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

Chapter 167 [Bloody Battle of Hacksaw Ridge] God won't save you, but Doss will! (5k two-in-one)

The NPCs naturally had no idea about Meng Hao's bet.

When the other comrades in the class returned and saw Doss, who had been assigned to their class, they couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, "I'm in the same class as this guy!"

That's it.
But there was nothing they could do, and after fighting all day, no one was in the mood to care about Doss.

He casually tossed his belongings to the ground, immediately crawled into his blankets, and fell asleep, his snoring soon filling the tent.

Meng Hao wasn't in a hurry to sleep, but he still lay down on the bed, ready to close his eyes and skip the plot at any time.

Inside the house, Doss saw the messy tent and bent down to pick up the scattered items, placing them as neatly as possible beside their bed.

Saw this scene.

Not only Meng Hao, but also netizens in the live broadcast room sighed.

Such a kind-hearted personality is fine in everyday life.

However, on the battlefield, they serve no purpose other than being bullied by other soldiers because they are afraid to fight.

Meng Hao closed his eyes, experiencing a brief moment of darkness.

Then an option to skip the story appears.

Open your eyes again.

The sky was already bright, and the sounds of people moving around and cooking could be heard outside.

Meng Hao stretched for a bit and then stepped out of the tent.

The damp sea breeze, carrying the smell of gunpowder and blood, filled the camp in the early morning.

Meng Hao walked to a safe area and looked at the 'Hacksaw Ridge' in the distance, which was a steep cliff, although calling it a cliff was not quite accurate.

A cliff would be more suitable.

(The area contested by Hacksaw Ridge)
Because of the steep terrain.

Soldiers could only climb up, so some heavy weapons couldn't be carried. The only way to take this place was by killing people.

Every day for the past few days, shells have been raining down on that area, but the Japanese have dug many underground fortifications above the cliff.

Shells that hit the ground have limited effect on underground fortifications.

It won't cause much casualties at all.

So whenever the U.S. troops climbed up the cliff, they were met by Japanese soldiers crawling out of the underground fortifications.

It is situated on high ground, relying on fortifications.

Shooting down the federal soldiers climbing up was incredibly easy.

Conversely, the difficulties lie with the US federal government.

It's absolutely hellish.

This is why, despite attacking for so many days, they haven't been able to take it down.

Looking at the cliff face and the climbing ropes, Meng Hao said to the live stream:

"Really, that's the case."

"It would be better to use weapons of mass destruction."

"Just flatten this cliff."

"Otherwise, the casualties would be too great if we fought like this."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel hopeless."

"How the hell am I supposed to fight this?"

Airplanes and artillery bombardment are useless; the only way to capture the territory is to fight by climbing rope nets.

But the most insidious thing about the Japanese side is that they disregarded the climbing rope net because they knew they couldn't defeat the United States, so the battle here completely turned into a battle to consume the lives of American soldiers.

Every time the soldiers climbed up the rope net, they were met with machine gun fire and suicidal charges from the Japanese army.

It simply can't be pushed forward.

U.S. soldiers aren't superhuman, and they really couldn't handle Japan's suicidal attacks.

A group of lunatics shouting "Banzai" charged over strapped with bombs. Anyone who touched them would be numb, and it was impossible for anyone with a gun to kill them all in an instant.

From the current technological and tactical perspective of 'Earth'.

Meng Hao discussed with his viewers in the live stream for a while, and they really couldn't do anything except try to kill him with sheer numbers.

bombing?

In just the few days since Meng Hao started his game here, he has used the photon supercomputer to calculate the number of shells in the recorded broadcast and calculated that the US federal government has dumped no less than 600 tons of shells onto that cliff.

This was during the few days Meng Hao was in this storyline, before he was even present.

The cliff had been bombarded with at least 1000 tons of artillery shells by the US federal government, but to no avail.

It really has to be 'weapons of mass destruction'.

Otherwise, this would be a bottomless pit that requires lives to fill.

After studying the matter for a while without success, Meng Hao had no choice but to go back for dinner.

And I had just finished eating.

The order to assemble came again, and preparations for another attack were made.

With the arrival of the personnel.

