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

Chapter 216 [Pushing North 300 Kilometers] The Republic's Fate (4k)

At this point, the players on Earth were still unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Since the higher-ups don't care.

They continued to do their own thing, while the players closer to the Nakdong River attacked even more vigorously, as they were about to eliminate the enemy troops huddled there.

Let's not worry about where the US federal government is fighting.

Let's eliminate these enemies first, then we can talk about national unification.

With this in mind, the Blue Star players began to launch a fierce attack, attempting to sweep through the enemy forces and some US federal soldiers east of the Luodong River.

However, unexpectedly, the Incheon landing was successful.

The intensity of the enemy's resistance far exceeded the expectations of the Blue Star players.

There were even a few times when they were pushed back.

Just as the Blue Star players on the front lines were discussing how to quickly finish the battle and sweep through Busan in one fell swoop,

The rear has completely collapsed.

The landing of nearly 7.5 U.S. troops at Incheon was tantamount to stabbing a knife into the middle of the entire map.

Even if the US federal forces do not use aircraft, tanks, rocket artillery, etc.

With only about 7.5 people, cutting off the north-south connection from the neighboring country's total of 14 troops is enough to give the neighboring side a hard time.

Furthermore, most of the plot will skip the night.

Therefore, one day in reality on Earth will advance three or four days in the game.

This leads to an information gap problem.

The area was not large to begin with, and the US federal government also deployed aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles after landing in Incheon on September 15.

The Blue Star players did launch an organized counterattack.

However, the firepower of the United States Federation was too strong. The United States Federation only sent a few fighter jets, and a single bombing raid wiped out nearly half of the combat power of the counterattack organized by the Blue Star players.

It completely destroyed them.

They then attacked Gimpo Airport while simultaneously besieging Seoul.

While the Blue Star players in Nakdonggang hadn't managed to conquer Busan in the game after several days.

The entire battlefield situation had completely collapsed.

In reality, only one day had passed on Earth. It was like the server was in a great state when it opened in the morning, but by evening it was on the verge of collapse, and the speed of the collapse was enough to make people question their existence.

How come it collapsed even faster than during the "Blitzkrieg Poland"?

What are those people in the back doing? Are they robots?
Seeing the doubts of the players in front, the players behind cursed inwardly, "Why don't you try it yourself and see?!"

But now that we know...

The players on Earth began to devise a counterattack strategy.

Fortunately, the entire map was enabled, and there were also dedicated channels for each session, allowing these Earth players to communicate remotely in the live stream.

But
It doesn't seem to be of any use.

As night falls on Earth.

游戏内也到了9月19日，距离早上开服时的9月14日已经过去了5天时间。

Fang Ming and Yu Feng were forced to retreat because they could not hold Incheon Port.

Then they watched helplessly as the six tanks that came to their aid were destroyed by a barrage of artillery fire from the US federal forces.

at this time.

Fang Ming and Yu Feng had already hidden in the wilderness, broadcasting live the scene of Gimpo Airport in the distance.

After landing on September 15, the U.S. forces advanced towards Seoul while simultaneously attacking Gimpo Airport, capturing the airport on September 18 alone.

Then they demonstrated their strong logistical capabilities.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming spent the whole day lying on the hilltop watching as one after another, US federal transport planes landed at Gimpo Airport.

Statistical analysis was performed using the zoom function within the live stream and the photon supercomputing system.

On September 18th alone.

The U.S. federal government transported more than 20,000 soldiers, along with various armored vehicles and tons of supplies, to this location.

And with these added.

At this time, the number of US-led coalition troops stationed here had reached approximately 10.

It's important to understand that a war against the United States only started with 14 troops, which is the entire force of the neighboring side. However, in just a few days, the United States has sent 10 troops into the fray.

How could the battlefield situation not explode?

The Blue Star players then faced several days of agonizing hardship.

First Seoul was besieged, then Gimpo was occupied.

Not only were their own supply lines completely cut off, but in just a few days, the U.S. federal government relied on Gimpo Airport to airlift more than 3 soldiers again.

In addition to the previous 20,000 or so, a total of more than 50,000 soldiers were transported over.

In addition to the 7.5 U.S. federal troops who landed at Incheon.

At this time, the number of US troops in Seoul was almost equal to the total number of troops in their neighboring country.

The situation at the rear was already so difficult, and things weren't going well at the front either.

