Volume I, Section 208 Scheme

Many combat methods can be viewed on video, but they are difficult or even impossible to replicate.

Two weeks later, the construction of the defense area of the 11th Independent Army was basically completed, and the shortfall in the number of dead recruits was as high as 2,000.

The same on-board alert was used to lure the enemy, and due to the launch of multiple rockets, there were tens of thousands of mutated creatures following from the core area. They still move blindly, not destroying the barricades that fill the lanes with abandoned vehicles, but still swarming along the main road. After entering the defense area of the 11th Independent Army, it was met by hundreds of fire points, and all troops were annihilated under the dense fire network attack.

Fighting mutated creatures is different from fighting human armies. Therefore, it is very difficult for the theater command or military headquarters to draw up a plan for a large-scale war of annihilation. Although the entire defense line is divided into large and small theaters, the actual combat is still dominated by various units, and there is great flexibility and flexibility. Of course, a certain number of reserves are left inside the theater of operations. If a large group of mutated organisms appears in a certain direction, these forces will immediately fill in and strengthen the original defenses.

Including the 517th Division, the troops besieging Hefei had four more divisions. The 11th Independent Army was the weakest in combat, but in terms of the decoy and annihilation that had just ended, the results were the richest.

On the same day, Su Hao sent a large number of soldiers to collect silver bone spars from the corpses of mutant creatures, and at the same time uploaded his results on the war zone networkβ€”β€”β€”β€” killing 12,000 heads.

This is a very large number, and its influence is no less than that of the encirclement and annihilation in the first battle of Lujiang. In addition to being stunned, Zhang Shengfei hurried from the Nanyang base with a group of staff officers. In the words of Huang He, who is not without sarcasm: "They don't believe it's true at all." Therefore, the Judge Advocate General's Office has to come and count the points in person. ”

When Su Hao put a large bag of bloodstained silver bones on the desk, Officer Yi Yu of the Group Army Headquarters could no longer speak. The facts are right in front of you, and no one can refute them.

"It was a surprise to me. I never imagined that you would bring me so many surprises in such a short period of time. ”

These words don't sound quite consistent with Zhang Shengfei's actual age. After all, he is a group army commander, and with his age and experience, he should be able to be unfazed at every turn, instead of being amazed at a young man in his twenties.

But Zhang Shengfei really couldn't suppress his true emotions.

The Eleventh Separate Force rested for only three weeks. They were replenished with more than 30,000 recruits. Please note that it is an untrained recruit. These people were previously civilians, and about 40 percent of them were women. Their only advantage was that they were given first-order enhancement potions earlier than the rest of the troops. But it was not worth mentioning at all, because just two days later, another recruit unit was also given the potion, but there was no effective battle result, and the casualties were terrible.

Zhang Shengfei had seen the video of the battle between the 517th Division and the 11th Independent Army in Lujiang City. The use of pheromones to cause chaos within mutated creatures is clever, and the large number of ambushes that are preset in advance have worked. Because Liu Jiangyuan's name was signed on the battle report, many commanders of the troops believed that the battle of Lujiang should be attributed to the merits of the 517th Division. Many people think that Su Hao is just a lucky boy, because the defense areas are connected together, and they are stained with the light of the 517th Division.

This time, Su Hao's tactics were also preset traps, and they also consumed a lot of ammunition. However, from the beginning of the project to the end of the battle, all the actions were carried out by the 11th Independent Force, without any advice or assistance, let alone the illegal use of weapons of mass destruction.

is also a feat with a number of kills as high as tens of thousands, the first time Zhang Shengfei was surprised, and the second time he couldn't help but admire it, and even admire it.

The commander came down to inspect the work, and a hearty working meal was a must.

Meals are simple, but they are better than quantity. Between the staggered plans, Zhang Shengfei once again praised Su Hao loudly, and did not hesitate to love and maintain it.

