Half a month has passed since the gospel broadcast announced that Ramah City was a clearance zone that day.
In the past half month, countless fleets have been busy shuttling on the interstate highway between Puduo County and Rama City. In order to improve traffic efficiency, everyone even voluntarily pushed all scrapped vehicles to the side of the road.
This state highway has become one of the busiest traffic arteries at present, with traffic flowing day and night, and sometimes even traffic jams.
Pedestrians on the road were in a trance, as if they had returned to the life before the outbreak of the blood epidemic.
The fire in Pars Ridge was finally extinguished by the belated heavy rain. The heavy rain not only had a great impact on scavenging, but also had a great impact on the military's ongoing campaign.
Don't get me wrong, the impact of this heavy rain on the military's battle is positive, positive and helpful. If it weren't for the help of the heavy rain, their legions would not be able to escape with so many people.
With the complete collapse of the frontline regiment, this means that after more than ten days of fighting and heavy casualties, the military's surprise strategy finally failed.
For a time, the morale in the control area hit rock bottom.
The reason for the legion's failure was both accidental and inevitable. It could just be said to be bad luck, or it could be said to be the result of the military running out of energy.
During the more than ten days of the battle, the general staff had worked hard and tried every means to push the legion forward. However, no matter how brilliant the plan was, it was the soldiers who ultimately executed it.
The excellence of the soldiers can often make up for the mistakes of the generals.
vice versa.
The incompetence of soldiers can often eliminate the excellence of commanders.
People in the Central Plains have known this simple truth for a long time.
Otherwise, why would I have changed so many coaches, my stinky feet are still stinky, and my ranking is getting lower and lower.
At the beginning, everyone actually thought that the battle was secure and would be won.
At the beginning of the period, the legion quickly occupied the power plant and water plant closest to the control area without any fight.
Although these two factories could not be put into use immediately, they were successfully captured as the first important strategic goal, which still greatly improved the sluggish morale.
Then, the brutal battle began.
The second strategic location in this attack plan was the Tuxedon River Bridge.
This is also the most important strategic location in this attack plan. If we capture it, we can cut off the connection between the east and west banks of the Tucson River and ensure the security of the west bank.
After the legion arrived at the banks of the Tucson River, they were delayed too much in making plans, and as a result, they encountered a wave of infected people coming from Washington DC.
The infected people crowded together in dense crowds and crossed the Tucson River Bridge from the east bank to the west bank. They immediately faced the legions head-on.
In the face of a wave of infected people that was more than ten times its own size, the Legion took out all the weapons at its disposal, including even a real armored troop carrier.
However, under the precise attack of the special infected, the elite weapons of the Legion were quickly destroyed.
Relying only on the rifles in the hands of the soldiers and facing waves of infected people, the frontline commanders looked helplessly at the Tucson River Bridge several kilometers away, unable to push it past.
What's even more dangerous is that the tide of infected people is still coming through the Tucson River Bridge.
In the past, the defense against this huge wave of infected people relied on strong permanent fortifications, but now it can only be resisted with the help of defense lines built with the flesh and blood of soldiers.
Let alone advance, there is still a question of how long the legion can survive this wave of infected people.
With no other choice, Dina used her personal connections. She called Egger and tried her best to persuade Egger to use mental suppression to assist the legion.
After Egg hung up the phone on Dina, he called Maria again and asked Maria to send someone to deliver another bottle of combat medicine.
Last time, Maria asked someone to bring three bottles of combat medicine. As Egger led the expedition, Maria recovered the two useless bottles of combat medicine.
Maria takes very close care of the combat potions and manages each bottle personally. She does not want the tragedy to happen again due to negligence in management.
Father Egg is going to use the Holy Power again, which is great news for all survivors.
Gospel Radio quickly broadcast the news.
An hour later, the special car sent by Maria to deliver things arrived in Ross Town. A bottle of combat medicine was actually escorted by an entire security team.
After personally handing over the combat medicine to Father Egg, the security captain led the team members back to Jixi Town.
Egger returned to the room, first did some warm-up exercises, then prepared a lot of drinking water for himself, and finally sent Sister Catherine to guard the door.
After everything was ready, Egg drank the bottle of combat potion.
With the help of a powerful, chaotic, and unstoppable burst of mental power, Egg started to interfere with the infected for several hours.
Almost at the same moment, at the front line of the legion, the infected people who were still baring their teeth suddenly stopped moving.
Egg's blocking interference actually has a worse impact on infected people than disconnection.
After the infected are disconnected from the psychic network, they will act according to their most basic biological instincts.
This blocking interference does not eliminate the infected person from the psychic network, but blocks all commands and information. The infected person is actually in a state of control without command input.
To put it simply, they did not go offline, but the operator's mouse and keyboard were unplugged.
Suddenly a miracle came, and the legionnaires were greatly inspired.
Taking advantage of these god-given hours, the Legion finally killed tens of thousands of infected people.
