"In fact, it's very simple. It's nothing more than using our resources and manpower to crush them."
What was the purpose of modern warfare?
Some people would say it was technology, some would say it was the general trend, but most people would say it was money. That's right! It was money!
Modern warfare would cost billions or even tens of billions of dollars. Did they really think that money was water? How many things could be done with billions of dollars?
In a simple calculation, let's take Chu Hao's Chinese nationality as an example. In an ordinary second or third-tier city, the average monthly salary of the working class there was about 2,000 to 3,000 RMB. This was already enough for a person to rent a house, eat, and pay for various expenses such as electricity and water bills. If they were to be thrifty, they would probably be able to save one-fifth to one-eighth of the remaining amount. However, this amount was only about 300 USD when converted to USD. Even in a first-tier city or a bustling city, where the prices were more expensive and the salary was higher, a person's monthly expenditure would only be about 600 to 700 USD at most.
Of course, this referred to the working class, not the rich. Think about it, if a person ate, drank, lived, and slept in a bustling first-tier city for a month, as long as it was not wasteful for no reason, it would only cost about 600 to 700 dollars. This included all the money needed for living expenses.
A war would cost billions or even tens of billions of dollars, and this was only the cost of dispatching troops, weapons, fuel, and logistical supplies for the army. It did not include the cost of the soldiers' deaths, the economic decline, or the destruction of buildings caused by the war.
Therefore, in the age of modern firearms, what really determined the outcome of a war was basically money and economy!
Chu Hao did not want to comment on the overall situation of the United States, but at the beginning of the 21st century, the United States was indeed the strongest country on Earth. This was beyond doubt and debate. At the same time, it was also the country with the greatest war potential. In other words, it was the richest country, and this was the biggest manifestation of this in the ten-nation coalition army.
Other than countries like Russia and Country Z, which were in different camps from the United States, although the rest of the countries had their own military systems, they were still strategic allies with the United States on the surface. Therefore, when their armies arrived this time, they were armed with all-American weaponry. Moreover, the United States was not stingy in the ten-nation coalition this time. Even against a rival like Russia, they would grant almost every request. After all, the situation this time was too serious. If the foggy world really invaded, the United States would be the first to bear the brunt of the destruction. This was something they could not bear. Therefore, the United States sincerely hoped to solve this big crisis once and for all. Therefore, in terms of armaments, they were fully armed. Not to mention other things, all kinds of weapons were piled up. As long as you could carry them, the military higher-ups wished that every soldier could carry ten heavy weapons to the battlefield.
After Chu Hao confirmed the attack method of the fog monster army, he had several ways to deal with it. One of them was naturally the best Eight Front Formation Wind Array, but there were several restrictions here. First of all, the use of the Eight Front Formation Wind Array required almost complete control of the army. Not only did it require on-the-spot command, but it also required the army to have almost absolute trust in themselves. Even if they were facing death, they must complete the positioning and battle. Even if they were facing friendly forces, they must charge forward fiercely. He did not have such control at all, and these officers would never agree to let him control the army.
This first condition was no longer fulfilled. Secondly, to use the Eight Front Formation Wind Behind Diagram, one had to be extremely sensitive to the situation. Under such a situation filled with the 'fog of war', he couldn't use the Eight Front Formation Wind Behind Diagram. This was an innate condition that didn't allow it.
Therefore, he did not intend to use the Eight Front Formation of the Wind Behind in this plan. Since the military treated him as a staff officer, he only needed to do his job well. In his planned counterattack, the most crucial point was that the enemy was only a small group of Invaders. They were severely lacking in resources and manpower. The only thing they could do was to use the monsters in the Mist World to stall for time and resist. Behind him was the whole world. Otherwise, why would he have planned such a grand scheme? Why would he launch those nuclear bombs? Why would he choose to sacrifice so many humans? Why would he choose to do such a thing? Wasn't it to crush the enemy at this moment?!
The answer was actually very simple. It was just landmines and all kinds of string trigger bombs!
Yes, the arrangement and rolling movement of the armies of the four countries was not as simple as charging forward. Instead, they were rolling according to certain directions. At the same time, the long-range troops at the rear were uniformly arranged in the central area of the advancing troops of the four countries. This way, as long as there was any movement at the front, the four countries would only have a few passageways leading to the long-range troops at the rear due to the direction of the advancing troops.
