Chapter 239: 【The Devil's Naive 'Cage Policy'】 (4k)

With the signal flare rising, all the troops ambushed near Niangziguan acted.

Yu Feng followed the team.

His mission was to bury explosives into the devils' railway and destroy the connection of the railway. Gunfire erupted at Niangziguan.

The surrounding covering troops and attacking troops opened fire at the same time.

The defending Japanese devils hid behind bunkers, holding machine guns and sweeping, and for a while, they didn't find the Red Army squad sneaking toward the railway bridge.

And at the head of the railway bridge, there were also devils' pillboxes.

After hearing the gunfire, most of the devils at the bridgehead had already run out.

Before they could react, they were shot by the covering troops.

The machine gun at the bridgehead pillbox also began to emit fire.

The Red Army had several times more people than the devils, but their weapons were backward. Although they had the upper hand for a while, it was still troublesome to occupy it quickly.

Yu Feng looked at the distance between himself and the bridgehead pillbox.

As a top sniper in FPS games, he was sure with just one glance.

Picked up his rifle, quickly loaded, and aimed.

The Mobile Corps Commander members next to him had just raised their guns and wanted to shoot.

"Bang!"

A gunshot, the machine gun at the devil's pillbox stopped abruptly,

Just when everyone was surprised.

Yu Feng quickly loaded again, and the machine gun in the pillbox that had just stopped firing started again, but it only rang for a second.

"Bang!"

Another devil who wanted to control the machine gun fell.

The devils in this pillbox also reacted that there was a sniper opposite.

And with the machine gun fire at the pillbox stopping.

The surrounding covering troops began to concentrate on attacking the devil defenders at the pillbox, and Yu Feng also followed others, lowered his body, and quickly rushed toward the railway bridge.

There were only a few hundred Japanese devil defenders at Niangziguan.

But Niangziguan here, as an important throat, is now under attack, and the devils in the surrounding stations must also know.

Maybe they are getting on the train and rushing here now.

So the railway bridge must be blown up, the earlier it is blown up, the more at ease.

Especially now that it is dark.

If the devils didn't brake, it would be even better if they derailed.

Yu Feng took the explosives, followed the team, and rushed to within tens of meters of the bridgehead before the defending devils discovered this surprise attack from the side.

But it was already too late.

Threw all the few hand grenades, flying toward the devils' bridgehead works.

Those who can come to perform the surprise attack mission naturally have something special. In order not to waste these hand grenades, the ones selected are all those who can throw far.

As the hand grenades fell, there was a roar of explosion at the devils' bridgehead works.

And Yu Feng and others also took this opportunity to rush to the front of the works, and began to shoot at the Japanese devils who wanted to fight back.

It's just that the devils' resistance was also exceptionally firm.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A roar of explosion came from the side, and a heat wave swept out.

The soldiers who rushed from that side had already fallen, and the devils behind the works were also blown to pieces.

The spread of the explosion made the battlefield silent for a moment.

Yu Feng reacted quickly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Shot at the devils who were also stunned by the explosion.

Until the clouds in the sky gradually covered the moon.

The bridgehead was pitch black.

The tragic slaughter had just ended, but there was no time to collect the remains. Everyone quickly rushed to the railway bridge and followed the movements they had practiced several times in advance.

Dug under the rails and stuffed the explosives in.

Then everyone lit the explosives and quickly evacuated here.

The explosives on the railway bridge were flashing with star-like sparks.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

A series of explosions rose.

And the rails connecting the devils' stations also shattered in a series of explosions, and the bridge collapsed.

On the other side.

The battle at Niangziguan also reached the most critical moment.

The destruction of the railway bridge was naturally seen by the defending devils, who were anxious, but the roaring explosion hadn't stopped yet.

The rails on the east and west sides also exploded with a bang.

Fire soared into the sky.

Further away.

"Boom!!!"

The same fire soaring into the sky made the Japanese devil defenders at Niangziguan feel completely cold.

It wasn't just one railway that was blown up.

The rails on the east and west sides were attacked at the same time, and there were no less than three or four places with fire from the explosion alone.

Just here.

A complete railway line was cut into several sections. Wanting to wait for support was already impossible.

The devils at Niangziguan erupted with the last madness.

Fought and shot regardless of everything.

