Chapter 082: Desire. The kind of hope
Ding You frowned and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind.
"Professor Yan, did you record all the coordinates I fed back before I came back just now?"
"Recorded, boss, don't worry, the area is not large, and through calculation processing, an area that is most likely to hide the underground laboratory has been demarcated."
Yan Liang is an expert in radio and information communication, so this kind of thing is not difficult to do.
"Old Xiao, take stock of the existing ground-penetrating bombs, and at dawn tomorrow, we will start the shelling of the ninth district on time!"
"Oh?"
"You, you've made up your mind?"
Everyone was surprised by Ding You's decision, they didn't expect the counterattack to start so quickly. However, thinking of the horror of the white phosphorus bomb, it is also good to prepare early, after all, time cannot be delayed indefinitely, and there is not much time left for the base to prepare.
"Boss, what about the attack range?"
Zhao Gang asked almost at the same time as Xiao Han.
"That's my opinion." Ding You looked around at everyone and continued:
"The guns of both companies were all in position, and the first shell was fired at the area I had explored, followed by an armed drone dropping a ground-penetrating bomb. After the fight, we are given a few minutes to react, and we will observe whether they will hurry up and transfer the machinery and raw materials.
If they don't move, we will bombard that area, and in addition, we should also strengthen the judgment of other areas where finished white phosphorus bombs may be stored, and attack immediately as soon as they are discovered, and try not to give the other side a chance to counterattack. ”
Ding You's idea is almost just talking on paper, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is possible to grasp it in advance. This method is to make a preliminary reference, and after going back later, presumably Zhao Gang will have to improve it with Cheng Hai and Xiao Han.
However, it is already a sure thing to start tomorrow morning, and everyone is eager to try this battle, because it means whether the Deep Blue Star Base can rise or not.
Victory or defeat was in this battle, and even Ren Xiaobai ran back to the main control center in high spirits and began various preparations before the battle.
Since the decision was made in the middle of the night, Ding You asked everyone to convey the spirit of the meeting after they returned. Tomorrow's battle will either not be fought, or if it is to be fought, it will be a good result.
After everyone left, Ding You sat in the living room, accompanied by Chen Nuo and Yao Songlin.
Seeing Yao Songlin and Chen Nuo both looking at him with concern, Ding You suddenly laughed, touched his forehead, and asked:
"Uncle Yao, Xiaonuo, sometimes I think that our steps are a little too fast. It's only been a few months, huh? In three months, we're going to go to war with that behemoth in District 9! This is something I couldn't even think of before! ”
That's right, if you go back 3 months, when you go to District 9 with two big bags on your back to exchange crystal cards, and then look at District 9 with curiosity like a bun from the countryside to the city. Ding You would never have thought that in just three months, he would have to break with the Ninth District, or even meet with swords.
But who is to blame for all this?
It seems that no one can blame it.
Because everyone has **, Pan Wu in the ninth district wanted to occupy Ding You's food, so he forced Ding You to leave the old base and find a new base camp.
And Ding You also has **, he wants to survive safely, with Chen Nuo, Yao Songlin and Xiaoyu, and with so many poor people in the Deep Blue Star Base.
In the last days, there may be no right or wrong, just a difference in starting point.
There is no way to return here, either you die or I die!
And Ding You is obviously more eager to live, even for the sake of so many people who need to rely on themselves to survive.
Or is it justice!
Chen Nuo and Yao Songlin didn't say anything, for them, their firm support at the critical moment was the greatest encouragement to Ding You.
……
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the entire Deep Blue Star Base was already busy. It is estimated that Yao Songlin didn't sleep all night, because early in the morning, Ding You saw that several canteens in the base were all wafting fragrance.
Residents lined up in an orderly manner to eat, and the breakfast was changed from the previous soybean milk bread and white porridge to sweet potato porridge boiled with sweet potatoes, ginkgo seeds, red dates and other raw materials.
And not only that, Ding You also discovered mutton tofu soup. Oh my God, the mutton tofu soup with fungus and shreds in it, drink a bowl, the whole person will be warm, it is definitely a rare delicacy in the depths of winter.
Uncle Yao, what is this going to do?
Ding You couldn't laugh or cry a little, this was just firing at the ninth district, not rushing to the execution ground, how could he make a breakfast like a severed head meal.
However, the residents have also been informed that there is a big operation in the base today, so they eat in an orderly manner, and after eating, under the guidance of the vigilant patrol guards, they enter the warehouse under the underground of the management center in an orderly manner.
Although the Vault has also begun to use armed robots to clean up zombies, it is too large because of the large number of zombies, and it will take time to clean up those zombies that have been destroyed. There was no time to complete the task for the time being, so the residents couldn't go there.
In addition to the main control information center on the third floor of the basement, there are two basements above, and the space is not small, and it is not difficult to temporarily settle hundreds of people in an air-raid shelter.
Of course, it would be unrealistic to cram more than a thousand people into it, but excluding the armed personnel of the combat units and the vigilant patrol force, the number of pure residents is not particularly large.
