Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 504 - 240: Cold Guns and Cold Cannons
After all, there were nearly a hundred of them here, while there were only three on the other side.
A few people discussed and then called for those around them to prepare to act.
However....
Just as they stepped forward, several soldiers of the British Commonwealth rushed towards the Volunteer Army soldier.
Ratatatatata——!!!
A burst of submachine gun fire swept through, instantly silencing the scene.
The others who wanted to follow stopped in their tracks in an instant.
Not daring to move recklessly.
But everyone knew, it was over.
Now everyone was behaving honestly.
The three Volunteer Army soldiers escorted 63 British Commonwealth soldiers back to the company in a mighty manner.
On the other hand, the viewers on Blue Star.
Also saw the previously unseen plot scenes in full.
It also filled in some points that Blue Star players questioned as unreasonable.
Why did hundreds of people face one person without resisting?
It turned out they did resist.
But were gunned down by the submachine gun....
....
At this time.
On the continuation of [World War II] here.
The fifth battle here was in full swing.
While other games of the Polestar Company.
Also experienced different developments.
With the fervor of the [World War II] continuation, the original [World War II: Empire’s Rise] also opened up the Republic’s camp.
Thus.
The first batch of World War II veteran players were either in the continuation or returning to World War II, choosing the Republic to experience the post-1939 storyline.
And new players, whether downloading World War II or the World War I series games.
Upon reaching the end.
Could connect with another series of games.
The cycle between two games.
Caused Polestar’s online numbers to break records several times.
On the other hand.
Compared to the war series games that young people are passionate about.
The audience of the [Huaxia] series is also increasing.
Because compared to the brutality of World War II.
With the timeline of the [Huaxia] series open to the Tang Dynasty.
The dynasties players can choose from have expanded from the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms... up to the current Tang Dynasty, offering plenty of experiences for players.
The culture of each era is distinct.
And the thousands of identities can almost satisfy every player’s needs.
However, there are also points where players are dissatisfied.
For instance, although the [Huaxia] series games are good, everything has to be done oneself, and some impatient players did not have a good initial impression.
After all, Blue Star is now in the fast-food era.
With photonic supercomputing, various types of games update and iterate rapidly.
If a game doesn’t provide thrill immediately, the impatient might abandon it.
To this, Polestar could only respond that they are working on a fast-paced version of the [Huaxia] series game tools, which needs extensive testing before launch.
After all, the game hasn’t reached the later stages.
If it’s done like this from the start, very soon the game will be deserted.
In just one year.
By relying on games from the [World War I], [World War II], and [Huaxia] series IPs, Polestar Company has transformed from a new company into a rising giant.
But the main contributors are still the [Huaxia] series and [Earth] series IP products.
Previously, other companies also attempted such merchandise.
But no one was able to do it like Polestar.
The [Earth] series IP, selling World War II airplanes, tanks toys, some carbonated drinks, and alcoholic beverages, although occupying market share, is not significant.
However, the [Huaxia] series IP takeaways are very extraordinary.
Who knows how a game could create tens of thousands of dishes.
Even if you change three dishes daily, it would be nearly ten years of variety.
Especially now with Blue Star’s technology, though various foods are synthesized, the proportions and flavors are identical to the original.
So the delicacies in the Huaxia series became the most sensational.
After all, the ingredients that were considered protected or extinct on Earth can be recreated with the exact same taste and texture through precise adjustments on Blue Star.
Centuries-old dishes improved over the years.
Naturally surpass the culinary creations developed in a short time by this planet that rose after the meteor shower on Blue Star.
Swaying all the restaurants in the Great Xia Federation.
And Polestar’s rise.
Also gave many dream chasers on Blue Star hope, excitedly preparing for this year’s upcoming "Anti-War Competition."
After all, the events of a year ago are still vivid in memory.
Polestar initially became known to the public as a game plagiarist, but in just one year, grew from an ordinary company to an industry giant.
Although such a rapid rise as Polestar’s hasn’t been seen in many years.
Most often, a company flames out after a burst of popularity.
But now with Polestar’s example, what if one becomes the next?
And there are many keeping an eye on Polestar Company.
After all, given Polestar’s game quality and the speed of its spread over the year, it was uncertain if they would participate in this year’s "Anti-War Competition."
There was plenty of online discussion as well.
Some hoped Polestar would participate, thus introducing new series games.
Some didn’t want Polestar to compete, fearing another victory might monopolize, disheartening the dream chasers.
Regarding these online discussions.
Someone also reported them to Zhao Ming.
However, Zhao Ming didn’t pay much attention to them.
Still watching the backend plot data.
Currently, many soldiers of the Great Xia Federation have experienced the [Iron Origin Defense Battle] here several times.
It’s time to unlock the next plot.
....
Meanwhile.
In the Northern Land of the Great Xia Federation.
Songgel Ice Field.
In the training room of the Seventh Special Operations Brigade.
With the simultaneous opening of training cabins.
Many soldiers rose from the training cabins, their emotions still unsettled.
Chief of Staff Qu Guang commanded the Battalion Commander Liu Feng of the Special First Battalion to take the soldiers to rest, while he himself sat in the training cabin to catch his breath.
Challenging.
Very challenging.
The "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" tactic of the 189th Division was the first phase.
After almost all 200 positions were exhausted.
Their roles switched collectively to the incoming 188th Division.
With the blood-soaked resistance of the 189th Division.
Time was gained for the rear to dig fortifications, and the 188th Division used defensive works and employed a "tiered defense system" for in-depth defense, even so.
In the end, they could only engage in close combat with the United States soldiers, wielding grenades and bayonets.
Restraining the United States units’ advancement to just 1 kilometer per day.
However...
After 4 days, the 188th Division was also exhausted.
And this time.
These soldiers of the Great Xia Federation became the replacement 187th Division Volunteer Army soldiers.
With the 188th Division’s experience of blocking the enemy.
The 187th Division’s soldiers remained steadfast in their positions, but launched continuous night assaults. Under the blockade of three divisions from the Volunteer Army’s 63rd Army for nearly two weeks.
The United States finally faltered due to excessive casualties.
The battle of the 187th Division lasted from June 8th until the evening of June 12th, when the main forces at Iron Origin retreated, ending their engagement.
And the Volunteer Army achieved nearly impossible results.
With over twenty thousand infantry on an undefendable plain, they blocked nearly fifty thousand mechanized armored units for half a month.
The United States poured more than 4,500 tons of ammunition daily on positions held by only 30 men.
Yet they did not break through the defense of the 63rd Army.
Experiencing the perspective of soldiers from the 189th, 188th, and 187th Divisions also greatly honed the combat skills and willpower of the soldiers, just needing more physical training in reality.
Qu Guang stood up from the virtual cabin.
About to step out to rest as well when Shen Yan walked in:
"Zhao Ming has unlocked new keys."
"It’s the ’Cold Guns and Cold Cannons’ campaign and the Battle of Shangganling."
Upon hearing this. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Qu Guang became interested:
"The Battle of Shangganling?"
"Great."
"Start organizing training right away."
Qu Guang’s gaze made Shen Yan show a peculiar expression, knowing that previously it was him, the Brigade Commander, who was mad about training, with Qu Guang the Chief of Staff being the good guy.
Now, it’s the other way around.
Seeing this, Shen Yan chuckled:
"We just finished training, no rush."
"This ’Cold Guns and Cold Cannons’ is quite interesting."
"Let’s test it ourselves first."
"This one doesn’t require gathering, it’s individual."
