At about 2:50 in the afternoon, the legendary Arnhem Bridge finally appeared in front of Hu Biao and others.
Although a group of people from the Zhongzhou Team have been talking about this bridge many times.
But in fact, this was the first time that everyone saw this bridge that made the British paratroopers hate it and have missed it for a long time.
What should I say? It feels a bit regretful.
Perhaps in the modern dimension, I have seen too many reasons why a series of various bridges were built in the country, which is called a "construction maniac".
The Arnhem Bridge in front of me is made of steel as its main structure, its length is estimated to be only five or six hundred meters, and its width barely reaches two-way four-lane.
After he fell into the eyes, and sincerely made Hu Biao and others see him, he felt a little bit less famous than meeting him.
Of course, is this broken bridge spectacular? Small things like this are actually not important at all.
The important thing is that in the follow-up time, this bridge must be controlled by oneself, and one must hold on for at least 4 days, waiting for the arrival of the 1st Parachute Brigade of Poland.
When we are about 500 meters away from the bridge...
Hu Biao, holding a telescope, could find that there was only a machine gun position composed of about 10 German soldiers at the northern end of the bridge.
It is estimated that after hearing some noise, this German fighting squad is now entering the position to prepare for battle.
Just such a small amount of defense force could not stop D Company's attack at all; presumably the 10th SS Panzer Division did not have time to arrive here and build fortifications.
Suddenly, Hu Biao took the walkie-talkie next to his seat and shouted a battle order:
“Immediately launched an attack on the bridgehead target, and after laying down the northern end of the bridgehead position, all personnel riding bicycles and motorcycles built fortifications on the spot for defense until the British troops arrived.
The remaining personnel will continue to fight across the bridge with me until the southern end of the bridgehead is completely secured."
It should be noted that Hu Biao's walkie-talkie was only used to notify the first two armored vehicles, because the personnel inside could not hear his shouts.
For others, Hu Biao's loud voice is enough.
Just like that, under Hu Biao's voice, the soldiers who were holding on to the railings of the car with their hands all let go of their arms and pedaled hard to get up.
The people in the crowded car also raised their weapons one after another.
Prepare to get closer and then call out the weapon in your hand.
The problem is that when the first two armored vehicles, Yuan Sin and Bai Xiang, grasped the handles of the two ZB60 heavy machine guns, no one else had anything to do in the battle.
At least at the north end of the bridge, no one else has anything to do.
Even with a distance of at least 500 meters, the dozen German soldiers on the bridgehead machine gun position were still within the power of the ZB60 heavy machine gun, the main heavy machine gun of the SS.
Under the control of the strong arms of the two men, the recoil of firing this thing was not worth mentioning at all, and it became as docile as a little sheep.
With an almost negligible and uncalculated muzzle beat, a dense barrage of 15mm bullets enveloped the machine gun position.
Immediately, the primary and secondary shooters of the MG42 general machine gun were directly shot.
That's right! It explodes directly.
In the lens of Hu Biao's telescope, the main shooter of the MG42 pulled the trigger, and a bullet landed just below his neck.
Then, a huge ball of blood burst out.
When the unlucky main shooter fell, his neck and head were nowhere to be seen. This shows that this 15mm heavy machine gun is extremely powerful.
Seeing this, the remaining German soldiers stopped even fighting back, and lay down behind the sandbags that formed the position.
But even so, they still did not survive.
Because when Hu Biao and others rushed over, the German soldiers in that position no longer fought back.
When he got into the jeep and followed the armored vehicle onto the Arnhem Bridge, Hu Biao glanced over.
The German soldiers hiding behind the sandbags were found to have been completely killed by the bullets that penetrated the sandbags.
To be more precise, it's almost a pile of rotten meat right now...
******
Whether it was luck or misfortune, Hu Biao and his party finally encountered relatively strong resistance from the German soldiers at the southern end of the bridge.

Because here at the southern end, there is a small German army camp.
Fortunately, so far, only about one company is stationed here.
After hearing the gunshots at the north end of the bridge, some of them had time to rush out of the military camp, rushed towards the position and began to set up defenses.
"All the people on the car get off the car quickly and kill them." Hu Biao issued a new order from his mouth.
For them, no matter how many people are blocking their way now, they cannot stop their determination to conquer this place.
Immediately under Hu Biao's order, D Company and the others had worked hard for more than two months in England and played a huge role at this moment.
Although in today's D Company, the more than 90 recruits are on the battlefield for the first time.
However, under the leadership of veterans of the Zhongzhou team, as well as veterans such as Jack, combat groups were formed. Under the 81 mm mortar fire of Bianrou and others, and the heavy machine gun fire of Bai Xiang and others,
.
The battle was fought very methodically, and it felt like a smooth battle.
Fighting, fighting, the morale of these rookies also improved, and their tactical actions became bolder.
In the end, it took about 13 minutes. At the cost of killing 3 recruits and seriously injuring 2 others, D Company left more than 30 German soldiers in the position. They surrendered when they saw that they could not win.
arms.
But facing such a victory, Hu Biao couldn't even feel the slightest excitement in his heart.
Just kidding! What’s so exciting about such a small scene, because the most difficult period has just begun.
Hu Biao, who was holding the M1918A2 light machine gun with the barrel hot on his shoulders, urged loudly in his mouth while patrolling the battlefield:
"Clean the battlefield faster, and then everyone takes action to strengthen the fortifications immediately. The fortifications of these German soldiers are not strong enough.
If you can't even defend yourself against the shelling of a 150mm howitzer, aren't you looking for death in a fight?"
Under such an order, Deputy Company Commander Yang Dongli suddenly came over and asked solemnly: "Old Hu, are there any tunnels to be dug here?"
Although what Lao Yang said was a bit unclear, Hu Biao could still understand his thoughts.
It's just a person with a delicate mind like Lao Yang who thought of all the mission worlds and seemed to be vaguely connected.
This creates a hidden danger;
At that time, the tunnel tactics of the Volunteer Army may not have been used on a small scale in China because they would not be familiar to the soldiers in advance.
But if it is used here, the soldiers will be familiar with the relevant points.
So that they can be prepared for future wars. Wouldn't they be sinners?
Therefore, after Hu Biao figured out the above, he even knew that digging a tunnel would be of great help to their mission.
But after hesitating for a while, Hu Biao still said firmly to Lao Yang: "No need."
After hearing this, Yang Dongli sighed and nodded his head solemnly...
