Chapter 464: Opportunity to Take Over Yucheng

"Air support?"

After hearing this request, the first thing Gu Chengyuan thought about was not whether to help or not, but the shortcomings of the 77th Corps.

Since you are asking for something, there must be something missing!

Other intelligence about the 77th Legion is not known yet, but its air power must be very weak, otherwise it would not have to send ground troops south, and even pin its hopes on itself who is far away in Yezhou!

While thinking about this in his mind, Gu Chengyuan, who was originally hesitant about the next step of troop exchange, immediately became clear-headed.

When knowing the opponent's weaknesses, the first thing to do is to develop asymmetric force, so as to form sufficient deterrence.

Although we can't see anything right now, but showing strength appropriately is good for everyone, especially it can help keep the other party sober when they are hot-headed.

You must know that interactions between people are always based on strength, even among family and friends.

Obviously, Gu Chengyuan, who holds the system, does not want to be reduced to a foil in the next contact with the 77th Legion, so he must come up with something that others do not have, so that he can gain the upper hand in the formal communication!

In addition to gaining the initiative in communication with the 77th Corps, the Air Assault Brigade has more than one role to play.

From the request of the 77th Corps this time, Gu Chengyuan also saw the disadvantages brought about by a single type of army, that is, when complex situations arise, the troops often appear to be inflexible!

"Quick response and full-area mobility" is the characteristic of the air assault brigade. It can ignore most terrains and provide rapid support.

The heavy armored combined brigade is certainly very powerful, but its ground marching speed and responsiveness are definitely not as good as flying in the air.

Moreover, considering the current loose distribution of its own forces, it does need such a sufficiently powerful rapid response support force.

With the air assault brigade's cruising speed of about 300KM per hour, it can quickly respond, support, suppress and strike against both the Prime Minister's gathering place and the Chongyi gathering place within 1 hour!

The emergence of the Airborne Assault Brigade will greatly strengthen Gu Chengyuan's protection and control over his forces!

...

"System, check the total amount of money!"

Hey~

Money: 6138212

As the post-war cleanup process in Xishui District gradually came to an end, Gu Chengyuan's money finally accumulated to more than 600 million, and he was only short of the last 100 million yuan to exchange for the Air Assault Brigade.

If nothing goes wrong, the last one million dollars will be made up from the proceeds from the zombie brain cores delivered this afternoon!

In other words, Gu Chengyuan’s Airborne Assault Brigade can be redeemed before 12: midnight tonight at the latest!

"Light is strong!"

"To!"

Hearing the leader's call, Pu Guangqiang, who was sitting in the corner reading a book, immediately stood up like a spring. His serious expression hid his slightly swollen face.

"Guangqiang? Have you gained weight recently?" Gu Chengyuan stared at Pu Guangqiang's "fat face" with a playful look.

"You used to be so skinny and dark, but now you're all fat and strong, huh?"

Hehe ~

Pu Guangqiang's face turned red when he heard this, and he smiled awkwardly with a funny and flattering expression:

"Commander, you are really good at judging people!"

"I'm indeed a little bit fatter, just a little bit~" Pu Guangqiang said while stretching out his thumb and index finger to make a gap.

Seeing Pu Guangqiang's funny look, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"Stop talking bullshit!"

"Although your role as security guard is getting smaller and smaller now, you are representing my reputation when you go out with me!"

"When others see this, they're like, damn, the guard is fatter than me, the leader. How can this be justified?"

Facing Gu Chengyuan's questioning, Pu Guangqiang said awkwardly: "It's outrageous, outrageous..."

After the joke, Gu Chengyuan's tone became serious:

"I don't ask you to improve your skills, but you must keep your body shape and appearance under control. Do you want to train yourself, or should I send you to the grassroots to train?"

As a service soldier who had accompanied him since he was a humble man, Gu Chengyuan was extremely generous to Pu Guangqiang and had basically no special requirements for his abilities.

Unlike other security personnel, Pu Guangqiang did not need to stand guard or be on alert. He only needed to stay with Gu Chengyuan to run errands and get meals. He could read books, slack off, or do anything else in the rest of the time. Gu Chengyuan made almost no requirements on this.

The main reason for this situation, apart from the deep affection between the two, is the structural changes in Gu Chengyuan's own security forces.

Nowadays, the security of Gu Chengyuan's travels is the responsibility of the Guard Service Battalion. Every time he travels, the security force is no less than a platoon of soldiers. This is the reason why Gu Chengyuan dares to let Pu Guangqiang slack off as a guard.

Now, Pu Guangqiang provides more emotional value to Gu Chengyuan than security.

Otherwise, with Gu Chengyuan's current level, even if he chooses a guard from the Spark Commando, he has to choose a soldier at the king level. How could he allow a fat guard to be by his side?

"Commander, I choose to train on my own! I promise to train well!" When Pu Guangqiang heard that Gu Chengyuan was going to send him to the grassroots, he couldn't help but sound a little anxious.

