The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

The mixed operation mode of the three East Asian countries has officially begun.

Chapter 67: The Volunteer Army's Blitzkrieg

(Second update! There will be a third update)

"Comrades, the Soviet Union has become revisionist. Now we must attack it!"

The player shouted "We are not responsible" in the communication channel, along with an emoticon of the Red Army conquering the Kremlin.

This was of course photoshopped, and then this picture was stolen by a bunch of players and started to flood the screen with comments.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!! The Mongols have started, I must gather the troops immediately!"

"If you want to fight Su Xiu, Yuecheng will definitely come to your aid!"

"Down with Soviet revisionism! We will hoist the flag of victory over the Kremlin!"

"No more talking, I've already gone there, my destination is Ulaanbaatar!"

Just when the whole world thought that the Volunteer Army would calm down for a while after taking Harbin and offending both Japan and the Soviet Union, the Volunteer Army did not do that at all. Instead, it began to advance towards Ulaanbaatar in the harsh weather of Mongolia.

It is now January 1939 and the temperature in Mongolia is minus 1 degrees Celsius.

Frankly speaking, the Soviet army was in a state of panic. They had to fight the volunteers in such terrible weather. They were just resistant to the cold, not immune to the cold.

Although the Soviet army had matching winter equipment, these equipment only reduced the restrictions on the Soviet army in winter, not allowing the Soviet army to sweep across Western Europe like a cheat in winter. If it really got that cold, even the T-34 would be unable to operate.

The volunteer army actually encountered the same problem, but the problem was that they had nano-welding guns, and they could weld wherever the problem occurred.

What made the Soviet army even more devastated was that the Volunteer Army was advancing non-stop. When the players were offline, NPC commanders and fighters would set up tanks to continue the assault. These usually taciturn soldiers had incredible endurance and were simply not carbon-based creatures (Liu Qi: In a sense, this is true).

So the Soviet reconnaissance results showed that the Volunteer Army was advancing in the morning and in the evening. In short, they were advancing day and night at a rapid pace.

Nomonhan is 950 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar, but this is the straight-line distance. The actual moving distance is more than 1,000 kilometers. However, the armored forces of the Volunteer Army are advancing at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and they did not stop in the middle. In two days, they were almost at the gates of the city.

The Soviet 57th Special Army stationed on the Sino-Mongolian border had no idea the situation would deteriorate so quickly. They thought the enemy would destroy the tower first, but they went straight for the fountain. They had to change base before they even started fighting!?

Although the Soviet army also wanted to play a game of "you fight yours, I fight mine", but after seeing the miraculous marching efficiency of the Volunteer Army and looking at Harbin, which was separated from them by northern Inner Mongolia under the ice and snow, they chose to pursue and kill the Volunteer Army.

Even in the old forests of Northeast China in this weather, Zelensky would not dare to give such a brazen order.

Then the Soviet army encountered the same problem as the Japanese army and could not catch up at all.

At this time of year, what everyone should do is hibernate instead of "leaving with you thousands of miles away". When the Japanese army came to support Harbin, they could forcibly recruit local Chinese as laborers. But if the Soviet army wanted to return to Ulaanbaatar from the Sino-Mongolian border, it could only do it on its own and join the limited local Mongolian People's Army. There was no way to find more people.

Mongolia, with its vast territory and sparse population, taught them a bitter lesson.

Want to move forward? Dig your own.

As a result, the Soviet army was forced to transform into a snow-clearing brigade and move towards Ulaanbaatar with difficulty.

Then, without any surprise, the volunteer army's bombers came to say hello to them.

"Air raid! Get down! Get down!"

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia was very average, or it could be said that it perfectly matched the lives of their opponents. Faced with the cordial greetings of hundreds of Stukas and Stuka cannon birds of the Volunteer Army, they soon had to fight on their own. However, the reason why the Soviet army was more tenacious than the Japanese army was that their political commissars really dared to lead by example and used machine guns as anti-aircraft machine guns, and other Soviet troops quickly united around these Soviet political commissars and fought back with various weapons.

However, this brought another problem. When they huddled together, they became bigger targets, and the players had more fun catching French fries. A heavy bomb was dropped, and wow, double-digit kills were achieved.

The Soviet Union did not lack fighter jets, but they were all old I-15s and some I-16s. The former was a biplane, and the latter was an old friend used by the Volunteer Army before. The Volunteer Army itself had a very good understanding of their performance. When these Soviet aircraft appeared on the battlefield, the Volunteer Army easily beat them to the point where they could not take care of themselves.

