The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

As for the problem of melting the roadbed before building roads on frozen soil, it is even simpler. Use a flamethrower first, spray a little bit and build it up. If the road is too hard, use explosives directly. Equivalent is justice.

The result was that the construction of the Volunteer Army's forward railway was earth-shattering, with various explosions taking place every day. The Japanese soldiers along the way who could vaguely hear the sounds felt increasing pressure.

Everyone knew that the volunteers were advancing, even in such terrible weather, they were still advancing.

This is not an army made up of humans, this is an army of ghosts and gods!

Even some Japanese soldiers had privately begun to spread the word that the volunteer army was ghosts and gods from hell, because Japan's actions had angered the great gods of the Central Plains, so they came to take them to hell.

Do you think that even the logical chain of this statement was figured out by me?

However, under the blows of absolute failure again and again, the low morale of the Japanese army easily gave rise to all kinds of fantasies. People are best at scaring themselves. In addition, they did try their best in fighting the volunteers, but still failed, and the defeat was so miserably and irreversibly. Therefore, the idea that "the volunteers are ghosts and gods" began to spread among the Japanese army.

Some Japanese soldiers secretly began to carve small figures of the Volunteer Army, and then prayed every day that they would not go to hell after being killed by the Volunteer Army. If these people encounter the Volunteer Army on the battlefield in the future, they will probably all surrender.

Such a large-scale crisis of faith was naturally quickly noticed by the middle and upper echelons of the Japanese army.

"Baga! Is this something the empire's warriors would do?" Kenkichi Ueda was furious.

As a smart old devil, he knew too well what the army would become if this kind of thinking spread. He had to find a way to stop it immediately, otherwise the Japanese soldiers would become French soldiers!

How do we do this?

Chapter 69: Don’t stop!

(Fourth update! It's all burned out, I hope everyone has votes and comments)

The fascist army's method of motivating its soldiers is actually very simple: drugs and sex.

The Japanese army had a comfort women system, and with enough drug "treatment", it was absolutely possible to make the soldiers forget their troubles!

After World War II, the Japanese treated the United States as their son, and they really believed that "if we are not from the same family, we will live under the same door." The bad things they did were all the same, while the United States was a more advanced cyberpunk version.

The Japanese military's comfort stations were soon overcrowded, and various courage-boosting drugs were distributed in large quantities.

Since soldiers will have wild thoughts, don't let their brains think about things they shouldn't think about. Let them just waste their excess energy on women and drugs. The only knowledge needed on the battlefield is the body they dare to "go on board".

In other words, humans currently do not have the technology to transform machine slaves, otherwise the Japanese government would have to popularize it on a large scale in the military.

This method is indeed effective, but it is only relatively effective, and it is only useful for the infantry, which is the largest in number and has the lowest technical requirements. Technical soldiers cannot be used. At most, they can go to comfort stations. The Japanese military is slightly more rational than the US military in that they know that it is a very scary thing for technical soldiers to take drugs. -p

Imagine a fighter jet with a drug-addled pilot, definitely driving an uncontrollable cruise missile under the influence. If the drug addiction kicks in at a critical moment, it would be too much fun.

By the same token, if artillerymen get high and start firing everywhere, that would be an even more terrifying story.

Therefore, only the cheapest infantry can be given this treatment. Technical soldiers will still be limited in prescribing medicines. At least they will not be given such terrifyingly large doses to flush out their brains, because technical soldiers need a functioning human brain.

The people under the most pressure in the Japanese army at this time were the pilots, because they had to undertake the task of destroying the "National Beng Cannon". According to the experience of those predecessors who survived Shanghai, the probability of completing this task was basically equal to the bragging story promised by John Khan every week. You can think about it, but it is best to think about it in dreams.

At first, some young Japanese pilots thought that the veterans were timid and it was time to shock these cowards with their superb skills.

They did it indeed. They flew up, headed forward, attacked, and died, all in one go. In an instant, they became the most brilliant fragments in the sky. Their smoothness impressed many elite Japanese pilots.

