Chapter 870 The rescue begins

"Boom, boom, boom...boom, boom..." Just as he was trying to recall the time when the zombie disease first broke out, whether he had any bias in selecting personnel and development direction, and whether he could improve it, a series of muffled thunder suddenly came from the north.

There was a break at first, but soon it became one.

"Little fat man, is that artillery?" Hearing the sound, Hong Tao jumped up and quickly walked to the north side of the roof to raise his telescope for observation. At the same time, he asked Zhang Ke through the intercom if the alliance rescue operation had begun, there is no reason

Don't tell him.

"Judging from the sound, it is a 122 howitzer. It looks like it is at least the size of a heavy artillery battalion. It should be that the main force of the alliance has arrived."

Zhang Ke's people were not on the roof at all, and the sound was a bit muffled, so he was probably sleeping. It wasn't just the coachman who was busy last night, the soldiers also had to do the same work. It seemed that he was not idle either.

Catching up on sleep.

"They plan to use artillery shells to blast a way out!?" Ordinarily Hong Tao should not disturb Zhang Ke's sleep anymore. It is not easy to fall asleep at this time. But he has many questions in his heart. Hundreds of lives are at stake.

Life or death doesn't matter who is sleepy or not.

"Grandpa Hong, I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time. Minister Jiao only asked me to wait patiently and maintain the status of the troops. He didn't say a word about when the rescue would start, and by what method.

Don’t worry, Minister Zhou and Minister Lin arrived at Minggang Airport yesterday afternoon. He also knows that you are alive and will rescue you no matter what method is used."

"Well, I'll wait and see!" Hong Tao really doesn't believe that Jiao Qiao has this ability, even if Zhou Yuan and Lin Na are included. It's not that their abilities are insufficient, but that of the East Asia Alliance.

If this matter had been done seven or eight years ago, it would not have been so laborious. There were only hundreds of thousands of zombies. There were well-established armored forces on the ground and various aircraft in the sky. You name it, as long as a large number of domestically equipped

You can't run out of weapons and ammunition, you can't even throw them away, there are a lot of fuel and accessories, you can make them as you like!

You don't need to use too many troops, just a few thousand is enough. The planes in the front will drop bombs and heavy artillery to plow the ground, and the armored groups in the back will shoot. The infantry at the back only need to deal with scattered zombies. Maybe they won't even be able to touch the whole zombies, only the remaining ones.

It's time to clean up the battlefield.

But now the strength of human beings is no longer what it used to be. It is not rising but falling, a sharp decline. Let alone armored clusters and bombers, just large-caliber artillery shells. Whether they can be thrown for several hours is a question. I am afraid that it will cost the family money.

Even though they were all shaken off, they were unable to deal a devastating blow to the zombie swarm.

However, this account is only a rough calculation, and Hong Tao is not sure that the East Asia Alliance has not left any wealth. He can only hold the mentality of trusting what it has or not, and let time verify it.

"Report, Brigadier Niu called. The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 1st Reserve Brigade have completed the key cleanup of the area from the south bank of the Huaihe River to the railway line. The process has been very smooth. There has not been a large-scale zombie attack. They are currently heading towards the north side of the reservoir.

We are carrying out harassing shooting in the village, please give instructions!”

At this moment, on the high-rise building on the north bank of the Huaihe River, Jiao Qiao and a group of navy, army and air force generals were also looking southward with telescopes. An army staff officer ran over quickly and handed over a piece of paper with the intercom transcribed by the communication staff.

content.

"...Let's start as planned!" Jiao Qiao took the telegram and read it expressionlessly, then handed it over to the air force general, still holding up his telescope and looking towards the south bank.

Today's battle plan was just formulated last night. Most of the generals participating in the battle at sea, land and air had not slept much, and he was the same. He barely slept, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. The plan was so weird that everyone forgot about it.

Feeling sleepy, I concentrated on waiting to see the results.

The tasks that were originally supposed to be completed by the Army and Air Force were now handed over to a very small group. Moreover, this group had no number or origin, only a code name, Group X.

As soon as this unheard-of combat method was proposed by Zhou Yuan, it was opposed by almost all military generals. If seven or eight people can defeat hundreds of thousands of zombies with so-called high technology, then why should the army be needed in the future?

