Therefore, Jiang Chen quickly formulated a response strategy.

Looking at the detailed blueprints and structure of these eight lines of defense,
The other soldiers around him frowned.

"Commander, take a look at this defensive line."

"This defensive line is truly ingeniously designed; each line is actually interconnected."...

"In other words, when the outermost line of defense is threatened,"

The seven lines of defense inside can be reinforced rapidly and from the most convenient angles.

"The most crucial point is that our advanced weapons are simply ineffective here."

"Because their foundation was dug a full five meters deep."

"In this way, most of our energy blast attacks will be blocked by the surrounding soil."

"This greatly weakened our combat effectiveness."

The soldiers present immediately recognized the most ingenious aspect of these eight defensive lines.

They were all graduates of professional military academies.

They naturally have considerable expertise in field warfare.

Even if it's just theoretical discussion, they can still see the advantages and disadvantages involved.

Moreover, they have experienced many real-world combat scenarios.

They have more experience in positional warfare.

"The enemy has probably brought in a master strategist."
"They were able to devise such an ingenious defensive strategy."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Actually, when it comes to positional warfare,

The Dragon Kingdom claims to be second to none.

At least that's what other countries think.

However, with the development of technology and the changes of the times,
In terms of positional warfare, China only has past experience and no new developments.

In other words, the Dragon Kingdom's current understanding of territorial warfare...

It is still based on the war from decades ago.

Their understanding of field warfare is not yet deep.

But in Southeast Asia, and other warlord-controlled areas...
They are the ones who are best at positional warfare.

Because the war there combined modern weaponry with primitive fighting methods.

To put it bluntly, the people fighting there are still using conventional firearms.
For example, Gatling guns, rifles, submachine guns, and old-fashioned rifles, etc.

It was no different from any other battle.
The weapons are just more advanced.

Therefore, in such places, the advantages of positional warfare can be maximized.

"They must have hired a skilled mercenary who is very experienced in combat."

"We've met our match this time."

Jiang Chen said calmly, "They must acknowledge one fact."
Their current understanding of positional warfare

It remains merely a theoretical concept.

The enemy, on the other hand, often waged positional warfare.
They also have extensive experience in urban warfare and other areas.

It's not surprising that such an ingenious defensive position could be designed.

The challenge now is how they should respond to such a large-scale positional attack by the enemy.
How to break through the opponent's defenses.

This type of positional warfare, with eight lines of defense, especially the outermost one...
Don't underestimate it just because it's only a defensive line.
In fact, it concentrates the combat power of the first seven lines of defense.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

"I request that the airship be deployed to strike from the air."

After thinking for a while, the other soldiers offered their suggestions.

But Jiang Chen quickly countered, saying that if the airborne vehicles were deployed,
What's the difference between that and them wearing armor?
This high-tech weapon is simply a game-changer.
It does not improve their practical experience.

Since we can't use hovercars,

It seems there's no better way.

"Perhaps we could try anti-aircraft guns; our weapons all have shell conversion modes."

It can be converted into a mortar.

"Launch a large-scale attack on the enemy's positions."

Another soldier offered a suggestion.

This suggestion is much better than the previous one.

But Jiang Chen still shook his head.

"You're oversimplifying things. The enemy's position is only five meters deep."

Even though our mortars are extremely powerful,
It's unlikely that this will be able to inflict an effective blow on them.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Then came a sigh.

"This won't work, that won't work, what do you suggest we do?"

The enemy's numbers were far greater than theirs to begin with.

Once surrounded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They didn't even have a chance to escape.

Jiang Chen has now given them a strict order: they cannot use the hovercar.

This is practically tantamount to courting death.

With weapons that are far beyond modern technology,

In the current positional warfare, it is difficult to leverage their advantages.

"It's not actually that difficult to break through their positional warfare and eight lines of defense."

"I already know what I'm doing."

Looking at the eight lines of defense in front of them,
Jiang Chen smiled coldly, his expression full of sarcasm.

These eight lines of defense look ingenious, but in reality they are full of loopholes.

