Chapter 104
In the game.
The next day, early morning.
A breeze blew through a forest, and the character body controlled by Fang Ming couldn't help but shiver,
slowly opening his eyes.
Eight people covered in mud and looking like wolves and foxes were huddled together for warmth, having spent the night like this.
Fang Ming propped up his body, moved his numb limbs, and breathed in the morning air, but was almost choked by the smell of rotting leaves all over the forest floor.
Swish swish—at the edge of the forest in the distance, a large flock of birds suddenly flew up.
Fang Ming's expression changed. They caught up so quickly?! Read books on TianTianKanXiaoShuo, excitement is all in 𝐭𝐭𝐤𝐬.𝐭𝐰
He couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly woke up the other team members:
"Get up quickly."
"The Empire soldiers are chasing again."
The others opened their eyes with difficulty, but upon hearing Fang Ming's words, they instantly perked up, ignoring the fatigue and exhaustion all over their bodies, and immediately climbed up.
They also noticed the large flock of birds flying up, and at the same time, the sound of a few military dogs came.
It really is?!
And so close?!
Everyone hurriedly carried their weapons and equipment and left in the opposite direction, but before they could run out of the forest, a roar of military dogs came from the location where they rested last night.
The shouts of Empire soldiers could be vaguely heard, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Not two minutes later.
A rush of sound suddenly came from behind, and everyone looked back, only to see a few Empire military dogs had caught up, chasing and roaring while pouncing towards them.
Everyone's expression changed greatly, and they couldn't help but raise their guns.
Bang—a gunshot, one military dog was killed, and the surrounding flock of birds was also awakened, rushing into the sky in large numbers.
But the other military dogs didn't stop their pace upon seeing this, instead roaring even louder, as if guiding the Empire soldiers behind.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few more gunshots, and a few Empire military dogs dodged left and right.
Seeing that they couldn't hit them, Fang Ming directly took out two grenades, pulled the pins, and threw them at the military dogs, accompanied by two deafening sounds.
The roaring military dogs completely lost their voices.
Rat-tat-tat-tat—the bullets of the Empire's submachine gun swept over from a distance, and the flying bullets hit everywhere, plus the shouts of the Empire soldiers, and the sound of military dogs from all directions.
Fang Ming tried his best to bend his body, took out a few grenades, used the lines to make a simple trap, and then didn't stop at all:
"Retreat to the north! There's a river there!!!"
With only this many people left, Fang Ming had no intention of fighting at all.
There was less than a kilometer to the end of the forest, and everyone ran wildly all the way, soon rushing to the rushing river.
Compared to the forest, standing by the river at this time.
The wetter and colder feeling made everyone, who was hot all over after running wildly, calm down instantly, and a Soviet Union soldier said with a trembling voice:
"Commander, will we be frozen to death here?"
Fang Ming was also suspicious, and the friends in the live room were all advising him to give up, but listening to the shouts and military dog barks getting closer behind him, Fang Ming gritted his teeth:
"Jump!"
"Otherwise we won't be able to shake off those Empire military dogs."
"Do you want to be captured by those guys from the Empire?"
After speaking.
Fang Ming took a deep breath and jumped into the rushing river, the icy feeling instantly spreading all over his body, and his whole person felt as if he were frozen stiff.
And the others, seeing this, also gritted their teeth and jumped down one after another.
I don't know how long it took, the river water gradually slowed down, and Fang Ming, whose face was iron-blue from being frozen by the cold river water, climbed onto the shore tremblingly.
He took a few breaths, and saw the soldiers floating over the river; Fang Ming hurriedly propped up his body and reached out with his rifle to reach them, and upon contact, he was almost dragged down.
Just like that, he dragged them up one by one, but... counting Fang Ming himself, there were only five people left in this small team, and three were missing.
And the current completion condition was only [3/15 (days)].
The challenge difficulty of this [Moscow Defense] medal made the friends in the live room numb; it was simply not something a human could pass, and compared to it.
The battlefield where Blue Star players were confronting each other looked much easier.
At this time.
Mo Xiaomo's live room.
After her "command," she had successfully blitzed to the Empire faction players on the other side of the battlefield,
and initially stunned the opposite side directly.
But the equipment on the Empire faction side was there, either armored vehicles or tanks.
The destruction effect was limited, so after fighting for a while, they were forced to retreat to a forest, borrowing the muddy land after the rain, making it difficult for armor and tanks to move.
Mo Xiaomo led people in the forest and the Empire faction players outside, fighting back and forth.
Fortunately, the confrontation between the two factions didn't involve Empire or Soviet Union NPC troops, otherwise it wouldn't be so leisurely.
In the temporary command post.
Mo Xiaomo was eating canned food, looking at the map:
"The Empire's firepower is too fierce, we can't rush over."
At this time, she finally had a hint of the feeling of commanding; having been used as cannon fodder in this game for so long, now she was finally a superior officer, who understands this!!!
A Blue Star player with the position of Regiment Commander beside her nodded and said:
"The main thing is the road is not good, too muddy."
"It seriously slowed down the speed, but they can't chase over either; now whoever goes out is a target."
"But our situation is considered good in the whole Sky Shark Live."
