"Our suggestion is to implement a scorched earth policy and evacuate everyone to live in the suburbs temporarily," Wang Xu proposed.
"However, by doing so, the enemy loses their target, and if they give up on continuing their harassment, then wouldn't our prior arrangements be in vain? After some time when we let the civilians return, if they come to harass again, won't we still face the situation where we can't discriminate friend from foe and are unable to fire?" someone voiced their concern worriedly.
"That's right, we need to annihilate the enemy's living forces, on the one hand to deter others who dare invade, and on the other to give Lipei's citizens an explanation. Simply driving them away is definitely useless; these people definitely need to see some blood before they'll behave," Lin Wei agreed with a nod.
