Chapter 782 A Gift to the 9 State Legion
As five days passed, the expeditionary army's battle lines became tense and orderly. The western and southern armies, like two sharp knives, penetrated the enemy's defenses and firmly established themselves in the predetermined strategic positions, paving the way for the next general offensive.
In Chikushi Prefecture, Fukuoka, the atmosphere at the expeditionary army headquarters was solemn and serious. This was the command center of the entire campaign, and every order and every decision would directly affect the development of the war. At this time, the senior generals of the expeditionary army, headed by Su Zhengyang, sat upright.
Suddenly, a figure broke the silence in the room. A handsome young man wearing a black military coat strode into the meeting room.
He stood tall and straight, with steady steps, and every step he took revealed the dignity and confidence of a soldier. As he opened the curtain, everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on him.
"Commander-in-chief! Northwest Army Commander, Zheng Zeyu, report for duty!" His voice was loud and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination. After saying that, he saluted Su Zhengyang with a standard military salute.
Seeing this, Su Zhengyang smiled and nodded, then stood up, took a few steps forward, and shook hands tightly with Zheng Zeyu. He patted Zheng Zeyu on the shoulder, and his tone was full of praise: "You fought well and did not embarrass the Northwest Army!" This sentence was short and powerful, but it was the best affirmation of Zheng Zeyu and his troops' recent performance.
Seeing this, Liu Gangding at the side could not help but tease: "Old Zheng, since we are both here to fight, you have gained weight, and I am so thin that I am almost unrecognizable. It seems that the food in your Northwest Army is much better than ours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter broke out in the conference room and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Zheng Zeyu responded with a smile: "Chief of Staff Liu, you are joking. I am just wearing too thick clothes. Besides, we don't just rely on food to fight. We also can't forget the desperate efforts of our brothers!"
After some greetings, the meeting officially entered the topic. Su Zhengyang stood at one end of the conference table, his eyes swept over every general present, and slowly said: "Now Fukuoka is right in front of us. In Fukuoka City, there are seven divisions of the Kyushu Corps of the Japanese, with a total of 190,000 troops. If you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy, please share them with us."
Upon hearing this, Liu Gangding immediately stood up and said confidently: "Commander-in-chief, we now have an absolute advantage. The Japanese have withdrawn their forces and are now trapped. In my opinion, if the two armies launch a general attack at the same time and take advantage of our superior force, we will surely be able to kill them without a single piece of armor left!"
However, Deputy Commander Gu De'an seemed more cautious. He shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Although Chief of Staff Liu's words make sense, we have to consider the actual situation. Due to the complex terrain and difficult mountain roads, it is difficult for our armored forces to quickly reach the outer areas of Fukuoka. The enemy is holding on to Fukuoka in order to reduce its forces and fight a large-scale city defense battle with us. Their defenses are tight and there are almost no loopholes. If we rush in, I'm afraid we will pay a huge price."
Gudean's words made the atmosphere in the conference room tense again. The generals nodded in agreement. They knew that on the battlefield, any negligence could lead to disastrous consequences.
At this time, Su Zhengyang smiled gently, he stood up, walked to the center of the conference table, and looked at everyone with a firm gaze: "General Gudean is right. If we attack by force, it will play into the hands of the devils. But please rest assured, I have already prepared a big gift for these little devils!"
Su Zhengyang tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically and said, "The Japanese thought that they could cause trouble for us by gathering their forces and hiding in Fukuoka City, which is full of underground fortifications. Little did they know that their gathering in Fukuoka City just gave us an opportunity. Our Grandmaster Bomb is powerful enough to blow up a small city. I have asked the logistics troops to prepare twelve Grandmaster Bombs. Use these Grandmaster Bombs to turn the entire Fukuoka city into ruins!"
Zheng Zeyu frowned and said, "Commander-in-chief, I have also seen the defense map of the Fukuoka area. The air defense units in the city are extremely dense. It will probably not be easy for our air force to launch an air strike and drop large bombs while they are on high alert."
Su Zhengyang said confidently: "The Rocket Force has set up a launcher specifically for launching the Grandmaster of Bombs, which can accurately launch the Grandmaster of Bombs to any area within 72 kilometers! I want to send the Japanese to hell without them being able to see or touch us."
The commander of the 107th Long-Range Missile Division slowly stood up from his seat. His every movement revealed the calmness and confidence of a soldier.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, he slowly walked towards the display stand in front of the conference room, where was placed the special launch device model that they were proud of, as well as a scaled-down model of the "grandfather of bombs". Although it was small, it still made people feel the heavy shock.
"My dear colleagues," the division commander began his introduction in his powerful voice, "In the battle we are about to face, our 107th Long-Range Missile Division shoulders an unprecedented mission - to accurately drop the 'Grandfather of Bombs', a giant bomb weighing 13.6 tons, into the urban area of Fukuoka and deal a devastating blow to the enemy."
He gently patted the launcher next to the model and continued, "In order to achieve this goal, our scientific research team worked day and night to develop and finally successfully built this special launcher. It not only has ultra-long-range delivery capabilities, but also can maintain a high degree of stability and accuracy in complex battlefield environments."
The division commander introduced the key components of the launch device one by one: "First, it is this advanced guidance system, which uses the latest satellite navigation and inertial navigation technology to ensure that the missile can correct its course in real time during flight and accurately hit the target. Secondly, it is our specially made bomb body structure, which can withstand the huge impact force generated by the 'ancestor of bombs' during launch and flight, ensuring the integrity and destructive power of the bomb."
At this point, the division commander spoke with a hint of pride: "The most important thing is that we have also integrated an intelligent prediction system on the launch device. It can calculate the best angle and timing of delivery in advance based on meteorological conditions such as wind direction, wind speed, air pressure, and the topography of Fukuoka City, ensuring that the bomb can hit the target area with maximum power."
The commander's words made everyone present feel excited. They seemed to have seen the trajectory of the giant bomb passing over the city of Fukuoka, and the earth-shaking explosion that followed.
"We believe," the division commander concluded, "that with the joint efforts of all soldiers and the help of this special launch device, the 'Grandfather of Bombs' will become the sharpest sword in our hands, piercing the heart of the enemy and laying a solid foundation for the victory of this battle!"
As the commander finished his words, thunderous applause broke out in the conference room.