Therefore, in order to prevent a possible counterattack from the Ninth District, Ding You "hidden" them all for the sake of insurance.
On one side, the residents were evacuated in an orderly manner, and on the other side, the combat troops were massing to the frontline positions below the mountain.
Although the current number of armed personnel in the Deep Blue Star Base is not very large, the corresponding mechanized equipment is still quite complete.
Not only armored vehicles, but also light tanks, not to mention the artillery positions that had been set up on the periphery of the new city under the mountain.
According to the arrangement, before the start of the shelling operation, tanks and armored vehicles were supposed to move out of the base. When the attack officially begins, they should remain 2 kilometers outside the 9th Sector to form the first line of defense, and be alert to the possible counterattack of the 9th Sector at any time.
The few anti-aircraft guided vehicles, because no one knows how to operate them, can only be parked in the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain.
Xiao Han took a group of fighters and shoulder-mounted portable anti-aircraft missile launchers to a place 10 kilometers outside the Deep Blue Star Base to form a second interception line of defense. Of course, whether the effect is good or not, it's really hard to say for the time being.
The last main attacking force was naturally the howitzers of the two artillery batteries left on the artillery positions at the foot of the mountain. 12 self-propelled howitzers, now lined up, that momentum is still very strong.
In order to fight this battle well, Ding You has been able to put all the power in his hands into it. In addition to allocating a field communications command vehicle to Xiao Han to facilitate the operation of artillery, Ding You even organized a temporary fire brigade at the main base and in the new town under the mountain to prevent possible fires.
The tanks and armored vehicles had already set off while the residents were having breakfast, and by the time they had settled in the base, they had already arrived at their intended positions.
The radar station is always monitoring the 9th district, everything is normal at the moment, there is nothing unusual, and all the gun ports of the artillery positions have been adjusted in place, and the first target is the inner city factory area of the 9th district.
The time finally came to launch an attack, without deliberately looking for an auspicious time, Ding You stood in the center of the main control confidence, and after taking a few deep breaths, he spit out two words full of infinite anticipation: "Fire!" ”
Suddenly, there was a rumbling cannon sound in the mountains, and the earth seemed to be shaken, trembling and shaking.
According to the pre-plan, the first and second guns were to lure the snake out of the hole, but judging from the signals transmitted by the radar display screen and the drones monitoring around the battlefield, there was no sign of the city in the ninth district running from the inside out. It seems that the other party is very hidden, and there seems to be a plan for Ding You's attack.
"Boss, the news from the radar station seems that someone from the outer city of District 9 is moving towards the inner city!"
"What?" Ding You was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that this must be a poisonous plan thought up by the powerful people in the ninth district, and they actually drove the innocent survivors to the target point of the artillery attack, so that the shelling of the Deep Blue Star Base will definitely cause a large number of casualties among innocent people.
"All fire, target, give me a quick bang!" Ding You was anxious, this situation was a deviation from what he had expected, if he didn't hurry up to bomb, after those survivors in the outer city were driven into the inner city, he would really become a butcher!
With Ding You's order, all 12 guns in the artillery position began to pour shells, and every shot in half a minute was able to fire 24 grenades in one minute.
The cannon sound in the mountains was louder, and Ding You in the basement could hear it clearly, and the inner city of the ninth district was all in a sea of fire at this time, and the smoke was filled, and many buildings collapsed and ignited fires.
Affected by the blast wave, the action of driving the survivors from the outer city to the inner city was also slow, after all, facing the center of the explosion, those soldiers of the 9th District who received the order would themselves be afraid.
"Professor Yan, has the intensity of electronic interference increased? Don't let those soldiers be too obedient! Ding You was afraid that they would be forced by the pressure of the sensor collar to drive the survivors away at all costs, so he asked the radar station to increase the connection interference between the sensor collar and the chip in Area 9.
Things began to develop in a better direction, and with the targeted bombardment of armed drones carrying small bombs, the ninth district, which was suppressed by the fire of the Deep Blue Star base, did not see any resistance.
The drones of the 9th District, which hurriedly flew out of the city wall, were also deployed in the first interception range, and the anti-aircraft machine guns of tanks and armored vehicles on the side of the Deep Blue Star base were taken down.
There was a faint yellow-white substance falling down in the sky, Ding You looked at the image, and his heart tightened, sure enough, it was a white phosphorus bomb.
It's just that now the sky over the battlefield is filled with black smoke, and Ding You can't be sure whether the target has been eliminated, or whether most of the threats have been eliminated.
The artillery fire still didn't dare to stop, and Ding You felt that consuming some ammunition was not a big problem, as long as the threat could be completely eliminated.
"Boss, look!"
Hearing Ren Xiaobai's shout, Ding You looked at the radar screen and found that the lines marked as the city wall of the ninth district began to break, what happened? Is this the people of the 9th arrondissement who want to break through?
They don't go through the gates, they just blow up their own walls?
