Chapter 821 The expedition is about to begin (happy birthday to myself)

"Beep, beep... beep, beep..." At this time, the whistle sounded, and the two groups of soldiers stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted, raised their guns, and fired... They repeated this set of actions three times, and then lit the fire. The ceremony

After that, the coachmen on both sides were escorted back to their bases by soldiers.

"Chief of Staff, isn't it appropriate to take them to the zombie-controlled area?" Seeing the coachmen gradually walking away, Yang Ming, the leader of the 8th regiment, immediately approached Zhang Ke and raised objections to the plan that had just been revised last night.

Since the number of drivers is still sufficient, everyone agreed that the mission can continue. In this way, the incident of the zombie attack on the transport team can be mixed with the cleanup operation report, and it will appear less obtrusive with a little polish. After all, in zombie control

Attacks are common in the district, and casualties are inevitable.

But seeing the performance of the two groups of coachmen at the memorial ceremony, Yang Ming, who had originally strongly advocated continuing to go south, immediately started to beat the drum in his heart. Yes, it is necessary to continue to perform the mission to cover up the mistakes of his battalion commander, but to ensure the safety of the entire regiment's officers and soldiers

more important.

The coachmen almost got into a fight under the nose of the army. After crossing the Huaihe River, the combat troops had to deploy immediately. Who has so many troops to be used to break up the fight 24 hours a day? What if the logistics convoys started fighting with each other first?

The combat troops in front must not starve to death!

"Changfeng and the coachmen from Zhongyi Company will follow you, and let the coachmen from Ping An Company follow me. You will lead the first and third battalions, and leave the second battalion to me. But Battalion Commander Jiang will not go with the team, let him lead a

Ban is in charge of communications at the airport."

Regarding the issue of coachmen, Zhang Ke knows more clearly and deeply than Yang Ming. As long as the two groups are not brought together, nothing will happen. To put it bluntly, the fight between coachmen only exists at the company level.

It will not rise to the level where even the military is involved.

In addition, this year's operation to clean up zombie-controlled areas is different from previous years. No one can stop it unless the conditions are completely unqualified. It is related to the planning of the General Staff Headquarters for the past six months, and a bunch of senior officials are waiting to hear the results of their field inspections.

Woolen cloth.

"Okay, let's move the guard company, engineer company and heavy firepower company to the second battalion, or the communications company..." Yang Ming thought that separating the coachmen would be a solution, but he began to worry about Zhang Ke's safety.

.

If this young deputy chief of staff, who is likely to be the successor to the future Minister of Armed Forces, suffers a loss in the 8th Regiment, when he comes to power in the future, besides retiring quickly, I may not get any good results.

"Captain Yang, you have assigned me all the direct teams of the regiment. How can the first and third battalions use firepower to deal with the large number of zombies? Don't forget, there are still blue devils without living zombies. Those things are sometimes more difficult to deal with. Don't worry.

, I am not a stick in the office. After crossing the river, I will only be responsible for the flanks in the main direction of attack. I will not rush forward rashly!"

Zhang Ke smiled and patted Commander Yang's arm, indicating that he shouldn't be so nervous. When it comes to fighting zombies, even your brigade commander Wang Ying'an must be considered a junior. When I followed Grandpa Hong to shoot zombies with a steel crossbow, you were still

Hidden in the ruins is a constant state of panic!

"Lao Yang, the chief of staff is a veteran who participated in the first battle to defend the capital, so you should stop giving random orders. Let's do this. Our squadron has allocated a light infantry fighting vehicle for the chief of staff to use as a command vehicle. Its

The radio has more power!”

The air force squadron commander on the side heard the hint of pride in Zhang Ke's words, and immediately understood it, and gave him a small pat. But he couldn't just talk to the leader, he had to come up with something practical. And it couldn't be said to guarantee safety.

Use it, let’s say it’s a communication hub, it’s all for work, listen, who would have the heart to refuse!

"We can't relax here at the airport. I will immediately report to the ministry when I get back. The defense of the airport still needs to be strengthened, especially armored vehicles. It is difficult to deal with a large group of zombie attacks just relying on the light firepower of the soldiers. The further south you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

, no one has been there for more than ten years!"

Zhang Ke was not stingy about reciprocating the kindness and immediately responded to the Air Force's kindness. In fact, it was not all for repayment. It was one thing to sit in the office and read various reports on weekdays, and it was another thing to go to the front line in person.

