Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 99: Deere Highway
At 11 o'clock on the d day, on the county road from Dover to Deere, a small Austin Tilly was heading in the direction of Deere. This small car painted with brown and grass green camouflage is like an agile antelope, dexterously bypassing potholes and obstacles, maintaining a speed of fifty kilometers per hour.
"Slow down, Edward, don't be so fast, God! Watch out for that pit!" Lieutenant Howard of the British Army, clutching the handle of the co-pilot, shouted to his comrades. They managed to escape from that hell, but they didn't want to die on this highway because of a car accident. That was ridiculous.
"Don't worry, Andy, you have to believe in my skills. I am a professional player. I have participated in three world rally races." Lieutenant Edward comforted his friend with confidence. He held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the gear with the other. Come on and shift gears, with a composure, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth.
Tilly is the nickname for this type of vehicle. Before the war, the British Army had a single variety of vehicles and lacked small vehicles. The British Army placed orders with some civilian car companies and asked for an improvement on the basis of civilian cars. The passenger and cargo dual-use models. In fact, the rear body of the car is changed into a freight compartment. It seems to be a kind of pickup, but unlike a pickup, the front cab of the Tilly car is connected with the cargo compartment, and the structure is more like World War II. The middle jeep that appeared later.
The Tilly car that Edward drove was produced by the old British Austin auto factory, and the basic model of the modification was the famous Austin 8 sedan. The structure is sturdy and reliable. It is equipped with a four-cylinder gasoline engine that can reach a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
"You participated in three Grand Prix races. But none of the races were completed. I don't want to be killed by you, **** it..." Tilly turned abruptly and rounded the road. In a mound of soil, women's screams rang from the rear compartment.
"It's okay, ladies, don't worry. At this rate, we can reach Deere before lunch. We will be safe when we get there." Edward said, turning the steering wheel, turning his face to the trunk.
"Hi! Look at the road! Man! Look at the road!" Howard yelled in fright.
"You are such a coward, Howard, you are inferior to the two ladies." Edward turned his head. Disdain for a friend's fuss.
"Anne, it's okay for you and Katie to be in the back. If they are uncomfortable, I can change positions with you." Howard turned his head and said to the two beautiful female soldiers in the trunk.
Annie is a beautiful black-haired beauty with big eyes and a nose, snow-skinned lips, and a soft and delicate face. She looks like a statue of a maid in the Temple of the Moon in Greece. Katie is a standard Scottish beauty. One head of fiery red hair curled up high, revealing a snow-white slender neck, and a boat-shaped hat crookedly buckled on top of his head. There are faint freckles on her delicate cheeks, which not only did not spoil her beauty, but also added a touch of innocence and playfulness. The two beauties still maintained their graceful demeanor in the bumpy rear compartment, but each had a trace of worry and fear in their expressions. The mouths were slightly opened and the frowning eyebrows frowned.
"It's okay. Howard, we are just a little worried. How long will it take to get to your base? You promised to send us to London, I can trust you, Howard." Seeing the beauty in dismay, Howard's male Instinct awakened instantly, adrenaline secretion and hormone index soared crazily, and the blood boiled for a while, and the body was full of pride.
"Of course, my dear, of course you can trust me. Hurry up! Edward, we have to get to Deere as soon as possible." Howard turned his head and said loudly to the former professional racer.
"Don’t worry, buddy, at this rate, it will take up to 20 minutes. Katie, when you get to the base, you two remember to follow us closely, don’t talk to other people, wait for a little rest after lunch, we Let's go together in the afternoon." Edward shifted gears smoothly and stepped on the accelerator. The little Tilly once again increased the speed and sprinted forward.
Howard patted his comrade-in-arms on the shoulder, then nodded vigorously at the two beauties with his most determined expression. Seeing the beauties showing him sweet smiles again, Howard turned his head back in peace.
They met these two beauties on the streets of Dover. Howard is the company commander of the Army's Coast Guard Company at Fort Dill, and Edward is the company commander of the Fort Worman. The lives of these two people have been entangled since elementary school. They went to elementary school, middle school together, and went to military academy together. They were assigned to this coastal defense camp, where they didn’t love their mothers, and they were promoted together to serve as a company. Long, they were thrown to Deer Beach together, and the fortresses where the two were stationed were less than two kilometers apart. These two people are like Siamese babies, they can be called the best of the hardcore, the best of the best friends.
Before dinner yesterday, the two of them received an order from the Dover headquarters to immediately go to the Dover headquarters for a meeting. Before the two lieutenants had time to eat, they jumped into the only Tilly car of the two infantry companies and rushed all the way to Dover.
This meeting is as boring as usual. In addition to a lot of clichés, it is to receive this week's defense plan and communication list. Why is this week called this week? Because the big men in London are engaged in wargaming in three days, a bunch of new ideas popped up after one push, and then they began to change their plans and make plans. From version 1.0 to version, it was just a weekly update. Rhythm. So basically every week, a booklet will be produced. Sometimes it will be delivered by the commander of the headquarters, and sometimes they will be called to Dover to receive it. It depends on the commander’s mood, such as the battalion commander. The adults missed everyone, so they gathered for a meeting and dinner.