After failing to capture Busan for several days, the Blue Star players were already planning to retreat, as the United States was attacking from the rear after their supply lines were cut off.

As the Blue Star player defenders at Luodong River prepared to turn back and defend...

A counterattack by the US federal forces in Busan disrupted the formation of the Blue Star players.

The situation has completely spiraled out of control.

On September 22, the Luodongjiang defense line collapsed, and the Blue Star players began to retreat.

And at this time.

Seoul.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming have already returned here.

After observing Gimpo Airport for a day, Yu Feng and Fang Ming led a small force to retreat to the rear, but they were discovered by US federal troops on the way.

And that was it.

Fortunately, we were able to restart, but the main force had been wiped out.

Therefore, the players who restarted the game were basically temporarily recruited into the army. They didn't even have a formal position; they were just given a gun and sent to resist the US federal forces.

However, the Blue Star players didn't care about any of that; they grabbed their guns and were ready to fight.

However, the U.S. federal troops did not give them a chance.

After observing for a while, Yu Feng and Fang Ming finally found a relatively secluded corner and hid themselves without any intention of fighting.

Are you kidding me? They have over 10 people on the other side, with planes, tanks, and artillery.

Hit him with your head!

Let's just broadcast the battlefield live.

After the two of them had taken cover, it wasn't long before dawn broke.

The roar of engines could be heard in the distance.

Even the ground shook slightly, and Yu Feng and Fang Ming knew that the US federal Pershing heavy tanks had arrived.

really.

A dense array of tanks appeared on the distant horizon; dozens could be seen at a glance.

As the tanks drew closer.

The U.S. federal troops halted, and the tanks' guns were aimed at the defensive fortifications surrounding Seoul.

Boom boom boom boom——

The earth trembled, and the salvo of artillery shells tore through the distant fortifications like thunder.

Sandbags mixed with soil fragments were lifted dozens of meters high.

Large craters appeared on the ground, and even soldiers inside the trenches were thrown out by the shockwave of the explosion, flying into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

This scene.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming were practically grimacing at the thought; the immersion was just too strong. After all, those defending troops below were also Blue Star players, but they were still thinking about counterattacking—clearly game newbies.

The viewers in the live stream also gasped in surprise.

It's too awful.

Wouldn't he just fall to his death?

This is just the beginning, and the US federal government doesn't seem to intend to push it forward.

After several rounds of salvo from the tanks.

On the distant hillside, several artillery battalions of the U.S. federal government had dozens of cannons lined up in rows, aimed at Seoul.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Dozens of U.S. federal cannons bombarded Seoul's outer defenses in turn.

Those exceptionally strong defensive fortifications used in infantry combat.

At this moment, facing such dense artillery fire, it appeared so vulnerable, and the entire Seoul was shrouded in the cover of artillery fire.

One by one, the fortified defenses were destroyed.

The artillery barrage lasted for a full 40 minutes.

And until now.

The Blue Star players defending the city didn't even have a chance to fire a single shot.

Because the US federal government didn't even get close.

They destroyed most of the Blue Star players' combat power simply by bombarding them with artillery fire.

The bombardment had just ceased.

Before the Blue Star players defending the city could even catch their breath, bombers from the United States Federation were already in the sky, armed with rockets and napalm, and were swooping down on Seoul.

As it flew over Seoul, the rockets and napalm bombs it carried swooped down.

boom--!
The moment the bomb hit the ground, an orange-red fireball spread out, and viscous incendiary agent splattered everywhere, turning the entire surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire.

Some unfortunate Blue Star players were also infected, their entire bodies instantly ignited.

After running a few steps, it lost the strength to struggle and was forced to restart.

First came a salvo of tank fire, then artillery barrage, followed by aerial bombardment.

After that...

For the US federal government, it was merely a waste of ammunition, but for the Blue Star players in Seoul, it was practically a catastrophe.

They had almost no power left to resist.

With the bombing over, the long-stagnant U.S. federal heavy tank forces were also replenished with ammunition.

This time, we didn't stay in the same place.

Instead, it started slowly and drove towards Seoul at a leisurely pace.

On the outskirts of Seoul, now a wasteland and a sea of ​​fire, the few remaining Earth players who had survived tried to fight back, preparing to fire from the fortifications.

However, they appeared weak and powerless when faced with the heavy tanks of the US federal government.

