Chapter XXXVII: The Fog in the Distance Section XXV
At present, the internal division of the R County Restoration Army seems to have become a foregone conclusion, especially when Zhang Jiaming cannot take charge of the matter, and the ministers cannot take care of the details, and the confrontation between the generals in the army has become more and more acute.
Inside Project 4217, after half a day of clashes, the attackers' troops seemed to be satisfied with their results, and under the cover of a large number of helicopters of different shapes, they withdrew from the battlefield by taking advantage of the twilight that had quietly fallen, leaving only the outer wall of the project that had been ravaged by artillery fire - everywhere there were traces of helicopter missiles shattering rock masses, and during the Hengchen period, it was the strength of a battalion of the Praetorian Guard!
The troops of the Seventh Division who rushed to the scene could only watch the attackers swagger away, Hu Kuishan glared angrily, looking at the corpses all over the ground, unable to say a word! A series of blows made this loyal man's heart churn, and he threw the weapon in his hand to the ground with hatred. The attackers obviously got accurate information, they first dispatched helicopter troops, and annihilated all the defenders of the grain depot in R County in one fell swoop, and then left a small number of troops, taking advantage of the fact that the R County Restoration Army did not wake up, and immediately jumped to raid the 4217 Project, with a direct and simple goal, which was to destroy the reserve grain of the R County army! The weight of the three armies is no more than the grain road! The means are despicable, but they work! Coupled with the advanced weapons and vehicles, this mysterious raider force has almost completed 75% of its stated objectives! Fortunately, the 4217 project bunker had been dug into the interior of the mountain, and a lot of grain storage space was not discovered by the enemy. "Send troops, immediately search and rescue those who may still be alive, you two! I'm going to find a way to keep up with those fleets right now! Remember, don't come back without finding their footing! That's an order! "Werewolves are extremely fast, and can reach hundreds of kilometers per hour on the ground at will! However, this speed is not long-lasting, the plane without any trajectory in the air can get rid of the tracking of the wolves at once, this unrealistic order is still executed, the two night wolves quickly beast, submerged in the shadows--- they still have one thing to rely on, that is, the taste system! One of the great powers that Zhang Jiaming gave them, through the smoke left behind by the flight of the plane in the air, they can also lock on to the general direction of the target! "Gather the remains of the brethren, they need a dignified burial!" Looking at the brother troops who were torn apart beyond recognition by bullets and explosives, Rao was an iron-clad man who couldn't bear to look at it a few more times, and the troops of the Seventh Division moved quickly and carried out the orders step by step.
On the eleventh day of the outbreak of the battle, the troops going to RS County also withdrew, Qin Gengsheng's troops were indescribable with a heavy loss, a full 2 full regiments plus an overnumbered mixed brigade, and the fifth garrison regiment that went to support, all of them were beaten to the ground by various sudden attacks, not to mention, and most of the troops were lost, and now, at the military meeting of R County, all the generals who participated in the war were gathered, but the atmosphere was very depressing, just like a memorial service, All the people at the scene did not have a good face. Who would have thought that RS County, which was originally vowed to be taken in one go, has now become the moon overhead, looking good-looking, but it will never be touched! Wei Xiancai of the first regiment forced his face hard, and the loss of his troops was the smallest, because he was only deployed on the bridgehead, and most of the troops did not go to the front line, before the zombie group broke through the bridgehead, he had always been regarded as a fighter for the fourth mixed brigade and a cheerleader, but when the two M3s reappeared roaring from hundreds of tons of sand and gravel, the cement fortifications in the bridgehead became synonymous with jokes! It's just a cluster charge, the zombies broke through the defense line under the leadership of these boss-level guys, in order to cover the friendly forces that have been defeated, Wei Xiancai under Qin Gengsheng's strict orders, sent a large number of soldiers into the bridge fortifications in advance, and wanted to use the characteristic chainsaw on the bridge to resist the impact of M3, unfortunately, after the dozen P-type zombies who charged too fast were ruthlessly harvested, M3 killed, ignoring these deadly iron weapons, M3 actually smashed all these terrible saws straight away! If Wei Xian hadn't discovered it early and ordered a retreat in time, I'm afraid that few of the soldiers on the bridge would have been able to return safely! M3 played the role of the leader of the demolition team all the way, and other types of zombies were not idle, chasing the humans who were constantly retreating on the bridge, not to mention, there were traces of R-type zombies in the follow-up zombie group, and they were probably not satisfied with the exploits of breaking through the enemy's position in front! The order to blow up the bridge could not be given without a complete withdrawal of the soldiers! This is different from the previous positional warfare, in that case, it is never possible for the besieged soldiers to reunite with their allies and retreat to a safe bridgehead, so Niu Keshen had no choice but to choose a strong man to break his wrist and sacrifice all the hundreds of soldiers on the dirt slope! After changing the