Chapter 583 Get Out Of The Way (For Nightmare Twelve 1/2)
So what! Regarding the core of the specific action plan of the Central Continent team in the third phase of the mission, in fact, if it can be summed up simply, it can be summed up in one sentence:
Seize both ends of the Arnhem Bridge and hold on as long as possible.
That was because Hu Biao and others, based on the information of later generations, knew that there were two key reasons why they suffered a huge defeat in such an airborne operation.
On the one hand, the British 30th Army, which was the main force in the battle, simply could not defeat it.
The best result was reached 16 kilometers away from the Arnhem Bridge, and then was unable to advance even under the strong resistance of the German stick.
I had to retreat with regret and swallowed the bitter fruit of failure.
On the other hand, the British 1st Airborne Division, which held the northern end of the Arnhem Bridge, did not receive any decent reinforcements during the nine days it held its position.
If you can get serious support, it will definitely not be so difficult.
In the above two aspects, the former involves a no-frills collision between large armies. The Zhongzhou team has just enough manpower to fill in, and there is no way to participate in it.
But in the latter case, Zhongzhou Team’s self-questioning can still play a role.
Because throughout the entire operation, the 1st British Parachute Division only occupied the northern end of the bridge, and never occupied the southern end; but as long as it occupied the southern end and obtained the right of way of the Arnhem Bridge, everything would be different...
Not to mention anything else, reinforcements from the Polish 1st Parachute Brigade will arrive in just four days.
Unfortunately, due to changes in the airfield, thousands of troops from the 1st Polish Parachute Brigade had to land at the southern end of the Arnhem Bridge.
They were directly separated from the British 1st Airborne Division, which they needed to support, by a wide Rhine River.
It didn't play much of a supporting role at all.
Throughout the battle, they paid a huge price and used various methods to try to cross the river, such as setting up pontoon bridges, crossing the river in assault boats, armed swimming, etc.
In the end, they suffered defeat one by one.
In the end, after the Polish 1st Parachute Brigade suffered huge casualties, only about 200 people successfully supported the mission in several batches.
Such a small number of people has no practical effect at all.
Based on the above situation, a group of cobblers in the Central Continent Team, after some controversial research.
A consensus has been reached: it is believed that the key to the completion of the third phase of the Central Continent team's mission lies in the ability to control the entire bridge so that reinforcements and supplies can arrive successfully.
As long as the support of the 1st Brigade of Polish Paratroopers is in place, it will definitely last longer than before; by the way, let them complete the third phase of the mission of the Central Continent Team.
Of course, all the above plans are based on what has already happened.
The system's big rip-off will definitely not allow the Central Continent team to complete the mission easily. During the mission, there will definitely be some other troubles.
However, this does not prevent the Central Continent team from using their fastest marching speed to knock down the Arnhem Bridge before the German soldiers can react.
As a result, all the previous situations occurred.
That's right! The opponents that the Zhongzhou Team faces this time are except for the German Stick Team, whose strength is unknown because they don't know how many people are left.
The main forces were the German 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions.
Oh, there are two more SS armored units. It can be said that the Central Continent Team completely fell into the SS's nest during this mission...
******
Amidst the flying dust, there was also the yelling of a certain unlucky guy riding a bicycle, who was almost knocked down in the bumps.
The small convoy composed of D Company sped down the dirt road.
Soon after, they left the paratroopers of the British 1st Airborne Division far behind, to the point where they could not be seen.
Chewing gum in his mouth, he stood in the back seat of a Willys Jeep.
Sergeant Jack, a veteran of D Company, held the handle of an M2 Browning heavy machine gun with both hands, ready to fire at suspicious targets at the roadside shop.
While looking at the co-pilot Hu Biao with some worry, he asked weakly:
"Boss, your tone of rejecting Colonel George just now is very awesome, but what if those British paratroopers come to trouble us in the future?"
Facing the worries of his men, Hu Biao held a Camel cigarette in his mouth that had not yet been lit.
The answer from his mouth was like the coaxing of an awesome person: "What are you afraid of? If something happens, Hu Biao will take care of you."
