At noon on the seventh day, the sixth round of offensive from the Germans finally launched.
The rumble of artillery began to resound over the town, and the whistling shells landed on the British position with a long whine, exploding into large air waves that impacted the nerves of the soldiers. There was burning everywhere.
In the light of the fire, the dilapidated town began to be baptized by another metal storm.
A large number of German soldiers came from all directions, and the sound of gunfire came one after another in the artillery fire, just like the crackling sound of dry wood in the flames.
What is strange is that on this smoke-filled battlefield, even though buildings collapsed during the fierce bombing, there are always some buildings that always stand on the ruins and persist. The paratroopers relied on these ruins to fight against the enemy.
Fierce street fighting broke out.
The previously destroyed roads had been paved as early as the second German attack. All mines were detonated, all obstacles were pushed away, and all potholes were filled. Tiger tanks drove into the town one after another.
.
Due to the serious shortage of anti-tank weapons, soldiers began to use incendiary bombs. This homemade incendiary bomb, called a Molotov cocktail bottle, once shined on the battlefields of World War II and was especially suitable for urban street fighting. Just burn this
The bomb is thrown on the radiator of the tank engine, and the burning liquid penetrates downward through the radiator, which can burn the engine. In addition, cluster grenades can blow up the tank tracks. Many methods that are no longer available in later generations are actually better than anti-tank in this period.
Weapons are easier to use because they can be made and used immediately.
The paratroopers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion launched a death charge towards the German tanks one after another.
Major Ralph took the lead and personally picked up a Piat and got into a house with the soldier named Michel, preparing to ambush the German tanks. Michel climbed to the top to indicate the direction to Ralph, acting as a Tiger
When the tank rushed over, Ralph aimed at the side of the turret and fired, and the "Tiger" tank was destroyed immediately. But the second German tank that followed found them and immediately fired a shot at the house where they were hiding.
Fortunately, Michelle reacted quickly and jumped off the roof in time. Ralph was half buried in the broken bricks. Fortunately, he did not die.
He lay in the rubble and fired a second round at the tank. The Tiger finally emitted thick smoke and began to explode.
"Well done, Major!" Michelle called loudly.
"Not pretty enough," Ralph replied coolly.
In the distance, on the top of the bell tower of Arnhem Cathedral, an adventurer was pointing a sniper rifle at the German soldiers below, one shot at a time, accurately hunting down the German soldiers.
"One point of contribution, two points of contribution, three points of contribution, damn, I want to contribute, I want to reward, I want to be bloody." The adventurer muttered in his mouth and kept pulling the trigger. Every time he pulled it, there would be one
A German soldier fell.
A tank slowly turned its turret and aimed its muzzle at the bell tower of Arnhem Cathedral.
The adventurer muttered "What the hell" and ran to the other side with his gun in hand.
boom!
A large cloud of white smoke came out of the tank's gun barrel, and the shell hit the cathedral's bell tower.
A miracle happened. The bell tower did not collapse, but a skylight was opened by the strong impact. The adventurer was choked by the ubiquitous dust and coughed repeatedly, and crawled back to the sniper hole.
Then he discovered that the wall on the right side of the bell tower had been blown away, and from here he could clearly see the battle below.
"Damn it!" the adventurer spat on the ground and raised his gun again to aim at the Germans.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the other end of the town, Shen Yi, Hong Lang and a few others relied on bunkers to fire fiercely at the Germans. They were like sharp knives inserted into the German flank, frantically harvesting the lives of German soldiers. The Spirit Fire Gun had unlimited bullets. The benefits of shooting were fully revealed at this time. Shen Yi, who did not need to consider the stock of bullets, kept firing. Even when he was huddled behind a bunker, he still held a gun in one hand and fired wildly. This replaced heavy firepower and created a suppressive effect. Especially, The fire damage attached to the spirit fire gun can always cause regional flames to burn, making it extremely difficult for the Germans to attack.
"Someone come and help me!" Shen Yi shouted: "My arm can't hold it anymore!"
"I'm coming!" Hong Lang yelled and crawled over.
Shen Yi retracted his arm and threw the spirit fire gun to Hong Lang. Hong Lang took it and swept it towards the Germans.
Shen Yi shrank behind the bunker and tore off his clothes. He found that his entire right arm was blue and swollen.
"You should give yourself some strength." Hong Lang laughed and said, "The reaction force of your gun is not too great. I can use it to shoot for a day and a night without any problems."
