****************
The first phase of the Battle of Gedaqi was over, and although only one corpse was killed, it was still a gain. Killing a corpse collar means that an army of 10,000 elite zombies is gone.
Thus began the second phase of the operation.
At 7 o'clock in the morning of January 15, in a low temperature of more than minus 30 degrees, the main force of 9,000 troops of the Self-Rescue Army set off from Fort Steel with 5 field infantry regiments, 1 fire support regiment, 2 artillery battalions, tank battalions and sniper brigades.
Some of them traveled in cars, and huge convoys lined up on the national highway to advance quickly.
The other part will be on trains, and both armored trains will take part in the operation.
The two forces will eventually converge 30 kilometres southeast of Gedaqi and then begin their respective operations.
At the same time, at the hunting ground resource point to the north, there is also a force of about 300 men that is approaching Gedaqi in the south.
Halfway south, the helicopter group from the Iron Castle departed.
After more than half a year of development, the Self-Rescue Force either purchased it from Xinha City, or found it by itself, and already had 6 transport helicopters and 4 armed helicopters.
They will take two elite infantry companies of the 1st Field Regiment, with a force of more than 200 men, to the east of Gedaqi.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Xu Kai reported to Chen Yuan: "Fort commander, all troops have arrived at the designated position and completed the deployment. ”
"Then let's get started, order the decoy troops to act! Make every effort to attract zombies out of the city, and attract as many as you can! Chen Yuan in the temporary command headquarters gave the order for the official start of the second phase of the operation.
"Yes!"
So the order was issued, and the decoy units of the Self-Salvation Army, which had secretly infiltrated the suburbs in three directions of Gedaqi, acted simultaneously and harassed the urban area of Gedaqi.
Loudspeakers, grenades, and gunshots, all kinds of violent noises rang out at once from three directions of Gedaqi. In an instant, the tranquility of Gedaqi was completely shattered. It has finally awakened the countless zombies in Gedaqi.
They roared as if they had been hit with a strong stimulant, and rushed towards the place where the noise had been.
In the headquarters, the soldiers in charge of monitoring the battlefields with satellites immediately reported: "Fort Chief, the zombies in Gedaqi have moved!" Decoy troops are moving in three directions for us! ”
Chen Yuan immediately ordered: "Order the bait troops to start fighting and retreating, but tell them not to be too fast, it's winter, and the speed of zombies is very slow!" Inform the decoy troops to the southeast to lure the zombie horde towards our ambush. Order the troops on the other two sides to lure the zombie herd away from Gedaqi at least 15 kilometers by any means. ”
So in the command headquarters, everyone saw three torrents pouring out of Gedaqi from the screen. Gradually, it got farther and farther away, heading in three directions.
Soon after, the number of zombies attracted from the three directions was also counted. The southeast direction attracted the most zombies, nearly 20,000. Because there are the most decoy troops here, there are two battalions of more than 700 people.
More than 10,000 zombies were also lured away in the other two directions.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the decoy troops in the southeast finally lured the 20,000 zombies here to the ambush circle of the main force of the Self-Rescue Army.
It is a narrow valley running north-south, also 15 kilometers from Gedaqi. The reason why the ambush location was chosen here is that the control range of the corpse collar is usually only 10 kilometers. Beyond 10 km, they can no longer control the zombies.
The strength of the Self-Salvation Army's 5 field infantry regiments, 1 fire support regiment and 1 tank battalion was arranged here in a large pocket formation.
The battle began after most of the zombies entered the pocket array.
20,000 ordinary zombies without corpse control, facing the ambush of nearly 9,000 heavily armed self-rescue officers and soldiers, there was no suspense in the battle.
In less than ten minutes, the battle was over, and all 20,000 zombies were wiped out!
A company commander of the Self-Rescue Army smacked his lips while directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, feeling that the battle was really not interesting enough. It's just the beginning of the excitement, and it's over. 20,000 zombies seems like a lot, but it's not enough for each of them to divide two and a half.
In particular, the newly formed 6th Infantry Regiment of the Self-Salvation Army is simply stupid.
It's okay to say that you can fight an ambush and lie down on the position and shoot condescendingly.
As a result, within a few minutes of the start of the fight, there were still more than 10,000 zombies below. The other troops next door had already jumped out of their positions and rushed down. And one ran faster than the other, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to drink the soup if he ran slowly.
And it's true, they reacted half a beat slower than others, and when they rushed down, the zombies had already been carved up by the people of other troops, you have to be kind enough to help, and others won't let them. Otherwise, how will the battle merits be divided at that time? It's not enough!
At this time, they really realized the fierceness of the self-help army. Monster snatching isn't so strong! Hum! Just know how to bully newcomers!
The next third phase of the battle also began very quickly, at 12 noon. The officers and men had already had lunch early, and without resting, they marched directly to Gedaqi.
However, after the troops of the Self-Rescue Army entered the range of 10 kilometers from Gedaqi, Chen Yuan immediately received a report of the movement of the zombies in Gedaqi, saying: "Fort Chief, the corpse leader in Gedaqi should have discovered our troops, and they began to gather troops and set up roadblocks in the southeast direction. Another group of corpses led the way into the forests east of Gedaqi, and our satellites were unable to track them. ”
"Into the forest?" Chen Yuan frowned.
Wei Chen said, "It seems that they are preparing to sneak around from the forest to attack us. It's better to give us a surprise attack like the corpse general did last time. ”
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "It's possible!" ”
Then he immediately said to Xu Kai: "Old Xu, you immediately send a reconnaissance team to the forest where the zombies disappeared, be sure to find their location." ”
"Understood."
Chen Yuan immediately said: "In addition, by the way, inform my uncle and ask him to pay attention to the surrounding movements." The forest is too big to send reconnaissance troops alone. ”
After years of recuperation, the vegetation coverage rate in the Daxing'an Mountains area has recovered a lot. To the east of Gedachi is a large area of lush coniferous forest. Even in this harsh winter, zombies will disappear immediately when they enter the forest. The real one is the forest sea snow field, and when the zombies enter it, it is like a fish entering the sea, and it is very difficult to find it.
Xu Kai nodded and gave the order.
Chen Shusheng is a wood-based ability, he can sense the movements of surrounding enemies through the surrounding plants, and is an active radar. The forest was the most suitable battlefield for him, and the denser the vegetation, the greater the range he could scout. Here, his reconnaissance radius is probably up to 5 km!
And the fire support regiment has too many heavy weapons for assault operations, so this time they are still responsible for staying at the headquarters for defense. At the same time, Chen Yuan also absorbed the lessons of the previous time and left an additional 6th Infantry Regiment in the headquarters as a reserve force.
