Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign

The first attempt to capture Ningdu yielded nothing, but it's understandable.

The second attempt to capture Xiaobu, no investigation was done. Seriously, isn't this pure guesswork?!

Next, the blue faction, as the force executing the 'Direct Invasion' plan, started to search aimlessly like headless flies.

Meanwhile, the troops gathered in Ningdu dispersed and fanned out in all directions to search for the enemy.

At this point, Blue Star viewers in the live chat were already speechless with complaints.

It really is pure guesswork...

But soon, Blue Star viewers in the live chat understood why the blue faction was relying on guesswork.

The troops where Jiang Yu was located entered Xiaobu.

The attitude of the townspeople towards them was worlds apart compared to how they treated the red faction.

Most of the townspeople hid away.

And those hiding in corners or peeking from behind windows, Jiang Yu could feel the stares of contempt from their eyes.

As they passed down a street, someone even shouted "White Dog Bastard."

Already irritable due to the hot weather, the troops, incited by an enraged company commander, started shooting in intimidation and then extensively captured the surrounding civilians.

They're not even pretending anymore.

This scene made Jiang Yu and Blue Star viewers shake their heads in disapproval.

These are not regional warlords.

But the official troops under the 'Republic' name.

Yet at this very moment.

Seeing them act no differently than those warlords, capturing civilians left and right and coercing them to divulge the whereabouts of the red faction.

Perhaps the higher-ups issued the capture order to force information about the reds' location, but when it comes down to the soldiers, they can't control themselves, not only capturing but also taking things.

And those captured people.

If they don't talk?

If they don't talk, they get beaten, and if truly clueless, they're half-beaten before being released.

Such chaotic scenes.

No wonder the red faction is so beloved by the people.

In times like these.

Even the official troops act this way, one could only imagine the state of the 'Republic' at this time.

Facing the red faction with such grassroots support.

Where would the blue faction find intelligence?

The blue faction is still searching aimlessly for the red faction.

Meanwhile, the red faction has begun a major flanking maneuver from Jianing, bypassing the outskirts of Suzhou District, to join forces with the southwestern troops at Yinkeng and then turn towards neighboring Xingguo.

In Liu Xu's live stream.

Entering the Xingguo area, Blue Star viewers and Liu Xu in the chat could feel a different atmosphere.

In stark contrast to the blue faction being cursed by the masses.

Local townspeople brought eggs to greet them, organized welcome parties, leaving many new red faction soldiers invigorated.

Liu Xu looked at the welcome party and asked the veteran:

"Sergeant."

"The people here, they're so enthusiastic."

The veteran smiled and said:

"Naturally."

"Xingguo is a revolutionary old base."

"It's among the first places to distribute land, where people began living good lives, so of course, they're enthusiastic."

"Moreover, it's not just about land allocation."

"The folks even voluntarily enlisted; there are many Red Guard Army members, reservists, and youth pioneer groups here, all being seeds of the revolution."

Only then did Liu Xu and Blue Star viewers understand.

Why the people here were so enthusiastic.

Indeed, although propaganda takes time, arriving here felt like coming home.

After a brief rest in Xingguo.

The red faction forces continued their movement west, but the blue faction noticed something amiss.

This time.

They blocked the escape route just in time before the red faction could break through.

They could only retreat to the area around Gaoxingwu.

The blue faction's large army closely pursued.

Even the Blue Star viewers watching gradually became tense.

Constantly listening to the live chat.

Even while at work, they would take time to check Liu Xu and Jiang Yu's live streams.

Because the red faction's forces of over 30,000 were surrounded in the Gaoxingwu area, while the blue faction presented a siege posture around them.

Within a territory of several dozen miles, all retreat paths were blocked by the blue faction's dozen divisions.

Such circumstances and a critical predicament.

Provoked numerous discussions among Blue Star players, and even troops from various major federations were regularly monitoring the live chat.

In the game at this time.

The red forces hadn't made a move yet.

But Great Xia Federation and Zhao Ming received the current disposition and arrangement of all red faction troops.

After distributing it to officers above the regiment level.

They were tasked to analyze and submit a breakout plan.

To see whether there's any military genius whose thinking aligns with the red faction when they break out later.

Half a day later.

The officers of various units submitted their plans.

And the red faction in-game was about to take action.

Great Xia Federation's north, Songgel Ice Field.

The Seventh Special Operations team.

After submitting the plan, Shen Yan came to find Qu Guang, who had just submitted his plan and upon seeing Shen Yan, couldn't help but say:

"So soon?"

"What's your plan?"

Shen Yan grinned and replied:

"My plan is to break up into small groups."

"The red faction is skilled at guerrilla warfare, so dividing 30,000 soldiers into three waves, dispersing them separately and regrouping at designated locations."

"Even if the blue faction wants to pursue, they won't have the resources."

"Here are ten people, there are five people, another seven people there..."

Qu Guang nodded and said:

"My thought is to break out from the side not surrounded."

"The losses might be significant."

"But this way, we can preserve the combat strength and look for opportunities for a comeback later."

Shen Yan also nodded, opening the projection.

The live chat situation appeared before them, and Liu Xu had already started taking action. Watching the projection, Shen Yan couldn't help but wonder:

"I wonder what the red faction's situation is here."

"Will they follow our thoughts?"

Qu Guang glanced at Shen Yan:

"No way."

"Our plan is pretty standard."

"Not aiming for full marks, just for a pass."

"The red faction will likely go far beyond our plan."

"But given the terrain and environment, locking 30,000 people here, it's just..."

Before the words were finished.

Qu Guang and Shen Yan watched the live stream projection, as the map gradually changed with Liu Xu's updates, widening their eyes:

"Whoa?!"

"This is too risky?!"

At that moment in the live chat, following Liu Xu's narrative.

Many Blue Star viewers couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation at the back of their necks.

Facing such a siege situation.

The red faction first dispatched local troops from Xingguo and Gaoxingwu districts, Red Guard Army, reservists, and others to feign a major push west, drawing the blue faction's attention.

The main force remained hidden in Gaoxingwu.

They picked the weakest blue faction troops to prepare for a heavy assault.

But the greatest risk of this plan was the northern 52nd division.

They could almost brush past them, and any slightest exposure would rewrite the future history of the [Republic].

Such a plan, forget about coming up with it, even if they did, executing it would require immense courage, a single mistake could lead to total annihilation, who'd dare risk it?

Even before the action started, officers in Great Xia Federation couldn't help but nervously worry.

The red faction's command displayed incredible boldness and determination.
