Shen Yi pointed at the bloody coat of arms: "Look at this, everyone, how much time is left on it?"
King Kong looked down and replied: "Nine days and ten hours."
Shen Yi snapped his fingers: "It is now ten o'clock in the evening. We landed at eight o'clock last night and completed the mission at twelve o'clock at midnight. Then the optional mission started eight hours earlier, so the official mission start time is eight this morning. Oh, am I right?"
"So what?" Everyone didn't understand.
"That is to say, the process of capturing the bridge is also included in the mission time. In other words, our optional mission is not to hold the bridge for ten days, but includes the two processes of grabbing and holding the bridge at the same time. These two processes add up There are ten days in total. As for how to allocate it, that is not what the city cares about. It only requires that the bridge be under our full control after ten days. In other words, we can choose to capture the bridge in one go today and hold on to it for ten days. You can also choose to fight for a few days before taking the bridge, am I right?"
The other adventurers looked at each other, and no one understood what Shen Yi meant by this.
Even King Kong was a little confused this time: "Is there any difference between taking down the bridge today and taking down the bridge a few days later?"
"Yes!" Shen Yi replied seriously: "And there is a very important difference."
He looked at everyone: "The difference is that the sooner we capture the bridge, the sooner we will face German reinforcements and counterattacks! I think you all should understand that the longer the enemy is given, the greater the pressure we will have to hold the bridge. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball made a sharp roar and landed not far from Shen Yi and his group's gathering point, exploding with a bang.
Everyone lay on the ground collectively, and Hong Lang shouted loudly, pointing to the crater in the distance: "Look at that, do you think our survival pressure is very small now?"
"Compared to the outpouring of ten shells per second, the current situation is just a child's game!" Shen Yi shouted and turned around, firing a shuttle with the spirit fire gun and killing a German soldier.
Shen Yi's meaning is simple and clear.
Once the Arnhem Bridge is captured by adventurers, the Germans will definitely launch a crazy counterattack to regain the bridge. Reinforcements will come one after another, and aircraft, artillery and tanks will take turns bombarding Arnhem. The longer the time goes on, the more German soldiers will fight back against the bridge. The more there are, the higher the difficulty.
This optional mission in the bloody city looks easy on the surface, but there is a deadly trap hidden behind it. Once the adventurers arrive at the bridge and launch a desperate attack, spending a lot of money to capture the bridge, Then what they have to face will be endless frenzied attacks by the Germans for ten days.
In comparison, the current situation is much better.
The Arnhem Bridge is under the joint control of the British and Germans. As long as the Germans are not driven off the bridge for a day, the Germans do not have to rush to call for reinforcements. The pressure faced by the adventurers will not be so heavy.
Therefore, this time period is actually the most relaxing time period for adventurers.
After Shen Yi explained the situation, everyone finally understood what he meant and admired this guy's careful thinking.
Under German artillery fire, King Kong asked loudly: "So what you mean is that we have to postpone the task of taking down the bridge and extend the safety period longer?"
He emphasized the word "safety period" very strongly. It was obvious that he did not think the current situation was safe.
But Shen Yi nodded seriously.
"Are you sure that the German reinforcements are beyond our ability to bear?" Hong Lang shouted, the German bullets were erupting like crazy, hitting him so hard that he couldn't even raise his head.
Shen Yi lay on the ground and spread out the map: "Look, the Germans have stationed heavy troops in the Anheng area. There are two SS armored divisions. They are Hitler's elite troops and have large Tiger tanks. In addition, in that area There is also an airport. I don't know how many planes there are, but I am sure that the number will not be too small. Currently at the Arnhem bridge, only a small part of Anheng's heavy troops are used. The other troops are not used to encircle and annihilate the first airborne troops. The main force is used to defend other places. Among them, the force closest to Arnhem can reach the Arnhem Bridge at the fastest speed in only four hours. The force farthest away can only reach the Arnhem Bridge in twelve hours. We can get there. They haven't come to attack us now because they don't need to send more troops to deal with a small force. But if the bridge is captured by us, they will go crazy with anxiety... In other words, From the moment we officially control the situation, the Germans will know the news, and what awaits us will be wave after wave of crazy German counterattacks. According to the principle of the offensive side increasing its troop strength in waves, in the end we will We may face an all-out attack by an entire armored division and hundreds of tanks! Our optional task is not to rob but to defend!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Hong Lang murmured: "No wonder this mission actually rewards the team. Damn, relationships are so dangerous. This is a hidden trap."
"That's right." King Kong also nodded: "I just said this mission can't be that simple."
This mission in the bloody city is indeed a trap, and it is a very flexible trap. It completely takes into account the strength of the adventurers. If the adventurers are strong, then they are likely to capture the bridge on the first day. That is a full ten days of counterattack force. If the adventurers are not strong enough, it may take them several days to capture the bridge. As a result, the counterattack force will also be slightly weakened.
