Volume I, Section 209 Reversal
Su Hao's questions were extremely sharp, and they easily pierced all the cover-ups.
The major's face turned pale, he tried to resist the urge to pounce and raise his fist to beat Su Hao, swallowed his throat hard, and said in a deep voice: "I said, we have the strongest position, and we have incomparably powerful firepower."
"That's just a powerful ———— you imagined"
Su Hao shook his head, his face showing obvious worry: "I admit that the large-caliber combined machine gun is indeed very powerful, and it can form a large-scale obstacle at the level. However, the mutated creatures that entered the shock state were not rational at all, and they stepped forward one after another, stepping on the corpses of their companions and rushing outward. You simply don't have the time and the opportunity to clean up the battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of corpses will block the road, and as the height increases, they will also use the previously blocked roadway auxiliary roads. There are no more obstacles in the city, and even if the building is detonated, it will not have the desired effect. Once they rush out, don't say it's three lines of defense, even thirty are useless. They are not human, they don't act according to our way of thinking, and they don't think about supplies, flanks, rear ......."
Speaking of the most lush, Su Hao's voice gradually became softer and softer, becoming an extremely heavy sigh.
Fang Chen, Liu Jiangyuan and other officers looked at Su Hao silently, their expressions becoming heavy.
This explanation is thorough, not vexatious, but illustrates the intent in many ways. Those present were all professional soldiers, and there was no difficulty in understanding.
The major stared at Su Hao, his eyes full of jealousy and anger.
"No, it's all your imagination. I don't believe it, I don't believe in ————"
His voice grew louder and louder: "You are afraid that your exploits will be surpassed by others, so you are desperately trying to prevent similar combat plans from passing the review." I've seen this kind of thing a lot, it's just that you can do it and others can't. Want to convince me? Evidence can be presented. As long as there is a factual basis, I will be at your disposal. ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Hao's eyes. He looked at each other calmly and didn't say a word.
Su Hao was unable to produce evidence.
However, there are some things that do not require any evidence at all, only the lessons of blood丨Mountains of corpses.
"Okay, okay, this is just a discussion of the feasibility of the plan, and there is no need to blush and have a thick neck———
Zhang Shengfei's words broke the coldness on the table.
He first glared at the major sitting next to him, forced the other party to stop with a cold gaze, and then turned his gaze to Su Hao, and said with a pleasant face: "Colonel Su, if you don't use this plan, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
Looking at Zhang Shengfei, who wanted to be peaceful, Su Hao let out a long breath.
"There must be a way. But it has to consume a lot of time, as well as supplies. Generally speaking, in fact, it is to reduce the scope and scale of the battle as much as possible, not to ask too much, and to achieve the goal through cannibalization and weakness. The number of mutated creatures in each battle cannot exceed 200,000, which is the limit of what the terrain and space can accommodate.
The dinner ended in a dreary atmosphere. In order to make Su Hao's mood happy, Liu Jiangyuan dragged him to the middle of several generals and introduced Fang Chen and the others one by one. Due to the common knowledge of interests and ideas, this small circle soon let out a light laugh.
Zhang Shengfei didn't stay long. Half an hour later, the convoy drove along the road and headed towards the Nanyang base.
Sitting on the spacious seat of the military off-road vehicle, Zhang Shengfei clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned back in the most comfortable position, closed his eyes slightly, and began to pretend to sleep.
The young major sat next to him, his expression blank, without the slightest embarrassment of an ordinary soldier and a senior general. He curled up in the corner of his seat, tilted his head, and silently stared at the flying scenery outside the car window, the depths of his eyes flickering with a cold and fierce light from time to time.
Zhang Wen is 27 years old this year. Being able to become a major at this age, in addition to the influence of his family background and elders, is also a recognition of his own ability.
He was tall, thin, but full of masculine charm, with strong muscles in his arms and thighs, a pale complexion, and slightly curly hair, which naturally exuded the cold arrogance of his family background and status
After coming out of the 11th Independent Army, a thick cloud has been hanging over Zhang Wen. It looked like his face was darker than usual under his hair.
"Uncle, Su Hao doesn't have any respect for you at all. He's very domineering and doesn't take you seriously at all. ”
When he said this, Zhang Wen's tone was calm, and there was no resentment or anger at all. Like a bystander who has nothing to do with himself, express his attitude in the most impartial language.
Zhang Shengfei didn't open his eyes, his body swayed back and forth with the bumps of the body, and only let out a very slight "um" sound from his nostrils.
"The Battle of Hefei is very crucial, and it is very helpful for your promotion, uncle. The commander of the 184 Army should not be just a lieutenant general. There was no problem with the plan we formulated at all, Su Hao was purely red-eyed, he knew that we excluded him, the 11th Independent Army did not belong to the establishment of the 184th Group Army, and this victory had nothing to do with him. Seeing the new tactics he created become the merits of others, of course he would not be willing. Don't say it's him, even if it's me in the same perspective, I'll object. ”
Zhang Wen's tone was a little eager, he tried his best to maintain a calm and calm style, but some jealousy and anger could still be heard in his words.
