Chapter 0384: The situation is bad enough
On the other hand, Zheng Yingqi understood the reason why the British soldier was eager to surrender. Their hiding environment was very poor. Coupled with the hopeless suffering and the threat of hunger caused them to surrender long ago.
[The British Army, who is persistent in professionally cheating teammates, is still so unreliable...]
Zheng Yingqi shook his head in his heart. The Dutch underground resistance organization that took in these paratroopers probably wouldn't have imagined that the British they took in had long lost their desire to fight. He guessed that if he came a few days later or if no reinforcements appeared, these British people might take the initiative to surrender to the Germans.
Then... this village called Boer is waiting for the cruel revenge of the Germans!
These thoughts were only a moment, and he quickly removed the distracting thoughts from his mind, but instead showed his identity: "Listen, I am not a German, I am an American paratrooper. Please turn around slowly now and try not to do things that will cause misunderstandings, do you understand?"
Not a German?
American paratroopers?
Prescott was struck by lightning. He wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into the face, which was so embarrassing...
He turned around slowly, but what caught his eye was the standard German dress. Prescott's mind was confused and his judgment dropped sharply. Fortunately, Zheng Yingqi saw this guy's shocked and directly said the code of the connection: "I lost my red beret, please avoid me and ask me to come and find some more."
After hearing this secret code that the Brigadier General had been looking forward to, Prescott finally realized that the person in front of him was indeed his own person, but the more he was like this, the more shame he became. After all, what he did just now...
"Sorry, I thought you were German. I was just thinking about paralyzing and then took the opportunity to warn him." Prescott made an excuse for himself. Zheng Yingqi looked at the British paratrooper who was making excuses with a smile. He did not respond to this sentence, but said directly: "My man is here with the radio station. I need to see the supreme commander here."
"No problem, I'll take you to find Brigadier General Max now."
Max…Commodore?
brigadier!
Zheng Yingqi was stunned. He never thought that there was a brigade general here!
Colonel Dobby did not mention that he suspected that Dobby had deliberately concealed this news. It was ridiculous that the British were proud...
Amid Zheng Yingqi's whistle, Bain and Henry touched it out of the dark. Prescott looked at the two "German soldiers" who came out again and couldn't help asking: "Are you really Americans?"
Bain revealed the radio station he was carrying, took a photo and said, "Look, it's like a fake one."
"You are finally here... We have too little food rations a day now. Sometimes each person only has one potato. The damn Germans are too bad. They control the market. Once someone buys a large amount of food, they will get intoxicated. They often check the food stored in each family. We have not received supplies for four or five days." Prescott talked about their pitiful situation, while taking the three of them to the village.
Zheng Yingqi shook his head in his heart, these British people are really...
If this were their people, with the assistance of underground organizations familiar with the local situation, would they stay in the basement honestly? Just kidding, they would definitely find a way to build a guerrilla area here! Food, weapons and ammunition? Will the Germans have so many fleets of supplies delivered every day, and they will be short of?
...
With Presquet's leadership, he basically encountered no trouble after entering Boer Village. Zheng Yingqi also met Brigadier General Max, the commander of the gathered unit, and a Brigadier General of the British paratroopers.
Judging from the basement where the Brigadier General is located, these people have been squatting here for at least half a month, but after meeting Brigadier General Max, Zheng Yingqi has a new understanding of the British who is willing to suffer for face!
I had squatted here for at least half a month, and the odor on my body was so strong that it was scary, but when this British brigade general met Zheng Yingqi, he even cleaned himself up. Even the red beret he wore was bright and as if it was new. The only problem was that the smell was very sensational. Bain and Henry subconsciously held their breath, but this was a narrow basement, and they had to accept this smell...
"You are one of the most handsome American sergeant I have ever seen!" Brigadier General Max praised Zheng Yingqi. Zheng Yingqi smiled and accepted this false praise.
After the brigadier hypocritically praised the three of them, he went to the question: "How do you rescue us? How should we pass through the German positions?"
