It's eight o'clock sharp in the morning.
The teaching building where the freshmen were located was silent. They sat in their respective seats, staring at the blackboard, begging the principal for mercy.
After handing the medicine to Duke, Lu Li also raised his head and looked ahead silently.
Soon, a piece of chalk slowly flew up.
There was a grinding sound that made one’s teeth feel sour——
Exam Location: The Country of Windmills
Era background: At the dusk of September 10th of a certain year, a historic mission was born. It was called a major decision that could not be changed, but there were no guidelines. Because there has never been such an attempt before - sending a large airborne force deep behind the enemy's front line. These airborne troops are equipped with vehicles and artillery and can fight alone.
Finally, the mission was claimed by three commanders. They were to seize the bridge suddenly like thunder, and then hold on to the narrow corridor, allowing the ground troops executing the Garden Plan to pass unimpeded, as if leaping through a springboard, straight into The heart of the enemy!
Examination requirements: Candidates will be selectively assigned to three troops to participate in the bridge-capture operation.
Exam difficulty level: There is no upper limit, keep climbing higher and higher!
Exam Penalty:? ? ?
Exam reward:? ? ?
The scarlet font is particularly eye-catching.
"It's over! This is a war that is destined to fail. We are going to become cannon fodder! Damn it!"
An epidemic called panic spread in several other classes, and someone kicked over the table. The world was still in a peaceful era in the previous scene, but now they were thrown into the meat grinder of war.
There is not even a transition between the two, which is both abrupt and frightening.
"Why did the difficulty of the exam suddenly increase so much? Prepare to destroy everyone..."
At the same time, in the two classrooms of the elite class, there were also people talking bad words and holding their heads in thought...
Because this action is so famous, almost everyone who has paid attention to the history of modern war knows what it means.
From complacency to chaos and collapse.
Countless blood and lives were filled into this flesh and blood mill.
However, Lu Li noticed something was wrong. What was "selective distribution"?
Normally, there were only two options: random assignment and free choice, but he could guarantee that the previous seniors had never experienced this situation before.
It's a pity that the piece of chalk, driven by mysterious power, is still writing down——
Mission tip: The target area will be divided into three parts. The goal of the 101st Division is to capture all canal crossings between Eindhoven and Feher; to the north of them is the 82nd Division, responsible for capturing the Maas River with the ferry on the Waal River and the giant long-air bridge in Nijmegen.
In Operation Market Garden, the most important target was Arnhem and its important crossing on the Lower Rhine. The three-hole highway bridge made of reinforced concrete was regarded as a prize and handed over to the 1st Airborne Division. and its subordinate units.
Notice!
Members of the freshman elite class will be forcibly assigned to the 1st Airborne Division, and other classes will be randomly assigned by the academic administration system.
Is this sanctioned?
A ridiculous idea flashed through Lu Li's mind.
In fact, everyone in the elite class exchanged some trump cards to save their lives.
I thought I could find a loophole, but now it seems that my behavior is a bit ridiculous.
Soon, what appeared on the blackboard confirmed his idea.
[Principal's comment: Rookies, no matter which class you come from, in short, just struggle as hard as you can, maybe you can survive until the last episode! 】
"The placement test has officially begun!"
Without warning, a low and hoarse voice sounded, and then, the surrounding scene began to distort and change.
Faintly, Lu Li heard a low voice, elusive but continuous.
river?
Unable to see things clearly for the time being, he thought about this operation and guessed that there was some kind of change in the flow of the Lower Rhine, such as flood discharge, water storage...
Unfortunately, Lu Li guessed wrong.
The Lower Rhine's flow has never changed in recent times, flowing calmly into the North Sea at a speed of two miles an hour.
In fact, the voice echoing in my ears came from a ruthless enemy - an armored vehicle.
September 17, early in the morning.
1st Airborne Division station.
Major General Urquhart took out the map he had studied countless times and confirmed it again.
In the past few months, his division had never participated in any action. Countless soldiers described themselves as "the dead division" and seriously doubted that the 1st Airborne Division was being retained to participate in the victory celebration.
In fact, an unprecedented task is on their shoulders. Two hours later, the 1st Airborne Division will take advantage of the darkness to conduct high-altitude parachute jumps in batches and enter the predetermined area as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, due to confidentiality reasons and in order to confuse the enemy, the senior officials deliberately released some half-truths and half-false information, and those soldiers did not know that they had indeed been selected.
At this moment, several officers were gathering together to chat.
“The summer went by in a boring way, planning one action after another, only to see those plans cancelled.”
The speaker had his legs crossed and looked like he was doing nothing.
After the words fell, someone couldn't help but say: "Perhaps the news is true? Otherwise, why did the entire division suddenly require martial law and implement radio silence?"
"That's true. You know, you don't need to prepare parachute bags for exercises."
The people present were all experienced grassroots officers, and within a few words, they noticed something unusual.
"Okay, if it comes true, where do you plan to land? I think the north of the ferry is a good place. Airborne directly into the center of the city."
"Go south of the ferry. That area is full of polders and is very wet and soft. You can avoid injuries..."
As he spoke, everyone focused their attention on a young man. He looked dazed and stared at the ground in a daze.
At this time, Lu Li noticed that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Lu Li came back to his senses.
Just now, he was digesting that strange memory and didn't pay attention to what these people were talking about.
A little embarrassing...
Fortunately, a tall man came over. As soon as he appeared, everyone stood up and saluted solemnly.
"He is a big, pleasant man who likes to call soldiers son, and if he knows his name, he calls him by his first name."
As far as I can remember, this is the highest compliment one can pay Urquhart.
"There's a dangerous mix of laziness and cynicism that's slowly creeping into our lives. We're trained to be in great shape, and I know we're going to lose that shape if we don't go to war soon!"
"Now, the opportunity has come!"
"Please tell me loudly that you are ready."
