Chapter 461: Chapter 461

Perhaps it wasn’t the case that no one in the United States of America saw through the intentions of the Soviet Union.

But there was no alternative.

They were already set in motion and couldn’t stop.

Even though the Republic had already seen it, there was no way out either, as you can’t allow others to snore next to your bed.

Whether to fight or not, they had to fight.

Yu Feng then pulled out the information on other joint forces and said:

"Aside from the United States of America, the Republic, and the local neighbors’ northern and southern forces."

"I’ve also collected some information on the remaining forces."

"First up is the British Commonwealth, who sent the most troops among those mentioned earlier, deploying 14,000 men in the early stages of the war."

"But... it seems a bit too few."

"This number even falls short compared to the casualties suffered by the United States of America and the Republic in the past two days of fighting."

"Other federations and countries have even fewer troops."

"The much-discussed Australian Royal Regiment’s Third Battalion has over 2,000 soldiers."

"About this Australian Royal Regiment’s Third Battalion."

"It made its debut in World War II, truly gaining fame during the Pacific Theater by engaging in bayonet fights with the depleted Japanese."

"Resulting in the complete annihilation of the opposing forces, while only a dozen of their own suffered minor injuries."

"They’ve always believed themselves to be invincible in bayonet fights."

"Honestly... it’s pretty absurd."

"Against neighboring forces, they wiped out over 200 soldiers with bayonets, but only sustained 7 injuries themselves. That is understandable, since those were temporary farmers conscripted."

"But achieving such results against the Japanese in bayonet fights is truly somewhat absurd."

"The intensity of the Japanese bayonet charges shouldn’t have been outmaneuvered by them."

It’s not surprising that Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens in the live-stream questioned it.

At the time of World War II, single-soldier combat effectiveness was suppressed, and aside from the Republic, there was only the Japanese left, considering their previous rampage in Southeast Asia.

Blue Star players had also experienced the madness of the Japanese.

Yet you say during the Pacific Theater of World War II.

Australian Camp achieved zero fatalities and total wipeout of the Japanese during their relentless charge when out of supplies.

This couldn’t help but cause Blue Star players to call it outrageous.

Fortunately, there were quite a few players during World War II’s Pacific Theater, and after Yu Feng mentioned the specific battle, players began searching for previous video data.

Indeed, they found a player’s perspective, although not from the Australian Camp, but they had watched the battle.

The actual situation was that the Japanese garrison on the island had been besieged by the United States forces for days, reaching the point of eating turf.

Though it was a desperate charge, it was really after being starved for days, seeking to take down a few before dying.

Those Japanese soldiers, although shouting charge, appeared intimidating, but their steps were faltering.

On the other hand, nearly a thousand sturdy Australians, almost two meters tall, with bellies full of food, charged with bayonets, naturally achieving a record of zero own casualties and total annihilation of the Japanese.

Then they enjoyed five years of honor, followed by joining the British Commonwealth military forces.

Entering the neighboring area of the Republic.

Ironically, they encountered a group of farmer conscripts, again achieving a record of over 200 kills with zero casualties and only 7 minor injuries.

If they hadn’t encountered the Republic forces.

This Australian Royal Regiment’s 3rd Battalion could be considered children of destiny.

In both battles, they harvested the remnants and enjoyed five years of honor.

As a result, when they encountered the Republic volunteer army, 30 rushed into the nearly thousand-strong Australian Camp and devastated it, leaving the Australian Battalion Commander removed after the battle.

Yu Feng continued to reveal information about other nations’ forces:

"Next is the French Federation."

"The French Federation also sent over 1,000 troops to participate in the battle."

"The Turkish Brigade has over 5,000 men."

"Netherlands Federation 800 people, New Zealand Federation 900 people.... Luxembourg... uh, sent 44 people."

"And then there’s the Colombian Federation, Thai Federation, etc., all over 1,000 people."

"In general." Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"It’s still a contest between the Republic and the United States of America."

"Because when small countries go to war, they can’t match the scale of large countries, just like the troops other countries sent, apart from the British Commonwealth and Turkish Brigade with several thousand men able to put up a fight."

"The rest would mostly be wiped out in one wave."

"Consider the Australian Camp being chased and killed by 30 volunteers; if it weren’t for the firepower points of the British Allied Army’s 27th Brigade on the other side, I assume they would be annihilated."

The Blue Star players in the live-stream couldn’t help but agree.

The Empire and Japan, during World War II, had already demonstrated that without a large territory, logistics fall short, and without sufficient logistics, one is exhausted to death.

Later in the war, the Empire had tanks just idling around.

During the mid-term, Japan disregarded everything to attack the British colonial possessions in Southeast Asia to seize oil resources.

War is always about attrition; with such little joint military forces.

Blue Star players estimate that later on, only the United States of America will have combat power remaining.

But even this tiny troop force will be insufficient for the battles ahead, barely enough for the volunteer army’s fight.

The Blue Star players discussed the in-game situation amongst themselves.

While on the side of the Great Xia Federation’s military.

They watched as the real-time map of the battlefield of the United States of America gradually came to clarity, with both sides currently deploying troops, yet the forces were gradually converging.

At this point, as they observed the troop placements on the map, locations like Sanshuli, Longyuan Village, familiar to the soldiers of the Great Xia Federation, were marked on the map.

In-game, the Republic volunteer army started to clash with the United States of America troops.

Compared to the first battle.

This time, the volunteer army was somewhat conservative, maintaining the entire front line while gradually retreating backwards.

In the Great Xia Federation, Northern Army.

At the headquarters of the Seventh Special Operations Brigade.

Brigade Commander Shen Yan and Chief of Staff Qu Guang studied the situation on the islands, with Qu Guang looking at the positioning of both sides on the map and said:

"The battlefield of the second campaign is divided into two sides."

"The main Western Front is the Yunshan Region and the ensuing Sanshuli."

"The main Eastern Front is the Changjin Lake Region."

The storyline of "Bloody Battle of Sanshuli" they experienced earlier happened during this second campaign, and now with the display of the complete map.

The situation of the battle was much clearer.

The Republic employed the tactic of enticing enemy penetration, seemingly allowing the US 9th Army to advance steadily, but they were actually lured deep.

The next inevitable step would be once the enticement succeeded.

The 38th Army flanked around, penetrated 72.5 kilometers in 14 hours, cutting off the US 9th Army’s retreat.

They indeed experienced this storyline.

Only previously unaware of the entire battlefield, now they’ve thoroughly enjoyed understanding it.

Admiring the volunteer army’s command.

Yet quickly their attention shifted to the adjacent Changjin Lake Region.

They had experienced the second campaign’s "Bloody Battle of Sanshuli" and knew most of what followed, but the Eastern Front, Changjin Lake, was still unfamiliar territory.

They were unsure about the specific situation.

Shen Yan searched it up and was a bit surprised:

"How come on this live-stream platform, all perspectives on the Changjin Lake Region are from the United States of America?"

"Where are the Republic’s perspectives?"

Qu Guang took a glance and said:

"Perhaps the Republic’s storyline isn’t suitable for players to experience."

"After all, during the forced marches of ’Bloody Battle of Sanshuli,’ many of our warriors trained for a long time to merely persist, giving ordinary people participation would simply be tormenting them."

"Including the first battle’s ’Yunshan Battle’ from a few days ago, we didn’t open much of the Republic’s perspective."

"On the contrary, we were allowed to experience ’Yunshan Battle,’ bombed by US planes and artillery."

"I reckon once the fighting starts at ’Changjin Lake,’ it will be open for us, while ordinary players will likely get the US perspective."
