Although the plan of action has been decided, the details of it must be perfected by the General Staff.

The premise of the success of the plan is that the artillery and bombing can hit the morale of the other side to the greatest extent, and once the morale collapses, no matter how many people there are, they are just a larger number of sheep.

So the first thing the General Staff had to do was to liquidate the logistics and supplies.

The second is the transportation of people, materials, and hot air balloons.

These are all easy to do, but the difficult thing is how to fly the hot air balloon smoothly over Sun Moon City and how to evacuate safely after the mission.

This requires the staff to accurately grasp the weather conditions in the vicinity of Sun Moon City at different times, including wind speed, wind direction, cloudy and sunny weather, etc.

The third is to plan the offensive and evacuation routes of the special combat forces, the response routes of the navy, when to shell, when to stop, and when to shell designated positions.

This is a technical job, and sometimes even Wang Xuan can't figure out his thoughts.

However, the general staff can have a large number of people and pool their wisdom; second, they have received professional military education and have been tested in actual combat.

Therefore, throughout mid-June, the General Staff was in a state of intense readiness for war, and all wartime state holidays were cancelled.

After Wang Xuan calmed down, he asked the staff a bloody question about how big the auspicious loss would be this time.

There is no fixed answer to this question, and even later high-tech simulations are not necessarily accurate.

Everyone in the General Staff knew His Majesty's thoughts, and knew that they were afraid of making too many sacrifices, and they had to assess the feasibility of the operation, or make some changes to the plan of action.

Judging the loss was one of the tasks of the General Staff, so the report was presented to Wang Xuan's desk the next day.

The report did not issue a specific casualty situation, but only analyzed the time, place, and personnel of the enemy and our troops participating in the battle, morale, weaponry, and command capabilities, and the casualties ranged from 500 to 2,000.

In other words, as long as the mission is carried out, regardless of the outcome, Ji Xiang will lose at least 500 people.

According to the report, manpower losses are more likely to occur during the landing and evacuation phases.

Wang Xuan knew that no matter how heavy the artillery bombardment and bombardment, it would be impossible to remove all the enemy's fortifications and command system; when evacuating, there were always some awakened enemy troops who surrounded and intercepted him.

The speculation of the General Staff is more or less reliable.

What is the loss of five hundred?

Not much.

But is it less for auspiciousness?

Not a lot.

There are only three wars in the history of auspicious wars with more than 500 casualties, the first is the second time that Chiyan attacked Jixiang City and launched a large-scale siege of the city, the second was the Dongshan Pass was attacked for several days without interruption, and the third was the thousands of casualties caused by the battle to defend the lake embankment.

In these three wars, the casualties of Jixiang are getting higher and higher each time, and Wang Xuan does not want this to be the fourth.

This is still a conservative estimate, if there is a mistake in the connection during the period, or the wind direction and weather forecast are not accurate, it is impossible to say that 2,000 people will not be able to stop.

His middle finger bent and tapped on the tabletop, and his mind had been at war for a long time.

Then, as if he had made some kind of determination, he said, "Let Junior Colonel Qin come down." ”

Not long after, Colonel Qin came in with a long wooden box on his back, and just as he was about to salute, he heard Wang Xuan say: "Sit down first, I have something to tell you." ”

Colonel Qin obediently sat on the stool beside him, his upper body was straight, and the wooden box behind him was also straight.

Wang Xuan nodded secretly after seeing it.

Colonel Qin's real name is Colonel Qin, and his military rank is also Colonel or Major, which will cause misunderstandings from time to time.

He is a member of the internal guard, and the elders of the family used to be a crossbowman in the previous dynasty, and after arriving in auspiciousness, he stopped shooting people and animals, and his archery skills were superb.

Qin Xiaoxiao has a true heritage, archery is the best among the internal guards, and he is the best in every evaluation, so Wang Xuan chose him as the first gunner.

This Qin Xiaoxiao is also a gun idiot, after seeing the power of the musket, he resolutely chose the new profession of gunner, and gave up the archery skills that he had practiced for more than ten years.

Because of his love for guns, that wooden box almost never leaves his body.

This new gun was the one that Wang Xuan had test-fired at the shooting range, and after being recalibrated and maintained by the musket team, it was taken to the Southern Continent and handed over to Colonel Qin.

Out of the sensitive sense of smell of the hunter's profession, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly mastered the skills of using firearms and maintaining them under the guidance of Wang Xuan.

After dozens of continuous shooting training, his ultra-long range and powerful destructive power fascinated the colonel, and he abandoned the arrow from the gun.

Talent is very subtle, and Wang Xuan can't be sure.

Colonel Qin hit the eighth ring for the first time he tried the gun, and the rest were all within the ninth ring, which made Wang Xuan disappointed and very happy.

So this gun was kept and used by the school, and no one could change this status quo without Wang Xuan's order, which was also one of the reasons why Yang Tao was envious.

"What's the matter, has your understanding of guns deepened a little during this time?" asked Wang Xuan after handing Xiao Xiao a fruit.

Colonel Qin took the fruit with some restraint, saluted and said: "I practiced ten bullets every day, tested the hit rate at different distances, different wind speeds and directions, and different weather, and summed up some experience in using guns, please take a look at it." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Xiao took out a book from his backpack that had already been rolled up in the margins and presented it.

Seeing this, Wang Xuan knew that it was because the school often read and revised it, and he became more and more satisfied.

After taking the book, Wang Xuan said: "You have a heart, the kingdom needs a high-tech talent like you who is willing to calm down and study." ”

This is quite a high evaluation, but it makes the little school's face flush with excitement, and he doesn't know how to reply.

