Volume I, Section 216 begins
Accurate figures, eight thousand six hundred and nine.
Su Hao knew very well that whether it was within the 71st Group Army, the military department, or now the 184th Group Army, there were people who were wary and hostile to him. Contempt and coldness certainly don't write naked on the face, stabbing in the back and stumbling in the shadows and the like. There is no simpler thing than infiltrating a troop of recruits. Especially those lurkers from all sides of the opposition, who are trained and strong, will undoubtedly be selected, and if they show a little braver in battle, they can easily be promoted to become the most junior captain of the control force.
These people are the biggest destabilizing factor for the 11th Independent Army.
The best way to deal with it is, of course, to kill them all.
However, doing so would definitely cause more trouble for Su Hao. Not to mention anything else, the doubts and anger of the military department alone will be difficult to resist, and they will be branded with a bunch of cruel, tyrannical, insidious and vicious, unfit to serve as a military commander, and so on.
Once the Battle of Hefei begins, the new Nanyang base city will soon become the primary target of the mutant creatures. The reason is simpleββββ there are many people here and there is an abundance of food.
As the commander of the army who could not leave due to the delay of the train, Su Hao must take on the task of guarding the new Nanyang base city. He had never thought of filling the "worker bees" into this mortal pit, and there was no better way to consume it than to act as a blocker. The more than 8,000 recruits will not all die, but they will certainly suffer heavy losses. Even if they survive, they will only be the remnants of the broken up of the establishment. There is usually no second way to deal with it other than to add it to other units as a supplement. As a result, Su Hao naturally had enough excuses to ask the military department for more supplies, more weapons, and more assistance.
Before the Hefei campaign was fully implemented, Su Hao still had some homework that had to be completed.
The "worker bee" soldiers scattered throughout the city bring back new information every day. According to Su Hao's order, the "worker bees" quickly figured out the basic defense facilities of Xinnanyang, and the location of powerful weapons such as joint machine guns was clear. In the event of an accident, the recruit team will take over at short notice to buy enough time for the transportation plan.
Among the military, a lot of things are no longer military secrets.
When Zhang Nan was also receiving food supplies, he learned other information by the way, which can only be regarded as an exception. The "worker bees" have a variety of ways to obtain informationββββ and in recent times, the new Nanyang base city has become very lively. There are often vehicles that inexplicably stall and burst tires in the military zone, and after receiving help from passing soldiers, of course, they must sincerely and earnestly invite each other to have a meal and a few drinks. There was an occasional quarrel in the bar in the civilian area, and there were always a few soldiers standing at the angle of pulling the shelf, fearlessly rushing over to help, and when everything returned to calm, the friendship between them became more and more profound. Others asked for directions in the city, thanked the sentinels who showed them the way, and gave gifts, and the friendship was naturally further enhanced.
In peacetime, these actions are sure to raise suspicions.
Now, no one thinks that the other party is harboring evil intentions. They weren't foreigners after all, and they weren't mutant creatures. The occasional questions revealed between conversations were the location of helicopters and trucks, the distribution of heavy machinery, and the location of warehouses for medicines, food, oil, etc.
The "worker bees" gathered in the conference room were officers, and they were responsible for verifying all the information and selecting the useful parts of it to supplement the plan.
Hangars U to L had to be taken over as soon as chaos erupted. There are a large number of aircraft parts stored there, as well as sixteen helicopters of various types awaiting repair due to natural wear and tear. The two "worker bees" were well acquainted with the airport maintenance crews, and last night, several of the maintenance crews got drunk and told them that ββββ waiting for repairs was just a public culture on the form that the planes had completed maintenance two days earlier. As long as you fill up your tank, you're ready to take off.
Zhang Shengfei took away most of the transport vehicles of the 184th Group Army, but left behind two hovercraft squadrons that were under construction. A total of 31 large hovercraft can be used as an extraneous transport aid. They have a high carrying capacity and are perfectly sized for road widths. As for the operation...... Already three "worker bees" have expressed their novelty and surprise at the hovercraft, and in order to show their hands in front of their new friends, the pilot, whom they have only known for a short time, begins to demonstrate in front of them. The operation process was not difficult, and the three "worker bees" wrote down the full set of operating procedures. These things are now in the hands of more people, and once the plan is implemented, all the hovercraft will fall under control within half an hour. Of course, mistakes are inevitable when driving for the first time, and as long as you take a few minutes to familiarize yourself, everything is not a problem.
The "looting" part of the plan also includes the brand-new infantry fighting vehicles in the warehouse. A considerable number of the "worker bees" who came from the "castle" have received training similar to weapons through Li Daoyuan's connections. Including a part of the modified armored trucks, which will form a lightly armored force and take on the task of guarding the transport plan.
Su Hao stood on the side of the long strip table, staring at the map of the city spread out on the table with eagle-like eyes.
The location he was interested in was a special military warehouse located northeast of the military control zone and marked "".
It is located in the core of the military control zone, a restricted area that cannot be accessed by outsiders, and is guarded by a whole reinforced company.
The original source of intelligence was Wang Qinian.
