Bab 59: Capter 59 Nijmegen
Steve smirked, nodding, and sketched into the earth, and instantly, three giant turtles with a replica of the
Brookyln Bridge on their backs, made of earth, walked to the river after hearing Steve's instructions, submerging down into the water, intact and strong, able to be solid for four hours, with the bridges locking instantly from river border to river border.
"That will do good for the Allies to cross, and help out the Netherlands for some time, eh? Shall we get rid of the Germans on the other side?", Steve asked with a grin.
"Sounds like a plan.", Peggy smiled. "Might be a day or so though before the XXX can arrive, but at least with these extra bridges, maybe the
Germans will either think to try to blow up our temporary ones or just decide it's hopeless to destroy the true ones.".
"Either way, we got to hold until the calvary shows up.", Steve said as he turned to see a small, wooded area not too far away from and he was certain he was looking at three nasty looking German tanks.
"Peggy, correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not a Tiger and two Panthers with the 9th SS Panzer Divisions markings on them?".
Peggy sighed as she nodded, "Old men and young boys... I swear, if we can help salvage this bloody mess that Monty just threw us and the Airborne in, I'll be amazed.".
"Better get to the Red Devils and help secure Arnhem and these bridges then you should fly south and check the other sectors to see what's going on with the
82nd and 101st. If the British armor doesn't get here in a few days, we'll all be in trouble.", Steve replied.
Peggy nodded, "Then let's get going.", before flaming on, and shot fireballs at the Tiger and the
Panthers, exploding the tanks, seeing all the airmen from the Allied planes have already landed, and they will either capture or take care of the
Germans who refuse to surrender, knowing that there are already many Germans dead from the AA gun explosions and crushing.
Steve went to work on jumping over the river near Arnhem, making quick work of the German camps, with Peggy then flying off to the rail bridge, to the other side, taking care of the
German pillboxes, and then went to torch the east side, making a fire wall in an old, dry riverbed as a dividing portion to protect the incoming
Allied Calvary while they regroup and all, with the Germans stuck on the far side of the fire wall if they dare come to come in numbers in an invasion calvary.
Peggy then met back up with Steve once more, "The fire wall will hold for an hour without refueling from myself. You good here?".
"I can help the 1st secure this city and the crossings no matter what comes our way. I just got to help them get organized and moving.",
Steve nodded. "You got to see if the other divisions need help. If any one of those bridges' only road to Arnhem is destroyed, you can kiss the Red Devils goodbye.".
"Don't worry, I'm not letting my countrymen get left behind; we'll salvage this mess one way or another!", Peggy quickly took off and headed south.
"I hope so...", Steve glanced back at the bridges. "Hope the Dutch are taking good cover right now, this city's gonna rock.",
Steve said as he continued to move onto any German positions in the city he could see as he made his way to
Oosterbeek where the main landings of the 1st Airborne would be.
In the meantime, Peggy was flying fast along the main road she remembered on the maps while many transport planes were still flying above her,
already dropping their cargo of men and material and making their way back to the airfields of England as she went to check the next bridge at Nijmegen.
Peggy can see a few German camps shooting at the 82nd and narrowed her eyes as she shot fireballs at the camps, and they exploded one by one, hearing the first regiment of the 82nd cheering for her, with the CO calling out to her, "Rest of regiment held up back there!".
Peggy looked ahead, and saw more German camps along the river, shooting at the rest of the regiments of the 82nd, and she shifted down to
Amazonian size, and went around in a arc, then dived down so fast that there was a sonic boom, and
Peggy blew out a fire streaming range of a wall like a dragon, destroying the German camps, and she grew back to giant size slowly as she went to patrol around
Nijmegen, incredibly hearing a whistling sound, and caught a AA gun bullet, and looked up across the river, seeing a AA gun.
She shot off a sharpshooter fireball right at the AA gun, exploding it, and scoured the city, seeing the
Germans flee in trucks, and with a finger, shot off fire flares under the trucks, stopping them as they rolled into ditches or such.
The German units around Nijmegen quickly decided that they had two options... either flee in any direction and hope they don't run into Allied paratroopers who have been landing all over the area or try to fight the angry British giantess. It was a mix of both.
Some decided that it wasn't worth it and tried to flee for their lives, in some cases thinking they would be better off fighting the paratroopers than her.
Others tried to follow their orders and hold against any such attack, which didn't do anything but throw away their lives.
It took Peggy a good hour to help clear up much German resistance around the city and the bridge before the 82nd started to slowly make their positions and hunker down until relieved with their critical bridge secured.
However, Peggy soon was realizing just how precarious the situation was. While Arnhem and Nijmegen might be more or less secured for the time being,
