My Global War Game

Chapter 1: Soldiers of the Republic Never Fear War

China, Inner Mongolia Province, SZWQ.

On the desert steppe in early summer, a heavy combined arms battalion is advancing northward along a predetermined route.

The dust kicked up by the torrent of steel blotted out the sky, leaving a long yellow dragon trail across the vast wilderness.

"Battalion Command, this is the reconnaissance platoon."

"No abnormalities ahead for five kilometers, visibility is good."

"We can continue at full speed."

Inside the battalion command vehicle, the radio crackled to life the voice of the reconnaissance platoon leader.

"Received. Expand the reconnaissance area."

"The cunning Blue Team couldn't possibly not have discovered us by now."

"They're definitely plotting something."

Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang looked at the map, frowned, and pondered.

Chief of Staff Wei Shan nodded beside him:

"If I were the Blue Team commander..."

"I will definitely intercept them from this direction."

"Otherwise, once we flank them, their formation will inevitably be affected."

"But they're not making a move..."

He spoke in a thoughtful tone, as if deep in thought, when suddenly, instructor Xu Jie beside him frowned and said:

"Could it be that they are not prepared to use ground troops against us?"

"Should we launch a direct attack from the air?"

"Or perhaps a long-range missile or something?"

"Or even... launching some kind of tactical nuclear missile?"

"Ha, is that possible?"

China's Red-Blue confrontation has always been known for its realism and high intensity. Its purpose is to hone the skills of these foreign-trained front-line combat troops by using the well-equipped "local" Blue Army.

Therefore, anything can happen in such exercises, and any weapon can be used.

"Tactical nuclear weapons are unlikely, are they?"

"That's too much of a cheat."

"However, we do need to contact the brigade headquarters to provide us with radar support."

"Prevent them from coming from the air..."

Before Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a moment of darkness before his eyes.

"What happened?"

The feeling was like being in a confined space when the power suddenly went out and then came back on.

In the instant of doubt that crossed his mind, Instructor Wei Shan hesitated and said:

"Huh? Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"Me too!" Instructor Xu Jie chimed in.

The three of them instantly snapped to attention—something was up!

Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang looked out the observation window and saw that the outside was still a barren desert, but it was indeed different from before!

"Report! Communication signal has been suddenly lost!"

"We've lost contact with command!"

Inside the carriage, the communicator's voice had just faded when the navigation coordinate operator's voice came through:

"BeiDou satellite signal lost!"

The continuous sounds filled the commanders in the carriage with solemn expressions.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be electromagnetic interference?"

"Radar is clear, no targets are detected."

"What kind of crazy thing is the Blue Team up with? Is it an electromagnetic pulse weapon?"

"We haven't received any signal that we're withdrawing from the competition?"

"No! No, no!"

Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang was extremely uneasy. He immediately got up and opened the hatch of the command vehicle.

Looking up, the distant horizon was no longer an endless desert, but a series of low hills. The yellow sand turned reddish, and the familiar wild grass disappeared, replaced by some unfamiliar weeds and shrubs.

"The entire battalion shall cease operations!"

"Reconnaissance platoon! Reconnaissance platoon!"

At this moment, everything before his eyes exceeded Chen Xiaogang's understanding and imagination. The only thought in his mind was that he had traveled through time!

At that moment, he returned to his car, grabbed the microphone, and roared.

Please reply upon receipt! Reply immediately!

"Hey, feed him! Zhao Yong? Zhao Yong? Can you hear me?"

"Reply! Did you hear me?"

Amid his roars, more and more soldiers also noticed the problem.

But the well-trained soldiers remained calm under pressure. Faced with the order, the large force quickly came to a halt and assumed a defensive posture.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

"Commander! Commander! Guess what we saw?"

"A highway! Full of broken-down and damaged cars, and dead bodies!"

"I also saw a road sign that said it's forty miles from Las Vegas in the United States!"

"Some of those dead were civilians, and some were wearing US military uniforms!"

"Some of them died from firearms, some looked like they were torn apart or even partially devoured by some creature!"

On the other end of the phone came the trembling voice of the reconnaissance platoon leader; it was clear he had seen something horrific.

"Battalion Commander! The BeiDou navigation system is ready!"

"But...but."

"The displayed coordinates are not the same as our previous coordinates."

"It is 36 degrees 10 minutes north latitude and 115 degrees 08 minutes west longitude."

At this moment, Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang, suppressing his fear and unease, roared loudly:

"Where does this correspond?"

"Millennium, Nevada, Northwest Las Vegas area."

The next second, Chief of Staff Wei Shan, who was sitting there looking at the electronic map, said with a pale face.

"Has communication been restored?"

"No!"

Why has the BeiDou navigation system been restored?

"have no idea!"

"Switch to a different radio frequency!"

Under the command of Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang, accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity, the radio quickly responded!

"Emergency broadcast... An unidentified biological invasion has occurred in Nevada, USA."

"Repeated: Unknown biological invasion."

「现在时间是东海岸时间，2032年4月28日，14点56分。」

"Any civilians who hear this message, please evacuate immediately in a direction away from Las Vegas."

"Seeking refuge with military forces."

"Please note that the unidentified creature has the ability to parasitize humans and animals; this can be determined by observing the target's neck and back of the head."

"Important news!"

"Thirty minutes later, key targets in the area will be bombarded with nuclear weapons."

"If you are unable to evacuate in time, please seek cover."

"Repeating again..."

Every time someone spoke on the radio, Xu Jie, the instructor who was fluent in English, would translate it, until a new round of broadcasting began.

Inside the command vehicle, everyone was stunned!

"Old Chen, what should we do?"

"It seems like we've traveled through time?"

Instructor Xu Jie asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Meanwhile, Chief of Staff Wei Shan, standing beside him, actually smiled wryly:

"Fuck his grandma!"

"Why don't you let us travel back to the Anti-Japanese War period?"

"I'm determined to make it all the way to Tokyo!"

There was a brief silence in the carriage, then the communications soldier suddenly turned around and said earnestly:

"Commander, what if I've been parasitized by a monster?"

"You must kill me."

"If you ever have the chance to return to Earth in the future, remember to tell my mother."

"I'm not a coward!"

Seeing this, the commanders were stunned. Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang took a deep breath and said:

"Since things have come to this, we must deal with whatever comes our way."

"We will definitely get back!"

As he spoke, he picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone:

"Comrades, I have some bad news to tell you."

"It's like our whole team has traveled through time."

"This is the United States in 2032."

"And I heard on the radio that an unidentified monster has appeared here."

"So we may have a series of tough battles to fight next."

"But I believe the soldiers of the Republic will never fear battle!"

He paused for a moment, then his tone became exceptionally firm and unquestionable.

"Everyone is now on my orders!"

"Next, we have three goals."

"First, the rear guard becomes the front guard, we retreat along the same route and search for a possible 'teleportation portal'."

"Second, evacuate the area. The US military will launch a nuclear bombing in thirty minutes."

"Third, go to the East! Return to our motherland in this world!"

"Monsters have descended, the nation needs us!"

Just as he finished speaking, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the carriage!

"Battalion Commander, the radar has detected a large number of unidentified targets."

"They're rapidly approaching us!"
