A Weird Theater That Started In London
Chapter 65
After being blocked, major Goff of the investigation company decisively changed direction and personally led some vehicles along the lion route passed by the second battalion.
At about 9 p.m., Goff finally drove to the Arnhem bridge. He found that lieutenant colonel Frost''s troops were holding their positions on the north bank.
The battle to seize the bridge is going on fiercely.
Countless soldiers fell under the fire and could not move forward half a step.
However, the next moment, Goff saw that the bridgehead was blown up in the fire.
At the same time, a huge explosion sounded, the whole Arnhem bridge caught fire, and black smoke swirled up.
A soldier beside him muttered, "we came all the way here, but we destroyed the damn bridge."
The people were frightened until major Gough saw through the smoke that only the bunker and the shed next to it were on fire.
"The ammunition died and exploded. It didn''t damage the bridge."
"Now Qiaobei is under the control of the second battalion. The guy who uses piat deserves a medal, which will be awarded by the queen herself."
The major breathed a sigh of relief and decided to try his best to transfer the piat shooter into his team. After all, paratroopers lack effective anti tank means. High end players such as Luli are sought after wherever they go.
However, Lu Li didn''t know the impact of his actions. He was lying behind the concrete bunker, smoking with the other three people.
"What we should do has been completed. Next, let''s control the surrounding houses."
"Just a dozen people?"
"No, the battalion will send someone to cooperate with us."
The four talked casually.
The sky also became dark because the two flares had lost their function.
"Sergeant, when do you think company a will capture the south bank?" Mackay''s voice sounded excited. "In the early morning, or before dawn?"
Never. How can flesh and blood turn over armored vehicles and Tiger tanks.
Of course, Lu Li couldn''t say these words. He vaguely replied, "God knows."
Hearing the speech, monk echoed, "only God knows the answer to this question."
"When airborne, the intelligence department said that the enemy was a group of milk powder teenagers without combat effectiveness, plus at most dozens of German old people riding bicycles."
"In fact, they are numerous and well-trained. They have mg42 machine guns, armored vehicles, tank fighter vehicles, tanks and other heavy firearms."
Hearing the speech, Captain Mackay''s smile solidified and hesitated for a moment before he said, "God bless the king."
In this era, Queen Victoria has passed away for many years, and George VI is currently in office.
However, when people talk about the British emperor, Lu Li can''t help thinking of the last World:
The title of the play is "murder in the fog". He played a famous detective in that era play. In this world, the difficulty has directly doubled and he has to play a paratrooper.
By analogy, it is hard to imagine what kind of desperate situation the next exam will face.
"Did jack catch it?"
Suddenly, Lu Li asked the three a question unrelated to the situation.
"What?" Henry was a little confused.
"Boss, you say it again, I may not hear you clearly." monk was also dazed.
"You mean the mob who killed several stray warblers in the Whitechapel district?"
Captain Mackay is a Londoner. He heard from his grandmother that the guy, Jack the Ripper, was a childhood nightmare of his generation. When Lu Li mentioned it, he blurted out in an instant.
"Yes, how''s the guy who claims to be from hell?" Lu Li sat up and stamped out his cigarette end. "Painter sig refugee Aaron?"
The difference between the two times is nearly 60 years, which is not too far. Lu Li wants to know whether they are on the same world line.
Perhaps, we can explore slowly to uncover the tip of the iceberg of that mysterious University.
"Scotland Yard hasn''t been able to catch him."
Unfortunately, Captain Mackay shook his head: "according to my grandmother, Jack the Ripper disappeared quietly after the mayor''s parade day on November 9, 1888. Later, several cases were characterized as imitation crimes."
"As for the two people you mentioned, I have never heard of them."
When he finished, Lu Li pressed his mind, smiled and said, "a friend of mine is a reasoning novelist who once talked to me about this old case."
"Boss, talk about it."
Monk urged, "anyway, I don''t have a chance to sleep tonight. I''d rather listen to you talk about Jack the Ripper."
With that, he scattered another circle of smoke to refresh himself.
No one is suspicious. Just think that Lu Li is looking for a topic to kill time.
On the other side of the North ramp, major Gough and Lieutenant Colonel frost are discussing operational matters.
The reconnaissance company with jeeps and sufficient artillery will greatly enhance the firepower of the battalion.
Goff felt that a convoy could be sent to break through the bridge. After all, the machine guns on the car could provide cover.
Lieutenant Colonel frost did not agree with this. He was worried that the enemy would blow up the bridge in a desperate situation——
Even if the engineers claimed that the heat generated by the gunfire had burned all the fuses laid on the bridge deck and cut off the cables, no one dared to guarantee that these things were not hidden anywhere else.
Finally, the two agreed to clean up the German soldiers around the position.
"There are several soldiers on the other side of the bridge, waiting for help. I''ll give it to you."
"The school?"
"No, it also includes the three houses behind it. These four buildings are connected together. You can set the headquarters in the middle."
"OK, the soldier who uses piat, give it to me temporarily, otherwise the position will be unstable."
At the moment, major Gough looked like a businessman. At the end of the negotiation, he added a temporary condition.
"Did you see it too?" Frost was a little surprised, and then said bluntly, "his name is Lu Li. He is a staff sergeant. Now he is on the top floor of that school."
"I know him!"
Major Goff thought of the sergeant he met during the airborne in the afternoon. According to the adjutant in charge of logistics, this guy was extremely greedy. He not only took away two supplies, but also took away all the Rockets he used as a firepower reserve.
However, after watching Lu Li''s performance, Goff wanted to take more armor piercing bullets and let him beat up the German armored car.
Seeing that the colleague from the landing brigade was so excited, frost was in a good mood. He sipped the water in the teapot and said with a smile, "well, he will be yours before the ground troops arrive."
At this moment, the commanders at all levels listening to the two people''s conversation have a trace of interest in Lu Li and want to take time to get to know him.
However, the people who won half the bridge did not realize that the danger was slowly approaching.
