Chapter 4 Market Garden Action
In the following days, Shen Yi was stationed in the slums.
After selling Dracula's blood, Shen Yi had 2,239 blood points left on his body. After buying daily necessities, including sleeping bags, etc., Shen Yi still had 2,000 blood points left.
It was useless for Shen Yi to keep the wolf tooth ring, so he simply sold it to Hong Lang and got 300 blood points.
Spend 1300 blood points and add 5 points of constitution and 8 points of spirit to himself, so that his attributes become strength 4, constitution 20, agility 7, spirit 30, will 10, basically with long-range attacks as the main combat method. This is also the most practical choice for newcomers after entering the bloody city, before their own abilities are greatly improved, they still rely on guns to complete the task, and at the same time sharpen their physique.
Shen Yi found that he hadn't seen anything yet, and he only had 1,000 blood points left.
In the following time, Shen Yi was engrossed in shooting training. There is a low-level training ground in the slum where you can practice your marksmanship and skills every day, and the low-level training ground is free of charge and can withstand any attack with damage of less than 80 points.
This is where the benefits of infinite bullets come into play, not only in combat, but also in training.
In addition to practicing guns, the most important thing for Shen Yi is to use his mental power to practice spiritual exploration and medical techniques in the training ground every day.
After nearly thirty days of practice and use, Shen Yi's marksmanship proficiency has greatly increased, but there is still a distance from advanced marksmanship specialization. On the contrary, spiritual exploration and despicable medical techniques have been upgraded to a higher 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 external injuries and bleeding damage, recovers 40 points of health each time, and treats piercing, tearing, concussion and skill damage medium, and restores 24 points of health each time. Weakly heals mutilated and toxin damage, recovering 4 points each time, and has no effect on special attacks. Ability cooldown is 60 seconds.
As for the Psychic Detection Skill, after being upgraded, it only increases the priority of skill effects, from the original 12 points of effect priority to 14 points.
The so-called effect priority means that when two skills collide, if the skill effect is in a contradictory state, then the judgment will play a role on the side with the highest skill priority, and the greater the skill priority, the better the effect will be played.
Despicable healing has no priority for effect, and Psychic has a lower priority for effect. In contrast, the effect priority of the Vampire's Touch is as high as thirty points, and there are almost no equipment and skills at the same level to resist the special effects of this weapon, which shows that the value of this weapon is indeed not low. It's a pity that this is a difficult scenario world dominated by gunfights, and it is difficult for Shen Yi to play a role.
At this time, he still has 1,000 blood points left, which is considered to be a thing at the bottom of the box, and he will make the final targeted supplement when the task comes.
Thirty days of rigorous and disciplined training have passed in a flash, and the task prompt has finally arrived.
Tip: Head to the teleportation area now and get ready to enter the quest world.
Scenario: Operation Market Garden.
Preparation time: one hour.
This mission is a cooperative attack mode, and those who kill their own adventurers will not inherit the other party's property. Attacks allied adventurers, reducing damage by 50%.
Operation Market Garden was an airborne operation in World War II, and it was also the largest airborne operation in the history of human warfare.
Operation Market Garden was initiated by Montgomery, the famous British commander at the time.
By this time, the Allies had completed the Normandy landings, and the German forces had begun to retreat along the mainland to the Netherlands, Belgium and eastern France.
In an effort to end the war in 1944, Montgomery came up with a bold and adventurous plan, Operation Market Garden.
According to Montgomery's plan, after the British 2nd Army launched a ground attack on Antwerp, at the same time, the 35,000-strong airborne troops of the 101st Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st British Airborne Division and the Polish Paratroop Brigade used the "leapfrogging" tactic to parachute in Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Arnhem in the 63-mile battle depth to seize a series of important bridges over the Rhine and the Waal River.
So the operation is actually divided into two parts.
One: market operations, that is, airborne operations.
Two: Operation Garden, that is, ground forces operations.
The early days of this war can be said to have gone quite well. On September 17, 1944, Operation Market Garden began, and at 2:15 p.m., General Holox, commander of the 30th Army of the British Second Army, gave an order, and the subordinate Irish Praetorian Panzer Division made the first charge, and quickly advanced with strong firepower. Half an hour earlier, the U.S. 101st Airborne Division had landed in Eindhoven, and after a tough battle, they had succeeded in capturing the nearby South Williams Canal Bridge and capturing the town of Zongzhen.
On 18 September, the 30th Army reached Einhouwin, joined up with the 101st Airborne Division, and crossed the South Williams Canal Bridge.
On September 20, the 30th Army reached Nijmegen and joined up with the 82nd Airborne Division, which had taken the bridge over the Vaal River.
Major General Uquet's British 1st Airborne Division and the Polish Independent Paratrooper Brigade landed in Anheng, the farthest north of the 30th Army and the terminus of the 30th Army. The British 1st Airborne Division had to occupy the road bridge at Anheng and the railway bridge at Ustbik, including the Arnhem Bridge, which later became the most famous.
However, the 1st Airborne Division encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy, not only did they fail to take the extremely important Arnhem Bridge, but also suffered heavy casualties, and were defeated by the German army's frantic counterattack, and finally lost the last bridge of Anheng before the 30th Army arrived.
On 27-29 September, the British advanced to the south bank of the Lower Rhine, but were forced to go on the defensive and failed to capture the landing ground on the north bank. Until March 1945, the Rhine remained an impenetrable barrier between the Allies and the German mainland.
Operation Market Garden failed.
Honestly, the British 1st Airborne Division was already doing quite well, and due to the slow pace of ground forces, they had been holding out longer than expected. In this battle, the Polish paratrooper brigade suffered nearly 700 casualties among 1,000 officers and men, and the 1st Airborne Division suffered nearly 7,000 casualties and prisoners in this "market" operation, and in the end less than 2,000 people broke out of the German encirclement. One of the division's field commanders lamented the Arnhem Bridge, which they would never reach, "That bridge is too far away for us!"
Since then, the Arnhem Bridge has been known as the "Bridge of the Distance".
Due to the narrowness of the ground and the frenzied destruction of bridges by the retreating Germans, the speed of the Second Army's ground advance was greatly affected, which was an important reason for the failure of the battle plan. Route 69 from Vankensward to Nijmegen was later called "Hell's Highway" by Americans.
And now, what Shen Yi has entered is the scene world of the market garden action.
"Wow, it's time for the war-torn days. Thinking of this battle, Shen Yi couldn't help but want to whistle.
