Chapter 126: 【Battle for the Central Station】 Fang Ming: Building fighting is too hard, let's fight street fighting (6.2k combined)

~20 min read 3,811 words

Due to the high intensity of the battlefield, in just one afternoon.

The number of player posts on the Polar Star forum grew like a rocket, all stunned by the intensity of 【The Battle of Stalingrad】.

These players also discovered that it wasn't that they were too bad.

But that even the Imperial and Soviet soldiers on "Earth" were no different from them, basically just filling in lives and not living much longer than them.

At the same time, there were many videos circulating on the Internet, constantly updating.

Some players even restarted 11 times in just three hours, making a compilation of death replays, none of which were deliberately looking for death, and even tried their best to save their lives, but couldn't survive at all.

This intensity of fighting, although mixed in the mouths of players.

But the military of major federations paid attention to this and began to send troops to try to fight with the soldiers on "Earth", but because of the intensity, none of them livestreamed.

After all, just watching the video, you know how hard this battle is.

If they livestream and get wiped out, it would be the entire federation that loses face, so it's better to practice first and see whether to livestream later.

And on the Polar Star company side.

Zhao Ming had been paying attention to the backend data.

Except for a slight fluctuation in the first hour, the number of online people in the 【Battle of Stalingrad】 battlefield stabilized afterward.

Death could not stop the enthusiasm of the Blue Star players, but instead made them more serious.

Because 【The Battle of Stalingrad】 was fought for a long time, Zhao Ming made different key areas according to the months.

Currently, it is July in the game.

Players who did not choose to challenge for the 【Stalingrad Medal】 would mostly be assigned to front-line troops, assigned from a global perspective to various places to fight for positions with Imperial soldiers,

Although many players complained, and even died 11 times in three hours.

But they didn't know... the hell difficulty in the mouths of Blue Star players was only the primary stage.

The tragic degree of the battlefield behind is gradually escalating.

That's why Zhao Ming paid attention to the data for an afternoon, and only after seeing that the Blue Star players had adapted did he feel relieved, otherwise he would have to lower the difficulty a bit.

The key area in July is full-line fighting.

And some players will be assigned to the "Dzerzhinsky Tractor Plant", also known as the Stalingrad Tractor Plant.

As the largest tractor plant in the Soviet Federation, it was urgently converted to military industry after the war started, producing T-34 tanks under the fierce bombing of the Empire.

When time was tight, the newly assembled T-34 tanks were driven to the battlefield without paint, and then quickly perished or were scrapped with Imperial armor. Not only was the survival time of the soldiers less than 24 hours.

Even these newly assembled tanks, many had a lifespan of less than 24 hours.

But even in such a situation, this largest tractor plant in the Soviet Union held on for several months, creating a record of producing over two hundred tanks a month while the factory was 60% bombed and destroyed.

Here, let Blue Star players experience the will of the Soviet people.

Use these to attract players and feel the novel experience.

Then, starting from August, slowly spread out the big pits that had been dug.

August is mainly to throw players into the South Railway Station to experience the initial station battle.

The intensity at this time is only slightly stronger than the full-line war.

And September is the 【Mamayev Kurgan】 battle opened according to the change of the whole situation. On this small hill with an altitude of 102 meters and an area of less than 2 square kilometers, more than 100,000 people died.

Casualties exceeded 2,000 a day, and a division was wiped out in three days.

Players will restart to the team or the supporting team after death.

October is the full version of the station battle...

Changing hands multiple times in one day, the extreme tug-of-war of human flesh and blood.

November's Pavlov's House defense battle...

When the entire 【Battle of Stalingrad】 is finished, calculating the number of deaths of players, perhaps they will know how many lives it takes to shout 'war' 'war'.

Observed for an afternoon.

After seeing the backend data in the game stabilize, Zhao Ming pressed a button on the desktop.

In the open space of the office in front, projections of virtual Earths began to appear.

Zhao Ming had already finished the various battles on "Earth" in 1942 in the game, and the 【Battle of Kursk】 in 1943, the largest tank battle in Earth's history, was also finished.

According to the current time flow in the game, it will take at least two months in reality to reach that timeline, so there is no rush to make the 【WWII Series】 for now.

Zhao Ming looked at the virtual Earths one by one.

He raised his hand and pointed to the front left, opening the 【Huaxia Series】 Earth.

Similarly, according to different dynasties, several virtual Earth projections appeared in front of Zhao Ming. He scanned the dynasties one by one, and finally locked onto the 【Three Kingdoms Earth】 projection.

Preparing to look at the data for the next 【Huaxia History Series】 update.

Zhao Ming's gaze scanned the territory of 【Three Kingdoms Earth】, finally clicked on a certain place, brought up the character list of this force, and then began to edit.

