Chapter 136

~20 min read 3,964 words

This sudden hidden plot made the friends in the stream room excited one after another, going to other stream rooms to promote it, while Fang Ming was immersed in the plot; after the text slowly disappeared, what came into view was a Soviet man with an honest face.

A prompt appeared beside him: 【Sergeant Pavlov】.

Fang Ming and the friends in the stream room understood that the so-called 【Pavlov's House】 in November was really named after a person.

It was no wonder that players looked everywhere and couldn't find where this Pavlov's House was.

And Fang Ming also discovered something different.

That was the time of this plot, which now showed the end of September.

The time was about the same as the 【Battle of Stalingrad】 battlefield.

And his own 【Immersive Plot】 had already reached November; it looked like the time of this plot was following the main battlefield.

It was already night in the game.

It was pitch black.

Sergeant Pavlov took three people, including Fang Ming, and hid behind a building ruin, looking at the building with twinkling firelight not far away.

The Imperial soldiers should not have occupied it for long; Sergeant Pavlov observed for a while and assigned tasks.

Then he took the three people and sneaked towards the building guarded by the Imperial soldiers, seemingly without considering whether they would fail or not, just wanting to see the occupation of the building in front of them.

This made Fang Ming and the Blue Star friends in the stream room click their tongues in wonder.

Following Fang Ming's perspective.

One could vaguely see the four-story building shrouded in night, with twinkling firelight on the first floor.

As everyone sneaked over, getting closer and closer.

It seemed to have disturbed the Imperial soldiers on the first floor; one could see some figures standing up, and there was the sound of firearms clattering.

Seeing this, Sergeant Pavlov in front of everyone fired first.

Bang!

An Imperial soldier's figure fell, and Sergeant Pavlov roared:

"Ura—!!!"

The two Soviet Federation soldiers beside Fang Ming also roared, raised their guns, and rushed towards the building, with Fang Ming following closely behind.

His mouth was also shouting "Ura—", and the rifle in his hand kept firing, reaping the lives of the Imperial soldiers guarding the building.

On the other side.

The matter of Fang Ming triggering the hidden plot 【Pavlov's House】 also quickly rushed to the hot search.

The current 【Mamayev Kurgan】 battle had already been fought for more than half a month in the game; although it was tense and exciting, it was inevitably a bit tiring.

So when this hot search came up, someone from Star Fall reported it to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming opened the stream room to take a look, and then let the Star Fall official stream room add another module to relay Fang Ming's stream room.

At this time.

In the Star Fall official stream room.

As the relay module was connected, Tianji and Mo Xiaomo also became interested, enlarged the relay module, and then looked at the information handed over; Tianji commented:

"Okay, we have just connected a new module here."

"It is because a player triggered the hidden plot of 【Pavlov's House】."

"Everyone can see that the stream room in the screen is still fighting."

"The streamer among them is also an old acquaintance, Fang Ming, whom many friends know, and he is also my old teammate."

Mo Xiaomo beside him was a bit surprised:

"Ah?"

"Really?"

"I haven't heard you mention it."

Tianji said with a smile:

"It was many years ago."

"We were on the same team playing FPS competitions."

"At that time, I guess you were still in school, so it's normal that you didn't know."

Saying this, Tianji clicked on the virtual projection in front of him, enlarged the screen of the stream room, and said:

"Let's get back to this plot."

"Many players didn't find 【Pavlov's House】 before, but now we can give the answer."

"Just like many people guessed, this 【Pavlov's House】 should be named after a war hero."

"We can see the Soviet sergeant who is fighting with the Imperial soldiers on the left side of the plot."

"He is Sergeant Pavlov."

"Currently, he is taking people to seize control of this building."

"It can be seen that the Imperial garrison is not very large."

"The battle has entered the final stage, and they have temporarily seized control of this building."

In the screen, Fang Ming, Sergeant Pavlov, and a few others were cleaning up the battlefield.

Mo Xiaomo looked at the building curiously:

"According to the announcement from Star Fall, the focus in November is here."

"Then this building should have some key role, right?"

