When a large-scale explosion occurred at the artillery position, the tanks of the German 2nd Armored Division had also moved to the front line.
They stopped 1,200 meters away from the British position and began their first long-range bombardment. Learning from past lessons, the German armored divisions no longer adopted the usual ground crushing charge tactics, but first used heavy firepower.
Carry out area clearing before launching a full-scale invasion.
The shells fired by sixty tanks flew in with a trail of flames, razing one building after another to the ground. They did not spare any buildings that were exposed above the ground.
In Arnhem Cathedral, an adventurer was firing round after round with a sniper rifle. When a tank shifted its muzzle and pointed it at this side, the adventurer just smiled contemptuously. In the past few days, this large church has
The church has been bombarded by tanks many times, but it has always stood firm.
So he just curled his lips out of habit.
But the next moment, he saw at least four tanks aiming at him at the same time.
His expression changed slightly: "Oh my God!"
Without hesitation, the adventurer ran towards the big hole next to him and tried to jump directly out of the cathedral. With his adventurer physique, he might be injured if he fell from this height, but he would definitely not die. But he just jumped out of the hole in the church.
, he saw a cannonball flying towards him.
"No!" The adventurer let out his last shrill cry and exploded into pieces in the air.
Arnhem Cathedral collapsed instantly and turned into ruins.
The roar of bombers also began to sound in the sky.
A total of twenty-five Stuka bombers, arranged in groups of five, formed five herringbone formations in the air, forming a medium-sized flying column, flying towards the small town.
"Be careful, it's a Stuka! Kill them!" Hong Lang howled at the top of his lungs.
Twelve adventurers raised their guns into the sky and shot at the same time.
King Kong shouted: "Take action!"
The adventurer who was capable of thundering and falling from the sky raised his gun and rushed out of the ditch, raising his hands to the sky.
A large thundercloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and the twenty-five Stuka bombers were unable to avoid it. At least a dozen of them got into the thundercloud. Under the violent thunder and lightning in the clouds, the Stuka bombers burst into flames one after another.
, fell upside down to the ground, and only a few escaped from the thundercloud.
"Haha, eight! I killed eight of them at once!" The adventurer screamed excitedly. This thunderbolt fell from the sky, which was powerful, but it also consumed a lot of his energy at once, and there was not enough energy.
Time is too late to recover.
But at the next moment, King Kong shouted: "Be careful!"
The adventurer was startled and looked up, only to see a huge bomb falling from the sky and hitting his head hard...
After escaping the thunderclouds, the seventeen Stuka bombers rearranged into formation and dived towards the ground. The bombs fell from the belly of the aircraft one after another like a hen dropping bombs, one after another in sequence.
It exploded on the ground, and the huge air wave exploded into a large cloud of dust, forming a wall of smoke.
An incendiary bomb landed right near where the adventurers were gathered. Everyone was so frightened that they ran away, and a huge wave of fire rushed towards them in an instant.
The two adventurers were unable to escape and were swallowed up by the flames, making miserable wailing sounds.
"Go back! Go back!" King Kong shouted loudly.
In just a few minutes, German artillery fire had wiped out the first line of positions, turning the entire frontline into rubble.
The bombers in the sky were still dive-bombing, looking for heavy British firepower.
Several tanks and artillery captured by the 2nd Airborne Battalion became their key targets. Clusters of bombs dropped turned several heavy firepower points into a sea of flames in an instant.
The second line of defense was also quickly torn apart.
"Back to the third line!" Frost yelled.
The German attack was fierce. After many days of fighting, the British Red Devils' army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of ammunition, physical strength, morale, equipment and numbers.
The only thing they can do now is to exchange space for time, but the time that can be exchanged for this bit of space is really limited.
On the distant position, a figure was running towards this side with a bent waist. From time to time, artillery shells exploded as the figure ran, and the air waves pushed the man into the air and then fell to the ground. The man rolled and continued to move towards this place.
While running.
It's gentle.
"Come over here!" Hong Lang shouted.
A Stuka roared in the sky and dropped three heavy bombs in succession, one of which was falling on Gentle's head.
With a fierce tiger leap, he rushed out of the trench and pointed at the falling shells with both hands.
The cannonball stopped in the air and did not fall again.
King Kong's body seemed to have been hit hard by something, and a large amount of blood spilled from his mouth, ears, and nose. He opened his eyes angrily: "Quick!"
Gentle rushed this way like lightning. When he rushed to King Kong's side, he hugged him and threw him into the trench. The two of them fell heavily into the trench. There was a loud bang behind him, and the bomb that lost control hit the ground and exploded.
"Damn, you are... so heavy." King Kong shouted, rolling his eyes.
He smiled softly, and a touch of emotion appeared on his gray face: "Thank you, big guy, I forgot you still have these hands."
"It's a pity that I don't have enough energy. If I had enough energy, I could control one plane to hit another. It's a pity... I have to take a good rest." King Kong coughed up blood and replied. He was not hit by the bomb, but was overpowered by himself.
The consumption caused by using the power is hurt.
"How is Shen Yi?" Hong Lang asked urgently: "I see he blew up the artillery position, has he come out?"
