Chapter 487: Chapter 487

When the tanks advanced to within dozens of meters, the Volunteer Army on the ground suddenly erupted, all rifles and grenades exploding fiercely.

Soldiers of the United States following the tanks were instantly blown over by grenades.

Meanwhile, soldiers of the United States in the rear quickly dropped to the ground, while machine guns on the tanks crazily swept over, suppressing the Volunteer Army’s firing points.

But some Volunteer Army soldiers, holding packs of explosives, quickly rushed towards the tanks.

Trying to stuff the explosives underneath the tanks.

Two explosions, but only one tank was destroyed.

Following closely was the frenzied machine-gun fire from the surrounding tanks.

Yet it was all in vain; the morale had already collapsed.

Moreover, some Volunteer Army soldiers had already leaped from the trenches, engaging in close combat with the United States soldiers ahead. Read complete versıon only at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

Hand-to-hand combat was even more terrifying.

The first wave of attack by the United States was thus repelled.

Having experienced the tactics of the Volunteer Army, the United States quickly adjusted.

The sound of bombers roared in the sky, followed by the sentry’s voice.

"Take cover! Air raid!"

No sooner had he shouted than the bombs had already descended.

The entire hilltop shook violently, the napalm bombs igniting the dry grass and trees on the ground, heat waves swept over the entire position, and such burning and bombing continued for a while.

Thick black smoke was still billowing from the entire position.

Perhaps thinking it was enough.

The infantry of the United States launched another charge, this time, leading to even more fierce hand-to-hand combat within the trenches.

Bayonets, engineer shovels, gun butts, even stones and teeth became weapons.

Jiang Jie fought with a bayonet for the first time, his arm was pierced, yet he stubbornly smashed a United States soldier’s head with the gun butt, slumping to the ground, gasping for breath.

Hand-to-hand combat lasted for half an hour, barely retrieving the position, but Jiang Jie’s second platoon had only 7 men left.

However, not even two hours had passed.

The United States launched another organized attack.

Artillery shelling, bombing, tank assault, infantry strong attack... repeatedly changing tactics, yet failing to break through this Baimonshan position.

The steadfast defense of the Volunteer Army’s 50th Corps, 447th Regiment.

Unbelievably to the veteran soldiers of the United States brought from all over the world, bombs had been thrown on that hilltop countless times, why does it seem endless?

Little did they know....

All over the peninsula battlefield, there were Volunteer Army positions .

Facing the steady advance of the United States.

The Volunteer Army timely adjusted strategy.

Though players and streamers on Blue Star couldn’t access higher-level commands, couldn’t analyze.

However, some hardcore military simulation players and military high-ups from various federations watching the Volunteer Army’s ’west holds, east releases’ strategy vaguely sensed something.

In the Seventh Special Operations Brigade.

During the weekend break, many soldiers gathered in the lounge, watching the live broadcast of the ’Fourth Campaign’ happening now.

It was the official live stream they were watching.

Not only did they have a host explaining, but also real-time switching of battle situations.

Chief of Staff Qu Guang at some point walked inside.

Upon seeing Qu Guang.

The soldiers below started to clamor:

"Chief of Staff, tell us something!"

"Yeah, this host is unprofessional; I’ve listened for ages but haven’t felt any insightful analysis."

"Right, it must be you, Chief of Staff, explaining!"

Last time during the Battle of Changjin Lake, Qu Guang analyzed a lot.

Later, as the United States directly retreated, completely avoiding confrontation, but the initial part including the start of Changjin Lake, was articulated accurately.

This led many soldiers to heckle Qu Guang to speak again.

Qu Guang smiled, walked over, looking at the various live rooms on the screen and the real-time map of the ’Fourth Campaign’.

Seeing the United States advancing smoothly on the Eastern Front, Qu Guang inexplicably found it familiar, pondered a bit, and then spoke:

"Let’s talk about it."

Saying this, Qu Guang tapped the device on his wrist.

Then took a picture of the ’real-time map’ and projected the map photo in front of the live room projection, began to speak:

"What can you discern from this map?"

