Chapter 249 Attack on Lanzhou
Li Yuanhong talked with Ma Fangyu for a long time, and the sky became dark. For the sake of later matters, Li Yuanhong was going to leave and go back to make arrangements, so Li Yuanhong was about to stand up and leave.
"Brother Li, please wait a moment!" Ma Fangyu called out to Li Yuanhong.
"Oh? Does Commander Ma have anything else to do?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"That's right, I saved your soldiers yesterday. Although I sent them to the hospital for treatment, you know, I lack supplies here and can't give them good treatment. I'm really sorry!" Ma Fangyu apologized first.
"Commander Ma is so polite. Being able to save their lives is the greatest favor. Let's do this. Give them to me and I will take them back to our place for treatment." Li Yuanhong said.
"Okay!" Ma Fangyu agreed, and then ordered people to carry the wounded over.
Li Yuanhong asked people to help carry the wounded to the cabin of the airship. Among the people who carried the wounded, there were a few people who entered the cabin door and looked around. Fortunately, they were in ordinary cabins, so they didn't see anything at all.
In fact, Li Yuanhong had already seen these people, but Li Yuanhong did not stop him, because this airship would soon withdraw from the main force and become an armed transport ship for the logistics force.
Li Yuanhong transported the wounded onto the airship and drove away. The thief-eyed guys who were following the airship sneaked up behind Mr. Zhang and reported what they had just seen in a low voice to Mr. Zhang. After hearing the report, Mr. Zhang frowned. What these guys said was... There was no important information in return. If it were at his own base, Mr. Zhang would scold several losers without politeness.
The airship quickly took off and disappeared into the already rosy sky. Commander Ma and Commander Zhang returned to their respective rooms together. Commander Ma looked excited, while Commander Zhang looked gloomy.
At this time, Li Yuanhong was sitting on the airship, digesting the news he had received from Commander Ma. There was a Western Empire appearing in the Huaxia Xinjiang Province, and it was also an organization allied with zombies. He must march to the west as soon as possible, otherwise once he was given up Once this empire has gained a foothold, it will be difficult for itself.
"Fat man, after you go back, you can report the flight data of our aircraft to Dr. Bai and finalize the production of this aircraft as soon as possible. We are about to march westward and may encounter more zombie aircraft. The airship will definitely not be suitable by then. Fighting on the front line." Li Yuanhong said.
"Understood, I will transfer the data as soon as possible." Fatty said.
"Okay! If it doesn't work, just fly back." Li Yuanhong said.
"Okay, let me take a few pilots back so that they can enter the simulator for training. After the aircraft is built, there will be ready-made pilots available." Fatty rarely came up with a good idea.
"The plan is good. You choose the personnel. You can do it immediately after you get back. You will set off back to Dr. Bai tomorrow morning and fly the plane back as soon as possible. We may face more zombie planes next." Li Yuanhong said.
"Haha, come on, I haven't had enough of the last air battle!" Fatty Lu said with a proud look on his face.
"Okay, don't be upset, make arrangements quickly and leave early tomorrow morning!" Li Yuanhong sent away the proud Fatty Lu.
Back in the room, after Li Yuanhong washed up, he sat on the bed and began to practice Qi again. Since Li Yuanhong opened up the sword energy, practicing Qi every night has become a compulsory course.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Li Yuanhong got up early and called everyone together after breakfast to start planning the next action plan.
"Commander Xiao, we need to advance westward as soon as possible and capture Lanzhou. What do you think?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"Commander Li, are we advancing too fast? The search for survivors near Xi'an City has not yet been completed, and there are still new troops who need training. Is the attack too hasty now?" Commander Xiao asked hesitantly.
"Commander Xiao, I also want everyone to rest for two more days, and I want the new equipment to be fully equipped before attacking. Unfortunately, things have changed!" So Li Yuanhong talked about the Western Empire.
"A country where humans and zombies unite?" Commander Xiao was stunned.
"I think there's something very fishy here. If humans and zombies could coexist peacefully, we humans wouldn't be forced to this point." Li Yuanhong said.
"Yes, how many of my young soldiers turned into those horrible zombies, and many of them were torn to pieces and eaten alive." Commander Xiao had a sad expression in his eyes.
"So we can't wait any longer. If this organization really works for the benefit of mankind, it will be fine. If it is like the puppet regime during World War II, it will be a bit troublesome. So we have to move west as soon as possible to keep the zombies in the west of the desert, so We have given up rest for the time being and let the soldiers take turns. The newly recruited soldiers will be transported to the rear for training, and the trained soldiers from the rear will be transported over. This can save time greatly. As for finding survivors, we will leave it to the mercenary group." Li Yuanhong road.
"Okay, I'll give the orders now. When will we march?" Commander Xiao asked.
"The sooner the better, try to set off tomorrow morning!" Li Yuanhong said.
"Okay, this should be fine."
As the saying goes, before a thousand troops move, food and grass go first. Before departure, various materials began to be mobilized urgently. If Li Yuanhong had not had the backing of the Northeast, Li Yuanhong would have been suppressed in terms of food, weapons and ammunition. Fortunately, with the With the recovery of the earth's energy, food production has not only greatly increased, but the level has also begun to advance. Now Li Yuanhong cannot eat ordinary food at all. The food he eats must be second-level rice, so as to meet his daily needs. Therefore, Every time you march forward, you need to store a large amount of food to ensure the needs of the front line.