But if someone can discover this trap, they can cleverly control the time to rob the bridge, thereby reducing the difficulty. The city obviously accepts this opportunistic behavior. Perhaps in the bloody city, wisdom is also a part of strength.
"Then when is the best time to start seizing the bridge?" an adventurer asked.
"Of course the later the better, but the question is..." Shen Yi looked at the confident Battalion Commander Frost, and then said helplessly: "Will he accept it?"
Yeah, will Frost accept it?
In the order he received, the Arnhem Bridge must not only be captured, but also captured as early as possible. Because Montgomery was full of confidence and firmly believed that his troops would be able to quickly pass through the heavily guarded area by the German army and arrive here in a short period of time. along the way, thus completing the feat of crossing the Rhine River.
Regardless of whether Frost believed in Montgomery or not, as an excellent officer, he could only unconditionally obey and execute the orders of his superiors.
Therefore, no matter what Shen Yi says, he will not accept a temporary suspension of the attack on the bridge.
What's more, there is a bloody city that is secretly affecting everything.
This is what makes Shen Yi feel helpless. He can see the problem, but he can't solve it. Because the bloody city allows him to use tricks, but it cannot allow him to rely solely on tricks to get through.
Now everyone is a little panicked. Once the bridge is captured tonight, they will definitely face a crazy counterattack by the German armored divisions in the next nine days. Can their ammunition supply last for such a long time?
No matter how advanced their weapons are, none of them except Shen Yi have unlimited ammunition. Even if they have bulletproof props, how many waves of enemy bullets can they block? Even if they have enhanced abilities, bullets are like rain here. Next, in the years of heavy artillery fire, what big role can it play?
Hong Lang swallowed hard: "You have to try, right?"
Looking at Shen Yi with hopeful eyes, Shen Yi sighed.
He walked towards Frost.
Soon, Shen Yi and Frost had a heated argument. Not long after, Shen Yi came back with a gloomy face.
"He refused to suspend the seizure of the bridge and did not believe that the Allies could not arrive within ten days. Damn it, I still can't tell him how many German troops there are in Anheng. He still thinks that the strength in this area is no more than an infantry regiment. .”
"I knew that was the case." King Kong was not surprised by this at all.
"Then what should we do now?" Wen Wen asked Shen Yi.
Shen Yi stared at the German fortifications on the south bank of the Rhine River for a long time, and then finally said: "Delay...delay as much time as possible. From now on, you should not use your own weapons to attack the German army, and use all the bulletproof props." Take it off and put on the bulletproof vest. If he is injured, I will treat him and try to save some resources."
"How long can it take?"
"Put it off as long as you can!" Shen Yi said decisively.
In the following time, the adventurer team fell into a collective "slump" period. They no longer showed the bravery they had on the first day. However, perhaps because everyone's performance was too good on the first day, the German soldiers had been They were paralyzed by fear and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so that the 2nd Airborne Battalion was still at the upper hand in the battle.
Every time they saw the British paratroopers advance, the adventurers felt a little bit uncomfortable, and they wanted to pull their ears and shout: "Don't rush so fast, I have to stay with you for ten days."
But after all, these words could only be kept in mind, while the British paratroopers' offensive pace moved forward steadily, advancing every hour.
In fact, if the bridge is not captured immediately, the German attack will not be too fierce, but when you are actually on the battlefield, watching the shells flying in the sky, the firelight, the whole world seems like hell, you will feel that it is already Nothing could be worse than now.
It's good enough for the adventurers to be able to control themselves in this environment, but when it comes to controlling the rhythm of the entire battle, they can only do their best to work without exerting any effort, slowing down the pace of victory in the battle.
Fortunately, the last desperate resistance of the Germans was indeed not easy to deal with. After a night of fierce fighting, they finally blocked the attack of the 2nd Airborne Battalion.
Frost was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but the adventurers all used the excuse that they were tired from the battle, were unable to activate their special functions, and needed time to rest, leaving Frost helpless.
After successfully delaying the whole night, the adventurers continued to work passively the next day.
This time, their level of sabotage was even more outrageous. They simply played the trick of being sick one by one, with more excuses than the authors who stopped updating at the beginning. Intestinal pain, stomachache, and headache abounded, and Shen Yi spread his hands and claimed that this was The result of activating too many special powers is that your own special powers only heal injuries but not diseases.
Frost could only stare but was speechless at the actions of the adventurers. When he returned to the walkie-talkie, he called again: "Air support needed! Air support needed!" He didn't even want to mention the special operations team. .
