Chapter 468: Chapter 468

"But their firepower is too poor."

"Apart from a few cannons, they only have rifles."

"Their rifles don’t have such a long range, can’t hit the core here, those killed by the shells are just unlucky."

"It’s very difficult to break through our outer troops."

"However, the enemy is taking advantage of the terrain, and there’s nothing we can do."

"You can’t see anything at night."

"We can only hold our ground and wait until daylight for reinforcements."

"Bombers can continuously bomb those big mountains."

"By then, we’ll show them what we’re made of."

The words of this United States veteran gave a lot of confidence to the new recruits.

But looking at the distance.

The only thing they couldn’t figure out was how these Volunteer Army troops suddenly appeared?

Because of this sudden battle.

Many Blue Star players stayed awake, planning to stay up all night to watch the ’live broadcast’ of the battle.

It’s not just the Blue Star players paying attention.

The military forces from various federations are also watching through various streamers’ perspectives.

Unlike the ordinary Blue Star players.

The perspectives of various federations have been integrated, separating the streamers from all areas, laid out on the projection, making the peninsula battlefield clear at a glance.

In the Seventh Special Operations Brigade of the Great Xia Federation.

Shen Yan has already entered the virtual body’s sensing pod for a meeting and research.

Meanwhile, Qu Guang was analyzing the battle situation with the battalion and company level officers of the Seventh Special Operations Brigade, while the soldiers below sat upright with curiosity, watching the projection ahead.

The current situation on the Western Front is that the US 9th Army, lured into an ambush by the Volunteer Army, has its retreat cut off at Sanshuli, now retreating westward to join with other forces.

On the Eastern Front at Changjin Lake, the battle has just begun, because all the United States officers never expected so many Volunteer Army troops here.

The original plan of the United States was to advance on both Eastern and Western Fronts, reaching the banks of the Yalu River before Christmas.

While the Volunteer Army aimed at deep enemy penetration, followed by isolation and annihilation.

The US 9th Army on the Western Front sensed something was wrong but was surprised at Sanshuli by the Volunteer Army, cutting off the US 9th Army’s retreat.

This move directly separated the already unlinked Eastern and Western Fronts in the middle.

The US 9th Army on the Western Front couldn’t break through ’Sanshuli’ and was forced to retreat westward towards Su Chuan, while during the retreat of the US 9th Army, the supposedly smooth sailing US Marine Corps 1st Division.

Was ambushed by 100,000 troops of the Volunteer Army at this point.

Qu Guang looked at the live broadcast room in the ’Changjin Lake’ area and spoke to the officers and soldiers below:

"You should mainly observe the tactics of the Volunteer Army."

"Because in large-scale battles."

"It’s mostly something considered by the higher-ups, but the battles of the Volunteer Army can be studied to improve oneself."

Next to him, the battalion commander of the Special First Battalion, Liu Feng, said:

"Chief of staff, don’t we have exclusive scenarios for battles?"

"You should talk about the big picture."

"Everyone is happy to hear that type of thing."

"Like what’s generally going to happen next in the battle at Changjin Lake."

Upon hearing, Qu Guang glanced at the surrounding battalion and company officers, and the expectant soldiers below, smiled and said:

"Alright, then let’s analyze."

"But it’s not guaranteed."

The soldiers may somewhat understand or not understand at all.

However, for officers of a certain level, looking at the battle situation, they can more or less analyze the situations and goals of each side.

Battalion and company level may see partially, while veteran staff like Qu Guang can analyze almost entirely.

Looking at the current peninsula situation, Qu Guang spoke:

"After the second battle began, the goals of the Volunteer Army are very clear."

"They aim to devour all invaders from the United States."

"However, limited by the weaponry at the time, this goal couldn’t be achieved."

"On the Western Front, the [Bloody Battle of Sanshuli] cut off the US 9th Army’s retreat."

"Forming an encirclement group."

