47: attack on the silver mine plan

Inside the Air Command Center command room, a massive tactical map flickered with a faint blue light, illuminating Jiang Xin's calm and sharp profile.

He stood at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping over the officers standing at attention below, and an invisible aura of command permeated the room.

"Jiang Feifei," his voice was not loud, yet it clearly resonated throughout the entire space, "notify all senior officers to assemble in the operations conference room in ten minutes."

"Yes! Commander!" Jiang Feifei immediately straightened her back and responded, her movements crisp and efficient.

She quickly picked up the communicator and, in a clear and professional voice, notified them one by one: Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Lei, Battalion Chief of Staff Zhang Long, 1st Company Commander Chen Hao, 2nd Company Commander Li Ang, 3rd Company Commander Yang Wen, 4th Company Commander Shen Nan, Logistics Support Company Commander Li Hong, Attack Helicopter Squadron Leader Li Yi, Deputy Squadron Leader Liu Jiang, as well as Li Wei and Chen Xiao.

Operations Conference Room

The heavy alloy door closed, shutting out the clamor from the outside.

On both sides of the long conference table sat the core strength of the Red Alert Legion.

Senior officers such as Zhang Lei, Zhang Long, Li Ang, and Chen Hao had all arrived.

Jiang Xin stood at the head of the table, hands resting on the edge, sweeping the room with a gaze like a torch: "Everyone, the Zombie Tide outbreak has been going on for nearly half a month, and the situation is changing rapidly.

We have initially stabilized Yongjiang Base, but the crisis is far from over.

I need to hear your thoughts on the upcoming combat plan."

His voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Everyone present was a trusted confidant, and the mission to retake Yongjiang County was an open secret.

Zhang Long immediately stood up and walked to the massive holographic tactical map on the wall.

His fingers quickly swiped and zoomed in on the light screen, clearly displaying the terrain and topography of Yongjiang County and its surroundings.

"Commander," Zhang Long's voice carried the calm analysis typical of a staff officer, "I believe the next strategic focus should be on Tengqiao Town!"

His finger pointed precisely at the location of Tengqiao Town on the map.

"There are three reasons." Zhang Long said clearly and logically, "First, Tengqiao Town possesses proven silver mine resources, which is the financial lifeline indispensable to our base's development and must be seized as soon as possible!

Second, geographically speaking, Yongjiang County is distributed in a long, narrow north-south strip, with the Yongjiang County seat located at the northernmost end.

Tengqiao Town happens to guard the critical central juncture of the north-south traffic in Yongjiang County!

By taking this place, we can advance to attack, using Tengqiao as a springboard to radiate out and clear the threats from all the southern towns;

we can also retreat to defend, forming a north-south barrier to effectively split the Zombie Tide.

Third," his finger traced a clear road marker, "there is a ready-made, two-way six-lane national highway from Yongjiang County seat to Tengqiao Town, a distance of only 45 kilometers!

Our armored forces can advance at full speed and arrive in one hour! The efficiency is extremely high."

He paused and turned his gaze to Jiang Xin: "Based on the above, I suggest: draw some garrison forces from Yongjiang County seat (the clearing of the urban area is nearing completion), coordinate with elite armored assault forces, and quickly take Tengqiao Town to establish a forward base!

At the same time, use this base as a foothold to gradually clear the southern region."

Jiang Xin nodded slightly, fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, showing that he was thinking carefully.

A moment later, he made a decisive decision: "Chief of Staff Zhang's analysis is spot on! Tengqiao Town must be taken!"

He turned his gaze to those seated below, "Among the four combat companies, the 1st Company is the best equipped and has the strongest combat capability. Chen Hao!"

"Here!" Chen Hao stood up like a spring, his mecha gloves subconsciously clenching.

"Your 1st Company will take the lead, and the 4th Company will be responsible for flank coverage and logistics support!

Chen Xiao and Howling Heaven will accompany the team to provide aerial reconnaissance and ground assault support!"

