Chapter XXXVII: The Fog in the Distance Section XIII

"Brigadier Commander, just let them go? Aren't you afraid that there will be trouble? "Liu Xuetang has not yet gone to the front line to supervise the war, and has been cooperating with Lao Wei to reorganize the army in the rear.

"They're not wrong, and we're not wrong." Wei Zhongshu's tone was calm, "What is wrong is the way of the world, Lao Liu, how are the preparations on the logistics side?" ”

"The negotiation with the Sixth Elder has basically been negotiated, and most of the ammunition they promised to give has been sent to our arsenal!" As soon as Liu Xuetang heard the order, he hurriedly reported: "All the foreign maintenance personnel of the FS hydropower station have been evacuated, and our cavalry transferred them to the MS hydropower station, and now they are not idle, according to their report, the generator set of the MS hydropower station is basically complete and more suitable for repair!" "Maybe there is too much bad news, but Lao Wei is not moved at all." And what about the soldiers stationed in the direction of SJ County? Has the cause of their death been clarified? "According to the investigation by the personnel sent by the Guards, it has been figured out that it is still the mysterious First Elder's troops who are obstructing!" Liu Xuetang said hatefully, and unfolded a map: "Now, more than two million zombie groups have been gathered in the Wangfuling area, which is almost the same as the number of corpses in the northbound LZ direction!" Lao Wei closed his eyes and muttered: "Four million, the poisonous snake of Sanmiao Yu has hurt us deep enough, and the corpses in the north are their masterpieces!" This First Elder, with whom we have no grievances, why should we be so enemies of us? Sighing at the impermanence of the world, Old Wei bent down and crouched on the edge of the building, "It's a pity that the big leader can't be in charge, otherwise, it wouldn't be the turn of these young people to be rampant here!" "Brother Wei, you don't have to worry too much, something is in people, things are in heaven, we people have done what we need to do, just see if God can't open his eyes." That's right, how are you going to do the preparations? “

"Yes, your plan is almost complete, and all the critical parts of the FS power station have been planted with sufficient explosives, as long as you give the order." Lao Liu's excited tone showed his confidence in the success of the plan.

"Our granary is also in the area where the river will infestation, how much of the entire granary can be transported?" Lao Wei's tone became much more serious, "Now that most of it has been transported, plus the reserve space in the 4217 project, there is still enough food for 100,000 people to consume for five years!" As for the grain that cannot be transported, I have instructed them to stack the grain as high as possible, and we have also built a concrete embankment around the granary to prevent flooding, at least for a short time! Even if the flood comes up, the levee can be held for a long time. As for the defense of the county, the preliminary plan of the staff is as follows, a large number of mine arrays have been set up in HW Village, these explosives are provided by the Sixth Elder for free, very good directional explosives and individual mines, as long as they are properly arranged, it should not be a problem to destroy tens of thousands of zombies. Moreover, where we have set up fortress clusters, no matter which direction the zombies attack, they will be attacked by a combination of several other directions. ”

"Millions of zombies are besieging the city, and that little obstacle may be able to stop it, tell the soldiers to plant all the explosives under the fortress complex." Lao Wei lit a cigarette and handed it to Liu Xuetang, he couldn't remember how many he smoked. "How are the county's preparedness facilities?"

"The entire town on the east bank has been converted into a conjoined fortress, and almost all buildings above three floors can be used as sniper points! Every street was blocked by a wide wall of concrete with tons of concrete on which soldiers could be stationed, and the streets on both sides were filled with firepower, and our gasoline bottles, after several days of preparation, had dozens of tons of them ready to use. A few veteran workers at our technology factory also came up with the idea of refining animal fuel and vegetable fuel to replace gasoline! "Is it too late? Now the report from the cavalry has sent the zombie herd to Baima Slope less than ten miles, and in a few days, even if these man-eating guys are turtles, they will crawl under our noses. "There is a way, our workers have long found pine oil stored in a warehouse, which is a foreign trade product ready for export!" Coupled with the foundation we already have, it is still very convenient to refine flammable pine oil! According to conservative estimates, we only need to fight and refine at the same time, which is enough to produce at least 50 tons of oil! Liu Xuetang didn't plan to give up his defense immediately, "Think about it, in addition to the ammunition from the Sixth Elder, we now have an additional fuel for sustainable use!" That would be a garrison campaign for R County,,,"

