Chapter 131: [Mamayev Kurgan] Battle for Control, and the Competition with

Mo Xiaomo looked at the map.

She found Mamayev Kurgan mentioned in the Polar Star official website announcement. There were no buildings there, only a small hill.

And below it was a small part of the urban area, and further east was the Volga River.

Just a hillside.

It seemed there was no need to fight for it.

Many novice friends in the live broadcast room didn't understand either, only some players who knew how to analyze the war situation knew the importance of this place.

Because it overlooks from a high position, it can overlook this half of the city divided by the Volga River.

If a firepower point is set up here, not only can it attack soldiers crossing the river to support, but it can also carry out high-altitude strikes against this half of the city.

(Original Mamayev Kurgan, now the location of the Motherland Calls statue, overlooking from a high position, opposite is the urban area and the Volga River, can clearly observe Soviet soldiers crossing the river, and carry out artillery strikes.)

(ps: The importance of a clear and distinct commanding height.)

With Mamayev Kurgan found, everyone was very familiar with the Central Station here and didn't need to look for it again.

It was just that the [Pavlov's House] mentioned in the Polar Star official website announcement was never found.

For this reason, Mo Xiaomo even went to the player forum to take a look.

As a result, among so many players, not a single one found it, so they guessed that the building was either not built yet, or it was named after a combat hero.

Now it was wartime again, obviously the second probability was higher.

It might be a building named after a combat hero. Now that it couldn't be found, they could only wait until November.

Mo Xiaomo finished reading the announcement and returned to the game.

At this time, the "death whistle" of the Stuka was still circling over the factory, and Mo Xiaomo shrank her body:

"This sound is a bit worrying."

"How was it researched?"

Just finished complaining.

The roof of the workshop was suddenly smashed through by something, and broken building materials smashed down.

Boom— Mo Xiaomo, who was hiding above the mechanical equipment, seemed to be hit by something, shaking Mo Xiaomo until her whole body went numb.

Boom!!!

Flames instantly engulfed everything around, Mo Xiaomo could even hear the sound of the mechanical equipment twisting and deforming, and the screen instantly fell into darkness.

"No way!!!"

Mo Xiaomo was in the game's main interface, wanting to cry without tears:

"Is this also possible?!"

"It's over."

"Going to be cannon fodder."

The game time had entered August, and it would no longer restart to the Tractor Factory. The barrage in the live broadcast room floated by.

[Laughing to death, your luck is really something.]

[Hiding so tightly, yet still being blown to death, there's no one else.]

[Go to the Central Station, take revenge fiercely.]

[Go to the Central Station to be a target?]

[Die a few more times, you can always hit one.]

Mo Xiaomo felt hopeless and looked at the [Battle of Stalingrad] button:

"Live broadcast, attack the station."

"Fight it."

Clicked the button.

The screen flashed, and Mo Xiaomo entered the game.

The noisy sound of fighting came to her ears, and there were sounds of machine guns and rifles everywhere. Mo Xiaomo couldn't help but click her tongue:

"Fighting as soon as I come up, so stimu..."

Bang!

The screen fell into darkness.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"What kind of... game is this?!"

"Again!"

The intensity of the battle at the Central Station, although it hadn't reached the peak of October.

But in the eyes of many Blue Star players, it was already hell-level difficulty. If you didn't hide at the beginning, you would basically be killed as soon as you showed your head... Fortunately, there was an official live broadcast organized by the Antarctic Star Federation.

Constantly fighting for the south of the Central Station with Empire soldiers.

Watching the Central Station pulling back and forth, Blue Star players couldn't help but start supporting the Antarctic Star Federation.

After all, they couldn't lose face for Blue Star! The "Earthlings" in this game are very good at fighting, but their Blue Star troops are not vegetarian either!

Following the live broadcast of the strategy for the Central Station.

Gradually, it started to become formal. First, they got a host, then they specially found different perspectives, disguised and broadcasting the war situation everywhere, which could be switched at any time.

This avoided bloody scenes while clearly watching the war situation.

Especially the offense and defense between Empire soldiers and Antarctic Star Federation soldiers, both sides pulling back and forth, attracting many people to watch for half a day.

