Just as Jiao Qiao was about to lose his temper, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes looking towards him obliquely in front of him. He immediately took a deep breath of anger and continued to briefly explain the current situation and specific difficulties to Zhou Yuan.
"Minister Jiao, until now, do you still think that the southward plan made by the staff department can be tried? It has been messed up before it even arrived in Wuhan. No matter in terms of manpower, material resources or intelligence, we are far from ready. Well. You as Secretary of Arms can't always be a peacemaker for the lives of Union soldiers."
Zhou Yuan understood Jiao Qiao's explanation, and believed that it was not perfunctory. The discussion about wild dogs ended here.However, there is still one thing that must be struck while the iron is hot, lest some people forget the pain when their scars heal, and find excuses to continue going south without learning the lesson of this time.
Chapter 873 Breakthrough Successfully
"I said Zhou Yuan, do you think he is still alive and will be able to regain power immediately after he comes back? Forget it, even if he is really alive, he can return to the throne smoothly. Maybe he is more radical than Pan Wenxiang. By then Will you still fight with reason like you do now?"
It's a pity that Jiao Qiao heard these words not only as a kind reminder, but also because he thought too much. Ever since he knew that Hong Tao might be alive, this woman jumped up and down like a chicken blood.If it wasn't for He Wanjun's resolute obstruction and control of the absolute leadership of Team X, she would have crossed the river to the front line together.
Why this happened, Jiao Qiao also heard from Lin Na privately that this woman seemed to have further developed with Hong Tao in Xinjiang Province.This damn thing just wants to take advantage of the situation and become the empress empress!Pooh, don't say that Hong Tao can't, even if he really can, he won't look at the height of her eyebrows.
"...I don't mind if you insist on thinking this way, but the facts are right in front of you. The alliance does not yet have the strength to go south and eat others in one go. As for why Xinjiang Province is willing to merge, you can save him after he comes back. Ask yourself.
Although Sun Dacheng didn't say it clearly, I think he was responsible for the incident in Xinjiang Province.If it is up to us to use military means to suppress it, within three to five years, thousands of people will not die, so don't even think about it.
This is still assuming that the Southwest Alliance and the Southeast Alliance do not intervene. Once they really figure it out, they don’t need to send troops to Xinjiang provinces. They just need to cross the Huaihe River to the north, or send troops to threaten Chang’an. "
Hearing something in Jiao Qiao's words, Zhou Yuan immediately raised her eyebrows and launched a counterattack.In the past, Gao Tianyi made her look down on this the most. With a little bit of power in his hands, he immediately didn't know how many bowls of dry rice he would eat.In the end, after a big circle, Jiao Qiao, who was quite peaceful at first, wanted to change in that direction, and he really couldn't bear it.
"Report!" Before Jiao Qiao could respond, a staff officer came over with a telegram.
"...Hmph, let's take a look!" After receiving the telegram and looking at it for a few moments, Jiao Qiao smiled slightly, and handed it to Zhou Yuan casually.
"Order! The special operations group approached Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang according to the backup plan, and all the air force transport planes lifted off, looking for concentrated zombies along the vertical line to the south of the reservoir to bomb. Tell Niu Dafu not to fight, as long as the people are rescued, move east immediately .Oh yes, we must protect Team X!"
Then he loudly issued the order to carry out the next stage of operations. After speaking, he didn't look at Zhou Yuan, walked to the side of the map with his hands behind his back, and got together with the two air force squadron leaders.
"I hope I'm just worrying about it..." Zhou Yuan didn't say anything more this time, she was not a messy person, and the telegram in her hand clearly stated that the main force of the 8th regiment had successfully broken through and was marching northward.
In other words, Team X worked, and the rescue plan formulated by the military was at least half successful.If you still blaspheme and accuse others of negligence at this time, let alone Jiao Qiao, the officers below will also have to be impatient.
But she always felt that something was wrong, looked around, only He Wanjun and Lin Na could communicate, so she simply walked over and showed them the telegram.
"Concerned about it, it will be dark, and it will be dark in another 3 hours. Do you need to go to rest first? I will send someone to notify you in time when there is news." Lin Na watched quickly, and she was not surprised by the result.
