Chapter 411: Reassurance
"Stop, who is it?!"
As soon as Li Yuanhong took two steps down, shouts and questions came from the darkness. It was obvious that Li Yuanhong had been discovered, because Li Yuanhong was wearing armor and a helmet on his head. Outsiders could not see Li Yuanhong's appearance at all.
Li Yuanhong took off his helmet and said: "I will inform your division commander that Commander-in-Chief Li is here!"
"Ah?! Commander Li! You...why are you here?" The soldier standing guard obviously knew Li Yuanhong. He quickly stood up and saluted Li Yuanhong with a standard military salute.
"Take me to see your commander quickly!" Li Yuanhong didn't waste any time. He didn't have time to chat with these soldiers now.
"Yes! I'll take you there right now!" After the soldier finished speaking, he whistled into the corridor, and soon several more soldiers walked out of the darkness.
"This is Commander Li. I will take him to the division commander. You continue to set up defenses here." The soldier said.
"Yes, squad leader!" Several soldiers saluted the soldier who spoke.
Li Yuanhong did not expect that the squad leader would stand guard at the first post. Then the monitor took Li Yuanhong deeper into the corridor.
"Why are you standing on the first guard post? Aren't ordinary soldiers usually standing on the first guard post?" Li Yuanhong asked curiously.
"Alas, this battle was so miserable. More than half of my soldiers were killed or injured. The remaining few soldiers are all new recruits with little experience. Letting them stand on the first post makes people uneasy. If it hadn't just been I'm on duty on the first shift, so I guess they won't even notice you coming in." said the squad leader.
"So miserable? Are all companies like this now?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"It's roughly the same. Our troops are the outermost ones, and the losses are bigger. The inner troops are better, but the losses are more than one-third. Didn't you see that the zombies attacked like a tidal wave last night? Many of our troops fought. After running out of bullets, I was directly overwhelmed by the zombie swarm. I have a comrade in the building next door. That building fell last night, and the team of nearly a thousand people was gone!" The squad leader said more and more, The lower the tone.
"We will avenge this. None of those zombies will escape!" Li Yuanhong said bitterly.
"Commander, do you think we can still get out of here alive?" The squad leader was not inspired by Li Yuanhong's words, but asked a very difficult question to answer.
"I can't guarantee that everyone will get out of here alive, but I'm here to take you out of this death place." Li Yuanhong said.
After hearing these words, the squad leader's eyes lit up. Although he did not speak, his originally dim eyes finally regained their luster.
Soon Li Yuanhong and the squad leader came to the teacher's office. At this time, the teacher was still sitting on the sofa dejectedly, motionless, and his whole body was like a piece of old wood, lifeless.
"Commander, commander, Commander Li is here!" The squad leader came in and shouted to the division commander.
The teacher slowly raised his head, his eyes were empty and without any brilliance.
"Why did Commander Li come here?!" the division commander said in a suspicious and helpless tone.
At this time, Li Yuanhong followed the squad leader into the small room. Looking at the dead teacher, he immediately became angry. He passed the squad leader, came to the teacher, and slapped him.
"Are you even a fucking soldier?"
This slap stunned the teacher. Li Yuanhong's slap was so heavy that it already drew blood from the corner of the teacher's mouth. The teacher covered his face in confusion and looked at Li Yuanhong for a long time. As if he had regained consciousness, he stood at attention: "Commander-in-Chief!"
"Well, it seems that you are not stupid enough to recognize me." Li Yuanhong glanced at the teacher standing upright in front of him.
"Chief...Commander, I was worried just now..." The division commander stood up straight and wanted to defend himself.
"You can think of a solution just sitting there? Don't use your cowardice to make excuses for yourself. Soldiers should be courageous. Even if they die, they must die on the way to charge." Li Yuanhong said loudly.
"Yes, I will die on the charge, but my life is not mine alone!"
"Then you just sit here, waiting for zombies to massacre your soldiers? Just sit there and wait for the end of your life, you are a useless person!" Li Yuanhong became angrier as he spoke, and even raised his hand, wanting to slap the division commander hard. .
The teacher also felt guilty, lowered his head, and waited for Li Yuanhong's slap.
"Forget it, I won't even hit you. Quickly notify all the officers to come here for a meeting!" Li Yuanhong said as if he hated iron.
"Yes!" The division commander immediately agreed.
Soon, all the army officers at company level and above arrived. Li Yuanhong looked at these dejected faces and knew that this defeat had severely dampened the morale of the army. Many of these officers were veterans who had fought many major battles, and At this time, everyone was listless and had obviously lost confidence.
"Why, you can't bear this blow? Are you still a soldier? You all look like bears. Do you really want to be a bear? You have become a bear, but don't turn your men into bear eggs!" Li Yuanhong said The scolding made these soldiers feel ashamed.