Then, seeing that Jack was still a little worried, he explained a few words in detail: "What are you afraid of? We are not under their direct command, but we are engaged in coordinated operations. If we want to cause trouble, we have to contact the Allied Forces Command."
OK.
Don’t worry! They’ll be in bigger trouble soon and won’t be in the mood to do this.”
This is indeed the case. No matter how angry the big white men in the Allied Forces Command were, they would never send military police to arrest them in the midst of a fierce battle.
By the time they wanted to do this afterwards, they would have long returned to the modern plane.
Besides, throughout the entire 'Operation Overlord' and the subsequent 'Market Garden', the internal coordination of the entire Allied Forces was a complete mess.
So many Guo Jia cooperated in the battle, and because of the relationship of interests, a lot of dirty things were involved.
It is still unknown whether the top brass on the G.I.B. side will be able to recover this small place for the British troops.
Based on the above understanding, Hu Biao positioned himself and D Company as a thorn in the side of the enemy; as long as it did not cause outrage and resentment, leading to the point where our own planes were sent to bomb, others could seek death at will.
It's like grabbing some equipment and supplies from friendly forces and not fighting with friendly forces. It's just a little KISS.
With this thought, Hu Biao suddenly found that the Willys Jeep underneath him was no longer so bumpy. After looking outside the car, he realized that the dirt road on the ground had been replaced by an asphalt road.
Farther away, a fairly large city, Arnhem, the second largest city in the Netherlands, appeared.
In other words, this time’s target, the Arnhem Bridge, shouldn’t be too far away.
Although I don't know why it went so smoothly, the convoy actually didn't encounter any German troops on the way here, but it doesn't matter what they are, as long as they arrive at the bridge smoothly and seize the bridge.
After realizing this, Hu Biao shouted excitedly: "Go at full speed, dog, dog, dog..."
Five minutes later, when Hu Biao looked at the blocked road, he couldn't help but frown with a big word "Chuan" on his brow, feeling as depressed as if he had stepped on dog poop.
A few minutes ago, he was thankful that everything went smoothly.
As a result, as soon as they arrived in the urban area of Arnhem, the road ahead of the convoy was completely blocked, which was a severe slap in the face.
What makes people even more speechless is that the people blocking their path are not the German stick troops between the two who must fight to the death, but the Dutch citizens of Arnhem City.
After seeing the armored vehicle at the head of the convoy and the Stars and Stripes fluttering in the wind, it seemed that the whole city was boiling in an instant.
Good guys! Countless people were jumping, laughing, waving their arms, and moved closer to the motorcade.
At the same time, they also sent a lot of flowers, waffles with honey, cheese, licorice candy, pancakes, and passionate kisses and hugs from Dutch girls, all in a flood.
Good guy! If you bite people when you see them, you are very cruel.
No, Lang Qing, who was helping Hu Biao drive, subconsciously honked the horn.
I wanted to ask the blond Dutch girl in front of the car to give in a little bit, but the blond girl jumped up and hugged this guy's head.
Then there was a passionate kiss that lasted for a while.
At that time, Hu Biao clearly saw that the veins in the young man's right hand holding the gear lever were bursting out; his tongue was probably knotted now.
Of course, after being occupied by German sticks for more than 4 years.
Hu Biao could completely understand the excitement of the people of the Netherlands when they suddenly gained access to food. The question is how much time will be wasted if this continues.
So, Hu Biao bit the bullet and pushed away a blond woman with many freckles near the bridge of her nose, pouting her lips and preparing to welcome her enthusiastically.
He picked up the M1918A2 light machine gun at hand and fired bullets high into the air.
Suddenly, the air in the entire street froze; in such an environment, Hu Biao shouted at the top of his lungs: "You fucking give way, we have an urgent combat mission~"
In the end, even so, the deadly silence did not get any relief.
The Dutch people, who seemed to be unable to turn their heads, were still staring with big eyes and small eyes, still very confused.
Upon seeing this, Hu Biao was filled with anger and anger. He stretched out two evil fingers and twisted the blond woman's erect hair with all his strength.
A handful.
Then, amid the woman's high-pitched scream, the crowd retreated like a tide.
