Chapter 144 Demon

However, despite the impressive results and the fact that it took only one battle to declare sovereignty over the rats in Kangyue County, Zhou You felt that this night was not perfect.

The expeditionary force failed to achieve a complete victory tonight and suffered a lot of casualties.

The number of casualties reached hundreds, and the number of wounded was thousands.

But there is no way.

In the third round of battle, Zhou You himself has already gone into battle, and all available combat power of the expeditionary force has been mobilized.

Even many non-combatants who just joined the expeditionary force today rushed out with their weapons in the later stages.

It can be said that I went all out and held nothing back.

At certain stages during the battle, almost all the ammunition has been empty, and the weapon can only be used close to the weapon.

Fortunately, the emergency production workshops in each vehicle never stopped, so we were able to replenish ammunition and arms while fighting.

The elites on the expeditionary force can barely use long-range weapons intermittently.

Although the losses of the third wave of rats were extremely heavy, unlike the previous two groups of rats, the third wave of rat troops had no intention of retreating at all. It was clear that they wanted all of them to die here, and they were extremely brave.

It can be seen from this that even if they are both rat kings, the personalities of different rat kings are different.

Although the expeditionary force burned 300,000 rats during the day, the scene and the location of the battle were different, and the situation was also different.

The fearless rats were mixed with the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and there was really no way to pour gasoline and light a fire.

However, this situation was originally expected by Zhou You and Deng Tao.

Two consecutive fires during the day caused great harm to the rats in Kangyue County, but they failed to kill all the rats present at the time.

It's been so long now, the news should have been transmitted more or less.

It is impossible for rats in this county to be defenseless nowadays.

Zhou You even suspected that the reason why this third wave of rats was so crazy was to force him to attack with fire, and then let the rats covered in gasoline forcefully break into the human convoy and attack fire with fire.

Not only that, during the close combat, the soldiers of the expeditionary force actually discovered old faces.

The elite members of the first and second waves of rats who had successfully escaped before regrouped and infiltrated into the third wave of rats to fight back.

Judging from the situation of the fight, the third wave of rats that arrived are definitely some of the most elite members of the tribal alliance consisting of two to three hundred thousand rats currently active in Kangyue County.

The Kangyue Rat Group wanted to complete their work in one battle and fight to the death.

This is exactly what traveling around means.

There is no doubt that as long as this battle is won tonight, the vitality of the rat tribe in Kangyue County will at least be severely damaged.

Before coming here, Zhou You was worried that the situation here would be too complicated and would cause delays for too long.

Now we can fight a decisive battle on the first day here. Although it is a little rushed, it couldn't be better.

This is war. It is impossible for the enemy to always be so obedient and just squat in one place waiting to be set on fire and burned to death.

If the expeditionary force did not choose to act alone tonight, but stayed in the granary in compliance with the wishes of the Kangyue County Government, then this battle might not have happened.

But if the actions in Lelai County are replicated step by step tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the buildings are swept out in a scattered manner, I am afraid that at most only 10,000 to 20,000 rats can be eliminated in a day, and after two or three days, these rats will have enough time to calm down.

Think and react that this group of outsiders is completely different from the humans of the past.

Then, the actions of the rats will inevitably become more covert. We do not even rule out the possibility that the rats in the city will immediately migrate on a large scale and hide in the suburbs of the city. They may also simply move to the enemy-occupied area to avoid the edge of the expeditionary force.

.

This will not only bring huge risks to the people who are still trapped outside the city, but also leave massive difficulties for the subsequent eradication work.

Therefore, tonight's seemingly sudden encounter was originally a deliberate attempt by Zhou You to lure the snake out of its hole after discussing with Deng Tao.

When dealing with the two groups of rats in front, the reason why the killer humanoid armor was not deployed was to prevent the rats that might appear behind from being scared away.

However, the effect of luring the snake out of its hole was so good that it exceeded expectations.

As a result, the expeditionary force was under too much pressure and suffered casualties.

Fortunately, after nearly two hours of crazy killing, the rats in Kangyue County were indeed severely weakened and unable to survive.

The one-man airships and drone sentries that have been patrolling the perimeter have never seen the subsequent army of rats, and they probably will not come again.

Otherwise, if the rats can still mobilize more than 100,000 elite troops, then the expeditionary force will have to abandon its station immediately and obediently go to the granary to join the large forces of Kangyue County.

At this time, Zhou You was patrolling outside the parking lot wall with a small number of people driving a No. 9 electric kart equipped with an external armor module.

At the same time, he himself had to decide whether to place a gasoline burning strip on the ground to prevent possible raids by rats.

It's obviously not time to relax tonight.

After repeated research, Zhou You himself came to a conclusion, "There should be no rats attacking tonight, and the combatants can take a break. But the logistics staff may have to work hard tonight. The original plan was to be in the supermarket parking lot.

