Chapter 44: Ambush Battle!
[Daily Mission (Limited Time): Intercept the food convoy that was transported from Vault 12988 to Wolf Town.] Bonus: 50 science points. 】
"It's a mission related to Wolf Town!"
Zhao Yu showed his joy, the daily task was refreshed, and it was related to Wild Wolf Town, which was equivalent to killing two birds with one stone, which could not only weaken the power of Wild Wolf Town, but also obtain the rewards of daily tasks.
I just don't know how much defense this grain convoy has.
Zhao Yu thought about it, this kind of thing is still left to professional people, and he quickly came to the three commanders in a hurry, informed the task, and asked if there was a plan.
"Report to the sir, knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, I need to send out the reconnaissance team to find out the strength of the enemy......"
The three commanders are all only captains, and their abilities are limited, so they can't give advice when intelligence is insufficient.
Zhao Yu was a little hesitant, he only had three combat squads and a guard squadron under his command.
At present, in the base, there are 15 people in three combat teams and 30 people in the guard squadron, all of which are mobilized soldiers.
If he brought them all, there would only be 45 people, and he might not be able to win, and besides, with 30 people in the guard squadron, he also felt a little ineffective in command.
The ambush battle last time completely destroyed Zhao Yu's self-confidence.
I glanced at the technology points, and it happened to be exactly 20 points.
"20 points, be able to train a commander ......"
Zhao Yu hesitated, 20 science and technology points are equivalent to 20 mobilized soldiers, or four special operations personnel.
"Let's take a look!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, consumed 20 science and technology points for training, and waited for another five minutes, and the commander walked out of the training camp.
Zhao Yu immediately informed him of his current task and asked Commander Shi if he had any ideas.
"Report sir, their purpose this time is to transport grain, not an ambush, so there will definitely not be a lot of manpower with them......
"According to the division of forces around Wild Wolf Town, they will definitely not worry too much about the safety of the grain transportation team this time......
The commander was very powerful, and after looking at the hand-drawn map, he quickly gave a conclusion and gave a battle plan.
It's just that the equipment mentioned in it made Zhao Yu a little hesitant.
"Do you have to have a bazooka?"
He had a bazooka, but no ammunition, so it was equivalent to nothing.
The equipment requirements given by the commander were at least six rocket launchers and twelve rockets.
"Without the bazookas, the success rate of this operation would have been only 69.33 percent...... "Commander Commander said without humility or arrogance.
"And if anything?"
“81.65%”
Zhao Yu touched his chin, he didn't know how this winning rate was obtained, but he could give it a try.
Then, he had a box of pistol bullets taken to the arsenal for a wave of recycling.
The recycling result was the same as he thought, with a loss of 20%, but fortunately, it was changed from a finished product to a raw material.
After glancing at the resource requirements for exchanging rockets, I found that such a box of bullets had almost piled up the progress to about 90%.
"Look at it this way, a dozen boxes of bullets are enough!"
Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the rocket gap was too big, but it could be used anyway.
It's just that the number of bullets consumed is a bit large, one box of bullets has 1,500 rounds, and a dozen boxes are close to 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
Fortunately, the last time he went to Black Wind Village, he brought back tens of thousands of bullets, which was enough for the time being.
There is a loss in recycling, and it is not a cost-effective deal under normal circumstances, but now, Zhao Yu can't care about anything else.
Less leaning.
Twelve rockets eject the furnace.
Next to them, there are also twelve bazookas.
On the other side, the commander of the chief has also prepared all the weapons and ordnance, and is ready to set off at any time.
"Report sir, bazookas can only carry six ......"
"Hmmm??!"
Zhao Yu was stunned, is this too much?
"The vehicle has a limited load, and carrying six more rocket launchers will reduce the success rate of this combat operation...... "Commander Commander said.
Zhao Yu showed a relieved expression on his face, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Professional, just do what you said, bring six bazookas!" ”
Soon, under the arrangement of the commander of the chief, the three combat teams each got into a car and set off first.
Immediately afterwards, a temporary team of five mobilized soldiers escorted Zhao Yu away.
On the base side, there are 25 mobilized guards left to continue to protect the base.
The commander of the chief has a maximum command of 20 people, so the manpower he carries is limited, and the one mobilized soldier who stays more is handed over to Zhao Yu to command.
Zhao Yu didn't have anything to command, he followed more people, and he just helped with chores.
With the dispatch of the commander of the chief, Zhao Yu was much easier, and many things did not need him to do.
The only thing he had to do was that the commander would tell him at a certain time what order was to be given.
Then he did as the commander said.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Zhao Yu also gave the commander commander of the chief an authorization in advance, and in special circumstances, he could deal directly without greeting him.
