Chapter 65 Picking up the ocean
Zhangmutou Town, Humen, Houjie and Chang'an are collectively known as the "Four Strong Towns of Dguan". Zhangmutou Town is located in the southeast of Dongguan City, with a total area of 118.8 square kilometers and a population of about 300,000 people, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, and is located in the center of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huiz one-hour living circle. Since the reform and opening up, it has attracted enterprises from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other countries to develop industry, real estate and service industries, urban construction is changing with each passing day, business is booming, and nearly 150,000 Hong Kong people have been attracted to buy houses and live in peace with its beautiful living and entrepreneurial environment, which is known as "Little Hong Kong". The Hakka unicorn dance art has a long history of nearly 500 years, and in 2001, Zhangmutou Town was named the "Hometown of Qilin Art" by Guangdong Province.
The safe area of Zhangmutou is located in the heart of the town, on a peninsula formed by the confluence of the Shima River and a small river. The Shima River originates from the Brain Shell Mountain of Longhua Town, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, flows northward through Longhua Town and Guanlan Town, enters Tangxia Town and Zhangmutou Town of Dongguan City, and flows into the Dongjiang River in Qishi Town. It is 88 kilometers long and has a basin area of 1,249 square kilometers. Because there is a large stone shaped like a horse in the river near Zhangmutou, it got this name. The other is a small river that flows from the Lezhu Drainage Reservoir to the west, and the two rivers meet to form a peninsula of several square kilometers, on which the safety zone is located. A six-meter-high separation wall has been erected along Guanzhang Road and Shixin Road, and the only way to enter and exit the safety zone is through the bridges over the two rivers, and the safety factor should be very high, but I don't know why it was broken by mutants.
The convoy slowly entered the safety zone through the Shima River Bridge, and the machine gunners in the lead car cheered up and turned their guns to monitor the surroundings vigilantly. I saw bullet scars everywhere on the bridge deck and railings, and bullet casings were sprinkled on the ground. There are two tall bridgeheads built on the bridgehead on the opposite bank, and the two steel gates have been knocked to the ground, and the road behind the doors can be vaguely seen littered with all kinds of garbage. The convoy walked through the gate, behind which was a parking lot with several container trucks and pickup trucks, covered in dust. The parking lot is surrounded by several commercial and residential buildings with more than 10 floors, the lower podium doors and windows are locked, the upper residential buildings do not show a trace of human activity, and there are several sandbag barricades on the road between the residential buildings. The convoy stopped in the open space, Li Shanglong got out of the car, took a telescope to check the surrounding environment, the entire safety zone was quiet, and no sound could be heard.
"See, look there!" Li Weizhi suddenly pointed to the right and shouted, Li Shanglong looked in the direction of his finger, and a long iron pipe stretched out from the back of a barricade, staring at the group of people in front of him like a fierce beast. It was artillery, and Chief of Staff Li immediately recognized the "beast", and the data team showed him pictures of this thing more than once. Type 66 152 mm cannon howitzer, the gun is based on the former Soviet Union D-20 type 152 mm cannon howitzer imitation, produced in 1966, a large number of equipment troops, is currently the main cannon howitzer of our army. The gun uses the mount of the Type 60 122 mm cannon, but the single barrel barrel is replaced with a 152 mm caliber barrel, and the gun has more than 60% of the parts and components common to the Type 59-1 130 mm cannon. Chief of Staff Li has listened to these materials a lot, and he can already memorize them.
