The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Secondly, there's the mechanized forces that are giving everyone such a headache. They're primarily composed of heavy tanks and armored vehicles."

Wu Zhongwen continued with the previous topic, wanting to take this opportunity to talk about the advantages of the Independence Army so as to facilitate the subsequent discussion.

"A heavily armored tank ignores the threat of bullets and ordinary artillery shells. Unless your heavy artillery can hit it on the head, no one can defeat this iron bastard."

"During the Wu-Yue Campaign, when this thing first appeared, it stole the show. In one night, it pushed down two lines of defense and penetrated the central army camp, giving the brothers a fright."

When talking about last year's battle, Wu Zhongwen still found it difficult to calm down his excited mood. He leaned on the table and looked down at everyone's stiff expressions, and concluded.

"So, from these points, we can clearly see the advantages of the Independence Army. They have strong firepower and powerful mechanized forces. They rely entirely on strength and speed to win."

"The mechanized frontal forces leave no gaps, and the front-line push tactics are daunting. Ordinary tactics are simply incapable of resisting!"

"Yes, what Mr. Wu said makes sense. The enemy tanks were marching through scorched earth and bomb craters. You waited for the artillery fire to subside, and as soon as you showed your head, they had already rushed to the front of the position."

In response to this issue, Sun Yat-sen was the first to respond.

Recently, he has been hit by a combination of punches from the Independence Army. There are artillery shells above his head and tanks in front of him. He dare not show his head at all and can only hide in the trenches and passively take the beating.

"In close combat, tanks not only possess exceptional defense-breaking capabilities, but can also serve as cover for enemy fighters. Their coordinated infantry-tank tactics are incredibly well-executed."

"The tanks cover the infantry, and the infantry clear the obstacles right under their noses. The combined effect of the two is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. The speed of advancement is ridiculously fast, and there is no ability to resist!"

"cough……"

After listening for a long time, Zhang Kui and others were deeply moved, and a hint of anxiety appeared in their eyes. Then they turned their gaze to Wu Zhongwen again and asked.

"Mr. Wu, you just talked about the strengths and weaknesses of the Independence Army. Now that you've covered the strengths, could you please tell us about the weaknesses you've discovered?"

"Okay, since everyone is so interested, I'll just give a few words. As for whether it makes sense, that's up to you all."

Wu Zhongwen was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. It didn't matter if he couldn't win. As long as he was willing to learn, analyze, and try research, there would definitely be a chance.

Before coming, he was afraid that these people would not make progress, and would still maintain a lazy attitude and do things perfunctorily.

It now seems that the threat posed by the independence army is far more severe than they imagined, and has made these guys who have been in high positions for a long time realize the urgent sense of crisis.

This is a good thing. The fact that they have a sense of crisis means that this group of people can still be saved and they don't have the idea of ​​giving up.

"As I mentioned earlier, the Independence Army's most striking feature is its fierce artillery firepower. In a head-on confrontation, we have no chance of winning or any advantage."

"But there is one thing I hope everyone can think clearly about."

Wu Zhongwen returned to the map again, picked up a pencil, drew a long route on it, and introduced it softly.

"As everyone knows, the Central Plains Campaign has only been going on for less than two weeks. Although the Independence Army has already occupied most of the terrain and cities, they definitely haven't had enough time to rebuild the infrastructure."

"That is to say, the weapons and ammunition they are using now, including the artillery shells flying back and forth every day, must be supplied from within the three provinces of Donglu."

Having said that, Wu Zhongwen drew a new line on the map, pointing directly to the Shangdu city.

"Such a massive logistical undertaking cannot be accomplished by car. We can only use the only railway line from Qizhou West to Shangdu."

"This route is over 400 kilometers long. Based on the speed of the train, fully loaded with ammunition, it will take at least eight hours to travel!"

At this point, everyone in the room seemed to have understood his intention, but when they thought about the situation in Shangdu and Donglu, they felt that this plan was a bit ridiculous.

Nowadays, the entire logistics and transportation routes of the Independence Army are in their own hands. Even if they want to hijack a car or blow up a railway, it is probably difficult for them to accomplish this difficult task.

"So, Mr. Wu wants to blow up the railway? Or perhaps blow up their freight trains?"

Zhang Kui was considerate enough to take over at this critical moment to avoid a dull silence.

"That's right, but given the current situation, there will definitely be some difficulties in implementing this plan. After all, the Independence Army is not stupid and will also think of this."

Wu Zhongwen didn't keep the secret any longer, returned to his seat and spoke with great determination.

"So, I've decided to mobilize secret agents within Donglu to destroy this railway within the province. Even if it only delays them for ten days or half a month, it'll be enough to buy us some breathing space!"

"Secret personnel!?"

Before anyone else could react, Sun Chuanfang looked at Wu Zhongwen in surprise and asked.

"Where did this secret person come from? Why haven't I heard about this?"

"Haha, no one knows about this. I've been operating alone all along."

Wu Zhongwen picked up the teacup in front of him and smiled calmly.

"Mr. Wu, this is not a joke. Are you sure you can pull it off?"

Zhang Kui noticed the expressions of the two and confirmed seriously with narrowed eyes.

"If we can use this to delay the Independence Army's logistical supply, it will play a crucial role in the entire war situation."

"I'm not a joking person. If Mr. Zhang doesn't believe me, we can sign a military order. If you fail to complete the mission, you will chop off my head!"

Wu Zhongwen met everyone's questioning gazes and assured them fearlessly.

Ever since Zhang Ye rose to power last year, he began to arrange an infiltration plan. All the special agents entering Donglu were his old Wu's confidants.

If he can't even accomplish this, then half of his life will have been lived in vain!

"That's no problem. Once we get rid of the enemy artillery fire, the only thing left is the formidable heavy armored brigade. It won't be that difficult for everyone to deal with it."

Zhang Kui's confidence increased instantly, and his tense expression was temporarily relieved.

As long as there is no artillery attack, tanks are just tough nut to crack. The worst that can happen is that they will just take some effort and cost human lives.

"Don't worry, I have ways to deal with the tank."

Just when everyone was feeling overjoyed, Wu Zhongwen threw out another trump card.

"I brought some good stuff with me this time. As long as we use them properly, we can easily take out Zhang Ye's mechanized army!"
