Chapter 81: [Blitzing the Soviet] (3.8k)

The old hunter looked anxious and turned to look at Duan Yu:

"Little Olga, go quickly and notify the people in the village to hide."

"I'll stop them!"

Hearing this, Duan Yu was completely stunned:

"You'll stop them?"

You don't look like you can fight tanks either?

The old hunter had no time to pay attention to Duan Yu, dragged his injured leg, walked quickly into the wooden house, and rummaged for something. Duan Yu came back to his senses and ran toward the village.

After running less than a hundred meters, he faintly heard the old hunter's cursing from behind.

Bang!

A gunshot startled Duan Yu, and he turned back to look.

He was stunned.

He saw the old hunter's wooden house had already been ignited, with thick black smoke shooting straight into the sky.

The old hunter beside the wooden house, holding his worn-out old gun that he had used since participating in the First World War, aimed at the distant tank armored cluster.

Bang!

The old hunter fired another shot and cursed loudly, seemingly wanting to attract the attention of the Imperial tank cluster.

And the tank armored troops rushing from afar also discovered the abnormality here, slowed down, seemingly thinking about something.

But just a few seconds later, the dense tank armored troops continued to accelerate forward.

Seeing the Imperial tank armored troops accelerate and drive deep into the border.

The old hunter raised the gun in his hand, cursing, and was about to pull the trigger.

Boom—!!!

A tank shell directly hit the burning wooden house, the explosion spread, directly extinguishing the flames of the burning wooden house, and the old hunter's figure was instantly torn to pieces.

The huge tremor also startled Duan Yu back to his senses.

He never expected this game plot to be so outrageous. One second he was roasting a deer leg, the next second he was playing a life-and-death escape?

What the hell is this?

Seeing a tank break away from the team and charge toward him, Duan Yu couldn't care about anything else and scrambled toward the village.

A muffled sound.

The shell hadn't arrived, but the sound had already struck.

The next second.

The scorching heat wave of the shell passing through the air scraped past Duan Yu's ears, and his hair stood on end:

"Damn it!!!"

The huge impact exploded less than ten meters in front of him, and Duan Yu followed in the old hunter's footsteps, torn to pieces... The game screen went black, and he returned to the main interface.

And he wasn't the only streamer who encountered this.

Returning to Sky Shark Live, Gaming Section, in the "World War II: Rise of the Empire" category.

At this time, you could see many streamers who were live broadcasting suddenly look terrified, and then the screen went black, but they were almost all Soviet Federation players.

And there were also some players who were also Soviet Federation players, but nothing happened to them.

In "World War II: Rise of the Empire," this sudden scene directly exploded on the player forum, and many people had already been killed by the Imperial army.

At this time, clicking on any post asking what happened, they were all confused players.

【Holy crap? What the hell happened?】

【Why were so many people killed?】

【Game bug? Did the NPCs riot?】

【Damn it, how could such a thing happen.】

【Damn it! I was just trying to use flirting techniques to flirt with an NPC girl in the game, and a tank shell fell down.】

【Laughing to death, living and dying together, blessings.】

【Polar Star official website updated, go check it out!!!】

Hearing someone say this.

Players rushed to the Polar Star official website to see what happened.

Just entering the official website.

There was no update announcement, only a live map in the upper right corner. If you clicked to enlarge it, you would find the huge outline of the color representing the Empire.

It was penetrating deep into the Soviet Federation border.

And on the map, small dots were lighting up, then displaying player information, and the map at the lit-up dots gradually became clear in detail.

Soon, players realized that this was players submitting data one by one.

Then players uploaded their death locations and information to the Polar Star official website one after another.

As more and more information was submitted, a battle line stretching over two thousand kilometers from south to north, covering the entire junction between the Empire and the Soviet Union, gradually became clear on the map.

A chat function was also added to the live map.

