Qin Zhi Han led nearly a thousand troops from the Huaxia Four Corps southward, advancing toward Y Base.
Before the apocalypse, Y Base was located in the southwestern part of the country, an economically underdeveloped area characterized by high plateaus and mountains, with picturesque and quaint scenery.
The group marched quickly and soon arrived at Y Base. At this time, Y Base was under the control of a local ethnic minority. This group numbered only about 5,000 nationwide but had retained many of their primitive lifestyles and customs. Qin Zhi Han and his team planned to pass through, so they stationed themselves near Y Base.
“Captain, although we won before, that was because S Base sent only their advance troops, who were not very strong. We cannot let our guard down; their regular army is still formidable and not easy to deal with,” Bai Zhen suggested, sounding a warning to everyone not to become arrogant after a single victory and lose sight of their own situation.
“Yes, Captain, we need to catch up with the Huaxia Corps as soon as possible. I heard they are negotiating with this ethnic minority to take a detour. However, there have been some disputes within the tribe over this matter, and things are currently unstable,” Li Yuxuan added.
“Indeed, the situation ahead is still quite severe. We are fighting alone without guidance or support, facing both the onslaught of zombies and the pursuit of the Government Army. We cannot be blindly optimistic just because of one victory. We must maintain a clear understanding that reuniting with the Huaxia Corps is our primary goal,” Qin Zhi Han said to the important generals in the room, speaking confidently. He was gradually showing signs of maturity and competence, slowly growing into a leader whom people could trust.
“Have you all considered why the Huaxia Corps chose this route? We cannot always passively chase them; we should think about their motivations. If we can identify their reasons, we might predict their movements and reunite with them more quickly,” Su Ruolan suddenly posed a question.
Yes, originally they could have gone directly north from H Base to reach B Base; why take a detour south to Y Base and then head straight for K Base? This was a classic case of going south while intending to go north. It was known that this Huaxia Corps retained a larger number of troops compared to the Huaxia Army. Reports from other areas indicated that the Huaxia Army had been severely depleted and scattered; they could hardly survive in major cities like G City Base. Many soldiers had to hide their identities and operate covertly. Now there was a force of nearly ten thousand near B Base, alongside the Huaxia Corps. If these two groups could not grow stronger, the Government Army would completely suppress the uprising. At this moment, preserving their fighting strength became crucial.
“I see now; look at the map. The north is almost all plains with convenient transportation between major cities like G City Base. The government has deployed heavy troops in G Province and H Province, creating a large pocket. If we charge directly in, it would be like throwing meat buns to dogs. However, if we maneuver through the mountainous terrain, we can leverage our smaller numbers for guerrilla tactics; they won't be able to rely on heavy weapons to flatten us,” Bai Zhen realized.
“Yes, if it were before the apocalypse, with their existing weapons, they might have been able to wipe out several mountains in one go. But now weapons are becoming scarcer and more precious. If we are in the mountains, their large forces won't be able to maneuver effectively; we might even be able to collect spoils of war. If every encounter yields such rich rewards as before, we could really prosper,” Zhang Deputy Commander squinted his eyes as if envisioning a vast array of weapons and supplies flying toward them, looking very pleased.
“Indeed, a thousand years ago there was an old saying: when the enemy retreats, we advance; when they advance, we retreat; when they camp, we disturb them; when they tire, we strike. We can test this out well—on one hand integrating our forces while on the other gaining practical experience,” Qin Zhi Han said confidently. “The original troops have been scattered; our organization and personnel are incomplete. Based on our current numbers, I propose reorganizing our forces into three battalions: each battalion will have three companies; each company will consist of three platoons; each platoon will have three squads; each squad will contain ten people. Above each battalion will be a Captain's Committee for collective discussion and democratic centralized decision-making. The original Commander will remain unchanged; if a Commander falls in battle, an optimal selection will be made from among the Company Commanders through collective interviews by the Captain's Committee. The Captain's Committee will decide on both Commander and Company Commander candidates; the Commander will decide on Squad Leader Liu's candidate; and the Company Commander will decide on squad leader candidates. The Commander and Company Commander must report to the Captain's Committee for record-keeping. Currently, the Captain's Committee consists of five members: Ma Commander, Zhang Deputy Commander, myself, Deputy Regiment Su, and Bai Zhen; I suggest Bai Zhen serve as Secretary-General. What does everyone think?”
"Alright, I've been pondering this for a while, feeling that something was off, but I just hadn't gotten around to it. As a Commander, you only have one soldier; how can you fight a war? This matter needs to be put on the agenda, and bringing it up now is perfect." Ma Commander slapped his thigh and immediately agreed.
"I suggest that, for the sake of fairness and to enhance the team's cohesion and unity, we can adopt a two-way selection system. We determine the Commanders and Company Commanders, then let each decision-making level discuss and propose candidates for the corresponding positions. For instance, the Commanders can propose nine candidates for Company Commander, which will be decided by the Captain's committee. Then each Company Commander will draw lots to select their corresponding Commander, and once chosen, it cannot be changed. The Company Commanders will propose seven candidates for Squad Leader Liu, which will be decided by the Commanders, and then each Squad Leader Liu will draw lots to select their Company Commander. This process continues similarly. The difference lies in the soldier selection phase. Soldiers will be drawn separately to ensure that each squad has soldiers with different abilities. Everyone can work together for a while, and if we discover particularly strong individuals later on, we can form special forces. What do you think?" Su Ruolan looked at everyone, gathering their thoughts before tentatively sharing her ideas.
"This idea is excellent; it's relatively fair and serves as training for everyone's abilities. I think it works," Zhang Commander said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate our Deputy Team Leader Su; she's young but always hits the nail on the head with her questions. Her suggestions are practical and feasible. Impressive," Bai Zhen said, giving a thumbs up in genuine admiration.
"Indeed, the waves behind push those in front; women are not inferior to men," Ma Commander also expressed his appreciation, secretly pleased with his foresight. If he hadn't valued talent, he would have missed out on such a lucky gem. He felt proud of his keen insight as he looked at Su Ruolan, finding her exceptionally admirable.
"We should learn from Deputy Team Leader Su; I'm impressed," Wang Zhi, Feng Kai, and others expressed their admiration in unison.
Facing everyone's praise, Su Ruolan couldn't help but feel slightly shy but remained composed as she said, "Thank you all for your kind words. It's your discussions that provided me with some ideas; there’s still much for me to learn in the future, so please continue to guide me."
Seeing Su Ruolan gain everyone's recognition made Qin Zhi Han very happy inside. This outstanding woman was finally shining her light; more and more people would discover her beauty and be drawn to her. He was willing to put forth his utmost effort to create space for her to soar freely and live life to its fullest.
