236. Chapter 234 The Second Ring of Chasing Light City
Chapter 234 The Second Ring Road of Chasing Light City
In Zhuguang City, Tang Zheng and a group of officers were watching the electronic simulation map in the combat command center.
This electronic simulation map is a high-tech product of the command center. It can include areas that have been explored by war eagles into the simulation map.
As a result, the panoramic map became larger and larger, and now Hezhou has been simulated.
Except for the absence of people, every street, every house there, and even every big stone on the riverside are within the scope of the simulation.
With this kind of real-life map, the effect of combat command is more intuitive and effective.
Zhu Chen, the director of the command center, is in charge of explaining at the moment.
"General, we have already analyzed the crisis in Hezhou, and the current situation is roughly like this."
"The zombies are heading straight to Hezhou from the southwest. Hezhou has no city walls and cannot effectively defend itself. There is a Xiangshui River in the southwest. In the past, it could have stopped the zombies, but now it is the middle of winter and the river is frozen. On the contrary,
It has become a smooth road, which is already dangerous."
At this time, Hu Yuhang, the battalion commander of the Lu Hang Battalion, suddenly said: "I thought of a way, which is to blow up Xiangshui. This can buy time. What is lacking there now is time."
Zhu Chen smiled, and then manually added a zombie on the simulated map.
After the zombies, a number X10 million was added, so 10 million zombies were generated on the simulated map.
He made a few more adjustments and pulled the tens of thousands of corpses into a line of a hundred kilometers.
"Everyone can pay attention. This is a group of 10 million zombies coming from the southwest. The current planned route is the Xiangshui River. If the fifth group blows up the ice of the Xiangshui River at this time, then the zombies will
It will be diverted to both sides.”
"This speed will be very fast. Unless you keep blowing up, you still won't be able to stop the zombies from advancing."
"Of course, it is possible to gain time, it just depends on how much you gain."
"If you want to buy more time, the time and method of blowing up the ice are very important. After repeated calculations, we found that the interval type of ice blowing is the most effective. That means placing explosives within three hundred meters, and then three
If you don’t arrange it for 100 meters, you will continue to arrange it for the next 300 meters, this way.”
"The time is to wait for the zombies to approach the shore of Xiangshui and start to cross the river before detonating them one by one. This way, the attack range of the zombies can be limited to the three hundred meters wide river surface, so that the ice can be used to fight.
First use rifles to annihilate as many zombies as possible. Once the zombies have accumulated to a certain extent, blow up the ice and let the zombies fall into the water. If you attack them step by step, you can theoretically lead the zombies all the way downstream."
"Of course, that's because zombies don't have intelligence, so this group of zombies won't always fall into the trap, but according to our analysis, there's still no problem in giving it three days."
At this time, Jiang Hao from the Armored Battalion raised a question: "Then what is the use of these three days? As you said, the corpses will still come. Where are the more than three million people in Hezhou going?"
Zhu Chen continued: "It's very simple, build a city wall and conduct defensive operations."
Jiang Hao was a little puzzled: "How many walls can be built in three days? It's too late."
Tang Zheng spoke at this time: "It's definitely too late for an ordinary city wall, but Hezhou has a natural advantage, that is, there are ice layers from two large rivers. These ice blocks are cut off and piled up quickly, and water is poured on them.
, the city wall will appear immediately."
After Tang Zheng finished speaking, many people's eyes lit up.
If we follow this method, we can really build a city wall in a short time. Although it may not be as strong and durable as Chasing Light City, it will at least be much better than now.
After listening to Zhu Chen's explanation, Tang Zheng nodded: "You are right, this is indeed the best way to buy as much time as possible, so that there is a possibility of miracles happening, but I believe that the Fifth Army,
We can also think of ways to avoid traveling too much. Our top priority now is what we should do next."
Tang Zheng turned to look at everyone, "First, we need to expand the city area."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The Fifth Army was fighting over there, so why did Zhuguang City expand its urban area? Tang Zheng ignored everyone, came to the virtual map, and drew a circle around Zhuguang City with his hand.
"This circle is part of the farmland area we originally reserved, but now it seems there is no need to retain it. This area of about 40 square kilometers has been completely developed into a city."
After hearing Tang Zheng's words, everyone had some awareness.
This is to expand the population size. As for where the population comes from, it is self-evident.
Ji Yuntian couldn't help but excitedly said: "General, are we going to build the second ring of Light Chasing City?"
Tang Zheng smiled: "It's almost the same, but the area of the second ring road is large enough, and it will probably be more lively than the first ring road in the future."
As he said that, Tang Zheng turned to look at Guo Yun: "Is there any way to build high-rise buildings in the city, but without being able to peek into the inner city from the high-rise buildings?"
Guo Yun shook his head slightly: "General, it's not possible now, but if you upgrade to brigade commander, I will have a way to do it."
"Okay, then there's no problem."
Seeing Tang Zheng's high interest, Guo Yun couldn't help but said: "General, are you really sure that people from Hezhou will come to us?"
