Chapter 20: Bombing

At noon on the seventh day, the sixth offensive from the Germans finally began.

The rumbling sound of artillery began to resound over the town, and the whistling cannonballs made a long whining sound and landed on the British positions, blasting a large wave of air that hit the nerves of the soldiers. Everywhere there is a burning fire, and the dilapidated town begins another baptism of metal.

A large number of German soldiers poured in from all directions, and the sound of gunfire came and went, like the crackling of dry wood in the flames.

What is strange is that in this battlefield filled with gunpowder, although one building collapsed in the heavy bombardment, there are always some buildings that still stand on the ruins and hold on. The paratroopers relied on these ruins and fought fierce street battles with the enemy.

The previously destroyed roads had already been paved during 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. Known as the Molotov cocktail bottle, the Molotov cocktail was used on the battlefields of World War II, especially in urban street fighting. As long as such an incendiary bomb is thrown on the radiator of the tank engine, through which the burning liquid penetrates downward, it is possible to burn the engine. In addition, cluster grenades can blow up tank tracks. Many of the methods that were no longer usable in later generations were actually more useful than anti-tank weapons in this period, because they could be used off-the-shelf.

The paratroopers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion launched a death-defying charge against the German tanks.

Major Ralph took the lead and personally picked up a piat and went into a house with the soldier named Michelle, preparing to ambush the German tanks. Michelle climbed to the top floor to give Ralph directions, and when a Tiger tank rushed over, Ralph aimed at the side of the turret and opened fire, and the Tiger tank was destroyed instantly. But a second German tank spotted them and fired a shot at the house where they were hiding. Fortunately, Michelle reacted quickly and jumped off the roof in time, while Ralph was half-buried in broken bricks, thankfully he didn't die.

He lay down in the rubble and fired a second shell at the tank, which finally emitted billowing smoke and began to explode.

"Well done, Major!" called out Michelle.

"It's not pretty enough. Ralph replied coldly.

In the distance, on the top of the bell tower of Arnhem Cathedral, an adventurer is aiming a sniper rifle at the German soldiers below, shooting one at a time, hunting down the German soldiers with precision.

"One point of contribution, two points of contribution, three points of contribution, damn, Lao Tzu wants to contribute, Lao Tzu wants to be rewarded, Lao Tzu wants to be bloody. The adventurer muttered and kept pulling the trigger, and with each pull, a German soldier fell.

A tank slowly turned its turret and aimed its muzzle at the bell tower of Arnhem Cathedral.

The adventurer muttered hell and ran to the other side with his gun in hand.

Rumble!

Large clouds of white smoke rose from the barrels of the tanks, and the shells hit the bell tower of the cathedral.

Miraculously happened, the bell tower did not collapse because of this, but only opened a skylight by a strong impact. The adventurer choked on the ubiquitous dust and coughed, and crawled back into the sniper port.

He then noticed that the wall to the right of the bell tower had been blown down, and from here he could clearly see the battle below.

"!" the adventurer spat on the ground and re-raised his gun to aim at the Germans.

Bang! Bang!

At the other end of the town, Shen Yi, Hong Lang and a few others relied on the bunker to fire fiercely at the Germans, and they were like a sharp knife inserted into the German flank, frantically harvesting the lives of German soldiers. The benefits of the spirit musket infinite bullets were fully manifested at this time, and Shen Yi, who did not need to consider the stock of bullets, kept strafing outward, even if he shrank behind the bunker, he also held the gun in one hand and swept wildly, replacing the heavy firepower to form a suppressive effect. In particular, the fire damage attached to the Spirit Torch always brought a regional flame to burn, making it extremely difficult for the Germans to attack.

"Who's going to do it for me!" Shen Yi shouted: "My arm can't hold on!"

"I'm coming!" the flood roared and crawled over.

Shen Yi retracted his arm and threw the spirit torch to Hong Lang, who took it and swept at the Germans.

Shen Yi shrank behind the cover, tore off the clothes on his body, and found that his entire right arm was blue and swollen.

"You need to give yourself some strength. Hong Lang laughed and said, "The reaction force of your gun is not too great, I can use it to sweep for a day and a night." ”

"Then you can use it. Shen Yi said lightly.

"But I have a problem!"

"What?"

"You said I used your gun to beat the German devils, is this contribution yours or mine?"

