"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......" Just when he was trying to recall the time when the zombie disease first broke out, whether he had a selective bias in personnel and development direction, and whether he could improve it, a series of muffled thunder suddenly came from the north. There was a break at first, but it soon became one.

"Little fat man, is that an artilleryman?" Hearing the sound, Hong Tao got up with a bone, walked quickly to the north side of the roof and raised the telescope to observe. At the same time, Zhang Ke was asked through the walkie-talkie, if the alliance rescue operation started, there was no reason not to tell him.

"Judging by the sound, it is 122 howitzers, and it seems that there is at least one heavy artillery battalion in size, and it should be the main force of the alliance that has arrived."

Zhang Ke's people were not on the roof at all, and the sound was still a little vague, probably sleeping. It wasn't just the coachman who was busy last night, but the soldiers had to do the same job, and it seems that he wasn't idle, making up for sleep.

"They're going to blow up a way with shells!?" It is said that Hong Tao should not disturb Zhang Ke's sleep again, and it is not easy to fall asleep in this here and now. But he has a lot of questions in his heart, and it is a matter of life and death for hundreds of lives, so he doesn't care whether anyone is sleepy or not.

"Grandpa Hong, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed this time, Minister Jiao only said that I should wait patiently and maintain the state of the troops, and he didn't say a word about when the rescue would start and in what way.

Don't worry, Minister Zhou and Minister Lin have arrived at Minggang Airport yesterday afternoon, and he also knows that you are alive, and he will rescue you no matter what method is used. ”

"Well, then I'll wait and see!" Hong Tao really doesn't believe that Jiao Qiao has this ability, even if he adds Zhou Yuan and Lin Na. It's not that they don't have enough capacity, it's that the East Asian alliance doesn't have enough capacity.

If this matter had been placed seven or eight years ago, there would have been no need to work so hard, hundreds of thousands of zombies, there were formed armored units on the ground, and there were all kinds of planes in the sky. Just say, as long as a large number of weapons and ammunition that have been equipped in China can't be finished, they can't be thrown away, and a lot of fuel and accessories can be made!

Don't use too many troops, a few thousand is enough, the front plane throws bombs and heavy artillery plows the ground, the rear armor cluster strafes, and the infantry at the back only needs to deal with scattered zombies, maybe even the entire zombie can't be touched, only the battlefield is cleaned.

But now the strength of human beings is not what it used to be, not rising but falling, a big decline. Not to mention armored clusters and bombers, it is a question of whether large-caliber shells alone can be thrown for several hours in a row. I'm afraid that even if I shake off all the family foundations, I won't be able to deal a devastating blow to the zombie group.

But this account is only a rough calculation, and Hong Tao is not sure that the East Asian Alliance has no money left, so he can only hold the mentality of believing it or not, and let time verify it.

"Report, Brigade Commander Niu called, the 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the Reserve Force have completed the key cleanup of the area from the south bank of the Huai River to the railway line, the process is very smooth, it has not been attacked by a large-scale zombie group, and it is currently harassing and shooting at the villages on the north side of the reservoir, please instruct!"

At this moment, on the high-rise building on the north bank of the Huai River, Jiao Qiao and a group of navy, army and air force generals also held binoculars to look south. An army staff officer ran over quickly and handed over a piece of paper with the contents of the walkie-talkie transcribed by the communications officer.

“…… Let's get started as planned! Jiao Qiao took the telegram expressionlessly, looked at it, and then handed it to the air force general, still holding the telescope and looking at the south bank.

Today's battle plan was just drawn up last night, and most of the generals of the navy, land and air force who participated in the battle did not sleep much, and he was the same, almost never closed his eyes, but he did not feel sleepy at all. The plan is so weird, so weird that everyone forgets about sleepiness and waits to see the effect.

What was supposed to be done by the Army and Air Force is now all in the hands of a very small group. And this group has no number, no provenance, only a code name, X group.

As soon as this kind of combat method was proposed by Zhou Yuan, it was opposed by almost all military generals. If seven or eight people can defeat hundreds of thousands of zombies with the so-called high technology, then what is the use of the army in the future? It's not just a matter of bragging, it's a serious contempt for the army!

