In the message sent by the Allied Command, the specific content includes the following two categories:
First, Hu Biao's military rank was promoted to major, and the military ranks of other Zhongzhou team members were also promoted.
At the same time, Uncle Sam's famous Red Division will have a new infantry regiment with D Company as the backbone. The prefix of this infantry regiment is 'Dragon Shield Infantry Regiment'.
The first regimental commander will be Major Hu Biao.
Of course, having a major as the regiment commander is a bit low in terms of military rank; but this time the merits of holding on to the Arnhem Bridge position are not forgotten.
No matter what happened afterwards, Hu Biao could become a lieutenant colonel; he might even be promoted again and become a colonel.
The premise is that Hu Biao and the men of D Company can survive.
The second point is that all members of the Central Continent team, that is, all members of the original Chinese 3rd Platoon, will all receive Uncle Sam’s highest honor: the Medal of Honor...
If the above are added up, it can be regarded as repaying all the things they owed the Zhongzhou team at once.
If these contents were mentioned, they were still within Hu Biao's expectations.
Then the British army just wanted to give out the Victoria Cross to everyone in the Central Continent team; the Gallic family planned to issue the Legion of Honor, the Polish army planned to issue the Renaissance Medal, and the Dutch Military Order of William.
These unexpected things were completely unexpected.
The only regret is that these are the highest-level medals in their country. After all, they are not the kind of goods that everyone has, so it takes a while to make them.
Therefore, it seems that the Zhongzhou team cannot obtain it in this mission, but if we check the relevant lists in the future, we can probably still find it.
"What the heck! What's the point of having so many of these things? Can you still summon a divine dragon with seven of them?"
After finally folding the entire message and stuffing it into his pocket, Hu Biao couldn't help but complain. He didn't take this matter seriously...
A rather severe form of defense against the Arnhem Bridge.
As for the Allied Forces Command, in addition to the compensation for the Central Continent team, it is hoped that Hu Biao and others can continue to stand on the position and continue to hold on.
In fact, some considerable work and arrangements have been made in other places.
For example, the British 30th Army was urged to speed up its advance and advance to the Arnhem Bridge as soon as possible to join the paratroopers here.
It is a pity that the British 30th Army faced the fate of their own 1st Airborne Division being about to be completely annihilated by the Germans, so it cannot but be said that they did not try their best.
However, under the powerful resistance of German sticks, they pushed forward desperately and made only a handful of progress.
For this reason, the Allied Command had to quickly organize the troops of the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade, and the remaining 2,000 people took part in the airborne operation on the 21st.
Regarding the above situation, although the German intelligence department did not directly obtain relevant information.
However, one can easily deduce the intentions of the Allied forces just from the situation where the British 30th Army fought with their lives and some other details on the battlefield.
So on the next day, September 21st.
When the 61st and 314th Transportation Groups of the Army Air Force, a total of 114 C-47 transport aircraft, carrying more than 2,000 Polish airborne troops and related equipment set off, the German troops took action.
Part of the 10th SS Armored Division began preparations for anti-airborne combat.
The 9th Armored Division of the SS launched another attack on the positions at the north and south ends of the Arnhem Bridge.
According to the requirements of the system mission, in fact, at 10 o'clock tonight, it is already the last deadline for Hu Biao's defense mission.
In other words, they only had a dozen hours left to hold on.
But these ten hours have reached the most difficult moment for the Zhongzhou team, which is currently almost out of gas.
The problem faced a system task, which involved huge failure penalties. Hu Biao and the remaining members simply had no choice.
In other words, their only choice is to hold on with their lives until the end of the mission...
******
The time is 11:17 in the morning, at the position at the south end of the bridge.
In the "Pa~" shot, after Delo opened fire with a Garand semi-automatic rifle, he clearly saw a man holding an STG44 assault rifle, who was considered an elite German staff sergeant.
A 0.3-60 caliber bullet fired by him directly blew his skull open.
After this elite veteran was shot dead, the German soldiers who were following him while firing and resolutely advancing towards the position looked obviously panicked.
Faced with such a victory, De Luo coldly spit out the number '13' in his mouth.
The number 13 means that in today's battle, Delo, who temporarily acted as a sniper, had already killed 13 targets before the entire morning passed.
Even though he was shot in the butt during the battle the day before yesterday, he was still far from recovering.
There is no way! Under the current situation faced by the position, all the mobile personnel Hu Biao has must fill the position and contribute their own strength.
Even some blind people have to fumble to empty the magazine and load the bullet.
In contrast, a character like Delo who was just shot in the butt had no reason not to participate in the battle.
To put it in Hu Biao's words, what's wrong with being shot in the butt? It doesn't affect him lying down and shooting at all.
Therefore, Delo relied on the marksmanship he had developed by firing thousands of rounds of bullets in this mission to reach the position of a sniper.
However, being shot in the butt really has no impact on Delo's battle?
Of course there is, and it's huge.
After killing the German staff sergeant, based on Delo's experience in the battle, he knew that he had to immediately move to a new sniper position.
Therefore, without hesitation, he took the Garand rifle and crawled as fast as possible in the trench.
Sure enough, at most two seconds after Delo made such a transfer action, three small mortar shells with a caliber of 50 mm like a German stick landed in and around his original sniper position.
The first two shots were pretty accurate, but the last shot was a little off.
As a result, the missed shot accidentally fell into the trench they had repaired yesterday.
Then Delo was unlucky. The reason was that Delo could only move by crawling during the battle, which consumed too much of his physical strength.
After fighting from around 8 o'clock in the morning until now, Delo's physical strength is basically exhausted.
Even when he pulled the trigger just now, his bloody fingers didn't have much strength left.
Therefore, Delo's speed in crawling was so much faster; in such a short time, there was no way to climb far enough to a safe distance from where he was just now.
In short, among the flying shell fragments, Delo already felt that the entire backside was no longer his.
"Lao An, black Chinese medicine doctor, help me~" Instinctively, De Luo yelled out such a sentence at the top of his lungs.
But soon, he came to his senses: the black Chinese medicine practitioners probably didn't care about him anymore.
Because there were too many wounded on the current position; the two people who had to fight part-time couldn't take care of themselves at all.
So after smiling bitterly, Delo continued to crawl.
After climbing five or six meters further, I saw a dead paratrooper lying on the trench.
Delo first dragged the paratrooper down with great effort, then supported his body with his rifle and let his body lie on the trench with a pool of blood.
After setting up the rifle, he fired at a target and punched a hole in the opponent's M35 helmet.
Just like that, one shot, two shots, and by the third shot, perhaps because he lost too much blood, he could no longer clearly see the target in front of him.
For this reason, he gave up his plan to continue fighting and lay down in the trench waiting for death.
During such a process, De Luo thought of many things, such as his ordinary life working in a copy shop in the modern city of Hengyang.
"What the hell! It's a pity that the ones we're fighting are not Japanese. Otherwise, life like this would be quite exciting, and even death would be worth it~"
With such an idea, Delo died quietly, just like he was summoned to this mission world quietly.