The US federal government spotted the surviving Earth players from a distance of 100 meters, giving them no chance to throw anything, while the main gun of the heavy tank rotated slowly.

It was aimed at the Blue Star player in the distance.

boom--! ! !
The fortifications were as fragile as paper; a single shell destroyed them, and even the steel machine guns were warped by the powerful impact, let alone the people inside.

This scene is so gruesome it makes your teeth ache.

Is there even a fight going on here?
They didn't even give you a chance to shoot; they just pushed straight through.

The players on Earth have developed a kind of firepower phobia, fearing that they might be overwhelmed by US federal firepower at any moment.

Seoul's outer defenses were practically nonexistent, and it was easily overrun by the US federal government.

When the US forces reached Seoul, the Earth players managed to regain some ground, as there were many houses in the city and they couldn't destroy them all.

The US federal forces and the Blue Star players' defenders engaged in urban warfare.

The struggle for each room.

This has narrowed the gap considerably, and Blue Star players are quite familiar with urban warfare.

When I played the Battle of Stalingrad before, I fought a lot of urban warfare.

They managed to inflict some losses on the U.S. federal forces.

But it didn't help much.
With the massive numbers and logistical support of the U.S. federal government, it's only a matter of time before the urban warfare is quelled.

On September 25, Seoul fell.

Nearly 80,000 Blue Star players on the 38th parallel were reduced to just over 20,000 by the US Federation in less than a week.

They were simply unable to stop the advance of US federal troops.

Forced to retreat across the board to north of the 38th parallel, and continue to retreat northward in an attempt to preserve a sliver of strength.

Until then.

The high-rise buildings on the neighboring side panicked.

However, there was nothing they could do. After the forces supported by the U.S. federal troops held a liberation ceremony in Seoul on September 28, they crossed the 9th parallel on the 29th and continued their offensive.

Subsequently, U.S. federal troops followed, and the battlefield situation became one-sided.

No matter how the Blue Star players resisted, they were no match for the United States Federation's powerful firepower and supply capabilities.

In just one month.

The US federal troops pushed 300 kilometers north, from Busan all the way to the Yalu River, making the players on Earth question their existence and whether all their time playing World War II had been for nothing.

This doesn't require any tactics or strategies.

No amount of resistance will help.

The opposing side is a purebred dog, a massive bombardment.

The players on Earth were so stressed by the bombing that their first instinct upon encountering US federal soldiers was to hide.

To avoid being bombarded by artillery, rockets, incendiary bombs, etc.
Many Blue Star players were secretly gritting their teeth.

If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely give the US federal government a good blast.

rough! ! !
In the real world of Earth, this "battlefield against the US" has only been open for a week, and Earth players are already suffering defeat after defeat, having been pushed back to the banks of the Yalu River.

It's only a matter of time before the remaining remnants are pushed over.

Now, the Soviet leaders behind the scenes remain silent.

They are just waiting for the Republic to join the war and drag it into the quagmire of conflict.

Just when the situation in the game was unclear.

The opponent's actions made the Blue Star players gasp in shock.

Although it has not yet joined the [Republic] faction.

However, players on Earth have a 'real-time map' and can already see that the Republic's troops have secretly entered the country and are preparing to join the war.

The soldiers from the US federal government on the other side and those in the south certainly didn't know that.

because
Those soldiers in the south, after their risky advance...

Perhaps they feel that with the US federal government backing them up, they are invincible.

After the troops from the south entered Chushan, they actually brought in several cannons and bombarded the border of the Republic across the Yalu River, continuing the bombardment incessantly.

He acted like he had powerful backers and was ready to take on any challenge.
This move left all the players on Earth completely bewildered.

No?

How much did he drink?!
What kind of thing is this, daring to bombard the border of the Republic?
Even if we bomb it, it won't be your turn.
The US federal government hasn't even dared to make a move yet, and you puppet troops from the south are already acting recklessly?
However, he quickly lost his arrogance.

Because the Republic's troops entered the country secretly.

The overzealous enemy was unaware that the Republic had already entered the war, so they were gleefully bombarding the Republic's borders.

Completely unaware that their retreat had been cut off by the 40th Army of the Republic.

The Sixth Division, which had advanced into the Chushan area from the south, was mostly annihilated and forced to retreat.

This completely baffled the US federal government.

Why has the combat strength here suddenly increased?
