The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

The lines on the beach are still growing.

Troops retreating from the front were pouring in along the road, including a large number of wounded soldiers. There weren't enough trucks or stretchers, so many soldiers had to be helped by their comrades to move toward the sea.

The people behind them will go around them, and the line will continue forward.

Before he could continue his calculations, a chaotic shouting suddenly erupted outside the temporary command post.

At the end of the road, a large number of soldiers were retreating towards Dunkirk.

Gao Chi controlled Peter to step out of the bunker, and was stunned when he saw the seemingly endless rout of the army in front of him.

"What's going on?"

"The front line of defense has disappeared again?"

The sound of artillery fire in the distance grew increasingly intense.

The ground began to tremble slightly.

Gao Chi turned his gaze to the direction from which the soldiers had fled.

At the other end of the road, large plumes of black smoke were slowly rising.

Below the smoke and dust, several armored reconnaissance vehicles appeared first. Then, tanks drove out of the village one after another, followed by densely packed motorized infantry on both sides.

Fighter jets flew low overhead.

On the ground, the artillery continued to extend forward.

Armored forces, infantry, and air power advanced almost simultaneously. The French troops, who had just withdrawn, did not even have a chance to reorganize their defenses before being completely scattered by the subsequent artillery bombardment.

Gao Chi stared, his eyes wide with amazement.

"Wait a moment."

"Didn't the French army used to boast that it had the strongest army in Europe?"

"How could you give up so quickly?"

The live stream was filled with amazement.

There are way too many armored units!

Tanks have just appeared in front, and infantry and artillery are already following behind.

The French troops were completely scattered and utterly unorganized!

[We've lost air superiority, and any ground troops we assemble on will be bombed. How can we fight like this?]

A volley of shells landed on both sides of the road.

The people who had just been retreating immediately scattered in all directions. Several trucks were engulfed in flames, and thick smoke completely blocked the view behind them.

Before long, more fleeing soldiers rushed out of the smoke.

Someone was running while turning back to fire a shot.

Some people, exhausted, collapsed on the roadside and never got up again.

As Gao Chi watched the armored formations closing in, he couldn't help but gasp.

"That firepower is incredible!"

"Airplanes bomb first, then artillery bombards, and after the tanks roll in, the infantry follow up to finish them off."

"Is this a blitzkrieg against me?"

Just then, an officer walked over with a map and circled one of the locations.

"The French can't hold on any longer!"

"The German armored forces are advancing toward the canal, and the engineers will be planting explosives under the bridge."

"Lieutenant, take everyone here and head to the western canal bridge. Hold it until the last troops pass."

Gao Chi looked down at the map.

The canal bridge is quite a distance from the beach.

Gao Chi made a decisive decision: not going was not an option. However, he also knew that with the few people around him and the people in the command post, they simply couldn't stop the steel torrent in front of them.

If they stay in place to command the defense line, the result will most likely be that they will be run over by tanks.

Gao Chi stared at the map for a few seconds and suddenly realized that the armored forces would pass through a forest on their flank.

The road is narrow.

The leading vehicles were blocked by fleeing soldiers and wreckage, and their speed slowed down.

A bold idea suddenly popped into Gao Chi's mind.

If you can't win a head-on fight, then don't fight head-on.

"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass them!"

"If we sneak up from the side, take out the lead vehicle, block the road, and the rest of the force will have to stop!"

The more Gao Chi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

The German armored forces were indeed heavily armed, but the roads were only so wide. Once the vehicles at the front broke down, no matter how many tanks were behind them, they had to line up obediently.

This is the same principle as encountering traffic congestion at the entrance of a residential compound while delivering food.

If the first car doesn't move, everyone else will have to wait.

"Don't be intimidated by their numbers."

Gao Chi controlled Peter to put away the map and led the soldiers who were capable of fighting near the command post away from the warehouse.

Gao Chi glanced at the tactics panel. The five survivors who were originally with him, plus the soldiers who had just been temporarily added, now numbered about thirty.

As soon as a group of people stepped onto the road, they bumped into a group of people who were still retreating.

Under a gloomy, oppressive sky, on a muddy road, everyone was moving towards the beach.

Only Gao Chi, controlling Peter, moved against the massive crowd, heading towards the front amidst the raging gunfire.

"France doesn't need tears, but the British Empire needs takeout!!"