The troops below have achieved outstanding results, and of course they have contributed to being the commander of the theater of operations. At the very least, a "well-commanded" person can't run. Therefore, Zhang Shengfei brought a large amount of supplies with him during his trip, especially in terms of ammunition, and repeatedly promised to make up the shortfall as soon as possible and increase the reserve of two bases to the 11th Independent Army.

Su Hao was very modest, with a smile on his face all the time, without the slightest arrogance and arrogance that a winner should have.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became warm.

"For the next combat operation in Hefei, we have formulated a plan. How about it, are you interested in taking a look? ”

The "plan" in Zhang Shengfei's mouth is actually a copy of the Battle of Lujiang. The core content is nothing more than using pheromones to disrupt mutant biological groups, drive away, contain, and annihilate ......

Of course, there must be differencesβ€”β€”β€”β€” this plan is quite large, in addition to the existing troops currently besieging Hefei, two mechanized infantry divisions will be added. In this way, the total number of troops amounted to seven divisions

When the number of combatants reaches a certain standard, it is no longer a "battle", but is upgraded to a "campaign"

The pheromones are still delivered by the Air Force, and in order to expand the results of the battle, there are three main roads used as ambushes, and a large number of directional blasting devices are set up, which can form a killing effect in the whole area.

A young major staff officer was responsible for briefly explaining the plan to Su Hao, and Zhang Shengfei sat next to him and was very satisfied. However, he didn't see the echoing expression on Su Hao's face, but instead showed a faint doubt

More than ten minutes later, when the major staff officer finished saying the last word, Su Hao immediately shook his head and reacted: "No, this plan is very dangerous, it won't work at allβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

The smile on Zhang Shengfei's face suddenly stiffened, and the gazes of several officers next to him looking at Su Hao also became cold and sharp.

A muscular brigadier with slightly pale skin slowly lowered his empty wine glass, frowning, and a strong warning on his face.

"Colonel, I don't know where your confidence and determination come from. But you have to understand that all of you here have had unusual experiences. ”

He ignored Su Hao's name and directly used his military rank as a pronoun: "I believe that what you said just now was definitely not casually said, and I also believe that you have your own reasons and opinions." However, we must not forget that this operational plan is the embodiment of the wisdom and painstaking efforts of all the staff officers of the group army headquarters. No one wants to lose the war, and if the plan is wrong, it means that the formulators will be court-martialed. It's not peacetime, and no one wants to joke with their heads. From the formulation to the approval of a plan, it needs to go through a series of complex and cumbersome certification processes. It may be wrong, and you can also propose amendments, but denying it outright is irrational and stupid. ”

Among the personnel accompanying Zhang Shengfei, several were the commanders of the troops in the neighboring defense areas. Among them is Liu Jiangyuan. Su Hao has never met the brigadier general who spoke, but he has also seen his photo on the defense networkβ€”β€”β€”β€” Fang Chen, 35 years old, Pei Chang.

Fang Chen turned sideways with a slight gloom, making enough distance for Su Hao to see Liu Jiangyuan sitting here from across the table.

"This one, you should know."

Fang Chenxu raised his hand and introduced: "General Liu Jiangyuan, commander of the 517th Division, the hero of the Lujiang battle. It was he who proposed a new method of using pheromones to disturb mutated creatures, lure them into an ambush circle, and annihilate them with a large number of directional weapons. This is the blueprint for Hefei's operational plan, which has been demonstrated and experimented. The results of the 517th Division were outstanding, and Division Commander Liu's troops annihilated ...... at one time"

"Please Wait"

The highly regarded Liu Jiangyuan could no longer sit still. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted Fang Chen's shoulder, and while glaring at Su Hao, he introduced to everyone at the table with a wry smile: "There is one thing, I must explain to you clearly that β€”β€”β€”β€” plan to destroy the enemy in the battle of Lujiang is actually Colonel Su Hao's idea. Whether it is the use of pheromones or the setting of ambush routes, he is in charge of it. My role in this is very small, at best it can be regarded as collaboration. ”

Fang Chen's face was a little stiff. He opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a few seconds, first looked at Su Hao, and then looked at Liu Jiangyuan next to him, and asked suspiciously: "Old Liu, what is going on?" ”

"What else could it be?"