During the Battle of Shanghai (the Japanese name for the Third Battle of Shanghai), they had never seen supplies delivered so quickly.

None of the Japanese pilots in the sky mourned for their fallen comrades. The next to arrive at the battlefield to die was the bomber formation. They were in high spirits, with onboard turbans tied on their heads. They wanted to bomb with style, bomb with skill, bomb with... Their fingers were blown into fireworks in the sky by the volunteers.

After two days of operations, the Japanese lost more than 300 aircraft but still failed to achieve their goal.

Judging from the photos, the Volunteer Army’s Xuanyue Cannon has begun to be capped and it won’t be long before it can be deployed to roam the world.

The huge losses forced the Japanese army to think of other tactics, so they set their sights on the railway.

"Although the Guobeng Cannon is terrifying, it is, after all, a railway gun. Since it is a railway gun, it can only move along the railway. As long as we destroy a large area of ​​the railway built by the Volunteer Army, we can make the Guobeng Cannon unable to move!"

The Japanese military staff officer's suggestion won applause and everyone agreed.

is that useful?

In fact, everyone knows that this is at most a delaying effect and cannot stop the advance of the Xuanyue Cannon at all. But after the plan is modified, the pilots do not have to go to a place where they are sure to die, and they can also explain to their superiors, killing two birds with one stone.

At this time, even the Japanese army themselves did not realize that their combat goal against the Volunteer Army had changed from the initial "complete annihilation" to the current "just hold on", emphasizing that as long as they hold on firmly, there will be a way.

I don't know if there is a way, but it is indeed a good way to report to the superiors. Through the photos of the bombing effects, the headquarters did see the efforts of the Kwantung Army and also commended the pilots on the front line.

What did the Volunteer Army say?

At the beginning, the players were indeed very unhappy. After all, repairing the railway in the snowy environment in winter is a very hard task, but soon the players made new discoveries.

As long as I start building the railway here, the Japanese planes will come to harass me. In other words, as long as I don't stop, the road will be continuous... cough cough cough, the Japanese planes will come to harass me continuously!

And this is a good thing!!!

Oh my, then this railway really needs to be built.

So the players immediately changed their strategy. Among the workers who were repairing the railways on the front line, a large group of air combat Brahmin players mixed in. When the Japanese planes were not coming, they would act as welding engineers. If the Japanese planes came, they would take out the transformation device... and directly activate the air combat mode. The fighter jets that were instantly teleported to high altitudes would immediately transfer the control to Tieyu. What followed was a hearty dark duel. Let's bet on it!

But the Japanese were not good at playing with bots, and they soon discovered that the Volunteer Army was using their tactics in reverse, so the frequency of attacks plummeted immediately. The players' happiness lasted for less than a week, and the Japanese began to fool people by fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, which made the players very dissatisfied and forced them to find other fun.

For example, flying a bomber to cause trouble for the Japanese.

This type of aircraft guerrilla warfare was so novel that it developed an unprecedented blue ocean market, defined a new track, and launched a gorgeous combination of punches, increasing the Japanese army's perception and successfully achieving excellent results in future market development.

Translated into adult language, it means: The Japanese can't stand the harassment anymore.

After all, under normal circumstances, who would use bombers and heavy artillery for tactical harassment? The volunteer army's guerrilla warfare on the Korean Peninsula was carried out with mortars and tanks, which at least can move. You can try changing to B-4 howitzers.

But players are different.

They came here by plane, and this is only the first stage of the battle. If the plane is shot down, don't worry, the second stage of the battle has just begun. The players sitting in the cabin will directly choose to make an emergency landing nearby. As long as they are not smashed to pieces during the fall, it will be a small matter of giving themselves an injection. It doesn't matter if they die, at least they still have three lives to squander.

Trivia: Unless all three lives are lost or the player chooses to be resurrected later, they can choose to be resurrected at any location within a radius of 100 meters around the corpse. If a resurrection beacon is deployed in advance, it will be even simpler and they can be teleported on the spot.

