Players Invade Cyberpunk
Chapter 1063 - 345: War Is an Art (Part 3)
"What? So fast?"
Ron was very surprised
How long has it been, you're telling me Hokuma's gone?
Did that guy screw up that badly?
But saying more is useless, the die is cast, now we can only think about how to salvage the loss.
"Attacking Da Haguai, these guys are a bit too bold."
Da Haguai is well-connected, it won't take long before they're heavily surrounded, getting in and trying to get out will be tough.
But considering the situation from the helicopter reconnaissance, it seems to be the only possibility left.
"Notify the others, prepare to turn, target is Da Haguai."
After issuing the turn command, because we ran all night without seeing a thing, now we have to turn towards Da Haguai
This made Ron feel irritated, he couldn't help but open the vent window to let the cold wind blow into the car, only then did he feel a little relieved.
He looked at the dark plain, couldn't help but think
I heard that these guys coming to Cuba don't even have a tank, the best equipment they have is a few drones, everything else is infantry.
What kind of enchantment did Military Technology give them to make them travel thousands of miles to Cuba to send themselves to their deaths?
But no one could answer this question.
Just like the whistling cold wind, it never stopped for a moment.
And mixed within it, a bit of the smoke that hadn't yet cooled.

The highest realm of commanding an army is to command the enemy
Releasing true or false intelligence from various channels to induce the opponent to make wrong decisions, ultimately falling into your trap.
The initial thought of Wildman and his group was to mix reality with illusion, releasing the news through channels like Military Technology that they were going to fake an attack on Hokuma.
This news would almost certainly leak to the European Community, so the Cubans would naturally know.
Then they just needed to casually reveal it in the live stream or let Sword Saint and them be 'accidentally' exposed under patrol reconnaissance, and it would naturally mobilize the surrounding troops.
The artillery unit led by the Mongolian Toplaner was on standby at the rear, countering the enemy's middle troops; if you go to hit Caldeia, then I'll go help Super Earth, and vice versa.
Even if there was a mishap in the middle it didn't matter, because Super Earth and Caldeia both had enough capability with the Mongolian Toplaner's support to take out either one of the strongholds, then the two groups would join forces and advance north to Da Haguai.
But the appearance of Family Joy changed this strategic deployment.
He pointed out that even if the players concentrate all their forces to take down Da Haguai, it would be to no avail, ultimately they will engage in a stand-off here with Havana until one side can't hold out and falls.
The losing side for Horizon Corporation in this battle is infinitely large.
Not only because Havana is being supplied by the European Community, but also because Horizon Corporation doesn't have a political foundation on Cuban soil.
Don't see Havana's drug cartel organizations as insignificant; after all, they are local Cuban organizations.
Military actions by Horizon Corporation and New America towards Cuba are very likely to stimulate local people's nationalism, viewing them as invaders.
The players charge into Da Haguai, the end result will only be infinite backstabbing by local residents and a direct assault by the Cuban army draining them.
War is an extension of politics, not a coloring game; it's not as if you conquer a city, and the locals will obediently follow your orders, let you tax, and even recruit for you.
If political issues are not taken into account, it is absolutely impossible to achieve ultimate victory.
Coercing a city is lower, coercing hearts is superior.
Occupying land is lower, killing is supreme.
"Not attacking Da Haguai, not making the occupation of cities the primary goal, but rather annihilating the enemy's living forces as much as possible is the right choice."
Family Joy pointed to the holographic map and said
"In this region, there are three infantry battalions and one armored company of Cuban forces; they are a rotating force under the third armed brigade and familiar with the environment in this area. If we allow them to remain active for long, it will greatly impact our future military objectives.
Therefore, fully utilizing our mobility to wage mobile warfare and find ways to annihilate their living forces and break the blockade is the primary goal, rather than capturing cities.
As long as we at least eliminate two of the battalions, causing the entire frontline to collapse, then the entire Sapata Peninsula to Pig Bay will be a blank slate in terms of military forces, expanding our range of activities greatly, we can go wherever we want.
Even Naventura would become an isolated city, and we can take it whenever we wish.
Most importantly, if we can achieve a great victory, this defeat will severely damage Havana's prestige in Cuba, greatly benefiting our future political work..."
Family Joy explained the entire battle arrangement to Wildman and his group in detail, and the players said nothing, sitting honestly on the benches, nodding like students, and listening carefully.
Probably they were never this attentive even in their college classes.
The Commander-in-Chief exclaimed
"This strategy is simply brilliant, first taking down Hokuma with a lightning strike, then releasing information through channels about attacking Da Haguai, frightening the defenders in Da Haguai and Naventura to stay put inside the city not daring to fight back, and might even mobilize other peripheral units for defense
By then these troops would detach from the already built positions, and might even widen the gap between them due to differences in location and mobility, using this time gap, Sword Saint and the Truth Department could make a comeback, outflank and encircle one of the units, and then after quickly eliminating it move on to the next one.
Awesome, truly awesome."
They didn't know what to say, they could only express their inner amazement with this phrase due to lack of words.
Using rather limited intelligence to wage information and psychological warfare, weaving reality with illusion to maneuver enemy forces by their hands, then defeating them one by one.
Tactical Pig even stepped forward with an [Electronic Furong Wang] to offer to Family Joy 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Boss, may I ask where you are currently employed?"
Family Joy didn't take the cigarette, but instead looked at Tactical Pig with a subtle expression
"You want to know?"
Tactical Pig hurriedly shook his head
"Cough... Never mind, I don't want to, don't want to know."
