817 Coming to Departure (Happy Birthday to Myself)

"Toot toot toot...... ......At this time, the whistle sounded, and the two teams of soldiers stepped forward, standing upright, saluting, raising their guns, and shooting...... This action was repeated three times, and then the fire was lit, and after the ceremony was completed, the coachmen on both sides were escorted back to the station by the soldiers.

"Chief of Staff, isn't it appropriate to take them to the zombie-controlled area?" Watching the coachmen gradually move away, Yang Ming, the commander of the 8th regiment, immediately came to Zhang Ke's side and raised objections to the revised plan that had just been revised last night.

Given that there were enough drivers, it was agreed that the mission could be continued, so that the incident of the convoy being attacked by zombies could be mixed together in the clean-up operation report, and a little polish would make it less abrupt. After all, it is normal to be attacked in the zombie control area, and death and injury are inevitable.

But seeing the performance of the two groups of coachmen at the memorial ceremony, Yang Ming, who originally strongly advocated continuing to go south, immediately beat a drum in his heart. Yes, it is necessary to continue the mission to cover up the mistakes of the battalion commander, but it is more important to ensure the lives of the officers and men of the whole regiment.

The coachmen almost started fighting under the noses of the army, and after crossing the Huai River, the combat troops had to be deployed immediately, and who had so many troops to fight 24 hours a day. In case the logistics convoy fights each other first, the combat troops in front will not have to starve to death!

"The driver of Changfeng and Zhongyi Company will follow you, and let the driver of Ping An Company follow me. Take the first battalion and the third battalion, and give the second battalion to me. However, Battalion Commander Jiang didn't want to set off with the team, and asked him to take a squad to be responsible for communication at the airport. ”

Regarding the problem of the coachman, Zhang Ke knows more clearly and deeply than Yang Ming, as long as the two groups of people are not brought together, there is nothing. To put it bluntly, the feud between the coachmen only exists at the corporate level, and does not rise to the point where even the army is involved.

In addition, this year's action to clean up the zombie control area is not quite the same as in previous years, as long as it is not completely unconditional, no one can stop. It is related to the planning of the General Staff for nearly half a year, and a bunch of high-ranking officials are waiting to hear the results of their field investigations.

"It's okay, the guard company, the engineer company, and the heavy firepower company will be assigned to the second battalion, or the communication company will also be rowed over......" Yang Ming felt that separating the coachmen was a solution, but he began to worry about Zhang Ke's safety again.

If this young deputy chief of staff, who is very likely to be the successor of the future Minister of Armed Forces, suffers in the 8th Regiment, as soon as he comes to power in the future, he is afraid that he will not have good fruit to eat except for retiring as soon as possible.

"Commander Yang, you have assigned all the teams directly under the regiment to me, what firepower do the first and third battalions use to deal with a large number of zombies? Don't forget, there's no living corpse and there's no Blue Devil, and that thing can be trickier to deal with sometimes. Don't worry, I'm not sitting on the mallet in the office, after crossing the river, I am only responsible for the flank of the main attack direction, and I will not rush forward! ”

Zhang Ke smiled and patted Captain Yang's arm, signaling that there was no need to be so nervous. When it comes to fighting zombies, even your brigade commander Wang Yingan has to be considered a junior. When Lao Tzu followed Grandpa Hong to shoot zombies with a steel crossbow, you were still hiding in the ruins and panicking all day long!

"Lao Yang, the chief of staff is a veteran who participated in the first battle to defend the capital, so don't be a blind commander. In this way, our squadron allocated a light infantry combat vehicle to the chief of staff as a command vehicle, and its radio power is even greater! ”

The air force squadron leader on the side heard the hint of pride in Zhang Ke's words, and immediately understood it and patted it a little. But we can't just fill the leadership with our mouths, we must come up with some dry goods. And it can't be said to be used to ensure safety, it has to be said that when it is a communication hub, it is all for work, listen, who can bear to refuse!

"The airport can't be relaxed, I will immediately respond to the ministry when I go back, and the defense of the airport must be strengthened, especially the armored vehicles, it is difficult to deal with the attack of large groups of zombies with the light firepower of the soldiers alone. The further south you go, the more dangerous it is, and I haven't been there for more than a decade! ”

Zhang Ke was not stingy and immediately responded to the goodwill of the Air Force. In fact, it's not all about returning, it's one thing to sit in the office and read various reports, and it's another thing to go down to the front line in person.

