Egg knows without looking at the map that this town is called Ross Town. If you zoom in on the map, you can see its street distribution in detail. From the street distribution, it can be roughly seen that its size is similar to that of Jixi Town.
Ross Town is about 70-80 kilometers away from Jixi Town. Iger also asked Joanna and Andy about the situation there.
Andy was obviously not familiar with the area, and it was in vain to ask. Joanna had been there a few times, and she said that the area around there was all farmland, and the town was rustic, with nothing fun or interesting.
Egger originally planned to explore the east side after the west side calmed down for a while, but he was so busy that he didn't get around to it until now. As a result, you see, Ross Town has been occupied.
Although Iger didn't attach much importance to Ross Town before, but such a resource point that he had included in his plan was occupied by others first, which made Ige quite unhappy.
Egg carefully looked at the road from Jixi Town to Ross Town, and there was only one.
When setting up the safety zone, Egger also followed the internal team to run around the area in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
To the east of Jixi Town is a plain, with only scattered farmhouses along the way and no large-scale settlements.
Because both sides of the road are too flat, the isolation fence in the safety zone is very rough. If the isolation fences in other directions are just a cover-up, the isolation fence here is more like a decoration.
There is really no choice. There are roads everywhere on the Great Plains. Unless an excavator can directly dig out a trench, there will be nowhere to defend.
"Bill, what kind of team was that team that occupied Ross Town?" Egg asked Bill.
Bill touched his smooth chin and said, "I don't know. When we passed there that day, it was already evening, and we only saw them burning a large number of corpses outside the town. We didn't dare to get close, so we took a detour from a distance.
"
Bill was very self-aware. The way their team looked at that time, if they dared to go to a crowded place, they might be treated as "wild dogs" as soon as they showed up.
There are no good things in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and now there is nothing to play with.
Egger stared at the screen of his mobile phone and was considering whether to lead a large force across the mountains and go to Vincennes Town to explore the situation, or to continue heading west and fight the infected in the red zone.
Neither of these is what Iger wants to do now. Recently, he has been fighting infected people every day, and Iger's brain power is almost being drained.
When Ige was thinking about where to go to work today with a grimace, he only heard a buzzer from the broadcast loudspeaker, followed by a radio call: "All members of the internal security team must assemble immediately. All members of the internal security team must assemble immediately. This is not an act.
, this is not acting.”
This is Erica's voice.
Although the internal security team has two teams and is fully equipped with various equipment, they are not full-time combat personnel like the field team.
The internal security team gathers together every morning, followed by a half-hour intensive training. Then, according to the task arrangement of the day, one group is responsible for daily patrols and security, and the other group is disbanded to do other ordinary internal work.
The gathering of the internal security team is obviously not an everyday event.
Just as Erica was standing on the street of the Morgan Building anxiously waiting for the team members to gather, she saw Egg running over with the field team.
"Egg!"
"Erica."
The two hotheads greeted each other at the same time as if they had a good understanding of each other.
"What happened?" Iger said to Erica.
"Someone has invaded our safe zone." Erica said to Egg, "The patrol reported that a group of unidentified people have invaded the border of our core safe zone and they are tearing down our protective wall."
Damn it, Ige is also confused. Someone actually dares to disturb Tai Sui?
He asked Erica: "Real or fake? Where is it?"
Erica pulled over a female team member and said to her: "You come and report."
"Report!" The female team member saluted Egger and said in a very serious voice. She stood up straight, and the curve in front of her body almost dazzled Egger's eyes.
Take a look at the internal support team. Every member of the team looks decent at first glance. Over here, Iger turned his head and saw a group of stragglers doing nothing.
"Report Captain Egger." The female team member said: "At 10:34 in the morning, we found more than ten unidentified people at the edge of the eastern safety zone, who were dismantling the protective wall of the safety zone we built."
Egger looked at his watch and saw that the time was now 10:58. The news was still hot. So he asked the female team member: "Do they have weapons? Have you come into contact with them?"
"Report to Captain Egger, there was no contact." The female team member said: "According to the patrol regulations, after we discovered the situation at a very far distance, we did not stop to observe, and directly retreated to the base camp to call for support."
