Chapter 121: [Battle of Midway] Prelude, carrier duel on

Before Fang Ming played "World War II: Rise of Empires", he was an assault master in major FPS games, and even won many awards.

His main focus was close-quarters combat and charging to break through enemy defense lines.

Room combat and street fighting were Fang Ming's most proficient areas.

Now seeing that "World War II: Rise of Empires" is going to release the derivative map of the national war dungeon [Stalingrad Street Fighting], doesn't that mean [Battle of Stalingrad] is mainly street fighting?

In this way, the [Stalingrad Medal] can almost be said to be stable.

How could Fang Ming not show a smile on his face.

Fang Ming continued to look down at the update announcement:

"There will be no downtime update tonight either."

"Open daily random battlefields."

"This battlefield does not distinguish between factions, randomly assigned, and the main source of the battlefield is the local battles that happen every day on 'Earth'."

Fang Ming finally understood:

"This is Polar Star being afraid that players will get tired of old battlefields, so they launched this, right?"

"There is another paragraph below, let me see..."

"After the update tonight, game plot skipping and acceleration will be opened, so that players can quickly pass the cold winter of Moscow, up to three months."

"At the same time, [Daily Plot] and [Earth Battlefield] options will be opened."

"When players choose to skip or accelerate the immersive plot, they can pre-select their identity when starting the next round."

"Note: [Daily Plot] can communicate more with NPCs in order to obtain works for the second video competition that is about to open."

"Note: [Earth Battlefield] starts on the battlefield, and you can experience battles in different regions such as deserts, winters, seas, etc., according to the player's different factions and regions."

"For more content, please wait for the press conference to open."

"PS: Game producer Zhao Ming will participate in the entire press conference as a host~"

Fang Ming read the announcement, widened his eyes, and said to the live stream:

"Good guy, Zhao Old Thief explaining it himself?"

"Is there anyone bold enough to throw two stones at the press conference?"

The barrage in the live stream rolled.

[Laughing to death, with Zhao Old Thief's sneakiness, he must search you before entering!]

[Holy crap? Can it still be like this???]

[It is estimated that the invited ones are big streamers, big stars, etc. Little Ming, you have a chance.]

[Anyway, you are also a [Moscow Patriotic Medal] recipient, you should be able to participate, right?]

[Then why use others, just throw it yourself.]

It is estimated that he accelerated and skipped a few months of plot, the Allied forces recovered, and began to entangle and fight with the Empire.

"Cough cough."

"There is no news yet, let's talk after the press conference opens."

"The information in this announcement is quite a lot, the main thing is that Zhao Old Thief's CG killed me."

"Each one is only half released."

Fang Ming complained, switched back to the game, and looked at the time:

"No downtime update at 12 o'clock, still more than an hour away."

"Enough for me to finish this round."

"Where is the streamer?"

"The streamer is on Singapore Island."

"Ridiculous, a place the size of a city also became a federation."

"Now fighting with Japanese soldiers."

Fang Ming replied to the new friends' barrage, while shooting behind the defensive position. The Japanese attack was repelled several times, but the situation on the British Federation side is not good now.

Stood up and shot, after killing another little devil, Fang Ming squatted down and explained the war situation to the live stream:

"Japan has now piled all its troops under the city of Singapore."

"The water source was cut off yesterday, it is estimated that they want to starve us to death."

"As for the defenders..."

Fang Ming calculated roughly, then said:

"There should be seventy or eighty thousand people."

"Defending should be able to hold, just don't know how long it will take to fight."

"The key is that these allied soldiers are too..."

Fang Ming had an indescribable expression, couldn't help but grin, "Compared to the quality of soldiers on the European battlefield, it's not just a little bit different."

"I've been beaten by Japanese soldiers all the way since I restarted these two days. Sometimes I haven't even run out of ammunition and food, and the soldiers on the Allied side have collapsed and surrendered."

"It's just ridiculous."

