Witch containment diary

The appearance of the command room looks the same as other conference rooms, so as not to be focused on by spies.

Zhang Su's eyes fell on the round table. A three-dimensional modeling sand table was slightly glowing with blue light. The field of vision was clear and expanded, and the frontline military situation could be seen at a glance.

Here are myself, Lieutenant Colonel Moritani, Yoshio Akazawa and Kangqu. Two witches and two humans are in line with the principle of reciprocity in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Zhang Su thought.

The next thing to talk about is the attack on Hell's Gate itself, which involves a series of military tactical planning. Zhang Su couldn't help but think of the great battles in the history books. Each battle made the hearts of those who read history surge.

When he was a child, he was as passionate as any young man and dreamed of joining the ranks.

Now such an opportunity is right in front of him. He can personally intervene in the direction of a war. History will record his decision and leave it to future generations for comment.

Others must have thought so too. He saw that Akazawa Yoshio's expression became particularly heavy, not as overly excited as ten minutes ago. Jiangqu's eyes fell on the top of Kagura Mountain, as if he wanted to burn the devil with his eyes. Lieutenant Colonel Moritani was extremely serious and sorted out military affairs from a mortal perspective.

"There are two armies in the North Pacific Theater, the New Tokyo Army and the Hokkaido Army. Now, the five divisions of the New Tokyo Army, A201, A203, A205, A206, and A207, have been mobilized and standby. They will all be assembled in 7 hours. The total number of combat troops in the twelve brigade combat teams has reached 186,000, which is also the limit of combat units that the current logistics and battlefield width can carry. There are also 2,400 ground vehicles, 11,000 artillery pieces, and 21,000 robots of various types. The Air Force provides 5 wings, which can provide nearly 1,000 sorties of air force support. There are 7 'Sky Spear' decisive battle weapons, which require 30 hours to recharge." Lieutenant Colonel Moritani planned.

Thanks to the complete destruction of the Hell Forest, the human army can now make full use of the wide battlefield and spread out its troops in the abnormal space of this erosion zone.

"On the other side opposite us is the Gate of Hell itself in Mount Kagura. Legion Commander Nazmi has about 10 leader-level demons under his jurisdiction. Each leader-level demon leads about 10,000 demons. Due to our arrival , the number of demons appearing from behind the gate of hell is increasing day by day, with an increase of 50,000 to 200,000 demons of various levels approximately every 48 hours. We are currently evenly matched, but in about 7 days, the number of demons will expand to a level that we are unable to challenge. Their weapons, 'Black Star Arrows', will also start shooting at Neo-Tokyo, bringing us unparalleled pressure." Lieutenant Colonel Moritani reported.

"In other words, after 30 hours, our Sky Spear main cannon can fire. After 7 days, the number of demons will increase to millions. By then, we will be unable to defeat even if we use up all the ammunition. The window left for us is In the next seven days, the gate of hell must be sealed." Akasawa Yoshiyo looked serious.

"100,000 demons are added every day..." Although Jiangqu likes to kill demons, he also feels a little irritated. "I killed 30,000 demons in the Amazon rainforest. I hate the endless ability of demons to increase their troops. We need to close this damn door quickly."

"We have to formulate an effective attack plan." Zhang Su carefully observed the sand table and did not miss any detail.

Supported by a communication array network, the sand table flashes with real-time data streams, showing the Gate of Hell on Mount Kagurura in front of humanity.

From the current Highland 109 to the Gate of Hell on the top of the mountain, the terrain difference is about 1,000 meters, the distance is 15 kilometers, and you have to pass a huge lake of flames along the way.

The road is open and there are almost no bunkers. Once a war breaks out, both sides will be killed in mountains of blood.

Lieutenant Colonel Moritani called on military computing AI to perform calculations in the background.

"If we take the initiative to attack, we will suffer huge casualties along the way. I think we must use the range advantage of our military's technical weapons to cover the Gate of Hell with artillery at a long distance to kill its effective forces." He made a plan.

"No! How can we be timid? We must take the initiative to fight." Jiangqu firmly supports a full-scale attack, "What's more, there are countless noisy demons behind the gate of hell trying to get in. The speed of the demons we kill with cannon fire cannot keep up with the new ones." The speed at which the devil appears!”

"In addition, once a demon is killed, the soul in the body will dissipate. If there are other demons nearby, these souls will be sucked away immediately and become food for other demons, increasing their strength. It is equivalent to killing a group of demons but not killing them. Strengthening the remaining demons is just a waste of ammunition. If you want to win the demons in a large-scale war, you can only fight a war of annihilation, there is no other choice." Zhang Su said.

"These 15 kilometers are too short for artillery shells and guided bombs, but too far for infantry, armored vehicles and ground-effect aircraft. There are no bunkers along the way. What's worse is an upward attack. We will be at a disadvantage." Lieutenant Colonel Moritani Said in a deep voice.

"Yes, there is no need for us to kill people for the demons. The bombardment of our Skylance main cannon can pose a threat to the gate of hell. The demons cannot leave it alone. They will definitely come down from the mountain to attack us. Then we can just wait and see." Zejiashi said.

