Chapter 1410 More Equipment Than People
"Get the hell out of here and kneel outside!!"
Faced with the reprimand from Huang Guoqing, the political director of the division, normally Li Guangzhong would have already run out and knelt down in a sorry state.
However, at this moment, Li Guangzhong's expression was extremely calm, silent as if his heart had died...
He looked up and met Huang Guoqing's almost fiery gaze.
The voice was not loud, it could even be described as very low, but every word was clearly heard by everyone present.
"I visited Zhou Bang's base in Pingxiang."
"The city was filled with all sorts of equipment I'd never seen before: heavy tanks, medium tanks, light tanks, tracked wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, 122mm and 155mm self-propelled guns, and even 380mm long-range rocket launchers..."
Li Guangzhong paused, seemingly recalling something.
"There are also many, many military vehicles whose purpose I don't even recognize. The number of these vehicles is more than the number of people in our entire division. They are parked all over Pingxiang City, densely packed!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Guoqing, the director of the division's political department, stopped, his fingers frozen in mid-air as if frozen, neither putting them down nor picking them up, visibly bent.
"Damn, more equipment than the 2nd Division?!"
However, Li Guangzhong paid no attention to Huang Guoqing's reaction at this moment, and continued to mutter as if in a trance:
"Their soldiers, whether on guard duty, patrolling, or driving, were all tall and sturdy, with no pale faces and no fear in their eyes. They wore uniform camouflage, thick and brightly colored, unlike ours, which were faded and patched up."
"Their equipment... I saw it with my own eyes. A regular soldier's tactical vest, helmet, night vision goggles, communication headset, and rifle—all of them were brand new. I didn't recognize the model of the rifle; it wasn't their standard equipment from before the apocalypse."
Li Guangzhong's voice remained calm, but every word struck the heart of everyone present like a heavy hammer.
"Their command center was as advanced as in an American blockbuster movie, filled with computers and monitors, displaying data that I couldn't understand."
"The front is a screen as big as a wall, an entire wall! It has everything on it: maps, data, footage from drones, all updated in real time, and it's all very clear."
Li Guangzhong looked at Huang Guoqing.
Huang Guoqing's mouth opened slightly, and his original angry expression was replaced by an indescribable look.
"Director Huang, you just said that those metal lumps of theirs can't get in."
Li Guangzhong's voice remained calm, but at this moment, that calmness carried a hint of...sorrow.
"Do you know what's on that big screen in their command center?"
Huang Guoqing did not answer.
"It's us."
"It's the 2nd Division!"
"It's our division headquarters, our garrison, all our camps—the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the artillery positions, the logistics warehouses, even..."
"There are even a few locations that I, as a staff officer at the 2nd Division headquarters, am only now aware of!!!"
"It's all on top!!!"
By the end, Li Guangzhong was practically shouting, his emotions clearly on the verge of collapse.
This shows just how impactful this trip to Pingxiang was for this proud son of the emperor, who graduated from the top military academy of the Yue Kingdom!
His worldview is completely shattered!
Li Guangzhong's hoarse voice continued, but after a brief outburst, it clearly faded away.
“It’s clearly marked; each red dot corresponds to a specific location. By double-clicking a red dot, they can access real-time monitoring footage—taken by a drone, clearly visible from the sky.”
"I saw it with my own eyes. It was one of the positions of the 3rd Company of our 2nd Regiment. There were three soldiers sleeping in the trench. One of them was dozing off against the wall. And there was another one..."
Li Guangzhong recalled the man who had his buttocks scratched, then suddenly stopped, falling silent. With his pause, the conference room became eerily quiet.
Huang Guoqing, who had just been furious, now seemed to have had his spine removed, and slowly sat back down in his chair.
His face was no longer flushed, but deathly pale, and in that paleness was a hint of inexplicable...fear.
However, after a brief pause, Li Guangzhong did not stop his execution of the psychological defenses of the attending division commanders:
"Commander Hu personally pointed to the electronic map and told me that they had deployed more than 400 artillery pieces, and that the number was still increasing!"
"They can precisely cover all the defensive positions of our 2nd Division. As soon as we make the slightest move, they will open fire immediately and wipe us out completely!"
"122 mm, 155 mm, and even... there are even 380 mm ones!"
"Three hundred and eighty millimeters?!"
Upon hearing this exaggerated statement, Chief of Staff Wu Wenshan abruptly raised his head, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.
"That...that's a naval cannon, isn't it?! Does Zhou Bang have cannons that big??"
Li Guangzhong glanced at him.
"They're definitely not artillery pieces, but modular rocket launchers. They probably have close to a hundred of these rocket launcher vehicles..."
380mm modular rocket launcher vehicles... there are... nearly a hundred of them?! Are they going to fight the 2nd Division or the entire Vietnamese Empire?!
Upon hearing the numbers from Le Quang Trung, even Division Commander Nguyen Van Hung couldn't help but shudder.
What's the difference between this and having a 380mm gun pointed at your head?
"A volley of fire..."
Wu Wenshan murmured repeatedly, the color draining from his face little by little.
"Four hundred cannons, firing in a single salvo..."
He lowered his head, looking at the tattered map on the table, at the locations of his troops marked on it—the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the artillery positions, the logistics warehouse, the division headquarters…
Suddenly, he shivered violently.
It was as if one could already see countless shells raining down from the sky, tearing those small circles and squares, along with the people inside, into pieces.
Everyone present froze, as if struck by lightning.
At this moment, Huang Guoqing's mouth was open, but he couldn't make a sound.
Deputy Division Commander Chen Mingde suddenly stood up and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the cave entrance, as if a shell would penetrate the ten-meter-thick mountain and explode above their heads in the next second.
The other regimental-level commanders were deathly pale, some even trembling slightly.
A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over everyone, rising from their tailbone and spreading to their limbs and bones, gripping their hearts tightly and making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
Before this, they thought that war would be the same as they were familiar with, that the enemy would rush in from the border, that they could rely on the mountains to resist step by step, and that if all else failed, they could continue to retreat to the south.
But the reality is...
The war was over before it even began.
On the large screen in the other side's command center, in the real-time monitoring footage, in the pre-marked coordinates and priorities—
It was over before they even knew it.
