"Beep beepbeep beep" At this moment the whistle sounded, and the two teams of soldiers stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted, raised their guns, and shot Repeat this set of actions three times, then light the fire, and the ceremony begins. After that, the coachmen on both sides were escorted back to the station by soldiers.
"Chief of Staff, isn't it appropriate to take them to the zombie-controlled area?" Watching the coachmen gradually walk away, the 8th regiment leader Yang Ming immediately approached Zhang Ke and raised objections to the plan that had just been revised last night.
Given that the number of coachmen is still sufficient, everyone agrees that the mission can continue. In this way, the incident of the transportation team being attacked by zombies can be mixed with the report on the clean-up operation, and it will be less obtrusive with a little embellishment. After all, it is normal to be attacked in a zombie-controlled area, and casualties are inevitable.
However, seeing the performance of the two coachmen at the memorial ceremony, Yang Ming, who originally strongly advocated continuing to go south, immediately felt a drum in his heart. Yes, it is necessary to continue to perform tasks to cover up the mistakes of the battalion commander under him, but it is more important to ensure the lives of the officers and soldiers of the regiment.
The coachmen almost started fighting under the noses of the army. After crossing the Huaihe River, the combat troops had to start immediately. Who had so many troops to fight 24 hours a day. In case the logistics convoy fights with each other first, the combat troops in front will starve to death!
"The coachman from Changfeng and Zhongyi Company will follow you, and the coachman from Ping'an Company will follow me. You take the first and third battalions and hand over the second battalion to me. However, Battalion Commander Jiang should not go with the team, let him take a Ben was in charge of communications at the airport."
Regarding the issue of the coachman, Zhang Ke understands it more clearly and deeply than Yang Ming, as long as the two groups of people are not brought together, nothing will happen. To put it bluntly, the fight among the coachmen only exists at the company level, and it will not rise to the level where even the army is involved.
In addition, this year's action to clean up the zombie-controlled area is not the same as in previous years. As long as the conditions are not completely unavailable, no one can stop it. It is related to the planning of the General Staff for nearly half a year, and a bunch of senior officials are waiting to hear the results of their field inspections.
"Alright, put the guard company, engineer company, and heavy firepower company into the second battalion, or the communication company will also row over" Yang Ming thought it would be a good idea to separate the coachman, but he began to worry about Zhang Ke's safety again. .
If this young deputy chief of staff, who is likely to be the future successor of the Minister of Armed Forces, suffers a disadvantage in the 8th regiment, when he comes to power in the future, I am afraid that he will have nothing to eat except to retire quickly.
"Commander Yang, I assigned all the teams directly under the regiment to me. How can the first battalion and the third battalion use firepower to deal with a large number of zombies? Don't forget, there are no living corpses and there are blue devils. That thing is sometimes more difficult to deal with. Don't worry. , I'm not a stick in the office, after crossing the river, I'm only in charge of the flank of the main attack direction, and I won't rush forward!"
Zhang Ke smiled and patted Commander Yang's arm, signaling that he should not be so nervous. When it comes to fighting zombies, even your brigade commander Wang Yingan must be regarded as a junior. When I followed Grandpa Hong to shoot zombies with steel crossbows, you were still hiding in the ruins in panic all day long!
"Lao Yang, the chief of staff is a veteran who participated in the first battle to defend the capital, so don't give orders indiscriminately. How about this, our squadron allocated a light infantry fighting vehicle for the chief of staff to use as a command vehicle. The radio has more power!"
The Air Force Squadron Leader on the side heard the hidden pride in Zhang Ke's words, and immediately understood it, and took a small pat. But you can't just fill in the leaders with your mouth, you must come up with some dry goods. And it can't be said that it is used for safety purposes, it has to be said that being a communication hub is all for work, listen, who would have the heart to refuse it!
"You can't relax at the airport. I will report to the Ministry immediately when I go back. The defense of the airport still needs to be strengthened, especially the armored vehicles. It is difficult to deal with a large group of zombie attacks with the light firepower of the soldiers. The further south you go, the more dangerous it is. , I haven¡¯t been there for more than ten years!¡±
Zhang Ke was not stingy in reciprocating, and immediately responded to the Air Force's kindness. In fact, it is not all for rewards. It is one thing to sit in the office and read various reports on weekdays, but it is another thing to come down to the front line in person.
