"The pace of the other battalions is too slow," another week passed, and Gu Annan stared at the red flag on the sand table representing the gradual westward advance of the government army, looking a little anxious.

"Brother Nan, it's our speed that is too fast," Xi Yongliang said with a smile, he came to Changxing with Gu Annan, and now he has a staff officer position in the pioneer battalion.

"Fortunately, we are fighting zombies, they don't know any tactics, if they face other enemies, one step may be slow." Gu Annan sighed, he was different from other officers, he had led troops to fight, and handled government affairs at the local level, so he had a deeper understanding of the impact of the war on people's livelihood.

Although he is on the front line of Changxing, he will pay attention to what happens in Chongming and Hengsha every day, especially the recent cracks in several major cases in Xuandong, which makes him even more applauded.

"Chen Bin is not simple, and that Cai Wenyue is even more not simple," mentioning these two people who rose in Xuandong, Gu Annan admired it a little, Xuandong has too many memories of him, so he often worries about that side after leaving.

Zhu Shibin and Zhu Xi, brother and sister, would call Gu Annan from time to time, and Gu Annan's understanding of the recent situation in Xuandong mainly came from the two brothers and sisters. After recalling his years in Xuandong for a while, Gu Annan turned his attention back to the sand table in front of him.

"Old Xi, I'm going to set up a fence at this location on the west side of Panshi Town," Gu Anan said, pointing to a place on the sand table.

"Sand Farm?" Xi Yongliang came to the sand table and carefully looked at the position where Gu Annan planned to use troops, "If things are done here, the threat of our right flank will be completely lifted, and the brothers of the 24th battalion can also be quickly replenished." ”

"That's right," Gu Annan nodded, "Instead of sitting and waiting for their progress like this, let's do it ourselves, open the way for them, and speed up the pace of the attack." ”

"The sand farm is surrounded by water on three sides, with the Chuanghong River on the south side, the Luogang River on the east side, and the Chuangxin River on the west side. Three rivers circle this place into a pocket, and the mouth of the pocket is on the north side. With the mobile unit as the vanguard, we brought all the zombies in the area north to the Yangtze River into this pocket, and finally closed this pocket on the sand farm. Gu Annan told his plan, intending to let Xi Yongliang help him pick up the gaps.

"This location will be more troublesome," Xi Yongliang thought for a while, and pointed to the place between Jianxing South Road and Panshi 1st Road, "The residential areas in this area are very dense, and it is very dangerous to carry out the lure mission here. ”

"The size of the danger is relative to different people, for ordinary troops, it is indeed very dangerous to operate here, but I have a card in my hand that no one else has, so I am very confident."

"You mean the special operations team?" Xi Yongliang asked.

"Zhang Si has raised the strength of this squad to a higher level, and it is not a loss that he is an elite from the SWAT commando team," Gu Annan spoke highly of Zhang Si, which was not only based on Zhang Si's background, but also based on his combat performance in Changxing.

It's just that what Gu Annan doesn't know is that Zhang Si can have such strength, which is also the result of his continuous training in the apocalyptic disaster. It is really not easy for a person to find almost every inch of land in Songhu City in an environment infested with zombies, Zhang Si survived, and his body and consciousness are more adapted to this environment, just like a fighter who walks out of the Shura field, often the person who the god of death is most reluctant to take away.

"The mobility ability of the special operations team far exceeds that of other units, and their individual combat ability is also very strong, we have seen the previous anti-bandit operation and the subsequent assault operation, so I think it is feasible to use them here."

"Brother Nan, I don't think it's a problem for you to say that," Xi Yongliang nodded and said, he didn't agree with what he said, but did go through his own consideration.

After the plan was decided, Gu Annan reported it to the military leadership, and he is no longer as reckless as he was when he was grabbing food for the people in Xuandong, and he has learned to follow the rules of the organization after the ups and downs.

"Lao Gu, you are just worrying about your life, don't drill the horns of the bull in case of trouble, maybe there will be a chance to recover in the future."

"As the saying goes, as big as your ass, you wear as big pants as you want. You are a person who is capable of doing great things, and if you are trampled into the mud, it is a loss for the country. ”

"Lao Gu, if you want to do things for Chongming, you have to stand on a high place, do you understand what I mean?"

Ling Shidong's original words were still in his ears, and Gu Annan still felt a little guilty when he thought of this officer who was dragged down by himself in the grain robbery incident. When Ling Shidong enlightened him at that time, he was still a little stubborn, and it wasn't until the moment he left Xuandong that he understood the words of this colleague.

