The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

Zhukov had a blank expression on his face. Although what the staff officer said made a lot of sense, if he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate at this critical juncture, the entire Far Eastern Front might be in chaos. The blow to morale would be even more devastating than the bombing by the Volunteer Army. Of course, the spies still had to be caught, but they could only be caught secretly inside the army, and no big fuss could be made. Otherwise, if some people in the army with previously clean backgrounds were stressed, something strange might happen.

But what Zhukov didn't know was that the Volunteer Army had no spies hidden in his team at all. Instead, some players had already sneaked into the Chita area, disguised themselves as locals, and even established contact with the local Soviet army through some methods.

How did you do it?

"Hey, Davari, I have some water of life here, would you like some?"

A cigarette, a sip of wine, and authentic Russian pronunciation. As a player who looks like a very standard local of the Soviet Far East, is it difficult to establish friendship with these Russians?

This bitterly cold land of the Far East bullies everyone equally. It is very difficult to obtain any supplies here, especially in winter. The Soviet trains will definitely carry the most needed military supplies first, and then entertainment items such as alcohol.

Yes, the Russians cannot survive without alcohol, but they also have to prioritize. Now the Volunteer Army’s artillery is already at the door, and the alcohol ration can only be reduced. Anyone who can still produce alcohol at this time is a god, a god of wine, to the Soviet soldiers.

The player "I'm Not Wang Wu" established a brotherhood with the local Soviet soldiers by relying on some cheap vodka exchanged from the system mall. He opened a small pub in the local area and provided the locals with "satisfactory" alcohol enjoyment at affordable prices. Many nearby Soviet soldiers would come here, and I didn't even need to go out. Those Soviet soldiers who started talking nonsense after getting drunk would say everything they should and shouldn't say.

Well, in this war environment, is the Soviet army's control over the city so lax?

Actually, it is still very strict, but you can't stop the people below from strictly enforcing it. When the military police are on duty, they come over to drink, and the person sitting next to them is the drunk soldier they are supposed to arrest. In this case, how can you expect the order to be strictly enforced? It's ridiculous.

Another important reason for this situation was that the Volunteer Army had not yet launched a ground offensive. It was impossible to occupy Chita relying solely on the Air Force, so sometimes the officers below turned a blind eye and just watched them not get drunk and cause trouble.

High-end intelligence warfare often only requires the simplest methods.

But today, I am not Wang Wu and met a special guest.

After entering the room, the other party ordered a glass of vodka, a full one at that. After drinking it, he squinted his eyes and said, "This is really good wine. It reminds me of my hometown."

"Your hometown must be a big city." I am not as skilled as Wang Wu in chatting with the other party.

He had seen such scenes many times. Whenever a Soviet soldier spoke like this, all that followed would be various expressions of emotion. He only needed to refill his cup, and it wouldn't take long before the other party started to lose control of their mouths. Intelligence got?

"Yes, it is indeed a big city. Moscow is still very prosperous, right?"

I am not Wang Wu and he did not say anything because he saw the other party took out a pistol and pointed the black muzzle at him.

"Does the customer not want to pay?"

"The fact that vodka of this quality appeared in Chita is itself quite problematic, Mr. Andrei. Shouldn't you explain it?"

Although he was exposed, how could the player panic? On the contrary, he must experience this special plot.

So under the other party's gaze, I, not Wang Wu, sat in front of the other party very relaxedly, smiled and said: "What is there to explain? I am a volunteer soldier, Dawari."

The other person looked at me seriously and said, "I'm not Wang Wu. This person is too relaxed." Normally, an intelligence officer should be nervous after being exposed, but the person in front of me seems to really disregard life and death. His attitude seems to be saying, "It's just a life, just take it."

It's admirable courage, but Victor himself doesn't think he can do it.

"Who told you I'm from the Davari clan? Come with me, invader!"

"Invaders? Oh, no, no, no, you are the invaders. Since the Tsarist era, you have been invading our land, occupying our homes, and killing our compatriots. Listen, you are the invaders, do you understand, Soviet revisionists?"