"Otherwise, why would the Empire and the Soviet Federation fight over it?"

"However, looking at the appearance of this building."

"It's no different from other buildings, right?"

Tianji looked at the building from Fang Ming's stream room perspective and said:

"Indeed."

"This building looks no different from other buildings in the city area."

"However, if there is no difference in appearance."

"Then it should be the reason for the location."

Saying this, Tianji called up the 'real-time map' on the Star Fall official website to compare, and soon found the location of Pavlov's House.

It was a building located between the two key locations of Mamayev Kurgan and the Central Station, close to the Fuerjiahe, and its importance was instantly clear.

Tianji said:

"Sure enough, it's because of the geographical location."

Mo Xiaomo also understood a bit:

"Close to the Fuerjiahe, huh."

"Occupying this place can assist the Soviet Federation troops on the east bank to cross the river."

Tianji nodded, then called up the virtual city three-dimensional map of Stalingrad:

"Not only that."

"We can see that except for the natural commanding height of Mamayev Kurgan, the entire Stalingrad is on a horizontal line."

"Then if you want to occupy a commanding height in the city, you can only look for tall buildings."

"This four-story building standing on the edge of the Fuerjiahe is such a building."

Then he clicked on that building, and the perspective of the virtual map moved to the fourth floor, looking around; the Blue Star netizens in the stream room watched this perspective, and Tianji said:

"Standing from the perspective of the fourth floor."

"One can overlook the battlefield within a radius of 1 kilometer, forming a cross-fire network with the surrounding Flour Mill building and Railway Workers' building."

"Cutting the Stalingrad west bank, which is vertically long, with one horizontal cut from the middle."

"Cutting off the contact between the Imperial troops in the north and the troops in the south on the west bank of Stalingrad, dividing the Imperial forces into two parts."

"And because it is close to the Fuerjiahe."

"This place is within the artillery strike range of the Soviet Federation troops on the east bank of Stalingrad."

"The Imperial armored forces cannot get close."

"Once they get close, as long as there is a radio reporting the point, or even without a radio, it can be seen with the naked eye, and artillery strikes can be carried out against the supporting Imperial armored forces."

"It is also quite fatal."

"It's no wonder this place became the focus of the battle in November."

"If this place is occupied by the Soviet Federation, then it will cut the battlefield, making the Imperial troops on the north and south sides separated."

"If this place is occupied by the Empire, it is fatal for the Soviet Federation soldiers who want to cross the river to provide support."

"Hiss—"

"The location of this building is really..."

Tianji explained, feeling more and more shocked; this location was really too wonderful, and its importance was no less than Mamayev Kurgan.

And just as Tianji said.

Later, Soviet Federation Marshal Chuikov, when evaluating this building, called its importance no less than the Brest Fortress.

In the stream room.

The Blue Star netizens listened to Tianji's explanation and also felt a bit shocked; they had watched the 【Mamayev Kurgan】 battle for so long, and it was not bad to change the taste now.

I didn't expect that the single-player 【Immersive Plot】 mode would be so interesting.

Many Blue Star netizens watching the stream were actually half-way into the pit because of the promotion during this period, and they were not like the previous Blue Star netizens who were focused on the game.

So they could only be considered to have a half-understanding of the game.

At this time, after such an explanation, quite a few people wanted to play the single-player 【Immersive Plot】 mode.

And Fang Ming.

After cleaning up the battlefield in the game, he followed Sergeant Pavlov and others to set up landmine traps around the building.

After setting up a circle.

Fang Ming was arranged to search inside the building with another scout, Alexandrov.

Inside the dilapidated building, there were traces of war everywhere, almost no intact items could be found, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled his nose.

In the dim building, Fang Ming followed Alexandrov and asked:

"Where are we going?"

Alexandrov looked left and right and said with a smile:

"Actually, these buildings all have tunnels."

"It's just that you have to find the location."

"Tire out those stupid Imperial beasts; they wouldn't think that actually, many buildings in Stalingrad have tunnels."

Fang Ming widened his eyes:

"Really?"

Not only did the Imperial soldiers not know, but he also knew it for the first time.

