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

Chapter 81: The Shocking 14 Hours and the Bloodbath?! (3.6k)

Shen Yan looked up and took a deep breath:

"How could this be?"

The chief of staff nodded heavily and said:

"That's the result."

"I also input some data on soldiers from Earth or other units."

"But the result is still about the same."

"Is there something wrong? Could it be that Zhao Ming made a mistake in setting up the data somewhere?"

Shen Yan rubbed his temples and nodded:

"Okay, I see."

"I'll go ask later, I'm exhausted this week."

"Let the people below get some rest."

Shen Yan then dismissed everyone in the conference room. After rubbing his temples for a while to recover, he thought for a moment and then dialed Shen Qinghan's number.
"Hello? Qinghan?"

the other side.

Polestar Games.

Zhao Ming routinely opened the database to check the progress of the Northern Army.

It's been a week already.

The closest I've ever been was when I traveled light and arrived at the mountain closest to Sansuoli.

The database was then shut down.

I entered the player forum and looked at the popular posts.

At this time, the official website of Polaris Games had opened its database, which included background information on 'Earth' and a general introduction to 'World War II'.

As players continue to experience the storyline, they can upload information they discover or the story content they experience within the game.

A complete timeline has been compiled on the official website.

从1939年9月1日闪击波兰开始，9月3日‘英法’联邦对帝国宣战，到9月5日帝国切断‘波兰走廊’。

This timeline, precise down to the year, month, and day, has been compiled up to September 1940, when the Empire began to gradually reduce its bombing of the Commonwealth after indefinitely extending Operation Sea Lion.

This information is constantly being updated. Below each piece of information, there is a record of the player's name or code name, as well as a story video that can be viewed.

This also sparked players' enthusiasm for participating in the storyline.

Zhao Ming is watching this.

He then received a call from Shen Qinghan. After understanding the situation on Shen Qinghan's end, Zhao Ming thought for a moment and said:
"This is normal."

"It's not that they couldn't get through, but that they couldn't bring the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic into the country at that time."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The will of the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic is to defend their homeland, while our Great Xia Federation is only doing it to complete our mission."

"Therefore, the difference in ideas between the two sides is also the reason why they cannot complete it."

"However, I can access the data of the People's Volunteer Army."

"Let the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic, along with the Northern Army, reenact the Battle of Sansuoli. As long as they keep up with the troops, they can complete the mission."

There's nothing we can do about it.

The Great Xia Federation on Blue Star is not the same as China on Earth, and the soldiers of the Great Xia Federation simply cannot be compared to the soldiers of the Republic at that time.

But they are all soldiers, as long as there is a leader.

Soldiers of the Great Xia Federation with a strong enough will can keep up and fully experience how the "Battle of San Suoli" is completed.

After coordinating with Shen Qinghan, Zhao Ming accessed the data on the People's Volunteer Army in the "Bloody Battle of San Suoli".

night.

Northern part of the Great Xia Federation, the Songgor Ice Plain.

7th Special Operations Brigade.

Brigade Commander Shen Yan woke up after sleeping all day. The Special Battalion had also finished resting. After seeing the message sent by Shen Qinghan, Shen Yan summoned the Special Battalion again.

After ordering everyone to enter the virtual pod, the [Bloody Battle of the Three Places] was restarted.

After the familiar opening cinematic, what comes into view is no longer an empty camp, but rather the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic cleaning up the battlefield.

Volunteer soldiers carrying wounded soldiers, and the smoke of gunpowder filling the battlefield.

Everyone was saying that this unit had just gone through a battle.

This time, Shen Yan appeared at the edge of the command post of the People's Volunteer Army with Liu Feng and a few others.

He glanced at the notification that flashed before his eyes.

Sitting not far away by the campfire, holding an order in his hand, is the commander of the 113th Division in the CG, and also the man standing on the mountain peak looking into the distance at the end of the scene, representing the US 9th Army.

at this time.