For example, if the last ambush happens again, there will be a commander who directly organizes a counterattack.
Or, at the command of the commander, none of them could be ambushed.
Just like now, Zhao Yu only has two cars with him.
The assault team and reconnaissance team that had gone ahead had long since disappeared, and it was obvious that they had already done what they had done according to the commander's instructions.
An hour later, the convoy stopped in a depression.
"Sir, please order the flames to be turned off and stand by......"
"Flameout!"
"Sir, please give the order for the reconnaissance team to reconnoiter the enemy's movements......"
"Reconnaissance Team ......"
Zhao Yu was also enjoying it, and he would ask the reason for every step of the commander's action.
In this way, he gained a lot of experience, which can be regarded as an indirect improvement of his military literacy.
Moments later, the commander came to report the situation.
"Report, enemy movements have been detected......"
"The enemy has a total of 211 men, of which 151 are non-combatants and 60 are combatants......"
After a long introduction, Zhao Yu can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of the enemy this time.
This time, more than 50 vehicles were responsible for transporting food and useful resources from the shelters.
Most of them are residents of Wolf Town, and a small number are armed men.
"Report to the chief, in this operation, I suggest that the threat can be lifted......"
It was rare that Shi Chang took the initiative to make a suggestion, which made Zhao Yu a little surprised, and hurriedly asked the reason.
"Sir, if we only plunder once, then we can destroy all the enemies ......"
"But we will attack Wolf Town in the future, and it will only backfire to kill these non-combatants rashly......"
Zhao Yu understood what he meant.
The ruling class of Wolf Town is not the same as the residents of Wolf Town.
The ruling class is the armed forces, about three or five hundred people.
Destroy them, and the inhabitants of Wolf Town will not rebel, nor will they have such a high level of loyalty.
But if the residents of Wild Wolf Town are also killed this time, then when they officially attack Wild Wolf Town, it is likely to force the other party to all soldiers.
There are more than 5,000 people in Wild Wolf Town, and they have been to the old, weak, sick and disabled, and I am afraid that there are at least three or four thousand people who can carry guns, so the battle will be too difficult.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and said, "Then remove the threat, let the civilians go, and kill all the ...... who have guns and threats."
"Wait!"
Seeing that Shi Chang was standing still, Zhao Yu understood that he was passing on the order, and hurriedly added: "If you have the opportunity, tell those civilians that this time is to avenge the last ambush, let them tell Li Yang, wash their necks, and wait for me to kill him!" ”
"Yes, sir!!"
Next, Zhao Yu and the others all got out of the car, hid the car in the woods, covered it with camouflage cloth, and then all walked forward.
After walking for more than half an hour, I arrived at my destination, which was a hillside.
The commander was very busy, going back and forth to arrange tasks for the other three commanders.
There were fewer and fewer people around Zhao Yu, and in the end, there was only one mobilized soldier left, and even the commander was gone.
Just as Zhao Yu was thinking about how this battle would be fought, there was a slight tremor on the ground.
Here it comes!!
In the distance, a convoy slowly approached this direction, starting with an off-road vehicle with welded armor and several gunmen sitting on it.
The first car was some distance away from the group behind, and the gunman in the car was holding a telescope and looking to the sides of the road.
Zhao Yu crouched on the hillside, with branches in front of him as a shield, observing the situation on the road through the gap.
When he noticed that someone was looking this way, he quickly lowered his head.
"Huhu~~!"
Soon, the car with the head drove over from this side and did not find Zhao Yu.
At this moment, where the other soldiers were ambushed, Zhao Yu didn't know.
Waiting for the head car to leave, Zhao Yu raised his head slightly and continued to observe.
He found that every few trucks in the convoy were mixed with an armed vehicle.
This made Zhao Yu frown.
The enemies are too scattered!
If he had enough manpower, it would be easier to spread it out like this.
But he doesn't have enough manpower!
Zhao Yu couldn't help but be a little worried, he didn't know if the commander was reliable.
This was the first battle in which a commander had participated, and if he failed, he would go back without saying a word and move the base directly.
As for revenge, I'll talk about it later when I have the chance.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yu didn't think about how the commander should fight.
"Huhu~~!"
A car passed by the road in front of them, and the guards in the middle seemed to be more lazy than the first car, not only did they not look around cautiously, but some of them even played poker in the car.
Zhao Yu was also secretly observing the equipment of these armed men, who basically carried rifles on their backs, and occasionally an armed car with a vehicle-mounted machine gun.
In addition, Zhao Yu also found his car, which was an electric off-road vehicle that was abandoned by an ambush before.
