Two hours after An Qiqi left, Su Tianyu walked into the combat command room with a stack of materials about as thick as a book in his hand, ready to hold a military meeting.
There were already more than twenty direct generals of the coalition forces gathered in the room, including Zhao Weihu, Wang Dingyuan, Fei Pingsheng, as well as Santos from the Mexican side, his chief of staff and others.
Seeing Su Tianyu coming in, everyone raised their heads and looked at him.
Su Tianyu's eyes fell on the empty main seat. He was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the seat and turned to ask Zhao Weihu beside him: "What does this mean? Brother Hu!"
Zhao Weihu said in a teasing tone: "You are the one who convened the combat meeting, so the main seat must be reserved for you. Take a seat!"
Su Tianyu smiled and said, "You guys are too polite. How can I be embarrassed to say that?"
While saying this, he sat down obediently.
Zhao Weihu raised his arms and clapped, calling out to everyone, "Come on, Commander-in-Chief Su is welcome to assign us combat missions."
“Pah, pah, pah!”
There was applause in the room, including from Santos, who also smiled and clapped his hands.
Ever since Su Tianyu came back, Zhao Weihu has praised him many times in public in order to establish him as the core commander. Everyone saw this and tacitly agreed to this.
Zhao Weihu knew very well that no matter whether it was the Chinese area, the old Mexicans, the An faction, the garrison, or the plate of Bana City, only Su Tianyu could play with it. Therefore, the first commander of the coalition forces must be him.
Su Tianyu naturally knew what Zhao Weihu was thinking. The two brothers still had some tacit understanding. So, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, we are old acquaintances. There is no need to be so polite. Let's get started!"
The applause stopped, Su Tianyu distributed the information in his hand, and then connected the computer to the projector.
After everything was ready, he sat back in his chair, put his hands on his chest and said, "Recently, I have been thinking about the layout decisions in the Old Mexico area. Finally, I came up with a very risky and almost desperate plan to have the final battle with Bahiacho in advance."
When everyone heard the words "final battle", they were slightly startled.
Su Tianyu glanced at everyone and continued, "More and more places in Longcheng have been lost. The heavy industry and material supplies that we rely on for survival have all been cut off. This is a fact we must face. The Laomo area has also suffered from the war and its production capacity is very weak. We are barely relying on the supply line of Bana City at the same time. However, a small Bana City is not enough to support two large battlefields. If it drags on like this, we will definitely die! So, my idea is that instead of doing this, it is better to fight a final battle with them directly!"
Santos thought for a moment and said, "Commander Su, what you said makes sense, but it is very difficult for us to break out of Hualei Town. Similarly, Longcheng is also in danger. In this passive situation, what can we do to trigger the decisive battle?"
Su Tianyu pointed to the plan on the table and said, "It's all in my plan. Everyone, take a look and I'll continue."
Everyone quieted down and spent about ten minutes reading Su Tianyu's plan. They couldn't help but show shocked expressions.
Just as he said, this plan is full of absolute benefits, but also full of absolute risks. It is almost like betting on Lao Mo and Longcheng to fight a decisive battle with the enemy!
"Everyone has finished reading, let me explain." Su Tianyu looked at everyone's expressions, took out an infrared pen, pointed at the map on the screen, and said slowly: "I have been analyzing the problem of the Red Hat Army's supply line recently... Their capital city is Desola, which is here. The Red Hat Army's offensive line, from Desola to Hualei Town, is more than 1,200 kilometers in total. With such a long supply line, they rely on the support of the first district for their sea and air, as well as the natural defense barrier near Hualei Town. So, my plan is to cut off their sea and air forces first, reduce their support capabilities, and then encircle and suppress their 1,200-kilometer supply line."
Zhao Weihu thought for a moment: "Infiltration and sneak attack?"
"No, this is a strategic encirclement, with multiple troops interspersed to encircle and suppress. Our vanguard troops are expected to arrive at a place where there are no enemy troops." Su Tianyu explained softly.
Hearing this, Santos' chief of staff immediately asked: "I'm sorry, Commander Su, I can't imagine how to cut off their supply lines."
