Chapter 309: Dispatching Troops to the Northwest
The door of the conference room slowly closed, and the slight and heavy "creak" sound was like a long sigh.
General Shi, commander of the Cheetah Field Army and deputy military host, used to act with swift and decisiveness, like a gust of wind, solving problems neatly and efficiently wherever he went.
But at this moment, although his steps were still steady, he could not hide the feeling of heaviness.
Every step he took seemed to be carrying a huge weight, and the soles of his shoes made a dull sound when they touched the ground.
He did not rush back to the troops, but followed the chief host silently, like a loyal guard, but with a heavy heart.
The footsteps of the two people echoed clearly in the empty corridor, "thump, thump, thump", each step was firm and powerful, as if to imprint their inner determination on this long corridor.
Under the light as bright as daylight, their figures moved alternately on the ground and walls, like characters in a shadow play, performing the silent story of the moment.
The light illuminated the entire corridor in every detail, and every corner was clearly displayed. Even the subtle lines on the wall seemed to be magnified and clearly visible, as if telling the countless past events that had happened here.
The chief host tilted his head slightly and glanced at his usually decisive and capable comrade-in-arms from the corner of his eye.
General Shi's expression was somewhat solemn at the moment. His eyes, which used to be bright and heroic, now had a hint of thought. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was weighing something important.
The host's deep eyes seemed to contain endless words, just like the deep night sky, with twinkling yet elusive stars.
He just shook his head gently without making any sound, as if he was silently comforting the other person, or as if he was telling himself that some things needed to be reconsidered.
They walked along the bright corridor, with lights illuminating their path, as if guiding them towards an unknown direction.
The light shone on them, casting long shadows, and the shadows kept changing shape as they moved.
Finally, it stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary door.
This door has an ordinary appearance and no special decoration. If you don't look closely, it can easily be blended into the surrounding walls.
But who would have thought that behind this door was a secret room where decision makers discussed confidential matters, hiding countless unknown secrets.
With a slight "creak", the door of the secret room slowly opened. The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent corridor.
After passing through three doors, you will arrive at an enclosed space.
The lights in the room were equally bright and dazzling, without any dimness or haziness, showing every detail of the room without reservation.
The smooth ground reflected the light, making people's eyes dizzy;
The strategic maps hanging on the wall now appeared exceptionally clear under the light. The various symbols and lines marked on them seemed like the mysterious code of a grand war.
The chief host walked straight to the center of the room, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his back firm and steady, revealing an innate leadership temperament.
He turned around slowly, the bright light shining on his face, outlining his well-defined features and making his eyes appear sharper than torches, looking straight at General Shi in front of him.
He spoke, his tone carrying a subtle gentleness, yet also an unquestionable majesty. His voice echoed in the empty room:
"Is it about Li Yunlong?"
When General Shi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if his most secret thoughts were seen through at once, just like a stone was suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
But this hint of surprise quickly disappeared, replaced by a smile of admiration at the corner of his mouth.
"Amazing! How did you know? Your eyes are even sharper than a drone!"
The chief host smiled slightly, and there was some deep meaning in his smile, as if everything was under control.
His eyes revealed wisdom and composure, and he spoke softly:
"Haha, the only thing that needs to be kept secret from the hosts is probably Li Yunlong's information about the system."
That smile and words were like the key to unlocking a puzzle, instantly making the originally obscure topic between the two people clear.
General Shi's smile became even wider, and that smile seemed to be able to dispel all the haze in front of him.
There was a glimmer of determination and expectation in his eyes, like a burning flame, hot and bright, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
He took a step forward, his posture erect and his expression serious, exuding the courage and fortitude of a soldier.
"Our field army has three artillery brigades, but we need to leave two behind to prevent Jiang Wufa and the Japanese pirates from attacking from other directions. So we can only take one artillery brigade with us when we go on the expedition."
He frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone.
“Then the artillery force would be too weak.
On the battlefield, artillery is crucial fire support, and weak artillery forces will undoubtedly bring great difficulties to combat."
After a brief pause, he looked expectantly and continued:
"So, I would like to ask you if I can mobilize the students from the Artillery School to go with the army, and let Li Yunlong go too."
When he mentioned Li Yunlong, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"He has the system at his disposal, and at critical moments, he can conjure up several artillery brigades like magic.
With the addition of Li Yunlong and his students, our artillery force will be greatly strengthened, giving us more initiative on the battlefield."
The host's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the light in his eyes was as shining as the stars in the night sky.