After a while, twenty or thirty cars drove by, which made Zhao Yu a little dazed.
It is not known when the commander will make a move.
"Bang~!"
Just as he was thinking this, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out in front of him.
"What's going on!"
The people in the convoy suddenly shouted.
"Stop!"
A man who seemed to be the leader hurriedly stopped the convoy and picked up the walkie-talkie to ask.
The distance was too far for Zhao Yu to hear what the man had heard.
It was only after a while that I heard the leader shout a few words.
Immediately afterward, several armed vehicles in the team rushed forward with the gunners.
This made Zhao Yu a little surprised.
How did Commander Shi do it?!
The enemy was scattered and not in their favor, but now they began to gather on their own initiative.
Zhao Yu also probably understood that the main battlefield should be in front of the convoy.
Not long after the armed car left, there was a fierce burst of gunfire from the east hitchhiker.
Zhao Yu heard the prestige, it was not the direction of the front of the car, but the tail of the team.
"Sound from east to west?!"
Zhao Yu was a little stunned.
At this moment, the civilians who were originally guarding the goods were very flustered, some got out of the car and looked behind, and some curled up in the car and shivered.
But no one dared to run away, and they all stayed honestly next to the car they were responsible for.
"Boom~!"
At this moment, several explosions were heard from the direction of the western front of the car.
"Rockets!"
It was loud, and there was a slight difference between the explosions, which seemed to be a chain reaction after the rocket detonated the car.
The civilians on the road who had originally gotten out of the car to watch were all startled when they saw this, several people were so frightened that they squatted on the ground, and some hurriedly got into the car.
This made Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief, these civilians will not carry guns when danger comes, which means that the aftermath work will be easier to do.
"Bang~!"
Immediately after, several more gunshots rang out, but they were different from ordinary gunfires, sniper rifles.
Zhao Yu looked through the gap, looking at the east for a while, and the west for a while, a little anxious, not knowing how the battle was going.
At the moment, he was in an awkward position, just in the middle of the convoy, with the front and rear of the car in sight, obscured by obstacles.
"Dead~~!"
"All dead~~!"
I don't know what was going on, but someone suddenly shouted, and several people ran towards the woods.
As people fled, more and more jumped out of their cars and swarmed into the woods.
At the moment, no one dares to drive away.
Because except for the main road, the roads on both sides are basically impossible to drive.
And now there is a battle between the front and back of the car, and driving rashly is an act of looking for death.
Where Zhao Yu was hiding, several civilians also ran over.
When they climbed the dirt slope and saw Zhao Yu, they were all frightened and frozen, and at the same time, they reflexively raised their hands high.
"Don't shoot, we don't have a weapon......"
"Don't Shoot......"
Several people begged for mercy.
Zhao Yu was a little confused about what to do with these people at the moment.
Other civilians who were still running in this direction saw the abnormality of several people, and quickly changed directions, and even several people ran back to the road and went to the woods on the other side.
Zhao Yu slowly got up with a rifle, and the mobilized soldiers around him were still meticulously lying on the ground.
"Get up and check if they have any weapons!"
"Yes, sir!"
Only then did the mobilizers get up and check the civilians in front of them one by one.
These people had seen his face, and Zhao Yu thought about whether to kill it, but it didn't seem to make much sense.
While he was struggling, he suddenly noticed that the gunfire seemed to have stopped.
Finished fighting?!
It was only then that Zhao Yu finally saw Commander Shi Chang again, and he was running along the road towards this direction at the moment.
With such a swaggering action, it seems that the fight is really over?!
"Report to the sir, the mission is complete, a total of 71 people killed, 51 captured, all threats have been removed, please instruct ......"
"The armed men are all dead?!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing this, several civilians in front of them were even more frightened, and looked at Zhao Yu with pleading expressions.
"Send them to the other captives......"
Zhao Yu said casually, and then left the hillside and walked towards the convoy.
Coming to the road, he looked east and west.
In the direction of the front of the car to the west, you can see smoke billowing from the sky in the distance, as if the vehicle was still burning after the explosion.
In the direction of the rear of the car in the east, there was no such movement, and I could only see many people crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands, and a few people around were watching.
Zhao Yu took out the binoculars and found that the five people in the assault group were all intact in the direction of the rear of the car.
Only then did he react, looked back at the commander, and asked, "What about our people?" Are there any casualties? ”
"Nope!"
"No?!"
Zhao Yu was shocked, there are sixty enemy armed men, and there are only twenty people on their side, so they all won?!
"How did you do that?!"
After explaining, Zhao Yu understood how this battle was fought.
A roadblock was set up on the road ahead, and scouts in ambush fired rocket launchers as armed men rushed to help.