"Sir, as agreed, our people will respond to us on the banks of the Rhine River. They can build up a few counter positions after crossing the river. We must find a way to cross the German positions and reach the front line of the confrontation."
As soon as Zheng Yingqi finished speaking, someone questioned: "What a joke? We are seriously lacking bullets now! There are at least thirty kilometers from here to the front line! How can we pass through it? The German army will tear us to pieces!"
Zheng Yingqi turned around and saw that the person who was talking was a major. He had just drilled down the entrance of only fifty centimeters in diameter, and he was already sloppy and even more sloppy. Seeing Zheng Yingqi looking at him, the major said angrily: "We can't pass through it at all! If we could, we would have left long ago!"
"Sir, let's set up the wires and contact the regiment headquarters. For the specific breakout method, you can contact friendly troops on the other side. What do you think?" Zheng Yingqi was too lazy to pay attention to this clamoring British major. You can't get through here, but I can do it!
"Well, we can contact the other side of the strait to cooperate with us, Lake, and bring a few people to set up the radio station." The brigade general also felt that what Zheng Yingqi said was unreliable, how could he pass through the German positions?
Bain took off the radio and started to get busy with the help of several British troops. Henry looked coldly at the side. He understood in his heart that the brave British paratroopers who were advocated were already scared. What they hope most now is that the car team can take them away directly instead of risking through the German positions. It is quite beautiful, but do you think it is possible for the British guys of tactical masters?
The enthusiasm for the docking team lasted only for a few minutes and turned into indifference. The British in this basement can now smile at Bain and maintain their gentlemanly demeanor. As for Zheng Yingqi and Henry, it seems to have been forgotten. This is probably because Bain's own value is irreplaceable.
“We want to meet the pilot.”
"Beevis, take them to find Matthew and the others." The Brigadier General randomly assigned a paratrooper, and then said to Zheng Yingqi perfunctorily: "I'm really sorry, I need to contact your superiors and wait until I get back, I will thank you very much!"
"Then thank you sir." Henry replied, but the perfunctory meaning was as easy to hear as the words of the Brigadier General.
The so-called meeting of five pilots was just an excuse to leave here. The unfriendly attitude of the British made Henry very sad. These British men claimed to be gentlemen but could not even last for the gratitude to their life-saving benefactors. None of them was good!
The two American pilots had nothing to say, just nonsense, such as comforting each other, we would definitely take you away. After leaving the basement where the pilot was hiding, Zheng Yingqi asked Matthew who was leading the way: "Man, we need to talk to the members of the underground resistance organization here. Can you recommend it to us?"
When he followed Matthew to see the pilot just now, Zheng Yingqi realized that these paratroopers had very distrustful of the Dutch underground resistance organization. Even though they took them in and even provided protection for a long time, these British people were very resistant to the people of the underground resistance organization. This place was the core, but none of them had any members.
It is obvious that I don't trust others.
"Yes, but we can only find Heimer and Storm. They are our friends! They are trustworthy, but we can't trust other people." Matthew immediately said.
Zheng Yingqi was silent, can you be more domineering? Can you believe it? If there is a problem, can you wait until I come to you?
The Heimer and Storm mentioned by Matthew were members of the two Dutch underground resistance organizations mentioned earlier by Colonel Dobby, and were also core members of the underground resistance organizations in Boer Village. When Matthew took Zheng Yingqi and Henry to find the two, the two obviously had learned about the arrival of the joint team. However, after seeing Zheng Yingqi, the young man named Heimer was introduced by Matthew, his expression changed drastically. He subconsciously picked up the submachine gun that was placed aside and pointed it at Zheng Yingqi.
"He is German!" Heimer shouted in shock: "I saw him today, he was riding in a German truck!"
Seeing this guy's unsteady appearance of holding the gun, Zheng Yingqi was really afraid that the boy would pull the trigger and thrust himself inadvertently. He slowly raised his hand and said, "Brother, our identity has been verified. You have to know that if you want to get in, we must have the identity of a German. Don't be excited, put down the gun, okay?"
