A week later, Jianghan Road, Xinhua Avenue, Rongcheng.
More than half a year has passed since the disaster broke out. Before the zombies were completely cleaned up, General Li took his staff and moved back to the headquarters of the Rongcheng Military Region. Naturally, the headquarters of the Second Theater Command also Located here.
Footsteps sounded in the somewhat empty building, and a major staff officer opened the door to the conference room with a happy face.
He didn¡¯t even care to look at the situation in the conference room, raised a document in his hand, and said loudly: ¡°Report to the commander, report to the chief of staff, at 11:17 a.m. on May 7, Chengdu will be fully recovered!¡±
The noise in the conference room suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their attention to the staff officer standing at the door.
General Li was pointing at a map on the conference table and telling Huan Chu the history of the Rongcheng Military Region. When he heard the staff officer's words, he didn't even notice that a pen in his hand fell to the ground, and said with a trembling tone. : "Are you sure?"
The staff officer's face was full of excitement and he said loudly: "It's absolutely certain! After another inspection, no traces of zombies were found inside Chengdu! Chengdu has truly been restored!"
"Really?"
"Have all the zombies been killed?"
"Rongcheng is restored!"
I don¡¯t know who shouted, and every officer in the conference room cheered happily. At this time, regardless of their identity, everyone threw their military caps into the sky and hugged each other in celebration.
Even General Li had a rare look of joy on his face. He held Huan Chu's hand tightly, and his pursed lips seemed to tell everyone his mood at the moment.
Although everyone already knew that this would be the result, the moment they heard the news, they still couldn't help but jump for joy. Not only because this was the first successful battle to recapture a very large city on Earth, but also because this battle wiped out more than five million zombies!
This victory belongs to all mankind!
The soldiers who were working at their posts outside heard the cheers in the conference room and began to whisper, wondering what happy event had happened. It wasn't until a few officers left the conference room to deal with follow-up matters that they realized that at this moment, Chengdu was truly fully recovered.
The entire command headquarters has become a sea of ??joy!
Huan Chu was almost the only person in the headquarters who remained calm. Although the number of zombies in Chengdu seems to be far greater than that of other war zones, in fact it is the easiest city to conquer.
Because all the more than ten high-level zombies in Chengdu had been slaughtered by Huan Chu two months ago. In other cities, if high-level zombies hide and command ordinary zombies to launch a counterattack by remote control, the army will definitely not be happy.
Once air strikes are launched on those cities, Huan Chu has absolutely reason to believe that those high-level zombies hiding will blow up all the bombers in the sky into a pile of scrap metal without hesitation.
Moreover, this counterattack took a full month to prepare. From the moment the counterattack was decided, reconnaissance aircraft and spy satellites had already carried out comprehensive control of Chengdu. After a month of investigation, the command headquarters had carried out a comprehensive surveillance of all large groups of zombies. The gathering place has been mapped out clearly.
Even under such circumstances, damage was still caused after the ground troops entered. More than 2,000 soldiers were buried in this land, and hundreds of soldiers who were attacked by zombies were tearfully handled by the military police.
Although compared with previous battles, such losses were negligible, but it still shocked Huan Chu. After all, he is not a professional soldier like General Li, and it is impossible for him to regard each living person as a pile of numbers.
When sitting at the headquarters, every time a staff officer came to convey casualty information, Huan Chu's heart twitched. If possible, he even hopes to use Cyborgs as the vanguard to turn the entire Chengdu city upside down and then let the army in.
But this idea is not feasible at all. There are less than 500 reformers in the entire alliance. Even if they are all transferred, it will probably take several months or even half a year to sweep through Chengdu. Neither the central government nor Huan Chu himself can do this. patience.
Therefore, although casualties were unavoidable, General Li chose the most time-saving and labor-saving method and directly dispersed all the soldiers. Within a week, Chengdu was finally firmly in human hands.
"Electrify the central government No! Electrify the whole country!"
General Li finally regained consciousness and looked at the excited subordinates in front of him. When he saw several staff officers taking out banknotes to prepare records, he slowly said:
"On April 30, 2013, one hundred thousand tigers from our second theater launched a counterattack against Chengdu! On the same day, the air force launched an indiscriminate bombing of Chengdu, killing countless zombies.
On May 1, the first batch of troops from our war zone entered Chengdu and retook the headquarters of the Chengdu Military Region at 7:40 that night. In this battle, 1,733 loyal and brave soldiers were killed.
