Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign

However.

This was not the only thing that confused everyone.

Inside the meeting room.

Chu Yao and the Blue Star netizens in the live stream had just digested the news that 'the principal of the Whampoa flew from Nanjing to Nanchang to oversee the battle' when the regiment commander threw another bombshell:

"According to the orders from above,"

"My unit will be under the 'Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force's Nanchang Garrison', led by Officer Lu Diping for unified command and coordination."

"This time, not even a fly is allowed to get out!"

The discussion arose.

The meeting room was abuzz with NPCs talking about what use this 'Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force's Nanchang Garrison' was.

Unified command?

Isn't it already?

These low-ranking company commanders weren't quite aware of the squabbles above them.

In fact, even the few divisions around were at odds with each other and struggled to cooperate.

That's why this was created for unified command.

And Chu Yao and the Blue Star viewers in the live stream were already flipping through maps in confusion:

"Isn't it?"

"Is there sea in Nanchang?"

"Isn't this an inland city?"

"Where's the sea, land, and air discussed?"

Looking at the map, it's all mountains, where's the sea?

Aside from the winding tributaries of the Gan River, the screen is filled with hills marked at over 500 meters above sea level. Those few rivers are somewhat related to water, but not enough to say they are the sea.

Sea-land-air garrison.

It does sound impressive.

Barrage comments in the live stream were flowing:

[Goodness, they started commanding the whole scene at this time already.]

[Where's the sea in Nanchang?]

[Sea-land-air is ridiculous; does the 'Republic' even have planes now?]

[There's only an army, right?]

[No...doesn't he realize his own level???]

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream were confused; this type of command began at this time.

This Whampoa principal, do they have substance or not?

The Blue Star viewers were also baffled by this Whampoa principal's operation.

After all, during the previous 'Federation military exercise', this Whampoa principal's macro management was weaker than the Whampoa's fourth-period students, now he's pulling this stunt.

For a moment, the Blue Star viewers couldn't make a clear judgment.

Given the situation during the [Liaoshen Campaign] when no one could match the huge army command by days in advance...

What's happening now?

The same front-line micro-management.

Just switched targets; Blue Star viewers know less about the red side.

For a moment, the result was uncertain.

The game forum was bustling with discussions, one of the hot threads was:

"Rational Discussion: Is the Whampoa principal's micro-management effective?"

Below was a multitude of opinions.

1st floor:

"Main poster, don't blindly criticize, even Nanjing's side here could beat a crowd of warlords, so it should have some real stuff."

2nd floor:

"What's the real stuff? Wasn't the Central Plains War mediation by Zhang Xueliang? Forget how badly they were beaten in the third stage of the previous 'Federation military exercise' [Liaoshen Campaign]."

3rd floor:

"Hard to say, there's very little intelligence on the red side now, what if the Whampoa principal does pull off something crafty?"

4th floor:

"A tactical genius or just a fancy giveaway?! Stay tuned!"

5th floor:

"No? Mate upstairs, who told you to explain?"

6th floor:

"I think it's risky, red side's command could trigger the golden-colored [Autumn Harvest Uprising] plot card level big shots."

7th floor:

"Upstairs is outdated, Whampoa's principal can trigger too, yesterday someone triggered a gold-purple plot card [Xi'an Incident] from him."

Opinions varied within the thread.

Some believed it would be successful; after all, it's the Whampoa principal.

The Whampoa military academy has produced so many famous generals; even if he can't fare well later in the [Liaoshen Campaign], it's still early stages for the red side.

This principal's micro-management should be useful, visible from the unified command, which consolidates the command authority into a single person.

It can significantly prevent issues in attack smoothness due to personal squabbles and grudges among the commanding officers of various units below.

Those thinking it wouldn't work believed.

It's all flashy moves, likely similar to the [Liaoshen Campaign] ten years later.

After all, this is an inland area here.

A glance shows no hills below 500 meters.

Creating something like 'Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force's Nanchang Garrison', isn't that flashy?

But how it really goes depends on the next battles.

They couldn't conclude anything from the discussion; the advancement of the in-game scenario would show.

In Chu Yao's side.

The day after the meeting, orders for the troops to move out were received.

Heading towards the direction of Shicheng to block the red side's power retreating east, and it's not just this.

Two days later.

After gathering all the information, Chu Yao hung up a large map in the live stream.

On it were the orders issued after the establishment of the 'Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force's Nanchang Garrison', indicating the intention to completely encircle the red side's forces.

Chu Yao looked at the map, smacked his lips:

"Just landed with a major action, this troop rally."

"The 56th Division and 49th Division block the southeastern gap."

"The 60th Division, 61st Division, and 12th Division block the southwestern gap."

"Overall, forming a large encirclement."

"Then the main northern force, the 18th Division, 50th Division, and newly formed 5th Division attack Donggu, Longgang from three directions for a second encirclement."

"Goodness, a tight trap."

Even the Blue Star netizens in the live stream had to admit, the plan, no matter how you look at it, didn't have any major flaws.
