Chapter 498 Emergency Disposal

3:45 AM
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing whistle was heard in Zhouchuan Airport, waking up many sleeping soldiers of the 4th Combined Battalion.
Li Kun and Zhao Gang sat up like springs as if by reflex, and in a few breaths they went from being dazed to being sober.
Boom boom~~
The headlights on the top of the terminal lit up one after another from left to right. The huge light stimulated many soldiers who had just woken up and made it almost impossible for them to open their eyes.
"Old Li, Old Zhao!"
"problem occurs!!!"
Lu Chong, dressed neatly in military uniform, was jogging in a hurry, shouting as he ran, with a very ugly expression.
"What happened?"
Seeing this, Li Kun and Zhao Gang, who had never seen Lu Chong in such a state, became nervous subconsciously and hurriedly began to put on their equipment.
"Something happened at the Zhanjiang gathering place! We were tricked!"
"The zombies there are poisonous! I just received news that most of the 7000-man defense force has collapsed due to fungal infection!"
"The remaining situation is unclear and not optimistic!!"
"The defense line is in danger! The defense line is in danger!!"
Hearing this, Li Kun and Zhao Gang's faces darkened.
This was indeed a big deal, so big that Lu Chong couldn't even swear!
"So what do we do now? Do you mean we take over?"
"Yes! Not just you, I've already asked for help from the Chongyi Military Division on the way here! I think it would take your four battalions plus the three battalions to barely be enough!"
"Four battalions plus three battalions?" Li Kun frowned and calculated quickly.
"You mean that in addition to the infantry in our battalion, the rest of the tanks, artillery, and logistics soldiers must also go?"
In a combined battalion, a regular infantry company has only about 400 to 500 people, and even two combined battalions have less than 1000 infantrymen!
If we put such a small number of people into the huge gathering place of Zhanjiang, there will probably still be a big gap!
In particular, Li Kun judged based on his own experience that when one case of infection is found in a certain area, there is a high probability that the entire area has already fallen!
Therefore, in his opinion, those remaining in the Zhanjiang cluster will most likely also be in trouble, it is just a matter of when the onset of the disease will occur!
Of course Lu Chong also understood what Li Kun was thinking, that the three infantrymen of his airborne assault brigade were probably in great danger!
But the most important thing at the moment is not the heartache of casualties, but to complete the combat mission!
The Zhanjiang gathering place must not fall! This is the highest instruction from the leader!
Even if many people die, even if Lu Chong himself carries the gun, the Zhanjiang gathering place must not be lost!
So even though it was like feeding ginseng to dogs and was very difficult to talk about, Lu Chong could only bite the bullet and nod his head.
"Yes!"
After getting Lu Chong's definite answer, Li Kun stopped talking and directly picked up the walkie-talkie to mobilize the troops.
"Everyone from the Fourth Combined Battalion, please wear chemical protection gear and carry individual combat equipment. Meet at the airport runway in ten minutes!"
"Again, everyone! Wear chemical protection gear, carry individual combat equipment, and assemble at the Red Queen Airport runway in ten minutes!!"
..
After he finished speaking, Li Kun raised his head and looked at Lu Chong. The two looked at each other. Lu Chong's eyes were slightly red and his face was moved. He was about to say something to thank him, but Li Kun started to scold him directly:
"What are you looking at?!"
Lu Chong: ???
"You're still looking at me!?? Why don't you quickly arrange a transport helicopter?? Do you want my troops to run there?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"
Lu Chong chuckled and trotted towards the terminal, picking up the walkie-talkie and giving orders while running.
...
"Old Li, I didn't realize you're such a considerate guy..."
Looking at Lu Chong's back as he left in a hurry, Zhao Gang couldn't help but joked.
"Hey~ That's right! Old Li is also a tough guy with a soft heart. Some things would be awkward if we said them out loud, so everything is left unsaid!"
