Chapter 154: [Battle of Berlin: The Empire

After Yu Feng finished speaking, he switched to the Sky Shark streaming platform.

Took a look at the perspectives of other streams.

Because the timelines were all synchronized by the Polar Star backend, in every "Immersive Plot" mode, the fastest ones were waiting for the "battle to begin."

At this time.

In other streams, the Imperial faction streamers located in Berlin were scattered on various defense towers in Berlin, or the ground troops were preparing to resist the Soviet steel torrent.

Boom—!

In the game.

The muffled sound of artillery came, followed by a series of dense artillery sounds.

Explosions came from all over Berlin.

The evening breeze carried gunpowder smoke and swept across Berlin; Yu Feng stood on the anti-aircraft tower, looking at the craters emitting thick smoke and flames caused by the Soviet Federation's artillery shells in the distance:

"It's started."

Three days ago, the Soviet Federation's troops had already surrounded Berlin.

The Empire's Army General Gotthard Heinrici commanded the Vistula Army Group to rely on the high ground to resist the Soviet Federation's troops.

But obviously.

It had already failed.

Although they resisted the Soviet Federation's first wave of attacks, the situation was gone; just by engaging in attrition, the troops had already been consumed to only remnants.

At the moment, the Soviet Federation's troops had already fought into the suburbs of Berlin and began artillery bombardment.

The anti-aircraft towers and ground troops scattered throughout Berlin all moved at this time.

"Everyone in position!"

Yu Feng and Fang Ming also quickly locked onto the Soviet Federation's planes according to the system-prompted operations, as dense black dots moved over in the sky.

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom!

The 128mm anti-aircraft guns spat fire, and the shells rushed straight into the sky.

A few seconds later.

A piece of black fireworks bloomed in the distant sky; that was the shrapnel cloud formed after the shells exploded at a predetermined height.

"Hit!"

"Hit!!!"

The observer on the anti-aircraft tower shouted excitedly:

"An enemy plane is smoking!"

Obviously, the shrapnel cloud successfully hit an unlucky guy.

However, Yu Feng didn't have time to look at this time, because the other bombers were still intact and had broken through the barrage in the sky, flying toward this side.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming each commanded an anti-aircraft gun, firing continuously at the sky.

The sky was soon filled with black smoke clusters; those were shrapnel clouds, and looking from afar, it was as if someone was painting randomly in the sky.

One plane.

Two planes.

Three...

Suddenly!

A sharp whistling sound struck; Yu Feng was startled:

"Get down!!!"

Just as he lay down.

A series of bullets swept across the top floor of the anti-aircraft tower.

Pfft! Pfft!

The sound of flesh being torn by rough bullets rang out, and several soldiers who didn't have time to lie down were torn apart by the machine-gun bullets mounted on the planes.

Then the sharp whistling sound got closer and closer.

Boom!

Boom!

The scorching heat wave spread around the anti-aircraft tower; fortunately, the anti-aircraft tower built by the Empire was exceptionally sturdy, and the accuracy of the bombing in the sky was a bit poor.

Otherwise, if an artillery shell hit the top of the tower, these people would all be finished.

After the heat wave dissipated.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming just got up.

In the sky.

The gliding sound of the plane and the roar of the engine approached; Yu Feng and Fang Ming looked up, and their faces changed drastically:

"Damn it?!"

I saw a Soviet Federation plane, I don't know which anti-aircraft gun hit its tail; at this time, the tail was dragging thick black smoke, gliding and diving down.

Inexplicably.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming could even feel the terrified expression on the face of the Soviet Federation pilot in the cockpit.

Similarly, the Soviet Federation pilot could even see them.

Because...

They were about to collide.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming didn't care about the anti-aircraft tower that was dozens of meters high, and turned around to press the edge of the tower, wanting to flip over and jump down.

But it was too late.

The Federation plane with thick black smoke dragging from its tail dived and hit the top of the tower.

Boom!!!

The explosion spread, and the fuel in the plane exploded instantly.

