We promised to develop a game called Candy Crush, what the hell is the Third Reich?

Chapter 166 [Battle of Okinawa] Bloody Battle of Hacksaw Ridge (5.8k, 2-in-1)

Seeing myself die in such a ridiculous way.

Yu Feng and the other netizens in the live stream now understand why the United States is researching weapons of mass destruction to use against Japan.

Previously, I had only focused on the European and North African campaigns and had never paid attention to the Pacific theater.

Who would have thought that the intensity here would be so outrageous?

The plane was used as a suicide bomber.

Yu Feng didn't have many opportunities to control aircraft. In the North African campaign, he mostly controlled tanks, so he didn't have enough time to maneuver and dodge. He started the second round while complaining.

The screen lights up.

Still in the air, but thankfully the position is good this time.

On the edge of the battlefield.

From Yu Feng's cockpit view, he could clearly see swarms of Japanese fighter jets densely packed in the clouds, like locusts.

These fighter jets are just strange.

Instead of adopting any tactical formation, they dispersed, searching for their own targets, and charged straight towards the fighter group from the American Free Federation side in the sky.

Another group, under the cover of the vanguard, swooped down.

The target was pointed directly at the U.S. Freedom Federation fleet below, and screams and angry voices came through the radio.

The American Freedom fighter squadron in the sky, some went to fight the Japanese, while others also swooped down to intercept them.

Yu Feng gasped in shock.

Damn it!
So this is Japanese tactic?!
Just like when we were in Southeast Asia.

However, back then these guys were riding bicycles as human bombs.

They're using airplanes as bombs now.

Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?!

Yu Feng then realized that this move was indeed ruthless.

Compared to aerial combat where players straf each other with their mounted machine guns, this method involves directly ramming into the target, making it exceptionally fast.

They saw Japanese fighter planes ramming towards them.

The planes of the American Free Federation either swarmed and destroyed them, or if they weren't destroyed, they were too late to dodge and were directly hit, resulting in mutual destruction.

Therefore, the fighter jets on the American Free Federation side try their best to avoid shooting at those Japanese fighter jets.

However, airplanes in the sky can avoid it.

The warships below couldn't do anything about it; their movement speed was already slow.

Japanese fighter planes swooped down and hit their targets every time.

The anti-aircraft guns on the warships kept firing, and there were also US federal fighter jets coming to intercept them.

But as long as it wasn't completely destroyed immediately, even with black smoke billowing from its tail, the Japanese fighter jet in the air could still be seen trying to maneuver and crash into the warship below.

boom--!
A Japanese fighter jet, trailing thick black smoke, spun through the air at an almost vertical angle and crashed into a U.S. federal destroyer on the sea, striking the center of the hull and smashing through the deck.

Flames shot into the air from the explosion, subsequently triggering a secondary explosion inside the destroyer.

The powerful tearing force ripped a large gash in the middle of the steel ship, allowing seawater to pour in continuously.

The U.S. federal soldiers on deck screamed and jumped over the railing into the sea.

However.
Two more Japanese fighter planes, billowing black smoke, crashed into a nearby warship.

However, it seems that due to the severe damage, it did not hit the warship below directly, but instead landed on the sea surface.

Boom——! !

A huge fireball spread across the sea.

Even more frightening is that the fuel leaked from the fighter jet floated on the sea surface and spread in all directions.

The U.S. federal soldiers who had just jumped off the warship were too slow to swim away and watched helplessly as the burning fuel consumed them.

The despair they felt was beyond words.

Yu Feng piloted the plane, diving down to intercept.

Fortunately, his sense of being a top sniper was still there. After only two probing shots, he had calculated the trajectory of the bullets and began to straf the Japanese fighter planes in the sky.

Just a moment.

They destroyed three Japanese fighter planes in succession.

But before Yu Feng could continue searching for targets, two fighter planes from the Japanese flight formation turned around and charged directly at him.

Startled, Yu Feng quickly increased the altitude while calculating the distance to prepare to turn around and fire.

But the sudden shudder of the plane made his heart skip a beat.

He had just climbed to high altitude and hadn't even had time to turn around and dive to fire when another Japanese fighter plane swooped down from the sky, heading straight for him, and was already close enough to get right up to him.

Yu Feng cursed under his breath:
"rough!"

"are you crazy!"

Yu Feng pulled the control stick, causing the aircraft to roll in the air, narrowly avoiding the oncoming Japanese fighter jet.

However, the tail fin was still scraped, and the fuselage shook violently. Although the direction could still be controlled, the shaking was too severe to aim and fire.

Yu Feng could only circle in the air before facing the pursuing Japanese fighter jet head-on. After making a rough assessment, he unleashed a torrent of bullets from his machine gun, which spat fire.

