Doomsday rat

Chapter 1178 A false alarm

"If only there were naval gunboats to support... Alas, internal and external troubles!" With a practical solution, Niu Dafu hurried away without even eating lunch.Zhang Tao looked at the small black dots on the map and heaved a long sigh.

This method cannot be called perfect. It would be more reasonable if a few gunboats dragged a string of barges loaded with heavy machine guns on the river and followed the movement direction of the zombie tide to monitor its every move.Even if the zombie tide suddenly chooses a certain place to cross, it can still use the firepower advantage to resist a little and buy time for the army to deploy.

But Niu Dafu didn't dare to say a word about letting the navy participate in the war. Ever since Hetian Renji brought the destroyer and some naval officers and soldiers followed Zhou Yuan to announce their separation from the alliance, the navy was basically abolished.The remaining officers and soldiers were screened one by one by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the toss has not yet been finished. People are panicking and there is no fighting power.

Speaking of the navy, Zhang Tao couldn't think of Hong Tao.When Hong Tao didn't leave, he made a very clear plan for army building.Its basic idea is to vigorously develop the air force and navy, and regard these two services as the fist and claws of the alliance in the future.

The army is regarded as a defensive service. It does not mean that it does not develop, but that it is more inclined to the air force and navy in terms of quantity, scale and investment.According to the original plan, the navy should collect as many personnel and equipment as possible, especially large warships, even if they are temporarily unavailable, they must find a way to drag them back for maintenance.

But after his death, the alliance's army development plan gradually changed.The air force has not weakened much, but its development momentum is not as good as before. If it hadn't achieved brilliant results in the past, and had a group of officers who firmly followed the paratrooper raid route, it might not be much stronger than the navy.

The Navy, which has no record and no connections, is hit to the bottom all of a sudden. It receives the least funding every year and the least supplementary personnel.Anyone who wants to get promoted quickly in the army will definitely not choose the navy.

There is only one reason, the navy is too expensive, and it is still a long-term investment, and no effect will be seen in a short time.With this money, it is better to invest it in the army and air force, and the effect will be quick.No matter who is the leader, he is also willing to make achievements during his tenure. Only with achievements can he make progress. It is not easy to talk about what will happen in the future.

As for whether the navy can gain more benefits for the alliance in ten or 20 years, no one will consider it.At that time, it is not known who is in power, and thinking too far is not only not good for the individual, but also loses all the benefits in front of him.

But the ancients seem to have encountered this kind of problem a long time ago, and learned a lesson, and came to the conclusion that people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries.It's a pity that people in the future will take the experience and lessons summed up by the predecessors as fart. People who know are everywhere, but very few actually do it.

If the development of the navy has not been delayed, it should be far more than a destroyer and a few small gunboats.Not to mention whether we can go to Southeast Asia to show off our power and snatch population resources, just blocking the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and using large-caliber bullets and artillery shells to effectively strike coastal targets cannot be ignored.

If I have ten inland river gunboats with fierce firepower in my hand, do I still need to be so passive and let the tide of zombies lead me by the nose?No matter where those monsters want to cross the river, they have to ask dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns and dozens of cannons to agree or not!

"Staff, immediately draft a telegram and order the third brigade..." But thinking about it is futile, the navy is hopeless, and now it can only rely on the legs of the army.You have to adjust quickly, especially in mountainous areas where the deployment speed will be relatively slow, so you must not make any mistakes in your own defense zone.

That night, the wave of zombies arrived in Kaifeng as expected, and continued to move westward, and appeared in Gongyi, east of Luoyang, the next morning.

After that, there was still no intention of stopping, braving the drizzle, like a layer of gray-black blanket, spreading westward on the green land, and approaching SMX a day later.

At this time, the Xi'an base had to start a large-scale evacuation. All personnel packed up their belongings at any time, boarded the train in the order arranged in advance, and crossed the Yellow River into Shanxi one by one, aiming at Taiyuan and Datong.