After successfully controlling the Tuxon River Bridge, the Legion took the opportunity to eliminate the wave of infected people on the east bank who had not yet crossed the river.
In this battle, the Legion successfully annihilated a wave of super-infected people numbering between 20 and 30,000, and also captured the most important Tuxon River Bridge, successfully controlling the only channel for infected people to flow in from the east coast.
The morale of the regiment soared.
After building a firepower point that could cover the entire bridge and leaving behind enough troops to control the bridge, Lien Chan and Lien Ke's legions devoted all remaining troops to the last strategic target, Jintuo Town.
Jintuo Town is a large town on the west bank of the Tucson River.
There's actually nothing special about it, it's just very close to the Tucson River Bridge.
Outside of Jintuo Town, there are scattered settlements, and there is only one city dozens of kilometers to the north.
By occupying Jintuo Town, you can defend on the spot and block the infected from attacking from the north.
In this way, the military's control area is considered stable.
This battle has been surprisingly smooth so far, mainly because the Tuxen River Bridge, the most difficult task, was easily captured, and the legion still has a huge surplus of troops. The attack on Jintuo Town is almost a sure thing.
Just when it was thought that the battle was about to end successfully, the headquarters received a report from the frontline troops saying that countless infected people had been found in Jintuo Town.
This news caught everyone in the command room by surprise.
Every wave of infected people in the military-controlled area mainly comes from two directions, one is the city of Guysville in the north, and the other is Washington DC in the northeast.
As the wave of infected people continues to attack, the scattered infected people along the wave have long been carried away by the wave.
In fact, there are basically no isolated infected people now.
Either there isn't one, or there are thousands.
Therefore, the Legion occupied the water plant and power plant directly without triggering a battle.
In the Legion's plan this time, more than 80% of the difficulties lie in the Tucson River Bridge. Because of the wave of infected people in Washington DC, the number of infected people in each wave is very large, at least more than 10,000 people.
The scale of the infection wave in Guysville is only one-tenth of the infection wave in Washington DC, which is only 2,000.
As a result, according to reports from frontline troops, countless infected people were found in Jintuo Town, at least 50,000.
The Legion was caught off guard.
This is a new and unknown evolution of the infected.
Different areas have different proportions of screamers and infected people.
This has nothing to do with anything else, it simply has to do with the intensity of the fight with the survivors.
The intensity of the fighting with the survivors is very low. Even in a place like Rama City that has not been opened for several months, there are still a lot of Screamers.
In other areas where fighting is intense, such as Guysville and Washington DC, when a batch of Screamers are generated in these places, they will immediately send a batch of infected people with them, so the number of Screamers has not increased.
The cycle and size of the infected wave in these places are completely restricted by the Screamers.
The city of Geisville can only generate less than a dozen Screamers at a time, so the size of each wave of infected people is basically stable at less than two thousand.
But what no one expected was that due to an evolution of the Blood Plague Brain, the infected learned to transport troops over long distances.
There is a medium-sized Blood Plague Heart in Jintuo Town, and there is a larger Blood Plague Heart in Guysville City, but there is still a blank space of thirty or forty kilometers between the two.
It was usually the Screamers who led the infected across the empty space, from the city of Geisville to the town of Jintuo.
But after the Blood Plague Heart formed the Blood Plague Brain, its intelligence evolved tremendously.
In the absence of the Screamer, the Bloodplague Heart of Geiswell issues instructions to the infected to move straight in a certain direction.
The tide of infected moved in the direction pointed by the Blood Plague Heart until they escaped the control of the Blood Plague Heart in Geisville.
The infected who returned to stand-alone status continued to move forward according to the last order. After four or five days of trekking and passing through the empty area, they were immediately captured by the Heart of the Blood Plague in Jintuo Town.
If there are biologists or zoologists, they will be greatly surprised by this evolution of the Plague Brain. This is a manifestation of more advanced biological intelligence, a bit like throwing apples with two hands.
Throw the apple with one hand and catch it with the other hand.
This is a complex action that can only be performed by advanced intelligence. In the past, the migration of infected people was more like passing an apple hand by hand.
The upper limit of the infected people that the Heart of Blood Plague in Jintuo Town can command is about 100,000, so Jintuo Town has been filled with nearly 100,000 infected people. They are waiting in Jintuo Town, and when a screamer appears,
, which can immediately form a wave of infected people heading south.
The recent waves of infected people from the north all came from Jintuo Town, but because of everyone's inertial thinking and the fact that the cycle did not change much, they were not noticed by the scouts.
Now, the soldiers of the legion will never be curious about this evolution of the Blood Plague Brain. They just want to know why there are dense towns popping up when their superiors told them that this place was originally empty and they could just plant a flag and occupy it.
infected person.
Subsequently, the Legion launched a tug-of-war with the infected outside the town of Jintuo, which could be described as a flesh-and-blood noose.
Seeing the legionnaires who were being attacked by waves of infected people, Dina asked Egger for help again. However, this time even though Dina's cry was so touching and tear-jerking, Egger refused in one breath.
