Chapter 838 Codename: Mountain City Iron Blade

"From now on, please invite Chief of Staff Wu Bin to give us a detailed combat deployment announcement for the battle to retake Yucheng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chief of Staff Wu Bin, who had been standing in front of the podium, immediately opened the "Operation Plan for the Recapture of Chongqing" on the table.

cough~

"Dear commander, fellow leaders and comrades, here is the Operation Plan for Recovering Chongqing formulated by my Joint Staff Headquarters."

Hearing this, the leading cadres of the war zone present perked up, picked up their pens, and prepared to mark the key points on the photocopies of the "Operation Plan for the Recapture of Chongqing" that had been distributed in advance to each person.

"Mission code: Mountain City Iron Blade!"

"Mission objective: Recover the remaining 3 districts and counties (Changshou, Peilin, Hechuan, Yongchuan, etc.) outside the main urban area of ​​Yucheng within three months, establish a safety isolation zone around the main city, and completely cut off the cross-regional movement of zombies."

“First, battlefield situation analysis:

The target counties and districts are mostly distributed in the Yangtze River and Jialing River basins, and bridges and tunnels are strategic throats.

The total number of remaining zombies outside the main city is about 2500 million (including 5% mutants), mostly concentrated in cities and transportation hubs. The terrain of Wuling Mountain and Daba Mountain in the wild is complex, with a large number of abandoned mines and air-raid shelters (estimated to hide more than 300 million zombies).

After preliminary reconnaissance, it was confirmed that there are common variants such as sonic sensing type (tracking mechanical noise) and climbing type (able to vertically break through buildings below 6 floors). "

“Second, combat phase and task allocation:

In the first phase, the hub was cut and the isolation zone was constructed, mainly using the Yangtze River and Jialing River as natural barriers. By blowing up 11 secondary bridges, the zombie tide was forced to move towards the three channels preset in advance and head towards the "ambush area."

Phase 2: Multi-column clearing, the Yucheng Military Region is divided into three columns: East Column, West Column, and North Column.

The general attack route of the East Column troops was: Peilin → Fengdu → Zhongxian. The main task was to advance along the east bank of the Yangtze River, seize hubs such as Peilin and Changshou, cut off the zombies' route across the river to converge, and create conditions for the main force to encircle and surround them.

The general attack route of the Western Column was: Yongchuan → Dazhu → Tongnan. The main task was to clear out the mutant beast nests in the mines and forests in the Wuling Mountain area and block the mutant beasts from escaping westward.

The general attack route of the North Column troops is: Hechuan → Tongliang → Bishan. The main task is to quickly penetrate to the north wing of the main city, establish a circular defense line, block the zombie tide from spreading outward in the main city, and prevent the main force of the Yucheng Military Region from being trapped. "

"Considering the high density of zombies in Yucheng, the high difficulty of attacking, and the many rivers and streams, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Yucheng recapture battle, the war zone leadership committee has decided!"

“在渝城军区原有第1空中突击旅、第1炮兵旅、夜州第2、第3、第4、第12、第13步兵旅的基础上，再抽调第77军团大部队、以及工兵旅入渝！”

"During the campaign, all deployed troops will be under the unified command of the Yucheng Military Region Headquarters!"

"The following are the final troop formations for the three major columns: East, West, and North:

东纵部队：第77装甲旅、第9、10、11步兵旅、第77陆航团。

Western Column Forces: 77th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, 4th, 12th and 13th Infantry Brigades of Yezhou.

Northern Column: 77th Armored Brigade Detachment, 2nd and 3rd Armor Brigades of Yezhou (equipped with the Warrior version produced by Zhanjiang Military Industrial Base).”

...

The decision to transfer the 77th Corps southward to assist the Yucheng Military Region was the result of a joint discussion between Gu Chengyuan and members of the theater leadership committee.

This is mainly done to make up for the shortage of troops in the Yucheng Military Region. Otherwise, with the current 2 arms brigades and 5 infantry brigades of the Yucheng Military Region, totaling about 4 troops, even with the fiercest firepower, it would be difficult to chew the hard bone of Yucheng!

After all, more than 2500 million zombies are no joke! Reality is not a game, and monsters don’t have air walls.

