Chapter 484: Chapter 484
In the live broadcast room of the United States.
The host Cao Ze randomly assumed the identity of a United States military operations staff officer.
Through this identity, he learned quite a bit of intelligence.
Cao Ze’s current match is also set in the [Battlefield of the United States], so the timeline has progressed to the ’beginning of the third campaign’, where the southern puppet army was annihilated.
The entire defensive line is forced to retreat.
The progress on Cao Ze’s battlefield is a bit slower than the first batch.
The first batch of battlefields had already liberated Han City.
In contrast, Cao Ze was a day late, and is currently in Han City, commanding soldiers from the United States to burn all documents and destroy heavy weapons that cannot be taken away.
Watching the great fires raging throughout the city, Cao Ze walked back into the command vehicle.
Several senior officers from the United States were smoking, and their expressions were not good.
One United States officer cursed under his breath:
"Damn it, those guys are advancing too fast! We don’t even have time to destroy the documents!"
Another United States officer stubbed out his cigarette and said irritably:
"That old bastard MacArthur is still bragging about ’ending the war before Christmas’."
"Hell, are they really human?"
"How did the troops up front collapse like that?"
Cao Ze silently stood to the side, pretending to look for documents, but his ears were perked up.
Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room were also curiously watching these United States NPCs chatting.
A United States officer, while tearing up documents, spoke:
"Weren’t there supposed to be cease-fire negotiations?"
"Why is there no news at all?"
The officer next to him said:
"It was all just to fool those yellow-skinned monkeys, but those guys didn’t fall for it."
"I called my brother a couple of days ago, who is serving in Europe, and he received orders last month to prepare to come here."
"The higher-ups are planning something big to teach those yellow-skinned monkeys a lesson."
Cao Ze and the Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room clicked their tongues.
They really are shameless.
Receiving orders last month?
Wasn’t that in December?
The cease-fire negotiations were proposed by the United States at the beginning of December.
Yet, while talking about ’cease-fire negotiations’, they were secretly transferring veterans from all over the world to the peninsula.
Lucky that the ’Republic’ didn’t stop.
Otherwise, they would have been caught off guard.
However, this plan is really not that good... as rough as it can be....
A United States officer sighed:
"Why not drop a couple of those things?"
"Hasn’t that old bastard MacArthur been clamoring to drop them, the sooner the better to end the war."
Another officer shook his head and said:
"You think the higher-ups haven’t considered it?"
"If the damn Soviet Union hadn’t made one, it would’ve been dropped long ago."
"Now they have the Soviet Union backing them."
"Dropping it would just give them an excuse."
"If they bomb us back, we won’t have a good time either."
A command came over the radio:
"All units retreat immediately!"
Upon receiving the order.
The United States officers in the command vehicle did not hesitate and immediately ordered the driver to retreat, while the large United States forces in Han City also began to leave.
As the United States retreated from Han City, the Volunteer Army continued their pursuit.
However, the now consolidated joint forces began to resist in stages, temporarily blocking the Volunteer Army’s advance.
Subsequently, the two sides stalled along the 37th parallel.
The third campaign ended (December 31, 1950, to January 8, 1951).
The Volunteer Army switched to a defensive posture to rest and resupply.
Meanwhile, the United States, aiming to regain the initiative, redeployed a large number of experienced World War II veterans from the homeland and around the world to the Korean battlefield.
Cao Ze’s live broadcast room.
The popularity of the stream skyrocketed into the top ten of the section.
The reason for this surge.
Is because after the ’third campaign’ ended on January 8, both sides began a battle of wits at the command level.
First, facing the Volunteer Army’s offensive, the newly appointed United States 8th Army Commander, Li Qiwu, ordered small armored units and artillery groups to harass the Volunteer Army positions.
If there were any signs of a Volunteer offensive, the troops would immediately retreat and call for air support to cover the withdrawal.
The unit Cao Ze was in was one of these small armored units carrying out harassment missions.
On the sand table inside the command vehicle.
Several United States officers were moving markers based on reports from soldiers up front, calculating something.
Many newcomers to the live broadcast room from Blue Star were confused.
Cao Ze waited a moment, then walked to a corner and hung up screenshots of the sand table in the live room to explain:
"This is the United States’ new tactic from the 8th Army Commander, Li Qiwu."
The sand table detailed daily movements of both the Volunteer Army and the United States, and something was beginning to take shape. Cao Ze pointed at three markers belonging to the Volunteer Army and said:
"Utilizing the United States’ mechanized advantage, maintaining a ’faint contact’ battle with the Volunteer Army north of the 37th parallel."
"Through small daytime probing and extreme distance withdrawal at night."
"In just a few days."
"The United States has already figured out the Volunteer Army’s night raid limits."
"Approximately a distance of 20-30 kilometers."
"Beyond this distance, the Volunteer Army’s offense will cease."

[Wow? This new army commander has some skills, huh?]