After saying that, Li Kun turned around and yelled at a soldier who was dawdling beside him:
"Hurry up! Give it to me!"
Li Kun's voice frightened the soldier, and he quickly sped up until only his back was left.
"It's no use running fast. I know you're from the logistics support company. It looks like you're having a comfortable life in the logistics department. When you come back, I'll give your company commander a lesson!"
"Look at the kind of soldiers he leads!"
.....
Tententen~~~
In the midst of total silence, a roaring sound came from far away and gradually approached, like a tide, sweeping from the sky towards the Chongyi gathering place.
The dense sound of the rotors was like a dull thunder in the distance, rolling and echoing in the dome, causing the eaves on the ground to tremble slightly and the dust to fall...
immediately
Countless dazzling rays of light cut through the night sky like sharp swords, tearing the layers of dark clouds into pieces.
"coming!"
On the city wall, Zhu Jun, who had received the news long ago, was wearing a coat and standing under the warm yellow spotlight, watching the fleet of planes sweeping in from the sky.
The outlines of helicopters were clearly visible in the interweaving of light and shadow. They were arranged in a goose formation, with their huge rotors spinning at high speed, stirring up the surrounding air to form vortices visible to the naked eye.
In the gathering place, the sleeping survivors were awakened by the sudden noise. As the fleet of planes descended towards the airport under the guidance of the signal lights of the command personnel, the noise was as loud as thunder!
The strong winds blew the survivors' underwear and socks that were hung outside into the air, making them fly all over the sky!
In the shack, a sleepy survivor half-pushed himself up and asked in a daze:
"It's thundering?"
...
buzz~
Soon, after the helicopter formations landed one after another, dense beams of lights lit up from the north, and SX2306 military transport vehicles loaded with soldiers from the 3rd Combined Battalion wearing chemical protective suits arrived at the airport.
The orange headlights were covered in fog, and granular dust was diffused in the light.
Kakakka~
Boom! Boom!Boom!
After a series of teeth-grinding sounds of bolts rubbing against each other, one heavy transport vehicle baffle after another came crashing down!
The soldiers, wrapped tightly in chemical protective suits with only the two large lenses of their gas masks showing, quickly jumped down and assembled by unit on the side!
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
...
li~
Just as the soldiers were lining up and counting their numbers, a Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle painted in digital jungle camouflage braked suddenly and stopped at the side of the airport.
Kata~
Zhu Jun had just closed the car door when a lieutenant colonel officer came towards him. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a righteous demeanor.
The lieutenant colonel raised his hand and saluted:
"Hello, Commander! I am the commander of the 3rd Helicopter Transport Battalion of the Air Assault Brigade, and I am in charge of this transport operation!" Zhu Jun raised his hand in return.
"Hello! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Report to the chief, I am not afraid of hardship!"
"Also, our Brigade Commander Lu Chong asked me to tell you something, saying that he is very grateful for your help and will treat you to a drink later!"
"Hahaha, this kid Lu Chong just keeps making promises for me all day long!" Zhu Jun laughed when he heard this.
At this time, the deputy commander of the 3rd Combined Battalion, Tan Yong, finished assembling the team and trotted over:
"Report to the commander, the 3rd Combined Battalion has been fully assembled. Please give your instructions!"
Zhu Jun looked at his tactical watch, then waved his hand:
"Okay, then let's not delay any longer. It's almost dawn!"
"Everyone, get on board! Li Kun and his 4th Battalion are going first, and our 3rd Battalion can't fall behind!"
"Tan Yong!" Zhu Jun suddenly yelled.
"Here!" Tan Yong stopped and looked at Zhu Jun with an extremely firm gaze, waiting for his commander's pre-war instructions.
"Protect your brothers!" Zhu Jun only said this and patted Tan Yong's shoulder heavily.
"Yes!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Tan Yong nodded vigorously, feeling that his commander's hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds!
...
Come back safely...
ps: There will be more updates tomorrow