The first salvo directly blew up six vehicles and killed more than 20 people, including the leader of the opposing side.
Immediately afterward, the snipers fired at the remaining men, and those who tried to storm into the woods were killed by other mobilizers who were lying in ambush.
According to the plan, the front side of the car will start first, and then the rear side will do it, but the distance between the two sides is too far to transmit information, so the commander ordered in advance to launch a surprise attack three minutes after the convoy stopped.
There were almost a dozen armed men in the tail of the car, all of whom were killed by five assaulters and one sniper.
"That's too easy, isn't it?!"
Zhao Yu was a little stunned, more than 20 people, just won the battle?!
Immediately afterwards, he was a little happy, and felt that it was indeed cost-effective to train the commander.
At the very least, he doesn't have the ability to command.
Soon, after some counting, dozens of guns, several bullets, and several machine guns were seized.
In addition to this, there were more than forty wagons of goods, as well as more than fifty prisoners.
"Withdraw!"
After thinking about it briefly, Zhao Yu decided to take all these goods with him.
Because there is still a distance of more than ten kilometers from here to Wild Wolf Town, it takes at least four or five hours to walk without a car.
So, by the time the escaped civilians returned to Wolf Town, it would be five or six hours before a new enemy arrived.
These civilians were obedient, and according to Zhao Yu's instructions, they turned the car around and drove again, this time back to the base.
When Zhao Yu got back into the car, looking at the long queue in front and behind, he still felt like he was in a dream.
"It's too easy......"
However, he also understood that this was an ambush war, and it was not so easy for the two armies to fight normally.
Thinking about the last time I was ambushed, this big win doesn't seem like a big deal.
After all, he was almost wiped out last time.
As before, when passing through the misguided section, Zhao Yu left two mobilized soldiers to be responsible for the aftermath to prevent being tracked.
On the next road, Zhao Yu was a little apprehensive, worried about being caught up by the enemy, and looked back from time to time.
Although he knew in his heart that it would be a few hours before the other party knew that their goods had been robbed, he was still nervous.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly and I returned to the base safely.
After a short rest, Zhao Yu arranged for more than fifty prisoners to move the goods from dozens of cars and stack them in an empty building next door.
"Are they going to kill us?"
"I don't know ......"
"These people look like people with big powers......"
"They're all in military uniforms......
More than fifty captives gathered together and exchanged nervously.
Just then, a soldier walked towards them.
"All of them, line up, get food!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Giving them food means that they will not be killed for the time being.
When the group lined up in a long line and walked towards the opening of the meal, they were shocked.
"White rice!"
"And the dishes!!"
The people at the front of the line had their eyes wide open, and they drooled at the fragrant food in the cauldron.
"Sir, is this for us to eat?!" Someone asked incredulously.
Zhao Yu was standing next to the meal at this moment, and asked casually, "Can't you eat these in Wild Wolf Town?" ”
Several people looked at each other, "The one we eat the most on weekdays is naan......"
"It's dry, it's hard, and it smells rancid......"
"Sir, is this really for us?!"
Someone asked nervously.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, "Everyone has it, let's take a bowl and a plate to eat." ”
On the way back, he was wondering what to do with the captives.
You can't put it in it, at least not until you hit Wolf Town.
So they can only raise it first, and it just so happens that they need to do some chores.
So, after Zhao Yu obtained the 50 technology points rewarded by the daily mission, he spent 25 technology points and trained 5 cooking soldiers very luxuriously.
Although there are few cooking soldiers, they are good at making big pot rice, and they can easily make enough food for 100 people.
Soon, the thin man at the head of the row received rice, a bowl of porridge, a fast food plate with a serving of rice and three dishes.
The thin man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and before he could leave, he hurriedly took a sip of porridge.
"How?!"
"No sand!" The thin man wept with joy and said with tears streaming down his face.
"Hurry up, get out of the way, it's me, it's me!" The man in second place said hurriedly.
Zhao Yu pointed to the open space where there were soldiers to take care of, and said to the thin man: "Don't block here, go over there to eat!" ”
Judging by the reactions of these people, their days in Wolf Town are not easy either.
Zhao Yu took the opportunity to ask some about Wild Wolf Town.
"You produce guns?!"
Zhao Yu was a little shocked, he didn't expect that there was an industry that produced guns in Wild Wolf Town.
"Not a full-fledged gun, only a barrel ......"
A man who looked a little clever scratched his head and said, "The barrel we got will be pulled to Black Rock City to assemble ......."
Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, and then understood the situation.
The weapons production line must be from Blackstone City, but if it is produced in the city, it is necessary to pay wages, and there are quite a few of them.
