Chapter 24: Desperate Strike

When a large-scale explosion occurred in the artillery position, the tanks of the German 2nd Armored Division had also moved to the front line.

They stopped at a distance of 1,200 meters from the British position and began the first long-range bombardment. Having learned the lessons of the past, the German armored divisions no longer adopted the usual ground-crushing assault tactics, but first used heavy firepower to clean up the area, and then launched a full-scale advance.

Shells from sixty tanks came whining with flames trailing, leveling one building after another. They will not let go of all the buildings that are exposed outside the surface.

Arnhem Cathedral, an adventurer is shooting with a sniper rifle one after another. When a tank shifted its muzzle to this side, the adventurer just smiled contemptuously. The cathedral has been bombarded by tanks many times in the past few days, but it still stands.

So he just pouted habitually.

But the next moment, he saw at least four tanks aiming at him at the same time.

His face changed slightly: "Oh my god!"

Without hesitation, the adventurer ran towards the big hole next to him, trying to jump directly out of the cathedral. With his adventurer physique, he might get injured if he fell from this height, but he would definitely not die. But as soon as he jumped out of the church hole, he saw a shell flying towards him.

"No!" The adventurer let out a final scream, and was blown to pieces in the air.

Arnhem Cathedral collapsed in an instant and became a ruin.

The roar of bombers also began to sound in the sky.

A total of twenty-five Stuka bombers, each in a group of five, lined up in five air herringbone formations, formed a medium-sized flying column, and were flying towards the sky above the town.

"Be careful, it's Stuka! Kill them!" Hong Lang howled at the top of his voice.

Twelve adventurers raised their guns and shot towards the sky at the same time.

King Kong shouted: "Shoot!"

The adventurer, who was capable of thundering from the sky, swung his gun horizontally, rushed out of the ditch, and opened his hands towards the sky.

A large thundercloud suddenly appeared in the sky. Twenty-five Stuka bombers were unable to avoid it, and at least a dozen of them got into the thundercloud. Under the violent thunder and lightning strikes in the clouds, the Stuka bombers burst into flames and fell headlong to the ground. Only a few of them escaped from the thunderclouds.

"Haha, eight fighters! I killed eight fighters at once!" The adventurer screamed excitedly. This violent thunderstorm was powerful, but it consumed a lot of his energy all at once, and he would never recover without enough time.

But at the next moment, King Kong yelled: "Be careful!"

The adventurer was stunned, and looked up, only to see a huge bomb falling from the sky, hitting his head fiercely...

After avoiding the thundercloud, seventeen Stuka bombers re-formed and dived towards the ground. The bombs fell from the belly of the aircraft one by one like an old hen, and exploded one after another on the ground. The huge air wave blasted out a large cloud of dust, forming a wall of smoke.

An incendiary bomb happened to land near the place where the adventurers gathered, and everyone ran away in fright, and a huge wave of fire rushed towards them in an instant.

The two adventurers couldn't escape, and were swallowed by the flames, making miserable wailing sounds.

"Rewind! Rewind!" King Kong yelled loudly.

In just a few minutes, the German artillery fire had cleared the front line and turned the entire front into rubble.

The bombers in the sky are still dive-bombing, they are looking for heavy firepower from the British.

Several tanks and artillery captured by the 2nd Airborne Battalion became their key targets. The clusters of bombs that fell turned several heavy fire points into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

The second line of defense is also being quickly torn apart.

"Back to the third line!" Frost yelled.

The Germans' offensive momentum was fierce. After many days of fighting, the British Red Devils' army was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of ammunition, physical strength, morale, equipment, and numbers.

The only thing they can do now is to trade space for time,

But the time that this space can be exchanged for is really limited.

On the distant position, a figure was running towards this side with his waist down. Cannonballs exploded from that figure from time to time, and the air waves pushed the man into the air and then fell to the ground. The man rolled over and continued to run towards this side.

is gentle.

"Come here!" Hong Lang shouted.

A Stuka roared in the sky and dropped three heavy bombs in a row, one of which was falling on Gentle's head.

King Kong rushed out of the ditch with a fierce tiger leap, and pointed at the falling shell with both hands.

The cannonball stopped in the air and did not fall again.

King Kong's body seemed to be hit hard by something, and a lot of blood overflowed from the mouth, ears and nose. He glared furiously: "Quick!"

Gentle rushed to this side like lightning, and when she rushed to King Kong, she hugged him and threw herself into the ditch, and the two of them fell heavily into the ditch. There was a loud bang behind him, and the out-of-control bomb hit the ground and exploded.

"Damn it, you are... really heavy." King Kong rolled his eyes and called out.

With a gentle smile, a touch of emotion appeared on the gray face: "Thank you, big guy, I forgot you still have this hand."

"It's a pity that I don't have enough energy. If I have enough energy, I can control one plane to collide with another. It's a pity... I have to take a good rest." King Kong replied coughing blood. He wasn't hit by the bomb, but was injured by the attrition caused by his excessive use of abilities.

"How is Shen Yi?" Hong Lang asked urgently: "I see he has blown up the artillery position, has he come out?"

