After the simple greetings, everyone's eyes focused on the map on the conference table again.
A general named Nie Chang from General Staff, as the supreme commander and host of the meeting, pointed with a laser pen at the eye-catching purple-black swirl symbol in the center of the map.
"Everyone, since everyone is here, let's get started. This is the core target of our operation - No. 3 Abyss Beast Nest, codenamed "Nightmare Eye"."
Nie Chang works neatly and has a calm voice. The fact that General Staff can entrust such an important task to him is obviously an affirmation of his ability.
However, Lin Yi had no impression of Nie Chang at all. He estimated that this person might have died a long time ago in his previous life.
"According to the intelligence provided by Lin Yi Major, as well as our previous reconnaissance, the core mission of the "Dawn" operation is to withstand the crazy counterattacks of all Abyssal Beast summoned by the nest within an hour of Major Lin's Source Energy Neutralization attack, and ensure that the neutralization process is not interrupted."
Nie Chang glanced across the audience. "Now, the combat staff will briefly introduce the enemy situation and our troop configuration. At the same time, everyone will make supplements, and finally jointly agree on the final tactical plan."
A capable combat officer immediately stood up and took the laser pen:
"In terms of enemy situation: The investigators use the portable Source Energy Detector for reconnaissance. Within 2 kilometers of the nest, the number of conventional Abyssal Wolf is between 1500-2000, and the intensity ranges from 7-15. However, what needs to be paid attention to is that once neutralization begins, according to the intelligence of Major Lin, all Abyssal Beast within its territory will return frantically for reinforcements."
"At the same time, we need to be alert to the reinforcements that will appear in other nests near No. 3 Nest. According to our estimate of the speed of Abyssal Beast, the main ones that may arrive for support within an hour are 1, 2, No. 4 Miniature Nest, and No. 1 Small Nest. The total number is expected to exceed 50,000.
"But the good news is that a lot of elite Abyssal Beast have been eliminated by Major Lin, and no new Leader level Abyssal Beast has been found yet."
"And our combat forces are mainly divided into six parts."
"Armored assault group: 8 Thunder Main Battle Tank, 12 K8 Infantry Fighting Vehicle, 18 Swift Shadow Armored Assault Vehicle. Mainly responsible for frontal assault, fire support and mobile defense."
"Artillery support group: 10 P9-type 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers, which have been pre-calibrated with multiple firing elements to provide full fire coverage."
"Air Commando: 5 Night Owl Armed Helicopter, responsible for battlefield interdiction, precision strikes and emergency support."
"Ground defense force: Fourth Composite Battalion 702 officers and soldiers, equipped with light and heavy firepower such as light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, mortars, etc. They are the cornerstone of the defensive position."
"Special operations team: 3 "Sharp Blade" special tactics teams, responsible for peripheral reconnaissance, guided strikes, important target clearance and Major Lin's close-range security."
"And the core unit: Lin Yi Major, responsible for Source Energy Neutralization."
After seeing the staff member finish speaking, Nie Chang took over.
He turned to look at Lin Yi, perhaps fearing that Lin Yi would misunderstand, and added, "This time Operation Dawn, it's not that General Staff doesn't pay attention to it and doesn't want to invest more troops, but after evaluation, General Staff believes that based on the limits of the surrounding ammunition and fuel reserves that can be dispatched, it makes little sense to invest more troops."
"Well... our weapons can still cause damage to Miniature Nest Abyssal Beast, Small Nest and most of Abyssal Beast. All the forces participating in the battle this time have been allocated sufficient ammunition, and a strong defense line can be built in a short time."
All eyes then turned to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi felt helpless.
This obviously treated him as a layman and was specially explained to him.
Therefore, he didn't say much and said directly, "I have no objection."
Nie Chang nodded, he was afraid that Lin Yi was young and not a professional military personnel after all. At first glance, he felt that the number of people was so small, how could they deal with the siege of four or five lairs, and he felt conflicted in his heart. Since there is no problem now, of course it is the best.
He then continued, "Okay, based on the above, Staff Department has initially drafted the "Three-Layer Guillotine" defense system. Please review and add."
The laser pen lights up the map again:
"The first layer, "Mobile Guillotine", is the peripheral mobile hunting and lag layer."
"Responsible for Special Operations Team 1 and 2, equipped with high-mobility vehicles and communication equipment. Mission: Before neutralization begins, clear the peripheral debris as much as possible Abyssal Beast. After neutralization begins, retreat to the commanding heights on the flanks of the main position and establish observation posts and sniper positions.
"You will be equipped with additional anti-tank missiles to focus on hunting the enemy's high-level Abyssal Beast, and guide artillery and aviation firepower in real time to weaken and delay the incoming beast tide in the first round. The Wu-Zhi formation will also provide aerial hunting support at this stage."
"The second level, "Iron Guillotine", is the core peripheral defense position."
"This is the main body of defense. With the location of the nest as the center and relying on surrounding solid buildings, a ring of defenses is established."
"Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are deployed at the entrances of main streets to form fixed firepower fulcrums and use direct fire to block the streets."
"The infantry battalion relies on building doors and windows and reinforced roadblocks to form a dense cross-fire network to block approaching Abyssal Beast in layers. Heavy machine guns and anti-tank missiles are responsible for dealing with high-intensity targets."
"The self-propelled artillery group presets a position in the rear. According to the guidance of the forward observation post and the special operations team, it will cover a large area of the calibrated area with firepower, focusing on attacking areas with dense animal swarms."
"Some armored vehicles serve as mobile reserves, ready to fill gaps in the defense line or support areas with the greatest pressure."
"The third layer," Final Guillotine"The last barrier and core security layer."
"Composed of Special Operations Team 3 and Battalion Guard Platoon, they are responsible for the final defense within the innermost circle, that is, within a 50-meter radius of the Major Lin neutralization site. They will rely on temporary sandbag fortifications, abandoned vehicles, etc. to form the last line of flesh-and-blood defense."
"Their only mission is to ensure that no Abyssal Beast can break through to Major Lin, at all costs if necessary!"
Nie Chang glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.
"Each layer maintains communication through a combination of wired and wireless communications. Once the pressure on a certain layer is too high or a gap appears, help is immediately requested, and the reserve team and adjacent positions coordinate to make up for it. The firepower of artillery and aviation will be the key to maintaining the position."
A general added, "The ruins of buildings near the nest may hinder the tank's firing range, so engineers need to clear the open space in advance."
"Approved. The engineer platoon gives priority to protecting the tank position." Nie Chang responded immediately.
Another officer pointed to several narrow lanes on the map. "These places cannot be entered by tanks and combat vehicles, and can easily become penetration points. Remote-controlled explosives and traps need to be buried, and hidden fire points must be arranged."
"Agreed. The special operations team will assist in the layout. The defense plan needs to be detailed."
The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, with in-depth discussions and refinements on the details of each layer of defense, firepower distribution, communication support, logistics supplies, casualty evacuation channels, etc.
Every commander was well aware of the importance of this battle and put forward many practical suggestions.
In the end, a "Three-Layer Guillotine" defense plan integrating firepower, terrain, and arms was unanimously recognized by everyone.
The plan not only reflects the firepower advantage of the modern army, but also fully takes into account the particularity of combating Abyssal Beast. At the same time, it also regards protecting Lin Yi as the core task.
Nie Chang finally stood up and glanced at the faces of every comrade.
"Everyone, "Operation Dawn" is not only about the safety of Helu City, but also about whether we can prove to all survivors that humans have the ability to proactively fight back and even destroy the source of these disasters!"
"In this battle, we must win but not lose!"
Including Lin Yi, all the officers stood up and said in unison, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