Something happened.

The defense of Minggang Airport is still a bit weak, not because of the lack of people but also because of the lack of heavy weapons, especially the infantry fighting vehicles with strong maneuverability and fierce firepower. There are too few self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and self-propelled rocket launchers. They only rely on the air force's exclusive light infantry fighting vehicles.

Equipped with a small 30mm matchstick and a coaxial machine gun, you will have to catch a large zombie wave.

Moreover, the air force and the army are different. The personnel and equipment they need to protect are very valuable. The airport is full of aircraft, fuel, weapons, ammunition and luggage. Once it is lost, the losses will be very heavy, and it must be strengthened as soon as possible.

"Oh, thank you Chief of Staff for coming down for a walk, otherwise it would be useless for us to cry every day. It doesn't take much. If you can transfer an armored battalion and cooperate with our transport plane, it's easy to bring tens of thousands of zombies. Why are blue devils not blue?

Damn it, kill them all!"

This promise almost made the squadron leader cry. The same report has been filed for more than two months and nothing has come out. Although the deputy chief of staff just said it, as long as he can actually go to the ministry to respond, the effect will definitely be different.

Those bureaucrats sitting in the office are not afraid of reporting every day from below, nor are they afraid of overstepping reactions. They all follow the procedures, and there is nothing wrong with them. But they are afraid of being called on by their superiors. As long as they are called on, all the procedures have to be omitted, and it is really impossible to achieve something special.

Things need to be done as quickly as possible.

"Chief of Staff, what should I do if I meet people from the south after crossing the Huaihe River?" Unlike the Air Force, Yang Ming also wanted to open his mouth to ask for equipment, but he couldn't. He also had a brigade commander above him, so even if he was poor, he still had to travel.

It's really not his fault to show off, and sometimes it's wrong to be too positive.

But guarding a high-ranking official who could reach the sky and return empty-handed would be a problem if asked by the brigade commander. So he changed the topic, instead of crying about poverty, he discussed the general strategic direction.

Regarding the topic of the alliance's large-scale march south, it is said to be a top secret at the top, and it will definitely not be announced to the public until there is a final decision. But as an active-duty officer, it is impossible not to feel this kind of thing at all. There are only so many troops in total, and they will be transferred

Whoever was transferred couldn't see any clues.

"According to reports from the intelligence department, no organized troops from Wuhan have been found crossing the Yangtze River in the past four years, and we have never heard of local civil organizations exploring north. There should be no major surprises in this regard.

If you find out, you must exercise restraint, notify me immediately, and do not act without authorization. If forced to do so, you can fight back to a limited extent... Unless you are absolutely sure of encirclement and annihilation, do not engage in head-on conflict!"

Zhang Ke doesn't dare to talk nonsense about this issue, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You can't always ask yourself for instructions first. The necessary command power must still be delegated. However, there is an issue of degree, which requires the commander to act on the spot.

Yes, this is also the difference between experienced and inexperienced.

"Hey, I understand, no one alive, no evidence..." Yang Ming is relatively experienced. After listening to Zhang Ke's answer, he already has a clearer understanding of the scale of this southward campaign.

, and at the same time, I also fully understood the leader’s intention.

The translation of Zhang Ke means that you can catch or beat, but you must wipe your butt clean. In fact, this kind of small-scale conflict occurs every year, not only with the Southeast Alliance, but also with the Southwest Alliance and the Redeemers, from time to time.

There will be a little friction.

The Ministry of Armed Forces and the coalition government have two attitudes toward such minor frictions. Externally, they must regret and regret again and again, condemn and condemn again, and put all the blame on the other party's head, and then let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs waffle and argue.

No one mentioned it anymore.

Internally, the requirements are more specific. Officers above the battalion will regularly go to the base in the north of the city to receive special training from the Air Service Regiment. In addition to counter-infiltration, the content also includes how to use the terrain, climate, and equipment advantages in small-scale conflicts to gain the upper hand and gain the upper hand.

Wipe clean.

To sum it up in one sentence, you can fight or capture. As long as you win and do not leave any real evidence to the opponent, the commander will be considered a meritorious service. On the contrary, no matter how wronged you are or how unreasonable the opponent is, it is all your fault. Who let you