"Why is the United States advancing quickly on the Eastern Front?"

The battlefield is similarly divided into Eastern and Western fronts.

The target of the United States forces on the Western Front is Han City, defended by the Volunteer Army’s 38th Army and 50th Army.

The target of the United States forces on the Eastern Front is Hengcheng, defended by the Volunteer Army’s 39th Army, 40th Army, 42nd Army, and 66th Army.

The United States is attacking in full force, but the speed of advancement on the Eastern Front is much faster than on the Western Front.

Soldiers below shouted one after another:

"Report! Because the Western Front has the Han River terrain hazard, making it difficult for United States tanks to cross!"

"No, it should be that the Eastern Front has a more open terrain, suitable for mechanized forces to unfold, hence the rapid pace."

"It should be that the 38th Army can really fight, combined with terrain reasons, resistance is strong."

Many soldiers voiced their opinions.

Qu Guang slightly curled his lips, drawing a few lines on the projection, lines appearing on the map accordingly, prompting him to speak:

"All correct, but none hit the mark."

"The main forces of the Volunteer Army on the Eastern Front are retreating while fighting, whereas on the Western Front, they are firmly holding the Han River, doesn’t it seem peculiar?"

"What is the Volunteer Army best at tactically?"

From the period of resisting invasions, to the peninsula here, almost without thinking, many soldiers blurted out:

"Luring the enemy deep!"

Qu Guang laughed, clarifying:

"Exactly, luring the enemy deep."

"On the side of the United States, there is full-scale attack, but now the Western Front won’t budge, while the United States’ forces on the Eastern Front have penetrated deep into the Volunteer Army’s territory."

"So what should logically happen next?"

Qu Guang then tapped the image again, drawing several arrows.

"Let the forces of the United States on the Eastern Front get separated from those on the Western Front."

"Subsequently, it’s very likely to concentrate forces to segment, encircle, and annihilate the United States forces on the Eastern Front battlefield."

"However, given the United States’ logistical capability and firepower."

"The Volunteer Army wanting to annihilate the United States forces on the Eastern Front is rather challenging."

"But even if not annihilated, as long as the United States forces on the Eastern Front battlefield are defeated, then the Eastern Volunteer Army can possibly move westward."

With these words, Qu Guang clicked on the projection.

Then moved positions on both sides and drew a slanted arrow.

Upon seeing this scene.

Many soldiers from Great Xia Federation on Blue Star in the lounge, widened their eyes.

For this scene was too familiar.

This is practically a repeat of the [Bloody Battle of Sanshuli], where the United States’ 2nd Division was cut off by the 38th Army .

Although Qu Guang also poured a cold dose:

"This is merely a simulated outcome."

"Actual results may not be as ideal."

"Firstly, there’s the difference in firepower and logistics between the Volunteer Army and the United States, making it almost impossible to annihilate the United States."

Although the United States has only 230,000 troops, they are all mechanized units.

While the Volunteer Army has 280,000 troops, they’re all infantry with only rifles.

The numbers almost don’t give an advantage, with such a disparity in firepower, it is nearly impossible to annihilate the United States forces, hence in the Eastern Front battlefield, merely segmenting the United States forces counts as a success.

Even so, many soldiers engaged in discussions, studying possible upcoming battles.

Qu Guang occasionally answered questions from soldiers below.

And as for his own simulation, he didn’t care too much.

After all, it’s merely an external viewpoint simulation, last time simulating Changjin Lake, it was simulated that the Volunteer Army would annihilate the ’Arctic Bear Corps’ and fully encircle the United States forces in Riutang Village.

In the end, the ’Arctic Bear Corps’ was annihilated, but the United States forces in Riutang Village had no intention of continuing the fight.

Who could have guessed?

Therefore, after simulating this time, Qu Guang also watched the development of the battle situation, more so the scenes of Volunteer Army positions in each live stream room.

Because the battles at these Volunteer Army positions were crucial to whether the ’west holds, east releases’ plan would succeed.

And so far, it is apparent the United States hasn’t realized the Volunteer Army’s tactics yet.
