Chapter 41 Talking about soldiers
After announcing the troop mobilization, the next step is to implement the specific troop dispatch plan. Even if there are only a few hundred people, if you really want to dispatch troops, there is a lot of preparation work that needs to be done. It is impossible to just carry a bicycle and go out like Xiang Ningxuan did when he set off.
.
The tank regiment currently has three school-level officers, namely lieutenant colonel political commissar Lu Huasheng, lieutenant colonel chief of staff Chu Xiongtian, and major battalion commander Zhang Luyang.
At this time, the three of them and Xiang Ningxuan were discussing the dispatch of troops tomorrow in a conference room in the administrative office building.
First, Xiang Ningxuan drew his route on the map. Starting from Xiangguang Community, passing through the entire main city area, and then the High-tech Development Zone. These two areas are not large, but they are both densely populated.
Region. The permanent population plus the floating population will be about three million before the end, so the number of survivors will be at least 300,000.
Next is Shuiyue District, where Xiang Ningxuan’s hometown Sanhe Village is located. This is the largest district in S City, with an original population of more than one million. Including the tank regiment’s residence, it is also in Shuiyue District. However, Sanhe Village and the Tank Regiment are also located in Shuiyue District.
One is in the east and the other is in the west, with a distance of more than 30 kilometers in between.
The area of Sanhe Village is the urban-rural fringe. There is no farmland anymore and it is all residential buildings, shops and factories. There are old villages like Sanhe Village, as well as newly built commercial buildings and shopping malls.
On the side of the military base are mountains, forests and agricultural areas. The rolling hills cut the land into patches, and the flat valleys in the middle are dotted with villages.
Xiang Ningxuan told Zhu Huan's prophecy to several officers. Although soldiers talk about materialism, the world has become like this. There are unscientific and magical things everywhere, and prophecies are also of the belief that "you must not disbelieve it, but you cannot believe it completely"
attitude.
According to Rongzheng's original plan, the main base of mankind in the future will be located in Shuiyue District. There is industry, agriculture, and a large amount of material reserves, which can maintain long-term sustainable development. Unlike the main urban area, which only has commercial services.
.
Therefore, Xiang Ningxuan suggested that after the troops leave the agricultural area and enter the urban-rural fringe, they should split up and occupy important targets such as the grain and oil wholesale market and gas companies. Then they should start to clear out wandering zombies in residential areas one by one.
Based on Xiang Ningxuan's experience, as long as the divided human beings can be reunited, the combat professionals among them can clean up the zombies themselves, and at least they can protect themselves. Moreover, residential areas like Sanhe Village that have calmed down the zombies first,
There is enough spare capacity to support other places. By then, the human control area will be able to expand like a snowball.
The military plays the role of firefighters, providing support wherever there are hard-to-gnaw bones.
In addition, an elite team was divided into carrying weapons and equipment and broke into the city.
Rong Zheng and the others are not short of soldiers, but they are very short of weapons. The arrival of reinforcements can boost people's morale. With weapons and morale, I believe Rong Zheng can take care of the main city on his own.
Chief of Staff Chu Xiongtian added: "In addition to granaries and natural gas, there are several places that are very critical. One is the petrochemical base, which stores tens of thousands of tons of oil. The other is the higher education sector. The importance of talents is self-evident. Finally,
, there is also a national strategic reserve warehouse, and the current situation is fully consistent with the conditions for using the national strategic reserve."
Chu Xiongtian said as he marked these locations on the map. The information on the military map was much better than Xiang Ningxuan's roadside stall map.
Lu Huasheng nodded and said: "I agree with this plan in principle, so Chief of Staff Chu will help improve the plan, and Battalion Commander Zhang will be responsible for leading the team. In terms of troop strength, two hundred people will be dispatched. Is there any problem?"
Chief of Staff Chu Xiongtian frowned and said: "Isn't two hundred people too many? In this case, there will only be a hundred people here. The monsters here are much stronger than elsewhere. I'm afraid there will be danger."
Lu Huasheng said decisively: "There are more than 300 civilians who are coming to the base one after another, and we should be able to recruit fifty or sixty people. The comrades in the city can make a living without the help of the army and relying solely on combat professionals among the civilians. I
I don’t believe it. More than a hundred of us can’t hold the position. In addition, take away as many tanks and vehicles as possible that can be used. If we need them here, we can wait for the mechanics to repair them before using them. We can pack as many weapons and ammunition as we can.
."
Chu Xiongtian said helplessly: "Okay then. I'll try my best to arrange it."
Seeing Lu Huasheng's generosity, Xiang Ningxuan quickly thanked him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Huasheng turned around and said: "I can give you the weapons and ammunition first, but you must write an IOU. This is just what I loaned to you, and you must pay it back with interest when the time comes."
"..." Xiang Ningxuan was speechless.
Lu Huasheng smiled and said: "What are you worried about? You don't have to pay it back yourself anyway, just let the leaders of the municipal party committee have a headache."
"..." Xiang Ningxuan gritted his teeth and suddenly slapped the table and said, "If you want to borrow more, borrow more! Lend me ten more instructors, a rocket launcher team, and a machine gun team. Give me another tank, the best one."
of!"
"..." Now, it was Lu Huasheng's turn to be speechless, "Why do you want a tank? You can't drive one."
"I have my own way of doing this." Xiang Ningxuan said confidently.
"As long as you have the ability to take it, that's fine."
————
Chu Xiongtian recruited several combat staff to study the marching route, troop composition, and monster information together to formulate a detailed combat plan. Occasionally, he would ask Xiang Ningxuan about the characteristics of zombies and other monsters.
At this time, it was getting late, so Lu Huasheng invited everyone to have dinner first. Lai Ye and others walked around and came to the administrative office building, where they happened to have dinner together.
Since all the backup generators at the regiment headquarters were used by the maintenance team to repair the tanks, even the administrative office building had no power, so they had to light candles to eat.
Tonight's meal was particularly sumptuous, with chicken, duck, beef and sheep filling the table.
"Old Lu! I can't tell you are so corrupt." After Xiang Ningxuan got acquainted with Lu Huasheng, he became casual and started joking while pointing at the dishes on the table.
Lu Huasheng shook his head and sighed: "Eat quickly, we can all have a big meal today. After this meal, it will not be easy to eat fresh meat in the future. Now the refrigerator has no power, so I asked the cook to cook all the meat
, and a lot of them are also made into bacon."
"Hey, then I have to eat enough." Xiang Ningxuan saw that the orc Samuro had chewed two large pieces of meat, and he praised it while eating. This Chinese meal was much better than the simple and crude barbecue of the orcs.
Seeing that he was eating so deliciously, Xiang Ningxuan, who had not eaten properly for two days, also had a huge appetite, so he quickly picked up a big beef bone and started to chew on it.
Lai Ye was the only one with a frown on his face, looking full of worries.
"Why don't you eat? Didn't you hear? After this meal, you will only be able to eat bacon from now on."
Lai Ye sighed quietly and said melancholy: "I think the first candlelight dinner in my life was eaten with a bunch of rough old men."
"Ah poof!" Xiang Ningxuan almost spit out all the meat in his mouth.
