Chapter 389: Chapter 389
And these battles occurred both before and after the [Four Crossings of the Chishui River].
By observing the locations of these events, Blue Star players have also picked up some intelligence, as judging from the battle circumstances, it is evident that the original bases were abandoned.
Looks ’First Counter-Encirclement’ success is just the beginning.
There are still many difficult battles ahead.
And right after that.
Before long, in the game involving Qiao Bo and Chu Yao,
The ’Second Encirclement/Counter-Encirclement’ operation was triggered, and the speed with which it was triggered surprised the Blue Star’s netizens.
After all, looking at the in-game time, only three or four months had passed.
And the second wave of battles began.
In Chu Yao’s live stream.
Since the plot was half a day faster than the red side Qiao Bo’s, they received the news first.
At this time, Chu Yao had just come out of the conference room, returned to his room, and was sharing the news with the Blue Star water friends in the live stream holding the document:
"Brothers, the news is out."
"First, Nanjing has sent additional troops again this time."
"From more than 100,000 last time, it’s increased to 200,000 this time."
"Second, they changed the command."
"The original commander of the ’Army, Navy, and Air Force Headquarters in Nanchang’ Lu Diping was replaced by He Yingqin by the Whampoa Principal."
"This He Yingqin is quite something."
"According to the official rank, he is now the ’Defense Minister’ of the ’Republic’."
"Position-wise, he’s equivalent to people like MacArthur of the United States, but his specific capabilities are unknown."
"After all, there are many big shots on the red side, and even the Whampoa Principal got beaten."
"Don’t know if this personnel change can work."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bullet screen of the live stream was filled with question marks:
[Whoa! 200,000 strong army? Is that necessary? The red side only has over 30,000 people now?!]
[He Yingqin = Republic’s MacArthur?]
[How should we say this comparison...]
[Laughing to death, can’t win, so changing people, isn’t this just pure shameless rolling tactics?]
[Suggest changing the live stream title: "On the Republic Defense Minister personally going down to fight guerrillas"]
[Place your bets! Place your bets! Bet on how many days He Yingqin can last without being counter-encircled!]
[Aren’t you underestimating people a bit? Haven’t even started fighting and you think the blues will surely lose?]
[Are you betting on the blue side?]
[Then... I’m definitely betting on the red side.]
Through Chu Yao’s explanation, the Blue Star netizens in the live stream also understood.
Looking at it this way, this He Yingqin’s level is indeed very high.
A Republic Defense Minister is a top-tier position in any country or federation.
But the majority of people in the live stream still supported the red side.
While Chu Yao was talking,
The bullet screen of the live stream scrolled:
[Go see next door, someone triggered the third counter-encirclement!]
Not only were the water friends in the live stream bewildered, but Chu Yao was also dumbfounded.
Goodness, there’s a third time?!
Chu Yao and the water friends in the live stream followed the bullet screen prompt to find it.
As soon as they entered the live stream.
It was the red side soldiers’ host, who was preparing to move as per orders.
The host Liu Xu in the live stream was sharing the news from his side:
"Currently the troops are preparing to move."
"Because we just received news that Nanjing has sent 300,000 troops to encircle this time."
"And it’s personally commanded by the Whampoa Principal."
"I don’t have much information over here, any Blue side players and hosts who triggered the third one, remember to privately message me, let’s do a joint broadcast."
Liu Xu was also ready to do a joint live stream for the ’Third Encirclement/Counter-Encirclement’ like Chu Yao and Qiao Bo did earlier.
Looking at Liu Xu’s words, Chu Yao didn’t feel much.
After all, they didn’t conflict.
He was on the ’Second’, Liu Xu was on the ’Third’.
Just looked at the time in Liu Xu’s live stream.
Chu Yao switched back to his live room with a bit of powerlessness to complain:
"The first ’encirclement’ ended in January 1931."
"The result is the second ’encirclement’ started in April 1931."
"Liu Xu’s live stream is the third ’encirclement’, and I see it’s July 1931."
"First 100,000, second 200,000, third 300,000...."
"A bit ridiculous, right? So many people can’t handle over 30,000 people!"
"This is pure incompetence!!!"
Chu Yao couldn’t help but shout.
Since they initiated the third one, it indicates the second also failed.
100,000 troops didn’t defeat 40,000.
200,000 troops didn’t defeat over 30,000.
Don’t know what the situation is with 300,000 this time... but judging by the operation during the [Liaoshen Campaign], and the operation during the ’First Encirclement’,
It’s estimated that red will achieve another ’Counter-Encirclement’ victory.
The more Chu Yao thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed:
"I need to take another look."
Switched back to the previous live stream.
At this moment, Liu Xu was helping villagers pack up their belongings.
Watching the red side troops not forgetting the villagers even with a big battle at hand, Chu Yao could only feel admiration.
After tidying up, as the troops were departing,
The villagers tried to pass various things over, but all were stopped, and Liu Xu then revealed the above battle plan.
Still the ’lure the enemy deep’ strategy.
This left not only Chu Yao with questions, but all Blue Star players who understood the ’First Encirclement/Counter-Encirclement’ plot with questions.
Because this was the strategy used by the red side during the ’First Encirclement/Counter-Encirclement’ plot.
Back then, the red side’s orders were "lure the enemy deep in, wait till they’re exhausted, and annihilate them".
And then it was the completely annihilated 18th Division.
’Second Encirclement/Counter-Encirclement’ hasn’t started fighting yet, the specific situation is unknown to Chu Yao and Blue Star players.
But the ’Third Encirclement/Counter-Encirclement’ using the lure strategy again....
Is the blue side really stepping into the same pit repeatedly??