Because player pilots can resupply in the sky at any time, the fighters and bombers piloted by players have unlimited range and unlimited ammunition, and can also weld and repair themselves in the cockpit. Players will not evacuate until the Soviet troops on the ground are completely dispersed and the bombing efficiency plummets to a loss.

The Soviet army then reported very outrageous data. They were continuously bombed by the Volunteer Army's Stuka bombers for a full six hours, and their heavy equipment was completely lost, with more than half of their personnel killed or wounded.

When the General Staff of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army received the news, they looked at the documents in a subway, with old people and mobile phones.

At first they thought that the Volunteer Army had launched many rounds of air strikes, but after further confirmation, they found that the Volunteer Army's bombers had an outrageous endurance. They could run at full speed and firepower on the battlefield and fight the entire field. They were always in full condition, which made people wonder whether the Stuka had a machine soul that could get supplies from the subspace.

The Soviet General Staff in 1939 certainly had never played Warhammer 40K, so they immediately concluded that Germany must have made some remarkable technological progress, and then the relevant technology was stolen by the Volunteer Army.

Immediately afterwards, all Soviet intelligence agencies received a new task - to find a way to obtain German engine technology at all costs!

How to say it, the process judgment was correct, but the result was completely wrong.

This led to the Soviet Union believing for a long time that Germany had a direct connection with the Volunteer Army and provided many advanced weapons to the Volunteer Army, thus misjudging Germany's military strength.

For example, Soviet engineers concluded that the German army had the ability to build super bombers with a bomb load of at least 1,000 tons and a range of more than 300,000 kilometers, which could reduce Soviet Far Eastern cities to scorched earth.

How should I put it? If you put a player on a pesticide machine, you can get such exaggerated data. The point is not the technology, but the players who are cheating in this world.

But neither the Soviet Union nor Germany knew about this, and both sides began to become wildly suspicious of each other.

Germany suspected that the Soviet Union had stolen its technology through the Volunteer Army, and the Soviet Union believed that Germany had highly confidential black technology.

Both directions went to belong to yes.

After realizing that Mongolia could not be defended, the Soviet side immediately made adjustments. The first was to dispatch Zhukov to Mongolia. It would be best if Mongolia could be recaptured, but if not, at least the Soviet Union's Eurasian Railway had to be guaranteed not to be threatened. In other words, the battlefield should be controlled in Mongolia as much as possible. If that was not possible, at least important node cities along the railway should not be lost, such as Chita.

Zhukov knew that he was given the task in a time of crisis, so after receiving the order, he immediately began to allocate military supplies to the Far East and replenish troops at the same time, because Mongolia’s 57th Special Army had been crippled by the Volunteer Army’s crazy and precise bombing. Relying solely on those local recruits would definitely not be able to stop the Volunteer Army who treated the Japanese army like ants.

But the problem remains: it takes time to mobilize troops, and the Volunteer Army is already shelling Ulaanbaatar.

"Did Choibalsan escape?" Zhukov asked.

The accompanying staff officer shook his head: "It's not clear yet."

Zhukov sighed: "I hope he can get out."

Although Choibalsan's ability is average, he is still obedient. The Soviet Union is very satisfied with this puppet. For the sake of local stability in Mongolia, he will not be replaced in a short period of time. After all, there are not many local candidates who can control the situation.

But now the Soviet Union is powerless to rescue people. The sky is full of volunteer army planes. Not long ago, a Soviet reconnaissance plane discovered a volunteer army reconnaissance plane near Chita.

People have started blocking the door and conducting reconnaissance. The situation is serious.

So what is Choibalsan doing now?

He was thinking about how to escape and whether he could talk to the volunteers.

To survive or to perish, you have no choice.

If it were not for the support of the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolia would have no ability to be independent and any warlord in the Central Plains could have beaten it up. But now, facing the volunteer army with more planes and artillery, Choibalsan felt that his loyalty to China was not beyond negotiation.

Of course, the best option is to run away quickly, but if he could run away, he would have run away long ago. How could he wait until the door was blocked by the volunteers?

Two days ago they were at Nomonhan, and two days later they were attacking Ulaanbaatar. It was a joyful moment on the grassland in the middle of winter. It was more than a thousand kilometers, and even Genghis Khan didn’t dare to make such a strategic detour. Many Mongolians in the city felt that the volunteers were gods who had descended to earth. It was not as simple as applying for asylum, but that they were gods who came to kill them because they had betrayed their former motherland.