If nearly one-third of the troops and half of the air force are concentrated, and they are still unable to fight against the living corpses and zombie swarms, then it is not a question of who is in command. The military must immediately abandon all bases south of the Yellow River and retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River. Get ready to fend off the second massive wave of zombies.
"..." He Wanjun looked faster, then said nothing, turned around and sat down, using the high-power radio she carried with her to contact Team X.Jiao Qiao can only give orders to the army, not the X team, she has to issue orders herself.
On the north side of the dam of Gugang Reservoir, Yang Ming stood on the infantry chariot, watched the carriage of the transportation company whizzing by, and let out a long breath.He finally escaped from birth. This encounter will be remembered forever. If he participates in the clean-up operation again, he will definitely not easily fall into the siege of living corpses.
"Damn it, it's really a child of a living corpse..." Thinking of being rescued, he had to look at the blue and white light infantry vehicle not far to the east.But after only a few glances, he quickly put down the binoculars, shaking his head, not knowing what to say.
The living corpses standing on the roof were indeed two children. Not only were they tall like children, but their expressions and immature faces could not be completely changed even if their heads were shaved and electrodes were attached.
So far, the East Asian Alliance has controlled more than half of northern China from east to west, and has captured and killed hundreds of living corpses. As long as there are records, it has not been heard that one of them is a child.
Originally thought that the child would not be able to become a living corpse due to his weak body and immature brain. Now this guess will be shattered by the reality. Not only will there be a living corpse of a child, but there will be two of them at once!
"Captain, why do I think they don't look like living corpses? You pay close attention to their heads. Not only do the heads of the living corpses have adzes on the front, they also protrude from the back, like monsters with big heads. These two look the same as ten-year-olds. There is no difference between children, except that the black eyes are too small."
The guard platoon leader on one side was also a veteran. He had seen the appearance of a living corpse before, and when he heard the muttering in his mouth, he thought he was talking to him, so he immediately gave a different opinion.
"Maybe it will change after growing up... It's done, drive away from this ghost place quickly, and report to Brigadier Niu that our regiment has all evacuated from the dam." Yang Ming raised his binoculars and looked over there again. , just in time to catch up with a little living corpse who turned his face and met his eyes.
Although there are still about 400 meters away, it feels as if he is right in front of his eyes. The eyes are very uncomfortable, as if he is being stared at by the god of death.At this moment, the last carriage also drove past. Yang Ming didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and got into the chariot.
"Brigade Commander, the main force of the 8th Regiment has all left the dam and is marching towards the highway. Commander Yang sent a message to ask if you have any other arrangements." When the 8th Regiment successfully broke through the news, Niu Dafu's command vehicle had already arrived. Follow Team X across the northern end of the dam first.
"I arranged for him to attack south together, can it be done? If you run for your life, you will run for your life. Talking so much nonsense is useless! Don't pay attention to them, Ergui, take out our treasure, and listen to the car in front of you. What are you talking about!"
In fact, there was no need to report, Niu Dafu could also see the soldiers of the 8th Regiment lining up and running eastward, and made a pertinent evaluation in his heart.Among other things, just talking about the discipline at this time, the 8th Regiment is more elite than most of the soldiers in the [-]st Reserve Brigade.
After several days of siege, not only did the army look neat, the queues were orderly, and weapons and ammunition were not given up when breaking out, but soldiers carrying mortar parts could be seen from time to time.
It looks simple, but in fact, if you want to achieve this level, training alone is far from enough, you must go through the baptism of actual combat again and again, and at the same time, the commander must lead by example, and don't panic first when encountering problems.
But Niu Dafu never praised other people's army, no matter how good he was, he would call it rubbish.Now he didn't want to face Yang Ming either. The main force for saving people was not the troops he led. In the final analysis, he was at most a bodyguard. He had nothing to boast about, and he didn't need others to be grateful.
Niu Dafu was full of infinite curiosity about the lonely infantry chariot in front of him.He must have seen a living corpse, more than once, and it couldn't be closer.After careful observation for the previous few hours, I had the same doubts as the guard platoon leader Yang Ming.