Wei Zhongshu waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the chattering Lao Liu. "Hedong, you can't keep it, you didn't correctly estimate the ability of this group of living dead to fight, I've seen it." Lao Wei lowered his head and kicked the dust at his feet, "You can wait and see the intelligence video sent to us by the Sixth Elder, Sydney, Atlanta, New York, London, the resistance forces over there have all experienced the battle of more than a million zombies besieging the city, cough cough, think about it, the organizations of those countries, they all like to engage in all the soldiers, and the armament owned by an ordinary family is enough to equip a small platoon-level force!" Think about how resistant they are! Lao Wei's expression became much darker, he was not without confidence, he was stunned by the terrible images recorded in those terrible videos, just imagine the scene of resisting millions of zombies head-on! That's just impossible. "I know, but we don't have a choice, we can only prepare for the worst!" Lao Liu also looked helpless, the matter of the big leader's coma will be exposed sooner or later, and now the upper echelons are doing their best to delay the explosion of this time bomb, and the future of the settlement is already gloomy in the eyes of the current high-level commanders.

On the forward positions of RS County, most of the commanders had not yet received the news of the imminent siege of R County, and the morale here had not been hit in the slightest by the losses suffered by the 4th Regiment, on the contrary, under the deliberate concealment of the officers, this battle turned into a heroic event that could be sung and wept! It is also in line with the style of the previous government that liked to make white wine a celebration banquet! It's just that this time it's used in the military.

The cold wind in Siberia came ahead of schedule, ushering in a new rainy season in the subtropical province of GX, but this psoriasis-like light rain has lasted for a whole week, the muddy positions can no longer be excavated, and the entire front-line defense area has become a Ze country! Even the large number of wooden spurs that had just been beaten down began to slowly fall into the defensive areas of fields, roads, and groves, so that the front-line officers and soldiers who had worked hard for a long time couldn't help but curse and curse this bullshit ghost weather.

Niu Keshen was not idle, even if it was a grinding light rain outside, he had to finish what he was doing. Followed by a dozen guards, the gloomy Grand Master walked out into the rain, on a muddy dirt slope, the cow who stood still looked at the black crowd below, these people, or the guys called prisoners, were almost all the old units of the Sanmiao Coalition Army that had just been driven to the front line from the rear, and the crowd shivering in the cold autumn rain huddled together, trying to use the group to warm the body that was getting more and more wet in the rainy season, since the identity of the rebellion was confirmed, these sinners were strictly guarded, On their bare feet, even if they are working or going to the toilet, they even sleep with strong shackles--- which is used in prison to deal with felons, this is also a matter of no way, these guys are the elite of the Sanmiao Alliance, everyone has a strong fist and foot kung fu, but unfortunately, these strong-willed men are not the Wu Sangui in the Han family, they all chose the road of no return to avenge their deceased leader, they succeeded! The zombie hordes in the north are their masterpieces! Now, as the initiators of this incident, what they have to bear is naturally the anger of the entire settlement, including the people of Sanmiao who have surrendered! After several days of labor, I had to carry all kinds of rough benzene materials in the muddy wetlands - wooden stakes, stones, cement! All of them are heavy labor, and with the abuse of the supervising officers and soldiers and the deduction of food and drink, the physical strength of these people has been consumed to a limit, and it is not easy to stand here by still holding on. Raindrops continued to fall from the brim of the cow's wide-brimmed hat, the cow had a black face, and the arrival of the rain had completely ruined his plan for the construction of his position, and now these prisoners had become waste of food. Glancing viciously at the crowd below, the cow's expression became more and more ugly.