"The news from the newspaper says that the Japanese soldiers opposite were withdrawn from the [Asian Battlefield]. It seems to be the 5th Division?"

"Heard they were severely damaged and beaten to pieces on the [Asian Battlefield] in the east, so they were transferred to Southeast Asia."

"As a result, a group of remnant soldiers actually swept the British Federation and Allied soldiers."

"This world seems to be a huge fish tank, big fish eat small fish, MD..."

"The troops eliminated from the [Asian Battlefield] are like this, this [Asian Battlefield] must be at the same level as the [European Battlefield]."

"But these Allied soldiers are really weak."

"I looked at the 'real-time map' on the Polar Star official website, just in Malaysia, the Allied side died eight or nine thousand people, and the opposite side only died more than a thousand Japanese soldiers."

"Among them, twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers were killed by me."

"What kind of kill-death ratio is this?"

"I suspect that these people don't even have a few who passed the shooting test."

Fang Ming shook his head and said to the friends in the live stream, then changed places, stood up and shot again, and the Japanese troops seemed to be just to trap them.

They didn't even drive away the refugees, and even helped drive the refugees into Singapore city.

In the game, just a few days passed.

Nearly a million refugees poured into the whole city, and for a time there was no water to drink.

Fang Ming also changed from feeling that he could hold it to worrying.

Mainly because there were too many refugees, not only sharing supplies but also affecting morale. The Allied soldiers around had no fighting desire at all.

Half a month later in the game.

Two days and one night have passed in reality.

In the game.

Fang Ming was still fighting the Japanese. The situation was getting more and more serious. There were too many refugees, and order could not be managed at all. The city was already in chaos.

There were people grabbing things everywhere. This scene Fang Ming seemed to have seen in Leningrad.

Fortunately, it didn't affect the army, and of course, no one was so blind...

Fang Ming was guarding against the Japanese attack on the position, and suddenly saw a large group of officers walking over. Fang Ming was a bit curious:

"Is this to boost morale?"

A young soldier next to him directly dropped his gun:

"Maybe it's to surrender."

Fang Ming and the friends in the live stream had question marks on their faces:

"What?"

The young British Federation soldier was still a bit surprised:

"You don't know?"

"It spread in the camp last night."

Fang Ming’s mouth twitched. He skipped or went offline at night, how could he know:

"No?"

"So many people, just surrender like this?"

The young British Federation soldier shook his head and said:

"Those officers ran away long ago."

"Just left us here, why should we fight for them?"

Fang Ming was stunned. That's what he said... it made sense. Fang Ming watched the group of officers walk to the front of the position and raise a white flag.

Okay...

It really is surrender.

Fang Ming didn't resist anymore, dropped the gun in his hand, sat down directly, and then looked at the young soldier next to him and asked:

"You see it quite clearly, where in the federation are you from?"

"So young and came out to be a soldier."

The young soldier sat on the ground and lay back:

"Dover."

"Ever heard of it?"

Fang Ming smiled when he heard this:

"Of course."

"I've been there."

The iron fans in the live stream also remembered where Dover was. It was when he teamed up with Yu Feng to be chased and bombed during the [Battle of Britain].

However, the entire Dover was almost destroyed by the air raid at that time.

Fang Ming said:

"I remember it was bombed very severely by the Empire, don't know what the situation is now."

The young soldier closed his eyes and said with a smile:

"What else can it be?"

"Still the same, ruins everywhere."

Fang Ming asked curiously:

"Then why not stay there and build your hometown."

"Always safer than the battlefield."

The young soldier was silent for a moment and said without any fluctuation:

"My family all died in that air raid."

The voice was light.

But Fang Ming and the friends in the live stream couldn't help but be stunned.

[Battle of Britain] and Dover, for Fang Ming and the friends in the live stream, could only be considered a dungeon they participated in and watched, but now...

Is the plot really this detailed, or are the experiences of every NPC real?

But this is just a game, how could it be a real experience?