Those two little living corpses were too unlike living corpses. Apart from their looks, they could communicate with the two adults behind them from time to time.Jiao Si, raised by Hong Tao back then, could also understand some human languages, but he was far from communicating, let alone pointing out where to call.
In order to understand Kaixin's confusion, Niu Dafu is going to use some unruly methods.When he took office in the First Reserve Brigade, although he didn't bring the original brigade team with him, he brought the guard platoon with him.These people are all his direct descendants in the first brigade, and they won't talk too much about doing something out of the ordinary.
Chapter 874 Accidents in Accidents
The platoon leader behind heard the brigade commander's order and took out a rectangular tin shell box from the corner without hesitation.After opening it, I pulled out a rectangular package with sharp edges and corners, and a battery box.
From the outside, this package has been around for a long time. The synthetic fabric has been worn and washed, and the color has faded in many places, and the four corners are even worn thin.The battery box had obviously been disassembled more than once, and it was tightly tied with wire and cloth straps after it couldn't be fixed, which was a bit crude.
"...Brigade Commander, the man surnamed Yang is reporting to the headquarters!" The platoon leader of the guard opened the package, revealing a single-soldier communication system equipped by the US military. Staring at the equipment intently, there will soon be a harvest.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, see if you can hear what the car said to the outside world. It's not under the control of the headquarters, let's see what you can do!" Niu Dafu waved his hand impatiently, pointing to the front .
When the plane transporting the X team arrived at Minggang Airport, he asked people from the Air Force, but he didn't ask anything.It wasn't that they were hiding it, but that the runway was closed, and no one knew what was in the plane. They only saw Zhou Yuan, Lin Na, He Wanjun and a few strangers in combat uniforms who were obviously not soldiers.
When discussing the battle plan, this mysterious X team was unexpectedly listed outside the army, and even Jiao Qiao couldn't command it.The officers present all clicked their tongues secretly, but also full of curiosity.
It's a pity that they didn't have the opportunity to get in close contact, and in fact, they didn't have the opportunity either.But we have high technology, this high technology obtained from the US embassy is said to be able to eavesdrop and decode all radio communication signals within a radius of 1 kilometer.
After trying it, I found that the old beauty is too modest, it is far more than one kilometer, if there is no cover, it can receive very clearly within 3 kilometers, and it is not too difficult to operate, so it will come in handy Well!
If you want to ask how this thing came about, the topic is a long time ago.At that time, he was just a demoted general who had just been merged from the Pingnan Army. He couldn't say that he was put on small shoes everywhere, and he couldn't get any important positions. He just muddled along with the idea of earning a living every day.
But the approach of the zombie wave gave him, a fringe figure, a short chance.In order to resist the attack of the zombie tide, Hong Tao mobilized all the people who could carry guns into battle, regardless of gender. As one of the few generals who had confronted large-scale zombies head-on, Niu Dafu also gained a very important position. .
For the convenience of communication, the few individual soldier communication terminals at that time were distributed to several important defense hubs, including the overpass where Niu Dafu was located.
The battle was not only fierce but also a bit chaotic. The defense line moved back again and again. During the retreat, the user of this set of equipment changed hands again and again. If it wasn't for Niu Dafu who was not afraid of getting tired and memorized it, he would probably have thrown it on the Fourth Ring Road or the Third Ring Road. somewhere in the ring.
For several days after the war, people were immersed in the joy of narrow escape and the misfortune of their relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms. At that time, there was no perfect military logistics department, and no one thought about how to calculate the losses.
Anyway, if you can resist the zombie army and keep the hard-won base, it doesn’t matter if all the weapons, ammunition, and materials are destroyed. The big deal is to collect them again. As long as there are people, there are good things everywhere.
Originally, Niu Dafu didn't intend to keep this useless thing, but what happened afterwards made him unable to think too much.First came the sad news of his younger brother's sacrifice, and then various departments began to rectify and reform. After some busy work, when he had time to organize his things, he discovered that there was an extra thing in his backpack.
Since no one is chasing after it, why bother chasing it back.Although I don't know how to use it, the function of this thing has gradually been understood with the service time and job promotion.I have to say that it is a good thing, and it is quite rare.