Conversely, if you break these weapons into parts and outsource them to these towns, the price will be much lower.
According to these people's descriptions, they worked on a voluntary basis, a voluntary labor that allowed them to stay in the town, working at least 16 hours a day, not only without pay, but also with only two meals and sand mixed in the porridge.
"Why don't you leave?!" Zhao Yu asked a little puzzled.
"Leave ......" The thin man was a little dazed, as if he had never thought about this problem.
At first, Zhao Yu was still a little worried, afraid that these captives would mutiny.
But after a brief exchange, he found that his worries were a little too much.
The captives were all thin, all of them looked malnourished, and their eyes were full of numbness, as if they had long lost the idea of resisting.
"Sir, when are we going to work?!"
The thin man had eaten a full meal and was a little eager to get to work.
Zhao Yu turned his head and glanced at the captives, who basically received the food, and finished the meal in three or two minutes.
It tastes like a gobble, as if I'm afraid that someone will snatch it away if I eat slowly.
This saved Zhao Yu from things.
He thought about it for a moment and ordered some people to wash off the bowls and plates they had eaten.
Then he took the rest of the people to the next building.
There were three buildings next door, one for supplies, one for soldiers, and one empty.
Zhao Yu took them to the empty building and asked them to clean up the top floor.
He then drove all the captives to the top floor to rest, and sent several mobilizers to guard them.
After arranging these, Zhao Yu stayed in the base but fell into deep thought.
There is no way to bring the captive back, unless he doesn't want the supplies.
As far as he knew, the shelter had been largely emptied, and except for some industrial equipment, everything that could be moved and had value was here.
Obviously, the Wolf Town side didn't intend to occupy the shelter, and just wanted to pull things away.
However, judging from the fact that they did not destroy the indoor cultivation equipment, they also planned to take over this property and treat it as a piece of fertile land.
"I'll think about it later......
Zhao Yu shook his head slightly, he felt that the most important thing at the moment was what to do with these prisoners in the base.
It doesn't seem appropriate to stay next door all the time, it's too close to the base, and if the news leaks in the future, there may be some hidden dangers.
As for killing all these captives, Zhao Yu was a little unbearable, he was not an executioner after all, nor was he a murderer.
"No, you need to plan it well......"
Zhao Yu gradually had an idea in his mind.
He intends to re-open a piece of land and expand the scope of the base.
To the east of the photovoltaic power plant is a river, which does not flow much, but meets daily needs.
"A gathering place could be built across the river to house these civilians......"
"In addition, it seems that the base is not suitable for a photovoltaic power plant......"
Zhao Yu feels that in the future, there will be more and more buildings, and it will be impossible to squeeze together with photovoltaic power plants.
The division of labor was clearer, the photovoltaic power plant was dedicated to generating electricity, and some people were left to guard it, and the base was moved outside the power plant to re-establish a military zone.
At that time, the military zone will be separated from the industrial zone and the residential zone, which can effectively prevent the leakage of the status of the base.
After all, his buildings appear out of thin air, and no one can see it in the short term, and if it is like this in the long term, there are indeed some hidden dangers.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu found out the map and began to plan.
After some careful consideration, he demarcated an area 500 meters north of the photovoltaic power plant to use as his military base.
To the east of the photovoltaic power plant, a residential area is drawn.
The place outside the east gate was very large, the east and north positions were occupied by Meng Xian's camp, and the south side was still vacant, just in time to be developed to house these prisoners.
It just so happened that there were 10 engineers in his base who had nothing to do, and they could command these civilians to build infrastructure.
"If you want to build a gathering place, you have to come up with a name that doesn't stand out from the crowd and doesn't get suspicious......
"What's the name?!"
Zhao Yu had the most headache to name it, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he simply didn't think about it, and planned to wait for the gathering place to be built.
"Then arrange for these people to work first, so that we can continue to expand the guard......"
Now there are a total of 30 mobilized soldiers, all of whom are counted in the guard.
According to the plan, he needs to divide the guard into three waves, one to guard residential areas, one wave to guard photovoltaic power plants, and one wave to guard military bases.
But fortunately, the mobilization of soldiers is not expensive, one is only 1 science and technology point, Zhao Yu has just harvested a batch of grain, even if a thousand people can afford it.
There is too much food in the shelter to feed a thousand people for a year, which is really too much to put down.
This night, Zhao Yu thought for a long time, about the base, about the residential area and the industrial area, and about the future farm.
In addition to this, he also pondered the war with Wolf Town, and whether the Black Rock City side would intervene.
In a bunch of untidy thoughts, Zhao Yu fell asleep unconsciously.
