Although we have the support of amphibious landing boats, Shire's flanking insertion combat plan still carries a lot of uncertainty.
Pointing to the sea to the east, Shire said, "Once the enemy detects our amphibious landing boats' insertion in time, they might use machine guns and artillery to suppress them comprehensively. This would be devastating for the landing boats."
