Chapter 169: The Federation Crushed by 'Rommel', Ranking of the First Level (6.2k Combined)
Yu Feng chatted with the stream about the next two levels, and other streams were also guessing:
Also looking forward to the exclusive CG plots of the next two levels.
And the six major federations were caught in a discussion about reviewing the day's battle.
The Great Xia Federation was easy to talk about, after all, they focused on steady progress, held their ground, and forced the 'Rommel' in the copy to retreat after he couldn't do anything.
And the comprehensive score was ranked first, so the atmosphere wasn't as serious as other federations.
But the atmosphere in the military command centers of the Slavic Federation and the Yadong United Federation wasn't so good.
As the first federation to be eliminated, although they were eliminated, they fought brilliantly in the early stages, so if it ended there, it would still be justifiable.
But it just so happened that their neighbor, the Great Xia Federation, got first place.
This comparison made the Slavic Federation very uncomfortable.
After all, as two adjacent federations, there were constant border conflicts and frictions, but in the past half year, the soldiers of the Great Xia Federation seemed to have become elite soldiers one by one.
Although there was gossip that it might be related to the game "World War II: Rise of Empires."
Because the news came from the Antarctic Federation, which also cooperated with Polaris company after the Great Xia Federation, but this was just a game after all.
Even if it was made realistically, it wouldn't be to this extent, right?
They also used this game for training, so why wasn't the improvement as obvious as the Great Xia Federation?
But both the Great Xia Federation and the Antarctic Federation were quite obvious.
Or... does this game have hidden content that hasn't been opened?
Should we also cooperate?
The Slavic Federation discussed this.
The atmosphere inside the Yadong United Federation wasn't so good either.
Because it was similar to the Jin Yue Federation, it was considered the smallest among the six major federations in terms of territory.
Although they got third to last.
But what were the last two?
Not to mention the Slavic Federation, which itself had the largest territory, and its strength was naturally in the top three of the six major federations.
Getting second to last this time was purely because the commander was too reckless.
What about the last place, the Jin Yue Federation?
They didn't take this joint military exercise seriously at all, sending the eldest prince as a mascot commander.
His command was a mess, but he didn't retire much earlier than them.
Doesn't that mean that if a normal general were to command, they would definitely have persisted longer than them?
In this way.
It was the Yadong United Federation's soldiers who were the weakest.
In the past, military exercises were all about major federations showing off high-tech weapons, and the troops were just showing off.
But now that this joint military exercise suddenly changed its form.
The Yadong United Federation was suddenly awakened; it turns out their soldiers were the weakest.
Like a basin of cold water poured on everyone in the Yadong United Federation.
Their comprehensive strength was already at the bottom of the six major federations, which they had long accepted, but they didn't expect the soldiers' strength to be so much worse; can they still play together?
Didn't we agree not to fight, but you guys are training your soldiers to be so fierce one by one?
Damn, the Great Xia Federation's kill count was almost four times theirs; why are you guys practicing sniper techniques so hard?
Who are you trying to snipe?!
Why practice sniping if you're not fighting?!
We agreed to rot together.
But you guys are all thick-browed and big-eyed, practicing so hard in private!
The Yadong United Federation was so angry.
If it weren't for the fact that they were still in the joint military exercise, they would have ordered full-army special training by now.
The Jin Yue Federation was pleasantly surprised, after all, the eldest prince existed as a mascot, and his command was almost stronger than the Yadong United Federation.
Doesn't that mean that if a general came to command, they could easily surpass the Yadong United Federation.
In the past.
The Jin Yue Federation had always been at the bottom of the six major federations, besides being wealthy.
Both the federation's area and combat effectiveness were last.
Above them were the East Asia United Federation, the Antarctic Federation, and then the Slavic, Great Xia, and Free Star Cluster federations, which were all equal.
Now they found... they seemed to be able to be second to last.
The netizens of the Jin Yue Federation couldn't be happier; after all, it was because their combat effectiveness was weak that they always showed off their wealth.
If they could show off something else, who would show off such vulgar things? At this time.
In the military conference room of the Great Xia Federation.
The atmosphere was relaxed, mainly discussing how to fight the second and third levels.
