We promised to develop a game called Candy Crush, what the hell is the Third Reich?

Chapter 215 [Incheon Landing] Blue Star Player: Zhao the Old Thief, I'm a CN (4.4k)

Just as the story begins, while it's still loading...

A deep, middle-aged male voice suddenly appeared in the background: "What? Broken bowl?"

Everyone entered the game with bewildered expressions.

As the screen lights up, a port area of ​​an island comes into view.

Fang Ming and Yu Feng looked around and found that the soldiers around them, who were wearing the same clothes as them, were also in a state of confusion.

Fang Ming tried to say hello, and then discovered that he was also a Blue Star player.

Moreover, as more and more people enter the game.

Fang Ming and Yu Feng discovered that the entire port's garrison was composed entirely of Earth players; there wasn't a single local NPC.

what's the situation?
This is the first time I've encountered a battlefield scenario like this.

Previous multiplayer nation war instances such as the Battle of Britain and the Battle of Stalingrad also mainly featured military NPCs, with only a small number of players from Earth.

Now, they've replaced all the NPC guards with players from Earth.

hiss--

Who will take command?
At this time.

A notification appeared before everyone's eyes:

The number of players for this game has reached capacity (14).

[The 137th battle in the war against the United States Federation has begun. Please accept the mission according to the prompts.]

Then, each person received their own notification.

Fang Ming's profile showed him as the [Company Commander]. He then looked around and saw that the soldiers in his company all had their company numbers displayed above their heads.

Yu Feng is also a company commander, and he can see the numbers displayed above the heads of the soldiers in his company.

Then, a task popped up.

Please hold Incheon Port until reinforcements arrive, or repel the invading US-led coalition forces.

Seeing the task prompt, everyone nodded in agreement.

Okay.

The task hints provided allow for advance preparation.

Then a real-time map popped up in the game, which could be zoomed in and out at will and placed in any corner of the field of view, essentially giving players on Earth a full map cheat.

Until then.

Only then did the Blue Star players realize where they were.

md.

That old scoundrel Zhao.

1v17 is correct?
But why is it the neighbor next door? What happened to the "Republic"?

Are you playing word games again?

rough--!!!
Blue Star players haven't been scammed in so long that they've almost forgotten how Zhao Laozei (a nickname for a player) used to scam them.

Now they've played word games again.

but
Looking at the real-time map, the players on Earth couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Isn't this a full map overlay?
With the various tactics learned during World War II, plus the guerrilla warfare of the Republic of China, wouldn't it be easy to ambush the US federal troops in this place?

However, some players noticed that something was wrong.

With the enemy's forces deployed to this extent, the US-led coalition will definitely have a tough time.

After all, it's common knowledge on Earth that the neighboring side is losing.

Does Polaris want them to try and put up a fight?
Like Blitzkrieg Poland?
Just then, the Blue Star players at the port began looking for their respective teams.

The number of people was quickly tallied.

There are nearly a thousand soldiers guarding this port alone, and there are several other places around the port where players gather, which look to be several hundred people.

That being said.
This port has over a thousand garrison troops.

I was just looking at the map.

The Blue Star players were somewhat puzzled. The side supported by the US Federation and a small group of US Federation troops that had landed earlier had been compressed into the southeastern corner.

They can only hold onto the small territory east of the Nakdong River.

Why would the US federal government go through all that trouble and land at Incheon?

I knew from the trailer that the US Federation would land in Incheon, but now that I'm in Incheon and have done some research, I've discovered many inconsistencies among Earth players.

Incheon is not far from Seoul.

It's located near the center of the entire battlefield, but because it's to the west, the Republic is right across from it.

And it's not just about taking a detour.

The small islands near Incheon have many reefs, resulting in rapid currents.

Some knowledgeable players have already checked the port's situation.

At this time, due to the tides, a wide and long mudflat had formed at the port as the tide receded, and the shallow water at the port was not deep enough.

Larger landing ships may get stuck in the mud.

Moreover, this place is nearly 240 kilometers away from the Busan front line, and there is no support from the front, rear, left, or right after landing here.

There's no way I could log in here.

However, since the mission has given a hint, it means that US federal troops will land here, but the specifics are not mentioned.

Some Earth players speculate that it might be a small force attempting to land here and carry out a decapitation strike?

This idea received support from many players on Earth, since the environment here is not suitable for large-scale landings.

soon.

The mission prompts the players to discuss among the various officers at the port.

These more than a thousand Earth players began to deploy defenses around Incheon Port, mainly concentrating their firepower to prevent a surprise landing by US federal forces.

In addition, there are some Blue Star players on the surrounding islands.

It's estimated that there are several thousand people involved.

From this perspective, they can be considered a considerable fighting force.

The atmosphere in Fang Ming and Yu Feng's live stream room was relatively harmonious.

