"Are you really going to do this, Dingle?"

In the command room of Port Brulo, Harbaugh looked at Dingle with a frown.

"Well, let's do this." Dingle pointed at the map on the wooden stand with a wooden stick in his hand and continued:

"Rigel and Klein have led their troops to the Macedonian Military Factory. I think this is a wise decision. The Macedonian Military Factory is not only a military factory, but also an important strategic location for us. We cannot afford to lose it. After the Yan people land at Foster Port, they will definitely build a landing base around Foster Port to provide security conditions for more troops to enter the country."

Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened. Although Foster Port was not as big as Brulo Port, after falling into the hands of the Yan people who had better weapons, the smaller port meant that they could carry out a more concentrated defense, and the difficulty of retaking Foster Port would increase accordingly.

Dingle went on to say:

"But after they occupy Foster Port, they will not take the huge risk to attack our port. It's not worth it. But if they really want to attack, we don't have much to do. But Foster Port has already fallen, so we should focus our forces on the Yan people who have entered the country."

"That's why I said we should send our current troops to other places." At this point, Dingle set his eyes on Lieutenant General Harbaugh's face.

Harbaugh still frowned, and he immediately asked: "But the place you are talking about is not Port Foster. At this time, shouldn't we go and take back Port Foster?"

This was also the question that others had, because Dingle said that he would completely abandon Port Foster and no longer fight for it.

In response to Lieutenant General Harbaugh's question, Dingle explained:

"Because it's useless."

"Port Foster will definitely be heavily guarded by the Yan people. If we attack, we will be fighting against their strongest force. Not to mention whether we can recapture it, even if we recapture Port Foster at the cost of huge casualties, they can just retreat to the sea. And what will they do after returning to the sea where they have already gained control of the sea?" Dinggel asked Harbo.

Lieutenant General Harbaugh rubbed his temple and said, "Planning the next attack, and...it may not be in Port Foster. They may go to other ports."

Dinger nodded and said, "Yes, one of the three ports has been captured. If we drive them out of Foster Port, we will be in a passive position again and our forces will have to be dispersed again. Then we will be exhausted from dealing with their attacks."

"Instead of this, why not let Port Foster be their landing place? We also have a clear goal."

"After the Yan people have found a landing point, we can also roughly judge what they will do next."

Having said that, Dingle pointed the stick in his hand at the Macedonian military factory marked on the map.

"This will become their goal. If they fight aggressively, in addition to defending Foster Harbor, they will also send troops to attack the Macedonian military factory 20 kilometers away."

Dinger's face darkened, he looked around at everyone, and then said in a cold voice:

"And what we have to do is to gather our forces and annihilate the troops sent by the Yan people from Foster Port!"

"Before we capture the Macedonian military factory, where will the Yan people, who are advancing in depth, have any positions to defend? Their combat power will be weakened, while we have more combat conditions."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood.

In positional warfare, the attacking side is always at a disadvantage, and attacking the heavily guarded Foster Port will undoubtedly require a huge price, and it will definitely be an extremely difficult offensive. If attacking an advancing enemy, then there will be no such thing as positional warfare, and the enemy's advantage will undoubtedly be weakened.

Dingle went on to say:

"The Macedonian Military Factory itself has armed forces, and the head of the factory, Lieutenant General Davis, is an excellent commander. I believe that with his command ability, after learning that Port Foster has fallen, he will decisively and quickly command the workers to set up defenses and turn the Macedonian Military Factory into a position and a military base with a large number of weapons."

Hearing this, Harbo held his chin and said, "Are you so sure?"

Before Dingle spoke, an officer said to Harbaugh in a relaxed tone: "Lieutenant General Davis once served in the Salvian Military Academy. If I remember correctly... the Chief of Staff graduated from the Salvian Military Academy." He shifted his gaze to Dingle's face.

Dingle nodded slowly and said calmly, "Yes, Colonel, you are not mistaken."

"Lieutenant General Davis was one of my teachers at the academy."

"He possesses excellent leadership and command abilities, so I am certain that the Macedonian military factory will become an important position to stop the enemy under his defense."

"Well, now everyone should clearly understand what we are going to do next."

Lieutenant General Habo no longer had any doubts and continued, "I understand. The Macedonian military factory will become a new position. If the enemy sets its sights there for attack, we will strike the enemy from the rear during the attack."

Dinger hummed, and then said: "Yes, we must gather all the available forces to carry out annihilation operations against the enemy and eliminate as many of their active forces as possible."

"Even if Foster Port falls into their hands, as long as we eliminate the enemy soldiers coming out of Foster Port, and then wait for the support troops from the follow-up military districts to arrive, we can recapture the port in one fell swoop and drive out all the Yan people."

"But all of this is based on the successful defense of the Macedonian military factory. Our first support troops have already rushed there. I hope they can arrive before the Yan army."

As soon as the voice fell, Harbo said in a deep voice: "What if the Yan army moves faster and has already launched an attack on the Macedonian military factory?"

Dinger was silent for two breaths, and then said:

"Then we can only rely on the defense of the military factory itself. However, I think even if the Yan army fights swiftly, it will not be able to capture it in a short time."

"The longer the Macedonian military factories hold out, the clearer the situation becomes for us."

"But our marching speed must be as fast as possible. All the troops currently in Port Brulo must be sent out to fight. Only in this way can we have the strength to fight a decisive battle."

Harbo nodded and continued, "This is to consume the incoming troops before more Yanjun troops land at Foster Port..."

Before he finished speaking, Dinger interrupted him coldly: "It's not consumption, it's elimination."

"Instead of engaging in a painless tug-of-war with them, we need to disrupt their offensive plan with a large-scale annihilation war next."

After he finished speaking, Harbo said in a deep voice: "If the Macedonian military factory can not only hold on, but also organize troops to counterattack, then our attack from the rear of the enemy will respond to it at the same time, and the enemy will be attacked from both sides. Then, this will become a siege war."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone present lit up. After a whole night of blows, their spirits had already fallen into depression, but at this moment they gradually gained confidence.

But it was only for a moment, and what Dingle said next was undoubtedly a bucket of cold water on him.

"That's a bit too optimistic. The Yan people are not weak."

"It's already good enough that we can hold the Macedonian military factory and give us time to launch an attack from the enemy's rear. Don't expect too much."

"Maybe it really works?" Harbaugh winked at Dingle.

Dingle pursed his lips and said, "That couldn't be better."

The officers' solemn expressions relaxed a lot after hearing this, but Dinger continued:

"Alright, everyone. Time is running out. We must set off immediately to the new battlefield!"

"The next battle will firstly relieve the danger of the Macedonian military factory, and secondly determine whether we can annihilate enough of the enemy's manpower!"

"Let the Yan people feel the combat effectiveness of our army! This time, we must try our best!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked excited, and the low morale in the meeting room was swept away.
