Chapter 189: 【The Blood Feud of 40 Years of the Republic】 (4.4k)

At this time.

On the Tiansha livestream platform, in streamer Shi Rui's livestream.

Shi Rui was hiding behind a dirt slope, watching the situation at Lu Gouqiao, and also livestreaming to the Blue Star netizens:

"Hiss—"

"Brothers, finally caught a plot?!"

Originally, Shi Rui was like other streamers, constantly skipping plots, wanting to trigger the Four Crossings of the Chishui River in 1935.

It's just that at the beginning, the preparations and identity were not handled well, leading to being almost suspected as a spy when arriving at the Soviet area, so naturally, he couldn't join.

But he was originally aiming to trigger the 【Four Crossings of the Chishui River】 plot, and now because of the identity issue, the Red side obviously couldn't join.

That plot about the Red side naturally couldn't be triggered.

But giving up and restarting would waste too much time, so Shi Rui looked at other events on the 【Republic】 timeline on the Jixing official website.

Excluding the Red side's, there were also many major events in the 【Republic】 at this time.

So after the time node of 1935, Shi Rui constantly went to various places to see if he could trigger any plots.

It's just.

Still looking at luck.

From the Soviet area all the way to Beiping, from the 1935 time point, intermittently jumping to the 1937 time point.

He didn't trigger it.

Until tonight, wanting to go to Beiping from Lu Gouqiao, but when he arrived, he found the atmosphere was wrong.

Shi Rui hurriedly hid behind the dirt slope and poked his head out, using the magnifying glass function of the livestream to look at Lu Gouqiao.

Sure enough.

Not long after, a team of Japanese soldiers walked onto Lu Gouqiao and talked to the soldiers of the 29th Army opposite Lu Gouqiao.

Shi Rui was watching, when he saw that team of Japanese soldiers suddenly open fire, shooting at the soldiers of the 29th Army:

"The Japanese are directly doing it?"

Shi Rui was a bit suspicious and said to the netizens in the livestream.

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream were also watching intently.

At this time, the garrison at Lu Gouqiao had already started to fight back against the Japanese attack, but it was obvious that the Japanese were prepared, and as the side guarding the bridge.

They should have had the advantage, but at this time, they were actually suppressed by firepower.

At this time.

A danmu drifted by.

【The photon supercomputer read the words of that team of Japanese soldiers, saying they lost a soldier?】

The danmu drifted by, and the livestream was full of question marks.

【???】

【Lost a soldier? This excuse is too outrageous!】

【This wave is obviously the devils wanting to make trouble, streamer run quickly.】

【The little devils are like this, didn't you understand when playing 【WWII】?】

【【WWII】 didn't open 【Republic】, now finally can understand this war.】

【No? Are the little devils' eyebrows light bulbs? Such an outrageous reason can be thought of?】

Shi Rui looked at the danmu and nodded.

His gaze looked at the Lu Gouqiao in the distance, and he said:

"Indeed."

"This reason is too outrageous."

Lu Gouqiao in the distance.

Spanning across the Yongding River, the length was only 200+ meters, and no one traveled at night, while the bridgehead was a defensive fortification built by the 29th Army, obviously having guarded against the Japanese long ago.

Such a situation.

A bridge of only 200+ meters, with defensive fortifications on both sides.

A living person could get lost walking here?

Still a soldier?

Is there any dare to be more ridiculous?

Do they really think everyone is blind?

But obviously, the soldiers of the 29th Army didn't expect that sometimes no reason was needed.

The Japanese troops were obviously premeditated.

This was just an excuse.

It seemed they were waiting for the 29th Army soldiers to refuse.

As soon as they refused to be searched, the Japanese troops opened fire, suppressing the 29th Army soldiers guarding the bridge for a time.

But the 29th Army soldiers who reacted quickly, relying on the strong firepower of the bridgehead, beat the Japanese back for a time, but the Japanese not only had rifles and light machine guns.

Soon.

In Shi Rui's perspective, several Type 92 infantry guns were pushed out by the Japanese.

They aimed at the 29th Army's defensive position at Lu Gouqiao and started a wild bombardment.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—

For a time.

Shells landed one after another on the 29th Army's defensive position.

Taking advantage of the firepower suppression.

The Japanese advanced in a skirmish line, three people in a group alternating fire, relying on the long range and accuracy of the Type 38 rifle, specifically targeting the 29th Army machine gunners at the bridgehead position.

In the perspective of Shi Rui's livestream.

Watching the Japanese troops advance rapidly, some even rushed to the 29th Army's position opposite.

Compared to the Japanese troops.

The 29th Army's equipment was messy, and some even had no weapons.

When the Japanese soldiers killed their way over, they held broadswords and slashed at the Japanese soldiers.

Shi Rui saw a 29th Army soldier slash two Japanese soldiers, then wanted to raise his sword to slash the next one, but was swept by several machine gun bullets and fell with hatred.

