Chapter 0373: Market Garden Ends (Part 2)

The Germans did not expect to be taken first by the Allies. When the Allies came out of Yudeng, the Germans, who were in a hurry to go all the way, did not choose to fight head-on with the Allies, but chose to retreat and wait for the main force behind.

"The Germans ran away! They were scared away by us!"

The British tank crew shouted in excitement, looking at the ecstatic appearance of surviving the disaster, Ali couldn't help but say to Zheng Yingqi: "Are these guys almost scared to death before?"

"That's our covenant, don't say bad things about them behind their backs." Zheng Yingqi said righteously, and Ali laughed. In the end, Zheng Yingqi was embarrassed. At this time, Ali said: "I actually agree with your views on the British army now. This person still has to believe in his brothers and brothers when he goes to the battlefield. Other people are unreliable."

The reason why Ali said this is because the British tanks were not as fast as infantry just now - that was the fastest tank in the world that the British proudly claimed!

But the cheers of these British people did not last long, and soon they received Winters' order: "Chasing!"

"Is he crazy?"

"Oh my God! This is a lunatic! He actually wants to chase him? He actually wants to chase him!!"

The British in three tank crews were extremely shocked. In their opinion, the Germans should stop when they retreated at this time. Wouldn't they die if they chased after them?

"We must look after us! Only in this way can the Germans believe that Yu Deng has heavy troops here! Not only us!"

Winters convinced the British tanks - in a way that persuasion can make the other party obey orders, in a sense, this is a shameful failure in itself!

After chasing the German army for three kilometers, Winters ordered the withdrawal. He had a very good grasp of the degree. The distance of three kilometers successfully created an illusion for the German army:

Yu Deng has heavy troops here.

The German army was deceived. They mistakenly thought that Yu Deng had heavy troops to guard, so after joining the main force, they turned their attention to Weigeheer. Compared to Yu Deng, on the Hell Highway, Weigeheer's geographical location is indeed more important, so the German army simply let go of Yu Deng, who was "heavy troops to guard", and instead rushed straight to Weigeheer.

No one expected that Winters' version of the empty city plan would have such side effects.

Zheng Yingqi squatted in the church and watched the German tanks pounce on Wigher six kilometers away.

He watched the German army approaching there, the German air force continued to bomb there, and the place became a paradise of gunfire and a sea of ​​fire.

"It seems that our regiment and the Germans exchanged fire in Wigheel." Wersh climbed into the church, looked at Wigheel in fierce fighting, and said in a complicated tone: "They... they won't come to Yudeng."

Wersh was very frustrated - surrounded, Yu Deng is now surrounded by the German army, but the German army didn't care about Yu Deng because of Wigher...

"I have heard a saying, 'Parasites are born to be surrounded'. Compared to the fact that we have been airborne and fought in unfamiliar environments, I think this place is pretty good - at least the buildings here can make us hold on for a while."

"Yes, what you said makes sense--Well, I'm just complaining to you, you know, as a commander, I can't show despair in front of my subordinates. I have to have more hope than them to achieve it." Wersh explained, and Zheng Yingqi nodded in understanding.

The two of them originally planned to continue squatting here, but the German army felt that someone was very uncomfortable to observe him like this, so the shelling began.

The 88mm caliber, 105mm caliber, and 150mm caliber artillery constantly spit out shells. Three different sound shells roared and landed on Yu Deng. The solid building was like paper under the attack of the shells. In a flash, Yu Deng was covered by the smoke and dust destroyed by countless buildings.

The regiment's direct company and E company did not prepare a fox pit. The sudden shelling caused them to suffer enough. They could only hide in the corner of the building, praying that they would not bury themselves alive when the building collapsed. Compared with the unlucky friendly forces, Zheng Yingqi was lucky. After the shelling began, he dragged Wersh to a yard. There was a cellar where the Dutch stored items. Although the depth was not enough, it was safer than hiding in the corner of the building.

It was uncomfortable to stuff two big men into the narrow cellar, but in a few minutes, Winters also pushed in with a private. This was even more crowded, and the four of them were crowded in, praying that they would not be hit directly, even if the 88mm shell was hit, the cellar might not be able to withstand it.

Well, in fact, generally anti-aircraft holes cannot withstand the direct hits of shells.

