Here's the safer expanded rewrite in webnovel style, focused on tension, strategy, and command response. Source:
Kaguya moved through the darkness without a sound.
The outer logistics depot of Basa sat nearly four kilometers away from the main air base, placed far enough from civilian districts that an accident inside its fences would not swallow nearby homes with fire. Fuel, ammunition, spare parts, field rations, vehicle components, and emergency stores all passed through this place before reaching the units protecting Central Luzon. It was not glamorous. It was not symbolic. No speeches were given in front of its storage buildings, and no camera ever focused on its workers.
That made it valuable.
Wars did not run on courage alone.
They ran on fuel.
Bullets.
Food.
Radios.
Truck tires.
Generator parts.
A soldier could be brave and still become useless if his rifle had no ammunition, his vehicle had no fuel, and his command post had no power.
