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

Chapter 675 Final Preparations Before the War

Please describe a paragraph in which, in the operations meeting room of the Central Military Region Command in Beilong City, Commander Gudean of the Central Military Region, Commander of the Air Force Goering, Commander of the South China Sea Fleet Mountbatten, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Mize, Chief of the General Staff Liu Gangding, and commanders of major military regions gathered together.

Su Zhengyang personally presided over this combat meeting, with former President Yang Jiakai and Prime Minister Duan Jinshu in attendance.

The atmosphere in the combat laboratory was solemn and dignified. All participants sat upright and focused their attention on the center. Su Zhengyang, the president of China, spoke calmly, his voice clear and powerful, penetrating every corner of the room: "General Liu Kangding, how are our preparations for the combat plan against Fuso going?"

Liu Gangding stood up after hearing this, his eyes firm. "Mr. President, we have made careful arrangements for this battle plan against Fuso." He paused for a moment to make his tone more effective. "Admiral Raymond, the commander of the North Sea Fleet, will personally lead the entire North Sea Fleet as the vanguard of this battle and fire the first shot. Our goal is to completely annihilate the effective forces of Fuso's Asian Sea Fleet and Pacific Fleet at sea."

"In terms of specific strategy," Liu Gangding continued, "the North Sea Fleet will concentrate its superior forces and take Nagasaki Port in the west of Kyushu Island and Nagashika Port in the south as the main attack targets. These two military ports are not only important bases of the Fuso Navy, but also the lifeline of its maritime transportation. Once we successfully occupy these two ports, it means that we have truly opened the sea bridge between China and Fuso, paving the way for subsequent expeditionary operations. It can be said that the control of these two ports is the top priority of this battle."

At this point, Admiral Raymond, a naval commander who was over fifty but still energetic, stood up, his eyes gleaming with the light of victory. "Mr. President, General Liu, please rest assured, I, Raymond, guarantee with my military honor that I will live up to everyone's expectations, complete the mission, and completely defeat Fuso's naval forces!" His voice was loud and firm, full of desire and confidence for victory.

At this time, Lieutenant General Mountbatten, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, could no longer contain his excitement. He turned to Liu Gangding and asked eagerly: "General Liu, what role will our South China Sea Fleet play in this battle? Please be sure to let us know, we can't wait to fight for the glory of our country!" His tone contained both inquiry and a request for battle, and it was obvious that he was full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

Liu Gangding nodded slightly upon hearing this, turned his gaze to Mountbatten, and explained in detail: "General Mountbatten, the mission of the South China Sea Fleet is indeed important. You must not only ensure the unimpeded flow of maritime supply lines and provide solid logistical support for the front-line troops, but also effectively prevent the Fuso Navy Fleet from returning to the mainland from peripheral areas such as the Philippines. This is a key link in cutting off its strategic support. More importantly, when the war develops to the right time, you will directly launch an offensive against Bending Port in the southern part of Fuso Shikoku Island. This will not only open up a third front for the expeditionary force, but also form a pincer attack on Fuso from the north and south, greatly accelerating its collapse."

Liu Gangding's voice echoed in the conference room: "Generals, the moment our navy achieves a decisive victory at sea, it is time for our army to launch an all-out attack." His words were like a war drum, inspiring everyone present.

"The five ace divisions of the Central Military Region, as the elite forces of our country, will shoulder the heavy responsibility of landing in Nagasaki. They will attack the heart of Fuso Kyushu Island - Morimoto Castle with a thunderous force."

Then, Liu Gangding turned his gaze to the corner of the conference table, where the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, Zheng Zeyu, sat. "The Northwest Military Region, under the personal leadership of General Zheng Zeyu, will dispatch three elite army-level troops to land at the strategic location of Changlu Port. Their task is equally arduous, but I believe that under the wise command of General Zheng, these three troops will be able to march northward with unstoppable force, form a pincer attack with the troops of the Central Military Region, and completely destroy Fuso's defense system."

As soon as Liu Gangding finished speaking, Jiang Dapao, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region, could not suppress his dissatisfaction. His rough voice broke the silence in the room: "General Liu, I have a question. Fuso and the Northeast have an indelible blood feud, and our people still remember the suffering of those years. Why didn't we see the Northeast Army in this battle? Have our hatred and sacrifices been forgotten?"

Jiang Dapao's words were full of emotion. His eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at Liu Kangding, as if seeking a satisfactory answer.

Liu Gangding understood Jiang Dapao's feelings. He was well aware of the historical disputes between the Northeast Army and Fuso. So, he replied calmly and firmly: "Commander Jiang, please allow me to explain. For this campaign, we did make a comprehensive consideration and deployment of the forces of each military region. As one of the elite forces of our country, the Northeast Army is of great importance. However, the layout of the campaign needs to take into account many factors, including terrain, enemy situation, and our strategic intentions."

"At present, our primary goal is to quickly open the sea route and form a strategic encirclement of Fuso. Therefore, the actions of the North Sea Fleet and the South Sea Fleet are crucial. As for the army, we chose to carry out landing operations from the two strategic points of Nagasaki and Nagashika Port, which is also to maximize our military advantage and achieve a quick victory."

"Of course, I am well aware of the grudges between the Northeastern Army and Fuso. Please believe that in future combat plans, we will definitely provide the Northeastern Army with more opportunities so that they can personally avenge their fellow countrymen in their hometown. But now, what we need is unity and to face the strong enemy together. Only in this way can we win the final victory."

In the following meeting, Liu Kangding, like a top strategist, made detailed and careful arrangements for the details and strategic deployment of the battle. He held a detailed battle map and pointed out each key node one by one, from the choice of landing point to the deployment of troops, from firepower support to logistical support, and every detail was considered very carefully.

"We should not only focus on the advancement of the front battlefield," Liu Gangding said seriously, "but also fully consider the enemy's counterattack and flank threats. Therefore, we must deploy sufficient reserve troops in key positions to deal with possible accidents and difficulties." As he spoke, he marked several potential danger areas on the map and gave corresponding response strategies.

As Liu Gangding explained, the atmosphere in the conference room became more solemn, but everyone listened with great interest and admired Liu Gangding's wisdom and courage. Su Zhengyang sat in the main seat, following Liu Gangding's gestures with his eyes, nodding his head from time to time to show his approval.

It can be seen that Liu Kangding put a lot of effort into this battle plan, which is perfect to the extreme and has precise control over all the details.

When Liu Kangding finished explaining all the battle details and strategic deployments, Su Zhengyang stood up, looked around, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Fusang, a country that once coveted China and committed countless crimes on our land, is finally going to pay the price for their atrocities."

"In this war, we don't need any prisoners or survivors. For those enemies who attempt to surrender, we must use iron-blooded means to tell them that China's dignity cannot be violated, and anyone who dares to challenge our bottom line will be punished most severely."

Su Zhengyang's words were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, making people shudder. But his words aroused the fighting spirit and anger in the hearts of everyone present. They knew that this war was not only for the security and stability of the country, but also for justice for those innocent compatriots who were harmed.

"We must use the blood of Fusang to wash away the shame," Su Zhengyang continued, "Let the whole world see that the Chinese people cannot be bullied! We must defeat the enemy completely with overwhelming advantage and let them remember this lesson forever!"

As Su Zhengyang finished his speech, thunderous applause broke out in the conference room. Everyone understood that this war was not just a military conflict, but also a struggle for national dignity and national glory. They would meet the coming challenges with fearless courage and indestructible determination.
