Chapter 1177 A battle of wits and courage

After listening for about half an hour, although Niu Dafu's narrative ability was not very strong and some details were very incoherent, Zhang Tao still generally understood it, and his face also became solemn. But after all, he understood, but he still didn't understand.

Can't do it.

At this time, he remembered Hong Tao's prophecy again. If he could always pay attention to the elimination of zombie-controlled areas, even if he only used manpower, he would be able to achieve great results in ten consecutive years. Even if all the zombies could not be cleared out, large-scale reduction would be possible.

Quantity is not a waste of effort.

If we can cooperate with the East Asia Alliance and the Southwest Alliance, and everyone has the ability to contribute, we might really be able to wipe out all the zombies in the southeastern coastal areas.

Even if they don't kill them all and lead them to the beach to be washed away by the tide, it is better than watching the living zombies evolve more and more cleverly and attack humans with zombie waves from time to time.

But the only one in the world who has no regrets is taking medicine. When the decision was made to stop large-scale clearing of zombie-controlled areas, stockpile weapons, and train soldiers, as one of the military leaders, he also voted in favor.

The reason is very simple. Everyone feels that zombies no longer pose much of a threat. The main conflict hindering the development of the East Asia Alliance has shifted from zombies to humans. How to annex and defeat other survivor organizations and obtain more populations and resources is the responsibility of the management.

concerned.

In other words, what everyone is concerned about is how to gain greater power. Hong Tao is right, the alliance management has changed, from survivors who were struggling to survive to those in power who take everything.

The location has changed, the things on my mind have also changed, and the path I take is naturally different.

This is not a problem of one person, it is a common problem of the entire management, including myself. If anyone had spoken against the situation at that time, not only would it not have been able to serve as a reminder, but it would have become an outlier, and everyone would have beaten him up and then quickly eliminated him.

A bloody example is right in front of us. After Hong Tao returned, he raised similar questions many times, pointed the finger at the league management, and tried to change the status quo through various methods.

The result? Even his closest friends chose to betray him at the critical moment. Yes, it was betrayal. What Gao Tianyi did may not be clear at the time, but it is no longer a secret.

Jiao Qiao, Lin Na's resignation, Randy, Lu Ye and Jiangnan's hesitation were betrayals. They all felt that changing according to Hong Tao's way would greatly harm their own interests, and would rather watch Gao Tianyi and Hong Tao fight to the death and try to take advantage of it.

It was a gain, but it all turned out to be a miscalculation.

Of course, I can't completely distance myself from it. 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 outcome will definitely not be like this.

But once people get to that point, how many of them are really willing to risk their own interests for the benefit of others, for the benefit of most people, for the so-called hope and future? Maybe they will have to take risks with their family.

Little life!

At this point, most people in the alliance management are not as good as Zhou Yuan, Zhang Ke, the directors, naval officers and soldiers who dare to say no, and even not as good as the refugees in the safe zone.

"Not one, at least two... I received a reconnaissance report from the First Transport Bombing Group on the plane. The new wave of zombies that originally appeared near Dongying disappeared from where they were overnight. When they were found again

The forward has arrived at the eastern suburbs of Jinan and shows no sign of stopping and is still moving westward."

Niu Dafu certainly didn't know what Zhang Tao was thinking, let alone whether there were any problems with the previous policies. He just wanted to discuss the matter and figure out the laws of the zombie wave, so as to formulate the next defense plan and strive to regain the initiative.

Some people can't just follow zombies around all day long.

"Wait a minute, you said the zombie wave in Dongying also started moving westward at night?" But Zhang Tao suddenly got up and walked to the wall with the map, picked up a pencil and looked for the specific location.

"Absolutely. The last time I saw them was before dark, and... Oh, yes, these two waves of zombies are moving together! Hiss, do you think they will join forces to break through at one point?

It's hard to say, it's hard to say. If the number is doubled, even if the Yellow River blocks it, it is not safe. Our marching speed cannot keep up. If we pull back and forth several times from both sides, find a gap and suddenly force the crossing, if we can't protect it, the entire river will be destroyed.

