Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign

[Indeed... no one can take this on, using rifles against tanks?]

The equipment of the United States Cavalry First Division has completely changed the Blue Star players' understanding.

Even during World War II, the most elite Imperial troops didn't have such luxurious setups.

One division possesses:

Tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, grenade launchers, super bazookas, soldiers generally equipped with submachine guns and so on... this setup thrown into any part of 'Earth' would be absolute dominance.

Just looking at this configuration makes Blue Star players feel a wave of despair.

Because the situation of the Republic at present, although better than its neighbors, still relies mainly on rifles. Tanks, armored vehicles, and such are simply nonexistent.

It's like flesh and blood against highly mechanized armored units.

How do you fight this?

Blue Star players can't figure it out, just can't figure it out.

However, looking at the leisurely manner of the United States Cavalry First Division, some Blue Star players are puzzled, isn't the Republic already at war? Has the United States not responded?

Seeing this comment, Peng Feng looked around and then spoke:

"How should I put it... it's not that there's no reaction."

"It's that the United States doesn't believe the Republic has already joined the fight."

"The defeated puppet army in the South supposedly reported it."

"But the United States's top officials unanimously believe it's impossible for the Republic to join the war."

"Because everyone knows the origin of this war."

"It's the Soviet Union stirring things up, and with the United States's intelligence capabilities, there's no way they wouldn't know, especially since this area is split between the United States and the Soviet Union."

"Therefore, the United States's top officials still think it's the same as in Europe."

"It's them and the Soviet Union engaging in proxy wars."

"Their proxy war with the Soviet Union has nothing to do with the Republic joining the fight."

"That's the viciousness of the Soviet methods."

"The United States was dragged down, convinced they were there to fight the Soviet Union."

"The Republic, although aware of the Soviet scheming, cannot let others snore nearby, they must fight."

"One side fights confusedly, the other fights consciously."

"Meanwhile, the Soviet Union remains detached, taking advantage to focus on Europe during the United States and Republic confrontation."

This move by the Soviet Union is simply too ruthless.

No matter how many times they analyze it, Blue Star players always discover something new.

Just like now.

It turns out the United States has been fighting for over a month.

Still thinking they're in a proxy war against the Soviet Union, completely unaware the Soviet Union caused trouble and backed away, entangling the Republic instead.

One can only imagine how the United States's top officials will react once they realize they've been fooled by the Soviet Union.

However, it's understandable.

Given all the manoeuvres, even observing from a third-party perspective, it's hard to fully comprehend, let alone the United States in the midst of it.

So it's reasonable they haven't figured it out yet.

On the other side.

The Blue Star players aren't only curious about the United States's troops, other international alliance armies also spark their curiosity.

Many of these units, Blue Star players had not seen during World War II either, so they wish to see the prowess of various national units suddenly appearing.

Not far from the United States Cavalry First Division is the British Federation 27th Brigade.

A Blue Star livestreamer starts at the Australian Camp, this unit previously unseen, attracting considerable interest from Blue Star players.

In Zhou Hao's livestream room.

After chatting with the nearby NPC soldiers for a bit, Zhou Hao walked to a corner, observing the leisurely soldiers around him, introducing them to the Blue Star audience in his stream:

"Everyone, I've found out quite a bit."

"The full name of this unit is the 'Australian Royal Corps 3rd Battalion'."

"Currently it's the secret weapon of the British Federation 27th Brigade, known as the 'King of Melee Combat'."

"It's said that previously they charged at the neighboring troops."

"In melee combat, they eliminated over 200 people and captured more than 200 others, with only 7 injuries in the Australian Royal Corps 3rd Battalion and no fatalities."

"To say the least."

"This military feat seems a bit exaggerated?"

"But these soldiers from the Australian Camp are tall and big, along with the admiring gaze from nearby soldiers at other camps, it doesn't seem fake."

"Are they all like Lu Bu on average?"

As his words fell, comments swiftly floated by:

[Eliminating 200 in melee combat, capturing 200, and only injuring 7 of their own? Bluffing, huh?]

[Average Lu Bu, dead from laughter?]

[If these were mechanized troops crushing infantry, such a performance wouldn't be far-fetched, but melee combat? That's quite a stretch, isn't it?]

[It's not a stretch, what he said is actually true.]

[??????]

[I was among those taken during the charge, but more than half of those 400 plus were civilians roped into the ranks by their commanders....]

[That makes sense then, trained soldiers fighting civilians....]

[It bears the 'Royal' tag, having some combat capability is reasonable.]

[Why do I feel like this Australian Royal Corps 3rd Battalion looks down on everyone, seeing people through their nostrils?]

Seeing the comments, Zhou Hao spoke:

"It really is."

"Don't be fooled by the small number in this battalion, just over eight hundred people."

"But each one is tall and big."

"Taller than most soldiers from the surrounding British Federation and United States troops."

"Given their previous melee combat achievements."

"Soldiers from the surrounding British Federation and United States all fear them, and basically avoid them."

"After all, most of them kill using guns."

"Whereas these Australian soldiers kill using blades."

"The level of ruthlessness is different."

"Anyone can shoot someone, but to scarier is having such fierce achievements with knives; who would dare to bet there are not a few maniacs amidst these eight hundred plus individuals?"

"Thus, even allied soldiers from adjacent camps are afraid of them."

"This battalion is currently considered the top secret ace unit of the British 27th Brigade; the soldiers of the Australian Royal Corps 3rd Battalion need not do anything, just leisurely rest."

Listening to Zhou Hao's explanation, everyone finally understood.

Why all other units are in wartime status, even elite like the United States Cavalry First Division have soldiers preparing for battle in their livestreams.

However, this Australian troop seems to be relaxing, playing ball, and drinking coffee, turns out this is the reason.

Secret ace unit?

It's normal to have some special treatment.

However...

Blue Star players just feel these burly guys, along with their arrogant look in their eyes, don't quite match the legendary battle prowess they claim.

But those heights of nearly two meters sure intimidate.

Since they're the Royal Corps, they must be top-notch in every aspect, even their physique couldn't be poor, otherwise where would you find over eight hundred soldiers all towering above 1.9 meters tall.

And looking at the 'real-time map,' some of the Republic Volunteer Army is gradually surrounding this area.

It likely won't be long before the international allied forces organized by the United States confront the Republic head-on, then we'll see the combat capabilities of various national units.

....

Two days later.

Though two days have passed in reality, nearly a week has gone by in the game.

Now.

In Peng Feng's livestream room.

The United States Cavalry First Division is heading towards the Yunshan Region, preparing to reinforce the puppet army in the South, yet unaware that Yunshan Region has already been secretly surrounded by the Republic Volunteer Army's 39th Army.

However, Peng Feng sees everything clearly with the 'real-time map.'

Moreover, the Republic's 38th Army is also moving in to encircle Yunshan Region, apparently aiming to annihilate the puppet army in the South.

Yet due to the United States's sudden redeployment, the 39th Army's troops are beginning to act.

It seems they're preparing to launch an attack in advance.

Peng Feng grows focused, tightly gripping his submachine gun, ready to drop to ensure his safety as he livestreams the battlefield situation.