In the last communication, the old fat man casually mentioned that ββββ a batch of special supplies were unloaded in Xinnanyang, and Zhang Shengfei was busy implementing the Hefei Campaign, so he had no time to take care of them, so he could only store them in the warehouse. But what it is, Wang Qinian doesn't know very well.
With Su Hao's order, as many as hundreds of "worker bees" launched actions around the special warehouse. The targets ranged from ordinary station guard soldiers to warehouse management staff in the logistics department. After spending as many as tens of thousands of blue coins, more than 500 bottles of good wine, and hundreds of kilograms of candy, the information taken from the mouths of countless men and women was collected and sorted, and through word-by-word analysis, it finally became a sentence that made Su Hao excited.
"A special warehouse that stores two sets of core components for the construction of the base. Specifications, one large and one medium. β
The archives of the future world show that in the year before the outbreak of the virus, the military department made relevant regulations on the large, medium and small concepts of different base cities.
Among them, the maintenance scale of more than 5 million people is large, 1 million to 2 million is medium, and less than 500,000 is small. The specific interval figures are subject to the filling or shortfall, and the reach or exceedance shall be subject to the superior unit.
There will definitely be an error between the design and the actual capacity. In the case of the new Chengdu base city, for example, its actual production capacity is much larger than the actual number of occupants at present. However, in order to ensure the revenue of the army and strengthen the control of civilians, civilians who have not paid the silver bone hedron will still not be able to enter the city. The large number of houses that were completed in advance could only be left empty, silently waiting for the new owners.
Su Hao immediately revised the plan and freed up a considerable part of the "worker bees" to snatch the base construction components stored in the special warehouse.
These components are significant and are far less difficult to transport than to move an entire base.
The actual components of each set include a central control computer and three heavy-duty precision lathes, as well as a separate workshop. To put it bluntly, it is actually the core that constitutes the base. As long as they are combined and supplied with sufficient electricity and steel raw materials, the workshop can continue to produce tunneling probes and large energy furnaces. Based on this, more lathes and related machinery will be produced, which will be controlled by computers that have been produced in advance, and integrated into a series of new heavy workshops. With the support of basic industries, the relevant materials and equipment required for the construction of underground bases will be produced in order. Shock-resistant and heat-resistant armor plates, large electronic detectors, electromagnetic resonance detectors...... When the core of the site is built, the workshop will be successively shifted to the production of more external materials such as cement plants, large furnaces, cold work rolling workshops, etc. With enough time, you can create a shockingly large base in sequence.
According to the original plan, Su Hao must lead the "worker bees" into the underground depths of the Nanyang base and use violent means to snatch important components such as the central control computer. Due to the importance of the matter, Zhang Shengfei will definitely arrange a strong guard force to be responsible for the defense. A strong assault can be costly and cause a series of unpredictable troubles. Su Hao hesitated for a while, and even repeatedly revised the plan, positioning the final target in several heavy workshops.
Now, there are undoubtedly a lot less problems and pressures, and it is only necessary to occupy the special warehouse and take away the core components of up to 200 wagons inside, and the plan is already very complete.
After being silent for a long time, Su Hao slowly raised his head and instructed Huang He, who was standing next to him: "From tonight, the number of caretakers in the special warehouse will be doubled." The Battle of Hefei will be in full swing by noon tomorrow at the latest, and the safety of the warehouses must be guaranteed at all costs. Tell the contact personnel to be more careful and pay attention to whether there are self-destruct devices in and around the warehouse? This is important and there is no room for sloppiness. β
Huang He nodded again and again, and replied seriously: "The security measures have been strengthened one by one, and the personnel will be in place after half an hour." In fact, during the day today, we have already completed the task of full infiltration. We controlled the access to the warehouse, and two fire engines were on standby just in case. The power supply room is now freely accessible and can be cut off at any time. β
Su Hao smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, this is what I want." β
Huang He's expression was not without regret, with a slight hatred: "Commander Zhang of the 184th Group Army is really too stubborn. He didn't understand what he was doing at all. This battle will drag the entire southeastern theater into disaster
"There are two sides to the story. If it weren't for his stubbornness, we wouldn't have gotten such an opportunity
There was no smile on Su Hao's face, and his tone was calm: "Mistakes must be compensated with blood, they gave up the city, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come back." I warned them, I gave them a chance. What I did was not excessive, nor was it a betrayal. Sooner or later, the city will be overwhelmed by mutated creatures, preparing in advance to grab the necessary supplies, just to keep more people alive. β
Even Su Hao himself didn't understand, why did he suddenly think of saying this?
Perhaps, it is to add a footnote to his plan and reiterate that he is on the side of justice.
Huang He's expression was a little angry: "Those people didn't have to die, they escaped from the city after hardships, and they faced death again because of their stupid actions...... Calling this place makes me feel sick and I don't want to stay even a minute. β
"We're not going to be here for long."
The corners of Su Hao's mouth flashed with a slightly bitter smile. He sighed and shook his head: "This time tomorrow, we will not be able to enjoy peace. Inform the people below to rest as soon as possible and ...... tomorrow It will be a time of confusion and fear. β
It was a night of anticipation and doubt. Some people are restless, some sleep soundly, and some sit all night with nightmares and cold sweats.
