Chapter 345: Chapter 345
"The Jinzhou and Eastern Advance Corps have 250,000 troops, Shenyang has 350,000 troops, and Changchun has about 100,000 Blue Army troops."
"A total of about 700,000 Blue Army troops, assuming 100,000 are left for defense."
"Once the railway line is unobstructed."
"Then during the subsequent [Pingjin Campaign], the 520,000 Blue Forces trapped in Beiping will receive reinforcements through this unblocked railway line."
"They will receive support from nearly 600,000 Blue Forces."
"In this case, the result of the [Pingjin Campaign] may be rewritten, and the liberation speed of the [Republic] would be severely slowed."
"When those two superpowers react, it will be extremely difficult for the [Republic] to break the deadlock."
"This is also why the [Liaoshen Campaign] is called the ’first of the three great battles of liberation,’ and the [Tashan Defense Battle] is even more critical."
Listening to Celestial Secret’s commentary, the Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room were all shocked.
Even the military of the Six Major Federations carefully examined the map, realizing the true gravity of this chain reaction.
Mo Xiaomo exclaimed on this side:
"And if they fail to hold it, the consequences would be quite severe."
"By the time those two superpowers react...."
The consequences need no further explanation — it might lead to direct military intervention.
Mo Xiaomo looked at the map:
"Fortunately, the Red Army has made sufficient preparations."
"The defensive lines in the Tashan area are tight."
"This is why they achieved final victory."
Celestial Secret nodded, looking at the information sent by Zhao Ming, and said:
"Compared to the [European Battlefield], the battles on the [Republic] side are more complex, where a single misstep affects the entire situation."
"If one only thinks on the first layer, they might not even understand how they lost."
"If not for these materials, I might only have seen the superficial first layer."
"I wouldn’t have realized the importance of the [Tashan Defense Battle]."
"It is only with a clear view of the larger picture and these materials that we can understand so much, showing the brilliance of the strategist."
The Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room couldn’t help but nod.
They had information and a clear large-scale map, and it was only through the commentators’ explanations that they gradually understood.
Commanding a battle is not something just anyone can do....
Who would have thought the [Tashan Defense Battle] would affect the outcome of the [Liaoshen Campaign], and the [Liaoshen Campaign] itself impacted the entire national strategic situation, if the nationwide strategy altered significantly.
Such deep layers of circumstance are not easily conceived.
Not only were they shocked.
At this moment, generals from the Six Major Federations were also studying the publicly available materials of the [Tashan Defense Battle] and [Liaoshen Campaign], along with the national map.
The generals of the Great Xia Federation were also frowning slightly.
Because initially, they hadn’t realized that the [Tashan Defense Battle] would influence the entire situation, leading to such substantial changes later.
Even if someone considered it, they only thought up to the third layer.
Impacting the situation in the Northeast Region.
They completely overlooked the connections to the fourth and even fifth layers....
As the commentary by Celestial Secret and Mo Xiaomo was disseminated online, video of the [Tashan Defense Battle] spread.
Many Blue Star People, who had not initially paid attention, developed curiosity after watching the video, and hurried to search for the Federation military exercise live broadcast.
As more and more people joined.
The Great Xia Federation quickly dispatched more personnel, sending some generals and advisors to the live broadcast room to discuss with Celestial Secret and Mo Xiaomo.
This made the situation much clearer.
With the demonstrations from the Great Xia Federation, other federations also started to imitate.
What was originally a live stream of the [Luzon Island Campaign].
Gradually transformed into a live analysis of the battles of the [Republic]. Although there weren’t many detailed materials on each campaign, the [Republic] timeline.
And some players in-game managed to find bits of newspaper reports.
People continuously asked questions, and the hosts in the live broadcast room analyzed and answered.
Now, within the game, in the live stream rooms of the Six Major Federations.
The outcomes gradually became evident.
Facing the United States’ 60,000-strong island landing, along with hundreds of warships and aircraft bombings, normally it surely wouldn’t hold.
MacArthur’s landing became a key turning point for the major federations.
The Great Xia Federation was the first to emerge victorious once again.
The camouflage and sniper skills honed through constant engagement with the ’White Reaper’ became decisive, as they located MacArthur on the landing.
An 8-person sniper team, lying in wait for a long time, simultaneously aimed at ’MacArthur.’
The outcome is self-evident.
The Great Xia Federation was the first to trigger the death CGI of [MacArthur].
Then the Free Star Cluster Federation and the Slavic Energy Federation consecutively performed similar actions.
However, the Slavic Federation acted rashly, lacking a bit in technique.
Because the Free Star Cluster and Great Xia Federations triggered death CGIs, whereas the Slavic Federation triggered a CGI of MacArthur retreating while holding his arm.
Still, it didn’t cause much of a stir.
Now everyone’s attention was focused on analyzing the [Republic]’s battles.
Many Blue Star netizens discovered.
Compared to the [European Battlefield]’s steel torrents, solely about attrition.
The [Republic]’s battlefield often anticipates one move and plans for three, but you must also consider unseen layers where they might be planning five moves.
More fascinating than any other strategic game.
