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

Chapter 742 Fruitful Result: Roll Arrives

In the spacious conference room of the Northwest Army Headquarters, the lights were on and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. A huge battle map covered the entire wall, marking every inch of change on the battle line. Li Minghui, the commander of the 111th Assault Division of the Fourth Army, was wearing a neat military uniform and standing in front of the conference table. He had a resolute face and a sharp gaze, and was reporting the latest battle situation in detail to Commander Zheng Zeyu.

"Report to the commander, after two consecutive rounds of accurate fire coverage by our rocket brigade, Nanjiuzhou City has suffered heavy damage and the enemy's defense system has almost collapsed. Afterwards, I personally led the assault regiment and quickly broke into the city according to the predetermined plan, and carried out comprehensive finishing and battlefield cleanup work." Li Minghui's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word revealed the pride of victory and disdain for the enemy.

He paused and continued, "At present, the entire Nanjiuzhou City has been completely reduced to ruins, and the enemy's resistance has been basically eliminated. We conducted a carpet search in the ruins, but unfortunately, except for a few captured enemy soldiers, we found almost no survivors. We won an overwhelming victory in this battle."

"All the captives have been executed according to our plan."

Zheng Zeyu sat at the end of the long table, wearing a marshal's uniform, majestic and solemn. He listened quietly to Li Minghui's report, without much expression on his face, but his eyes flashed with complex light.

After Li Minghui finished his report, Zheng Zeyu slowly stood up, looked around at the generals present, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the victory of this battle is not only a recognition of our heroic fighting, but also a powerful response to the enemy's arrogance. But we must be aware that this is only the beginning of Fuso's fall. They have brought great disasters to our country and people, and we must make them pay for this blood debt with blood!"

His voice was full of power, and every word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. "We must remember the national hatred and family feuds, and never forget our historical mission. What we have to do next is to take over the entire Kashima area and march straight to Fukuoka!"

After reporting the battle situation, Li Minghui's expression became solemn. He took a deep breath and slowly turned to Commander Zheng Zeyu, preparing to report the more sensitive and heavy casualties.

"Regarding casualties, Commander," Li Minghui said in a deep and powerful voice, "Thanks to the precise strikes of our rocket brigade and the swift actions of the assault regiment, our casualties in this battle were far lower than expected. Due to the dense and efficient firepower coverage, the enemy posed almost no effective threat to our troops. Therefore, our soldiers were able to carry out their mission in a relatively safe environment."

He paused and said, "Specifically, our troops suffered very few casualties in this battle. Only a few soldiers were killed in sporadic resistance while clearing the battlefield. In addition, some soldiers are receiving treatment for minor injuries caused by the aftermath of the explosion, but none of them are in danger of life. It can be said that this was a battle in which a huge victory was achieved at a very small cost."

However, "as for the spoils of war, due to the huge explosive power of the rockets, most of the facilities, equipment and even enemy supplies in the city were almost reduced to fragments in the explosion. Although we tried our best to search, we did not capture many intact spoils of war, mainly including some scattered weapons and ammunition, some documents and materials that had not been destroyed, and a small number of enemy prisoners."

He shook his head. "The special feature of this battle is that it was almost a devastating blow. Our long-range firepower was so terrifying that it almost tore apart every inch of land in Southern Kyushu."

As the meeting progressed, the discussion became increasingly heated. The generals expressed their opinions on the next battle plan, and the atmosphere was tense and full of fighting spirit. Suddenly, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, and a guard walked in quickly. His steps were steady and hurried, and it was obvious that there was important news to be conveyed.

The guard walked straight to Zheng Zeyu, bowed slightly, and whispered in his ear: "Commander, Commander Luo Er of the Second Air Division has arrived. He is waiting outside the conference room now."

Zheng Zeyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly glanced at the generals present, signaling them to be quiet for the time being. He stood up and straightened his uniform. As the commander of the Second Air Division, Roll's arrival meant that the Second Air Division was ready to participate in the war, which would undoubtedly have an important impact on the next combat plan.

"Everyone, please be patient." Zheng Zeyu's voice was steady and powerful, instantly calming the noise in the conference room. "Commander Luo Er of the Second Air Division has arrived. His arrival will bring us new strategic perspectives and valuable advice. Now, I will go out to greet him personally."

After that, Zheng Zeyu strode to the door of the conference room, and the generals stood up and watched him leave. They knew that this meeting was not only a respect for Division Commander Luo Er, but also a high regard for the upcoming combat operations.

In the corridor outside the conference room, Zheng Zeyu and Division Commander Luo Er shook hands tightly, with determination and trust in their eyes. Division Commander Luo Er wore a special uniform of the aviation division, with dazzling badges on his shoulder straps. He smiled, but his brows revealed a kind of awe-inspiring temperament.

"Commander Luo Er, your arrival is really timely!" Zheng Zeyu said enthusiastically, "We are discussing the next battle plan, and your opinion is crucial to us."

Division Commander Luo Er nodded and responded, "Commander Zheng, you are too polite. I also received an urgent order and immediately rushed here to discuss the plan with you. I believe that through our joint efforts, we will be able to formulate a more perfect combat plan."

After a brief exchange of words, the two returned to the conference room together. Seeing this, the generals stood up and applauded in welcome. The meeting once again reached a climax, with discussions going on one after another, and together they drew a magnificent blueprint for the next battle.

"Everyone," Rawl's voice was clear and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention, "Our top priority now is to buy time and capture the strategic location of Kashima City before the enemy reinforcements arrive." His tone revealed an unquestionable tone, as if he had simulated this upcoming battle in his mind countless times.

Then, Rawl elaborated on their battle plan in detail: "I have developed a detailed air strike plan for Kashima City, striving to weaken the enemy's defenses in the shortest possible time and create favorable conditions for the subsequent ground forces' offensive. To this end, two elite flight squadrons of the Second Air Division have arrived at the military airport outside Minami Kyushu City in advance. They are making final preparations before the war to ensure that every link is foolproof."

He paused, his eyes sharper. "According to our intelligence analysis, although the enemy's defense layout in Kashima City is tight, it also has obvious weaknesses. We plan to take advantage of these weaknesses and launch a surprise attack in the early morning of tomorrow when the enemy's defense is most relaxed. The two flying squadrons will enter the airspace over Kashima City from the east and west respectively, using high and low combination tactics to carry out precise strikes on the enemy's command center, important military facilities and transportation hubs."

At this point, a grim smile appeared on Rawl's face. "I believe that under such a fierce air strike, Kashima City's defense system will suffer heavy losses, and our ground forces' offensive will be smoother. Of course, all this requires close coordination and precise execution between us. I hope that everyone can fully support this operation and work together for the final victory."

After listening to Luo Er's report, Zheng Zeyu's eyes flashed with approval. He stood up, walked to Luo Er, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Luo Er, your plan is very thorough, and I fully agree with it. Please tell your flying wing that our ground forces will fully cooperate with their actions to ensure the success of the air strike."