A trace of heartache flashed in Wen Rou's eyes, and she shook her head: "He didn't plan to come out at all."

————————

The muzzle of the spirit gun was pointed at the head of the SS major general, and the vampire's touch was placed on the major general's neck.

Outside the camp was a scene of hell filled with gunpowder smoke and flames soaring to the sky. Dozens of SS soldiers aimed their guns at Shen Yi in the smoke.

Their expressions were solemn, but there was no panic in their eyes that the chief was held hostage by the enemy.

The rumbling explosion sounds like the background music of this extremely tense moment. Surprisingly, it does not make people feel heavy and solemn, on the contrary, it has a bit of funny and ridiculous color.

Because neither Shen Yi nor the abducted major general officer showed any nervousness on their faces.

"You...are an excellent soldier." The SS major general said suddenly: "It's amazing, how on earth did you enter my position and do all this? How could you suddenly appear like this?"

"Should you be more concerned about your own life?" Shen Yi laughed.

The major general replied coldly: "I don't think so, maybe you don't know who the SS is. Do you think you can run out if you hold me hostage? This is ridiculous. This is not a peaceful age. This is In war, everyone must have the consciousness of sacrificing for the country, and the SS is the most loyal existence to the head of state. If there is anything in this world that makes us feel terrified, it is not death, but the inability to complete the tasks entrusted by the head of state. our sacred mission."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He remembered some legends about the SS.

A famous war correspondent in the United States said that objectively speaking, the strongest, most courageous and most reliable army in human history should be the World War II SS.

Regardless of political stance and belief, the members of the Nazi SS under Hitler during World War II were notoriously fanatical. They dared to sacrifice their lives for the country, fought bravely and did not fear death, and were called the most terrifying professional soldiers.

Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union once said that once his troop commander and his organized units heard that the SS had appeared in the front German positions, basically everyone wrote a suicide note, and everyone became extremely solemn, and even deserted. In his memoirs he wrote: "...those Nazi SS dogs/mothers are real soldiers, compared to them, me and Eisenhower are all fucking amateur doll troops, from the bottom of my heart, They are opponents I respect."

When Hitler committed suicide, there were more than 63,000 SS soldiers who followed the head of state to commit suicide in just one month, and more than 70,000 people were killed hiding in the corner and refusing to surrender. No one in the Nazi SS voluntarily disarmed the coalition forces. Basically, they were captured after hitting the last bullet. So far, a Nazi SS sergeant's last words "tell the Fuehrer that I have tried my best, and tell my father that I still love him." still widely circulated.

Although later, the SS became the target of negative evaluation in World War II because of its many notorious war crimes, especially its active role in the Holocaust, but in fact the SS was divided into two Organization: SS Secret Service and Waffen-SS. The main executor of the massacre is the secret operation team, and the Waffen SS is the terrifying army that gallops across the battlefield and makes the enemy turn pale. Although they also participated in massacres, they were relatively few. It's just that they are both SS soldiers, and it is not wrong to take the blame for the secret operation team.

The real soldiers that Zhukov mentioned are the Armed SS, which is the army that Shen Yi met now.

Shen Yi has no way of knowing what kind of combat power they have, but what kind of loyalty and fearless spirit they have, Shen Yi will immediately understand in the next moment.

Because the SS major general shouted loudly at the next moment: "Our glory is called loyalty! For the sake of the head of state, everyone obeys orders and prepares to open..."

All the SS soldiers were ready to fire the bullets in their guns at the same time.

"Wait!" Shen Yi shouted.

The SS major general let out a cold and proud laugh: "Put down the gun, I can spare you, but you can't get more."

"I think it's better for me to exchange my own way for the chance of survival." Shen Yi replied with a smile.

He didn't believe what the major general said.

Although the SS is known for its bravery and combat skills, it is also known for its cruelty.

An SS major general was hijacked by a British paratrooper. It is definitely not good news to spread it. There is an 80% possibility that after Shen Yi released the major general, he was beaten to death on the spot.

But he is sure to minimize this possibility.

"Don't you want to know how I got in? It's a pity that I can't perform anymore, but maybe I can let you see other performances." Shen Yi said as he took off his Kevlar body armor from his body.

Throwing the body armor on the ground, he took out the small pistol and said to the major general, "Look clearly."

He raised his pistol to aim at the body armor on the ground, and fired three times in a row.

His movements are slow, but also very clear, leaving no possibility of misunderstanding for the SS soldiers.

The major general's gaze straightened.

The Kevlar body armor had three small holes under the pistol fire, but the bullets still obviously stayed on the body armor and did not penetrate the ground.

"I think you know what that means, right?" Shen Yi smiled heartily.

"It's an amazing invention, I've never seen it before." The major general said in a dry tone.

"That's right." Shen Yi moved the muzzle of the gun away from the major general's head.

He took out a bottle of mid-level recovery potion and threw it to the major general: "Drink this, and your injury will heal."

Then he threw the gun into the medal, Shen Yi's gun disappeared, this action made the other party stunned.

Shen Yi slowly raised his hands: "I surrender!"
