Chapter 498: When the flames of war burned

"The Advance City, the Navy Headquarters, and the Judicial Island together form a triangular sea area, and there is a huge vortex in the middle, and the periphery of the vortex is a fast passage dedicated to the world government agencies, with the help of the vortex, the three agencies can quickly support each other!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo, who led his troops to the headquarters of the advance army, listened carefully to the battlefield explanation of the battlefield of the chief of staff of the advance army, Uzumaki Kazuku, and the wonderful and self-consistent marine environment of the pirate world was an eye-opener for Sanshoyu Hanzo.

"It's a miracle of nature......"

Even Hanzo Sanshoyu can't help but sigh at this magical marine environment: "The naval headquarters of Marinford, the hall of Justice Island Anies, the advancement city of Impel, and there is a fast passage between the three places...... This strategic pivot loop built from vortex is truly ingenious! ”

"Moreover, according to public information, Advance City is not a natural island, but a man-made prison with the bottom space leading to the bottom of the sea!"

Uzumaki Ichiraku said seriously: "Although from the current point of view, the combat effectiveness of our ships far exceeds that of the puppet government navy of this world, it can also be seen from the construction structure of the Advance City that their technology is also unique, so we must not take it too lightly!" ”

"That's true......"

The Uchiha Rumbu on the side nodded with satisfaction.

"When the troops were dispatched in this battle, at the gate of the world, His Majesty took my hand and said......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo said slowly: "Strategically, you can despise the enemy, but tactically you must attach great importance to it!" ”

The faces of the people in charge immediately turned grim.

"This is, after all, a world, a world with a complete system......"

Hanzo lightly tapped on the map of the sea area, and said quietly: "As pioneers, even if we know that some periods are really difficult, we have to do it. ”

The ninjas in charge all nodded in agreement.

The benefits that the world of pirates brings to the ninja world are not half-starred.

It's not just the sea fish that can't be caught, it's not just the salted dried fish that everyone in the ninja world can eat, it's not just the special alloy formed by the ore mined in the desert island area and the metal smelting of the ninja world, it's not just the re-expansion of the ninja power in the era of great unification - more importantly, after these ninjas suddenly entered the era of peace, even the ninjas who joined the army didn't know what to do found a way out again.

The process of promotion from lower ninja to upper ninja is a single-plank bridge that gets narrower and narrower, and in this process, not only personal strength and luck are required, but also sufficient background is required - especially in the dynastic era when upper ninja generally got the status of a member of parliament, being recognized as a superior ninja is not only an affirmation of strength, but also a shortcut to directly gaining power and becoming the ruling class.

Although war is cruel, it is also the fastest way for middle and lower ninjas to be promoted, and it is the best way to transfer internal contradictions to the outside.

So, although there are many ninjas who are a little war-weary, many more are happy when they hear about the war.

"At the Imperial Council, His Majesty gave me 7,000 standing troops......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo sighed again: "Then I felt that it was not enough, so I went to the imperial front to ask for more troops, so Your Majesty temporarily transferred three wings from the Fourth Army to gather 10,000 troops!" ”

"Moreover, the five most all-main gun battleships are all under my command, in addition to twelve ironclads and thirty cruisers, and the ships of the navy are almost in full swing!"

"Therefore, in this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat!"

'Bang! ’

Sanshoyu Hanzo casually threw out a kunai nail on the map to advance the location of the city, and said coldly: "The advance city must be beaten!" Must also be taken! ”

"The next question is how to fight!"

The staff officers immediately began to prepare for the tactical exercise.

"The combat unit of the headquarters will transfer 1,200 ninja troops, together with a wing assigned by Hanzo's command, to form a fleet on the ironclad ships and troop carriers of the headquarters, and attack in the direction of the East China Sea!"

Uchiha Shiina stood up and said, "At the same time, in order to make the momentum as big as possible, the headquarters will sweep the port cities of each member country in the Tokai region along the line, and try to carry out in-depth landing operations in suitable cities to capture the capitals of three to five kingdoms!" ”

"What's the point?"

Uchiha Rumbu asked aloud.

"One is looting!"

