Chapter 124: [Battle of Midway] Prelude, Aircraft Carrier Duel on

Before Fang Ming played "World War II: Rise of the Empires," he was a shock trooper 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 specialized areas.

Now seeing that "World War II: Rise of the Empires" is going to launch the 【Stalingrad Street Fighting】 map derived from the national war dungeon, 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's face not reveal a smile.

Fang Ming continued to look at the update announcement:

"There will be no downtime update tonight."

"Open daily random battlefields."

"This battlefield is not divided by faction, randomly assigned. The main source of the battlefield is the local battles that happen every day in '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 through the winter of Moscow, up to three months can be skipped."

"At the same time, 【Daily Plot】 【Earth Battlefield】 two options will be opened."

"When players choose to skip or accelerate the immersive plot, they can pre-select the identity for the next start."

"Note: 【Daily Plot】 can communicate with NPCs more, so as to obtain the upcoming second video competition, competition entries."

"Note: 【Earth Battlefield】 starts as a battlefield, and can experience battles in different regions such as desert, winter, sea, etc., according to the player's faction and region."

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

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

Fang Ming read the announcement, widened his eyes, and said to the livestream room:

"Good guy, Old Thief Zhao explains it personally?"

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

The barrage in the livestream room rolled.

【Laughing to death, don't even think about stones, this guy's press conference, they search you before entering!】

【Holy crap? Can it even be like this???】

【It is estimated that the invited ones are big streamers, big stars, etc., little Ming, you have a chance.】

【No matter what, you are also the winner of the 【Moscow Defense Medal】, you should be able to participate, right?】

【Then why use others, you throw it yourself.】

Fang Ming's mouth twitched, I throw? My rice bowl doesn't want it anymore?!

"Ahem."

"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 the CG of Old Thief Zhao 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."

"Enough for me to finish this battle."

"Where is the streamer?"

"The streamer is on Singapore Island."

"Outrageous, a city-sized place 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 beaten back several times, but the situation on the British Federation side is not good now.

Stood up and shot, killed a little Japanese invader, then squatted down to explain the war situation to the livestream room:

"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 70,000 or 80,000 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, grinning his teeth "Compared to the soldier quality of the European battlefield, it's not just a little bit."

"I've been restarting these two days, it belongs to being beaten by Japanese soldiers all the way. Sometimes I haven't run out of ammunition and food, and the morale of the Allied soldiers here has collapsed and fled and surrendered."

"It's just outrageous."

"The news from the newspaper says that the Japanese soldiers opposite retired from the 【Asian Battlefield】. It seems to be the 5th Division?"

"I heard that they were severely damaged and beaten to disability on the 【Asian Battlefield】 in the east, so they were transferred to Southeast Asia."

"As a result, a group of disabled 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 Federation soldiers are really vegetable."

"I looked at the 'real-time map' on the Polar Star official website, just in Malaysia, the Allied side died 80,000 or 90,000 people, and the opposite side only died more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers."

"Among them, 20 or 30 Japanese soldiers were killed by me."

"What kind of battle loss ratio is this?"

"I suspect that these people don't even have a passing grade in shooting."

Fang Ming shook his head and said to the friends in the livestream room, then changed a place, stood up and shot again, and the Japanese side seemed to be just to trap them.

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

In the game, only 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 desire to fight.

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.

Everywhere was people grabbing things. Fang Ming seemed to have seen this scene in Leningrad.

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

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

"Is this to boost morale?"

A young soldier beside him directly dropped his gun:

"Maybe it's to surrender."

Fang Ming and the friends in the livestream room 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 just 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."

"Why should we fight for them here?"

Fang Ming was stunned. That said... it makes sense. Fang Ming watched the group of officer-like people walk to the front of the position and raise a white flag.

Okay...

It really is surrendering.

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

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

"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 hardcore fans in the livestream room also remembered where Dover was. It was the place where Fang Ming teamed up with Yu Feng and was chased and bombed during the 【Battle of Britain】.

But at that time, almost the entire Dover was destroyed by air raids.

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 smiled:

"What else could it be?"

"Still the same, ruins everywhere."

Fang Ming said 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 understated.

But Fang Ming and the friends in the livestream room couldn't help but be in a trance.

【Battle of Britain】 and Dover, for Fang Ming and the friends in the livestream room, can only be counted as 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 can it be a real experience?

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

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

The friends in the livestream room were also silent. Just a few words 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 concentrated. Fang Ming could only follow the crowd:

"Being captured by NPCs... is also no one else."

"There are not 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 few game videos about being captured on the Internet.

Fang Ming was captured now, so he simply changed the title of the livestream room 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 Japanese soldiers around him, then he felt something was wrong.

The barrage in the livestream room rolled.

【What's the situation, streamer is going to be gone?】

【No, didn't they surrender, what else are they doing?】

【This posture seems to be going to the execution ground.】

【No way, killing prisoners?】

Fang Ming also had a bad premonition, saying to the livestream room:

"Maybe there is something else?"

"There is a 'Geneva Convention' or something on the 'Earth' side, it shouldn't kill prisoners."

"It is estimated that I killed too many Japanese invaders, maybe they want to torture me?"

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

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

"I will adjust the pain to the lowest first, let these indigenous NPCs know what an iron-blooded hero is!"

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

In this way, even if a shell hits the face, it only feels numb on the face, and there will be no pain.

The barrage in the livestream room rolled crazily.

【Rough, how did I not think of this, and can still play like this?】

【Laughing to death, an iron-blooded hero with pain adjusted to 5%?】

【In this situation, you have to use beauty temptation.】

【Hahaha, 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 tied up, the faces of these Japanese soldiers couldn't help but reveal ferocious smiles, "Yoshi" in their mouths.