However, the situation in some live stream rooms is quite chaotic.

After all, if it were a higher-level NPC giving the order, the Blue Star players would obey, but now it has all been replaced by Blue Star players.

This raises a new question: Why should you give me orders?

In some live streams, at the Incheon Port, some Blue Star players even got into a fight over command.

Each session initially consists of 14 participants; once the number of participants is full, the next session will automatically begin.

Therefore, the TianSha live streaming platform marks the session number in the lower right corner of each live stream room according to the session the streamer is in, and adds a category.

This allows Blue Star viewers to quickly find the same live stream session within the category based on the session number of the streamer.

As the day progressed in the game, the players became fully immersed and began their respective tasks, such as patrolling, following the system prompts.

Meanwhile, players on Earth also understood from the different perspectives of various regions that the reason for the 14-strong battle was because the total military strength of the neighboring forces was roughly that much.

Except for a few high-ranking generals, all of them had been replaced by Blue Star players.

Furthermore, the higher the level a player is randomly assigned, the more demanding the tasks they will receive will be—the kind that must be completed.

soon.

The next day comes.

After clicking the "Skip Night" button, the players gradually got up.

at this time.

In Fang Ming's live broadcast room.

After a day of exploration, and thanks to Yu Feng and He Yufeng's reputation, although their official positions were not high, the players on the island basically followed their orders.

Fang Ming and Yu Feng spent half a day discussing the matter with everyone.

Using the knowledge they have learned, they deployed defenses at the port.

Before the novelty had worn off, Fang Ming, who had just gotten up, headed to the port to see how many additional firing positions could be set up, skipping the night.

Meanwhile, many Blue Star players came out from the port, including Yu Feng, who was clearly in high spirits.

At this moment, everyone gathered at the port, looking at the distant mudflats. Yu Feng said to Fang Ming, who was approaching:
"I think we should set up some anti-login barriers."

"Like the steel barricades in Normandy, preventing landing ships from landing."

In the Normandy landings battlefield, as the landing force attacking the beach, the players of Blue Star, who have been humiliated countless times, naturally know better how to inflict the greatest damage on the landing force.

The deployment of firing positions on the beach yesterday was similar to the Imperial deployment in the Normandy landings.

Fang Ming glanced around and said:
"Anti-landing barriers are not a problem."

"But there are no steel barricades, and we don't have the facilities to manufacture them here."

"Why not set up some obstacles on the mudflats to hinder the soldiers' advance?" "If we can't slow down the landing ships, we can at least slow down the soldiers."

Fang Ming's suggestion was approved by everyone, and they were just about to go find some shovels and landmines to set traps on the mudflats.

In the dimly lit sky, a sudden booming sound rang out.

And getting closer.

Soon everyone's expression changed. A bomber?
rough--!
Forgot about this!
The United States has no shortage of resources: airplanes, tanks, and aircraft carriers.
Previously, we were only thinking about defending landing ships.

I forgot about airplanes.

"quick!"

"hidden!!!"

With a loud shout, everyone scattered and hid, while at the same time, the alarm sounded at the port.

Some Blue Star players who were waiting a few minutes to skip the nighttime storyline were suddenly awakened. When they opened their eyes, they heard the alarm sounding in their ears. They quickly put on their clothes and equipment and rushed out.

at this time.

Eight bombers from the United States have arrived over the port.

As they flew over Incheon Port, the eight bombers dispersed, aimed at the more conspicuous fortifications and buildings below, and opened their belly bomb bays.

Countless tiny black dots fell.

Tons of high-explosive bombs spread through the air and swooped down to the ground.

Boom boom boom boom——

In an instant, the ground shook.

The flames of the high-explosive bomb spread instantly, and the scorching orange fire wave swept outwards, destroying everything on the ground. The spreading shockwave flattened everything on the ground.

Incheon Port was engulfed by the heatwave, with thick smoke billowing out.

The defensive fortifications set up yesterday were half destroyed in an instant.

The scene on Wolmido Island in the distance was the same, even worse than at Incheon Port.

Because it's in front of the port.

Therefore, at this moment, the US federal fleet roared with gunfire and fired in unison, with Moontail Island as its primary target.

The hundreds of Blue Star players defending the island were still reeling from the bombardment of the high-explosive bombs.

They were then subjected to artillery fire from the U.S. federal fleet.

Shells tore through the air and landed on the island, blasting craters several meters to tens of meters in diameter into the mudflats.

Hundreds of rockets were unleashed from U.S. federal warships.

The flames spread across the entire defensive position on the island, completely covering it.

Senseless.

All the Blue Star players at Incheon Port were dumbfounded.

Through the flames and smoke over the harbor, the US fleet could be seen on the sea.

One, two, three. Countless, densely packed together.

