Chapter 20 Operation Market Garden

Chapter 20 Operation Market Garden ()

In the following days, Shen Yi settled down in the slums.

After selling Dracula's blood, Shen Yi had 2,239 blood points left on his body. After purchasing daily necessities including sleeping bags, Shen Yi still had 2,000 blood points left.

Shen Yi kept the wolf fang ring to no avail, so he simply sold it to Hong Lang and got 300 blood points.

He spent 1,300 blood points to add 5 points of constitution and 8 points of spirit. In this way, his attributes become strength 4, constitution 20, agility 7, spirit 30, and will 10. Basically, he uses long-range attacks as his main battle. Method. This is also the most practical choice for newcomers after entering the bloody city. Before their abilities are greatly improved, they should first rely on guns to complete tasks and increase their physical fitness at the same time.

Shen Yi realized that he hadn't seen anything yet, and he only had 1,000 blood points left.

In the following time, Shen Yi concentrated on shooting training. There is a low-level training ground in the slums, where you can practice marksmanship and skills every day. The low-level training ground is free of charge and can withstand any attack with damage power below 80 points.

The benefits of unlimited bullets are reflected here. It is not only useful in combat, but also in training.

In addition to practicing spears, the most important thing for Shen Yi is to constantly use his mental power to practice mental exploration and medical skills at the training ground every day.

After nearly thirty days of practice and use, Shen Yi's proficiency in marksmanship has greatly increased, but there is still a long way to go before he can reach advanced level of marksmanship specialization. On the contrary, both mental detection and despicable medical skills have been upgraded by one level.

After the despicable medical skill is upgraded, the system prompts: despicable medical skill - skill level 2, consumes 2 points of mental power each time, effectively treats trauma and bleeding injuries, restores 40 points of life each time, and can treat puncture, tear, Medium treatment for shock and skill damage, 24 points of life restored each time. Weak treatment for damage caused by damage and poison, 4 points restored each time, invalid for special attacks. Skill cooldown time is 60 seconds.

As for the mental detection skill, after the upgrade, it only increases the priority of the skill effect, from the original 12-point effect priority to 14-point.

The so-called effect priority means that when two skills collide, if the skill effect is in a conflicting state, then the one with the higher skill priority will be judged to be effective. The greater the skill priority is, the better the effect will be.

The Despicable Medical Technique has no effect priority, and the effect priority of Mental Detection is relatively low. In contrast, the effect priority of the Vampire Touch is as high as 30 points, and there are almost no equipment at the same level. and skills can resist the special effects of this weapon, which shows that the value of this weapon is indeed not low. Unfortunately, this is a difficulty level world dominated by gunfights, and it is difficult for Shen Yi to put it to use.

At this time, he still has 1,000 blood points left, which is considered a bottom-line item. He will make final targeted supplements when the mission comes.

Thirty days of rigorous and self-disciplined training flew by, and the task reminder finally came.

Tip: Go to the teleportation area immediately and prepare to enter the mission world.

Mission scenario: Operation Market Garden.

Preparation time: one hour.

This mission is a cooperative attack mode. If you kill your own adventurer, you cannot inherit the opponent's property. If you attack your own adventurer, the damage will be reduced by 50%.

Operation Market Garden was an airborne combat operation in World War II. It was also the largest airborne combat operation in the history of human warfare.

Operation Market Garden was proposed by Montgomery, the famous British commander at the time.

At this time, the Allied forces had completed the Normandy landings, and the German troops began to retreat along the mainland to the Netherlands, Belgium and eastern France.

In order to strive for a complete end to the war in 1944, Montgomery proposed an extremely bold and risky plan-Operation Market Garden.

According to Montgomery's plan, after the British 2nd Army launched a ground attack on Antwerp, at the same time, a total of 35,000 airborne troops from the US 101st Airborne Division, 82nd Airborne Division, British 1st Airborne Division and Polish Parachute Brigade were deployed using "

The "leapfrog" tactic was used to airborne in Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Arnhem in the 63-mile battle depth, seizing a series of important bridges on the Rhine and Waal rivers, so that the army could drive straight in from the Netherlands.

German heartland.

So the operation is actually divided into two parts.

1: Market operations, that is, airborne troops operations.

2: Operation Garden, that is, ground force operations.

The early days of this war can be said to be relatively smooth. On September 17, 1944, Operation Market Garden began. At 2:15 pm, General Horrocks, commander of the 30th Army of the British Second Army, issued an order

, the subordinate Irish Guards Armored Division made the first charge and quickly moved forward with its powerful firepower. Half an hour before, the US 101st Airborne Division had parachuted into Eindhoven. After a hard battle, they successfully captured the nearby

South Williams Canal Bridge and capture of Zong Town.

On September 18, the 30th Army arrived in Eindhoven, joined the 101st Airborne Division, and passed the South Williams Canal Bridge.

On September 20, the 30th Army reached Nijmegen and joined the 82nd Airborne Division, which had captured the Waal River Bridge.

The British 1st Airborne Division and the Polish Independent Parachute Brigade of Major General Uquet landed in Anheng, the farthest north from the 30th Army, which is also the terminal point of the 30th Army. The British 1st Airborne Division must occupy the area in Anheng.

road bridges and railway bridges in Usterbeek, including the later most famous Arnhem Bridge.

However, the 1st Airborne Division encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy. Not only did they fail to capture the extremely important Arnhem Bridge, but they also suffered heavy casualties. They were defeated step by step under the crazy counterattacks of the German army. Finally, before the 30th Army arrived,

The last bridge in Anheng was lost.

On September 2729, the British army advanced to the south bank of the Lower Rhine River, but was forced to switch to defense and failed to seize the landing site on the north bank. Until March 1945, the Rhine River remained an uncrossable link between the Allied forces and the German mainland.

barrier.

Operation Market Garden failed.

To be honest, the performance of the British 1st Airborne Division has been quite good. Due to the slow progress of the ground troops, they have been able to hold on to the local area for longer than expected. In this battle, the 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Polish Parachute Brigade suffered nearly 700 casualties. The 1st Airborne Division

In this "Market" operation, the division suffered nearly 7,000 casualties and captured personnel, and in the end, less than 2,000 people broke out of the German encirclement. At that time, a field commander of the division faced the building that they would never be able to

Arnhem Bridge lamented: "That bridge is too far for us!"

From then on, the Arnhem Bridge was also known as the "Bridge of the Distant Place".

Due to the narrow ground and the frantic destruction of bridges by the retreating Germans, the ground advancement speed of the Second Army was greatly affected, which was an important reason for the failure of this combat plan. The 69th from Frankenswold to Nijmegen Highway 1 was later called "Hell's Highway" by Americans.

And now, what Shen Yi enters is the scene world of Operation Market Garden.

"Wow, we're going to the days of war." Thinking of this battle, Shen Yi couldn't help but want to whistle.