But if it's a setting, it's too ridiculous, right? Every NPC's story is detailed to this extent?

Fang Ming’s brain was a bit chaotic, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

The friends in the live stream were also silent. A few short sentences made the brains of a group of old friends buzz.

At this time.

There was a sudden commotion outside, followed by a large number of Japanese soldiers entering the city.

The surrounding British Federation soldiers dropped their weapons one after another and were soon gathered together. Fang Ming could only follow the crowd:

"Being captured by NPCs... there's no one else."

"There aren't many on the whole Internet."

The cruelty of the European battlefield made many players unable to hold on until they were captured, so there are very few game videos about being captured on the Internet.

Fang Ming was captured now, so he simply changed the title of the live stream to "Captured Online" to attract traffic.

With the large-scale entry of Japanese soldiers into the city, the British Federation soldiers were just locked up, looking like there was no difference, but not long after.

Fang Ming and some soldiers were called out. Fang Ming didn't know why, until he was taken out of the camp,

and was directly tied up by the surrounding Japanese soldiers, only then did he feel something was wrong.

The barrage in the live stream rolled.

[What's the situation, is the streamer going to be gone?]

[No, didn't they surrender, what are they doing?]

[This posture seems to be going to the execution ground.]

[No way, killing prisoners?]

Fang Ming also had a bad premonition and said to the live stream:

"Maybe there's something else?"

"'Earth' has something called the 'Geneva Convention', so they shouldn't kill prisoners."

"It's estimated that I killed too many devils, maybe they want to torture me?"

"The soldiers around are also quite accurate in marksmanship."

"Brothers, it's time for the performance."

"I'll adjust the pain to the lowest first, let these native NPCs know what an iron-blooded tough guy is!"

Saying this, Fang Ming opened the game settings and set the pain directly to the lowest 5%.

This way, even if a shell hits his face, he only feels a numbness on his face and won't have any pain.

The barrage in the live stream rolled crazily.

[Rough, why didn't I think of playing like this?]

[Laughing to death, an iron-blooded tough guy with pain adjusted to 5%?]

[In this situation, you have to use beauty temptation.]

[Hahahahaha, can withstand torture, but can't withstand beauty~]

Fang Ming was a bit speechless. How does this look like they want to give him beauty? He walked a distance with those Japanese soldiers and entered a barracks.

It was originally a British Federation barracks, now all occupied by Japanese soldiers.

There were also Japanese soldiers training with bayonets. Seeing Fang Ming and others being pushed in, the faces of these Japanese soldiers couldn't help but reveal ferocious smiles, and they were "Yoshi" in their mouths.

That chilling smile and jagged gaze made Fang Ming and the friends in the live stream feel a chill.

Don't know what these Japanese want to do.

But one thing is certain, the nickname "little devils" was definitely not wrong...

Once entering the barracks, without other lines of sight.

These Japanese soldiers simply stopped acting, directly pushing and scolding Fang Ming and others, walking toward the center of the training ground, and then tied them to new wooden stakes.

Then those Japanese soldiers holding bayonets began to line up in front of them.

Fang Ming’s heart sank:

"These guys, don't they abide by the Geneva Convention?"

Looking at the smiling Japanese soldiers, Fang Ming seemed to have guessed something. The friends in the live stream were also shocked by this scene, filling the screen with question marks.

However.

Fang Ming and the friends in the live stream still underestimated the lower limit of these Japanese soldiers, giving the friends on Blue Star a lesson.

I saw those Japanese soldiers lining up, and a Japanese soldier, with a ferocious smile, took a bayonet and stood in front of Fang Ming, screaming in his mouth, then suddenly stabbed out!

Pfft!

Although the pain was adjusted low, he could clearly feel the cold blade passing through his stomach.

Although there was no pain, the cold and delicate chill spread all over Fang Ming, making him widen his eyes:

"I c?!"

Fang Ming struggled frantically!

Damn it?!

If I knew it would be like this, why surrender? Should have killed these damn things!

