All the adventurers gathered around Shen Yi.

King Kong asked Shen Yi, "What's the matter again?"

Shen Yi pointed at the bloody heraldice: "Let's look at this, how much time is left on it?"

King Kong looked down for a moment and replied, "Nine days and ten hours." ”

Shen Yi snapped his fingers: "It's ten o'clock in the evening, we landed at eight o'clock last night, and completed the task at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and then the optional mission starts eight hours in advance, so the official mission start time is eight o'clock this morning, am I right?"

"So what?"

"That is to say, the process of taking the bridge is also counted in the mission time. In other words, our optional task is not to hold the bridge for ten days, but to include the two processes of snatching and holding the bridge at the same time, which add up to a total of ten days, as for how to distribute it, it is not a matter of concern to the city, it only requires that the bridge be under our full control after ten days. In other words, we can choose to take the bridge today and hold on for 10 days, or we can choose to take the bridge after a few days, am I right?"

The other adventurers looked at each other, and none of them understood what Shen Yi meant by this.

This time, even King Kong was a little confused: "Is there any difference between taking the bridge today and taking the bridge in a few days?"

"Yes!" Shen Yi replied very seriously: "And there is a very important difference." ”

He looked at everyone: "The difference is that the sooner we take the bridge, the sooner we will face the reinforcements and counterattacks of the Germans! I think you should all understand that the longer the enemy is given, the greater the pressure on us to hold the bridge." ”

As soon as the words fell, a cannonball let out a sharp whistle and landed not far from Shen Yi's meeting point, exploding with a bang.

Everyone collectively lay on the ground, and Hong Lang let out a loud cry, pointing to the crater in the distance: "Look at that, do you think we have little pressure to survive now?"

"Compared to the pouring of ten shells per second, the current situation is just a child's play!" Shen Yi shouted and turned around, and the spirit musket fired a shuttle outward, killing a German soldier.

Shen Yi's meaning is simple and clear.

Once the Arnhem Bridge was captured by the adventurers, the Germans would launch a frantic counterattack to regain the bridge. Reinforcements will continue to come, planes, artillery and tanks will take turns bombarding Arnhem, and the longer the time drags on, the more German soldiers will counterattack the bridge, and the more difficult it will be.

This optional mission in Bloody City looks easy on the surface, but behind it lies a deadly trap. Once the adventurers arrive at the bridge and attack desperately, desperately trying to take the bridge with a lot of attrition, then they will face ten days of endless frenzied attacks by the Germans.

In contrast, the current situation is much better.

The Arnhem Bridge was under the joint control of the British and Germans, and the Germans did not have to rush to call for reinforcements as long as they did not drive the Germans away from the bridge for a day. The pressure on adventurers is not so heavy.

So this time period is actually the most relaxing time period for adventurers.

As soon as Shen Yi told him about this situation, everyone finally understood what he meant, and they all admired this guy's cautious thinking.

Under the fire of the Germans, King Kong asked loudly: "Then you mean that we are going to delay the task of taking the bridge back and extend this safety period?"

He bites the word "security period" very hard, and it is clear that he does not consider the current situation to be a security situation.

But Shen Yi nodded very seriously.

"Are you sure that the German reinforcements must be beyond our reach?" shouted the flood wave, and the Germans' bullets were erupting so wildly that he couldn't even lift his head.

Shen Yi lay on the ground and spread out the map: "You see, the Germans are stationed in the Anheng area, there are two SS armored divisions, that is the elite troops of Hitler, there are large Tiger tanks, in addition to an airfield in that area, I don't know how many planes there are, but I am sure that the number will not be too small." At present, only a small part of Anheng's heavy troops are at the Arnhem bridgehead, and the other troops are either used to encircle and annihilate the main force of the First Airborne Corps, or to defend other places. One of the closest troops to Arnhem took only four hours to reach Arnhem Bridge as quickly as possible. And the farthest troops will only need twelve hours to arrive. They are not coming to fight us now because they do not need to send more troops to deal with a small force. But if we take the bridge, then they will go crazy in a hurry...... That is, from the moment we officially take control of the situation, the Germans will know the news, and then what awaits us will be wave after wave of frantic counterattacks by the Germans. According to the principle that the attacker's strength will increase in strength and become stronger in waves, we may eventually face an all-out attack by an entire armored division with hundreds of tanks! Our optional task is not to seize but to defend!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Hong Lang muttered: "No wonder this mission even gave the team a reward, damn, it's so dangerous behind the relationship, it's a hidden trap." ”

"That's right. King Kong also nodded: "I said that this mission can't be so simple." ”

This quest in Bloody City is indeed a trap, and it is a very flexible trap that fully takes into account the strength factor of the adventurer. If the strength of the adventurers is strong, then they are likely to take the bridge on the first day, and they will face a full ten days of counterattack. If the adventurers are not strong enough, they may have to drag on for several days to take the bridge, and as a result, the counterattack will be slightly weakened.

