Chapter 266: 【Blue Star Federation: How did this become a war of attrition?】(4k)

Looking at the Russian Federation 4th Guards Tank Division speeding on the map.

These high-level officials of the Free Star Cluster also couldn't help but admire.

Nothing else.

Because they are crossing the Chernobyl region.

And the nuclear leak event in the Chernobyl region was also made into a Polaris game plot CG before.

Regarding the intensity of the nuclear radiation there, Blue Star players had long known the detailed situation through popular science, not to mention the military high-level officials of the Free Star Cluster Federation.

So looking at them, clearly ordinary people, yet at one order, no one had any complaints.

Straight through the Chernobyl region.

How could such troops and execution not make people admire.

It's just that people in the plot don't know.

Still planning how to attack tomorrow, while the Russian Federation's reinforcements are rapidly crossing the Chernobyl region.

Although the night attack didn't stop.

But they never broke through the defense line of those VDV airborne troops.

The next day.

Free Star Cluster Federation Mobile Corps Commander Allison had just organized the attack for a while.

Boom—!

Boom—!

Suddenly, the airport surroundings were shelled.

The surrounding Free Star Cluster Federation soldiers were also startled; did the mechanized brigade bomb the wrong target?

Why hit their own people?

After a day and a night of attacking.

At this time, Antonov Airport had also retaken many buildings by the Ukraine Federation side, leaving only a portion of the remaining Russian Federation assault team members guarding the innermost buildings.

Allison rushed out of the temporary command post to see what was going on.

But seeing the scene.

It was a scene far more desperate than being accidentally injured by friendly forces.

On the horizon in the distance.

Densely packed tanks wrapped in thick smoke were rushing towards Antonov Airport, firing shells one after another, and the Ukraine Federation troops on the outskirts of the airport were almost all bombarded.

And the flags hanging on those tanks.

Obviously not the Ukraine Federation's.

Allison gasped:

"Hell?!"

"Did a tank division come?"

"How did they let them in?!"

Near the capital, Kiev, a tank division from the opposite side hit over.

Is this a bit too magical?

The opposite side has this power; Allison doesn't doubt at all that the opposite side will rush into the capital and fight over.

And their manpower and weapons and equipment here.

Obviously not enough to fight the opposite side.

The surrounding Ukraine Federation troops were also quickly organizing counterattacks.

But the military high-level officials of the Free Star Cluster Federation watching the battle situation in the plot outside shook their heads more and more.

After all, they are the elites of the Russian Federation.

Worthy of being troops that dare to cross the radiation zone.

Different from those before.

As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the high and low were judged.

Relying on tactical coordination and the mobility of tanks, after a brief exchange, the Russian Federation 4th Guards Tank Division broke the defense line of the Ukraine Federation troops.

Although they didn't continue to chase.

But the Ukraine Federation troops here were already preparing to retreat.

Can't fight.

Too many tanks.

They are all infantry, although they have heavy weapons.

But they can't fight tanks either.

Soon.

The Ukraine Federation troops withdrew.

And the Russian Federation 4th Guards Tank Division also retook Antonov Airport.

It's just that Antonov Airport at this time had already lost its value.

Because the runway was severely destroyed.

It could no longer take off or land large transport planes.

It could only be used as a temporary strategic point for defense and occupation.

Right.

It's occupation.

After the 4th Guards Tank Division took over Antonov Airport, they received the remaining 50 or so VDV airborne troops members, but did not withdraw.

Instead, they began to build fortifications and station around Antonov Airport.

This plot.

Made the military high-level officials of the Free Star Cluster Federation outside the plot unable to turn their brains.

Just stationed like this?

Different from what these Free Star Cluster Federation military high-level officials just discussed.

Some guessed they would continue to attack and raid Kiev.

After all, this is a whole tank division.

Just the armor and tanks stretched for more than ten kilometers.

Some guessed they would withdraw after receiving the remaining VDV airborne troops members, because their purpose was to rescue the 300 airborne soldiers who landed at Antonov Airport.

Among them.

Those who supported the first guess were the majority.

After all, this tank division's strength, still elite, and look at the situation of the Ukraine Federation around here, especially the support for an Antonov Airport actually took several hours.

The elites of this tank division are enough to kill a round trip in the capital, Kiev.

