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

Chapter 220 [The Second Battle] Chosin Reservoir on the Eastern Front (4k)

Although the troops of the American Free Federation retreated to the south of the Chongchon River, they formed a stalemate with the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.

However, neither side let their guard down.

While the U.S. federal government was still planning to occupy all the territory before Christmas, Commander-in-Chief MacArthur reinforced the existing forces in Liyuan in the east.

They plan to wage war on both the eastern and western fronts.

Meanwhile, the Republic deployed three armies to the Chosin Reservoir area to defend against the US federal forces on the eastern front.

With the end of the 'First Battle'.

Both sides are currently deploying troops, which gives Blue Star players time to analyze the battle situation.

at this time.

In Yu Feng’s live broadcast room.

I've switched back from the [Battlefield Against the United States] to my single-player [Immersive Story] mode.

Because the timelines are roughly the same, we also began investigating the situation within the United States, the Republic, and the Soviet Union.

Fortunately, in Yu Feng's [Immersive Story] mode, he is the editor-in-chief of a news agency in the United States.

Within just half a day in the game, I received reports from subordinates all over the world, as well as faxes of newspapers.

The joint forces, including those of the US federal government, have also been largely investigated.

Although it only provides general information, it is sufficient.

Yu Feng looked at the intelligence and nodded repeatedly, occasionally showing a look of surprise, which made the viewers in the live stream eager for him to announce it.

Yu Feng didn't look up and say with a smile until he had finished reading:

"Alright, guys."

"Don't worry, we'll announce it soon."

"After the war started, we collected a bit more intelligence."

Let me see where to begin.

"Let's start with the US federal government."

"Currently, the time in my [Immersive Story] mode is the same as that in the [Battle Against the United States] mode."

"Regarding the evacuation a few days ago, most people in the U.S. federal government still don't seem to care."

"Some businesses even organize celebrations in advance, offering prize draws and free shopping vouchers to any soldiers who win battles on Christmas Day who come to shop."

"Judging from the current situation, the US federal government is determined to win this war."

"Then came the reaction to the Republic's entry into the war."

"The U.S. federal government is already aware that the Republic has entered the war, and many news outlets have begun reporting on it. The American public does not have a positive view of the Republic."

"There is widespread support for wars waged by joint forces."

"This is quite difficult to evaluate."

"If they went to the battlefield and experienced it for themselves, they probably wouldn't say that."

"But to be honest, given the situation on the battlefield..."

"I feel that Zhao Laozei did this on purpose on Polaris."

"When I started the game, I was beaten up by the neighboring side. I was beaten all the way from Incheon to the Yalu River. I finally managed to get the identity of the joint forces, but then I was chased and beaten by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army."

Yu Feng was helpless, and the live stream was filled with curses against Zhao Laozei.

That's certainly true.

No matter which side you start on, you're going to get beaten up.

After finally getting the identity of a soldier of the Republic, I still have to face bombing by US federal planes, and before I know it, I have to start all over again.

After Yu Feng finished explaining the situation on the US federal side, he picked up another intelligence report:
"The United States' attention is now entirely drawn to the Republic."

"Therefore, we don't have the energy to deal with Eastern Europe for the time being."

"This gave the Soviet Federation the opportunity to strengthen its control over Eastern Europe, just as the [Republic] entered the country and was at war with the United States."

"At the same time, the Soviet Union was in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and other Eastern European countries."

"A new round of 'anti-cleansing' activities has been launched."

"This isn't the first time."

“From 1948 to the present, no less than one million people have been purged in Eastern European countries alone.”

"Now, with the Soviets pushing the US federal government to compete with the Republic in its neighboring country, it has no time to care about Eastern Europe."

"To be honest, I can't even imagine such a method."

"The Soviet Union's control over its Eastern European satellite states had reached an outrageous level."

"Issuing an order."

"The purges were carried out directly within the country, without the Soviets having any involvement, and the domestic political parties were killing each other to their hearts' content."

"This also explains why British prime ministers delivered the Iron Curtain speech after World War II."

"We anticipated this situation several years in advance."

"After all, it doesn't matter that the United States is not located in Europe, but the Commonwealth is really afraid, so they have to bring the United States over to fight the Soviet Union no matter what."

"However, the methods of the British Commonwealth Prime Minister are clearly not as effective as those of the Soviets."

