Chapter 22 Medal of Honor
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sky was clear without a cloud.
Shen Yi stood under the blue sky, looking up at the sky with his neck up.
The sunlight made him hard to open his eyes, but he still looked at the sky stubbornly, refusing to bow his head.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?" Rourou walked over and hit him with the butt of the light machine gun with the class in his hand.
"Look at the weather, it's a good weather again." Shen Yi muttered.
"So what?" Rourou didn't understand what's so good about the weather.
"A Dutchman was listening to the radio yesterday. The weather station said that it will rain today, and it will be a heavy rainstorm. Does the weather look like it will rain?"
Rou also looked up, then shook her head: "This is impossible."
"The meteorological station generally rarely reports errors in weather like torrential rain. But this time the error was outrageous. Don't you think it's strange?" Shen Yi raised his neck sorely, and finally lowered his head.
"what do you mean……"
Shen Yi walked to the road, casually took the binoculars in Wenrou's hand, and put it on the bridge of his nose to look into the distance: "Because the city does not allow it. If there is a heavy rain, the German attack will be greatly affected. Our last day, It will be very easy…”
"You mean that the German offensive is completely under the control of the city?"
"Yes. If this is a game, then the city is the GM, and the GM has been manipulating the progress of the game." Shen Yi returned the binoculars to Rourou: "It's nine o'clock in the morning, and there are still twenty-three hours before the mission ends. Hours. The Germans haven't come yet, judging from the interval between each attack, they should have launched an attack an hour ago. But until now, we haven't even seen their ghost."
"Shouldn't this be a good thing?" Hong Lang and King Kong strode forward.
"Before the bombers appeared, didn't you also think that fewer tanks were a good thing?" Shen Yi replied.
King Kong immediately realized the meaning of Shen Yi's words: "You mean, the city deliberately delayed the German attack, not because it wanted to help us, but because the upcoming final offensive would be very powerful?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Shen Yi frowned: "The city is so powerful that we have to worry that we won't be able to stop this wave of attacks, so we postponed the attack time."
"Damn it, you don't really have to transfer both tank divisions here?" Hong Lang curled his lips.
"Normally, it shouldn't be. Judging from the previous attack waves, the city has been controlling its offensive strength and increasing it in an orderly manner. This shows that our previous predictions are correct. The sooner the bridge is captured, the later the German attack will be faced. The stronger it will be. But today is the last day, I am afraid that the practice of orderly increase will no longer be followed. In other words, a large-scale attack is inevitable. I just don’t know to what extent.”
Just as Shen Yi finished speaking, the bloody crests on everyone's hands suddenly dinged at the same time.
Bloody coat of arms reminder: The German offensive will start at 2:00 pm. This attack is the last attack, hold this round of attack until the end of the remaining time, the bridge is not lost, and the task is completed.
In this attack, the German army will dispatch 25 bombers, 60 tanks, 120 self-propelled artillery, and 1,500 soldiers. All adventurers, please be prepared.
"Damn! Bastard!" Seeing this prompt, all the adventurers blew up their nests and rushed over, shouting, "What do you mean by city? Twenty-five bombers, sixty tanks, One hundred and twenty self-propelled guns, does this fucking keep people alive? It makes us all commit suicide!"
Hong Lang was also in a hurry.
This time the offensive force is so large that it can destroy an infantry division in one go. With the hundreds of guns of the 2nd Airborne Battalion and the remaining 15 adventurers, and two of them have no combat effectiveness, what can be used to stop it?
Even Shen Yi was stunned.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that the last wave of attack would be so huge and crazy, and the strength of the troops had increased tenfold.
Where is this still an initial difficulty task? It was clear that they were treated as senior adventurers.
"It's unreasonable!" Shen Yi shook his head again and again: "How could it be like this? It's unreasonable to be so powerful, there's no way to stop it. Hong Lang!"
Shen Yi rushed over and grabbed Hong Lang's neck and asked severely: "Didn't you say that Bloody City never gives missions that require death?"
Hong Lang shouted: "How do I know? All I know is what those senior adventurers said. It was they who said that the bloody city never gives missions that must be killed. As long as you are careful enough, there is always a way to pass!"
"You said there is always a way?" Shen Yi asked sharply.
"Yes!" Hong Lang shouted.