This is the patrol rule established by Erica. The most important thing for the patrol is to find and report problems, and processing is a further matter.
Taking into account the average abilities of her team members, Erica naturally would not let her team members take risks blindly.
The east side, that's what Bill mentioned, had just taken Ross Town.
This group of people had just occupied a small town and immediately expanded there. Since they dared to blatantly tear down the protective wall set up by the gospel team, it showed that this was not a misunderstanding.
After thinking for a while, Iger said to Erica: "Don't send out your security team yet, let's go and have a look at our field team. Guard your home and don't fall into the trap."
Erica nodded.
The daily defense of the gospel team has nothing to do with the security team. In accordance with Andy's requirements for the universal armed force, ordinary internal support teams take turns on duty.
There is actually no contradiction between Egger's all-elite personnel and Andy's all-people armed force. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, but a knife does not mean that only the blade is enough.
Daily defense work only requires an internal team of 4 people to complete, with one person in the watchtower and three people at the gate.
But once an emergency occurs, the internal security team will first provide defensive support.
At present, it is unclear whether we are the enemy or not, so it is best for the security team to be on standby in the fortress. When it comes to fortress defense, the field team may not be as good as the security team.
Don't underestimate Erica, a professional security guard. The security team has conducted a lot of defense drills and conducted many highly targeted specialized trainings.
Egg quickly organized the team members. After briefly describing the current situation to the team members, he waved his hand and shouted:
"Field team, let's go."
…
Gu Qi
Iger misses Fran a little. Today Iger took advantage of the opportunity to scold the Evans Brotherhood at the conference. In fact, he was also venting his grievances against certain people in the gospel team. These certain people are not just Lily.
After the siege of Jixi Town, when Egg revealed some things that no one knew before, many people did not show it on the surface, but they kept feeling unhappy in their hearts.
From a logical point of view, no one is at fault. From a deeper point of view, everyone who stayed in Jixi Town is at fault.
The truth is the truth, but people's mentality cannot be explained by the truth, so many people have evil fire in their hearts and no place to vent it.
So privately, rumors about Father Locke began to spread.
After all, Father Locke actually has no rumors to spread.
Father Locke has a very upright image. You can complain that he is long-winded, you can complain that he is hesitant to do things, you can complain that he is a good old man, but there is really nothing about him that can be criticized. So, rumors spread to Egghead superior.
Egger is a diehard, and everyone is actually a little afraid of him, so the target of the rumors keeps changing, and finally one day it falls on Fran.
Fran was the first to discover the infected group. According to Egger's theory, some people thought, what would have happened if Fran had not alerted the infected group, and then it became, what if Fran had not discovered the infected group.
In short, this old ostrich mentality that if there is no discovery, there will be no problem, and whoever discovers it will be guilty, has become the mainstream.
Of course, I wouldn’t dare to say this on the surface, but there is someone, well, it’s Lily. She proposed a no-confidence motion against Fran on the board of directors, on the grounds that Fran did not perform the patrol of the 15-kilometer safety zone. Responsibilities.
Over this matter, Elvira and Lily had a quarrel, and the two sisters who had been in the same trench finally discovered that they were not the same person after all.
As a result, the two women started fighting each other. To be honest, once a woman gets involved, she has nothing to do with a man.
Avila and Lily originally had a lot of prejudices accumulated in the past, but now they have come out together. Every meeting is a melon tasting party, which makes Vance extremely embarrassed.
Even Vance felt embarrassed, and Fran must have been even more unbearable. He reported his resignation to Iger, drove the car with a shotgun on his back, and went back to the southern forest.
At that time, Egger was leading the field team in a bloody battle with the infected in the red zone. He had no energy to pay attention to such nonsense, so he left Fran alone and treated him as if he was relaxing.
The third field team has been disbanded in disguise, but patrols in the safe zone cannot be interrupted.
Iger, who was very busy, separated the security zone patrol from field work, and then formed an internal security team.
Subsequently, the internal security team took on all the daily tasks that the field team was overwhelmed with.