In a situation where the enemy could not see through the fog, they could only rely on the continuous deaths of the monsters under their control to distinguish the difference between the enemy's area and the safe area. These few safe passageways would inevitably be discovered by the enemy. Then, in a situation where the four-nation army had the advantage in numbers and firepower, the enemy would inevitably launch a surprise attack on the long-range troops at the rear.
However, this was a death trap!
That's right. Along the way, the armies of the four countries, through the transport of air force and supply troops from the rear, had begun to set up countless mine formations and three-dimensional detonators. They had completely disregarded the cost and the number of bombs that could be detonated. They had been on guard all along!
When the monster army defeated the long-range troops and destroyed almost all the long-range weapons, they had already fallen into this death trap. No matter which direction they retreated from, they would die. If they retreated from the mine formations and bomb formations, they would die. If they retreated from the previous safe passageway, they would meet the reinforcements of the four-nation army head-on. In a situation where the enemy could not see through the fog and could only rely on the deaths of the monster army to determine whether it was a safe passageway or not, in such an array, the enemy would find that they were surrounded by enemies in all directions. Any monsters sent out would die, and the enemy would become completely blind. They would find that this was the so-called ambush from all sides!
When Chu Hao and the other staff officers learned from the rapid-mobile intelligence personnel that the monster army had entered the death trap, a large number of staff officers cheered. Chu Hao just raised his glasses and murmured with a blank expression, "I've done my part. Now … it's your turn."
At the same time, in the central area of the fog, the calm young man standing in the middle of the formation was already covered in sweat. His fingers were faintly pressing in the void as he muttered to himself. After a while, when the sweat on his body was almost dry, he suddenly laughed. In the end, the laughter became louder and louder, causing the others to look at him in surprise.
"… So that's how it is. I was wondering, how could there be so many troops to carry out such an encirclement strategy. No matter how I calculate, the number of troops is wrong. So that's how it is … They're using this method to put me in a dead end, crushing my vanguard team with endless logistics? Good idea, good strategy. This way, they've really hit our Achilles' heel! "
"But … natives! Don't be so smug. Your civilization is so inferior. Even if we're just a vanguard team with no supplies, no backup, and no base, in terms of civilization and technology, we're far superior to you! "
The calm young man gradually stopped his roaring and laughing. He directly closed his eyes and controlled the monster army that was rushing in all directions, looking for a breakthrough. At that moment, he no longer looked for a breakthrough in the fog. Instead, he directly controlled the army to turn around and charge directly in the direction they came from. As expected, it did not take long for them to encounter the four-nation allied army. Under the frenzied attack of heavy weapons and short-range bombs, the first wave of monsters suffered heavy casualties. In just the first few minutes, twenty to thirty thousand monsters were directly wiped out.
However, at this moment, the calm young man did not retreat at all. He used the control authority of the prehistoric beasts that several people had instilled in him to force all the monsters to rush forward crazily. He also directly turned all the remaining monsters into berserk mode. It was important to know that berserk mode was actually a skill that burned one's life. Once it was used, the monsters were basically dead. It was just a final struggle before they died.
In this way, the medium-large monsters in the monster army finally rushed into the four-nation allied army. A cruel battle of blood and fire began …
After more than twenty minutes, all the monsters were wiped out, but the four-nation allied army also suffered heavy casualties. Among them, the French and Australian troops were basically beaten up badly. The entire military structure was almost destroyed. They could not be counted on for the rest of the battlefield. They could only withdraw from the fog area with the wounded of the other two countries.
The remaining Russian and Z troops were not much better. Their casualties were also extremely heavy, and their ammunition consumption was great. They had to stay in place and wait for the arrival of the U.S. troops at the rear to replenish their weapons and ammunition reserves.
More than ten minutes later, Chu Hao and the others at the headquarters learned about the entire battlefield. Most of the staff officers were silent …
What a ruthless decision …
This was their only evaluation of the intelligent creatures in the fog world. Compared to them, Chu Hao saw more information, but … this information seemed to be very bad …