But if someone can spot this trap, then they can cleverly control the time to grab the bridge, thus reducing the difficulty, and the city is clearly accepting of this opportunistic behavior. Perhaps in the eyes of the bloody city, wisdom is also part of strength.

"When is the best time to start grabbing the bridge?" one adventurer asked.

"Of course, the later the better, but the question is......" Shen Yi looked at the confident Frost battalion commander, and then said helplessly: "Will he accept it?"

yes, will Frost take it?

Among the orders he received, the Arnhem Bridge should not only be taken, but the sooner it should be taken, the better. Montgomery was confident that his troops would be able to quickly pass through the heavily fortified German area and complete the feat of crossing the Rhine.

Whether Frost himself believed in Montgomery or not, as a good officer, he could only unconditionally obey and carry out the orders of his superiors.

So no matter what Shen Yi said, he would not accept a temporary halt to attacking the bridge.

What's more, there is also a bloody city that is secretly influencing everything.

This is also what makes Shen Yi feel helpless, he can see where the problem is, but he can't solve the problem. Because the Bloody City can allow him to cheat, but it can't allow him to rely on tricks to get by.

Now everyone is a little panicked. Once the bridge is taken tonight, they will surely face a frantic counterattack by the German Panzer Division for the next nine days. Will their ammunition supply last so long?

No matter how advanced their weapons were, none of them, except for Shen Yi, had unlimited ammunition. Even if they have bulletproof props, how many waves of enemy bullets can they block? Even if they have strengthened abilities, what role can they play in these years when bullets are raining down and artillery is flying?

Hong Lang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty: "You have to try, don't you?"

Looking at Shen Yi with hopeful eyes, Shen Yi sighed.

He walked towards Frost.

Soon, Shen Yi and Frost had a fierce argument, and it didn't take long for Shen Yi to come back with a gloomy face.

He refused to suspend the seizure of the bridge, nor did he believe that the Allies could not arrive in ten days, and damn it I still couldn't tell him how many German troops there were, and he still thought that there was no more than an infantry regiment in this area. ”

"I knew it was. "King Kong is not surprised by this at all.

"Then what should we do now?" asked Shen Yi gently.

Shen Yi stared at the German fortifications on the south bank of the Rhine for a long time before finally saying, "Drag ...... Delay as much time as possible. From now on, you should stop using your own weapons to attack the Germans, take off all the bulletproof props, put on body armor, and treat him if he is wounded, and try to save some resources. ”

"How long can it be delayed?"

"Drag it out as long as you can!" Shen Yi said categorically.

In the following time, the adventurer squad fell into a collective "downturn". They no longer showed the same bravery as they had on the first day. However, perhaps because everyone's performance was too good on the first day, the German soldiers had been paralyzed by intimidation, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so that the 2nd Airborne Battalion was still in the upper hand stage of the battle.

Every time they saw the British paratroopers advancing a minute, the adventurers felt a little 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, and the British paratroopers were steadily advancing, advancing every hour.

In fact, if the bridge is not taken immediately, the German attack will not be too violent, but when you are really on the battlefield, you will feel that nothing is worse than now, watching the cannonballs flying in the sky, the fire flaring, and the whole world like hell.

It's good for adventurers to be able to control themselves in this environment, and what to do about controlling the rhythm of the entire battle, they can only try to work as hard as possible and slow down the pace of victory in battle.

Fortunately, the last desperate resistance of the Germans was indeed not easy to deal with, and 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 used the excuse of combat fatigue, inability to activate special functions, and need time to rest, which made Frost helpless.

The success dragged on overnight, and the next day the adventurers continued to slack off.

This time, the level of their sabotage is even more outrageous, and they simply play the trick of illness one by one, with more excuses than the authors who broke off the starting point. Intestinal pain, stomach pain, and head pain abound, and Shen Yi spread his hands, claiming that this was the result of too many special functions, and his special functions only treated injuries but not diseases.

Frost could only stare at the adventurers' behavior but could not speak, and when he returned to the walkie-talkie, he called out again: "Air support is needed! Air support is needed!" He didn't even want to mention the special operations team.

However, no matter how much the adventurers delayed, the balance of victory in the battle had begun to tilt in favor of the British paratroopers, and no longer shifted according to the will of the people. And the adventurer can not work, Shen Yi can't not help - he can't watch the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion die, and the people who should be saved will still be saved. Emotionally speaking, they are comrades-in-arms, and in terms of interests, they are both bloody and combative, and it is good to save one more.

