Chapter XXII
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sky was clear, without a single cloud.
Shen Yi stood under the blue sky, looking up at the sky.
The sun stabbed him a little bit, but he still looked at the sky very stubbornly, refusing to bow his head.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Waiting for pie to fall from the sky?" Gentle walked over and smashed him with the butt of a light machine gun with the squad in his hand.
"Look at the weather, it's a good weather again. Shen Yi muttered.
"So what?" Gentle didn't understand what the weather was good about.
"Yesterday there was a Dutchman listening to the radio, and the weather station said it was going to rain today, and it was a heavy rainstorm. Do you look at the weather, it looks like it's going to rain?"
Gentle also looked up, then shook her head: "It's impossible." ”
"The weather station rarely makes mistakes in weather such as heavy rain. But this time it was a big mistake. Don't you think it's strange?" Shen Yi leaned up so that his neck was a little sore, and he finally lowered his head.
"What do you mean......"
Shen Yi walked to the front of the highway, casually took the telescope in his gentle hand, and put it on the bridge of his nose to look into the distance: "Because the city does not allow it." If there is a rainstorm, the German offensive will be greatly affected, and our last day will be very easy......"
"You mean that the German offensive is completely under the control of the city?"
"Yes. If it's a game, then the city is GM, and GM is always manipulating the game. Shen Yi returned the telescope to gentleness: "It's nine o'clock in the morning, and there are still twenty-three hours before the end of the mission." The Germans had not yet arrived, and judging by the intervals between each attack, they should have attacked an hour before. But until now, we haven't even seen their ghosts. ”
"Shouldn't that be a good thing?" Hong Lang and King Kong strode in.
"Before the bombers appeared, didn't you also think that it was a good thing that there were fewer tanks?" replied Shen Yi.
King Kong immediately realized the meaning of Shen Yi's words: "You mean that the city deliberately delayed the German attack, not because it wanted to help us, but because the upcoming final offensive would be very powerful?"
"I'm afraid that's it. Shen Yi frowned: "It's so powerful that the city has to worry that we won't be able to stop this wave of attacks at all, so we postponed the attack time." ”
"Damn, you don't really have to transfer both tank divisions, do you?" Hong Lang pouted.
"It shouldn't be. Judging from the previous offensive waves, the city has been controlling the offensive strength and increasing it in an orderly manner. This shows that our previous prediction was correct, and the sooner we captured the bridge, the stronger the German attack we would have to face later. But today is the last day, and I'm afraid it won't follow the custom of orderly increase anymore. In other words, a major offensive is inevitable. I just don't know how big it is. ”
As soon as Shen Yi finished saying this, the bloody crests on everyone's hands suddenly made a clanging sound at the same time.
Bloody Heraldic Hint: The German offensive will be launched at two o'clock in the afternoon. This attack is the last attack, hold this round of attack until the end of the remaining time, the bridge is not lost, and the mission is completed.
The Germans will dispatch twenty-five bombers, sixty tanks, one hundred and twenty self-propelled guns, and 1,500 soldiers.
"Damn, bastard!" "All the adventurers blew up their nests and rushed over, shouting, "What does this mean in the city? Twenty-five bombers, sixty tanks, one hundred and twenty self-propelled guns, this fucking doesn't let people live? It made us all kill ourselves!"
Hong Lang was also anxious.
This attack is so large that it can destroy an infantry division in one go, just with the hundreds of guns of the 2nd Airborne Battalion and the remaining 15 adventurers, and two of them are ineffective, what to stop?
Even Shen Yi was stunned.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that this last wave of attacks would be so huge and crazy, and his troops would increase tenfold.
Where is this still the first difficulty task? It is clear that they are treated as experienced adventurers.
"It doesn't make sense!" Shen Yi shook his head again and again: "How can this be? There is no reason why it can be so powerful, this can't be stopped at all." Flood waves!"
Shen Yi rushed over and grabbed Hong Lang's neck and asked, "Didn't you say that the bloody city never gives you a mission to die?"
Hong Lang shouted, "How do I know? All I know is what the veteran adventurers said. It was they who said that the Bloody City never gave a mission to die, as long as you were careful enough, there was always a way to get through!"
"You say there's always a way?" asked Shen Yili.
"Yes!" shouted Hong Lang.
Shen Yi slowly let go of the flood waves, and he nodded: "I hope what you said is true, if this is the case, then it can explain why the city notified us of the final attack of the Germans five hours in advance, and even told us the specific strength of the Germans." It's about giving us time to think, to prepare, to solve the problem. If that's the case, there should be a way, just see if we can find out. ”
"What way?" asked Hong Lang urgently.
