Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 495 - 237: [The Fifth Battle, the Importance of Tieyuan]
Fortunately, even though the United States is changing generals.
It currently hasn’t had a significant impact.
Because at this time, the plot is mostly a long-lasting tug-of-war with no place for maneuver, and the ’Fourth Battle’ is also nearing its end.
The Volunteer Army is fighting and retreating, using a strategy of continuous resistance to deplete the living forces of the United States.
Exchanging space for time.
The reinforcements of the Volunteer Army are also gathering at the 38th parallel.
Celestial Shark Live Platform.
In Yu Feng’s live room.
He wasn’t randomly assigned the identity of a Volunteer Army soldier, but rather that of most United States soldiers. Fortunately, being at the front line, there are still many viewers.
At this moment.
Yu Feng is sitting in the swaying compartment of a military truck, surrounded by similarly equipped United States soldiers. Yu Feng looks at the retreating scenery outside and silently shrinks his body.
Because, although nothing is visible to the naked eye, on the ’real-time map’... two Volunteer Army squads are already ambushed.
Yu Feng had just shrunk his body for less than two minutes.
Bang—
A loud noise rang out.
The military truck he’s sitting in jolts violently, and the United States soldiers inside are thrown about.
However, the crowd is evidently accustomed to it.
Quickly readjusting, they rush towards the back of the truck, outside a United States commander roars angrily:
"Enemy attack! Cover!"
The words had just left his mouth.
A dense burst of gunfire erupts from all directions.
Bullets whistle and strike the military truck. Fortunately, Yu Feng is at the rear, jumps out first, and then hides to the side, whereas some inside the compartment, closer to the interior.
Emit screams under the whistling bullets of the Volunteer Army.
Ratatatatata—
The heavy machine guns of the United States begin sweeping the forest, while other United States soldiers hide alongside the truck and fire up the mountains.
The fight lasted only about twenty minutes.
Just as the United States organized a charge, the Volunteer Army in the forest withdrew.
Only then did Yu Feng sigh, stepping out from his hiding place.
At this time, the United States soldiers returning from the charge also brought back news of the Volunteer Army’s withdrawal.
Upon hearing this news.
The furious United States commander roars with anger, but it’s also to no avail.
This scenario isn’t the first time.
It’s even their third ambush in a morning march.
Each skirmish doesn’t last long, but each delays half a day, with casualties too.
A few United States soldiers climb back into the compartment to investigate.
Now the compartment is already stained with blood, four unlucky guys died in the truck they were in, six were injured, the situation of other trucks is unknown.
But more or less, there should also be casualties.
Some United States soldiers are cleaning up, moving bodies.
Yu Feng checks the ’real-time map,’ and comments:
"Not bad, three attacks in one morning."
"It’s already two times fewer than before."
"The Volunteer Army’s main force is gathering, the area... hiss—"
"Could it be seven or eight hundred thousand?"
He clicks his tongue in amazement.
Indeed, the foundation of a great power, with such rapid troop mobilization.
Currently, only the Soviet Union, United States, and the Republic have this capability.
At the start of the Fourth Battle, the Republic only had 280,000 troops.
And as the tactical failure of the Eastern Front led to a full-line contraction of defense, the two armies on the Western Front were almost exhausted, yet this soon.
In just over a month.
Hundreds of thousands of troops transferred from the Republic are hidden near the 38th parallel.
From just the color distribution area of the Volunteer Army.
There’s at least a force of 700,000 ambushed within.
700,000.
No country in the world can easily deploy 700,000 troops.
Especially the uniquely positioned Republic.
After recovering from the First World War, the Soviet Union rested for many years before the Second World War.
But since the First World War, the Republic has never settled, with warlord battles, Japanese invasions, national liberation, up to the Peninsula Conflict.
There was never a pause in between.
In such circumstances, the Volunteer Army soldiers honed and victorious.
Suddenly gather 700,000 troops for an ambush.
You can imagine the resistance the United States assault will encounter.
Watching the barrage in the live room, Yu Feng comments:
"The Volunteer Army’s tactics have adjusted too quickly."
"The United States can’t push through."
"The Volunteer Army is persistently resisting, repeatedly contesting, and Li Qiwu has no good solution."
"However, that Van Fleet is an aggressive type."
"Next, it might be a head-on clash with the Volunteer Army, but with the Volunteer Army deploying so many troops, both sides are in for a tough fight."
In fact.
It’s just as Yu Feng said.
The critical point has arrived, waiting for the end of the ’Fourth Battle’ or when the Volunteer Army begins its counterattack.
The effectiveness of the counterattack.
The eyes of the world are focused on the Peninsula.
Especially recently, Europe.
Originally, at the end of the ’Third Battle,’ the United States was pushed back north of the 38th parallel by the Volunteer Army, and Europe, fearing Soviet expansion.
Had already produced numerous anti-war voices, urging the United States to withdraw from the Peninsula.
But to reach this level, withdrawing would be an embarrassment on the world stage.
So the United States can’t retreat.
It’s precisely because the United States suffered setbacks on the Peninsula that the Soviet Union began massive aid after the Third Battle ended.