Fran didn't go to the forest just for fun. He went to his old job, hunting. Fran would come back every now and then and bring back a lot of prey for everyone to improve their food.
After Fran himself removed himself from the whirlpool of public opinion, Avella and Lily had no reason to continue arguing.
Regardless of Fran's lack of words, it's really a good idea to find the core of the problem and directly remove the salary from the bottom of the cauldron.
Fran went hunting and lived a carefree life, but Egger's field team was missing an important main force.
For example, right now, if Fran is here, he and Egg can form a double sniper team, and combined with the frontal firepower of the field team, they can suppress almost all enemies.
The inverted triangle attack formation is an extremely classic and extremely effective combat formation.
The earliest Rabbit Army used the "three-three system" to beat Yingjiang violently in the pickle field. Then Yingjiang also learned this tactic. Among them, Yingjiang believed that the most efficient attack was the inverted triangle attack formation. Based on this, Yingjiang
Jiang invented various tactics.
Unfortunately, after the Gulf War, Yingjiang, who was obsessed with long-range strikes to destroy everything, gradually abandoned this tactic.
The field convoy headed east along the highway towards Rama City.
Rama City is located in the northeast of Jixi Town, but the state highway leading to it does not go all the way north. Instead, it first goes east around the mountains and then north. From the path, the road is detoured.
It's a big circle, but it saves money in terms of road construction costs and total driving time.
More than ten kilometers after leaving Jixi Town, the field team passed by a cremation site piled on the roadside. This was the place where the gospel team fought the infected people last time. A few kilometers further on, there was a farmhouse.
A little way further from the house is the boundary of the gospel team's safe zone.
The gospel team's safety zone is not a circle, it is more like a giant starfish that spreads its long tentacles along the road.
The edge of the core security zone is the tip of this tentacle. Invading the core security zone is piercing the flesh, and the gospel team will inevitably react violently.
"There are farmhouses ahead, and the enemy is very likely to ambush there." Iger said on the walkie-talkie. "Be alert. If you are attacked, fight back immediately and alternately cover your retreat."
"Team 2 received it, completed." the radio responded.
After a while, the radio rang, and it said: "Captain Egger, you haven't said 'finished' yet, it's finished."
"...finished." Egger was speechless.
"Haha, this is Peter." Bill introduced to Iger: "Pide has served in the National Guard for 4 years. In fact, he is very friendly in private. This is the only habit he cannot change."
The National Guard is a unique military force in America. It can be said to be either a state-owned militia or a military reserve. However, its actual work is mainly internal combat. It is equivalent to a mixture of the Central Plains' militia, armed police, and reserve forces.
The National Guard does not have much training. Members only need to spend 48 weekends a year participating in barracks training, and there is also a 15-day active duty training camp every year.
This special system is very attractive to many young people who want to join the military but don't want to go to war, or who want to get some wage subsidies but don't want to live too far from home.
But it can also be seen from the intensity of training that the National Guard members are very hydrated. Not to mention compared to the regular army, even compared to security guards like Erica who have received high-intensity training.
There is an obvious difference.
Of course, Iger already knew this kind of weakness from Vance.
Vance cursed more than once that America's military equipment was lax and that the training of the National Guard was not as good as that of their local militias.
That's of course.
The militiamen of the red states can be mobilized and go directly to the battlefield. This tradition has been preserved since the Civil War.
We could already see the farmhouse, and everyone's original intention of joking was immediately replaced by nervousness and seriousness.
If the other party has malicious intentions, then the farmhouse must be the first place for an ambush, because apart from these farmhouses, there are no decent bunkers for several kilometers nearby, let alone a "commanding height" exceeding 5 meters.
Of course, if the other party really ambush me in the farmhouse, Iger has a few small gifts to give them.
There are two AT4 rocket launchers placed in the compartment of the pickup truck. Egger tried it and his aiming ability can also be used on this weapon. He is confident that using the rocket launchers can ensure an effective hit at a distance of one kilometer.
When playing against snipers, wouldn't it be better to just use the rocket launcher?
