Chapter 15 Dispatch Order
Not long after General Fang successfully enlightened Shao Xiaofang with a serious and patient expression, General Shao, who had a solemn expression, just walked out of his study.
General Fang saw that there was something wrong with his expression, so he immediately shifted his attention to him and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?" β
Facing General Fang's inquiry, General Shao first stared at him for a while, and then moved his gaze to Shao Xiaofang next to him.
After pondering for a long time, he replied with a helpless sigh: "Chief Chen sent a message to me to determine whether Xiao Fang is here now. β
General Shao's answer made Shao Xiaofang suddenly show a very inexplicable expression: "What is Old Man Chen doing?" My vacation has been approved by the review, should he regret it now?! β
"No, it's the exact opposite, he's going to give you an extended vacation now, so you don't have to go back to the Northwest Military Base so quickly." General Shao sighed again, "He wants you to wait directly for the front line summoning order here." β
And his words made Shao Xiaofang a little unable to sit still on the spot, only to see Shao Xiaofang's face quickly show an uneasy look on his face and asked, "Is there something unexpected happening at the base?!" β
"The Northwest Military Base is now the strongest fortress in our country, if something unexpected happens, do you think this base on our side can still be so stable?" Without waiting for General Shao to reply, General Fang spoke out first to appease Shao Xiaofang's impatient mood.
"That's right, everything is normal at the Northwest Military Base now, but the Poisonous Wolves who were originally stationed on the outer defense line have received a dispatch order." General Shao looked at Shao Xiaofang and said in a serious tone, "The country intends to regain control of S City, which was the most seriously lost at the beginning, as soon as possible, and the customs port of S City is the first key target to recapture. β
"The Marines of the Third Military Region were the first to enter the customs port, because there were still a lot of zombies moving in the customs port, so there was a fight. What they didn't expect was that there were many mutants lurking there. General Shao continued to explain the situation, "The appearance of the mutant caused the battle situation to expand, and then directly pulled the battle line to the No. 3 chemical warehouse in that customs port, causing a series of explosions that could not be ignored. β
When he said this, General Shao couldn't help but lower his eyes. After all, any battle that exceeds the expected situation is likely to cause a large number of casualties, which is undoubtedly a very fatal result for the current situation of the extreme lack of front-line fighters.
"And then?!" Shao Xiaofang hurriedly urged anxiously, "The dispatch order received by the poisonous wolf team is to go to that customs port, right?!" β
General Shao did not directly answer Shao Xiaofang's question, but after a pause, he continued to explain the situation: "That big explosion not only caused two-thirds of the members of the Marine Corps of the Third Military Region to suffer heavy casualties on the spot, but also gathered all the zombies within a radius of 30 kilometers outside the customs port. According to satellite aerial surveillance, the number of zombies gathered at the customs port in the first wave will exceed 50,000. β
At this time, even General Fang, who had always been calm and composed, said with some patience: "That customs port is located in the east of S City, if that big explosion caused zombies within a radius of thirty kilometers to gather over, it means that this range can almost cover the main area of the entire city of S City." And according to the population base of S City, the number of zombies that can be gathered at that customs port will not be less than one million. β
General Shao knew very well that the number that General Fang said was already a very conservative number, and it was very possible that the number of zombies gathered would exceed two million.
Because S City used to be the most economically developed city in the Celestial Empire, and then the population base was also very large. As the first first-tier city to completely fall at the beginning, after all the company factories in S City stopped operating, the city's climate soon began to change, coupled with the influence of the marine climate, the temperature in the city has been maintained at about ten degrees, and there is no hot weather at all.
Therefore, such a climate has become the best breeding ground for zombies, making them not easy to decompose, and until a few years after the outbreak of the zombie virus, the number of zombies here has not decreased significantly.
"Can there still be so many zombies gathered now?! Didn't the state already carry out a covering bombing of the city of S back then?! Shao Xiaofang was still a little incredulous about this, "Also, wasn't there a bombing at the customs port?!" β
"So you're still naΓ―ve." General Shao replied very politely, "At the beginning, the covering bombing against S City was only a concentrated bombing within the urban area, and then bombing at several other population gathering points, and it was impossible to directly bomb the entire city. And all the bombing targets approved by our country do not include ports, highways, railways and airports, because these are the key lifelines of our follow-up operations. β
Shao Xiaofang was simply speechless for General Shao's words, and he had to admit that he really had a lot to learn.
"With our current strength, it is simply impossible to stop more than a million zombies in a short period of time." General Fang then said with a deep frown, "Even if all the troops from each base are gathered, it is still very reluctant, and the casualties caused are still very amazing. β
"So if you want to divert these zombies, you must not let them gather together to form a formation, otherwise you won't be able to stop them." General Shao said honestly.
"Can't you apply for a missile to bombard that huge zombie horde?" Shao Xiaofang couldn't help but interject.
"Of course not, S itself is a city that has already experienced aerial bombardment, and if it continues to be bombarded with heavy firepower weapons now, it will be very difficult to rebuild the city, and the environmental impact will be immeasurable. In that case, what's the point of reclaiming a place that no longer has a place to become a city home? General Shao patiently explained to Shao Xiaofang, "We can't be unscrupulous in order to exterminate zombies, once the environment we live in has been irreparably destroyed, it will be irreparable." β
These words made Shao Xiaofang instantly understand why they had fought so hard for so long, but they rarely saw the country launch missiles and these heavy weapons to directly attack those endless zombies. After all, the power of missiles is completely different from the grenade bombs they use in battle.
"Then since the Poisonous Wolves have accepted the dispatch order for this operation, how can I, as the deputy captain, hide here?" Shao Xiaofang then thought of this point, "Is Old Man Chen old and confused?" When you need to hire people, you won't let me go?! β
"There is no way for you to pass by yourself now, and you will have to wait until the follow-up troops go to S City before they can bring you over." General Shao explained seriously, "So you just wait patiently for the summoning order." β
"How can this be?! The Wolves don't have a commander right now, do they?! Shao Xiaofang's eyes widened with concern.
"Who said that? You're not here as the vice-captain, so don't you still have a captain? General Shao glanced at him, "The commander who is now leading the operation of the Poisonous Wolves is Xiao Yun. β