Although Shen Yan was the Mobile Corps Commander of the special operations brigade, basically all the brigade commanders of the elite brigades were here, and a few were division commanders; the commander of this military exercise was Shen Lin, the Chief of Staff of the Northern Army.
The exchange in the conference room was constant.
Chief of Staff Shen Lin was about sixty years old, which was considered young in Blue Star, after all, the average life expectancy was over 100 years.
Chief of Staff Shen Lin adjusted his posture and said:
"Regarding the second and third levels."
"If you have any ideas, feel free to say them."
Soon, someone raised their hand.
Chief of Staff Shen Lin signaled him to speak, and that Mobile Corps Commander said:
"From the first level, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Free Star Cluster Federation's soldiers is not weak."
"If we hadn't had special training in the copy for the past half year, the result would probably be about the same."
"And the second level is also the strength of the Free Star Cluster Federation."
"On Earth, the sea area was originally small, and a quarter was on the side of the Free Star Cluster Federation; they must be stronger than us in naval warfare, air warfare, and island warfare."
"Although the result of the second level is not yet certain."
"But I think subsequent training can include some training in naval warfare, island warfare, etc."
Clearly, everyone didn't take the second level too seriously, but were studying expanding training projects.
Chief of Staff Shen Lin nodded:
"This can be studied; after all, island warfare is still different from our usual training."
At this time.
Shen Yan raised his hand, and Chief of Staff Shen Lin looked over:
"Shen Yan, what did you think of."
"Tell me."
Shen Yan said:
"The others are not important."
"The main thing is how to fight the third level?"
"We have indeed improved a lot in the past half year, but we all learned from the 【Republic】 troops."
"Everyone knows the combat effectiveness of 【Republic】 soldiers."
"So I'm thinking, in case we can't beat them... how can we show it more decently."
"After all, other federations definitely don't know how strong the 【Republic】 troops are."
"It's not the same concept as the European battlefield in 'World War II: Rise of Empires', they might be iron-headed and fight to the death."
"We can't make that kind of mistake."
Everyone in the conference room nodded.
Indeed.
Other federations didn't have Polaris's exclusive copies, but they had practiced for half a year.
Although the 【Republic】 at this time was still in the national liberation period and hadn't been perfected like the later timeline, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was clearly unquestionable.
Fighting to the death would have no good ending.
The last one to fight to the death was the 17-nation coalition in the exclusive copy.
In case we can't beat them.
We really have to consider a more decent way of fighting... everyone discussed in the conference room.
The next day.
Saturday.
Because it was Saturday, the number of viewers in the major federation streams was already higher than yesterday before it even started.
As the start time passed.
In the official stream of the Great Xia Federation.
Mo Xiaomo and Tianji appeared on the screen on time:
"Hello everyone."
"I am Tianji."
"I am Mo Xiaomo."
"Welcome to the joint military exercise held by the six major federations; today, what the major federations are challenging is the second level."
"【Battle of Luzon】"
"Mainly landing warfare."
"It is said that on the day of this landing battle, about nearly 70,000 American Federation soldiers landed on the island from various places."
"So as the defending side, the pressure on the six major federations is not generally high."
Saying this, on the big screen behind them.
The troops of the six major federations appeared, all of whom had entered the room and were waiting, and then the screen switched to the game.
The bird's-eye view swept across the entire island, and the Blue Star netizens watching the stream looked at the screen and discussed the upcoming battle.
However, when the screen showed the sea surface...
Everyone was stunned, and the barrage in the stream surged wildly.
【Are those all warships? Damn?】
【Good guy, densely packed, there must be hundreds of them?】
【I scanned it with a photon supercomputer, there are over 600 American Federation warships.】
【How many???】
【Over 600, how can this be fought?!】
At first, when Tianji said nearly 70,000 American Federation soldiers landed on the island, there was no concept, but at this time on the sea... there were over 600 densely packed warships.
Hiss—Mo Xiaomo and Tianji saw the game screen and were also somewhat surprised, and at this time, all the soldiers in the six major federations' streams were ready, and then they started entering the game.
The soldiers naturally didn't know how many warships were on the sea.
The first time they entered the game, the major federations began to deploy their battles according to their own plans.
And as the major federations entered.
The screen in the stream suddenly expanded, becoming the opening CG.
