Chapter 456: A Necessary Sacrifice
"This ......," the young staff officer surnamed Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with some stumbling eyes, "maybe we can find a way to make it together, or remove the high-explosive from a batch of shells......
As a senior staff officer of the headquarters, he naturally understands how much explosives are still in the material warehouse of the Herrens Defense Line, and the explosives in the original warehouse are still enough to clean up the corpses, and then after the consumption of most of the fierce battles for most of the day, I am afraid that there is not much left.
"Dismantling the shells?" The female staff officer sneered, "It's a shame that you can tell me, I just read the report sent by the quartermaster, in addition to the incendiary bombs, we still have 17,000 shells left, this shell is only enough to fire three salvos, dismantle these shells, do you plan to let the artillery go to the front line and smash those parasites with barrels?" β
"There should still be some stock in the private army warehouses of the various consortia, and we can collect that part of the shellsβ" Staff Officer Yu's face turned red, trying to continue arguing.
"Huh, solicitation?" The sarcasm on the female staff officer's face became even stronger, her arms were crossed in front of her chest, and the pair of murder weapons in the world directly squeezed out a deep furrow at the collar of the open army-green shirt - although this woman was in her thirties and nearly forty years old, not only did she not look old at all, but her whole body exuded a charm unique to a mature woman.
Within the Alliance, however, she is more famous than her charm for her sharp words and decisive methods.
"Each consortium has its own defense zone that needs to be guarded, and that's part of the Hellens Line, so even if you go to ask them for shells, they can come up with more than ten reasons to refuse."
"......"
Staff Officer Yu wanted to say something, but at this time, the lieutenant general waved his hand to prevent the two from continuing to argue, coughed, and said: "Enough, in this case, Lu Wei, do you say that you have any way to clean up the corpses piled up under the city wall, without damaging the city wall itself." β
"The clean-up plan was carried out according to the original plan, and two additional mobile units were dispatched to the flanks and rear to contain the Kuroshio and gain 24 hours for the clean-up troops." This female staff officer named Lu Wei immediately said.
"Doesn't that mean we're putting these two forces in a dead end? This is an unnecessary sacrifice! Staff Officer Yu said anxiously.
"No, Staff Officer Yu, you are wrong." Lu Wei stared at the other party coldly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes, "This is a necessary sacrifice - how can there be a war of the undead, as long as they can buy us time, their sacrifice is worthwhile." β
"One more thing, I forgot to tell you, just think of me as a senior on the spot for a newcomer like you, who has just graduated from military academies - in our current situation, artillery shells are worth more than human lives."
Staff Officer Yu was speechless in an instant, although the green tendons on both sides of his neck protruded and his eyes were round, but in the face of Lu Wei's statement, he couldn't say a word to refute it.
She was right, in the current situation, shells are indeed worth more than human lives.
A single artillery shell can easily kill dozens of parasites, and if it falls on the densest ground, it is not impossible to cause hundreds of casualties at a time, and ordinary infantry, even if equipped with a new ten-millimeter caliber full-power assault rifle, the efficiency of destroying parasites is definitely not comparable to that of artillery shells.
This is especially true when dealing with alien species such as the Hunter and Tower Levels.
And the most important thing is that the recoil of the ten-millimeter caliber full-power assault rifle can only be fully controlled by an evolutionary who is above the first level, and the proportion of evolutionaries in the troops of the Hellens Line is only ten percent.
ββ¦β¦ It's so decided, Lu Wei, you are responsible for this matter, and the troops that contain the Black Tide are also selected by you, and I will allocate you a quota of 200,000 merit points, how to use it, you can do it yourself. With that, the lieutenant general lit another cigarette, took a deep breath, and then puffed a large cloud of smoke out of his nasal cavity.
"My subordinates understand." Lu Wei saluted, then turned around and walked out of the headquarters quickly, jumping into an off-road vehicle parked outside the headquarters.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, the K14 defense zone.
This defense area is located in the flank and rear of the entire Hellens Line, the defensive pressure is not great, but there is not much military merit to be earned, and the only task of the players stationed here is to intercept those lone parasites who fall from the side, and once the frontal defense line collapses, the K14 defense area, which has no dangerous terrain and no solid fortifications, will fall in an instant.
In charge of garrisoning the K14 defense area, there is a large mercenary group "Black Forest Woodcutter" composed of Chinese, Mongolians, Russians, and a small number of Koreans and Dongying people, and the leader of the "Black Forest Woodcutter" is a Russian in his forties who is as strong as a bear, named "Ravlendi".
Lavrenti is a pure strength type third-level evolutionary, but what he is most proud of is not his strength, but his ability in that area - his proudest achievement is that in one night, he fourteen women from six countries one after another, from before it was dark until dawn, and six of the fourteen women were killed alive by him in their beds.
The "Black Forest Woodcutter" mercenary group has more than 3,000 mercenaries under its banner, and the number of employees in charge of logistics, slaves, and female slaves for the members of the mercenary group to vent is more than 5,000.
In addition, the "Black Forest Woodcutter" mercenary group also has hundreds of first-level evolutionaries, more than thirty second-level evolutionaries, and four third-level evolutionaries including the regiment leader Ravlianji.
The "Black Forest Woodcutters" mercenary group has been in a cooperative relationship with the alliance since the consortium alliance entered the permafrost tundra, and often contracts some tasks such as clearing the area and escorting supplies on weekdays, but this time, the alliance's top brass offered a high price that Ralph couldn't refuse, and let them be responsible for defending the K14 defense area of the Hellens line.
At this moment, in a "simple" reception room in the central area of the K14 Defense Zone, Lu Wei sat cross-legged on an old sofa that was very worn, while opposite her, Lav Lianji, who was nearly three meters tall, was constantly walking back and forth in the reception room.
"I said, Chief Officer Lu, your suggestion is to send our brothers to death, this is not very easy to doββ"
Ravlianji twisted the stubby on his chin, and his face showed a look of embarrassment, but his squinting eyes never moved away from the pair of long legs wrapped in black stockings under the narrow skirt of Lu Wei's uniform.
"100,000 merit points, even if you want to issue a pension for your subordinates, the rest is enough for you to exchange for several D serums, what, don't you want to become stronger?"
"However, this price is really too great, you asked me to send two thousand people to the side to contain the black tide, these two thousand people, whether they can come back, I still know this very well." "150,000," said Ravrenty, "If the Alliance pays me 150,000 merit points, or the equivalent of resource points, then I will grant your request." β