The reduction in combat casualties has made the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion more and more courageous in combat, and they are already elites, and their combat effectiveness has become stronger and stronger.

Never before have adventurers hated their allies for being so powerful.

The battle lasted for a day, and the Germans retreated, and by noon on the third day of the battle, the 2nd Airborne Battalion had completely controlled the entire bridge deck, but when they were about to reach the bridgehead, they were waiting for them with a reinforced concrete pillbox with an armored vehicle next to it.

There was originally one such bunker in the northern section of the bridge, and Frost took it with his human life, but this time he didn't want to do it again in the face of another bunker.

He ran to Shen Yi's side and shouted, "My friend, do you see that bunker? I need your kind of weapon that can fight tanks, help me blow it down!"

Shen Yi replied: "I'm sorry I can't agree to your request." ”

"Why?"

"Because I don't have enough ammo, I have to save some. Shen Yi replied.

"What does it matter? just take that bunker and the bridge will be ours! Frost exclaimed. He couldn't understand why Shen Yi was so opposed to taking the bridge that he didn't hesitate to make those small moves in secret.

Did he think he couldn't see it?

"It's a shame I don't think so. Shen Yi replied. Frost would never have believed that Montgomery's main forces on the ground had never reached Arnhem. In other words, the 2nd Airborne Battalion could never wait for their main forces.

Frost said to Shen Yi very seriously: "I know that you still want me to postpone taking the bridge, but my friend, as a soldier, it is our duty to carry out orders, and it is our glory to die on the battlefield." We are not afraid of the strength of the enemy, nor of the death that may come. No matter what obstacle stands in our way, we will have the courage to crush it!"

"Do you know how many of my soldiers have died in the past two days? more than forty. They could have died so much, if you and your buddies were willing to actually do it. But they did not complain, because it is our duty to kill the enemy, or to be killed by the enemy. ”

Frost pointed to the bunker in the distance: "Now, I can have my men storm that bunker, I'm sure I can take it, but a lot of people will die." You can't stop my attack, but you can make my fighters die less. I look forward to your decision. ”

Frost's words, sincere, serious, persistent.

Shen Yi looked at Frost in a daze, and at that moment he could see the firm determination in the eyes of the lieutenant colonel battalion commander.

This is a real warrior!

A soldier who loves to nurse soldiers, but also is loyal to his duty.

He couldn't keep putting it off like this.

After thinking about it, Shen Yi said: "My partner and I are already very tired, and we have hardly rested until the battle, we need to sleep." ”

"Take that bunker and you can get what you want. After that, you can sleep however you want. ”

"I'm afraid we won't have time to sleep by then. Frost, give me another day, tomorrow I promise to take that bunker for you, this is the last condition!" Shen Yi said resolutely: "Just one day!"

Frost glanced at Shen Yi deeply, and he finally nodded: "Okay, I agree to your conditions." But tomorrow you must help us take that bunker with your buddies. ”

After successfully getting a day, Shen Yi let out a long breath, and he 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 abandoned the attack when victory was imminent, they obeyed the order.

Shen Yi let out a long breath, he didn't expect that after he had the command authority to command the 2nd Airborne Battalion, his first order would be to let everyone sleep.

Day 4, early in the morning.

Shen Yi called the adventurer with the flashing boots, whispered a few words to him, called a few more airborne battalion soldiers, and then pointed to the bunker in front of him, and the soldiers and adventurers immediately understood.

Moments later, several soldiers of the airborne battalion bent over the front of the bridge to attract the attention of the Germans, tongues of fire erupted from the bunker, and the only remaining armored vehicle of the Germans let out a merciless roar. The bullets rained down on the unsheltered soldiers, and several of them reacted quickly as they lay down and tumble back behind the fortifications. At the same time, the adventurer's Leap Boot skill was activated, and he suddenly teleported above the bunker, and the portable flamethrower in his hand rolled out a fire dragon and rolled towards the bunker, and the terrified screams of German soldiers were heard from inside the bunker.

At the same time, he pulled out a grenade and stuffed it into the armored car next to him, and with a bang, the armored car and the pillbox were muted at the same time.

Several German soldiers with their hands behind their heads came out of their bunkers, and soldiers from the 2nd Airborne Battalion swarmed up and shot them to death.

The last fortress that should have cost at least dozens of lives to take was easily conquered by them.

Shen Yi said to Frost: "Congratulations, lieutenant colonel, the bridge has been fully taken. ”

There was no smugness on his face.