Liu Jiangyuan's face was full of wry smiles: "The Eleventh Independent Army is all recruits, and my rank is higher than Su Hao, so of course I will write the battle report." The details are already very clear, and I am also behind Su Hao in terms of signature, but the guys in the military department are very stubborn, and they have calculated the credit, so I was promoted to the next level. Speaking of which, the real hero is actually Su Hao. ”

Not only Fang Chen, but also several staff officers heard this, and their faces also showed shocked and abrupt expressions

Zhang Shengfei was not infected by this emotion at all, his face was still gloomy, and he said to Su Hao very unhappily: "Since you are against it, there must be your reasons." Speak up and let everyone hear. ”

"Hefei is different from Lujiang."

Su Hao was not pretentious, and directly expressed his opinion: "They are two completely different cities, and the scale, population, and area are not equal at all. According to the map of Hefei, I have calculated that there are at least three million mutated creatures gathered in the city. There are only 100,000 monsters in Lujiang City. The difference between the front and rear is as much as dozens of times, and this is no longer a task that can be accomplished by simply increasing or decreasing personnel and weapons. There are so many of them that the pheromone warfare method can only be applied to a small area of about 200,000 mutated creatures. Once this number is exceeded, it is easy to trigger a massive bio-frenzy. That's not at all a storm that the increase in troops and weapons involved in the war can withstand. They are terrible, enough to tear everything apart and destroy everything. ”

"Pheromone emanation has a fixed regional range. While we can use airplanes to control the wind direction and make pheromones work within a predetermined range, don't forget that creatures like rats and insects are mostly gregarious. Like us humans, they have different ways of connecting. During the battle of Lujiang, we also encountered a similar situation. At that time, we used pre-set explosives to cause the building to collapse, blocking the reason, separating the mutant biota from the middle, and relieving the pressure on the defense forces. Now, the number of monsters in Hefei City is dozens of times more than that of Lujiang, and the same method has a limited effect on them, and may even have a negative effect. Once there is a large-scale shock cluster, the ambush troops set up outside the city will not be able to stop it at all. Annihilation ...... It can turn into a massacre of soldiers. ”

Su Hao's words are very heavy, and there is no lack of calmness and rationality. Brigadier General Fang Chen's face gradually faded, and several division commanders, including him, began to think seriously.

There is some truth in this, when there are too many of them, similar tactics will not be able to have the desired effect.

"I have similar concerns. After all, Hefei is not Lujiang, according to the plan, we have to block three main roads at the same time, and any situation in any direction will affect the entire battle situation. Perhaps, it is necessary to reduce the target of the plan a little, take a single road as the standard, reduce the amount of pheromones put into the air, and strengthen the air force's guidance effect on air flow...... What do you guys think? ”

"The focus of the plan is actually the induction effect on mutated organisms. Maybe we can do it another way? Using actions such as cows and sheep as bait may work well. ”

Since the outbreak of the virus, various units have experienced battles large and small. The military commanders were experienced, and Su Hao's objections were not vexatious, but based on facts, and quickly aroused approval. Coupled with Liu Jiangyuan's explanation of the things before and after, Fang Chen also put away his previous contempt, nodded at Su Hao, and his attitude was much more gentle.

Zhang Shengfei's expression was no longer tense, but he still looked troubled.

He could hear that Su Hao did not mean to target himself or want to challenge authority, but only spoke from the position of a military commander out of comprehensive consideration.

This made Zhang Shengfei feel a lot better.