"Brigade Commander, Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang is on the phone with the headquarters, they seem to be able to see us!" After listening for a while, the X team's signal was not received, but they found Zhang Ke's radio station by mistake.
"Here, let me listen!" This time Niu Dafu was impatient, and reached out to put the earphones on his ears and listened carefully.
"Grandpa Hong is right across from me. He said that the movement of the zombie group is very strange, let us be careful in ambush. In addition, he asked me to ask you if there are any signs of wild dogs in the zombie group.
Uncle Jiao, this time I was really not guessing. I was hunted down by the Blue Devil squad when I was retreating. Grandpa Hong even killed a mutated wild dog with his own hands.It is preliminarily concluded that this kind of wild dog is very likely to have the ability to replace the living corpses to command the zombie group. If they are not found, the situation will not be good! "
Zhang Ke was talking to Jiao Qiao, and it was not on the channel specified by the headquarters.Niu Dafu didn't care about this. Although his uncle and nephew were not related by blood, they had already put on a pair of panties, which was recognized.
But in the content of this call, Niu Dafu heard a very shocking address, Grandpa Hong!You must know that Zhang Ke has called two people grandpa since he was a child, one is Sun Jianshe and the other is Hong Tao.What is Grandpa Hong right across from him, and he wants to inquire about wild dogs!
"Isn't he dead!?" The first thought that flashed into his mind scared Niu Dafu enough.If Hong Tao hadn't died, why did he pretend the plane crashed and leave?Or the one who fell to death wasn't him!
That's not right, if you didn't fall to your death, why didn't you show up for so many years?We must know that the crash site is not far from Chang'an, and it is easy to find with Hong Tao's ability.Even if you are injured, you will not be able to travel long distances for a while, but what kind of injury needs to be repaired for nearly ten years, it doesn't make sense!
"Brigade Commander, the headquarters asked if any unusual wild dogs were found during the attack?" At this time, the guard received a new instruction from the vehicle radio.
"Tell them I don't have time to count wild dogs! How far is it from the target?" Niu Dafu shouted angrily when his thoughts were interrupted, but he didn't take off his earphones from the beginning to the end, and even handed over the work of measuring distance to other people.
"...About 1.5 kilometers!" The guard platoon leader opened the hatch and poked his head out to look through the binoculars, and gave an accurate answer.
"How long is it before dark?" Niu Dafu held on to the headset with one hand, without raising his head.
"...almost 2 hours!" The answer this time is not so sure, the clouds in the sky are very thick, and it is impossible to accurately calculate it from the angle of the sun.
"Tell the headquarters that we have seen the roof of the target building, whether to continue the attack or have other plans, and let them give clear instructions immediately!"
No matter how confused his mind was, Niu Dafu still did not forget the duty of the frontline commander. 2 hours should be enough time for the attack. If you retreat, you have to hurry up and stop hesitating.
"Attack, the headquarters ordered, must break through the encirclement before dark!"
"...Call the reconnaissance plane and ask them to help correct the impact of the shell! Order the heavy artillery battalion of the brigade to shoot 1000 rounds at a distance of 8 meters to the north of the target!" Niu Dafu still did not let go of the earphones, and raised half his face to look at Yuanyuan above his head. In the sky, he let out a sigh of relief and gave the order to attack.
To be honest, he really didn't want to save Hong Tao, if that guy was really still alive.Even if my eyes and my brother's death were all accidental, I didn't want that guy who was full of bad intentions and full of honey to return to the leadership of the alliance.
If Hong Tao came back, if he didn't talk about others, his good days would probably be gone forever.That guy is the best at buying people's hearts, full of benevolence, morality, fairness and reasonableness.
If there is no big difference between being an official and being a soldier, why should I take the lead in every battle and rush to the first place, because I want to win credit, then get promoted and get rich, eat and drink, and bless my children and grandchildren.
But no matter how unwilling, now he can only follow the command of the headquarters to fight the zombies desperately, and he can't obey the yin and yang.Although this army has trained more by itself, it is far from reaching the level of one mind. As long as there is a little slack, it will not be clear after the investigation.