On May 7, at 11:17 a.m., our army had full control of Chengdu, and 2,114 soldiers died in this battle.
There are no more zombies inside and outside the city!
??Rongcheng, recover! "
General Li looked at everyone¡¯s excited faces, smiled, and continued:
¡°The zombies will be wiped out and humanity will be resurrected!
Long live the Republic! Long live the Chinese nation! Long live all mankind!
Li, the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater Command, and Huan, the chief of staff. Chen Yu. "
This telegram was sent on May 7. Since during the Republic of China, "every word in telegrams was gold", many warlords or politicians used words to replace the date when sending telegrams. In May, the earthly branch "chen" was used, and the seventh day was "chen". Yu, so this telegram is also called "Chen Yu Telegram".
The sentence "indiscriminate bombing of Chengdu" provides great clues for later historians to study the destruction of Chengdu. If General Li had not died long ago, he would have been under great pressure.
Of course, these are all things for later.
An hour after General Li¡¯s telegram was sent, the Chairman¡¯s temporary office at the Central Station in Lhasa.
"Chairman, Chairman!"
The current Prime Minister of the Republic, the old man with more than ten thousand people, pushed aside the guard who tried to support him, and ran in with some staggering steps, completely losing his previous calmness and grace.
Since the disaster broke out, he has been criticized by all major forces and people, and has been under considerable pressure. Although his hair has turned gray, he still maintains his due dignity in front of others.
It¡¯s just that now he doesn¡¯t look as majestic as before. The glasses on the bridge of his nose have gone somewhere, and his face is full of excitement.
"Prime Minister, what made you so rude?" The chairman, who was writing at his desk, put down the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, and frowned slightly.
The Prime Minister has always been a cautious person, and he has never been like this.
But the Prime Minister has worked with the Chairman for almost half a century, so he has no intention of hiding his feelings in front of the Chairman. He raises the telegram in his hand and can't hide the joy in his tone.
"I just received a telegram from Commander Li of the Second Theater Command. I sent it to you personally. Just an hour ago, after the bloody battle of our soldiers, Rongcheng was liberated!"
With a muffled sound of "dang", the glasses that the chairman was wiping fell to the ground.
"What did you say?" The old man's voice was trembling.
"Rongcheng has been restored!"
The other gray-haired old man could no longer control himself and said in a hissing voice. When he said the last word, he even choked slightly.
No one knows what kind of pressure these two old men who control the fate of the Republic will bear in the end of the world. They have to face not only zombies, but also countless forces like the Tang family who want to split the country. They have to be careful every step they take, not daring to make the slightest mistake, for fear of ruining a great country. In your own hands.
But although the Chairman also serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Republic¡¯s Armed Forces, he is not a real soldier. In the end of the world, an era when soldiers are in power, there are even many generals who respect themselves as soldiers and are not willing to obey his command.
This time he finally withstood the pressure, re-divided the war zone, and appointed his most trusted General Li as the commander-in-chief of the second war zone, not only to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the zombies, but also to regain the government's authority. A voice to bring the country back to the right path from the hands of the warlords.
And after being reminded by several generals who were close to him, the chairman even gave the rebellious Huanchu the title of chief of staff of the Second Theater Zone, which deterred all forces who wanted to take action on the Second Theater Zone.
But he didn¡¯t expect that with Huan Chu¡¯s help, he would not only firmly hold the second theater in his hands, but also achieve an unprecedented victory that could shock the world.
Thinking of the word "big victory", the chairman controlled his emotions and asked: "How are the casualties of the frontline soldiers?"
The old man handed the document in his hand to the desk and said: "Only 3,847 people were killed in total!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The chairman said three good words in a row, and stood up from his chair.He stood up and said, "Lao Li did a great job this time!"
¡°If Chengdu is recaptured, but all the 120,000 troops in hand are consumed, then no matter how brilliant the results of this battle are, the Chairman will still not be interested.
"Immediately send a congratulatory message to the front line!" The white-haired chairman said while pacing in the office: "Yes, after sending the congratulatory message, make arrangements quickly and I will go to Chengdu in person to celebrate the soldiers!"
The Prime Minister nodded and followed the Chairman's order.
After hesitating for a moment. The Prime Minister asked: "Chairman, where is the capital?"
"It doesn't matter, I believe in his ability." An indescribable light suddenly appeared in the chairman's eyes, and he said: "Maybe one day, he will become a rare soldier who can seal the situation."
