Chapter 888 Ghost Town Toyota
Stein stood in front of the tall tactical sand table in the spacious and bright command center. He put his hands behind his back and stared deeply at the tiny model representing Toyota County on the sand table. Outside the window, the sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled on his shoulders, but it seemed unable to warm his cold heart at the moment.
"Why would the enemy go to such great lengths to destroy the road?" Stein muttered to himself, frowning, as if he were having a heated debate with himself. "They knew that our long-range firepower was enough to penetrate all obstacles and hit the vital points. This action cannot be explained by a simple delaying tactic."
His thoughts were racing, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, and ultimately all pointed to an astonishing conclusion: "The enemy is playing a big game, and they have deeper strategic purposes." Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Stein's eyes.
"Pass my order!" He turned around suddenly and spoke in a loud voice, "Tell Commander He of the 711th Missile Division to prepare immediately and launch three V2 rockets towards Toyota County. This is not a simple attack, but a test to test the enemy's reaction and see what they are up to."
"Yes, sir!" A staff officer responded, quickly wrote down the order, and turned around to convey it.
Immediately afterwards, Stein issued a second order: "At the same time, notify the Air Force to immediately dispatch all available reconnaissance aircraft to conduct a large-scale search of Toyota County and surrounding areas. I want to know where the main force of the enemy is hiding and what their real intentions are."
"Yes, sir! We will execute it immediately." Another staff officer also acted quickly and began to coordinate the actions of the air force.
The atmosphere in the headquarters became tense and orderly. Everyone knew that behind this series of orders was Stein's deep insight into the enemy's intentions and his accurate grasp of the direction of the battle.
As the order was conveyed and executed, an invisible contest quietly unfolded over Toyota County. V2 rockets streaked across the sky, heading straight for the target with a piercing whistle, while air force reconnaissance planes soared like falcons, searching for any traces of the enemy with their sharp eyes.
As three V2 rockets streaked across the sky, carrying destructive force, they landed precisely in the core area of Toyota Prefecture. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and the huge explosions were deafening, as if even the sky was torn apart. Thick smoke billowed up, covering half of the sky, and shrouding Toyota Prefecture in chaos.
In the sea of fire, large areas of residential buildings were blown to pieces, and flames spread wildly among the ruins, devouring everything. The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and strong gunpowder, which was suffocating. However, under such violent explosions and raging fires, Toyota County seemed to have fallen into a strange silence. There were no human voices, car sounds, or even animal calls. Everything seemed so unreal.
In the air, the captain of the reconnaissance team, Wang Guang, was flying a reconnaissance plane, personally leading the team, hovering over Toyota County. They stared at the scene below, their hearts filled with confusion and shock.
Wang Guang held the intercom close to his ear, and his steady voice echoed in the cabin: "Command post, this is Wang Guang, the captain of the reconnaissance team. Three V2 rockets have successfully caused serious damage to the core area of Toyota County. But what is puzzling is that we did not find any enemy forces. The whole city seems to have become an empty city, without any signs of life, not even a distress signal or combat response."
"Received, Captain Wang Guang. Please continue to monitor closely and try to further confirm the situation." The voice of the command center came through the radio waves, sounding equally serious and tense.
Wang Guang nodded and looked down more sharply.
He ordered the reconnaissance team to disperse and conduct a more detailed reconnaissance of Toyota County from all angles. The reconnaissance planes either flew low over the ruins or hung high in the air, using various advanced detection equipment to capture any possible information.
However, as time went by, they still found no trace of the enemy. Whether it was hidden fortifications, lurking soldiers, or any form of resistance activities, they all seemed to have disappeared from this world.
Toyota County is like an abandoned ghost town, so quiet that it is chilling.
"Captain, this is too abnormal." A scout's voice sounded in Wang Guang's headset, with a hint of uneasiness, "How could the enemy give up this important city so easily? Do they have a bigger conspiracy?"
Wang Guang was silent for a moment, looking deeply at the sea of fire and ruins below. This mission was much more complicated than he had imagined.
"Continue the reconnaissance and don't miss any clues." Wang Guang gave the order, "At the same time, report the situation here to the headquarters immediately. We need more support and intelligence to analyze this situation."
As the sun gradually set, the clouds in the sky were tinged with a faint golden glow. Wang Guang drove a reconnaissance plane and led the team to conduct an in-depth investigation in Toyota County and surrounding areas for two hours.
For a period of time, their flight tracks covered almost every corner of the county, from bustling streets to remote suburbs, from densely populated residential areas to abandoned factories, without missing a single one.
Wang Guang stared at the radar images and infrared scan results on the onboard display screen, and every slight fluctuation made him concentrate. However, despite such a detailed search, they still failed to find any trace of the enemy.
Those once bustling streets were now deserted, and even the slightest signs of life seemed to have been completely wiped out.
"Command post, this is Wang Guang, the leader of the reconnaissance team." Wang Guang finally made up his mind and picked up the intercom, his voice full of fatigue and confusion. "After two hours of investigation, we have searched almost the entire Toyota County and surrounding areas, including some small villages and settlements. Unfortunately, we did not find any enemy forces. The entire area seemed to have been completely cleared, with no signs of any life activity."
"Received, Captain Wang Guang." The command center's voice came from the intercom, sounding equally heavy. "Your work is excellent, and thank you for the valuable information you provided. In view of the current situation, I order you to return immediately. We will further analyze the data and consider the next action plan."
Wang Guang nodded. Although he was unwilling, he also knew that returning home was the wisest choice. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then gave the team members the order to return home.
"Everyone, please pay attention. We have completed the mission and are returning now." Wang Guang's voice rang out in the cabin, with a hint of subtle heaviness. "Thank you for your efforts. We will give you a detailed report after we return."