Uchiha Shiina said unabashedly: "Secondly, the headquarters will launch an offensive before Hanzo's command, and go all out to mobilize the pirate gang currently under its control to maximize the momentum, so as to attract the attention of the World Government Navy!" ”

"And even in the Navy Headquarters, their ships are limited; What's more, after luring them into the East China Sea, even if they finally discover our true strategic purpose, they will not be able to bypass the common shipping lanes to support them in a short period of time! ”

"If that's the case, then Shiina has to be very cautious in commanding this battle......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo nodded at first, but then shook his head.

"From the Navy's wanted warrants, combined with recent rumors among pirate gangs in various places, we can see something very interesting......

The Uchiha Shiina didn't answer directly, but took out a proclamation from his bosom and spread it on the table and said, "Those Kishigakure rebel ninjas destroyed their naval warships with just the main guns of the ironclad ships, and the battle damage of Kishigakure is mainly from the melee phase......"

"So your opinion is ......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo turned the proclamation to himself, raising his eyebrows in some surprise.

"Give full play to the advantage of firepower, and completely send it to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish outside the range of its strong treading water!"

Uchiha Shiina said categorically.

"No melee?"

Sanshoyu Hanzo frowned.

"The headquarters tries not to engage in close combat contact with the navy as much as possible."

Uchiha Shiina replied.

After all, there were only 2,200 ninjas he brought out this time, and they couldn't withstand a war of attrition.

"So, how should the specific tactics be arranged?"

Uchiha Rumbu interjected again.

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, attack it and save it, and choose the opportunity to encircle and annihilate!"

Uchiha Shiina said.

"Very good!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo also nodded.

According to the analysis of the existing battle reports, the physical strength of the powerhouses in this world, whether they are so-called devil fruit ability or domineering cultivators, is far superior to that of ninjas.

But ninjas are not useless, not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of tactics, they also have a huge advantage.

And now what Uchiha Shiina has to do is to maximize the advantages of the ninjas in terms of tactical cognition.

"The tactics of the advance army are thus decided, and the next is the ...... of the First Army"

Sanshoyu Hanzo said.

Immediately, in addition to the wing assigned to the advance army, the other nine wing commanders immediately stepped forward and surrounded the chart.

"The core of this battle lies in the extreme mobilization and encirclement reinforcements!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo pulled up the kunai who was nailed to the position of the advancing city, "From the point of view of numbers, although we have nine thousand ninja troops, we may not be able to occupy an absolute advantage in numbers. ”

"Moreover, we have no way of knowing the internal situation in the city."

Kazura Uzumaki added.

"That's right!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo nodded more satisfied, "So, according to His Majesty's instructions, combined with the existing information, I plan to divide this battle into three stages!" ”

"The first stage is to directly drive the fleet straight into the windless zone and induce the garrison navy to engage us on the sea!"

"After sinking all the enemy's ships with superior firepower, continue to carry out heavy artillery bombardment on the advancing city, and create effective casualties while destroying the enemy's shore fire resistance."

The Wing Captain and the Shinobi nodded in agreement.

"But that's not enough, our core lies in the second phase ......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo shook off the kunai that was spinning in his palm, and nailed it to the fast passage between Justice Island and Advance City: "Layers of sniping and encirclement reinforcements are what we have to do!" ”

"In the second stage, after defeating the garrison fleet of the advancing city, the ironclad ships will continue to besiege and bombard, and the battleships and wolf submarines with all the main guns will be transferred to the battlefield for reinforcement!"

"But taking into account the enemy's magical means of communication......"

"It is said that large phone bugs can transmit images to other places."

Kazura Uzumaki added.

"That's right!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo nodded: "So, the fleet that bombed the advancing city will use illusion camouflage to create the illusion that all the participating ships in the headquarters are constantly bombarding!" ”

"Or the first stage of the battle with the garrison navy...... Just don't let all the battleships get on board. ”

One of the co-captains raised his hand and said.

Then he was greeted with glaring glances from all the captains.

"The lion fights the rabbit and needs to go all out......"

Hanzo Sanshoyu lightly brushed off this suggestion.

Everyone wants to be able to get enough combat success on the battlefield, and if this is not balanced, sooner or later the ninja army will have problems.

