Chapter 136 (1/2)

Outside Nanyang City, in a military camp less than ten miles away.

In a simple marching car, several people in military uniforms sat around the conference table, staring at the TV screen on the wall. The screen shows the image in Nanyang city. The image is transmitted back through the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft suspended over Nanyang city. If Lu Ziming sees these equipment, he may be angry and jealous, ”why is the gap between people so big?”

Stationed outside Nanyang city is the 0213 mechanized division of the 13th army of Jinan Military Region. The number of this division reached 20000 in the civilized period, and now it has expanded to nearly 30000. However, it is full of recruits, and less than 20% of the soldiers with real combat effectiveness.

It is the military's limit to retain 20% of the combat effectiveness. Some unimportant legions don't even have 10% of the combat effectiveness, and the soldiers can't even grasp the gun.

Peng Biao, political commissar of the 0213 division, with a tuft of beard on his mouth, calmly pointed to the screen around him and said: ”It took us a month and a half to restore the number of troops to the level before the virus. During this period, through the elimination of zombies in the periphery of Nanyang, we not only eliminated a large number of zombies, but also improved the combat capability of recruits. Now it is time to launch a general attack on the urban area of Nanyang.”.

”Political commissar Peng, the recruits have only been trained for one and a half months, and the casualties are heavy. Are we too anxious?” At the head of the conference table, there was a thin and capable man with no expression on his face and a faint smile on his mouth. This man was Qi Xingguo, commander of the second brigade. He was called Qi monkey. He was cunning and clever. He was the most observant and jumped out to try his way first.

”Hurry! Do you think we don't have this strength, or do you think we can't win the war?” Peng Biao said with a sneer at the corners of his mouth.

Qi Xingguo refused to show weakness and said, ”I don't mean that. Just now political commissar Peng himself said that there are more than one million zombies in Nanyang city. If we count the scattered zombies around, the number should reach more than two million. Now we have only 30000 recruits. It's no problem to fight a local battle, but we have to launch a general attack on Nanyang... It seems that the time is in a hurry.” 。

”Are you questioning the orders of the military headquarters?”

”No!”

Peng Biao waved the document in his hand and said, ”the military headquarters called and asked us to end the battle in Nanyang as soon as possible. Do you know how much impact the restoration of a big city will have on the war in the whole country? This battle is decided by the military headquarters. If anyone has any objection, they can directly put it forward to the military headquarters”.

A few days ago, the Jinan Military Region decided to launch a small-scale battle in Nanyang. The battle of division level units was indeed a small and no smaller battle for the Jinan Military Region. It was also a tentative attack.

The reason why Jinan military region launched such a campaign at this time is entirely out of political considerations. The successful recovery of a medium-sized city is not only a strategic need, but also a vital encouragement to the restoration of confidence on the whole battlefield.