It was as if a sun had risen on the top of the tower.

And Yu Feng and Fang Ming, who wanted to flip over the edge of the tower, were blown away by the shockwave of the explosion in mid-air, crossing who knows how many streets.

Plop!

They fell solidly to the ground and hit the wall.

There was no pain at all.

In the stream.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming both shivered.

Damn?

Too exciting.

The messages in the stream surged.

【This fall is really solid, no pain at all.】

【Reasonably speaking, at this height, this flight distance, and still hitting the wall... shouldn't they have turned into mud?】

【Not necessarily, but full-body comminuted fractures are no problem.】

【Hiss—】

【It can be considered humans briefly gaining the ability to fly.】

【Laughing to death, flying hundreds of meters and hitting the wall.】

In the stream, Yu Feng and Fang Ming also restarted after recovering.

Who could have thought that after fighting for a while, they would be gone directly.

However, bad luck accounted for the majority; after all, the terrified expression on the Soviet Federation pilot's face at the last moment... obviously, none of them wanted to die.

Entering the game again.

Fortunately, because of his rank, he was still a commander.

It was just that he changed to a different position.

However.

The roar in the sky was so dense that even the buildings were trembling; the black dots in the sky were far more numerous than just now and had already spread out.

Those black dots dropped bombs that fell as densely as raindrops.

Boom boom boom—

The whole world was plunged into the roar of explosions; high-explosive bombs fell to the ground, and one after another, the soaring explosion flames spread, uprooting the buildings on the ground.

Such a scene was like the final moments of the 【Battle of Britain】.

The whole world was a hell made of flames, only that time it was over England.

And this time...

It was in the Empire's capital, Berlin.

Facing such a situation, the anti-aircraft towers scattered throughout Berlin didn't stop firing for a moment, and the piercing alarm sounded non-stop.

Everything visible to the naked eye was destroyed.

The most terrifying thing was the incendiary bombs dropped; in Yu Feng and Fang Ming's perspective, many soldiers on the ground were ignited by those incendiary bombs.

Turning into moving flames, stopping after a short sprint, and remaining motionless.

Burned to death...

Yu Feng and Fang Ming commanded the anti-aircraft guns, firing non-stop; I don't know how long they fought.

Until the shells were exhausted and the roar in the sky became sparse.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming sat paralyzed on the ground; everywhere they looked in Berlin, there were ruins and flames, and the offensive in the sky stopped.

But...

Yu Feng and Fang Ming looked into the distance.

The direction of the suburbs.

The faint roar was still coming continuously; the continuous fire in the suburbs seemed to divide the whole world into two, and it hadn't stopped there.

The battle... had just begun.

On the other side.

On the other side of Berlin.

On the same anti-aircraft tower, only the one facing here wasn't the Soviet Federation's planes.

But the Soviet Federation's steel torrent.

The huge anti-aircraft tower made of concrete became the best high ground at this time.

No matter how the Soviet Federation's troops bombarded from below, it still stood on the ground.

Boom!!

A deafening sound rang out in Cheng Yu's stream.

He was the commander of this anti-aircraft tower; the Soviet Federation's steel torrent had surrounded them from all directions, and the closest was only a few hundred meters away.

And Cheng Yu was commanding the anti-aircraft guns that had been leveled above:

"Ten o'clock direction!"

"Fire!"

The twin 128mm anti-aircraft guns at the top of the anti-aircraft tower had been leveled at this time, and the barrels were stretched as far as possible toward the diagonal downward direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shells were fired one after another; the tanks advancing hundreds of meters away stopped abruptly, the tank armor seemed to be penetrated, and the tank suddenly turned into a ball of fire.

Cheng Yu continued to command the twin 128mm anti-aircraft guns to turn direction; the sound of mechanical rotation rang out, and then shells were fired one after another.

Looking from an overlooking perspective.

The concrete giant standing alone on the ground seemed to be making a final struggle; although every rotation had results, the tanks approaching from all directions were endless.

