Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1630 1630: Discussing the Plan

The rescue plan was gradually forming and being perfected in Luo Zheng's mind. However, Lan Xue was getting a bit anxious. If it weren't for the concern of disrupting Luo Zheng's thoughts, she would have inquired long ago. After a while, seeing Luo Zheng's face relaxed, she asked excitedly, "Have you thought of a plan? Tell about it."

Luo Zheng didn't answer imdiately but pointed at the door. Lan Xue understood, nodded, and tiptoed to the door. She suddenly opened it; it was quiet outside, with no one around. Unconvinced, Lan Xue peeked further, ensuring the corridor outside was empty too. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, closed the door securely, and nodded to Luo Zheng, saying, "No one."

"That's good. It's a serious matter, so we must be careful," Luo Zheng said in a low voice, gesturing for Lan Xue to sit on the sofa. He also sat down with paper and pen, drew a line on a white piece of paper, sketched two small circles at both ends, and then spoke in a voice only audible to Lan Xue, "One end is the junction, the other is the castle. A special train can reach the castle through the track in five minutes. That ans we only have five minutes."

"This ti is simply not enough to complete the rescue. Blowing up the railway could delay so ti, but still, we can't cut through the carriage to rescue the people," Lan Xue nodded in agreent.

"We don't need to blow up the railway. Currently, there are three problems: first is delaying ti, second is attacking the special train, third is rescuing your father, and fourth is retreating," Luo Zheng said earnestly.

"True, any mistake in any step could lead to big trouble," Lan Xue agreed.

"There are two ways to delay ti: first, blow up the bridge across the river. To co from the neighboring city, they must pass this bridge. Once the bridge is destroyed, ground troops won't be able to reach us. As for ard helicopters, we just need to arrange for soone to snipe from the rooftop of this hotel to take out the helicopter. Is this task okay for you?"

"No problem," Lan Xue agreed readily. To save her father, she would not hesitate even to charge up with explosive packs, let alone sniping.

"The number of incoming helicopters is uncertain, but judging by the direction they're coming from, their flight path will definitely pass near the hotel. You'll have two opportunities to take action. Pick a sniper expert to be your observer for support. To ensure safety, two teams of snipers must ambush here. If exposed, imdiately retreat into the hotel. They definitely won't dare to shoot into the hotel. Find a way to withdraw to the rally point afterward. We'll talk about the rally point later. Is there any problem?" Luo Zheng earnestly instructed.

Lan Xue thought for a mont, shook her head, and Luo Zheng continued, "With air support and ground troops out of the picture, we only have the castle's last line of support left. We won't blow up the railway. As the special train moves forward, the castle won't be able to send out a train for support. Since it's a single track, a collision would occur if they co out. Just blow up the bridge successfully, and your snipers take down the ard helicopters, then we can buy more than five extra minutes. Do you agree with my reasoning?"

"Yes, but if we don't blow up the special train, it'll take only five minutes to rush into the fortress. How do we rescue anyone then?" Lan Xue asked worriedly.

"Since overturning the special train can't rescue people either, why should we blow it up? The problem of delaying ti is roughly solved in this way. Let's move on to attacking the special train. There are sixty people outside, and about three hundred inside. These numbers are just estimates and might not be accurate. We could estimate higher, but it shouldn't exceed five hundred people because the special train can't hold that many," Luo Zheng continued to analyze.

"Right, you just ntioned helicopters. Do you intend to use helicopters to attack the people outside? But if the people inside don't co out, even if we take out the ones outside, the special train will still rush into the castle in five minutes. How do we fight then?" Lan Xue reminded gravely.

"Right, so we attack three minutes in advance. Two helicopters will start attacking before the special train turns. Within three minutes, we can eliminate the people outside, and at this ti the special train will not divert directly to the next high-speed rail station. It should redirect straight into the castle. Attacking too early will complicate things," Luo Zheng stated earnestly.

Lan Xue nodded in agreent, stopped asking, and listened intently.

Luo Zheng continued: "Within three minutes, we conquer the soldiers guarding outside, and as the special train enters the bend, the people inside have two choices: one, upon seeing only two helicopters, they will co out to assist. These people will climb on the special train to counterattack; the other choice is to stay inside the carriage without moving."

"Right, that's the logic. If they co out, the helicopters can continue attacking. If they don't, the helicopters beco useless. What's your real intention in attacking the outside guards?" Lan Xue agreed.

"From the bend to the castle takes five minutes, from the high-voltage line tower takes three minutes, and from the tower to the castle takes two minutes. If within three minutes the people inside don't co out, it indicates they won't. When the special train passes the tower, our people will rush onto the train and throw as many tir button bombs as possible onto it," Luo Zheng said fiercely, a grim expression on his face.

"What are you planning? Won't this kill my father?" Lan Xue asked, startled, looking at Luo Zheng.

"No, there are a total of six carriages in the special train. I've calculated. After entering the castle, the train will definitely make an ergency brake. The strong inertia will be enough to fling the button bombs off the train. Rember, the button bombs are not attached to the train. At that ti, they will fly off like tossed grenades, followed by explosions," Luo Zheng said, breaking into a cold smile, as a strong will to fight emanated from him.

"Hiss?" Even Lan Xue, who was incredibly bold, was startled by Luo Zheng's plan. After a mont of contemplation, her worried face turned fervent as she said, "This is a good plan. Even a small-caliber cannon can't blow up the special train, and button bombs aren't as powerful as small-caliber shells. Even an explosion on the train shouldn't be a problem. I did overlook this. When the special train enters the castle, many people will surely gather around to check the situation. When the button bombs fly around, those around won't escape unscathed. Are you planning to take down the entire castle?" As she spoke, Lan Xue's eyes lit up with excitent, her gaze at Luo Zheng full of exhilarated smiles.

"These bastards are too despicable; they must be taught a profound lesson," Luo Zheng admitted openly.

"Yes, let's teach them a good lesson." Lan Xue was also a soldier and naturally would not sympathize with the enemy during battle, especially when avenging her father. She said excitedly, "Let's do it this way. We'll blow up the castle, rush in, and clear the stragglers, then we will have more ti to open the train carriages, and the way to rescue my dad can be decided based on the situation then. Maybe there's an oxygen cutting machine in the castle. Now tell your fourth point, how do we retreat?"
