Volcanic city.
In Ferdinand's banquet hall, a group of military officers gathered together.
Just as Tang Zheng expected, Ferdinand and the others were also holding a war meeting.
"Generals, our tactics have been formulated."
"The troops will set out to cross the river at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Because it is difficult to move through the snow in the wilderness, the march will be divided into two sections. At four o'clock tomorrow night, they will arrive at the Black Mountain Forest Farm near the abandoned mine in the middle of the wilderness to rest. That place There are no more zombies, so we can take a good rest before marching for four hours tomorrow morning to reach the scheduled combat position."
"Our first attack target is Tang Zheng's University City base."
"This base is the largest in the north, second only to Tang Zheng's Zhuguang City base. Tang Zheng deployed a company of city guards there, and there are also some retired troops here who can also be organized at any time, but the number There won’t be many, and the weapons and equipment don’t have much firepower.”
"Although they are not large in number, the combat effectiveness of the Light Chasing Army is still not weak. When our troops go out, we must not relax and underestimate the enemy. We must go all out to complete this battle with blitzkrieg."
"The University Town base is less than 300 kilometers away from Light Chaser City, and the estimated time for our attack on the University Town base is ten o'clock in the morning. Helicopter troops will be dispatched at seven o'clock tomorrow morning to cooperate with the armored forces in coordinated operations."
"I ask you to end the battle at the University City base within half an hour. Then, in addition to the troops staying at the University City base, our eleven regiments will spread out and attack the remaining twelve bases."
"We must capture all these bases before dark."
"After this battle, Tang Zheng's rule in the north will fall apart. He will send troops to support us, and we will wait for work to completely annihilate his troops and lay the foundation for taking the Light Chaser City in the future."
"Have you mastered the combat tasks and time of each department?"
"Mastered!"
The officers below Ferdinand answered in unison, all looking more relaxed.
It’s no wonder they think so. If 50,000 troops, 300 tanks, and 70 helicopters go out to fight against a light-seeking army of more than 20,000 people, it would be a surprise if they don’t win.
Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction when he saw this: "Let's all go down and start on time tomorrow. Qin Xiaolou will stay for a while."
His officers left, but Qin Xiaolou stayed.
Ferdinand looked at him and asked, "Has that troublesome woman been dealt with?"
Qin Xiaolou smiled and nodded: "Although it was a bit troublesome, we finally got it done. That woman is also ruthless. She bribed the guards here a long time ago and then sneaked in. She came to me covered in explosives. , insisted on getting the antidote from me, so as a last resort, I had to give him a bottle of special antidote."
Ferdinand was stunned for a moment: "Isn't there no antidote to the drug for mental hallucinations? What did you give her?"
Qin Xiaolou showed a sinister look: "She can't hide ordinary things from her. This is a mixture of hallucination drugs and zombie viruses. As long as she takes this antidote, she will definitely turn into a zombie. "
Ferdinand grinned: "Then will she take it? I think she doesn't trust us."
"I think so. Psychotropic drugs will continue to destroy a person's body. Her body won't be able to hold on for too long. Even if she doesn't use it now, one day she will use it sooner or later in order to have hope of living."
Ferdinand nodded: "That's fine, alas. It's a pity. Luo Qiuwan is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, but it's a pity that she has a strong temper. Such a person will not live long anyway. Let her go, she Where have people gone?”
"The helicopter flew in the direction of Han Yue, but I don't know where exactly she went, but it doesn't matter. If she doesn't take the medicine, she will die. If she takes the medicine, she will become a zombie. There is no way for her to survive."
At this point, seeing that Ferdinand still looked a little regretful, Qin Xiaolou added: "Lord City Lord, there are many beautiful women. Although it is hard to find them like Luo Qiuwan, many people come to our Volcano City now. I'll keep an eye out for you, and I'll definitely be able to find a beauty you like."
Ferdinand nodded: "We'll talk about it later. Let's win the current battle first. Go tell the troops on night watch to be alert and don't create any traps for me before the big battle."
"Don't worry, City Lord, I'll go and convey it."
Qin Xiaolou walked out of the room, and the wind and snow outside rushed towards his face.
He was shivering from the cold and hurried to his residence.
As for Ferdinand's order, he asked the guards to convey it to him.
In this kind of weather where no one goes out, it is impossible for any accident to happen.
The Light Chasing Army is thousands of kilometers away, and it is completely impossible to understand what is going on here.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Daliao's troops quietly left the volcano city.
They came out of the city gate and came directly to the seemingly deserted port.
Someone has been waiting here for a long time to welcome the arrival of the troops and report them.
"The thickness of the ice on the Tongtian River has exceeded one meter, which is fully capable of withstanding large troops crossing the river."
The officer commanding the troops asked: "Where is the guard post opposite?"
"It was captured twenty minutes ago, and we have also deployed people to pretend to be their sentry. Someone at their university town base will talk to the sentry at eight o'clock in the morning. At that time, our people will tell them that everything is normal. They only have At nine o'clock in the evening, when the guard changes, coded conversations will be used, and by then everything is too late."
The commander of the army was overjoyed: "Okay, then we will cross the river."
A large number of heavy trucks carrying tanks began to cross the river.
Then came the armored vehicles and the heavily covered personnel carriers.