So the players started to harass the Japanese troops in Changchun in groups of two or three, making them live in fear of not knowing when they would die.

Through repeated attacks and tests on Changchun, the players gradually got to know the city thoroughly.

Then they discovered that they could completely change their combat strategy to liberate Changchun.

Chapter 70: The Fourth Disaster Also Has Feelings

(Fifth update! I've completely burned out. This time I really have nothing left. If you still have something, whether it's tickets, coins, or comments, please show some appreciation.)

Qiqihar, the hometown of the caracal Lin Luan.

This refers to Qiqihar in 2025. This Qiqihar in the parallel world should be considered a meal replacement for him.

Tuman Lin Luan finally realized his dream of liberating his hometown with his own hands.

But the result was a little bumpy.

"Oh, I didn't mean to do that. Who knew it would turn out like this?"

Tumanlin Luan stood on the ruins of Qiqihar Railway Station. This historic and unique railway station had now become a two-dimensional plane.

When this railway station was officially opened to traffic, the Manqing was still there and it was considered a local landmark.

As a child born in Qiqihar, Tu Ma Lin Luan’s clearest memory of this railway station when he was a child was traveling from here to Harbin to visit relatives. At that time, there were salesmen pushing dining carts and selling food on the green trains. The hot dog buns with handles wrapped in sausages were really delicious.

But now, this railway station, which is shaped like the Chinese character "中", has forever turned into a pile of ruins on a physical level.

There is nothing we can do about this.

The battle to liberate Qiqihar was mainly fought around the railway line. The Japanese soldiers put up a stubborn resistance at the railway station. The volunteers, who never tolerated the enemy, directly used heavy weapons. Amid the roar of 152 and 203, the Qiqihar railway station in this world disappeared from the memory of Tumanlin Luan.

Although it is a bit sentimental, it is a necessary sacrifice.

Moreover, although the overall appearance of the Qiqihar Railway Station in 1939 is very similar to what Tuman Lin Luan remembered as a child, there are still big differences in the details. Moreover, this is just the Qiqihar Railway Station in another world. The role of the meal replacement is to help him reminisce about his childhood, that's all.

"It doesn't matter. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. We will build a better Qiqihar Railway Station, bigger and cooler than this one!"

The chaos in the caracal forest is not just a casual remark. Although the players are the terrifying fourth plague, leaving war and ruins everywhere they go, they are also the most efficient builders.

Because the goal of the Volunteer Army is to recover all the land occupied by China during the Tsarist Russia period, the area of ​​the three northeastern provinces will become very exaggerated in the future, and may even become the fourth or even fifth northeastern provinces.

By that time, the importance of Qiqihar as a transportation hub will be fully demonstrated, and Qiqihar will definitely develop better in the future.

What's more, the volunteer army had a very efficient and willingly used labor force - Japanese prisoners of war and captured puppet troops.

The most optimistic outcome of the trial for this group of people would be at least five years of reform through labor. Excluding those war criminals and militarist trash who had to be shot to appease the public anger, some of the remaining people would definitely be sent to reform through labor until death. Let their corpses pave the road to development in the Northeast.

This is their honor. At least the kind-hearted volunteers gave them a chance to atone for their sins instead of really turning the whole of Japan into a huge Jingguan.

Although it is quite exciting to do so, history has proven that an army that engages in large-scale massacres will themselves become beasts with no way back, and eventually everyone will rush to hell together.

There is no way. Human individuals are so complex and sophisticated. A country composed of countless individuals is full of countless system bugs that can be imagined or unimagined.

All in all, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous.

Just as cities and villages north of Harbin, Heilongjiang were liberated, the players held an internal meeting to discuss the strategic concept of liberating Changchun.

"I wonder if everyone has noticed? We can completely capture Changchun directly through a large-scale airborne landing. The current climate makes it impossible for the Japanese to quickly send reinforcements. We can completely use our special abilities as players to land in Changchun at night!"