"Then just use it." Shen Yi said calmly.
"But I have a problem!"
"What?"
"You said I used your gun to kill the Germans. Does this contribution belong to you or to me?"
King Kong shouted in the distance: "You use someone else's dick to fire bullets at your own woman. Whose life do you think belongs to you?"
Hong Lang was furious: "King Kong, a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth!"
Shen Yi and King Kong laughed at the same time.
Shen Yi took a sneak peek outside, then turned back and said, "There don't seem to be many tanks on this trip."
"About twenty cars." Gentle replied.
"Strange, how come there are fewer? There were still twenty-two in the last round." Shen Yi said in confusion: "Aren't there more and more of them every time?"
"This is enough. Do you still want to fight more?" Hong Lang shouted.
Shen Yi ignored him, frowned and said to himself: "We can only fight more and more, otherwise it will not comply with the city's principle of increasing difficulty. I am also preparing to launch a group charge against us with hundreds of tanks in the last few days. "
"I'm so crazy about you!" Hong Lang yelled.
"I'm talking about the last day, but we delayed it for three days, so that situation shouldn't exist." Shen Yi replied, and he looked outside again: "But it shouldn't be like this."
The low sound of motor in the sky woke Shen Yi from his deep thoughts.
Looking up at the sky, several small black dots in the distance are quickly approaching here.
"Damn it!" Shen Yi shouted: "It's a bomber! German bomber!!! Everyone get down!!! The bomber is coming!"
Three Stuka dive bombers were rapidly entering the sky over Arnhem.
The pilot on board took a look at the smoke-filled battlefield and easily identified several British counterattack positions. Pulling the joystick, the Stuka began to dive towards the ground, and the aircraft cannon poured out a large number of bullets in an instant. Two long bullet chains were formed, drawing two narrow lines of death over the town.
Along with the bomb chain strafing, a large number of fuel bombs and explosive bombs were dropped.
The three big iron birds in the sky were like laying eggs. They dropped all the bombs within ten seconds. Looking up, one by one the big iron bombs whizzed down in the sky, and a series of rumbling bombs were thrown. There was a roar and rows of smoke were raised on the ground.
Overlooking the battlefield from the perspective of the bomber pilot, it is a long smoke dragon set off on the countless grid-like urban battlefields.
"G51 reports that all bombs have been dropped, please return." A German pilot issued a return request to the headquarters.
A vague rustling sound came from the navigation station: "The return request is rejected, observe the ground counterattack force, and use aviation cannons to conduct a ground blockade if necessary."
"Yes, sir." The German pilot put down the phone and circled in the sky, preparing to re-enter the battlefield after the smoke cleared.
The roaring explosions almost deafened everyone's ears. In fact, the town of Arnhem was almost never clean these days.
There were always gunshots ringing out every moment, the buzzing in my head was the sound of bomb explosions, my vision was never clear, and the diffuse smoke and dust turned the sky into a haze.
Shen Yi and others crawled out of the dust, shook their bodies, and the dirt all over their bodies fell down.
Then Honglang coughed loudly and emerged from the soil.
Then there's King Kong, he really looks like a gray gorilla now.
Finally, there is gentleness. The beautiful policewoman becomes a clay doll, with only one pair of eyes still bright and clear.
"Hey, Shen Yi, is this what you are saying more and more?" King Kong shouted.
"What did you say?" Shen Yi asked loudly, picking out his ears. He pointed at his ears: "I can't hear, there's a buzzing in my ears."
"Is this the more and more tanks you were talking about?" King Kong roared.
"Oh." Shen Yi looked up at the sky and replied: "Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. It's not surprising! There will be more planes coming tomorrow."
"I'm starting to regret accepting the optional mission now! Here it's like standing on the edge of a cliff all the time and falling at any time!" Hong Lang shouted.
"This is a good thing, a bloody battle! After experiencing this, everyone's nerves should be tougher. Once you are used to seeing dead people, you won't be so afraid of death!" Shen Yi said, patting Hong Lang.
"I'd rather not have this good thing!"
"It's a pity you don't have a choice!"
The smoke dissipated slightly, Wen Wen used a telescope to observe the sky, and then shouted: "The three Stukas are flying back again! Everyone, get down!"
Puff puff, the barrage in the air confirmed the gentle words with actions.
Everyone was beaten so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads. Hong Lang was shot twice and several times. He shouted in pain: "Damn, I've been shot!"