Some vehicles were equipped with artillery behind them, and soldiers sat in the vehicles one by one, following the troops across the river.
The crossing operation lasted for nearly two hours. When the sky became brighter, the large troops crossed the river.
Ferdinand was in his city lord's palace, watching the troops successfully cross the river, feeling very good.
It's freezing cold in Daliao, and I've longed for the vast and warm land of Hanyue.
Over the years, this wish has never been realized, but today, it will become a reality in his hands.
After taking over Tang Zheng's land and population, he will become the largest warlord in this land. Taking over the power of Daliao in the future is no longer a distant dream.
The days are extremely short in winter. It doesn’t get bright until almost eight o’clock in the morning, and it’s completely dark by five o’clock in the evening.
News came back from the front that Volcano City's expedition troops had completed the first leg of their march after going through untold hardships.
They trekked hundreds of kilometers through the wilderness and arrived at their first resting place, the Black Mountain Forest Farm.
Montenegro Forest Farm is located on the outskirts of Montenegro County, Lombard City.
Heishan County was originally a major coal-producing county, and the coal output in the Heishan mining area was very high.
However, it has almost been mined in recent years, and there is a large abandoned mining area nearby.
Resource-based cities are facing transformation when their resources are exhausted. Heishan County began to develop animal husbandry, agriculture, and timber exports.
Heishan Forest Farm was built later. It has a small population but high timber production.
There are not many zombies there, and they have been cleared out long ago since the apocalypse began. This has also become the foothold of Daliao troops.
When the troops arrived at the Heishan Forest Farm, they immediately started cooking. The meal ended at seven o'clock in the evening, and the Daliao people began to rest after a tiring day.
However, the commander of their unit was still very cautious and did a very good job on duty at night.
Every tank or armored vehicle stays next to the residence of resting soldiers, ensuring that they can get up and board the vehicle at any time.
The troops responsible for night duty must also be on standby at any time, and radar monitoring vehicles are in operation to ensure that early warning can be issued as soon as possible in case of an attack.
After all, he was far away from Daliao now, so he didn't dare to be careless.
In the volcanic city far away in Daliao, the helicopter troops have not yet been dispatched.
The large force will not arrive at the scheduled battlefield until tomorrow morning. They can just set off from Volcano City at seven o'clock tomorrow.
So compared to the previous army units, these air forces were too easy.
At eight o'clock in the evening, all the military camps had turned off the lights.
Only the airport's sentry still stood guard on the airport's sentry tower, scanning the distance with a searchlight from time to time to see if anyone acting suspiciously was approaching.
However, this kind of scanning is still a bit formal, and what can be observed is limited.
Volcano City has a unique location, located on the border of Hanyue and Daliao. There are almost no threats to their north, and several bases are far smaller than Volcano City.
It had been very peaceful here for a long time, so the sentry wasn't too concerned.
They have regulations after nightfall that they must turn on searchlights for observation once every three hours, once at nine o'clock, once at twelve o'clock, and once at three o'clock in the morning.
In the past, this system had become superficial, and there were times when the sentries were empty.
It's just that the war is about to begin. Today, an order was issued and everyone must strictly implement it. The sentries only went to their posts as a last resort.
There was nothing they could do, after all, the winter in Volcano City was too cold.
Especially after nightfall, the north wind howls, mixed with snowflakes, and it hurts like a knife.
The sentry was warming himself by the fire indoors, feeling cold even though he was wrapped in his military coat. Under normal circumstances, he would never come out.
In the sentry building on the north side of the airport, two sentries were drinking Daliao's specialty liquor and eating grilled fish.
At nine o'clock, one of the sentries had no choice but to stand up and open the door of the sentry tower.
As soon as he opened the door, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew over, making him shiver all over.
I ran two steps quickly and came to the searchlight. I stretched out my hand to turn on the searchlight. In a short time, my hand felt numb and tingling.
"Damn, this sentry system is really terrible. We are a volcanic city with thousands of miles of uninhabited land to the north and the Tongtian River blocking it to the south. Who can threaten us? They actually ask me to come out to stand sentry in the middle of the night. Their officials are here Drinking, playing cards and playing with women in the house, Farke!”
The searchlight was turned on, and a ray of white light penetrated the dark night, and the light fell on the coniferous forest area not far away.
"Look, look, what can be found in such a ghost place? Wilderness tiger? Brown bear? No, no, no, the brown bear has hibernated. They all know how to sleep in tree holes. I am worse than a bear."
He paused briefly as the light swept across some rolling hills of snow.
"Oh, look, the snow in that place is piled up into mounds, and they are quite regular, in rows."
He glanced back and forth twice, and his companions in the room were already impatient.
"Randall, can you finish it? My eyeballs are going to be frozen. If you don't come back, I'll drink your wine too."
"Oh no! That's mine."
Randall immediately turned off the searchlight and ran back to the watchtower.
The two sentries raised glasses to drink against the cold winter night.
As for turning on the lights at twelve o'clock, that is three hours later. Someone will come to change the guard then. They are only responsible for the first half of the night.
To be able to achieve this level, they are already very good.
What they didn't know was that after the sentry returned, the snowdrift that seemed to have been blown out by the wind quietly moved.
