Chapter 68: [Blitz on Poland] Real-time Map
Fang Ming couldn't help but curse, what the hell is this?!
However.
Hearing the orders of the NPC soldiers, some players excitedly took shovels and ran to dig trenches.
Seeing this, Fang Ming's mouth twitched. Have these young masters never done any work?
Digging trenches makes them this happy?
However, as a portion of the players and NPCs were walking towards the designated direction.
Fang Ming looked down at the shovel in his hand.
Fine... let's dig.
Carrying the shovel, he walked towards the direction the NPC pointed. Looking at the sun in the sky, it was probably afternoon. The Empire launched the attack at dawn, which means there is at least ten hours of preparation time.
In the stream.
The viewers in the stream fully exerted their fun-loving attributes, cheering Fang Ming on, telling him to work hard, as he was the first line of defense against the Empire. Fang Ming looked at the barrage, cursing while digging the trench.
【Emotional Value +2741】
【Emotional Value +1872】
【Emotional Value +....】
Zhao Ming kept receiving notifications of emotional value. Obviously, the players who entered the game first were already confused.
In the game section of Tian Sha Live, at least 70% of the streamers were in the state of common soldiers, and a small portion were randomly assigned as company commanders who could command a company because they had the rank of second lieutenant.
In Zhao Ming's Federation Headline account, comments were also constant.
【Laughing to death, fortunately I'm at work, otherwise I would have run to be a common soldier too.】
【I knew this dog thing had no good intentions, sure enough.】
【This guy is really malicious, even being Prime Minister can't beat the Empire, let alone being a common soldier.】
【Fortunately, I kept an eye on it and watched those streamers' streams, otherwise I would have really been pitted.】
【Brothers, some streamers have already discovered the vehicles, it's a damn warhorse?!】
【Riding a horse to charge at a tank???】
【Damn, you could at least open up tanks for us?】
Regarding Zhao Ming's character, many players remained skeptical. After all, for a guy who hadn't even shown his face, one could expect how much integrity he had.
Now seeing other players and streamers go in to be common soldiers, many players had an "as expected" look.
This dog thief...
Just as many players were complaining.
On the official website of Polar Star Game, a live streaming module was suddenly opened, and it was linked to Tian Sha Live, pinned to the top of the game section of Tian Sha Live.
On the left side of the official website page were 【National War】, 【Troop Strength】, 【Deployment】. Clicking on them allowed viewing the troop layout of both sides, as well as the original attack plan.
And on the right side, a dynamic map with the Empire and the Polish border each occupying half appeared in the center of the screen.
Every circle and number on both sides represented a unit of both sides.
These circles and numbers were not fixed on the map, but were moving slowly. The circles on the Empire's side were constantly moving towards the Polish border. Although Poland had some movements.
But it was not as fast as the Empire.
At this time.
A prompt popped up in the stream.
【Click on the army name to view the current army personnel and configuration.】
【Double-click to view the battlefield bird's-eye view.】
Seeing this, many players already understood that this was a real-time map.
This aroused the curiosity of many players.
Compared to the confusion of collapsing inside the Prime Minister's office, this real-time map could better understand how the Empire blitzed through Poland.
After all, the map in the Prime Minister's office at the beginning didn't move.
In Fang Ming's stream.
Sitting by the trench he had just dug a bit, his consciousness entered the stream, pulled up the Polar Star official website's live stream, and placed it on the other half of the stream.
Then he started trying to click on the circle with the army code 【25】 on the map, and an introduction popped up immediately.
【25th Infantry Division】
【Troops: 29th, 56th, 60th Infantry Regiments, 25th Artillery Regiment (no artillery equipped)...】
【Troop Strength: 16,824 people (2,274 players)】
【Affiliation: Poznan Army Group】
【Commander: Shi Jun】
"Me???"
Not only was there an introduction, but also how many players were in this division, and it was commanded by Shi Jun?
Fang Ming double-clicked to zoom in on the infantry division.
Suddenly, from a bird's-eye view of a hundred meters, he looked at the army slowly marching below. Although it looked very small, he could clearly see its direction of advance, moving north to converge.
Fang Ming zoomed out, then clicked on the circle with the code 【4】 in the north.
【4th Infantry Division】
【Troops: 57th, 58th Infantry Regiments, 14th Artillery Regiment, Machine Gun Company, Motorized Anti-Aircraft Company...】
【Troop Strength: 14,824 people (3,274 players)】
【Affiliation: Poznan Army Group】
【Commander: Shi Jun】
Fang Ming clicked again, zooming in on the screen.
A bird's-eye view from a hundred meters appeared, and then... he saw a large group of people distributed everywhere, digging trenches with effort.
The stream was filled with laughter.
【Streamer, don't just sit there, hurry up and move a few times, supervise yourself.】
【Laughing to death, is the bird's-eye view that fun?】
【Six, so this guy Shi Jun commands two divisions?】
【More than two, I checked. Besides the one the streamer is in, the 【17th】 and 【26th】 Infantry Divisions nearby, as well as two cavalry brigades and two light tank companies, are all commanded by Shi Jun. Look, they are all gathering towards the 【4th】 Infantry Division here.】
【Total troop strength is over 70,000, and players account for over 10,000.】
【I thought it was just the few people at the start of the stream. If there are over 70,000 people, that's fine. I don't know if they can block the Empire.】
Can they block the Empire?
Looking at the barrage in the stream, Fang Ming's mouth twitched. He switched the perspective back. In his ears came the discussion of several players, one of whom should be a fan of Shi Jun, explaining:
"I heard from Big Brother Shi Jun and other experts in the group before."
"As long as you dig deep and wide enough, you can bury all the Empire's tanks here."
Then he used the shovel in his hand to poke into the loose soil under his feet:
"Dig another half meter, and it will definitely make the Empire's tanks fall in and not be able to crawl out."
"The essence of Blitzkrieg is speed. Now that the tanks are stuck, are the motorized infantry behind going to charge with machine guns?"
A player next to him also nodded:
"That's true."
"I played other games before, also war-themed."
"In there, tanks fall into pits."
"Basically, they get stuck and can't move at all."
The player next to him said:
"Definitely, the Empire's tanks are only that high."
"Falling into a pit of more than a meter, two-thirds of it is gone, it definitely can't crawl out."
Listening to their discussion, Fang Ming didn't understand, but he understood the Empire.
With the performance of the Imperial generals in the plot, they wouldn't be stumped by such trenches, right?
However, they should still have preparation time here.
Because it's not the edge of the border.
So when the Empire attacks, it will still take a few days. But thinking more is useless. Looking down at the shovel in his hand, Fang Ming sighed.
Let's dig.
As time passed bit by bit, night fell in the game.
But no one rested, everyone was digging trenches, and the Empire's troops had all arrived at the border.
Dawn in the game.
The Empire's army began to cross the border line. This time, with preparation and reminders from some players, the Polish planes were not all destroyed, but the number remaining was limited.
And at the border, the Polish Federation troops had already collided with the Empire's army.
Players were no longer complaining about Zhao Ming pitting them, but were all staring at the movements of the Empire and Polish armies in the game stream.
From time to time, they zoomed in on a certain place to watch from a bird's-eye view.
In the Polar Star Game official website stream.
At the very bottom of the real-time map, the southern region.
This is where players' eyes were gathered the most.
After the Empire's army crossed the Polish border, the speed obviously accelerated. Obviously, they had started to use 【Blitzkrieg】 to advance rapidly.
But... unlike the straight-line advance during the 【Battle of France】.
After advancing rapidly from both sides to Poland.
Several Imperial units began to gather at one point, splitting and surrounding the resisting Polish army. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