"The Soviets gave a hint, and the neighbors foolishly rushed up, only to be brutally beaten by the United States. If it weren't for the fate of the Republic, that place would already be a US military base."

"The US federal government and the Republic are definitely not going to be finished anytime soon."

"The Soviet Union now has absolute power in Eastern Europe."

"Those who are interested can start their own journey through various Eastern European countries in their own immersive storyline and experience it for themselves."

"Anyway, although the reports from the US federal government are smear campaigns, at this level, whether it's a smear campaign or not is really the same thing."

After all, the two-year-long purge wiped out no less than a million people in Eastern European countries.

This situation.

No matter how much they smear it, in the end it's still the same old story.

The smears are even less accurate than the actual situation.

Yu Feng and the netizens in the live broadcast room were also marveling at the 'methods' used in the great power game.

Perhaps there were people in the US federal government who saw through the Soviet Union's intentions.

But there is no way.

It's already set up; there's no stopping it.

Although the Republic had seen it long ago, there was nothing they could do; how could they tolerate someone else snoring beside their bed?

We have to fight, whether we want to or not.

Then Yu Feng took out other joint forces data and said:
"Besides the United States Freedom, the Republic, and the local forces on both the north and south sides."

"We've also collected some data on the remaining troops."

"First, the British Commonwealth has sent the most people after the others mentioned above, with 1.4 people sent in the initial stage of the war alone."

"However, it seems a bit too little."

"The number of people involved in this war is even less than the number of casualties in the fighting between the United States and the Republic in the past two days."

“There are even fewer other federations and countries.”

"The number of personnel in the Royal Australian Regiment's 3rd Battalion, which has been the subject of much discussion these past few days, is over two thousand."

"Regarding the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Australian Legion."

"They first distinguished themselves during World War II, but what truly made them famous was their bayonet fighting against the Japanese, who were out of ammunition and supplies, on the Pacific battlefield."

"This resulted in the complete annihilation of the enemy forces, while our side suffered only a dozen or so minor injuries."

"So they've always thought they're 'invincible in close combat.'" "To be honest, that's pretty absurd."

"At the neighboring area, they killed more than 200 people in a bayonet charge, with only 7 of their own men injured. That's understandable, since those were all temporary farmers who were conscripted."

"But to achieve this result by fighting those Japanese with bayonets is really absurd."

"The Japanese are so crazy about bayonet fighting that we can't possibly lose to them."

No wonder Yu Feng and the netizens in the live stream suspected me.

In terms of suppressing individual combat capabilities at this point in World War II, besides the Republic, only Japan remains, given their previous rampages in Southeast Asian countries.

The madness of the Japanese is something that players on Earth have also experienced firsthand.

So you're talking about the Pacific theater during World War II.

When the Japanese troops on the other side were running out of ammunition and supplies and were making a desperate charge, the Australian battalion achieved a record of zero casualties while annihilating the entire Japanese force.

This has left players on Earth utterly bewildered.

Fortunately, there were quite a few players who had experience with the Pacific theater during World War II. After Yu Feng explained the specific battles, the players began searching for previous video materials.

I did find a player's perspective, although not from the Australian camp, but they also watched this battle.

The reality is that the Japanese garrison on the island has been besieged by US federal troops for several days, to the point that they have even run out of grass.

They claimed it was a desperate charge, but in reality, after being starved for several days, they wanted to take a few people with them before they died.

Although the Japanese defenders shouted "Charge!" and looked quite intimidating, their steps were unsteady.

Meanwhile, nearly a thousand Australian men, each almost two meters tall, charged forward with bayonets after a hearty meal and drink, achieving a victory with zero casualties on their side and the complete annihilation of the Japanese.

Then he enjoyed five years of honors before joining the Commonwealth forces.

We entered the neighboring territory of the [Republic].

Unfortunately, they encountered a force composed of farmers who had been conscripted. They killed over 200 of them, while suffering zero casualties and only seven minor injuries.

If you do not encounter any troops from the Republic.

The Royal Australian 3rd Battalion can be said to be the chosen ones.

Both battles resulted in the reaping of defeated troops, allowing him to enjoy five years of glory.

As a result, they encountered the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. Thirty men charged into an Australian battalion of nearly a thousand men and wiped it out in one fell swoop. After the battle, the Australian battalion commander was dismissed.

This is truly embarrassing.