Shen Yi spread his hands very irresponsibly: "I don't know, let's brainstorm." If we can't think of a solution to the problem before the Germans launch a formal attack, we will be dead. ”
Time was ticking, and everyone was struggling to figure out how to accomplish what seemed like an impossible task.
Shen Yi sat on the tank cover, smoking one cigarette after another, and his brows were already wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
Gentle ran over to him and sat down beside him and asked him, "Have you thought of any way?"
Shen Yi shook his head, this action made Wen Wen's heart cold.
Shen Yi said: "But there is a question that makes me feel a little strange, maybe I can find an entry point." ”
"What?" asked gently.
Shen Yi didn't answer, he dusted off his cigarette ashes, and then shouted: "King Kong!"
King Kong strode over: "What's the matter?"
"Not yet, but there's something that doesn't make sense. Have you ever noticed...... Isn't it a bit strange about the allocation of offensive forces this time?"
King Kong nodded: "I just thought about this question too. In the final attack, the most terrifying thing was not the tanks, not the planes, but the 120 artillery pieces, which was too scary. ”
"But herein lies the problem. Anheng is stationed in two tank divisions, saying that they have artillery, which is not unusual, but if it is said that artillery is the main force, this is unusual. That's not an artillery division after all. ”
"What do you mean......"
Shen Yi waved his hand: "I always feel that this is the key." The city must have left us a hand, and these 120 artillery pieces are an obvious clue. ”
King Kong thought for a while and nodded: "Tell me what you think." ”
"When I used to study, I used to read books about wars. I remember a general once said: A defense without the ability to counterattack is a defense that is doomed to failure, because you can only be pressed and beaten by the enemy. When defending, seizing key moments to counter-attack can sometimes work well. ”
Gentle and King Kong glanced at each other, and Hong Lang and several other adventurers also heard Shen Yi's words and gathered around.
Someone shouted: "Brother Shen, do you mean that the opportunity given by the city this time is actually a counterattack? But how can we fight back?"
"Kill their artillery. Shen Yi replied categorically.
"How? That's a hundred and twenty. ”
"I don't know. Shen Yi spread his hands helplessly: "I only know that this should be the key to the problem, but I don't know how to solve it." ”
It is always easier to ask a question than to solve it, and in this matter, Shen Yi couldn't think of an idea this time.
On the contrary, the gentle eyes lit up.
"I remember a real case like this in the history of World War II," she said. On one occasion, the Germans and Americans engaged in artillery strikes. In order to strike faster and harder at the opponent, the Germans pulled all their shells to the forward positions of artillery. The American artillery positions at that time were already on the verge of rout. It turned out that it was not known who missed a cannon, and a shell hit the nearby woods, hitting the ammunition depot, resulting in a large explosion. Not to mention all the artillery shells, dozens of artillery pieces were blown up, killing hundreds of German soldiers. As a result, the battle ended in a complete victory for the American army. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Someone shouted: "Are you saying that this time the Germans may also pull all their artillery ammunition directly to the front line?
"It's possible. Shen Yi immediately shouted: "The city will not give us clues, nor will it give us too obvious clues, will not give us a chance to survive, and will not give us a chance to survive too easily." So probability-wise, this one could be very large. And from the mentality of the Germans, they really don't have to worry about being counterattacked by us. ”
"But what if not?"
Shen Yi spread his hands: "Traps and opportunities are sometimes the same thing. ”
This made sense, and everyone fell into deep thought.
King Kong thought about it for a while: "Shen Yi, then you mean to take the initiative to attack and blow up the ammunition depot of the Germans?"
Shen Yi nodded: "We have no other choice." ”
Gently asked, "Then who will do this?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Everyone knows that destroying artillery positions is definitely a life-and-death task, and that is to act under the noses of the Germans.
Shen Yi's gaze swept around all the adventurers, and all of them lowered their heads and counted their toes.
Shen Yi smiled: "Since none of you want to go, then I'll go." ”
Everyone was stunned.
Hong Lang roared: "You kid really don't want to die?
Shen Yi asked rhetorically: "If I can really blow up the ammunition depot and kill some artillery, how much contribution do you say the city has to give me?"
Hong Lang's face immediately fell: "Brother, you are too desperate for money, right?"
King Kong also said: "Brother, listen to me, you better don't do this, it's better to let someone who has the ability to escape do it." ”
Shen Yi said coldly: "This matter can only be voluntary. You can't force anyone to do a task like this, which is like sending people to death. Even if you force it, you can't complete the task. Since no one volunteered, I had to come forward. ”
"I'll go with you. Gentle exclaimed.