Coupled with the secret promotion on the Federation side.

For a time, the official live broadcast room of Antarctic Star exploded in popularity.

Players from other Federations watched while looking forward to their own Federation's broadcast, but looking at the announcement on the Polar Star official website, they all understood that it would be at least September. Just like that, under the torture of the Central Station.

Blue Star players spent a difficult month in the game.

And the time in the game finally reached September.

At this time.

The live broadcast platforms and streamers of major Federations were all paying attention to the live broadcast room of the Polar Star official website.

The game had been updated, and an entrance button exclusive to Federation troops appeared next to [Battle of Stalingrad], but ordinary players couldn't enter.

It required military personnel authorized by the Polar Star official website to be invited to enter.

Fang Ming was watching the official live broadcast room of the Polar Star official website with his friends.

The challenge mission of [Stalingrad Medal] had failed seven times, and he had no mood to continue for the time being, wanting to see if he could learn anything from the Federation live broadcast.

At this time, in the Polar Star official live broadcast room.

It was divided into seven big screens. Fang Ming counted twice and was a bit surprised:

"Didn't count wrong, there are seven."

"Aren't we just six major Federations?"

"What is that extra one for?"

The friends in the live broadcast room were also a bit confused. Some guessed it was a master streamer, some guessed it was a special force, but it felt unlikely.

At this time, it was just dawn on the Daxia Federation side, while other Federations were at noon, or just dark, which could be considered the time when the most people were awake on the entire Blue Star, and also the time with the most viewers.

Soon.

In the live broadcast room of the Polar Star official website, the first six big screens lit up one after another, and various barrages floated by.

[It's our Antarctic Star Federation troops! The first one to light up!!]

[Isn't it? Does this also have to fight for the first name?]

[Understand, that group of goods in the Antarctic Star Federation is just like that.]

[Slav Federation! Slav Federation!]

[Damn? Is the Golden Moon Federation led by their eldest prince?]

[It has to be the Golden Moon Federation that knows how to play.]

[Is my Daxia Federation the coolest in the whole field? Look at this temperament.]

In the six live broadcast rooms, each live broadcast room lit up, followed by rows of soldiers, all ready to enter the game.

Among them, the most unbearable one was the Golden Moon Federation.

Because the eldest prince of the Golden Moon Federation, not knowing if he had learned enough military strategy, actually led the team himself this time, looking like he was going to enter the game to command the battle.

Zhao Ming was also watching the live broadcast, although he had known it for a long time.

But looking at the eldest prince of the Golden Moon Federation, who should have been in white robes, now wearing a military uniform, with a little camouflage on his face, he still couldn't help but want to laugh.

With the lighting up of the six screens.

The seven screens in the Polar Star official live broadcast room shrank and then turned into a commentary hall.

A man and a woman, two hosts, walked up.

In Fang Ming's live broadcast room.

Fang Ming, who was planning to have a sip of cola:

"Pfft—"

"What the hell?"

He put down the cola in his hand and looked at the two people who appeared:

"How did these two guys run here to be hosts."

Fang Ming was particularly familiar with the two hosts, a man and a woman.

The woman was Mo Xiaomo.

The man... was his former teammate, whose game name was Tianji, but later because he was handsome, he simply ran to be an FPS game commentator.

Now he actually ran to Polar Star to host?

At this time.

In the Polar Star official live broadcast room.

Tianji and Mo Xiaomo sat on the commentary desk, one on the left and one on the right, with seven big screens behind them, facing the camera and saying:

"Hello everyone, I am Tianji."

"Hello everyone, I am Mo Xiaomo."

"It is a great honor to be invited. For the next period of time, we two will explain the war situation of the [Mamayev Kurgan Battle for Control] for everyone."

The two introduced in the live broadcast room.

Mo Xiaomo's popularity was not low, and although Tianji's popularity was a bit less, FPS players who had been commenting for many years were very familiar with him, so there was no feeling of strangeness.

With the Federation army in the six screens being pulled into the room one after another.

Obviously, the competition was about to start.

