Volume I, Section 207, New Regulations
Nightshade took it casually, pinched it hard, and put it in his pocket.
This action made Wang Qinian a little disappointed. He swallowed hard, and looked at the night shadow expectantly: "What, don't you take it apart and take a look?" β
Nightshade replied sarcastically, "Haven't you seen enough?" I've been standing here alone for a long time, don't you think you should say something to me? β
Although the "seeing" referred to by the two people is different, there is an overlap in the hidden meaning.
Wang Qinian suddenly became a little squirming, lowered his head like a girl, and pinched the corners of his clothes: "...... Well, do you have time tonight? Together...... Have a meal? β
The old fat man's tone of voice was very difficult, his voice was hoarse and dim, and he did not have the fierceness of his voice when he usually looked at people unpleasantly. It feels like a girl who has been raped and is threatened to answer questions.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Nightshade's eyes.
She continued in an accentuated tone, "What else do you want to say to me?" β
The old fat man was a little dazed, his mouth open, and he snorted for a long time, and his throat kept coming out of his throat with strange sounds such as "Yi Ya Ya Ya" that only he could understand. It seems that the adults are caught by the adults who are sitting on the wrong thing, standing in the corner of the wall to be reprimanded, and the atmosphere is not daring to come out.
"You...... Don't you want to open it and see what's inside? β
From beginning to end, Wang Qinian kept repeating this sentence.
Nightshade waited for nearly half an hour, listening to it more than ten times.
A man and a woman stay in this environment, and naturally there is no way to make any progress.
So, the woman left the room, leaving the old fat man alone in a chair in a daze.
The clouds in the sky were getting thicker.
The humid hot air surrounded Su Hao, like a dissatisfied woman wrapped around him, covered in sweat, clothes and skin stuck together, wet and uncomfortable.
In the scope, the black crosshair is firmly attached to a pig-shaped humanoid.
Aside from its head and belly, there is no place on this monster that is associated with a pig. It is burly, more than two meters tall, with sharp bone spurs protruding from the sides of its broad shoulders. Although no more than ten centimeters in length, it is enough to be used as a weapon, and can pose a lethal threat when impacted at close range.
It lay on its stomach on the ground, nibbling on a decomposing wormoid that had been killed a few days earlier.
The pig man eats very carefully, and from time to time there is a "purring" sound between his mouth and nose. The wide mouth that connects to the ears looks terrifying, and even more terrifying is the two rows of neat and sharp teeth. It's very pointy and white, just like the smiling fat man in the "Blue Sky Six Rules" advertisement, his teeth are sharpened by a file, and he feels chilling just by looking at it.
"Bang ββββ"
The moment he pulled the trigger, Su Hao saw that the pigman's head was blown open, and the sky was full of blood. It fell backwards, writhing on the ground with its hands and feet, churning the rotting corpse into a pile of slimy slurry.
Behind him, there was the voice of Huang He's admiration.
"Good marksmanship, at the level of a top shooter. It's a pity that the Olympics have been suspended. Otherwise, you will definitely be able to come back with a world champion in shooting. β
Last week, the replenished 11th Independent Force had already moved into the Hefei defensive line. According to the latest military department documents, Su Hao and his troops were incorporated into the Third Theater of Operations in the southeast and temporarily placed under the control of the 184th Group Army. Of course, in terms of sequence and establishment, it still belongs to Xu Renjie's 71st Group Army.
It doesn't matter who your boss is. How to fight the battle in front of him is Su Hao's primary consideration.
On military maps, the defense area is a striking, curved thick black line, marked with the number and name of each participating unit.
At the foot of the defense, the defense area is a number of guard towers, fire points and fortifications, and fresh soldiers
The area of the 11th Independent Army was not large, only about two-thirds of the adjacent divisions on both flanks. This special care is mainly due to the fact that almost all of Su Hao's subordinates are recruits and their combat effectiveness is weak.
After arriving in the defense area, Su Hao has been training.
The standard battle team of the future world is composed of three people. According to the combination of long, medium and near firepower, one person at the forefront is responsible for combat, and the weapon configuration is a carbon battle axe, or a carbon long-handled fighting knife that was successfully developed a few years later. The one in the middle is armed with a 9mm assault rifle, or a large-caliber light machine gun developed later. The last man is armed with a 30mm man-in-one cannon and is responsible for long-range support.
The three-player squad configuration method is also suitable for large-scale battles. In fact, it is a merging mode in which multiple three-person squads are grouped according to different weapon configurations to form a three-layer attack formation in the front, middle, and rear. If there were armored troops to accompany the advance, the combat effect would be better.
There are more than 30,000 recruits recruited from Nanyang Base City. Of these, 12,000 and 6 are "worker bees". Due to the tight schedule, the recruits only received the most basic courses related to firearm operation, command identification, and information transmission, and immediately rushed to the Hefei Theater to fill the vacancies in the defense area left by the front-line troops after receiving weapons and equipment.
