Chapter 667: Battle to Recapture Meitan County
Gu Chengyuan stood in front of the huge French window in his office, looking out the window at the densely packed Type 99A main battle tanks, Type 04A infantry fighting vehicles, and Type 09 dual 35 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that almost covered the entire Night Province Military Region.
I couldn't help but feel proud!
This is my kingdom, and this is my confidence in clearing away the chaos!
"Guihong, remember this!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the leader's tall figure in front of the window, Zhou Guihong's eyes were full of admiration.
"Zhu Jun has lived a peaceful life in Chongyi for long enough. Let the agency draft an appointment letter and transfer Zhu Jun to be the commander of the Tongren Military Sub-district!"
"This batch of new training brigades hasn't been shipped out yet, right?"
Hearing the commander mention the new training troops, Zhou Guihong thought for a moment, and then replied: "Report to the commander, the first two brigades of new training troops will go to the front line of Yucheng at 2:14 this afternoon, accompanied by Major General Yu Zhengguo, commander of the 77th Corps!"
"It's good that you haven't left yet!"
"Remember it again!"
"Yes!"
"Order the newly trained 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Brigades to stop heading to the front line of Yucheng, equip themselves with weapons on the spot, and be reorganized into the Yezhou Infantry Brigade and included in the official combat sequence!"
"After the above four infantry brigades are reorganized and equipped, they will be sent to the Tongren gathering place to form the Tongren Military Sub-district together with the 2nd Heavy Combined Brigade, the 2nd Medium Combined Brigade, and the 2nd Light Combined Brigade. They will be under the jurisdiction of the Military Sub-district Commander Zhu Jun!"
"Yes!"
...
Soon, as Gu Chengyuan's order was drafted into a formal document and passed down, the entire Ye Province Military District system was in shock. It can be said that a wave of upheaval had arisen out of the blue, causing a huge storm!
Anyone in the military system can almost predict that after the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district, another large military region is rising!
Once established, it will consist of three ace brigades + four infantry brigades, a total of seven brigade-level units, with a total strength of nearly 4 troops!
This shows that the provincial military district chief attaches great importance to Tongren City or Xiangzhou Province.
This is definitely the rhythm of opening up a second battlefield!
As a result, the newly established Tongren Military Sub-district, which had nothing yet, had already become a hot commodity in the entire army. A large number of military cadres with a keen sense of smell took action at the first opportunity to prepare for the opportunity to be transferred to the Tongren Military Sub-district.
It's no wonder that these military cadres are excited. The future positioning of Tongren Military Sub-district is too important. It is directly benchmarked against Xiangzhou Province. This means a huge amount of military merits and a lot of promotion space, which makes people excited.
This trend of transfer to the Tongren Military Sub-district eventually even reached the provincial military district headquarters, and many cadres and leaders in the headquarters also became interested in it.
After all, although the military region's directly affiliated organs are inherently superior, the promotion space is really torturous with each person being promoted to a certain position. Instead of slowly grinding away in a comfortable environment, it is better to go directly to the front line to gain military merits.
Promoting people through decentralization and then returning the power of the military region to its central authority can be considered a very cost-effective shortcut, but it requires risking one's life.
...
Meitan County, Chongyi City
For more than half a year after the end of the world, Meitan County looked like a rag doll abandoned in a corner and ignored by everyone, and it looked gray and gloomy.
For a long time, the sky was covered with a layer of lead-gray deathly air, as if the sky was filled with rotten cotton wool.
The once turbulent Mekong River is now full of swollen corpses, and the water is as sticky as asphalt. The crooked "Zhoubang Tea Sea" stone tablet on the river bank is densely covered with dark red hyphae, like rotting blood vessels in the earth.
On the streets, the drainage ditches no longer flowed with sewage, but a thick mixture of corpse fluid and black spores. Groups of eyeball-shaped mutant creatures rolled in them. These "scavenging jellyfish" with a diameter of half a meter stretched out their tentacles and pulled the broken legs stuck in the manhole covers into their digestive cavities.
Several kilometers away from the urban area, in the command vehicle of the combined brigade, Zhu Jun, a colonel and commander of the military sub-district and commander of the 1st Medium Combined Brigade, and several staff officers were gathered in front of the ultra-high-definition LED splicing screen in the command vehicle, comparing and distinguishing the real-time video images sent back by the drone with serious expressions.
I saw something similar to a zombie hive appearing on the screen.
From the video, we can see that the outer walls of the teaching building of Meitan Middle School are covered with wriggling flesh membranes, which are very similar to the biological matrix used by the "zombie nest mother" to expand its territory.
At the window of the third-floor classroom, there was a mucus tube hanging like an umbilical cord, and newly hatched zombie baby animals could be seen breaking out of the sacs with the naked eye.
They fell into the "nursing pool" below with their amniotic membranes still attached - it was originally the school's flag-raising square, but now it was a concrete pit soaked in green culture fluid. Thousands of baby zombies were banging their skulls against the pool wall, making a teeth-grinding clicking sound.
"Commander, these are no longer ordinary zombies. Give the order!" The colonel chief of staff at the side suggested in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Zhu Jun shifted his attention from the split-screen zombie nest to the main screen.
On the main screen of the command vehicle, hundreds of dots of different colors were jumping on the three-dimensional map. The red dots represented the zombies, the blue dots represented the mutant beasts, and the green dots represented our own troops.
At this moment, the entire Meitan city area was almost entirely red, filled with a murderous aura, with only a few blue dots interspersed.
However, this does not mean that the number of mutant creatures is small. Rather, compared to zombies, mutant creatures are smarter and therefore more secretive. It is difficult to collect detailed data solely by relying on drone markings in the sky.
As the screen drags, it arrives at the outskirts of Meitan County, and the green light spots become visibly denser and stagnant.
It was obvious that the siege troops of the 1st Medium Combined Brigade had already prepared for the attack and were waiting for Zhu Jun's order.
"Order all troops of the brigade to strictly implement the attack plan. During the battle, you must unconditionally obey the orders of the brigade headquarters!"
"Now I declare that the battle to retake Meitan County has officially begun!"
"attack!!"
As Zhu Jun chopped down heavily with his right hand, a few seconds later, a group of green cursors moved violently on the ultra-high-definition LED splicing screen of the command vehicle, and quickly advanced towards Meitan County.
buzzing~~~
A small military drone hovered over Meitan Middle School, capturing, calibrating and transmitting back the coordinate data of the zombie hive through thermal imaging.
&34;坐标X-217，Y-589，PHL-191全营集火！&34;炮兵指挥车内，屏幕中的巢母被标注为深紫色1类高危目标。
Next second
The nine box-type rocket launchers steer automatically, and the fire control system is connected to the laser mapping data transmitted back in real time by the drone.
At this moment, the zombie hive seemed to be bound by hundreds of digital chains. Even the evaporation rate of the corrosive mucus oozing from the surface of the flesh membrane was included in the ballistic calculation by the wind speed sensor.
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the brigade command post, one kilometer away from the artillery position, began to shake amid the heavy sound of artillery fire.
Praise praise praise praise ~~
A deafening salvo tore through the clouds as twenty-four 122mm thermobaric rockets spread their wings of death in the air.
It dragged an orange-red tail flame across the sky and pierced into the foundation of the teaching building at an angle of 60 degrees - this was the optimal solution deduced by the fire control computer: when the warhead delay fuse was triggered, the thermobaric cloud just filled the vertical space of the entire building.
The nest mother zombie sensed danger, and its flesh membrane instantly thickened to two meters. Countless zombie larvae gushed out from the mucus tubes, trying to build a defense layer with their flesh and blood.
Also, wait a moment
