Section 325 Response
Just five or six meters away from Xu Renjie, a young female captain walked by quickly and accidentally tripped by the table beside her. She screamed and fell down, which immediately triggered a domino-like vibration effect. Everyone turned their attention to this side, some people began to scream, and a few panicked guys even took out their pistols and pointed the gun at the female captain who was getting up from the ground, in a mess.
"Mom is just coward who can't make a mistake, she's so fucked."
Xu Renjie's face turned pale and he was furious and swearing. He strode into the room, grabbed an officer who was trembling and unable to suppress himself, and slapped him a few times, like throwing garbage, and threw away the guy who was knocked out on the spot.
"Why are you panic? Take a good look at yourself, what are you all like?"
Xu Renjie's anger is not without reason.
Although he was the commander of the 71st Army, his direct control of this force only began a year before the outbreak of the virus.
Many people believe that the old troops established before the Black Era are stronger in combat power and organizational capabilities than the newly established troops after the outbreak of the virus. However, this is not the case. At least, this theory does not apply to the 71st Army.
The components of a unit are not just combatants. It also includes logistics, mechanics, publicity, communications and other aspects.
When Xu Renjie was just promoted to Lieutenant General and became the commander of the 71st Army, the situation he faced was very complicated. At that time, he was in peacetime. The successful rise of his general was actually the result of the transfer of powers between multiple parties, collisions with each other, and then compromises with each other. In short, the army at that time had 200,000 people under the leadership of the army, but the maximum number of troops that could be directly invested in the battle was no more than 30,000. In addition, about 50,000 people were "second-line troops" whose combat effectiveness was relatively weak and needed longer to move and assemble. In addition, the remaining part was all the so-called "logistics and propaganda personnel."
The 200,000-person army actually had six art troupes and more than 18,000 singing and dancing performers. These people occupied a considerable share of huge military spending and spent up to billions of dollars in the name of performing training to purchase clothing, tour performances, etc.
Xu Renjie has seen several performances of art troupes. To be fair, those performances are indeed excellent works, and they do have a strong appeal to cleanse the soul in praising the great motherland and XXism. However, singing and dancing are not real bullets after all, and various art troupes have performed in the army very few times. Compared with grassroots troops using dance art to comfort soldiers, the so-called "military artists" are more keen to go out of the army and go to the vast world outside to deal with nobles and wealthy merchants with more artistic appreciation ability.
The reason is simple: no matter how well you sing in front of ordinary soldiers, you will get nothing more than warm applause. But once you get the approval of "upper-class people", you will get real money and all kinds of media have overwhelming praise and reports.
Xu Renjie has several major general-level artists under his command. Xu Renjie can see them at every New Year's party in the army. These people always act very active, talking about Mozart and Beethoven in public, and enthusiastically discussing the difference between foreign opera and his own Peking Opera. Although Xu Renjie himself can play the violin and play the harmonica well, he never thinks this is a capital worth boasting. He even wants to ask the other party: Do you know the difference between the major guns since the founding of the People's Republic of China? What is the actual operation method? How many shooting results can be played on the shooting range?
The situation of the logistics department is not much better than that of the publicity department.
There were also various soldiers in military uniforms but had never touched guns. They were either products of gifts and bribes, or relatives of an official. Many department heads and officials even specially airborne them on top of them. Apart from showing off their power and showing off their airs, they would not know anything else and would not care about anything.
Xu Renjie really wanted to kick all these people out of the army, or arrest Yu Qian and shoot them on any charge.
This kind of idea can only exist in the brain and cannot become a reality.
Whether it is propaganda or logistics, a large number of non-combatants in various departments have a close relationship. Any move to one of them will attract strong counterattacks from the other party. The entire country's officialdom is corrupt, and Xu Renjie can do nothing alone. He must also smile at the "singer major general" who look down on ordinary soldiers and thinks that soldiers do not understand art, and turn a blind eye to the logistics officers who can only drive white-licensed cars on the streets to rush around.
Thinking of this, Xu Renjie felt his anger getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, he roared and rushed to a young major at a strange speed. He waved his fist heavily and smashed the major's head like a watermelon. Blood and white brain matter splattered onto the three-dimensional screen next to it, slowly sliding down.
The major is the immediate relative of an official in the military department. Xu Renjie had long wanted to deal with this ignorant guy. Now, he just happened to hit the gun.
With a little bit of anger, Xu Renjie grabbed the major's neck and threw the body hard towards the gate. Suddenly, a strange impact came from the corridor outside.
"A bunch of useless waste remember your identities. You are soldiers, not civilians, nor cowards-----"
After exhaling a long breath, Xu Renjie turned his sharp eyes to the duty officer next to him: "Tell me what is happening now? I want the most accurate and detailed information."