Most importantly, Jiang Chen didn't think these positions were anything special.

Theoretical prowess is ultimately just theory.

Only by actually fighting can you know just how formidable this position truly is.

"What I'm most worried about right now is being surrounded by the enemy."

"They have 20,000 men."

“Once we start fighting them, the enemy will outflank us from behind.”

"That would be a huge problem..."

Jiang Chen knew in his heart that the enemy they were facing this time was no ordinary person.

In reality, those eight lines of defense were just a facade.

If Jiang Chen's guess is correct
The enemy had no intention of using these eight lines of defense to stop their attack.

Rather, they wanted to use them to restrain them.

"Everyone, take a look at this map yourselves."

"It's surrounded by jungles and hills."

“These places are particularly easy for people to hide in.”

"If we launch an attack from the front..."

Once we engage the enemy, they can outflank us from behind.

"At that time, even if we have the most advanced weapons and equipment, we will probably have a hard time getting away."

Jiang Chen quickly expressed his concerns.

Those around were taken aback by what they heard.

Yes, why didn't they think of that before?

This is indeed the case.

If a fight breaks out, that would be really bad.

This enemy is really too cunning.

They actually used a frontal defensive line to contain them.

"Jiang Chen, what should we do now? The enemy has become smarter."

"If we play the same way as before, we won't be able to get the Desert Star at all."

"If this continues, the situation will likely be very unfavorable for us."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.

Then he slowly turned around.

I will no longer discuss tactics with everyone.

"Actually, it's both difficult and easy."

"We don't need to worry too much about tactical matters."

"I have one question for you: when our troop strength is vastly outnumbered by the enemy's,"
Do you have the confidence to defeat your opponent?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one dared to speak up immediately.

Because a bad answer could cost you your life.

They had only a dozen or so people, while the other side had more than 20,000.

The odds of winning such a battle are extremely slim.

Relying on conventional combat and direct confrontation, they simply cannot be a match for their opponent.

Both sides have exhausted their tactics.

Once the battle reaches this point...
That makes things simple. It all comes down to one decisive charge.

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if we fail, it's just death."

"With so few of us, if we can drag a large number of enemies down with us..."

I think it was worth it.

"Yes, these guys dare to bully our compatriots like this."

This time, we're going to teach them a lesson.

As one of them spoke...
Others gradually joined in.

None of the people who dared to come here with Jiang Chen were cowards.

Their minds were full of military knowledge, and they also possessed considerable strength.

When facing enemies, they can wield their broadswords without hesitation.

If that's the case, what is there to be afraid of?

Moreover, they also have Jiang Chen as their instructor.

They're afraid even though Jiang Chen isn't afraid. Is that reasonable?
"Alright, then I'll explain my plan. As you can see, their eight lines of defense form an encirclement."

"And the western part is the weakest point among them."

"Therefore, if we want to launch a general offensive, we have to break through from this place."

Jiang Chen pointed to a point on the map.

This is the westernmost part of the eight defense lines.
That is, to their left.

Because this place is only fifty meters away from the core area of ​​the Wolf Fang Group headquarters.

Once you break through these fifty meters, you'll reach the location of the Desert Star.

The enemy was cunning this time; they placed the Heart of the Desert in the very center.

Even if Jiang Chen and his group break through to the very center,

At that time, they will also face attacks from all sides.

"Commander, since it's all we can think of..."
I'm sure the enemy thought of that too.

"This westernmost point should also be the area where the enemy's defenses are strongest."

One of the soldiers spoke up quickly.

Jiang Chen nodded; that was indeed the case.

"Therefore, I plan to use the strategy of 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao' to fight this battle."

"The sixteen people were divided into four combat teams."

"One of them is the general reserve team, and this absolutely cannot be changed."

"There is another group that is going to the enemy's western defense line to break through from there."

"And ultimately, only this group can obtain the Heart of the Desert."

"The remaining two groups need to be attacked head-on."

Jiang Chen explained his idea.

"This mission, the people going to the western defense line, are in great danger."
It's probably a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.

