Chapter 139: Position No. 6
"Let's go, let's go to the commander on the front line and report first!" Su Ziyan said, gesturing to Zhang Wenming on the side.
Zhang Wenming immediately realized and took the lead towards a makeshift barracks not far away.
The military department of the base has set up a corresponding front-line combat command at each pass, and the civilian combat units in the rear need to report to this command headquarters every day if they want to participate in the front-line battles, so that the front-line commanders can make a reasonable arrangement in light of the actual situation.
The barracks where the whirlpool is located are not large, but its military atmosphere is not weak at all, and after the sentinels gave a briefing, Su Ziyan and the others quickly met the commander of the front line.
This is a young officer about thirty-five years old, who carries two bars and one star on his shoulders, that is, the rank of major. The garrison of the Haizhou base at several important passes is a reorganized main battalion-sized army, with a battalion headquarters and three independent companies under its jurisdiction, with a total of more than 450 personnel.
On the side of the whirlpool, the regular military arrangement is a main battalion, and counting the strength of a dozen or so civilian combat teams assisting in the battle, the number of people has reached six or seven hundred.
This is not a small force, and for the Haizhou base, which has a total of only more than 35,000 people, the number of personnel it can mobilize is quite good. If you are reasonably mobilized, with the advantage of terrain, it is enough to intercept the oncoming zombie army.
So although he was only a battalion commander, the responsibility on his shoulders was also extremely heavy, and after learning of Su Ziyan's intentions, the battalion commander spread out the map, pointed to the position marked with numbers on it, and raised his head and asked, "Are you sure you want to participate in the front-line battle?" I advise you that the fighting on the front line is extremely intense! ”
Generally speaking, only veteran combat squads that have experienced the fire of war will be allowed to enter the front line to fight, because going to the battlefield is no different from going to death. As a commander on the front line, it is necessary not only to ensure the safety of the position, but also to ensure that there is no unnecessary attrition.
Out of duty, he repeatedly asked Su Ziyan and others what they thought.
"Please rest assured, battalion commander, we will be in control!" Su Ziyan straightened up, said unhurriedly, and handed over a certificate representing her team, which recorded the performance of Su Ziyan's 165 team in the past few days.
The battalion commander glanced at Su Ziyan deeply, took the certificate and looked at it, and after a while, he nodded lightly, "Okay, since you have figured it out, then I will arrange for you to go to the No. 6 position where the second company and the third platoon are located, remember, after arriving at the No. 6 position, you must obey the orders of the military commander of the position, and you must not act without authorization!" ”
After speaking, with a snap, he knocked an authorization stamp on it, and the battalion commander handed over a simple map of the position to Su Ziyan.
Su Ziyan took the map and nodded towards the battalion commander. Then Zong Li and his team were also authorized, and several people left the barracks where the front headquarters was located.
Jiang Kai watched Su Ziyan and them leave steadily, looked back at the detailed combat map spread out on the table, which marked the deployment of troops in various places and the size of the zombies to be faced, picked up a pen, and wrote the numbers 165 and 163 in the circle of the sixth position, and circled them with a triangle.
Then quietly pondered, thinking about where there are still weaknesses in the Vortex Pass fortifications, in the face of the attack of zombies, every weak point must be calculated, otherwise let the zombies crush, not to mention whether it will threaten the safety of the base, the casualties alone are unbearable pain.
Just as Jiang Kai was pondering, a female soldier wearing a military uniform and carrying the rank of lieutenant walked in, saluted Jiang Kai, and asked, "Battalion commander, do you really let them go to the front line?" Judging by the seniority of their squad, it's just an ordinary newly formed squad. ”
The female soldier's name is Guo Ningsi, who holds the position of an assistant to the secretary under Jiang Kai's account, and from her words, it can be heard that she has considerable doubts about Su Ziyan's strength.
In fact, it is not surprising that these combat squads set up by the people are uneven in terms of composition, and many of them have only undergone simple military training, and it is not easy to maintain the non-defeat when they really arrive on the battlefield.
Jiang Kai looked up at his assistant officer, and said with a smile: "That's why I asked them to go to the position that Yule is in charge of, where there is relatively less pressure, and Yule's kid has long complained to me about the lack of manpower, so it's just right for them to go over." ”
The officer's assistant suddenly realized when he heard this, and then Jiang Kai asked, "How many squads have come over today to declare to assist in the battle?" ”
"Counting the two squads that went out just now, a total of twelve squads have applied for assistance, half of which belong to the rear assistance, and I have already approved it."
Jiang Kai nodded, and there were also six teams that went to the front line with the approval of his hand, so that there were almost more than a hundred people, and with them joining, the pressure on the front would be much less. Said seriously: "Let the soldiers on the second line cheer up, don't let some zombies slip through the net!" ”
The front-line battle is hot, but the front line is too long, and it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, and those combat teams that go to the front line are running for interests, and they can't have much interest in some worthless zombies.
"Yes, I'll pass it on!" Guo Ning thought about it and said solemnly.
"Hmm." Jiang Kai nodded slightly, and his expression became relaxed.
After coming out of the barracks, Su Ziyan and the others got into the car and walked all the way, and soon came to the designated No. 6 position.
Position 6 is located southeast of the Vortex Pass, an open flare mouth terrain that is mountainous, with a towering verdant mountain and a variety of evergreen vegetation growing on the mountain.
Since there are no national highways and provincial roads in this area, and further down is a bend area, and on the left is the No. 5 position in charge of another team, so the No. 6 position is not actually set up to intercept the zombie group going north, its main task is to clear the local zombie group and further expand the actual control area of the base.
When Su Ziyan and the others came to the front line, they obviously felt that the atmosphere here was more solemn than that in the rear, as if even the air was filled with this kind of solemn atmosphere, and in the distance, they even smelled the smell of gunpowder.
Although the No. 6 position is not the area with the greatest pressure on zombies, it is by no means peaceful, as far as the eye can see, from time to time you can see groups of zombies swaying not far away, and even due to the effect of gunfire, dozens of zombie groups have gathered in some places, and they are confronting the limited forces......
Sudden gunshots rang out continuously, and bullets burst out from the muzzle with tongues of fire, constantly sweeping towards the zombies attacking them.
The effect of the scale of the system is vividly shown in the battle, this is not two or three big cats and small cats, once a certain scale is formed, even if you hold the same weapon, its comprehensive effectiveness will be fully improved.
At this time, the platoon commander of the second company and the third platoon of the sixth position, Yule, was in a double mood of excitement and pain, with the slow advance of the troops, the local zombies were being constantly cleared by them, but because of the lack of numbers, the speed of the troops' advance was very slow.
"These zombies, no matter how you kill them, you can't kill them all!" Yule smiled bitterly in his heart, there are no less than a hundred zombies cleared today, but there are still crowds in front of him, and I am afraid that he will not be able to clean them up in a short time.
For security reasons, he did not let the soldiers disperse, and although the advance was refreshing, the price could be the young and precious lives of the soldiers.
There are a total of about forty people in the second company and three rows, which is actually not much at all, and if the commander is hot-headed, he will be buried easily! Obviously, Yuler's mind is sober, and when facing several times the number of zombies that are several times his own, he is more concerned about fighting steadily, guarding the sandbags and quietly waiting for the arrival of the zombies, although this method of battle is not bold, but it is obviously the most advantageous way to fight at the moment.
