Chapter 73 Assigning Tasks

"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?" It was Zhong Quan who spoke.

He is the leader of the 2nd Squadron, 10th Group, and belongs to the veteran mecha division that came with the new recruits.

Among the ten people in Jiang Lou's second squadron, only Li Xin and Feng Dai were his old subordinates, and the others were new additions.

Feng Dai is the leader of the sixth group, and Li Xin is the leader of the seventh group.

Jiang Lou opened the large map in front of him and said, "This time, our squadron has been chosen to launch the third wave of attack!"

"The first and fifth squadrons are the first and second waves of attack respectively."

"As for the third and fourth squadrons, their mission is to conduct blocking operations on the periphery."

Feng Dai heard this and said, "Looking at it this way, the missions of the third and fourth squadrons seem to be better!"

Jiang Lou also nodded and said, "Their mission is good, but not as good as imagined."

"Intelligence has discovered five entrances to the Behemoth Steel Works from the outside. Their two squadrons need to first assault and capture the enemy's outer positions, then hold their ground here while we capture the entire interior of the Behemoth Steel Works."

"In order to continue to occupy the Behemoth Steel Works, the enemy will definitely send reinforcements by any means necessary, so the battle will be fierce."

"Looking at it this way, we are really lucky. The third wave of attack has given these new recruits time to adapt to the battlefield environment." said Nong Shuang, the leader of the first group.

The others nodded silently.

At this time, every extra minute or second would be good for the new recruits.

At least before going to the battlefield, you can feel the atmosphere and relieve the pressure in your heart.

Jiang Lou nodded to the projection in front of him and continued, "Alright, let's begin the formal combat meeting!"

"Yes! Captain!" the team leaders responded in unison.

At Jiang Lou's signal, the 3D map of the Behemoth Steel Plant in front of him began to stretch and expand.

And the buildings on the surface gradually disappeared, leaving only a few route maps leading to the underground entrances.

The entire Behemoth Steel Works seemed to have been dissected.

Jiang Lou pointed at the map in front of him and said, "The area below the Behemoth Steel Plant is divided into four major areas, A, B, C, and D. Each area is further subdivided, such as A1 to A4!"

"So, there are a total of sixteen underground areas beneath the steel plant."

"Each area is a large underground space, about 40 meters high. It's more than enough for our mechas to unleash their combat capabilities!"

"Each of these underground spaces is connected by several large passages. The entire underground network of passages extends in all directions. This must be a heavily fortified area by the enemy."

"Among these webways, the widest is over a hundred meters, and the narrowest is thirty-five meters. It's not impossible for a mecha to pass through!"

"Our immediate enemy is the underground C Zone. The missions of the two squadrons ahead are to capture C1 and C2, respectively. Our mission is to capture C3."

"Of course, this is only the first wave of missions. The subsequent situation will depend on how the battle develops."

"Now, open the map of area C3 and study it carefully."

The 3D underground structure diagram of the Behemoth Steel Plant instantly enlarged.

The C3 area is very large, which means it can accommodate enough enemies.

Area C3 was originally a large foundry. The metal equipment here is very large and sturdy, and can serve as a very strong defensive building.

However, this type of large-scale casting equipment also has an advantage, that is, the passages between them are spacious enough because they need to transport raw materials and finished products.

Some low equipment in the area, such as conveyor belts, had already been completely destroyed in the previous rounds of fighting, and now there are probably only some broken ruins left.

There are a total of four passages in the C3 area, two in the front and two in the back. The width of these passages is 50 meters and the height is more than 30 meters.

The size of this passage is also easy for mechas to pass through.

Jiang Lou pointed to the passage ahead of Area C3 and said, "Our attack should begin from these two passages ahead. These two passages are passages 24 and 25."

"Behind the C3 area are passages 26 and 27. The enemy can use these two passages to reinforce and retreat."

"If we want to enter the C3 area and officially start the battle, then the two passages ahead are where we need to pay attention."

"If the enemy commander is not a fool, he will definitely deploy heavy troops to guard this place."

"Who are the troops cooperating with us?" asked Han Zhong, the leader of the eighth group.

"Cooperating with us are an infantry battalion from Heng'an Defense and a company of deer hunters."

"Didn't the group support the infantry and armored troops? Why didn't they give us some of the troops?" Feng Dai sighed.

"It's a mess here underground. The group's reinforcements are fighting underground, and they're no different from Heng'an Defense's infantry."

"On the contrary, their blocking mission on the periphery can play a greater role." Jiang Lou explained briefly.

"Now let's assign combat tasks!" Jiang Lou said seriously.

The other team leaders were now sitting upright, waiting for the assignment.

"Groups one to four, your mission is to attack first and penetrate the enemy's passages 23 and 24, allowing the troops to enter area C3 directly!"

"Yes! Captain!" Nong Shuang, Yang Haokuang, You Mingjun, and Hou Jingwei answered in unison.

The four of them are the team leaders of the first to fourth groups respectively.

"Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Teams, your mission is to quickly capture a suitable defensive stronghold after entering Area C3 and establish a defensive position here!"

"We need to gain a foothold here!"

"Yes! Captain!" Qian Xu, Feng Dai, Tong Yu, and Zhong Quan also responded loudly.

They are the fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth group leaders respectively.

"Finally, it's the seventh and eighth groups. You two groups, as the reserve team, will follow me and be ready for battle at any time!" Jiang Lou finally looked at Li Xin.

"Yes! Captain!" Li Xin and Han Zhong shouted.

Li Xin is the leader of Group 7, while Han Zhong is the leader of Group 8.

"Alright, the situation in Area C3 is definitely different now. Information regarding the area's underground structure has been distributed to your chips."

"Start now, study this information carefully. In half an hour, we'll begin the war chess simulation!"

"I don't want anyone to be unaware of the structure of this area later!"

"yes!"
