Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 701 Air Defense Deployment Map Operation Plan

Inside the expeditionary force headquarters in Nagasaki, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was tense and solemn. The huge battle map hanging on the wall was covered with various marks and lines, showing every corner of the battlefield in detail. Su Zhengyang, Gudean, Stein and other senior commanders sat around a long table, and everyone's face was filled with deep concern for the current predicament of the SS Division.

Su Zhengyang, as the commander-in-chief, spoke first. His voice was steady and powerful: "Everyone, we are all aware of the difficulties currently faced by the SKULL Division. The enemy's fortifications are extremely strong, and our ground forces have encountered unprecedented resistance during the advance. This not only tests our tactical level, but also our will and determination."

He paused, his eyes swept over every commander present, and continued, "But please believe that this difficulty is only temporary. Since its establishment, our expeditionary force has never backed down from any challenge. Now, we need to brainstorm and work together to come up with a good strategy to break the enemy's defense."

Gudean took over the topic: "I agree with the president. The enemy's fortifications are indeed a headache, but we can't ignore their other weaknesses. For example, are their supply lines stable? Are there loopholes in their communication systems? These are areas we can exploit."

He gestured on the battle map and continued, "At the same time, we also need to strengthen intelligence gathering to ensure that we are fully aware of the enemy's dynamics. Only in this way can we formulate a more accurate and effective battle plan."

Stein also expressed his own views: "I think that in addition to strengthening intelligence work and finding the enemy's weaknesses, we also need to innovate in tactics. The traditional frontal assault is obviously no longer feasible. We need to find new breakthroughs, and the air force is our sword to break the enemy."

Su Zhengyang's voice echoed in the headquarters, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement: "Everyone, just now, I received the latest news from Gangcun. He successfully obtained the specific deployment map of the enemy. The value of this intelligence is self-evident."

As soon as these words came out, the tense and solemn atmosphere was instantly replaced by a new vitality. Gudean's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, like the brightest stars in the night sky. He quickly put down the pen in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and looked extremely focused. He and Stein turned their heads almost at the same time, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need for words, the tacit understanding and excitement were all self-evident.

"That's great!" Gudean was the first to speak, his excitement barely concealed in his voice. "With this deployment map, we will be able to more accurately determine the enemy's weaknesses and weak links in the defense line. This will be the key to our turning the tide of the battle."

Stein spoke slowly: "As you can see, with this detailed deployment map, we can clearly grasp the specific locations of the enemy's air defense units. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can use the long-range precision strike capability of the V2 rocket to carry out targeted elimination of these key targets."

"Imagine," Stein's eyes became deep, as if he had foreseen victory in the battle, "When our V2 rockets streak through the sky and land precisely on the enemy's air defense positions, the anti-aircraft artillery fire that once gave us a headache will no longer pose a threat. This will greatly reduce the risks of our air force in performing missions and make their combat operations more efficient and safer."

Stein's proposal was like a shot in the arm, bringing new hope to the eyes of the commanders present.

Su Zhengyang nodded with satisfaction. He knew the importance of the strategy proposed by Stein. He patted the table and signaled everyone to focus: "Very good, Stein's suggestion is very strategic. Next, what we need to do is to refine this idea into a specific battle plan."

Several people quickly spread the deployment map on the conference table, pointed at the map, and began a more in-depth and detailed discussion. Gudean was responsible for analyzing the distribution of the enemy's air defense positions and finding the most suitable targets for V2 rockets to attack; Stein calculated the best launch angle and trajectory of the V2 rocket based on Gudean's analysis results; and Su Zhengyang was responsible for coordinating the overall situation to ensure the smooth implementation of the entire plan.

During the discussion, people occasionally raised questions or suggestions, but they were all answered and adopted one by one. As time went on, a detailed and thorough battle plan gradually took shape in their hands.

Inside the expeditionary force's headquarters, Su Zhengyang stood by the window, staring out at the deserted city beyond the window.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"come in."

Wang Yi, the highest commander of the expeditionary force missile force, pushed the door open and saluted Su Zhengyang: "Hello, President!"

"Wang Yi," Su Zhengyang said in a deep and powerful voice, "there is a vital task that needs to be carried out by your missile force. We have already mastered the exact location of the enemy's air defense unit at the airport in the Hongyan Mountain area, which is a key link in their defense system. Our goal is to use the V2 rocket's precise guidance system to carry out a devastating blow there and clear the way for the next air strike."

Wang Yi's expression instantly became serious and focused when he heard this. He stood up straight with a sharp gaze, as if he had seen the rocket streaking across the sky and accurately hitting the target. He replied in a deep voice: "Commander-in-Chief Su, I fully understand the importance of the mission. Please rest assured that the missile force has made full preparations. We guarantee that we will use the advanced technology of the V2 rocket to ensure that every rocket can accurately hit the target and deal a fatal blow to the enemy."

Su Zhengyang nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Wang Yi's answer. He walked to the conference table, spread out the carefully prepared battle plan, and explained to Wang Yi in detail every detail of the operation: from the launch site and time of the rocket, to the planning of the flight trajectory, the confirmation of the target coordinates, to the formulation of backup plans, and the preparation of emergency measures, all of which reflected the expeditionary force's careful deployment and high attention to this operation.

While listening to Su Zhengyang's explanation, Wang Yi carefully made marks on the battle plan map and raised his own questions and suggestions from time to time.

Finally, Su Zhengyang patted Wang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Wang Yi, this mission is of great importance. I believe that your missile force will live up to expectations and complete the mission successfully. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, I would like to express my highest respect and most sincere gratitude to you."

Wang Yi nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, President. The missile troops are determined to complete the mission!"
