My World War II: From the Arctic to Berlin

[Hardcore World War II] [Eastern Front Perspective] [Lesser-Known Battlefields]

Liu Ye wakes up to find himself sprawled in a trench above the Arctic Circle, with German submachine guns rattling nearby and a Russian major's uniform on his back.

Yesterday, he was filling out reports in an office tower. Today, he has to lead a handful of shell-shocked recruits to plug a gap in the front line torn open by the German army.

The good news is that he can see everyone's position. Enemies appear as red markers and allies as green, like he's got wallhacks. The bad news is that his superior has ordered him to lead a frontal assault, and German reinforcements have already arrived.

Pressing on means certain death. Retreating against orders means a court-martial.

At this desperate moment, he is recruited by naval intelligence and becomes a naval infantryman, taking on the toughest missions no one else can handle.