His thirty chances to use the bulletproof props had long been used up, and now he was actually getting shot and wounded.
The white light on Shen Yi's body also flashed. He lay on the ground and watched the planes passing above his head. He murmured: "They have no bombs and are firing with machine guns. Gentle, let's see how the German soldiers are doing?"
no respond.
Shen Yi was stunned and looked down, only to see Wen Wen lying motionless on the ground, with blood flowing out of a paralyzed body.
"Gentle!" Shen Yi roared wildly.
He quickly rushed over and turned Wen Wenwen over. There were three blood holes in her body that were bleeding out.
Shen Yi was so anxious that he hugged Wen Wenwen, held her in his arms, put his hand on her wound, and activated the healing technique.
A warm current entered Gentle's body, which seemed to stimulate her, and her body moved slightly.
"Gentle, hold on!" Shen Yi shouted.
Quickly taking out another bottle of intermediate healing potion from the crest, Shen Yi poured it into Wen Wen's mouth while activating the medical technique.
The medical technique combined with the potion quickly exerted its effect, and the gentle eyes finally opened slowly.
Seeing Shen Yi's nervous expression, she smiled slightly and said in a weak voice: "Without bulletproof props, Kevlar can't withstand it. Two bullets hit the vital part... It's really unlucky."
Seeing Wen Wen being pulled back from the brink of death, Shen Yi burst out laughing.
Wen Wenwen's injury was very serious, but fortunately the intermediate healing potion had an effect. However, the large amount of blood loss just now made her face a little pale.
Three bombers roared in the sky and swept the ground wildly. At least dozens of British paratroopers were killed or seriously injured in this round of attacks. People everywhere were calling Shen Yi, asking him to come and save people.
But Shen Yi did not go over. Looking at the bombers roaring in the sky, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Not far away, there was an abandoned German off-road vehicle with a Browning M2 heavy machine gun on it. This heavy machine gun was an American invention and should have been captured by the Germans during the war. But now Shen Yi What's more concerning is whether it can still be used.
Shen Yi gently put down Wen Wen: "You take a rest."
Then he stood up and walked towards the off-road vehicle.
"Shen Yi! Are you fucking crazy? Get down quickly!" Hong Lang shouted.
Shen Yi just pretended not to hear.
He walked faster and faster towards the off-road vehicle, and in an instant he accelerated into a running state, like a lone wolf running wildly on the grassland. The sprint skill on his boots was activated, 100% speed enhancement, Shen Yi instantly increased his speed to the limit, almost During the ups and downs, Shen Yi jumped onto the off-road vehicle.
Holding the handle of the M2 heavy machine gun in both hands, Shen Yi quickly turned the muzzle of the gun to the air. The muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the roaring and diving bombers in the sky, raining down a large amount of bullets crazily.
A Stuka bomber probably did not expect to encounter such a counterattack, and soon fell to the ground while emitting black smoke.
The other two bombers climbed high at the same time, and bullets from their heavy machine guns followed in pursuit.
The pilots of both bombers were very experienced. They flew sideways to both sides at the same time, deflecting the aircraft to avoid the terrifying hail of bullets. One of the bombers glided in the air in a circle after dodging the fire, and then circled back again. , two aviation cannons aimed at Shen Yi and launched a dive-type strafing attack.
The bullets bounced on the ground, forming two regular long craters, which quickly extended towards Shen Yi. The heavy machine gun in Shen Yi's hand also sprayed bullets at the same time. One man and one machine actually started shooting at the same time, and bullets were flying everywhere in the air. The traces left by the air, the fire dragon danced wildly, and the shrill screams resounded in the ears.
The two bullet chains formed by the aviation cannon rubbed the two ends of Shen Yi. Several bullets hit Shen Yi, and fierce white light jumped out. Shen Yi could not move. The M2 in his hand roared crazily, and a large number of bullets jumped out. Bullet casings. This scene is like the scene in The Matrix when Neo is strafing a building from a helicopter. Countless bullet casings fall to the ground like rain, bouncing out with a pleasant metallic crisp sound, and the metal storm spitting out from the muzzle of the gun hits the ground. That bomber actually tore that bomber in half.
The two bomber fragments rolled down in the air and hit the ground with a loud explosion, which stunned all the Germans.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the pilot of the last bomber turned around and fled the battlefield in a hurry.
Shen Yi dropped the heavy machine gun, lit a cigarette for himself, then jumped out of the off-road vehicle and walked slowly towards his position.