The military department greatly appreciated the new tactics "created" by Su Hao. The large-area killing mode using pheromones and directional mines has been widely adopted in various theaters. Taking the Hefei battlefield as an example, most of the troops attacking neighboring cities and counties adopted this type of tactics. UUUU1017 Motorized Infantry Division, 9th Light Armored Brigade...... When these units first applied the new tactics, they were somewhat unfamiliar and unaccustomed. Yet the annihilation of tens of thousands of mutated creatures is more convincing than any propaganda. The various participating troops quickly used skillfully and collected a large amount of data and experience, and the mutant biological strongholds around Hefei were uprooted one by one, and then the troops occupying the city could approach step by step, and then start the encirclement.
These battles no longer have any connection with Su Hao. Neither the exploits nor the spoils of war have anything to do with him. It is said that in fact, a considerable number of officers were indignant at what happened to Su Hao, believing that Su Hao was fully qualified to be promoted to general rather than the current colonel only for the merit of inventing new tactics. However, this argument was denied by the top echelons of the military department, and the joint staff meeting also constantly threw out such remarks as "creation is not practical application" and "everything must be based on war exploits."
Liu Jiangyuan's 517th Division also belonged to the sequence of troops besieging Hefei. The 11th Independent Army was not far from his defense area, and when he had time, Liu Jiangyuan would often drive over to have a look, and by the way, bring some cigarettes, alcohol, candy and other things. Whenever this happens, he will always discuss with Su Hao about combat methods and future trends. Due to the different identities and sources, Su Hao was also able to find out some secrets from Liu Jiangyuan that only circulated in a small circle.
The virus destroyed the civilization, but not the disgusting bureaucracy of that era. Everyone has their own circle of interests, and there are people who need to be taken care of. Of course, they will not admit that Su Hao is the inventor of the new method of warfareββββ as a soldier, it is within their duty to find a way to kill the enemy. What's more, even if you don't bring it up, sooner or later people will find out. Now that you have the title of "creator" and have also been promoted, the rest of the matter is none of your business. Achievements and exploits are not patents, and on the battlefield, only the corpses of mutated creatures can be counted as merit. As for the so-called favors and relationships...... This depends on the specific object.
The Battle of Lujiang brought Liu Jiangyuan and Su Hao closer. Regarding the unfair treatment suffered by Su Hao, Liu Jiangyuan could only try to persuade him. After all, he is not an important person in the military department, and he has no right to participate in the power struggle of the upper group. For these comforting words, Su Hao always smiled.
His aim was to expand the "swarm" and obtain more strategic materials. As for the rank and actual power...... Su Hao was not very interested in this.
There is a price to be paid for training troops through actual combat.
In just two weeks, the 11th Independent Force had killed more than 2,000 soldiers.
The three-person squad mode is the main one, and the search is carried out with armed trucks, which has been proven effective in countless battles in the future world, and it is also effective in this time and space. However, the new recruits who had just changed into military uniforms did not talk about any cooperation at all. The fear of mutated creatures, the fanaticism for revenge, the temptation of the hedron silver bone...... Many people died unexplained, even senseless casualties.
In contrast, the losses of the "worker bees" are so slight that they can be almost ignored.
As early as in Kunming, the "worker bees" received different types of combat training, and they cooperated with each other in team mode to constantly hunt mutant creatures. Both combat effectiveness and battlefield judgment are far superior to those recruited from outside the base city. Especially under the mysterious connection of the black particles, the cooperation between each other is very tacit, and the three-person attack mode is exerted to the maximum power. In the eyes of the "worker bees", the battle in Hefei City is actually not very difficult, at best it is just the number of mutated creatures.
Su Hao put down the individual cannon on his shoulder, raised his binoculars, looked at the city with countless high-rise buildings in the distance, exhaled a long breath, and ordered Huang He and the others who were waiting next to him: "Let's go, it's getting dark." β
At dinner time, on the positions of the 11th Independent Army, only a few people could be seen who remained behind.
With the lesson of the last time, all warehouses and traffic arteries are guarded by "worker bees". Su Hao will not make the same mistake again. There are no soldiers to recruit on the spot, there are no resources and weapons ... There's really nothing left.
Night fell quickly.
The temporary headquarters was brightly lit, and officers were busy in front of maps and various electronic instruments, passing documents recording information back and forth. They are grouped together, organized, analysed to extract valuable information, and then judged on until they are used.
Most of the intelligence gathering is now the responsibility of the Air Force. Intelligence analysis is also simpler than in any war period in history. After all, the opponent is no longer an enemy army, but a mutated creature. Combat intelligence is nothing more than the following pointsββββ number, location, terrain.
Huang He kept staring at the computer.
Since last month, in accordance with the latest regulations of the military department, each sub-theater must sort out and report the results of the day's battles. These data are updated once a week and are made public within the theater, and each participating unit can see its own and its neighbors' casualties, material losses, hunting statistics, and other data through satellite networking. This kind of transparent information has to a great extent aroused the psychology of competition among the troops. Just the day before yesterday, the military headquarters once again issued a new orderββββ starting from today, each major theater will set up a "ranking of combat merits in killing." According to the actual number of kills of each unit, meritorious personnel are rewarded and promoted.
