Chapter 211

At this moment.

Inside Yu Feng's livestream room.

Although he had not entered the 【Battlefield Against the U. S. Federation】, he was in his own 【Single-Player Story Mode】.

However, the popularity was no less than those livestream rooms that had already started the "Third Campaign," because in Yu Feng's 【Single-Player Story Mode】, he was the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.

The information collected was naturally much more than other streamers.

And he was an editor-in-chief who had been operating within the story since the end of WWII in 1945.

Compared to streamers with reporter identities, he could obtain more information.

At this time, Yu Feng was organizing the intelligence from this period.

Because he had been in the 【Battlefield Against the U. S. Federation】 during the "Second Campaign," he hadn't paid much attention to the 【Single-Player Story Mode】.

Now that the "Second Campaign" had ended, the Volunteer Army was preparing to launch the third wave of attacks.

Taking advantage of this time, Yu Feng returned to the 【Single-Player Story Mode】 to organize the situation in the U. S. Federation and on the peninsula during this period.

In the newspaper office, Yu Feng sat at his desk, with many documents and newspapers spread out on the surface, all intelligence from the last month.

After organizing them in chronological order, Yu Feng had a clear train of thought.

He arranged the newspapers and documents on the desk in order, then picked up the first one and said:

"Let's first take a look at the U. S. Federation's movements during this period."

"Regarding the war situation on the peninsula, actually, when the Second Campaign reached the Zhangjinhu area, the U. S. Federation already felt something was wrong."

"Because the Western Front retreated completely, and the Eastern Front at Zhangjinhu was surrounded."

"But at that time, they hadn't been defeated this miserably yet."

"So when the fighting in the Zhangjinhu area just began, the U. S. Federation proposed 'ceasefire negotiations' in an attempt to stall for time."

"But this tactic, to be honest... can fool other federations."

"And this tactic is clearly useless to the 【Republic】; one can see at a glance what kind of intentions the U. S. Federation has."

"So the 【Republic】 ignored it and directly besieged the Zhangjinhu area with full force."

"Then they drove all the U. S. Federation troops to the south of the 38th Parallel, and are now pushing toward Hancheng."

"Clearly, they want to continue expanding their results, which can give them some advantage in subsequent negotiations."

"However, I estimate that negotiations are unlikely."

"Why?"

"Because the U. S. Federation itself wants to use 'ceasefire negotiations' to mobilize troops and find ways to turn the situation around."

"Once a 'ceasefire' is truly achieved and the U. S. Federation turns the situation around, they clearly won't continue to negotiate, but will instead increase their offensive."

"This tactic has been used to death in the West, let alone using these petty tricks against the 'Republic'; anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance."

"And the 'Republic' did not give the U. S. Federation a chance for a 'ceasefire,' pushing all the way to the vicinity of the 38th Parallel."

"The U. S. Federation's crushing defeat is now known to the whole world."

"Under these circumstances, how could the U. S. Federation, having failed to achieve its goal, continue 'ceasefire negotiations'?"

"Since WWII, the U. S. Federation has always made others suffer."

"This time, the U. S. Federation has suffered such a big loss, they will absolutely not swallow it."

"Subsequent war conditions are expected to become intense."

"Then let's look at the situation of the major federations."

"First is the British Federation, which visited the White House urgently last month; the specific content is unknown, but it should be related to the peninsula."

"The Soviet Federation has increased its military control over Europe."

"Currently, they have sent advisory groups to take over the national defense affairs of federations and countries like Poland and Hungary."

"Hiss—"

"They aren't even pretending anymore."

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room were also tongue-tied.

Indeed.

Before, they were still a bit restrained, but now they are directly sending advisory groups to take over the national defense affairs of these small European countries.

The desire for control is too strong.

Looking at the intelligence from the Soviet Federation,

The Blue Star netizens also intuitively felt the worries of the British Federation and the French Federation.

It's too outrageous.

Directly air-dropping advisory groups to take over national defense affairs.

Having such a neighbor.

No one can sleep well.

Then Yu Feng took out two more pieces of intelligence and said:

"These two pieces of intelligence are quite interesting."

"The first is from the Soviet side; because of the 'Volunteer Army's' advantage in the peninsula war, the Soviet side is now preparing to expand its support for the 'Republic'."

"Everyone knows this."

"And the second is from the U. S. Federation side; because of the failure in the peninsula war, the blockade against the 'Republic' in the Asian region has been put on the agenda."

"Currently, the White House is discussing increasing the number of U. S. Federation bases in Japan from 150 to 800, while establishing military bases in East Asian regions such as the Philippines and Thailand."