But everyone guessed wrong.

No one thought.

The Russian Federation 4th Guards Tank Division, after receiving the VDV airborne troops members, did not attack, nor did it withdraw, but chose to station at Antonov Airport.

Building defensive fortifications, repairing airport runways.

This...

As the 4th Guards Tank Division stationed at Antonov Airport.

The original offensive and defensive battle completely turned into a war of attrition.

It is just that because of the powerful firepower of the 4th Guards Division, other units of the Soviet Federation are unable to get close, as the 4th Guards Division repairs some airport runways.

Although large transport planes cannot take off or land.

But small ones are no problem, and there is no need to worry about the supplies for this entire division's strength.

The two sides have been pulling back and forth like this.

The high command of the Free Star Cluster Federation, watching from the outside, also didn't know what to say after watching for a few days.

Fighting to this extent.

The situation afterward is no longer important.

Because there is no tactic to speak of.

It is just a war of attrition.

However, the initial raid by the Soviet Federation is still worth analyzing; from the surprise attack on Antonov Airport to the successful control of the airport, the tactics up to this point were perfect.

If the subsequent transport fleet could have landed, the strategic goal of occupying a complete airport could have been achieved.

Especially an airport that can accommodate large transport planes.

It would allow the Russian Federation to transport troops continuously and attack the capital, Kiev, directly.

But the Russian Federation side was short-sighted in this step.

Because as the Soviet Federation reacted.

The deployment of ground air defense units and missile locks caused the subsequent support transport fleet to be unable to land, and even though they had already traveled 80% of the way, they were forced to turn back.

This left the 30 OVDV paratroopers who had made the surprise landing to occupy Antonov Airport as an isolated force.

Although they held out for one night.

And waited for the main force from the rear to cross the Chernobyl region to support them.

But this day of fierce fighting.

Had already destroyed most of the airport's runway, and large transport planes could no longer continue to land.

And since large transport planes could not land, it meant that troops and equipment could not be transported continuously, so even if the 4th Guards Division occupied Antonov Airport.

It was useless even if they repaired some runways to allow small transport planes to land.

Evacuation was only a matter of time.

After all, this is the outskirts of the Soviet Federation's capital; driving 10 kilometers gets you into the capital, and no matter how slow the reaction is, one cannot leave a tank division unattended near Kiev.

It's just that the war conflict in this 【2022】 is not going that smoothly.

It is clearly a modern war.

But under Zhao Ming's arrangement, the six major federations on the Blue Star side are all assigned to relatively difficult tug-of-war battlefields.

So these Blue Star soldiers feel that something is wrong after experiencing it for a few days.

Technology has advanced.

Equipment has improved.

But the war has not changed.

It seems no different from fighting in World War II; in the end, it becomes like 【Antonov Airport】, turning into a war of attrition where lives are thrown in.

This has refreshed some of the perceptions of the Blue Star's six major federations' military.

Because according to their assumptions.

With technology and weapons and equipment improved, the war should present a posture of rapid advancement and crushing force.

Because they had previously been playing the 【World War II】 series.

It didn't match the technology on the Blue Star side, so they had always been thinking about what would happen if a real fight broke out.

With the Blue Star's technology, it should present the expected appearance.

As a result, now that they are simulating it in the plot, they find that it is not the case.

Technology on Earth has progressed.

But the war has gradually turned into a war of attrition.

Everyone has nuclear weapons.

But no one dares to use them.

The Blue Star side is the same; the six major federations all have super-technology as a trump card, but unless absolutely necessary, it really cannot be used.

Once a conflict arises.

In the end, it still has to be fought on a small scale, like a small-scale war.

So the tactics, coordination, and other aspects they previously thought of using the 【World War II】 series to train soldiers for.

So that when they really fight in the future.

They can crush the opponent with overwhelming force.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Because as they fight.

It turns into the most primitive war of attrition.

To put it bluntly.

It still requires piling up lives.

This is different from the crushing, blitzkrieg-like way they imagined.

How could it turn into a war of attrition?

The high command of the six major federations all have some headaches.

Because it is not just fighting against NPCs that turns into a war of attrition; the Great Xia Federation and the Antarctic Star Cluster Federation also encountered this, and at first, they didn't know who the opponent was.

But after fighting for a period of time, the familiar tactical style was already guessed.

