Infinity Armament

Chapter 23 Operation Market Garden

The next day, Shen Yi even stayed in the slums.

After selling Dracula's blood, Shen Yi had 2239 bloody points left. After purchasing necessities, including sleeping bags, Shen Yi left 2,000 bloody spots.

Shen Yi kept the Wolf Tooth Ring for nothing and simply sold it to Hung Wang, gaining 300 points of blood.

Spend 1,300 Bloody Dots adding 5 more Physical, 8 more Spirit, so that his attributes become Power 4, Physical 20, Agility 7, Spirit 30, Will 10, basically using Ranged Attack as the main mode of combat. This is also the most practical option for newcomers once they enter a bloody city, relying on guns to complete their tasks while boosting their physical fitness before their abilities are greatly improved.

Shen Yi discovered that he hadn't seen anything yet, so he only had 1,000 bloody points left.

The next time, Shen Yi focused on shooting training. There is a low-level training ground in the Glades, where you can practice your firearms and skills every day, and a low-level training area, free of charge, can withstand any attack below 80 damage points.

The benefits of infinite bullets are demonstrated here, not only in combat, but also in training.

In addition to practicing guns, Shen Yi most importantly practiced mental probing and medical techniques on a daily basis in the training field.

After nearly 30 days of practice and use, Shen Yi's proficiency in firearms has greatly increased, but there is still a distance from advanced firearms expertise. Instead, psychiatric probes and despicable medical techniques were upgraded to level one.

After the Despicable Medical Technique upgrade, the system prompts: Despicable Medical Techniques - Skill Level 2, which consumes 2 points of mental strength at a time, treats trauma, bleeding injuries effectively, recovers 40 points at a time, and heals punctures, tears, shocks, and skill injuries moderately, recovering 24 points at a time. Minor healing for residual and toxin injuries, recovering 4 points at a time, is not effective against special attacks. Skill cooldown time is 60 seconds.

As for mental probing skills, the upgrade only improves the priority of skill effect, from the original 12 point effect priority to 14 point.

The so-called effect priority is that when two skills collide, if the skill effect is in a contradictory state, the judgment will play a role with the party with the higher skill priority, and the greater the skill priority perception, the better the effect will be.

Despicable medical techniques have no priority of effect, while psychiatric probes have a relatively low priority of effect. In contrast, the vampire touches have a priority of up to 30 points, and there is little equipment and skill at the same level to resist the effects of the weapon, which is certainly not of low value. Unfortunately, this is a tough scene world for gunfighters, and Shen Yi has difficulty making it work.

At this time, he still has 1,000 points of blood left, which is sort of the bottom of the box, until the task comes to make the final targeted supplement.

After thirty days of rigorous and self-disciplined training, the task tips finally arrived.

Tip: Proceed immediately to the transfer area and prepare to enter the mission world.

Mission Scenario: Operation Market Garden.

Preparation time: one hour.

This task is a cooperative offensive mode, killing the adventurer cannot inherit the property of the other party. Attack your adventurer and damage is reduced by 50%.

Operation Market Garden, an airborne operation in World War II, was also the largest airborne operation in the history of human war.

Operation Market Garden was proposed by then famous British commander Montgomery.

By then, the Allied Coalition had completed the Normandy landing campaign, and German forces had begun to withdraw along the mainland to the Netherlands, Belgium and eastern France.

In an effort to bring the war to a complete end in 1944, Montgomery presented a bold adventure plan - Operation Market Garden.

According to Montgomery's plan, after the British 2nd Army launched a ground offensive against Antwerp, together with 35,000 airborne troops from the 101st Airborne Division, 82nd Airborne Division, 1st Airborne Division of the British Army and the Polish paratroopers Brigade, the "Frog Jump” tactics were used to land three airbornes, Einhoven, Nijmegen and Arnham, at the depth of the 63-mile campaign, to seize the Rhine, a series of important bridges on the Val River, so that the army could drive all the way from the Netherlands straight into the German hinterland.

The operation is therefore divided into two parts.

I. Market operations, that is, airborne troop combat.

II: Operation Garden, that is, ground force combat.

On September 17, 1944, Operation Market Garden began, and at 2.15 p.m., General Horrocks, the 30th Army Commander of the British Second Army, ordered the first strike by the Irish Forbidden Armoured Division to move forward quickly with strong fire. Half an hour earlier, the 101st American Airborne Division had landed in Einhowen, and after a tough battle they had succeeded in capturing the nearby South Williams Canal Bridge and seizing the town.

On 18 September, the 30th Army entered Einhouwen and joined the 101st Airborne Division through the South Williams Canal Bridge.

On 20 September, the 30th Army arrived in Nijmegen to rendezvous with the 82nd Airborne Division, which took down the Val River Bridge.

Major General Ukute's British 1st Airborne Division and the Polish Independent Umbrella Brigade landed the farthest north of the 30th Army and also served as the terminal for the 30th Army march, Anheng. The British 1st Airborne Division had to occupy the road bridge in Anheng and the railway bridge in Ustbik, which also included the later most famous Arnham Bridge.

However, the 1st Airborne Division encountered the resilient resistance of the enemy, who not only failed to take down the extremely important Arnhem Bridge, but also suffered heavy casualties and defeated the German Army's mad counter-insurgency, eventually losing the last bridge of Anheng before the 30th Army arrived.

On 27 and 29 September, the British forces entered the southern bank of the Lower Rhine, but were forced into defense and were unable to seize the landing site on the northern bank. Until March 1945, the Rhine remained an insurmountable barrier between the Allies and mainland Germany.

Operation Market Garden failed.

By heart, Britain's First Airborne Division has performed fairly well and, owing to the slow pace of progress of its troops on the ground, they have been on the ground longer than expected. In this battle, the Polish paratroopers brigade lost nearly 700 troops and the 1st Airborne Division lost nearly 7,000 casualties and captured persons in this “market” operation, and only less than 2,000 people eventually broke out of the German perimeter. One of the division's field commanders moaned at the Arnham Bridge, which they could never reach: "That bridge is too far away for us! ”

The Arnham Bridge has since been referred to as a “distant bridge”.

The narrow ground, coupled with the wild destruction of bridges by the retreating Germans along the way, greatly affected the speed of ground propulsion of the Second Army, which was an important reason for the defeat of the operational plan. Highway 69, from Van Kensward to Nijmegen, was later referred to by Americans as the "Hell Highway”.

And now Shen Yi enters the scene world of Operation Market Garden.

“Wow, going to war days.” Thinking of this battle, Shen Yi couldn't help but whistle.
