1173 Fight of wits and courage
After listening to it for about half an hour, although Niu Dafu's narrative ability was not very strong, and some details were said very incoherently, Zhang Tao still roughly understood, and his face also became solemn. But I can understand it, but I still can't do anything.
At this time, he remembered Hong Tao's prediction again, if he could always pay attention to the work of cleaning up the zombie control area, even if he only used manpower, he could achieve a lot of results in ten consecutive years. Even if you can't clean up all the zombies, it is not useless to reduce the number of zombies on a large scale.
If we can cooperate with the East Asian Alliance and the Southwest Alliance, and some of you can make a strong contribution, maybe you can really clean up the zombies in the southeast coastal area.
Even if you don't kill them all, leading them to the beach and letting the tide wash away is better than watching the living corpses evolve more and more intelligently now, and from time to time they attack humans with zombie tides.
But he is the only one in the world who has not regretted taking medicine, and when he made the decision to stop the large-scale cleanup of zombie-controlled areas, hoarding weapons, and training soldiers, he also voted in favor as one of the military leaders.
The reason is very simple, everyone feels that zombies are no longer too threatening, and the main contradiction that hinders the development of the East Asian alliance has shifted from zombies to people. How to annex and defeat other survivor organizations and gain more population and resources is what management is concerned about.
In other words, how to gain more power is what everyone cares about. Hong Tao is right, the management of the alliance has changed, from the survivors who struggled to survive to those who take and take the power. The location has changed, and the things in my mind have also changed, and the path I took was naturally different.
It's not a problem for any one person, it's a common problem for the entire management, including themselves. If someone disagrees at that time, not only will it not serve as a reminder, but it will also become an outlier, and everyone will shout and beat it, and then hurry up.
The bloody example is in front of us, and Hong Tao has repeatedly raised similar questions since his return, pointing the finger at the league's management and trying to change the status quo in various ways.
The result? Even the closest friends chose to betray at a critical moment. That's right, it's a betrayal, what Gao Tianyi did may not be clear at the time, but it's no secret now.
The resignation of Jiao Qiao and Lin Na, and the hesitation of Lan Di and Lu Ye Jiangnan is betrayal. They all felt that changing according to Hong Tao's way would greatly damage their own interests, and would rather watch Gao Tianyi and Hong Tao fight to the death, and try to profit from it, but they all miscalculated.
Of course, I can't completely leave it all out, if I am willing to give up my own interests, I only need to show a slightly obvious attitude to Zhou Yuan and Zhang Ke, and the ending will definitely not be like this.
But once people reach that time, how many people are really willing to risk their own interests for the benefit of others, for the interests of the majority, for the so-called hope and future? Maybe you have to take the life of a family!
At this point, most of the people in the management of the alliance are inferior to Zhou Yuan, Zhang Ke, and those directors, naval officers and soldiers who dare to say no, and even inferior to the homeless people in the security zone.
"Not one, at least two...... I received a reconnaissance report from the 1st Transport Bombing Group on the plane, and the new wave of zombies that had appeared near Dongying had disappeared overnight. When they were found again, the striker had already reached the eastern suburbs of Jinan, and there was no sign of stopping, and it was still moving westward. ”
Niu Dafu definitely didn't know what Zhang Tao was thinking, and he didn't have the heart to consider whether there was a problem with the previous policy. He just wants to discuss the matter and figure out the law of the zombie tide so that he can formulate the next defense plan. Strive to snatch back the initiative, and you can't run back and forth with zombies all day long.
"Wait, you said that the zombie tide in Dongying also started to move westward at night?" But Zhang Tao suddenly got up and walked to the wall where the map was hung, and picked up a pencil to find the specific location.
"Almost, the last time I found them was before dark, and ...... Alas, yes, these two zombie tides move together! Hey, do you think they're going to join forces to make a key breakthrough!