Jiang Xin spoke very quickly, his decision-making decisive, "I will personally accompany the attack helicopter formation to establish the forward base command center!

Dispatch: 12 armored personnel carriers, 1 rhino heavy tank, 2 grizzly medium tanks, 3 hind attack helicopters, and 1 chinook armed transport helicopter!

We must take the silver mine at the fastest possible speed and establish a solid stronghold!"

"Guarantee to complete the mission!" Chen Hao's eyes ignited with fighting spirit as he responded in a deep voice.

At this moment, Attack Helicopter Squadron Leader Li Yi also stood up. He was lean and had eyes like a hawk: "Commander! Chief of Staff Zhang! I believe that while ensuring the main attack direction, we still have surplus mobile forces!

Besides routine patrols and mobile support, the attack helicopter squadron can fully utilize its advantage in rapid raids!"

He walked to the map and pointed his finger at several county centers around Yongjiang County marked with bank and jewelry store symbols: "Send out elite squads, rapidly deployed by attack helicopters, to raid the core blocks of these county towns!

Target: Gold! Silver! This is the foundation of our Red Alert Base's development!

At the same time, during the operation, search and rescue as many valuable survivors as possible to supplement the population!

This can both acquire key resources and accelerate the base's development pace, killing two birds with one stone!"

A flash of light appeared in Jiang Xin's eyes; Li Yi's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

For base development, funds are the lifeblood! He immediately looked at Zhang Lei: "Brother Lei, this raid mission is meant for you!"

Zhang Lei's mouth curved into a confident arc, his eyes sharp beneath his fiery red hair: "Leave it to me! Li Wei!"

"Here!" Li Wei stood up steadily.

"You will be the deputy leader and assist me!" Zhang Lei ordered, "Dispatch 3 hinds, 1 chinook, and select dozens of the most elite three-star veterans!

Target: The vaults and banks of the surrounding county towns! Save people! Seize gold! Move fast, and strike hard!"

"Understood!" Li Wei's voice was resonant.

"Good!" Jiang Xin concluded, his gaze falling on Zhang Long and Li Ang, "The final clearing and cleanup work in the urban area will be the responsibility of Chief of Staff Zhang and 2nd Company Commander Li Ang!

Must clear all hidden dangers! If you encounter any tough nuts to crack, report it immediately, and I will personally step in to solve it!"

He rose abruptly, his gaze sweeping the room like lightning: "The mission is clear! Everyone prepare and depart immediately!"

"Yes! Commander!" All the officers stood up in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, and gave Jiang Xin an incredibly solemn military salute, their voices loud and full of iron-blooded loyalty! The atmosphere in the conference room reached its peak instantly!

Lounge

After the meeting ended, Jiang Xin returned to the relatively private lounge.

Jiang Feifei was organizing the meeting minutes, her army-green casual wear highlighting her upright posture and focused profile.

"Feifei," Jiang Xin leaned back on the chair, his tone casual yet carrying a hint of unquestionability, "I won't be eating at the Air Command Center tonight; I'm going to the Barracks to see my parents. You come with me."

"Ah? Yes! Commander!" Jiang Feifei reacted immediately, her heart jumping suddenly!

Accompany the Commander to see his parents? This... this progress is too fast!

She felt her cheeks as if they had been singed by a small flame, instantly heating up, and even her earlobes were quietly stained with a blush.

She quickly lowered her head, pretending to continue organizing the documents, but her fingers were subconsciously gripping the edges of the paper, her heart racing like a deer.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, guessing the deep meaning behind Jiang Xin's actions, a warm palm suddenly and without warning touched her cheek!

"Comrade second lieutenant," Jiang Xin's voice, full of teasing amusement, sounded in her ear, his fingers gently stroking her burning skin, "Your face... is red enough to fry an egg. What are you thinking about?"

He leaned closer, his breath brushing against the auricle of her ear.

"Ah—!"
