Chapter 139: July Flowing Fire
It turned out that this elite unit was the "July Flowing Fire" led by Makino.
Since the situation in the southern theater deteriorated, the zombie frenzy swept the entire region, and the rebels took the opportunity to rise, although the four generalissimos of the military department kept accusing the metropolitan governor of the front line for not supervising the war effectively, they still sent a lot of troops to help and share the pressure here.
After all, if there is a rebel, the military department must take action, because in the serious empire, the rebels are more hateful than zombies, and they must be exterminated before the rebels grow. What's more, compared to the zombie army led by the Corpse Emperor, the strength of these rebels is much weaker. Therefore, the four generalissimos sent a lot of troops to help the Metropolitan Governor resist the zombie invasion, but in fact, the real task of Makino and his troops is to enter the southern provinces and eliminate the rebel forces.
Of course, Makino and his troops cannot claim to destroy the rebels to the outside world.
After all, the rebels were born after the southern provinces were abandoned by the empire, and some grassroots people united to fight against the zombies and defend their homes. Although the rebels were also hostile to the Empire, and even attacked the cities defended by the Empire's local armies. But in the big picture, both the rebels and the Imperial armies are human. In the face of the zombie invasion, the imperial army naturally can't aim its guns at the rebels first, otherwise it will fall into a crisis of public opinion.
Therefore, in the name of resisting the zombie invasion, Makino and the others carry out the core task indeed: to eliminate the resistance forces.
At this time, the convoy of the July Drifting Fire Force had already passed through the defense line and entered the southern theater of operations of the empire.
The adjutant asked Makino respectfully: "Sir, we have now arrived in the territory of the Southern War Zone, the capital of the Southern Province, Suzaku City, is less than a hundred kilometers away from here, and the Metropolitan Governor himself is sitting in Suzaku City, do you think we want to go to Suzaku City first and meet the Grand Governor?"
Makino raised his eyebrows: "We were ordered by the shepherd marshal to come on a mission, and we didn't go to visit him, why did we go to see him?"
The adjutant lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, in fact, although the July Flowing Fire was the unit in charge of the marshal in July, the Metropolitan Governor was at least nominally the highest commander of the military department, according to the rules, Makino came here, and he needed to report to the Metropolitan Governor.
It's just that the adjutant knows that the faction of the four generals and the faction of the governor have always been at odds in private, and Makino, as a son of the Mu family, is naturally unswervingly on the side of the four generalissimos.
Makino looked at the map, his map was a map of the southern provinces, and there were even color markings that were roughly controlled by various forces, the green area was the place where the local defenders of the empire were still holding on, the black area was the place that was captured by the zombie army, and the red area was the place that was actually controlled by the rebels.
Makino squinted his eyes and said: "Command the troops, pay attention to the black areas on the map, especially the few marked black areas, those places are all entrenched and advanced routes led by zombie tyrants and lords themselves, and we can't provoke them." The troops are going to move towards the red zone, and our goal is to put down the rebellion and wipe out all these mud-legged rebels. ”
"Yes, sir!" the adjutant looked at the map, and then said, "The map shows that there is a three-way intersection ahead, according to the latest information, 20 kilometers to the left is the town of Baita, which has been recently captured by a zombie force, and 30 kilometers to the right is the town of Kapok that is actually controlled by the rebels. Shall we go straight to Kapok Town, or will we go to Baita Town first, exterminate the zombies entrenched here first, and then go to Kapok Town to quell the rebellion?"
Makino: "Zombies are not our core task, our core task is to quell the rebellion, regardless of Baita Town, go directly to Kapok Town." ”
The adjutant said embarrassedly: "As far as I know, the scale of zombies in Baita Town is not very large, and the zombie leader is only a seventh-level Titan zombie. We don't care about the zombies in Baita Town, and go straight to Kapok Town, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will know that they will say that they don't care about the righteousness, the zombies are current, but they only care about infighting. ”
Makino said coldly: "That's not something you need to worry about, you just need to follow my orders, it's enough." ”
The adjutant saw that Makino was already displeased, and hurriedly said, "Yes, sir!"