Sparks flew from the opposite aircraft.

The Japanese fighter plane that was trying to give chase then had its right wing severed and began to glide downwards in flames.

Yu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression quickly changed.

Seeing that there was no hope for the Japanese fighter plane gliding downwards, it simply aimed at a U.S. federal warship below.

It glided and crashed down.

But by then it was too late to stop them.

Yu Feng watched helplessly as the Japanese fighter plane crashed into the destroyer.

boom--! ! !
A huge fireball rose from the bow of the destroyer, and the flames instantly engulfed most of the ship.

Yu Feng's face was unusually grim.

They shot down a Japanese fighter plane, but lost a destroyer and countless soldiers of their own side.

This is equivalent to the soldiers who died and the destroyer that sank.

Half of it is his responsibility.

Thankfully he was a player, but even so, he was still very uneasy.

One can imagine what the NPCs on 'Earth' are thinking.

Seeing that although he had successfully shot down a Japanese fighter plane, that same plane had taken the lives of countless soldiers on his side, he felt immense regret and torment.
Using weapons of mass destruction feels too lenient on them; killing them countless times wouldn't be enough to quell our hatred!

It's alright for him to be a player, but if those native NPCs from 'Earth' encountered this situation after an aerial battle, anyone with a sense of morality would probably send them straight to see a psychiatrist.

Yu Feng made some adjustments, and the plane turned around again.

In the clouds ahead, a fighter jet painted with a strange red sun symbol suddenly swooped down, heading straight for Yu Feng's fighter jet. Yu Feng had no time to dodge, and there was also a problem with the tail of the aircraft itself.

It made a difficult halfway turn in mid-air.

The Japanese fighter jet was already upon them.

Through the cockpit, both sides could even see each other's faces up close.

The pilot of that Japanese fighter plane was just a young man of about 20 years old, with a white cloth tied around his head. He charged forward, shouting something with the same ferocious and resolute expression.

Look at those lips.

The voice had already automatically appeared in Yu Feng's mind.
boom--!
The flames engulfed Yu Feng's perspective.

In the live broadcast room.

Yu Feng rubbed his temples:

"Outrageous."

"That's outrageous."

"They're a bunch of brainwashed lunatics."

These guys, once they took off, had no intention of coming back alive; they were looking for US federal planes to crash into.

Many of the viewers in the live stream had also played the Pacific Battlefield game, and the chat was buzzing with comments.

Now you know why the US federal government is developing weapons of mass destruction, right?

Indeed, these guys really do try to take someone down with them even when they're about to die.

Although the battlefield here isn't as large as the European theater, the capture of each island resulted in significant casualties, and there was already considerable discontent within the US and among the soldiers.

Fortunately, the fighting has reached Japan's doorstep; otherwise, the soldiers within the US federal government would likely have protested first.

Yu Feng looked at the comments and nodded.

indeed.

Okinawa, where we are currently located, is Japan's last line of defense.

As long as we take this place.

This would allow them to directly attack the Japanese mainland.

But if this continues, the casualties will be too great. So, where exactly is the research on 'weapons of mass destruction' progressed?

As Yu Feng pondered this, he opened the Tiansha live streaming platform.

I searched for that live stream room, and the title was still the same: "[Online Handcrafting of 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' to Nuclearly Destroy the Earth!]".

Meanwhile, Ding Rui, the host in the live stream, was watching.

This is an explanation of the current situation, regarding the US federal nuclear tests, which have reached the final stage.

The final "triad nuclear test" is about to be carried out.

This is the first nuclear test ever conducted by humankind on Earth, and there can be no carelessness whatsoever.

Moreover, scientists in the laboratory also experience fluctuations at such times.

Because if it were successfully manufactured, it would face a moral dilemma that could cause large-scale civilian casualties. The director of the laboratory insisted on military priority, which led to a major argument with the scientists who were worried about the consequences of nuclear weapons testing.

From the perspective of the host, Ding Rui, in the live broadcast room.

The arguing could be faintly heard inside the laboratory, indicating that the scientists were not of one mind.

Ding Rui explained that there were scientists from the Empire inside the laboratory.

Although the empire has now been defeated.

However, the scientists on the Empire's side dared not gamble on whether the United States would use it on the Empire in the future, so the main conflict arose between the scientists on the Empire's side and the scientists on the United States side.

Looking at the introduction in the live stream.

Although Yu Feng didn't understand what a 'nuclear test' was, he searched using the photon supercomputer but found no information.

However, there was an introduction to Blue Star's previous "nuclear tests." Looking at the introduction, Yu Feng addressed the Blue Star viewers in the live stream:

"Well, things might be a little different here than on Earth."

