Chapter 298: Chapter 165: [Okinawa Island Campaign] Bloody Battle at Steel Saw Ridge (5.8k Double-Length)
Yu Feng’s face looked exceptionally grim.
Even though he had shot down a Japanese fighter jet, he lost a destroyer and an unknown number of soldiers from his side.
It was almost equivalent to the soldiers who died below and the sunken destroyer.
Half of it was his responsibility.
Fortunately, he was a player, but even so, he was full of unease.
One can only imagine the thoughts of those as Earth NPCs.
Watching himself successfully shoot down the Japanese fighter jet, yet this Japanese jet took away countless lives of soldiers from his side, the remorse and torment...
It felt like using a weapon of mass destruction would be too easy on them, no amount of killing could relieve the hatred!
Being a player was somewhat comforting, but for those native Earth NPCs, after a battle, encountering this situation would require therapeutic help for anyone with any sense of morality.
Yu Feng adjusted himself, and the plane turned around again.
In the clouds ahead, a fighter jet with a bizarre red sun emblem suddenly dived down, charging directly at Yu Feng’s plane. Yu Feng had no time to evade, compounded by issues with the plane’s tail.
It turned around mid-air with difficulty.
The Japanese fighter jet was already upon him.
The pilots could even see each other’s faces from their cockpits at close range.
The Japanese pilot was a young man around 20, with a white cloth tied around his head, shouting ferociously and resolutely as he charged forward.
Watching that mouth movement.
Yu Feng’s mind automatically conjured up the sound....
Boom—!
The flames engulfed Yu Feng’s view.
In the live broadcast room.
Yu Feng rubbed his temples:
"Outrageous."
"Absolutely outrageous."
"They’re just a bunch of brainwashed lunatics."
These guys, once they flew up, never intended to come back alive, looking everywhere for United States planes to crash into.
Many Blue Star viewers who had played Pacific Theater were also commenting in the live chat.
[Now you know why the United States went for weapons of mass destruction, right?]
[Indeed, these guys... even in death, they’d take someone down with them.]
[Though this theater isn’t as large as the European Battlefield, taking over each island results in considerable casualties, and both the US and its soldiers have long had grievances.]
[Luckily, it’s reached Japan’s doorstep, otherwise, the internal soldiers of the United States might have given up first.]
Yu Feng looked at the barrage of comments and nodded.
Indeed.
Currently, Okinawa Island is Japan’s last line of defense.
As long as this is taken.
They can directly attack Japan’s mainland.
But fighting like this incurs too many casualties, how far had the ’weapons of mass destruction’ been researched?
Yu Feng thought as he opened Celestial Shark Live Platform.
Searched for that live room, the title hadn’t changed and was still [Making Weapons of Mass Destruction Online, Nuke the Earth!].
At this moment, the host, Ding Rui, was explaining the current situation concerning the United States’ nuclear experiments, which were in the final stages.
About to conduct the final "Trinity Nuclear Test."
This was the first nuclear test ever conducted by humanity on Earth, and they couldn’t be careless.
Moreover, there was some unrest among the scientists in the lab at this time.
Because once it succeeded, they’d have to face the moral dilemma of potentially causing mass civilian casualties, and the lab director insisted on military priority, leading to significant disagreements with scientists worried about the consequences of nuclear tests.
Through Ding Rui’s perspective in the live broadcast room.
One could vaguely hear the arguments in the laboratory, showing that these scientists were not of one mind.
Ding Rui explained that there were Imperial scientists inside the lab.
Even though the Imperial was defeated.
The scientists from the Imperial didn’t dare to bet on whether or not the United States would use it against the Imperial later, so the main conflict was between the Imperial scientists and the United States scientists.
Looking at the introduction in the live broadcast room.
Yu Feng didn’t understand what "nuclear test" was, but after using the photonic supercomputing to search, he found no information.
However, there was an introduction to previous "nuclear tests" on Blue Star, and looking at it, Yu Feng said to the Blue Star viewers in the live room:
"Hmm... maybe it’s different for us compared to Earth."
"This ’Trinity Nuclear Test’ on ’Earth’ is their name."
"For us, it’s just ’Operation xxx Experiment’."
"Though the names differ, the specific processes are similar."
"Research has reached this point, it’s the final stage."
"Once detonated successfully."
"It would indicate that ’Earth’ has entered the atomic age."
"This war will also soon come to an end."
"Given the power of nuclear bombs, once used on the battlefield, there’d be no contender for the whole ’Earth’."
Yu Feng finished speaking and looked at Ding Rui’s live broadcast room.
At that time, it was still introducing when the experiment would be conducted, and it seemed that once successful, it would likely be deployed on the battlefield.
Watched for a while.
It was all data; even with photon supercomputing explanations, it was still barely understandable.
Couldn’t make sense of it.
Yu Feng then switched back to his live broadcast room.
Once more chose to start the game.
After this new start, the scene was of busy soldiers aboard a warship at dusk.
Wounded laid across the deck, medics were so busy they wished they could clone themselves, one directing soldiers to carry people, another shouting medicine names, while on the sea surface were burning oil sludge and debris of planes and ships.
