Chapter 103
The information collected by players was limited; they almost couldn't come into contact with the high-level officials of the Empire and the Soviet Union, or the British and French federations, and it was usually difficult to get useful news from ordinary NPCs.
The only way to understand was the introduction in the Hall of Fame.
Although it wasn't unlocked and the introduction was very short, after watching it for a long time, there were already many familiar ones.
Mo Xiaomo opened the Hall of Fame.
Soon she found the general whose name was exactly the same as the one on the document.
[Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov (To be unlocked)] Read books on TianTianKanXiaoShuo, 𝓽𝓽𝓴𝓼.𝓽𝔀 is super awesome.
[Title: Hero of the Soviet Union, Red God of War,]
[Military Rank: Marshal of the Soviet Union]
[Biography: He is a military genius from a poor background, from a Tsarist cavalryman to a Marshal of the Soviet Union, he once broke the myth of the "Empire's invincibility" on the European continent under the city of the Soviet Union.]
[Famous Quote: Personnel, weapons, military thought—these are the three basic elements of an army.]

"It's really him!"
"Wait?!"
"Look at the end of this introduction?!"
"Deep penetration?!"
Mo Xiaomo seemed to have discovered a new continent and hurriedly opened the tactical library:
"Is it that deep penetration tactic?"
The live room was also stunned, holy crap?
Soon, the card for the deep penetration tactic appeared on the live room screen.
[Deep Penetration Tactic (WWII/Modern Warfare)]
[...]
[...]
[Introduction: Based on "continuous campaigns," it advocates large-scale attrition warfare through a series of continuous offensives to consume the enemy and prevent them from reorganizing their defense lines (cannot be used by small countries).]
At this time.
On the left side of the live room screen, the introduction of [Zhukov] was placed, and on the right side, the introduction of [Deep Penetration Tactic] was placed, looking at these two introductions.
The friends on the Blue Star side felt like they had discovered a new continent.
So...
Now that the Empire's offensive is slow, besides the supplies not keeping up, is there also the reason for this deep penetration tactic?
Mo Xiaomo opened the real-time map on the official website and placed it below the two introductions, so it looked very simple and clear.
"Hiss—"
"Now I can understand it."
"First of all, the general commanding the Soviet Union side is also a big shot in the Hall of Fame!"
"Part of the reason for the Empire's blitzkrieg is because of the supply problem, and the other part is the deep penetration tactic used by this big shot commanding the Soviet Union."
"Continuous campaigns consumed and leveled the Empire's advance range, so now the whole battle line looks almost leveled."
"Of course, except for the armored group army commanded by Guderian in the northwest direction."
"But only he himself advanced there, and there is no way to conduct an encirclement, because it requires someone on the other side to also advance."
Following Mo Xiaomo's explanation, the friends in the live room seemed to see the military big shots of the Empire and the Soviet Union playing chess against each other on the real-time map.
The "blitzkrieg" that swept across Europe and was invincible had finally encountered an opponent it couldn't attack. At this time.
A barrage floated across the live room.
[The introduction of Guderian in the Hall of Fame says that he suffered a defeat under the city of the Soviet Union... could it be this time?]
Once this was said.
Everyone was stunned, and then reacted; the friends in the live room were frantically sending barrages.
[Holy crap? You're really not saying? With the current supply state, if they can't advance anymore, then it must be this!]
[Are we witnessing history?]
[Wake up, what kind of history is game history, the whole "Earth" in this game is fictional.]
[Hiss—Guderian vs Zhukov? Who's going to the front line to stream a screen.]
[It's too early, [Defense of Moscow] has just started, how can it not be fought for a while.]
[That's right, and when the CG data [Red Square Parade] happened, it was already snowing in Moscow; it's only the end of October in the game, it'll be a while before it snows.]
[It's over, Xiao Mo's 'father of blitzkrieg' eldest disciple (self-proclaimed) hasn't been around for many days, and the master is about to be defeated.]
There were all kinds of comments in the barrage.
Mo Xiaomo started to study the introduction of the deep penetration tactic, and then checked the information since the Empire blitzed the Soviet Union.
Until following the information query, Mo Xiaomo couldn't help but click her tongue:
"400,000... 350,000... Kiev 850,000 people..."
"My God."
"From the beginning of the Empire's blitz on the Soviet Union until now, the number of Soviet soldiers who have died and been captured is almost two million."
"How can there still be so many troops?!"
As Mo Xiaomo put these data out and pasted them above the real-time map.