As Li Yuanhong's order was issued, the entire military camp was filled with various transport vehicles, ready to move forward with the army.
Looking at the long convoy, Li Yuanhong frowned. If in the past, the convoy was protected by infantry, there would be no problem, but now that the zombies have airplanes, the convoy will undoubtedly be exposed to the attack of the aircraft. This air defense requirement mentioned The schedule is up.
"Guard, send a message to Fatty later and ask him to tell Dr. Bai and others if there are any good anti-aircraft weapons, even those from before the end of the world."
"Yes, I will inform Captain Lu when I get back!" the guard said.
Li Yuanhong didn't say anything. The zombie figure on the plane had been lingering in Li Yuanhong's heart and could not be dissipated. However, the zombie plane did not appear again in the next few days, so Li Yuanhong never knew what conspiracy the zombies were planning.
The troops set off the next day. After leaving Xi'an, there was a mountain road, and there were many big cities on the road to Lanzhou. The population of these cities was not less than that of Lanzhou, so there would be a fierce battle wherever they went. ,, so the team is not moving very fast. Fortunately, the logistics supply is very timely, so that the firepower of the team has always been very strong. Especially the newly trained troops and equipment in the rear have kept up with them in time, so that the casualties of the team have been kept at a relatively low level. But by the time When Li Yuanhong attacked Lanzhou City, it was already half a month later.
At this time, there had just been a heavy snowfall near Lanzhou. The ravines on the Huangtu Plateau were covered with heavy snow, and the roads turned white. Due to the high mountains and slippery roads, the team moved even slower. At this moment, in the distance of Xi'an City, there suddenly appeared Several planes appeared and flew towards the convoy on the road at very high speed.
"No, there's an enemy plane attacking. There's an enemy plane attacking. The convoy should avoid it. The convoy should avoid it!" The soldier in charge of monitoring began to sound the alarm.
All the convoys stopped immediately. Those soldiers who had no time to drive their vehicles to the side of the road to take shelter jumped out of their vehicles and took shelter on the side of the road.
However, the plane soon flew over the convoy, and missiles attacked the convoy, so the entire convoy turned into a fire dragon. There were explosions, and many cars and the soldiers on the cars who had not yet had time to get off were bombed. Fortunately, these planes did not carry much capacity. After giving the car an extra show of strength, these planes shook their bodies and flew away far away.
Soon Li Yuanhong arrived, looking at the burning cars and burnt corpses on the road, his teeth itched with anger.
"Guards, send a message to the rear and ask them to bring up anti-aircraft weapons as soon as possible. We can't let the zombie planes be so arrogant!" Li Yuanhong said bitterly.
"Yes! Now..." the guard said hesitantly.
"Construct a position nearby, dig holes, dig air-raid shelters, and wait until the anti-aircraft weapons arrive before deciding on the next move. I can't let the soldiers die in vain!"
"Yes! I'll pass it on right now!" The guard saluted with a military salute and went down to issue the order.
In the next few days, zombie planes came to bomb every day, but fortunately Li Yuanhong took protection in advance, so the casualties were not large. However, he was pressed down and beaten by enemy planes every day. Li Yuanhong was also holding back his anger, but he didn't have anything in his hand now. There is really no way to deal with the effective weapons of the opponent's aircraft.
On the fifth day, the zombies bombed again on time. Just as the zombie planes were arrogantly launching missiles at ground targets, two black spots appeared in the eastern sky. Moreover, these two black spots were very fast, and they disappeared in a short time. The figures appeared. It was two bat-shaped planes, and Li Yuanhong's fighter jet finally appeared.
As the two planes appeared, the zombie planes that were still bombing gave up their ground attack and began to attack the bat-shaped planes. An air battle immediately began.
It has to be said that the performance of Bat-type aircraft is obviously higher than that of traditional aircraft before the end of the world. These aircraft are not only fast, but also more flexible. Although there are four zombie aircraft, which occupies a numerical advantage, the Bat-type aircraft can flexibly avoid the opponent's attacks. Attack, and launch missile attacks at an angle that the opponent cannot avoid. Soon a ball of fire burst out in the sky, and the zombie planes were blown up one by one.
When the observers on the ground saw the zombies being blown away, they ran out of the bunker one after another, waving their hands to the sky, shouting loudly, venting their frustrations over the past two days.
At this time, Li Yuanhong was sitting in the underground bunker, looking at the latest satellite scan map. On the map, the Lanzhou Military Airport, which was empty some time ago, actually had ten more aircraft of unknown nationality. Judging from the style, it was Asan Kingdom. s plane.
"Commander Li, Captain Lu has sent a message and wants to speak with you." At this time, the communications soldier ran in and reported.
"Okay, come in quickly!" Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhong immediately relaxed his frown.
Soon, the call with Fatty Lu was connected, and Fatty Lu's voice came from the other side of the intercom.
"Brother Li, I, Fatty Lu, am back. How are you? You haven't thought about me these past two days!" Fatty Lu still had that unformed voice.