Andre (I am not Wang Wu's pseudonym) ignored Victor's gun and fought back in a very serious and cold tone.

"The Soviet Union never invaded you!"

"So, the government just changed its name and can now pass the blame on to our predecessors? That's wishful thinking. You, the Soviet Union, occupied our land, and you must return it, or you will pay the price!"

"The great Soviet Union will surely triumph, and you despicable invaders will be buried forever beneath this land, starting with you!"

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. Shoot now. Otherwise, you won't even be qualified to shoot later."

"You want to know where this place is."

Victor raised his hand and several Soviet soldiers came over.

At this time, the other Soviet soldiers in the tavern also stood up. Although Boss Andrei had provided them with very little alcohol during this period, they still stood on the side of their motherland on major issues.

"Take him away!" said Victor.

I am not Wang Wu. I stood up and shook my head, saying, “Sorry, you don’t have a chance, because I don’t want to play anymore.”

The next second, Victor felt like he was hit in the chest by a car and flew out.

Everything happened so fast and so suddenly that others had no time to react, but I was not Wang Wu and had already started my own killing, rushing into the crowd and starting to be unparalleled.

Ever since Liu Qi had sex with some players offline, he opened up the system's enhancement function. Now players can also enjoy the joy of body enhancement in the game. Although the skin cannot defend against bullets, strong physical fitness combined with handy weapons, especially when attacking at close range, is really like the scythe of the god of death passing through a field of leeks - harvesting.

In less than a minute, all seventeen Soviet soldiers in the tavern had their throats slit. The tavern was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Victor, holding onto his chest and holding onto the table next to him, struggled to stand up.

He felt that he had broken at least three ribs, and he didn't know where the pistol had flown to.

"I told you I'd give you a chance to shoot, but you didn't use it."

"You can't escape. The Soviets will win!"

"It's already this late. Why are you still being so stubborn? It would be easier if you just surrendered."

"Suka BuLei!"

"What a tough guy! Could it be that you are the political commissar?"

"That's right, I'm the political commissar!"

"No wonder, it's a rare card. Then you must be a party member too. You can't be Jewish, right?"

"That's right, I'm a political commissar, a Jew, and a Communist. I won't surrender to the invaders. If you want to kill me, you'd better do it now, otherwise there will be more people surrounding this place than just the few I brought with me!"

"Why does this plot development make me feel like I'm the villain? You've clearly occupied our land since ancient times." -p

I am not Wang Wu. I shrugged my shoulders, then used a knife to physically anesthetize the political commissar in front of me.

"Forget it, I'll give you a chance to live."

I'm not Wang Wu. I shrugged, left some things, and turned to leave the tavern I ran.

Not long after, a group of Soviet soldiers rushed in and rescued the unconscious Political Commissar Victor. At the same time, they carefully searched the entire tavern, but only found a cellar of fine wine and a note that read: For true warriors, I hope you can clearly see your true enemy.

This matter soon reached Zhukov's ears, and the Soviet army immediately launched a city-wide search, but returned empty-handed.

Political Commissar Victor had to be sent back to the rear because he had broken five ribs. This injury made it impossible for him to recuperate on the front line, so he had to be sent back to Moscow first.

However, the Soviet army accepted all the spoils from the tavern, especially the senior officers.

Okay, let me tell you a joke, Zhukov’s party spirit.

The spy battle in Chita is just one part of the players' Chita strategy. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. Anyway, the real attack is never carried out by spies, but by the overwhelming force of large troops.

However, it was indeed too tiring to fight all the way to Chita, so the players began to brainstorm again.

"We don't have any logistical pressure, so why not just airdrop to Chita?"

"We don't even need to parachute into Chita. We can just crash-land nearby and create a bunch of stuff in a matter of minutes!"

"Well said! The problem is that the Soviet forces in Chita are all armored units. We have limited numbers and resources that can be mobilized in a short period of time. Moreover, Outer Mongolia has little construction and can't provide us with any buffs. Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be too crazy to forcefully attack Chita, where there are at least 200,000 Soviet troops?"