He was a young man after all. In military schools, you can only learn the essence of relevant military subjects, but you can't gain too much social experience. In another ten or twenty years, his words would certainly be much more restrained than they are now, but they would be enough to express the same will.
Zhang Shengfei is Zhang Wen's uncle. With this relationship, Zhang Wen drew on the experience of the Battle of Lujiang and compiled the action plan for the Hefei Campaign based on Su Hao's plan. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, this is nothing more than a copy of the increase in troops and weapons and the expansion of the scale of the battle. However, the actual situation is far from the case, which also includes a large number of problems in the transfer of materials, topographic surveys, personnel and equipment transfers, etc.
But no matter what, with the battle of Lujiang that just happened, anyone who sees this plan will subconsciously associate it.
This made Zhang Wen feel angry———— he felt that Su Hao was a stumbling block in front of him, like a magnet that absorbed light, and was frantically plundering the honor that originally belonged to him.
That's right, you did win the battle of Lujiang. But does that mean you'll never lose?
I will prove myself on your basis. Your vision is too small, your consciousness is too narrow, victory is actually a large number of death numbers stacked, I can completely overwhelm you with dozens of times the number of kills in the Battle of Lujiang. This is a world where young people roam freely, and I'm going to prove that I'm better than you in a big battle that no one can fault with it. I will hit you, outsmarter than you, and stand at the height you must look up.
Although Zhang Shengfei was pretending to sleep, the expression on his face was very solemn.
To be honest, he was also very dissatisfied with Su Hao's performance at the dinner table.
Those words were very heavy, and they did not save face for their nephews in the slightest.
A person who can have real power in the officialdom, in addition to his own ability, must also have a keen enough eye and a sense of insight to grasp the direction of things.
Yes, Zhang Shengfei did not introduce Zhang Wen to everyone. But so what? Zhang Wen was standing beside him, and I am afraid that no one would think that a lieutenant general and a major would be engaged in public affairs. Is there any other explanation other than relatives or cronies?
Xu Renjie said in the telegram that Su Hao is a smart person.
Zhang Shengfei didn't have much contact with Su Hao, but he could feel this. What's more, the Battle of Lujiang is the best proof of this———— fools will not come up with that kind of whimsical battle plan, let alone give up part of their merits to Liu Jiangyuan after the war.
Okay, take a step back, even if Su Hao doesn't see the relationship between Zhang Wen and me, he is a person from the headquarters of the 184th Group Army after all. In front of so many subordinates, directly denying the entire plan is equivalent to a naked slap in the face.
Zhang Shengfei's heart was full of mixed feelings, and his face gradually turned blue.
His nephew did have some truth in saying it———— Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian valued Su Hao very much. An independent unit commander with high-level enhancement capabilities, this is probably the confidence of him to dare to contradict and offend himself......
The human heart is a very complex and wonderful thing.
Speaking from his heart, Su Hao has never been disrespectful to Zhang Shengfei. Having experienced the ups and downs of the future world, Su Hao knew very well what he should say when he should speak. However, things are so strange, if it weren't for the rejection of the Hefei Battle Plan, Zhang Shengfei would not feel that Su Hao was disrespectful to him, let alone think of a lot of empty negative thoughts.
As Zhang Wen said, the Battle of Hefei is indeed the focus of Zhang Shengfei's concern at the moment.
He had been in the position of lieutenant general for too long. If you can move up and take a walk, it will bring great benefits to the entire Southeast Third Theater.
The world has changed.
The practice of demarcating war zones based on the jurisdiction of group armies is a bit like the division of warlords in ancient times. Although all military groups are required to obey the orders of the military headquarters, they already have a great deal of freedom in the movement of troops, and can even refuse to do so on the basis of local combat conditions.
Zhang Shengfei is working on the development of two more new base cities. The area has been demarcated, and the development plan has been reported, but the approval has not been delayed. Zhang Shengfei didn't know what the review opinion of the Lu Dao Military Department was, but he knew that once Lu Dao had more new bases, the power under his control would naturally be greater and more. The capital to survive in this troubled world is even stronger.
The time for the formation of the 184 Army was too short. Neither qualifications nor equipment, personnel or the degree of attention they receive can be compared with those veteran troops. If it weren't for the large-scale expansion of the army under the pressure of the virus storm, I am afraid that there would not be the number of the 184th Group Army at all. If the war ends one day for some reason, the chances of the 184th Army being dismantled are very high, even absolute.
Thinking of this, the distraught Zhang Shengfei couldn't help but shudder.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt that the air in the SUV was stuffy and his throat was uncomfortably dry.
"Xiaowen, tell me your opinion———— do you think Su Hao is intimidating? Or are you exaggerating the facts?
"Both"
Zhang Wen's eyes lit up. He's a smart guy. Of course, you can understand the hidden meaning of Zhang Shengfei's words.