"Preparing to carry out a comprehensive blockade against the 'Republic'."

"From these two pieces of intelligence, one can see that the U. S. Federation has truly fallen into a trap."

"Originally, it was the Soviet Union and the U. S. Federation competing for hegemony."

"Now, because of the failure in the peninsula war, the U. S. Federation has proposed a series of plans against the 'Republic'."

"From the military bases in Japan to the encirclement and blockade of the 'Republic' by countries in Southeast Asia, with this series of plans, the U. S. Federation may not be able to spare any hands to manage Europe."

"Because these plans cannot be completed in a day or two."

"As long as they are not completed for a day, the U. S. Federation will be dragged down in Asia for a day."

"And all the Soviet Federation needs to do is provide some equipment and personnel support to the 'Republic' to shake off this big trouble of the U. S. Federation."

"It's simply too cost-effective."

"However, this approach is truly hateful."

"Later, I estimate that the Republic and the Soviet Union will also have conflicts."

This remark was agreed upon by the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room.

Indeed.

There is no such way to be a boss.

Look at the U. S. Federation on the other side; when their little brother on the peninsula was bullied, they assembled a 17-nation coalition to fight back; this is truly stepping up when there's trouble.

And leading the charge.

While the Soviet Federation, after inciting their little brother to take action, hides themselves.

When the U. S. Federation fought to the Yalujiang, forcing the 'Republic' to take action, they were still watching from the sidelines, until the 'Second Campaign' pushed the U. S. Federation past the 38th Parallel.

Various support, equipment, and personnel began to be sent on a large scale.

Being stuck with such a boss, there is absolutely no other way.

The key is that other than the 'Republic,' the other little brothers, even if dissatisfied, can only go down one path to the end, because the situation in European countries is even worse than in Asia.

That is already the Soviet advisory group air-dropping to take over their little brothers' national defense affairs.

In Southeast Asia and the peninsula region, fortunately, there is a 'Republic' blocking in the middle, having some autonomy, and they can't bypass it even if they want to.

If there were no 'Republic' blocking.

The situation in these Southeast Asian countries would not be much better than in Europe; I'm afraid they would have been air-dropped advisory groups to directly clean up the interior of the country, all turning into satellite states.

It's just that these small countries cannot understand the various aspects of this.

After all, history is too short.

Just the calculations of the Soviet Federation, Blue Star players standing from the perspective of an outsider, looking at the entire "Earth," through the CG of the Polar Star,

And the information explained by major streamers.

Only then could the Blue Star players understand.

And placed in the local "Earth," even the U. S. Federation was calculated by the Soviet Union and fell into a trap without knowing it.

Let alone the small countries in Southeast Asia.

I'm afraid that the China-Vietnam incident on the 'Republic' timeline later on also had the shadow of the Soviet Union behind it; this method is truly too terrifying.

Blue Star players have no doubt.

Even if they had the intelligence and went to be high-level officials in some European or Southeast Asian countries, they would probably not be able to outplay the leaders on the "Soviet" side.

It's not just a matter of wisdom and methods.

Military force is the biggest problem.

No one can withstand the Soviet Federation flipping the table; whichever federation doesn't listen, they directly launch a cleaning skill, kill everyone first, and then air-drop an advisory group...

Yu Feng was explaining various intelligence.

On the other side.

Inside Fang Ming's livestream room.

He started with the identity of the Volunteer Army, and was currently hiding in an air-raid shelter on the north bank of the Linjinjiang, with U. S. Federation reconnaissance planes flying over the sky from time to time.

They simply didn't discover the Volunteer Army that was right under their noses.

At this time, in the region north of the 38th Parallel, the 'Republic' plus the local soldiers of the neighbor, nearly 310,000 troops were deployed, launching a full-scale attack.

Fighting had already started in some places, but Fang Ming hadn't received orders yet.

So he could rest for a while.

Plus, having finally randomly obtained the identity of the Volunteer Army, naturally, the longer he lived, the better.

Fang Ming pulled up the "map" in the livestream room.

Looking at the troop deployment on the other side, Fang Ming couldn't help but be happy:

"The U. S. Federation is indeed quite ruthless."

"They arranged all the puppet troops from the south on the first-line defensive position."

"This way, even if the Volunteer Army attacks."

"What is eliminated is also the puppet troops from the south, giving their own troops enough time to adjust."

In the livestream room, the danmu also drifted by one after another.