And in front of Tianji and Mo Xiaomo, a virtual map also appeared.

It was a panoramic view of the entire [Stalingrad] city, and it perfectly restored the current situation in the city, even the degree of damage to the buildings was restored.

Mo Xiaomo clicked on [Mamayev Kurgan] on the virtual map.

The three-dimensional virtual map zoomed in directly, appearing in front of everyone. Mo Xiaomo looked at Mamayev Kurgan and said to Tianji beside her:

"Although I might be a bit unprofessional in military terms, I still want to ask."

"How important is this highland?"

Although Mo Xiaomo had understood it long ago, the script was like this, so she was considered a foil.

Tianji heard Mo Xiaomo's question and said with a smile:

"Very big."

"How to say it?"

"If it is the Empire that occupies this place, then perhaps the Soviet Federation will fail."

"If it is the Soviet Federation that occupies this place, then perhaps the Empire will fail."

Mo Xiaomo widened her eyes:

"Is it that important?"

At this time, many friends watching the live broadcast, or those who didn't understand, also listened carefully.

Tianji raised his hand to zoom in on the virtual map again.

And the solidity was adjusted quite a bit, completely a secret model, turning the direction of the map.

Letting the perspective in the live broadcast room fall exactly above Mamayev Kurgan.

The Blue Star netizens watching the live broadcast could just look down at the entire Stalingrad from this angle.

Tianji explained:

"We all know that currently, the west side of the Volga River is occupied by the Empire."

"And the reason why the Soviet soldiers on the west side can resist and fight continuously with the Empire is because of the soldiers supported continuously from the east bank of the Volga River."

"Currently, there are two locations that must be occupied in the entire Stalingrad."

"One is the Central Station south of Mamayev Kurgan. The Central Station is an important transportation hub for maintaining material transportation, etc."

"So it is also one of the tragic locations of the battle."

"I think everyone has deeply experienced this last month."

"And the other is Mamayev Kurgan."

"Don't look at the small area of this hillside, but its position is higher than the entire city. Although the altitude of 102 meters is not very high, even saying that ordinary people can finish climbing the mountain in just a while."

"But."

"Here, as a commanding height, you can clearly overlook things on the opposite bank of the Volga River below."

"If this place is occupied by the Empire."

"Then the Soviet Federation troops on the opposite bank of the Volga River, wanting to cross the river to support, will be observed by the Empire side for the first time."

"If you set up an artillery camp here again."

"Bombing from a high position, you can directly block the support of the east bank of the Volga River to the west bank. And without support, the soldiers on the west bank will probably be wiped out in a few days."

"At that time, Stalingrad will be completely divided into two."

Tianji explained, and also clicked on the virtual map, showing virtual characters on Mamayev Kurgan, arranging artillery positions, and then firing.

You can see that the virtual shells, because of the high position, easily hit the other side of the river.

If this is an artillery veteran, even if only one company is stationed here, it will have a huge impact on the entire Battle of Stalingrad.

Mo Xiaomo now understood the importance even more, and the Blue Star netizens watching the live broadcast also widened their eyes.

They never thought that a small hillside would be so important.

This small hillside could even determine the outcome of the war. This is much more interesting than any competitive game.

At this time.

Just as the commentary voice fell, the Federation soldier teams in the live broadcast room also entered the game.

The screen shows the pitch-black Volga River.

The soldiers of the six major Federations were all on boats at the start, all in separate dungeons, with the same environmental conditions.

Looking from the eyes on the boat, on Mamayev Kurgan on the opposite side of the Volga River, there were still the firelight of gunfights and the roar of explosions. Obviously, they were fighting for that place at night too.

And the soldiers of the six major Federations were also crossing the river in an orderly manner to the opposite bank to fight for Mamayev Kurgan.

In the official live broadcast room.

Tianji said with a smile:

"Everyone might be curious, what is this seventh screen?"

"Actually, originally there were only six major Federations."

"But with only six major Federations, it seems that no one can tell who is powerful. However, if there is a control group, it will be much easier to handle."

"So our Polar Star Company's Mr. Zhao Ming."

"Specially set up this live broadcast room, and inside this live broadcast room..."

