36.Chapter 36: Mission
CHAPTER XXXVI
Time passed little by little, the sun gradually approached the horizon, and another attempt by the special operations brigade in the afternoon to break through ended in failure. There was an air of unease and despair in the pen&fun& pavilion www.biquge.info the granary, without the protection of the long walls and huge lighthouses of Los Angeles, the soldiers in the granary were just a herd of lambs to the slaughter, and no one dared to guarantee that they would live to see the sun tomorrow.
"Without a rescue plan, we were all abandoned! Even Major General Zhang was abandoned, and there was not even a rescue helicopter. He is a close confidant of Commander Cheng, it seems that someone in Los Angeles wants him to die! The granaries were piled up with bags of grain, but unfortunately all the soldiers in the company didn't even bother to look at these important survival materials.
No one answered in the granary, and no one expected this to be the result when they came out of Los Angeles today. The military's prediction of the danger of Los Angeles was insufficient, the special operations brigade's reconnaissance of Lanshui City was insufficient, and the granary was simply a decoy, and the troops plunged headlong into the trap. After the defeat of this operation, the military will no longer misjudge the strength and ability of the living corpses, but before that, the special operations brigade will become the basis for the military's judgment, and Mobei will become a cold number on the military's casualty report.
"Captain Wang, Sergeant Mo, General Zhang wants to see you, please come with me!" The silence and despair in the grain depot were suddenly stirred, and a man with the rank of major suddenly walked in.
"Major General Zhang, see us?" Wang Jie's eyes regained some brilliance, and he and Mo Bei looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes. What is the highest commander in the army to do at this juncture when he wants to meet two completely unrelated people?
"Mo Bei, let's go take a look!" Wang Jie greeted Mo Bei, and the two followed the major out of the granary, outside the granary was waiting for a Dongfeng warrior, and the warrior who got into the car quickly drove to the other side of the granary.
"Comrades, the special operations brigade has now reached a life-and-death moment, and the reinforcements from Los Angeles will only come to reinforce us tomorrow morning, and we must hold on here all night!" Dongfeng Warriors quickly arrived at the brigade headquarters at zero hour with Mo Bei and Wang Jie, but they didn't expect to see Major General Zhang speaking to a regiment of soldiers resting. "I know how dangerous the darkness is to humanity right now, and I know how many things in the dark night want to tear us apart, but, don't be afraid, look over there, the brigade headquarters has developed a small movable lighthouse, which is like a small Los Angeles lighthouse. We have light, we have hope, and we can turn this place into a little Los Angeles. We'll be able to go home tomorrow!"
More than a dozen soldiers were busy putting up a simple street lamp, and the diesel generator roared, and the street lamp glowed comfortably amid the cheers of the soldiers. Not far away, several groups of soldiers were doing the same thing. Seeing these lighthouses that were much smaller, Mo Bei and Wang Jieluo felt a little relieved, as long as they had these things, the special operations brigade would have the possibility of guarding the grain depot. This Major General Zhang does not seem to be unprepared for the current situation.
The erection of a small lighthouse restored a lot of confidence to the soldiers, and Major General Zhang, the supreme commander of the special operations brigade, also completed his task, and he quickly returned to the office area of the grain depot, which has become the zero-hour brigade headquarters, and the command system of the special operations brigade is here.
"Everyone sit down, don't be restrained, Xiao Li, make some tea for the soldiers!" Major General Zhang returned to his office and let Mobei Wang Jie and three or four other soldiers waiting for him enter the office. Major General Zhang said that he was a major general, but in fact he was just one of some people who were specially appointed during the special period. Major General Zhang was actually the deputy mayor of Lanshui City two months ago, and Cheng commanded people who had no troops to use to make him the commander of the special operations brigade, but Major General Zhang did not have a military background, and he also entered the police system step by step after retiring to get to where he is today. Because of these backgrounds, Major General Zhang feels more like an official.
Simply said some nonsense, Major General Zhang asked Mo Bei and them to introduce themselves, and then he said: "Several of you here are all soldiers who have performed well in today's battle, which has left a deep impression on me, and it is warriors like you who can complete difficult tasks that other fighters can't complete." Now I have a task for you, and I hope you will be able to complete it well while keeping it secret. ”
After the failure of the successive battle plans this afternoon, the brigade headquarters designated a set of backup plans, one of which was the evacuation plan to the subway after the failure of the grain depot guards. The underground has been the most dangerous place since two months ago, and there is no one, even during the day, places such as underground parking lots and subways are forbidden areas for humans. It is conceivably difficult to evacuate from the subway, but the brigade headquarters does not want to give up any possibility, and Mobei and they have no other choice.
Major General Zhang chose Mobei and the others because they were brave and decisive enough, and they might be able to complete this plan, and it would be difficult for other soldiers to carry out this task.
"I have selected a group of soldiers in the army who understand electrical circuits and have a certain understanding of underground construction, and your task is to protect them and clear a safe area underground, so that they can light this area with a hernia lamp. Although the subway connects to Los Angeles, it is unlikely that we will be able to take the subway line back to Los Angeles directly from here at this time. We just need to clear out a position, and in case the depot is lost, we can withdraw the troops and keep the living corpses out, so that the troops can hold out until dawn tomorrow. Of course, if the troops held the grain depot tonight, they would not need to hide underground. Major General Zhang's gaze crossed the faces of several people, and finally looked at Wang Jie and said, "This is a copy of the Lanshui City subway line map, I didn't expect that the first intercity subway in the domestic experiment was actually used by us!" Wang Jie, I will hand over this map to you, and you are the person in charge of this mission. ”
"General, it is impossible to complete the task with just a few of us, I will at least take the people in my company with me!" Wang Jie took the map and glanced at it. If it was possible, Wang Jie would never accept this task, but he and Mo Bei both knew that they had no choice at all, and this was a way to survive.
"I'll give you two companies, you choose your own people, but keep it secret, two companies are the most troops I can draw, no matter how much the defense of the grain depot will be a problem, you pay attention to secrecy when you choose people!"
"Two companies, okay, general, let's try to complete the task!" Wang Jie nodded.
"Also, your name is Mo Bei, right? You are now a platoon commander, I have heard about the events during the day, and I am also very sad about the sacrifices of the soldiers, but for the sake of the overall situation, sometimes sacrifice is unavoidable, you don't have a psychological burden, your decision is very correct, and being strong and resolute is what we need most now." When I return to Los Angeles, I will explain to the above, I will not let you be wronged, you do a good job, I hope you can complete the task!" Before ending the conversation, Major General Zhang actually patted Mo Bei on the shoulder and said, his words also had an official characterization of what Mo Bei did in the afternoon. At least Mobei didn't have to worry about the gendarmerie suddenly arresting him and shooting him.
