Chapter 773 The wall fell and everyone pushed it
"According to the news, the 77th Army successfully recaptured Shengwu County yesterday, barely completing the first step in gaining a foothold in Shu Province!"
Having said that, Gu Chengyuan waved his hand, and Pu Guangqiang in the room immediately took the documents on the desk.
"Chief of Staff, Deputy Commander, you two take a look!" Gu Chengyuan motioned Pu Guangqiang to hand over the document.
After receiving the document, Chief of Staff Wu Bin and Deputy Commander Shao Gang read it while Gu Chengyuan said:
"Although the 77th Army has captured Shengwu County, the situation is much worse than expected!"
Speaking of this, even Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but frown.
Because according to the report he just received, serious internal strife broke out during the 77th Corps' process of retaking Shengwu County!
In the process of retaking Shengwu County, the 77th Corps' initial progress was very smooth, mainly because the Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo chose to push his entire army forward without reservation from the very beginning.
On the ground, the armored brigade, mechanized infantry brigade and motorized infantry brigade were sent out in three directions; in the air, the army aviation regiment covered the sky.
The reason why we chose this style of fighting, regardless of consumption and with the goal of not living on until this battle is over, is not only because we have the backup of the Night Province Military Region, but also because the legion is in urgent need of a crushing victory to boost morale and rally the people!
At the beginning, everything went as Yu Zhengguo expected, both the morale of the soldiers and the progress of the battle were very good.
But just when Yu Zhengguo and other high-ranking officers of the corps thought that everything was stable, an unexpected change occurred!
Just as the troops were advancing to the central area of the city and the battle was getting stalemate, a piece of gossip quietly spread like a virus among the grassroots troops of the legion...
What is being transmitted?
The story was about how the corps' top brass was forced to retreat by the 2nd and 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigades, and was forced to leave them behind in the safe city of Yu to defend their home.
The spread of this news was like lighting the fuse of gunpowder. The resentment that had been pent up in the hearts of tens of thousands of grassroots soldiers for a long time seemed to have found an outlet and exploded instantly!
Just one question, why?!
Why can your soldiers from Yucheng stay in their hometown and only protect their hometown?
Are we, who are from other areas and provinces of Zhou State and have nothing to do with Shu Province, going to fight on the battlefield?
Why don’t you guys go up and let me go up? ? ? !
Are we some kind of cheap people? Or is our hometown some kind of cheap place?
I've been away from people thousands of kilometers away fighting on this land. The apocalypse has been going on for so long, and I haven't even gone back to save my own home, my wife, and my children. You guys are still not willing? ? !
I agree with what we usually say about the interests of the country and family, but this interests of the country and family has to be carried out by different people, right?
I am responsible for the country, and he is responsible for going home???!
Whoever makes the most noise can be exempted from work? Isn't this bullying the honest people? ? ?
...
As a result, under such resentment, many grassroots troops simply stopped and refused to move forward, in order to force the legion leadership to give a reasonable explanation!
Many grassroots soldiers and even front-line units have even threatened that if the corps leaders cannot come up with a reasonable explanation and solution, they will withdraw from the Zhou Bang Army and find their own way out!
...
The occurrence of this incident was tantamount to a severe blow to the entire legion leadership!
No one expected that the mine that was thought to have been cleared would explode at this time, and it was the kind that caused the earth to shake and the sky to collapse!
Although Lu Chong dealt with the 2nd and 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigades in front of the corps leaders, at that time he was worried that it would affect morale, so the corps commander Yu Zhengguo personally issued a gag order.
In addition, the army is highly closed, and the grassroots troops are even less well-informed than many ordinary survivors. How can they know when the friendly war god has jumped or fallen asleep?
So this led to the situation that at this critical moment, the explanations of the legion leaders were completely ineffective and the grassroots soldiers did not buy it at all!
Because rather than believing that the disobedient 2nd and 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigades were dealt with by the "weak" corps leaders, they would rather believe the lies that the corps leaders made up specifically to deceive them.
Why didn't they clean up the mess in the first place? And why did they specially transfer to some bullshit security brigade sequence? ?
Why didn't you tell us? Wouldn't it shock us more if you told us?
So no matter what the reason, once a precedent of deception is established, the rift in trust is difficult to repair...
In the end, it was the Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo who personally stepped in and ran back and forth between the grassroots units to do the work. After swearing, swearing, and persuading them, he barely convinced the grassroots soldiers of the Corps to start moving again.
But this does not mean that the matter is over, but that we must first take down Shengwu County.
"If you want to make a scene or talk, you have to first clear out a safe place to do so!" These were the exact words that Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo said to the soldiers at the grassroots level.
So up to now, the 77th Corps has captured Shengwu County, and even managed to capture it ahead of schedule because the grassroots soldiers were full of resentment and wanted to vent it, but the situation was extremely bad.
In order to prevent the legion's top brass from launching unethical sneak attacks and suppression, many of the legion's grassroots units are currently stationed separately in Shengwu County to guard against each other, and senior officers cannot control the grassroots at all.
Some are stationed together with battalions, some are stationed together with companies, some are stationed together with squads, and some are even stationed together with fellow villagers...
In this situation, it is almost written on the forehead that I am going to split up and run away...
Seeing this, the top brass of the corps had no choice but to accept it in order not to further arouse the emotions of the grassroots troops and let the situation completely turn into a melee.
As long as you don't run away from Shengwu County, or even as long as you don't escape in an organized manner, you can live separately if you want!
...
When Chief of Staff Wu Bin and Deputy Commander Shao Gang finished reading the intelligence in their hands, even with their level of expertise, they couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on their scalps...
This is really a mess...
It is said that the lotus root is broken but the silk thread is still connected. Now, the only thing connecting the various units of the legion together is the silk thread, which will be broken by the wind? ?
They only have sympathy for Yu Zhengguo...
The Legion has developed to this point, and the opponent can be said to have really tried his best. If it weren't for the opponent, the Legion wouldn't even be able to hold on until now...
As I said, we should be humane to others. Soldiers are worried about their parents, wives and children. This is human nature.
Especially in the end of the world, the mortality rate is as high as 70 to 80 percent. Even if you survive by chance, you will suffer the disaster of old sins.
Put yourself in other people’s shoes. Who wouldn’t worry about their relatives far away in their hometown being in danger? Who wouldn’t worry about their wife and daughter being raped?
The key is that I have guns and weapons and the ability to solve problems. If I can go back, I can really protect my family from torture.
How many normal people would not be tempted in this situation? But don't underestimate the bond between Zhou Bangren and family!
So what Gu Chengyuan and the other two saw from this intelligence was not a coincidence...
Instead, it was a group of grassroots fighters who had been planning for a long time and finally found a breakthrough in the once indestructible wall of discipline that had firmly trapped them!
Their anger does not come entirely from imbalance, but more from seeing the way home...
In the hole in the wall, the shadows of a struggling family flashed...
They want to rush out!!!