The battlefield that had been quiet all afternoon finally woke up suddenly with the explosion of two test-fired shells.In less than 2 minutes, pieces of artillery shells fell from the sky, accurately falling behind the group of zombies, but without accidentally injuring the soldiers of the attacking special operations regiment.
Chapter 875
The group of zombies commanded by the living zombies could not be concentrated against the group of zombies commanded by Team X. Now that the vital force behind them had been severely hit, they could not be continuously replenished for a while, and the battle line was soon pushed down to the south.At this speed, it will take less than an hour to break through the encirclement.
On the roof of the building, the coachmen and soldiers also received the shelling warning, and they all left the windows on the north side. The people on the roof also lay down, mouths open and eyes staring, like big toads.
"My mother... Brother Shu, what kind of shells are these, why are they so loud!"
After finally surviving the shelling, Bungy shut his mouth quickly, and then shook his head to drive away the loud rumbling noise.In addition to compressing the eardrum, he could also clearly feel the vibration of the ground. He doubted whether the building would be knocked down if the shell was closer to 100 meters.
"It should be a large-caliber heavy artillery... Have you ever seen a cannon fired in Redeemer?" Hong Tao was not that surprised, nor was he too shocked, but he really couldn't tell the caliber of the shell, so he could only guess the range.
"Hey hey hey... I've seen it before, and I even shot it with my own hands. Mortars are only this thick..."
Bungy is a little embarrassed, he is the only one in Hu Yang who has a military background, and he is quite powerful when he says it, special forces, adjudicator!But until today, I don't know how far the Redeemer's overall strength is compared with the East Asian Alliance. Let alone the transport planes throwing bombs all over the sky, I have never seen a large-caliber heavy artillery.
"You have been a soldier for nothing these past few years...Hey, Xiao Ma, why did you get up here? After the fight, I don't think you will fight again. Go down and tell the brothers one by one, except for rations, drinking water and weapons. Ammunition, nothing extra is allowed to bring.
As long as the order to break out is issued, two people and one horse will give priority to the elderly and those with bad legs, and they will rush in the designated direction together.Remember, you and the lazy dog must be the leader and the center. Don't let everyone go in the wrong direction, and you are not allowed to run away from the team! "
Hong Tao was also thinking about things in his mind, and he didn't intend to explain the types and calibers of cannons to Ben Zhu.At this time, a head poked out from the stairs, looking north on tiptoe.Well, if you don't work hard, you won't be lazy, and if you specialize, you won't have eyes.
"Why don't you go on horseback first, we are not very old, and our legs and feet are pretty..." Xiaoma reluctantly glanced towards the north for the last time. He had never seen the scene of a heavy artillery salvo, and he really wanted to open his eyes .
"Oh, yes, after a few days as the captain, he doesn't care about heroes anymore. Is this taught by Hu Yang or Wang Gang? Not only is there no advantage in leading the team, but it is also dangerous!
Zombies can't be cleaned up that cleanly, so I asked you all to wrap your arms and legs in leather and sacks.When you rush over, the scattered zombies will be lured away, wouldn't it be safer for us to leave.Got it, don't compete with heroes, you're still young! "
No matter Xiao Ma is sincere or not, Hong Tao also appreciates it, but he can't follow through.It's not that I'm afraid of shame. To put it another way, embarrassing things can also become feats.For example, take the lead in the charge and clear the way for the brothers behind.Look, the first to escape and the first to charge are basically the same thing, it depends on who says it and how to say it.
He was worried about the Zombie Dog and the Blue Devil squad, which hadn't appeared for a long time. In the first two or three days, he could still see traces of those guys from time to time, but since last night, he couldn't see them no matter whether he used a telescope or a thermal sight. They are gone.
hidden?That is for sure.But why hide it?There is no proper answer.If the living zombie knew that the alliance was going to attack aggressively, it could only make two choices, either face hard steel, or retreat with the zombie army.
But it had no choice between the two methods. It neither charged nor retreated, but played a refueling tactic, sending upwards bit by bit.As a result, the dam was not defended, and this place seemed to have to fall too.