"Unfortunately, the equipment is far too different, the mobility of the US 9th Army is too high, they chose to turn around from Sanshuli and head west to merge with other forces."

"The Volunteer Army cannot chase them now."

"However, the goal of the Volunteer Army on the Western Front has been achieved."

"Currently, we can see the US 9th Army fleeing west."

"During the chase by Volunteer Army, they also caused considerable casualties to allied forces, such as the Turkish Brigade."

"The US 9th Army merged westward with the US 1st Army, then fled south from the Su Chuan area."

"So, what’s the next location?"

"It’s the neighboring core city."

"And this should also be the next target for the Volunteer Army because once the city is liberated, for the [Republic] and the remnants of the neighboring forces."

"The morale boost wouldn’t be ordinary."

Listening to this, the soldiers suddenly became enlightened.

Qu Guang continued, turning his gaze towards the Eastern Front:

"Looking at the Eastern Front now."

"The Changjin Lake area, many have analyzed online."

"Both the Volunteer Army and the United States had intelligence discrepancies, annihilation is unlikely."

"Looking at the map."

"Roughly divided into several key points."

"Currently, the United States troops in the Changjin Lake area are divided into three parts."

"Riutang Village, Xinxing Village, and Hagaru-ri."

"Among them, Hagaru-ri is the command center of the Marine Corps 1st Division."

"Riutang Village is the main force of the Marine Corps 1st Division."

"Xinxing Village is the United States 37th Division’s fortified regiment, this regiment also has a nickname, the Arctic Bear Corps."

"The corps that went on an expedition to Siberia during World War I, later was decorated personally by the then President of the United States, interested can start in the ’World War I’ series games to experience Siberia."

"Now about the current situation."

"Due to intelligence misjudgment by the Volunteer Army, the forces in all directions cannot reach the state of annihilation battle, especially at Riutang Village."

"The United States has 9000 mechanized troops against 12000 Volunteer Army infantry."

"Annihilation is impossible, since it can’t be annihilation, then it should be defeating one by one."

"Riutang Village, Xinxing Village, Hagaru-ri."

"Which one is the easiest to attack?"

The soldiers below shouted in chorus:

Qu Guang nodded and said:

"It’s Xinxing Village."

"Because compared to the 9000-main force at Riutang Village, and the Marine Corps 1st Division command post with an airfield at Hagaru-ri."

"The United States ’Arctic Bear Corps’ at Xinxing Village is the easiest to be annihilated."

"In the next situation, the Volunteer Army should launch a fierce attack on Xinxing Village."

"Whether the next step is an offensive on Riutang Village or Hagaru-ri is uncertain, but it can be seen that all roads in the United States Changjin Lake area are cut off."

"The road from Koto-ri wanting to head to Hagaru-ri for support is full of Volunteer Army troops."

"Should the United States flee."

"Then it will be a catastrophic scene."

"Because looking at how the Volunteer Army is deployed, they clearly intend to bite down on the United States Marine Corps 1st Division."

"The roads from Riutang Village to Hagaru-ri and from there to Koto-ri, both sides are occupied by Volunteer Army’s commanding height positions."

"Just the retreating part would cause many casualties."

"Not only here, once retreat, the back end of Koto-ri definitely won’t hold, if Koto-ri doesn’t hold, if Water Gate Bridge gets struck once....."

As Qu Guang’s words fell.

Many gasping sounds arose, how many United States soldiers would be wiped out?

Just imagining that scenario, Great Xia Federation soldiers felt a chill in their heads.

From Riutang Village to Hagaru-ri, then to Koto-ri, and then to Water Gate Bridge, it’s a distance of no less than 50 kilometers.

It’s hard to imagine the feeling of being ambushed all along a 50-plus kilometer stretch.

Furthermore, besides roads, this place on the peninsula is filled with mountains....

While fleeing, Volunteer Army units occasionally appear on the mountains on both sides. Thıs content belongs to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

This surely gives the United States Marine Corps 1st Division soldiers a trauma?
