Chapter 278: Fighting to the End (3)
Whether Ezekiel can escape or not, all he has to do is depend on himself.
At Hilltop, Sean was holding a walkie-talkie and angrily scolding Maggie across the street. Alan had taken the graduates out without permission and had also taken away Hilltop's heavy firepower, which made him furious.
He had just received urgent intelligence from the position that morning that corpses were spilling out of Washington and surrounding communities were at risk of being attacked.
Sean made a defense plan in the mansion, but when he came out he found that there were no more available men!
What if a group of zombies attacked the community at this time? The more Sean thought about it, the angrier he got. He contacted Alan several times but got no response. He could only vent his anger on Maggie.
"Sean, they're back!" Rick, who was standing on the sentry post, suddenly shouted.
Rick held the telescope and waved to Sean vigorously.
At the foot of the road leading to the mountaintop village, the convoy led by Alan was heading up the mountain. Rick ordered the guards to open the gate, while Sean had already prepared the words to criticize him.
Alan brought everyone back safely. Sean watched the graduates get off the bus silently, and counted the number of people in his mind. He was relieved when he saw that all the missing people were there.
Sean walked towards Alan who had just jumped out of the pickup truck and said gloomily: "I think you know that what you did is wrong."
Alan did not refute, but played Tai Chi: "Maybe, has the headquarters issued a new order?"
Sean choked and said with all his strength: "No, but you should give me an explanation for why you took them out!"
"People who support the Kingdom community, but we went too late. They have been conquered by the zombie tide." Alan said.
The graduates standing by watched the conversation between the two men trembling with fear. They were the ones caught in the middle. It seemed that the two superiors disagreed on this action.
"Carl, you're grounded."
Rick saw Carl also getting off the truck and spoke to Carl seriously.
Carl looked at Alan helplessly, but he stood there and did not move.
"I think you have misunderstood something." Alan wanted to protect her younger brother. She said to Rick and Sean, "The war will start soon, and we will definitely be assigned by the higher-ups."
Rick and Sean looked at each other. In fact, they had the same premonition. The Destiny Position had never backed down in the face of the threat of zombies, and had even been taking the initiative to eliminate them.
"Okay, Carl, but you have to behave yourself today." Rick changed his punishment for Carl.
Carl smiled and said to Alan, "Thank you, Alan."
Rick: “…?”
Rick felt tired, but at this time, the walkie-talkies on his and Sean's chests rang.
"Headquarters is dispatching armored forces to Washington. Alexandria and the leaders of the Hilltop Village community are ready to mobilize the people. You will be responsible for the food logistics of the army."
Rick and Sean looked at each other and replied with "Received".
It was autumn at this time, and Alan sighed: "It is a troubled autumn."
......
In Charlotte, a torrent of steel is moving on land, with endless tanks and infantry fighting vehicles heading towards Washington.
The journey was 600 kilometers long and the army had no supply points along the way. Kate had to work very hard to transfer transport personnel from major military bases in Georgia to maintain supplies for the armored forces.
The airport, where soldiers training were often seen before, now seems a bit empty. Apart from the guards, there are only people walking around in the major hangars.
Gunships and bombers are being maintained. These weapons, representing the most powerful firepower in modern times, are waiting for their chance to perform.
Reconnaissance planes have been dispatched first, and Kate is on her way to Washington. She has set up the armored forces in Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, and Richmond.
The three towns will be connected in series, with Highway 64 between the three points serving as the final line of defense against the sea of corpses in Washington. This line of defense is located in the southwest of Washington, cutting off the path for the sea of corpses to spread toward Charlotte.
On the road, Kate in the command vehicle was still deploying troops. Charlotte assembled the forces of two armored regiments, but this was not enough.
Kate also needs the strength of an armored regiment. Three regiments will form an armored combined brigade to control the defense line of Highway 64 first, and then give her enough time to mobilize troops from major military bases to reinforce and take over this defense line.
The latest images from drones show that the sea of corpses in Washington is spreading in all directions and moving very slowly. Some of the corpses are even lost in the mountains and forests, circling around in place.
The Destiny Position only needs to resist part of the sea of corpses, that is, the sea of corpses coming from the northeast. If the defense line is built smoothly, the armored forces can even take the initiative to advance to the north and approach the city of Washington.
At the current speed at which the sea of corpses was spreading, there was still enough time to hold the position. Kate estimated that it would take about four days for the sea of corpses to spread to the defense line she had set up, and it would not take even a day for the army to be in place.
The remaining three days may be quite tight for the engineering troops, but the armored regiments are no pushovers and can completely counter-advance against the sea of corpses to buy time for the engineering troops.
As long as Highway 64 is well controlled, subsequent logistical supplies will continue to flow, supporting the armored forces to advance. Even if they are not well-equipped, they can serve as a natural moat, turning the plains near the highway into an insurmountable battlefield with a sea of corpses!
Kate sat in the command vehicle with a calm expression, while her liaison personnel were concentrating on guarding the communication station, maintaining close contact with the various corps. At this time, the various corps were in the battle preparation stage, and there was no important matter for her to deal with personally.
However, at this moment, the liaison suddenly put down the headset and reported to Kate with a serious face: "Sir! News from Fort Benning! The Patriot successfully shot down a drone of an unknown force! It has been confirmed that it is a drone!"
"What?" Kate couldn't help but frown, her face full of astonishment. This was the first time she lost her composure since she came into this world.
An unknown force is spying on the military base of the Destiny Front? Who are they and what do they want?
Suddenly, a bad idea arose in Kate's mind. She seriously suspected that the remnants of this country had come to her.
Although she had discussed similar matters with Zhang Qiang before, the two had no practical way to deal with it and could only restart the prevention and control system to protect the safety of the position.
Unexpectedly, within just a few days, the air defense system had already shot down a drone.
Kate felt cold sweat all over her body. She felt that she had made a big mistake. Perhaps when the Destiny Fort was just established, she should have activated the air defense systems of major bases to prevent the remnants of the United States military and political forces from spying.
Now she didn't know how long the Tianming position had been spied on, and how she should explain to Zhang Qiang.
