Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 538 - 257: The Completely Frenzied Iraq Federation
The military layout of the Iraq Federation and the US Federation has been thoroughly analyzed by Blue Star players.
Now we just wait to see what the real battle will look like for both sides.
The forces of the Iraq Federation might have been effective during World War II, but now the times have changed, and the US Federation completely overwhelmed the Iraq Federation with just airstrikes.
We still don’t know the situation regarding the ground forces of the US Federation.
As time passes.
The storyline within the game quickly advances to a few days later.
On the day when the US Federation launched its ground attack. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
In Lei Cheng’s live streaming room.
The screen inside the streaming room is split in half.
On the left is Lei Cheng himself, and on the right are several streaming rooms of broadcasters with Iraq Federation and US Federation identities, all located in the Kuwait region.
This setup ensures simultaneous explanation and observation of the frontline battle situation.
Lei Cheng’s half of the streaming room displayed a map, and he began to speak:
"It’s about to start."
"This is the current map of force distribution between the US Federation and the Iraq Federation."
"I’ve marked the US Federation’s plan on it."
"You can also observe the frontline situation through the streaming rooms on the right."
"Next, let me discuss the US Federation’s battle plan."
"First, the US Federation’s large-scale feint has already begun."
"As you can see in the streaming rooms on the right, the Iraq Federation forces in the Kuwait area are making frequent maneuvers."
"This is due to the US Federation’s operations following Iraq’s expected plan."
"They are conducting large-scale bombardments along the Kuwait Federation’s borders."
"That’s right."
"They are following the Iraq Federation’s expectations."
"Because the Iraq Federation amassed hundreds of thousands of troops in Kuwait, effectively creating an iron wall defense, aiming to guard against attacks from the US Federation."
"Therefore, the US Federation played into their plans, launching attacks from multiple directions."
"And faced with such an offensive."
"The Iraq Federation indeed fell into the trap, hence you can see that many streaming rooms with Iraq Federation identities are currently on the move."
"And their destination is the area being attacked by the US Federation."
"However, the real goal of the US Federation is to strike from the Iraq Federation side to sever the connection between Kuwait and the Iraq Capital."
As Lei Cheng continued his commentary, the Blue Star players in the streaming room looked puzzled.
It’s not because of anything else.
It’s because the US joint forces that initiated the feint have already broken through the defenses and positions the Iraq Federation set up in Kuwait.
The streaming rooms with US Federation identities displayed on the right side of Lei Cheng’s streaming room showed a rapid advance.
This differed from what many Blue Star players had imagined.
No matter the situation, it should still be a steel torrent, yet the advance of the US Federation is incredibly fast, isn’t it?
Could the ground forces have some advanced technology?
Many grew curious and promptly withdrew to check out the streaming rooms on both sides to better understand the situation.
At this moment.
In broadcaster Shi Yong’s streaming room.
As a soldier of the Iraq Federation stationed at Kuwait’s border, the attacking US Federation forces were also old acquaintances.
After all, they had just come from the World War II battlefield.
The attacking US Federation troops were the very 1st Marine Division that was chased by the Volunteer Army from Riutang Village in the Peninsula War, pushed all the way to Water Gate Bridge in the Changjin Lake area.
Shi Yong even participated in the Changjin Lake campaign during World War II.
He had followed the Volunteer Army in pursuit of the 1st Marine Division.
Yet, at this moment.
Shi Yong was panting behind a sandbag cover, his heart pounding, questioning reality. He told the Blue Star friends in the streaming room:
"Damn it."
"Is mechanized warfare this absurd on the plains?"
The Blue Star players, who had previously supported the Volunteer Army utilizing terrain to battle against the mechanized forces of the US Federation on the Peninsula, were now beginning to understand the dread of mechanized forces.
Meeting them was nearly an instant attack.
The US Federation’s 1st Marine Division fired their tank cannons in volleys, with rows of armored vehicles unleashing relentless fire from their 25mm chain guns.
The frontline defenses of the Iraq Federation crumbled instantly.
The foremost tanks were detonated by shells, the explosion tearing through the tanks, the sound of ripping steel echoing in their ears.
Just a single wave of attack.
They had become lambs awaiting slaughter.
Due to the overwhelming impact, they couldn’t think of a resolution for the moment.
Tank firefight?
Impossible, the opposing tank firepower is more formidable, not to mention all those armored vehicles.
Anti-tank rockets?
At this distance, forget about launching them, even exposing oneself would result in instant death.
Just then.
A roaring sound came from the sky.
Shi Yong looked up, his pupils shrinking swiftly:
"Damn!!!"
He quickly rolled away, grabbing a sandbag to cover himself.
In the sky.
As armed helicopters soared past.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Rockets streaked across the sky like the scythes of Death, followed by an endless series of explosions that echoed until the sounds ceased.
Only then did Shi Yong push away the sandbag to peer into the hellish battlefield.
Burn marks and flames scorched the ground everywhere, the corpses of many Iraq Federation soldiers were shattered, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of burning charcoal and gasoline.
As Shi Yong grappled with what to do.
Many surviving Iraq Federation soldiers began to break down, waving any available white objects, shouting their desire to surrender, some even kneeling down.
This scene.
Stunned the Blue Star viewers in the streaming room.