For this defense plan, Howard believes that even the value of being a toilet reading material is not because the paper is too hard and it is easy to hurt the delicate PP. Howard's company's role in the plan is similar to that of a humanoid alarm, as long as they howl after seeing the German. They didn't expect them to be able to withstand the German attack. The two companies didn't even have a rifle, and the guy who ordered them to fight would be criticized as inhuman.
After the meeting. The big guy happily rushed to the officer’s restaurant to have dinner. Several defensive company commanders started to complain to the battalion commander after pouring a few draught beer. The Royal Air Force is incompetent, the Royal Navy is mentally disabled, our army is not powerful, and the horses are all clouds . Howard and Edward could not see this ugly attitude, they quietly said hello to the battalion commander. I drove out of the fortress and ran to the city of Dover.
The two ensigns happily drove straight to their favorite bars. The owner of this store has a military background. In the past, only military officers from the base and surrounding areas were received. In addition to the abundant supply of food and a wide variety of wines. You can also buy many rare things that are not found on the market.
While parking, they met Anne and Katie who were standing on the street looking around. The two lieutenants were instantly attracted by the beauty of each other. The next step is to meet up, invite, and have dinner together. The two beauties were female soldiers from the Royal Dover Air Force Women's Volunteer Team. One was a corporal and the other was a superior soldier. They worked as telephone operators at the Air Force Communications Office of the base. They happened to have two days off when they invited friends out for dinner. As a result, the pigeons were released.
The men on both sides are tall and handsome, and the women are soft and charming. They are both soldiers. There are a lot of common topics, and the two sides talked happily, and soon became acquainted. Everyone is an adult. After drinking and eating, they can’t help but have some other ideas. The atmosphere quickly changed.
During the war, this term became a reason for countless British men and women to indulge in wanton indulgence. The two couples quickly found a small hotel, and the situation will not be detailed hereafter. At one o'clock in the morning, just as everyone was sleeping soundly, the bombardment of the German heavy artillery began.
Two pairs of men and women were awakened from above, and ran downstairs with their clothes wrapped in a single belt, and hid in an air-raid shelter dug in the backyard of the hotel. They spent the night in panic and hesitation. In the backyard of this hotel, you can directly see the Dover White Rock in the distance, on which the fortress is built.
Dense fireballs rose in this fortress, and muffled thunder continued to roll in the air. They saw with their own eyes the magnificent Dover Castle collapsed against the backdrop of the fire, and also saw a missed shell that smashed a five-story building two blocks away from them in half, and a huge fireball rose. , Throwing countless sundries and burning debris into the air, and then scattered on the roofs and streets of the surrounding houses, people screamed like crazy, but they couldn't hear their own voices. The shock wave tore the brick walls and tore the wires and broke the street lights, shattering the glass of the entire row of buildings to shreds, and the streets seemed to be raining crystals.
The terrible power of the large-caliber heavy artillery created a great psychological shadow in the hearts of the two young men and women. They began to wonder if they could live to see the end of the war. The two pairs cuddled and hid in the shallow hole and shivered, the women began to cry quietly, while the man gritted his teeth and stared at the flames of the explosion, his body trembling slightly with each roar .
They found that if the old castle they were guarding was bombarded by this kind of shelling, it would only take a minute to turn the two seemingly magnificent buildings into rubble. They began to feel a little worried about their future.
The shelling did not begin to sparse until after nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, the entire Port of Dover city was completely unrecognizable. There were ruined walls, gravel ruins, collapsed houses blocking the streets, and a large number of fires finally gathered. It became a sea of flames, thick black smoke enveloped the entire city, the soldiers rushed and shouted, the wounded wept and wailed, and the scene seemed like the end of the day.
Two pairs of men and women wore military uniforms and walked out of the hotel door tremblingly, but unexpectedly found that the Tilly parked in front of the door was undamaged, and even the paint was not wiped off. It still parked quietly in the hotel. In front of the door.
Edward and Howard were overjoyed. They got into the car and caught fire. Hearing the rhythmic roar of the engine, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Surrounded by the iron in the car, they felt safer.
Howard asked the two female soldiers what their place was, and they could drive them there. Unexpectedly, the two beauties made an unexpected request. They wanted to return to London.
Last night, they watched the air force communication tower in the corner of the fortress were blown to pieces. The horrible sight frightened them. The romantic sentiments of defending the country from the military became so illusory before the cruel reality. . They don't want to die so miserably like their friends on duty that night. They decided to leave this dangerous city before it was too late. Go back to their home in London.
They asked if Howard and Edward would be able to send them out of the city if it was convenient, and they would find a way to get home by car.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the beautiful women, the men walked aside and discussed it. In the end, the two ensigns not only agreed to take each other out of the city, but even expressed their willingness to send them back to London in person.
