A Weird Theater That Started In London

After being blocked, Major Goff of the reconnaissance company changed direction decisively, and with the mutual delivery of four jeeps, he marched along the lion route that the second battalion had passed.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, 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 artillery fire, unable to move half a step forward.

However, the next moment, Goff saw that the bridgehead was blown up in the flames.

At the same time, a huge explosion sounded, the entire Arnhem Bridge caught fire, and black smoke hovered upwards.

A soldier nearby murmured, We came all the way here, only to have this damned bridge go down.

Everyone panicked, until Major Gough saw through the smoke that only the bunker and the shed where the ammunition was stored next to it were on fire.

The ammunition just exploded, and did not damage the bridge body.

Now that Bridge North is under the control of the Second Battalion, the guy who used the PIAT deserves a medal, awarded by the Queen herself.

The major breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind to try to get the PIAT shooter into his team. After all, paratroopers lack effective anti-tank means, and high-end players like Lu Li are sought after wherever they go.

However, Lu Li didn't know what kind of impact his actions had brought. He was lying behind the concrete bunker, smoking a cigarette with the other three.

What we should do has been done, let's control the surrounding houses.

Only with these dozen people?

No, the battalion will send people to cooperate with us.

The four chatted casually.

The sky also became dark, because the two flares had lost their effect.

Sergeant, when do you think Company A will take the South Bank? McKay's voice sounded a little excited, In the early morning, or before dawn?

It will never be possible, how could flesh and blood overturn armored vehicles and Tiger tanks.

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Li to say these words, so he replied vaguely: God knows.

Hearing this, Monk echoed: Only God and his old man know the answer to this question.

During the airborne, the intelligence department said that the enemy was a group of milk-powdered teenagers who had no combat effectiveness, plus at most dozens of old Germans on bicycles.

In fact, they are large in number and well-trained. They are equipped with heavy equipment such as MG42 machine guns, armored vehicles, tank destroyers, and tanks.

Hearing this, Captain Mackay's smile froze, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, God bless the Emperor.

In this era, Queen Victoria has passed away for many years, and the current reign is George VI.

However, hearing people talk about the Emperor, Lu Li couldn't help but think of the previous world:

The title of the play is Murder in the Fog, and he played a famous detective in that period drama, but in this world, the difficulty is directly doubled, and he has to play a paratrooper.

By analogy, it is really hard to imagine what kind of desperation the next exam will face.

Did Jack catch it?

Suddenly, Lu Li asked the three of them a question unrelated to the situation.

What? Henry was a little dazed.

Boss, if you say it again, I may not have heard you clearly. Monk was also at a loss.

You mean the thug who murdered several wandering warblers in Whitechapel?

Captain McKay was a Londoner. He heard his grandmother say that Jack the Ripper was the childhood nightmare of their generation. When Lu Li mentioned it, he blurted it out instantly.

That's right, what happened to the guy who claimed to be from hell? Lu Li sat up and stamped out the cigarette butt, Painter Sigurd? Refugee Aaron?

The difference between the two eras is nearly 60 years, which is not too far. Lu Li wanted to know whether they were in the same world line.

Perhaps, by slowly groping, we can uncover the tip of the iceberg of that mysterious high school.

Scotland Yard have been unable to catch him.

Unfortunately, Captain McKay shook his head: According to my grandmother, after the mayor's parade on November 9, 1888, Jack the Ripper disappeared quietly, and several cases later were classified as copycat crimes.

As for the two people you mentioned, I've never heard of them.

After he finished speaking, Lu Li calmed down and said with a smile, I have a friend who is a mystery novelist, and he once talked to me about this old case.

Boss, tell me.

Monk urged: Anyway, I don't have a chance to sleep tonight, so I might as well listen to you talk about that Jack the Ripper.

As he spoke, he smoked another circle of smoke to refresh himself.

No one was suspicious, it was just that Lu Li was looking for a topic to pass the time.

On the other side of the north ramp, Major Goff and Lieutenant Colonel Frost were discussing combat matters.

A reconnaissance company with jeeps and sufficient artillery will greatly enhance the firepower of the battalion headquarters.

Goff felt that a convoy could be sent to force the bridge, after all the machine guns mounted on the vehicles would provide cover.

In this regard, Lieutenant Colonel Frost disagreed. He was worried that the enemy would blow up the bridge when he was desperate——

Even if the engineers claimed that the heat generated by the artillery fire had blown all the fuses laid on the bridge deck and the cables had been cut, no one dared to guarantee that these things were not hidden anywhere else.

In the end, the two reached an agreement to clean up the German soldiers around the position first.

There are a few soldiers on the other side of the bridge standing by and waiting for help. I'll leave it to you.

That school?

No, it also includes the three houses behind it. These four buildings are connected together, and you can set the headquarters in the middle.

Okay, what about the soldier using PIAT, leave it to me temporarily, otherwise the position will be unstable.

At this moment, Major Goff looked like a businessman. At the end of the negotiation, he added a temporary condition.

You saw it too? Frost was a little surprised, and then said straightforwardly: His name is Lu Li, he is a sergeant, and he is currently on the top floor of that school.

I know him!

Major Goff thought of the non-commissioned officer he met during the airborne in the afternoon. According to the adjutant in charge of logistics, this guy was extremely greedy.

However, after watching Lu Li's performance, Goff wished he could bring more armor-piercing bullets and let him beat up the German guy's armored vehicle.

Seeing this colleague from the airborne brigade so excited, Frost was in a good mood, sipped the water in the tea mug, and said with a smile: Then, before the ground troops arrive, he is yours.

At this moment, the commanders at all levels who were listening to the conversation between the two had a slight interest in Lu Li and wanted to take some time to get acquainted.

However, the people who won half of the bridge did not realize that the danger was slowly approaching.