"Sounds like an exciting plan, I agree!"

"The plan itself is indeed very feasible, but I would like to add one more piece of information: the Japanese reinforcements to Changchun have increased to over 10."

"Why are there so many devils?"

"Yeah, that's unscientific. Could the Japanese be braving the ice and snow like us and rushing forward at a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers a day?"

"Of course, the Japanese don't have that ability, but after the reinforcements sent to Harbin were withdrawn midway, they basically squeezed into Changchun. So even without any external support, Changchun can be considered heavily guarded now."

"That is to say, it's simply unrealistic for us players to take Changchun in one fell swoop."

"We should have no problem taking it, but I don't know if you've noticed. If we can't control a city's key sectors in the shortest possible time, the Japanese will have ample time to destroy them and evacuate. Once the production lines in those factories and the resources in their warehouses are destroyed, they will completely become the cost of this war. Although we can use our in-game points to exchange for various supplies, our points are not infinite after all."

"Isn't the Nanjing Liberated Area now able to regularly produce points every month? Those points can be used to rebuild the city."

"Forget it, that's impossible. Think about what happened to Shanghai during the Battle of Songhu."

"And it's not just Shanghai; the entire Songhu area needs to undergo large-scale reconstruction. The points generated by the Nanjing Liberated Area must first be used for local restoration construction."

"That's the thing. Right now, the Nanjing Liberated Area is in ruins, but liberating all of China is our top priority. So, even if it's difficult, the Nanjing Liberated Area will contribute at least half of its points to aid the liberation of Northeast China."

"The comrades in the Nanjing Liberated Area are truly magnanimous!"

"This is the true meaning of a national chess game."

"We must resolutely resist this attitude of not caring about what happens elsewhere as long as I have more money in my pocket."

"That's right, we must make the policy of the rich leading the poor a truly effective good policy."

"There will be no more Shanghai Kingdom! All provinces must share both adversity and happiness!"

"Very good. With these points from the Nanjing Liberated Area, we can act more boldly."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and do it. My sword is thirsty for it."

"Don't be impatient yet. If we want to truly liberate Changchun, we must not only strengthen our own forces, but also need the help of the local people and make full use of the local armed forces."

At this point, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Until one player asked quietly, "So, those local conscripts, who only have one life and have only been trained to level 3, are going to be dragged to the front lines to be consumed."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the players felt so heartbroken that they couldn't breathe.

No, no, it doesn't matter how many times I die, but the three-star soldiers I trained with great difficulty cannot suffer any losses!

The vast majority of players are loss-averse. After all, everything in the game is created by their own efforts. No matter how much these things are worth in the eyes of others, anyone who dares to touch the elite troops created by the players with great effort must be severely punished on the spot.

"I know everyone cherishes the elite troops they've trained, but War Age is no ordinary game. At least I personally feel that the NPCs in this game truly have their own lives. Those young warriors we've re-armed also yearn for merit and honor, and they also hope to liberate their hometown with their own hands."

There was another relatively long silence, until someone broke the silence with cursing.

"Damn it, why is there so much trouble when I'm just playing a game!"

"Well, I just don't want to see these NPCs really separated by life and death, so I don't want to send them to the front lines."

"This game is really just a game. I can hardly tell the difference anymore. I really can't tell the difference anymore."

Only then did the players realize that they had unknowingly been deeply integrated into the world of the game, and regarded those NPCs as important people who needed to be protected.

"Perhaps it's because we haven't experienced the feeling of being needed, respected, and loved in real life, so we are like this..."

The following words stopped abruptly, but every player already had his or her own answer in his or her heart.

Chapter 71: This is the real power

(First update, there will be more later).

Friends who often participated in the Russo-Ukrainian War know that the most common troops on the battlefield are line-filling troops. The elite level of this type of troops is definitely not comparable to the main offensive force, but they must at least be able to withstand the enemy's attack, that is, defense is the main focus.