"It's useless to scold you. If you want to die here, just sigh here and sit here waiting to die." Li Yuanhong deeply stimulated these veterans.
"Commander, it's not that we don't want to rush out. We have no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. No one has confidence!" an officer said truthfully.
"I came here to bring you ammunition and supplies, and I want to lead you out of the encirclement so that you have hope of survival." Li Yuanhong said.
"But there are zombies outside. As soon as we go out, we will be surrounded by zombies. Even if we have ammunition, it will be difficult to break out. Our previous heavy weapons are almost gone!" another officer said.
Li Yuanhong took out a topographic map of Chengdu, then pointed at the map and said: "We are here, the floors here are densely packed, and zombies are intertwined with us. If the air force comes to support, it will be difficult to locate, accidental bombings are prone to occur, and airdrops are inconvenient. So we are going here." Li Yuanhong pointed to a park.
"Commander, this place is a long way from that park and there are tall buildings along the way. We can easily be surrounded by zombies, and it is also easy for those skeleton archers to hide in the darkness of the building and attack us."
"You are right. If we go by land, it is indeed easy for such a phenomenon to happen, but what if we don't go by land?" Li Yuanhong said with a smile.
"Don't go on land?" At this time, all the officers were looking at the map and thinking intently.
"Yes, we won't walk. This is the traffic map of Chengdu. You can see that although it is far from here, there is a subway connection from where we are to the park. As long as we rush to the subway, we can We can reach the park smoothly, and the zombies will never think about where we are going, they will only think that we are going to use the subway to run out of the city." Li Yuanhong said.
"Commander, what if zombies surround us in the subway?" Another officer asked again.
"You asked a good question. In fact, this is the reason why we are going to the subway. The subway generally only has two directions. If zombies want to attack us, they can only attack us from two directions. Moreover, the subway space is limited, and the corpses of zombies It is difficult to use group tactics. As long as our firepower can keep up, the zombies cannot pose a threat to us." Li Yuanhong said.
All the officers lowered their heads and began to ponder. The only thing that worries the officers is that this kind of breakout requires a lot of ammunition to support. Unfortunately, they have almost run out of bullets, and most of the supplies have fallen after several airdrops in the morning. The zombie-controlled area makes their ammunition reserves unable to support such an attack.
"Next, we will assign tasks. You don't have to worry about ammunition. In a while, a troop will send a humanitarian team to the next door to collect ammunition supplies." Li Yuanhong said. He could see their worries from everyone's faces, so Li Yuanhong wanted to give everyone one. Reassurance.
Soon, Li Yuanhong arranged the tasks of the troops, but instead of breaking out that day, Li Yuanhong chose early the next morning. Firstly, he wanted to stabilize the morale of the troops. Secondly, Li Yuanhong wanted to find a way to clean up the skeleton archers around them. These bows and arrows The hand poses a great threat to breakout.
The army received supplies, which restored the momentum of the army, especially Li Yuanhong's ability, which caused many soldiers to blindly worship Li Yuanhong.
"Brother, you know, Commander Li is simply a god."
"What's wrong?"
"The company commander and I went to collect supplies. Many companies before me had received supplies. I thought there wouldn't be much supplies when we arrived here, but when we entered the supply receiving area, there were still piles of supplies. I heard that the soldiers who distributed the supplies said that the supplies were conjured up by the commander-in-chief."
"What? Did the Commander-in-Chief conjure it up? Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief knows magic!"
"That's why I said the commander-in-chief is a god!"
Such words of admiration spread among the troops, which caused the troops' lowered morale to slowly begin to recover.
That night, the zombies began to attack the army's location crazily again. However, with sufficient ammunition and strong firepower, the zombies attacked in waves, which became an act of suicide. Li Yuanhong took advantage of the zombie attack and secretly went to the roof and took out his golden bow. He was shot with so many arrows by the skeleton archers during the day. Li Yuanhong was not going to let go of these skeletons.
When he reached the top of the building, Li Yuanhong immediately opened the Eye of Reality. The darkness of the night could no longer block Li Yuanhong's vision. Soon, Li Yuanhong found the skeleton archers who attacked him during the day.
So Li Yuanhong opened his bow and arrow and pointed it at a skeleton archer. As soon as Li Yuanhong let go, a burst of magic rippled in the air, and the magic arrow he shot disappeared from the air.
At this time, the skeleton archer was drawing his bow and shooting arrows at the human army. His bow and arrows could often pass through the wall and injure the soldiers behind the wall. This made the skeleton archer's eyes constantly spraying green fire, which looked particularly weird.
But at this moment, the bow and arrow that disappeared in the air suddenly appeared in front of the skeleton. Before the skeleton could understand it, the magic arrow shot directly into the eye socket of the skeleton. The skeleton was excited and spitting fire just now. The skeleton suddenly turned off, and the white skull was shot out directly and rolled far away before stopping.