However, no matter how much the adventurers delay, the balance of victory in the battle has begun to tilt towards the British paratroopers, and will no longer shift with people's will. Moreover, the adventurers can not work, Shen Yi has to work hard, he cannot look at the 2nd Airborne Battalion The soldiers died, and those who should be saved were saved. Emotionally speaking, they were comrades-in-arms, and in terms of interests, they were both bloody points and combat power. It would be good to save one more.
The reduction in combat casualties has made the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion fight more bravely. They are already elites, and their combat effectiveness has become more and more tyrannical.
Adventurers have never hated their allies so powerfully as they do now.
The battle lasted for a day, and the German troops retreated like a tide. When the battle reached noon on the third day, the 2nd Airborne Battalion had completely controlled the entire bridge deck. However, when they were about to reach the bridge head, what was waiting for them was a reinforced concrete bridge. There is a bunker, and there is an armored vehicle next to it.
There was originally a bunker like this on the northern section of the bridge, and Frost took it down with his own life. But this time, facing another bunker, he didn't want to do it again.
He bent over and ran to Shen Yi and shouted: "My friend, have you seen that bunker? I need your weapon that can hit tanks, help me blow it down!"
Shen Yi replied: "I'm sorry that I can't agree to your request."
"Why?"
"Because I don't have much ammunition, I have to save some money." Shen Yi replied.
"What does that matter? As long as we take down that bunker, the bridge will be ours! Then as long as we clear out the remnants on the other side, we just need to wait until the main force arrives." Frost shouted. He couldn't understand why Shen Shen Yi was so opposed to taking down the bridge that he did not hesitate to make small moves in secret.
Did he think he couldn't see it?
"Unfortunately, I don't think so." Shen Yi replied. Frost would never believe that Montgomery's main ground force never reached Arnhem. In other words, the 2nd Airborne Battalion could never wait until their main force force.
Frost said to Shen Yi seriously: "I know you still want me to postpone taking over the bridge, but my friend, as a soldier, it is our bounden duty to execute orders, and it is our honor to die on the battlefield. We are not afraid. No matter how powerful the enemy is, we are not afraid of possible death. No matter what obstacles are in our way, we will have the courage to crush them!"
"Do you know how many of my soldiers have died in the past two days? More than forty. They might not have died so many, if you and your partners were willing to really take action. But they have no complaints, because killing the enemy, Or be killed by the enemy, it is our duty."
As he spoke, Frost pointed to the bunker in the distance: "Now, I can let my people storm that bunker. I'm sure I can take it, but a lot of people will definitely die. You can't stop my attack. , but you can let my soldiers die less. I look forward to your decision."
Frost's words are sincere, serious and persistent.
Shen Yi stared at Frost blankly. At that moment, he could see the firm determination in the eyes of the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander.
This is a true warrior!
A soldier who loves his soldiers and is also loyal to his duty.
There was no way he could keep delaying like this.
After thinking about it, Shen Yi said: "My partners and I are very tired. We have hardly had any rest since the battle. We need sleep."
"Take that bunker and you can get what you want. Then you can sleep however you want."
"I'm afraid that we won't have time to sleep by then. Frost, give me one more day, and I promise to capture that bunker for you tomorrow. This is the last condition!" Shen Yi said firmly: "Just one day!"
Frost took a deep look at Shen Yi and finally nodded: "Okay, I agree to your conditions. But you and your partners must help us take down the bunker tomorrow."
After successfully getting one day, Shen Yi exhaled a long breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone cease fire and sleep on the spot!"
Although the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion did not know why they gave up the attack when victory was imminent, they still obeyed the order.
Shen Yi took a long breath. He did not expect that his first order after having the authority to command the 2nd Airborne Battalion would be to tell everyone to sleep.
Day four, early morning.
Shen Yi called the adventurer with the flash boots, whispered a few words to him, then called a few soldiers from the airborne battalion, and then pointed to the bunker in front. The soldiers and adventurers understood immediately.
A moment later, several soldiers from the airborne battalion ducked over from the front of the bridge to attract the attention of the Germans. Flames erupted from the bunker, and the only remaining armored vehicle of the Germans also roared mercilessly. The rain of bullets rained down on the unprotected area. Several soldiers reacted quickly, lying down at the same time, rolling their bodies and falling back to the fortifications. At the same time, the adventurer's jump boots skill was activated, and he teleported to the top of the bunker, holding the The portable flamethrower rolled out a fire dragon and rolled towards the bunker. The frightened screams of the German soldiers came from the bunker.
At the same time, he pulled out a grenade and stuffed it into the armored vehicle next to him. With a loud explosion, the armored vehicle and the bunker misfired at the same time.
Several German soldiers with their hands behind their heads came out of the bunker. Soldiers from the 2nd Airborne Battalion swarmed them and shot them to death.
The last fortress that should have cost at least dozens of lives to capture was easily captured by them.
Shen Yi said to Frost: "Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel, the bridge has been fully captured."
