The road was filled with British transport vehicles, and the black smoke from the destroyed vehicles could be seen at a long distance. The British Cromwell tanks tried to turn around to attack the German army, but these tanks were quickly destroyed by the German army, and the other ones hit anti-tankres. The German army used leopard tanks and assault guns to bomb the vehicles on the road. The Allied forces suffered heavy losses, and the German army also lost some tanks, mainly due to the Allied air bombing. At the same time, they were under counterattack pressure from several directions, and the German army finally retreated.

In fact, the Allies didn't know that this was actually the order of Li Mo, the commander-in-chief of the German Army on the Western Front, which was to resist step by step, retreat step by step, lure the enemy into depth, and the Allies cooperated very well and rushed forward.

The British army continued to attack from Edhoven. At twelve noon, after losing more than 1,500 men, the German army finally retreated. However, the battle lasted for five hours, and during this period the vehicles on the road were crowded together and unable to move.

The remaining equipment of the 107th Division was finally unloaded that morning, and the entire division gathered in Newnan. At this time, the Allied forces launched an attack on Newnan from several directions. It was obvious that all the attacks were failed. The "Sheerman" tanks were destroyed one by one by one by one by the Germans. The Germans turned Newnan into a solid bastion and prepared to hold on. However, the British Eighth Legion made progress in the east of Edhoven, and the 11th Tank Division under its jurisdiction arrived.

On the front line, ready to attack the 107th Division from behind.

On September 21, Dutch civilians told the Allies that the Germans had left Newnan and headed towards Helmond. At 10:30, Newnan and the surrounding areas were liberated. The light cavalry tanks found no resistance. The Germans had evacuated. Why did the Germans retreat? The answer was unanswered. Even Montgomery, the commander of the Allied left wing troops, did not understand why the Germans always retreated as soon as they fought.

At this time, even if Montgomery wanted to retreat, it was too late, and the pocket array arranged by Li Mo had only entered the final start time. No matter how effective the pocket array was, the left wing of Montgomery commanded nearly 500,000 Allies were already in Belgium, and they were destined to be unable to escape. Li Mo was still afraid to say such big words now.

Feauro, fourteen kilometers south of Sand City, is the narrowest part of the entire corridor. Marshal Moder ordered a counterattack here. The German counterattack force - the Walter Battle Group - is the core of the 107th Division, and there is also a battalion of the 180th Infantry Division.

On September 22, British reconnaissance vehicles found four Leopard tanks heading towards Feihao. At 12:00 at the time of the 12:00, the German tanks arrived at the corridor in the northeast of Feihao. As expected, the passage was easily cut off, but the Allied reinforcements soon arrived to attack the German army. At 12:00, the 506th Regiment of the 101th Division arrived at Feihao to participate in the battle, and the 327th Regiment carrying heavy anti-tank guns was also coming. The tanks of the 107th Division were excited to destroy anything they saw on the road, but a six-pound anti-tank shell destroyed the tracks of a tank. The German tanks were very careful the next day.

The entire situation was still very dangerous for the Allies. The Germans launched a second attack. They tried to break through from the east of Feihao under the cover of tanks, but ultimately failed and lost a leopard. In short, the Germans used all methods to delay the Allies regardless of their fate, and they did a very successful job. On September 23, the Germans launched another attack and fought fiercely with the 2nd Battalion of the 501st Regiment of the 101th Division. It was raining that day, and the battle was very cruel, and it developed into a hand-to-hand combat.

German tanks destroyed several "Sheerman" and a firefly, and a leopard tank was also destroyed from behind. In the fierce battle, Lieutenant Dick, the commander of the German Armored Preparatory Brigade, was killed. In the end, the German army temporarily retreated.

Fube arrived with another German paratrooper regiment, with four cheetahs from the 559th Armored Preparatory Brigade! The attack will begin in the west of Feihao on September 24. This day was a critical day for the Allies, and the situation in Anheng was on the verge of out of control. The Battle of the Market Garden would turn into a disaster, and the Germans also knew that they had to cut off the corridor.

So they launched another attack, Major Fube's paratrooper rushed into the defense line of the Allied 501 regiment, and on the sand, the two sides met in close contact. The British army drove the "Sheerman" to reinforce, but soon three tanks were destroyed by 88mm artillery, and the remaining tanks and artillery were forced to evacuate from the battlefield.

The American paratroopers launched a counterattack, but they were unable to repel the German paratroopers. Soon the nearby Allies were cleared. Then Fubei played their last card, and he commanded a battalion of paratroopers to launch a new attack from the south under the cover of four cheetahs. They captured a small village, and at 17, the German paratroopers cut off the corridor there! The British sent some "Sheerman" tanks to counterattack, and the cheetah quickly destroyed three "Sheerman" and repelled the British.

The US 506 Parachute Regiment launched a counterattack with the support of the Sherman tanks. They hoped to drive away the German army to restore the corridor. The German army used cheetahs, assault guns and two captured Sherman tanks to attack the US army. The Allied forces were unable to restore the corridor in the end, and it was another whole day! Fortunately, the German army retreated at night, and the inexplicable retreat made everyone happy. On the morning of September 26, the Allied forces discovered that the German army had left.

In any case, the corridor was unblocked again, but it was too late for the Battle of the "Market Garden". The attack of the Philippine Army on September 24 meant the complete failure of the battle. The reinforcements and materials needed by the Anheng and Nijmegan paratroopers were blocked in Edhoven, and the "Market Garden" in Montgomery failed.

Although he claimed that 90% of the battle was successful, the remaining 10% was fatal! So he failed 100%. The Allies lost 17,000 people, more than 100 tanks, 260 planes were destroyed, and another 1,400 planes were seriously damaged. The Germans lost 9,000 people and 100 vehicles of various types [including tanks].

The Walter Battle Group (including the 107th Division) was ordered to go to the northeast of the Netherlands to establish a line of defense. This was a wet and muddy part of the Pierre area, and the Allies had no clear understanding of the dangers here, they underestimated the Germans and they would soon regret it, and the Germans would once again show their will to fight tenaciously in extreme difficulties and harsh circumstances.

These German missions to establish defense lines in eastern Netherlands are to prevent the Allies from entering Germany. The Allied offensive will soon collapse with the full launch of the "Troy Plan". The German troops entering Belgium and the Netherlands will be closed and beaten, without even a chance to escape.