Seemed to be mocking its dying struggle.

Not long after.

There were already tanks approaching the bottom of the anti-aircraft tower; although many tanks were lying in the distance.

But they had already been killed to the door.

Boom—!

A violent tremor came from the bottom of the anti-aircraft tower, shaking Cheng Yu's feet numb, but there was no way.

Gritting his teeth, he commanded the soldiers under his command to shoot as many tanks as possible, until the tanks below broke through the anti-aircraft tower and killed their way in.

At this time, in the Sky Shark platform stream.

Many streamers were watching the "Battle of Berlin" stream.

They were all synchronized single-player "Immersive Plot" modes; even if they teamed up with one or two teammates, they couldn't reverse the overall situation; just the first day of the offensive.

These streamers basically died all over.

And the pace of the Soviet Federation's advance didn't stop at all.

In each stream.

There were streamers hiding in shelters, watching the surrounding people praying continuously, and couldn't help but join in.

There were streamers on the front line, pushed by the Soviet steel torrent again and again, constantly restarting without seeing any hope.

The Empire's failure was already irreversible.

The anti-aircraft towers built in large numbers during the Empire's peak to guard against British Federation air raids became the last line of defense on the Berlin battlefield at this time.

The anti-aircraft towers scattered throughout Berlin hadn't stopped firing for a moment since the war began.

And the Soviet Federation's army was also approaching the center of Berlin.

One day.

Two days.

Ten days.

The Soviet advance was unstoppable; at this time, the Imperial faction streamers in the plot had already begun to use streets and alleys to resist the Soviet Federation's troops.

The offense and defense had changed.

The tragic street fighting like in Stalingrad was reproduced here.

It was just that the two sides of the offense and defense had changed this time.

Berlin city center.

Early morning.

After the building ruins formed trenches.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming led some people to hide here; the soldiers next to them didn't know where they got the cigarettes and started distributing them.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming had also taken one; at this time, the two had been lying in the virtual somatosensory cabin in reality for 3 days, and more than 10 days had passed in the game.

More than 10 days of fighting, restarted 6 times.

But now, they were still occupied by the Soviet Federation's troops in most of Berlin.

Yu Feng pulled up the "real-time map."

At this time, 80% of Berlin was dyed with the color of the Soviet Federation's troops.

And in the center.

The Reichstag, only three kilometers away from them, was also about to be collided with by the Soviet Federation's troops.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming moved the stream perspective away, took two puffs of the cigarette in "Earth," and the spicy feeling made their spirits feel a jolt; it was quite strong...

Yu Feng checked the ammunition and said to Fang Ming:

"Let's go to the Reichstag in a while."

"There is no point in guarding here."

They were guarding here, but the Soviets had already fought into the Reichstag from over there.

Once the Reichstag falls... it's GG directly.

It was just that although it wouldn't be of any use if they went, after all, they couldn't stop it no matter what.

Fang Ming took the cigarette down and stepped on it twice:

"Okay, what a pity."

"The Empire's situation is completely hopeless."

"You say, if these big shots of the Empire are captured?"

"Then how many years will they be sentenced?"

Blue Star wasn't very familiar with the laws on Earth.

It was just that starting such a great war, how could they not be sentenced for a long time?

Yu Feng thought for a while and said:

"They will probably be locked in prison until they die."

After all, this "war" swept the whole world, and the number of people who died was already in the tens of thousands; tens of millions couldn't even stop it.

Killing one person is a death sentence, and this indirectly caused tens of millions to die...

The Blue Star players in the stream couldn't help but sigh; they could be considered to have witnessed the end of the Empire, but there were also discussions.

【I think there should be a trial first, then a death sentence.】

【That's right, after all, the Allies won, how can they not show off to the general public.】

【Normal, if I were an Allied high-ranking official, I would also have to try the Imperial high-ranking officials and nail them to the pillar of shame.】

【Hard-won victory over a deadly enemy, have to show off.】

Yu Feng looked at the messages and thought it was the same.

