Chapter 210: [Second Campaign Ends, Fighting Past the 38th Parallel!] (4.2k)

Looking at the colors representing the Volunteers quietly approaching on the "real-time map."

Blue Star players have an "as expected" look.

Clearly, the Volunteers do not intend to let the American 1st Marine Division go.

Li Ran walks out of the tent.

At this time, the Water Gate Bridge here has become a bit congested.

Over the past four days.

The subsequent main forces have all caught up, and then they are blocked here.

The gap on the bridge is not big, but people can't jump over it, the bridge foundation was blown up, and even if wooden boards are laid, armored vehicles can't pass, so the main force can only be blocked here.

Li Ran finds a corner and looks at the Water Gate Bridge under the distant lights.

At this time, the Water Gate Bridge has been repaired almost completely; the bridge foundation destroyed during the second bombing has also been barely filled in during these four days.

Due to the limited area of the bridge, the troops can only retreat slowly.

Li Ran is a vanguard unit, but there is still a large batch of people in front who haven't retreated yet.

It's not their turn.

It's just that not many have retreated yet, and the Volunteers have already touched over... looking at the "real-time map," a small squad of only a few people is touching here.

Even the Blue Star netizens are worried.

Too bold.

Blocking here is the main force of the American 1st Marine Division, over ten thousand people, and it is a mechanized armored unit; who dares to organize a small squad to rush here? They wouldn't dare to do this even in a game.

But the Volunteers really dare, and not only dare, they are almost touching here.

However, the Federal equipment is not installed for nothing.

As the Volunteer small squad gets closer and closer to the Water Gate Bridge, the Water Gate Bridge, which is full of searchlights and patrolling soldiers, suddenly emits a gunshot.

Followed by machine gun strafing.

Tut-tut-tut—the muzzle flashes of guns continuously light up on the distant great mountains.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

Federal soldiers shout, and all the Federal soldiers near the Water Gate Bridge are alarmed.

On the Water Gate Bridge.

The retreating Federal team stops for a moment, quickly preparing for battle.

Li Ran hides in the corner, looking at the bridge.

Suddenly.

A sound of explosion suddenly comes from under the bridge, and the firelight suddenly lights up, illuminating the pitch-black night.

It was the Federal soldiers on the bridge who discovered the Volunteer soldiers under the bridge and were forced to detonate the explosive packs that hadn't been placed properly in advance; although the bridge was damaged a bit.

But the repaired bridge foundation didn't have much trouble.

The Federal soldiers on the bridge scream and curse, shooting at the Volunteers below.

The Volunteer small squad covering them also doesn't care about hiding, firing with full firepower at the Federal soldiers on the positions around the bridge, while the machine gunner on the Federal position also discovered them.

The machine gun bullets sweep over like raindrops, and the next second, two Volunteer soldiers who were still firing fall.

And on the position, there are even Federal tanks aiming at the Volunteer squad on the hillside.

Inside Li Ran's live stream room.

Looking at the fierce battle situation, clearly occupying the advantage, and the Volunteers only have a few small squads interfering, but it is as if the Volunteers are attacking with heavy troops.

These soldiers of the American 1st Marine Division fight timidly, especially in this dark night.

Clearly, after this period of torture, they have all been beaten into psychological shadows by the Volunteers.

And in this fierce battlefield.

The Volunteer soldiers lurking toward the Water Gate Bridge also rush under the Water Gate Bridge under cover.

Seeing that they didn't stop them.

The Federal soldiers on the bridge shout to retreat, and the surrounding Federal soldiers quickly disperse, while the firepower on the bridge pours down.

Aiming at the Volunteer soldiers preparing to blow up the bridge below.

However, it is already too late.

The Volunteer soldiers who can rush under the bridge didn't intend to go back alive anyway.

Accompanied by a earth-shattering loud noise.

Firelight shoots into the sky.

And that bridge foundation that the Federation spent four days and nights repairing is destroyed by the Volunteers again.

The moment the explosion rises.

The entire battlefield stops; the Federal soldiers look at the firelight at the Water Gate Bridge in a daze, and a young American soldier kneels on the ground.

His expression collapses:

"God... I want to go home..."

The expression on his face is no less than the end of the world.

And the surrounding Volunteer small squads are retreating under cover.

The Federal side is also in no mood to continue pursuing.

Because everyone is looking at the destroyed "Water Gate Bridge," not knowing what to do.

