Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 491 - 235: Turning Point of the Fourth Battle
As the United States’ army commander Li Qiwu cursed, they truly are nothing but fleeing heels.
It was merely a brief engagement.
The Southern puppet army, which had just started to organize a resistance, instantly collapsed under the stimulus of the Volunteer Army’s bugle call, disintegrating into a rout.
They all ran backward without turning their heads.
Fearing they’d lose their lives if they ran just a little bit slower.
As for Jin Bin, trapped here, he chose to honestly surrender as a captive.
Observing the surroundings, many other Southern puppet army captives were timid, some could not help but cry in pain, clearly terrified by the rumors.
Afraid of what the Volunteer Army might do to them.
And those Southern puppet army soldiers who fled were falling one by one under the pursuit of the Volunteer Army.
In the distance.
The Federation forces in the city began to react.
Flares shot into the sky one after another.
The Federation’s howitzer positions roared deafeningly, shells streaking through the night sky, landing on the routes where Southern puppet army fled and Volunteer Army was chasing.
Boom boom boom boom—!
Hard frozen soil mixed with smoke erupted into the air.
Jin Bin watched as the bodies of three Southern puppet army soldiers were torn apart by the impact of a shell; these Federation troops disregarded the situation of their allies.
Sss——
Blue Star players gasped in astonishment within the live stream.
Indiscriminate bombing, indeed.
But upon reflection, the Southern puppet army collapsed by merely a charge call was better off eliminated by a single shell.
Such soldiers, once they flood back to the defense line.
Who knows what might happen then.
This indiscriminate bombing by the Federation also terrified the Southern puppet army, making them flee in panic even more.
Soon.
The Federation’s armored defense line confronted the Volunteer Army charging ahead.
One flare after another illuminated the sky.
The dark night appeared as bright as daytime; the Federation’s armor showed significant usefulness at this moment, as the firepower of the Volunteer Army was insufficient to break through these armored vehicles.
Suddenly.
A dense bugle call burst forth from the southeast!
The Federation forces were in an uproar, as a lieutenant of the Federation angrily shouted orders to distribute forces to resist the southeast’s attack.
But the next moment.
Shells rained down.
Two Federation tanks were destroyed on the spot, followed by intensive gunfire.
Immediately.
The bugle sound also echoed densely from the northwest!
Not just one direction.
Attacks from the Volunteer Army came from all directions of Hengcheng.
The Federation commanders on this side were unable to conduct effective command in such a chaotic scene, not knowing where to defend for a moment, compounded by the Southern puppet army’s collapse.
They even blocked many bullets for the Volunteer Army.
Jin Bin crouched on the ground with his head in his hands, watching the scene from afar, suddenly understanding why Li Qiwu, the Federation’s army commander, was so enraged, cursing the Southern puppet army.
With such allies, aren’t they pure traitors?
How could such a barely harmed, organized team collapse and rush back into their own defense lines?
Jin Bin crouched honestly on the ground here.
And at this time, the beginning of the Hengcheng counterattack battle also led many Blue Star players to view from various angles.
The fierce assault lasted all night.
Only slightly pausing at dawn, as the Volunteer Army’s maneuvers had already sealed the roads surrounding Hengcheng, and the next step was to encircle and annihilate the enemy within Hengcheng.
....
The next day.
Great Xia Federation, Seventh Special Operations Brigade.
Inside the lounge.
During the lunchtime break, many soldiers gathered in the meeting room to watch the in-game battle situation.
Blue Star had passed the night, and in the game, it was already the third day.
At this time, the smoke had already settled in Hengcheng.
The situation everywhere was of cleaning up the battlefield.
Groups of captured Southern puppet army and Federation soldiers queued dejectedly, escorted by Volunteer soldiers toward the rear detention center.
Many Volunteer Army soldiers smiled; although their uniforms were stained with dirt and blood, their eyes shone with the pride of victory.
Such scenes were not commonly seen.
There was a live stream from the captive’s perspective.
Like Jin Bin, who was a soldier of the Southern puppet army; they were all captives.
Yet he was venting anger, verbally abusing, or even trying to fight the Federation soldiers aside.
The other Southern puppet army couldn’t understand those words.
But being a player, Jin Bin could understand, and he didn’t show the timid demeanor of the puppet army either when facing either the Volunteer Army or Federation soldiers.
He directly fought with the Federation captives beside him.
Blue Star viewers in Jin Bin’s live stream showered him with gifts, but soon several Volunteer soldiers separated them.
At some point.
Qu Guang entered the meeting room, and the surrounding soldiers couldn’t help but admire him:
"Chief of Staff, it really is just as you said."
"Then isn’t the next step to penetrate and attack the Western Front enemy?"
A soldier beside him inquired.
Qu Guang looked at the ’real-time map’ on the live stream projection, and said:
"That depends on the Federation’s situation."
"From the current perspective."
"The Federation’s Eastern Front troops have already retreated across the line, but there is still one place remaining."
"This is somewhat unexpected."
Qu Guang pointed with his finger, the soldiers in the lounge followed his gaze.
On the ’real-time map,’ the Federation’s Eastern Front troops were retreating line-wide, yet only in the ’Jipyeong-ri’ area the Federation troops remained motionless.
Not entirely motionless.
They moved a distance backward but soon returned.
Clearly having intentions to retreat.
But the orders above didn’t allow retreat.
