Chapter 374 Let’s go! Heading to the border

Eight o'clock the next morning.

All the troops have assembled. Even though they drank so much yesterday, all the officers and soldiers still appeared here in high spirits.

According to tradition, there should be a pre-war mobilization at this time, but General Yansong canceled this pre-war mobilization because he knew that all the soldiers had been prepared yesterday, and it was no longer necessary to do a pre-war mobilization this time.

So General Yansong didn't say much nonsense and gave the order directly.

"Go!"

With General Yansong's order, the soldiers immediately ran to their vehicles and then boarded the armored vehicles or tanks as quickly as possible.

Cai Wenjie was no exception. Because the troops assigned to him yesterday were all here, he had to take the entire army with him. Of course, the original troops and Li Jianjun's troops also followed Cai Wenjie, and even Li Jianjun himself had to follow Cai Wenjie.

As a guerrilla force, Cai Wenjie and his headquarters did not take the same route. He had to lead his troops to reach the destination faster than the headquarters, to be precise, the destination of the headquarters troops, which was the fortress left by the border troops before.

Unlike Cai Wenjie, who needed to fight guerrilla warfare, the headquarters troops, which were commanded by General Yansong himself, had the main combat mission of holding their positions and resisting the attacks of zombies. Because there was no way to build a suitable fortress in a short time, General Yansong decided to use the fortresses and battle lines used by the border troops for defensive operations.

However, because the fortresses and battle lines left by the border troops were now occupied by zombies, Cai Wenjie, who was responsible for the guerrilla mission, had to first lead out the zombies in the fortresses and battle lines so that the subsequent headquarters troops could enter smoothly, which was the main reason why the two troops had different routes.

The route that Cai Wenjie was going to use was a shortcut, which would arrive at the destination half an hour faster than the headquarters troops, but this road was more dangerous, and zombies or mutant zombies would jump out and attack the convoy at any time.

However, no matter how powerful zombies and mutant zombies are, they cannot withstand a tank's bombardment, so this danger can be ignored.

Soon, the armored troops led by Cai Wenjie separated from the main force and entered the shortcut.

"Attention, all vehicles, we have entered the shortcut. Zombies may appear here at any time. If you encounter zombies, don't be polite and don't turn or brake, just hit them! If you encounter any other problems, report at any time"

"Received!"

Because there are tanks in the convoy, the speed of the entire convoy is not very fast, only 60 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it takes an hour to reach the destination.

If it is other commanders, their vehicles should be in the middle or tail of the troops, but Cai Wenjie is different. His vehicle is at the front of the convoy, that is, the first car. The reason is that the first car has a good field of view and can detect unexpected situations in advance, so as to command the troops.

Of course, this reason is just a saying, and the real reason is only known to Cai Wenjie himself.

Cai Wenjie is now sitting in a modified infantry fighting vehicle. The weapon system on this infantry fighting vehicle only retains one vehicle-mounted machine gun. All other weapons have been removed and replaced with radars and various communication devices. In addition, the troop transport space in the rear part has also been transformed into a holographic combat simulator, which can simulate combat terrain and weather conditions in real time.

Because it is specifically responsible for commanding troops in a safe rear area, its own self-protection ability is not very sufficient, but because it does not need to consider the problem of weapons, the maximum speed of this armored vehicle can reach 150 kilometers per hour, which can be said to be no different from ordinary vehicles. As long as you can endure the bumpy feeling and not vomit, it will be fine.

If you encounter a surprise attack, you can leave the original place at the fastest speed and escape the encirclement of zombies, which also guarantees the safety of the commander in another sense.

After a while, the convoy has been driving on this road for almost half an hour, and it will reach the destination in another half an hour.

So far, there have been no accidents along the way. Just when everyone thought that the remaining half of the journey would be smooth, an accident happened.

It was not that they were attacked by zombies, but that the three tank companies in the convoy had problems. Because the tanks were too heavy and the road was too old, many sections of the road were crushed by the tanks and directly shattered. A good cement road was directly turned into a gravel road.

Originally, even if the cement road turned into a gravel road, there should be no problem for the troops with all armored vehicles, but the problem is that there is a bridge built a long time ago in the middle of this road. Although it is also made of cement, it has been too long. Once the convoy passes this bridge, if the bridge collapses, it will be troublesome.

And judging from the cement road on the way here, the probability of the bridge collapsing is very high, which makes Cai Wenjie dare not order the convoy to pass this bridge.

"Attention, all vehicles, stop immediately and wait for orders!"

"Received!"

Soon, all the armored vehicles in the convoy stopped moving under Cai Wenjie's order, and several people got off the front car of the convoy, including Cai Wenjie himself.

"Let's go and see what the bridge in front is like now"

For safety reasons, Cai Wenjie did not bring many people to check the bridge, but only brought a few guards and engineers.

When he came to the side of the bridge, Cai Wenjie ordered the engineers to check the condition of the old bridge.

After a simple inspection, the engineers immediately reported the situation to Cai Wenjie.

"Report to the commander! After our inspection, we found that this bridge is the most common concrete and steel bridge, and it has existed for more than 80 years. Logically, this bridge should be rebuilt, but there is no trace of reconstruction on this bridge, so various cracks have appeared everywhere on this bridge. For safety reasons, I do not recommend that the convoy pass through this bridge."

"Really? I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Go back."

"Yes!"

After letting the engineers go back first, Cai Wenjie immediately used the system satellite to start looking for other directions, and then found that if he wanted to reach the destination before the large army, he could only take this road and could not change the route. Once the route was changed, it was possible for the large army to face a large number of zombies in the destination.

Of course, this only happened when the two parties had no communication.