The front command post of the 184 Army was a six-story residential building, which originally belonged to a certain township government. The chaos since the outbreak of the virus has inevitably affected the area, and the mutant creatures have little interest in luxurious decorations. The sofas and furniture are dusty and dusty, and as long as they are wiped clean, they still look high-end and classy.
Zhang Shengfei's bedroom originally belonged to the township chief. Everything about the half-bald officer on his head had long since been thrown out of the window by the orderlies. Despite this, when Zhang Shengfei was resting on the spacious bed, he still noticed that two cockroaches were fighting under the bed, and the fuse was a condom that had long been hard. God knows what they want that kind of thing. Perhaps in the eyes of cockroaches, the milky yellow rubber sleeve is very similar to milk, which can be used as a supper.
It is impossible for condoms to appear in such places for no reason. Zhang Shengfei decided that this must be the relic of the original owner of the house, that is, the township chief. A guy won't be bored enough to play with a condom on his own, which means that he and she must have fought passionately in this bed. In addition to semen, there is sweat, saliva, and maybe dirty urine......
These disgusting things have long since evaporated, and there is not the slightest trace to follow.
Zhang Shengfei didn't sleep well all night, he always felt that he was stained with these inexplicable things, and he had the urge to take a bath at any time. Strong anger and irritability accompanied him, and until dawn, Zhang Shengfei still felt that his body was faintly smelly, and his mind was full of terrible shots of lewd men and women shaking wildly.
Dominated by this mood, he didn't even eat breakfast.
Because the porridge served in the cafeteria looks like semen, and the meat buns are shaped like the breasts of an old ugly woman whose milk is sucked on. As for pickles...... The chef sliced them finely and tossed them with chili oil. But in Zhang Shengfei's eyes, he will always unconsciously associate these black and thin things in the dish with the word "penis".
In this state of boredom and gloom, Zhang Shengfei stayed up until noon.
As the weather gets hotter, the water on the ground evaporates. This environment is ideal for pheromone diffusion to achieve the best results.
Zhang Shengfei stood on the roof of the command post and looked into the distance with a telescope. Behind him, there were more than a dozen senior officers standing, as well as his own nephew Zhang Wen.
"General, you will go down in history for this battle. This is a new kind of biological warfare, and this war will completely change the confrontation situation in the southeast theater. We're going to turn the defense into offense and wipe out the mutated creatures once and for all.
With outsiders present, Zhang Wen could only omit the intimate "uncle" and directly address him as "general". Tout, but also become more dramatic.
Zhang Shengfei bowed slightly, noncommittal to his nephew's overly intimate words.
He kept his eyes on the helicopter formation flying in the sky.
In total, there were six Nighthawk helicopters, all carrying iron canisters containing concentrated pheromones. Through the calculation of the area of Hefei and the evaluation of various data from the Lujiang battle, the General Staff of the Group Army finally obtained a multiple increase in the amount of pheromones delivered.
The helicopter flies in a standard triangular formation. This ensures that the throwing point of the canister is concentrated and the pheromone release area is confined to a defined location without large-scale diffusion effects.
This is also the problem that Zhang Shengfei is most worried about.
Su Hao's reminder to him was not uselessββββ just yesterday, Zhang Shengfei ordered again, asking the staff to accurately calculate the amount of delivery, and make sure that there were no errors.
This is critical. Disturbing 300,000 mutated creatures at once is a different concept than disturbing 3 million at a time. The former means victory, fame, promotion, and the latter means death, the collapse of the defensive line, and the fall of the city.
Su Hao's words, Zhang Shengfei really cared.
But after all, he could not give up a series of significant gains from victory.
What's more, all the staff officers, including his nephew Zhang Wen, repeatedly assured that there would be no problems in the campaign. In addition to the Battle of Lujiang, there were other theaters that also fought similar small-scale annihilation battles. All of these can be used as reference standards.
However, this is the first time that a plan has been launched in a large city with more than a million mutated creatures.
Perhaps, I should order the suspension of the plan......
With this inexplicable complex psychology, Zhang Shengfei watched the helicopter open the hatch, threw black iron cans from the air, and fell to the ground with the arc of the volley.
Zhang Shengfei put down the binoculars and turned his gaze to the large battlefield monitoring screen set up behind him. Now, the battlefield perspective is controlled by a helicopter hovering in the air. They are equipped with high-definition cameras that can transmit images simultaneously.
The milky white mist slowly drifted away from the cracked iron can, and soon enveloped the nearest bloody corpse.
Strange sound waves soon came from the depths of the city, as if the crowd was chattering and talking. Immediately afterward, the sound was covered with a tremendous shock, transforming into a terrifying howl.
It was the vibration of countless legs running wildly on the ground, as intense as a mountain roaring tsunami, with the iron can landing point as the core, and suddenly a cloud of dust and fog that covered the sky and the sun, wrapped in countless mutated creatures swarming outward.