Shen Yi slowly let go of Hong Lang, he nodded: "I hope what you said is true, if this is the case, it can explain why the city has notified us of the final German attack five hours in advance, and even Tell us the specific strength of the Germans. It is to give us time to think, prepare, and solve this problem. If this is the case, there should be a way, just to see if we can find it."
"What way?" Hong Lang asked anxiously.
Shen Yi spread his hands irresponsibly: "I don't know, everyone should brainstorm. Before the Germans launch a formal attack, if we can't come up with a solution to the problem, I'm afraid we will only have a dead end."
Time is passing by every minute, and everyone is thinking hard about how to complete this seemingly impossible task.
Shen Yi sat on the hood of the tank, smoking one cigarette after another, his brows were already wrinkled into a word of Sichuan.
Ruan ran over and sat down beside him and asked him, "Did you think of any way?"
Shen Yi shook his head, this action gave Wen Rou a chill in his heart.
Shen Yi said: "However, there is a question that makes me feel a little strange, maybe I can find an entry point."
"What?" Gentle asked.
Shen Yi didn't answer, he dusted off the cigarette ash, and then shouted: "King Kong!"
King Kong came over with big strides: "What? What did you think of?"
"Not yet, but there is one thing that I can't figure out. Have you noticed that... the configuration of the offensive force this time is a bit strange?"
King Kong nodded: "I also thought of this question just now. In the final attack, the scariest thing was not the tanks, not the planes, but the one hundred and twenty artillery pieces. This number is too scary."
"But that's the problem. Anheng is stationed by two tank divisions. It's not unusual to say that they have artillery, but it's strange to say that artillery is the main force. After all, they are not artillery divisions."
"what do you mean……"
Shen Yi waved his hand: "I always think this is the key. The city must have left something for us, and these one hundred and twenty cannons are an obvious clue."
King Kong thought for a while and nodded: "Tell me your opinion."
"When I was studying in the past, I often liked to read books on war. I remember a general who said this: A defense without the ability to counterattack is a defense doomed to failure, because you can only be pressed by the enemy. When defending, Seizing the critical moment to counterattack can sometimes have good results."
Ruan Rou and King Kong looked at each other, Hong Lang and other adventurers also heard Shen Yi's words, and surrounded them one after another.
Someone shouted: "Brother Shen, what do you mean, the opportunity given by the city this time is actually a counterattack? But how do we counterattack?"
"Kill their artillery." Shen Yi replied decisively.
"How? That's one hundred and twenty gates."
"I don't know either." Shen Yi spread his hands helplessly: "I only know that this should be the key to the problem, but I don't know how to solve it."
It is always much easier to ask questions than to solve them. In this matter, Shen Yi also has no idea this time.
Instead, her gentle eyes lit up.
She said: "I remember that in the history of World War II, there was such a real case. Once the German army and the US army had an artillery battle. In order to hit the opponent faster and harder, the Germans pulled all their shells into the artillery. On the forward position. At that time, the American artillery position was already on the verge of being defeated. In the end, no one knew who misplaced a cannon. There was a big explosion. Not to mention all the artillery shells were blown up, and dozens of artillery pieces were also blown up, killing hundreds of German soldiers. As a result, the battle ended with a complete victory for the U.S. military.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
Someone shouted: "You mean that this time the Germans may also pull all their artillery and ammunition directly to the forefront? Let's repeat the real history of World War II?"
"There is a possibility." Shen Yi immediately called out: "The city will not give us clues, nor will it give us too obvious clues, will not give us a chance to survive, and will not give us too easy to survive. Opportunity. So in terms of probability, this may be very large. And considering the mentality of the Germans, they really don’t have to worry about being counterattacked by us.”
"But what if it's not?"
Shen Yi spread his hands: "Traps and opportunities are sometimes the same thing."
This made sense, and everyone fell into deep thought.
King Kong thought about it for a while: "Shen Yi, then you mean to take the initiative to attack and blow up the ammunition depot of the Germans?"
Shen Yi nodded: "We have no other choice."
Gentlely asked: "Then who will do this?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone fell silent.
Everyone knows that to destroy the artillery position is definitely a mission of a narrow escape, but it is operating under the noses of the Germans.
Shen Yi's gaze scanned all the adventurers, and everyone bowed their heads and counted their toes.