In the chat room below, players looked at the map that was constantly changing slightly, shocked:

【"This battle line is too long, right? Can a blitzkrieg be played like this?"】

【"I'm still a bit confused. Blitzing such a large territory of the Soviet Federation, it's outrageous?!"】

【"The point isn't whether it's outrageous, but that they really broke in."】

【"The Soviet Federation hasn't organized an effective defense here yet, the Empire is pushing too fast."】

【"What about supplies for such a long battle line? Is the person who came up with this attack plan a genius or a madman..."】

【"All-out war, three main attack directions, this is to take out all the major cities of the Soviet Union in one go."】

【"By the way, how can there be no military experts to analyze this kind of war situation? @Shi Jun Military Talk"】

【"Laughing to death, this guy can't even beat an ordinary Imperial general, can he understand the map?"】

【"So, were all the people who died at the Soviet Federation border?"】

Players had already realized why so many people died.

It turned out they were all at the Soviet border, but it looks like... those inside are also coming soon, the Empire's pushing speed is too fast.

At this time.

Inside Polar Star Company.

【Emotional value +28419.】

【Emotional value +31812.】

【Emotional value +248....】

The Empire's sudden action generated a large amount of emotional value from the players.

Apparently, they were caught off guard.

And Zhao Ming updated the brief information of "Operation Barbarossa" on the official website.

【Operation Barbarossa】

【Operation Barbarossa was an invasion war launched by the Empire. Its goal was to quickly crush the Soviet Federation through blitzkrieg, occupy the vast territory from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, and seize the resource-rich Ukraine and Caucasus regions.】

【The Empire invested about 3.2 million troops, divided into three army groups (North, Center, South) attacking simultaneously, intending to capture Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev before winter.】

During this time, the plot timeline in the game gradually unified to one day, so when the proportion of immersive players was sufficient, Zhao Ming unlocked the progress.

And because they were all in a single immersive plot mode.

So even if he opened the real-time map, Zhao Ming didn't worry about changes in the game's plot.

In the "Eastern Front" of World War II, a single great battle could kill millions of people.

The role of a single person in the game is too small, so small that they can only go with the flow, and might even be blown up by Imperial shells before seeing the Imperial army.

They can't win, but the discussion about the Empire and the Soviet Federation will definitely not stop.

Now the player forum is all discussing the outcome of this war.

Because players are scattered everywhere in their respective immersive plots, almost everywhere there are people, so as long as someone dies somewhere, they upload information immediately.

Players can see the changes in the map.

At this time, the Soviet Federation's border defense line had been completely torn open.

That battle line stretching over two thousand kilometers made people's scalps tingle. How crazy must one be to formulate such a plan.

And it's not just players watching and analyzing.

Great Xia Federation.

Songor Icefield, 7th Special Operations Brigade.

Looking at the real-time map on the Polar Star official website and the Empire's combat plan, Shen Yan had Chief of Staff Qu Guang called over.

Qu Guang walked in:

"What's the situation, Old Shen."

Shen Yan turned the real-time map in the projection over:

"Take a look at this."

"With the Soviet Federation's vast territory, the Empire has stretched its battle line so long. Guess which side will win?"

This Empire is truly crazy, stretching the battle line for two thousand kilometers.

Qu Guang took a look and said:

"That depends on the Empire's logistics capability."

"If they can't break through the Soviet Federation in one go, according to the Empire's expansion speed, the subsequent supplies might not keep up."

"Did the game update again?"

Qu Guang looked over curiously.

Shen Yan shook his head:

"Not quite sure."

"This is something that suddenly became a hot topic online, I'm just following along."

Qu Guang rolled his eyes at Shen Yan:

"You'd better think about how to clear the 【Battle of Songgufeng】."

"Since it was unlocked a few days ago, not a single battalion has been able to hold out for 6 hours."

By gathering elite forces, they successfully completed the defensive mission in 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】, but the 【Battle of Songgufeng】

difficulty is simply not something a human can complete.

Shen Yan also had a toothache:

"The intensity of 【Battle of Songgufeng】 is too high."

"But we can't keep asking Zhao Ming for data to see how the Republic Volunteers fought it."

"Let's practice first."

