Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign

Because they knew the timing and the route,

many players and streamers were waiting in the area beyond Luding Bridge.

Waiting for the arrival of the Red Army troops.

Many were also lurking in Liu Chen's livestream, and the reason they were there was because he had a first-person view, and his section didn't experience death in the last Luding Bridge scenario.

So, after capturing Luding Bridge, they continued north.

Liu Chen's perspective remained first-person the entire time.

And based on the marching speed and route of the past few days, it would take less than half a day to reach the vicinity of the Jiajin Mountain, and after that, they would cross the snow mountains to meet with the Fourth Red Army Front.

Inside Liu Chen's livestream channel.

As the half-day march continued, the white snow-capped mountains in the distance became clearly visible.

The majestic peaks loomed between the mist, their rolling hillsides covered in snow. Though it was June, the snow's cold glint in the sunlight made one feel a sudden chill.

Liu Chen, in the lead unit, shivered involuntarily as he looked at the distant snow mountain:

"Damn it."

"Just looking at it makes me cold already."

The bullet comments scrolled rapidly across the screen.

[Finally heading to climb the snow mountain, we're about to unlock the Polestar Official Website CG, right?]

[This environment... I have to say, I feel cold even through the screen.]

[I wonder if there'll be a blizzard.]

[Those who can't speak well should just keep their mouths shut!]

[The main issue is the Red Army troops are wearing summer uniforms, it's quite tough under these conditions.]

Liu Chen looked at the bullet comments and tightened his own thin military uniform.

Why does reading the comments make me feel even colder....

He turned to look back at the troops behind him, their footsteps heavy, every one of them exhausted, but their eyes shone with a determined light.

This gave Liu Chen confidence as well; he took a deep breath and continued forward.

Jiajin Mountain, just ahead.

The small town at the foot of the mountain was already visible.

...

At the same time.

As Liu Chen reached the small town at the foot of Jiajin Mountain, other players and streamers waiting there also met the arriving Red Army troops in succession.

After all, the skipped time points were different for everyone.

But they're all individual storylines, so naturally there are no other players.

Some well-prepared streamers smoothly joined the team, but those less informed and hoping just to trigger a scenario weren't so lucky.

After all, suddenly joining is impossible even within the game.

Some players, who were millionaire Merchants, arrived here comfortably, such sudden joining would definitely raise suspicion.

Naturally, they were rejected by the Red Side forces.

Soon.

Rooms streaming the Long March scenarios started to pop up one after another.

For a moment.

The section under the "Awakening Era" DLC was filled with livestreams preparing to climb the snow mountain, though they all varied in assignments—combat class, cooking class, logistics class, and such.

And that's where Liu Chen's advantages stood out.

Compared to other streamers who were trying to trigger the scenario by joining at the foot of Jiajin Mountain,

he was already part of the Red Army troops,

and in the lead unit, so Liu Chen proceeded to scout Jiajin Mountain earlier than other streams.

However, compared to other streams,

the danger level for the lead unit may also be greater.

In the livestream.

Liu Chen was already standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up with the viewers in the livestream at the snow mountain that locals called 'Immortal Mountain'.

The peak, over 4900 meters high, soared into the sky, with no end in sight.

The cold wind mixed with snow pellets hit Liu Chen in the face, forcing him to squint his eyes.

In front.

The Company Commander of the scout platoon stood with several lieutenants, gazing at the snow mountain with furrowed brows.

One of the scout lieutenants, looking at the snow mountain, said to the Company Commander:

"Company Commander, the locals say the weather in this mountain can change from clear to blizzard quickly, and there are snow pits that can swallow people."

"Even immortals can't get past this."

The Company Commander didn't speak but continued staring at the snow mountain, saying gravely:

"Immortals can't get past it, but our Red Army can!"

"Tell the soldiers to check their gear, especially to tightly secure their leggings."

"We have a large army waiting behind us."

Upon hearing that,

the scout lieutenant didn't say much else, nodding and moving to relay the order.

Meanwhile, the Company Commander and the lieutenants were looking at the map given to them by the local guides, studying the route.

What they bore on their shoulders was not just the fate of a scout company,

but the lives of the follow-up troops—twenty to thirty thousand people. Should the route be wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Soon.

The scouts of the company started their ascent on the majestic snow mountain, with Liu Chen among them.

Through Liu Chen's perspective,

viewers on Blue Star could also feel the harsh environment of Jiajin Mountain.

The foot of the mountain was manageable.

But as they climbed upwards to the snow-covered areas, the true challenges had just begun.

The howling cold wind roaring past, and this meant that the Company Commander's orders given upfront, even if shouted loudly, could barely be heard beyond a few meters due to the overwhelming wind noise.

They had to be passed back one by one, significantly increasing the difficulty of communication.

Moreover, the path on the mountain was difficult to traverse.

The place, having been crossed by no one for years, had practically no complete paths, and what the scouts had to do was in this pathless snow mountain:

Chart a path.

A path that could accommodate two to three thousand people to escape Blue Side's pursuing forces.