Howard and Edward actually have their own plans, seeing how fierce German firepower is. This battle was obviously unwinnable, and the two lieutenants had actually discussed it in private at night. The Germans are obviously preparing to land, and it is only one or two days away from landing, and relying on the bunch of waste firewood under their own hands, if there is a war, there will be no way out. Surrender may be a way, but I heard that life in the German POW camp seems very difficult.
Just when they were struggling to find a way out, the demands of the two beauties made them shine. Looking at the upbringing, conversation and posture of these two women, they will definitely not come from ordinary people. If they are sent to London, they may be able to develop further relationships and find another way out.
So the four people in the Tilly car rushed out of downtown Dover and went straight to Deere along the county highway.
"Now we are on the Deere Highway. After the Hangman Trail is the Dover Highway, and then it is the station lane, and there is a farm named Wester Cavern by the side. When the owner was still there, I I often go there with Edward as a guest. Now the farm has been requisitioned by the Army. The owner of the farm is said to have gone to the United States or Chile. Annie, have you been to the United States?" Howard gushed on the beauty along the way .
"My father and I have been to the United States. We went to New York, Washington, and Chicago. I don’t like it. The society is full of upstart-like impetuousness. But the scenery there is good. We took the train across The magnificent scene in the western United States is fascinating. It is impossible to describe that scene in words. I have seen red-skinned Indians. The wild culture impressed me very much.” Annie smiled and said to Howard.
"It's really enviable. Edward and I have never left the UK. If I have a chance, I must go outside to see it." While Annie was speaking, Howard had been nodding and smiling reservedly, but his heart was already happy. Bloomed. He has already determined that the beauty in front of him must be a rich girl, and no ordinary girl might have such a rich experience. By analogy, Katie's family, who is equally close to Annie's family, will certainly not be far behind.
Howard turned his head and found that Edward was also turning to look at him. The two people had a tacit understanding in their hearts, and then they exchanged clear glances with a smile.
"The Hangman Trail is right in front of you... Hey? Why is there a checkpoint here? It was not there when we came."
The Hangman Trail and the Dover Highway form a crossroad. On one side of the intersection is an old cottage. Howard remembers it as being called Gaget Farm. Right now on the road beside the farm, two rows of herringbone deer villages lie in the middle of the road. The deer villages are wrapped with circles of barbed wire. On one side of the roadblock, a shooting bunker is built with sandbags, and a Bren machine gun is mounted on it. , A Wolseley military car parked next to the bunker. A dozen military policemen with red caps and big brimmed hats stood behind the roadblock. One of them raised a parking warning sign to Tilly and waved his other hand to the side to signal the other side to stop.
"Damn it, you guys don't talk anymore and leave it to me to deal with." Edward turned his head to face the woman in the trunk and whispered, then slowed down the car and stopped slowly next to the roadblock.
"Sir, please show your credentials." Several military policemen walked over, and the leading sergeant saluted Edward and extended his hand to him.
"I am Lieutenant Edward of the Fort Worman Defense Company. What happened, I remember there was never a checkpoint here."
"Military secrets, I have no comment." The military police checked Edward's photo back and forth with his ID.
"Your credentials, sir." The military police lowered his head and said to Howard on the co-pilot's side.
"No problem." Howard took out his ID from the chest pocket of his uniform and handed it to the military police sergeant.
"The two ladies at the back, please show your ID." The military police did not look at Howard's ID. He looked down at the two female soldiers sitting in the back compartment from the window.
"Are you looking for someone? Is it a paratrooper or a German spy." Edward took their documents from the two female soldiers and passed them to the military police.
"Excuse me for nothing, sir."
The military police looked back and forth at the documents in his hand. He lowered his head and looked inside the car again, then turned around and walked to the roadblock, muttering quietly with several other military police.
Edward felt that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, the general military police had seen the documents and immediately let them go after they felt that there was no problem. However, they did not do so today. Is it possible that he committed something?
Just as Edward was thinking about it, several military police slowly walked over. They stood around Tilly's car and formed a faintly encircled circle. The military police sergeant walked to the door and saluted Edward again.
"Please get out of the car with Lieutenant Howard. We want to ask you a few questions~IndoMTL.com~The two ladies will stay in the car first. I hope you can cooperate." After speaking, the lieutenant of the military police took two steps back and released his hands. On the holster around his waist, several military police slightly raised the muzzle of the Thomson submachine gun in their hands and pointed it at Tilly in front of them.
"Okay, okay, I'm willing to cooperate." Edward yelled quickly. He pushed the door and got out of the car, spreading his hands out to indicate that he was not ready to resist.
"Sorry, Lieutenant, it is a routine, I hope you can be considerate. Please follow me with Lieutenant Howard. We have set up an office in the Gaget Farm. It is just a routine investigation. If there is no problem, we will release you immediately. Leave." The military police ensign stood on the side of the road, spread his arms out, and pointed to the farmhouse to the side. "Sirs, please here."
Howard stood at the side of the car, turned his head and smiled at Annie in the car: "Don't worry, it's okay, we'll be back soon." After saying that he took a few steps to catch up with Edward, and the two officers were in the military police. Escorted to walk towards the farm. (To be continued)