Gao Chi exudes a sense of high spirits and confidence.

"Everyone else is retreating, but we're going against the tide."

"What is this called? This is what it means to go even if there are thousands of people against me!"

Gao Chi led his squad through the fleeing soldiers with great difficulty, and plunged into the dense forest on the side of the highway.

The sound of tank engines in the distance grew clearer.

Gao Chi lay prone in the ditch and looked up to observe.

The flank of the German armored forces was just outside the woods.

The lead reconnaissance vehicle had already passed the village ruins, followed by several tanks and half-tracks. The number of people looked large, but the column was very long.

Gao Chi felt even more confident.

"Flexibility is key in real combat."

Gao Chi controlled Peter to continue moving towards the edge of the woods.

A dozen soldiers followed behind, some breaking tree branches, others carrying ammunition boxes, making their walk anything but quiet.

Fortunately, the distant artillery fire was loud enough to temporarily drown out their movements.

A few minutes later, Gao Chi finally arrived at the expected location.

Beyond the woods was a narrow road.

An armored reconnaissance vehicle was moving slowly forward, followed by a squad of infantry. Further away, tank turrets could be seen, but visibility was limited by wreckage and thick smoke.

Gao Chi glanced at the soldiers beside him.

"We don't seek total annihilation."

"First, disperse the infantry, then figure out how to deal with the vehicles."

"When I fire, everyone fire at once, then immediately switch positions!"

Although Peter was unable to speak freely, the nearby soldiers, seeing the lieutenant raise his gun, also ducked behind trees and embankments.

The armored reconnaissance vehicle is getting closer and closer.

Sixty meters.

Fifty meters.

The infantry behind them also came into firing range.

Gao Chi resisted the urge to fire prematurely, waiting until the enemy soldier at the front had passed a dead tree by the roadside before suddenly pulling the trigger.

boom!

The bullet struck the shoulder of the soldier at the front.

A dozen or so rifles and light machine guns opened fire almost simultaneously, and several German soldiers fell instantly, while the rest rushed to the sides of the road.

"efficient!"

Gao Chi shouted excitedly.

"Da da da da da... Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, the gun barrel spewed fire, illuminating the dim woods!

"Hahahaha! Run? You think you can outrun me? Back in the day, my customers lived on the seventh floor with no elevator, and I still ran to deliver their goods!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

As they were speaking, a game notification popped up.

[You participated in a crucial counterattack, delaying the enemy's advance.]

[German advance troops were ambushed]

Infantry cover temporarily interrupted.

The advance of the armored column was stalled.

[Battle contribution recorded: Southwest Highway Blockade]

Your actions have influenced your comrades.

Holy crap!

"This is still a crucial defensive operation!"

"Then I'd better play well!"

Gao Chi looked at the fallen German soldiers, somewhat agitated.

"Brothers, let's fight like this! After we're done, we'll retreat back into the woods. If they dare come in, we'll play hide-and-seek with them!"

Gunshots rang out from the woods.

"See that!"

"Armored forces aren't that scary!"

"They're just better equipped, as long as we..."

Before he could finish speaking, the machine gun on top of the armored reconnaissance vehicle had already turned towards the woods.

Immediately afterwards, the machine gun on the half-track behind also turned its muzzle.

Further along the road, the coaxial machine guns of several tanks opened fire almost simultaneously.

Gao Chi looked at the row of gun barrels turned towards him, and his voice suddenly became softer.

"Wait a minute."

"Why are you looking at them all?"

The next second, the entire stretch of highway opened fire simultaneously.

A hail of machine gun bullets swept into the woods in an instant.

Bark, branches, and soil were blown away in large swaths, and more than a dozen lines of fire crisscrossed the area where Gao Chi was located.

"Bang bang bang!"

A barrage of firepower was unleashed.

Less than a minute!

It really only took less than sixty seconds!

Gao Chi opened the tactics panel, and his dozens of henchmen, who had been lively just moments before, had their portraits turned mostly red in an instant under the barrage of fire, which was like scraping a finger. They had all been wiped out in the woods!

"Holy crap! This is brutal slaughter! It's a one-sided massacre!"

"Faced with overwhelming firepower, hiding in these trees is completely useless!"

"However... my teammate is dead, and I have no intention of explaining right or wrong! I'll fight to the death!"