However, some issues are not determined by a change in attitude. He didn't want to give up this plan, so he looked at Su Hao with an inquiring gaze, and then asked, "What is your suggestion for this?" ”

Zhang Shengfei didn't want Su Hao to veto it completely, the bottom line he could accept was at most a certain degree of modification.

However, Su Hao's answer completely crushed Zhang Shengfei's last illusion.

"It's not going to work. If it is really implemented, it will only cause a catastrophe and cause the collapse of the defense line of the entire southeastern third theater of operations. ”

This is not intimidation, nor is it Su Hao's excuse.

In another time and space, pheromone tactics were first proposed by a lieutenant colonel staff officer on the Northern Front. As a verification, the battle was fought in a small town near the south of Urumqi with about 30,000 mutated creatures. With the basis for success, the Northern Theater quickly worked out a plan for conducting simultaneous campaigns in several large cities on this basis. However, pheromones have very different effects on different sizes of mutated biotas. The defense line of the Northeast Theater of Operations, which was the first to be planned, was broken through on the same day, and the tide of mutated creatures devoured the six divisions in the frontal direction.

That was the worst defeat since the outbreak of the virus. Since then, the Northeast Defense Area has never been restored, and it was not until Su Hao left that a series of forward bases were established relying on the passes on the ancient Great Wall.

It is conceivable that if this plan passes the review of the military department, what kind of terrible disaster it will bring?

"Hmph, it's alarmistβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

Just when Su Hao was pondering how to persuade Zhang Shengfei, the young major staff officer sitting next to the commander suddenly let out an extremely cold mockery.

He stared at Su Hao angrily: "The tactics that have been successful, why can't they be used in other cities?" Since pheromone diffusion will trigger a large-scale shock frenzy, why do you want to use this tactic when you are in Lujiang? You didn't think about the danger at that time? Haven't thought about the series of problems that this raises? Colonel Su, I think your approach is very problematicβ€”β€”β€”β€” as the planner, I have spared no effort to implement it. Once someone else makes a plan, they will oppose it with all their might. Is this what you call an opinion? ”

This accusation is not unfounded. As soon as the words came out, even Fang Chen and the others, who were almost convinced, invariably focused their eyes on Su Hao, paying serious attention to his response.

"I have absolutely no intention of being greedy for merit."

Su Hao retorted calmly: "The pheromone inducing range is a very complicated calculation process. This involves a number of factors such as the number of mutated organisms and the terrain, passages, and closure strength in the target area. To put it bluntly, this tactic is actually a preset trap. There are two very critical prerequisites for thisβ€”β€”β€”β€” the amount of ambush power, and the number of prey. Whether the former or the latter exceeds expectations, it will bring uncontrollable dangers. ”

"This can't β€”β€”β€”β€”"

The young major had a very tough attitude: "According to the plan, there are as many as 100,000 troops participating in the battle, and most of them are veterans who have been tested by the war. Among them are two armored divisions with the latest vehicle-mounted array artillery. We have set up a total of three lines of defense, with the guard tower and the adjacent building as the fulcrum, and the firepower network with high and low distances is very dense, and it is impossible to ...... at all."

"Have you ever considered the number of mutated creatures?"

Su Hao unceremoniously interrupted the other party's words: "The main road from the city center to the position outside the city is about fifteen kilometers long. Excluding the core area inhabited by mutated organisms, and some uncontrollable distances, there are only about nine kilometers of roads available. That's right, directional mines are very powerful, and the high-density release of metal fragments is enough to kill all the monsters on the entire street. However, the blasting distance is limited, and even if the load rate of the entire street reaches 100%, the maximum number of blasting kills at one time is only 300,000. In this case, what do you use to withstand the second shock? Don't forget, the area of the combat area is crucial. Pheromone tactics must be based on the closure of other passages and tunnels. The distance available to the traffic master is limited, and those monsters are not afraid of life and death. Although there are many troops participating in the battle, our soldiers are one less dead, and they have a numerical superiority that we simply cannot compare. ”
