Chapter 809 Minggang Airport
But no matter how you pretend, there is one thing that cannot be faked, and that is the speed of reaction. Everyone, including the soldiers and the coachmen, are roughly divided into three groups. The first group is the No Hesitation Faction represented by the soldiers and Hong Tao's group.
After they heard the gunfire, they reacted almost instinctively. They didn't even look for where the gunfire came from. Their first action was to find a bunker, and then they looked for guns and alerted people around them.
The second group of people was relatively large, such as Wang Gang and some coachmen. They had an obvious daze after hearing the gunshots, but it was short-lived and they could react immediately, and then went to find guns first and then bunkers.
The third group was the largest, including most of the coachmen. After hearing the gunshots, these people had various reactions. Some stretched their necks and looked around, some covered their heads and crawled into the carriage, and some ran down the road.
Some people could remember to get a gun, but some people simply forgot about the gun. It was so noisy and lively.
"Don't panic, don't panic, it's our people! Stop the carriage and don't let the horse startle!"
Before all these headless flies could find a suitable cover to hide, the squad leader put down his binoculars and stood up from the back of the carriage, clasped his hands to his mouth and shouted in circles.
At this time, there was a bit of chaos on the road, not only people but also horses. Many horses may not have received similar training, and the gunshots were not actually too loud, but the panic of the people seriously affected them, so people shouted that the horses were neighing.
Got the film.
"Brother Mouse, did you see it?" Benzhu's hiding place was safer than Hong Tao's. He got under the car and hid between the two wheels. In order to prevent the horses from being frightened and pull the car away, Benzhu also used triangular wooden blocks to secure the wheels.
Damn it.
"In the village about 2,000 meters ahead on the right..." Hong Tao's first action after getting out of the car was to take out his telescope, half-crouched, and search for the general direction of the gunshot through the gap between the carriage and the horse's butt.
This location is very particular and is an excellent place to avoid enemy snipers. Why? Because the horse's tail will keep swinging back and forth, which seriously interferes with the accuracy of long-distance snooping, making it difficult to judge whether there is anyone moving.
Similar to the position chosen by Hong Tao, Zhang Ke also hid his body behind the front wheel, with his head exposed behind the horse's buttocks, holding a telescope and looking around blindly. But there was one thing he couldn't compare to Hong Tao, his eyes! He has been shortsighted since he was a child.
As the eyes grew older, the intensity did not decrease but increased. I looked at them for a long time and saw nothing.
"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff, I have contacted... it is a company of the 8th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade stationed at the airport. They are clearing out the zombies in the nearby villages!" But he is an official and has people under his command. No,
In less than two minutes, the air service soldier carrying the radio on his back solved the problem.
In less than fifteen minutes, three horses galloped from the south, passed dozens of carriages in front, and stopped in front of the black carriage of the staff. An officer jumped off the horse and gave a military salute to Zhang Ke, who had already changed into military uniform.
"Captain Zhang, are there any zombies near the airport that haven't been cleared yet?" Zhang Ke doesn't smile all the time. He can also keep a straight face and pretend to be dignified in the workplace and at work. Now he is very serious, with his hands behind his back and his imposing manner.
.
"...In the past six months or so, we have mainly focused on cleaning up Minggang Town, southwest of the airport. There are more than 100,000 people there, as well as the Xinyang Iron and Steel Plant and many supporting factories. In addition, due to the need for maintenance work on the Huaihe River Bridge, our military strength is somewhat insufficient.
!”
Company Commander Zhang is older than Zhang Ke, and looks to be about 40 years old. He speaks in a very orderly manner, neither humble nor overbearing, and there is no flattery or fearful expression on his face.
"Oh...then your cleanup operation today is just for us...has this area been cleaned up?" But to Zhang Ke's ears, most of these words were nonsense and lies.
The staff department has weekly work reports on various bases, and it just so happens that he, the deputy chief of staff, is very concerned about this kind of information. He did his homework for more than half a month before coming here. I can't say that he has mastered all the details and can do it.
Understand the progress of many specific tasks, such as cleaning up zombies.
According to the report, those stationed at Minggang Airport are the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade, plus an Air Force Engineer Regiment. It has been half a year since the two regiments arrived here, and they have been cleaning up one after another, and more will be added during the Spring Festival.
