Chapter 26: The Future

"The capture of SQ Tun is just the first step, and the repaired vehicles also need a lot of fuel, according to intelligence, there is a large gas station two kilometers from SQ Tun to R County, where the fuel plus several small gas stations along the way, as well as 6 gas stations to the north of SJ County can be taken together! The number of zombies in these places is very small, and the maximum scale will not exceed 100, so you can let those recruits use training to fight and go directly into battle! Anyway, we don't have to worry about soldiers now! Those who don't want to fight are not worthy of a woman at all! The next third step is to control the three bridges, the first is the Niuba Bridge leading to R County, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, only a small number of people can be occupied, and fortifications can be built immediately after seizing, so that those wandering zombies can easily break through and threaten the safety of the population of SQ Tun! Zeng Jianguo, your task is very heavy! The second bridge is the Baoshan Bridge leading to SJ County, where the terrain is very suitable for building a fortress, you can refer to the architectural style of the earth fort for simple construction, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Daddy Qin to give you advice. The third bridge is the packhorse bridge that leads to 11 towns and 27 natural villages in the mountains! A lot of the situation in the mountains is unstable, and there are still a large number of surviving people, so the defense here is for the purpose of establishing a receiving population, you must build enough houses, if possible, you try to build this place as a second forward base, remember, although there are not many zombies in the mountains, you can't take it lightly! All three bridges can be planted with explosives! Do you understand? Seeing that several of his military commanders were looking at him with high spirits, Zhang Jiaming's eyes were blazing, so that his subordinates also responded to their leaders with enthusiasm.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Jiaming motioned to the commander of the fourth company of the recruits, this person is Fred, the only foreign officer with military power, he does not have too much military experience, and he has only received basic training in the national defense corps, but for the sake of him and Yakov learning some military technology, he can also be regarded as a half-hung officer, so Zhang Jiaming arranged this guy to be a company commander in the recruit company.

"You immediately assemble the troops, go to the dock area to standby, first transfer half of the logistics personnel, and wait for the first and second companies to take the SQ tun, and then transfer the logistics personnel back to them! Execute the command! ”

"Yes, Great Chief, may I ask where we are going? You know, I'm all new recruits, they haven't been on the battlefield, and their sense of battle hasn't been established yet! Fred was about to turn to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and turned back to ask.

"Go grab the food!" Zhang Jiaming replied viciously, which made the eyes of the others widen, but Fred reacted quickly, and immediately asked, "Where to grab it." ”

"Grand Pier!" Another sentence was thrown, so that everyone's mouths were open enough to swallow three eggs. Those in the know have understood that the wharf where Zhang Jiaming originally saved the priest and his party was not the richest area in the local area, and the grain and other scattered things that could be used as food were only enough for the people to eat for half a year, and now after the two peak seasons of rain, coupled with the humidity of the air and other reasons, it is estimated that about 40% of the grain in that place is inedible.

The big wharf is different, where is the important area for the distribution of ships on and off the water network, where many large warehouses are concentrated, conservative estimates, can be collected in that lot enough current, no, at least 3 times the population now eats a year's food, if you successfully take a few dock areas, use the water network as an isolation belt, you can establish an outpost in the urban area, this is a powerful nail, can penetrate deeply into the interior of the zombie siege, but the risk is also very large, if the zombie group produces zombies above the R2 level, Then the outpost will become very dangerous.

Everyone who weighed the pros and cons turned their attention to the commander of the fourth company, this lucky guy got a hot potato for the first time!

Meritorious service is the most desired thing for soldiers, but the hard bones that are difficult to gnaw are also frowned upon by every soldier, but unfortunately the person concerned does not know the local situation at all, the foreign officer still gave a military salute and went out to carry out the military order.

"Godgrandson, you, you, you're going to be a big guy and ready to fight hard!" Daddy also raised his throw, and hurriedly panicked.

"Don't worry, I'm talking faster, look here." Everyone looked at the places that Zhang Jiaming was pointing to.

"Originally, I have studied carefully, we can take advantage of the carrying advantages of barges, with the convenience of the water network, and seize these docks can bring us a lot of materials! According to the most conservative estimate, the total number of zombies in these places is only about 20,000, and we can use the narrow terrain to annihilate them one by one! Especially near this pier on the small island, I have been there several times, and the zombie hordes there have almost been wiped out by me, and where did the first food I hoard on the small island come from. Plus, I have even bigger ambitions! Zhang Jiaming stopped talking, first let everyone slowly digest the previous information, and when everyone stared at him like a curious baby again, he threw out the sentence unhurriedly: "Seize the grain depot in R County!" "Again, all the participants stood up excitedly, what a bold and reckless decision it was, if it was said before that seizing the whole city of R County is an established general goal, then seizing the grain depot of R County is almost an impossible task, at least with the current military strength is impossible, the grain depot of R County brings together 16 townships in the county, 8 large market towns, and 53 natural villages, which is enough for 700,000 people in the county to eat three years of grain reserves!

There is a complete air-drying equipment to store the grain, and even if no one is unattended, the grain can be maintained normally for more than a year and a half!

