Chapter 115: Shock and Awe (1)
Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the heavy snow, which had been falling for several days, finally became a little lighter, but it was still blowing with the cold wind. When the city gate was opened, the 3rd Regiment of the 141st Division, which was ready to go, was the first to leave the No. 1 base in Chang'an.
Their task today is not light, and three of the four battalions under the 3rd Regiment of the 141st Division are responsible for clearing the surrounding villages.
These days, thanks to their efforts, the zombies have almost been wiped out within more than ten kilometers around the base.
After the troops left the city, they were the ordinary people who were in their own groups, and they were numerous, like ploughs, collecting all kinds of supplies in the safe area to survive.
Yue Rong took 3 apprentices, as well as Yan Ruyu and Tong Yan, and followed the flow of people out of the base gate. He didn't inform anyone, and several of them quickly disappeared into the world outside the base like droplets, leaving no trace.
Zhao Hanwei, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 141st Division, led his troops to a sniper position near a main canal 4 kilometers east of the base.
Their battalion's mission today is to clear out Lijiazhuang near the new suburb of Chang'an City. This Lijiazhuang is not a small village, with 6 production brigades under its jurisdiction, and the distance between them is very close. It is estimated that the number of zombies in the entire village is between 600 and 700.
This number of zombies, for the 2nd battalion, is the first time to face. For this reason, Zhao Hanwei and several company commanders made preparations almost overnight last night.
They decided to follow the previous method, clear the road first, and then send people to drive in, lure out the zombies one by one, and gather in the ambush to annihilate.
The ambush place chosen by Zhao Hanwei was repeatedly measured by him and his subordinates yesterday, and the zombies within a few kilometers around here had been cleaned up before, and according to past experience, it should be appropriate.
Moreover, there is still a distance of nearly 5 kilometers from Lijiazhuang, and at this distance, it is basically guaranteed that the gunfire in wartime will not attract more zombies.
With the help of the main canal and civil fortifications that are 6 meters wide and 3 or 4 meters deep, as long as the number of zombies attracted by each wave is not more than 100, he is completely sure that they will be wiped out on the other side of the main canal.
The 2nd Battalion is building fortifications, and in the past, ordinary people would avoid their area, but today there is a strange group of people passing by their camp. When Zhao Hanwei received the report and came out of the command post, he only saw the ice and snow mist raised from the rear of the other party's car.
"What do you eat? How did you let them pass! Chase them back for me, and if it spoils our business, I'll shoot you right here." Zhao Hanwei's anger came out all of a sudden, and he never expected to encounter such an accident.
"Yes," the commander of the company who came to report hurriedly looked for a car to chase after him.
Zhao Hanwei didn't care about the life or death of those people, he was only responsible for his own troops and today's mission. The appearance of those people makes today's battle full of uncertainties!
"What about Liu Yu, who is in charge of guarding today? Call him here! Zhao Hanwei said to his correspondent.
In the past, he still thought that Liu Yu was quite diligent in his work, but he didn't expect that this guy who entered the army halfway would make such a big mistake today.
Not long after the correspondent responded, he brought Liu Yu, the platoon commander of the first company, and before Liu Yu could speak, Zhao Hanwei reprimanded him with a face.
"Say, why did you let those people go?" Zhao Hanwei questioned, he didn't believe that Liu Yu would let others enter the war zone for no reason.
"Well, I was stopped." Liu Yu knew that he had touched the battalion commander's moldy head, and he was a little weak-hearted.
"Why didn't you stop it? Did they fly over that bridge! Zhao Hanwei was even more angry when he heard this.
"No, they didn't slow down and went straight through." Liu Yu explained, his heart full of unwillingness and annoyance.
"How dare you break in?! Do you have burning sticks in your hands? Why not shoot? Zhao Hanwei asked, he couldn't think of what kind of person would be who would break through the vigilance of the troops.
"That's, that's my relative." Liu Yu said, his face was like fire, and he scolded that "relative" a hundred times and a hundred times in his heart.
Zhao Hanwei couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, what kind of reason is this, but the matter has come to this point, he can only wait for the reply of the company commander. Just in case, he asked all the staff to speed up the construction of the fortifications, for fear that the other party would lure the zombies back and catch him off guard.
As soon as he finished giving the order, the company commander came back alone with his people, and as soon as he got out of the car, he turned to Zhao Hanwei and said excitedly: "The killing is over!" It's done! It's all gone. ”
The headless words of the company commander made Zhao Hanwei and Liu Yu a little confused for a while.
"Say what? What's done? Zhao Hanwei's heart was angry, and he didn't know why the first company commander was messing around in front of him.
"Zombies, the zombies in Lijiazhuang in front of us, they have all been killed! Those people are too powerful, they just raised and fell with knives in their hands, and they killed Li Jiazhuang in just a while. The company commander gestured excitedly, and the expression on his face was extremely rich.
"Nani?!" Zhao Hanwei and Liu Yu were taken aback when they heard this, how could this be?
"You're fine, right?" Zhao Hanwei touched the forehead of some company commanders to make sure that this guy was not burned.
"Really! Check it out if you don't believe it! They have already killed in the new area, and there is almost no zombie left in Lijiazhuang. As he spoke, the company commander pulled Zhao Hanwei into the car.
Zhao Hanwei was suspicious in his heart, got into the car and followed the company commander to Lijiazhuang. When Li Jiazhuang appeared in his sight, he was still a little nervous, but when he got closer and saw the corpses along the way, he was a little relieved.
The first company commander did not have Zhao Hanwei's scruples at all, and drove all the way down the road to the 4th Brigade at the end of Lijiazhuang before stopping the car.
"Well, battalion commander, I didn't lie to you! Do you want to follow along? The first company commander said, the people he met before completely subverted his previous cognition, and he pulled the battalion commander here to prove that he was not dreaming.
"Look at the fart, hurry back and arm!" Zhao Hanwei scolded angrily, extremely frightened in his heart.
Although this road is full of zombies who have fallen to the ground, but if he enters the new area further, even if he enters the edge of Chang'an City, the number of zombies there is tens of thousands, and he dares to take a step further.
He doesn't know how many people have passed, and he doesn't care who people have entered, he is only worried about how many zombies they will bring back when they go in after those people go in.
Zhao Hanwei shouted loudly, waking up the first company commander, and he realized that those people, no matter how good they were, were only 6 people, how could they deal with tens of thousands of zombies.