Including the Blue Star netizens in the stream room and those watching the relay on the Star Fall official website, they also just knew about it.

Alexandrov said:

"Of course."

"It's just that some are hard to find."

"When I was a child, I drilled through quite a few tunnels with my friends."

"Let me see..."

After looking for a few rooms, Alexandrov called Fang Ming:

"Glushenko, come here."

"Found it."

【Glushenko】 was the name of the NPC Fang Ming was playing; hearing Alexandrov's call, Fang Ming ran over:

"Where?"

At this time, Alexandrov was moving a collapsed table and then signaled Fang Ming to come over and lift a piece of iron sheet on the ground:

"Right here."

As the iron sheet was lifted.

Bang—a gunshot rang out, a scream came from below the tunnel, and the iron sheet hit by the bullet shook the two people's hands until they were numb; with a shock in their hearts, they let go and were about to pull the bolt.

"Wait!!!"

Fang Ming, who was suspicious and uncertain, grabbed Alexandrov; Alexandrov also came to his senses at this time.

This was a tunnel that only Soviets knew; it absolutely couldn't be Imperial people below. Looking at the rifle in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a bit of lingering fear and immediately shouted:

"We are from the Fuerjiahe side, don't shoot!"

Hearing this.

The panicked screaming in the tunnel stopped, and many sobbing sounds came from inside.

The footsteps and voices of Sergeant Pavlov and the other two came from the corridor:

"Enemies?"

Alexandrov shouted:

"No!"

"It's our own people!"

Fang Ming took out a match, lit it, and reached his hand towards the tunnel below.

And what came into view for Fang Ming and Alexandrov.

Were more than thirty women and children, all sallow and emaciated, not knowing how long they had been here, looking at them with some terror and some relief after the disaster...

The next day.

On a sunny morning, the women helped carry ammunition, while Sergeant Pavlov took a few people to set up a defense line,

not daring to stop for a moment.

Until the figures of a small group of Imperial troops appeared, Sergeant Pavlov shouted:

"Prepare to fight!"

A few people quickly came to the cover, while the women and children in the building quickly hid back into the tunnel.

"Fire!!!"

Following Sergeant Pavlov's order, these four people fired at the Imperial company that was sneaking over.

Until this time.

Fang Ming and the friends in the Blue Star stream room still didn't realize how long this building battle would last.

The 6th day of occupying Pavlov's House.

Boom—!

Boom!

The explosive bombs made the whole building tremble, and dust and sand particles kept falling; Fang Ming hid under the window, his body covered with a layer of dust.

He waved his hand and looked out through the hole in the wall.

Several Imperial armored tanks approached, followed by Imperial soldiers, but because of the threat of Soviet artillery on the east bank.

So the Imperial tanks didn't dare to get too close and could only bombard the building from a distance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huge gunshots rang out in the building, hitting the Imperial tanks opposite, erupting with scattering sparks; the Imperial tanks hesitated for a moment and slowly retreated.

Fang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said to the stream room:

"It still has to be an anti-tank rifle."

"I don't know how much ammunition they brought; it would be best if they could hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Fang Ming was talking about the other Soviet troops who had crossed the river to provide support a few days ago, including mortar teams, anti-tank teams, and a machine gun platoon.

A total of 24 people.

One can imagine the importance the east bank of the Fuerjiahe attached to this place.

Counting the four of them themselves, as well as the more than 30 women and children in the tunnel.

The number of people in this building was not small.

Fang Ming watched the Imperial tanks retreat and ran to Alexandrov's side, chatting with him about Stalingrad.

With this native of 'Earth', Fang Ming really learned a lot about Stalingrad, and even quite a few players found tunnels inside the buildings on the battlefield.

Some tunnels even had gold and silver jewelry, but unfortunately, it was a game and couldn't be taken out.

The 17th day of occupying Pavlov's House.

The sun in the sky had just risen, and the earth was still quiet, when the screech of Stuka dive bombers suddenly rang out, tearing the tranquility of the Fuerjiahe.

Inside the building.