Yu Feng continued to reveal information about the military forces of other countries:
"Then there is the French Federation."

"The French Federation also sent more than 1000 people to participate in the battle."

"The Turkish tour group consists of more than 5000 people."

"The Netherlands has over 800 people, New Zealand has over 900 people, and Luxembourg... well, they sent 44 people."

"There are also the Federation of Colombia, the Federation of Thailand, and so on, each with more than 1000 people."

"Overall."

"It's still a contest between the Republic and the Free Federation of the United States."

"Because if small countries fight, they can never keep up with the size of large countries. Other countries send these people, except for the British Commonwealth, the Turkish Brigade and so on, a few thousand people can hold on."

"The rest were basically wiped out in one wave."

"The Australian battalion was chased and killed by 30 Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers. If it weren't for the numerous firing positions of the British 27th Brigade on the other side of the river, I estimate that the Australian battalion would have been wiped out if the chase had continued."

This prompted the Blue Star players in the live stream to agree.

indeed.

The empires and Japan during World War II have proven that if a country has a small land area, its logistics cannot keep up, and if its logistics cannot keep up, it will be worn down and killed.

In the late game, the Empire's tanks become broken down in droves.

By the middle of the war, Japan was no longer willing to risk everything to attack British colonies in Southeast Asia and plunder their oil resources.

War is always a war of attrition, and the combined forces have such limited strength.

It's estimated that by the late game, only the United States will still have any fighting power left among the Earth players.

If this number of troops participated in even a few battles, it wouldn't be enough to defeat the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.

the other side.

The players on Earth were discussing the situation in the game.

Meanwhile, the military of the Great Xia Federation...

Looking at the real-time map in the [Battlefield Against the United States], it gradually became clearer. Both sides were currently deploying troops, but they were gradually closing in.

Looking at the troop deployments of both sides on the map, places familiar to the soldiers of the Great Xia Federation, such as San Suoli and Longyuanli, were marked on the map.

Two days later.

In the game, the "Republic" volunteer army has begun to clash with the US federal forces.

Compared to the first battle.

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army fought somewhat conservatively this time, maintaining a gradual retreat along the entire front line.

Great Xia Federation, Northern Army.

The headquarters of the 7th Special Operations Brigade.

Brigade Commander Shen Yan and Chief of Staff Qu Guang were discussing the situation on the island. Qu Guang, looking at the map showing the positions of both sides, said:
"The battlefield of the Second Battle was divided into two sides."

"The main battlefield on the western front was the Yunshan area, and subsequently the Sansuoli area."

"The main battlefield on the eastern front was the Chosin Reservoir area."

Obviously.

The "Battle of Sansoli" storyline they experienced before took place during this second battle, and it is now displayed on the global map.

The situation of the battle became clearer.

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army (CPVA) was luring the enemy deep into their territory. At this time, the US 9th Corps seemed to be advancing steadily, but it had already been lured deep into the territory by the CPVA.

The next step, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be to lure the enemy deep into our territory.

The 38th Army outflanked the US 9th Corps, penetrating 72.5 kilometers in 14 hours and cutting off their retreat.

They have experienced this scenario firsthand.

Previously unaware of the entire battlefield situation, now possessing the complete map, they found it quite fascinating.

I admire the command of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.

However, the two soon turned their attention to the neighboring Changjin Lake area.

They had all experienced the Battle of Sansoli during the Second Phase Offensive and knew roughly what happened afterward, but they had not experienced the Battle of Chosin Reservoir on the Eastern Front.

I don't know the specifics of the situation.

Shen Yan did a search and was somewhat surprised:

"Why are all the live streams of the Changjin Lake area on this platform from the perspective of the US federal government?"

"What about the [Republic]?"

Qu Guang glanced at it and said:
"The storyline of [Republic] may not be suitable for players to experience."

"After all, many of our soldiers trained for a long time to endure the forced march in the Battle of Sansuoli. Letting ordinary people participate is not just about torturing them."

"Even the first battle a few days ago, the Battle of Unsan, didn't offer much of a Republic perspective."

"On the contrary, we can experience the Battle of Unsan and be bombed by US federal planes and artillery."

"I estimate that the Changjin Lake area will be opened to us once the fighting starts. Regular players will probably get the perspective of the US Federation."

(Sorry, my toothache has been unbearable for the past few days, but thankfully it's gotten much better today and the swelling has finally gone down.)