They’re all blocked!”

Zhang Tao's question alerted Niu Dafu, and he immediately had a new idea in his mind. The zombie wave might be playing a trick of attacking in the east and attacking in the 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 little too weird! Living zombies shouldn't have the ability to communicate at long distances, and there are no reconnaissance planes to have insight into our troop deployment and deployment." But Zhang Tao was amused. There was still a zombie wave here.

It was simply an 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 be able to escape, and they would all be dumped south of the Yellow River. It is true that we should pay attention to difficulties when facing them, but we should not be too exaggerated.

Exaggeration, it is enough to make an analysis that is most consistent with the current situation based on the actual situation.

"I heard from the people in the laboratory that living zombies will also fight with each other. The winning one will eat the loser's brain, and then it will evolve more powerfully and be able to command more zombies. What do you think of the two of them?

Is there going to be a fight between the dials? The wave in the west is too small to fight, so we have to run away, and the wave in the east is large, so we need to chase after it?"

When talking about whether living zombies have intelligence and how smart they would be, Niu Dafu couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago, and then started to think nonsense. It can't be said that it was all nonsense, because two groups of zombies appeared.

Analyzing the time and travel route, there is indeed some connection.

"...Then let's take a look first and then talk about it?" Zhang Tao wanted to refute this mythical inference, but he opened his mouth and couldn't find a reason.

"You can't just watch, the troops still have to move with them. They can only travel more than a hundred kilometers a night, and our defense focus has to be spread out to at least 200 kilometers to 300 kilometers wide... It's difficult!"

Niu Dafu also walked to the map, calculated based on his own theory for a while, and began to shake his head. No matter how hard he tried, the marching speed of the human army could not keep up with the zombies. There were no repaired railway lines along the Yellow River, so he wanted to do it anytime and anywhere.

It is basically impossible to mobilize the army.

"There should be no need to follow the tide of zombies. We can set up a rally point every two hundred kilometers and fix the troops and baggage at this point. Then set up a defense point every one hundred kilometers and send a small number of troops to defend.

In this way, no matter how the zombie wave moves, it will be faced by one of the points. If you find signs of crossing the river, you can immediately organize defenses. The two assembly points on the left and right are only a hundred kilometers apart, and they can be reached in one day by forced march."

Zhang Tao also felt that it was unwise to compete with the zombie tide for marching speed, so he changed his mind and decided not to move when the enemy moves! Select a suitable area on the north bank of the Yellow River for point defense, and then connect multiple points in a series. As long as the distance is adjusted appropriately,

If the troops are properly deployed, they should be able to support each other in a timely manner.

Although the scale of the zombie wave is unprecedented, at least on the order of millions, the river in front of us is not a vegetarian. It is three to four kilometers wide and four to five meters deep. The water flow is relatively fast. The zombies are not good at water, so they will be washed away if they enter.

, it is very difficult to cross by force.

"I currently have six infantry regiments and one heavy artillery regiment. After the second brigade is transferred, there will be nine regiments... The distance is a hundred kilometers apart. It will be easier to support each other if it is reduced to 70 kilometers. First, at each point

Deploy two battalions and leave one battalion as a reserve. With the help of the air force, it is not too difficult to delay for a day!

It's easier to do it here. There are basically steep slopes and cliffs on both sides of the bank from Xiaolangdi to SMX. It's difficult for the zombie tide to get close. You can arrange less manpower and send more observation posts. Six regiments are enough, and the three regiments of the second brigade are

Give it all to me, and the rocket launcher regiment is yours, how about it?"

Niu Dafu looked at the small black dots drawn by Zhang Tao on the map with a pencil, his eyes lit up, he counted the strength of the troops with his fingers, and then picked up a ruler to calculate the width of the defense, making a careful calculation.

The new plan just changed Zhang Tao's proposal, shortening the distance between points, and identifying key areas based on troop strength and terrain. The previous sad expression immediately improved, and the smile reappeared on his face.
