Generally speaking, prisoners of war who can escape from the enemy are basically cruel people. After all, most of the people surrendered after losing their will to fight and choose to surrender because of their desire to survive. As long as the other party does not seriously abuse it, few people choose to escape in order to survive!

Because escaping means death - most people, with the will to survive, honestly act as prisoners of war.

Of course, the prisoners of war in the hands of Japanese people who lived a good life are not counted...

Colonel Dobby, the German army obviously gave him a prisoner's life that was echoing the treatment of an officer, and even sent him to the hospital to treat his injuries. However, after a few days of restoring his energy, this guy slapped his butt out of the German hospital, crossed the front line in the dark and swam across the confrontation river and successfully escaped from the sky. Such a person is definitely a cruel person.

This was what Zheng Yingqi thought when he followed Heilige to the hospital to meet Colonel Dobby, and Heilige also proved the other party's hard character.

"As far as we know, Colonel Dobby belongs to the British First Airborne Division, nicknamed Arnhem's madman Colonel, whose troops performed very well in the Market Garden Operation, refused to surrender in desperate situations and persisted until the end - but because of the problem with their airborne location, they could only stay on the other side after the failure of the operation, which means they had been persisting for a month."

To be honest, the British paratroopers were as tenacious as the US paratroopers - this must be objectively admitted. Operation Market Garden, the British First Paratrooper Division was responsible for the hardest bones to crack. In the end, due to the loss of the bridge, it was forced to evacuate without subsequent support. However, a paratrooper division only withdrew less than 2,000 people. Based on the values ​​of European and American soldiers, this was simply a miracle.

This is probably because the selection of paratroopers is much stricter than that of infantry. After all, not everyone has the courage to leaps from high altitudes.

Although Zheng Yingqi admired a hero like Colonel Dobi whom he was about to meet, he still asked with caution: "Sir, I want to know if Colonel Dobi is trustworthy?"

Helig looked at Zheng Yingqi strangely and asked, "Why did you ask that?"

This is about your own safety, of course you have to ask!

"I don't want the whole operation to be planned by the Germans - that would be a joke." Zheng Yingqi spread his hands and said.

"We have conducted an investigation. After Colonel Dobby was captured, he was not interrogated by the German army, but was sent directly to the hospital for treatment. After staying in the hospital for five days, he escaped the supervision of the German army."

"That's good."

...

Colonel Dobby is a typical John Bull soldier in his forties. Because he was admitted to the British's own hospital, he was treated very well, not as sloppy as Zheng Yingqi thought. Although he had experienced escape, he was still full of energy when he spoke.

"Our people are trapped here," Colonel Dobby took out the map after clearing the ward and pointed to an inconspicuous place name on the map. "Our people are trapped in this place called Boer village, but their situation is very bad now. With the continuous investigation of the Germans, the Dutch provided more and more shortage of food. Before I took the initiative to surrender, the Dutch did their best to ensure that they could only have a meal a day."

Take the initiative to surrender?

Zheng Yingqi's expression frightened and immediately asked, "Col. Are you surrendering voluntarily?"

"Yes," Colonel Dobby did not deny it, but said frankly: "I was injured at the time. The Dutch were unable to provide medicines. At the same time, the situation was getting worse and worse. A considerable number of the Dutch underground resistance organizations were bribed by the Germans, so they could only take this worst-in-fact, in order to ensure our safety, we even beg our Dutch underground resistance organizations to not report our traces to them.

Don't worry, my surrender was negotiated, and they all trusted me."

Zheng Yingqi did not easily believe Colonel Dobi's words, but looked at Helig. Helig understood Zheng Yingqi's questions and shook his head gently - he meant that Colonel Sink didn't know about Colonel Dobi's voluntary surrender.

"By the way, I made a secret code with them. When you arrive in Bour Village, you can find Heimer or Storm and tell him, 'My red beret is lost, Dobby asks me to come and find some more', so that they will understand your identity and take you to them."

Dobby continued, as if he hadn't seen the suspicion of the two - or he understood the suspicion of the two, but did not take it to heart.

"My red beret was lost. Dobby asked me to come over and find some more - is that true?" Zheng Yingqi repeated the secret code the colonel said, and the colonel nodded.

After Helig obtained the location and joint code, he had achieved his goal and saw this, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Colonel, we will leave now to prepare."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, the colonel cried out and said, "Child, you must bring them back!"

"Yeah, sure."

Although Helig agreed, he changed his tone after leaving the hospital: "Jacob, the action must be paused - I have to respond to the regiment headquarters, he lied to us!"

He lied to us, which meant that Colonel Dobby had never confessed that he was taken the initiative to be captured. In Helieg's opinion, since he could deceive them in this regard, what about other aspects?

"I don't think there is any problem." Zheng Yingqi didn't think so. He said: "If he is really guilty and just tell us the code and location of the connector. There is no need to say that he was captured on his own initiative - sir, I have thought about it. If this matter is really a trap, what do the Germans want? Have a few spies in more than a hundred people? If this is the case, it's best!"

Judging from the entire rescue process, if this is a conspiracy by the Germans, then the Germans will not make any profit - whether it is a joint team or a rescue team, even if the Germans swallowed it up, there will be only a few people? If this is a conspiracy by the Germans, would they give up a colonel because of such a small profit?

Although it is cruel, it is a fact-in-in the war, a colonel is much more valuable than a group of soldiers...

