Chapter 319: Creek Area Operation Plan
Given the massive number of zombies in the creek area, the nature of this recovery battle is destined to be different from that of Qinghe Town.
The battle in Qinghe Town will be short and intense, after all, there are only about 70,000 to 80,000 zombies. However, the battle in Xishui District may become a protracted war, as it is conservatively estimated that there are millions of zombies!
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, this statement is by no means a joke, so in the choice of battlefield, the Operations Department chose to open up multiple battlefields separately and annihilate the enemy separately!
Although this would lengthen the supply line, it would ensure the safety of the base camp and would not cause any danger due to failure in the battle to recapture the stream area!
At the same time, there is an important tactical step in the plan, which is to send out the Fire Commando before the battle starts, conduct special operations by helicopter rappelling, and blow up the Creek Bridge connecting the center of the Creek District and the Yeda gathering place.
Use the stream river as a natural barrier to separate the zombies from the gathering place of the Night Army, and add another lock to the safety of the base camp!
Because after the two combined battalions go out to fight, Yeda's defense force will be unprecedentedly weak and will be completely unable to cope with the large tide of zombies!
So even if this will cause a lot of trouble for subsequent attacks, the stream bridge must be blown up!
After all, safety is paramount!
......
The Xishui District is not a monolithic entity, but is composed of five townships and four towns!
They are Gaoshan Township, Mengkai Township, Jiuan Township, Hushui Township, Maling Township, Maipi Town, Dangxiang Town, Yanlou Town, and Qingshi Ancient Town.

The line connecting Xishui North Road → Dingguang Avenue → National Highway 212 (referred to as Xi 2 Line) divides the entire Xishui area into two parts from north to south. The night university gathering place on the side of Xishui North Road is almost located in the center of this dividing line.
The distribution of towns and villages on the west side of the dividing line from north to south is: Jiuan Township → Maipi Town → Hushui Township → Dangxiang Town → Yanlou Town → Maling Township
The townships on the east side of the dividing line are distributed from north to south as follows: Xishui District Wetland Park, Mengkai Township, Qingshi Ancient Town, and Gaoshan Township.
In the combat plan for the Xishui area drawn up by the agency, the first areas to be recovered were Jiuan Township and Maipi Town, located in the northwest of the Yeda gathering area, and then the attack would be carried out from north to south, first recovering the area west of Xi Line 2 (dividing line).
At that time, the Combined Battalion 1 and the Combined Battalion 2 will exit from the north gate of Ye University. The Combined Battalion 1 will refuel at the Zhoubang Petrochemical Interchange Gas Station, and the Combined Battalion 2 will refuel at the Zhoubang Petrochemical Cattle Breeding Gas Station.
After completing the fuel replenishment, the two combined battalions headed north to the Yeshi Ring Expressway, then turned onto Ye'an Avenue, exited the expressway at Longcang Village, continued on the X108 County Road, and finally split up at Maipi Town!
The first combined battalion launched operations on the spot in Maipi Town, while the second combined battalion took the X124 county road from Maipi Town to Jiuan Township!
After reading through the entire battle plan, Gu Chengyuan realized how serious the mistake he had made subconsciously was.
I always put the creek area and the millions of zombies together, subconsciously thinking that they are an inseparable group.
There is an essential difference between the Xishui District and the district in the center of the night market, both in terms of population density and the density of the administrative districts under its jurisdiction.
Because Xishui District is located in the suburbs, its constituent units are towns, rather than a series of closely connected streets, and the distances between towns are relatively scattered.
Although according to the statistics, there are one million zombies in the Xishui District, but in fact they are distributed in the five townships and four towns under its jurisdiction!
Therefore, as long as you don’t start from the center of the area, it is basically unlikely to attract millions of zombies to attack at the same time!
The brigade headquarters took advantage of this point in its battle plan. They started from Jiuan Township, the northernmost part of the Xishui area, and fought from north to south. This way, the more they fought, the fewer zombies there would be, and the threat of the zombies would become smaller and smaller!
...
After thoroughly analyzing the battle plan and making sure there were no questions, Gu Chengyuan picked up the pen and quickly signed his name.
"The plan is great, thank you for your hard work!"
Wu Bin, who was always paying attention to Gu Chengyuan, quickly stood up from the sofa and took the plan handed over by Gu Chengyuan.
"It's not hard, it's all about serving the leader!"
"Commander, I will go and distribute this battle plan first so that the troops below can start preparing!"
"Well, are the fuel supplies sufficient? I see two refueling points in the plan. We have been using them for a long time at the gathering place, right?"
When it comes to the fuel issue, Chief of Staff Wu Bin almost thinks about it.
"There is no problem with fuel supply. We have found several refueling points along Xishui North Road!"
"Well, as long as you know the answer to this question!"
Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan thought it was true. There were indeed many gas stations on Xishui North Road, not only state-owned ones, but also many private ones.
Moreover, although the troops have a large number of vehicles, the total number of vehicles and equipment of a combined battalion is about 300, but the actual consumption is not large.
Armored units such as the 99A main battle tank, 04A infantry fighting vehicle, and self-propelled mortars are usually under maintenance and are rarely used except during combat.
The only vehicle that moves frequently is the SX2306 military transport vehicle of the logistics support company, but its range on a tank of fuel is only about to kilometers!
The current route is from the night school gathering place to Ye'an New District, or from the night school gathering place to Qinghe Town. The distance between these two routes is about 20 kilometers.
On average, it takes about ten trips to refuel, and not all SX2306 military transport vehicles are running. On weekdays, there are only about ten vehicles running back and forth every day. And with the end of the Qinghe Town Recapture War, the number of vehicles running has become even fewer.
So Gu Chengyuan had not been worried about fuel before, but he suddenly asked about it now because the army’s next phase of the Qinghe Town recapture battle would definitely increase fuel consumption!
In accordance with the flexibility and maneuverability required by the combat plan, the mechanized combined battalion's movement volume increased dramatically during the battle to recapture the creek area, and the amount of fuel consumed will certainly increase as well!
However, since the Chief of Staff said there was no problem, it must have been inspected and measured on the spot. Given the quality of the Operations Department, it is impossible for there to be any mistake on such an important issue!
After Wu Bin left and returned to the Operations Department, he immediately ordered the Operations Department to issue combat orders to each combat unit!
Immediately, the combat missions belonging to the First Combined Battalion, the Second Combined Battalion, and the Spark Commando were transmitted in the dual form of the communication system and paper materials!
...
"Damn it! The war is finally starting! All the idiots are idle!"
"Xiao Aben! Gather all the company commanders and come to the battalion headquarters for a meeting!!!"
The moment he received the combat order, Lu Chong jumped up from the recliner in the battalion headquarters, as if he had been electrocuted, with visible excitement on his face!
"If I don't beat up zombies and slap people for a day, I'll feel itchy all over my body!"