Don't doubt it, such ideas definitely had a market in Outer Mongolia at that time. After all, the Mongolians had long evolved from being brave and good at fighting to being good at singing and dancing. Expecting the scimitars and horses of the old era to pierce the torrent of steel seemed a bit like being tired of life.

As for holding on to Ulaanbaatar, can we talk about something realistic?

Cities on the grassland do not have the defensive walls of cities in the Central Plains dynasties, not to mention Ulaanbaatar in 1939. This city is indeed very large on the grassland, but Outer Mongolia’s foundation is too poor. Not long ago, it was dominated by the scattered religious rule of nomadic tribes. In the Kulun era (the old name of Ulaanbaatar), the population here barely reached 60,000, which was considered a nomadic city. You can say that you can hold meetings in tents here. There are very few reinforced concrete buildings. It only began to gradually increase after the Soviets came. The total population of Ulaanbaatar is now less than 100,000.

These people, without any systematic city defense fortifications, defended their country against the heavy artillery of the Volunteer Army. Does Choibalsan have any unrealistic fantasies about the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian People's Army?

Soon, Choibalsan no longer had to worry about whether to surrender, because the armored forces of the Volunteer Army had begun armed demolition of Ulaanbaatar.

Section 68: The Japanese Army Gradually Becomes French

(Third update! Where are everyone’s votes and comments?)

"Hey, this is Anna, we found Choibalsan-chan~"

"Anna, stop being cute at a time like this."

“I didn’t, but…”

"Anna really didn't act cute this time, because... Choibalsan has really become something."

The Quantum Girl sighed. Just now, when the two of them were playing Girls und Panzer, they didn't notice that the KV-152 had directly crushed the outer wall of the building, which had no defense to begin with. This was the office of the government of the Mongolian People's Republic, and Choibalsan was right inside.

Old soldiers never die, they just stick to the tracks a bit.

The guards in the office were already lying down, killed by the NPC officers and soldiers who coordinated the tank charge. The scene was in complete chaos. As for the combat objective, it was achieved, but the reward for killing was not as much as that for being captured.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect such an inconspicuous building to be the office of the Mongolian puppet government."

Anna was indeed quite aggrieved. The tank driver's observation field of view was limited. Her field of vision was either blocked by buildings or other messy things. She had to pay attention to her position before breaking through the wall. However, in an emergency situation, she could only step on the accelerator and rush forward, and then consider other things.

This is why infantry and tanks need to coordinate. Under the technical conditions at the time, the surrounding infantry were the observation windows of the tanks, their extended eyes. At critical moments, they were also needed to remind the tank drivers how to move by knocking on the tank armor, knocking hard, smashing it randomly, anyway, the most important thing was to let the sound be heard inside.

“It’s really quite inconspicuous.”

The quantum girl shrugged. Along the way, they encountered basically no obstacles that could stop the KV-152 tank from advancing. The biggest obstacle was the steep slope of earth formed after the collapse of the building, but that could be solved by taking a slight detour.

The resistance of the local Mongolian People's Army was not worth mentioning. It was severely damaged by the Soviet Great Purge. Choibalsan wiped out one-sixth of the population in Mongolia, which made the Mongolian army, which already had many remnants of the old era, completely become useless. Now the resistance in Ulaanbaatar has basically stopped. A large number of Mongolian People's Army soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered, or threw away their weapons and uniforms and hid.

The entire battle took less than half a day, and the volunteers did not even use many heavy weapons.

"Call it a day, call it a day. This is such a pile of garbage. It's not even good enough to score points."

The player "Dayu" spat in dissatisfaction, then took his team to clean up the battlefield to see if there was any fun to be found, which is also one of the sources of joy in the game.

The degree of freedom in "Age of War" is too high, and players will unknowingly become deeply involved in it during the process of playing it.

There are already many players who basically stay in the game cabin except for things that require them to go out. Anyway, the income provided by Fenghuo Company is enough for them to give an explanation to their families, and they can also pay the maximum amount of five social insurances and one housing fund. They are protected now and in the future, and there is no need for them to work like slaves.

More and more players have started to think, "Is this still a game?", but only a few actually put it into practice to find the answer. However, as time goes by, changes will eventually occur.

Liu Qi was waiting for that moment.

After liberating Ulaanbaatar, the Volunteer Army announced the results of the battle to the outside world, and then declared that Outer Mongolia has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. Anyone who dares to cede it to any country for any reason is a sinner of the Chinese nation!