Obviously, he was deeply attracted by this bold and creative proposal.
His eyes were bright and focused as he looked at General Shi, as if he was looking through his body to see farther and further, to the future of victory in this war.
Then he nodded vigorously and said:
"This way we can catch the enemy by surprise. It's really a great trick!"
His voice was full of praise and affirmation.
"I agreed.
Letting young people in school experience the baptism of actual combat is the best training for them.
Actual combat can help them truly understand war and grow rapidly."
He paused slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and continued:
“As for Li Yunlong, his existence itself is an inestimable strategic resource.
He always creates unexpected miracles with his unique tactics and mysterious system."
At this point, a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen the scene of Li Yunlong shining brilliantly on the battlefield.
"I think you can also bring some students from the National University of Defense Technology and the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and let them go along to gain some experience.
After this battle, even if the air assault brigade cannot be formed, at least a lot of valuable experience in helicopter combat can be accumulated.
These young forces will be the hope for our future military development."
"The chief host is indeed far-sighted and thoughtful!"
General Shi's face was full of admiration and he was full of praise.
His face was filled with sincere admiration and his eyes were full of respect for the chief host.
"Our army has already achieved some success in deploying troops using transport helicopters. The Battle of Zhongning has made us famous!"
He frowned slightly, and his expression became serious.
"But there is still a long way to go in terms of using attack helicopters to operate in conjunction with ground forces.
This is a good opportunity for them to train well, learn while fighting, accumulate valuable practical experience, and lay a solid foundation for future military development."
Under this bright light, which illuminates every corner like daylight, the figures of the two people are clearly illuminated, as if they were frozen in this moment of history.
Their every expression and every movement is clearly visible.
At this moment, every decision they discussed seemed to shine with the light of wisdom, painting a hopeful blueprint for the upcoming war.
These decisions are like stars, gathering into a brilliant galaxy and illuminating the way forward.
As the decision was finalized, the atmosphere in the secret room seemed to become relaxed.
The originally tense and oppressive atmosphere seemed to be injected with a fresh force at this moment, becoming relaxed and comfortable.
The chief host and General Shi sat down at the table and conducted a more detailed study and discussion of the details of the battle.
Sometimes they frowned in thought, sometimes argued fiercely, and sometimes smiled knowingly. Every action showed their seriousness in taking this war and their determination to win.
"Without further delay, I will immediately assemble my troops and set off, and at the same time send a plane to pick up Li Yunlong."
General Shi stood up abruptly, his eyes firm, his words revealing firm determination and urgency.
His voice was firm, as if he couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield and fight for victory.
"Well, I'll leave the Northwest War to you."
The host said solemnly, his eyes full of trust and entrustment,
"In an emergency, you make the decision on the spot without asking for permission.
You have extensive combat experience and outstanding command abilities, and I believe you will be able to handle any emergency."
After saying this, he stretched out his right hand and shook hands tightly with General Shi.
The two people's hands were tightly clasped together, as if conveying infinite power.
Their eyes sparkled with a firm belief in victory and deep trust in each other. This trust, as strong as steel, would support them in facing the coming storm of war together.
In the mountainous area of southern Shandong, the warm sunshine is like a layer of soft gauze, gently pouring down on the earth.
The breeze brings a hint of coolness, like an invisible hand, gently blowing through the mountains and forests.
The leaves rustled in the gentle breeze.
However, this gentle and pleasant breeze could not blow away the burning passion in Li Yunlong's heart.
At this moment, he stood upright on the high ground, like a towering mountain.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring intently at the youthful and energetic yet slightly immature team in front of him - the Iron Flow Field Army led by him personally.
In just less than half a year, the Tieliu Field Army grew and developed rapidly at an almost astonishing speed, just like all things that flourish in early summer.
At first, this team had only more than 20,000 people, but now it has grown to nearly 60,000 people.
The soldiers were lined up in neat rows, their young faces filled with infinite longing for the future and passion.
But Li Yunlong knew better than anyone that the rapid increase in the number of team members did not bring all good news.
These recruits, like unpolished jade, have unlimited potential, but they are unfamiliar with and uncomfortable with the new weapons.
Not to mention the new recruits, even the veterans who had been fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas of southern Shandong were inevitably at a loss when faced with these new equipment.
In the past, they only used muskets and bird guns in battle. If they could own a Hanyang-made musket, they would be so excited that they would not be able to sleep for several nights.
Moreover, at that time, the number of bullets carried by everyone never exceeded ten.
