Chapter 483: Chapter 483

"The Soviet Union only needs to provide some equipment and personnel support to the Republic, and they can shake off the United States, this big trouble."

"It’s truly advantageous."

"But this strategy is really going to make people hate them."

"Later on, it’s likely that there will be conflicts between the Republic and the Soviet Union."

This remark was agreed upon by the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room.

This is not how you act as a leader.

Look at the United States across the way. When their little brother on the peninsula was bullied, they gathered the International Alliance Army from 17 countries to fight back, they really mean business.

Still taking the lead in the charge.

Meanwhile, the Soviet Union stirs up its little brother to act first, then hides away.

Until the United States forces reached the Yalu River, forcing the Republic to step in, the Soviet Union was still observing until the ’Second Campaign’ pushed the United States back across the 38th parallel.

All kinds of support, equipment, and personnel were sent in a large scale.

Having such a leader gives you no other choice.

The key is, besides the Republic, the other allies have no choice but to go down this path, even if they are dissatisfied, because the situation in Europe is even worse than in Asia.

There, the Soviet advisors have already parachuted in to take over the defense affairs of their allies.

In Southeast Asia and the peninsula, at least there is the Republic as a buffer, granting some degree of autonomy, you can’t bypass it.

If it weren’t for the Republic standing in the way.

The situation in these Southeast Asian countries wouldn’t be much better than in Europe, fearing they’d be cleaned out by the parachuted advisory team, each turning into satellite states.

However, these small countries can’t take notice of all this.

After all, their history is too short.

It’s only through the Soviet Union’s manipulations that Blue Star players, standing from an outside perspective, looking at the entire Earth, through Polestar’s CG and the information explanations collected by major hosts,

that Blue Star players can understand.

And locally on Earth, even the United States has fallen into a trap set by the Soviet Union without realizing it.

Let alone the small countries in Southeast Asia.

It’s feared that the Republic’s events on the timeline, like the China-Vietnam incidents, also have the shadow of the Soviet Union behind them, this method is truly terrifying.

Blue Star players have no doubt.

Even if they had the intelligence and became high-ranking officials in some European or Southeast Asian countries, they’d still be no match for the leaders on the Soviet side.

It’s not just about cunning tactics.

Force is the biggest problem.

No one can withstand the Soviet Union’s table-flipping; whichever federation disobeys, they simply initiate a cleansing skill, kill them all first, then parachute the advisory team....

Yu Feng is over here explaining various pieces of information.

In Fang Ming’s livestream room.

The perspective switches to the Volunteer Army, currently hiding in an air-raid shelter on the north bank of the Linjin River, the United States reconnaissance planes flying overhead now and then.

They haven’t detected the nearby Volunteer Army.

At this time, in the area north of the 38th parallel, with nearly 310,000 troops from the Republic and local soldiers, a full-scale attack is launched.

In some places, the fighting has already begun, but Fang Ming hasn’t received any orders yet.

So for now, they can rest for a while.

Having randomly got the Volunteer Army identity, naturally, the longer they live, the better.

Fang Ming brought up the ’map’ in the livestream room.

Looking at the troop deployment on the opposite side, Fang Ming couldn’t help but laugh:

"The United States is really ruthless over there."

"They’ve placed all the Southern puppet troops at the first line of defense."

"So even if the Volunteer Army attacks."

"The ones being eliminated are the Southern puppet troops, leaving sufficient time for their own forces to adjust."

The barrage in the livestream room also floated by.

[6666, putting the Southern puppet troops in front....this might crumble too fast.]

[Indeed, considering the combat strength of the Southern puppet troops.]

[The United States commander is trying to preserve their own forces, but they didn’t consider the combat strength of the Southern puppet troops....Pushed to Busan by the neighboring country, how much combat strength could the Southern puppet troops have.]

[The neighboring country pushed the Southern puppet troops to Busan, the United States forces then pushed the neighbors to the Yalu River, the Republic pushed the United States back north of the 38th parallel....]

[Now the Volunteer Army here is preparing to attack north of the 38th parallel, and the defending troops there are the Southern puppet troops, the outcome is obvious.]

It is exactly as jokingly noted in the barrage.

Placing all the Southern puppet troops to resist the Volunteer Army’s attack on the front line does indeed maximize the preservation of the United States and allied forces’ combat power.

It also facilitates timely tactical adjustments.

But they overestimated the fighting power of the Southern puppet troops and underestimated their ability to run.

As of December 31, 1950, in the afternoon, the Volunteer Army launched an all-out attack.

Fang Ming followed the team.

Livestreaming the speed of the Southern puppet troops’ defeat on the other side was simply astonishing.

The Volunteer Army initiated a forceful crossing of the Linjin River after sunset.

After crossing the Linjin River, it took less than 30 minutes to destroy the Southern puppet troops’ defense hub at Linjin River, leading to a continuous retreat of the puppet army.

The Volunteer Army’s forces advanced 5-10 kilometers across the board, completely breaching the defense line south of the 38th parallel set by the United States, and the Southern puppet troops all fled.

And this took less than 6 hours.

The speed at which the Southern puppet troops retreated was rarely seen from World War I to World War II.

Even if the purpose of placing the Southern puppet troops on the first line of defense for the United States was to buy time for their own forces, the puppet troops ran too fast.

This left the United States no time to adjust.

Located on the second line of defense, the US 24th Division, British 29th Brigade, US 25th Division, and other units hastily engaged in battle.

The British 29th Brigade was defeated by the Volunteer Army, and simultaneously, the retreating US 24th Division was surrounded by the Volunteer Army, and the puppet 1st and 6th divisions of the Southern puppet troops were completely annihilated.

Fang Ming, following the main forces, had already reached the vicinity of Han City.

Thick black smoke was billowing over Han City in the distance.

Sporadic gunfire came from within the city, but artillery occasionally shelled outside the city.

Fang Ming used the livestream zoom function to look at Han City in the distance.

He could vaguely see the chaotic scenes inside the city.

The barrage floated by in the livestream room.

[What’s happening, an internal conflict?]

[No, the United States is planning to flee.]

[Aren’t they going to fight?] Latest content publıshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩

[Why fight, the defeat was too swift, they’re preparing to run.]

A mass of the United States forces was hastily retreating from Han City.

Explosions and flames erupted in the city during the afternoon.

Through the zoom function, Fang Ming saw the United States destroying the bridges, stations, and some buildings in Han City, seemingly intending to leave only ruins behind.

The Volunteer Army, waiting in the northern suburbs of Han City, watched the city shrouded in smoke from afar.

Everyone couldn’t help but clench their fists, for the scenes were all too similar to the past experiences of the Republic.

On the morning of the 4th.

The main forces, having received orders, advanced towards Han City.

Fang Ming followed the team into Han City.

There were no soldiers guarding the gate, and the city was deathly silent, with smoldering embers from last night’s fires still emitting thin smoke, and the air was filled with a strong smell of smoke, gasoline, and scorching.

The expected battle did not occur.

The speed of the United States’ retreat was not much slower than the Southern puppet troops, and they left nothing behind.

Ruins and debris lay everywhere.

Destroyed tanks, burned-out car skeletons, abandoned military supplies, and personal belongings of soldiers littered the ground.

Many buildings had been consumed by fires, leaving only charred frames.

The entire front line was already approaching the 37th parallel north.

Due to the rapid advance.

The Volunteer Army’s logistics and supplies were struggling to keep up, and the United States seemed to have noticed this issue, starting to gather heavy troops near the 37th parallel.