"Combat and campaign are two different concepts. From your point of view, an intense and large-scale campaign to annihilate the enemy is enough to lay the foundation. At present, the situation on the Hefei battlefield is very good, five divisions have already built fortifications on the outskirts of the city, and two infantry divisions can arrive on the battlefield by the day after tomorrow at the latest. We have more troops than any city assault since the outbreak of the virus. There are no obstacles to the north and south, and there is a convenient transportation network. We also have a large stockpile of weapons and ammunition, and we have plenty of fuel supplies. Whether material or manpower, it can be guaranteed in an all-round way. ”
"I've checked Su Hao's records, and this is a very smart guy who is also good at calculating opponents. He has set a record of "full excellence" in the annihilation of 1,500 mutated creatures with combat squads, and has also performed well in several skirmishes. He is popular, polite, and knows how to give up part of his interests in exchange for greater benefits. I believe that if he were to be in charge of this plan, Su Hao would definitely put forward a much larger campaign goal than he is now. His appetite has always been great, and it is likely that the focus is no longer on Hefei, but on the whole east. It was in his interest to do so, and the results were enough to catapult him to the rank of general. However, it would not do us any good to do that. The 184 Army had limited strength, and it was difficult to achieve large-scale maneuvers in a narrow space. Greed for more will only make us indigestible. There is only one most suitable target, and that is Hefei. ”
If only based on speeches, Zhang Wen is indeed an excellent staff officer. His tone was uplifting, and his words and demeanor were reasonable, and even the driver who was driving the off-road vehicle in front of him couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, and his whole body was full of energy.
Zhang Shengfei still had an unfazed expression, without the slightest appearance of excitement.
He looked at his nephew indifferently, and his deep eyes kept flashing with a complicated gaze.
Of course, Zhang Shengfei knew the basis of Zhang Wen's words just now. The Hefei campaign plan was discussed by the General Staff of the Group Army, and the feasibility was as high as 90 percent. Even after deducting all kinds of accidents and contingencies that may occur, the success rate is still more than 67.2%. In the course of a computer-simulated battle, even in the worst-case scenario, the entire front remains solid and will never affect the rear base city.
This is the source of Zhang Shengfei's confidence, and it is also the source of his dissatisfaction with Su Hao.
Modern warfare can be predetermined by computer simulations. If you are playing against other countries, you have to take into account the number and complexity of multiple factors. However, at the moment, opponents are just mutant creatures. Satellite remote sensing maps can be used to determine their number and the area in which they are located. They have no intelligence, they are not equipped with armor, and computer simulations have reduced the unfavorable factors by more than 80 percent, and although there is no artillery and other weapons to support them, Zhang Shengfei has never doubted the success of the plan itself.
But I don't know why, Zhang Shengfei always felt that Su Hao's figure was shaking in front of him, preventing his next move.
"After I go back, I will sort out the plan and draw the book, and by tomorrow at the latest, I must report it to the military department for approval."
Hearing this, Zhang Wen's extremely expectant eyes suddenly flashed with a flame of excitement and impulsiveness. He even felt his whole body become hot.
Zhang Shengfei finally made up his mind.
He really needs a war of mass annihilation to establish his position.
In fact, Zhang Shengfei really admires Su Hao———— this young man is very good, both in knowledge and courage, far surpassing his nephew Zhang Wen.
It's a pity that Su Hao is not his relative or confidant after all.
The 11th Separate Army is stationed.
Su Hao sat in a long-abandoned house, staring out the window expressionlessly.
Most of the furniture in the room was abandoned and dusty, and the only thing that was still intact was the table in front of Su Hao and the chair he was sitting on.
On the table, there was a thick paperwork. The brand new paper exudes the fragrance of ink, and it has a very comfortable texture when twisted in the hand.
Su Hao is not a god after all, and he can't stop everything from happening———— just half an hour ago, the L84 Group Army Command issued the latest combat plan, and the content is like the one that was once debated at the dinner table. As for the specific implementation steps, troop movements, technical operations, and position settings, there is not much difference from what Su Hao did in Lujiang City, and it is almost a copy of the original.
Looking at the documents, Su Hao seemed to see Zhang Wen's extremely proud, condescending face that despised him.
"These guys are fucking disgusting to me. Great host, you, you...... Are you really going to swallow it? ”
There was a crooked square stool underneath the table. The angle of the fall is just right to block the view from the outside into the house. Haig was safe inside, and no one noticed it except Su Hao.
Haig has turned into a real mouse. Whether it's the fur, claws, tail, or teeth, it all fits the basic appearance of a mouse. The only difference is that he's a little bigger, more than twice as big as a normal mouse, so much so that he looks like a stunted cat.
Speaking of cats...... Haig's dinner yesterday was a feral cat.
Su Hao glanced at Haig casually, without accosting, but his eyes became more and more melancholy.
Zhang Shengfei's decision was wrong. He had not experienced the terrible wars of the future realm, and he did not understand the basic characteristics of mutant creatures. Yes, they used to be humans, then turned into zombies, and evolved into what they are now. This equates to three transformations in less than two years. There has never been a similar or similar species in the history of earth biology, and many people, including Zhang Shengfei, still look at them from a fixed perspective.
It's nothing short of a disaster.