There was also some emotion in his tone; they had been fighting for a few days, which was a small fight, looking no different from playing house, and look at other battle lines.
Empire faction troops NPC and Soviet Union troops NPC were fighting, and the battle situation was tragic.
But even more tragic should be those players and streamers challenging the [Moscow Defense Medal], because the task required using Mobile Corps Commander warfare to delay the Empire troops' advance, and at the same time, they had to break out.
The situation in Fang Ming's live room was too normal; just click on any live room challenging the [Moscow Defense Medal] task, and the degree of looking like a wolf and fox was no less than Fang Ming's.
Even more so.
Mo Xiaomo nodded and then said:
"It would be great if it snowed, then we could use the snowy night to raid!"
"Hehehehe, this must be recorded in military history."
The Regiment Commander beside her couldn't help but hold her forehead:
"Snow?"
"Then we'd better run quickly, if it snows, the ground will freeze."
"Once the ground is frozen, the Empire's armor and tanks can drive over."
Mo Xiaomo thought for a moment:
"That's true."
"Then it's better if it doesn't snow."
On the other side.
The streamer on the Empire faction side here.
Standing at the entrance of the command post, looking at the gloomy weather in the sky, it had been cloudy for several days, and the armored tanks couldn't go far before getting stuck in the mud.
They couldn't even drive to the forest where Mo Xiaomo was hiding, otherwise they would have just driven the tanks over and bombarded them.
But they couldn't drive over.
You can't have an armored brigade run over to shoot with rifles.
In the distance.
A player with the position of Battalion Commander walked over, leading a tall person who didn't look like someone from the Great Xia Federation, and the Battalion Commander brought that person over:
"Mobile Corps Commander, this is a player from the Slavic Federation."
"He said it might snow in the next few days, we need to prepare some cold-proof clothes or equipment."
The Slavic Federation player beside him nodded; there was automatic translation in the game, so whatever the Great Xia Federation players said would be converted, and he could hear it too.
Hearing this, not only were the friends in the live room a bit surprised, but the streamer on the Empire faction side looked up at the sky:
"It just rained, and the temperature is still so hot, snow?"
The Slavic Federation player said affirmatively:
"Yes."
"The climate here is very similar to our Slavic side, don't look at the fact that it just rained, but the dark clouds in the sky haven't dispersed, plus it's so sultry."
"It's very likely that a rare heavy snow is brewing."
"We should take advantage of the snow to raid the Soviet Union faction on the opposite side."
"It's best to give me a position, I want to command the battle."
The streamer on the Empire faction side was thoughtful and nodded:
"Okay, I know."
Saying that, he arranged a position of Company Commander for this Slavic Federation player.
At this time, the barrage in the live room was discussing heatedly.
[Is it true or false, this guy is predicting the weather in the game?]
[It seems there's no problem, after all, you know how realistic the details of "World War II: Rise of the Empire" are in all aspects, and there's nothing wrong with predicting according to reality.]
[But even if it snows, what can happen, I guess Mo Xiaomo on the opposite side will be finished too.]
[Anyway, if it snows, the road might be easier to walk, recently the Empire's offensive has been slow, and there's the reason for this muddy road where armor can't walk.]
[By the way, when the CG data [Red Square Parade] happened, it was snowing, and Guderian's troops had already advanced to the outskirts of Moscow, now... holy crap?]
[Guderian has advanced deep again, almost to the outskirts of Moscow.]
[Is it really going to snow soon?]
Blue Star players stood from the perspective of bystanders, plus they had CG data, so they knew in advance that it was about to snow,
but the response to this news wasn't big.
It's just that those streamers and players who were challenging the [Moscow Defense Medal] task were all stunned; if it really snowed, I'm afraid they would be frozen outside, and the task wouldn't be completed at all.
These players and streamers who were challenging the task were so scared that they hurriedly tried to scavenge useful things and cold-proof clothes from the enemy bodies.
For fear of not being able to persist.
On the other side.
Polar Star Company.
Zhao Ming leaned back in his chair and opened the real-time map on the official website.
At this time, the battle line on the map that had been leveled began to show flaws under the Empire's offensive.
Many of the Empire's troops had already crossed the Soviet Union's second line of defense and were marching towards Moscow, but because of the rain.
The offensive that had just improved stopped again, and the road couldn't be traveled.
However, with the news of the upcoming snow spreading, there was a lot of communication on the real-time map, discussing the situation of both sides once the land was frozen.
After looking at the current battle situation and development.
Zhao Ming opened the game's background database and pulled out the data of the entire "Earth" at present.
The progress in the game is currently following the timeline, and Zhao Ming focused his attention on the Pacific battlefield.
This place hasn't been opened yet, so it's pitch black when players look at it on the official website, but it's clear and distinct when looking at the background database.
At this time, it represents the color of the Axis powers, and without the American Freedom Federation noticing, it is quietly expanding in the Pacific.
[Attack on Pearl Harbor]
This represents the most costly strategic event in the history of the "Earth" war is about to come.
This event.
Not only directly dragged the American Freedom Federation into the game, but also affected the war situation between the Empire and the Soviet Union,
directly affecting the direction of the entire World War II.