Only to see MacArthur in the screen standing on the landing ship, holding binoculars, looking at the landing point on the island ahead, then lowering the binoculars, and the soldier beside him took them.
MacArthur's expression was leisurely, and he began to give orders.
Soon.
The various warships of the American Federation received MacArthur's orders.
Boom boom—the warships at the front began to bombard the defensive line on the island, shells fired like they were free, even if the distance was too far, many hitting the sea didn't matter.
Then it switched to the screen of the six major federations defending on the island.
At this time.
Whether it was the six major federation soldiers in the game.
Or the Blue Star netizens watching outside the stream, they all thought this was just fire cover before landing.
The six major federation soldiers in the stream were hiding behind cover and were ready for battle.
And the Blue Star netizens were also looking forward to the start of the landing battle.
Until... an hour later.
In the game.
In the copy where the Free Star Cluster Federation was located.
All the soldiers were numb; damn... Earth doesn't talk about morality.
Who bombards for an hour as fire cover before the war starts.
Just because you have a lot of ammunition supplies, right?!
Damn!!!
However, no matter how they complained, the deafening sound of artillery fire in their ears didn't stop for a moment.
The soldiers of the Free Star Cluster Federation didn't dare to go out either.
Hundreds of warships were spread out on the sea, bombarding the beach defensive line, they could only wait for the enemy to land before talking.
Outside.
The Blue Star netizens watching were also numb.
They thought it would be over after a few minutes of bombardment, and that landing on the island quickly was the point.
As a result, this American Federation was not in a hurry to land at all.
Over 600 warships spread out on the sea, taking turns bombarding the beach, and this hour didn't start fighting at all, it was completely the American Federation consuming ammunition unilaterally.
Who can't fight this kind of rich battle?!
Damn.
I can do it too!
On the other side.
In the copy where the Great Xia Federation was located.
Although they were prepared, they still couldn't help but complain; Shen Yan lay in a corner, holding binoculars, looking at the American Federation warships on the sea that didn't intend to come in, and couldn't help but have a toothache:
"These dogs, how much ammunition do they have."
"They've been bombing for an hour, are they going to fight or not?"
The American Federation didn't land on the island, and the six major federations had no way, so they could only be bombed passively; after all, no matter how far the guns in their hands could shoot, they couldn't shoot the big cannons on the warships.
Fortunately, after about 10 minutes.
The American Federation's warships began to move toward the island; this was intended to land on the island.
Seeing this.
The soldiers of the six major federations also cheered up.
It was fortunate that they knew this was a military exercise, so they reorganized their morale quickly.
In the official stream of the Great Xia Federation.
Tianji and Mo Xiaomo also breathed a sigh of relief, finally starting to fight.
They had nothing to talk about for an hour.
At this time, the American Federation troops had begun to land on the island, encountering the full resistance of the various federations in the six streams; although the main force on the island was the six major federations.
But as NPC Japanese troops, they also sent out planes to cooperate with the main force on the beach.
Soon.
Wonderful shots appeared in each stream.
It's just that it wasn't the six major federations, but the auxiliary troops defending the island, the Kamikaze Special Attack Team.
These NPCs driving planes were completely suicide attacks.
From taking off from the island to hitting the warship, it took only a few minutes or ten minutes.
Although this kind of suicide attack could cause good damage.
But.
The number of planes on the island couldn't compare to the American Federation warships on the sea.
Not enough to consume.
By the time the Kamikaze Special Attack Team's planes were almost consumed, the American Federation soldiers also began to occupy the beach on a large scale, and then established a defensive line to advance slowly.
The six major federations didn't have enough people, so they could only retreat while fighting.
From the screen, the tactics of the major federations were basically the same, holding key points, defending this beach to the death.
Looking at the consumption of both sides, Mo Xiaomo looked at the battlefields of each stream and said:
"The landing battle has started in the copy."
"From the screen, currently the Slavic Federation, Free Star Cluster Federation, and our Great Xia Federation's formation are a bit more stable."
"The Jin Yue Federation eldest prince seems to be setting up some kind of military formation again, but the effect might not be very good."
"A gap has already been beaten out in this while."
"Look at the Yadong United Federation..."