【...】

On the other side.

The Daxia Federation had just turned dark, while the Antarctic Star Federation was almost dawn.

Because of the promotion of the Federation, 《World War II: Rise of the Empire》 had gradually become popular in the Antarctic Star Federation in the past month, although it was still a bit worse than the local games of the Antarctic Star Federation.

Because the Antarctic Star Federation itself has heavy industry, whether it is the military or games.

They all pay more attention to armor. The military is famous for its armored troops, and civilian games also have a lot of armor, and mecha are relatively popular. 《World War II: Rise of the Empire》 has more or less something to do with armor. Although the tanks and other armor in the game are very backward, this primitive wild feeling also attracted many players.

At this time.

Inside the Source Star livestream platform, the largest livestream platform in the Antarctic Star Federation.

Although it was the early morning of the dawn, the livestream room of a father and son was still hot, and teasing words kept floating on the chat.

Inside the livestream.

Young Federal University graduate Theodore was struggling to keep his eyelids from fighting, thanking the viewers for the gifts in the livestream:

"Thanks to 'Count' for the asteroid, um... which one is it?"

"Let me see... this is already the 5th tank Dad led the team to make in the game today."

"Oh, damn."

"Do you know what a retired old man's struggle is?"

"It's just too crazy."

The livestream room was full of teasing voices. Many viewers from the Antarctic Star Federation were watching Theodore's father leading Soviet workers to build tanks from Theodore's perspective.

The hot atmosphere made people unable to stop watching, just like watching various mechanical parts being hand-crafted on the Federal Xunyin platform.

And the difference is that this is mechanical plus hand-crafted T-34, which looks more interesting.

The only one being tortured might be Theodore, who didn't listen to his father's advice to study mechanics because he wasn't interested in mechanics, and even hated mechanics when he was a child. As a result, now for the heat...

Could only livestream with tears, people were exhausted.

He was originally a new streamer, coming to livestream because 《World War II: Rise of the Empire》 was very popular.

After playing a few battlefields.

He was randomly assigned to this place called the 'Dzerzhinsky Tractor Plant'.

He already hated mechanics, but looking at the various tasks of manufacturing parts, his head was big, so he simply pulled his retired senior armored maintenance technician father Charlie into the game.

Wanted to let his father give some pointers, and by the way, ease the somewhat stiff father-son relationship.

As a result, this pointer didn't matter.

His father Charlie, after entering the game, was immediately attracted by the hot atmosphere of the 'Dzerzhinsky Tractor Plant', missed his youth, and even forgot to give him pointers, directly joining the Soviet worker army.

It just so happens that consuming physical strength in the game actually has no effect on reality.

And you can adjust the perception degree. So father Charlie, who adjusted part of the fatigue perception to low, fell into a workaholic mode and, relying on his technical knowledge as a "senior armored maintenance technician" on Blue Star, overcame several problems.

Making the production speed of tanks in this "Dzerzhinsky Tractor Plant" in the instance much faster than other instances. Watching his father who fell into immersive work mode, Theodore was numb.

It was because his father was a workaholic when he was young that the relationship was average.

Thinking of taking the opportunity to give pointers to ease it.

As a result, his father fell into workaholic mode again, which made Theodore angry and helpless, so he could only complain on the Internet. As a result, he became popular overnight, and his father worked for nearly 6 hours.

Many viewers in the livestream watched for 6 hours.

Theodore didn't understand what was so good about this ding-ding, and the sound of mechanical operation, but the heat was really high.

For money, let's livestream.

Theodore rubbed his face, got up to get a glass of ice water, drank it, and let out a long sigh:

"No, I have to buy some nutrient solution tomorrow."

"I can't hold on like this."

Who knows how a retired old man can stay up so late, it's been 6 hours, usually he would be asleep at this point. Returning to the game again.

Theodore witnessed the birth of a tank under his father's leadership again, gifts flooded the livestream room, Theodore showed a smile:

"Thanks to 'Leon' for the little meteorite, thanks..."

Just as he was thanking them with a grin, his father Charlie's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Theodore! Theodore!"

The voice was very loud, and the people around looked strange. Theodore ran over and whispered:

"My identity in the game is Artyom..."

Father Charlie waved his hand:

"That doesn't matter."

"Quick, drive this tank away, don't take up space."

Theodore's face was stunned:

"Why should I drive it?"

"Where are those soldiers?"

Father Charlie scanned the surroundings:

"It's because I can't find them that I'm asking you to drive it away, don't delay the next tank from leaving the factory."

Theodore's mouth twitched, and the livestream room was also making a fuss. In the end, he could only say helplessly:

"Okay, where to drive it?"

Father Charlie said:

"Anywhere, go wherever others go."