……
Ten kilometers away, the convoy of Chen Ning's Black Army was also advancing slowly.
Kan Jing was also looking at the map with Chen Ning at this time, formulating the offensive route.
Suga said to Chen Ning: "There are two small towns in front, one is Baita Town, and the other is Kapok Town, and the two towns are not far apart, only a few dozen kilometers. According to the latest news, Baita Town was attacked by hundreds of zombies led by two Titan zombies last night, and now it has fallen, and it is estimated that the zombies are still in the area of Baita Town, and Kapok Town is a small town actually controlled by the rebels, and the rebels here have hundreds of soldiers and more than 2,000 families, and their combat effectiveness is not very good. Zombies and rebels are our mission goals, our first battle, choose the zombies in Baita Town, or the rebels who are a little closer and weaker?"
Chen Ning asked lightly: "Kan Jing, you have been an officer for much longer than me, if you were the supreme commander, what would you choose?"
Kan Jing looked at Chen Ning and said lightly: "The smart choice is naturally to abandon the zombies and attack the rebels." Because the rebels are weaker, it will be easier for us to win the first victory, and the Metropolitan is eager for good news, whether it is the defeat of the zombies or the defeat of the rebels. The Metropolitan Governor has been impeached by the four generalissimos and others recently, and even the selection of talents by Wuke has been criticized and questioned. ”
Chen Ning smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Do you think I look like a smart person?"
Kan Jing has a very tacit understanding with Chen Ning, she also knows Chen Ning's character very well, integrity, bravery, perseverance, and very smart, but she often does things that are not smart enough.
Kan Jing nodded and said, "Like, but I know you're going to do something stupid, you plan to go to Baita Town first and pick hard bones to gnaw." ”
Chen Ning squinted his eyes: "Compared with the rebels, I hate zombies more, the rebels are just forced to organize to resist, but the zombies want to exterminate us humans." I will get there before sunset, and when the moon rises, I will end the battle and have a comfortable celebration in Baita Town. ”
With the expression I knew you would make such a choice, Suga said, "Understood." ”
All the soldiers of the Black Legion, when they heard that they were going to Baita Town to eliminate the zombies entrenched there, everyone was scared and excited, and even a little looking forward to it, many of the soldiers were sweating in their palms, because this was their first time fighting, and they were fighting with zombies, and even the leaders of this group of zombies were still two seventh-level zombies, Titan zombies.
What kind of soldiers led by what generals, Chen Ning's integrity, and Sugan's strictness, so that the soldiers of the Black Legion were also deeply affected, and everyone was branded with these two characteristics, everyone faced the first upcoming battle, although they were afraid, but no one thought of retreating, and with awe, they firmly followed Chen Ning and Kan Jing.
An hour later, the convoy of the Black Legion finally arrived at the edge of White Tower.
Only a few gunshots were heard, and the large military truck in front stopped, and the convoy behind also stopped.
Chen Ning jumped down from the cab of a big truck with agility and shouted, "What's the situation, where did the gunshots come from?"
The adjutant of the Angel of Judgment, the Bull Demon King, quickly led a few warriors to meet him: "Report to the chief, several low-level zombies appeared in front of them, and suddenly pounced on the convoy, and I ordered the warriors to shoot the zombies to death." ”
Shen Bijun also came over at this time: "Report to the chief, in front of Baita Town, a large number of zombies have appeared, and they are coming towards us." ”
Chen Ning and Kan Jing glanced at each other and ordered, "All assemble, line up, and prepare for battle." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Ning and the two troops of the Folded Winged Angel and the Judgment Angel in charge of Kan Jing quickly jumped out of the military truck and began to line up in the open space in front of the convoy, ready to fight.
And in the White Tower Town in front, countless zombies, led by two three-meter-high Titan zombies, also came towards this side with a menacing momentum.
The two Titan zombies are both more than three meters tall and weigh more than a ton, they have no heads, but their bodies are full of eyes, and every time they take a step, the earth trembles slightly, Chen Ning and the angel warriors behind Kan Jing, seeing these two terrifying behemoths, many people's lips turned white.
