"I am Cao Lidong, commander of the reconnaissance company of the northeast United military region. I lead 174 people of the reconnaissance company to infiltrate between Ulanqab and Zhangjiakou, bypass Datong City, and prepare to contact the Western garrison of Inner Mongolia."
Zhang Xiaoqiang stood by and listened to Cao Lidong's story. It was Li prairie, who had the rank of Colonel, who met Cao Lidong. Although Li prairie didn't show his officer's certificate, his style of being an officer was very good. What's more, Li prairie was originally an officer.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't show up because the officer had been under the military's jurisdiction. If he was told that the army was led by a civilian, it would inevitably lead to resistance. Zhou Xiong was still on the road, and Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't wait. That's why Li prairie, an air force officer, came forward.
"We also know about the general situation on your side. 800000 survivors are not a small burden..."
Cao Lidong was stunned by Li prairie's words, and then his expression became somewhat unnatural. Just as he faltered, dozens of tanks slowly turned their tracks and drove past them to the bridge deck. Hundreds of armored vehicles lined up behind the tanks. Seeing these troops, Cao Lidong was a little nervous.
For the northeast United military region, the west of Inner Mongolia is a virgin land, so there should not be too many troops. However, the troops in front of him broke his common sense. All the troops he saw were well-trained and elite. At least there was no farce of tank collision. There were also soldiers of guard regiment on guard. Everyone was killed from the sea of zombies, There is a strong air in him.
"So, you don't have to hide a lot of things from us. You should see that Shizuishan is where you are now. I can tell you that all the cities along Shizuishan, including Yinchuan Plain, have been taken by us. We found you because our main force is attacking Ordos..."
Li prairie's tone of voice is arrogant, with some exaggeration, but most of him are telling the truth. According to the actual situation, the whole Yinchuan Plain has basically arrived. The more than one million zombies left on the other side of the Yellow River are not a threat to them, but a kind of resource, so Li prairie has enough reasons to be proud.
Li prairie's words did not arouse Cao Lidong's suspicion. He believed Li prairie's words. The high-rise buildings and straight broad roads all showed that the place where the zombies were most concentrated had become a good place for them to live.
"I don't know what the chief wants to know. You and I are both soldiers. You should know that there are some things I can't say. We also have our own confidentiality regulations."
Cao Lidong lowered his posture. Before that, he almost died of plant poisoning and was extremely weak. After Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded his head, he used Baoming pill and made a very rich meal for him, which made him feel like vomiting for the first time when he had not eaten meat for a long time. Among other things, the supplies here also made him excited, I have no idea of taking root here.
"I just want to ask you two questions. Which investigation force are you? Apart from sending troops to the west, have you sent troops to Mongolia, and do you have 10 million zombies behind you..."
Cao Lidong selectively said some things, just a few superficial things, which has already let Zhang Xiaoqiang have a more detailed understanding of the northern military region. In the northern military region, the problem of food is still their enemy, second only to zombies.
As for zombies, the northern military region is really tired of dealing with them. Although they have killed no less than a million zombies before and after, they are still increasing.
In this endless resistance, they are constantly consuming valuable ammunition reserves and materials. Although they have found many ammunition depots and weapon depots, the amount of loss is always more than the amount of supplement. They have also captured many counties. Zombies can always drive them out of the county. It is impossible to defend them. Zombies can always fill walls, gullies and trenches with corpses.
In this way, they kept retreating, retreating, retreating from the three eastern provinces to Inner Mongolia until they were blocked by Hohhot city. It's not that they didn't want to bypass Hohhot from the north. It's just that hundreds of thousands of people are tired and there are not many materials left. No matter which way they choose, they have no spare power to protect the remaining 800000 survivors.
Survivors are not only the cornerstone of the army, but also the goal and hope that soldiers can continue to fight. Once the survivors are gone, the army has no soul, no soldiers, no production personnel, and the army will eventually become weaker and weaker. Therefore, the northern army made the decision to live and die with the survivors, until it was surrounded by countless zombies in a narrow mountain area.
Of course, the northern army will not wait to die. They have sent a lot of reconnaissance troops to explore the road. Among them, the road to Mongolia is certified as infeasible. It is too poor there to meet the minimum requirement of supporting the war with war.
After bypassing Hohhot, they have to face countless zombies, hard roads, and no man's land along the way. They always come back and say that they have no strength to break through the siege of zombies. Now, 800000 survivors are all crowded in the Yinshan Mountains to resist zombies. If they can't find a way out before the main force of zombies brings them, These survivors and the northern army will end up in the mountains."In any case, they did their duty to inform Ding Ziqiang to speed up the process of the eastern route. There are 800000 people waiting for us in the mountainous areas... All of them are Chinese..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly says something. Li prairie nods to Zhang Xiaoqiang and leaves to pass on his order. Cao Lidong is confused by Li prairie. Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't have any military rank and special mark. Besides his Soviet style rifle, two pistols and a strange saber, it's not much different from ordinary soldiers.
"Excuse me, are you..."
When Cao Lidong really looked at the young man in his twenties and twenties, he suddenly felt a kind of fear in his heart. It was as if he was facing a big man who regarded human life as grass and killed and determined.
"I'm not the chief or the officer, but you can call me brother cockroach. Are you interested in making a reconnaissance battalion commander?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang smiles a little and makes a solicitation to the reconnaissance company commander. He appreciates this man very much. He is still thinking about completing the task when he is single and has run out of ammunition and food. He is a very good officer. As long as he is a talented person, he doesn't want to let it go. Besides, the soldiers who are sent out to explore the way are not the direct relatives of those high-level officers.
Cao Lidong did not agree. He is digesting the meaning of Zhang Xiaoqiang's words. Is this the grassland Legion's solicitation for him? Then, Zhang Xiaoqiang left with meow, leaving Cao Lidong looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang's back. A soldier of the garrison group asked him to rest. Cao Lidong asked with a trace of doubt:
"What's cockroach's rank and position here? Let me be a battalion commander when I open my mouth. Good guy, isn't that playing with me? "
The soldiers of the garrison regiment were not very old. They looked like seventeen or eighteen years old and had the spirit of young people. Hearing Cao Lidong's question, they said with disdain:
"Come on, it's better for you to pick up the stool, not to mention the battalion commander, even if the commander is not cockroach brother? Let's go. Your good day is coming. Maybe I'll salute you next time I see you again. "
"Report to brother cockroach, the bloody battle group has suffered heavy losses this time. I have direct responsibility. Please remove my post, and I will accept any punishment from you..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang just walked into the regimental headquarters of the bloody battle regiment. Li Zhongyue was just like Zhang Xiaoqiang asking to resign as the head of the bloody battle regiment. Li Zhongyue was very sincere and didn't have any reluctance. After Li Zhongyue, Han Yue was also ashamed. As for Yueya, she sat on one side with a cold face and was very unhappy. Zhang Xiaoqiang swept through the crowd in turn, Then he patted Li Zhongyue on the shoulder and did not speak. He went over to the master's seat and sat down. Meow, who was carrying an aluminum suitcase, stood behind Zhang Xiaoqiang. His eyes swept from the crescent of the moon from time to time, with a little bit of hostility.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was the only one sitting on the spot, and the others were standing on one side. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not ask them to sit down. He raised his hand to stop Li Zhongyue, who had to ask again. Zhang Xiaoqiang turned to Han Yue, who was standing on one side, and said:
"Is the search and rescue work downstream over? How many bodies did you find? How many people are missing? "