"No, the gate of hell is guarded by legion leader Nazmi. A high-level demon like it who is proficient in conjuration can easily repair the gate. It knows very well that time is on their side, and they will win as long as they delay it long enough. Set It's the same reason why the prison forest delays us. We only have a chance if we take the initiative." Zhang Su said.

"Don't delay, put all the troops in one go, advance desperately with the support of the war witches, air force and superior firepower, rush to the bottom of the mountain and kill all the demons there, and then let my sister perform the ritual to completely suppress the hell. That's the door! This is the only way I know to win. We have won this way in the South Pacific, the Amazon rainforest, and Australia and New Zealand. Let's try our best this time!" Jiangqu said bravely.

"Then let's vote. Those who agree with Plan A: a strong attack will raise their hands. Those who agree with Plan B: suppressing firepower will put their hands down." Zhang Su said.

Both he and Jiangqu supported an all-out attack. Yoshiyo Akazawa and Lieutenant Colonel Moritani tend to use human weapons technology to consume demons.

"Two against two, the Joint Chiefs of Staff cannot end and the discussion needs to continue." Lieutenant Colonel Moritani greeted them.

"You can't wait until my sister comes. Make a decision quickly! You two! Why don't you want to attack?" Jiangqu said angrily.

"Let AI calculate it first." Seeing that there was no agreement, Zhang Su proposed to calculate the potential risks in detail.

He and Jiangqu planned the attack path and decided to besiege Mount Kaguraku from different directions. Most of the troops would be deployed on the front line at the beginning of the war, and they would push the gate of hell quickly at any cost.

"Yes." Lieutenant Colonel Moritani followed their plan and asked the AI ​​to simulate the war process.

The battle AI currently used is the intelligent model "Ba" owned by Sun Group. It obeyed the instructions and started the deduction.

Their eyes fell on the visual calculation panel, wanting to know the shape of the war.

Human beings have high hopes for artificial intelligence. AI sometimes displays intelligence that is more advanced than humans themselves, and may become a technology that they can use to overtake demons in corners.

"...At 05:33 on September 10, the offensive began, implementing an integrated air-ground offensive.

At 06:57 on September 10, he fought against 4 leader-level demons and 70,000 middle- and lower-level demons on the shore of the lava lake.

At 11:04 on September 10, the Magma Lakeside area was captured, with a total loss of 33,000..."

Zhang Su observed a large amount of data calculations, and the chess pieces in the sandbox moved quickly, exchanging casualties, and simulating the battlefield situation.

The neural network architecture of "Ba" is very sophisticated. It performs calculations based on all battle data between humans and demons over the past 200 years, and combines it with measured terrain data on the battlefield to model weapon systems, shooting trajectories, demon power, terrain obstacles, physical endurance and other data. , the simulation degree is extremely high.

Each time it is run, it calculates the specific actions of humans and demons in detail, while adding a large number of random numbers to simulate many uncertain risks in actual situations.

In other words, in just ten seconds, Tomoe had fought tens of thousands of battles on Mount Kaguraku for them.

"How? I can't understand these things." Jiangqu was dazzled by the sight, and the battle reports quickly switched and disappeared like a waterfall.

Many chess pieces will be destroyed with a bang, especially in the first few hours of the battle, and the road to the gate of hell will be piled with corpses.

"To put it simply, if we take the initiative, it will result in an average of 67% casualties, complete losses of vehicles, equipment and robots, 3 of the 5 divisions will be annihilated, and 10 of the 14 brigade combat teams will be wiped out. Destroyed." Lieutenant Colonel Moritani said solemnly.

"Look, countless people will die, and the casualties will be heavy!" Yoshio Akazawa turned around, "We came to Kagura Mountain with these soldiers, but two of the three people will die in the battle. Even if we win, the loss will be unacceptable. Therefore, the quick attack strategy still needs to be carefully reconsidered!”

"Is it difficult to accept?" Lieutenant Colonel Moritani turned his head, with an unexpected perseverance in his eyes, "Isn't this calculation satisfactory enough? If its plan is correct, not only can we annihilate more than 200,000 demons, Seal the gates of hell, and one out of every three soldiers will survive!"

Akazawa Yoshiyo pursed her lips.

"Eh?... If that's the case, then I too..." She took a deep breath, and then nodded.

"Then it's decided! Push the war to the extreme, complete the decisive battle in front of you, take the initiative to push it to the gate of hell, and drive out all the demons! No one will be left behind!" Jiangqu's morale was high, and he was very eager to fight a wonderful battle.

"Then, those who support the attack plan please vote." Zhang Su looked around the room and saw the raised arms, "Okay, the number of people in favor: 4. I, Commander Jiangqu, Lieutenant Colonel Moritani, and Pioneer Officer Yoshiyo Akazawa, will authorize The troops at the lower level will launch a full-scale offensive when the first round of shooting of the 'Sky Spear' weapon is fully charged, completely break through the Hell Gate of Mount Kagura and complete the entire battle. Now let's distribute the combat orders to specific combat units, this is The last battle.”