bridge, although the retreat of the hundreds of soldiers on the bridge was not fast, after all, it was not in a state of encirclement, and there was still a great chance of escaping! Therefore, Wei Xian, who gritted his teeth, stubbornly stood at the detonation point console, patiently waiting for the moment when his brothers evacuated safely, but in the end, it was the zombie group's own actions that caused the bridge to collapse! Too many zombies and escaped humans jumped up and down on this tofu scum project, coupled with the vigorous demolition of the two M3s, the whole bridge couldn't help but start moaning, in the burst of steel cracking moans, the cement bridge completed its mission, starting from the fragile section in the middle, the two ends of the demolition of M3 this time fell into bad luck! The last time I was buried alive, with my perverted ability to survive, I dug a road out of the earthwork, and now it's too much to dismantle, and I put myself in it all of a sudden! Amid the sound of the bridge collapsing, the two M3s fell into the rolling RS river again, accompanied by hundreds of Type I zombies! Xie Hui's troops were originally set to be bench members, but when the battle was about to be declared a failure, a sudden helicopter team brazenly attacked the mountain position! These cunning and despicable guys didn't give the soldiers too much chance to fight back at all, and while doing a hovering flight, they tilted the dense rain of rockets of all colors, and they simply beat the second regiment stationed on the mountain position to heavy casualties, not to mention that even Xie Hui was blown up to pieces, and now he is still lying in the hospital and undergoing surgery! After the entire second regiment was counted, there were less than two hundred soldiers left, and most of the soldiers had all turned into a part of the soil under the merciless shooting of the enemy! The fourth mixed brigade, the vanguard team of this battle, their deeds are admirable, not to mention anything else, in contrast, the young people who have given this army the "Niangniang Army" in the past have changed their vision, and as the regiment commander Niu Caoshen, although the loss of troops will not be inferior to the previous two main regiments, but this time the battle achievements are real, annihilating 230,000 enemies! This number is placed in front of the regiment leader, and it is an achievement that can be proud of! However, in this atmosphere, it is not appropriate to mention the merits of the war again, Niu Caoshen looks at everyone's face is not good-looking, and he does not dare to be proud. Yakov's supreme patrol officer has been recovered by the Night Wolf, and after he was wounded, he was taken by several loyal men to a village near the shore of the water tower, this risky move invited them to danger, hundreds of zombies found their tracks and surrounded them, and among these hunting zombies, there were 2 P-type zombies! Even if the weak veteran is capable, he can't lead the team to resist in this state, and after the last guard is knocked off the top of the water tower with a scream, the two excited P-type zombies both point their not-so-developed heads at the final target. The two of them are the lucky ones among the Evolved Zombies! However, this time their good luck came to an end, and the night wolf in the nose flew a few steps agilely, and they had already come to the veteran's side safely, without waiting for the P-type zombie to yell: "You cheat!" That's not fair drops! "The Night Wolf just turned these two guys to pieces. Now, Yakov is in a wheelchair, a hanging bottle is hanging next to him, his mental state is very reluctant, and this time he is in the meeting, he can be regarded as an observer. The sailor battalion was completely wiped out, except for a few living people, the two main and deputy battalion commanders, Zhao Jiali, who was the first to follow Zhang Jiaming, and Nie Haomin were confirmed that the fleet they were riding on had all been destroyed after the attack began! In the face of the death of two former colleagues, people who were familiar with them didn't dare to say anything at this time, just looked at the two positions where the empty place was, the eyes of those old people always flashed brightly, and some people stubbornly raised their heads and looked at the opposite wall with a gloomy face, but the twitching at the corners of his eyes had betrayed the pain in his heart. Someone hid his face and made a contemplative appearance, as if he was too concerned about the matter of his own one-third of an acre of land, and did not want to be distracted by the death of his colleague, but his occasional twitching shoulders also ruthlessly informed everyone of the softest place in this man's heart! Comrade-in-arms! All of a sudden, it's gone! The losses at the battalion commander level alone are as high as a third! The losses of other officers who have been promoted through battles and battles are even more incalculable! Speaking of which, everyone will always think that training an officer is just enough to fight a war and kill the enemy, but in fact, professional officers, especially low-ranking officers, from recruitment to training, require time and money that cannot be calculated by normal formulas! Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, Hitler used a counter-strategy to get Stalin's classmates obediently into the trap and sweep away the Red Army generals! Hearing this, Hitler's classmates were so happy that they forgot their last name and jumped three feet high in their office! I almost wanted to award Stalin the Iron Cross for Meritorious Service of the 1st degree! In not a single battle has the senior general of the CPSU suffered such terrible losses! One of his famous sayings is: "The current Soviet army has become a headless giant!" "From here, you can see how valuable an officer, especially those professional officers who climb up one level at a time by virtue of their military merits! The Soviets played politics at the expense of officers at all levels that took a whole generation to train! The result was that after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, all kinds of battles were lost to the outrageous! The officers at all levels in R County were born in the grassroots class, they did not have any lofty ideals, and they believed that it was Zhang Jiaming who led them to victory step by step! They trust the powerful boss in their hearts! Willing to give everything for his will! But this time! Sanmiao, that taboo word has been cursed more than once in the old people of the original class, and the original Shaomin class, they have also begun to waver, according to reason, they should support and appease their own compatriots, but under this series of rebellion facts, they are also Shaomin They put on a righteous face to destroy their relatives, and began to rebuke the injustice of those traitors in unison! There is a posture of vowing to beat the water dogs! In fact, in the eyes of everyone, the words and deeds of these original Shaomin are just political statements, not to say that they really moved the Shaomin's murderous intentions, in the current R County forces, the Shaomin's strength is so weak that it is in danger, if it is wrong in voting and stands on the opposite side of the big leader, then maybe there will be a situation similar to the purge of Comrade Dalin! The faces of the village elders led by Qin Zaixi's father were calm, they were safe and would not be subjected to any harsh criticism, while on the other side, the faces of the village elders who had surrendered with Pang Mulin and Xiong Peiyun were not so good-looking! Constantly, someone took a handkerchief that was already dirty and secretly wiped the sweat drops on his forehead, this depressing atmosphere really made them too uncomfortable, as the only senior general in the Ninth Regiment Army, the deputy commander Lei Jinde, was not present at the moment, but no one at the scene asked anything, the fate of all the old Sanmiao departments seemed to have been decided at this meeting.
"Let me report on this operation, the price we paid!" exchanged glances with Yan Wanshan, and waited for a group of generals and village elders, including Mr. Priest, Wei Zhongshu cleared his throat and stood in front of the stage, this civilian officer who had worked hard for many days saluted the brigade commander Qin Gengsheng in the row in front of the table very gracefully, and the latter stood up and saluted back!
"The 1st Wolf Regiment, for the RS County combat sequence, after eleven days of fighting, 432 killed, 173 wounded, the rest of the number, 700 people!" Lao Wei's voice was so flat that it seemed that he was discussing with the kitchen master what main dish to have at dinner this afternoon, and the more cold he became, the more frightened some people present became!
"The Second Miao Dao Regiment, except for the regiment commander who was injured and is still being rescued, there are only one hundred and ninety-eight people left!" This meeting is actually the most democratic meeting at present, almost all the representatives at all levels, including some women who are grateful to Zhang Jiaming.
"Third Praetorian Guard." Lao Wei removed his eyes, at this moment, this seemingly hard-hearted brigade deputy suddenly lost his inherent demeanor, his eyes drooped with a crying tone, even his tone was out of tune, sobbing and choking, and intermittently reading the paper in his hand: "Liu Xuetang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard of the Third Regiment, led the forbidden army to the front line and encountered an enemy ambush, and the jade was martyred!" Shaoqing, this usually unsmiling civilian official, a dignified high-ranking official of the army, actually howled and cried without any image! The crying was so bad that it caused a cry of sorrow in unison! All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the entire venue changed from a seemingly memorial service to a real memorial service!
"Brother Xuetang! You said you would bury the martyrs' souls in Bamboo Village with the bones of your brothers! But you just left like that, we ,,,, we didn't even find all the bones for you,,,," Wei Zhongshu, who was crying with a handful of snot and tears, has completely lost the black temperament in the dungeon, "Qin Zaixi, who was comforting on the side, is also an old tearful, don't blame his grief is indeed feeling, these juniors, in the eyes of the old man, are the generation of the son he takes care of, how many ups and downs, although everyone has different opinions when they get along, but after all, they have waded through the mountains and blood of corpses together!" There are still feelings for comrades-in-arms, but sadly, again, the old man's helpless white-haired man sends the black-haired man! In this situation, how can it not make the old man sad? "Child, child, don't cry, don't cry, Captain Liu has become a benevolent! It's not an insult to his status as a soldier! The old man stroked Wei Zhongshu's hair that had begun to turn white, and his heart was like a knife cut! Again, it was those unknown enemies from outside that made this ancient old man experience the pain of losing a child! Qin Gengsheng, who didn't know where to wipe the tears on the side, no one would have thought that this guy would have such a temperament, and at this moment, he was also holding Wei Zhongshu, who was staggering and crying unclearly, persuaded him: "Brother Wei, brother, don't be sad, you listen to my brother and me, people can't be resurrected after death!" How mournful you are! Brother Liu's long-cherished wish that he couldn't fulfill during his lifetime has now fallen on us right now! You have to cheer up, cheer up,,," Although he said comforting words on his lips, Qin Gengsheng's sad expression on his face was not necessarily a few points lower than the one present, he and Liu Xuetang were