Shen Yi's face turned pale: "Don't come to join in the fun." ”
Gentle sneer: "You need me to scout for you." ”
"It's also needed here. ”
"But there's room for failure here, there's no ...... there. You have to get it right the first time!"
Wen Rou was right, since there were only one or two people who went to carry out the task of bombing the artillery position, they basically did not allow any omission. The gentle reconnaissance ability can bring great convenience to Shen Yi, so that he can take into account all changes as much as possible during the execution of the mission.
Shen Yi nodded helplessly: "Okay, who else wants to go with me?"
King Kong was about to speak, but Shen Yi stopped him: "King Kong, you must stay here, this is the main position, and someone must command." I'm not here, it's up to you to get through this. ”
King Kong was about to say something, but Shen Yi had already leaned into King Kong's ear: "Except for a few of you, I can't trust any of these adventurers." I need you to help me protect the dead fat man. What kind of reward Lao Tzu can get from birth and death falls on him. ”
He gave King Kong a punch in the chest, King Kong pruned slightly, and finally nodded with a smile: "Okay, if everyone can go back alive this time, no matter what reward you get, everyone here owes you a favor." ”
Hong Lang sighed: "In that case, Shen Yi, I'll go too." ”
"No, you stay too, I and Gentle are enough. Saying that, Shen Yi leaned into Hong Lang's ear: "Please, a large group of gentlemen, just such a beauty, do you really want to rob me with my brother?"
Hong Lang looked at Shen Yi blankly, of course he knew that this was just Shen Yi's excuse, including the entrustment to King Kong, it was also a pretext. Although it is possible for the dead fat man to help Shen Yi increase the reward, it is only possible.
He gave Shen Yi a thumbs up: "Don't say it, I know you kid is righteous enough, you guys go, as long as the artillery can't wield power, I guarantee that nothing will happen to this bridge." ”
"Twenty-five bombers, sixty tanks, fifteen hundred German soldiers, don't say so lightly, of course we were very risky in the past, you are here...... It's not always easy. Shen Yi said coldly. Even if you succeed in taking out a large number of artillery, you will still have three times the strength of your previous attack. Of the thirteen adventurers here, it would be good if half of them survived by then. The others Shen Yi didn't care, Hong Lang and King Kong, Shen Yi didn't want them to have an accident.
Thinking of this, he whispered to King Kong: "Use your power when you should use it." Now you are the head here, Hong Lang is your deputy, if there is a dangerous task, you will send someone else, if you dare not listen, it doesn't matter if you can't kill, let Frost do it. As long as the bridge is okay and you two and the fat man don't die, the others don't care too much. I'll say hello to Frost and get him to give you his full back. ”
King Kong replied in a low voice, "I knew you weren't a good thing. ”
Shen Yi smiled and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Thank you for the compliment, you and Hong Lang take good care." ”
"Rest assured. ”
The matter was settled, and the matter of going to attack the artillery position officially fell on the shoulders of Shen Yi and Wen Wen.
Before leaving, Frost heard that Shen Yi and Wen Wen were going to bomb the German artillery position, and he was also very moved.
He especially found Shen Yi, took off a medal of honor from his chest, and put it in Shen Yi's hand.
"Dear Shen, although you are not a professional soldier, your courage is worthy of the title of hero. Please accept this little gift from me. ”
With Frost's words, the Blood Emblem reappeared: Out of admiration for your courage, the 2nd Airborne Battalion increased its intimacy to 500 points, and received a Medal of Honor from the 2nd Airborne Battalion.
2nd Airborne Battalion Medal of Honor: A summoning medal that can summon soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion in other worlds for airborne operations. The 2nd Airborne Battalion has a rated maximum of 500 soldiers, and after the end of this mission, the surviving soldiers will be promoted to Level 1 Elite Warriors, which can be upgraded, can be equipped with strengthening, and summoning requires 30 blood points multiplied by the level. Permanently disappeared after being killed in battle. Supplementary soldiers are ordinary soldiers, can be equipped to strengthen, cannot be upgraded, can be replenished after dying in battle, and summoning requires 15 blood points. For each death of a regular soldier, the affinity is reduced by 1. For each Elite Soldier killed, the affinity level is reduced by 2 times. Intimacy is reduced to 0 and the Medal of Honor disappears. Pensions for soldiers killed in battle can compensate for intimacy, and the pension is equal to the summoning price.
