301 Victory
"Reservists..." Hong Tao heard Yu Zhen's report through his earphones, and his face immediately fell.
I thought that setting up an army garrison would bring a lot of benefits, at least all kinds of heavy weapons and equipment, maybe tanks and artillery. But after a long time of effort, it was a reserve regiment headquarters.
What is the reserve force? It is just better than the militia. It is a semi-full-time force composed of retired officers and soldiers. There are definitely weapons, but they are 100% outdated. They are only used for training and have no combat effectiveness.
"The reserve force is also an army, and they have also participated in military exercises. When I came to express condolences, I saw with my own eyes the cannons inside, several of them!"
Zhou Yuan is not very disappointed. For her, if everyone in the Survival Alliance can have a gun and enough bullets, she will be happy. If she can have two more cannons, it will be a fairy life.
"It's an anti-aircraft gun, right? That's right, an anti-aircraft gun is also a cannon...I understand, they just used anti-aircraft guns to deal with the zombie attack, and those holes in the iron gate were made by armor-piercing projectiles!" Will there be cannons in the reserve anti-aircraft artillery division? It is necessary.
Yes! But it's not an ordinary cannon, it should be an anti-aircraft gun.
Hong Tao has seen and fired this thing in Ukraine, ranging from small caliber to large caliber. It certainly cannot be used as a howitzer. It is a cannon with a very straight trajectory. It is good for hitting armored targets. Long-distance bombing is basically useless.
Maybe. Used to deal with zombies... Not to mention, it's really useful!
Relying on the rank of deputy platoon leader and mid-level non-commissioned officer of the regular army, Yu Zhen easily gained the trust of Gao Yuzhu and his companions and successfully entered the station. It took more than twenty minutes to fully understand the current situation of the three reserve soldiers in the station.
After understanding the situation at home and abroad, it was a matter of course for me to join the rescue team.
In fact, these soldiers no longer want to stay here, but they really can't get out. The villages and towns at the foot of the mountain are full of zombies. All mobile phones and wired telephones are disconnected, and no one can be contacted.
Use a radio? Sorry, the officers and most of the soldiers in the station mutated in the middle of the night, chasing the survivors down the mountain desperately. The few who knew how to use the radio were all gone.
A few of them grabbed three bicycles and easily got rid of the zombies. They wanted to go to the town down the mountain to call for help. As you can imagine, they were chased by zombies in the town again. After paying a
After paying the human price, he could only run back to the mountain.
There were zombies inside the station, and there were also zombies at the foot of the mountain. The remaining five people thought about it and stayed on the mountainside for a full day and a half before they roughly thought about some issues. For example, zombies and the apocalypse, they thought it would be better to go back to the station to take a look.
That's fine. After all, there are weapons and food there, and it's safer than fleeing through villages and towns.
Fortunately, most of the zombies in the camp had left the camp because they were chasing the survivors. The five of them climbed over the wall from the side and got rid of the few remaining zombies without much effort. After closing the door, they were basically safe.
But no one knew how to use the radio, and even the generator was broken. He could only live on food from a temporary warehouse and spring water from the mountain behind, hoping for someone to rescue him every day.
They couldn't wait, and finally some people couldn't wait any longer. Reserve soldiers have no military ranks, and none of the five survivors had positions. No one could obey the crowd and get the command. One of them drove out and rushed out.
, I want to go home and have a look first, and then go to the local armed forces department.
No one knows whether he returned home or whether he found the local department. Anyway, he never came back after being beaten out. However, his actions produced a good result. All the zombies on the mountain road were led down the mountainside and around the station.
It becomes very quiet and relatively safer.
Inspired by this, the people at the station took turns driving out and gradually led the zombies near the town at the foot of the mountain. Then they boldly went to the town and looked at the villages in the ravine. In addition to rescuing a local villager,
Nothing to gain, zombies everywhere.
"Is that truck outside also one of your people?" Hong Tao did not dare to enter the station rashly, and asked Yu Zhen to bring the three soldiers out. He planned to ask about the situation first, and then analyze it logically and confirm that there was no problem before going in.
"He is a villager in the west village. We rescued him and he can play with the generator. The generator broke down the day before yesterday. This morning he planned to go back to the village to find accessories, but he was surrounded by zombies not far away. Those monsters were like
It suddenly emerged from the ground and blocked the truck from moving. It was terrible!"