Shen Yi smiled: "Since none of you want to go, then I will go."
Everyone is stunned.
Hong Lang roared: "You kid, are you really desperate? Going to charge the German artillery positions alone?"
Shen Yi asked back: "If you can really blow up the ammunition depot and kill some artillery, how much contribution do you think the city should give me?"
Hong Lang's face immediately collapsed: "Brother, you want money too much, don't you?"
King Kong also said: "Brother, listen to me, you'd better stop doing this, and let someone who has the ability to escape do it."
Shen Yi said coldly: "This matter can only be voluntary. You can't force anyone to do a task like sending someone to die. Even if you force it, you can't complete the task. Since no one is voluntary, I can only take the lead .”
"I'll go with you." Gentle cried.
Shen Yi's expression changed: "Don't come to join in the fun."
Gently sneered: "You need me to do reconnaissance for you."
"It's also needed here."
"But there is room for failure here, but there is no room for you...you have to succeed once!" Gentle's attitude was firm.
Wen Rou is quite right, since there are only one or two people who are going to carry out the task of blowing up the artillery positions, they will basically not allow any omissions. Gentle reconnaissance ability can bring great convenience to Shen Yi, allowing him to consider all changes as much as possible during the execution of the mission.
Shen Yi nodded helplessly: "Okay then, who else wants to go with me?"
Just as King Kong was about to speak, Shen Yi stopped him: "King Kong, you must stay here. This is the main position, and someone must command it. I'm not here. It's up to you to lead everyone through this test."
Just as King Kong was about to say something, Shen Yi had already leaned into King Kong's ear: "I can't trust any of these adventurers except you. I need you to help me protect Fatty Fatty. What kind of reward can I get from going through life and death? It fell on him."
He punched King Kong in the chest, King Kong was slightly stunned, and finally nodded with a smile: "Okay, if everyone can go back alive this time, no matter what reward you get, everyone here owes you favors."
Hong Lang sighed: "In this case, Shen Yi, I'll go too."
"No, you stay too, Wen Rou and I are enough." Shen Yi leaned into Hong Lang's ear as he spoke, "Please, a large group of men, just such a beautiful woman, do you really want to snatch it from me?"
Hong Lang stared blankly at Shen Yi, of course he knew that this was just Shen Yi's excuse, including the entrustment to King Kong, which was also an excuse. Although it is possible for the fat man to help Shen Yi increase the rewards, it is only possible.
He gave Shen Yi a thumbs up: "Stop talking, I know you are very loyal, you guys go, as long as the artillery can't show its power, I guarantee that nothing will happen to this bridge."
"Twenty-five bombers, sixty tanks, and 1,500 German soldiers, don't put it lightly, of course we took risks in the past, and you are here... It may not be easy." Shen Yi said coldly. Even if a large number of cannons are successfully killed, the remaining attack power is still three times the previous attack power. Of the thirteen adventurers here, half of them will survive. Shen Yi didn't care about the others, Hong Lang and King Kong, Shen Yi didn't want anything to happen to them.
Thinking of this, he whispered to King Kong: "Use your power when it's time to use it. Now you are the leader here, and Hong Lang is your deputy. If you have a dangerous mission, you can send someone else. If you dare not listen, you can't." It’s okay to kill, let Frost do it. As long as the bridge is okay, you two and Fatty don’t die, and the others don’t care too much. I will say hello to Frost and ask him to fully support you.”
King Kong replied in a low voice: "I knew you were not a good person."
Shen Yi chuckled, squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Thank you for the compliment, you and Hong Lang take care of yourself."
"rest assured."
The matter was settled like this, and the matter of going to attack the artillery position officially fell on the shoulders of Shen Yi and Wen Rou.
Before leaving, Frost was very moved when he heard that Shen Yi and Ruan Wen were going to bomb the German artillery positions.
He specifically found Shen Yi, took off a medal of honor from his chest, and put it in Shen Yi's hands.
"Respected Shen, although you are not a professional soldier, your courage is worthy of the title of hero. Please accept this little gift from me."
Following Frost's words, the bloody coat of arms appeared again: Out of admiration for your courage, the 2nd Airborne Battalion raised its intimacy to 500 points and won a Medal of Honor from the 2nd Airborne Battalion.
