"It’s been less than 200 days."
"But the casualties are already over 2 million."
"An average of more than ten thousand deaths a day... hiss—"
This is just on the side of Stalingrad.
Fang Ming thought of sothing and searched for the Leningrad live broadcast.
He imdiately discovered Duan Yu’s live broadcast room was still active.
Goodness gracious.
Over in Leningrad, the siege hadn’t ended yet.
It was truly a battle to the death.
However, at this mont, Duan Yu looked much better, not because he had eaten anything he shouldn’t have, but because winter had arrived and the counteroffensive had begun.
The Soviet Union had also opened a route to Leningrad.
Though it’s uncertain how long it can be maintained, the current situation seems pretty good.
Just looking at the footage in Duan Yu’s live broadcast room.
The deaths in Leningrad are countless as well.... It’s estimated that thousands die each day.
Fang Ming watched for a while and then switched back to his own live broadcast room.
At this ti, the plot was the march; seeing the skip button, Fang Ming clicked it, and after a flash, the scene brightened up again, showing they had arrived at the camp.
Without combat scenes, one could enjoy the scenery or skip it.
Fang Ming chose to skip the plot.
After a few skips.
The ti had jumped to February; during this period, there were no battles or plot triggers, and the Imperial side was actively retreating their defenses.
Fang Ming had just skipped and the scene brightened.
He heard the soldiers around him discussing sothing with newspapers in hand, about Stalingrad, and Fang Ming walked over:
"What’s the news from Stalingrad?"
The discussing soldiers imdiately stood up, their expressions joyous and excited:
"Sir."
"We won the Battle of Stalingrad!"
They handed him the newspaper for Fang Ming to see.
Fang Ming took the newspaper and indeed saw the victory announcent from the Soviet leader and news of the mass surrender of the Imperial Sixth Army.
"Hiss—?!"
"It’s finally over?!"
Fang Ming quickly looked at the date.
February 2nd.
It lasted from July 1942 to early February 1943, six and a half months.
At this mont, within the Battle of Stalingrad battlefield, ti had reached the Pavlov Building stage, aning there was still about two months to challenge for dals.
Fang Ming let out a sigh of relief; there was still enough ti, first tackle the imrsive plot.
He handed the newspaper back to the subordinate soldier, a smile appeared on Fang Ming’s face:
"Very good."
"Next, it’s ti to deal with those guys at the Don River."
Currently, the Soviet Union, taking advantage of winter, had a smooth offensive montum, and Fang Ming gathered so information, while the map loaded in the live broadcast room automatically updated.
From Stalingrad, the Southwest Army Group and the Stalingrad Army Group here.
Under the pincer attack, more than two hundred kiloters of land had already been recovered.
Further attacks would directly face the Don Army Group of the Imperial side, but the commander there was the renowned Imperial general, also a Hall of Fa figure of World War II, Manstein.
Fang Ming brought up the Hall of Fa and found Manstein’s photo and description.
[Erich von Manstein (to be unlocked)]
[Title: Strategic Master, Spear of the Empire]
[Military Rank: Field Marshal]
[Biography: The chief among the three great Imperial generals, posthumously hailed as the "most outstanding strategist of World War II." He masterminded the world-shaking "Manstein Plan," decisively defeating the British-French Allied Army; on the Eastern Front, he repeatedly created miracles despite having inferior forces.]
[Famous Quote: "A clever boxer often steps back, then delivers a deadly strike."]

Looking at Manstein’s introduction, it stated he was the top among the three great Imperial generals.
He seed even stronger than Guderian.
And at this mont, the Southwest Army Group Fang Ming was part of was about to face the Imperial army commanded by Manstein.
Fang Ming and the live broadcast audience analyzed the Hall of Fa introduction.
anwhile, with the victory of the Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviet Union also set its sights on the Imperial Don Army Group, which was commanded by Manstein.
Not long after, the unit Fang Ming was a part of received orders to attack the Don River area.
The offensive was exceptionally smooth.
Within days of fighting, the Imperial side kept retreating almost without a fight.
For a mont, there was a sea of joy throughout the Soviet Union.
But Fang Ming and Blue Star’s online users felt sothing was amiss, after all, those Soviet soldiers might not know, but could the Hall of Fa be wrong?
’The most outstanding strategist of World War II’ ’creating miracles on the Eastern Front repeatedly’
A renowned Imperial general with these titles and achievents, how could he be driven to constant retreat?
Fang Ming couldn’t analyze it within this mont and could only advance with the unit.
Until the in-ga date reached February 19th.
The division Fang Ming was in had just repelled the Imperial forces, and the map in the live broadcast room updated again, showing the Soviet troops.
It was about to pierce deep into the belly of the Imperial defense line like a spear.
Fang Ming had an ominous feeling.
This was also due to a lack of military science knowledge on Blue Star.
The netizens on Earth would instantly recognize that it was overexertion, with the Imperial side obviously using a lure strategy.
