Infinity Armament

Chapter 24 Teamwork

A coalition of 1,131 fighter aircraft, 1,545 transport aircraft and 478 tow gliders took off from 24 airports in the south of the United Kingdom, flying along two routes towards the North Sea. The airborne soldiers were sweating on canvas seats, each wearing countless straps, straps, bullets… The confident Allied Staff Officers were optimistic about winning the battle.

Shen Yi slightly closed his eyes and sat in his position on a C-47 transport aircraft belonging to the first division of British Airborne. At this time, he was dressed as a standard British airborne soldier, wearing a British airborne uniform, a red beret on his head and an old World War II M1 rifle in his hand. All adventurer gear is still in the storage space of the Bloody Seal.

When he stepped into the portal, he found himself in this situation and looked around coldly. Twenty-two people on this transport plane, each with a bloody crest on their wrist, seemed to weave adventurers together in the city.

Is this a cooperative attack? Gather everyone together, then put them in a designated location for battle? Shen Yi observed the crest, the crest prompted:

Main Line Mission 1: Successfully landed in the town of Arnham. Complete the quest to award 500 Bloody Points. The mission failed by deducting 500 Bloody Points, and the Bloody Points were wiped out.

Main mission two: Break out of the German siege and head to the Arnhem Forest Area for a period of 12 hours. Complete the mission to reward 1000 Bloody Points. Mission failed by deducting 1,000 Bloody Points, and the Bloody Points are wiped out.

Main Line Task 3: Run out of the German encirclement to the Arnham Bridge for a period of 12 hours. Complete the quest for 1200 Bloody Points. Mission failed by deducting 1,000 Bloody Points, and the Bloody Points are wiped out.

Main Quests 2 and 3 are optional.

Optional Task One: Join the British First Airborne Division's main force to help the Airborne Division break through the German siege. Complete the mission to reward Bloody Point 2000 points.

Option two: Meet the British First Airborne Division 2nd Airborne Battalion and help the 2nd Airborne Battalion capture the Arnham Bridge for 10 days. Complete the quest to award 4000 Bloody Points and 1 Skill Point.

Only one of the two optional tasks can be started after completion of the main task, and you can give up accepting the optional task and return directly after giving up. Do not give up after accepting an optional task. During the course of the mission, the direction of the war and the identity of the parties shall not be revealed, the violators shall deduct 10,000 bloody points and the shortage of bloody points shall be wiped out.

Clearly, the direction in which the mainline task is selected directly determines the completion of the optional task. If you want to complete optional task two with the highest reward, you can only select Main Quest Three to complete. Thinking about it, Shen Yi's mouth twisted a little smile.

Suddenly there was a blast in my ear: "Damn it, I can't jump. ”

Hershey was a fat man next to Shen Yi. At this moment, she was crying and mourning and wondering what to do.

"You didn't learn to jump?" someone rejoiced. It only takes 50 bloody points to learn that, you don't have to upgrade it. ”

Fatty replied bitterly: "I didn't know what Operation Market Garden meant at first. I didn't know it was too late to learn until the end of the day, and I thought it would put us directly in the designated spot. ”

People looked at the fat man with sympathy, and some even said, "You don't even know the most famous military operation in World War II history since Normandy landed. What else do you know? ”

Shen Yi patted Fatty on the shoulder: “You don't have to be so nervous, it's not hard to jump out, just jump out and pull the umbrella bag, that's what you have, it's simple. Oh, no, no, not now. ”

“You promise you won't let me fall?” Fatty asked pathetically.

Shen Yi chuckled: “To be honest, even if you don't open your umbrella bag, your chances of falling dead will not exceed 50%. ”

Everyone's face changed all the time.

Someone said, “Boy, what do you mean? ”

Shen Yi smiled: “I know most of you have heard of Operation Market Garden, and this battle was a successful and late failure in the first period, so many people must think that at the beginning of the operation, there will be no difficulty, right? ”

Everybody look at each other.

Shen Yi slowly turned around and looked out the window of the transporter: “Look out, we are already entering over the Arnham area and the anti-aircraft fire is intensifying. ”

Outside the cargo plane, there was a massive blast of fire in the sky, as German anti-aircraft guns were being fired, launching heavy artillery attacks against a huge cluster of cargo planes. In the distance, a large number of German fighter jets have also flown towards the convoy of transporters, and it is estimated that shortly they will be involved with the formation of the escort fighter jets.