Therefore, the prerequisite for relying on firepower advantage to defeat a larger force with a smaller one is to be able to divide and control the zombie tide. Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will be surrounded and swallowed up by the rioting zombie tide!

Because no matter what species it is, when the base number reaches a certain level, qualitative changes will inevitably occur!

Take the old friends, the zombies, in the Zhongzhou war zone for example. Even if we calculate based on the lowest ratio of 5%, the number of naturally evolved zombies alone will exceed one million!

Not to mention those unnaturally evolved mutant animals, insects, fungi, nests, etc...

Therefore, transferring the 77th Corps southward is only the first step. As the battle to recapture Chongqing officially begins, the three system combined brigades of the Tongren Military Sub-district, namely the 2nd Heavy Combined Brigade, the 2nd Medium Combined Brigade, and the 2nd Light Combined Brigade, will also become reserve forces, ready to enter Chongqing for support at any time depending on the battlefield situation!

...

After introducing the programming of the three major columns, Chief of Staff Wu Bin's magnetic voice rang out again in the conference room:

"Phase three, mountain purification and final isolation, the tasks correspond to the Wuling Mountain annihilation battle and the construction of a blockade belt around the main city.

Among them, the Wuling Mountain annihilation campaign will adopt the method of fire attack, covering the areas above 800 meters above sea level in the mountain with incendiary bombs, igniting mountain fires and forcing out mutant beasts!

环主城封锁带构筑则是沿绕城高速挖掘20米深、50米宽的壕沟，预计投入投入400台挖掘机、10000吨燃油，以每天掘进10公里的速度进行。”

"Third, logistics support. As the frontline battlefield opens up, three major frontline ammunition depots will be set up simultaneously in Peilin (East), Yongchuan (West), and Hechuan (North). Each depot will have no less than 5000 tons of combat supplies. At the same time,...

......

"The battle plan announcement is over, thank you everyone!"

Ten minutes later, Chief of Staff Wu Bin closed the thick "Operation Plan for the Recapture of Chongqing", ending the plan announcement session.

"Lu Chong, report the battlefield reconnaissance of the Yucheng Military Region in the early stage and see if any special abnormalities have been found!"

After Chief of Staff Wu Bin, Gu Chengyuan immediately clicked on Lu Chong's name in the video.

Although this plan was formulated by the theater headquarters based on the intelligence provided by the Yucheng Military Region, Gu Chengyuan still wanted to hear something more specific and tactical today.

"It's the chief!"

Obviously, Lu Chong was prepared for this, so as soon as Gu Chengyuan finished speaking, he immediately opened the documents on his desk.

"Commander, the plan formulated by the theater leaders is already very comprehensive. I have nothing to add to it."

"So what I will report next are only the mutant beasts discovered by my military district that may pose a threat to the recovery operation."

"During this period of time, our Yucheng Military District has discovered more than a thousand kinds of evolved zombies, mutant beasts, and mutant plants that have never been seen before through the infiltration of small reconnaissance troops, low-altitude reconnaissance by helicopters, and 7-hour regular monitoring by the Falcon-24 military drone."

"Among them, there are 5 types and 3 groups that are more typical!"

"The first type was discovered by a small reconnaissance team around the Changshou Chemical Industry Park. Based on its unique appearance and characteristics, we named it the 'Heavy Armor Tyrant'."

As Lu Chong spoke, a video window popped up on the conference room's ultra-high-definition LED splicing screen and began playing.

Judging from the shooting angle of the video, it should be from the camera on the scout's tactical helmet.

The video opens with a dark red, ferocious and strong humanoid creature standing in a pile of ruins. Through the pale moonlight, one can clearly see bullet holes and traces of explosions everywhere around it.

In the picture, the heavily-armored tyrant stood on the ground with its four giant claws, appearing to be two or three meters tall. In the grooves plowed by its claws, dark red hot mist was visible to the naked eye, steaming, as if radioactive dust was burning.

Its entire body was covered with thick, hypertrophic armor, like the scales of a pangolin, and every protrusion among the rugged features had a matte lead-gray luster.

On its chest, six rows of honeycomb-like holes densely grew. The calcified tissues at the edges of these holes glowed with a sickly phosphorescent glow. As its chest rose and fell, the dense holes continued to shrink and expand...