Su Tianyu continued, "This is what I want to talk about next. The naval fleet and air force base of Area 1 are set up between Lao Mo and Longcheng to support the two major battlefields at the same time. This method has great advantages, but it also gives us room for maneuver... So, what we have to do is to cooperate with Longcheng!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Su Tianyu pointed at the map and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Cutting off their naval and air forces is only the first step. How do we fight them out? The second step! How do we encircle them? How do we infiltrate them with more troops? It's all in the Ghost Gate Plan I showed you just now!"
Everyone at the scene had serious expressions on their faces, because they had just read the plan and knew how dangerous it was.
A general from the Old Mexico region frowned and could not help but say, "Commander Su, I have seen your plan for the Gate of Hell. I think it is impossible to rely solely on manpower and feet to transport supplies and ensure combat capability! The planned location is full of swamps and dense forests! Once there is any disturbance, we have no air control and cannot provide any support! Under such difficult conditions, I can't imagine how they can walk such a long distance on foot!"
Su Tianyu said with a firm look, "Yes, this is difficult, I know it very well. Because when I was making this plan, I consulted a lot of information, and my understanding of the surrounding terrain is no worse than yours. However, precisely because it is difficult, it is possible to capture that glimmer of opportunity and revitalize the entire situation! In fact, there are many similar battles in the history of our nation. Including the struggle between the North and South regimes in East Asia more than 150 years ago, and the unification of the Chinese region, there were such battles. I think that since the martyrs can accomplish it, we can do it too!"
After hearing this, everyone stopped arguing and fell silent.
Su Tianyu glanced at everyone and said in a low voice: "I need someone to get through this gate of hell."
Zhao Weihu thought for a moment and was about to speak. But at this moment, Fei Pingsheng raised his hand and spoke first: "I'll go, I'll lead the team."
Wang Dingyuan couldn't help but said, "I'll go. This kind of interspersed operation is more suitable for our mercenary group."
Fei Pingsheng smiled and said, "How can we let you go? You are a foreign general who has come all the way to help us fight. You have done enough. At the same time, you are a guest. It is unreasonable to let you go on such a mission. Moreover, if something happens to you, we will not be able to explain to the Chinese District. Commander Zhao has to stay with the Renmin Army and lead the entire army to deal with the front battlefield. He cannot leave. Our best choice is to let me go."
When Su Tianyu heard this, he was very grateful to Fei Pingsheng for taking over his plan.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that over the years, Lao Fei has gone from being an old Lei Zi who is slick on the outside but full of ideals on the inside to where he is today, and he has also shouldered more responsibilities little by little.
After thinking about it carefully, Fei Pingsheng was indeed the most suitable person for this task. Not only was he quick-witted and steady, but he had also accumulated enough combat capabilities and similar experience in the army over the years.
Thinking of this, Su Tianyu looked at Fei Pingsheng and couldn't help but say: "Brother Fei..."
Fei Pingsheng seemed to know what he was going to say, and he waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Don't say those mushy words in these occasions, just get to the point!"
Su Tianyu looked at him deeply, swallowed all the extra words, and said, "Who do you want, and what weapons and equipment do you want? Just tell me, you can choose whatever you want!"
Fei Pingsheng fell into deep thought, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Hey! By the way, give me the newly promoted Xing Yao, I want him!"
Su Tianyu nodded and said, "No problem!"
…
An hour and a half later, everyone perfected the Ghost Gate Plan.
When leaving, Su Tianyu took a few quick steps, stepped forward and put his arm around Fei Pingsheng's shoulders, and promised him solemnly: "No matter what the cost, I will make sure that the troops break through the defense line and join you! When the time comes, let's have a drink!"
Fei Pingsheng turned his head and looked at him, then said with a smile: "I'll tell you too, before I die, as long as you tell me, I will definitely wait for you!"
"It's a deal!" Su Tianyu nodded heavily: "Before this is done, no one should die first!"
…
An hour later, Xing Yao, who had just been promoted, received a transfer order from above.
He sat in the tent, cursing, "Fuck, I was just promoted to brigade commander, and now I'm asked to carry out a secret mission... Damn it, why am I so uneasy?"
