One hundred and twenty-three - on the eve of the war
The next battle of attack and defense is the last battle required to take the island.
The enemy's base camp can be inferred to be the "Divine Crystal" mine located in the north of the Central Mountain Range, which happens to be not far from the camp of the Second Division from the map. Entering the mountain area from a nearby ramp, you will follow the natural mountain path to the east, and after going around half of the mountain, you will find a natural depression surrounded by steep rock walls on three sides, which is the entrance to the "Mythical Crystal" mine.
Just like what Zuo Youxin had agreed with the division commanders before, the combat strategy was very simple.
On the selected day and time, five divisions blocking each direction of the Central Range launched an attack on the Central Mountains. Xue Hongchen's Sixth Division and Yue Qingqing's Twelfth Division attacked the mountain range from the west, Kong Ciren's Fifth Division was to the south of the mountain range, Kenneth Albert was to the southeast of the mountain range, and Zuo Youxin's second division would take Ji Yuehua and other three supernumeraries with adjutant strength to attack Huanglong and launch an offensive straight towards the "Divine Crystal" mine with the shortest path.
The reason why such a strategy was set was because this was a war of annihilation, not an ordinary war of occupation.
Zuo Youxin had no intention of seeing this as a revenge battle for the defenders of the fortress who had been slaughtered more than a year ago, because he had long hated the "Calamity Beast" in his heart, and it was impossible for any military personnel to become stronger in this hatred. This time was no exception.
The "Calamity" is the greatest threat to the survival of mankind, and it is the other party who invades the living space of human beings first, and there is no guilt in killing the attacking enemy. In addition, their military headquarters needs to establish a base in this area, and if they cannot completely eradicate the "calamity" in this area, it will be very dangerous for the non-combat-capable staff to carry out construction and transportation work.
Both of the above, no matter which one of them, constitute the reason why Zuo Youxin is willing to kill the "Calamity Beast" completely. The only difference is that the former Nangong Longfei was intoxicated with revenge and blindly killed while carrying out tasks, while Zuo Youxin kept calm and calm at all times, and sent all the "Calamity Beasts" to hell without losing his rationality.
The "Mythical Crystal" is very important to both humans and "Calamity", especially for the "Calamity", long-term devouring of the energy of the "Mythical Crystal" and staying in a place where a large number of "Mythical Crystals" are hidden will increase their strength, and the possibility that the enemy's leader will not set up a base in the "Mythical Crystal" mine is not even 1 in 100.
In order to give the other divisions enough time to slaughter the "Calamity Beast", Zuo Youxin will personally lead the second division, which is the strongest in overall strength among the thirteen divisions of the military headquarters, to contain the enemy's main force.
Considering the rarity of S-Rank "Calamity", having three S-Rank "Calamity" on this island should already be the limit. With the "Grimace Spider" dead and another unknown "Calamity" not supposed to be too capable of fighting, there is a good chance that the remaining "Hades" will stay by its side as a guard. From this, it can be inferred that no matter how tricky the "Calamity Beast" guarding the mountain range is, it can only be the level of A-Rank, in other words, it is impossible to pose any threat to the military division commanders other than Yayi Yonglin.
Zuo Youxin restrained the main force of the "Calamity Beast" led by the "Hades", and then waited for the remaining four divisions to completely annihilate the enemy army and work together to bury the remaining main force of the "Calamity Beast".
In order to ensure that the state of each division was in perfect condition, Zuo Youxin waited for four days. Until the early morning of the fifth day, he addressed all the members of the 2nd Division at dawn.
"There is still an hour left before the time we have agreed with the rest of the divisions, after which we will attack the last 'Divine Crystal' mine on the island, and hold back the enemy's main force until the remaining four divisions have completely annihilated the enemy and come to join us. I'll put it in front of you, old man, it's going to be a tough battle. As you know, the "Hades", the culprit who slaughtered our First Watchtower Fortress on the East Coast more than a year ago, is also on this island. On the day we attacked the spider's nest, the old man wounded him so badly that he cut off one of his arms, but he accidentally let him escape. It is foreseeable that after we engage in hand-to-hand combat, the old man is very likely to be entangled by the "Hades", and the old man will not have any spare strength to command, or maintain the battle line. Then, to make matters worse, although the old man was sure that the mine must be the location of the enemy's base camp, he was not sure how many high-level "calamities" would be there. Yu has already discovered three S-Rank "Calamity" beasts, no matter what the situation is, it is definitely possible. ”
Speaking of this, Zuo Youxin paused for a moment, giving everyone in front of him a little space to receive information, and then slowly said, "You are all the elite of the 13th Division of the Military Department, and the old man believes that you will never be cowardly." But the old man remembers the data of all the members of the military department, and he generally knows the reason why most of you joined the army. Here, some people are approaching retirement age, and some people are because of family reasons to participate in the assessment of the 13th Division of the Military Department. In the worst-case scenario, both the old man and Loret are likely to be unable to move and have no time to command, and at that time, you will have to rely on your own skills to support the arrival of reinforcements. If you don't want to participate in this operation, just ask for it, and the old man will put you in a defensive position, and promise that you will never settle the score. I'm done talking, old man, if there's anything you want to say, now is the perfect time!"
After speaking, Zuo Youxin silently closed his mouth, his eyes swept to the subordinates in front of him, waiting for the people of the second division to speak.
Zuo Youxin's status can be said to be below one person in today's military department, and to a certain extent, it can even be said that he is the commander-in-chief of the military department. At the same time, as one of the two major myths of today's military department, his prestige is well known.
As long as it is what Zuo Youxin said, it must have enough weight, and it is impossible to regret it. In addition, life is only a hundred years in the world, decades in the army, many years of dedication, there is not much life left, if you are close to retirement before you die, it will be a bit bleak. As for the family, it is a factor that almost all living human beings cannot ignore.
Zuo Youxin's speech can be said to be reasonable, fully embodying the existence of humanity before the iron mask is selfless.