【6666, putting the southern puppet troops in front... this is afraid it will collapse a bit fast.】

【Indeed, just the combat effectiveness of the southern puppet troops.】

【The U. S. Federation commander considered preserving his own strength, but he didn't consider the combat effectiveness of the southern puppet troops... what combat effectiveness can the southern puppet troops have, who were pushed all the way to Fushan by the neighbor next door.】

【The neighbor next door pushed the southern puppet troops to Fushan, the U. S. Federation troops pushed the neighbor to the Yalujiang, and the 'Republic' pushed the U. S. Federation to the north of the 38th Parallel...:】

【Now the Volunteer Army is preparing to attack north of the 38th Parallel, and the defenders there are the southern puppet troops; the result doesn't even need to be thought about.】

In fact.

It was just as the danmu teased.

Placing all the troops of the southern puppet army on the first line to resist the Volunteer Army's attack can indeed preserve the combat effectiveness of the U. S. Federation and the coalition forces to the greatest extent.

It is also convenient to adjust tactics in time.

But they overestimated the combat effectiveness of the southern puppet army and underestimated their long-distance running ability.

Following the afternoon of December 31, 1950, the Volunteer Army launched a full-scale attack.

Fang Ming followed the team.

He livestreamed the entire process of the collapse of the southern puppet army on the other side, which was simply jaw-dropping.

The Volunteer Army launched a forced crossing of the Linjinjiang after sunset.

After crossing the Linjinjiang, it took less than 30 minutes to destroy the defensive hub of the southern puppet army located here at the Linjinjiang, and the puppet army fled in defeat.

Until before midnight.

The Volunteer Army troops pushed forward 5-10 kilometers along the entire line, completely tearing open the defensive line set up by the U. S. Federation south of the 38th Parallel, and all the southern puppet troops fled in defeat.

And this took less than 6 hours.

The speed of the collapse of the southern puppet army is rare even from WWI to WWII.

Even if the U. S. Federation's purpose in placing the southern puppet army on the first defensive line was to leave reaction time for their own troops, the southern puppet army ran too fast.

This left the U. S. Federation without time to adjust.

January 1, 1951.

The U. S. 24th Division, the British 29th Brigade, the U. S. 25th Division, and other troops located on the second defensive line fought in a hurry.

January 2, 1951.

The British 29th Brigade was defeated by the Volunteer Army troops, and at the same time, the U. S. Federation 24th Division, which was fleeing south, was also surrounded by the Volunteer Army; the puppet 1st Division and puppet 6th Division of the southern puppet army were completely annihilated.

【Division were completely annihilated.】

January 3, 1951.

Outside Hancheng.

Fang Ming followed the main force and had already arrived near Hancheng.

In the sky over Hancheng in the distance, thick black smoke was rising.

Scattered gunfire came from inside the city, but artillery was still bombarding outside the city from time to time.

Fang Ming used the zoom function of the livestream room to look at Hancheng in the distance.

He could vaguely see the chaotic scene inside the city.

Danmu drifted by in the livestream room.

【What's the situation, civil strife?】

【No, the U. S. Federation is about to run.】

【Are they not even going to fight?】

【Then what else is there to fight, they were defeated too fast, this is preparing to run.】

The main force of the U. S. Federation fled from Hancheng in a panic.

In the afternoon, explosions erupted everywhere in the city, and flames soared into the sky.

Fang Ming saw through the zoom function that the U. S. Federation was blowing up bridges, stations, and some buildings in the city, seemingly intending to leave only a ruin behind.

The Volunteer Army was on standby in the northern suburbs of Hancheng, looking at the city in the distance emitting thick smoke.

Everyone couldn't help but clench their fists, because these scenes were so similar to what the Republic had once encountered.

Dawn of the 4th.

The main force that received the order marched toward Hancheng.

Fang Ming followed the team, walked into the entrance of Hancheng, and there were no soldiers guarding it; the city was dead silent, the embers from last night were still emitting blue smoke, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunpowder, gasoline, and burnt things.

The battle he imagined did not happen.

The speed at which the U. S. Federation ran was not much slower than the southern puppet army, and they left nothing behind.

Broken walls and ruins could be seen everywhere.

Destroyed tanks, cars burnt to only skeletons, military supplies that were too late to be taken away, and soldiers' personal items were scattered all over the ground.

Many buildings were swallowed by fire, leaving only charred frames.

And at this time.

The entire front line had approached the 37th parallel north.

Because the advance was too fast.

The Volunteer Army's logistics and supplies could no longer keep up, and the U. S. Federation seemed to have discovered this problem and began to assemble heavy troops near the 37th parallel.
