The chief of staff's response made Kang Wannian's already groggy head feel pain again. He picked up the medicine box on the table, found the box of painkillers in it, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back: "Let the orderly

Send my medicine to the field hospital."

"Commander, your health is important!" After hearing Kang Wannian's response, the chief of staff advised: "Even if you send such a small amount of medicine to the hospital, it won't solve the problem. If something goes wrong with you, it will be our biggest loss.

.”

"Don't talk about this." Kang Wannian waved his hand to interrupt the chief of staff's response: "Is there no way to replenish the supply of ammunition?"

"I have already issued an order to have the four border guards in the outer city turn over all their weapons and ammunition, but this is just a drop in the bucket. Our troops left the administrative area before, with the original intention of annihilating the rebellious parties outside the city, so

The amount of ammunition carried was very limited, and since the beginning of the civil war, the ammunition prepared by the reserve troops was used to provide supplies to those on the front line."

The chief of staff paused for a moment: "In addition to the shortage of bullets, our light and heavy machine guns also suffered a lot of consumption when attacking the Beida Bridge. There were also artillery shells. The previous high-intensity shelling also consumed a lot of artillery shells.

At present, our artillery shell inventory is only about one-third, and I have ordered to reduce the frequency of artillery bombardment with the rebels across the bank, and at the same time prepare to remove some meaningless artillery positions."

Kang Wannian asked with some worry: "If this happens, will Pei Mu's people notice our details?"

"This kind of thing is inevitable. Besides, there are think tanks in the rebel army. They can also analyze our situation." The chief of staff paused and continued: "But even if Pei Mu's people know that we are short of ammunition, in the short term

They don’t dare to organize a counterattack, because there are still a large number of test subjects in the city, and the first thing they have to do is to maintain stability and then integrate resources.”

"Even so, our time is limited." Kang Wannian rubbed his temples and said: "It is impossible for the administrative district to be reduced to an isolated island for too long. If Pei Mu wants to fight against the Pei family, the only way is to turn us

Drive out of the fortress and use the defensive power of the city wall to resist. As long as their people are not fools, they will definitely launch a counterattack before reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, the rebels will have no chance to stand up."

The chief of staff nodded: "On this point, you and the staff have the same idea, and we think so too."

Kang Wannian put out his cigarette: "How long will it take for our nearest supplies to arrive?"

The chief of staff pursed his lips and responded: "With Fortress No. 87 as the center, the nearby fortresses are currently in a state of empty troops. Most of the garrison has been transferred to the Qiongling battlefield, and at the headquarters,

There is currently no order to send troops to support us."

"This is normal. No one would think that the ragtag group of people in Pei Mu's hands would be the opponent of our tens of thousands of regular troops. Currently, Pei's troops are empty. It is really impossible to send troops to support us over long distances.

It’s too realistic.” Kang Wannian smacked his teeth and said, “If we don’t have soldiers, we will always have weapons and equipment, right?”

"Yes! Over at Fortress No. 88, they have begun to collect ammunition and medicines to be sent to No. 87. Under normal circumstances, it will arrive in about three days. However, the outer city of the fortress has been occupied by the rebels. No. 88 is

There is only one regiment in the transit fortress. It is difficult for them to deploy too many people to transport supplies. At the same time, they are also afraid of being ambushed by the rebels." The chief of staff paused for a moment: "But there are 20,000 Black Horse Guards stationed at No. 87. We

Maybe you can ask them for help."

"Bullshit!" Kang Wannian immediately objected: "Currently Qu Xiangran is trapped in the administrative district. Since Pei Mu dares to rebel against the Pei family chaebol, how can he care about Qu Xiangran's face? He won't force Qu Xiangran."

It would be a good thing if we rebelled with him, but Qu Xiangran cannot help us at this juncture."

The chief of staff licked his lips: "Tell me, is it possible for Pei Mu to really force Qu Xiangran to use the Black Horse Guards?"

"It's unlikely." Kang Wannian waved his hand: "Pei Mu rebelled in order to survive, not to seek death. If Qu Xiangran is really pushed into a hurry, his path will be even less. The rebels need it most.

What is it? It is justifiable, it is to give yourself a reasonable label. After Pei Mu becomes independent, all supplies of Fortress No. 87 will be cut off. In this case, what he lacks most is friends. "

"You should be thoughtful about this kind of thing." The chief of staff thought for a moment and became more relaxed: "If we can confirm that Pei Mu has no backup, then our situation will be much easier."

"Since we are short of weapons and ammunition, we should try our best to avoid large-scale conflicts with the rebels and solve the problem of supplies first." Kang Wannian rubbed his palms: "Does the staff have any new combat plans?"

"I am also preparing to ask you for instructions on this matter." The chief of staff pulled the chair and sat next to Pei Mu, and said: "As for the next combat plan, the staff is currently divided into two groups, some of whom advocate fighting to the death.

After all, they went to the private sector to collect supplies and prepare for the war with all their strength! The other group of people advocated annihilating the experimental subjects, maintaining the stability of the non-public security area, and using this as a base to launch a protracted war with the rebels and provide long-term supplies of supplies! The two sides are now quarreling.

It’s very fierce, but in the end it’s up to you to decide which route to take.”

Kang Wannian unscrewed the thermos cup, poured a glass of water to the chief of staff with the lid, handed it over, and asked softly: "What do you think about this matter?"

The chief of staff said: "To be honest, I advocate the former! And I suggest that we capture strong men from non-security areas and let them serve as the vanguard and supplement the soldiers in the war of attrition. War is cruel, and sometimes we have to make sacrifices!"

"

"War is indeed cruel, but there must be a bottom line. Capturing strong men is a coward's choice, and it is also a clumsy way to fight. Moreover, sending cannon fodder without faith to the battlefield will cause a large area to run away when the gunfire rings. They

It may not be able to exert any combat effectiveness, but it will affect the morale of the regular army."

Kang Wannian pondered for a moment: "The expansion of the experimental body is very fast. The presence of such a group of guys in the outer city is a huge unstable factor, so I prefer the second set of proposals to fight against the experimental body and recruit soldiers at the same time, in a regular way.

The establishment of the guard army is recruiting troops."

"Commander, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, isn't it?" The chief of staff frowned and said, "There is no precedent for recruiting troops from non-security areas for the Guards. If we really want to recruit troops, we should use mercenaries..."

"To do extraordinary things, you must use extraordinary means. Now the war is raging. Everyone knows that you will die as a soldier. There is no profit. Who will work for you?" Kang Wannian said categorically: "I have made the decision on this matter.