But in this situation, how could he break free.

Watching Fang Ming struggling frantically in rage, the Japanese soldier opposite revealed a satisfied smile, twisted the bayonet and pulled it out, then beckoned backward.

Some Japanese soldiers with fearful expressions walked up, holding bayonets, and under the urging of that Japanese officer, their expressions gradually became ferocious.

Then they also screamed and stabbed at Fang Ming!

Pfft!

Next one...

Pfft!

Next one...

The enraged Fang Ming gradually felt unable to control his body, but the feeling of anger did not decrease at all, until after the nth Japanese devil.

The line of sight fell into darkness.

Fang Ming returned to the game main interface:

"Rough TM!"

"I'm going to kill these Japanese devils!"

"Abusing prisoners of war?!"

"These damn beasts! Pissed me off!!!"

It's suffocating. If I knew it would be like this, I would rather have died in a charge than surrender.

As a result, I watched these Japanese devils laughing and stabbing me one by one, and I couldn't even resist. This is so frustrating.

Even if I had a knife, it would be fine to kill two little devils, it's really disgusting.

Not only Fang Ming was angry, but the friends in the live stream were also very angry.

Especially the appearance of those little devils laughing.

Fang Ming was going to start again.

At this time, the barrage floated by.

[Don't open Southeast Asia anymore, after Singapore surrendered, the British Federation has almost no resistance power in Southeast Asia, and the 'real-time map' on the Polar Star official website has changed color.]

[If you open Southeast Asia again, it is estimated that you will still be a prisoner of war.]

Fang Ming gritted his teeth and opened the "real-time map" on the Polar Star official website, and it really was.

From Malaysia to Singapore, it was all occupied by Japan. The British Federation's power here already existed in name only. Starting again is estimated to be a beating.

But enduring it like this is too suffocating.

The friends in the barrage said.

[Go to accelerate and skip the plot, some acceleration skipped to May, Japan has already fought with the American Freedom Federation, you choose the American Freedom Federation to restart.]

[You search other live streams and you will know, Mo Xiaomo, Yu Feng are all accelerating the plot and fighting.]

Fang Ming looked at the barrage, directly opened the Sky Shark live stream, entered the game zone, and saw Mo Xiaomo, who was in the top few in popularity, and clicked into the live stream.

In the live stream.

Mo Xiaomo was driving a plane, flying in the sky, surrounded by American Freedom Federation planes and Japanese fighter jets. Mo Xiaomo was nervously controlling the plane.

Adjusted an angle, then pressed the mounted machine gun button.

Rat-tat-tat-tat—a burst of machine gun fire swept over, not hitting a single bullet. Mo Xiaomo was a bit broken:

"Yi yi yi yi yi, is this plane too hard to fly?!"

"Hit someone yi!!!"

Seeing that he didn't hit, Mo Xiaomo controlled the plane to turn around.

Suddenly, a string of machine gun sounds rang in his ears, the plane's fuselage trembled, and then the glass in front of the cockpit suddenly shattered, and a string of machine gun bullets penetrated.

Pfft! Pfft!

Mo Xiaomo was directly beaten into a sieve on half of his body, and the interface went black.

Returned to the game main interface.

In the live stream, Mo Xiaomo leaned back on the chair, looking lifeless:

"Too hard, I'd better change to another federation."

"Died three times in half an hour."

"I'm not suitable for flying a plane, land combat is better."

Mo Xiaomo chose to start with another federation on the game main interface.

Fang Ming touched his chin, feeling a bit interesting.

Then he clicked into Yu Feng's live stream. Yu Feng's live stream was on the [North African Battlefield], but compared to Mo Xiaomo's rookie operation.

Yu Feng was much more thrilling.

Because of his military rank, he was directly a commander, sitting in the best tank, racing in the desert with the Empire's tanks.

The sniper's accuracy seemed to have been brought into the tank.

