Chapter 84: [Battle of Songgufeng] (3.5k, thanks to sfqk for the alliance leader
Such a miserable and embarrassing scene almost laughed Shen Yan to death.
Staff Qu Guang also showed a smile, his tone somewhat emotional:
"Not everyone brushes it casually like us. Speaking of which... having someone is different."
"If we encounter 【White Death】 during the live broadcast..."
Other Federations encounter 【White Death】 and are caught off guard, only to be abused.
They are here because they have the key, so they simply treat 【White Death】 as a training ground. After practicing for so long, the individual combat quality has almost doubled.
This treatment is not something other Federations can compare to.
If they encounter the 【White Death】 dungeon during the live broadcast, it definitely won't look that ugly, and it's not impossible to counter-kill. At least in training, they succeeded many times.
By the time they compare, they will take off directly.
Shen Yan nodded.
But Shen Yan is no longer interested in 【White Death】. Now his main energy is focused on 【Battle of Songgufeng】.
He originally wanted to lead people to clear it himself, but now the order from above has come down.
Shen Yan pondered and decided to experience it with the Republic Volunteers first, and see what they are missing before the live broadcast, because there is no other way in this battlefield situation except to hold on hard.
And all the data of the Republic Volunteers given by Polar Star are the most real human data. No matter how the photonic supercomputer analyzes it, they are ordinary humans.
But why could the Republic Volunteers hold on, while they couldn't?
What exactly is the difference?
Shen Yan pondered, watched the live broadcast for a while, and said to Staff Qu Guang:
"You take the 2nd Special Battalion to start the live broadcast first."
"I'll have Polar Star open the data for 【Battle of Songgufeng】, and I'll come to swap with you in the evening."
?
Staff Qu Guang had no objection:
"Okay."
"But don't you want to rest?"
Shen Yan shook his head:
"If I don't clear 【Battle of Songgufeng】, I can't sleep."
On the other side.
Polar Star Game Company.
Zhao Ming is also watching Sky Shark Live.
He didn't expect the major Federations to intervene officially.
Mainly looking at the promotion time order of the "Anti-War Competition" official, it wasn't their turn yet, but because the Antarctic Star Federation's official account live broadcast, the popularity exploded directly.
The recommendation hasn't started yet, but the game has already exploded.
In just one morning.
More than four million accounts were added, and this number is still growing. It is estimated that it will break ten million by the evening.
Even Shen Qinghan was alarmed and hurriedly mobilized all resources, changing all servers and equipment to the top-tier ones in two hours.
Now the server can accommodate eighty million people without any problems.
Although Zhao Ming thinks it's too much, after all, the highest online number of "Earth" games isn't that high.
But thinking about Blue Star's land area and world population.
Both are far beyond "Earth," eighty million... seems reasonable.
Zhao Ming opened the official website and looked at the real-time map.
At this time, it is about to surround Kiev, triggering the 【Battle of Kiev】, the largest encirclement battle in Earth's history, followed by 【Battle of Leningrad】, 【Battle of Moscow】, and 【Battle of Stalingrad】.
These battles, except for the 【Battle of Kiev】.
Are all battles with quite long time spans. If you want to make them into national war dungeons, you can only pick a time period and make it into a dungeon for players to enter and experience.
After all, just like the 【Battle of Leningrad】, the siege lasted for 872 days, causing millions of casualties, but many of them starved to death.
You can't let players starve inside for 872 days... 【Battle of Moscow】 and 【Battle of Stalingrad】 are the same, needing to pick a time point to make into a dungeon.
It's just that there are too many time points, and Zhao Ming hasn't picked them yet, or... making multiple dungeons at different time nodes seems okay.
Just thinking about it.
Zhao Ming received a message from Shen Qinghan. Zhao Ming took a look, opened the database for 【Battle of Songgufeng】, and then notified Shen Qinghan.
Then he called up the database for 【Battle of Songgufeng】, somewhat surprised:
"Already held out for 5 hours and 17 minutes, huh."
But thinking about it, it's reasonable.
The 7th Special Operations Brigade, no matter what, carries the words Special Operations, and is the elite of the Northern Land Army. Combat effectiveness is definitely not a problem.
If there is any difference from the Republic Volunteers... perhaps only willpower or belief.
Noon.
Shen Yan, who had just rested for half an hour and had a meal.
Led the soldiers of the 1st Special Battalion into the room for 【Battle of Songgufeng】, then entered the key and chose to start.
The screen gradually turned black, then lit up.
The familiar defensive position met his eyes, and the words 【Battle of Songgufeng】 lit up before his eyes, then slowly dissipated.
Shen Yan just wanted to speak, but was a bit stunned, because there were only ten people beside him, and the others were Republic Volunteers.
"Where are the others?"
What Shen Yan and the others didn't know was that due to the population limit of 【Battle of Songgufeng】, the other 140 soldiers were all in groups of 10, starting in new 【Battle of Songgufeng】 instances following the Republic Volunteers.
And the voice of the Republic Volunteer soldier suddenly sounded beside him:
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
"Absolutely cannot let these foreign devils pass!"
Shen Yan immediately entered combat state.
After so many battles, he was basically familiar with the US military's routes and ideas on the opposite side.
Because Samsori couldn't be attacked, the US military wanted to retreat from Longyuanli and head toward Longyuanli, so they had to pass through this must-pass place, Songgufeng.
They must block the US military here firmly, so that the Republic Volunteer troops on the outer circle have time to implement the encirclement and annihilate these US troops here.
Shen Yan soon arrived at the predetermined position, holding his breath and looking at the corner of the road below.
Bang—!