In the distance, U.S. federal warships on the sea began to bombard Hacksaw Ridge. Meng Hao took a deep breath and followed the group towards the cliff.

As for why it's the back, betting just started yesterday.

If you're at the front of the line, it's certain death; the Japanese devils on the cliff won't care about you.

Almost none of those who came before survived.

Most of the viewers in the live stream were betting that he would die in this battle, and even Meng Hao himself was betting on it.

But many people are betting that he won't die.

Those fans who bet on his survival naturally wouldn't let him be at the front of the line. They'd accept it even if he died in battle, as long as he went up from the back.

As they got closer, the first wave of U.S. federal soldiers had already climbed halfway up the mountain.

The Japanese soldiers above arrived as scheduled, braving naval fire to confront the American soldiers climbing up.

Chug tug tug——

The American soldiers below began to fight back, and the Japanese soldiers above the cliff fell one after another, but they could not stop the American soldiers from climbing.

Meng Hao followed behind the group, climbing up safely without any major incidents.

Soldiers have already climbed to the top of the cliff.

“Onboard!!!”

"Watch out for grenades! (Fire in the hole!)"

boom--!
The beastly howls from the top of the cliff mingled with the shouts of U.S. soldiers, followed by a series of explosions.

Meng Hao sped up and rushed up the cliff.

As soon as he climbed up, he saw Japanese soldiers not far away. Kuchiko was holding a rifle and shouting "Banzai!" as he rushed over, with bombs strapped to his body.

And judging from their youthful appearance, they may not even be adults yet.

This is what Blue Star players find terrifying.

Because the Japanese are ruthless not only in killing others, but also in killing their own people, they have driven away many civilians to shield them from gunfire during this period.

It's important to know that civilians in Europe also helped the army resist the enemy.

But all of that was spontaneous.

These were the people who were driven at gunpoint by Japanese soldiers to the American side, to be used as expendable resources in suicide attacks.

Meng Hao pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand.

boom!
Although it didn't hit the forehead, it did hit the leg.

The Japanese soldier stumbled and rolled on the ground, instantly disappearing into the crowd of corpses.

Even if you wanted to finish them off, there was no way to do so.

There were too many corpses on the ground. After just one sweep, the spot and the figure could no longer be found. Meng Hao did not linger and followed the main force to begin the attack.

However, compared to the previous attacks...

The plan for this attack had been discussed beforehand, and a gradual, step-by-step approach was adopted.

After capturing each piece of land, they quickly established a defensive position.

This will maximize the chances of survival for the soldiers climbing, and with a continuous stream of soldiers, they will surely be able to overcome this tough challenge.

Meng Hao rushed to the front and joined the soldiers who had climbed up first to build a defensive position.

They relied on their position for defense.

With a steady stream of soldiers joining, another defensive point was quickly completed, and Meng Hao was preparing to head to another defensive point ahead.

Sudden.

Meng Hao's gaze caught something, and he turned around abruptly. In that instant, his pupils contracted sharply:
"rough!!!"

The Japanese soldier who had been shot by him at the beginning had somehow crawled over on the ground and was looking over when Meng Hao appeared.

The Japanese soldier, his face covered in blood and mud, grinned savagely as he threw a lit bomb at Meng Hao.

Meng Hao only had time to utter a single exclamation.

boom--! ! !
The explosion's flames swept through, and Meng Hao's vision went black. He felt as if he had been hit by a truck, his internal organs seemed to shift, and he was thrown into the air.

All that remained in my ears was a sharp, ringing sound.
The screen fell into darkness.

The netizens in the live stream and Meng Hao, whose perspective had been plunged into darkness, were also helpless.

Who the hell would have thought of that?

rough!
The way he died didn't bother the viewers who bet on him to survive, since it was something no one could have predicted.

However, everyone realized something was wrong a few seconds later.

The perspective is black.

But I didn't return to the main screen.

not dead? !
Meng Hao's eyes widened in shock. Holy crap?
Play me?
How could he possibly survive?

Do you think I've never eaten a bomb before?!
however.

He really didn't die.

As time goes by.

After a while.

Meng Hao found that he could control his body. He slowly opened his eyes, struggled to get up, and looked around at his surroundings.

It was already dark by then.

The battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and the sound of artillery fire could be heard sporadically. There were no more U.S. soldiers on the position.

It looks like they've been driven back again.

However, a rustling search sound came from afar, and Meng Hao's lips twitched.

Without a doubt, it must be those Japanese devils.

It would be better to just get blown up. The thought of possibly getting finished off later made Meng Hao's teeth ache.

When I tried to move my body, I belatedly felt a sharp pain coming from my lower limbs.

Look down.

My ankle was swollen beyond recognition and twisted in shape.

He twisted his ankle.

There's no way to leave now.

Meng Hao lay on the ground and reached out to a gun not far away. He checked it and found that it still had bullets, enough to keep him struggling.

We must take at least two Japanese devils with us.

Think of this.

Meng Hao cocked his submachine gun, crawled to find a corpse, leaned against it to make it easier to fire, and then squinted his eyes, waiting for the Japanese devils to come over.

However, before the Japanese devils could even search this place...

Meng Hao suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

Are there still any living people?

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Meng Hao turned his head slightly. After all, this was a battlefield, and no one dared to gamble on whether the commotion came from American soldiers or Japanese devils.

Meng Hao turned his head and slightly opened his eyes.

A figure wearing a steel helmet was seen rummaging through the corpses.

A steel helmet?

Those are clearly U.S. federal soldiers.

But who is so brave?

Did they run up to the cliff to clean up the battlefield?
Normally, after a fierce battle, everyone goes home, while they are cleaning up the battlefield at the bottom of the cliff. But now, someone has actually come up there.

Money over life?
As the figure drew closer, the thin body and the mouth kept muttering things like "God".

Meng Hao and the viewers in the live stream realized that this was Dos.
Meng Hao looked at the approaching Doss, who seemed a little intimidated by his rambling manner, but since he was one of their own, he called out softly:
"Doss?"

Hearing the noise, Doss looked up.

Upon seeing Meng Hao still alive, a look of joy appeared on his face:

"Thank goodness, he's still alive."

He then rushed over and saw Meng Hao lying on the ground. He also noticed Meng Hao's ankle was swollen beyond recognition. His thin body tried repeatedly to carry Meng Hao but failed.

Seeing this, Meng Hao couldn't help but ask:
"Doss, what's going on?"

It's no wonder Meng Hao was confused; he simply couldn't understand what Doss was doing.

The same applies to the viewers in the live stream.

Upon hearing his voice, Doss didn't bother to look up and reply, only saying:
"Don't worry, I'll take you down."

After several unsuccessful attempts, Doss looked at the belt of the soldier's corpse next to him, closed his eyes and prayed before the body of the American soldier.

He then unbuckled the soldier's belt, slipped it under Meng Hao's armpits, and then attempted to drag him.

After realizing that Meng Hao could move, he picked up the gun that had broken in two next to him, placed it at Meng Hao's ankle, secured it with torn strips of cloth, and then dragged Meng Hao toward the cliff.

The dragging noise also attracted the attention of several Japanese soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield in the distance.

He mumbled some gibberish and then fired his gun in this direction, the sound echoing off the cliff.

The bullet grazed Meng Hao and Doss.

Not a single shot hit.

And Doss never stopped muttering words like "God" and "God" for a moment.

Meng Hao's eyes widened in surprise:
"No way?"

God bless?

Does it really work?
Of course, that's just a thought.

Because the Japanese soldiers have already caught up. It might have been because of the distance just now, but once they get closer, they'll still die.

Moreover, it's quite frightening to see a bullet glide past your scalp.

But since Doss is working so hard, Meng Hao can't back down.

Think of this.

Meng Hao also raised his gun and swept it at the Japanese soldiers.

boom!boom!
Chug tug tug——

Intense gunfire erupted from the cliff, as Doss dragged Meng Hao along, staggering along.

His ankle was bruised and he was sweating profusely, but Meng Hao didn't have time to adjust to the pain in the current situation. He gritted his teeth and exchanged fire with the Japanese devils in the distance.

At this time.

My thigh was suddenly pricked.

For some inexplicable reason, the word 'grenade' suddenly flashed through Meng Hao's mind.

He instinctively reached out to grab it.

