Outside Nanyang City, in a military camp less than a dozen miles away.

In an improvised marching vehicle, several men in military uniforms sat around the conference table, their eyes fixed on the television screen on the wall. The screen is playing the image of Nanyang City, the image is transmitted back by the unmanned reconnaissance plane suspended in the sky over Nanyang City, if Lu Ziming sees these equipment, I am afraid that he will be angry again, and he will go crazy with jealousy, "Why is the gap between people and people so big?"

Stationed outside Nanyang City is the 0213 Mechanized Division of the 13th Army of the Jinan Military Region, which reached 20,000 people in the civilized period, and now it has swelled to nearly 30,000, but it is full of recruits, and the soldiers who really have combat effectiveness are less than 2 percent.

It is already the limit of the military to be able to retain 2 percent of the combat effectiveness, and some unimportant regiments do not even have 10 percent of the combat effectiveness, and the soldiers among them cannot even grasp the guns steadily.

Peng Biao, the political commissar of the 0213 Division, had a handful of beard on his mouth, and calmly pointed to the screen next to him and said: "It took us a month and a half to restore the number of troops to the pre-virus level, during this period, we cleared the zombies on the periphery of Nanyang, not only cleared a large number of zombies, but also improved the combat ability of the recruits, and now it is time to launch a general attack on Nanyang City."

"Political Commissar Peng, the recruits have only been trained for a month and a half, and the casualties are heavy, are we too anxious", at the head of the conference table sat a thin and capable man, with no expression on his face, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, this person is Qi Xingguo, the commander of the Second Brigade, known as Qi Monkey, who is cunning and clever, and is the most observant of words and feelings, and jumps out to test first.

"Hurry! Do you think we don't have the strength, or do you think we can't win this war?" Peng Biao said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Not to be outdone, Qi Xingguo said: "I didn't mean that, just now Political Commissar Peng himself said that there are more than a million zombies concentrated in Nanyang City, if you count the scattered zombies around, the number should reach more than two million, we only have 30,000 recruits on hand now, it is not a problem to fight a local battle, but we have to launch a general attack on Nanyang...... It seems like time is a bit rushed."

"Are you questioning the orders of the military department?"

"Don't dare!"

Peng Biao waved the text in his hand and said: "The military department has called and asked us to end the battle in Nanyang as much as possible, do you know how much impact the restoration of a big city has on the operation of the whole country? This battle is decided by the military department, and if anyone has any objections, they can directly raise it with the military headquarters."

A few days ago, the Jinan Military Region decided to launch a small-scale campaign, and the location was Nanyang, and the operation of division-level units was indeed a small campaign for the Jinan Military Region, and it was also a tentative offensive.

The reason why the Jinan Military Region launched such a campaign at this time was entirely out of political considerations, and the successful recovery of a medium-sized city was not only a strategic need, but also a vital encouragement to restore confidence on the entire battlefield.

It has been two months since the outbreak of the virus, except for some small towns, the military has not yet recovered a large and medium-sized city, some survivors have expressed doubts about the military's capabilities, and some in the military are also dissatisfied with the leadership of the military's top leadership, and the Jinan Military Region has been eager to show its iron fist.

Zhang Pu slowly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not rested for a long time, and his tone did not fluctuate at all: "This task is quite arduous, the General Staff Department has already issued a battle plan, and all units will assemble at the designated position in the next two days and wait for the order of the general attack."

The words of division commander Zhang Pu represent the decision of the entire division, and there is no room for negotiation, regardless of whether the plan is feasible or not, and this battle must be completed, this is the army.

With Zhang Pu's support, Peng Biao said with arrogance in his eyes: "I know your concerns, you are all people who lead troops, and you know when to attack to be powerful for the army, but the duty of a soldier is to obey orders." A week ago, the military headquarters issued a plan for the battle of Nanyang, ordering our division to launch a general offensive before 1 October to present a great gift for the National Day, which is the glory of our division and the glory of the entire Jinan Military Region, and we must fight this battle well and live up to the hopes of the people of the whole country for us......

Pang Xu, the commander of the First Brigade, lowered his head and listened to Peng Biao's impassioned mobilization speech, and his eyes secretly swept over the division commander Zhang Pu, and found that Zhang Pu was frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

Qi Xingguo kicked Pang Xu under the conference table with his foot, the eyes of the two touched, and he turned his head to look at Gong Cheng, the commander of the Third Brigade next to him, and the eyes of the three lowered their heads as soon as they made contact, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, a map of Nanyang City appeared on the screen, and Peng Biao pointed to the map and said: "The opinion of the General Staff Department is to keep the buildings in Nanyang City as much as possible, drive the zombies entrenched in the city to the outskirts of the city, and then concentrate on eliminating the zombies, so as to exchange the minimum price for the greatest result......."

"Will the zombies obediently obey our commands? According to my experience, zombies usually do not leave their gathering places unless they are lured with fresh flesh and blood, from the city to the suburbs, luring a large number of zombies requires a lot of food, but we don't have so much food in our hands now", Gong Cheng put forward his opinion.

Peng Biao looked at Gong Chengdao like an idiot: "Have you forgotten that there are still information hormones? As long as we spray a large amount of information hormones on the pre-designed route, the zombies will move along the road sprinkled with information hormones, and the General Staff has done a lot of practical work in this regard, as long as we can lure the zombies from the city to the outskirts ......of the city, we can use our heavy weapons on a large scale to destroy the zombies."

General Qi Xingguo felt that the staff of the staff were unreliable, so he could conclude that the zombies would obediently leave the city based on some numbers in the room, so what did the soldiers do in the street fighting.

Gong Cheng couldn't help but say: "Political Commissar Peng, what if the zombies don't leave the city, do we have a backup plan?"

"Of course there is!" Peng Biao said with great interest: "In order to prevent the zombies from escaping from Nanyang City from other directions, our division will seal several main exits of the city in advance, leaving only one exit to let the zombies enter the trap we designed. For this plan, the military department has added 50 tanks, 200 artillery pieces, 80 rocket launchers, 1,000 heavy weapons and a large amount of ammunition, and will send a company of helicopters to support our battle.