"You scumbags, listen to me, Lao Tzu is the head of the Fourth Regiment, Niu Caoshen, the big leader handed you over to me, just to give you a chance, a chance to make up for your merits!" Niu Caoshen couldn't help but want to snicker when he spoke, why did he have to do it himself every time he blackfaced? And it's always the kind of guy who lies in front of the big guys! "I know you're all bloody men, and I know you're haunted by King Aru's death! But those things are in the past, and the big boss can be blameless! However, someone has to pay for the crimes you commit! As he spoke, a large group of soldiers approached the prisoners, and this action made all the prisoners unable to resist retreating en masse, but to their surprise, the soldiers did not move very roughly, but they did open the shackles on everyone! Then, piles of knives and wooden bamboo shields and protective gear were thrown in front of the prisoners. The soldiers finished what they were doing, collectively retreated more than ten steps, and looked at the prisoners not far away with gloomy faces.

"I am honored to inform you that from now on, your prisoner status has been lifted, and at the same time, congratulations to all of you, you will be a member of the R County Combat Sequence! And I will be your commander, and I will care for you as you are your parents, until you go to King Aru, and until your rotten flesh is completely rotten, you will be loved by someone from me! Niu Keshen continued his speech on the dirt slope with a haha: "Don't misunderstand my kindness, think about your family, think about their situation!" If you do something, you will have a chance to be with them again! It's better than being a corpse, isn't it? "Villain, absolute villain, Niu Keshen has pondered the so-called human mind thoroughly! If I don't kill you, I want you to be grateful, and I will do something for you, which will be regarded as atonement, and now I will integrate you into the army regardless of your previous suspicions, and also give you the opportunity to reunite with your family after meritorious service, which is tantamount to a sound of heaven for the disheartened prisoners! Even if there are still suspicious people among the prisoners, they have already been moved by this seemingly fair quid pro quo--- anyway, it is death, and it is death to take a step forward and fight the zombies! If you take a step back and be shot by a soldier, you will die! It's better to give up this life and make meritorious deeds in exchange for the opportunity to reunite with your family! The state of mind of Sanmiao's elite rebels was introduced into the trap little by little by Niu Caoshen, the flickering king, and this condition is something that the drowning person cannot refuse before he is about to die! The crowd was in a commotion, and all kinds of chaotic discussions began to sound, but after a while, an old man stopped everyone's discussion, and he looked very ordinary, but the towering turban made people understand that this was a respected old man, his cheeks were thin, his forehead was shiny, his temples were bulging, and the dragon-like green tendons could be seen everywhere on his hands, this was a practitioner who was proficient in melee martial arts--- and the soldiers present were shocked by the momentum of this old man! The embarrassed goatee was not necessarily scattered on his chin, and a pair of bright eyes swept the cattle gentry in front of him, not at all because of the pain caused by labor or lack of food. There is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the rest of the three seedlings, and an old man who is too old has such momentum! Secretly surprised in his heart, Niu Keshen stopped the soldiers' action of pulling the bolt of the gun. "Captain Niu! Did you make an oath in front of all your brothers? Agree to let Sanmiao's sinners make up for their mistakes? The old man's voice was not loud, but in the place where thousands of people gathered, everyone could hear his words clearly. Spit a mouthful of thick phlegm to the side, and Niu Keshen put on a smiling face: "I have a mouthful of spittle and a nail, and I will never put a satellite!" As long as you work hard for the people of R County sincerely, as long as you can make meritorious contributions, I will never break my word! Look closely! "Suddenly, Niu Keshen took out a long piece of paper from his jacket pocket, and the careful staff department also passed the plastic for this order, at this moment, all the Sanmiao rebels were attracted by the object that shone slightly in the rain!" It's not that I said that you have no culture, or I'll read it to you, this is discussed by the staff of R County, and it has been approved by the big leader, so you have this opportunity! Niu Keshen shook the paper in his hand a few times triumphantly, and then picked it up and read: "By this order, amnesty is granted to all those who participated in the rebellion!" and ordered the fourth regiment commander, Niu Caoshen, to form the eighth death regiment! All those who have committed the crime of rebellion must be assigned to the Eighth Death Regiment and make meritorious contributions to be removed from death row! If the merit is greater, you can consider a complete pardon for the capital crime and grant him the treatment of a regular soldier! The crowd was boiling, although these mountain people, who had worked hard in the mountains all year round, and who had not been educated by the national policy and were illiterate, immediately understood the meaning of the font on that piece of paper, but this was an order nodded by the dreaded chief! However, this paper order still did not completely dispel the doubts of these people trapped in the mountains, and the old man took a few steps forward, and continued to ask with a cautious face: "It is not difficult for us to serve the battlefield!" But if we die, how can you keep your promise? Niu Keshen laughed, as if he had already seen through the concerns of these young people. The big chief has already thought about everything for your brothers, and it is true that you have committed a capital crime, but the big leader is not the kind of unreasonable person, he knows that the vast majority of you are coerced to commit a joint crime, and now that the first evil has been ambushed, naturally the accomplice will not be held responsible, but well, the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! The Great Leader has shown you a way, and if you don't take it, do whatever you want! If you don't want to do it, you can take a step forward now, and I, Niu Keshen, will immediately send him to the rear labor camp to report! I can tell you, when you get there, you might as well have a chance to turn positive here! Niu Keshen's face changed, and he continued with a sneer: "Old man, you heard clearly! I can also give you an answer to the question you asked, and the families of all brothers who die on the battlefield can enjoy the treatment of regular military dependents! It is also clearly marked on the attachment of this paper order! Anyone can see it! Now, let me ask again, have you figured it out? “