Shen Yi's voice fluttered like a ghost: “The so-called first period of operation of the market garden was smooth, but it was simply a cover for deception. The entire airborne operation was dominated by the three most important bridges that had been captured in Einhowen, Nijmegen and Arnham, and it was only known that the airborne troops had succeeded in taking down the bridges, but not how much damage they had suffered. In fact, the second bridge was not taken down by the airborne forces, but rather by ground forces when they arrived and the airborne troops were caught in two tracks. Throughout the operation, the German army lost only 3,300 casualties, while the Allied Coalition lost more than 17,000. Of these, 3400 were casualties in the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States and 3800 in the 101st Airborne Division. All the airborne soldiers who participated in Operation Market Gardens lost a great deal in this operation, and the biggest loss was the British First Airborne Division, the unit to which we now belong, the entire British 1st Airborne Division plus the Polish Parachute Brigade, which totaled 10,000 people and eventually left the battlefield less than 2,000 alive. The casualties of the airborne soldiers... It didn't start with a ground attack. ”

“Poor First Airborne...” Everybody sigh together.

500 bloody points is not that easy to earn. Essentially, the adventurers here are ordinary people, and no amount of reinforcement can stop the shells.

A large group of adventurers are depressed to scold people, but they can't help it.

To the butcher-like man, he said to Shen Yi: "Can you tell us about the market garden operation? The city gave us five assignments, three choices, two choices, one, and we wanted to hear about the Arnham Bridge, which might help us with the rest of the choices. We'll jump off the plane before we have time to figure out what's going on. I'm afraid we'll have to fight each other. It would be in everyone's interest to unify the following breakthrough directions. ”

I didn't expect the butcher-like man to have such a calm and agile thought, even Shen Yi couldn't help it.

Indeed, for reasons of optional tasks, adventurers are destined to choose different directional breakthroughs. If you can unify the direction of the breakthrough, you will be much safer.

Shen Yi looked out at the sky and said, “At most, we have three minutes before we are ready to jump. I'll be brief. The market garden operation was proposed by Marshal Montgomery, and from the outset there was a build-up of confidence, underestimation of the Germans, inadequate war readiness, inadequate enemy detection and insufficient synergies. As a result of intelligence errors, Montgomery had no idea that the Germans had deployed two armoured divisions of the SS 2nd Armoured Army and part of the 1st Army that had been airborne in areas where Allied forces were scheduled to land. The Allied air parachutes, which lacked heavy equipment, landed over German armoured troops, and the Allied forces carried out altitude parachute jumps, averaging 366-457 metres, much higher than the standard parachute jump altitude of 244 metres in World War II. German anti-aircraft guns continued to fire in the parachute jumping areas, many of whom were killed by the Germans before they reached the ground. Worse still, less than two hours after the Allied air raids, the Commander of the German 1st paratrooper regiment, Dordon, obtained an Allied combat order from a glider. He took the order to Group B headquarters to see Commander-in-Chief Modre and plan a German counter-attack. Among the German generals, Stodden is more familiar with the Netherlands than anyone else and understands the major shortcomings of the airborne forces - such as the lack of mobility on the ground and the lack of heavy weapons. Finally, Modal chose an area where Ahn Heng was part of the SS armoured unit, and Ahn Heng was the ultimate target of the British 1st Airborne Division. ”

“Damn it! ”

“Stupid! ”

Everyone tasted the smell of death from Shen Yi's last sentence and finally couldn't bear to curse.

“Tell me about the Arnham Bridge.” The butcher continued.

“Britain's first airborne division did not make a smooth landing, in fact they were forced to jump early because of strong German aerial artillery fire, and most of them fell into a small forest far from Arnham, where the Germans were besieged. A small fraction of them broke through the line of defense and approached the Arnham Bridge, the second airborne battalion of the British First Airborne Division. They were the first to enter the city of Anam and occupy the northern section of the Anam Bridge, but gradually they were surrounded by SS armoured units and left in complete isolation. The battalion, led by battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Frost, fought a deadly battle with the Germans until 20 September. Lieutenant Colonel Frost led most of the wounded to surrender to the Germans, who accepted their surrender in order to avoid unnecessary casualties. But the remainder of the second airborne battalion, led by Major Ralph, refused to surrender and continued firing at the Germans, and German“ tiger ”tanks immediately began bombarding them. On 21 September, the" tiger ”tanks destroyed the last wall on which the remainder of the second airborne battalion was guarded, taking full control of the Anam bridge. Since then, the Allied Coalition forces have been unable to approach the Arnham Bridge until two months later, when all trapped troops were finally rescued. ”

“A completely dead mission, Montgomery that idiot.” Someone complained.

“I never liked him.” There are other interfaces.

Twenty-two adventurers aboard this transport plane were equally hated for Montgomery at this moment.

The fat man next to him asked, “How can you remember so clearly? ”

“The mission gave me an hour to prepare for what I was looking at. ”

“Nor can that be remembered so clearly. ”

“My master's memory.” Shen Yi Cold Road.

“Can memory also be enhanced? Why haven't I heard? ”

Someone on the other side knocked Fatty's head off: “Dumb, he's teasing you. Basically, the stronger you are, the dumber you are. ”

“Haha.” Everyone laughed.