"The task of holding back the main force at the front is also very important."

Therefore, I will lead another team to hold the enemy back from the front.

"Anyone who wants to go to the western frontier, step forward."

"I won't force you, I hope everyone can act on their own initiative."

As Jiang Chen finished speaking,
The fifteen people present took a step forward almost simultaneously.

Seeing the attitude and the energy in everyone's eyes, Jiang Chen nodded.

Finally, he selected the most capable individuals from among these fifteen to go to the western defense line.

A general reserve team was then formed.

And two other teams.

The pre-war plans have finally been discussed and finalized.

Meanwhile, on the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group's side, everyone was ready to go.

"Jia Leijie, can this really stop Jiang Chen and his team's attack?"

"You know, their weapons are incredibly powerful."

"Every attack is like a cannonball, and the damage is extremely high."

"We just placed the Desert Star right in the middle."

"It doesn't feel quite right."

"If something gets damaged, that would be a real problem."

"How about we move the Desert Star to another location?"

"You can just stay here and take a break."

A subordinate standing next to Jia Leijie spoke respectfully.

Although this person worked for the Wolf Fang Group, he already admired Jia Leijie immensely.

He felt extremely honored to be able to work under Jia Leijie at this moment.

He understood that Jia Leijie wanted to use this thing to lure Jiang Chen and his group into an ambush.

Putting everything else aside, Jia Leijie's series of arrangements are truly exemplary.

Even he couldn't imagine how Jiang Chen could break through and steal the Desert Star without getting hurt.

"You underestimate Jiang Chen. If you use a fake one, you definitely won't be able to fool him."

"Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion."

"Deception can't fool people, but the truth will definitely catch them."

There's an old saying in China that goes something like this.

“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cubs.”

"I have investigated this battle thoroughly."

"Jiang Chen and his group had neither armor nor hovercars."

"The weapons we have are nothing to speak of."

Jia Leijie smiled coldly, saying that the key to victory lies in knowing yourself and your enemy.

From the very beginning, he had thoroughly investigated all aspects of Jiang Chen's information, as well as the characteristics of this battle.

Their troops are indeed formidable, but it's only because they're technologically advanced.

Without these technologies, their strength would be greatly diminished. Jia Leijie wasn't afraid that they could stir up any trouble with just those few people.

The weapons the other party possessed posed no threat to him.

"Go down and check the situation, and alert the troops."

"Jiang Chen and his men will definitely attack tonight."

"We must find out their plans as soon as possible."

Jia Leijie said calmly.

"I understand, I'll do it right away."

Upon hearing this, the man didn't say much and quickly went down to make preparations.

"Hehe, Jiang Chen, I really didn't expect we'd be at war so soon."

"I hope you'll have the same luck this time as last time?"

Jia Leijie smiled coldly; he absolutely acknowledged Jiang Chen's strength.

He knew this was a master ever since their last encounter.

But it's limited to hand-to-hand combat skills.

The current competition is between jungle warfare and land warfare.

In this regard, Jia Leijie believes that if he claims to be number one, no one in the world would dare to claim to be number two.

There hasn't been anyone yet who can stand up to us in this kind of positional warfare.

If Jiang Chen dares to come, he'll make sure he never leaves.

“Luo Mayi, I always feel that Jia Leijie’s method is not very reliable.”

"Why put the real Desert Star in such a dangerous place?"

"This is right in the middle."

"If Jiang Chen really breaks through from here and gets the Desert Star..."

“Our people will definitely attack them.”

"If the Desert Star gets damaged, we won't be able to explain it to them."

The other two bosses beside Luo Mayi frowned and spoke.

They already knew Jared's final battle plan.

From any perspective, this plan is excellent; it can be said to be flawless.

If Jiang Chen dares to come, he'll be courting death.

But what they are worried about is the Desert Star.

That's what they care about most.

If the Desert Star is damaged, all three parties will definitely offend the buyer.

The situation in the entire Southeast Asia will be affected.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" (End of Chapter)
