Chapter 921 Final Tactical Deployment
In the temporary combat command room of the Skeleton Division, Ike held an encrypted communication phone and stared intently ahead, as if he could penetrate the telephone line and look directly into the eyes of Li Fei'er, the commander of the Revitalization Division, who was hundreds of kilometers away.
"Commander Li Fei'er, this is Ike." Ike's voice was low and powerful, and it passed through the wind and snow through the radio waves and reached the other party's ears.
"Commander Ike, received." Li Fei'er's voice responded quickly.
Although the two had never met, their years of battlefield experience had allowed them to establish a tacit understanding between them that required no words.
"What's the current situation?" Ike went straight to the point. He knew that time was running out and every second was crucial.
"The Revitalization Division has completed the occupation of Jinshi, Koya and other cities as planned. The troops are resting and preparing for the next move." Li Feier reported, "Hiroshima's defense system seems tight, but after our intelligence analysis, its eastern defense line has weak points, especially in the mountainous area at the junction of Yoshiwa City and Hiroshima City. The enemy's defense is relatively loose."
Ike nodded slightly, with a plan in mind: "Very good, this is our chance. I plan to have the Skeleton Division launch the main attack from south to north, using the cover of night to quickly break through Yoshiwa City and go straight to the heart of the defense line on the east side of Hiroshima City. At the same time, I need you to command the Revitalization Division to launch a feint attack from the west to attract the attention of the main force of the enemy and create conditions for us to break through."
"Understood. I will deploy it immediately." Li Fei'er agreed without hesitation.
"In addition," Ike changed the subject, "considering the possible countermeasures that the enemy may take, I suggest that we set up multiple rapid reaction forces. Once we encounter stubborn resistance or the enemy counterattacks, they can quickly support the front line and ensure the smooth implementation of the combat plan."
"Good idea, I will start preparing immediately." Li Feier agreed, "Then, what is the specific time for action?"
"It's midnight tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is strong. It's the best time for a surprise attack." Ike decided decisively, "Before that, please make sure all troops are fully prepared. There must be no sloppiness in every link, including equipment inspection, ammunition supply, and wounded transportation."
"Don't worry, Commander Ike, the Zhenxing Division will never let you down."
"See you on the battlefield!"
Ike stood in front of the battle map, his fingers gently running across the rugged mountains that bordered Yoshiwa City and Hiroshima City. He turned to face the staff team behind him and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Everyone, the moment of decisive battle has arrived. Our goal is to completely destroy the enemy's defenses and capture Hiroshima City."
"The First Grenadier Regiment, commanded by Colonel Harvey, will be the spearhead of this battle. Your mission is to use the border between Yoshiwa City and Hiroshima as a breakthrough point and launch a strong attack. Remember, speed is the key, we must tear through the enemy's defenses at lightning speed." Ike's eyes swept over the commander of the First Grenadier Regiment. Colonel Harvey stepped forward and responded loudly: "Yes, commander! Make sure to complete the mission!"
"The Second Grenadier Regiment, as the reserve force, is ready to support the actions of the First Grenadier Regiment at any time. You must remain highly vigilant and immediately engage in battle once any changes occur on the front line to ensure the stability of the breakthrough." Ike continued to deploy, and the commander of the Second Grenadier Regiment also responded quickly, indicating that they were fully prepared.
"As for the 3rd Grenadier Regiment, the Armored Assault Battalion, and the Armored Heavy Artillery Battalion, your tasks are even more arduous. You will launch a strong attack from the west and directly impact the enemy's core area. The Armored Assault Battalion must use your mobility to quickly penetrate and disrupt the enemy's deployment; the Armored Heavy Artillery Battalion will be responsible for providing continuous fire support and clearing the way for the infantry." Ike's words revealed unquestionable authority, and the commanders of various units nodded to show that they understood.
"Finally, Rocket Battalion, your mission is to provide a blanket fire coverage of the enemy positions. I want you to destroy the enemy's fortifications in the shortest possible time and clear the way for the infantry's charge."
The commander of the Rocket Battalion responded excitedly: "Yes, Commander! We will let the enemy experience what real firepower coverage is!"
As Ike issued a series of orders, the entire Skeleton Division began to operate rapidly like a sophisticated war machine.
The soldiers were busy and orderly preparing, including equipment inspection, ammunition supply, tactical drills... every link was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere.
At the same time, in the Revitalization Division headquarters on the other side, Li Feier was also issuing orders in an orderly manner. He knew very well that the victory of this battle depended not only on the strong attack of the Skull Division, but also on the cooperation and support of the Revitalization Division.
"Reconnaissance Battalion, set off immediately, go deep behind enemy lines, collect intelligence, and ensure we have the latest developments on the battlefield." Li Fei'er gave the first order.
"Engineer Battalion, prepare explosive materials and stand by to open a path for the infantry."
"Communications Battalion, strengthen communications with all units to ensure accurate transmission of orders."
……
Following the issuance of a series of orders by Li Feil, the Revitalization Division also took quick action.
The two ace divisions, like two sharp daggers, were slowly approaching Hiroshima City, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
On the front battlefield west of Hiroshima, on a vast and flat plain, the night was as dark as ink and everything was silent. Only the occasional sound of the wind broke the tranquility.
On this seemingly peaceful land, the Rocket Battalion's 200 Hail rocket launchers have been quietly deployed. They are lined up in a row, with their muzzles pointing straight into the distance, like a group of giant beasts ready to go, ready to devour all obstacles that block their progress.
Major Hu Xun, the commander of the Rocket Battalion, a burly and sharp-eyed officer, was standing in front of the command vehicle, staring at the combat map and communication equipment in his hands.
"Attention all companies, confirm that the coordinates of the enemy positions are correct." Major Hu Xun issued the final confirmation instructions to each company through the communicator.
Soon, each company responded, confirming that the coordinates were correct and everything was ready.
"Very good, everyone listen up!" Major Hu Xun's voice rang out in the communication channel, "Our target is the main position of the enemy's front, and we must inflict heavy damage on them at once. Now, I order - open fire!"
Following Major Hu Xun's order, 200 Hail rocket launchers instantly burst out with astonishing energy.
Thousands of rockets drew dazzling tracks in the night sky, pouring down like a meteor shower, illuminating the entire night sky.
They came with the sound of whistling wind and with the force of thunder and lightning, attacking the enemy positions directly.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky from the enemy's position, explosions rang out one after another, and smoke and dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun.
The blazing flames and billowing smoke instantly engulfed the originally solid fortifications. The shock wave generated by the explosion made the earth tremble, as if even time had frozen at this moment.
