CHAPTER 614: CHAPTER 295: [REPUBLIC’S ’HAMMER STRIKE AGAINST BANDITS’] (4K)

Hearing the platoon commander’s words, the streamers in the live broadcast room and the Blue Star viewers were stunned.

This....

An inexplicable shock rippled through everyone’s heart.

Watching the platoon commander’s distant silhouette.

The streamer moved his mouth, seemingly wanting to ask why?

But ultimately didn’t speak.

Because if one puts themselves in these ’Republic npc’ shoes, it might truly be like this.

They had always maintained the mentality of playing a game.

Thinking about the path the Red Side had taken over the years, if they were ’Republic npc’, they would surely believe that the Red Side would keep their promises.

The shock persisted.

However, Fang Ming had already exited the streamer’s live broadcast room, searching for new live rooms still engaged in combat.

The scenes in each live room were different, but in the live rooms distributed across the Republic, battles erupted almost every moment.

Fang Ming was dazzled by the sight.

At this moment.

Someone in the live broadcast room mentioned that the Polestar Official Website was also live streaming.

Fang Ming searched for it.

Sure enough, he found the Polestar Official Website’s live room.

Clicking inside.

The scene before his eyes suddenly brightened.

A massive strategic map unfolded before his eyes, and it was dynamic in real-time.

Appearing in front of Fang Ming’s eyes.

The enormous strategic map was semi-transparent blue, clearly marking all bandit areas, with regions like Western Hunan, Northwestern Guangxi, and Northern Sichuan marked in deeper colors.

Then the red arrows representing the Liberation Army approached from all directions, like giant pincers, steadily closing in on the center.

Below the map, synchronized advancing real-time arrows moved slowly.

This was a unique feature of some official live broadcast rooms.

They could provide each viewer with an individual live room.

Of course.

The Virtual Body Sensing Pod offered the best experience, followed by some useful everyday devices like smartwatches and communicators that could also project the view individually.

However, the effect was quite ordinary.

Without clicking, the battle scenes in each bandit area on the map would be replaced.

As Fang Ming clicked on the [Western Hunan] area.

The battle scenes that appeared on other areas disappeared, and the strategic map then shrank.

The [Western Hunan] area expanded to the original size of the giant strategic map, with individual areas currently engaged in battles appearing on it.

Fang Ming watched several regions currently exchanging fire.

He clicked on a mountain peak where skirmishing was occurring.

The perspective pulled down, and soon the view of the sky above the peak, along with the scene of the Liberation Army and bandits fighting below, appeared before Fang Ming’s eyes.

Seeing a label above a soldier’s head in the Liberation Army’s camp, carrying the name of a live broadcast room.

Fang Ming realized that these combat scenes were battles currently taking place in various live rooms on the Sky Shark Platform.

At that moment.

The bandits on the mountain peak below were relying on the steep terrain and sturdy wooden and stone constructions, shooting downwards with homemade guns, bird rifles, and even bows and arrows.

It’s imaginable how long-standing these bandits’ history must be.

A rough glance showed quite a few bandits wielding bows and arrows.

Their method of counterattack might still be in use from several hundred years ago.

Even with the advent of firearms, not much had changed.

However....

They faced the Liberation Army.

A regular army.

Not like those Qing soldiers who couldn’t pull a bowstring, nor the warlord soldiers of the Republic who only knew how to oppress the people, but a battle-hardened People’s Army.

While the bandits stubbornly resisted.

Boom!

The sound of artillery roared.

The mortars and infantry guns brought by the Liberation Army bellowed with fury.

Shells sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, landing precisely on the stockade’s watchtowers and walls.

The ancient wooden stockade was shattered by the shells.

A glaring, gaping hole appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The bandits, who had just been so arrogant, were now all dazed, especially those closer to the blast point, their eyes filled with confusion and fear.

They might be wondering why this time the ’troops’ weren’t playing by the usual rules.

Wasn’t the usual scenario fighting for half a day, failing to conquer, and both sides retreating?

Why did these guys actually decide to use artillery to attack them?

And firing it as though it cost nothing.

Those ’troops’ seemed crazy, desperately trying to charge across, not waiting for their response.

Suddenly the charge signal blared.

The soldiers moved in groups of three, advancing alternately, clearing out the remaining enemies, as if this wasn’t a battle but a highly efficient harvest.

An extermination against the bandits had begun.

In the conquered stockade, bodies of bandits lay strewn across, as did some young soldiers who fell in the charge.

But the den of bandits, entrenched here for decades and regarded as a "cancer," numbering up to three hundred.

They were eradicated and shattered with overwhelming ease.

As the battle concluded, this scene shrank, reverting back to the map of the [Western Hunan] area, but the bandit’s den originally labeled there had already changed color.

The Liberation Army, having captured the bandit’s den, extended an arrow, slowly pointing towards another mountain bandit den.

Clearly, the next target for this unit was that bandit’s den.

Fang Ming’s gaze swept over the [Western Hunan] area.

On the map, areas representing the Liberation Army’s color continued to spread and consolidate, with black markers representing bandits either topped by battle icons.

Or red crosses appearing, transitioning slowly into the color of the Liberation Army’s area.

From the map’s perspective.

The Liberation Army was almost simultaneously eradicating the bandits in the [Western Hunan] area.