In the future world, this list was released at about the same time period. This is a decision-making modification made by the Staff Liaison Conference in response to changes in soldiers' combat effectiveness and biological warfare. The inability to use weapons of mass destruction has increased the individual combat power of soldiers and the use of factors such as terrain, time, sound and even smell by commanders to unprecedented heights. Battles are becoming more and more difficult to fight, and the practice of capturing the opponent's strategic points or important resource production areas in previous wars has completely lost its effect. The only way to win is to kill every mutated creature.
It's simple, and it's brutal.
The kill list corresponds to each soldier from bottom to top, and continues to be grouped into specific participating units, squads, squadrons, and brigades...... Ascending layer by layer, it eventually converges into the personal merits of the unit commander.
The benefits of this practice are obviousββββ whether it is a soldier or an officer, the method of counting merit is reduced to the silver bone spar. When an individual kills more than 200 mg of Silver Bone, which is 100 mutated creatures, they will be promoted. Team kills above a Platoon are a bit more complex and can be counted as shared by all, cumulatively stacked, or assigned to a single person. Of course, as the commander of the unit, the calculation of merit must be based on the silver bone hedron handed in by all the soldiers of the unit.
Taking the Eleventh Independent Force as an example, if Su Hao wants to go one step further on the basis of colonel and become a brigadier general, then the Eleventh Independent Force must hand in an average of no less than 20,000 milligrams of silver bones per month in the next six months, or a spar corresponding to 10,000 mutated creatures, and the number of kills in the war zone must be at the top in order to be promoted.
Su Hao took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand and said with a smile: "These numbers now are useless. You can't tell anything about it. It will be at least three or four months before the change really happens. β
The number on the kill list can be cumulative. If the 20,000 mg of silver bone is not met this month, the shortfall can be made up next month or more. In summary, as long as the statistical total meets the six-month average.
Huang He touched his chin and kept shaking his head: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this calculation method. Of course, disclosing the number of kills as a reward for soldiers can really boost morale. However, judging the merits of the commanders of the troops in this way is somewhat unfair, and there is a suspicion of stealing merit. β
Su Hao did not comment on the question of the Yellow River. He chewed the steamed bun slowly, his eyes calm.
Is he thinking about how he can use the kill list to make a profit?
Killing 10,000 mutant creatures a month sounds like a lot, but from Chengdu to Lujiang, Su Hao's kill numbers in all previous battles are much more than that. As long as you master the method and make reasonable use of the terrain, it is not difficult to do this.
This is the first installment of the kill list. From the second period, which is six months onwards, the number of kills required by the military department will increase gradually. Because with the mass production of second-order strengthening elixirs, the soldier's physique is also constantly increasing. The development of various new equipment has strengthened the combat effectiveness of the troops. Especially after the Academy of Sciences announced the news of the successful development of energy potions, the number of kill list requirements became larger and larger. By the time before Su Hao's escape, the average monthly kill volume stipulated in the list had exceeded 200,000.
Thinking of this, Su Hao smiled slightly. Immediately, the focus of attention turned to the Yellow River.
"It's still about executing our original plan. The units were ordered to enter the stage of setting up the project starting tomorrow, and the required materials must be ready within two weeks. If nothing else, the plan will follow our predetermined steps. β
Huang He nodded, and then asked, "What about those recruits?" Their number is not twelve thousand, but tens of thousands. If all of them die in battle, it will be difficult to explain to the above. β
Su Hao put the half-eaten steamed buns into the lunch box, picked up the kettle and poured a sip, saying, "Fighting always kills." It would have been a mistake of the military department to send untrained recruits into battle. There must be lurkers among these people, and they could cause chaos at any time. The only troops we can control are the "worker bees". If they don't die, new "worker bees" can't be replenished...... Continue to fight the way they are familiar, be careful to control the tempo, and don't lose too many people in the short term. As long as the project setup is completed as soon as possible, the results of the next stage of combat will be able to impress those guys in the military department. β
Steel cables with hooks are firmly attached to the turf of a "Mercedes-Benz", towing million-dollar luxury cars away like garbage.
The road leading to the city is littered with abandoned vehicles. Among them, there are many expensive goods such as "BMW", "Bentley", "Porsche", etc. These luxury cars, which cost a lot of money to repair in peacetime, are stacked with ordinary goods such as "Great Wall", "Dongfeng", and "Geely". Among them, there are also many electric cars and motorcycles, as well as a few dirty and broken agricultural vehicles. It's funny and emotional.
The "worker bees" are already familiar with setting up barricades, and it is not difficult to set up cement piers more than 10 meters high in the middle of the street. Abandoned vehicles are arranged as a maze as usual...... Depending on the height and distance of these obstacles, new fortifications were built at the top and bottom of the surrounding buildings at the same time.
The battle video of the CR team has long been released, and many people have set up an ambush according to Su Hao's method. However, soldiers and officers are still not accustomed to using their minds to lock on to their targets. They still follow their biological instincts, searching for attacks on mutated creatures through their eyes. Both accuracy and accuracy are naturally greatly reduced, and although those obstacles set up in advance block the monster frenzy, they also block the shooting boundary between the naked eye and the scope.