Inside Li Ran's live stream room, the barrage of Blue Star netizens floats past:

【Textbook-level enemy rear insertion, three-time bombing of Water Gate Bridge!】

【Flesh and blood, blowing up the steel barrier.】

【The entire battlefield is quiet, the Federation has no way, right?】

【It's already the third time, don't know if there will be a fourth time.】

【Laughing to death, the mechanized armored unit was beaten like this, why does it feel so miserable but I want to laugh.】

【Look at the expressions of those Federal soldiers, they have also collapsed.】

The facts are just as the netizens in the live stream room said; many Federal soldiers look at the collapsed bridge foundation and have already knelt on the ground and wailed painfully.

Compared to the Volunteers who were continuously destroyed by Federal bombers in the previous plot videos, it forms a sharp contrast.

From the expressions of these Federal soldiers.

Blue Star netizens discover that although the psychological quality of these Federal soldiers is a bit better than the Australian battalion, Turkish brigade, etc., it doesn't seem to be much better.

A few bombings and they are like this, all on the verge of collapse.

However, compared to the panicked Federal soldiers, Li Ran sees the high-ranking officials of the American 1st Marine Division walking out from heavy protection in the distance, but they have no look of panic.

Li Ran focuses his perspective there, and the Blue Star netizens in the live stream room also discover something wrong.

Looking at the calm high-level officials of the American 1st Marine Division, they guess one after another if there are any trump cards left.

Blue Star players guess one after another.

This video was cut into the official forum of Polar Star, which caused quite a lot of discussion.

In this situation, how could they retreat?

Could it be that the Federation transferred a large number of aircraft? But there is no airport?

And these guesses only lasted for half a day.

Because the plot in the game has already reached the next day, and the doubts of the Blue Star netizens have also been answered.

There are no large numbers of aircraft, and no new routes.

It is that the Federation airdropped 8 sets of M2 treadway bridge components from Japan, all made of steel, and after dropping them, they were installed and erected.

Directly spanning the "Water Gate Bridge."

And they are components made of steel, so there is no need to worry about not being able to bear the weight of tanks and armored vehicles driving over.

Blue Star netizens only then remembered.

Although the Federation has been beaten since the Volunteers participated in the war, plus the period of Zhangjinhu being beaten so miserably, making many people ignore the Federation's powerful logistics.

No one expected that they would complete the repair of the "Water Gate Bridge" in such a way, a dimensionality reduction strike of industry.

Now.

Even the Volunteers have no way.

Because the steel components do not need the support of the bridge foundation, their own strength is enough for armored tanks to pass.

And the other bridge foundations are now under the guard of the Federation and cannot be blown up.

The Federal troops begin to retreat slowly.

And it quickly becomes Li Ran's vanguard unit's turn.

After passing the Water Gate Bridge, Li Ran looks back.

The mountains on the opposite side still have no trace of the Volunteers, but on the "real-time map," one can still see many Volunteer small squads watching this direction.

When passing the Water Gate Bridge region, the 1st Marine Division merges with other Federal troops.

And the Volunteers also gave up continuing the pursuit because most of the main force of the 1st Marine Division had already crossed the bridge.

Very quickly.

Li Ran follows the Federal main force, retreats to the port, and leaves here.

Up to this point.

The Second Campaign ends.

From the bloody battle of Sanzuoli on the western front, Songgufeng blocking battle.

To the annihilation of the "Polar Bear Regiment" in the Zhangjinhu region on the eastern front, the battle of Xiaogaoling, the three-time bombing of the Water Gate Bridge, etc.

The Volunteers showed themselves on a world scale for the first time and shocked the whole world.

At this time.

The United Nations forces of the Federation retreated south as a whole, from originally approaching the Yalu River, to being beaten south of the 38th Parallel.

In some personal plots synchronized with the 【Battle against the Federation】 time.

Blue Star players collected reports from all over the world on the Federal defeat, as well as reports on the Volunteers.

Federal "New York Times":

"In the frozen hell of the northeastern part of the peninsula, the 1st Marine Division of the US Navy experienced the most tragic battle since its establishment..."

"... They wore thin cotton-padded clothes, stepped on rubber-soled shoes, but could lurk in the snow all night waiting for an ambush..."

"Washington admits that the losses in this campaign far exceed expectations..."

British Federation "The Times":

"The 【Republic】... which was once asserted by General MacArthur as 'not intervening on a large scale'... has now crushed the offensive of the United Nations forces with the momentum of thunder. 'Their infantry can cross the mountain ridges that the Federal troops think are 'impossible to pass' at night...'"

French Federation "Le Monde":

"Eastern 'Verdun'? — The Far East battlefield falls into a cruel war of attrition."

"The Peninsula War is evolving into a terrible tug-of-war."

