Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1772 1772: The Enemy's Fierce Assault

The enemy's sudden attack caused everyone to beco busy, especially the advisors, who quickly established contact with various units to understand the situation, direct troops, and dispatch orders. Various phone lines were bustling, while Luo Zheng calmly watched the sand table, silent as he simulated his sudden inspiration in his mind. Those around him who noticed Luo Zheng's expression understood that he was deep in thought and did not disturb him; Captain Li even signaled the busy advisors around to keep their voices down.

After a while, Luo Zheng suddenly lifted his head and noticed everyone was looking at him. Perplexed, he asked, "What's going on? Why are you all looking at like that?"

"Nothing, did you think of so plan?" Lan Xue, noticing everyone looking sheepish, quickly stepped in to diffuse the situation, curiously asking.

"Hmm, I have an idea, but it's not very mature yet," Luo Zheng said thoughtfully. "The imdiate urgency is to figure out the enemy's sche. A midnight raid surely has other intentions. All surrounding units must remain stationary, imdiately transmit the order that all units closely monitor enemy movents, and guard against enemy raids."

"Understood," Captain Li solemnly agreed, giving a signal to a communications advisor. The individual nodded in understanding and quickly went off to convey the orders.

"Inform the southern troops that even if they are fought down to the last, they must hold the line. Since the enemy wants to play big, we'll accompany them to the end. The enemy must not break through the defense line even by a step," Luo Zheng continued with a murderous determination, glancing at Hook. After all, it was Hook's troops; they needed his cooperation on how to fight.

Hook nodded resolutely, his face firm as he said, "Rest assured, you're the military advisor and overall commander. As I've said before, everyone under will obey your orders, and that still holds true. I'll imdiately convey the order to the frontline troops. Do you need anything else from ?"

"Not for now, just have your troops listen to my people's commands. The terrain of the defense area is treacherous and pushing through won't be easy. If commanded properly, three hundred n are sufficient to block the enemy's advance unless the enemy is willing to sacrifice numbers. Without a thousand n, they won't break through. Three hundred n traded for a thousand—how you make that choice is up to you," Luo Zheng said earnestly.

"I understand, sacrificing three hundred n is sowhat significant for us, but not unfeasible. The crucial elent is the follow-up plan," Hook contemplated, saying.

"Rest assured, I will absolutely ensure that these three hundred n do not die in vain, and if your n obey command, such a large sacrifice won't be necessary. Just hold out for three days. After three days, the enemy's sche will be exposed, and we can deploy our plan. Then it will be a matter of whose tactics are superior," Luo Zheng said coldly, his gaze full of battle fervor.

"Our plan?" Hook was montarily stunned but then quickly reacted with joy, eagerly asking, "If there's a follow-up plan, I'm sure the troops will understand. What is the plan?"

"It's here," Luo Zheng said, pointing at the enemy's military base with a stick, eyes fierce.

"Enemy base? Following the last raid, the enemy is extrely cautious. The area within a ten-kiloter radius is under strict surveillance, teeming with single soldier radar and patrols. We can't even approach," Captain Li contemplated, reminding everyone that attacking the enemy headquarters might be good, but there must be an opportunity.

"This won't be a problem. It will take our people three days to walk to the base. As long as we engage in three days of combat, enemy casualties will be substantial. Many wounded will need transport to the base. At that ti, we'll arrange a unit to pose as wounded and approach the enemy base. Once within the Red Banner Six missile launch range, the closer, the better—preferably at night for covertness," Luo Zheng said, eyes fierce.

"Pose as wounded?" Everyone started contemplating. The more they thought, the more feasible it seed, each lighting up as they looked at Luo Zheng. Captain Li excitedly rolled his hands and said, "I think it's possible, but we should act after the enemy's sche is revealed. If the main enemy forces are drawn to the front lines, then exploit the vulnerability and take the base."

"Take the base?" Everyone was surprised at Captain Li's ambition and laughed, looking toward Luo Zheng.

However, Luo Zheng shook his head, smiling, "Why take that place? We can't occupy it, but if possible, we could bring so captives back. There would certainly be many high-ranking officials worth a lot. Brother Hook is short on money now, so taking a ransom might not be a bad idea."

"Hahaha!" Understanding laughter broke out, easing the tense atmosphere of the impending battle, with confidence flooding their hearts. Hook, in particular, nodded with joy and said, "Indeed, I'm short on money now. With money, I can procure more food and supplies, improve everyone's living standards, and hire other forces to help with the fighting."

"Alright, we'll stick to this plan. Have the staff departnt co up with a detailed plan as soon as possible. This task should be entrusted to Shadow, Snow Fox, and Alcoholic's n; fifty will be enough," Luo Zheng decided firmly, setting the tone.

"Understood." Captain Li knew the importance and difficulty of this mission, requiring an elite force to complete. None here could surpass the capabilities of Shadow, Snow Fox, and Alcoholic's troops, except for Luo Zheng's n, so he promptly agreed, not forgetting to warn, "This matter is strictly confidential, no leaks." As he spoke, he glanced at Hook.

Hook nodded with understanding and said, "This matter from my side is only known to . No second person will know. Rest assured."

"Alright, let's get to work," Luo Zheng said thoughtfully, his eyes locked firmly on the sand table, which had never left his sight. In his mind, he continuously simulated the plan's feasibility. The base is the enemy's heart; no matter the enemy's sche, if the base is attacked, they will abandon their sche to return aid. Therefore, Luo Zheng didn't bother contemplating the enemy's tricks.

Everyone got busy, and after a while, Captain Li ran tensely up to Luo Zheng, whispering, "The frontline report ca in: the enemy is fiercely attacking, and the Stinger missiles have bombed us ten tis. The entire position has been blasted beyond recognition with many collapses, and significant personnel casualties."

"How many? What about our Red Banner Six?" Luo Zheng anxiously asked.

"Over thirty percent loss. Our Red Banner Six is still engaged with the enemy, but they have specifically assigned people to monitor, two against one. Both sides are outright missile battling. Our missile staff is insufficient for counterattacking. Should we deploy the Red Banner Six for support?" Captain Li promptly asked.

"The enemy is indeed using massive force, intending to break through our defense line directly." Luo Zheng pondered seriously and coldly instructed, "Concentrate the frontline Red Banner Six's use. It's too late to send reinforcents; notify the frontline to hold their ground. I'm going up."

"You're going up?" Captain Li asked in surprise, seeing Luo Zheng's determined nod, and didn't persuade further. With a solemn expression, he asked, "Be careful. Do you need anything from ?"
