Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign

Moreover, they themselves did not dare to fight directly against the Red Side.

So after the 28th Division retreated westward, the 50th and 24th Divisions also retreated eastward.

But no one expected the Red Side to be so fast.

The 50th Division had just retreated to Dongshao from the source, when the Red Side's large forces had already come over the mountains. However, because of the long journey,

the Red Side couldn't completely encircle the 50th Division, annihilating over 3,000 of them, while the remnants of the 50th Division continued to flee eastward.

At this point.

The originally planned "encirclement and suppression" operation ended in failure.

This battle left the netizens on Blue Star baffled, even the Red Side's broadcaster Qiao Bo and the Blue Side's broadcaster Chu Yao couldn't understand.

From Qiao Bo's perspective, it was following the troops, transferring, transferring, transferring, fighting, fighting, and winning.

From Chu Yao's perspective, it was receiving orders, acting, acting, forming the outer encirclement, then the inexplicable annihilation of the 18th Division inside, the defeat of the 50th Division, and a complete collapse on all fronts.

The first layer of the outer encirclement itself was large, and the surrounding friendly troops were too far away.

Picking a single one almost couldn't be a match for the Red Side.

This was also because being in the 56th Division, the regiment commander of Chu Yao's unit looked like he was trying to save his life, unwilling to confront the Red Side forces head-on.

Because they really couldn't win...

And as the internal encirclement collapsed, the victorious Red Side troops began to focus on developing their base at that time and advancing toward the surrounding areas.

At this point.

On Chu Yao's side.

The 56th Division was already holding strong at Jianning, and his corps, because of the relation with the regiment commander, was assigned to a relatively safe position.

This quite surprised Chu Yao.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

After all, he bought the operations staff and put in all his initial assets worth millions and later collected some treasures and antiques.

If the regiment commander didn't have some connections, would he dare to take so much?

And seeing so many corps under the 56th Division, yet they were specifically placed at the rear, it was obvious that the regiment commander had connections above.

Heh...

The money wasn't spent in vain.

Chu Yao sighed and went about his daily routine of roaming around, gathering news.

However, most of the information from the civilians was hearsay, and their attitudes towards them weren't too good. There was no open hostility, but they would avoid them whenever they encountered them.

When he returned to the station, he heard the order to attend a meeting.

When Chu Yao went in, the meeting was already over. Seeing Chu Yao enter, the regiment commander directly threw a document over:

"These are the latest materials discovered from above."

"Just take a look and keep it in mind."

"They're from some high-level individuals; we definitely won't encounter them here."

Chu Yao nodded, then opened the folder.

Inside was a thick stack of materials, and the first person he saw was the one on the [Autumn Harvest Uprising] plot card, Chu Yao looked at it incredulously:

"Hiss—"

And the following ones also widened his eyes.

Because many names on it matched the ones that the previous Whampoa Military Academy broadcaster, Du Yong, had exposed.

Good heavens.

Until....

"What the hell?!!!"

The regiment commander looked up with a face full of question marks.

Chu Yao quickly waved his hand:

"It's nothing."

"It's just that the Red Army that annihilated the 18th Division was actually the one opposite us."

The regiment commander nodded:

"No worries."

"We're at the rear; we won't engage here."

The regiment commander had a look of pride, thinking the money wasn't wasted.

There's no way I'll risk my life.

Opposite, Chu Yao twitched his mouth.

Is this really the key point?!

The key point is the Red Army and its commander, isn't it?!

Both Qiao Bo and Chu Yao were uploading their respective data.

And on Chu Yao's side, facing them was the Red Army.

Only before did they not know that the 18th Division was annihilated by the Red Army, nor did they know that the commander of the Red Army was the same person who later strongly defeated the Whampoa Principal.

Damn.

The Whampoa Principal didn't lose unjustly this time. No wonder, at the third level, they still couldn't win against the Red Side.

The Red Side's command was on a whole different level from the start.

If the Red Army was at such a level of command, what kind of overall commander did the Red Side have?

How would one ever fight against that?

Chu Yao was also holding back his excitement, and immediately uploaded the data.

But he couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth; this surely would blow up the game forums.

....

In fact, it truly did.

This marked the first time that Blue Star players clearly understood the personnel of the Red Side's forces.

Even though the tactical command from Nanjing wasn't great.

The attention towards the Red Side was undoubtedly there, and the information was very detailed, leading players to start searching the [Republic]'s timeline for relevant information.

To see if there were mentions of these names over time.

And wouldn't you know it.

They found quite a few related major events.

At this point.

On the Polestar Company side.

Zhao Ming looked at the backend data.

In front of him, the projection displayed a virtual 'Republic' map, and densely scattered points represented players, increasingly more as data accumulated.

Blue Star players had found their direction, inevitably triggering a series of major plotlines.

After all, some players had been live broadcasting from the Red Side's base for a long time.

Subsequent players in the game mostly opened there, with the Red Side base and Nanjing having the most players on the map.

Some players were already close to triggering the 'Second Encirclement and Suppression' and 'Third Encirclement and Suppression'.

In this direction and line of thought, it likely won't be long before the plotlines are fully triggered, and then [Four Crossings of the Chishui River] will be the only thing left to trigger.

Other plotlines work well with individual immersion, but at this level.

Zhao Ming contemplated making it into a dungeon.

Similar to the previous National War Dungeon, allowing all players to participate, of course... they would still be from the perspective of a soldier.

However, real-time maps and live bullet-screen interactions could be opened to let players watch the action routes and discuss exchanges in real-time.

To think of it was to do it.

Zhao Ming immediately pulled out information on [Four Crossings of the Chishui River], but glancing at the backend data.

The players' progress was a bit too fast.

This kind of large-scale dungeon combined with [Four Crossings of the Chishui River]'s extraordinary command should be opened during a holiday.

With that thought.

Zhao Ming set up several classic battles before and after [Four Crossings of the Chishui River], like [Skillful Crossing of the Jinsha River] and [The Seizure of Luding Bridge] as pending triggers.

Once players complete the triggering of several 'Encirclement and Suppression' operations.

These classic battles would be triggered first, while [Four Crossings of the Chishui River] would await triggering at the beginning of next month's holiday.