Yu Feng finished the mission and came back to help the attacking troops, and also felt that the devils here were different, shooting while saying to the Blue Star netizens in the live stream:

"Devils and devils are different."

"The devils at Niangziguan and Jingxing Coal Mine are only one station apart, but the degree of resistance is too different."

"Before in my 【Single Player Plot】 mode."

"When attacking Jingxing Coal Mine."

"There was only one company there."

"And a bunch of puppet troops, the front was very smooth, only when fighting to the end, those Japanese devils held the pillbox and resisted for a while."

"The combat quality is far from as strong as the devils here."

"Is it because there is more oil and water there?"

Yu Feng said while shooting. The devils at Niangziguan were already the last madness. Under the surprise attack of the Red Army from all directions, there were fewer and fewer resisting devils, and basically they were all killed.

Yu Feng cut out to watch the situation in other live streams.

At this time.

On the entire Zhengtai Railway line.

There were figures of Red side troops everywhere, with clear division of labor. Except for some devil stations, the rest were all destroying the railway line.

Even in one of the live streams furthest on this line, you could see the Japanese devils who came to support jumping off the train, looking at the rails and roaring in rage.

The devils wanted to organize running to go, but there were also Red side blocking points along the way.

The battle lasted until dawn.

Niangziguan was occupied by the Red side, the Jingxing Coal Mine where Japan obtained oil refining was occupied by the Red side, and the railway lines along the way were all destroyed.

Even if the devils wanted to repair it, it was not something that could be completed in a short time.

The plot in the game is advancing steadily.

On the other side.

Jingxing Coal Mine here.

In addition to the captured weapons and supplies, many facilities were also destroyed, and tens of thousands of laborers were rescued.

It's just that after Japan realized it couldn't provide support.

Clearly, they also thought of the situation at Jingxing Coal Mine at this time, fearing that nothing would be left, so on the second day of occupying Jingxing Coal Mine.

Japan dispatched a large number of bombers.

Started all-round bombing of Jingxing Coal Mine, seemingly wanting to bury the Red side's troops and the coal mine together.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

In streamer He Hao's live stream, he was hiding in the pit of the coal mine, avoiding the Japanese army's bombing.

"Boom!!!"

A shaking of the earth and mountains.

He Hao patted the soil on his head and couldn't help but curse:

"Really crazy."

"Damn."

"This is not even wanting the coal mine."

The coal mine outside had already turned into a sea of fire under the bombing.

And it didn't seem to intend to stop.

All the facilities that the Red Army hadn't had time to destroy were all wiped out under the assist of the little devils, and most of them were destroyed by themselves.

This place is no longer suitable for staying.

Taking advantage of the interval of the little devils' planes, the Red side began to organize personnel to evacuate the coal mine.

He Hao didn't choose to escort the laborers and people away, but followed other soldiers, turned into small squads, and brought enough explosives.

According to the mission assigned in advance.

Started blasting along the railway line.

Not only the Zhengtai Railway line, but also the Pinghan Railway and Tongpu Railway were destroyed

The Japanese army began to contract their defensive lines here,

while the Blue Star players within the game forum were incredibly excited.

Because of the high number of participants this time, and the fact that squads could encounter players, the Japanese retreat and defense were seen by the Blue Star players as a victory for their own side.

They also played a significant role.

After all, they had previously been chased around by these troops in "Earth," and this time, under the command of the Red side, they finally achieved victory.

Inside Polestar Game Company.

In the CEO's office.

Zhao Ming was browsing the discussions on the game forum.

After all, with Blue Star players participating, this hard-won victory was unlike those like Stalingrad, where they were repeatedly crushed by the Empire hundreds of times before holding out until the Soviet counterattack.

This victory was achieved under the command of the Red side, using a surprise attack to rapidly destroy the Japanese devils' defensive lines.

It forced the Japanese devils to retreat and enter a defensive state.

However, although the devils would soon organize "Three Alls" mopping-up operations, they were completely helpless against the Red side, which had also turned to Mobile Corps Commander warfare.

This also indirectly showed that the devils had an insufficient understanding of the "vast territory and abundant resources" of Huaxia.

Perhaps because they were an island nation, the devils seemed to have no concept of vast territory.

They had no idea that this so-called cage policy, while seemingly perfect, was actually supported by a number of people far too small to sustain it.

This was also why, by the end of the fighting, even as a powerful empire, they were exhausted and out of ammunition.