"Man, Sergeant Jacob hates being pointed at by a gun the most. Believe me, if it weren't for your own people, he could kill you at the moment you raise the gun." Henry said to the young man holding the gun with dissatisfaction.
"Heimer, calm down, this is his own person." With Matthew's explanation, Heimer lowered his hand holding the weapon in doubt, but was always ready to point the gun at the two of them again at any time. Obviously, the young man was still confused.
Matthew felt that letting these two groups meet was not a wise move. He advised Zheng Yingqi, "Sergeant, what's the matter with them? If not, I suggest we go out first. After all, it seems that Heimer still has a misunderstanding about you."
"I need their support," Zheng Yingqi sat down, signaling Heimer not to be nervous, and said to the older Storm: "Sir, please advise your companions not to cause any bad misunderstandings."
Under Storm's constraint, Heimer put down his weapon, but his eyes were always looking at Zheng Yingqi with vigilance, obviously still suspected that Zheng Yingqi was a German.
"I want to find you to find out the situation of the German army around me. In addition, I don't know if you can get more accurate information, for example..."
...
Just as Zheng Yingqi was chatting with the leaders of the two resistance organizations in Buer Village, the 506th Regiment finally received a signal from the contact group, and the telephone conscript quickly converted the received code into lines of letters.
[The joint team has arrived. I am British Brigadier General Max. Please ask your army to handle our evacuation?]
The regiment headquarters cheered in the middle of the night, especially the officers of the Second Battalion, including Helig. The loudest voice was that sneaking into the group was too much for them to be too shameless. Whether it was the first or third battalions, they all felt that sending a three-person team was all about meat buns beating dogs, and they were not optimistic about it, but Jacob's team slapped them in the face with facts.
"Look, you can't do it, but we can do it!" Nixon said with a wink at the intelligence staff of the first battalion beside him. The other party hummed and didn't say anything. One of the staff members of the third battalion said: "The key is how to bring them out!"
"Look at it, it's OK." Nixon answered confidently. The 2nd Battalion was ready to respond. Even if necessary, he could directly cross the river and attack the German army. The reason why he had such great confidence was because Helig once said confidently: Company E could completely raid the German army on the opposite side. We were confident that within one to two hours, we could break through the frontier of the German army's three kilometers.
Colonel Sink ignored the various aspects of the officers behind him, but said to the policeman: "Tell them that the joint team is our best soldier and can follow the advice of the joint team. We are only responsible for supporting, at most... at most two kilometers deep into the local positions to meet their arrival."
At the village of Boer, Bain handed over the translated telegram to the brigadier general who couldn't wait to wait.
After reading the telegram, the brigade general's expression became gloomy. He murmured to himself: "How could we break through the siege of the German army to the forefront of the position?"
"General, how do they plan to answer us?" the major next to him asked impatiently.
"You can see it yourself." The brigade general handed the telegram to the major. After seeing it, he slapped the telegram on the table and smashed it in anger and said, "Fake! How could we do it?"
After listening to the two officers' unconfident words, Bain interrupted and said, "Sir, you can ask Jacob that he is the best warrior and the smartest warrior of our 506th Regiment. He must have a way!"
...
Zheng Yingqi was called by someone sent by the Brigadier General, but when he came, he had already had a good understanding of the situation and was speechless.
Because the British paratroopers did not trust the underground resistance organization, the underground resistance organization in Boer Village was in a state of loss of contact with their surrounding partners during this period. In other words, the resistance organization in Boer Village only knew a little bit of fur around and more news. They were still staying for more than 20 days ago.
This was too far from Zheng Yingqi's imagination. The reason why he took on this task was that he felt that with the help of local snakes, he could understand the situation of the surrounding German troops, and then search for vitality in a lot of intelligence. Zheng Yingqi tended to attack a German logistics convoy, disguised as a German army and swaggered through the frontier, but this required enough intelligence to support it.
But……
The current Buer Village is in a blind state!
