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

Chapter 89 [The Battle of Songgu Peak] (3.5K words, thanks to sfqk for the Alliance Leader! Extra chapter tomorrow)
This embarrassing and pathetic scene almost made Shen Yan laugh to death.

Qu Guang also smiled, his tone somewhat wistful:
"Not everyone can just casually swipe like we do. Come to think of it, some people are just different."

"What if we encounter the [White Reaper] during our live stream? Tsk."

Other federations, caught off guard by the "White Death," were left only to be utterly defeated.

Because they had the key, they simply used the "White Reaper" as a training ground. After training for such a long time, the combat quality of individual soldiers almost doubled.

This treatment is unmatched by any other federal government.

If they encountered the "White Reaper" instance during their live stream, it certainly wouldn't be so bad, and there's still a possibility of a comeback; they've succeeded many times during training.

When the comparison is made, their side will take off immediately.

Shen Yan nodded in agreement.

However, Shen Yan has lost interest in the White Reaper and is now focusing his energy on the Battle of Songgu Peak.

I was planning to lead the team myself, but now orders have come down from above.

Shen Yan pondered that he should first experience the situation with the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic and see what they lacked before the live broadcast, because there was no other way to deal with this kind of battlefield situation except to tough it out.

Moreover, all the data provided by Polaris to the Republic's volunteer army is the most authentic human data; no matter how the photon supercomputer analyzes it, it is still just ordinary human data.

But why was it that the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic was able to survive, while they couldn't?
So what exactly is the difference?

Shen Yan pondered for a while, then watched the live stream for a bit longer before saying to Qu Guang:
"You lead the Second Special Battalion to start the live broadcast first."

"I'll have Polaris release the data for the [Battle of Songgu Peak], and I'll come back tonight to take over for you."

Qu Guang had no objections:
"Row."

"But aren't you going to take a rest?"

Shen Yan shook his head:

"I can't sleep until we break through the Songgu Peak blocking battle."

the other side.

Polestar Games.

Zhao Ming was also watching Tiansha Live.

He hadn't expected the actions of the various federal officials.

The main reason was that they were following the official promotion schedule of "Anti-War Competition," and it wasn't their turn yet. However, due to the live stream on the official account of the Antarctic Star Federation, the popularity exploded.

The recommendations haven't even started yet, but the game is already a hit.

It only took one morning.

More than four million new accounts have been added, and this number continues to grow, estimated to exceed ten million by tonight.

Even Shen Qinghan's side was alarmed, and they quickly mobilized all resources, replacing all the servers and equipment with top-of-the-line equipment within two hours.

The server can now accommodate 80 million users without any problem.

Although Zhao Ming felt it was going too far, after all, even the highest number of concurrent online users in 'Earth' games didn't reach that many, he still thought about the size of Earth, both in terms of land area and world population.

Both are far beyond 'Earth', 80 million. That seems reasonable.

Zhao Ming opened the official website and looked at the real-time map.

By this time, Kiev was almost surrounded, triggering the Battle of Kiev, the largest siege battle in Earth's history, followed by the Battle of Leningrad, the Battle of Moscow, and the Battle of Stalingrad.

These battles, except for the Battle of Kiev.

These are all battles that span a considerable period of time. If you want to make them into a national war instance, you can only choose a specific time period and make it into an instance for players to experience.

After all, just like the Siege of Leningrad, which lasted 872 days and caused the deaths of millions of people, many of whom starved to death.

You can't let players starve for 872 days. The same applies to the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad; you need to choose a point in time to create the instance.

There are just too many time points, and Zhao Ming hasn't chosen one yet. Perhaps creating multiple copies with different time points would also be an option.

Just thinking about it.

Zhao Ming received a message from Shen Qinghan. After reviewing it, Zhao Ming opened the database for the "Songgu Peak Blockade Battle" and then notified Shen Qinghan.

Then, the database for the "Battle of Songgu Peak" was brought up, and I was somewhat surprised:

"We've held on for 5 hours and 17 minutes."

But think about it.

The 7th Special Operations Brigade, after all, carries the word "special operations" in its name and is an elite force of the Northern Army, so its combat effectiveness is definitely not a problem.

If there's anything lacking between them and the People's Volunteer Army, it's perhaps only their will or their beliefs.

noon.

Shen Yan had just rested for half an hour and eaten a bite of food.

He led the soldiers of the Special Forces Battalion into the room for the "Songgu Peak Blockade Battle," then entered the key to start the game.

The screen gradually went black, then lit up again.

The familiar battlefield came into view, and the words "[Battle of Songgu Peak]" lit up before slowly fading away.

Shen Yan was about to speak when he was a little confused because there were only ten people next to him, while the others were members of the People's Volunteer Army.

"What about the rest?"

What Shenyang and the others didn't know was that, due to the limited number of personnel in the Songgufeng Blockade Battle, the other 140 soldiers were divided into groups of 10 and joined the People's Volunteer Army in the new Songgufeng Blockade Battle.

Suddenly, the voice of a soldier from the Chinese People's Volunteer Army rang in my ears:

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"

"We absolutely cannot let those foreign devils get past!"

Shen Yan's side also immediately entered battle mode.

After so many battles, we have basically become familiar with the routes and ideas of the opposing US forces.

Since they couldn't get past Sansuoli, the US military had to pass through Songgufeng, a crucial point, to retreat from Longyuanli and reach Longyuanli.

Only by holding the US troops firmly at this point can the People's Volunteer Army troops on the outer perimeter have time to form an encirclement and annihilate these US troops here.