If only Zhou Yuan and Lin Na were present, even if He Wanjun, who could represent the chairman in principle, was added, this suggestion would not have been adopted by the military. But in the end, it was passed, because Jiao Qiao was present, and he firmly stood on Zhou Yuan's side as the commander of the three armies.

This kind of action not only made all the generals present drop their jaws in shock, but also couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in their hearts. The Minister of the Armed Forces, who has never expressed his position, actually supported the backbone of the royalists in a clear manner, could it be said that the direction of the wind is about to change?

There is a hill less than 2 kilometers away from the south bank of the Huai River, which is said to be a hill, but in fact it is a small hill with a slight protrusion of several tens of meters, and the command post of the 1st Reserve Brigade is built here.

Niu Dafu, who had just passed his 42nd birthday, was dressed in a combat uniform, wearing a steel helmet, standing on the roof of the infantry chariot with his hands crossed on his waist, his dark face with a serious expression, one eye looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance through dark brown sunglasses, and his lips were tightly closed.

Don't look at him as a veteran of the same period as Chu Qiu, Lin Na, and Zhou Yuan, but not only did he not get the light in his career, but he also suffered a lot. With Hong Tao's evaluation of him back then, Lan Di really didn't give him a chance when he was the head of the armed forces, no matter how heroic he was in battle, he was always stuck in the position of battalion commander.

Why this happened, he himself was a little puzzled at the time, and later it was his old superior Gao Tianyi who inadvertently mentioned it while drinking and chatting. Although the old man who blinded his eyes and killed his younger brother is gone, the ghost still lingers!

But to be honest, Niu Dafu did not give up on himself because of this, every time he encountered a battle, no matter whether he was facing the same kind or zombies, he still took the lead in rushing to the front line, so he also made many achievements.

He didn't want to turn his grief into strength, he just felt that it was boring to live like this, but he didn't have the courage to commit suicide, always thinking that one day he would die a well-deserved death on the battlefield.

The ancients are still right, it is a blessing and not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. As a result, I don't want to be promoted, but the opportunity has come. After the annexation of the four-province alliance, the revival alliance not only changed its name, but also made relatively large adjustments to the military system, mainly by expanding its organization.

As a result, Jiao Qiao and Zhang Tao, who had just taken office, pulled the officers who knew a little about military affairs and experience several times, but they were stunned and did not find a more suitable candidate to become a brigade commander than him.

As time goes by, there are probably few people who still remember Hong Tao's advice back then, and even Jiao Qiao has forgotten about it. In addition, Gao Tianyi helped to stand up and cheer in the council, and the proposal was approved by a majority as soon as it was handed in.

The 1st Brigade is considered the most elite unit in the Alliance Army, with the earliest formation time and the most veterans, so it shoulders the heaviest tasks. Its four regiments were all split for use, one regiment in the three eastern provinces, one regiment in the northwest, and the brigade direct team and the last regiment were stationed in HD, guarding the southern gate of the alliance.

This time, he was suddenly transferred to the 1st Brigade of the Reserve to be responsible for directing the rescue operation, and it was not a blind command without a target. This new unit has been in fact there all along

Xinxiang, Zhengzhou, and Xuchang are training, and the ones in charge of training are Niu Dafu's subordinates, and he is the most suitable in terms of distance and familiarity with the situation.

Niu Dafu himself doesn't have any emotions about this transfer, whether to fight, who to fight with or not, it's a little annoying to train all day long, and take the troops out for a walk, not only can you relax, but you can also get a lot of benefits. For example, collect materials from the old world along the way, and bring them back after the war, and sell them for money!

However, this time he went south, Niu Dafu's mood was really not good, not because of official affairs, but 100% private affairs. Four years ago, when he was first promoted to brigade commander, his first fire burned to the three eastern provinces.

Personally ran over with the brigade direct team, adjusting more than half of the middle and low-level commanders from top to bottom. All those who cowered in the war were kicked away, and those who dared to rush and dare to fight, and there were not so many twists and turns in their brains, and by the way, a few cronies who knew the roots were stuffed in.