The players on the island were disheartened; no one had predicted that the US Federation would send so many people!
Who devised this plan?!
Why send so many warships to attack such a small, run-down port?!
They even have an aircraft carrier!

That's a whopping tens of thousands of people!
rough!
The entire garrison on the island numbered less than three thousand.

Not counting the surrounding islands, there are only a little over a thousand people here in the port. At least a third of them died in the bombing just now. What the hell are we guarding?!

Even those who had experienced big events and imagined various scenarios, including Fang Ming and Yu Feng, were not immune to such situations.

He was stunned by the attack.

Not playing by the rules.

Looking at it, there are at least two hundred warships, plus an aircraft carrier.

Instead of landing in Busan, this team went to Incheon. Who would have thought?

Fang Ming and Yu Feng attempted to organize a counterattack.

But it didn't work.

The enemy's firepower is too strong; we can't withstand it at all.

Moreover, the firing points and arrangements were originally set up to prevent small-scale landings by the enemy, but now, after that wave of bombing...

Half of the firing positions and defensive fortifications were destroyed.

Moreover, six more bombers flew over from the distance, heading towards the port.

Just a few moments.

Half of the Blue Star players at Incheon Port have been wiped out.

The few shots they managed to fire back were futile against the massive U.S. federal fleet.

Inside several defensive bunkers that had not yet been destroyed, Blue Star players aimed machine guns at the mudflats where US Federation landing ships began to land.

However, it was not the landing ships that were the first to rush onto the mudflats.

Instead, it carried M26 Pershing heavy tanks and M4A3 flamethrower tanks on the transport ships, tanks specifically designed to destroy fortifications.

The Blue Star player inside the defensive bunker wore an indescribable expression.

He gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger of the machine gun in his hand.

The machine gun sputtered and flashed, but these machine gun bullets were like tickling the M26 Pershing heavy tank.

The M26 Pershing heavy tanks that had rushed onto the mudflats calmly turned their guns and aimed them at the defensive bunkers that were emitting machine gun fire.

Inside the bunker.

The Blue Star player, who was holding the machine gun trigger, looked utterly bewildered as the tank's cannon turned to face him.
"That old scoundrel Zhao! Damn it!"

What kind of setup is that on the other side?!

It’s too outrageous!

boom--!
A shell blasted directly into the bunker, but the Blue Star player inside suffered no pain whatsoever.

They sent away the resistance forces inside the bunker.

The U.S. federal tanks did not stop; they landed on the beach one by one.

Meanwhile, the massive fleet in the distance was in no hurry, waiting to land at high tide, because the tidal range here meant that the warships could only land for a few hours at high tide.

So the fleet of tens of thousands of people just sat there at sea.

With aircraft overhead providing cover, landing ships and tanks on the beach began clearing out the Blue Star player defenders.

The battle lasted for most of the day.

By the time all the Blue Star player defenders at the port were wiped out, it was time for the tide to rise.

The massive U.S. federal fleet began to approach the port, and soldiers began to land.

Meanwhile, some of the Blue Star players who were eliminated had already started the game, while others were watching the Incheon landing in live streams.

After Fang Ming and Yu Feng were eliminated, they didn't rush to start the game.

Instead, he found a relatively low-key streamer's live stream room and watched the landing US federal troops from his high vantage point, using a photon supercomputer to perform calculations.

The data was collected after the high tide ended.

美联邦这边包括航母、巡洋舰、驱逐舰等在内，一共有261艘军舰，61辆M26潘兴重型坦克及M4A3喷火坦克。

There were also infantry guns of various calibers, totaling dozens of pieces.

According to estimates from the photonic supercomputer, the total number of soldiers on these warships is approximately 7.5.

In contrast, the garrison at Incheon Port.

The Blue Star players have fewer than 3000 defenders scattered across various islands, armed only with rifles and machine guns from some fortresses.

Looking at the statistics, the Blue Star players were cursing under their breath.

3000 to 75,000?

Can this be fought?
This is so powerful, even a god couldn't defeat it!

What about the US federal battlefield?

Let's just rename it "Blue Star Utter Defeat"!
rough! ! !
the other side.

Some high-ranking Blue Star players, through watching the live stream, also knew that Incheon had been breached, and that a day had already passed, with no reaction from the higher-ups.

The higher-ranking Blue Star players are preparing to report to their superiors.

However, the reply above was dismissive:
"Incheon is simply impossible to capture. The tidal range there is as high as 9 meters, and the waterways are narrow and silted up. It is impossible for the US federal troops to land there."

"The most important thing is to eliminate the enemy on the other side of the Nakdong River as soon as possible."

This response left the Blue Star players speechless with anger.

And what about the Nakdong River?
If we fight for a few more days, our escape routes will be completely cut off!

at this time.

U.S. federal troops have completely occupied Incheon and are advancing towards Seoul.
