all enemy and friendly positions.
