Chen Xin's judgment still had some errors because the upper echelons indeed considered whether to use nuclear weapons.
For the upper echelons, maintaining the current front line means that soldiers will die every day, and there will also be a massive consumption of logistics supplies and ammunition, which brings heavy pressure on both the military and the state itself.
If nuclear bombs could quickly clear out the alien creatures on the battlefield, the upper echelons would be willing to use nuclear weapons.
After all, the entire Dongting Lake Area is now completely occupied by alien creatures, and under the current circumstances, even if there were no alien creatures, the lake area would still be a no-man's-land, so using nuclear weapons wouldn't have a significant impact.