Xu is "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", after Gu Annan left Xuandong, it was like an empowerment, and then looking back on the past, he actually found many shortcomings in it. He learned a lesson, saved three times a day, and changed to a place that was more suitable for him to display his talents, and for a while he was like a hidden dragon out of the abyss, and he did a good job in Changxing.

The battle plan was quickly approved, and there was little resistance in between. Because Gu Annan's plan is completely based on the overall situation, without any selfishness, it is tantamount to using his own troops to help friendly troops complete the task. As long as the operation is successfully completed, all areas north of the Chuanghong River, from Fuxing Village and Panshi Town to Xinjian River, will be incorporated into the security zone, and the defensive line can be advanced by a significant distance.

Moreover, after that area was controlled by the government army, it would be easy to take the narrow section on the south side of the Chuanghong River, when the right flank of the pioneer battalion was worry-free, and the left flank was covered by the Yangtze River and the river troops, and the front of the troops would be unimpeded.

When he first came to Changxing, there was only one special operations squad in the pioneer battalion, but now because of the needs of combat missions, it has been expanded into a special operations brigade, and this brigade has two squads, and Zhang Si has now become the captain of one of the squads.

When the most dangerous task was assigned to the head, no one in the special operations team thought of backing down, and everyone's mood was very high, and the desire to fight was also very strong.

The operation finally began, the pioneer battalion was almost fully deployed, most of them were arranged to be near the sand farm, the "pockets" there were arranged, and a few soldiers and two special operations teams set off to the north to lure the zombies over in the vast area on the west side of the front.

Zhang Xi's special operations team has one person and one car, and the place they are going to is near the most dangerous Jianxing South Road, which is a large and dense residential area, and the number of zombies is also very large.

After his team crossed the Panshi Flood Control Bridge, they dispersed, and everyone went to the designated area to operate.

When Zhang Xi divided the area of action for his team, he left the most dangerous place to himself, and he drove the car towards that side, gradually feeling that the car was running a little wrong along the way.

This strange feeling is not too obvious, but Zhang Xi can still feel it, he thought it was just the reason for the old engine, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, because he had also checked the fuel gauge, tire pressure and brake system before departure, and there was no problem.

When the car arrived at Panshi Road, a large number of zombies at the back of the car had dropped out, and those zombies followed the back of the car from a distance, with a tendency to gather more and more.

Zhang Si continued to move forward, his eyes constantly searching the sides of the road, he was already approaching the area of his mission, so his vigilance was also raised to the highest level.

After some more distance, the car suddenly broke down when it entered a small road in the middle of the house.

"What's going on!" Zhang Si restarted the car but couldn't start, he turned his head and looked at the fuel gauge again, and found that it was not the reason for the fuel bottoming out. The car stopped, and the distance between it and the zombies behind the car gradually shortened.

Seeing that the zombies were about to surround him, Zhang Si hurriedly jumped out of the car to check the fault problem. "Hell, it's the engine that's broken," he angrily slapped the hood of the car, thought about it and calmed it down.

Zhang Si picked up a slender stick from the side of the road, then unscrewed the lid of the fuel tank and reached inside.

"...... And so it was. Zhang Si took out the stick in his hand and threw it on the ground after taking a look, already knowing a little in his heart.

The car's fuel tank was drained of a lot of fuel before departure, and the pumped oil was replaced with water and poured into the tank. Because oil is less dense than water, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will rise to the top. After the oil is gradually sucked into the engine by the oil pump, the next thing that continues to be sucked in is the water in the tank, or the oil-water mixture that still has a little bit of oil left.

Water is sucked into the engine because it is incompressible in the cylinder, so it can cause the connecting rods in the engine to deform and twist, and the crankshaft, pistons, and even the piston may even punch the cylinder head through.

Zhang Si could only preliminarily find out the reason why the car broke down, and he didn't know the specific location of the fault, and he didn't have time to find out, because the zombies had already surrounded him.

Turning back to the car and picking up his weapon, he ran in the direction of the fewest zombies without looking back.

There were hundreds of zombies surrounding the broken down car, and when they saw the car parked on the road, a living person came down from it, and the zombies excitedly chased Zhang Si and forced him to the north.

Because it is located in a densely populated area, there are still large residential houses on the north side of this path, and the paths are criss-crossed, and zombies wander everywhere.

Zhang Si has experienced too many such scenes in the past six months or so, and his brain no longer needs to think and judge, and his body's instinct knows how to deal with it. He fled north, trying to get out of the area and shake off the horde of zombies that followed.

Almost all of the comrades-in-arms are arranged in the south, and even the action area assigned by the other members of the special operations team is not a short distance from here, if the car is not broken, this distance can be said to be insignificant, but now Zhang Xi has no car, and he must rely on his two legs to escape from the corpse.
