Chapter 0374: The End of the Market Garden (Part 2)(2/2)

The tank commander thought Wersh's plan was good, so the two tanks savagely broke through the pine trees blocking the road, entered the other end of the forest and turned, and rushed to the slope.

At this time, the German infantry had already attacked, and the first platoon retreated to the edge of the forest in a panic. After the machine guns on the tanks knocked down several German infantry, they forced the German infantry to retreat.

The Cromwell tank aimed at the Tiger King, and a shell hit the Tiger King, but the Tiger King's turret turned. Through dozens of meters, Zheng Yingqi seemed to hear the commander's "retreat" shouting quickly.

The tiger king's gun barrel stretched and retracted, and a shell left the muzzle, accurately hitting the retreating Cromwell tank. The tank burst into sparks. In just a few seconds, the shells inside exploded, making a louder explosion.

Another Cromwell tank wanted to run, but it was too late. The Tiger King rumbling after him and entered his soul...

However, due to the attraction of the two tanks, the soldiers of the 1st platoon retreated to the woods with only three people's battle losses, ending the attack in a hurry.

"It's okay, there will always be defeats in the war. We will not suffer much loss. Let's have a good rest and we will take revenge tomorrow!" Winters comforted the first platoon who had returned from failure. Wersh was very disappointed. He did what he didn't want to do today, and his failed actions made him feel extremely guilty.

Zheng Yingqi gently patted Wersh on the shoulder and said, "People have closeness and distantness. If you choose your own siblings and feet between your own siblings and others, you can't say you are wrong - without them, we might have to come back a dozen or a few people."

Wersh was so bitter that he couldn't speak. He knew this, but after all...

...

This time, the 101st Division failed to successfully replicate the victory in Normandy, and the Sixth Paratroopers did not successfully avenge their previous shame, because in the early morning, the Sixth Paratroopers hurriedly gave up the protruding unit - they retreated.

In the morning, the 506th Regiment was in a complicated mood and stepped onto the position that had not been captured after the fierce battle. In the afternoon, they left the position again and returned to Yu Deng, who was covered with ruins in the rain.

One day later, the entire 506th Regiment received a letter that had not been received for ten days after leaving the UK. As the vehicle that was delivering the letter left, everyone in the E Company breathed a sigh of relief:

They knew that the battle was over at the moment.

A few days later, everyone in the 101st Division also learned a piece of news: In Arnhem, only more than 2,000 people left the battlefield.

Compared with the cruelty of the British Airborne First Division's 8,000 troops in the battle, Thorne failed to seize the bridge, was defeated in Nunan and was forced to retreat for the first time. The 506th Regiment, which failed in the battle of the Outcross, belonged to the lucky side in this failed operation.

At least, their combat losses were much happier than the evacuation of the 1st British Airborne Division...
