Jingshan back street in Beijing, the war room of the General Staff. The 100-square-meter war room was filled with smoke, and senior generals of the East Asian Alliance Army, Navy, and Air Force wearing various military uniforms gathered together, all frowning, smoking, and silent.

The news coming back from the front line was urgent, and the front-line troops were almost unable to withstand it. This situation greatly exceeded the estimate, although I also thought in advance that the scale of the zombie tide was huge, and the difficulty of defense was definitely not small, but I never thought that they would attack from both wings like humans, and directly increased the difficulty of defense several times.

"Chairman, if you don't give the order to retreat, the thousands of troops on the defense line may not be able to withdraw back!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Pan Wenxiang wiped the sweat on his face and put forward his own suggestions to Gao Tianyi, who was sitting on the side with his hands behind his back. If he could, he didn't want to be the first to offer a retreat. But as the chief of staff, I have to say where my responsibilities lie.

He had never seen such an intensity of battle, the first time he defended the capital, the defense line was not as strong as it is now, the weapons were not as advanced as now, and the firepower was not the same, but it was not so passive.

The zombie tide back then did not have a specific target at all, and the living corpses just commanded the zombies to move forward, and there was no plan at all for how to move forward and from where to move forward. Sometimes a large group of zombies will huddle together to create obstacles, and sometimes the zombies from the east will cross the entire battle line and run stupidly to the west.

But this time it's different, in addition to the zombies as always seeing death as home, it seems that there is something more, which should be called discipline. In addition to constantly exerting pressure on the defensive positions in front of the valley, they kept spreading out to the two flanks, as if there was also a person in command behind them, and this person was not too stupid.

In this case, the originally planned reserves had to be brought into play in advance, and the projected intensity of combat and ammunition consumption increased exponentially. If you go down hard, even if the ammunition is enough, the soldiers will not be able to bear it.

"Don't ask me about everything, you are the commander of the war, you know how to fight, let go and do it, don't have any worries. Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot provide any advice on military operations, but I can support you, and I will be responsible for the personnel, equipment, and materials.

Minister Xu, go with me to Secretary General Lan and suggest that he immediately issue a second wave of conscription orders, and all displaced people who meet the conditions for joining the army will be enlisted in the army. In addition, the material reserves of Jinmen Port should also be shipped, and they must arrive within two days! ”

Gao Tian waved his hand, although his face was not very good-looking, but he did not get angry or blame anyone because of the unfavorable situation on the front line. However, he gave up his command very generously, handed over professional matters to professional people, put down his body, and did logistics support work in a down-to-earth manner.

"Order! The first-line artillery was immediately transferred to the second line, and the first-line troops retreated to Juyong Pass at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the armored units and air force were ready to cover along the way. Commanders at all levels are strictly ordered not to allow the occurrence of routs, and whoever is in chaos will be punished, and will not be tolerated! ”

With Gao Tianyi's authorization, Pan Wenxiang gritted his teeth, took over all the command, and began to prepare for retreat. Speaking of this otaku and pseudo-military fan in the old world, after ten years of training, there have indeed been earth-shaking changes, at least in terms of military command, like a general.

"Is the plane ready?" It's a pity that he didn't hear what Gao Tianyi and Xu Jing were whispering after getting into the carriage, otherwise he would have to draw a gun and shoot immediately.

Tai Nima is not a thing, the front-line soldiers, including most of the people in the alliance, are desperately trying their best to resist the zombie tide, but as the top leader of the alliance, they are planning how to escape!

"You're all set, now are you going?" Not to mention that Pan Wenxiang couldn't think of it, even Xu Jing was a little surprised. This is just the beginning of the fight, even if it is a little passive, it does not damage the vitality at all, and the personnel and ammunition reserves are enough to hold on for a while, so there is no need to go in such a hurry.

"This zombie wave is different from the past, and I have a bad feeling...... You go and notify all the people you can take with you, so that they are ready to pack up and listen to orders. There is also an airplane, be sure to ensure safety, find someone to take care of it!