Shen Yan quickly arrived at the designated location and stared intently at the road corner below.

boom--!
Accompanied by a gunshot:
"beat!!!"

Scattered on the hillside, Shen Yan and his men began to attack the vanguard of the American forces below.

Gunfire erupted incessantly, and the American troops, caught off guard, were quickly surrounded by the lead vehicles, while the tanks behind them had already turned their turrets around.

It was aimed at the hillside.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of the People's Volunteer Army's demolition team, who were lying in ambush below, had quietly crept up to the rear of the tank.

While its turret was aimed at the hillside, it was successfully blown up and rendered useless.

But this is just the beginning.

There were still more than five hours to go.

Hour 2. After repelling several US attacks, the US forces began to adjust their strategy.

First, they used artillery fire to cover the entire position, then ordered the tank units to surround and bombard the position, and then the infantry crept up the hillside.

Shen Yan's group of 10 men gradually dispersed due to the shelling and ended up in the three platoons of 789, joining the People's Volunteer Army from three directions to block the enemy.

They repelled five small-scale attacks in a row, and it seemed the enemy was about to retreat.

The People's Volunteer Army of the Republic hurriedly dug trenches during the air raid, but American bombers were already flying overhead.

The bombing, which lasted for more than 20 minutes, shredded at least half an inch off the ground.

After the air raid ended, Shen Yan shook off the dust and stood up.

In the sky.

Suddenly, the sharp whistle of a cannonball rang out.

boom--! ! !
The shockwave from the explosion spread across the center of the hillside, and Shen Yan, who had just gotten up, and two volunteer soldiers were tumbled away by the blast.

"Those foreign devils are charging up again!"

"quick!"

“Grenade!!!”

Shen Yan shook off the dust, his ears ringing, picked up his rifle, and began firing short bursts at the American troops charging down the mountain.

boom! boom! boom!
Almost every shot took a life, but there were too many American soldiers on the other side; the vanguard alone numbered two thousand. The battle lasted for more than an hour before the American attack was repelled.

However, Shen Yan's heart grew colder and colder.

4th hour.

Shen Yan moved his body and hid behind the cover.

The entire hillside had been plowed countless times by artillery shells, riddled with countless craters. Shen Yan suddenly thought of something inexplicably:
"Fuck it"

"There's no need to dig trenches anymore."

Some of the craters were deep enough to bury a person.

Taking advantage of a brief respite from the air raid, Shen Yan observed the situation of the People's Volunteer Army around him and felt a sinking feeling in his heart; they had already lost more than half their men.

The casualties seem to be no different from those of his 7th Brigade.

With just over two hours left, Shen Yan took a deep breath, shook his head, and prepared to focus on the battle.

At this time.

The roar of airplanes filled the sky again, and Shen Yan cursed under his breath:
"rough!"

They quickly took cover in the trenches, and bombers dropped bombs from the sky, this time including many incendiary bombs.

The bombing lasted for more than ten minutes.

The entire Third Company position was turned into a sea of ​​fire.

5th hour.

The shelling finally stopped.

The only sounds on the hillside were the crackling of burning, twisted gun barrels, charred corpses, and thick black smoke billowing into the sky, blocking out the sunlight.

Corpses were everywhere, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of burning flesh.

thump!
A US soldier's body was pushed aside. Shen Yan reached out, trembling, and tried to get up, but failed several times.

At this time.

My body was suddenly tugged, and a slightly childish voice sounded in my ear:

"Are you alright? Get up quickly."

Then they helped Shen Yan up. Shen Yan turned his head and saw a soldier from the People's Volunteer Army of the Republic. However, the soldier's young voice surprised Shen Yan.

After I sat up straight, before I could even ask anything, a young soldier from the Chinese People's Volunteer Army handed me half a pancake:

"Eat quickly."

"If we're well-fed, we can beat those foreign devils."

A smile appeared on Shen Yan's face:
"Thank you."

Shen Yan took the pancake, took a bite, and then looked around at the surrounding positions. Could they really hold out for another hour?
At this time.

Suddenly remembering something, Shen Yan looked at the young volunteer soldier of the Republic and asked:

"Young man, how old are you?"

The young soldier was bandaging his leg when he heard Shen Yan's question. He looked up and said:
"I'm 17."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes:
"so small?"

On Earth, you wouldn't find a child that age joining the army.

At that time, they were still attending federal compulsory education schools, and besides, no parent would be willing to let such a young child join the army.

The young soldier chuckled.
"I'm not young anymore, I'm old enough to get married."

Hearing this, Shen Yan chuckled:

"Is there anyone you like? How are things going?"

The young soldier said somewhat embarrassedly:

"not yet."

"Wait until we defeat the American devils, otherwise I won't have peace even after I get married."

Shen Yan was somewhat confused; what did fighting a war have to do with getting married? He couldn't help but ask:
"Fighting this American devil? What does that have to do with getting married?"

The young soldier spoke up:
"Our company commander said that if we don't fight this battle, our children and grandchildren will have to fight it."

"That makes sense when you think about it."

"We can't just get married, have children, raise them with great difficulty, and then when they're finally looking forward to getting married, having children of their own, and holding their grandchildren, the foreign devils come to invade again and send the children to the battlefield."

“We’ve had enough of this suffering; we can’t let our children and grandchildren suffer like this.”

"Only by winning can you live a peaceful life, farm, get married, and have children."

Listening to the young soldier's words, Shen Yan seemed to understand something and opened his mouth as if 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 children and grandchildren will have to.'

Shen Yan seemed to realize that the long-standing peace on Earth had created a gap between them and these volunteers from the Republic.

At this time.

The roar of bombers in the sky rose again.
