Chapter 621: Borrowing supplies?

Operations Command Room of the 77th Corps Headquarters in Beibei District, Chongqing

dong dong dong~

"report!"

"Enter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a captain of staff pushed the door open and came in. As soon as he came in, he saw the combat command room was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

After looking around, he finally found the Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo, who was mixed in with a group of staff officers in the innermost staff area.

Yu Zhengguo was seen wearing a military uniform that had been washed to a slightly bleached color. He was standing in the middle of the crowd with his hands behind his back. There were several military maps spread out on the table.

"Report to the Chief..."

The staff officer came to Yu Zhengguo and was about to report something in a low voice, but was immediately stopped by Yu Zhengguo with a look.

"Have the troops stationed in Bishan District, Tongliang District, Hechuan District and Tongnan District opened up the G93 and S3 highways?" Yu Zhengguo said as he pointed at several traffic arteries on the map.

During the period when the 77th Corps was dormant, the troops deployed in various regions completely abandoned the recovery operation in accordance with orders and devoted themselves to the preparations for the "Northward Advance" plan.

The most important one is to connect the traffic lines along the way to ensure that when the offensive operation is officially launched, all troops can move northward unimpeded.

Hearing Yu Zhengguo's question, Tian Xiangqian, the Chief of Staff of the 77th Corps, immediately answered:

"Reporting to the commander, the main transportation routes leading to Shu Province from all troops have been opened, and road maintenance responsibility areas have been demarcated according to the scope of responsibility. Each troop has set up a special road protection team to conduct armed patrols to ensure the smooth flow of mobile routes."

During this period of time, although a large-scale recovery war was not easily launched, given the size of the 77th Corps, it would not be a problem to maintain several transportation arteries.

Yu Zhengguo nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then continued to ask:

"How are the preparations for war materials?"

"Can it sustain high-intensity combat for at least a month?"

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first

The main reason why the 77th Legion has been dormant for so long is to accumulate supplies!

Hearing this, the Chief of Staff frowned slightly and replied:

"Report to the corps commander, there is still a gap in military supplies..."

"Although we have opened several war reserve depots in Yucheng, none of them are large ones... As you know, the headquarters of our Western War Zone is in Shu Province, and many large weapons depots are also built there..."

"During this period, although the troops below have also been developing their own military factories, the scale of the military factories has not increased due to our strategic contraction..."

"Just tell me how much is still missing!" Upon hearing this, Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"There is still a gap of about 1000 tons of weapons and ammunition..."

1000 tons?

The corps commander Yu Zhengguo was repeating this number in his mind.

"Based on our current production capacity, how long will it take to get all of them together?"

"Uh..."

Hearing this, the Chief of Staff quickly calculated in his mind. After a few breaths, he replied with an uncertain tone:

"Reporting to the chief, I'm afraid it will take about two months."

"Two months?" Yu Zhengguo's tone was full of disbelief.

"Fuck! It's not even as fast as my pee!"

"It's been so long, and the military industry's production capacity hasn't been improved yet? Yucheng is an industrial powerhouse after all! What the hell is the Military Industry Development Department doing?"

Yu Zhengguo slammed the table so hard that the hearts of the legion leaders present couldn't help but beat in unison along with the drawing tools on the table.

"Where's Jiang Wu! Call Jiang Wu over here! The Military Industry Development Department that I put him in charge of has developed into this state?!"

Seeing the corps commander Yu Zhengguo's rage, the leaders surrounding him looked at each other in bewilderment. No one dared to say a word. Finally, it was the chief of staff Tian Xiangqian who spoke up:

"Minister Jiang Wu was attacked and killed on his way to inspect the military factory in Bishan District last week... Now... Now it is Minister Wang Hongwen... Minister Wang Hongwen should be in Tongnan District now..."

Hearing this, Yu Zhengguo was slightly stunned, as if all his energy had been drained away, and he became a little tired.

Seeing that Yu Zhengguo didn't say anything, the atmosphere on the scene fell silent and gradually became a little depressing.

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want this old face anymore!" As if he thought of something, Yu Zhengguo's cloudy eyes lit up slightly.

"forward"

"Here!" Chief of Staff Tian Xiangqian responded.

"Let Deputy Commander Yang Wei follow..."

Having said this, Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo suddenly paused, and then he seemed to be talking to himself: "It's already this time, who cares about this or that!"

"Go forward and notify the Ye Province Military District. Tell them that I want to go to the Ye Province Military District to meet with Commander Gu Chengyuan!"

The corps commander is going to the Night Province Military Region? ?

In an instant, the entire combat command room was in an uproar.

How could the head coach leave at this critical juncture when the plan to advance north is about to be implemented?

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, voices of opposition were heard in the conference room. The first to oppose was Chief of Staff Tian Xiangqian.

"Captain, this is impossible. Our plan to advance north is about to begin. How can we allow you to take risks at this time?"

"This post-apocalypse is different from the pre-apocalypse. Whether you're walking on the ground or in the air, the risks are very high! What if something happens to you? What do you want us to do?"

"Yes, yes, it's better to let Deputy Commander Yang Wei go for such a dangerous task!" Someone immediately agreed.

"You are the commander in chief, don't act rashly!!"

...

Listening to the leaders and cadres in the command room talking at once, Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo felt like his head was about to explode.

"Fuck it, just be quiet!"

Yu Zhengguo slammed the table, and the whole audience fell silent.

"What do you think I'm going to do? I'm going to borrow food! 1000 tons of ammunition, does Deputy Commander Yang Wei have the nerve to do that?"

"I'm not even sure if I can go!"

Yu Zhengguo's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the leading cadres present.

Seeing the leaders present immediately looked depressed, Yu Zhengguo suppressed his emotions and said soothingly:

"The soldiers on the frontline are risking their lives, and aren't we leaders responsible for logistics?"

"And maybe it's not that difficult. I think Commander Gu of Ye Province is also a man of great vision. If it doesn't work out, we can just give him our military factory as collateral."

"For the sake of our brother troops, there is no reason not to support us!"

"As long as we can enter Shu, we will be able to turn things around!"

With these last sentence, Yu Zhengguo seemed to be encouraging others, but also seemed to be cheering himself up.

Can't wait any longer..

He and the 77th Legion can't wait any longer...

Although he has been sitting in the office all the time and has not gone directly to the front line to fight zombies and mutant beasts.

But just from the battle reports submitted from time to time, he could clearly feel that, except for the 77th Legion, everything else seemed to be getting stronger...

The most intuitive manifestation is the encounter between grassroots troops and zombies and mutant beasts. Compared with when the apocalypse just broke out, the battle loss ratio has increased significantly!

Until now, in the bottom drawer of his desk, there is still a battle report about a patrol team being wiped out by an unknown mutant beast.

When he received this battle report yesterday, he felt a little panic in his heart, and even his golden body, which was the king of firepower, almost cracked...

As the legion commander, he should have been the most resolute and brave person in the entire 77th Legion.

But it is precisely because he is the commander of the legion that he has more comprehensive intelligence than anyone else.

You know, oftentimes, fear comes from knowing too much.

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the trump card in our hand might be suffocated to death..." Yu Zhengguo thought worriedly.

A book friend mentioned the issue of the protagonist's sphere of influence. Here I borrowed the picture made by the book friend "Xiao Yao"
