Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 412 Xie Linchuan's Breakthrough Plan

As night fell, moonlight shone across the dilapidated camp, illuminating a scene of devastation. While yesterday's fierce fighting had ended, everyone knew the real war was far from over. The exhausted soldiers quietly rested within the camp, some busying themselves cleaning their equipment, while others sat silently around the fire, occasionally huddled in whispers and soft sighs.

However, Ye Wan knew that although the temporary crisis had passed, the next challenge might be even more severe than yesterday's. She was sitting in the tent, key routes marked on the map in front of her, while Xie Linchuan stood across from her, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Wan'er," Xie Linchuan suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "I have a new plan."

Ye Wan raised her head, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Speak."

Xie Linchuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The enemy's next wave of attack is expected to be very fierce. We are short of manpower on the front battlefield and it will be difficult to hold on. If the front line of defense is breached, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The only way now is to break the enemy's line and disrupt their plans."

Ye Wan frowned slightly. Her intuition told her that Xie Linchuan's words made sense, but she immediately asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Linchuan took a deep breath, his eyes determined. "I will lead an elite squad to break out from the enemy's flank and strike directly at their rear. This will distract the enemy's main force and buy time for our frontal defense."

Ye Wan's brows remained furrowed. She knew full well that this action was extremely risky. After all, the enemy's main force had already assembled, and the battlefield ahead was under immense pressure. If the breakout failed, the consequences would be disastrous. Furthermore, the enemy might have already sensed Ye Wan's team's tactical intentions and would undoubtedly be on high alert.

"How many people do you want to bring?" Ye Wan pondered for a moment and asked.

"Ten men," Xie Linchuan replied, a flicker of unquestionable determination in his eyes. "I'll bring ten of our most elite men to attack the enemy's rear. This is a quick assault. The goal isn't to completely annihilate the enemy, but to create confusion and disrupt their deployment, buying time for your defense."

"Do you think you can succeed?" Ye Wan asked again, her eyes sharp.

Xie Linchuan lowered his head slightly, his voice more resolute: "I have confidence. Our goal is not to fight to the death, but to take advantage of the enemy's negligence and cause them chaos."

Ye Wan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, I agree with your plan."

She knew Xie Linchuan's plan wasn't without risk, but in the current situation, it was the only proactive offensive they could take. Even if the plan failed, they could still gain important tactical information. If successful, the enemy would surely be thrown into disarray, greatly reducing the pressure on the front lines.

"Then how do you need us to cooperate?" Ye Wan asked.

"I need you to hold your position on the front. No matter how the enemy attacks, you must hold on. Try to delay the enemy's attack and give me enough time. If I can't return on time, you must retreat as planned." Xie Linchuan's voice was solemn. "Remember, this is a high-risk operation. I can't guarantee 100% success. Be prepared for the worst."

Ye Wan nodded, a glint of determination in her eyes. "Understood. I will ensure that our front lines are not breached." Her tone became calm and steady. "However, regardless of whether you succeed or not, I will not give up and will not let you fight alone."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to break through successfully." Xie Linchuan's eyes were firm, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You will always be my backer, Ye Wan."

A warm feeling surged in Ye Wan's heart. She raised her head and her eyes met Xie Linchuan's. The moment they looked at each other, it seemed as if they had found each other's faith in this land dyed red by smoke and blood.

Plan arrangement and preparation

Although Xie Linchuan's plan had been approved by Ye Wan, its actual implementation still required careful deployment and thorough preparation. As a commander, Ye Wan knew that every detail could affect the success or failure of the operation. Therefore, after agreeing to implement the plan, she immediately summoned the core members for an intense pre-battle preparation.

"Tang Yuan, you're responsible for defending the front lines. You must keep a close eye on the enemy's movements." Ye Wan pointed to several key locations on the map. "We must maintain our positions and not give the enemy any chance to break through."

Tang Yuan puffed out his chest and nodded, accepting the mission without hesitation: "Don't worry, Captain. We will be as solid as a wall, and no enemy will be able to break through easily."

"Zhang Yan, Lin Ze, you're responsible for clearing obstacles on the battlefield and ensuring we have enough space for maneuver." Ye Wan continued to assign tasks, her tone revealing an unquestionable firmness. "The battle will be fierce, and things could change at any time."

Zhang Yan and Lin Ze exchanged a glance and quickly agreed, "Understood, Captain!"

She looked around again, making sure every member understood their mission, then turned to look at Xie Linchuan: "Are you ready?"

Xie Linchuan calmly sorted out his equipment and nodded, his expression still relaxed: "Stand by at any time." He smiled at Ye Wan, "I believe we can succeed."

At this moment, all tension and pressure were deeply suppressed, replaced by an invisible force that flowed through each team member like an electric current. Everyone knew that the action at this moment would change the entire battle situation, and their fate would be closely linked to Xie Linchuan's breakthrough plan.

Determination to break through

Under the cover of night, the camp stood like a beast poised to strike, silent yet powerful. Xie Linchuan led his elite squad, fully equipped, ready to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's flank. They quietly left the camp, crossed a dense forest, and advanced towards the enemy's rear.

Ye Wan stood on the platform, watching their backs and praying silently. She knew that Xie Linchuan and his team were about to face an extremely dangerous battle, and they might not even survive. However, as a commander, she couldn't let any emotion affect her decision-making. Her only responsibility was to fully support them and ensure they could successfully complete their mission.

She looked around. All the team members were already in their respective positions, ready for battle. As the night deepened, the atmosphere of battle grew more intense. Ye Wan took a deep breath and returned her gaze to the distant enemy positions, silently repeating a single belief in her heart: "I must succeed."

No matter what, she will protect this home until the last moment.
