Chapter 218: [The True American Mechanized Trooper, King of Close-Quarters Combat?]
Within the storyline.
The sudden defeat of the southern puppet forces has invigorated the spirits of Blue Star players.
However, there are concerns about the American joint forces on the other side, knowing that once the Republic joins the war, the intensity of their attacks will continue to rise.
This kind of firepower coverage has indeed scared the Blue Star players.
However, looking at the situation on the front lines, the United States of America seems to regard the southern puppet forces' defeat as trivial, as if they believe the opponent is merely in a death throe.
It's all because those southern puppet forces are too weak in combat capability that it ended up like this.
This is actually good news for Blue Star players.
The few remaining players hold their positions, waiting for the Republic's reinforcements.
And at this moment.
With the Republic's participation in the war, the storyline also opened up random starts involving forces from the Republic, the United States, and the United Nations.
Simply put.
The normal start is still here in the neighboring house.
But you might end up with a random start on either the Republic or any side of the United States and the United Nations. This is indeed a tradition of Polestar Company.
Blue Star players, restarting after death, have been assigned to various perspectives.
Some ended up in the British Commonwealth teams, others in the Turkish Brigade, Australia, and so on....
However, the most common starts remain with the United States of America and the southern puppet forces.
At this moment.
On the Celestial Shark Live Platform.
In the live room of streamer Peng Feng, the equipment of the United States units is being introduced.
Because it started from the first perspective of the United States units, many Blue Star players have flooded into the live room, checking out the United States unit's equipment up close.
In the picture.
Streamer Peng Feng looks at the flag waving in the camp and says to the new Blue Star viewers in the live room:
"Do you see this flag?"
"This is the flag of the United States Cavalry First Division."
"I looked into it."
"This unit was restructured from the Second Cavalry Regiment from the founding period of the United States, making it a top-notch elite, still retaining historical honors."
"Participated in World War II."
"It earned the title of 'Manila Liberator' during the Philippine campaign, the first army unit to enter Tokyo in the Pacific Theater."
Listening to Peng Feng's explanation, many Blue Star viewers in the live room also asked various World War II streamers to look up information on the U.S. Cavalry First Division.
Because there are identities like merchants and journalists involved.
Soon, a detailed report was compiled.
Seeing the gradually detailed report, Blue Star players realized Peng Feng's introduction was incomplete.
Because the current U.S. Cavalry First Division is the most elite highly mechanized armored unit within the United States, its weaponry firepower far exceeds that of an ordinary infantry division.
Just at the squad-platoon level, they are equipped with M1 rifles, machine guns, and heavy weapons like mortars.
One can imagine the firepower of the entire division.
In the live room, someone posted detailed information, and many bullet comments filled the screen with questions:
[????]
[WTF? A squad equipped with a mortar? This setup is too outrageous!]
[This is the pinnacle of U.S. weaponry, can anyone handle this?]
[What happened to the cavalry division? What kind of demonic setup is mechanized armor?]
[Honestly, this squad setup is more luxurious than a regiment next door....]
Confused bullet comments floated through the live room.
Peng Feng, meanwhile, wandered around the camp, introducing the equipment of the unit he was in:
"See that over there?"
In the distance.
A large number of M24 "Chaffee" light tanks are lined up, gleaming with a chill under the sunlight, Peng Feng started speaking:
"Those are the tanks of the tank battalion."
"Next to it is the M3 half-track armored personnel carrier of the armored battalion."
"All used for rapid breakthrough and fire support."
Then Peng Feng walked on, looking around, suddenly spotted the artillery equipment of the artillery battalion, went over and introduced those guns:
"This is an M2 107mm mortar (4km range), right?"
"Equipped at the battalion level."
"Why do we say it's equipped at the battalion level?"
"Because reportedly, the division-level units are equipped with M101 105mm howitzers (11km range) and M114 155mm howitzers (14km range)."
"Capable of full-firepower coverage on enemy positions."
In the distance, there are also several helicopters, and Peng Feng introduces them:
"There are some helicopters over there, but reportedly used for medical evacuation and currently not combat-capable."
"Possibly related to the era's manifestation."
Peng Feng continues to walk around the camp, introducing the current equipment of the U.S. Cavalry First Division.
Leaving Blue Star players watching in a daze.
This equipment is just too over-the-top, isn't it?
However, what was shocking was not just this.
After introducing the armor equipment, Peng Feng returned near the tents of the camp, where many soldiers were cleaning their equipment or chatting in groups.
Peng Feng's gaze sweeps over the equipment, and he begins to speak:
"These are the average configurations for the infantry of the U.S. Cavalry First Division."
"That is the M20 88.9mm 'Super Bazooka' rocket launcher, mainly used for armor-piercing."
"Soldiers are generally equipped with the M1 'Garand' semi-automatic rifle."
"As well as the M3 'Grease Gun' submachine gun for close-quarters and urban combat."
"That's about the gist of the equipment. Anything else you all want to know?"
The live room was flooded with bullet comments:
[That's just about it? Do you even listen to what you're saying?! Damn?!]
[This damn equipment could sweep through a small country, couldn't it?]
[M24 Chaffee tank battalion? This is a sea of light tanks!]
[This setup should be called the 'Iron Tide Division.']
[M1 Garand + Super Bazooka, infantry firepower defies logic?!]
[Honestly, can we really be blamed for losing so fast?]