"Yes, the Soviet army is already on high alert. We can bomb and harass them, but a stormy attack..."

"It would be great if the Soviets were willing to attack the areas we are defending. We could wear them down."

"Yes, we can force the Soviets out!"

"It's icy and snowy here. Even if we cut off their supply, they have enough reserves. They can wait until the spring to fight us. But they are still waiting."

"No, no, no, what I mean is, we should use our advantages to build a permanent fortification group near Chita, and then bombard Chita every day to force the Soviet army to come out and attack us."

"Oh my god, this is a good idea, it's definitely worth a try!"

"By the way, we can also transport some local people there."

“How does this work?”

"We can open a factory there, and then exchange it for raw materials to run the factory. This way we can quickly and cheaply obtain various buffs without having to build a road from Ulaanbaatar."

"beet!"

The players started to discuss and perfect the plan, and finally decided that except for a small number of players who wanted to live in Outer Mongolia temporarily, the rest would all participate in the Battle of Chita. They even decided to name the plan "Tower Defense Plan".

Players built a group of fortifications ten kilometers away from Chita. With the portability provided by the game system and the players' own high efficiency, they could make the Soviet army feel the thrill of being hit by artillery in the face in just one night.

After the plan was announced in the group, other players also gave thumbs up. Some players who felt that the battles in the Northeast were not exciting enough applied to join, bringing the number of players in the Volunteer Army Mongolian Front to 1217.

However, the number of players in the Northeast Liberated Area and the Nanjing Liberated Area did not decrease, but increased. During this period, the total number of players rose to 2777. However, the newly added players needed to work hard to level up first. The most suitable battlefield for them at the moment was the Northeast. Chita was for high-end games, so they couldn't go there for the time being.

In order to realize the "Tower Defense Plan", players intensified the bombing of Chita while disguising themselves as a large armored group advancing towards Chita to attract the attention of the Soviet army.

The feint and deception work here really cost a lot of money. The players really drove tanks towards Chita and hired a large number of local Mongolian compatriots to clear the roads. The momentum was so huge that it seemed like Liu Bang was about to break out from Shu.

Zhukov's attention was indeed attracted.

It's normal. With the real human thinking, no matter how whimsical it is, no one would have thought that there are players in the world, and they can come up with combat plans that are absolutely impossible to achieve with the current level of technology. They built a permanent fortification group near Chita in February in one night. Why didn't you let Roosevelt propose to Churchill? At least this matter is more feasible.

However, the players themselves are also aware that although it can theoretically be done in one night, the results of one night are still quite limited. After all, they are building fortifications in the permafrost zone and cannot make too much noise. Therefore, the early deployment can only be carried out on the ground. At this time, they must withstand the Soviet attack before discussing subsequent plans.

Therefore, the first day is destined to be the most difficult, and the Soviet attack will be the most crazy. If we are not careful, we may be swept away in one wave.

Moreover, this kind of stratagem can only be launched once. After that, the enemy will be on guard and spread scouts everywhere, making it difficult to launch the stratagem again. Therefore, it must succeed in one go, otherwise Chita will have to be attacked head-on.

Although in that case, a little bit of grinding is possible, but it will not be possible to complete the task within the specified time.

The game system is very intelligent and will dynamically adjust according to the actual actions of the players. Some players have already discovered that in the process of completing tasks, the more players rely on game features, the shorter the task time, and vice versa.

Of course, the gameplay here is relative, and there are still many conveniences that are not taken into account by the system. These alone can give players a great tactical advantage.

But players are the most amazing group in the world, especially when a king of ideas appears in this group, and when his ideas are recognized by everyone, they always feel unwilling to give up without testing them.

So there was this "Tower Defense Plan". If it succeeds, it will definitely become a miracle in modern military history.

If you fail, you will definitely be a typical negative example and be ridiculed forever.

