Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 553 - 264: [The Japanese’s Naive "Cage Policy"]
Even in the farthest live broadcast room along this line, they could already see the Japanese soldiers jumping off trains, raging as they looked at the tracks and roared.
The Japanese forces were attempting to organize a sprint forward, but there were also Red faction’s blocking points along the way.
The battle continued until dawn.
Niangzi Pass was occupied by the Red faction, the Jingxing Coal Mine, where Japan refined oil, was occupied by the Red faction, and every railway line along the way was destroyed.
Even if the Japanese wanted to repair, it wouldn’t be a short-term task.
The game plot was advancing steadily.
On the other side.
At the Jingxing Coal Mine.
Apart from the seized weapons and materials, many pieces of equipment were destroyed, and tens of thousands of laborers were liberated.
Just as Japan realized it couldn’t provide support.
They obviously thought of the situation at Jingxing Coal Mine at this time, fearing that there would be nothing left, so on the second day after occupying the Jingxing Coal Mine.
Japan dispatched a large number of bombers.
Targeting the Jingxing Coal Mine for a comprehensive bombing, seemingly wanting to bury the Red faction’s troops along with the coal mine.
Boom——!
Boom——!
In host He Hao’s live broadcast room, he was hiding in a mine pit to evade the Japanese bombing.
Boom——!
A massive shake of earth and mountain.
He Hao patted the dirt off his head and couldn’t help but curse:
"Truly insane."
"Damn."
"They don’t even want the coal mine anymore."
The outside coal mine had already turned into a sea of fire under the bombing.
And it seemed they weren’t planning to stop.
All the equipment that the Red Army hadn’t had time to destroy were now smashed up, thanks to the help of the little devils, most were demolished by themselves.
This place was no longer suitable to stay.
Seizing the pause between the little devils’ flights, the Red faction started organizing personnel to evacuate the coal mine.
He Hao decided not to escort the laborers out, instead joining other soldiers to break into small units, carrying bags of explosives.
According to the pre-assigned tasks.
Started blasting along the railway line.
Not only the ZhengTai Railway, but also the PingHan Railway and the TongPu Railway suffered successive damages.
The Japanese forces started to contract their defense lines.
Meanwhile, players on the Blue Star game forum were elated.
Due to the high number of participants, with squads able to meet players, Japan’s retreat was considered a victory by Blue Star players.
They also played no small role.
After all, they used to be chased around by the ’Earth’ troops, but finally achieved victory under the Red faction’s command this time.
Inside the Polestar Game Company.
CEO’s Office.
Zhao Ming was browsing through the discussions on the game forum.
It was rare to win with the participation of Blue Star players, unlike previous instances like Stalingrad, where being repeatedly tortured by the Imperial forces until the Soviet Union counterattacked.
This victory was under the Red faction’s command, swiftly destroying the Japanese lines in a surprise attack.
Forcing the Japanese to retreat and shift to a defensive posture.
Though the Japanese side would swiftly organize ’Three Lights’ sweeps, facing the guerrilla Red faction, they were at a loss for solutions.
This indirectly illustrated the Japanese’s lack of understanding of Huaxia’s abundance of land and resources.
Perhaps being an island nation, the Japanese seemed to have no concept of vast land.
Unaware that this seemingly perfect imprisonment policy, their manpower was far from sufficient to support this policy.
This is why, even when invading the Empire, they found themselves depleted of ammunition and supplies.
And as for Japan.
The narrowest parts of the country had an average width of only about 300 kilometers, whereas this critical segment of the imprisonment policy, the ZhengTai Railway, stretched for 243 kilometers.
Transposed onto Japan’s territory, it would almost span from one side to the other.
Yet this was only one segment of the imprisonment policy.
The full blockade line of the imprisonment policy extended about 12,000 kilometers, according to Japan’s plan, constructing roads and bunkers every 10 kilometers to form a linkage defense system.
Densely arranging strongholds along this 12,000-kilometer-long line to tightly lock down the North China Region.
That is indeed 12,000 kilometers.
A quarter of Earth’s circumference.
It’s hard to fathom how Japan thought up and executed this plan.
The plan and policy appear mighty.
But upon deeper consideration, one realizes that such a massive project, with the labor force of the time, would be difficult to fully complete.
Not to mention the substantial gaps between these strongholds and bunkers.
With gaps of 10 kilometers, even with around-the-clock patrol, there are times when they can’t be discerned.
Hence, facing the Red faction’s surprise attacks, even with timely reactions, the Japanese were still helpless against the disrupted railways, truly due to the extensive distances.
Repairing the entire ZhengTai Railway line would be akin to repairing a railway spanning Japan’s east-west lines.
Mobilizing the nation’s strength in Japan would still be feasible.
However, this is Huaxia Land, with Red faction bases and troops, guerrilla forces everywhere.
Attempting such repairs under these circumstances is nearly impossible.
But without repairing, this breach can’t be sealed.
Makes the lengthy implementation of the ’imprisonment policy’ seem like a joke.
Hearing numerous repairs over the years.
And then being collapsed by a single surprise attack from the Red faction, leaving no way to explain to the high command back in Japan.
That’s why Japan hastily reorganized forces for ’Three Lights’ sweeps after retreating to defensive positions because there was no other way.
Only by sweeping and trying to decimate the Red faction guerrillas could they possibly reclaim the ZhengTai Railway.
But sweeping the vast and resource-rich Huaxia Land... fearing they would exhaust themselves without exploring every nook and cranny, let alone the Red Army dispersed.
Tens of thousands engaging in guerrilla warfare with the Japanese sweeping units.
If the Japanese could wipe them all out, then there’s truly a miracle.
Frankly speaking.
Still, small nations have no concept of Huaxia’s greatness.... much like during the neighboring Peninsula incident.
Some Blue Star players found it astonishing when collecting spoils of war on the Peninsula, the local maps showed areas even two or three times larger than Huaxia.
If attacking Huaxia from the Peninsula, they’d have to land at the ports of Guangdong and Guangxi.
When the Blue Star players uploaded the maps, many were bewildered; isn’t the Peninsula below the Republic’s Northeast?
How does invading the Republic require going through the Guangdong and Guangxi ports?
It wasn’t just that.
Reminded by some players, the Blue Star player who found the map at the command headquarters indeed found ’dreamlike’ invasion plans against the Republic.
And it gets even more ludicrous, the plans were written according to the scale of the map.
The initial step was to journey from the southern end of the Peninsula with the powerful naval fleet of the United States, advancing straight to the Republic’s southern Guangdong and Guangxi ports.
Inserting straight into Guangdong and Guangxi from the south of the Peninsula... if the Blue Star players hadn’t seen a world map, they’d believe it. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Can you even do that?
And the plan is thoroughly detailed, envisioning the scenes and plans post-occupation of the Republic, akin to the current concept of the ’imprisonment policy.’
The pseudo-pan in the south totally unable to imagine Huaxia’s vastness, just like Japan.
The final page of the invasion plan seized at the southern pseudo headquarters contained angry annotations in English, obviously from U.S. officers who felt the southern pseudo forces had gone mad.
This small number of people still wants to invade the Republic, and damn it, from Guangxi and Guangdong?
Do they not have any common sense?
Haven’t the people from the southern Peninsula ever seen a world map?
Perhaps it’s the language barrier.
The ending was filled with incomprehensible English curse words from the United States, feeling stupid for looking earnestly at such a crazy plan.
Written until the paper was torn, leaving the combat plan with a missing corner.