Li Wei ran to the barricade in three steps and two steps, jumped in front of him, jumped in lightly, and then checked back and forth around the 152mm howitzer. Li Shanglong also ran over quickly, saw Li Weizhi touching here, knocking there, shaking the crank of the high and low machine a few times, and then looked into the optical sight, and asked with a smile: "Can you detect artillery?" Is there anything wrong with that? ”
Li pretended to "check" it, and then nodded, "It should be in good condition, pull it back and let the British taste the power of the '152 Divine Cult'." He turned to a few soldiers next to him and said, "Look around, the shells should be nearby." ”
Taking advantage of the time to find the shells, Li Weizhi commanded the soldiers to use manpower to pull the cannon out from behind the barricade, although the cannon was full of dust, but it looked that the cannon was still well maintained, there was no rust on the barrel, and the high and low machines were also very flexible. Li found water and a rag for it, and scrubbed the cannon with his own hands to make it look brand new. The soldiers who had gone in search of shells soon reaped the rewards, and found dozens of boxes of shells piled up in a façade not far from the barricades. "Quick! Fast! It's all loaded into the car! Li Shanglong urged. With this big killing weapon, the British and French forces are all floating clouds.
A Red Rock Steyr slowly reversed to the door, and the soldiers carefully loaded boxes of shells onto the car, after all, it was explosives, and no one wanted to be a victim of it. The good start made everyone very excited, and it was worth the trip with this cannon alone. But people's desires are endless, when they don't have it, they want to have more, so without waiting for Li Shanglong's order, Li Weizhi took his platoon to search and advance to the depths of the security zone.
The main body of the security zone is a residential area, dotted with commercial and residential buildings. There were traces of battle everywhere, and there was a large hole in one wall one meter square, and the exposed red bricks under the cement at the entrance of the hole were blackened, apparently the result of a bazooka; On the other side of the tiled wall, a hornet's nest was made by bullets, and shiny bullets were embedded in the bullet holes, telling the latecomers about the fierceness of the battle at that time. Although they knew that mutants could not be seen during the day, everyone was vigilant.
At the end of the road is a small garden-like square, and in the center of the square is a circular fortification made of sandbags. When you get closer, you can see that the fortifications are in shambles, and the ground is covered with bullet casings, so that people have nowhere to put their feet; Steel helmets, tattered uniforms, torn guns, and ammunition boxes were thrown indiscriminately on the ground, and blood stains that had turned black everywhere were everywhere; In the center of the fortifications were two military tents, which were empty and only a few folding tables and chairs remained. Looking at this was obviously the last lost position, everyone couldn't help but feel sad for the survivors who had already been killed.
"Li Weizhi, how is your situation there?" At this time, Li Shanglong's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"We are now in the central square of the security zone, and nothing special has been found." Li Weizhi got out of the tent and patted the dust off his body. "It's just that it's been picked up clean enough that there's nothing left for us except bullet casings."
"Then let's look around! Didn't you say that there were tanks? If you find us, you'll be bullish. Li Shanglong said without giving up, now a cannon can no longer satisfy him. Let's stay safe! ”
"Okay." Li Weizhi agreed, and then raised the question in his heart. "Counselor, the People's Liberation Army of Humen said that a lot of people died here, but we haven't even seen a single corpse after coming in for so long, this is a bit wrong!"
"Maybe it was buried by other survivors." Li Shanglong was also hairy in his heart, so he helped himself find a reason. In fact, he didn't think that the other survivors had time to collect the corpses, which should have either become mutants or been digested by mutants. "Anyway, everyone should be careful."
There is no need for Li Shanglong's orders, everyone is chilled by the strange situation in this original security zone, of course, they are doubly careful. Li Weizhi divided his subordinates into three squads according to the squad, and drew two people from each squad to form a fourth squad, led by himself, and then divided his troops to advance along the road that radiated from the small square to the surrounding areas.
There was silence all around, and only the slow footsteps of everyone could be heard. The afternoon sun was hot and dry, but the sun was the survivor's best friend, keeping the ferocious mutants in dark corners, so everyone wanted the sun to be more intense, and no one complained about the heat. Because they were unfamiliar with their surroundings, the survivors did not enter the surrounding residential buildings, but only walked through the streets and alleys between the buildings. There are a few barricades on the road, but that's not everyone's goal. A Lamborghini Batmobile with a Hong Kong license plate was thrown on the side of the street with its door wide open, and no one looked at it.