King Kong shouted in the distance: "You used someone else's dick to shoot bullets at your own woman, and who do you say is responsible for the human life?"

Hong Lang was furious: "I () you, King Kong, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!"

Shen Yi and King Kong laughed at the same time.

Shen Yi peeked outside, then retracted his head and said, "There don't seem to be many tanks on this trip. ”

"About twenty. Gently replied.

"Strange, how did it get less? There were twenty-two more in the last round. Shen Yi was puzzled and said, "Isn't it that every time you fight more and more?"

"That's enough, you still want to fight more?" shouted Hong Lang.

Shen Yi ignored him, frowned and said to himself: "It can only be more and more fights, otherwise it is not in line with the principle of increasing the difficulty of the city, and I am still preparing to launch a group charge against us with hundreds of tanks in the last few days." ”

"I'm a madman!" Hong Lang scolded.

"I'm talking about the last day, but we've been delaying for three days, so it shouldn't be like that. Shen Yi replied, and he looked outside again: "But it shouldn't be like now." ”

The low sound of a motor in the sky woke up Shen Yi in thought.

Looking up at the sky, a few small black dots in the distance were rapidly approaching here.

"Hell!" Shen Yi shouted: "It's a bomber! The German bombers !! all lie down!! bombers are coming!"

――――――――――――――――

Three Stuka dive bombers were rapidly moving into the skies over Arnhem.

The pilot on board glanced at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and easily identified several positions for the British to counterattack. Pulling the joystick, Stuka begins to dive towards the ground, and the cannons rain out a large number of bullets in an instant, forming two long chains of bullets, pulling two narrow lines of death over the town.

The chain strafing was accompanied by a large number of fuel and explosive shells.

The three big iron birds in the sky were like laying eggs, and they dropped all the bombs in more than ten seconds, and when they looked up, the big iron bombs in the sky were smashing down one by one, and a series of roars were smashed, and rows of smoke were lifted on the ground.

Looking down on the battlefield from the perspective of the bomber pilot, it is a long line of smoke set off on the countless grid-like urban battlefields.

"G51 reported that all bombs had been dropped and requested to return. A German pilot made a request to return to headquarters.

A faint rustling sound came from the navigation station: "The return request is refused, observe the ground counterattack forces, and if necessary, use aviation cannons for ground blockade." ”

"Yes, sir. The German pilots put down their phones and circled the sky, ready to wait for the smoke to clear and re-enter the battlefield.

The roaring explosions almost deafened everyone's ears, and in fact the town of Arnhem has barely been clean these days.

Gunshots rang out all the time, the sound of bombs exploding was buzzing in my head, the vision was never clear, and the sky was clouded by smoke and dust.

Shen Yi and the others who crawled out of the dust shook their bodies, and the dirt on their bodies fell down.

Then the flood coughed loudly and came out of the dirt.

Then there's King Kong, who now looks like an orangutan.

In the end, there is gentleness, and the beautiful policewoman has become a clay doll, only a pair of eyes are still bright and clear.

"Hey, Shen Yi, is this what you're talking about more and more?" King Kong shouted.

"What did you say?" Shen Yi asked loudly with his ears pinched, he pointed to his ears: "I can't hear it, it's buzzing in my ears." ”

"I said this is what you said about more and more tanks?" King Kong roared.

"Oh. Shen Yi looked at the sky, and then replied: "It's not unusual for quantitative changes to cause qualitative changes! There will be more planes coming tomorrow." ”

"I'm starting to regret accepting the optional mission now! It's like standing on the edge of a cliff all the time, ready to fall at any moment!" Hong Lang shouted.

"This is a good thing, the iron and blood battle! After this battle, everyone's nerves should be tougher. If you are used to seeing dead people, you are not so afraid of death!" Shen Yi patted Hong Lang and said.

"I'd rather not do that!"

"It's a pity you don't have a choice!"

The smoke cleared slightly, and he gently looked at the sky with a telescope, and then shouted, "Three Stukas are flying back again!

Plopping, barrage strafing in the air, confirmed the gentle words with actions.

Everyone was beaten so that they couldn't lift their heads, Hong Lang was shot twice, and he screamed in pain: "Damn, I was shot!"

His bulletproof props had long since been used thirty times, and now he was actually starting to get shot and wounded.