The friends in the live room were also a bit stunned, looking at the battle line stretching more than 2,000 kilometers between the Soviet Union and the Empire, and finally discovered something wrong.
The Empire at this time, because the battle line was too long and the supply line was too long, the advance had already become difficult.
And the Soviet Union was resisting the Empire's troops along the entire 2,000-kilometer battle line, which seemed fine.
But!
This is under the condition that the Soviet Union has already lost nearly two million troops?!
I dare not imagine how many troops the entire Soviet Union must have had without losing those nearly two million troops,
millions plus millions...?
Mo Xiaomo looked at the introduction on the [Deep Penetration Tactic] card:
"I finally know what (cannot be used by small countries) means."
"Just the troops lost by the Soviet Union now are enough to arm two million-strong armies of the Polish Federation,
and the current battle line between the Empire and the Soviet Union is enough to run through several Polands."
"It seems that big countries are still better, unlike small countries, which are all gone now."
After speaking, Mo Xiaomo suddenly didn't know what to say.
The friends in the live room also gradually came back to their senses and fell silent; this was purely attrition warfare, and those on the European continent who couldn't compete were already gone.
Not only competing for weapons, equipment, ammunition, supplies, but also people...
Hiss—people have also become consumables?!
The friends in the live room were shocked.
The discovery in Mo Xiaomo's live room, following the upload of the live stream video, added a lot to the worldview in "Earth," especially on the Soviet Union side.
What's even more unexpected is this kind of "attrition" of war.
It's not just supplies, it has finally become the consumption of personnel; the Empire can make the Soviet Union lose nearly two million troops, but the Soviet Union still has a steady stream of troops to fill in.
Now the discussion about the Empire and the Soviet Union in the player forum has gradually changed from the Empire being invincible to three-seven.
Mainly because with the analysis, more and more players are gathering information together.
The more they can understand what kind of crushing existence a "big country" is to a "small country" in this game.
Because there are only six major federations on Blue Star, and the territory is not much different, basically the same, so many Blue Star netizens don't feel much.
But if you immerse yourself in the "Earth" in this game and become a small country, think about it.
You are a Federation Prime Minister, and you have a million-strong army under your command!
However.
Your neighbor on the left has three million troops in hand, and your neighbor on the right has six million troops...
Your million-strong army is gone, it's a catastrophe.
Their million-strong army is gone, and they pull out another two million troops...
Blue Star players, because they have all experienced being a "Polish Prime Minister," now looking back at the scene at that time and the current situation, their scalps are also tingling.
The countries on this "Earth" are truly outrageous.
Blue Star is still better, the six major federations are all about the same...
The [Defense of Moscow] in the game is still in full swing.
Sky Shark Live.
In Fang Ming's live room.
A day has passed in reality, while two days and one night have passed in the game.
[Completion condition: 2/15 (days)]
The completion condition for the medal is slowly increasing, meaning that as long as he persists for 13 more days, he can obtain the medal.
But Fang Ming doubts if anyone can really persist for 15 days?
Should he just prepare food and hide for 15 days?
Just two days and one night, Fang Ming had already been pursued to the point of doubting life; how can they use dozens of tanks to pursue their small group of remnants?!
And military dogs, damn it.
If they hadn't jumped into the mud pit at noon, rolling in mud all over, maybe they would have been caught up by the military dogs by now.
At this time, it is the end of the month in the Soviet Union, and it is about to enter November.
Just after a heavy rain, and lying in the mud pit for half a day, the sour and refreshing feeling can be imagined.
Until the sky gradually darkened, and the cold came.
The people who were freezing in the mud pit finally climbed up slowly; Fang Ming was almost frozen numb, got up, turned around, and looked at his small team members.
Originally twelve people.
But after these two days and one night of pursuit, only eight were left, and there were still 13 days until the end...
Fang Ming took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly from the cold:
"Take all the equipment, let's find a small forest."
"Avoid the wind."
"It's fortunate that it's the end of October now, and it hasn't snowed yet, otherwise if it snowed, I'm afraid we'd be frozen to death."
"Hurry, hurry."
It's just that Fang Ming didn't know... in a few days, the calendar on "Earth" would reach November, and November 1941... was exceptionally cold.

(Reply to one... there is indeed no saved manuscript, because it needs to be adjusted according to the content of each day, and I guarantee new content every day, so I dare not save... but the outline for the next few chapters is almost finished, and I will definitely make up for it before the 15th.)
