Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign

As the players' progress gradually catches up.

They have reached the time point of 1937.

Some Blue Star players from other provinces have already gone past the Battle of Songhu in the storyline, and changes are quietly happening around them.

On the Huaxia Land, 700,000 soldiers from across the country crushed the Japanese Army's 'three-month illusion' with their flesh and blood, exchanging space for time.

During those difficult three months.

Factories, schools, and political powers on Huaxia Land completed a strategic westward migration, as a final safeguard.

Reconstructed the focal core of the Republic.

It has now shifted from localized resistance to full-scale resistance.

In Shi Rui's livestream room.

After infiltrating the Sihang Warehouse and recording the Central Army's awe-inspiring twenty-meter close-range shootout.

Shi Rui, having been hit by bullets amidst the chaos, has now restarted the game.

Fortunately, the Polestar official has opened the timeline, allowing direct selection of 1937's timeline, avoiding constant storyline jumps.

At this moment.

Shi Rui has chosen the identity of a reporter.

Since posing as a reporter and live broadcasting for so long during the Battle of Songhu, Shi Rui has come to like this profession, and upon restarting, simply chose a reporter again.

And now the time point is after the Battle of Songhu.

Shi Rui is in the Shanxi area.

Following the soldiers of the 129th Division of the Red Army, preparing to ambush the Japanese Army.

Shi Rui lies on another vantage point farther from the position, introducing the situation to the Blue Star friends in the livestream room:

"Brothers, we are currently here at the Taihang Mountains."

"The Red side just sent people to attack the Japanese Army stronghold north of Shentou Ridge in Licheng."

"The nearest support for the Japanese Army can only come from Luzhou to the south, so they are currently preparing to ambush the Japanese soldiers going to support Licheng at Shentou Ridge."

"Let's see if we can hook a big fish."

After a brief introduction to the current situation, Shi Rui continues:

"After the Battle of Songhu ended, the entire Republic is conducting various styles of resistance against the Japanese Army."

"Shanxi primarily features guerrilla warfare, ambush warfare conducted by the Red side."

"Relying on mountainous terrain, small detachments disperse to harass the Japanese Army, coordinated with the construction of bases to form a long-term resistance posture."

"This is the 'persistent warfare' previously stated by the Red side."

As Shi Rui speaks, reinforcements from the Japanese Army to support Licheng appear on the road in the mountains of Shentou Ridge.

Seeing the long Japanese Army convoy, Shi Rui estimates with photon computing that there is about one squadron's strength, and the leading supply trucks are moving slowly.

Seeing this scene, Blue Star netizens in the livestream room are a bit puzzled:

[Why is the Japanese truck so slow? Could it be bait?]

[Maybe, there might be a large force behind it.]

[Hiss—Streamer, quickly remind them.]

[Could it be possible? Would the Japanese Army use so many people as bait?]

[I feel it's unlikely, the Japanese seem a bit too relaxed?]

Looking at the livestream's bullet comments, Shi Rui explains:

"Normal."

"Because here is where the Japanese Army least expects an ambush."

Speaking, Shi Rui sweeps his gaze over the Shentou Ridge area in the distance.

Seeing the full outline, Blue Star netizens in the livestream room finally understand why Shi Rui says this is where the Japanese Army least expects an ambush.

Because this road is on an open ridge.

There are no obstructions on either side, directly sloping down, looking like a single-log bridge.

Who would set an ambush underneath a single-log bridge?

The Japanese Army might think this way, which is why the marching troops are so relaxed, as they simply cannot expect someone to set an ambush here.

But the Red side has indeed achieved it.

Using such reverse thinking, the Red side used disguised fortifications for concealment and camouflage, and even when the Japanese Army was halfway through, they still hadn't discovered the entrance's hidden Red soldiers.

The Japanese Army troops have now fully entered the trap.

As they were halfway along the road, the first Japanese truck ran over a landmine laid overnight by engineering units.

Boom—!

The deafening explosion echoes in the mountains.

"Attack—!!!"

Accompanied by a roar echoing in the mountains, hundreds of grenades simultaneously fly up, pouncing on the Japanese convoy in the middle of the road from both sides.

A Japanese soldier just jumped off the truck.

Boom!

And was immediately killed by the grenade explosion, some grenades detonated the Japanese truck, and the road instantly became a sea of fire, with gunfire continuously ringing from both sides of the road.

Suddenly suffering an attack, the Japanese Army command was chaotic and couldn't respond.

The battle quickly entered a white-hot stage, with the Japanese Army desperately charging at the vantage point, wanting to capture one, but the Red soldiers bravely resisted the Japanese suicide squads.

On the other side of the hill, Shi Rui livestreams the blockade battle in the livestream room.

Some are curious about the commander of this Red Army unit, as after the Long March, many Blue Star players were attracted by the Battle of Songhu and hadn't paid much attention to the Red Army side.

Not knowing how it developed.

Shi Rui looks at the questions in the livestream room and introduces:

"Below, ambushing the Japanese Army is the 129th Division of the Red Army, with Liu... as the division commander and Xu... as the deputy commander."

"The 286th Brigade under the 129th Division serves as the main attack, with the 771st Regiment in the north and the 772nd Regiment in the west."

"Oh, right."

"The brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, Chen Geng, is from the first Huangpu class...."

As Shi Rui introduces, he observes the battle below.

And the Blue Star netizens in the livestream, upon hearing these introductions, widen their eyes, realizing that they are indeed big shots from the Red side, no wonder they display such combat power and tactical superiority.