Gu Chengyuan's words shocked him. Of course, he knew that with the relationship between him and his superiors, he would have more opportunities if he went to the grassroots!

Even though Jia Sanniu, Lu Chong and the like are now far ahead of Pu Guangqiang, in terms of upper limit, as long as Pu Guangqiang is willing to go on and not die, there are really few people who can compare to him.

Unfortunately, Pu Guangqiang is not interested in this. The only thing he wants is to stay by Gu Chengyuan's side forever. Asking him to leave Gu Chengyuan and go to the grassroots for training is even more painful than punishing him.

"Hahaha, fine. Then I'll see how you perform. I'll give you a week. I want to see changes!"

"Go to the office next door and call Zhou Guihong over! Then go to the activity room and weigh yourself. Tell me the exact weight you have now. I want to supervise it personally!"

Pu Guangqiang's useless appearance did not disappoint Gu Chengyuan, but made him very happy.

In fact, sometimes leaders are like parents. They want to cultivate you and hope that you will become better, but they don’t want you to look like you can’t wait to leave.

People are emotional, so you should talk more about emotions and less about rationality with your leaders...

"Yes!"

Gu Chengyuan's words made Pu Guangqiang happy. Although losing weight was uncomfortable, it was much better than being demoted to the grassroots level. Moreover, he could let the leader personally supervise his weight loss. This honor would be quite explosive for the entire Yezhou Province's army, right?

I, Pu Guangqiang, even care about my leader’s weight loss. What can you compare with me?

..

Boom boom boom!

"report!"

Not long after Pu Guangqiang left happily, Zhou Guihong knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

After hearing the knock on the door, Gu Chengyuan put down the pen he was practicing calligraphy. As the saying goes, a person's handwriting reflects his character. Due to his free and easy personality, Gu Chengyuan's handwriting has been very sloppy since he was a child. Every stroke has his own ideas and cannot fit into the grid.

This was naturally nothing in the past. No matter how ugly the handwriting was, it was just self-admiration and harmless.

But now that he has become the head of the Night Province Army, not only do he have many opportunities to sign, but the signed documents will also be distributed to units at all levels across the province.

If his handwriting becomes as ugly as before, it will greatly damage his image as a leader. After all, Gu Chengyuan doesn't want anyone to criticize his ugly handwriting behind his back.

So now when Gu Chengyuan has nothing to do, he will practice his calligraphy. It can only be said that it is really good not to have a mobile phone, as he has more time to do real work and improve himself.

"Guihong, have the agency reply to the Spark Commando and tell them that they agree to provide air support to the 77th Army, but the time is up to us, so let's set it for tomorrow afternoon!"

"Yes!"

"Also, send a telegram to Chongyi Military Sub-district Commander Zhu Jun!"

At this point, Gu Chengyuan raised his hand and glanced at his tactical watch:

12:44

"Order the Chongyi Military Sub-district to recapture the Chongyi Airport before 20: tonight and prepare to welcome the Air Assault Brigade!"

The air assault brigade has a range of about 500KM. If it wants to attack Zhanjiang District, it is definitely not possible to start from the night market. It still has to use Chongyi City as a springboard.

Gu Chengyuan already knew about the temporary airport at the Chongyi gathering place. It was only the size of an ordinary square. It was OK for accommodating a helicopter fleet, but it was far from enough to accommodate an air assault brigade with up to 6000 people, 160 helicopters of various types, and several ground armed vehicles!

Taking all the above reasons into consideration, it is imperative to capture Chongyi City Airport. In addition to obtaining the airport for helicopter takeoff and landing, a large amount of aviation fuel can also be obtained as a supply!

In addition, this move also involves Gu Chengyuan’s ambition!

The establishment of a military airport in Chongyi City is not only convenient for providing air support to Zhanjiang District, but also for rapid response to Yucheng.

As the saying goes, wait and see, and act when the time is right!

Gu Chengyuan had previously deduced the 77th Corps' strategic intention to move north into Sichuan from its troop distribution.

So the question is, who will fill the power vacuum left behind by the departure of the 77th Legion?

Putting aside the difficulty of recovering it, Yucheng is the number one industrial city in the southwest region!

If we can really achieve this, it means we will be able to produce huge amounts of industrial products continuously, and it will not be an exaggeration to say that the supply of materials will take off directly!

As for whether the 77th Corps would withdraw completely, Gu Chengyuan was not worried. For some comparison, Shu Province might be much easier than Yucheng, but no matter how easy it was, it would never be as easy as a toy.

If the 77th Corps wants to make a breakthrough in Shu Province, it will have to use all its strength. In the worst case, the main force will be mobilized, and at most some militia will be left behind to maintain order.

But in any case, the control over Yucheng will be reduced to an unprecedented level.

By then, I will have a strong army and march north. Who can stop me?