That chilling smile and the rugged gaze made Fang Ming and the friends in the livestream room feel a chill.

Don't know what these Japanese want to do.

But there is one point for sure, the nickname "Japanese invaders" 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 wooden stakes newly erected one by one.

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 laughing Japanese soldiers, Fang Ming seemed to have guessed something, and the friends in the livestream room were also shocked by this scene, full of question marks.

However.

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

I saw those Japanese soldiers lining up, and a Japanese soldier, with a ferocious smile, took a bayonet and stepped forward, standing in front of Fang Ming, shouting weirdly, then stabbed out suddenly!

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 surged through Fang Ming's whole body, instantly making Fang Ming widen his eyes:

"I C?!"

Fang Ming struggled frantically!

Damn it?!

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

But in this situation, how could he break free.

Watching Fang Ming's furious and frantic struggle, 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 forward, holding bayonets, and under the urging of that Japanese officer, their faces gradually became ferocious.

Then they also shouted weirdly and stabbed at Fang Ming!

Pfft!

Next...

Pfft!

Next...

Fang Ming's furious body gradually felt out of control, but the angry emotion didn't decrease at all, until after the nth Japanese invader.

The line of sight fell into pitch black.

Fang Ming returned to the game main interface:

"Rough TM!"

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

"Abusing prisoners of war?!"

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

So aggrieved, if I knew it was like this, I would rather have died in battle when surrendering.

As a result, now I watched these Japanese invaders laughing weirdly, stabbing me one by one, and I couldn't even resist. This grievance is really...

Even if I was given a knife, it would be fine to kill two little Japanese invaders, it really disgusted me to death.

Not only Fang Ming was angry, the friends in the livestream room were also angry.

Especially the appearance of those little Japanese invaders laughing weirdly.

Fang Ming wanted to start again.

At this time, the barrage floated by.

【Don't start Southeast Asia anymore, once Singapore surrenders, the British Federation has almost no resistance power in Southeast Asia. The 'real-time map' on the Polar Star official website has changed color.】

【If you start Southeast Asia again, it is estimated that you will still be a prisoner of war.】

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

Malaysia to Singapore has all been occupied by Japan, the British Federation's power here already exists in name only, starting again is estimated to be beaten.

But enduring it like this is too aggrieved.

The friends in the livestream room said.

【Go accelerate and skip the plot, some accelerated and skipped to May, Japan has already fought with the American Freedom Federation, you choose the American Freedom Federation to restart.】

【You search other livestream rooms and you will know, Mo Xiaomo, Yu Feng are all accelerating the plot and fighting.】

Fang Ming looked at the barrage, directly opened Sky Shark Livestream, entered the game area, and saw Mo Xiaomo, who was in the top few in popularity, at a glance, and clicked into the livestream room.

In the livestream room.

Mo Xiaomo was flying a plane, flying in the sky, surrounded by American Freedom Federation planes and Japanese fighter planes. 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 body trembled, then the glass in front of the cockpit suddenly shattered, and a series 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 livestream room, 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 in another federation on the game main interface.

Fang Ming touched his chin, feeling a bit interesting.

Then clicked into Yu Feng's livestream room. Yu Feng's livestream room was on the 【North African Battlefield】, but compared to Mo Xiaomo's vegetable operation.

Yu Feng was much more thrilling.

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

The sniper's precision 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 advancing Empire tank.

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 and wave like this.

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.

Fang Ming watched for a while and returned to his livestream room:

"A bit interesting."

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

"I'll accelerate and skip the plot."

Then clicked on the immersive plot, and according to the steps commanded by the players in the livestream room, started to skip 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】."

"We will choose that 【Daily Plot】, mainly to kill those little Japanese invaders."

After Fang Ming finished choosing and clicked to start.

The screen flashed.

What came into view was the boundless sea, the sky was just dawn, 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.

It 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 beside him, summoning pilots to issue tasks.

Fang Ming was in the third wave of take-off flight formation. After Rear Admiral Fletcher left, Fang Ming walked toward the plane and said to the friends in the livestream room:

"I'll look at 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 the Polar Star official website currently shows it as American Freedom Federation territory."

"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, they can be used as a base, supporting the invasion in all directions."

"This place is a bit fatal."

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

"This thing is also a weapon of mass destruction level existence under the current technology of 'Earth'."

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

Fang Ming got on the plane, the prompt for operation appeared in front of him. When it was his turn, Fang Ming quickly took off according to the prompt and flew with the formation, looking at the sea view below while saying:

"The intelligence says that the Japanese aircraft carrier has been discovered."

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

"Watch how I bomb them!"

Fang Ming took off the plane. His anger toward the Japanese invaders had not dissipated. After all, it was the first time he had died in such an aggrieved way.

If he didn't retaliate, he couldn't sleep.

On the other side.

Polar Star Company temporary office.

Zhao Ming called up the game's backend data. Quite a few players had skipped the plot.

However, to prevent skipping too fast, Zhao Ming set the maximum skip to three months, so those in February could only jump to May.

That is, to experience the 【Battle of the Coral Sea】.

And the 【Battle of Midway】, which determined the direction of the Pacific battlefield, happened in June, followed by the 【Battle of Stalingrad】, etc., all of which have to wait until the press conference ends before going online.

However, the

Which is to say, one can experience the 【Battle of the Coral Sea】.

And the 【Battle of Midway】, which determined the overall direction of the Pacific theater, took place in June, followed immediately by the 【Battle of Stalingrad】 and other campaigns, all of which must wait until after the press conference to go live.

Also, because the duration of the 【Battle of Midway】 is relatively short, Zhao Ming made it a limited-time instance, the kind that can be experienced in a single day.