"This 'triad nuclear test' on 'Earth' is their name."

"Our unit is 'Experiment Code Name xxx'."

"Although the names are different, the specific procedures are similar."

"The research has reached its final stage."

"Once the detonation is successful..."

"This means that 'Earth' has entered the atomic age."

"This war is almost over."

"Given the power of nuclear weapons, once deployed on the battlefield, the entire 'Earth' would be without an adversary."

After Yu Feng finished speaking, he looked at Ding Rui's live stream.

They were still explaining when the experiment would take place; it seemed that if successful, it would likely be deployed to the battlefield. I watched for a while.

It's all data and stuff, and even with the explanation from the Photon supercomputer, I only half understand it.

Can't figure it out.

Yu Feng switched back to his own live stream.

I chose to start again.

However, after this start, what came into view were soldiers busy on the warships at dusk.

Wounded soldiers lay on the deck, and the medics were so busy they were practically in two places at once, directing the soldiers to carry people while shouting out the names of medicines. On the sea surface were still burning oil slicks and the wreckage of planes and warships.

Some soldiers used small boats to avoid the oil slick and tried to salvage the bodies floating on the sea.

Yu Feng looked around at everything and sighed.

He also joined the rescue team, directing the surrounding soldiers to bandage and retrieve the bodies.

At the same time, the Polestar official website's 'real-time map' was opened in the live stream room.

At this time in the Pacific theater, with the American Free Federation occupying Iwo Jima, if they also occupied Okinawa, they could use it as a springboard and supply base to directly threaten the Japanese mainland.

More importantly, there is an existing Japanese naval base here, as well as several air force airfields.

Once occupied.

American troops in the Pacific could resupply here, and then repeatedly attack the Japanese mainland, making it easier to carry out continuous bombing on a monthly or yearly basis.

Okinawa is now the largest island in the 'Ryukyu Islands' on the map.

Most of it has already been occupied by the American Free Federation, but now it is stuck on the Japanese army's southern defense line on Okinawa Island. The island's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and fighting on the island's home turf can only result in casualties.

In addition, the Japanese mainland continues to launch suicide attacks with fighter jets. Just in the battle to capture Okinawa Island, which has been going on for a month, thousands of people have been lost and 30,000 to 40,000 have been injured.

Nearly three hundred warships were also sunk.

However, compared to the losses suffered by the US federal government, those suffered by Japan were far greater.

They didn't even spare the local civilians, forcing them to fight against the US federal troops on the battlefield.

The result was predictable.
Yu Feng looked at the map; they were currently stuck in a place called Hacksaw Ridge.

Once the defenses here are breached, the battle for Okinawa will be over.

However, Yu Feng's side was from the fleet and had not yet received orders to go there. Yu Feng was directing people to clean up the battlefield, while at the same time searching for the place name 'Hacksaw Ridge' on the Tiansha live streaming platform.

With the search.

Dozens of live streaming rooms came into view.

Both the Japanese and American factions are included, and both are based on the latest storyline timelines.

Clearly, those who skipped the story quickly will have to play the story mode in the Pacific theater after the European theater ends.

But there are benefits.

After all, other players are still struggling in the unfinished "European Battlefield." Once World War II is over, they will be able to experience the sequel "Cold War Shadows" that Polestar is preparing to release, and feel the great power game.

Because a prerequisite for a sequel is that you have experienced World War II in World War II: Rise of Empires.

Yu Feng glanced at the live stream.

I picked one that was trending and clicked on it.

In the live broadcast room.

Meng Hao, a livestreamer located in Hacksaw Ridge, had just finished a battle and was also cleaning up the battlefield.

However, looking at the death and kill labels that he added himself in the upper right corner of his live stream, it's clear that...

This guy died seven times in one afternoon.

Fortunately, the [Immersive Story] mode provides each character with their own unique storyline.

Otherwise, in a large-scale online game, these Earth players would wipe out the Federation forces after a few waves of deaths.

And now.
Although you die once and get a different body to control.

However, there are tens of thousands of U.S. federal soldiers on the island. Unless someone dies tens of thousands of times here, it won't affect the overall situation.

However, Zhao Ming also designed something for this.

What if there really are players who are bored out of their minds?

Once you die thousands or tens of thousands of times, wiping out everyone in a small battle, the story will reset to the start of the most recent battle, but no one has triggered it yet.

In the live broadcast room.

The streamer, Meng Hao, limped around cleaning up the battlefield, but mainly he was rummaging through the corpses to see if there was anything of value.