The opponent is from the Blue Star.

But despite having high-tech weapons, they also turned into a war of attrition as they fought.

Looking at the occupation and consumption within the plot.

Endless soldiers lying in virtual sensory cabins, replenishing the plot, watching their own soldiers die one after another.

The Blue Star's six major federations also came to their senses.

Although technology has advanced, technology is not omnipotent.

While offensive technology advances, defensive technology also advances, coupled with battlefield transparency and the existence of satellites and drones.

It is difficult to move silently without being discovered.

Coupled with the fact that war is essentially a struggle for territory, requiring infantry to advance meter by meter, technology can hardly significantly shorten the time.

So in the end.

For a piece of land or a house, soldiers still need to rush in to fight for it.

Isn't that just turning into a war of attrition?

Especially when the strength of both sides is close, a war of attrition becomes an inevitable situation.

Although technology can accelerate local combat.

It cannot eliminate the opponent's will to resist, so as long as someone is alive, someone will resist.

So it can only be done through constant consumption.

To see which side cannot hold on first.

The reason they fell into a cognitive trap is that they didn't consider this layer.

But now that there is an example here.

The high command of the six major federations gradually calmed down.

Because such a war had never happened before, even among the high command of the six major federations, there were very few pro-war factions.

But looking at 【2022】 in "Earth".

If substituted into the Blue Star... after thinking about it, they also couldn't bear such losses.

In this environment of the Blue Star.

If a real fight breaks out, mutual destruction is one thing.

If it were a tug-of-war like in the plot, thinking of the opposition within the federation, I'm afraid there would be no telling how much; just thinking about that scene makes the high command of the six major federations' scalps tingle.

It is still necessary to be anti-war and continue to carry forward the "Anti-War Competition".

At worst, if there is any conflict in the future.

Just set up a virtual map to fight.

Otherwise, to consume human lives and fight for territory so realistically.

No one can bear this responsibility.

Little did they know.

The Blue Star's six major federations still underestimated the subsequent plot development of 【2022】.

It's just that it has only just begun.

The ruthless part is still to come.

On the other side.

While the six major federations were fighting hard in the 【2022】 plot, the weekend had arrived again on the Blue Star side.

At this time.

In Yu Feng's livestream room.

Netizens waiting for the plot leaks were flooding the screen.

After several plot analyses and supplements from players, many Blue Star netizens had figured out the pattern, so they waited early in Yu Feng's livestream room.

Waiting for Yu Feng's leaks and situation analysis.

Then they would go to the Polar Star official website forum to watch other players in the dedicated areas constantly supplement Earth events.

Perfecting the worldview and background of "Earth".

Because with constant perfection, the data-rich "Earth" could already be normally simulated by the photonic supercomputer.

It's just that sometimes the results would be a far cry from the original plot.

Some supplemented the "Earth" data to after 1960 and started using the photonic supercomputer to simulate, and as a result, the nuclear war that didn't happen in the original plot broke out in the simulation.

And some, after supplementing the latest data, successfully predicted the development of the subsequent great power game through the photonic supercomputer's simulation.

It's just that there were still some errors compared to the original plot from Polar Star.

But it also brought great interest to Blue Star players.

Because they found that "Earthlings" always blow up the Earth...

So they constantly simulated to check various results.

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room were still discussing.

At this time.

Yu Feng also appeared in the livestream room on time, greeting the friends in the livestream room:

"Everyone, happy weekend."

"Today we are about to enter the 80s."

"The distance to the Soviet Federation's succession is also getting closer."

"Let's see what changes have happened on Earth in these short 5 years."

"Let's see what changes have happened on Earth."

The danmu in the livestream room was flooding the screen, and Yu Feng took out the data and said:

"Same old rules."

"First, talk about the changes in the Soviet Federation, then the American Federation, and finally the Republic."

"Last week, when we talked about 1975, the Soviet Federation's long-range power projection in Africa was very successful, and military spending accounted for 23% of GDP."

"It was already a peak military superpower."

"Let's look at 1976."

"In this year."

"The proxy war in Africa, because the Soviet Federation's long-range power projection was very successful, the civil wars in various African countries intensified."

"The Ethiopian Federation switched to the Soviet Federation and directly received $1 billion in military aid."

"Directly throwing money at it."