The defense of Minggang Airport is still a bit weak, either because of the small number of people or the lack of heavy weapons, especially the strong maneuverability and fierce firepower. There are too few self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and self-propelled rocket launchers. There are only 30mm small matchsticks and coaxial machine guns, and they have to be blinded when encountering a large-scale zombie wave.
Moreover, the Air Force is not the same as the Army. The personnel and equipment they have to protect are very expensive. The airport is full of planes, fuel, weapons and ammunition, and luggage in transition. Once lost, the loss will be very large, and it must be strengthened as soon as possible.
"Oh, thanks to the chief of staff being able to come down and walk around, otherwise it would be useless for us to cry every day. It doesn't take much. An armored battalion can be transferred to cooperate with our transport plane, and there will be tens of thousands of mourningCorpse is not a problem. Whether the blue devil or the blue devil, kill all of them to the pharmaceuticals! "
This promise made the squadron leader almost cry, and the same report has been typed for more than two months, and the bullshit has not come. Although the deputy chief of staff just talked about it, as long as he can really go to the ministry to react, the effect will definitely be different.
Those bureaucrats who sit in the office are not afraid of making reports every day, and they are not afraid of leapfrog reactions. They follow the procedures and do nothing wrong. But they are afraid of the roll call by their superiors. As long as they are called, all procedures have to be omitted. It is really impossible to do something special, anyway, as fast 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 get some equipment, but he couldn't open his mouth. There is also the brigade commander above him, even if he is crying poor, the brigade commander has to come forward, it is really not his turn, sometimes it is wrong to be too active.
However, it is also a problem if the brigade commander asks a high-ranking official who can reach the sky and returns empty-handed. So he changed the subject, stopped crying about being poor, and instead discussed the direction of grand strategy.
Regarding the topic of the alliance going south in a large scale, it is said to be a high-level top secret, and it will definitely not be announced to the outside world until there is a final conclusion. But as an active duty officer, it is impossible not to feel nothing about this kind of thing. There are only so few troops in total, and whoever is transferred here and there can't see any clues.
"According to reports from the intelligence agencies, no established army from Wuhan has been found going north of the river in the past four years, nor have I heard of any local non-governmental organizations exploring north. There should be no major surprises in this regard.
If you really find out, you must restrain yourself, notify me immediately, and don't act without authorization. If you have to, you can fight back within a limited amount Unless you are absolutely sure to encircle and wipe them out, don't confront them head-on! "
Zhang Ke didn't dare to talk nonsense about this issue, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he couldn't always ask himself for instructions on everything, and the necessary command authority still had to be delegated. However, there is a problem of degree, which requires the commander to play on the spot. This is also the difference between experienced and inexperienced.
"Hey, I understand, I don't want to leave anyone alive, let's come to a dead end" Yang Ming is more experienced. After listening to Zhang Ke's answer, he has a clearer understanding of the scale of this southward battle. , but also 100% understand the intention of the leader.
The translation of Zhang Ke's meaning means that scratching and beating are all right, but the buttocks must be wiped clean. In fact, this kind of small-scale conflict occurs every year, not only with the Southeastern Alliance, but also with the Southwest Alliance and the Redeemer, and there will be a little friction from time to time.
There are two attitudes of the armed forces and the coalition government to such small frictions. Externally, it must be regretful regretful regretful, condemning and condemning again and again, pushing all the responsibilities onto the other party's head, and then letting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs go and talk about it, and no one will mention it.
Internally, the requirements are more specific. Officers above the battalion will regularly go to the North City Base to receive special training from the Air Service Regiment. In addition to reverse osmosis, the content also includes how to use the advantages of terrain, climate, and equipment in small-scale conflicts to win the first blow and wipe it out.
? To sum it up in one sentence, you can fight or catch, as long as you win and don't leave any real evidence for the opponent, the commander will count as a meritorious service. On the contrary, no matter how wronged you are or how unreasonable the other party is, it's all your fault, whoever makes you unable to win or wipe your ass clean!