Moreover, although Sanshoyu Hanzo was an ally of the shogunate period and a famous 'demigod', he actually didn't have much contact with these ninja captains and even the captains of various ships, let alone prestige, so in order to make a bowl of water even, he still needed to toss a little more.

"Moreover, the more ships we participate in, the more naval ...... we can induce"

Uchiha Rumbu also added: "In this way, the damage to the enemy's living force will naturally be greater." ”

"It's just that it is said that there are still many legendary Sea King-level sea monsters in the windless belt, especially in Advance City......"

Uzumaki Ichiraku hesitated for a moment, and added: "Although we have never encountered these large sea creatures, after all, we still have to pay attention, what if the Advance City can control these sea monsters......

"Yakura-kun ......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo looked left and right, but didn't find the figure of Goji Yakura, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: There is no reason to leave him!

Obviously, everyone boarded the ship together when they set off!

"I'm ...... here"

Behind Hanzo, there was a faint voice of Goji Yakura.

"Oh......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo turned around and didn't find a figure, and then looked down in the direction of the sound, only to find that the disgruntled Goji Yakura was staring at him viciously.

"Sorry ......"

The tall Sanshoyu Hanzo was very embarrassed: "But Yakura-kun's cultivation of the secret technique of breathing is really good, I can't even find ......"

"I ......"

Goji Yakura wanted to scold, but he endured it.

"Ahem!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment: "Those monsters in the sea will trouble you......"

"No problem."

Although there were some complaints, Goji Yakura nodded in response.

"And after we have completed the second stage of the encirclement and reinforcements, it will be the bloodiest and most dangerous battle!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo quickly changed the topic: "That is, the third stage of the operation: the landing annihilation war!" ”

"When the time comes, except for the artillery support that Lunbujun will coordinate after staying, all the upper ninja must fight, and I will take the lead in the charge with Iambush!"

"The place where His Majesty's personal expedition is stationed is the Advance City!"

"Gentlemenβ€”"

Sanshoyu Hanzo took out the ninja knife on his waist and raised it between his eyebrows, "I wish you victory!" ”

"Victory!"

The upper ninjas shouted in unison!

……

Under the cover of night, the advance fleet, which had completed the preparation and replenishment, left the harbor in the wind and rain, and sailed towards the East China Sea.

As a flank breakthrough fleet, they will be tasked with completely disrupting the situation in the East China Sea and mobilizing the forces of the Navy Headquarters.

However, due to the relatively limited strength, it is not possible to engage in head-to-head combat with the main force of the navy, so the specific tactical execution requires great skill and flexibility.

Until the time of departure, Chief of Staff Kazura Uzumaki was still in the flagship command room to carry out tactical breakdowns.

"Chief of Staff Yile, haven't rested yet?"

Uchiha Shiina pushed the door and walked in.

"The route of the Goya Kingdom that carried out the landing operation still needs to be planned......"

Uzumaki Ichiraku rubbed his eyes, put down the pencil in his hand and said, "In the end, it's because of our lack of information, and we haven't been able to determine what is the safest for the time being. ”

"What's this~"

Uchiha Shiina looked at the tactical planning map, smiled heartily and said, "In a few days, if you break through a naval branch, won't all the charts be available?" ”

"That being said, it's always good to be prepared......"

Uzumaki Kazura shrugged: "Besides, won't they encrypt the charts?" You can't trust the captured charts because of lack of intelligence, right? ”

"Although our main task is to create chaos and exhaust the cubs of the Navy Headquarters, the core task is to obtain enough privateer benefits......

Uchiha Shiina said awkwardly: "Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing in an instant, and there are some things that are not necessary to consider and cannot be predicted. ”

"So why are you coming to me?"

Uzumaki said disapprehantly.

"How do you know I've just caught a tuna that's more than a meter long?"

Uchiha Shiina slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "And it was caught in less than a minute by throwing the rod!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who asked you! ”

The whirlpool is speechless!

"Forget it, don't dwell on this!"

Uchiha Shiina pulled Uzumaki Ichiraku out, "I've already asked the ninjas of the Mizuki family to make iced thick-cut fish, let's go and try it together!" (End of chapter)