They actually caught a round, plump hand grenade.

Without the slightest hesitation.

After pulling the safety, Meng Hao threw the gun far away with all his might, and then continued firing.

boom--!
The grenade explosion took away one of the charging Japanese soldiers.

The two Japanese soldiers behind him also fell as they were shot down, and the last remaining Japanese soldier was tackled by a figure who got up from the ground, followed by curses and gunshots.

There are still Allied soldiers alive on the other side.

He must have been awakened by the explosion.

Meng Hao finally came to his senses, his pounding heart calming down a bit. Still somewhat dazed, he subconsciously said to the live stream:

"What the hell?"

"what's the situation?"

"This is the first time someone has ever risked their life for me, and it's the first time I've ever risked my life for someone else, only to find out that the person I risked my life for is an NPC?"

The chat room was filled with bewildered viewers, with question marks appearing everywhere.

【? ? ? 】

【? ? ? 】

[Oh no, are we going to lose?]

[How the hell can this person survive?]

Holy crap, this is a conspiracy! Absolutely a conspiracy!

【No way, this is outrageous!】

[A player alive on the battlefield? This is the first time I've ever seen one!]

indeed.

Just as netizens on Blue Star commented in the live stream.

In World War II: Rise of Empires, many people were seeing this situation for the first time – someone who hadn't died yet.

Isn't it normal to just charge forward and die, right?
How did an NPC suddenly appear, shouting something like 'God' and drag the person away?!

This is outrageous!

The viewers in the live stream were stunned by Dos's actions.

At this moment, Doss had already reached the edge of the cliff, tied a rope around Meng Hao, and then lowered him down the rope.

Meng Hao realized what was happening:

"Wait! Doss!"

"Aren't you coming down?!"

Doss shook his head:

"Do not."

"There are still survivors."

In a word.

The shock startled Meng Hao and the viewers in the live stream.

Meng Hao's fall attracted the attention of the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, and a group of them rushed over. Meng Hao, however, looked towards the top of the cliff and faintly heard:

"God, let me save one more."

sleepless nights.

Throughout the entire U.S. federal camp, everyone was gazing at that cliff.

Meng Hao, leaning on his cane, also looked in that direction.

He was convinced, and so were the Blue Star viewers in the live stream who had also lost their bets; they were willing to accept their losses.

This situation is truly shocking.

Meng Hao watched as yet another soldier was lowered down by rope and asked the person next to him:
"Which one is it?"

The soldier was also visibly shocked and shook his head.
"I don't know."

"About 90 or so?"

"Oh God, is he an angel?!"

The soldier murmured in shock.

Meng Hao also gasped, looking up.

As dawn broke, everyone fell silent as wounded soldiers continued to be evacuated. It turned out that so many people had survived.

Everyone looked towards the top of the cliff.

They gathered their weapons and equipment and launched an attack.

a few days later.

Below Hacksaw Ridge.

In a U.S. federal camp.

Everyone stood in neat rows, their eyes fixed on Dos, who was praying devoutly.

This time.

No one complained.

At that moment, the commander's angry voice came through the communication device:

"What the hell are you doing?"

"We should have launched the attack 10 minutes ago!"

The captain spoke into the communication device:

“We are waiting, sir.”

The U.S. federal official on the other end was somewhat bewildered:
"wait?"

"wait for what?"

"Artillery support has been deployed!"

The captain spoke into the communication device:

"We are waiting for Private Dos's prayer."

The officer on the other end was even more bewildered:

"Private Doss?"

"Who is he?! What the hell! What happened?!"

The captain put down the phone and looked at Doss, who had finished praying.

The soldiers in the group smiled when they saw this.

God won't save you, but Doss can.

It was through Doss's actions that they realized they could survive.
And this time.

The Japanese will no longer be able to stop them.

the other side.

With the end of the Battle of Hacksaw Ridge, Iwo Jima was captured.

The enormous casualties have angered the United States. If this is the number of casualties on one island, how many would be killed or wounded if the Japanese mainland were attacked? This is unacceptable to the United States.

Under these circumstances, Ding Rui's 'nuclear explosion experiment' also began in his live broadcast room due to pressure from high-ranking U.S. federal officials.
