Chapter 411: Victory (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The movement of the army was under the command of a General of Brigade ranked commander, which spared Zhao Yu a lot of trouble.

He sat in the command vehicle, moving along with the main force.

The forward reconnaissance troops had already sent back various intelligence through unmanned reconnaissance drones.

They had thoroughly scouted the route of the Han familys thousand troops.

Although unable to use integrated reconnaissance and attack, Zhao Yus unmanned reconnaissance drones were the most advanced, far surpa.s.sing the Han familys civilian drones.

For instance, the unmanned reconnaissance drones he dispatched could fly at alt.i.tudes of tens of thousands of meters.

In contrast, the Han familys drones could only reach a few hundred meters.

This was why Zhao Yus forces had already set out, while the Han family remained oblivious, slowly approaching.

For the Han family, it was still too early to deploy their drones.

According to their calculations, they would wait until they were about ten kilometers away from Zhao Family Town.

After all, the battery life of civilian drones was limited, and they couldnt travel too far.

As the distance between the two forces closed, the Han familys main force gradually reached the abandoned town predicted by the General of Brigade.

As night fell, the Han familys thousand troops were stationed in that abandoned town.

Zhao Yus army stopped five kilometers away from the them.

Inside the command vehicle, multiple screens displayed the enemys position.

The town stretched over three hundred meters from east to west, with two streets.

It was more than enough to accommodate a thousand troops.

However, the person leading the army this time clearly had some strategy planning and did not gather everyone together, but spread them out.

Although they strategically underestimated Zhao Yu, they were tactically cautious, not only patrolling at night but also lighting up the surrounding open ground with searchlights.

However, the Han family clearly underestimated Zhao Yu seriously, placing their commanders tent in a large building in the center of the town.

Before late at night, one could see many people carrying drinks in and out, as well as flamboyantly dressed women accompanying the army.

This is truly extravagant

Zhao Yu was shaking his head.

Without a doubt, the person staying in this building was Han Yong De, the eldest son of the Han family.

Only he would not forget to indulge in pleasures even while on a war zone

Should he kill him now?!

Zhao Yu hesitated. Normally, it was best to take the opportunity to eliminate the enemy commander while spotted.

But at this moment, it was not the optimal solution.

Han Yong De, after all, was the legitimate heir of the Han family.

Eliminating him so easily would only bring a force larger than a thousand men next time.

With his strength, it would be quite difficult to face tens of thousands of enemies without revealing his full capabilities.

Can we find their actual commander?

Zhao Yu knew very well that Han Yong De was merely a figurehead in the campaign, and the real commander was someone else.

Here As soon as these words were spoken, the General of Brigade commander pointed at a building, revealing the location of the enemys commander.

Zhao Yu found the building seemingly ordinary, indistinguishable from the others.

The commander explained, The unmanned reconnaissance drones radar detection shows that this building has the most frequent radio waves, likely the enemys command center

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and asked, How should we fight this battle? Do you have any ideas?

Commander, do you want to annihilate the enemy completely or just defeat them decisively?

Naturally, to shovel the enemy

Zhao Yu thought for a moment, pointing at the building where the Han family was indulging in luxury, This is the Han familys legitimate heir and people, I plan to let them escape

Understood

Lets take out their actual commander and then bombard near the building where the Han familys legitimate members were staying.

Create the illusion that their entire army has been defeated. With the level of that fool, he will definitely think of running away

Good, lets do it your way!

The plan was spoken lightly, but the actual operation was quite complex.

An elite troop needed to infiltrate and create the illusion of a large army attacking once the bombardment started.

The General of Brigade commander took out a map and began marking it.

This abandoned town is build toward east to west and less buildings at north to south regions, which is convenient for our infiltration

We can break out from point A, dispersing to points B, C, and D

Occupying these three points will create the atmosphere we want

In addition, we need to deploy a large army on the east, north, and south sides of the town to attract enemy fire and attention

Similarly, the first wave of bombardment needs to take out the enemys artillery battalion on the west side

Zhao Yu glanced at the photos sent back by the unmanned reconnaissance drone. At the westernmost end of the town, there were many mortars and two tanks.

These weapons and equipment, if not destroyed, it would cause significant casualties.

He planned to go easy in this battle, but he did not intend to suffer too many casualties.

Alright, lets do it this way. When do we start?

At five in the morning, when most soldiers were feeling sleepy

Hoooo

Following that, under the operation of the few commanders, the whole army began to move.

They marched four and a half kilometers in the dark, stopping five hundred meters from the enemy.

After a brief rest, they began to set up the artillery battalion.

With the detection of the unmanned reconnaissance drones, they easily controlled the distance of the mortars, ensuring they could hit the intended positions..