The butcher-like man smiled bitterly: "No wonder 4,000 bloody rewards are given. Shit, we have to fight tiger tanks. What did you say? North or south? ”

To the north is to occupy the Anam Bridge, to the south is to rescue the main forces of the 1st Airborne Division. Obviously, it's a matter of choice.

“I chose to go north.” Shen Yi: “Whatever you want. ”

“This kid's got a lot of nerve.” Someone muttered.

“I've seen this kid, a newbie, and I've heard that the rookie's mission has not gone far enough and seems to have killed Dracula the vampire.” Someone suddenly interjected a sentence.

The others looked at each other in disdain: "How is that possible? ”

Everyone muttered in ears, but Shen Yi just smiled slightly and took the gear from the bloody crest.

“Oh, my God, a rifle, an infinite cartridge, bulletproof jade, and a Kevlar vest. This guy's rich.” Someone startled to believe that Shen Yi had indeed accomplished a high-level task, otherwise it would not have been possible to afford these things. Everyone looked at Shen Yi for a while. If this wasn't a cooperative offensive scene, people would have done something wrong with Shen Yi. Of course, success is another matter.

“May I ask why you chose to go north? I don't believe you're just looking for a high reward.” The butcher-like giant once again asked a question that surprised Shen Yi.

Shen Yi looked at the strong man and smiled: “My name is Shen Yi, what is your name? ”

“The name doesn't make sense in this place. Call me Vajra. That's what they call me. ”

Shen Yi nodded, and the strong man did deserve the title: “If you look at the hints on the crest, you will find that the first optional task is to assist the First Airborne Division in highlighting the surroundings. Do you have any idea when the First Airborne Division came to prominence? ”

“It won't be two months later, will it?” Vajra immediately realized what Shen Yi meant.

Shen Yi nodded: “That forest area has the main force of the first airborne division, so Germany's besieging forces are also the largest. And while the situation at Camp 2 is dangerous, the fact is that the Germans do not need too many troops to deal with them because the airborne battalion and the airborne division forces are separated. Their real offensive center of gravity remains the primary force of the First Airborne Division. And we, if we choose the First Airborne Division mission, can be sure that in the face of strong German artillery fire and tidal offensives, with our current reinforcement, we can hardly play a role. But if we go to the Arnham Bridge, even if we are weaker, the advanced weapons in our hands alone can greatly help the 2nd airborne battalion, and the combat power of both sides can make a bigger difference than the 1st airborne division. In other words, going to the Arnham Bridge, our variables work even better. ”

The people suddenly realized. Someone immediately said, "So the chances of survival to the Arnham Bridge are higher than the chances of survival to save the First Airborne? ”

I didn't expect Shen Yiyi to shake his head: “No, the survival rate of the First Airborne Master is still greater. It should be remembered that the first airborne division in history eventually escaped 2,000 men, while the second airborne battalion was largely completely destroyed. ”

“That is, if we choose to save the First Airborne Division, the task will be accomplished in any case, and the difference lies only in whether we can survive on our own. And if you go to the bridge, you don't know for sure, the Arnham Bridge could be taken down, or it could be taken down for just a few more days, right? ”

“Yes.”

“If so, I'd rather go south. ”

Shen Yi sneered: “How many days of food did you bring? Enough for two months? Do you have any idea how the first British airborne man spent two months under siege? Shit, grassroots bark! Many people die of starvation at all, or from injuries that are not treated in a timely manner. How many of you have unlimited ammunition? What are you eating at the last minute? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Yi: “Before everyone came in, nobody knew what the task was, and I don't think many people were ready for a long battle. Someone who wants to die there for two months and eventually rush out, just go. Anyway, I'm not going, so I took the food for ten days, and I only went to the Arnham Bridge. By the way, don't forget, this is a cooperative offensive scenario. The more people you have, the higher your success rate. For me personally, the difficulty of the Arnhem Bridge is half reflected in the fact that not many adventurers have chosen to attack the Arnhem Bridge on their own initiative, and as long as that problem is solved, the task has been half successful. ”

Kong laughed: “No wonder you're so kind to tell us this. ”

Shen Yi immediately replied: "Yes, I need to use the power of all of you to tell you this. I believe that those who do not have the courage to face the death challenge do not necessarily have the confidence to complete the optional tasks, even if they have completed the main task. After all, the airborne division suffered heavy casualties there, losing three quarters of its soldiers. No one can guarantee that they will live to the end by choosing the first option. But we chose to make the breakthrough north, and at least we could share the risk with each other, much easier. If you don't want to take risks after completing the main task, you can choose to regress. If you're willing to take risks, stay and continue. Isn't that good for all of us? ”

Speaking of which, the audience looked at each other in opposition.

Finally, King Kong's first nod: "Good boy, not only daring, but also brainy. All right, I'll do it. After everyone jumped, we made a breakthrough north together. After completing the main mission, we returned if we were afraid of dying, and we continued if we were not afraid of dying. How's it going?”

“It's settled! ”