And on the Japanese side.

The width of their country from east to west is only about 300 kilometers on average, while this Zhengtai Railway, the key to Japan's implementation of the "cage" policy,

has a total length of 243 kilometers.

If moved to their Japanese homeland, it would almost span from east to west.

And this was only one segment of the cage policy.

The entire blockade line of the cage policy was about 12,000 kilometers long. According to Japan's plan, they would build roads and bunkers every 10 kilometers or so to form a linked defense system.

They deployed dense strongholds, turning this 12,000-kilometer-long blockade line into a chain to tightly lock down the North China region.

This was 12,000 kilometers.

One-fourth of the circumference of "Earth."

One dare not imagine how Japan came up with the idea to implement this plan.

This plan and policy looked very powerful.

But after deep thought, one would find that such a massive project, with the labor force of this era, would not be an easy task to complete fully.

Not to mention that the gaps between these strongholds and bunkers were so large.

With 10-kilometer gaps, even with 24-hour patrols, there would always be times when things were missed.

So, facing the Red side's surprise attack, even if the Japanese army reacted in time, they were helpless against the destroyed railway; the distance was simply too long.

Repairing the entire Zhengtai Railway was equivalent to repairing a railway line spanning Japan from east to west.

Within Japan, it might be manageable by mobilizing the whole nation's strength.

But this was the land of Huaxia, filled everywhere with the Red side's base areas, troops, and Mobile Corps Commander units.

Trying to repair this railway under such circumstances was almost impossible.

But if it wasn't repaired, this breach could not be plugged.

Then the "cage policy" that had been implemented for so long would directly become a joke.

They had been building it for several years.

And yet it was shattered by one wave of surprise attacks from the Red side; there was simply no way to explain this situation to the high command in Japan.

That is why the Japanese side, after retreating and entering a defensive state, quickly organized troops to conduct "Three Alls" mopping-up operations, because there was no other way.

Only by conducting mopping-up operations and eliminating the Red side's Mobile Corps Commander units as much as possible could they hope to recapture the Zhengtai Railway line.

But mopping up on this "vast and resource-rich" land of Huaxia... they would likely die of exhaustion before searching every corner, not to mention that the Red side's troops had all broken down into small units.

Hundreds of thousands of people were fighting a Mobile Corps Commander war against the Japanese devils' mopping-up troops.

It would be a miracle if the Japanese devils could mop them all up.

To put it bluntly.

It was still the small nation's lack of concept regarding the vastness of Huaxia... just like the time on the neighboring peninsula.

When some Blue Star players were collecting spoils of war, they discovered that some local maps of the peninsula were actually two or three times larger than Huaxia. If they were to attack the land of Huaxia from the peninsula, they would have to land at the ports in Guangdong and Guangxi.

After the Blue Star players who collected the spoils uploaded the map, many Blue Star players were stunned. Wasn't this peninsula below the Northeast of the Republic?

How could entering the Republic require going through the ports in Guangdong and Guangxi?

Not only that.

After a reminder from some players, that Blue Star player who discovered the map at the headquarters actually found some operational plans for attacking the Republic in a "dream."

And what was even more absurd was that it was written according to the scale of the map.

The first step was to set out from the south of the peninsula together with the powerful naval fleet of the American Federation to attack and directly insert into the ports of Guangdong and Guangxi in the south of the Republic.

Directly inserting into Guangdong and Guangxi from the south of the peninsula... if the Blue Star players hadn't seen a world map, they would have believed it.

Could they really do that?

And the plan was very detailed, even describing the scenes and planning after occupying the Republic, which was not much different from what the "cage policy" was thinking at the moment.

The puppet troops in the small nation to the south could not imagine the vastness of Huaxia at all, and the same was true for Japan.

And the last page of the operational plan captured at the puppet army headquarters in the south contained some angry English annotations, clearly showing that the American Federation officers who had seen this plan thought the southern puppet army was crazy.

With this few people, they wanted to attack the Republic, and they wanted to attack from Guangxi and Guangdong?

Did they have no common sense at all?

Had the people on the southern peninsula never seen a world map?

Perhaps it was a language barrier.

The end was full of English cursing from the American Federation side, expressing disbelief and feeling like an idiot for having so solemnly come to look at such a psychotic plan.

By the time it was finished, the paper had been torn, leaving this operational plan missing a corner.