When this news was released, governments around the world were stunned. They really couldn't understand how the volunteer army accomplished this series of miracles.

The British military did some calculations. If they wanted to achieve such brilliant results in the Far East in the cold winter with their current equipment and combat power, they would need at least 500,000 elite troops, plus an equal amount of logistical supplies. The Royal Navy would have to provide assistance with all its strength, and they would have to seize at least one port that could transport large amounts of supplies. In this way, they would have hope of achieving similar results in a year, and this expenditure would put the British treasury directly into the ICU.

As for what awaits them after victory, the British calculated that their expenses would outweigh their gains.

"Either those volunteers are superhuman, or they have some advanced technology that we don't know about, otherwise it's impossible for the human body to do such a thing!"

This is the conclusion reached by British experts.

The implication is that no matter what the gentlemen in London think, we can never do it ourselves, and we just can't do it.

However, the success of the Volunteer Army became a reason for Churchill to attack British Prime Minister Chamberlain.

"Look, everyone, look! If the yellow monkeys in the Far East can do this, can't the warriors of our British Empire do it? If not, then why not? There must be enemies of the Empire within the government. They are the ones preventing the Empire from achieving what even the yellow monkeys can't!"

It sounds like a rather nonsensical accusation, but that's what the bigwigs in old London like to hear.

They were immersed in the illusion that the British Empire was still invincible and were unwilling to wake up. They subjectively ignored the objective damage caused to Britain by World War I, believing that all this was just a small technical adjustment, and that the future world order would still be forged by the great achievements of the British Empire in pointing the way and stirring up trouble all over the world.

In a sense, these people became Churchill's base. They felt that Churchill was tough enough to satisfy their fantasy of the invincibility of the British Empire.

For Churchill, the big figures on the stage only needed to work hard to govern the country, but as the person who would make Britain great again in the future, he had to consider a lot. So he was very successful during this period. In addition, the European situation at that time helped his tough attitude, and he really achieved good results, even surpassing Chamberlain.

It was because the toilet paper Chamberlain brought back in 1938 did not make the British people feel safe.

Peace for a generation? (x)

The graveyard of a generation! (?)-p

But no matter how the British argue, they cannot influence the situation in the Far East. The most anxious and angry ones now are the Soviet Union and Japan. The former is because of the loss of Mongolia, and the latter is because the volunteer army is built too fast.

The reconnaissance photos brought back by the Japanese reconnaissance plane at the risk of their lives showed that a huge monster that had never been seen before appeared near the station in Harbin City.

Comparing it with the photos of Xuanyue Cannon in Shanghai, there is no doubt that this is its relative!

The Japanese army was terrified, and even a fool knew where this thing would be used next.

Harbin and Changchun are directly connected by rail (very meaningful).

"This monster must be destroyed, at any cost!"

The Emperor was furious, and new orders were quickly issued. A large number of new fighter planes were allocated to the Kwantung Army as soon as they came off the production line. The headquarters even dismantled the aircraft production line capable of producing Ki-100 Thunder fighters from the mainland and transferred it to Shenyang to realize the local production of advanced fighter planes, while also doing its best to train pilots.

In response to this, some old Japanese soldiers on the front line who had participated in the Third Battle of Shanghai could only smile bitterly.

They had seen this scene before in Shanghai. In order to defend Shanghai and destroy the advancing Xuanyue Cannon, the Japanese army invested all the war resources they could in a short period of time, and then they were eaten up bit by bit by the Volunteer Army. In the end, the Japanese army's advanced equipment was lost, while the Volunteer Army was still attacking with great momentum.

It really doesn’t matter how many tricks you have, as long as they work.

At this time, the volunteer army in Harbin was still busy, mainly building railways.

Damn it! Can you guys fix it in this awful weather?

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

As long as the warehouses are full of resources, the railway will be built to the Tianshan Mountains.

The volunteer army is now using a resource-consuming method to force its way up, and the players have also discovered that their magical little welding guns can also be used for infrastructure construction, so many buildings are first made into a rough framework, and then the players directly take the welding guns and start working, getting the rest of the work done in minutes, and they are even stronger than those built honestly with real materials.

Nonsense, the materials used to help those buildings complete the subsequent processing steps are nanorobots. This is still the lowest-end primary version, not even the basic version. It has been castrated countless times. The advanced versions in Liu Qi's hands are all used to build Dyson spheres. Building houses and railways with them now is already a waste of resources.