However, the grain depot is located in a rocky ridge area downstream of R County, and there will not be many zombies, but it will take 40 minutes to approach from the nearest waterway landing point by land, and there will be 4 natural villages and a large market town along the way, where there are definitely not a few zombies, and it is estimated that there will be more than 40,000 or so!

"This can only be regarded as a general direction, now, we have enough manpower, the only shortage is food, followed by the oil for shipping, as long as these two things are done well, we can lay a better foundation." After the final concluding speech, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and a leader who could point out the way forward for everyone was better than catching blind all the way, at least, he knew what he should do!

"Break the meeting, go out and make preparations, you have three days, remember, we must complete the set goals before the New Year, and the blind dates in the mountains are counting on us." The others all saluted solemnly, and then left one after another, each busy with his own business.

When the people were finished, Zhang Jiaming turned around and looked at Niu Keshen.

"Saw it all?" Zhang Jiaming lit a cigarette for himself,

"Yes, Great Chief, you are indeed not easy! It's not easy! Niu Keshen was not a stupid person, so he nodded hurriedly and agreed.

"I lack military management talents on my side, are you willing to do it with me?" Zhang Jiaming went straight in, he didn't want to engage in any of the old routines of Corporal Lixian, so he directly recruited the other party nakedly.

"This, I just came, big leader, you trust me so much, but I have a shallow foundation, I think that I am not convinced, I am afraid that everyone is not convinced, besides, a group of my brothers have followed me to work hard until now, if I come over here, leave a big group of brothers, how to lead troops in the future, how to make everyone trust me!" Niu Keshen is not a mediocre talent, of course he knows what Zhang Jiaming means, but he is not in a hurry to refuse, he only feels that his subordinates have not been formally arranged, and he can't bear to leave a group of old brothers to be officials alone, after all, they all followed him to life and death because they believed in themselves, and they also came through hardships together!

"I know, when those people recover, I will let you command them, but I warn you, don't set up a small hill under my nose and do any kind of small collective! You, including yourself, are all my Zhang's soldiers! Got it? Zhang Jiaming knew that it was necessary to knock on the heads of these soldiers with troops.

"Big leader, look at what you said, I, Niu Keshen, am a person who knows what is good, you see, as long as you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west! As long as you tell me to kill, I will never set fire! ”

"Okay, okay, you wait and go to the battalion commander Qin Gengsheng to report immediately, just say that I asked you to go, let him arrange your old brother's military camp, in addition, convey my order, transfer another 60 people from the musket company to you, and form the fifth marksman company!" The guns will be distributed to you later, so for the time being, you will use the original batch first! Go ahead! Niu Keshen was so happy that his bones were a few pounds lighter, and he trotted all the way to report the good news to the old brothers.

"Wait, come back, have you won any shooting awards before?" Zhang Jiaming squinted his eyes and stared at the cow, this old boy was not ambiguous, patted his chest and said: "I have been a compulsory soldier for three years, I don't have any great skills, I can play with guns!" Within 300 meters, the sparrow can't run! ”

"I really didn't see it, go ahead, do a good job!" is worthy of being born as a regular soldier, and there is a military flavor in every gesture, and even the military salute is more decent than that of the militia leaders.

If you accept a gun, you are not afraid that you will not be able to bring a group of shooters, although the current armament is really miserable, this is not good, and there is no long-range suppression firepower, isn't it, it's better than nothing!

Spit out the cigarette butt, Zhang Jiaming began to frown and continue to study the map of R County, Zhuzi Village is far away from the mainland, it is completely unsuitable for use as a base, it can only be used as a temporary station and a strategic base for buffering, and there is too little arable land here, which is not conducive to long-term development, seizing SQ Tun and consolidating it is the best choice at present.

Resources, population, and food can all be hoarded here, and the natural water network of SQ Tun is a barrier that cannot be easily broken through, even if there are millions of zombies, Zhang Jiaming has the information to use the complex terrain advantage to completely annihilate it.

After obtaining the machine tools of the rolling mill, plus the coal mines, you can build an army of steel yourself, and if possible, when you gather enough people, you can form a regiment of at least five thousand people, all armed with long bayonets!

Equipped with a large sturdy stainless steel shield, imagine a dense phalanx of spears, almost a reproduction of the Spanish phalanx or the Macedonian Holy Legion!

As long as it is used properly, with the help of various favorable terrain in the south, and the soldiers take turns to fight, they can engage zombies on a large scale, even if they only destroy 3,000 to 6,000 zombies a day, it will take less than a month to recover Hedong.

At that time, the arsenal and grain depot will be included in their own hands, and their military strength will be doubled!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiaming's breathing became rapid, and the speed of thinking also accelerated a little.

You can also send your own Black Dog Guard to Matoufeng in Hexi now, seize the radio transceiver station there, and restore local communications, you have a lot of people who know how to operate these things, there are many old or new radio sets in the local area alone, you only need to repair it slightly, you can get in touch with the outside world, this old-fashioned way of drum communication is no longer useful, but this has to wait until you get food and other supplies.

If you plan too far ahead, it becomes outrageous, population, food, these two problems are a pair of headache twin brothers!