Sergeant Pavlov's voice rang out:

"Airstrike!!!"

"Everyone hide in the cover!!!"

It was called cover.

But it was actually large pits blown out by Stuka dive bombers and Imperial tanks bombarding the building.

Under the frantic bombing for more than half a month.

Although they persisted, the east side of the building was also smashed to pieces, and one could see inside from the outside.

The sharp whistling sound approached.

A muffled sound.

Then a huge explosion rang out; the blast wave of the bomb that fell on the east side of the building swept out, and the scorching blast wave swept through the entire building along the corridor.

Broken glass fragments scattered like raindrops,

and the bombs in the sky were still falling one after another.

I don't know how long it had been.

After not feeling the blast wave of the explosion sweeping through.

No one dared to delay and quickly got up and rushed to the edge of the wall; at this time, the Imperial soldiers outside had already seized the opportunity to sneak over, and some had even rushed to the first floor.

"Ura——!!!"

The 28th day of occupying Pavlov's House.

Fang Ming leaned against the corner of the wall, trying to avoid the cold wind.

It was already the end of October.

The weather in Stalingrad was gradually getting cold, but this building was blown through on all sides, which was simply freezing people to death; fortunately, it was only the end of October.

If it were November or December, it would be something to suffer.

Inexplicably.

Fang Ming remembered the days of challenging medals in Moscow, which were even colder than this.

Just thinking about it.

A burst of melodious music suddenly rang out in the building.

Soothing music echoed in the building.

Fang Ming got up and followed the sound, and other people in the building also walked out.

Everyone followed the sound to a room.

Inside the room.

Alexandrov was closing his eyes and shaking his body, and on the dilapidated table beside him, there was a badly worn but still operational phonograph.

And Alexandrov, who heard the sound of the door opening, also opened his eyes; looking at the crowd with strange expressions, Alexandrov said with a smile:

"Shall we dance together?"

"I found this in the cabinet; I didn't expect it to still be able to sound."

Sergeant Pavlov shook his head and turned to leave.

Alexandrov looked at Fang Ming; Fang Ming, looking at the booing in the stream room, also thickened his face and went over, shaking wildly with the music.

Several Soviet Federation soldiers around were also infected.

Joining the dancing team.

Under the blood-red sunset, inside the damaged building by the Fuerjiahe.

Melodious singing spread to the surroundings.

In the room inside the building, several big men were showing their dance moves with stiff limbs.

Outside the building.

The Imperial officer lying in the ruins with binoculars, looking at that building, could vaguely hear the music coming from the building.

He put down the binoculars.

Looking at the building in the distance, the Imperial officer frowned:

"What is this doing?"

He turned his head to look at the soldiers gathered behind him and gave the order to prepare for an attack.

The 43rd day of occupying Pavlov's House.

Late at night.

The moonlight was covered by dark clouds; because it was too dark, the number of people on night watch was doubled; Fang Ming leaned against the window and looked outside.

He was not afraid at all that the Imperial soldiers could lock onto him.

Because it was too dark... the visibility around was not even a few meters.

Alexandrov beside him yawned:

"Damn it."

"The reinforcements are too slow; how many days has it been?"

He couldn't remember the time.

Alexandrov only knew that they had been holding on here for many days, and the weather had turned cold.

It was already November.

And Fang Ming clearly remembered, looking at the time in the system, and said:

"43 days."

"Well... our building has persisted longer than Falanxi."

Alexandrov beside him widened his eyes:

"Really?"

Fang Ming nodded and said:

"Of course."

"Facing the Imperial attack, Falanxi only persisted for 42 days."

"And we have persisted for 43 days guarding this building."

Speaking of this, Fang Ming was a bit emotional.

Perhaps this was the way to pass the 【Stalingrad Medal】 challenge mission.

Before, he tried holding the building, Mobile Corps Commander warfare, and street fighting, but none of them persisted for 10 days,

but under the leadership of these native Soviet Federation NPC plots, they had held on for 43 days in this building, although he didn't know how much longer they had to hold on.

But if this were the 【Stalingrad Medal】 challenge mission, it might have been completed long ago.