"The participation of the 【Republic】 army has caused the United Nations forces to encounter the 'most tragic defeat since the Pearl Harbor incident'."

【Republic】 "People's Daily":

"Volunteers achieve continuous brilliant victories, American imperialist invaders retreat across the board!!!"

"Our Volunteers annihilated the US 'Polar Bear Regiment' in the Zhangjinhu region and severely beat the fleeing enemy at Sanzuoli, Songgufeng, and other places."

"The enemy troops abandoned a large amount of weapons and equipment and fled south to south of the 38th Parallel."

"This great victory has dealt a heavy blow to the arrogant arrogance of American imperialism and highlighted the firm determination of the Volunteer soldiers to protect their homes and defend the country."

Blue Star players, in their respective plots, collected newspapers and posted them to the forum one after another.

At this time, the Federal retreat in the "Earth" caused a huge stir, and major federations and countries reported this matter one after another.

This Federal retreat not only represents the reversal of the situation on the peninsula battlefield.

It also makes the world's federations and countries in "Earth" re-evaluate the power balance in the Far East region.

One must know that a Soviet Union is already hard to fight.

Now it turns out there is one that can fight even better... and it is the one that truly beat the Federation into retreat.

Now all countries have to seriously consider their attitude toward the "【Republic】."

And it is not just the sudden rise of the "【Republic】."

The military prestige of the Federation is also collapsing rapidly.

If they cannot quickly counterattack and remedy it, then MacArthur's sentence "End the war before Christmas" will become an international joke.

Many European countries have privately begun to consider the situation in the Asian region, and some countries have even begun to reduce material support for the peninsula.

After all, "Le Monde" of the French Federation is right; this is the eastern "Verdun," this kind of meat grinder quagmire, not something small countries can participate in.

And the British Federation has accelerated its evacuation from the Asian region.

Because if the "【Republic】" has the power to contend with the Federation, then the Federation is dragged out by the "【Republic】," and the Soviet Union in Europe will have no opponent.

Because of the uncertainty of the Soviet Union.

The British Federation began to draw a large number of troops from the Southeast Asian region back to defend Europe, and the British Federation's colonial system in Asia was further loosened because of this.

Looking at the plot, because the Volunteers beat the Federation south of the 38th Parallel, it caused such a huge chain reaction.

Blue Star players cannot help but marvel.

Never thought that one day, because of a battlefield, the situation of the entire world in the game would change.

Some even think.

The Western countries in the "Earth" in the game seem to be overreacting.

But in fact, it is not.

It is not that they are overreacting, but that someone is really taking action.

Who are the British Federation and the French Federation afraid of?

What is the reason for the British Federation to draw a large number of troops from the East Asian region back to defend Europe?

There is only one answer.

The Soviet Union.

After the "【Republic】" beat the Federation south of the 38th Parallel, the Soviet Union, seeing that the "【Republic】" could drag down the Federation.

And could even win.

Changed its previous attitude, not only providing air cover but also supporting a large amount of heavy weapons and equipment.

And while providing these to the "【Republic】,"

The Soviet Union also increased the intensity of military exercises in Europe, testing the reactions of European countries, which is why the British Federation drew a large number of troops back to reinforce Europe.

Who dares to gamble that the Soviet Union is really exercising.

What if they suddenly move west?

Especially that Soviet Union, counting on it to be kind?

They all mixed through World War II, who doesn't know what they did?

Military exercises every day.

Who dares to gamble that they won't take action.

The high-level officials of the British Federation and the French Federation haven't forgotten how the Soviet Union "liberated" Europe in the few years after World War II.

First, tanks drove in, then puppet governments were supported.

Then one country after another became a Soviet satellite state.

No resistance?

There was... but they all died when the tanks drove in.

So they have to defend against it.

Although the war on the peninsula has not ended, European countries dare to conclude that once the Federation is really trapped in the "peninsula" quagmire.

The Soviet Union won't even wait for the next day to attack.

So.

The eyes of the whole world are now gathered on the peninsula.

Everyone wants to see if the next situation is a successful Federal counterattack or being trapped in a quagmire.

Because this might determine the fate of the European continent.

Once the Federation is dragged into the "peninsula."

Hiss—

They seem to see the entire Europe prostrate at the feet of that greedy giant bear.

And at this time, at the 38th Parallel.

Artillery fire tore through the silence of dawn.

After ending the "Second Campaign (November 7,

The "Republic" decided to cross the 38th Parallel!

To shatter the "ceasefire first, negotiate later" facade put up by the U. S. Federation.

While not giving the enemy a chance to catch their breath, it was also to strive for greater initiative in the upcoming negotiations.