The Empire caused such damage, how could the Allies let it go lightly? Yu Feng led the dozens of people under his command to the Reichstag.

The last wave.

After fighting the 【European battlefield】, it will end, and only Japan on the 【Pacific battlefield】 will remain.

In the distance.

The outline of the Reichstag had already appeared in everyone's sight.

Bang!

A sound rang out, suddenly coming.

Yu Feng and others were startled, subconsciously on guard, but found that the sound came from inside the Reichstag.

That's not right?

The Soviet Federation's troops were still some distance away from here?

Yu Feng looked at the "real-time map," and the Soviet Federation's troops on it were still a few kilometers away.

This thought just flashed through his mind.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Intermittent gunshots came from the Reichstag.

Civil strife?

No, it doesn't look like it.

They were all single shots, and some were different types of guns; it was definitely not the kind of shooting from an outbreak of civil strife.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming looked at each other, and their heartbeats skipped a beat inexplicably.

Then they led people to rush to the Reichstag; just as they rushed to the entrance of the Reichstag, soldiers inside were carrying out corpses, and the Empire's Minister of Propaganda Goebbels walked out with people.

Goebbels, wearing a yellow military uniform, looked very thin.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

In many CG scenes, his extremely powerful ability to incite was demonstrated.

Seeing Yu Feng and others coming over, all tattered, obviously Imperial soldiers who had fought for who knows how long.

Goebbels didn't drive Yu Feng and others away.

Instead, after a moment of silence, he said:

"The Head of State is dead."

"Prepare for the final battle, soldiers."

"The Empire will never surrender."

After speaking.

He left in a hurry with his subordinates, leaving only the stunned Yu Feng and the soldiers behind him, as well as the silent messages in the stream...

Watching the vehicle Goebbels was riding in slowly leave.

Yu Feng was still a bit bewildered and said:

"What did he say?"

Fang Ming's expression was also solemn:

"He said the Head of State is dead."

Yu Feng couldn't believe it:

"The Head of State is dead?"

Fang Ming nodded and took a deep breath:

"That's right."

"The Head of State is dead."

Dead.

Just like that, he died.

With the spread of the four words "The Head of State is dead," constant gunshots rang out around; the guards in front of the Reichstag.

After Goebbels left.

They loaded their weapons one after another.

Bang!

Plop bang!

Plop bang!

Without any hesitation or doubt, the guards fell one after another.

Leaving only Yu Feng and Fang Ming, who were shocked by this scene, looking at this scene at a loss.

Are the "Imperial people" crazy?

Soon.

#The Imperial Head of State is dead#

These four words directly exploded the top search on the Blue Star Federation, instantly reaching the top.

Imperial Head of State?

Many players who hadn't gotten off work looked at this term and couldn't believe it.

Can a person of this level also die?

The death of a general level can be understood, but this level is like the president of major federations on Blue Star?!

Even if they committed a crime, they couldn't be executed easily, right?

How did he die?!

Many players clicked into the hot search with shock.

What caught their eyes were Yu Feng and Fang Ming, who rushed to the Reichstag and met Goebbels, followed by the guards of the Reichstag committing suicide one after another after Goebbels left.

Blue Star players had never seen such a scene, not even in movies or novels, so the shock it brought can be imagined. The comments below rolled wildly:

【Although I don't understand, I am greatly shocked.】

【This scene is too amazing; if anyone can integrate it into a movie, it will definitely win the best shot of the year.】

【Even if it's filmed, it won't be as shocking as this; my god, are the Imperial people crazy?】

【Why commit suicide? Isn't it good to live?】

【Have you played this game? This is called faith; many people on "Earth" have firm faith, and now...

Obviously, faith is dead.】

【To be honest, I wanted the end of the Empire, but I didn't expect it to be like this...】

【This is consistent with the Empire; otherwise, should they be locked up like monkeys, watched and tried by people?】

【That's right, suicide is better than being a clown watched by people.】

Although the screen didn't reveal how the Imperial Head of State died, everything in the screen couldn't be more obvious.

