Chapter 439 Captain Xu

They belatedly began to hide wherever they could.

And he was still praying in his heart not to be hit by that anti-material sniper rifle.

In fact, they thought too much. The anti-materiel sniper rifle is not a weapon used to attack personnel. It is used to attack light armored vehicles or radars. If it were not for the fact that this boy was far away from the gathering place, he would not know how to use anti-materiel sniper. For sniping with a rifle, an ordinary sniper rifle can do the job.

However, because these people were hiding, the pressure in this direction suddenly decreased, and the firepower from this side quickly suppressed the opposite side. The thugs outside found that they originally just wanted to avoid the sniper attack of the anti-material sniper rifle, but I didn't expect that once I dodge like this, I won't be able to get out. Once I get out, I will be suppressed by the powerful firepower and unable to move.

"Report, the enemy forces in the direction from one to three o'clock have been successfully suppressed!"

"Report! The enemy from ten to twelve o'clock was beaten by us and began to collapse. Do you want to continue to increase the firepower?"

"Very good! Let the soldiers continue to maintain suppressive fire!"

"No! We can't hold on to our ammunition reserves if we continue to fight like this. Since we have successfully suppressed the opponent, forget it and let them go."

"Let them go? Then wait a few days and continue to watch them attack again? Lao Gao, ammunition is important, but... alas, I get it."

This man called Lao Gao is actually a good brother of the battalion commander, at least he used to be. Now Lao Gao is a mayor, that is, the mayor of this small border town.

When a disaster occurred, he personally directed citizens to evacuate, and led the city's police and special police to organize the early spread of zombies, buying precious time for the evacuating citizens.

Even though he still didn't stop the spread of zombies, no one blamed him. Ordinary citizens also thanked him for what he did. Therefore, this man named Lao Gao is actually a good person, a good person who is a bit stubborn.

This time he said he would let go of the thugs outside, because in his eyes, those thugs were still the citizens he was responsible for, so he said he would let them go.

As the battalion commander, although he knew that once the people outside were let go, the entire gathering place would be catastrophic next time, he had no choice but to listen to him, otherwise the entire gathering place would not have to wait until the next time. It was immediately disbanded.

Because in addition to their troops, other police, special police or militiamen all listened to him, so if something unexpected happened, he and his remaining troops would have to face a counterattack from the entire gathering area. Although this The probability of this happening is very small, but not completely impossible. ♦♕ ♦ඏ

This feeling of being controlled by others is very unpleasant, but there is no way anyone can let him be the top person in charge of this gathering place.

"Lao Gao, although we let them go this time, they will definitely attack us again. You must be prepared for this problem."

"I know. Didn't you say that we have a reserve nearby? Let's divide half of our people and bring dozens of young and strong guys to transport the reserve here. We can't take care of so many in extraordinary times. "

"Now?"

"Yes, even now, I know that the people across from me will not give up, but after all, they are my citizens. They have to be merciful and merciful so that we can meet each other easily in the future."

In this regard, as the battalion commander, he didn't say much because he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be of no use. This old Gao would not listen to the advice at all.

Instead of wasting words, it is better to think about how to move the reserve over there. They are not short of people or vehicles, but they are short of ammunition, and the most lacking thing is time.

No one knows when the thugs outside will attack again. If the thugs attack the gathering place when they go out to get supplies, the gathering place that is seriously short of ammunition will have no power to resist.

Even if we trade the lives of the soldiers for time, how long can we hold on? Who will win between the soldiers with guns but no bullets and the thugs with guns and bullets? I knew without even thinking that the thugs would win.

But even if they don't go out, they will still have to fight in close quarters with the thugs outside because their ammunition is exhausted, and the whole army will still be destroyed in the end.

"There is no other way. Order the troops to gather everyone, and then send half of them to the reserve to transport the supplies back. The remaining half will stay at the gathering place to protect the safety of the gathering place!"

"yes!"

"Also, each person who goes out can only carry one full magazine of bullets, and the rest will be left behind and given to the remaining troops."

"yes!"

Soon, less than ten minutes after the order was issued, all the armed personnel in the gathering area gathered together.

Forgot to introduce, this battalion commander’s name is Xu Tian, ​​and he immediately agreed to call him Battalion Commander Xu.

Battalion Commander Xu also came to the crowd at this time. He first scanned the number of troops with his own eyes and found that there was a lot less than the last time he counted troops.

"What's going on? Why are there so few people?"

Battalion Commander Xu asked somewhat differently about the adjutant beside him.

"Report to the battalion commander! Although the mortar fire just now did not kill anyone, it destroyed the homes of the militiamen. Now their families are looking for them very urgently, so the militiamen have gone back to their homes to report that they are safe."

When he said this, it was obvious that the adjutant's eyes showed envy. Not only the adjutant, but also many soldiers or police who could hear clearly showed envy.

There was no way. Their families were in a very far place. Although they could meet through video calls, they still wanted to go to their hometown to confirm the situation of their families.

Even if they could bring their families here, it would be fine. After all, there was plenty of food and water here, so there was no need to worry about food. Although the thugs outside had been attacking the gathering place, they did not take those thugs seriously. If it weren't for the fact that too many comrades died when fighting against the zombies at the beginning, the thugs outside would not even have the chance to shoot back.

"Really? I see. Let's not look for them this time. Let them protect the gathering place. As for the others, let all the police stay. They are responsible for maintaining order. The rest of you will follow me to the storage warehouse to get the things back."

"Yes!"

"It's twelve o'clock now. In one hour, everyone will put on their equipment and gather in the parking lot."

"Understood!"

Captain Xu mainly gave them time to eat. People are made of iron and food is made of steel. If you don't eat for a day, you will be hungry. He knows very well how big the difference is between being full and not full.