Accompanied by a gunshot:
"Fire!!!"
Shen Yan and others scattered on the small hill began to attack the US vanguard troops below.
For a time, the sound of gunfire was endless, and the US military, who hadn't reacted, had their vanguard vehicles surrounded at once, but the tanks in the rear had already turned their turrets.
Aimed at the hillside above.
And the demolition squad soldiers of the Republic Volunteers ambushed below had already quietly touched the rear of the tanks.
Taking advantage of the turret aiming at the hillside, they successfully blew them up and paralyzed them.
But this... was just the beginning.
There were still more than five long hours behind.
2nd hour.
After repelling the US military's attack several times, the US military had already begun to adjust its strategy.
First, they used artillery fire to cover the entire defensive position, then ordered the tank troops to surround and shell the position, and then the infantry began to touch the hillside.
The 10 people Shen Yan brought, because of the shelling, gradually dispersed into the 7th, 8th, and 9th squads, blocking the enemy from three directions together with the Republic Volunteers.
They repelled five small-scale charges in a row, seeing that the enemy had already retreated.
The Republic Volunteers hurriedly dug trenches while taking advantage of the air raid, but the US bombers in the sky had already flown over their heads.
The bombing, which lasted for more than twenty minutes, shaved off at least half an inch of the ground.
When the air raid ended, Shen Yan shook the dust off his body and stood up.
In the sky.
Suddenly came the whistling sound of artillery shells.
Boom—!!!
The shock wave of the explosion spread in the center of the small hill. Shen Yan, who had just stood up, and two volunteer soldiers were directly blown away by the bomb.
"Those foreign devils are charging up again!"
"Quick!"
"Hand grenades!!!"
Shen Yan shook the dust off his body, his ears buzzing, picked up the rifle in his hand, and began to point-shoot at the US military charging down the mountain.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Almost every shot would take a head, but there were too many US troops on the opposite side. Just the vanguard alone had two thousand people... The battle lasted for more than an hour before repelling the US military's attack.
However, Shen Yan's heart became colder and colder.
4th hour.
Shen Yan moved his body, hiding behind the cover.
The entire hillside had been plowed countless times by artillery shells, and there were dense shell craters everywhere. Shen Yan suddenly thought inexplicably:
"Damn it..."
"No need to dig trenches anymore."
Some deep shell craters were enough to bury a person.
Shen Yan took advantage of the short air raid break to observe the situation of the Republic Volunteers around him, and his heart sank. More than half had been lost.
This casualty seemed to be no different from the 7th Brigade under his command.
But there were still more than two hours... Shen Yan took a deep breath, shook his head, and prepared to fight with a calm mind.
At this time.
The roar of airplanes in the sky sounded again, Shen Yan cursed secretly:
"Damn it!"
He hurriedly hid in the trench. The bombers in the sky dropped bombs, and this time there were many incendiary bombs.
The bombing lasted for more than ten minutes.
The entire 3rd Company defensive position turned into a sea of fire.
5th hour.
The shelling finally stopped.
There was only the crackling sound of burning on the entire hillside, twisted gun barrels, charred corpses, and pitch-black thick smoke billowing toward the sky, obscuring the sunlight.
There were corpses everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
Thump!
A US soldier's corpse was pushed away. Shen Yan stretched out his hand, trembling, trying to prop up his body, struggling to stand up several times without success.
At this time.
His body was suddenly pulled, and a somewhat immature voice sounded in his ear:
"Are you okay? Get up quickly."
Then he helped Shen Yan up. Shen Yan turned to look; it was a Republic Volunteer soldier, but the combination with that immature voice made Shen Yan somewhat surprised.
After propping up his body and sitting well, before he could ask, he saw the little Republic Volunteer soldier hand over half a piece of cake:
"Eat quickly."
"Eat your fill so you can fight those foreign devils."
A smile appeared on Shen Yan's face:
"Thank you."
Shen Yan took the cake and took a bite, then looked at the surrounding defensive position. Can this really hold for another hour?
At this time.
Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Yan looked at the little Republic Volunteer soldier and asked:
"Little brother, how old are you?"
The little soldier was wrapping a bandage around his leg. Hearing Shen Yan's question, he looked up and said:
"I'm 17."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes:
"So young?"
On the Blue Star side, there are no children of this age in the army.
At this time, they would still be in the Federation's compulsory education school, not to mention that no parents would be willing to let such a young child enter the army.
The little soldier smiled:
"Not small anymore, I can even get married."
Hearing this, Shen Yan was also amused:
"Do you have anyone you like? How is it going?"
The little soldier said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Not yet."
"Wait until we finish fighting the American devils. Otherwise, even if I get married, I won't have peace."
Shen Yan didn't understand. What does fighting these American... devils have to do with getting married? He couldn't help but ask:
"Fighting these American... devils? What does it have to do with getting married?"
The little soldier said:
"Our 3rd Company said, if we don't fight this war, our descendants will have to fight it."
"Thinking about it, it makes sense."
"We can't get married, have children, and after finally raising them up, when we look forward to them getting married and having children and holding grandchildren, the foreign devils will come again, letting the children go to the battlefield."
"We have all had enough of this rot, we can't let our descendants suffer this rot again."
"Only by winning can we live a stable life, farm, get married, and have children."
Listening to the little soldier's words, Shen Yan seemed to have realized something, opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
But when the words reached his lips, he didn't know what to say, only that sentence kept echoing in his mind.
If we don't fight this war, our descendants will have to fight it...
Shen Yan seemed to sense the peace that Blue Star had enjoyed for a long time, making them different from these Republic Volunteers.
At this time.
The roar of the bombers in the sky sounded again.