An electric grid was installed on the fence, but now that the rats have found a way to restrain the electric grid, we can only change our thinking and build more defensive bunkers."

"In addition, the ammunition collection, production and armor repair work cannot be stopped tonight. Behind the three waves of elite rat swarms, there must be at least 300,000 young rats in total. If possible, I hope we can go out as soon as possible tomorrow to carry out the

A city-wide manhunt."

Just as Zhou You finished speaking, his cell phone next to him rang.

The caller was Deng Tao.

Deng Tao said on the phone: "The officials of Kangyue County have initially watched the excerpts of our battle video, fully believe in our results, and agreed to immediately organize an action team to carry out operations overnight to eliminate as many young rats as possible

.In addition, I suggest that they send more people to operate on the second ring road of the county. I think there is likely to be a group of rats migrating overnight tonight, and that is a good opportunity to beat the fallen dogs and expand the results."

Zhou Yougao nodded and said: "The third base station has been manufactured. Our main combat members do need to rest tonight, but many of the pilots of the single-person airship and Langya 3 airship have not previously undertaken combat missions.

All of them should also be sent out to assist Kang Yue's operational troops in collecting intelligence, observing the movements of the rat swarms from the air, and reporting the situation to them at any time. Brother Tao, I'll do your best tonight, stay up all night, and be the dispatcher coordinating the actions of both parties.

"

Deng Tao, who was on the opposite side, was obviously very excited and responded seriously: "Sure, no problem."

That night, Zhouyou slept pretty well.

Although he was busy outside, he felt quite at ease after three fierce battles with Shen Ling.

The next morning, when Zhou You woke up, he found that Shen Ling had disappeared. Only the black and white cat in the cat cage next to him was staring straight at him with a pair of big eyes.

This cat lived a life that probably no cat before had ever enjoyed.

Being able to sleep with the owner every day, the smell must be quite familiar.

Perhaps it was because he had been living with humans day and night for too long, and Zhou Youyou carefully cared for Black and White's psychological growth process under An Xin's guidance, making it gradually become more humane.

After Zhou You got up, he first drove his high-performance drone around Kangyue County alone.

Now, with two Langya 3 airships hoisting aerial base stations suspended in mid-air, basic communications have been restored, and one person can indeed go further when acting alone.

As you travel around, you can clearly see the smoke filling the county.

In these smoke areas, many rat corpses can be clearly seen. Most of them are young rats, and about one-third of them are adult rats. However, judging from the size of the corpses, most of them should be female rats.

There are no more rats strutting through the streets.

Although the streets still looked chaotic, the rising smoke made the city a little more popular than yesterday.

While Zhou You was watching, he made a simple assessment in his mind, and at the same time he was listening to the battle report from the expeditionary force staff.

Although the Kangyue County Government was somewhat overwhelmed, it still took some action at critical moments.

Last night, Kangyue County Government mobilized nearly 60,000 people.

Due to the heavy workload and insufficient number of original operatives, Kangyue County Government was forced to conduct temporary selections, leaving some people who were originally excluded from the battle sequence and wanted to go out to fight, but could not even pick up weapons. People with no qualifications became temporary reinforcements, doubling the number of combatants on the spot.

There are about fifty vehicles available at the granary, including more than twenty trucks, which is just enough for the full deployment of the 60,000 people.

Although the equipment of the newly added combatants is really high-end, basically only having wood chip armor, the elite rats in the city have suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the Lelai Expeditionary Force. The operational troops of Kangyue County Government have not encountered too strong resistance, and the raid plan has been carried out. It went very smoothly.

In short, after this night, Kangyue County can barely be regarded as a place where people can stay.

After completing the individual reconnaissance operation, Zhouyou returned to the convoy and called the mid-level and high-level personnel of the expeditionary force for a small meeting.

Deng Tao, who had not slept all night, did not attend the meeting.

Those air combat personnel who were deployed all night were also trying to catch up on their sleep after a busy night.

At this small meeting, Zhou You first praised the logistics staff for their efforts last night and announced that they would be given a day off during the day.

After a whole night of work, the expeditionary force's ammunition reserves were once again very abundant, even more than yesterday.

The reason is very simple. The production line here has never stopped, and the operators have also carried out basic treatment of the rat carcasses in the parking lot.

But it is also a pity that we still could not dig out all the ammunition embedded in the mouse corpse.

That workload is really too much.

However, after the logistics staff restored contact with Lelai County, they worked together to come up with a new method based on the actual situation.

At about two or three in the morning, Kangyue County Government sent a super-powerful diesel generator with an astonishing power of 500 kilowatts. The total mass of the entire machine reached five tons. It was installed in a heavy truck.