Tang Zheng thought for a moment: "It's not possible for the time being. Now Liu Yibang is so crazy that he probably won't listen to anyone else's words, but it will be fine soon, because as long as the Fifth Army cannot withstand the zombie offensive, everything will be fine."
If changes occur, the people of Hezhou will not sit still and wait for death, not to mention Princess Li Wuyou is here, they will definitely find a way to leave."
Guo Yun added: "But that is a city besieged by 10 million zombies. It's not like they can escape if they want. I haven't figured out how those millions of people in Hezhou are going to leave now.
"
Tang Zheng raised his hand and pointed at the map: "You may have ignored this place."
Everyone looked up and understood immediately.
Tang Zheng issued a strict order in Zhuguang City to seal the city! All city gates were closed tightly, no one was allowed to go out, and outsiders were not allowed to enter the city.
All checkpoints are blocked and vehicles are not allowed to pass.
And he started a new round of construction just outside the city of Chasing Light.
Zhuguang City now covers an area of ten square kilometers, with Guyun Mountain to the west and north.
But to the east and south, there are vast wildernesses, which used to be farmland but are now deserted.
This area is not small, covering hundreds of square kilometers.
Tang Zheng has now designated forty square kilometers and is ready to start construction.
After such a long period of accumulation, Tang Zheng had very abundant supplies.
Cement, bricks, steel, sand and gravel, etc. are all available.
According to the designated area, Tang Zheng began to encircle the wall.
The construction of a 20-meter high-grade city wall is 40 kilometers long.
Still relying on the mountainous area for construction, Tang Zheng set aside a long and narrow passage in the northeast corner for trains to enter and exit, and the rest of the area was all residential areas.
The sentry tower and machine gun bunker were placed according to the proportions of the previous city walls, and then came the various city gates.
This time the south gate has eight gates and a water gate, and the east gate has four gates.
This time, nearly half of the battlefield where we fought against the zombie hordes was surrounded by the city.
Beyond the south gate, and further out, we are almost at the spot where the truck bomb exploded.
One advantage of enclosing this area is that there is basically no need to level the land. After the battle, there is no weeds here at all.
The city wall here was circled, and the engineering troops immediately moved in to carry out some simple basic work.
Such as snow removal, building temporary color steel houses, transporting coal, building public toilets, pulling wires, etc.
Various departments in Zhuguang City also acted quickly and began to enter the new city area to carry out a new round of construction.
Tang Zheng also discovered that the number of city guard troops was no longer enough.
The defense work in this new city is very heavy. The outer wall alone requires at least one battalion of soldiers to guard it.
Tang Zheng looked at his military strength. There were now more than 26,000 people in the Light Chasing Army.
Tang Zheng thought for a while and decided to add another city guard camp.
City Guards Second Battalion.
There are 2,500 people in a battalion, and Tang Zheng still has more than 10 million in funds at the moment, which is completely enough.
Ten million of this was extorted from Daliao, otherwise there would really be very little money now.
It used to be 15 million, but the construction of new city walls, guard towers, machine gun bunkers, etc. cost a total of 3.2 million, and I still have 12 million on hand.
The city guard does not need to be equipped with too many vehicles, just some simple vehicles and a large number of soldiers.
Among them, snipers, heavy machine gun teams, and flamethrower warriors are the three special arms of the city guard.
The rest are a large number of mobilized soldiers, as well as a certain number of military dogs and logistics soldiers.
The average cost of a company is slightly higher than that of a field unit with vehicles, about 150,000 gold.
Tang Zheng directly replenished eight companies, as well as the cooking platoon, medical platoon, and guard platoon.
With the addition of battalion commanders and correspondents, the Second City Guard Battalion will be fully staffed.
1.3 million gold was spent to build a second battalion of city guards.
The battalion commander was the adjutant of the former City Guard Battalion and was directly promoted to the battalion commander of the Second City Guard Battalion.
When this unit was completed, Tang Zheng saw that the total strength of the Light Chasing Army had reached 29,100.
There is still a gap of 900 men, and the entire regiment can be fully staffed.
Tang Zheng did not immediately replenish these 900 men, leaving some movable troops and space.
After the personnel of the second battalion were in place, Tang Zheng did not let them defend the city.
There was nothing to defend in the city now, so he asked these people to go directly to Caiqi County.
Over in Caiqi County, the main force is still fighting fiercely against the zombies, and it is estimated that the battle will be over in about a week.
The Second Battalion of City Guards used to serve as the main force. They should take advantage of this period to practice and at least upgrade to three stars.
If you don't practice now, you might go to the battlefield in a while and face life and death.
Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. Tang Zheng understood this principle very well.
Tang Zheng's fifteen million funds have turned into tens of millions worth of zero.
Most of the cement, sand, gravel, steel bars, etc. that were accumulated at the beginning were consumed.
Tang Zheng didn't know what it was like to pay such a huge price and countless supplies.
He didn't even know whether he expected the Fifth Army to win or lose.
However, it is still right to prepare for a rainy day and do many things in advance. Next, it will be a matter of looking at the performance of the Fifth Army and Liu Yibang.