The commander of the 113th Division looked at the order in his hand, raised his head, and said:

"The army commander ordered our 113th Division to set off immediately to relieve the 42nd Army and carry out the mission of infiltration and flanking maneuver to raid Sansuoli."

"Block the U.S. 9th Army, which was surrounded and attempted to escape south, and at the same time block the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, which was heading north to meet the U.S. 9th Army."

Shen Yan, Liu Feng, and the others at the edge exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with shock.

They had only been given the task of raiding the Third Institute, but they hadn't been able to complete it.

The 113th Division, which had just been through a battle, was now tasked with a non-stop raid on Sansuoli, blocking the US 9th Corps while also holding off the US 1st Cavalry Division.

this? !

Even if it's impossible to say it out loud, what if it actually is possible?
The crowd suppressed their shock for the moment.

soon.

Everyone, including Shen Yan, received orders to conduct a full radio silence and rush to San Suoli.

The entire 113th Division was mobilized.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan, as the 'battalion commander,' led his Special Battalion 1 and set off with the main force of the 113th Division.

In the team.

Shen Yan led his team, running through the ranks of the People's Volunteer Army.

Under the night.

Looking at the fully armed People's Volunteer Army soldiers around him, a hint of shock flashed in Shen Yan's eyes:
"Are we just going to launch a full-armored raid on Sansuoli like this?"

Not only was Shen Yan shocked, but Liu Feng and the others were also filled with astonishment.

Won't this make you run yourself to death?
The most recent time they were there, they were only a short distance down the mountain from San Suo Li, and they ran there lightly equipped.

Everything around them was telling that this unit had arrived fully armed.

The few military vehicles were empty of soldiers, filled only with weapons and ammunition, with the division commander leading the way.

Suddenly, a shout came from ahead:
"All cadres, speed up! Hold a meeting while you're running!"

Hear the words.

The cadres from some of the surrounding teams started running forward as fast as they could.

Shen Yan instructed Liu Feng to lead the team, then gritted his teeth and charged forward.

In front.

The group of officers were running and discussing, "If we were the US 9th Army, where would we break out from?"

early morning.

Eleven hours have passed.

The faint moonlight illuminated the earth, and the frigid air, more than 30 degrees below zero, felt like it was being scraped by a knife when inhaled. The only sound in the endless mountains was the sound of footsteps.

The rear section of the 113th Division's troops.

Shen Yan's mind was blank; he ran mechanically. This speed had completely surpassed the records of everyone in their brigade, leaving him no room for extra thoughts and only able to follow the main force.

thump!
He heard a thud as someone fell to the ground. Shen Yan turned his head and saw a soldier from the Special Forces Battalion lying on the ground.

Battalion Commander Liu Feng gritted his teeth and ran up, his voice strained as he managed to squeeze out:
"Brigade Commander, this is the 37th one already."

"Keep running like this."

"Our entire battalion will be wiped out!"

Shen Yan looked ahead, forcing himself to steady his breathing, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth:
"Then run!"

"If we stop now, wouldn't their deaths have been for nothing?!"

"Keep up with the group, don't fall behind!!!"

Liu Feng took a deep breath:

"Yes!!!"

at this time.

The 113th Division is 35 kilometers away from Sansuoli.

early morning.

Eleven hours have passed.

An island deep in the north.

The sun had already risen high in the sky, and bombers from the American Free Federation swept over the mountains.

The roaring engine did not stop the team for even a moment.

The rear of the main force.

Shen Yan led the soldiers of the Special First Battalion, running mechanically. The 300-man force had been reduced to 187 men, compared to the surrounding People's Volunteer Army.

Their non-combat casualties were the highest.

Shen Yan, Liu Feng, and the others simply couldn't understand why the soldiers of the People's Volunteer Army around them, who were so thin and small, could display such willpower.
The roar of bombers overhead finally brought Liu Feng and the others back to their senses:
"Shouldn't we hide where we are and rest for a bit?"