The fierce and cruel methods made everyone in the command center suffocate, and the chaotic and noisy sounds disappeared immediately. People were concentrating and holding their breath. Although they were still afraid, the object had changed from a mutated creature to Xu Renjie.
The duty consultant calmed down and hurried to the nearest surveillance screen, quickly clicked on several image frames, and different surveillance scenes appeared on the screen.
"According to the report five minutes ago, the Biosurgeon Forward has arrived at Camp 22. It is only six kilometers away from the base city. I have ordered that the checkpoints along the way to give up resistance, and all personnel will return to the base city immediately, or move in other directions by themselves. As a supplement to emergency monitoring, three airships have been sent to patrol the surrounding areas."
"The situation in the civilian areas in the city was very bad. After the alarm was released, it immediately caused large-scale chaos. Many people asked to leave the base city. We have closed the first cordon connecting the military-controlled areas, and an armored brigade is responsible for guarding them, and sent special personnel to persuade the civilians. Now, the situation is gradually eased. But I am not sure how long the stable situation can last? Once the mutant creatures start to hit the city, the situation is likely to worsen again."
"The outer wall has entered a state of full alert. All defense facilities are in place. There is no shortage of personnel in the garrison troops. Two divisions stationed in the base city are rushing to various defense areas. Emergency plans have been launched in the systems of water supply, electricity, medical assistance, etc. Just look at the situation in the military controlled areas, there will be no problems."
Xu Renjie glanced at the duty officer who was already sweating from his forehead, and said nothing, and focused his attention on the surveillance screen.
All these measures have been practiced repeatedly in advance and are already very familiar. The staff on duty is just implemented step by step, and there is nothing to praise.
After browsing the relevant records quickly, Xu Renjie noticed the initial warning message. He turned around, pointed to the text record on the screen, and said, "Check me the airship CI09, move quickly. In addition, he ordered all combat troops stationed around the base city to start shrinking and rely on the existing fortifications to launch defense on the spot."
The signal was quickly turned on, and a terrified lieutenant appeared on the screen.
His salute was obviously trembling. At this moment, the commander's majesty was far inferior to the horror brought by the mutant creatures.
After all, the former is at most just to remove oneself from his post and investigate, while the latter can eat up all his body and eat every piece of meat.
Xu Renjie frowned and did not scold him loudly, but suppressed the anger he wanted to have and tried to ask questions in a calm and calm tone.
At this time, roaring will only cause negative effects. There is no benefit to changing the situation.
"Tell me how all this happened? Why did those monsters suddenly run out of the abandoned city?"
More than half an hour has passed since the initial warning was issued.
This period of time is enough for the CU19 airship crew to analyze the monitoring information and find the cause of the accident.
A series of surveillance images after Wang Jingjing entered the abandoned city appeared on the screen. All the pictures were processed in detail and were very clear, and she could see every move and face.
Xu Renjie's face was always gloomy. Of course he would not forget that the commander of the 104th Combat Engineer Corps, who was just ordered to be shot dead some time ago, Wang Jing calmed the woman and found the Military Law Department of the Group Army more than once for this, and even wanted to rush into the headquarters to find him to explain. Although he was blocked by the guards, the surveillance camera captured all records about her.
In a specially processed and enlarged photo, Xu Renjie saw the small iron can in Wang Jingjing's hand.
His eyes suddenly became bulging, and his emotions became furious.
"A bastard, she can actually get pheromones for war use. Where did she get such things? Check immediately and check that no one who has been in contact with her can let go."
"Catch everyone in her family"
"All personnel in the logistics department are reviewed. Especially the application form for receiving the war pheromone, find them all and check them one by one. I want to shoot all these guys and throw them out to feed those mutant monsters.
It is not difficult to find out the truth, and Xu Renjie's orders were also firmly implemented. However, neither the nor the remedy could save the situation. The biological frenzy had left the abandoned city, which flooded every camp and checkpoint along the way, and would soon reach the periphery of the base city.
Xu Renjie studied in detail the "moon tide" in the Battle of Hefei and the Northern War Zone. In order to deal with similar situations that may have occurred in the New Chengdu Base City, he took many preventive measures in advance.
The current outer wall of the base city has been equipped with flame vents, and the key defense areas are equipped with sulfuric acid bottles. The city gate bearings have been repeatedly reinforced, and anti-corrosion coatings have been added on the surface of the door wall. The entire urban defense system has been reintegrated, and a large number of guard towers have been added to civilian areas and military areas. If the defense forces cannot resist the attack and are rushed into the city by mutant creatures, they will be hit by all-round attacks from various floors and defense points. Especially in the south facing the abandoned city, Xu Renjie has carried out a comprehensive transformation of the main street since last month. There is a dense fire network there, and it can also shoot fragmented bombs at emergency moments. According to the results of computer deduction, if all defense facilities are fully renovated, the base city can withstand a craze of mutant creatures of about 600,000 to 800,000.