"Sit down, don't be inhibited. Wang Xuan handed the poured tea to the schoolmaster, and his movements were very skillful, obviously not the first time.

Those who are familiar with him know that His Majesty has no frame on weekdays, is approachable, and acts in a unique style, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Colonel Qin experienced it once, and took the teacup a little nervously, and then found that he was sitting or standing, and he couldn't really drink tea in front of His Majesty, which was very embarrassing.

Seeing this, Wang Xuan pressed his hands on Xiao Xiaoxiao's shoulders and pressed him on the stool, "Don't be restrained, I called you here this time to hear your thoughts." ”

When it comes to the question of military affairs and muskets, the Colonel comes to the spirit.

Since the last time the Turkish leader showed his hand, there was no follow-up, and his heart was already hungry and thirsty, and when he heard that he seemed to have a new task, his mind came to life again, "Your Majesty, please speak, and your post will not be relieved." ”

After dragging a few words, I heard His Majesty the King say: "You must also know the plan to raid Sun Moon Bay, the damage assessment given by the staff makes my heart ache, it is difficult for us to clear the enemy's command system and defense system in the shelling and bombardment, which will lead to a large number of casualties among sergeants, so I want you to rush forward to support, with the goal of killing the enemy commander, preventing the enemy from establishing effective resistance, and reducing the casualties of officers and soldiers on the front line." ”

This is an embarrassing request, although Wang Xuan said 'think' instead of commanding, but in Qin Xiaoxiao's opinion, 'thinking' and 'order' are the same thing. Since he had no choice, and he had the urge to shoot people, the little colonel said: "Your subordinate will receive orders." ”

Wang Xuan was not surprised by this result, the purpose of his visit to Colonel Qin was not only to simply convey military orders, but also to know how well he understood the word 'sniper'.

For now, the musket group that knows the most about guns belongs to the first research institute, followed by Wang Xuan, and then he is him.

The rational use of firearms has always been a big issue, and in terms of practical operation, Colonel Qin is undoubtedly the best of the three, and no one can control it, and his ideas are very important.

Sending him on a mission Wang Xuan was anxious.

"The musket is the new result of my auspicious research, and it is as meaningful as the artillery at the time.

You were the first to use a firearm in real combat, and your talent is so outstanding, that I have always positioned you as an instructor in the musket team.

However, raiding the Lusters has become a priority, and sending you there is no choice but to send you there.

First, we can reduce the damage of the soldiers, and you know, one of our brothers dies.

Second, I also hope that you can have a new understanding in this sniper battle, so that you can provide more experience inheritance in the training of the musket team in the future.

I always believe that talent is priceless, so your safety is the premise of this mission, and you can complete the task excellently under the premise of ensuring safety. ”

His Majesty's words were very down-to-earth, and Colonel Qin was able to fully understand the meaning, and after being moved, he had the idea of 'death for the confidant'.

But I heard His Majesty continue: "There will be a team of viper instructors to protect you on this trip, and two members of the special combat team will be selected as your deputies, and I will only have one request, that is, you and the gun must come back safely." ”

These words are heartwarming, only His Majesty the King can be protected by the Viper Instructor Team, and now how can he be able to win this honor, it feels untrue to think about it.

"Under Duty...... I will live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

The little colonel who had just sat down got up again, spilled a lot of the half cup of water he was holding in his hand, wet his feet, and the uneaten fruit in his right hand also fell to the ground, jumping and jumping just like he was in at this time.

"Go and prepare, if you have any needs, go directly to the second eldest of the instructor team. ”

After the school left, Wang Xuan's heart was a little more stable.

He has seen the school's marksmanship, not to mention that he can be regarded as a bullet without missing a shot in a hundred steps.

With the protection of the viper, it is not difficult to come back alive.

Assisted by two carefully selected deputies, it will be easier to carry out the task.

After removing this heart disease, Wang Xuan tried his best to think of a feasible plan to continue to reduce the damage of soldiers.

Again, even if you lose one less soldier, Jixiang will be stronger in terms of overall strength.

He doesn't have to worry about the logistics, the staff will be ready.

There is no need for a layman like him to worry about the connection between various ministries in wartime, and his failure to express his opinions is the greatest gospel of the General Staff.

The only thing he can do is to interpret the war from another angle, and to warp the trend of the entire war situation through asymmetrical operational thinking.

So he thought of weapons of mass destruction.

But in today's environment, artillery is a weapon of mass destruction, unless......

Wang Xuan's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.

This method is too vicious, if it is not controlled well and causes it to spread, it is impossible to say that the entire Southern Continent will become a ghost continent, and everyone will avoid it.

Forget it, there will be more than enough to accumulate virtue and virtue.

Recklessly sacrificing the lives of millions of people for the sake of millions of lives is not feasible, at least for the time being.

After extinguishing this whimsical idea, Wang Xuan felt that the donkey skills were exhausted, so he came to the small courtyard by the stream in a daze.

Only here can he find a piece of pure land of his own, listen to the sound of the stream, smell the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and have nothing to disturb or untangle.

So over time, he became obsessed with this feeling and got out of control.

It was only here that he truly felt that he was still his original self and had never changed!

Yang Tao is an honest man, His Majesty's mood is good, his mood is good, His Majesty's mood is bad, his mood is also bad, he is the barometer of Wang Xuan's mood, extremely accurate.

When the moon stars were scarce, there was no need for Yang Tao's prompt, Wang Xuan took care of the direction in which he got up and walked around.

On June 25, the battle plan had been perfected, and the second military meeting for the raid on Sun Moon City was held as scheduled.

During this period, the military put forward various demands, and Wang Zhi and others, who were in charge of logistics, promised to meet them one by one.