Huangtian paid off, and soon all the teams had harvested one after another. The two squads found one and two 152 mm howitzers, as well as dozens of boxes of shells, respectively, at the other exit of the security zone; Another team found a warehouse of military supplies, which was full of tents, uniforms, steel helmets, and other military supplies. However, this warehouse has been patronized, and things have been turned over everywhere, and it is estimated that the rest are those who think the people in front of them are useless.
The biggest gain was the team led by Li Weizhi, who found two domestically produced Type 59 tanks. The two tanks parked side by side in the open space between the buildings, the rugged body, the half-egg-shaped turret, and the high barrel all made the survivors feel a violent beauty. Some people have already remembered the scenes of the British and French forces, the Manmeng Eight Banners, the Rakshasa ghosts, and the dwarfs trembling in front of the torrent of steel.
A soldier jumped on the car and tried to open the roof of the turret, but it took a lot of effort for the iron guy to move, and he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry. After giving up the roof, he went to attack the driver's door, but he was still not allowed to enter. Seeing that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Li Weizhi reminded: "Nangong, look at the door below." ”
The warrior named Nangong quickly got under the car, and then he was heard cheering, and after a while, the top of the turret opened with a click. Li Weizhi jumped on the body, looked inside, and a peculiar smell came to his face, almost soothing him, and he didn't know how the benevolent brother in the car could stand it? After the smell in the car was blown away, Li Weizhi got in. Nangong, who came first, was sitting in the driver's seat studying various instruments.
"Nangong, have you ever driven this thing?" Li Weizhi patted him on the shoulder and asked.
"Of course it was," replied Nangong Zilong, a nineteen-year-old college survivor who had just entered college. "I drove in Ding Yamaguchi, 74% of the winning rate, 51% of the survival, and the best result in a single game was 11 heads."
Li Weizhi interrupted his teasing with a wave of his hand, "Do you have the car keys?" ”
"Huh?!" Do you need a car key for a tank? Former World of Tanks players are confused. He searched back and forth on the dashboard several times, but did not find the keyhole, and looked back at Li Weizhi suspiciously, but found the smile hidden in the corner of the other party's mouth to know that he had been deceived.
There is a red button in the lower right corner of the dashboard with the word ignition written on the nameplate on it. He tentatively pressed the button when he heard a bang behind him, like the sound of a firecracker exploding, and then heard the tank's engine rumble. The sudden movement startled Li Weizhi, and he immediately shouted at Nangong Zilong; "Stop!"
Nangong Zilong was also in a hurry, and was urged by Li Weiyi, inadvertently pressed the operating lever, and the tank body was stunned, and then roared forward. The soldiers who were surrounding them also scattered, and the people standing on the car jumped down, and those who stood in front of the car avoided both sides, and everyone watched as the steel beast roared and moved forward at the speed of a snail.
The tank crossed the road, without hesitation, towards the building across the road, and rushed into a façade on the ground floor in slow motion under the stunned onlookers. Nangong Zilong finally stepped on the brakes in a panic, and the tank finally stopped after most of his body got into the house. Li Weizhi and the new tanker Nangong climbed out of the tank in disgrace, and the furious Li Weizhi chased after the person who wanted to repair the troublemaker, and finally gave up under everyone's persuasion, Nangong only left two shoe prints on his buttocks.
This episode did not affect everyone's interest in picking up foreign falls, and Li Shanglong came to check it out himself after hearing about the situation of the tank. Both tanks were in good condition, Li Shanglong looked around the tank, and asked Li Weizhi suspiciously: "Why do I think this tank is missing something?" The latter took a closer look and scolded: "! The anti-aircraft machine guns were all dismantled! Jumping on the car and looking inside, "my uncle, even the side-by-side machine gun was removed." "But who told them to come last! Useful things have been moved away, and they can only get some "leftovers". It's a pity that none of the people who came this time could drive tracked vehicles, and those who could drive were still operating construction machinery in the new time and space. Li Shanglong asked someone to find a tarpaulin to cover the tank, and prepared to bring people to drive the tank back tomorrow.
