Chapter 48 Meeting
In the early morning, Wolfheze Village seemed to be awakened. As soon as the sun came out, the mist was swept away. Several villagers pushed their carts and prepared to set up stalls in Arnhem.
In fact, they were used to the sudden nighttime raids by German soldiers, and they didn't realize that a storm was about to sweep across the entire area.
"Are those guys finally leaving?"
"As you can see, it seems to be going to the east, and there is one of their stations there."
The two farmers seemed relatively leisurely, sitting on the side of the road smoking, and talking a few words from time to time.
Not far away, under the escort of a motorized squad, an armored vehicle sped away, leaving only a thick exhaust.
Obviously, after a night of tossing, the search team returned without success, and at the same time, they did not think deeply about where the five missing soldiers went.
The leading officer believed that the entire Arnhem region belonged to the rear position and had always been under the control of their own forces. Perhaps, the five of them were just greedy for merit and went to other regions to search without authorization.
At this time, Major Zep of the Stormtrooper also felt that the enemy was just conducting daily reconnaissance, and the so-called large-scale airborne landing was just a cover.
Because, the paratrooper guide will only arrive at the airborne area one to two hours earlier, and one night has passed, and he hasn't even seen a shadow.
After a while, the village returned to calm. Even if a few water birds were startled away by the sound of the engine, they only circled a few times in the air before returning to the treetops without moving.
"God!" Wounded John made the sign of the cross on his chest, "These Germans are finally gone, thank the Lord, and that strange angel."
Immediately afterwards, the hedge next to him shook slightly, and a very low voice came out: "In this case, we should go find the sergeant, but where did he go?"
Twenty minutes ago, John and Monk disguised themselves with weeds, and lay down in this hidden place, secretly observing the enemy.
Now that the danger has been lifted, it's time to carry out the mission, but before that, Lu Li must be found, and this is not only because he is the commander, but also because he has a vital signal flare on him.
At the same time, Mr. Van Ness, who has experienced several twists and turns, decides to flee with his wife and children. He asks his neighbors to help take care of Sonia, and then goes to Arnhem alone to inform his son to flee together.
However, when passing by his own haystack, a paratrooper boot sticking out of the grass made him stop.
"Sergeant, is that you?"
Almost subconsciously, Van Ness thought of the athletic British non-commissioned officer.
"..."
No one answered.
At this moment, Lu Li fell into a strange state. His whole body was sore, as if someone had thrown him into a blender, especially his bones. He wondered if he had suffered a powder fracture.
Especially when he heard someone calling from the side, Lu Li couldn't help feeling anxious: If someone sees through his identity, then he will be wanted, scientific slice research.
However, Lu Li didn't know that after releasing the wolf form, he instinctively put all his clothes on.
Time passed slowly, and Mr. Van Ness got impatient. He took out the shotgun from the room and slowly approached the haystack: "Who's in there?"
In order to facilitate communication, the old man deliberately spoke half-baked English.
When he heard footsteps getting closer, Lu Li couldn't help but raised his body, ready to escape from this place, but his body hurt so badly that it was almost impossible to move.
The haystacks were parted and the sun shone in.
Fan Niss instinctively took a few steps back, and after seeing Lu Li's face clearly, he rushed over and asked, "Sergeant, what's wrong with you?"
"fine……"
Seeing that he had no fear, Lu Li's worries receded slightly, and he turned his head slightly, and looked at his arms and upper body: the red devil's armband came into view, and his body shape did not change much from before.
The hanging heart finally fell down.
From last night to now, he has completely experienced the human form and the wolf form, which can be regarded as increasing his understanding of his own strength.
If you use the human form on a full moon night, you can gain speed, strength, and five senses, and your limbs will be slightly alienated. Most importantly, you can maintain your sanity and use firearms normally, but the side effect is that you will be tired for a while.
As for the wolf form, it can be used at any time, allowing him to crush everything in a small space. Unfortunately, he needs to sacrifice his sanity and become a beast that only knows how to kill. After the outbreak, his body can hardly move.
"Sir, where are the German soldiers? Also, where did Monk and John go?"
In order not to be suspected, Lu Li broke the silence and asked questions first.
Hearing this, Fan Niss replied truthfully: "During the time you disappeared, a humanoid creature that looked like a wolf killed those Germans, and two soldiers under your command went out to investigate the situation."
Lu Li was a little at a loss. Given his current state, it was completely idiotic to want to act alone.
Stay here for now, recovering?
This idea was rejected as soon as it was raised. If the task cannot be completed on time, it will delay the airborne landing of large troops, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Lu Li decided to brazenly trouble Mr. Fannis one more time: "Sir, can you help contact the local resistance organization?"
In fact, any conscientious Dutch will help the Allied soldiers, even if the higher-ups look down on them and exclude them from Operation Market Garden, but these people still have fighting spirit and do their best to contribute strength.
Faced with such a request, Mr. Van Ness did not refuse, he nodded readily.
"Wait here, I'll go to Arnhem and bring someone back within two hours at most..."
At this time, the hum of the motorcycle engine sounded, and a military motorcycle sped past the two of them, and then turned back.
It was the NCO from the next class, Charles Miller.
The experience of this guy is legendary.
When the tracer bomb tore the parachute, instead of fear, he was ignited by anger, and his mind was full of how to avenge the death of his comrades.
Therefore, Miller intentionally slipped the parachute so that he could land next to the anti-aircraft gun. When he landed smoothly, he didn't even remove the sling, and directly dragged the parachute behind him, holding a submachine gun to attack the Germans in the anti-aircraft position. .
After a few minutes, the battle was over.
Miller killed six German soldiers before destroying the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun with plastic bombs.
Immediately afterwards, they rode the seized motorcycle and headed towards the Runcombe Wasteland.
At one point he thought he was the only survivor until he passed the haystack.
