Chapter 845 Target and Enemy Information
In the temporary command center on Shikoku Island, Liu Chengxu stood in front of a huge combat map, staring at the Waka area marked on the map, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.
Suddenly, a signalman hurried over, holding an encrypted telegram from the command center in his hand.
"General, there's an urgent message from the command center!" There was a hint of urgency in the signalman's voice.
Liu Chengxu quickly took the telegram and quickly browsed through its contents.
The telegram detailed that the Third Fleet of the North Sea would cooperate with the actions of the Central Plains Army Group and jointly advance towards the Waka region. The primary task was to capture the two major ports of Waka Inami and Tanabe, and occupy the main coastal city of Kii in the shortest possible time.
"Great! We're finally here!" Liu Chengxu whispered to himself, then looked up at the generals and staff officers present, "Everyone, the order from the General Command Center has been issued. We must act immediately and formulate a detailed battle plan!"
Upon hearing this, the generals gathered around the map, seriousness and concentration written all over their faces.
Liu Chengxu picked up the baton and began to explain the combat intention in detail: "First, we must make full use of the firepower advantage of the Third Fleet of the North Sea to carry out saturation bombing on the two major ports of Waka Inami and Tanabe, destroy the enemy's defense facilities, and create favorable conditions for subsequent landing operations."
As he spoke, he marked the bombing area on the map and then pointed to the major coastal city of Kii. "After taking the port, our main force will quickly land and split into two groups. One group will go straight to Kii, and the other will be responsible for clearing the remaining enemies in the coastal areas and ensuring that our logistic supply lines are unobstructed."
The generals listened carefully to Liu Chengxu's explanation and nodded in agreement from time to time. The staff quickly recorded the key information and outlined the attack routes and defense points on the map with different colored markers.
"In addition," Liu Chengxu continued, "we must also pay special attention to the enemy's counterattacks and reinforcements. The intelligence department must always pay attention to changes in the enemy situation to ensure that we can respond in a timely manner. At the same time, we must also strengthen communication and coordination with the North Sea Third Fleet to ensure the smooth progress of sea-land coordinated operations."
As Liu Chengxu explained in depth, the battle plan gradually became clear in the minds of the generals. They began to discuss the plan, put forward their own suggestions and opinions, and continuously improve and optimize the battle plan.
Chen Tong walked slowly into the combat meeting room with a heavy stack of intelligence in his hand. The atmosphere in the room instantly became more tense because of his arrival, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the stack of documents in his hand.
"Everyone," Chen Tong said in a deep and powerful voice. He gently placed the intelligence on the conference table and then opened the pages one by one. "This is the latest enemy information just sent by the Intelligence Bureau. The situation is more complicated than we expected."
He looked up at the generals and staff officers present and continued, "The Fuso Empire has obviously seen through our strategic intentions. They have deployed heavy troops in the Wakata and Nagoya regions. With the Nagoya Division, known as the 'Flower of the Empire', as the core, and supported by the A-class divisions such as the Ueyama Division and the Kuishan Division, a total of 250,000 troops have built a solid defense line."
At this point, Chen Tong paused slightly, as if to give everyone time to digest this information. Then, his tone became more severe: "It is particularly noteworthy that the Nagoya Division is a rare armored division in the Fuso Empire, famous for its powerful armored forces and highly mobile infantry units. The mobility, combat effectiveness, and execution of this unit are all excellent, and it is a tough nut that we will have to face in future operations."
"And the commander of this huge army is Chuichi Nagumo, who is known as the 'Soul of the Imperial Army'."
"This man not only has a unique strategic vision, but is also good at seizing fleeting opportunities on the battlefield. He is a shining star in the military of the Fuso Empire."
The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly heavy, and the generals whispered to each other, discussing this sudden change in intelligence.
Seeing this, Chen Tong knocked on the table gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Faced with such an enemy, we cannot be careless or underestimate the enemy." His words were full of unquestionable determination, "But at the same time, we cannot shrink back because of this. What we need to do is to plan our battle plans more carefully, work together more closely, and defeat everything."
Chen Tong stood in front of the battle sand table, slowly moving the baton in his hand on the sand table. As he explained, lines outlined the enemy's defenses around Kii City.
"According to the latest intelligence, the enemy's defenses around Kii City are quite tight." Chen Tong's eyes swept across the sand table, as if he could penetrate space and look directly at the distant battlefield. "The armored forces of the Nagoya Division have been deployed in the north of Kii City, relying on the terrain advantage to form a solid line of defense. The Shangyong Division and the Kuishan Division are divided into two wings, forming a pincer attack, trying to compress our army into a limited space."
Having said this, he paused, glanced at the generals present, and observed their reactions.
Everyone had frowned or lowered their heads in thought, obviously digesting this important intelligence information.
"But we also have our advantages." Chen Tong changed the subject, his tone revealing confidence, "We have flexible tactics and more advanced equipment. More importantly, we have firm beliefs and determination to win. Next, we need to further optimize our battle plan based on the enemy's deployment."
Chen Tong gently pressed the button on the side of the sand table, and various colored marks began to appear on the sand table, representing different combat units and tactical arrangements.
"I suggest that we adopt the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. We can first use part of our forces to attract the enemy's main force, and then use our army's high mobility to quickly penetrate the weak point of the enemy's defense line and launch a surprise attack."
Following Chen Tong’s explanation, a new round of discussion began in the conference room.
The generals put forward their own opinions and additions. Some advocated strengthening reconnaissance and intelligence work to ensure the accuracy of information; others proposed taking advantage of night battles and terrain to reduce losses in head-on confrontations.
While listening, Chen Tong wrote down everyone's opinions with a pen, nodded from time to time to express his agreement or asked questions, guiding the discussion to go deeper.
The entire conference room was filled with a strong fighting spirit and a tense atmosphere. Only through sufficient discussion and preparation could the most effective battle plan be worked out to ensure ultimate victory.