It's hard to tell, it's hard to say, and if the number is doubled, even if there is a Yellow River block, it is not very safe. We can't keep up with the speed of our march, if we pull back and forth on both sides of this thing a few times, find a gap and suddenly force a crossing, we can block the whole river! ”
Zhang Tao's question woke Niu Dafu up and made him suddenly have a new idea in his mind. The zombie tide may be playing a trick of attacking the east and west, trying to use the advantage of movement speed to find a breakthrough in the Yellow River defense line.
"Minister Niu, what you said is a bit too evil! The living corpses should not have the ability to communicate with each other over a long distance, let alone have reconnaissance planes to gain insight into the deployment and deployment of our troops. But Zhang Tao was amused, where is this zombie tide, it is simply the armored division commanded by Rommel.
If the living corpses had such superb battlefield observation and command capabilities, neither the Southern Group nor the Northern Group would have been able to run back, and they would all have to be dumpled south of the Yellow River. It is true to pay attention to difficulties in the face of difficulties, but it is not too exaggerated, and it is enough to make the most realistic analysis according to the actual situation.
"I've heard from the lab that living corpses fight each other, and those who win eat their brains that lose, and then they can evolve more powerfully, and they can command more zombies. Do you think there is a fight between the two of them, the number of this wave in the west is small, but they have to run, and the wave in the east is large, and they chase after it? ”
As soon as he talked about whether the living corpse had intelligence and how smart it would be, Niu Dafu couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago, and then began to think about it. It can't be said that it's all nonsense, from the analysis of the time and travel route of the two zombies, there is indeed a bit of a connection.
“…… So let's take a look first? Zhang Tao wanted to refute this too mythical inference, but he opened his mouth and couldn't find a reason.
"You can't just watch, the troops still have to be transferred. They can travel more than 100 kilometers at most in one night, and the focus of our defense will have to be stretched to at least 200 to 300 kilometers wide...... It's hard! ”
Niu Dafu also walked to the map, calculated according to his theory for a while, and began to shake his head. No matter how hard they try, the human army can't keep up with the zombies. There are no railway lines along the Yellow River, and it is basically impossible to mobilize troops anytime and anywhere.
"There shouldn't be a need to follow the zombie tide, we can set up a assembly point every 200 kilometers, and fix the troops and baggage at this point. Set up a defense point at a distance of 100 kilometers and send a small number of troops to defend it.
In this way, no matter how the zombie tide moves, it will be targeted by one of the points, and if you find signs of crossing the river, you can immediately organize defense. The two assembly points on the left and right are only 100 kilometers apart, and they can be reached in a day if they are forced to march. ”
Zhang Tao also felt that it was too unwise to fight with the zombie tide to march at a speed, so he changed his thinking, and I didn't move if the enemy moved! Select a suitable area on the north bank of the Yellow River for point defense, and then connect multiple points into a string. As long as the distance is adjusted appropriately and the troops are properly deployed, it should be possible to provide timely support to each other.
Although the scale of the zombie tide is unprecedented, at least millions of orders, the big river in front of him is not vegetarian. Three or four kilometers wide, four or five meters deep, the water flow is relatively turbulent, the zombies are not good at water, they have to be washed away if they enter, and it is very difficult to force the crossing.
"I now have six infantry regiments and one heavy artillery regiment, and when the second brigade is transferred, it will be nine regiments...... The distance between them is 100 kilometers, and it is easier to support each other when it is reduced to 70 kilometers. Put two battalions at each point first, leave one battalion as a reserve, and it is not too difficult to drag on for a day with the help of the Air Force!
It's easier to do it here, there are basically steep slopes and cliffs on both sides of the river from Xiaolangdi to SMX, and it is difficult for the zombie tide to get close, so you can arrange less manpower and send more observation posts. Six regiments are enough, give me all three regiments of the second brigade, and the rocket artillery regiment will be yours, how about it? ”
Niu Dafu looked at the small black dots drawn by Zhang Tao with a pencil on the map, his eyes lit up, he pinched his fingers and counted the troops, picked up the ruler and calculated the width of the defense, and counted it carefully.
The new plan only changed Zhang Tao's proposal, shortened the distance between points, and found key areas according to the strength and terrain, and the previous sad expression immediately improved, and a smile reappeared on his face.