Then the bridge across the river along the way was also blown up by engineers, and many people shed tears watching the collapse of the bridge body.They have lived here for a long time. Even if they were not locals before, many of them married wives and had children and regarded this place as their home.

But the arrival of the horde of zombies once again destroyed their homes and lives, and their tears were filled with hatred except nostalgia!In order to go home, the zombies must be eliminated, even if you pay your life for it!
The wave of zombies seems to have heard the cries of human beings. After crossing SMX, they did not go to Xi'an to make trouble, but stopped near Weinan.On the other hand, another wave of zombies in the east is still marching stubbornly westward at a speed of 250 to [-] kilometers per day, as if following in the footsteps of the former.

Five days later, two waves of zombies converged north of Xi'an.The long-awaited big fight did not happen, not even the crowded scene.Dark zombies covered the fields and hillsides, standing there quietly, like a black ocean, making the pilot of the reconnaissance plane dizzy.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the black ocean disappeared overnight, leaving only a few obvious traces on the ground, traces that can be seen from the sky.

"Still going west?" Looking at the news sent back by the reconnaissance plane, Gao Tian walked quickly to the map, looked up to find the corresponding location.The horde of zombies that merged into one had already appeared in the east of Baoji overnight, divided into four large columns, stretching for more than ten kilometers, and marching towards the west side by side.

"What's on the west side?" The location was found, but Gao Tianyi still didn't understand, so he turned around and asked Pan Wenxiang who was standing next to the sand table.

"...Maybe there is no clear target! This time the ability to control the living corpse has improved, but from the analysis of the signs along the way, apart from the sudden attack on Huai'an, the purpose is not too strong.

In general, he still chases the living by instinct as before, and once he is thrown away, he immediately loses his target. Minister Niu may be confused by the failure of the Southern Group, which is probably the result of inexperience and unreasonable defensive measures. "

In just half a month, Pan Wenxiang, who was white and fat, had already lost his appearance. He ate and slept in the war room almost every day, his mind was full of data from zombies and frontline troops, which was very exhausting.Now that the zombie tide has been temporarily out of contact, it is like rebirth to him, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"How much did our army lose this time?" After so many years of not having much contact with the army, Gao Tianyi had basically forgotten all his military literacy, and could only rely on professionals.This is also the reason why Zhang Tao's attitude is not very clear, and he can still sit firmly in the position of deputy minister of the armed forces, and there is no one to change in a hurry.

"There were not many casualties. Only the troops led by Minister Niu suffered more than 300 casualties during the battle and retreat in LY. But the consumption of materials was serious. Including those transported to the Yellow River defense line, almost half of them were in stock.

However, there are still a lot of luggage left in Huai'an and LY. If you can determine the direction of the zombie tide, you should send people across the river to transport it back as soon as possible.It’s just that all the bridges on the Yellow River have been destroyed. It’s easier to restore the road bridges, but it will take longer for the railways. I have to ask the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Ministry of Machinery about this. "

Commanding operations and dispatching military supplies is the job of the staff department. Pan Wenxiang has already memorized these data by heart, so he doesn't need to read any materials, even other people's.

"...Well, it's time to bring it back and add it. By the way, I will search the vicinity of Huai'an and LYG carefully. There should be an old world military department there, maybe there will be unexpected gains. Oh, by the way, is there anything in Liandao? movement?"

Gao Tianyi couldn't help but feel pain when he heard that most of his family fortune was thrown out.Now that the zombies have gone west and cannot return in a short time, of course all the luggage left in the south of the Yellow River must be transported back.As for who it belonged to before, it doesn't matter, whoever gets it first counts.

But when he mentioned the intermodal port, he thought of another thing, mutants!Letting the zombie tide break out, it is obvious that the action of encircling and suppressing the mutants cannot continue.But this does not mean that there will be no encirclement and suppression. Without international support, the strength of the East Asian Alliance alone will still be enough.