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Saying that, he turned and left to join the manufacturing of a new tank. Theodore looked at the tank in front of him that didn't even have paint, and it still exuded the fishy sweetness of welding. He could only climb into the tank. There was a system prompt that even one person could drive it.

Under the guidance of the system prompt, Theodore successfully drove this newly manufactured T-34 out. Although it was slow, it drove out of the factory area steadily. Because he was not very familiar with the game, he could only ask the viewers in the livestream:

"Uh... drove it out, but where to go next?"

Soon.

Under the guidance of many viewers in the livestream, Theodore drove around in the city of Stalingrad.

"Damn, where is this?"

"Is that the railway station ahead?"

"So much gunfire, I don't have a loader and a gunner."

"No, I have to go back."

In the sky, the buzzing of bombers swept past, and a series of small black dots fell. At this time, Theodore in the tank didn't know anything, and was preparing to turn back, and called half a person over:

"One person can't fight, and I don't seem to have brought shells."

"Must..."

Boom boom boom boom!!!

The screen went dark.

This T-34 tank, which had been out of the factory for less than half an hour, was scrapped just like that.

In the distance.

On the ruins of a high building near the Central Railway Station.

On the ruins of a high-rise near the central station.

"Ah this..."

Holding it for a long time, only one sentence came out:

"Feels a bit wasteful."

The brand-new tank didn't even have paint, and it was gone just like that.

Mo Xiaomo shook her head:

"What a pity."

The livestream room also flooded with messages:

【Indeed, this tank died too miserably.】

【Brand new degree 100%, scrap degree 100%】

【A bit strange, why didn't this tank follow the main force, and was wandering around here by itself.】

【Don't know, got lost?】

【Should be a newly manufactured tank, some tanks because there are not enough soldiers, those workers will drive them out directly to the battlefield.】

【Ah? Is that so... Pity.】

The livestream room was discussing, not knowing that it was also a streamer on the other side of the Blue Star.

Mo Xiaomo was at the highest point of a building ruin, covered with a gray curtain she pulled over casually. Stalingrad in July had begun to change, plus continuous bombing.

The air was filled with the smell of scorched earth and gunpowder smoke.

The map yesterday was not wrong, she was at the Central Railway Station.

After looking at the map and the explanations from the viewers in the livestream last night.

Mo Xiaomo also understood that this is Stalingrad, which is divided into two places by the Volga River, an important transportation hub. As a storage place connecting the two places, no wonder the slaughter yesterday was so tragic.

And today is the same.

Mo Xiaomo, who walked out of the building, knew how tragic it was here.

Stuka bombers kept coming.

Bombing the station, Mo Xiaomo had no choice but to cover herself with a gray curtain, lie on the ruins, and use the rifle in her hand to quietly shoot cold shots while the fighting was fierce.

Bang!

A shot fired.

In the street where the battle was raging in the distance, an Imperial soldier's neck bled and he fell to the ground instantly.

Mo Xiaomo smiled:

"Hit again! That's the 3rd one, and they still haven't found me."

Although it was the 18th bullet, and she only hit the 3rd one.

"You guys tell me, is it powerful?"

"I put on this gray curtain, absolutely a battlefield killer..."

Before the word 'killer' could be spat out.

Mo Xiaomo was suddenly strangled by the neck. The rope of unknown material, plus huge strength, made Mo Xiaomo widen her eyes, and she could only make a little sound:

"Gua... ne..."

Click!

The crisp sound of bone cracking.

The screen went black instantly.

Inside the livestream room, Mo Xiaomo stayed in place, not having recovered yet:

"I'm gone?"

Obviously... yes.

Mo Xiaomo grabbed her hair in anger:

"Ah ah ah ah, didn't even see what they looked like."

"No."

"Start another game, that guy shouldn't have run far, I'll see if I can randomly open back."

"Pissed me off!!!"

Mo Xiaomo sought to click 【Battle of Stalingrad】 to choose to start again.

However...

The scene that came into view was stunned.

The heat wave wrapped in the smell of diesel and gunpowder swept through the entire steel factory area.

The giant chimney in the distance was emitting thick black smoke, there were huge steel supports everywhere, and the roar was incessant. This is the roar of the war machine in the industrial war era, running at full capacity.

Looking up, only a feeling of insignificance filled the whole body.

Workers covered in oil were carrying parts and assembling components, and various communication and discussion sounds came.

The factory broadcast was playing non-stop, and a hoarse and firm voice rang out:

"The enemy has entered the urban area of Stalingrad, but we must not retreat."

"The Empire's ambition will not succeed..."

In this environment, she was instantly brought into resonance.

Mo Xiaomo was a bit numb:

"This..."

Looking up at the steel factory from Mo Xiaomo's perspective, it brought shock to the viewers in the livestream. It's not that no one livestreamed this "Dzerzhinsky Tractor Plant", but Mo Xiaomo's angle was too good.