As the voice fell, the seventh screen lit up.

What came into view was actually Soviet Federation soldiers, also crossing the river on boats.

Tianji said with a smile:

"That's right."

"It is the Soviet Federation soldiers native to 'Earth'."

"In the original history of the Second World War on 'Earth,' what will be the result of the Battle of Stalingrad? Did Mamayev Kurgan, this highland, hold? What kind of impact will this war have on the world?"

"These, for now... I don't know either."

"But I believe these 'Earth' native NPCs will give us the answer."

"Of course."

"Although the 'Earth' native NPCs will give me the answer."

"But maybe our 'Blue Star' troops will give a more perfect answer?"

"Let's see, facing this 102-meter-high hillside."

"Let's see what kind of performance the 'Earth' troops and our 'Blue Star' troops have."

Mo Xiaomo also said with a smile:

"Everyone, please look forward to it~"

The two finished speaking.

The screen turned into three rows, three in each row.

And the third row was the "Earth" live broadcast room in the middle, with Tianji and Mo Xiaomo occupying one side each, just forming a 9-grid live broadcast room.

At this time, the scenes in the seven live broadcast rooms were all in the process of crossing the river.

Soon.

After landing on the shore.

In the live broadcast rooms of the six major Federations, the reaction and strategy of each live broadcast room were different.

On the Daxia Federation side.

In the live broadcast room, it was not the soldiers of the Seventh Special Operations Brigade, but new faces that had not been seen before. At this time, the Daxia Federation soldiers landed on the shore and dispersed into the darkness.

The screen was still.

For a time, netizens from major Federations couldn't find where the people were.

It was only with the automatic locking of the camera perspective.

The crowd watching the live broadcast discovered that the Daxia Federation soldiers relied on camouflage to blend into the darkness, quickly touching toward Mamayev Kurgan, which was in the middle of a firefight in the distance.

The Slav Federation side was relatively rough.

After landing on the shore, they directly marched in full gear, rushing toward Mamayev Kurgan. There was no consciousness of hiding at all. However, they encountered Empire soldiers not long after walking, and both sides exchanged fire.

It could be considered the first live broadcast room to start a war.

The Antarctic Star Federation side quickly assembled the mortar parts they carried after landing on the shore, and then the experienced artillerymen and a part of the guarding soldiers stayed in place.

The artillerymen first bombarded Mamayev Kurgan for a while.

Then, under escort, they changed positions, while the others had already rushed toward Mamayev Kurgan.

The tactics of the Yadong United Federation side were similar to the Daxia Federation side.

It's just that their camouflage technology was much worse than the Daxia Federation side, and flaws could be found at a glance. Players of the Yadong United Federation side were embarrassed to speak in the live broadcast room.

Golden Moon Federation, the eldest prince is arranging troops there...

Freedom Star Cluster Federation, chose to bypass from the north and sneak attack the Empire troops from behind...

For a time.

The situation in each different live broadcast room made Blue Star netizens dazzled, and they couldn't say what kind of excitement they felt.

Then there were the "Earth" native soldiers.

After landing, they rushed to support Mamayev Kurgan, which was fighting in the distance, without stopping.

Compared to the tactics or preparations of the major Blue Star Federations.

These native soldiers on "Earth" didn't seem to have any detailed plans; their only goal was Mamayev Kurgan in the distance.

This scene made Blue Star netizens feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was as if they had been looking forward to [Mamayev Kurgan] for so long, and the Federation troops were using tactics and layouts.

As a result, the "Earthlings" didn't seem to care about these things and directly participated in the battle.

Outside the live broadcast room.

Blue Star netizens with inexplicable moods watched the troops of major Federations and the "Earth" native troops gradually approach Mamayev Kurgan, all holding their breath.

At this time, except for the Slav Federation that encountered the enemy swaggeringly.

Other Federations were all approaching Mamayev Kurgan with the help of night camouflage. The Daxia Federation side was even so fast that it arrived at the foot of Mamayev Kurgan two minutes earlier than other Federations.

You must know that so many Federations landed at the same time.

How could the Daxia Federation be so fast?

