CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 119 GIVE ’EARTHLINGS’ A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE! (3.8K)_2
It’s almost impossible to complete, not to mention it’s only November.
By December or January, players who want to take on the challenge might freeze to death on their first night in the game.
Fang Ming was speaking to the stream and couldn’t help but laugh, imagining many players getting frozen stiff. This Moscow Defenders Medal challenge is truly tough.
Looking at it this way, the Stalingrad Medal might be a bit easier.
Could it possibly be less insane than minus twenty or thirty degrees, wild rifle guerrilla warfare with Imperial armor for half a month?
After sighing, Fang Ming snapped back to reality.
Then he took a screenshot of his Moscow Defenders Medal and posted it on his Celestial Shark Live account space, and also on the Federation’s headline account.
Fang Ming then stretched lazily and said to the stream:
"Guys, I’ve been playing all night."
"Let me catch some sleep first."
"We’re just one medal away from making it into the Hall of Fame. Tonight, I’ll analyze the battle and see when the Imperial front line can reach Stalingrad."
"After that, I’ll restart the Moscow campaign."
"Being chased for half a month, I need to go in and wreak some havoc."
With that said, he swiftly ended the stream to get some rest.
After half a month of guerrilla warfare outdoors, Fang Ming had no idea about the situation on the Moscow battlefield, fantasizing about commanding troops to wreak havoc....
...
On the other side.
Mo Xiaomo’s stream.
"What? Lost again???"
"Wasn’t that a whole regiment?!"
"How so fast?!"
Listening to the report over the phone, Mo Xiaomo was overwhelmed while looking at the map:
"How is the Imperial infantry also so insane?!"
Initially, she thought that after slowing down the Imperial armored units because of severe cold and heavy snow, it would be easier, but after the Soviet Union Federations shifted over here, Mo Xiaomo realized it wasn’t the case at all.
The intensity of the battles was too high.
Her Blue Star players here were insufficient to sustain.
In just three days under Imperial bombardment and airstrikes, a whole regiment was lost.
If we look across the entire front line.
According to the Moscow Defenders Medal’s introduction, this war eventually led to more than a million casualties for the Soviet Union, averaging a regiment lost every day during this period.
It’s absurd!
But in this situation, Mo Xiaomo didn’t have a good solution either, and the Soviet Union wouldn’t supplement her forces.
Her reinforcements were all Blue Star players, yet those who could become front-line soldiers were all beginners.
So, sending them is a ’rapid consumption,’ continue reinforcing, and again ’rapid consumption,’ already forming a vicious cycle.
On the other side.
In the Imperial Camp.
The brigade commander streamer Cheng Yu, who had been battling Mo Xiaomo’s side, also received a military order from the Imperial side, dispatched to the front line to fight against the Soviet Union.
But it was a bit later compared to Mo Xiaomo’s side.
So seeing Mo Xiaomo getting beaten by Imperial NPCs, Cheng Yu was somewhat gloating.
However, as his troops were shipped to the front line, after several days of fighting, Cheng Yu was also somewhat stunned.
Boom—!
Boom—!
Outside the camp, the Soviet Union’s artillery kept bombarding the positions surrounding Cheng Yu’s armored brigade, even hitting armored tanks.
Cheng Yu hurriedly commanded his troops to evacuate, he himself jumped into a vehicle and was forced to retreat to the rear.
While his Blue Star players who couldn’t escape in time or tanks that hadn’t started up were already captured or handled by the rushing Soviet military NPCs.
Cheng Yu sat in the car, couldn’t help but look back:
"Damn."
"How are the Soviet Union’s combat capabilities this strong?!"
"This is deadly."
Previously, the bullet chats of both streams were often watching each other because of mutual engagement.
But now, seeing Cheng Yu faced with chaos.
The bullet chats started to notice something off, how come the Soviet Union streamer was getting beaten, and the Imperial streamer was also getting thrashed?
There are only these two camps, why are both getting hit?
Isn’t it?
Feeling a bit confused now?
Let’s figure it out....
The Imperial streamer is getting thrashed, the Soviet Union streamer is getting beaten.... eh, this can’t be right???!
Where’s the issue?!
Thinking about it, the bullet chats remembered.
Previously, it was weaklings pecking at each other, now they are directed to fight against the ’Earth’ native NPC troops, those ’Earthlings’ are too strong!
Just thinking about this, the stream viewers started spamming the bullet chat.
[Streamer, don’t be afraid, show the ’Earthlings’ who’s the boss! Prove that Blue Star players are not to be trifled with!]
[Right right! They are just ’NPCs’! How could they overpower us humans? Let’s brainstorm together, use the full map (real-time map), can’t we handle them?]
[Getting bullied by NPCs like this, say it out loud and you’d be laughed at!]
[Streamer, turn back! Catch them off guard!!!]
Cheng Yu looked at the bullet chat, couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
It’s easy to talk when not experiencing it, why don’t you let yourself get bombarded?!
"Quick quick quick!"
"Speed up!!!"
As the bullet chats floated by, it was all mocking.
[Streamer is too cowardly, not fit to be a Blue Star citizen!]
[So embarrassing, losing face inside the game already.]
[Luckily those ’Earthlings’ are NPCs, or the streamer would be laughed at incredibly.]
Cheng Yu looked at the bullet chat, couldn’t resist opening his mouth, I’m afraid you....
Swoosh—
The screech of artillery fire rang out in the sky, as the convoy just covered a few hundred meters.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
Hit by a round of artillery bombardment.
In the pitch-black streaming screen, only Cheng Yu’s word popped out:
"Damn!"
...
Afternoon.
After more than half a day of fermenting.
On the first day of the Battle of Moscow initiation, players who chose to challenge the medal tasks have started gradually showcasing their Moscow Defenders Medals.
All across the network currently there are at least over three hundred people.
It seems quite a few.
But from Polestar’s server data, there are over fourteen million players just participating in the Battle of Moscow from the Six Major Federations.
And more than eight hundred thousand took on the Moscow Defenders Medal challenge.
But until now, only slightly more than three hundred have succeeded.
Though tens of thousands are still ongoing, but judging by this ratio, there won’t be many by the end, especially when Moscow enters December, January.
It’ll reach minus 40 degrees.
Under such conditions for guerrilla warfare, you’d freeze to death in just a night, Zhao Ming reckons by the end, maybe just a thousand and eight hundred players will have obtained the Moscow Defenders Medal.
Though it seems not few.
But if flooded into the Hall of Fame, it’s still too many.
Thus the final medal is the Stalingrad Medal, the difficulty in obtaining this is several times harder than the Moscow Defenders Medal.
If a thousand can obtain the Moscow Defenders Medal, getting a few for the Stalingrad Medal would be good, might even be nobody.
As to why... because Zhao Ming is now designing the Stalingrad battle dungeon.
Based on the exchanged data, Zhao Ming was wandering through the structures inside the dungeon:
"Kitchen... Imperial Soldiers, living room... Soviet Soldiers."
"Here, put two Soviet Soldiers on the third floor, place two Imperial Soldiers on the second floor...."
"Hide two at the entrance...."
