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 pointer at the prominently marked Purple-Black Vortex symbol in the center of the map.
"Everyone, since everyone is here, let's get started. This is the core goal of our operation - No. 3 Abyss Beast Nest, codenamed 'Nightmare Pupil'."
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 Major Lin Yi and our previous reconnaissance, the core mission of Operation 'Breaking Dawn' is to withstand the crazy counterattack of all the Abyssal beasts summoned from the nest within an hour of Major Lin neutralizing the source energy to 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 staff immediately stood up and took the laser pointer:
"In terms of enemy situation: The investigators use Portable Source Energy Detector for reconnaissance. Within 2 kilometers around Nest, the number of conventional Abyss 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 Major Lin's intelligence, all Abyss Beast within its territory will return frantically for reinforcements."
"At the same time, we need to be wary of reinforcements from other Nests near Nest No. 3. According to our estimate of the speed of Abyss Beast, the main reinforcements that may arrive within an hour are Micro Nest No. 1, 2, and 4, and Small Nest No. 1. The total number is expected to exceed 50,000.
"But the good news is that many of the elite Abyss Beast have been eliminated by Major Lin, and no new Leader Rank Abyss 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: 4th 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: Major Lin Yi, responsible for the neutralization of Source Energy."
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 Dawn Operation, 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 dispatchable ammunition and fuel reserves, it makes little sense to invest more troops."
"Well, our weapons can still cause damage to Micro Nest Abyss Beast, Small Nest and most of Abyss Beast. All the forces participating in the battle this time have been allocated sufficient ammunition, and they can build a strong defense line 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 Nest, 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, the staff has initially drafted the 'Three-Layer Guillotine' defense system. Please review and add to it."
The laser pointer lights up the map again:
"The first layer, 'Roaming Guillotine', is the peripheral mobile hunting and lag layer."
"The Special Operations Teams 1 and 2 are in charge, equipped with high-mobility vehicles and communication equipment. Mission: Before the neutralization begins, clear the peripheral debris as much as possible Abyss Beast. After the 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 Abyss Beast, and guide artillery and aviation firepower in real time to weaken and delay the incoming beast tide in the first round. The Wuhan-directed 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 Nest as the center and relying on the surrounding solid buildings, a ring-shaped fortification 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 Abyss 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 the areas where the beasts are densely populated."
"Some armored vehicles serve as mobile reserves to fill gaps in the defense line or support areas with the greatest pressure at any time."
"The third layer, the last barrier and core security layer of 'Absolute Guillotine'."
"Composed of the Special Operations Team 3, battalion security platoon, they are responsible for the innermost circle, that is, the final defense within a 50-meter radius of Major Lin's neutralization location. 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 Abyss Beast can break through to Major Lin, at all costs if necessary!"
Nie Chang glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.
"Each layer is maintained in contact through a combination of wired and wireless communications. Once the pressure on a certain layer is too high or a gap appears, help is requested immediately, and the reserve team and adjacent positions work together 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 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 positions." Nie Chang responded immediately.
Another officer pointed to several narrow lanes on the map. "These places are inaccessible to tanks and combat vehicles and can easily become penetration points. Remote-controlled explosives and traps need to be buried and concealed fire points 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 Abyss 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, 'Dawn Operation' 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, "Make sure to complete the mission!"