The white light on Shen Yi's body also flashed, he lay on the ground and watched the plane pass overhead, and muttered, "They have no bombs, and they are strafing with machine guns." Gentle, how about the German soldiers?"

No response.

Shen Yi looked down, and saw Wen Rou lying motionless on the ground, and blood flowing out of his body was paralyzed.

"Gentle!" Shen Yi roared.

He quickly pounced on Gentleness and flipped it over, and there were three bloody holes in her body that were constantly bubbling out.

Shen Yi was in a hurry, hugged Gentle, held her in his arms, put his hand on her wound, and the healing technique was launched.

A warm current entered her gentle body, which seemed to stimulate her, and her body moved slightly.

"Gentle, hold on!" Shen Yi shouted.

Quickly took out another bottle of intermediate healing potion from the coat of arms, and Shen Yi poured it into his gentle mouth while activating the medical technique.

The medical technique combined with the potion quickly took effect, and the gentle eyes finally opened slowly.

Looking at Shen Yi's nervous expression, she smiled slightly and said in a weak voice: "There are no bulletproof props, Kevlar is a little unbearable, and two bullets hit the vital point...... It's bad luck. ”

Seeing that Gentleness was pulled back from the line of death, Shen Yi laughed.

The gentle wound was severe, but fortunately, the Intermediate Healing Potion worked. It's just that the massive blood loss just now made her face a little pale.

Three bombers roared across the sky, killing or seriously wounding at least dozens of British paratroopers in the attack. Everywhere people were calling Shen Yi, asking him to come and save people.

But Shen Yi didn't go over, looking at the bombers whistling in the sky, his eyes flashed fiercely.

Not far away was an abandoned German SUV with a Browning M2 heavy machine gun, an American invention that was supposed to have been captured by the Germans during the war. But now Shen Yi is more concerned about whether it can be used.

Shen Yi gently put down the gentleness: "You take a rest." ”

Then he stood up and walked towards the SUV.

"Shen Yi, are you crazy, get down!" Hong Lang shouted.

Shen Yi just didn't hear it.

He walked faster and faster towards the off-road vehicle, and accelerated into a state of wild running in an instant, like a lone wolf running wildly on the grassland, the sprint skill on the boots was activated, and the speed was strengthened by 100%, Shen Yi instantly increased his speed to the limit, and in a few ups and downs, Shen Yi jumped onto the off-road vehicle.

With the handle of an M2 heavy machine gun in both hands, Shen Yi quickly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the air, and the muzzle of the Wudongdong was aimed at the bomber that was roaring and diving in the sky, and a large number of bullets were pouring down wildly.

A Stuka bomber probably did not expect such a counterattack, and soon fell to the ground with black smoke.

The other two bombers climbed high at the same time, and the bullets from the heavy machine guns followed in pursuit.

Both bomber pilots, both experienced pilots, flew sideways to the sides at the same time, deflecting their bodies to avoid the horrific rain of bullets. One of the bombers, after dodging the shot, glided around in the air and turned around again, and the two aviation guns aimed at Shen Yi and launched a dive strafing fire.

The bullets fluttered and bounced on the ground, forming two regular craters, which stretched rapidly towards Shen Yi, and the heavy machine gun in Shen Yi's hand also spit out bullets at the same time, one person and one machine actually launched at the same time, and the trajectory left by the bullets when the bullets shuttled through the air everywhere in the air, the fire dragon danced wildly, and the terrible scream resounded in the ears.

The two bullet chains formed by the aviation cannon grazed Shen Yi's two ends, and a few bullets hit Shen Yi, jumping out of a fierce white light, Shen Yi didn't move, the M2 in his hand roared wildly, and a large number of bullet shells jumped out. The scene of this scene is like the scene of Neo strafing the building from a helicopter in the Matrix, countless bullet casings raining down towards the ground, bouncing out a touching and pleasant metal crisp sound, and the metal storm spewing from the muzzle of the gun slammed into the bomber, which directly tore the bomber in half.

The two halves of the bomber tumbled and fell in the air, smashing to the ground with a thunderous explosion that stunned all Germans.

The pilot of the last bomber saw that it was not good, turned around and flew back, and hurriedly fled the battlefield.

Shen Yi dropped the heavy machine gun, lit a cigarette for himself, and then jumped off the off-road vehicle and walked slowly towards his position.

Along the way, not a single German fired a gun at him.

They were all stunned.
