Chapter 755 Civilian Evacuation

"Name."

"Charles."

"age?"

“32.”

"gender."

"Hey, are you annoying? You asked us to come out and we also need to compensate us." After hearing the question, the man was impatient.

"Yes, this is our proposal. We will not make things difficult for any ordinary civilian, and we will never let any British soldier who attempts to escape." said an agent in charge of the inspection.

The elderly, women, and children were released without much inquiry, but the middle-aged men were different, and they had to be strictly identified.

For example, now, this young man who seems careless, his index finger is always bent as if nothing has happened, which means that he is very anxious in his heart.

Especially now, when he showed his residence certificate in the city of Exeter, but was still not released quickly, the man was obviously impatient.

When he heard the other party's words, the man suddenly stretched his hand into his chest. Almost at the same time, the agent with quick eyes and quick hands reached out quickly and pinched the other party's wrist.

"Grenade? Do you want to die with us?" The agent had a ridiculous face. When the other party came over, he found that it was bulging in his chest.

The man's face was pale. He was escorted by two soldiers. Sure enough, a grenade was inserted into his chest.

The people who were queuing behind looked at it and suddenly felt scared. If this man broke out just now, he would be injured! That was a grenade, with a killing radius of more than ten meters!

"Don't worry, with our protection, everything is safe." The agent said: "Our screening work is efficient. Next lady, where is your ID?"

"Well, your subsidy will be received within half a month. Please be careful to check it." After saying that, he stamped a subsidy form and the agent signaled to release it.

At this time, the same scene was almost happening at the intersections of various roads around Exeter. The Germans actually regarded this place as their territory, and the citizens of Exeter cooperated so much!

The expected large-scale attack did not happen.

In Exeter City.

Who would have thought that a city with 50,000 people would be completely gone within a few hours? Standing in front of the city government, Bernard looked a little dazed.

This is an empty city, with no citizens, only these soldiers. What should they do?

"Brig Commander, most of the people we sent were screened out by the Germans. Those German Gestapos are so amazing." Mills ran over and said to Bernard.

In order to create panic and to explore a way out, Bernard sent a few people outside and wanted to get out. The ending was obvious. They were identified by the Germans from the civilians!

"This is our position, and we will fight the Germans until the last moment!" said Bernard.

His men still have thousands of people. Even without the cover of civilians, they can kill and injure the enemies in large quantities through street fighting! Just like last night!

"Brig Commander, Brigade Commander, our reinforcements have arrived!" At this moment, a soldier ran over excitedly and shouted to Bernard.

Reinforcements have arrived!

Exeter is destined to be the most glorious page in the history of the British local war of resistance. Although London cannot provide enough fighter jets to compete for air supremacy, Britain still provided timely support in ground combat.

All nearby roads were occupied by German armored forces, but there were not only roads but also rivers leading to Exeter!

On one side of the city is the slowly flowing Ax River!

At this time, several transport boats were driving quickly in the river!

The Germans first landed, and all the troops came up were the army. They controlled the downstream of the Ex River, but the upstream was still under the control of Britain.

These transport boats are not big, they are all hundreds of tons. The company commander on the ship is in charge of escort, with expectations.

Along the way, they were very worried about being patronized by German bombers, especially the terrible Stuka. After all, their transport boats were without any weapons and equipment, and purely civilian ships.

It is precisely because of this that they can avoid the bombing of German bombers. There was even an HS129 attack aircraft that circled their ship twice, and finally flew away.

Now, they finally transported these equipment!

When they got to the dock, Bernard was already waiting on the shore, and the other party shouted loudly: "Hurry up, bring the equipment to the shore immediately!"

It must be fast, and when they dock here, they will attract the attention of the Germans!

People on the shore were also helping to quickly bring weapons and equipment. Almost all these equipment were used to fight tanks!

Sticky bullets, molten bottles, explosive packs, and even small caliber anti-tank guns!

The arrival of this batch of equipment was quite timely. The anti-tank weapons they had almost consumed. Now they can continue to attack the opponent's tanks in the city, relying on the terrain!

When the last transport boat approaches, there are even anti-aircraft guns on it! They can not only attack tanks, but also when the German bombers dive down, they can even attack German bombers!

There were not many warriors coming, only more than one hundred, but the arrival of these weapons greatly encouraged their confidence.

"We need to stick to it until it's dark. After it's dark, more troops will enter Exeter." said the arrival of the company commander.

The German bombing was too fierce, and other reinforcements could not come up at all. They had to wait until the evening when the German bombers could not continue to bomb, so they could come up.

It is also a waterway, this is the most suitable way at present.

"We now immediately set up three lines of defense in the city, gradually retreating, and constantly killing the living forces of the Germans." Bernard was excited and began a new preparation.

Time passed by little by little, and the sun slid to the south and gradually fell to the west.

The Germans claimed that after two o'clock, the so-called demolition will begin, but now it is already half past two o'clock, and there is still no movement outside!

Sitting at the top of the cathedral tower, from here you can see the entire city. Bernard held up a telescope and looked outside the city, and the last wave of citizens were evacuating outside.

After all, there are 50,000 citizens, and it is not easy to completely evacuate.

Then, the sound of the plane came from afar again. The plane appeared in the telescope made Bernard extremely depressed. The loudspeaker was hanging under the plane, which was broadcast and publicity. 19