In addition, Changchun was informed that as long as we flew there together, we would start acting immediately, and we must control the army, otherwise we might not be able to talk and count even if we went. That's the last way, don't be sloppy! ”

Gao Tianyi didn't want to run right away, but there was uneasiness in his heart. I can't say why, but it's always right to be prepared. Not only did he have to run, but he also had to take his cronies with him, and he had to carry out a military coup in Changchun, relying on agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get rid of the top military officials who he didn't trust in one fell swoop.

"Okay, I understand......" Xu Jing nodded when she heard this, knocked on the roof of the carriage and prepared to get off.

"Don't put the work on hold here, as long as you find a living corpse, there is still hope to win, and I am reluctant to give up until I have to!" But Gao Tianyi still has something to say, and it is from the bottom of his heart.

If there is anyone who is least willing to see failure, he must be counted among them. After enduring it for so many years, and taking such a big risk, it was not easy to get the power in hand, how can I bear to give up so easily, if there is a glimmer of hope, I have to insist!

"Brother Tian, wait for now...... I have just received a notification from the Ministry of the Interior that there have been widespread riots in the self-management zone. A large number of displaced people stormed the checkpoint leading to the red zone, and there was a brief shootout between the two sides, and now both checkpoints have been lost! ”

Xu Jing nodded in understanding, just opened the car door but stopped, one hand covered the headset and listened carefully, his expression became more and more solemn, and finally sat back and repeated the news he heard through the walkie-talkie.

“…… Close the door first and let me think! Hearing the news, Gao Tianyi leaned on his seat and stared out of the window for a long time before speaking, feeling weak. The most fearful, unpredictable and difficult thing to prevent finally happened, civil unrest!

Compared with the unfavorable fighting at the front, the riots in the rear were even more deadly. Once this news spreads, it will directly affect the will of the officers and men on the front line to fight, and it is now impossible to completely block the news.

"How's the rest of the safe zones going?" Seeing Xu Jing constantly whispering to his subordinates on the walkie-talkie, his expression was also very anxious, Gao Tianyi tried to ask.

"There were small riots in both Districts 5 and 4, with small groups of displaced people looting the Great Ocean Road market...... We don't have enough manpower, can we transfer some troops from the airport? ”

The news Xu Jing received was really not good, in addition to the self-management area, the two adjacent security zones also had a similar situation, but the scale was not so large. However, it is only a matter of time, and if such riots are not suppressed in time, they will spread faster than forest fires.

"It's useless, it's too late...... Go, immediately go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, take the child in an armored car to the airport! Gao Tianyi understood what Xu Jing meant, but after thinking about it, he could only shake his head.

In order to resist the super-large-scale zombie inundation, the military has sent out all its troops, most of them are concentrated on the northern front, and some are concentrated on the western front, leaving only one company of regular army and two companies of reserve in the base and security area, and one company has been transferred to the Nanyuan Airport guard.

In the face of nearly 100,000 displaced people, 100 more soldiers and 100 less soldiers will not work at all. Small-scale riots can also be suppressed by gunfire, but once they are large, even heavy machine-gun fire will not help. The question is who dares to give this order, and who dares to carry it out.

It's over, it's over, and the riots will soon sweep through all the safe zones, then storm the interior of the base, and eventually cause the front line to collapse. I could only watch the huge alliance gradually collapse like a castle of sand, but I was helpless.

Now we can only take advantage of the fact that the situation is not completely out of control and quickly evacuate this powder keg, otherwise it will be too late to leave when a large number of displaced people flock to the airport in the south.

I have to say that Gao Tianyi's choice was extremely correct, just when the armored convoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs drove out of the South Third Ring Road, there was already thick smoke and chickens and dogs jumping in the security zone in the south of the city.

Everywhere there was a flow of people dragging their families and carrying large bags and small bags, and a few gunshots would burst out from time to time. Most of them are fleeing south, while a few are taking advantage of the fire. The management office was like a lonely island, with closed gates and walls full of black muzzles, and anyone who dared to approach it would be shot.
