Chapter 1 The General Offensive

Two hours after An Qiqi left, Su Tianyu walked into the war room with a thick stack of documents, ready to call a military meeting.

Nearly thirty direct line generals from the allied forces had gathered in the room, including Zhao Weihu, Wang Dingyuan, Fei Pingsheng, as well as Santos from Old Mo and his chief of staff.

Seeing Su Tianyu enter, everyone looked up at him.

Su Tianyu's gaze fell on the empty head seat, and he was stunned for a moment. Then, pointing to the seat, he turned to Zhao Weihu beside him and asked, "What's this about, Brother Tiger!"

Zhao Weihu said in a teasing tone, "Aren't you calling the war meeting? The head seat is definitely reserved for you, sit down!"

Su Tianyu smiled, "Look, you guys are too polite, how can I be so embarrassed?"

While saying that, his butt obediently sat down.

Zhao Weihu raised his arm and applauded, greeting everyone, "Come on, let's welcome Commander Su to arrange our combat missions."

"Pa pa pa!"

A round of applause sounded in the room, including Santos, who also smiled and clapped his hands.

Since Su Tianyu returned, Zhao Weihu had repeatedly praised him in public, just to establish his position as the core commander. Everyone saw it and acquiesced to it.

Zhao Weihu knew very well that whether it was Hua District, Old Mo, or the An family, the garrison, and the plate of Panama City, only Su Tianyu could play it well. Therefore, the first commander of the Allied Forces must be him.

Su Tianyu also knew what Zhao Weihu was thinking, the two brothers had this tacit understanding. So, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Haha, we are all old acquaintances, no need to be so polite, let's start!"

The applause stopped, Su Tianyu distributed the documents in his hand, and then connected the computer to the projector.

After everything was ready, he sat back in his chair, clasped his hands, and said, "Recently, I have been thinking about the layout and decision-making in the Old Mo area, and finally came up with a very risky, almost all-or-nothing plan, to advance the final battle with Bahia Qiao."

Everyone was slightly startled when they heard the words "final battle."

Su Tianyu glanced at everyone and continued, "The Dragon City is losing more and more places, our heavy industry and material supplies that we depend on for survival have all been cut off, this is the fact we must face. The Old Mo area is also suffering from the war, and its production capacity is very weak. We are essentially relying on the supply line of Panama City to barely support ourselves at the same time. However, a small Panama City is not enough to support two major battlefields. If we drag on like this, we will surely die! So, my idea is, instead of this, it is better to fight them in a final battle directly!"

Santos thought for a moment and said, "Commander Su, what you said makes sense, but now we are struggling to fight out of Huarez Town. Similarly, the Dragon City is also in danger. In this passive situation, how can we trigger a final battle?"

Su Tianyu pointed to the plan on the table, "It's all in my plan, please take a look, and I will continue to explain."

Everyone quieted down and spent about ten minutes reading Su Tianyu's plan, and they all showed a shocked expression.

Just as he said, this plan was full of absolute gains, but also full of absolute risks. It was almost using the Old Mo and Dragon City areas as a bet to fight a final battle with the enemy!

"Everyone has finished reading it, right, let me explain it." Su Tianyu looked at everyone's expressions, took out a laser pointer, pointed to the map on the screen, and said slowly, "I have been analyzing the Red Hat Army's supply line recently… Their capital city is in Desola, which is here. The Red Hat Army's offensive line, from Desola all the way to Huarez Town, is more than 1,200 kilometers long. With such a long supply line, they rely on the support of the First District's sea and air forces, as well as the natural defense barrier near Huarez Town. So, my plan is to first cut off their sea and air power, reduce their support capabilities, and then encircle and suppress their 1,200-kilometer supply line."

Zhao Weihu thought for a moment, "Infiltration and surprise attack?"

"No, this is a strategic encirclement, a multi-force interspersed encirclement and suppression. Our advance troops are expected to arrive at locations where there are no enemy troops," Su Tianyu explained softly.

Hearing this, Santos' chief of staff immediately raised a question, "Sorry, Commander Su, I can't imagine how to cut off their supply line."

