Chapter 587 Switch Defense
Because during the process of strengthening the fortifications yesterday, everyone in the D Company calculated that they had torn themselves to the point of being in a mess.
Finally, they were in the middle of the night, because they were so tired that everyone went to bed without even washing their faces.
This caused a whole day today, and the Deshang side could not find the complexion of Hu Biao and others during the battle.
Therefore, when we discovered that the commander in the opposite army position was actually a Chinese; and the grassroots officers were basically all Chinese.
The young German stick who was brought to Hu Biao immediately seemed to think of something, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a s
There was shock, sudden realization, ease, etc., which was so rich.
It should be until now that he inferred that this large army was actually the legendary Chinese army based on the appearance of this group of Chinese.
You know! After that battle, the 17th Armored Division of the Squad Guard became a joke inside the German stick, and this mysterious Chinese soldiers became a legend.
Based on the above reasons, the crushing defeats they suffered during the day are somewhat understandable.
After a while, the lieutenant had sorted out his mood, used quite standard English, and had a better attitude than before...
He said to Hu Biao: "Dear Mr. Lieutenant, good afternoon.
Now, based on humanitarian considerations, we request a truce of 22 hours; the request can allow us to take away the bodies of our soldiers and wounded soldiers in these two hours.
During this period, we guarantee that we will not launch any attacks on you; and that those who clean the battlefield will not carry any weapons."
There was almost no hesitation, and Hu Biao agreed to such a request.
Because the Despoon is not a Japanese, it is insignificant to him to die a few more and a few less. On the contrary, during the two-hour buffer period, wouldn’t it be nice to take the time to do something else?
You know, they have not eaten yet.
Take the time to eat something, and you can still take the time to strengthen the fortifications.
Based on the above considerations, Hu Biao made a small request: "A 2-hour truce can be done, and your personnel can also take away the bodies and wounded people of our side, as well as their personal belongings.
But weapons, ammunition and food must be left behind for us.”
"Okay, Mr. Lieutenant, you are a respectable gentleman." After hearing this, the lieutenant expressed this to Hu Biao.
In this way, on the battlefield, the Easterners such as Hu Biao were not used to it, but the soldiers and the German sticks felt that it was very normal:
The people who did not carry weapons on both sides were very harmoniously busy in front of the position.
The German sticks carried the bodies and wounded people of the dead on their battle back to their positions one by one, leaving weapons, ammunition, and food without discounting them at all.
The soldiers brought these equipment and food back to the position one by one.
During this period, they even started chatting with their fingers when they were different in languages and exchanged cigarettes with each other. The German sticks seemed to have a good impression of Dabing's camel brand cigarettes.
What a weird harmony! That scene...
In fact, because the process of cleaning the battlefield was extremely smooth, the two-hour armistice time was not used up.
It only took about an hour and a half, and when the weather gradually darkened, the battlefield was completely cleaned.
But the Despoon side is quite trustworthy. It is said that two hours is just two hours, and there is no intention to launch an attack immediately.
Even because of the sky, there was no intention to continue fighting at night.
It seems that the day on the 18th has passed.
At that time, Hu Biao had already used several seized canned pig heads, compressed biscuits and other products, and solved the problem of supper and lunch.
Just wondering if we should arrange for personnel to shoot black guns at night and let the other party have a bad rest.
Suddenly, I was extremely surprised to see several figures wearing British paratroopers uniforms, leaning down and secretly running over from the Arnhem Bridge.
Seeing this, Hu Biao quickly greeted several people beside him who were squatting in the trenches and greeted him.
When he got closer, Hu Biao discovered that the person who led the team was actually a British captain.
After seeing Hu Biao, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Lieutenant Hu, thank you for your persistence today; after fighting for a day, you must have worked hard, and there are also great casualties, right?
So why not just change the defense and let us take over your position defense mission."
After hearing this extremely unexpected statement, Hu Biao almost thought that something was wrong with his ears.
Could it be that among the Allies full of intrigue, there are actually kind people? Or, these Johns who are not worth their lives are now changing?
It was not until the British captain repeated the above words again that Hu Biao believed that he had heard it correctly.
Of course, I agreed to such a good thing.
Even if he really can't figure it out, such good things will fall on him; but no matter how much he is, it is a great thing to be able to fish for an extra hour in such a long persistence task.
As for the requirements for system tasks, Hu Biao thought that no matter what, these paratroopers were also elites of the British army, and they would not lose their positions soon.
After a day or two, when they couldn't stand it, D's company just came up again.
With this idea, Hu Biao happily agreed to the other party's proposal to change defense; in order not to cause any trouble, both parties agreed to proceed secretly.
In order to avoid the Despoon on the opposite side discovering and causing any trouble.
So, under the cover of night, when the British army of about 300 people secretly moved from the other end of the bridge and entered the position.
The remaining hundreds of people from Hu Biao and his group also slipped away happily.
Because they were too eager to leave, they didn't even care about the flying star and striped flags on their positions.
*******
It was night, and the remaining members of the D Company, who had no combat missions, slept happily in a residential area at the north end of the bridge.
Even during this period, there were constant waves of fierce gunfire sounds from the positions at the southern end of the bridge, and they didn't care.
But after arranging the necessary alert personnel, the Zhongzhou team fell asleep. What I didn't know was.
On the one hand, the British army's defense change was not what they said, but after seeing the soldiers' D company fighting for a day, there were heavy casualties and hard work.
They have a reason to do this.
Mainly because there was heavy fog today, the original follow-up airborne operation was not progressing smoothly. Only a small amount of troops and materials successfully landed at the previous landing site.
At the same time, the German stick armored troops who were mobilized had already begun a fierce attack on the airborne field.
The 2nd British Airborne Brigade, which was standing near the airborne field, had difficulty resisting without any heavy firepower; by the evening, they had already considered giving up this airborne field.
The new airborne field was chosen to be a village called Deer at the south end of the bridge.
In this way, control of the Arnhem Bridge became very important; because the D Company, which was worried about the continuous reduction of personnel, could not last long, so the British army would have the approach of changing defenses.
So, these gentlemen just have no choice.
On the other hand, the British paratroopers who changed their defenses because they were worried that Company D could not defend their positions and were in trouble.
At around 11:15 that night, a unit of the 9th Armored Division of the SS Guard, including a tank company, moved to the south end of the Arnhem Bridge.
There was almost no renovation and an attack was immediately launched on the southern position.
Even with the complete fortifications left by Company D, the paratroopers still resisted the difficulties, because there were not only tanks in the attack on the German army overnight, but also the German stick team with eleven remaining people was also included.
That is, the troops on the north side of the bridge supported the past in time when they saw something was wrong.
Otherwise, the position here would have been lost that night.
However, after several fierce battles in one night, most of the British paratroopers who changed defense and subsequently rushed to the rescue were less than one hundred people left.
So, Hu Biao, who woke up the next day, died without even brushing his teeth, received another new order that made him laugh and cry:
Change defense and return to the position at the south end of the bridge.
Chapter completed!
