"If we're talking about it, the tactical exposition by Bai Zhizhan is indeed the exciting part," said one officer.
All combat operations revolved around enticing and forcing the Newland Navy to defend Guan Island staunchly, turning it into a meat grinder for the Newland Army.
They definitely couldn't directly attack Guam.
The first step was divided into three directions and executed simultaneously.
To the west, the Navy deployed the First Fleet to support and assist the Army in capturing Nanzhu Country.
This course of action didn't need much elaboration. Regardless of whether they attacked Guan Island or not, capturing Nanzhu Country was essential for tightly controlling the Flame Sea.
In the center, the Navy set out from the Volcanic Islands and headed south to take one of the islands in the North Ma Islands.
The reasoning was simple—it would serve as a stepping stone for attacking Guam.