"Otherwise, we'll be exposed."

The 7th Special Operations Brigade had previously attempted to continue its forced march, but it was quickly discovered and bombed. When the bombers returned, the entire brigade took cover on the spot.

The stealth skills honed in the "White Reaper" proved surprisingly effective.

The bombers overhead never spotted them.

The Great Xia Federation soldiers, longing for a secluded rest, unconsciously slowed their pace. They had been marching for 11 hours straight; it really was time to rest.
however.

The order coming from the front was not to rest, but...
"Everyone! If you have a helmet, put it on and walk on the main road!"

"Sprinting has been changed to marching in formation!"

It still hasn't stopped.

12 hours of forced march.

There are still 9 kilometers left to go to Sansuoli.

The rear section of the 113th Division.

thump! thump!
He heard a series of thuds as people fell to the ground. Liu Feng turned his head and saw that this was already the umpteenth time, but roughly two-thirds of the men had been killed.

Liu Feng's voice was heavy with breaths, trembling slightly:

"Brigade Commander, we only have a little over a hundred men left."

Shen Yan was also gritting his teeth and persevering:

"Run, all of you! Even if you die, die in the Third Institute!!!"

This is no longer just a forced march, but a test of will.

After a 12-hour forced march, two-thirds of the men have died. If we stop now, all our previous efforts will have been in vain. The dawn is just around the corner, how can we give up!

13 hours of forced march.

"The last five kilometers!"

"Everyone, charge with me!!!"

at this time.

Shen Yan's Special Battalion has 92 men left.

14 hours of forced march.

San Suoli.

After a brief burst of gunfire, the team's pace gradually slowed down.

The Special Battalion and others at the rear of the 113th Division had begun to walk, though many of them were limping. In front of the enemy barracks ahead, there were large pots.

The hot food inside all went to the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic.

at this time.

Shen Yan and his Special Battalion at the rear of the column looked around in a daze, as if they were in another world.
"This is Sansuoli? Have we really arrived?"

There was still a hint of disbelief in his tone.

The almost impossible task that the photon supercomputing cluster could perform was accomplished by them under the leadership of the People's Volunteer Army.

At night, with temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius, he actually completed a 72.5-kilometer forced march with heavy loads in 14 hours, and he even participated in it personally. Even now, Shen Yan still finds it hard to believe.

Looking around at the surrounding mountains, Shen Yan came back to his senses:

"It's a good place for an ambush."

"How many of us are left?"

After Liu Feng finished counting, he said in a hoarse voice:

"brigadier."

"67 people remain."

More than 20 people died in the last five kilometers.

Shen Yan fell silent upon hearing that only a few people remained.
"Non-combat casualties are nearly four-fifths."

No one on Earth would believe this number; it's simply outrageous.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yan spoke:

"What do you think?"

Liu Feng gave a wry smile and said with shame:
"This is not an impossible task."

"It's just that we didn't have that determination and will before."

"If these data are designed according to the actual level of human beings, then the infantry of this Republic is truly the world's top infantry, even on our Blue Star."

Shen Yan took a deep breath:

"Our current march has already broken the record on Earth."

Data can be falsified, but real-time monitoring of the virtual cabin cannot.

Those soldiers who didn't finish did so because their physical and mental limits were limited; once they reached those limits, they would automatically fall into a coma and fall asleep, thus withdrawing from the mission.

The fact that they were able to complete it means that their bodies could withstand such limits.

However, the proportion of non-combat casualties is simply too high.
Shen Yan, who was thinking about training the willpower of his young men, suddenly realized:

"its not right?"

Why didn't you log out?

The US 9th Army arrived at Sansuoli and the game ended immediately.

They arrived at Sansuoli, but the journey was still ongoing.

A bloody battle at Sansuo Village. A bloody battle?!

"Everyone!"

"Ready to fight!!!"