subordinates, but in normal times, Qin Gengsheng valued this former staff officer with a knife-like lips, with a slightly kind smile on his face, and often when you were still busy planning things, he had quietly proposed the best plan to you Former staff officer, but unfortunately, such a staff officer is hot wherever he is placed. As Liu Xuetang entered Zhang Jiaming's field of vision, he passed various tests step by step, and after his loyalty and ability were affirmed within the high-level, he was promoted all the way and became the commander of the Praetorian Guard! It's a pity that God doesn't bless the virtuous! Liu Xuetang, who died young, did not fall on the way to kill zombies, but died at the hands of a group of foreign juniors! wordlessly hugged the shoulders of the painful Wei Zhongshu, and wanted to try to comfort others, but as a result, Qin Gengsheng, this tough guy, had already cried with tears on his face! Men don't flick if they have tears! But in the barracks where they are like brothers, the kind of friendship that admires, values, and cherishes each other like men will not be false at all! Especially those who have joined the army and served as soldiers! You know that on the battlefield, you trust more than just the weapons in your hands! What's more, it's still the close comrade-in-arms who silently supports you next to you! That kind of sincere affection is better than the bloodline of the blood-related relatives! "Brother, brother! I know you're angry, you're angry, you're angry and you're angry with me! It's the kids who don't fight! Defeated! If you don't give the villagers a long face, you can't do this,,," Wei Zhongshu cried so much that his voice was almost hoarse, he knew Liu Xuetang, from fishing and catching shrimp together in the ditch of his hometown with his bare buttocks, and then getting up early and walking more than ten miles of mountain roads together in the dark during the study season, going to the nearest rural primary school, and then step by step, the two of them from junior high school to college, they are like-minded and study in the same school! Years of communication, so that the two of them know each other's temperament, so close, let them see each other as brothers, that years of friendship, not a sentence or two sentences can be encompassed, although both of them have learned surveying and mapping technology, one went to the Southwest Military Academy, become an officer college student! And himself, because his parents were ill, he could only choose to complete his studies in an ordinary college in this province, and many years later, the two met in their hometown and talked to each other about many happy things in the year, and they couldn't help but feel emotional! It is also a coincidence of fate, although Liu Xuetang was born in a military academy, he was specially recruited as a national senior reservoir engineer halfway through! After taking off his military uniform, he embarked on another path of manpower, but Wei Zhongshu could only find a career as a teacher with the help of relatives in the countryside, and by the time he became the principal, he was already gray! The end broke out, and the two of them were both R county robes, and once again stood under the same banner, and again, let the two sigh at the impermanence of fate! The rabbit died and the fox was sad, this character who regarded himself as his own brother, just like that, so drop, was shot despicably and shamelessly on the road to RS County! Firmament! How unjust you are! "Seraph! I'm not done with you! It was almost vicious, Wei Zhongshu, who remembered something, clenched his fists and roared at the sky! His eyes were like torches, and he stood up and declared his will!
"Cry what cry! Lao Tzu is not dead yet! A burst of applause exploded at the gate of the venue! Everyone stopped crying and looked silently at the tall figure standing in the foyer at the door! The brown cloak was perfect for the man who stood like an iron tower, because it was in the house, and the cloak blocked his face, and no one could tell who the man was from his face! But, almost at the same time, everyone cried with joy! The man, the man they knew, was back!
"Return, the reef shark team has searched the scene, and the mission target has been confirmed. HQ, can you hear me? "On a barren hill, the corpses of Praetorian Guard soldiers dressed in R County were scattered everywhere, and two soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor were closely searching for something.
"This is Colonel Morris, please reply when you hear it, Reef Shark Squad, please reply when you hear it!"
"Sir, this is the Reef Shark Squad, over!"
"Goal confirmed?"
"Sir, we've confirmed his identity, but it's not very good news, at the moment, we can't find the remains of his body!"
"Don't be perfunctory! Squadron Leader Talon! Decide on your goals and then make a report! During the conversation, the language of the self-proclaimed colonel was already full of impatience.
"Sir, we did find the IMCM operative, marked as the identification badge of the Special Intelligence Officer of the Gang QL! At present, we have also found the rank identification of the intelligence officer in the army of R County! So, we have enough evidence that our assault force made a big mistake,,,,, well, a big mistake! “
There was silence for a long time on the intercom, and then a very reluctant voice came: "Reef shark squad, you can evacuate, remember, don't leave too many traces, in addition, bring back the intelligence officer's identity card and the thing you mentioned, and I will write the report of this operation!" “
"Roger! Return immediately! All of you, evacuate to the heights in two minutes, act fast! GOGOGO! The squadron leader picked up the identity card beside him that was smoked by explosives, picked up the evidence again, and looked over, it was just a half-broken epaulettes, and it is worth noting that the rank of this epaulette is regimental commander!