The defense of Minggang Airport is still a bit weak, not because there are few people but because of the lack of heavy weapons, especially the rifle combat vehicles, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and self-propelled rocket artillery with strong mobility and fierce firepower, and relying only on the 30mm small matchsticks and coaxial machine guns on the Air Force's exclusive light infantry combat vehicles, you have to be blinded when you encounter a slightly large-scale zombie tide.

And the Air Force and the Army are not the same, the personnel and equipment they have to protect are very valuable. The airfield was full of planes, fuel, weapons, ammunition, and baggage, and it would be very heavy if it was lost, and it must be strengthened as soon as possible.

"Oh, thanks to the Chief of Staff being able to come down and walk, otherwise it would be useless for us to cry every day. It doesn't take much, we can transfer an armored battalion, and then cooperate with our transport planes, and tens of thousands of zombies will be no problem. What blue devils are not blue devils, all of them will kill the medicine! ”

This promise made the squadron leader almost shed tears, and the same report has not come back for more than two months. Although the deputy chief of staff just said it, as long as he can really go to the ministry to react, the effect will definitely be different.

Those bureaucrats who sit in the office are not afraid of reporting every day, nor are they afraid of overstepping the level of reaction, they all do things according to the process, and there is nothing wrong. But they are afraid that their superiors will name them, as long as they order, they will have to omit any process, and they will not be able to do a special thing, anyway, how fast and how fast.

"Chief of Staff, what should I do if I cross the Huai River and meet people from the south?" Unlike the Air Force, Yang Ming also wanted to open his mouth to ask for equipment, but this mouth couldn't be opened. He still has a brigade commander above him, even if he cries poor, the brigade commander has to come forward, it's really not his turn, sometimes it's wrong to be too positive.

But guarding a high-ranking officer who can reach the sky returns empty-handed, if the brigade commander asks, it is also a problem. So he changed the topic, stopped crying poor, and instead discussed the grand strategic direction.

Regarding the topic of the alliance going south, it is a top secret at the top level, and it will definitely not be announced until it is finalized. But as an active-duty officer, it's impossible not to feel this kind of thing at all. In total, it's just such an army, and no one who is transferred around can see any clues.

"According to the intelligence department's report, in the past four years, no formed troops from Wuhan have been found to have crossed the river to the north, nor have we heard of any local non-governmental organizations exploring northward, so there should be no major accidents in this regard.

If you do find out, you must refrain from it, notify me immediately, and don't act on your own. If you have to, you can fight back to a limited extent...... Unless you are completely sure that you will be surrounded and annihilated, do not clash head-on! ”

Zhang Ke didn't dare to talk nonsense about this issue, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he couldn't ask himself for instructions on everything, and the necessary command authority still had to be delegated. However, there is a degree of problem, which requires the commander to play on the spot, which is also the difference between experienced and inexperienced.

"Hehe, understand clearly, don't leave a living mouth, there is no proof of death......" Yang Ming is more experienced, after listening to Zhang Ke's answer, he already has a relatively clear understanding of the scale of this southward operation, and at the same time, he also understands the intention of the leader 100%.

Zhang Ke's meaning translates to mean that you can grab and beat, but you must wipe your buttocks clean. In fact, this kind of small-scale conflict occurs every year, and there is a little friction not only with the South-East Alliance, but also with the South-West Alliance and the Redeemers.

There are two approaches to such petty frictions between the Ministry of Armed Forces and the Union Government. Externally, it must be regret and regret, condemn and condemn, blame and condemn, put all the responsibility on the other side's head, and then let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pull it, and no one will mention it.

Internally, the requirements are more specific. Officers at and above the battalion level will regularly go to the base in the north of the city to receive special training from the air service regiment, and in addition to counter-infiltration, they will also take advantage of the advantages of terrain, climate, and equipment in a small-scale conflict.

To sum it up, it is okay to fight or capture, as long as the victory is won and the other side is not left with real evidence, the commander is considered to have made meritorious service. On the contrary, no matter how wronged you are and how unreasonable the other party is, it is all your fault, who makes you unable to win and wipe your ass cleanly!