It's just a pity it wasn't.

Alexandrov heard Fang Ming's words and couldn't help laughing:

"Lost in 42 days?"

"How did they fight."

Boom!!!

The sound of landmine explosions suddenly rang out on the west side of the building, and the suddenly lit firelight made Fang Ming and Alexandrov immediately alert:

"Damn it, sure enough, they came again."

The next second.

The sound of fighting on the west side of the building had already rang out; Fang Ming guarded the spot, and Alexandrov had already supported them.

The battle lasted from night to dawn.

And it was a new day again.

Following the 44th day... 47th day... 52nd day... 57th day... of occupying Pavlov's House.

The time Fang Ming occupied it was getting longer and longer, but he still couldn't see the arrival of reinforcements; relying only on the combat power of more than 20 people to hold a building for so many days.

Exceeded the imagination of many people.

It triggered a wave of building-holding in the game.

Everyone wanted to learn the operation of Pavlov's House.

It's just that the combat power was limited and not enough to hold the building.

But even so.

It couldn't stop players from imitating it one after another.

And this live stream video of holding the building was also taken by the armies of the major federations for analysis.

At this time.

In the Star Fall official stream room.

Half was watching the six major federations competing for 【Mamayev Kurgan】, and half was watching the 【Pavlov's House】 plot conducted by Fang Ming.

However, as time approached.

Both sides also reached the final time.

Inside Star Fall company.

Zhao Ming looked at the screen in the stream room.

The six major federations and the 'Earth' stream room were each fighting for 【Mamayev Kurgan】; the number in the upper left corner had become three digits.

And the time had also reached September 30th.

As long as tomorrow passed.

The new battlefield focus would switch to 【Central Station】.

Zhao Ming prepared a settlement for 【Mamayev Kurgan】 and would release it once the time passed.

And on Fang Ming's stream room side.

The time also reached the 58th day of holding on.

In the screen.

The body Fang Ming controlled was already overwhelmed; the gauze on his leg was soaked with blood, and his tattered clothes were full of damage and bloodstains.

Some were from gunshots, some from knife stabs, and some were from biting and tearing with Imperial soldiers.

In short, there was no good place.

Although Fang Ming's spirit was still full, chatting with the friends in the stream room, his body was very difficult to move.

At this time.

Fang Ming in the stream room vaguely heard the noisy footsteps outside.

His face changed.

He hurriedly stood up with difficulty, leaning on his rifle; the Blue Star netizens also became nervous.

Suddenly.

"Ura——!!!!"

A sound with cheers and joy came, followed by the "Ura!" that came one after another outside; Fang Ming's face was happy, and he walked to the window kneeling and leaning on his rifle.

The team outside the window waved red flags and rushed towards the building.

The red flags were particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Fang Ming only felt a burst of relief; they won! They won!!!

"Ura——!!!!"

Leaning on the window, he held the rifle in his hand and shouted to the outside; the danmu and gifts in the stream room also kept popping out,

frantically brushing the screen.

They had all watched it all the way.

At this time, finally waiting for reinforcements, the mood of the Blue Star netizens watching was no less than Fang Ming's.

On the other side.

Zhao Ming looked at the Star Fall official stream room.

Fang Ming's side had already ended, and the 【Mamayev Kurgan】 battle on the six major federations side would end in half a day, followed by the 【Central Station】 battle that would start immediately.

Once these were all over, the Battle of Stalingrad would be almost over.

Entering 1943 immediately, the 【Battle of Kharkov】 and 【Battle of Kursk】 were both battles with wins and losses, and they were very critical battles.

Zhao Ming pondered about launching a new national war instance.

And in the stream room.

As time passed bit by bit, the Great Xia Federation side had already reached noon, and the 【Mamayev Kurgan】 battle had also ended.

Tianji and Mo Xiaomo in the Star Fall stream room breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally finished fighting.

Just about to speak to introduce and congratulate.

The 【Mamayev Kurgan】 settlement prompt suddenly popped up in the stream room, and the 【Central Station Battle】 that was about to start.

Introduction.