The Japanese's powerful firepower made them quickly break through the Lu Gouqiao defense line.

And advanced toward Beiping.

Watching the Japanese troops driving toward Beiping through Lu Gouqiao.

For a time.

Shi Rui didn't know where to go.

Thought about it.

Could only run back first to see the development here.

The next day.

In Shi Rui's livestream.

At this time, Shi Rui was sitting at a tea stall listening to the discussions of the people around him about last night.

"Did you hear? Last night Lu Gouqiao started fighting!"

"Isn't it! My cousin is on duty in Wanping City, and was awakened by the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night, saying the Japanese fired first!"

"Japanese? Didn't they say we fired first?"

"Listen to those Japanese fart! These little Japanese did it to occupy Beiping."

"Sigh.... heard that the brothers guarding the bridge suffered many casualties, the Japanese firepower was too fierce, machine guns, cannons all used, our people some didn't even have guns, carrying broadswords and rushed up..."

"What are the Japanese doing? Could it be they really want to fight Beiping?"

"Then what do we do? Run?"

"Run? Where to run? Tianjin is not peaceful either!"

The atmosphere at the tea stall became more and more heavy, some cursed in low voices, some sighed.

And Shi Rui also collected information for a whole night, temporarily figured out the situation in Beiping, hung the sorted map in the livestream, and said to the netizens:

"This is the intelligence of the current 'Republic' I collected last night."

"It is indeed like the NPC next to me said, nowhere is peaceful."

"Look at the map."

Saying that, Shi Rui zoomed in on the map in the livestream.

Shi Rui pointed to the map and said:

"1937 time point."

"The north of Beiping from the Great Wall's Juyongguan to Shanhaiguan is controlled by the Japanese army."

"The south is blocked by the Yongding River, and the east is the Bohai Sea with the Japanese fleet."

"And the Lu Gouqiao traffic artery in the west is an important entrance and exit for Beiping."

"Once Lu Gouqiao is controlled."

"It can be said that the entrance and exit of Beiping are completely blocked."

"East, west, north, south all blocked."

Looking at the map drawn by Shi Rui, the Blue Star netizens in the livestream couldn't help but nod.

Indeed.

Looking at it this way, there is no way out at all.

The entire Pingjin region's channel to the south is all blocked because of that Yongding River.

No wonder the Japanese army is so obsessed with Lu Gouqiao, this important traffic hub.

Shi Rui is currently on the south side of the Yongding River, not entering Beiping, and of course, he can't get in now, as it has been completely blocked by the Japanese army.

He can't see the situation inside even if he wants to.

Mainly because there are too few people jumping to this 1937 time node.

The streamers who jumped before were all to trigger the Four Crossings of the Chishui River, and later it was the Long March, currently most are at the 1935 time node.

Only some streamers who didn't join the Red side because of identity issues kept skipping plots.

Shi Rui jumped from 1935 to 1937 here, and only then triggered this plot, one can imagine the difficulty of triggering it.

But it also successfully brought up a wave of popularity.

After all, in "World War II: The Rise of the Empire," Jixing has never opened the 【Republic】 region plot.

Now it can be considered participating in it.

This also stirred up many streamers to change direction, preparing to trigger plots according to events and locations against Japan.

There are many discussions in the Jixing forum.

The Blue Star players finally shifted their focus from the Red and Blue sides to the Japanese invasion.

Only then did they discover that unknowingly, Beiping was almost occupied by Japan.

When did it develop so fast?

In fact, most players won't skip plots like streamers, so they don't feel it when playing slowly, and those streamers because they skipped too fast, plus their focus was in the south.

Also didn't notice the situation in the Republic at this time.

But with the start of the 【Lu Gouqiao Incident】, Blue Star players suddenly became curious about how long Japan had been developing.

Many players began to restart, choosing the Northeast region to check.

And in another livestream.

Streamer Gao Bo, who manages the Blue side's file room, also searched for information about Japan under the strong request of Blue Star netizens.

After all, compared to other players searching from various time points, those managing official files must be faster.

And Gao Bo agreed, and soon sorted out a pile of documents.

But as he flipped through the war documents between the two countries in recent decades, Gao Bo's brows became more and more wrinkled.

The netizens in the livestream asked one after another when they saw Gao Bo like this.

Gao Bo frowned and said:

"Japan..."

"I seem to know why the Republic didn't open the 【Republic】 plot during WWII."

"Everyone remembers that when WWII was settled, it was introduced that the 【Republic】 suffered more than 35 million casualties during the War of Resistance, right?"

The danmu in the livestream was a bit confused, but basically everyone knew.

Gao Bo took a deep breath and took out several documents:

"These documents are what Japan has done since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894."

"1894, after the Sino-Japanese War, Jinzhou.... about 2,000 civilians died, followed by Lushun.... causing about 20,000 civilian deaths."