The ultimate move has a cooling and charging time, but Egger's mental weakness has not passed and he is lying in a corpse. He is completely unable to provide any help.
After the frontline legionnaires fell into a bitter fight, the commanders in the staff room gritted their teeth and moved forward in two waves, the reserve team in the control area and the guard team used for internal control.
Whether it's a war of refueling or a war of attrition, doing it all in one breath is more effective than filling it in bit by bit.
The infected people in Jintuo Town were attacked by almost all legionnaires. When they were about to be suppressed, a large wave of infected people who had migrated from Guysville City arrived.
Originally, the legionnaires were already extremely tired and suffered extremely serious casualties. Everyone was fighting with the last breath.
Endless infected people poured in from far away, and finally an army couldn't stand it anymore.
This army has suffered up to 70% casualties. When they saw that the number of infected people who were about to bottom out suddenly increased dozens of times, the soldiers' willpower collapsed.
The front-line commander could not maintain the formation, and the group of soldiers scrambled to escape from the temporary position.
With the defeat of this army, the front line attacking Jintuo Town collapsed instantly.
The staff in the command room cannot command the frontline commanders, and the frontline commanders cannot control their soldiers.
Everyone is begging their neighbors for fear that they will not be able to escape as quickly as others.
The field hospital originally set up at the rear of the position was abandoned. Hundreds of unarmed casualties and medical staff were placed in the field hospital. There was no time to evacuate after the peripheral legions fled. The entire field hospital was instantly overwhelmed by the incoming wave of infected people.
submerged.
With the fall of the field hospital, the morale of the soldiers further collapsed. This was no longer a rout, it was simply a battle royale.
Before the bridge guards guarding the Tucson River Bridge could react, their retreat path was already blocked by tens of thousands of infected people.
The bridge guarding troops were originally blocking the wave of infected people coming from Washington DC at the head of the West Bank bridge. Unexpectedly, the brother troops in the rear fled without even notifying them. The bridge guarding troops were attacked from both sides and were attacked from both sides.
The soldiers of the bridge guarding force used the fortifications to kill the infected as much as possible. As the ammunition was exhausted, the bridge guarding troops were all wiped out under the attack of the infected.
However, this did not end there. The tide of infected people moved southward along the road and captured the logistics base where a large amount of war preparation materials were piled up.
This battle cannot be described as a disastrous defeat. Not only did the attack fail, the infected launched a counterattack, and even the base camp in the rear was demolished by the infected.
If it hadn't been for a sudden heavy rain, the soldiers who were surrounded to death in the base camp might not have been able to escape.
The defeated troops abandoned their armor and fled to the controlled area, bringing the most tragic news to everyone.
The losses in this battle can no longer be described as heavy. The military deployed a total of 1,127 troops, 463 reserves, and 322 guards. In the end, 707 people successfully escaped, with a battle loss ratio of 63%.
The bad news is not over yet, the wave of infected people is heading south along the way and will arrive in as soon as four days.
The morale in the military-controlled areas is rapidly plummeting to a desperate level. Even the general urgently announced a doubling of food rations and provided cigarettes and alcohol to the soldiers, but it could not stop the falling morale.
A few hours after the regiment withdrew, a staff officer shot himself in the bathroom with his sidearm.
The loss rate of this staff officer's legion in this battle was as high as 75%. He felt that he had no face to face his brothers again.
A terrible silence fell over Clavelsburg, and there could never have been a worse time.
No, there are worse times than this.
After issuing the order to open unlimited rations, the general immediately ordered the quartermaster to distribute all weapons, arm all civilians who can be armed, and organize a new counterattack tomorrow.
When the general issued this order, everyone thought the general had gone crazy.
"Everyone listen to me!
Please believe me, I beg you to believe me, we must do this."
Under the attack of intense mental exhaustion and various negative emotions for more than ten days, Dina, who was already on the verge of mental collapse, saw an emotionally out-of-control staff officer pulling out his own gun at the general.
"Chug tug tug."
The guard moved faster, and before the staff officer had time to pull the trigger, he was shot to pieces by bullets.
"Dak Sim." The general looked at the staff officer who intended to assassinate him lying in a pool of blood, and he felt sad in his heart.
This is the first staff officer to publicly support him, and he is also his die-hard supporter.
The general waved his hand tiredly, and said to all the panicked people: "Rest today, and follow the order tomorrow."
At this moment, the mobile phone in the general's arms rang, and he quickly pressed the phone and walked out quickly.
Walking to the officers' lounge opposite the staff room, the general bit his tongue hard with his teeth to cheer himself up, and then answered the phone.
"Hello, sir.
Yes, our attack suffered a little setback this time.
Please rest assured that I am organizing a second offensive. We will go all out.
yes, sir.”
After hanging up the phone, the general squatted on the ground in pain with his head in his hands.
God! Why is this happening? Why is this happening?