Su Tianyu continued, "This is the issue I'm going to talk about next. The First District's naval fleet and air force base are located between Old Mo and Dragon City, in order to support the two major battlefields at the same time. This method has great advantages, but it also gives us room to maneuver… So, what we have to do is to link up with the Dragon City!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Su Tianyu pointed to the map and said in a sonorous and forceful voice, "Cutting off their sea and air power is just the first step, how we fight out is the second step! How to encircle? How to intersperse multiple troops? It's all in the Gates of Hell plan I just showed you!"

The faces of the people on the scene were very solemn, because they had all seen the plan just now and knew the danger involved.

A general from the Old Mo area frowned and couldn't help but said, "Commander Su, I have read your Gates of Hell plan. I think it is impossible to rely solely on manpower, using feet to transport supplies, and still guarantee combat capabilities! The planned location is full of a large number of swamps and dense forests all over the mountains! Once there is any disturbance, and we don't have air superiority, there is no way to provide any support! Under such difficult conditions, I can't imagine how they can walk such a long distance on foot!"

Su Tianyu said with a firm gaze, "Yes, it's difficult, I know that very well. Because when formulating this plan, I consulted a lot of information, and my understanding of the surrounding terrain is no less than yours. However, it is precisely because it is difficult that it is possible to capture that glimmer of opportunity and revitalize the entire situation! In fact, there are not a few similar battles in the history of our nation. Including the dispute between the North and South regimes in East Asia more than 150 years ago, and when Hua District was unified, there were such war examples. I believe that since the predecessors can complete it, we can complete it too!"

Hearing these words, everyone stopped refuting and fell silent.

Su Tianyu glanced at everyone and said in a low voice, "I need someone to wade through this Gates of Hell."

Zhao Weihu thought for a moment and was about to speak. But at this moment, Fei Pingsheng raised his hand and took the lead in saying, "I'll go, I'll lead the team."

Wang Dingyuan couldn't help but said, "Let me go, this kind of interspersed operation is more suitable for our mercenary group."

Fei Pingsheng smiled and said, "How can I let you go? You are a foreign general, and you have come all the way to help us fight, you have done enough. At the same time, you are also a guest, how can I let you go on such a mission. Moreover, if something happens to you, we will not be able to explain it to Hua District. And Commander Zhao has to stay in the Renmin Army to lead the entire army to deal with the frontal battlefield, and he cannot leave either. Our best choice is to let me go."

Hearing these words, Su Tianyu was very grateful to Fei Pingsheng for being able to take on his plan.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that over the years, Lao Fei had gone from an old thunderer with a slick appearance and a heart full of ideals to where he is today, also taking on more responsibilities step by step.

Thinking about it carefully, this task is indeed most suitable for Fei Pingsheng. Not only is he quick-witted and has a steady personality, but he has also accumulated enough combat capabilities in the army over the years, and has had similar experience.

Thinking of this, Su Tianyu looked at Fei Pingsheng and couldn't help but say, "Brother Fei…"

Fei Pingsheng seemed to know what he was going to say, and directly waved his hand to interrupt him, and said at the same time, "Don't say those cheesy words on these occasions, just get to the point!"

Su Tianyu took a deep look at him, swallowed the extra words back into his stomach, and said, "Whoever you want, and whatever weapons and equipment you want, just ask, feel free to choose!"

Fei Pingsheng fell into deep thought, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Hey! That's right, give me Xing Yao who was just promoted, I want him!"

Su Tianyu nodded and said, "No problem!"

…

An hour and a half later, everyone improved the Gates of Hell plan.

When leaving, Su Tianyu walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward and put his arm around Fei Pingsheng's shoulder, and solemnly promised him, "No matter what the cost, I will definitely guarantee that the troops will break through the defense line and meet you! When the time comes, let's have a drink!"

Fei Pingsheng turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile, "I'll tell you too, before I die, as long as you say come, I will definitely wait for you!"

"It's a deal!" Su Tianyu nodded heavily, "Before things are done, no one fucking dies first!"

…

An hour later, Xing Yao, who had just been promoted not long ago, received a transfer order from above.

He sat in the camp and cursed, "Fuck, I just got promoted to brigade commander, and I'm asked to perform a secret mission… Damn it, why do I feel so uneasy in my heart?"
