***************
After Chen Yuan took Sun County, he let the troops rest for a week.
Although the battle of Sunxian was fought easily, some soldiers were still wounded or killed.
Wounded fighters need to recuperate and recover, and vacancies for sacrificed and disabled fighters must be filled in a timely manner.
A week later, Chen Yuan attacked Shuangshan Town, 86 kilometers south of the Iron Fort.
Although it is only a town with a population of 130,000, there is also a corpse.
The troops of the Self-Salvation Army and the Oil City also used the tactic of luring the enemy first and then attacking.
However, this time only 20,000 zombies were lured out of the city.
In Shuangshan Town, 110,000 zombies were left behind, relying on the city walls and the town's buildings.
The troops of the Self-Salvation Army and the Oil City concentrated their forces to launch a strong attack from the south to the north this time. Together with the special operations units and artillery regiments of the Self-Salvation Army, there are nearly 40,000 people.
It is only about 110 kilometers from the city of Qiha. It is only 52 kilometers away from the corpse army in Neihe City. If the zombies here are allowed to flee to the south, it will cause a chain reaction and eventually alarm the corpse king in Qiha City.
That's why Chen Yuan and the others went around to the south of Shuangshan Town to attack.
They marched steadily and steadily, step by step, to the north. The battle was fierce and lasted for 3 days before it ended.
The corpse army of Shuangshan Town still failed to escape the end of annihilation.
The strength of today's self-help army has long been different from what it used to be.
There are not many supplies in Shuangshan Town, but there are also a lot. In the past, it was a well-known agricultural area in China, managing 12 large state-owned farms in the vicinity. The mountains of grain found in a few giant granaries alone are many times more than those found in Sun County before! The oil cities involved in the operation naturally got a lot. Let the person in charge of the oil city who led the team be addicted, or this kind of business without capital comes with quick money.
In addition, of course, there is also a large number of farm machinery here. There is no shortage of steel forts in this area, but they are important to the oil city. In the past, the area around Daqing was dominated by the development of the oil industry, and the agriculture was much behind other regions.
Therefore, although the oil city also cultivated land before, more than half of it was cultivated by hand. Now, with the agricultural machinery here, the farmland near the oil city will be able to be mechanized next year.
***********
This time, the troops suffered many casualties, and the self-rescue army rested for half a month.
It wasn't until late December that preparations began to continue the operation, and this time, they were targeting the last force of corpses within 100 kilometers of the Iron Castle, the town of Grad, 97 kilometers northwest of the Iron Castle.
At the military meeting before the war, Chen Yuan and the others said: "Although there are only 80,000 zombies in Grad Town, it is not easy to deal with. ”
"Yes." Liu Jinlong added: "The town of Grad was built in a valley, and the terrain here is very unfavorable for our tanks to carry out operations. According to reconnaissance, there are many places in the town of Grad where tanks and armored vehicles cannot get up. ”
"That's really not easy!" Zhang Zeshan said solemnly: "Without the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, if a single infantry moves, the casualties may be very large. ”
Jiang Wenli said: "What's worse is that if the corpse general discovers our weakness, it is likely to concentrate its troops in these areas and entangle us. Then the casualties will be even greater. ”
Zhang Fatzi said: "But this group of zombies also has to be removed." They are too close to our railway line into the Great Khing'an Mountains. On several occasions small forces have been sent to attack the trains we are passing by. Although all were repulsed by our armored trains. But this is the most important road for us to retreat into the Greater Khing'an Mountains, and safety must be guaranteed. ”
Zhang Zhen agreed: "Yes! ”
In the face of the increasingly serious zombie crisis, Chen Yuan and the others had prepared for the worst. That is, one day in the future, if it is really impossible to fight, it will give up the steel fortress and everyone will withdraw into the mountains of the Great Khing'an Mountains. And this railway into the mountains is one of their most important passages.
Du Ruhai also interjected at this time: "I heard that the Corpse King Legion in Zheng City in the south has destroyed my railway to Wu City?" There's no guarantee that the zombies here will do the same in the future. If the time came to retreat and the railroad was cut off, the problem would be very serious. There are many things that cannot be removed. ”
"What!" Obviously, among the people present, there were still people who didn't know the news, and they were taken aback when they heard Du Ruhai's words. Zhang Zhen immediately asked, "Then we won't be able to get the titanium metal of Wushi!" ”
And he immediately realized a more serious problem, and continued to ask: "What about Xinjiang Province?" The railway from here to Xinjiang Province has to pass through several corpse king legions, Qiha City, Hoh, Bao City, Jinchuan, the corpse king in these places won't do the same, right? Then the railway communication between us and Xinjiang Province will not be interrupted! ”
The rest of the crowd also looked at Chen Yuan.
However, Chen Yuan was an old god, and he didn't look very careful.
He smiled and said to the others, "Indeed, we only found out about this situation yesterday on the train heading south, and it is indeed very likely that the other Corpse King Legions will do the same. However, the situation is not as serious as this. Especially in the south, the rail network is far more developed than we think. Whether we go to Wushi or Xinjiang Province, we can all bypass it from other places. ”
For example, Chen Yuan said: "For example, if we go to Xinjiang Province, we can go from a small railway between Wulan City and the same city to bypass Hoh, Baoshi and Jinchuan. It's the same with going to Takeshi. ”
He continued: "The main problem now is the city of Qiha. Although the corpse king army here has no intention of cutting off the railroad at present. But I guess they'll do that in the future. The time may be just after the beginning of spring next year. And I don't have a place to get around. ”
"What then?" Zhang Zhen asked anxiously.
Wu Chaogui smiled and replied, "What can I do?" If you build a section of the railway to bypass Qiha City, you can't give up the entire country's railway network for this section of the railway. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time knocked on his skull and smiled: "Hehe, I forgot, we can repair it ourselves." ”
Jiang Wenli asked with concern: "Then how long is the railway to be built?" ”
Wu Chaogui replied: "Because the Corpse King's control range of zombies can reach 35 kilometers, we must operate outside this range. It is expected to build a railway from Zhonghe Station in the south of Fufu County to the Yanguan Station, 60 kilometers west of Daqing. The distance in a straight line is 74 km. We've sent people to do field research. Many farmers have nothing to do in the winter, and if there are many people, we can try to complete the construction of this railway before the beginning of spring. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Chen Yuan finally brought the topic back to the main content of today's meeting. He said, "Okay, let's talk about the operation in the town of Grad this time. While tanks and armored vehicles may not be usable in some areas this time, we're ready to use a new piece of equipment! ”
Many cadres in the conference room of the "new equipment ......" have come! Think of the new assault rifle! The new equipment produced by the Self-Rescue Army is very exciting!
