[Daily Mission (Time-limited): Kill the food convoy from Fallout Shelter 12988 to Wild Wolf Town. [Reward: 50 Technology Points]

Related to Wild Wolf Town?!

Zhao Yu was delighted upon realizing the daily mission was connected to Wild Wolf Town. This meant he could weaken Wild Wolf Towns strength and earn daily mission rewards simultaneously.

However, he wondered about the force of this grain transport convoy.

Zhao Yu thought it best to leave the matter to professionals. He quickly called three sergeant commanders and briefed them on the mission, asking if they had a plan.

Report, Commander, to know the enemy and know ourselves is to be victorious in every battle. I need to dispatch the reconnaissance team to understand the enemys strength, the commanders responded.

Being sergeants, their abilities were limited, and they couldnt offer suggestions without sufficient intelligence.

Zhao Yu hesitated. He only had three combat squads and a guard platoon at his disposal.

The base currently had fifteen soldiers in combat squads and thirty in the guard platoon, all soldiers.

Taking all 45 might not guarantee victory.

Especially as he felt somewhat less confident commanding the 30 from the guard platoon after his last ambush experience.

He checked his tech points and, coincidentally, had exactly 20 points.

20 points to train a commander

He hesitated; 20 tech points equated to twenty soldiers or four regular special forces soldiers.

Forget it, lets take a look!

Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and spent 20 technology points, waiting another five minutes before the commanding officer emerged from the training camp.

Zhao Yu immediately informed him of his current task and asked if the commander had any ideas.

Report, sir, their purpose this time is to transport foods, not to ambush, so the number of people they bring must not be many

Based on the power distribution around Wild Wolf Town, they certainly wont be too worried about the safety of this transport team

The commander was very capable. After looking at the hand-drawn map, he quickly drew conclusions and formulated a battle plan.

However, the equipment mentioned made Zhao Yu hesitant.

Is a rocket launcher absolutely necessary?

He had a rocket launcher, but without ammunition, which was as good as not having one.

The equipment requirement given by the commanding officer was at least six rocket launchers and twelve rockets.

If there are no rocket launchers to support, the success rate of this operation is only 69.33% the commander stated calmly and confidently.

And if we have them?

81.65%.

Zhao Yu stroked his chin, not knowing how this win rate was calculated, but he thought it was worth a try.

He had a box of pistol bullets transported to the munitions factory for recycling.

The result was as he expected, a 20% loss, but fortunately, it was converted back to raw materials.

Looking at the resources needed to exchange for rocket ammunition, he found that one box of bullets pushed the progress to about 90%.

With this, a dozen boxes of bullets should be enough!

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, worried that the shortfall in rocket ammunition would be too great, but thankfully, it was manageable.

However, the amount of bullets consumed was significant, with one box containing 1,500 rounds, and a dozen boxes amounting to nearly 20,000 rounds.

Fortunately, he had brought back several tens of thousands of rounds from his last trip to Black Wind Stronghold, so he had enough for the time being.

Recycling with a loss wasnt usually a good deal, but in the current situation, Zhao Yu had no other concerns.

After a while.

Twelve rockets were made.

Beside them were twelve rocket launchers.

On the other side, the commander had already prepared his weapons and was ready to set off at any time.

Sir, we can only carry six rocket launchers

Huh??!

This was too much?

The vehicles load is limited. Bringing six more rocket launchers will reduce the success rate of this operation the commander said.

Zhao Yu gave a thumbs up and praised, Professional, lets do as you said, bring six rocket launchers!

Under the arrangement of the commander officer, three combat squads each boarded a vehicle and set off first.

Following them was a temporary squad made up of five soldiers, escorting Zhao Yu as they departed.

At the base, 25 soldiers remained in the guard and continuing to protect the base.

The commander officer had a maximum command limit of 20 people, so the number of personnel he could bring was limited. The extra soldier was a.s.signed for Zhao Yu to command.

Zhao Yu didnt have much to command, having one more person with him was just to help out with miscellaneous tasks.

With the commander officer handling the coordination, Zhao Yu was much more relaxed, as many things didnt require his direct involvement.

His only task was to wait for specific times when the commander officer would tell him which orders to give.

Then he would simply authorize actions as instructed by the commander officer.

Of course, to prevent any unforeseen circ.u.mstances, Zhao Yu also gave advance authorization to the commander officer, allowing him to respond directly in special situations without needing to consult him.

For instance, in the event of another ambush like the previous one, the commander officer could organize a counterattack immediately.

Under the commander officers coordination, they might not face any ambush at all.

Just like now, Zhao Yu was accompanied by only two vehicles.

The a.s.sault and reconnaissance squads that had gone ahead were already out of sight, clearly having embarked on a mission as directed by the commander officer..