Everything is over.

Many Blue Star players searched for Yu Feng and Fang Ming's stream, but after entering, it was just the constantly repeated scene, the scene of guarding in the Reichstag.

In the video.

Blue Star players seemed to have returned to Stalingrad.

The Soviet Federation soldiers who poured into the Reichstag like a tide, fighting for ownership with the Imperial garrison, floor by floor, room by room.

Until the entire Reichstag was completely occupied.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming's perspective fell into darkness, and the Empire was completely occupied.

And at the same time.

On the "real-time map" of the Polar Star official website, many players also noticed.

In the 【European battlefield】, the color and power blocks representing the Empire disappeared cleanly, and the entire Empire was occupied by the Soviet Federation and the Allies.

Now on the "real-time map."

Only the 【Asian battlefield】 that hasn't been opened and the 【Pacific battlefield】 haven't ended yet.

This 【European battlefield】 and that Empire, as well as those Imperial famous generals, that have been torturing players since the server opened, have all ended completely at this time.

Looking at the map, the players were still a bit dazed.

It took several refreshes to confirm that the Empire was really gone.

Although they were abused very miserably by the Empire.

But in the end, it was just a "game," and "Earth" was also fictional.

No Blue Star player would have deep hatred for a fictional "Earth" and "country"; on the contrary, after being abused for so long, suddenly seeing the Empire's demise.

Instead, there was a bit of inexplicable melancholy.

Go search for the stream on the Sky Shark streaming platform again.

The Berlin Defense Commander was already negotiating surrender with the Soviet Federation.

And also issued a formal surrender statement.

It was just that the soldiers on the outskirts of Berlin were still resisting in disbelief, for a full seven days... until the last resisting Imperial soldier was eliminated, it was considered completely over.

Three days later.

The popularity of the discussion about the Empire's demise had dropped.

Yu Feng, who had rested for three days after the Empire's demise, broadcasted again, but this time there was no "Imperial faction" option at the start; only Japan remained in the Axis powers.

Yu Feng chose the American Freedom Federation option.

Looking at the messages in the stream, Yu Feng greeted while saying:

"Not retiring, not retiring."

"Just that when fighting in Berlin before, I lay in the virtual somatosensory cabin for several days, just resting."

"Fang Ming?"

"That's a beast; he broadcasted again the next day."

"But he was chased by that 'Han Xin' in 【China】 and ran away with only a dozen people, laughing to death."

"And what blitzkrieg."

"As a result, he was blitzed and had his home stolen."

"I will definitely continue to broadcast 'WWII'; it hasn't ended yet, right?"

"And after it ends, there will be a 【sequel】; experiencing the game of great powers is more interesting."

Yu Feng said while clicking to start.

The screen flashed.

What caught his eyes was the high altitude; he was operating a plane, Yu Feng was a bit surprised:

"Fighting right from the start?"

Fortunately, he had driven a plane, and there were game prompts, so control wasn't a problem.

Yu Feng scanned left and right; the American Freedom Federation fighters and Japan's fighters were entangled in the air, shooting, and some were even falling downward.

Good guy, still a great air battle.

Yu Feng didn't dare to delay, hurriedly controlled the plane to climb, preparing to turn around and fight.

However...

The fuselage suddenly fluctuated violently, plus the vibration of the fuselage, it seemed that something was approaching quickly; Yu Feng was startled.

Hurriedly increased the horsepower.

But it was still too late.

On the right side, I don't know when, a Japanese fighter rushed over.

The key is this damn fighter.

It actually rammed over?!

Through the cockpit, Yu Feng could clearly see the Japanese devil's face shouting something.

Boom!!!

The flames instantly swallowed Yu Feng's entire perspective, without any pain.

Fine, fine! Playing like this, right?

Doesn't the American Federation have some weapons of mass destruction?!

Where are they?! Bomb them!!!

What the?! Bomb them!!!