"Well, you go and prepare, but I will still report this to the colonel. If the colonel calls for a halt, it's best - unless you can convince the colonel," said Helig.

Zheng Yingqi was very satisfied with his new company commander. Judging from the words he planned to pause the action and react to the above because he suspected that Dobi had any problems, this company commander was a really good person - but unfortunately, Zheng Yingqi didn't know the future ending at this time, otherwise he would have died of regret.

Zheng Yingqi's preparation was to follow Winters to the regiment headquarters to learn about the situation of the German army opposite. He would take two people to wear German uniforms at night and sneak in because he had to go deep into the village of Boer 28 kilometers away in a straight line on the map, and he needed to learn enough German intelligence to successfully impersonate the German at critical moments.

Infiltrating in disguise cannot be done by wearing the other party’s military uniform. You also need to know a lot of information so that you can not reveal your strength at critical moments.

Compared to the leisurely front line waiting for artillery attacks, the regiment headquarters is extremely busy. Many people think that the civil servants and staff officers of the regiment headquarters are all busy, but Zheng Yingqi is very clear that in wartime, the civil servants of the regiment headquarters, staff officers and other personnel are actually the busiest. Take a regiment as an example. How many problems will arise every day if two thousand people are small? How many enemy situations are known every day? How many logistics, ammunition, etc. should be involved?

Just as Winters asked for all the intelligence from the opposite German army, the staff in charge of the intelligence brought two people to take out the information up to ten centimeters, these are the things accumulated by the civilians and staff of the regiment headquarters.

"It's a bit too much..." Zheng Yingqi lamented, and then devoted himself to the work of judging books. There was a kind of rush to learn English when he was forced to learn English. When it was dark, he finally finished reading this stack of materials streamlined by the staff. The map in his mind marked the numbers and situations of many German troops.

...

The team responsible for infiltration was led by Zheng Yingqi, with a total of three people. The team leader Zheng Yingqi, Henry carrying Kar.98k, and Bain, who was in charge of communication. Usually, Bain carried a wireless telephone, but because of this mission, he could only carry a transmitter. The transmitter he carried made it difficult for Bain to pretend to be a German. After all, even if the Germans had a brain in water, they would not carry the Allied transmitter. Therefore, when he was infiltrated, he had to keep a distance from Zheng Yingqi and Henry in front and hang behind the two of them like a tail.

"The British are masters of planning. You see, they are only responsible for providing ideas, and we are responsible for providing people - um, I think we may have to bleed. Tsk, according to the British standards, this is really a fair deal." Henry commented on the British's behavior of treating them as guns.

"I think Mr. Dobby must be too familiar with the situation of the British army around him, so he can only ask for help from us," Bain said with a smile. "After all, the soldiers of the British Empire always have a strange tacit understanding with the enemy, just like they said, 'Oh, we can't shoot at the enemy, because they will fight back'."

Zheng Yingqi turned his head and said to the two men who despised the British army: "What you are talking about is an ordinary British army - the British army we need to connect is pretty good. In addition, there are five of our pilots, which is worth our risk."

To be honest, Zheng Yingqi was really speechless to the British - before the Market Garden operation, the British were warned by the military intelligence department, saying that among the leaders of the Dutch underground resistance organization, there were traitors who defected to the Germans and could not trust the Dutch.

As a result, they decisively believed the warnings of the military intelligence department. While relying on the various support from the underground resistance organizations, they turned a blind eye to the information provided by others. During the entire operation, due to the stubbornness of the British Empire officers, they lost many opportunities. Even the trapped people this time asked for the underground resistance organizations, but on the other hand, they were full of suspicion of the people and asked them not to report the situation to the higher authorities. Tsk, if the British gave the Dutch more trust, it would probably not be so miserable.

While the three of them were talking, they came to the riverside. The paratroopers escorted around them scattered, leaving a safe area for the three of them. The reason for this was that the infiltrated joint team was now dressed in German, from the inside out, from the smallest to the trousers and cigarettes, were all completely German goods. This was a nervous person who was shot black and shot, which was really unfair.

"Jacob," Wilsh greeted the three and said to Zheng Yingqi: "On the other side of the river has been controlled by our people, you can set out."

"Well, just wait and accept us." Zheng Yingqi said with a smile. He could see that Wersh was very nervous - his relationship with Wersh and Ali was the most powerful among the entire company. No one in the entire E Company had ever experienced the experience of fighting in Lambler, the experience of relying on life and death, which made Wersh care especially about Ali and Zheng Yingqi.

"If...if," Wilsh whispered: "If things cannot be done, save yourself first."

This should not be said from the officers, especially to a group about to sneak into the enemy-occupied area, but Wersh said it anyway.

Zheng Yingqi silently patted Wilsh and nodded, but his heart was very heavy. Humans are emotional creatures, and emotions are mutual. But for Zheng Yingqi, this kind of friendship that trans-time and space is destined to have no ending made him very "depressed".

Fortunately, he was very good at controlling his thoughts. After realizing that he was thinking about heavy things, he immediately forced himself to leave these things behind, and then smiled at Wilsh and said, "Prepare for a grand dinner - I think the British paratroopers I brought back will definitely eat a cow."

Everyone chuckled, and then under the leadership of Wilsh, they formed a cover team to cover the three people who were about to cross the river. On the opposite side, Gordon and the others had occupied the surroundings and were waiting for the infiltration group to cross the river.
