Chapter 842 Battle Plan
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengyang showed a rare smile on his face. His eyes stayed on the telegram for a moment, and then he looked out the window, as if he had penetrated the heavy clouds and fog and saw a wider battlefield and a more distant future.
"Good! General Liu and his troops did a great job!" Su Zhengyang praised in a low voice, then stood up and paced around the office for a few steps, obviously thinking about the next plan of action.
"Pass the order down," he turned around and instructed the messenger, "Inform the whole army of this good news immediately, let the soldiers know that their efforts have not been in vain, and Fuso's defense line is gradually collapsing in front of us. At the same time, notify the staff to immediately prepare the follow-up combat plan. We must take advantage of this momentum and continue to launch the offensive to lay a solid foundation for the final victory."
Upon hearing this, the messenger straightened his back and answered loudly: "Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" Then he turned and left, carrying Su Zhengyang's order and the expectations of the entire army, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Fuso Honshu Island, as the largest island in the Fuso Archipelago, is not only the country's political, economic and cultural center, but also the seventh largest island in the world, with a total area of approximately 227,960 square kilometers. Its vast land carries rich natural resources and profound historical heritage.
In terms of population, Honshu Island gathers the vast majority of Fuso's population and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. According to statistics, there are more than 100 million people living on the island, accounting for the vast majority of the country's total population. The population density is extremely high, especially in the areas around major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka Prefecture, and Nagoya City.
Topographically, Honshu Island has a variety of landforms, spanning multiple climate zones from north to south, with different natural scenery. The northern region is mountainous, with the famous Japanese Alps, which are full of mountains and majestic peaks.
The central part gradually transitions to hills and plains, such as the Kanto Plain, which has fertile land and abundant water resources. It is an important agricultural production area in Fuso, as well as an economically developed and densely populated area.
The southern part is close to the Pacific Ocean, with a tortuous coastline and numerous islands, forming many natural harbors and excellent fishing grounds. The rich fishery resources are crucial to Fuso's economic development.
In addition, Honshu Island also has many volcanoes and hot springs. Mount Fuji is one of its most famous symbols. It is not only a sacred mountain in the hearts of the Japanese people, but also a world-famous natural wonder.
If Honshu Island unfortunately falls, this incident will have a profound and immeasurable impact on the entire Fuso country.
First, from a political perspective, Honshu Island, as the political center of Fuso, gathers important political facilities such as the core government agencies and the Diet. Its fall means the paralysis of government functions, the national power structure will suffer a serious impact, and may even trigger political turmoil and regime change.
At the same time, the implementation of the country's foreign policy will be greatly hindered, and its international status and influence will decline significantly.
Economically, Honshu Island is the economic lifeline of Fuso, gathering most of the country's industrial, financial and commercial activities.
Its fall will lead to stagnation of economic activities, breakdown of industrial chains, and collapse of the financial system, dealing a devastating blow to Fuso's economic development.
Business closures, soaring unemployment rates, and economic recession will become inevitable consequences, seriously affecting people's living standards and social stability.
Culturally, Honshu carries the rich historical and cultural heritage and national spirit of Fuso. Its fall will be a major blow to Fuso culture, many historical sites and cultural relics will face the risk of destruction, and the national spirit and national identity will also be seriously weakened.
In the operations meeting room, the lighting was soft and bright, the walls were covered with detailed combat maps and strategic analysis charts, and the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.
Su Zhengyang sat at the head of the long table, his eyes sharp as a torch, examining each of the generals present. Gudean, Stein, Liu Gangding and others were on both sides, each with a focused look, ready to go.
Su Zhengyang coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room: "Everyone, the current war situation is urgent. As the core of Fuso, Honshu Island is of great importance. Our goal is to incorporate it into our territory with a thunderous force. Now, please speak freely and talk about your own combat ideas."
Liu Gangding spoke first: "I think we can start from the Fukuoka area, use our maritime advantage, cross the strait, and directly carry out landing operations at the Ube Port in the Yamaguchi area. Once we gain a foothold, we can rely on the terrain, gradually advance eastward, and gradually erode Fuso's defense line." He paused,
"At the same time, the troops led by Generals Liu Chengxu and Chen Tong can start from Shikoku Island, use the Waka region as a breakthrough point, launch an offensive, and go straight to Kyoto. This will be a sharp sword that pierces the heart of Honshu Island, forcing the enemy to lose sight of the other side."
Stein took over the conversation. He had a unique insight into tactics. "General Liu's strategy is quite bold, but I also have a supplementary suggestion. Considering that the Fuso Navy has suffered heavy losses in the battle with our Chinese Navy, our maritime operations will be smoother. We can send General Zheng Zeyu's troops from the Tsushima Strait, advance eastward, and land at Izumo Port in the Shimane area. In this way, we can threaten the Hiroshima area from the south and form a pincer attack with General Liu's troops. Three arrows fired at the same time will determine the outcome."
Gu Dean interrupted at this time, holding a thick stack of intelligence materials in his hand, with a serious expression: "However, we need to be vigilant. Fuso is not without defense. According to the latest news from our intelligence department, they have deployed 700,000 army troops on Honshu Island. Some of them are heavily guarding Hiroshima and Yamaguchi areas, and the other part is stationed in Nara area in the south. It is obvious that they intend to stop our offensive. Therefore, when we formulate the battle plan, we must fully consider this point, so that we know ourselves and the enemy, and we can fight a hundred battles without danger."
As Gudean spoke, the meeting room fell into deep thought again. Su Zhengyang looked around and saw that every general was deep in thought. He nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone's analysis is very accurate. Next, we need to integrate these ideas and formulate a practical combat plan."
Stein, Liu Kangding, Gudean and several staff members sat around the long table in the middle of the combat conference room. In front of each of them was a detailed combat map with various tactical symbols and predicted routes marked on it.
After a long period of discussion and analysis, they finally carefully planned four different combat opportunities based on the current battle situation and prepared to report them to the commander-in-chief Su Zhengyang.