After replenishing ammunition once, not to mention 100,000 zombies, the next 100,000 should be exhausted. On average, each person will not get one zombie per day.
But he didn't immediately launch an inquiry. Don't criticize other people's work easily before fully understanding the situation. This is what he has been taught since childhood. It's not that he is afraid of being embarrassed if he says something wrong, but it is easy to accuse others unjustly. You are happy to say that, shoot
If you leave behind, the officers stationed here may have to take responsibility.
In addition, after having been in the alliance government for so many years, he knows how to deal with things by seeing things clearly but not telling them clearly. He is not a real commander. He has a high rank and is useless. He just interferes in other people's work at will, especially by pointing fingers.
It not only causes trouble but also hatred.
Yes, let alone the company commander, even if the commander of the third brigade comes, he must be polite when he sees him. But being polite on the surface and scolding in the heart will not do any good for future work. In the final analysis, he comes to inspect the frontline work.
We still have to rely on the cooperation of local military officers to make it go smoothly.
"Report to the Chief of Staff, we were transferred from Xuchang ten days ago, and we are not very clear about the specific arrangements!" Company Commander Zhang's answer was still concise and to the point, without being sloppy at all, which meant that he said nothing.
"Do you know where the transport team is stationed?" As expected, Zhang Ke was secretly glad that he had not rashly criticized him just now. They are not the garrison here at all, but a force cooperating with the expedition. It is reasonable and reasonable to ask three questions.
.
"Report to the Chief of Staff, I have sent someone to notify the regimental commander. He is on his way and should arrive soon..." Company Commander Zhang still said nothing. He was really strict.
"Nacheng, go ahead and do your work. We'll wait here. Tell everyone to pay attention to safety, do a good job in investigation, and don't rush in just for the sake of speed!" Seeing this, Zhang Ke didn't want to ask anymore, and gave a few gentle instructions.
sentence, and ended the conversation with a casual salute.
The alliance's standing army has 5 brigades with a total of 13 regiments. Chang'an and Changchun each station a brigade, but they are not full, with only 2 regiments. There is a full brigade stationed in Beijing and Jinmen Port, and the remaining two brigades are basically in the south.
There are also a small amount distributed along roads, railways and in key factories, power plants, reservoirs and other places.
Wang Ying'an, the commander of the third brigade, is an old acquaintance who has joined the team since his days in the rescue team. This brigade commander, who was a chef, is very brave in battles, and he also pays close attention to training. However, his personal reputation is very average, and he is more greedy for pleasure.
In particular, he is very close to Zhang Tao, the deputy minister in charge of the army at the Ministry of Armed Forces, and Zhang Tao unequivocally supports the reformists, so he doesn't go around much with them.
Favors will become indifferent if they are not maintained for a long time, and they will become enemies if they have different views. Now when two people meet, they can't look at each other in a cross-faced manner, and they have nothing to talk about. They can just nod and smile.
"Chief of Staff, this is the Type 2000 Infantry Fighting Vehicle of the Air Force..." Captain Zhang had just walked for less than 20 minutes when there was another movement on the south side of the highway. But this time it was not a cavalry, but two armored vehicles. Soldiers from the Air Service Regiment stood
He held up a telescope on the carriage and looked at it. He immediately gave the specific model and distinguished between friend and foe.
"Let's go to the front to greet them..." Zhang Ke looked at the wide-eyed rickshaw drivers in front and on the left and right, and decided to leave the convoy first. Some things are better not to be said in front of the people.
"Chief of Staff, Yang Ming, Commander of the 8th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade, Zhao Baoyi, the 1st Battalion Commander, and Jiang Ping, the 2nd Battalion Commander, are reporting to you!" Two infantry fighting vehicles drove closer, and Zhang Ke's carriage also happened to arrive at the team.
At the front, three officers walked out of the first infantry fighting vehicle and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Oh, Commander Yang, the last time we met was at Peking University Camp. It's been nearly two years since we last met and you still haven't gained weight. How are you doing?"
Facing the three officers who were all older than him, Zhang Ke showed no fear. He had long been accustomed to working with various uncles and uncles, and he was very comfortable in dealing with them. Those he knew were lala, and those he didn't knew were chatting with them.
There are only a few superiors in total, and you can always find someone that both parties are familiar with.