Gao Yuzhu is more outgoing, the oldest, and the most courageous. He has always been the one doing the external negotiations. The other two younger soldiers are still immersed in being besieged by zombies, and they have not been able to get over the emotions of life and death. They are very
Dull.
"Come, come with me...do you recognize it?" Hong Tao suddenly remembered that the living corpse in the car was also wearing a military uniform, and the style was very similar to Gao Yuzhu's.
"This, this is..." Suddenly seeing the living corpse that was half human and half ghost, Gao Yuzhu was so frightened that he stuttered and did not dare to get closer and take a closer look.
"I found this from its pocket. Do you recognize it?" Hong Tao picked up a plastic bag from the car and pointed to the mobile phone and key chain inside.
"It belongs to Xiao Liu. There is a triangular scar on his forehead, which was left during training..." Gao Yuzhu stopped stuttering now and repeatedly expressed his recognition of these two items, and then thought of the person who was tied into a rice dumpling in the carriage.
Bit.
"We will explain things about it slowly later, let's go inside and have a look!" Hong Tao was basically sure that this living corpse was the Xiao Liu mentioned by Gao Yuzhu, the one who drove the truck home to have a look.
Reserve soldiers.
It seems that he was bitten by a zombie on the way, but for some reason he did not mutate into a zombie, but became like this. However, judging from the situation of it returning to the station with the zombies, it is possible that the living corpses still remain.
part of human memory.
Otherwise, it makes no sense to explain how it knew there were survivors here. The station was six or seven kilometers away from the town, and it was still on a mountain road. The living corpse should not be able to sense the presence of humans from such a long distance.
This garrison is not as ordinary as it looks from the outside. The iron gate and the wall are just a corner of it. The space in the yard is quite large. There are seven or eight barracks connected together on the west side, and there is a two-story building on the north side.
.
Gao Yuzhu introduced that the barracks are their dormitories. Every year, reserve soldiers from many nearby units take turns to come here to train for a period of time. The first floor of the small building is the officers' dormitory, which is relatively fixed. Most of them have been here for several years.
The second floor of the small building is also a dormitory for officers, but they never participate in training, are not instructors, and don't even communicate much with the soldiers who come for training. He can't tell what the background is.
There was another thing he didn't know. There was a wall behind the small building, but it was not made of stone. It was made of reinforced concrete and was in the shape of a trapezoid. The door was also changed from an ordinary steel plate welded to a three-dimensional wall made of cement and steel bars.
The security door is locked with a thick iron chain.
I searched all the rooms on the second floor and couldn't find the key to open the lock. It doesn't matter. The special team brought electric drills and gas welders. If it wasn't to give the three newly joined soldiers some goodwill, they wouldn't look like bandits.
Likewise, Hong Tao would not waste time looking for the key.
"Is this an anti-aircraft gun?" The task of unlocking the lock was handed over to Randy. Hong Tao turned back to the yard and walked to the flat double-barreled cannon. There were two half-meter-high round cannons in the yard.
There is a shaped fort, and the other one has the same cannon, but the barrel is pointed high into the sky.
"This is a 37mm twin anti-aircraft gun, and I am the second gunner! If it weren't for it and dozens of boxes of training bombs, the three of us would have gone to see the King of Hell early in the morning. Chief Hong, although you are not a soldier, please accept us
Thank you, Xiao Wang, Xiao Yang, salute!"
Patting the thick cannon barrel, Gao Yuzhu thought of the fierce battle a few hours ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. At first, he didn't know why the zombies suddenly ran away, but now he understands that it was not the zombies who were scared after being beaten, but
Reinforcements are coming. This is a life-saving grace. In front of me is a leader for a long time in the future, so I can't owe him any courtesy.
"Thanks are due, not only for me but also for them. Everyone risked their lives and no one backed down. But this is not the end, but the beginning! The battle with zombies is long and arduous. I hope you can carry forward today's fight to the death in the future.
With an unyielding spirit, we will contribute to saving more compatriots!”
Hong Tao didn't stop him. He accepted the salute of the three reserve soldiers with a smile. Then he changed the topic and used the fort as a podium to do his job as an instructor. Zhou Yuan was right, civilians may not be too fond of this, but
Chapter completed!