Not only did Blue Star netizens have this doubt, but other Federations also did. This is a bit outrageous.

Suddenly.

The live broadcast screen switched to the Antarctic Star Federation.

Just as they were about to arrive at the foot of Mamayev Kurgan, they ran into the Empire's large army wanting to go to support Mamayev Kurgan.

The screen was still for a moment, then...

Bang! Bang! Rat-tat-tat-tat, intense gunfire rang out. Fortunately, below Mamayev Kurgan was the urban area, with many buildings.

If it were a plain, the Antarctic Star Federation would have suffered heavy losses in this first wave of engagement.

No one expected that the live broadcast effect was so good last month, and the currently most favored Antarctic Star Federation actually suffered a major blow first.

This was different from the small squad encountered by the Slav Federation, which was wiped out and then quickly hidden.

This is a large army. If it is not handled.

They might not even be able to reach Mamayev Kurgan and be blocked to death in the urban area.

Similarly.

Other Federations such as the Yadong United Federation also encountered this Empire large army, and even "Earth" native NPCs encountered it.

It's just that the soldiers in these live broadcast rooms all hid and avoided it.

It was the Slav Federation side, because of the previous battle, so this large army was searching around, and soon the Slav Federation side also exchanged fire.

And the netizens on the Daxia Federation side were a bit fortunate.

Fortunately, the Daxia Federation side was fast.

Before this Empire large army arrived, they had already touched Mamayev Kurgan.

At this time, they had already walked to the mountainside.

The firefight above was intense, and the Daxia Federation soldiers, with the help of the night, had not been discovered and were approaching silently.

The eyes of Blue Star netizens gradually locked onto the Daxia Federation live broadcast room.

At this time.

The screen suddenly switched to the "Earth" live broadcast room.

The Soviet Federation soldiers who had hidden and camouflaged well had already avoided the Empire large army and could leave as soon as they went far away.

But looking at the backs of the Empire large army, these Soviet Federation soldiers actually picked up their weapons one after another, loaded them.

Want to fight?!

This... why?

Blue Star netizens' minds flashed with question marks, somewhat puzzled by the operation of the Soviet Federation soldiers.

At this time, hiding should be the best. After all, the Yadong United Federation, Freedom Star Cluster Federation, etc., soldiers didn't move.

Many Blue Star netizens, even if they didn't understand, knew that hiding was the best.

Only in this way would they not consume too much strength and attack Mamayev Kurgan.

On the commentary desk in the live broadcast room.

Tianji looked at the screen and said:

"Well... it looks like the native NPCs on 'Earth' are preparing to fight."

Mo Xiaomo was a bit puzzled:

"This doesn't conform to interests, right?"

"Isn't it better to save strength to attack Mamayev Kurgan?"

Tianji nodded, looked at the screen, thought for a while and said:

"That's what is said."

"But we have to consider multiple factors."

"First of all, from our perspective, we have to start from interests and preserve strength."

"But if we stand from the perspective of the 'Soviet Federation' soldiers, perhaps they will make the determination to fight because of hatred."

"What's more, this Empire large army, from the route, is also supporting Mamayev Kurgan."

"They will meet sooner or later."

"So the Soviet soldiers on 'Earth' might have made the decision to fight."

As soon as the words fell.

Two gunshots rang out at the same time.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rat-tat-tat-tat, in the dim night, the gunfire that suddenly rang out in the live broadcast rooms on both sides lit up the live broadcast room.

Blue Star netizens watching the live broadcast didn't know where to look for a while.

Both sides were very intense.

The "Earth" live broadcast room on the left and the Daxia live broadcast room on the right suddenly jumped to the front of other live broadcast rooms, appearing side by side.

The Soviet NPCs in the "Earth" live broadcast room on the left shot at the Empire's large army from behind, and in the Daxia live broadcast room on the right, they had already touched the side of the Empire's camp and burst into the battlefield.

In the "Earth" livestream on the left, the Soviet NPCs attacked the Empire's main force from behind, while in the Great Xia livestream on the right, they had already snuck to the flank of the Empire's camp and burst into the battlefield.