But for the players, things are much simpler. Just tell me whether it is exciting or not.

Anyway, Chita, here we come!

Chapter 78: Tower Defense Game, Reality Edition

(The busier I am, the more enthusiastic everyone is about voting for updates. Okay, okay, that's how it's going to work, huh? I'm going to squeeze you dry even if I have to stay up all night updating today. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!)

"What an incomprehensible army."

Zhukov rubbed his eyes. He had been reading various materials during this period, including everything related to the Volunteer Army. The Soviet intelligence system was still very powerful and had collected a lot of good things. However, after putting all the information together, Zhukov felt that his understanding of the Volunteer Army was too shallow.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Volunteer Army is an army that has never appeared in human history. No existing experience can be applied to this army. You can fully believe in the other party's ability to play tricks on you, and the other party can turn these outrageous tricks into strategic advantages.

For example, the Xuanyue Cannon used by the Volunteer Army. Under normal circumstances, the deployment and use of weapons of that level would be calculated in months. The deployment time alone would probably take more than a week. However, the Volunteer Army bombarded this giant cannon all the way to Shanghai without any pause. This is not a military miracle, but a disrespect for objective reality.

Either the world is crazy, or the volunteer army has other more advanced and outrageous technologies.

However, there is no information in this regard at present. The speculation given by Soviet military experts is that the giant cannon with a strange name should have a strong automation system that allows it to be deployed quickly. But even so, it is not easy to deploy such a behemoth.

Zhukov's judgment was correct. Historically, in order for the German army to deploy the Gustav cannon to bombard Sevastopol, it took the same amount of time as France surrendered to complete the deployment. This was based on the assumption that the Soviet army could not escape.

This means that the main target of the cannon is fixed fortifications, and field combat is almost impossible.

But with the deployment speed of the Volunteer Army, there is no problem at all in moving out a huge cannon of this level in a field battle. If the Xuanyue Cannon appears on the field battlefield and is quickly deployed, it will be a disaster for any army.

Even more outrageous is the advancement efficiency of the Volunteer Army's mechanized forces.

The damage to armored vehicles caused by off-roading is very great. Anyone with a little military knowledge knows this. Even the Soviet tanks, which are known for their strength and durability, cannot say that they can complete the journey on their own without tank transporters. The armored troops are suffering losses from the moment they set out on the road. When they arrive at their destination, the condition of the armored vehicles is definitely not full. Only an elite force can guarantee relatively complete attack power when relying entirely on itself.

If it were the German Tiger and King Tiger from World War II...

Fortunately, Germany has good basic education and enough engineers, otherwise it would not be possible to repair all the cars. If it were Italy, all these heavy equipment would be abandoned on the road.

But the volunteer army was able to continue advancing in this windy and snowy environment, and unless their armored vehicles were destroyed by the enemy, there would be no less (or even more) when they arrived at their destination.

This self-sustaining ability is quite terrifying. The larger the size of the troops, the more terrifying this advantage is. Even if the advantage is only magnified by one percent, it will become a huge advantage for breakthroughs in the local battlefield. If it is a decisive battle between large troops, both sides have hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops facing each other, which means that the other side has at least one more armored division.

What's more, the Soviet army is absolutely incapable of achieving that kind of terrifying 100% self-sustaining logistical supply and equipment maintenance capabilities. Therefore, the gap in field combat between the two sides is likely not one or two percent, but rather thirty or forty percent.

How could the Soviet army win in the face of such a terrifying gap and such unprecedented teammates?

Zhukov was confused. He didn't know that if he had a way, he would not have stayed in Chita to defend, but would have led his troops directly to the Far East to fight the Volunteer Army.

It’s too difficult, but who makes me a general?

Zhukov scratched his hair, then realized something was wrong and lowered his hand, leaving a handful of hair in his hand.

The battle losses were severe. Zhukov smiled wryly.

When reading history books, many people think that commanding thousands of troops is a manly quality, but when it comes to the execution level, no one desires peace more than those who participate in the war.
