Chapter 20: The Dark Tide Surges
At this time, except for the sound of gunfire and screams from time to time, no other sound could be heard in Jiangxin City, and the whole city was like a city of death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Television signals were completely cut off, communications were completely paralyzed, electricity and water supplies were intermittent, and most of the survivors did not know what to do now, so they had to lock their doors and wait for rescue.
Jiangxin City, as an important town in the south, has a permanent strength of one division, plus military police and reserve forces, with an armed force of about 15,000 people.
After the mutation occurred, this unit received an order from the Southern Theater Command, took quick action, mobilized almost all the troops, set off from the station, along the Binjiang Avenue, cleaned up the monsters along the way, and went directly to the Gudang District where the Jiangxin City Government is located, and took the city government building as the center to clear out a safe area, and at the same time demarcated a buffer zone, and sent a team to control the various traffic arteries to block the progress of the monsters.
Division Commander Liao Yongzhi and Chief of Staff Pei Feng personally commanded the frontline, communicated and coordinated with the main responsible persons of the government, and took decisive measures to resettle the homeless people and rescue the seriously injured.
"Report!"
In the headquarters, Liao Yongzhi's thinking was interrupted by the communicator's report, he put down the pencil in his hand, rubbed his somewhat swollen eyes, and said, "Come in!" ”
This division commander with a face of Chinese characters and dark skin is a tough guy who has been on a real battlefield, but when he saw these black monsters suddenly appearing in the fortifications on the front line, brutally and tyrannically overturning a tank to the ground and frantically biting his soldiers, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness and uneasiness in his heart.
Is this kind of monster really human-capable of dealing with? Will there be more terrifying monsters in the future?
He didn't know, he only knew that as a soldier, his duty was to defend the land and the people from infringement, whether the enemy he faced was an ordinary human or these mysterious and unknown monsters, he had no hesitation.
The communicators brought some bad news, except for the Gudang District, the remaining urban areas were very stalemate, the teams sent out suffered heavy casualties, the battle line was constantly shrinking, and the nearest buffer zone was less than 100 meters away from the Gudang District.
"The General Staff recommends that reinforcements be requested from the Theater Command immediately, fighter jets will be sent, and the powerful firepower of the Air Force will be used to clear the monster ...... that appear in the city"
Pei Feng, the thin and tall chief of staff, looks very delicate, not like a soldier, but more like a star active in the entertainment industry, he followed the words of the correspondent and put forward the advice of the staff to Liao Yongzhi. The General Staff is responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence in wartime, providing the most practical advice to combat commanders, but in the current situation, the General Staff is not able to make effective recommendations. The monsters roaring on the battlefield were beyond their knowledge, and everyone was in an atmosphere of trepidation.
"Fighter jets? Then Jiangxin City is going to be completely ruined......"
Liao Yongzhi sighed softly, as a native of Jiangxin, he didn't want to see his hometown become a real battlefield.
"Division Commander, Jiangxin City...... It's ruined ......"
Pei Feng knew Liao Yongzhi's thoughts very well, but he looked at the billowing smoke outside the window, and still dutifully performed his duties as a staff officer and analyzed the current situation for Liao Yongzhi.
"Our primary goal now is to keep the only safe area in the Gudang area and rescue more trapped people, which is also the operational order given to us by the theater command......
After a slight pause, Pei Feng held his eyes and continued: "The General Staff also suggests that all heavy weapons in the arsenal be issued to each squad, and all the armored vehicles of the armored brigade should be used in a decentralized manner, combined with the infantry, effectively allocate firepower, and improve the combat efficiency of each combat team......"
"In addition......" Pei Feng suddenly leaned in front of Liao Yongzhi and whispered: "The soldiers who have undergone abnormal changes after entering the light group have been isolated, and the current number is nine people, and we are still continuing to screen...... However, these fighters seem to have gained some special abilities, their combat effectiveness is very strong, and there are no abnormal states so far, do you think these fighters should be organized into a special combat group to support the front-line operations? ”
"There is no abnormality at present, it does not mean that there will be no ...... in the future" Liao Yongzhi shook his head slightly, and said: "I have seen such mutated warriors, although they use some ancient cold weapons, but their combat effectiveness is stronger than our most fierce warriors, but no one can guarantee that they will not suddenly become that kind of bloodthirsty monster, and the various states that appear now have been out of our cognition and control......
Liao Yongzhi sighed, stood up, and lit a cigarette. He had never been so confused and hesitant as he was now, and he was caught a little off guard by the sudden upheaval, as if he still couldn't believe that what he had witnessed was true.
Now he can only do his best to obey the fate of heaven, but as a soldier, Liao Yongzhi will never back down and compromise, even if he fights to the last man, he will never let go of the responsibility on his shoulders.
"Communicator, pass on my order, immediately request the support of the air force and armored forces from the theater command, and at the same time issue the operational opinions of the staff headquarters to the logistics department and all combat units, concentrate forces, shrink the defensive line, and be sure to hold the last safe area in the Gudang area!"
"Yes!"
The communicator took note of the order and left the command. But a few minutes later, the dark-skinned communicator returned to the command and reported loudly: "Report to the division commander! Mayor Zou wants to see you! ”
"Zou Hongfei? What did he come to do? Liao Yongzhi turned around with a hint of doubt and said, "Let him in." ”
After the upheaval, the government sent a large number of grassroots workers to maintain order on the main streets, but after the appearance of the monsters, the entire government department was completely paralyzed, and even the city government building was surrounded by monsters for a time.
After that, Mayor Zou Hongfei declared a state of emergency in Jiangxin City, leaving the army in charge of all affairs, and the surviving government workers only responsible for rescuing the wounded, rehousing homeless citizens, and doing a good job of propaganda work.
Although Gudang District is in a safe state for the time being, the people are panicking, and the citizens are like frightened birds, Zou Hongfei should take the propagandists to appease the people's emotions in case there is a fire in the backyard, how could he suddenly run to the headquarters?
Just when Liao Yongzhi was thinking about it, Zou Hongfei, who was wearing gold wire glasses and had a scholarly temperament, walked into the command room, and when he saw Liao Yongzhi, he enthusiastically walked up and held Liao Yongzhi's hand, and said kindly: "Master Liao, it's really hard for you, Jiangxin City can have the current situation, it's all thanks to the blessings of the two......
Liao Yongzhi politely shook hands with Zou Hongfei, and asked directly: "Mayor Zou, you don't have to be so polite with us, what do you ......have to say directly?"
"That's the case......" Zou Hongfei pushed his eyes, paused, and said: "The rumors of demon hunters, I don't know if you two have heard of it?" ”