The shelling lasted for nearly an hour. Fortunately, God heard the prayers here and did not let the shell hit it directly. However, when it came out of the cellar, the four people were covered in dust. Because of the constant explosion, the soil in the cellar continued to fall like rain. It would be strange if the four people hiding inside felt good.

I thought their image was sloppy enough, but I didn't expect that after the shelling was over, everyone gathered and discovered a funny fact - the paratroopers who did not hide in the cellar looked even more pitiful.

However, at this time they didn't bother to tease each other because Winters ordered the soldiers to dig foxholes so that they could not face the shells in the next round of artillery attacks, and not worry about the collapse of the building and burying themselves alive.

"As long as you don't hit your foxhole directly, you can crawl out after the shelling and beat the Germans hard!" Winters shook his arm, just like he could beat the damn German. Obviously, the shelling of the past hour was still fresh in his memory.

When doing civil fortifications, many paratroopers are used to being lazy, but no one dares to be lazy on the battlefield. The shelling just now is still fresh in their memory. Who dares to joke about this?

In normal times, everyone digs about 20cm in foxholes, and they can hide when they are lying inside. But this time when they are working, the paratroopers went crazy, and the foxholes they dug are meter deep - Zheng Yingqi's most exaggerated side, he led a few people to dig a "trench".

"Damn, Jacob, are you planning to block the German army here?"

Someone asked in shock after seeing the "trench" dug by Zheng Yingqi and the others. He thought they were greedy and afraid of death, so he dug the fox pit so deep. But when he looked at what Zheng Yingqi dug out, they felt that they were really brave enough~.

Zheng Yingqi drew on the side of the "trench" and said, "We will dig a few small holes here - I call it a cat ear pierced, which can prevent shelling more effectively."

As soon as the explosion of the four shells stopped, Zheng Yingqi jumped up and shouted: "Run into the cat's ear!"

Ali and the other three realized it, jumped up and followed Zheng Yingqi to the second floor, then jumped to the ground, and ran to their "trenches" desperately. Stepping on the explosion of the second round of artillery bombardment, the four of them rushed into the trenches, stuffed themselves into the cat's ear, and then grew their mouths hard, waiting for the ravages of the artillery bombardment.

Four shots, four shots, or four shots...

The continuous shelling almost destroyed the entire Yu Deng. When the shelling stopped, the paratroopers who felt completely abandoned their ears came out of their respective paratrooper pits, and Yu Deng, who was covered in ruins, was stuffed into their eyes.

Many places have changed. What made Ali and the others secretly complain that the church that was standing on top of the house was also destroyed.

"If it's still on top, I'll have to count on the captain to collect the body for us now." Henry said with lingering fear.

The shelling started to rage again after hearing fifteen minutes. The paratroopers who had just breathed a sigh of relief had to drill into the anti-aircraft hole and accept the ravage of the shells. Zheng Yingqi was very strong inside, but in the continuous shelling, he had the urge to tear the enemy apart. It was not until a hot iron piece burned his legs that he came back from this strange emotion.

[No wonder many people suffer from war failure syndrome - how many people who survive in such shelling are mentally normal?]

Zheng Yingqi sighed that this was the first time he had received such a cruel shelling, and it felt...

No wonder many Japanese devils went crazy in the future and launched a desperate charge under the attack of the US military - they were ravaged by so many large-caliber naval guns, which was even worse, right?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yingqi's mood suddenly felt much more relaxed.

...

Yu Deng's side became a corner forgotten by the war. After the heavy shelling, the only "entertainment" of the people left here is to watch the war in Wighail in the distance while shelling. In fact, the soldiers without telescopes could not see clearly at all. Even the officers with telescopes could not see clearly in the smoke of gunpowder. The only reason that could make them insist on doing this - they needed to decompress!

Winters had a good observation location for himself, a strong house hit by shelling. He often hid here to watch the war after shelling, but this location finally attracted the attention of the German army. A sniper noticed it and fired while Winters was observing.

Fortunately, Winters was very lucky. The bullet flew over to his helmet, hitting the wall clock on the wall, leaving a terrifying scratch on his helmet, but Winters was so scared that he didn't dare to watch anymore. Although Zheng Yingqi then avenged Winters and killed the sniper who had hidden in front in Henry's shocked gaze, Winters said that he would not want this excellent observation position.

"How about giving this place to you?" Winters asked Zheng Yingqi with a smile. He was joking. Since there were snipers who could aim at him, it means that the German army arranged snipers around him, and it was unsafe to the heights.