"Didn't the 1st Special Battalion hold out for 5 hours and 13 minutes."

"I'll lead the team to practice during this time."

Qu Guang nodded upon seeing this, and then sat down to analyze the war situation with Shen Yan.

At this time.

Sky Shark Live, Gaming Section.

Someone is live broadcasting the battle against the Empire.

In the live broadcast room.

The time in the game has reached the second day of the Empire launching "Operation Barbarossa."

Brest Fortress.

The smoke of war in the fortress has not yet dissipated, and the roar of Stuka bombers has not gone far, but the Soviet soldiers lying on the ground quickly stood up.

They could already feel the trembling of the earth; it was the Empire's tank armor.

Duan Yu also followed and stood up.

He patted the dust off his body, looking melancholy.

This game is toxic; he gets blown up and has to restart.

As a result, he randomly appeared on the front line of the battlefield again. Is this intentional?

No time to think too much.

Duan Yu followed other soldiers and set an ambush. The sound of tank tracks outside was getting closer, seemingly about to enter the encirclement.

Suddenly!

A metal can was thrown in, and then pungent smoke emerged.

The soldiers nearby were choked and coughed continuously, directly exposing their position.

Duan Yu, who was in the back, cursed secretly upon seeing this:

"Damn it!"

"Is this toxic? Using all sorts of dirty tricks?!"

Seeing it was a poison gas bomb and there was nowhere to hide, Duan Yu could only stand up and run backward, but he hadn't run far.

Boom—!

A loud noise came from behind.

The wall where everyone was ambushing was directly blown to pieces by the shell, and the violent shock blast blew all the soldiers around to death with bleeding ears and noses.

Duan Yu rolled to the ground. The sound of tank tracks came from afar. Duan Yu immediately held his breath, not daring to stand up to look.

He just quietly curled up his body, wanting to hide under the stone slab as much as possible, while also putting some rubble in front.

In this environment.

Even knowing this is a game, Duan Yu couldn't help but have his heart pounding and his breathing quickening.

It's truly exciting.

The sound of tracks in his ears sometimes got louder, sometimes smaller, and there was the sound of dense motorcycles constantly driving past. Duan Yu just lay there without moving.

Until the sky gradually darkened.

Duan Yu quietly crawled out from under the stone slab.

What met his eyes was a ruin, completely different from when he had just respawned and arrived in the morning.

In the morning, it was still a complete fortress building, but at this time, he couldn't find anything similar to his memory.

He didn't know if anyone was still resisting, but the sound of gunfire coming from afar showed that the battle was still continuing.

Duan Yu picked up a gun and looked at the surrounding ruins with a trace of bewilderment.

In just half a day, everything was destroyed.

He shook his head, Duan Yu looked around, not knowing where to go.

This game doesn't have any hints.

Duan Yu stood in place and pondered for a moment, looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room.

Finally, he decided to walk toward the Soviet Federation. Mainly, going toward the Empire, isn't that just pure suicide?

Walking out of the broken fortress, the sunset sunlight shone down.

It brought a trace of warmth to Duan Yu's body, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face:

"Although this game is quite a pit, the scenery is really good."

"If I record this sunset and upload it to the Polar Star official website, do you think I can win..."

Click—!

A crisp sound came from underfoot.

Duan Yu had a face full of question marks. Just as he was about to look down, the landmine under his feet exploded.

The screen in the game instantly turned black due to the impact.

Inside the main interface.

The smile on Duan Yu's face hadn't faded yet, but now it was frozen, and then he gritted his teeth and said:

"This damn game... I don't believe it?!"

"Come again!!!"

Can I be that unlucky every time???

Re-entering the game to start.

This time it wasn't a war zone, but a city that hadn't experienced the flames of war. The construction in the city was magnificent, but the accent still sounded like it was from the Soviet Federation:

"This start is not bad."

However.

The barrage in the live broadcast room had already started to remind him.

【Not bad my ass, run quickly.】

【You are in Kiev... right in the middle of the Empire's attack route.】