Hundreds of meters apart, the racing Federation tank, under Yu Feng's command, fired a shell, directly predicting and hitting the Empire tank moving forward.

Boom—!!!

A huge fireball soared into the sky in the desert. Although he was clear about Yu Feng's plot timeline, he could see that this guy accelerated and skipped a lot of plot, because the Allied forces on the [North African Battlefield] were at a disadvantage.

How could they let Yu Feng come out to wave like this.

How could he let Yu Feng go out and mess around like that?

Fang Ming watched for a while and returned to his live stream:

"A bit interesting."

"Didn't notice when looking at the announcement before."

"I'll skip it now."

Then clicked on the immersive plot, followed the steps commanded by the players in the live stream, and started skipping February... March...

April...

Until May 1942, Fang Ming stopped:

"This is the timeline of Mo Xiaomo's immersive plot, right?"

"Let me see, then mode selection...: [Earth Battlefield]."

"The [Daily Plot] we will choose, mainly to kill those little Japanese devils."

After Fang Ming finished choosing and clicked to start.

The screen flashed.

What came into view was the endless sea, the sky was just dawning, and a prompt appeared in front of him.

[Pacific Ocean]

Then the screen gradually turned black, prompt:

[Battle of the Coral Sea]

Several large characters, then lit up.

Looks like it should be a general plot.

Then the perspective fell, Fang Ming could control his body, then looked around, he was a pilot, the same as Mo Xiaomo.

Soon a military officer with the text "Rear Admiral Fletcher" appeared next to him, gathering pilots to issue tasks.

Fang Ming lined up in the third wave of takeoff pilot formation. After Rear Admiral Fletcher left, Fang Ming walked to the plane and said to the live stream:

"I'll check the map first."

Saying this, he opened the real-time map of Polar Star official website, but the timeline of the real-time map was still the situation in February 1942 for most people.

But Fang Ming still found the location of an island:

"The goal of the American Freedom Federation is to raid Tulagi Island. Although the map on Polar Star's official website currently shows the American Freedom Federation force."

"But that was February, my plot now jumped to May. According to the meaning of that Rear Admiral just now,"

"It has already been occupied by Japan."

"Occupying this place can be used as a base to support the invasion from all sides."

"Equivalent to cutting off the connection between the American Freedom Federation and the British Federation and other allies."

"This place is a bit fatal."

"However, the American Freedom Federation is also weak, two aircraft carriers, nearly two hundred fighter jets."

"This thing is also a killer-level existence under the current technology of 'Earth'."

"This time we should be able to kill those Japanese."

Fang Ming got on the plane, looked at the operation prompt in front of him, and when it was his turn, Fang Ming followed the prompt and took off quickly, following the formation, looking at the seascape below, while saying:

"The intelligence says that a Japanese aircraft carrier was found."

"So the mission of our three aircraft formations is to bomb the Japanese aircraft carrier."

"Watch how I bomb them!"

Fang Ming took off the plane. His anger toward the Japanese devils had not yet dissipated. After all, it was the first time he had died in such a suffocating way.

If he didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

On the other side.

Polar Star Company temporary headquarters.

Zhao Ming called up the game's background data. Many players had already skipped the plot.

However, in order to prevent skipping too fast, the maximum Zhao Ming set could only skip three months of plot, so now February can only jump to May.

That is, you can experience the [Battle of the Coral Sea].

And the [Battle of Midway], which determines the direction of the Pacific battlefield, happened in June, followed by battles like [Battle of Stalingrad], all of which have to wait until the press conference ends before going online.

However, the time of [Battle of Midway] is short, so Zhao Ming made it a limited-time dungeon, which can be experienced in one day.

As for the [Battle of Midway], which determined the overall direction of the Pacific theater, it took place in June, followed immediately by the [Battle of Stalingrad] and other campaigns, all of which would be launched after the press conference concluded.

Since the [Battle of Midway] was shorter in duration, Zhao Ming made it a limited-time instance, the kind that could be experienced in a single day.