Fortunately, because he is a player, his presence is very low as long as he doesn't speak, and basically no one pays attention to Meng Hao who is searching for treasure.

Meanwhile, Meng Hao was still bragging to the viewers in the live chat:

"What do you mean by 'having your leg broken'?"

"I lost my leg while charging forward, shielding my comrades behind me from bullets."

"The federal government should be awarding me a medal."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and couldn't help but mutter:
"One thing to say."

"These Japanese soldiers are really poor."

"After rummaging around for a while, all I found were souvenirs like seashells."

"But yes."

"There's nothing else on this wretched island except seashells."

Just saying.

A shout suddenly came from not far away.

Two wounded soldiers pointed at a thin soldier and shouted at him, seemingly ordering him to come and move the body.

The soldier didn't say much, but after moving the body he was under despite the cursing, he returned and, as instructed by the two soldiers, moved the bodies under their feet.

While they were carrying the load, the two soldiers were not idle either, occasionally kicking the thin soldier.

Upon seeing this, comments flooded the live stream chat.

What the heck? Bullying exists in games too?!

Good grief, NPCs are bullying other NPCs.

Bullying exists in real life, so why can't it happen in games? But bullying your teammates in a situation like this, aren't you afraid they'll lash out?

[What if one night he pulls out a gun and mobs everyone?]

Looking at the comments in the live stream, Meng Hao said:

"Will not."

"That guy, Doss, is a private first class."

"It is said that he is a Christian."

"Although I don't know what Christianity is, it's a religion on 'Earth' anyway."

"The tenets of this sect are vegetarianism, non-violence, and pacifism."

"They say it's to follow a principle from the Bible called 'Thou shalt not kill'."

"So that guy hasn't touched a gun once since he arrived on the battlefield, but you can see him carrying the wounded and the dead every time the battlefield is cleaned up."

"Others are fighting to the death, but he doesn't even carry a gun. Do you think those people will treat him well?"

After Meng Hao finished speaking, the netizens in the live broadcast room were speechless.

this.
It really is.

While others are fighting to the death, you don't even take a gun, and you just run out to rescue people every time you're cleaning up the battlefield.

This kind of behavior is just asking for a beating.

Although Doss may have stuck to his beliefs because of his sectarian beliefs, such behavior, especially on the battlefield, warrants a few kicks as punishment.

Netizens on Earth don't know how to comment either.

After Meng Hao finished speaking, he added with a sarcastic remark:

"Speak of it."

"Although this Doss has lived to this day."

"However, his teammates have changed several times; the fighting here at Hacksaw Ridge is too intense."

"It simply can't be pushed in."

“The casualties in each battle were considerable, yet he always managed to survive to the end.”

"This is the strange method."

"It's inevitable that other NPCs will have opinions or dislike towards this Doss."

"After all, whoever you team up with is going to die."

"It's like a curse, it's terrifying."

They chatted as they cleaned up the battlefield until it was completely dark before Meng Hao returned to the military camp.

The military camp was completely silent at this moment, with only the sound of bowls and chopsticks clattering.

Meng Hao's leg is actually fine; he just twisted it during the charge, which is why he's limping.

He was bragging to the live stream for ages, and now that he's recovered, he's walking like the wind, leaving the viewers in the live stream completely bewildered. Didn't you break your leg?

Recovered so quickly?
Meng Hao then chuckled and said that his ankle wasn't actually broken, but twisting it was too embarrassing, so he pretended to be so for the whole afternoon and no one actually noticed.

Seeing Meng Hao's smug smile, the live stream was flooded with virtual gifts.

One after another, black bombs exploded in the live stream, and special effects were applied to Meng Hao's face.

Seeing this, Meng Hao immediately thanked the viewers, after all, bombs are money too!
As he was writing, someone suddenly patted Meng Hao on the shoulder and said:

"Alik".

Meng Hao turned around and saw his comrade from the same class. He asked:
"Ok?"

"what happened?"

The soldier said with a helpless expression:

"A new member has arrived, so we need to prepare our wills."

Meng Hao was somewhat bewildered:
"what?"

At that moment, Doss, who was standing at the door, walked in:

"Hello."

The soldier in front of Meng Hao looked helpless and sighed.

"In today's battle, everyone in their class died."

"Hmm, our class is short of people again."

"So that's how it is."

Meng Hao's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Doss:

"This"

"Hello."

Dos nodded to him, and Dos breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the people in this class were quite nice.

Doss, however, was unaware of this.
Meng Hao has already placed his bet in the live stream:
"Come on, brothers."

"Guess when I'm going to die?!"

"I bet I'll die in the next fight! Place your bet! A free little shark for me!"

"Undying?"

"If they don't die, I'll eat them."