What else do you need to think? If you are not held accountable, you will be allowed to serve as a soldier and eat food, and you can be rewarded for meritorious service and exempted from hard labor by your family, how can there be such a good condition in the world! At that moment, hundreds of people fell to their knees, and the remaining dozen or so people who had not yet come to their senses also knelt honestly on the ground. Looking at the heads of these rebels, Niu Keshen smiled with satisfaction. This incorporation is tantamount to adding a subsidiary 800-strong melee regiment to himself, and he is clearly a small regiment leader, but in fact, he has already mastered the real power of the entire three super-organized regiments! Thinking that the war is imminent, the immortal feats he will make will make, if Niu Caoshen has a tail, he doesn't know how to go to the sky!

"Congratulations to Captain Niu, your team has added more manpower!" Xu Zhanguo, who was also born in the Praetorian Guard, came to the front at this moment, his eyes flickered, and he looked at the soldiers of the new Eighth Death Regiment below who began to equip weapons, "You're polite, Deputy Commander Xu, the work of restoring the formation of the fourth battalion has worked hard for you!" "For the prison army sent by this big leader, Niu Caoshen still doesn't dare to slack off, even if his military rank is a little higher than him, pick up close, he is still far from enough, recently rumors in the barracks that this new deputy regiment commander is very good at using a pistol, and he can easily concentrate a target the size of a soybean with a pistol within a hundred meters, and shoot continuously, without any mud and water!" By the way, all the ammunition was placed? ”