Time passed bit by bit.
Compared to yesterday's desert environment, and Rommel's elusive command.
At this time, the six major federations defending the island basically had no tactics to speak of, only defense, and the attacking American Federation also didn't have much technical content.
Pure firepower coverage, then explosive troop horizontal push; if they couldn't push... then firepower coverage.
If they still couldn't push?
Continue firepower coverage, planes and warships taking turns bombing.
It made many netizens twitch their mouths.
Originally, the number of online viewers exceeded yesterday's at the beginning, but at this time, it had dropped to less than half of yesterday's.
Zhao Ming was making hidden copies.
But was interrupted by Shen Qinghan's communication, asking if the Federation could adjust the combat method to make it as exciting as possible.
Zhao Ming switched to the stream to take a look; all the data was set.
Forcibly intervening to adjust, only a fool wouldn't see it.
Thinking about it, Zhao Ming found the information on 【Battle of Tashan】, organized the order, and sent it to Mo Xiaomo and Tianji who were streaming.
At this time.
Tianji and Mo Xiaomo, who had been streaming for a whole morning and were still looking for explanation points, breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the file sent by Zhao Ming.
Looking at the streaming screen, they were still consuming.
Tianji organized the file, scanned it quickly, and then looked at the camera:
"Alright, it's lunch break now."
"Everyone has watched for a whole morning, must be tired, right?"
As the words fell.
The barrage in the stream floated across the equipment, of course, not good words... Tianji and Mo Xiaomo naturally ignored it, then Tianji said:
"Taking advantage of the lunch break."
"We have received the information on 【Battle of Tashan】 sent by Polaris company CEO Mr. Zhao Ming."
"For the next period of time."
"Let's preview the information on 【Battle of Tashan】."
As soon as this was said.
The Blue Star netizens who were almost sleepy suddenly came to their spirits.
After all, this was a battle of the 【Republic】.
The number of viewers in the stream soared because of the explanation of 【Battle of Tashan】.
Tianji and Mo Xiaomo followed the order of the information to explain.
Mo Xiaomo clicked on the virtual projection in front of her, and a virtual map was projected in the stream:
"【Battle of Tashan】 as part of the 【Liaoshen Campaign】 is also the top priority."
"To understand 【Battle of Tashan】, one must understand the overall situation of the 【Liaoshen Campaign】."
"This is also the first time we have seen the complete Northeast map, everyone please look."
"From the colors on the map, it can be roughly divided into three parts."
"The blue side in the Tashan part at the bottom left of the map, and the red side defending the Tashan area."
"The blue side in Jinzhou behind Tashan, and the red side surrounding Jinzhou."
"And the blue side occupying Shenyang in the last part, and the red side defending in tiers around Shenyang."
"According to the data marked on the map."
"The blue side troops moving east from Huludao, wanting to support Jinzhou, have 100,000 people."
"The blue side garrison trapped in Jinzhou has about 150,000 people."
"And the blue side garrison in the Shenyang direction has about 300,000 people."
(Cooperate with the large picture above, it can be more intuitive.)
"Looking at it this way, the 100,000 people of the Eastward Corps are quite important."
"Because once these 100,000 people pass the Tashan defensive line, they can cooperate with the blue side garrison in Jinzhou to carry out a counter-encirclement of the red side troops in the west."
"And the blue side garrison in the Shenyang direction can also move west, and cooperate with the Jinzhou side to carry out a counter-encirclement of the red side troops in the east."
"Hiss—looking at it this way, once the Tashan defensive line is lost, the entire war situation in the Northeast part will be a mess."
"So serious?!"
"A sentence in the 【Huaxia】 series game, called 'pulling one hair and moving the whole body', is it like this?"
As she spoke, Mo Xiaomo widened her eyes.
Looking at this 8-kilometer battle line of Tashan, she finally realized how important this place was.
(Modifying... can only use red and blue sides to represent, will try to write it in a bigger chapter tomorrow.) ===== CHAPTER 170 =====
Looking at this mere 8-kilometer battle line at Tashan, only now did he realize just how important this place was.
(Tweaking and editing... I can only use Red and Blue sides to represent them; I will try my best to finish writing a larger chapter tomorrow.)
End of Chapter