Panoramic view, atmosphere, plus noisy communication and broadcast.

Made people a bit trance, immersed.

Suddenly.

Someone pushed Mo Xiaomo from behind, and a female worker's voice rang out:

"What are you still doing?"

"Hurry up and work."

Mo Xiaomo turned to look.

And the young female worker had already pushed a cart of parts and pushed into the workshop.

Looking down at the parts at her feet, and the prompt, Mo Xiaomo reacted, and hugged a pile of steel pipes into the huge workshop in a daze.

Just entered the workshop.

A hotter heat wave swept over, Mo Xiaomo put down the steel pipes according to the prompt.

A loud roar rang in her ears:

"Theodore! Theodore!!!"

Mo Xiaomo looked, it was a bearded uncle.

The young worker next to him ran over:

"Dad, I'm called Alyo..."

Before he finished, he was interrupted by the bearded uncle:

"Okay, that doesn't matter, hurry up and drive this tank away!"

"Don't take up space!"

The young worker was a bit collapsed:

"Don't, I just died once."

"Not every time can I randomly come back."

Bang!

The bearded uncle went up and kicked him:

"If you can drag it for a few minutes, you didn't sacrifice in vain."

"Don't let those Imperial bastards break in!"

The young worker's expression was loveless:

"No?"

"How come you are getting more and more immersed, Dad..."

Bang!

Another kick.

"Hurry up and drive the tank away!"

"Don't delay production!"

The young worker roared to the sky helplessly, then nimbly climbed into the tank and started it.

Mo Xiaomo watched from the side with wide eyes.

Is this a father and son playing games together?

The livestream viewers were also silent for a while, and then the screen was full of 6s.

【Good guy, this old man's tone is just like the Soviet uncle.】

【True "immersive" game, you guys are far behind.】

【Laughing to death, look at that guy, he's about to collapse.】

【Wait... what is he doing?】

【Hiss, the way this tank is driving crookedly...】

【Damn? So that tank just now was messed up by this guy?】

Mo Xiaomo also felt it was interesting, and asked the assistant in the livestream to cut the scene of the tank being bombed just now and this clip, and send it out.

Of course.

Must cut out the part where she was strangled.

That was too embarrassing.

Afterwards, Mo Xiaomo looked at this huge mechanical project, the sound of operation was roaring, everyone was high-spirited, and even she was brought into it.

Being a worker is not bad.

Joined the team of producing tanks in full swing, hugged a pile of parts and moved quickly, watching the worker uncles assemble,

For a time, many viewers were attracted by the assembly of tanks.

On the other side.

Near the Central Railway Station, Yu Feng, who was hiding in the building, watched the Imperial soldier on the ruins outside pick up a gray curtain and prepare to cover himself.

Bang!

A shot fired.

As a top sniper, Yu Feng naturally wouldn't miss.

Even a rifle was a one-shot kill.

Watching the corpse of the Imperial soldier fall, Yu Feng shook his head. That Soviet soldier lying on the ruins,

He had seen it before, but didn't expect that he hadn't looked for a while, and he was strangled.

"Pity, that guy should be a new soldier."

Yu Feng said, and the viewers in the livestream were happy.

【Gray curtain? Corpse? Isn't that Mo Xiaomo?】

【Randomly in the same game?】

【Recorded, recorded, dare to call the first sister of Tian Sha game section a new soldier, you're done, Little Feng.】

【Hahahaha, going to Mo Xiaomo's livestream room to report.】

Yu Feng looked at the chat and his mouth twitched:

"What the hell?"

"That's Little Mo?"

"And what new soldier, I just said new soldier, okay?!"

"You guys don't add drama!"

He had already discovered it, but only glanced at it, and the viewers in the livestream didn't pay attention, until just now that gray curtain was recognized by the viewers, and Yu Feng also knew that it was Mo Xiaomo...

But her technique... it is indeed a new soldier!

Of course, Yu Feng couldn't say it in the livestream, coughed twice, and said with a straight face:

"I am upright and not afraid of shadows, you black fans!"

"Humph hum—"

At this time, Fang Ming sent a message from the room:

"It won't work, being trapped in the building like this is not a way."

"Those who challenge for the 【Medal】 will restart in the building."

"But in this situation, where can I complete the 【Stalingrad Medal】 challenge?"

"Wait for dark to kill out, fight street fighting."

"I see the Central Railway Station nearby is quite intense, and there are Soviet troops, going out with the cover of those troops, coordinating to fight street fighting, should be a little better."

Yu Feng looked at the Central Railway Station outside, it would be dark in an hour.

Yu Feng glanced at the central station outside; it would be dark in another hour.