It's not right to say that these living corpses have low IQs. Their previous performance was not stupid in any way, which surprised me a lot.But the very smart guy suddenly became stupid, is it accidental?
Abnormal things must be demons!Hong Tao never believed in chance, or never calculated chance, and everything had to be considered in the worst possible way.When good luck comes, it can be regarded as icing on the cake, and if you catch up with a little back, you won't lose everything.
For the abnormal behavior of the living corpses, Hong Tao barely found a reason. There was a conflict among them!The evolution of living corpses can be found from Jiao Si. They rely on eating human brains and the same kind of brains to supplement the necessary energy. Whoever eats more will evolve faster.
With so many zombies, it should be difficult to control with one or two living corpses.Assuming that ten zombies collaborated in planning the raid and siege, their most exciting prize would be the brains of a thousand people.I don't know if I can eat that much, but I must eat it anyway.
The cooperation between human beings is often when no one complains and is very motivated when they are hard-working in the early stage of entrepreneurship.Once enough interests are seen, conflicts between partners are more likely to arise.A high emotional intelligence statement is due to different ideas, and a more realistic statement is an uneven distribution.
Living corpses are neither zombies nor humans, but they have many similarities with humans, and they are also derived from humans, and they must also inherit some characteristics, such as the way of walking, and the mode of thinking.
Since human beings will conflict because of interests, why should living corpses not?With thousands of brains at our fingertips, who should get how much of the spoils becomes a point of conflict of interest.Some living zombies may feel that they must pay more points for their efforts, and some living zombies may feel that they must score more points for their losses.
Then there were quarrels and even armed confrontations among the living zombies, and none of them could concentrate on directing the zombie swarm to deal with the human attack.Regardless of whether it is true or not, anyway, Hong Tao felt that he could barely stay on the sidelines, and that was the only explanation.
In fact, Hong Tao himself doesn't believe in this inference. Regardless of zombies or living corpses, as long as they face humans, they will immediately fight against each other. No matter whether they are domestic or foreign, they have never heard of living corpses and zombies.
Hong Tao would add the word "cautious" to anything he couldn't figure out.If the encirclement has been opened, and the Zombie Dog and the Blue Devil squad still do not appear, there is actually little difference between riding a horse or not riding a horse to break through.It only takes 10 minutes for the soldiers and coachmen in the two buildings to rush out.
But I won't follow them, watching them out of danger even if they have fulfilled their obligations, the Alliance should not go back.Zhang Ke has talked a lot about the intertwined state of the high-level people over the years. Just listening to it makes people feel dizzy, and only fools will take the initiative to get into it.
The work of turning the tide just sounds exciting, but in fact, no matter how you weigh the pros and cons, it will offend many people, and even suppress and get rid of some people to stabilize the situation.
After doing this, will those who profited follow faithfully?the answer is negative.They will only be happy for a short time, busy distributing benefits and adapting to new rules.
But as long as he is free, he will immediately think of the thunderous methods he used to treat others, and then he will feel chills and panic all day long, fearing that one day it will fall to his head.And the simplest and most thorough solution is to get rid of the tyrant himself, so that everyone can feel at ease.
The world doesn't turn around when you leave, and I don't have the ability to climb high and call out the mountains to respond. Instead of going back and swinging a machete at a lot of acquaintances, it may not change much in the end. It's better to continue to be a hero. Anyway, I am worthy of my conscience.
As for the Zhuma sisters, you can do whatever you want, the promise is not unconditional, and now I obviously don't have the conditions to fulfill the promise, and it won't help if I have to bite the bullet.
"Brother Mouse, look, look!" Before Xiaoma could figure out whether it would be better to run first or to take advantage later, Bungy yelled from the side.In addition to surprise, there was obvious panic in the voice, as if watching a horror movie.
"Damn it, the zombies are fighting among themselves!" The pony moved quickly, and with good eyesight, he immediately found the scene that made Bungy a little confused, and then exclaimed along with him.
"...I didn't expect that they still kept this thing!" Hong Tao's movements were not slow, and his eyes were okay. After seeing the scene in the distance, he didn't make a fuss like Bungy Pig and Pony, but his brows were tightly furrowed. up.