Use it? This is not just a matter of bragging, but a serious contempt for the military!

If only Zhou Yuan and Lin Na were present, and even if He Wanjun, who could in principle represent the chairman, was added, this suggestion would not be adopted by the military. But it was finally adopted because Jiao Qiao was present and he stood firmly as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

On Zhou Yuan's side.

This move not only shocked the jaws of all the generals present, but also gave rise to a strange feeling in their hearts. The Minister of Arms, who had never expressed his stance, actually clearly supported the backbone of the royalists. Could it be that the direction of the wind was about to change?

There is a hill less than 2 kilometers away from the south bank of the Huaihe River. It is called a hill, but it is actually a small hill slightly raised by several dozen meters. The command post of the 1st Reserve Brigade is built here.

Niu Dafu, who had just celebrated his 42nd birthday, was wearing a combat uniform and a steel helmet. He stood on the roof of the infantry fighting vehicle with his hands on his hips. His dark face had a serious expression and one eye looked at the rising sky in the distance through dark brown sunglasses.

The smoke was rising, and the lips were tightly closed.

Even though he was a veteran at the same time as Chu Qiu, Lin Na, and Zhou Yuan, he not only did not get any glory in his official career, but also suffered a lot. Based on Hong Tao's evaluation of him back then, Landi was really great when he was the Minister of Armed Forces.

No chance was given to him. No matter how brave he fought, he was always stuck in the position of battalion commander, unable to make any progress.

Why was this happening? He himself couldn't figure it out at the time. Later, it was his old superior Gao Tianyi who accidentally mentioned it while drinking and chatting that finally solved the puzzle. Considering the old man who blinded himself and killed his younger brother.

Although he is gone, his ghost still lingers!

But to be honest, Niu Dafu did not give up on himself because of this. Every time he encountered a battle, no matter whether he faced the same kind of people or zombies, he still took the lead and rushed to the front line, so he made many military exploits.

It was not that he wanted to turn his grief into strength, he just felt that living like this was meaningless, but he did not have the courage to commit suicide. He always thought that one day he would die on the battlefield, which would be considered a worthy death.

The ancients are right, it is a blessing, not a curse, it is a curse that cannot be avoided. As a result, you don’t want to be promoted, and the opportunity has come. After annexing the four-province alliance, the Renaissance Alliance not only changed its name, but also carried out relatively large changes in the military system.

Adjustment is mainly about expansion.

As a result, Jiao Qiao and Zhang Tao, who had just taken office, looked through the few officers with some knowledge and experience in military affairs at their disposal several times, but failed to find a more suitable candidate to be the brigade commander.

As time goes by, there are probably not many people who still remember Hong Tao's advice back then, and even Jiao Qiao has forgotten it. In addition, Gao Tianyi has been helping to support the council, and the proposal has just been

After submitting it, it was approved by the majority, and Brigadier Niu Dafu took office!

The 1st Brigade is considered the most elite unit in the Alliance Army. It was formed the earliest and has the most veterans, so it has the heaviest tasks. All four regiments under it have been split up for use. One regiment is in the three eastern provinces, and the other is in the east.

The regiment is in the northwest, and the brigade-affiliated regiment and the last regiment are stationed in HD, guarding the southern gate of the alliance.

This time, he was suddenly transferred to the 1st Reserve Brigade to direct the rescue operation. This was not a random command. This newly formed unit has actually been on the ground all along.

Training was organized in Xinxiang, Zhengzhou, and Xuchang. The person responsible for training was Niu Dafu's subordinate. He was the most suitable in terms of distance and familiarity with the situation.

Niu Dafu himself didn't have any emotions about this transfer. He wanted to fight with whomever he was fighting. It was a bit boring to train all day long. Taking the troops out for a walk would not only relax them, but also get a lot of benefits. For example, they could collect things along the way.

The supplies in the old world were brought back after the war and resold, and they all turned out to be money!

However, this time when he went south, Niu Dafu was really not in a good mood. It was not because of official matters, but 100% private matters. Four years ago, when he was just promoted to brigade commander, his first fire was in the three northeastern provinces.

He personally led the brigade team directly over and adjusted more than half of the middle and low-level commanders from top to bottom. Anyone who was timid in fighting was kicked away, and those who dared to attack and did not have so many twists and turns in their minds were promoted.