A hint of heartache flashed in Wen Wen's eyes, and she shook her head: "He had no intention of coming out at all."
The muzzle of the spirit fire gun was pointed at the SS major general's head, and the vampire's touch was placed on the major general's neck.
Outside the camp was a hellish scene filled with gunpowder smoke and flames rising into the sky. Dozens of SS soldiers pointed their guns at Shen Yi amid the gunpowder smoke.
Their expressions were solemn, but there was no trace of panic in their eyes as if their officers were being held hostage by the enemy.
The rumbling explosion was like the background music of this extremely tense moment. Surprisingly, it did not make people feel heavy or solemn, on the contrary, it was a bit funny and ridiculous.
Because neither Shen Yi nor the major general who was kidnapped had any nervousness on their faces.
"You... are an outstanding soldier." The SS major general suddenly said: "It's really surprising. How did you enter my position and do all this? How could you suddenly appear like this?"
"Should you care more about your own life?" Shen Yi said with a smile.
The major general replied coldly: "I don't think so. Maybe you don't know who the SS are. Do you think you can run out after taking me hostage? This is ridiculous. This is not a peaceful era. This is
In war, everyone must have the consciousness to sacrifice for the country, and the SS is the most loyal to the Führer. If there is anything in this world that scares us, it is not death, but the inability to complete the assignment given by the Führer.
Our sacred mission.”
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered some legends about the SS.
A famous war correspondent in the United States said that objectively speaking, the strongest, most courageous and most reliable army in human history should be the SS in World War II.
Putting aside the distinction between good and evil in terms of political stance and belief, the members of the Nazi SS under Hitler during World War II were notoriously fanatical. They dared to sacrifice their lives for their country and fought bravely without fear of death. They were known as the most terrifying. professional soldier.
Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union once said that once his unit commanders and subordinate organic units heard that SS troops had appeared in the German positions ahead, basically everyone wrote a suicide note, and the whole group became extremely solemn, and even deserted. In his memoirs he wrote: "Those Nazi SS dogs/bastards were real soldiers. Compared with them, Eisenhower and I were just fucking amateur troops. From the bottom of our hearts, they were My respected opponent."
When Hitler committed suicide, more than 63,000 SS soldiers followed the Führer to commit suicide in just one month, and more than 70,000 people hid in corners and refused to surrender and were shot dead. According to later US military statistics, the Nazi SS under Hitler's command No one in the army voluntarily surrendered their weapons to the coalition forces. Basically, they were captured until the last bullet was fired. The last words of a Nazi SS sergeant, "Tell the Führer that I tried my best, and tell my father that I still love him." are still widely used. To spread.
Although the SS later became the target of negative evaluation in World War II because it committed many notorious war crimes, especially its active role in the Holocaust, the SS was actually divided into two groups. Organization: SS Secret Action Team and Armed SS. The main executor of the massacre was the Secret Action Team, and the Armed SS was the terrifying army that galloped across the battlefield and made the enemy's countenance change. And what they participated in Although there were massacres, they were much less numerous. However, since we were both SS members, it was not unfair to take some of the blame for the secret operations team.
The real soldiers Zhukov talked about were the armed SS, which is the army Shen Yi encountered now.
Shen Yi had no way of knowing what kind of fighting power they had, but what kind of loyalty and fearlessness of death they had, Shen Yi immediately understood in the next moment.
Because the SS major general shouted loudly at the next moment: "Our glory is called loyalty! For the sake of the Führer, everyone obeys the order and is ready to start..."
All the SS soldiers were ready to fire the bullets from their guns at the same time.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yi shouted.
The SS major general let out a cold and arrogant laugh: "Put down the gun, I can spare your life, but you can't get more."
"I think it's better for me to use my own way to get a chance to survive." Shen Yi replied with a smile.
He did not believe what the major general said.
Although the SS was known for being brave and good at fighting, they were also known for being cruel and ruthless.
An SS major general was kidnapped by a British paratrooper. This was definitely not a good news to spread. There was a 80% chance that after Shen Yi released the major general, he himself was beaten to death on the spot.
However, he was sure to minimize this possibility.
"Don't you want to know how I got in? It's a pity that I can't perform anymore, but maybe I can show you other performances." Shen Yi said and took off his Kevlar body armor.
Throwing the body armor on the ground, he took out the small pistol and said to the major general: "Look clearly."
He raised his pistol, aimed at the body armor on the ground, and fired three times.
His movements were slow but clear, leaving no chance of misunderstanding for the SS soldiers.
The major general's eyes were straight.
The Kevlar body armor had three small holes when fired from the pistol, but the bullets still clearly stayed on the body armor and did not penetrate the ground.
"I think you know what that means, right?" Shen Yi smiled heartily.
"It's an amazing invention, I've never seen it before." The major general said in a dry tone.
"That's right." Shen Yi moved the muzzle of the gun away from the major general's head.
He casually took out a bottle of intermediate recovery potion and threw it to the major general: "Drink this and your injury will be healed."
Then he threw the gun into the medal, and Shen Yi's gun disappeared. This move made the other party even more stunned.