The CU19 airship is monitoring over the abandoned city. According to the data they sent back, the scale of the biological frenzy triggered by Wang Jingjing is about 500,000. Although there are still some subsequent mutant creatures, the number is already very scattered, not as concentrated as the initial part.
Five hundred thousand...
A helpless and bitter smile appeared on Xu Renjie's face.
This damn woman will really cause trouble for herself.
If she had known that her desire for revenge was so strong, she would have killed all her family and left no one.
If she had acted revenge later, she could have dealt with it herself.
But Wang Jingjing chose now.
As of yesterday, the defense renovation project of the new Chengdu base city has only been completed by six percent. Although the direction of the mutant creature attack has been taken into account from the location of the abandoned city, the project will first be launched from the south of the base city, but the actual coverage area is still not large, and the containment of the biological frenzy that breaks into the city is limited.
With the current comprehensive strength of the new Chengdu base city, it is impossible to deal with this biological frenzy, let alone concentrate troops and fight against them in the wild.
Xu Renjie made a judgment.
"Check for help from the military headquarters and ask all the nearby theater troops to send reinforcements as soon as possible
After giving all the orders briefly and urgently, Xu Renjie, with a solemn expression, quickly walked through the hall, walked into the independent office connected to the command center, and closed the door heavily.
The moment the door closed, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Xu Renjie's forehead without any warning. The wet feeling made him feel uncomfortable, so he reached out to apply it and found that the part of his sweat had extended to his neck and his entire collar was soaked.
Commanders are also humans, and they are also afraid.
There are 500,000 mutant creatures, and this number is tingling just by thinking about it.
In front of subordinates, Xu Renjie must maintain absolute calmness and majesty. Otherwise, he would have lost before the battle was fought.
He shook his head hard and cleared all kinds of chaotic negative emotions out of his mind. Xu Renjie walked to his desk and pressed the communication screen switch hard, and Wang Qinian was soon displayed.
"Fatty, I'm in big trouble. This time, you have to help me no matter what."
As he said that, Xu Renjie quickly uploaded all kinds of intelligence and data he collected and passed it to Wang Qinian as quickly as possible.
The Fat Dean's complexion is much better than before. His face is rosy, full of energy, and he looks a little proud.
"A biological frenzy of 500,000? Hahahaha, I'm lucky."
Wang Qinian's vicious language style did not change at all: "Let's say, what method did you use to anger those mutant creatures? You are truly in trouble this time."
"Don't talk about boring nonsense. Find a way to help me."
Xu Renjie's face turned red. He looked at the time when the lower right corner of the screen was beating, and the thick blood vessels on both sides of his forehead were raised. The roar and begging tone were mixed with each other: "I have asked the military headquarters for help. You know, those guys will not have any practical actions at all. Even if they really sent reinforcements, they would not be able to receive the near-thirst. Nearly the war zone would probably not be able to send reinforcements. At most, they could only attack and restrain the abandoned city from the side of the abandoned city."
The old fat man smiled unscrupulously and said, "Don't just pick these useless words. You must have your own trump card. New Chengdu is not New Nanyang, and its defense is not as simple as it seems. Regardless of other things, you have accumulated a lot of energy potions in your hands, enough for you to hold on for a while."
"I really have no choice but to ask for help from you."
Xu Renjie said in a sad tone: "Help, there are millions of people in and outside the base city. Are you watching them die? The energy potion is indeed very effective, but I have less than 6,000 standard units on my hands. Once those monsters rushed in, it would be too late to say anything."
"It's too late for me to go there now."
Wang Qinian put away his teasing expression and his expression became serious: "There are not many "black dragons" in my hands, and there is almost no effect in fighting. I really can't help you in this kind of thing. You have found the wrong partner for help."
Xu Renjie was stunned and then reacted: "What do you mean is, should I ask Su Hao for help?"
"Who else besides that kid?"
Wang Qinian curled his lips disdainfully: "He has a total of ten new divisions on his hands, and the distance is closer than me. I think you are so anxious that you are burning your mind and can't even figure out such things. He should be not far from you. Maybe he is on the way."
Although the old fat man's words were unpleasant, Xu Renjie felt his eyes lit up.
He suddenly remembered that just last week, the 505th Army sent a telegram, claiming that because the terrain of the new Guiyang is complex and not conducive to daily training, some of the new recruits were specially transferred to Kunming.
Xu Renjie didn't pay much attention at that time, and only thought that Su Hao was playing with some kind of tricks on the surface. After Wang Qinian reminded him, he remembered that the "new recruits" mentioned in the telegram should be near the Xin Chengdu base city.
The reason why Su Hao was not listed as the target of seeking help was because the 505th Army had just been established. In subjective consciousness, Xu Renjie instinctively regarded it as a newly established army with poor combat effectiveness. Instead of letting others come to die for nothing, it is better to seek help from the more powerful Wang Qinian.