"Tian Zhuangtai.... about 2,200 civilian deaths."

"Xiao event..... about 27,000 civilians."

"Sanjiaoyong.... about 20,000 deaths."

"Yunlin.... retaliatory sweeping, burning 56 villages, casualties about 10,000 civilians."

"There is also an August report in the 'Times': The degree of Japanese soldiers' violence and insults is staggering, killing and setting fires unscrupulously,"

"Old, young, women, none are spared."

"Jinan.... about 17,000 military and civilians."

"Shanghai 'January 28' incident: 12,600+ victims."

"Pingdingshan.... 3,000+ civilians."

"Xinbin.... about 10,000 victims."

"Yucheng.... 2,000.... Linjiang.... 8,000.... Yilan.... another 20,000+?!"

"Holy crap?!"

"What the hell is the Blue side doing?!"

"The last few, even happened last year!!!"

Gao Bo's time point was to pursue the Red side's Four Crossings of the Chishui River, so it was the 1935 time point, and the latest data could only be up to last year, 1934.

But what made Gao Bo and Blue Star netizens feel explosive was.

Since 1894, Japan had actually killed so many civilians on the Huaxia land?!

These are civilians?!

If it were dead soldiers, Japan could find reasons to say it was battle casualties, but these were massacres aimed at civilians, and even from 1894 all the way to 1934.

Forty whole years, countless massacres and tragedies.

Directly refreshed the Blue Star netizens' cognition.

One can imagine.

In the period from 1894 to 1935, Japan had not yet fully invaded the Huaxia land, and had already caused so many tragedies, one can imagine what Japan would do later.

No wonder the Jixing official website didn't open the 【Republic】 plot in 【WWII】.

Compared to Japan, the Empire didn't seem so cruel.

Because compared to Japan, the Lidice massacre (the origin of International Children's Day) caused by Heydrich's assassination in the Empire.

Only caused 340 deaths.

Japan?

Just in the period from 1894 to 1934, the massacres caused deaths of hundreds of thousands.

Not to mention after the 1937 invasion.

(Incomplete version of 1937 only)

At this time, Blue Star netizens finally understood why the whole country of Huaxia was so hateful toward Japan; this was not one or two wars.

But 40 years of peeping and madness.

Just looking at the numbers on the documents was shocking.

Blood-stained numbers.

Many Blue Star netizens were also seeing these dusty data intuitively for the first time, unbelievable.

These crimes.

Any one of them, if placed in other countries, would be enough to trigger eternal hatred.

The danmu in the livestream was silent for a moment, then erupted like a tide:

【Crap! I thought those human bombs in WWII were already beasts, I didn't expect them to be even more beastly!】

【The Empire at least repented publicly after being defeated, that side still denies it, right?】

【My hands are shaking.... ctm!】

【Finally understood the words "Should 400 million Chinese be angry," facing such a blood feud, Europe still wanted to divide Shandong to that side, who can not hate this?】

【No wonder in those CGs, students mentioned Japan and were emotional, this blood debt is too heavy, who can let go of this history.】

【Too suffocating, why didn't I hear this information before, has Europe been downplaying it?】

Looking at the danmu in the livestream, Gao Bo also looked solemn, looking at the documents in his hand.

Is someone always downplaying it?

Indeed.

Because even the "Times," which couldn't bear to watch, spoke out, it only wrote that the Japanese army was unscrupulous in killing and setting fires, old, young, women, none were spared, without mentioning casualties.

The friction between Japan and European countries naturally goes without saying.

After all, neither side is clean.

It was like this before 1937, one can imagine what it was like after 1937, and that period was soon WWII, and the world's attention was all on Europe.

Regarding Japan's cruelty, Blue Star netizens now had a clearer cognition.

This is not just a short few years.

But from 1894, peeping at the Huaxia land for decades, and even several generations of Japan were madly wanting to occupy Huaxia.

Perhaps the Japanese soldier who participated in 1915 was the descendant of some Japanese soldier who participated in the Lushun massacre in 1894.

Perhaps the Japanese soldier in the 1934 Yilan massacre was the descendant of the Japanese soldier who participated in the 1915 massacre.... just thinking about these.

And perhaps the descendant of a Japanese soldier who participated in the 1934 massacre.

Will say a lighthearted sentence in the future: "Is it necessary to keep bringing up past events? What era is this now..."

An extremely nauseating and chilling scene.

The netizens of Blue Star shuddered just thinking about it.

Because based on their understanding of the Japanese within the "Earth" of the 【Game】, the Blue Star netizens felt that these Japanese people might truly be capable of doing such things.

And the footage from Gao Bo's stream was also edited into a video by others and uploaded to the game forum.

Regarding the crimes of Japan, it stirred up a thousand layers of waves in the Blue Star player forum in an instant.

Because these records were simply too anti-human.

Quite a few players started games from various points in time, preparing to see if those events truly happened.