"Forty tons of 7.62 mm general-purpose ammunition, plus a new batch of nine-round grenadiers, two tons of high-explosive steel ball ammunition, the big leader also asked the military division to go to the Seraphs a few times, and won a lot of free mines for us!" Xu Zhan Guo talked eloquently and continued to introduce the current situation, "These mines are all new-style high-end goods, in addition to being installed according to the convention, they can also be used as ordinary grenades after pulling the safety bolt." Even ordinary untrained militia can be used. Looking at Niu Caoshen, whose face became impatient, Xu Zhan Guo added. What are the exact number of mines? Frowning, Niu Keshen asked. 700 broadsword mines, 1200 anti-infantry jumping mines, and another 50 anti-tank mines! "There is a smug taste in Xu Zhanguo's tone, especially the one that mentions the latter." What is the idea of these ghosts? It is enough to give some infantry mines, what are anti-tank mines used for? How many tons do those zombies weigh? After asking a few questions in a row, Niu was very angry and shook the water droplets on the brim of his hat, "Look at the current position, what the hell has it become!" Except for the arrangement on the main position, almost all the peripheral obstacles are now in vain, damn it, this bullshit weather. "Report the combat orders sent by the regiment commander, the general staff, and the brigade commander Qin." In the middle of the conversation, a herald walked in, saluted, and reported.

Hui Li took the order, and when he looked closely, there were only a few lines of small words written on it: "The Sanmiao Assault Battalion has completed its mission, seized the RS County Armament Stockpile, and has now transported two million rounds of ammunition back to the front line by water in one step!" According to the recommendation of the General Staff of the Front, 800,000 rounds of ammunition will be allocated to the forward positions. ”。 As soon as he finished reading the list, Niu Keshen, who was originally worried, became red again, "Hey, the brigade commander is really generous, and he did it quietly!" Hey! I haven't forgotten to pull our old brothers on the front line! Look, who said that our fourth regiment was raised by the stepmother! Today, I'll just say that we were raised by our own mothers! Ha ha! "Xu Zhan Guo didn't take a second look, in fact, he had already been informed, knowing that the Sanmiao Assault Battalion led by Xiong Peiyun bypassed the territory of RS 500,000 zombies from the familiar trail, and directly attacked the RS County Arsenal, where after fighting a fast and swift annihilation battle, nearly 3,000 zombies were killed, and the entire arsenal was successfully seized control of the entire arsenal, and a temporary water transport force was formed to transport the ammunition urgently needed by the front line from the R River route." Sanmiao's old department is still very useful, but why didn't they have the courage to attack the arsenal of RS County before? Niu suddenly patted his head and shouted, "It's not surprising, Sanmiao's previous military strength was some old-style muskets, even if that Yalu King is strong, his strength is very limited, plus a large number of zombies are gathered near the arsenal, as long as there is a little human smell, those cannibalistic guys will swarm, that is like now, our scattered cavalry has been harassing and teasing on the front line, and has seduced those zombie leaders in RS County to scream, at this time, they can't care about the backyard fire, you see, This is the map of the zombie group sent to us by the allies, and the zombies in this area are what we are currently facing, in terms of density and quantity, it is basically the same as the information I had before. "Although Niu Keshen has experience in the army, he has never gone to a military school, at most he is only a big-headed soldier, he is just lucky to get into the position of a regiment commander, this time let him look at the military map, even if he can't understand it, he is embarrassed not to look at it, so he has to pretend to understand, follow Xu Zhanguo's instructions, and slowly learn the essentials of the map." Xiao Xu, look, how do we fight this battle? Now it's raining and our original plans have been disrupted! I estimated that it would be difficult to open a good situation, so I simply asked for advice first, "I think, the original plan remains the same!" Xu Zhan Guo was also not polite, "Look, it turns out that our plan is to rely on the position and rely on a large number of traps to destroy the power of the zombies!" "But our traps are all soaked in water!" The cow's brows became more and more ugly, "Our trap is used to delay the zombies, and now it's all mud, how fast will these zombies go?" Xu Zhan Guo blinked mischievously, making the unenlightened Niu Keshen call his brain too numb, "yes, why do I keep bringing myself into the bend, I think, this battle has to be fought like this, okay, herald, immediately report to the brigade headquarters, just say, the RS County recovery campaign will start tomorrow!" ”
