Chapter 337: The Truth
"Commander Wang, you've brought too many people here, right?"
Although Wang Guozhi's plan to capture Anguang City was approved by all the staff, his subsequent order to take all the 5,300 soldiers of the original artillery brigade in the base with him made most people feel a little uneasy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, especially the nominal second-in-command in the base, Wang Hai, who is in charge of civil affairs, frowned.
"Secretary Wang, you have to understand, even if the number of undead creatures in Anguang City has greatly decreased now. But attacking and gradually occupying the entire city is still a difficult and tedious task. ”
Wang Guozhi picked up the teacup in front of him, blew off the tea foam, took a sip gently, and said indifferently, "This action can be said to be the key to the future development of our base, and we must not be careless." If it weren't for the fact that the base also needs a certain amount of strength to deploy defenses, I would even want to transfer the reserve army of the militia together. ”
Today, the total number of people in the Arashi base has reached 110,000. The main composition of the army is still the professional soldiers who survived the original artillery brigades. However, due to the needs of the battle, the military has been mobilizing some able-bodied young people among the survivors to form militia regiments, which are used to assist the army in attacking and defending against the undead creatures.
In fact, the 5,000-strong militia regiment has also undergone a period of training and actual combat, and its combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of professional soldiers. The real only gap is in the equipment of the two sides.
The artillery brigade, which is the main force, not only has armored weapons such as tanks, self-propelled guns, and armored infantry vehicles left over from the original, but also all the new weapons mobilized from the capital are also equipped with them. Including the soul energy cannon produced by the base, more than seventy percent of it is owned by the main group.
In the hands of the militia regiment, it is still dominated by machine guns and cannons of various calibers, but in order to facilitate defense, the field guns in the base are left to them, and there is also the batch of soul energy cannons produced at the beginning of the base, although the volume is too large and the firing frequency is too low, but it is more than enough to be fixed on the city wall for defense.
In fact, what Wang Hai was worried about was that if Wang Guozhi left with the main force of the base and threw the rest of the mess to himself, it would be a big trouble. But after thinking about it, this place is not far from Anguang City, as long as there is good news from there, he will immediately move a large number of refugees over, and when the time comes, he will throw away half of the burden, and the command of the militia is in his own hands, so he is not afraid that the other party has any bad intentions.
"Okay then, but I hope that Commander Wang can make a quick decision, after all, the main force is leaving, and if the base is attacked by a tide of corpses, I am worried that something will happen."
Wang Hai finally nodded, although his nodding did not actually affect the military's decision, but he still made a gesture of full support for the other party.
So soon, the entire base was mobilized, a large number of strategic materials were concentrated, and the main forces scattered everywhere were gathered in the core area.
After lunch, the north camp gate of the base slowly opened, and a convoy of more than 500 large and small vehicles headed for the vanguard of six main battle tanks and a fleet of more than 500 large and small vehicles.
Although the convoy was large, it was not slow, and four hours later it appeared at the Changhe Bridge, not far from Anguang City.
"It's not early, the night battle is not good for us, let's not cross the bridge first, and go to Hujin County in the west to camp."
In the command car, Wang Guozhi pointed to the map and arranged for the three regiment commanders under him. One of the regimental commanders, who was dark-skinned but wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, hesitated:
"Chief, there are a lot of undead creatures in the county, since we are here for Anguang City, there is no need to go there to waste our ammunition, right? It is better to find an open space to camp, as long as the vision is good enough, with our mobility ability, no matter what emergency situation we encounter, we can advance and retreat freely. ”
The bespectacled regiment leader is called Sun Zhi, an old subordinate of Wang Guozhi, who is cautious and his opinions are also very pertinent. However, Wang Guozhi smiled and said:
"It's okay, I've received news from a small survivor camp nearby that Hujin County is now an empty county with no undead creatures in the way. We will definitely place the command center of our attack on Anguang City here. ”
Hearing the old chief say this, the three regiment leaders, including Sun Zhi, all looked at each other, not understanding that the three leaders of their own were so well-informed, and Hujin County was actually an empty county, how could this be? You must know that a densely populated area like this is often the nest of undead creatures, how can it be vacant.
Although the general was skeptical, the chief had an order, and the three regiment commanders still commanded the convoy to slowly move towards Hujin County.
In fact, although the convoy was on the highway, there were still zombies wandering on both sides of the road, so the gunfire was intermittent along the way. But when it was really close to Hujin County, the number of zombies wandering nearby really decreased a lot, and even when I drove to the entrance of the county seat, I really didn't find any zombies.
Sun Zhi was shocked, out of caution, he still sent a company of soldiers to enter the county seat first under the cover of the tank, but half an hour later, the news that came back showed that the county town was really empty, not to mention the undead creatures, not even a mouse was seen.
This strange phenomenon made Sun Zhi and the others happy and worried, and at the same time, they were also extremely interested in the source of the old chief. At this moment, they all felt that in fact, it didn't matter whether they attacked Anguang City or not, as long as they occupied the empty county town in front of them, it would be more than enough to house the hundreds of thousands of people in the base.
"Hmph, it's that simple. Hujin County is separated from Anguang City by a bridge, the undead creatures in Anguang City have just suffered heavy damage, if we don't seize the opportunity to destroy them, after they regain their strength, they will threaten the safety of Hujin County at any time! ”
Listening to the suggestions of several subordinates, Wang Guozhi snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "Arrange the food and lodging of the soldiers as soon as possible, and at dawn tomorrow, we will attack Anguang City." ”
"Yes, Chief!"
The three regiment commanders all gave a military salute and were about to turn around and leave, but Wang Guozhi suddenly stopped them:
"Wait a minute...... Later I will have a general meeting in attendance, except for the guards on the periphery. Head Sun, you go and make arrangements, at eight o'clock in the evening, take everyone to gather in the square in the city! ”
The three regiment leaders agreed, and turned to leave. It was not surprising that a mobilization meeting should be held before the war, and although they felt that it would be more appropriate to hold it before the departure tomorrow morning, since it was the chief's arrangement, they had no choice but to carry it out conscientiously.
With everyone in their respective duties, Wang Guozhi was the only one left in the command car. He leaned back in his chair leisurely, his fingers lightly tapping on the table in front of him, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a strange smile. Then his face distorted, and a moment later he took on the form of another person.
It was Wang Qi who had infiltrated the base before!
