More and more information was being gathered from the frontlines. Due to the characteristics of the fog that blocked information, the ten countries had formed an express intelligence team with each other long before they entered the foggy area. The existence of this team was specifically to transmit information between the ten countries. But honestly speaking, this kind of information transmission was quite outdated and very inaccurate. Not to mention other things, how would you know the location of other countries' troops other than your own country? Were they advancing or retreating? If they continued to search like this, they would die.
But as the last resort, they had no choice but to use this backward method of communication. Chu Hao and the others received all kinds of information one after another as they moved forward.
It had been nearly three hours since the first unit entered the foggy area. The speed of their advance was slower than expected. The key was that the monsters in the fog had begun to counterattack, and it was an organized counterattack. The first to be attacked was the Russian army. They retreated in a state of utter defeat until they met up with the Australian army behind them. Only then did they manage to stop the momentum of their defeat, but they found that the monster tide that attacked them had disappeared.
Next, the French army also encountered the same monster horde attack. However, the French army's heavy armored troops finally stopped the monster horde attack. But after that, before they could engage in any follow-up battle with the monster horde, the monster horde disappeared into the fog …
"Obviously, the enemy has discovered that our communication and reconnaissance in the fog are not good. We're blind and deaf here, and they plan to take advantage of the fog to attack us one by one!"
An old staff officer slammed the table with his hand. He was considered a high-ranking and influential person in the US military, and he was also capable enough. This time, he had a vote in the six-pronged attack strategy, so the current situation was like a slap to his face. This made him so angry that he wanted to rush to the front line with his gun.
Another equally old staff officer shook his head, pointed at the map, and said, "Judging from the situation where they still have the strength to fight back after the two armies were defeated, there shouldn't be too many attacking monsters. At most, there should be tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of them, and most of them should be mutated spiders, large flies, and giant mantises. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just defeating them. The intelligence also mentioned that a large number of monsters showed an increase in temperature, physical fitness, strength, and speed. This should be a certain degree of stimulation of strength, and it probably won't last too long. But now, it's giving us too much pressure."
The rest of the staff officers chimed in. They were all experienced staff officers. They knew the situation on the battlefield at a glance and could even imagine what the enemy was planning to do. But it was a pity that knowing was one thing and solving it was another. At least for now, it seemed like the current predicament was almost unsolvable.
Chu Hao stared at the map for a long time. After a long time, he said quietly, "The enemy doesn't know of our existence, and they probably don't have a large-scale detection method."
Everyone around him was stunned. One of the staff officers asked curiously, "Oh? Why do you say that? If the people in the Mist World don't have detection technology, then how did they find each of our armies, and how did they hide those monsters in the mist? "
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "The intelligent creatures in the Mist World do have large-scale detection technology. This has been confirmed in the future, but when the first invasion began, the records of this period had already disappeared in the future. Even the Savior couldn't recall it. He could only piece together fragmented memories, so we don't know if the current vanguard team in the Mist World has large-scale detection technology in the mist. We can only investigate based on the current situation …"
"First of all, the monster horde attacked the army that advanced the fastest and went the furthest into the mist. Although it might be a little inappropriate to say this … it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten. If the person commanding the monster army had some military knowledge, they could have lured the Russian and French armies deep into the mist, and then surrounded and annihilated them with the advantage of the monsters' numbers. In the case of a close-range attack, humans can't compare with these monsters. In this case, we might have completely lost two armies, instead of knowing about the appearance of the monster army and being able to set up a defense in advance. This is the first."
"The second is us. No matter how you look at it, our team is very unique. This huge nuclear warhead is proof of that. If the vanguard of the fog world had the ability to search for monsters in a large area, we would have been exposed a long time ago. With the fog, they could have controlled the monsters to weave through the gaps between the armies and launch a surprise attack on us." That way, all of our plans would have failed, but they didn't do that. Based on the above three points, I think that the vanguard of the fog world doesn't have the ability to search for monsters in a large area. It's more likely that they know where the monsters have been killed, and with that location as the center, they can deduce the situation of the entire battlefield. This is also the reason why the Russian and French armies were attacked first. "
The rest of the staff officers also gathered around and listened to Chu Hao's analysis. They looked at the map and studied the possibility. After waiting for a while, most of these staff officers finally confirmed this possibility. In view of this possibility, many of the staff officers came up with some plans to adjust the troops. They were also planning a counterattack strategy.
In terms of war tactics, this was actually Chu Hao's old profession. He was actually the best at this, so when the staff officers discussed military plans, he was really like a fish in water. The staff officers and officers around him also admired him more and more. These people all thought in their hearts that Chu Hao was indeed an old general who returned from the future. He had experienced hundreds of battles, and his intuition on the battlefield was so terrifying. With this kind of thinking, Chu Hao gradually gained some kind of dominant position. At least, his words made the American army pay more attention to them.
"… The basic situation is like this. At present, the information between the enemy and us is asymmetrical, resulting in the current situation. If you have played some of the real-time strategy games of your era, then the current situation is the so-called fog of war. Between the two sides, one side has opened the permanent fog of war, while the other side has explored the situation where the fog of war does not exist. However, the other side does not have a global view. This is basically a blind chess game."
"We are playing chess with our eyes closed. We can only rely on memory for the overall situation, and we can't see the other side's chess pieces. On the other hand, the other side is playing chess with their eyes open. They can see the chess pieces that we have already moved. The overall situation is very disadvantageous for us, but we also have an advantage. We currently have more chess pieces than the other side, and the other side can only see the chess pieces that we have already moved. They can't see the chess pieces that we have hidden and which move we plan to make next.
So, under this situation … "Chu Hao patted the area between the Russian army, the French army, and the Z country army that was currently in front of the American army. He then said," Then why don't we change our disadvantage to our advantage? How about we play a big game here? "
"Change our disadvantage to our advantage?"
The surrounding officers were obviously a little confused. One of the staff officers asked curiously, "I can understand that it's disadvantageous. It's just that with the current fog of war, may I ask, how can we change our disadvantage?"
"At least, the morale of the new army soldiers won't drop and collapse because of the monster tide in front of them, right? By the time they realize it, they will already be on the battlefield. At that time, other than fighting, we don't have to worry about the collapse of morale in a short period of time, right? Actually, this is also considered our advantage, "Chu Hao said.
The officers didn't say anything for a long time. Although it wasn't very nice to hear that soldiers were treated as expendable goods, those who could sit here and plan war strategies had long surpassed the level of cannon fodder. They could better understand the saying that the merciful shouldn't command soldiers. In modern warfare, when the scale of the war reached a certain extent, the so-called death toll was just a number. All soldiers were really expendable goods in the eyes of the higher-ups. This saying was also applicable in the current war.
"… So, if we just fight with human lives, we won't even be able to find the enemy. But if we don't treat human lives as human lives, in this place, we only need to … do this. Next, let's see what the people in the foggy world plan to do. Is it just to stall for time, or to wipe us out …"
Chu Hao raised his hand from a certain spot on the map. He had already put on the flat glasses that he took out from his arms at some point. The words he said just now were said while wearing the flat glasses. So, these words were flat, cold, and emotionless, as if he was a chess player who really ignored all life. And in this state, he did not make the staff officers or officers panic or fear. Instead, he made them feel a sense of awe. It was probably similar to the kind of admiration that soldiers who had not participated in the war had for the veteran's indifference to life and death.
"The basic situation is like this. Now … let's fight back."
