Regarding Yuan Tianjiang's matter, because he ran away, he could only put it aside, Chen Yuan then asked Zhang Zeshan: "By the way, what about those survivors of Yuan Cheng?" ”

Zhang Zeshan replied: "It has all been controlled, there are 764 people in total, and women and children account for the vast majority. Nearly 200 of them had just fled from here. I asked Jiao Yongyan to stay with a squad and 100 reservists in Yuancheng tonight, responsible for guarding these people. I'll come back to you first to make sure, what are you going to do with these people? ”

Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Bring them all over tomorrow, most of them are just following the orders of Yuan Tianjiang and the others." They can't be blamed for this. But tomorrow, when these people are brought over, they will all be taken into custody first. Those who have no bad deeds after review can be released and let them join our settlement. I've heard that many of them used to be hunters, and it just so happens that we need to set up hunting ground resource points here, and they can use them. After the review, those who behave badly during the last days will be detained and forced to re-education through labor. When there is time, a court will be organized for a trial. Those who should continue to be re-educated through labor will continue to be re-educated through labor, and those who are sentenced to slavery will be slaves. I have a feeling that a group of slaves from our colony will be born from these people! ”

Chen Yuan was not opposed to slavery, which was a supplement to free labor in the current situation of backward productive forces. As long as it is not extended, and slavery is confined to criminals who do not engage in sabotage without production, there is nothing wrong with slavery.

"And what if someone doesn't want to join our colony?"

"There's nothing unwilling, it's not a multiple-choice question. I can't let the people who attacked us go on with their lives without paying any price, even if they are forced to say that they have to be made to work for us. Those who do not want to join the settlement will continue to be detained and forced to work. In short, not a single population can be left to Yuan Tianjiang's group, what kind of Yuan Cheng, when you left, it was burned directly. ”

Zhang Zeshan nodded and left.

The next day, some supplies began to be loaded into trucks and ready to be transported.

The survivors were also transferred to the arsenal and imprisoned. And on the same day the men began their labor under the supervision of a squad of soldiers. As a new resource point, Chen Yuan plans to vacate one or two warehouses as residential areas and build houses in them. So it just takes a lot of labor to do logging and building houses.

The hunting work is also underway, and Chen Yuan is also preparing to bring a few roe deer or wild boars to open meat for everyone when he goes back the next day.

Sure enough, in the convoy back to the Iron Citadel the next day, there were 5 more roe deer, 2 wild boars, 8 hares and 3 wild deer. Compared to the settlement of thousands of people, although this meat is a little less, but each person can also get at least two small pieces of meat, which is already good in this kind of apocalyptic world where materials are scarce. And it is believed that as soon as this hunting ground is officially opened, there will be a steady supply of more game meat to the Iron Castle in the future.

At the same time, the convoy also had the first batch of guns and ammunition transported back. Including 2,000 81-bar, 1,000 Type 56 assault rifles, 1,000 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, 200 Type 56 light machine guns, 50 Type 56 heavy machine guns. 2,000,000 rounds of ammunition. 20,000 grenades with wooden handles.

In terms of artillery, only 80 of the 200 mortars were brought back, all 59 serviceable shoulder launchers were taken away, and 50 of the 112 Type 54 122mm howitzers were taken away. When they returned, each of the 39 vehicles had a cannon in the back, and two trucks were freed up to transport the other 11 guns. As for the 15 usable anti-aircraft guns, 11 were taken away.

Of the 27 tanks that could be driven, 6 of them were considered to be seriously aged and unsuitable for use on the road for the time being, and needed to be left for further repairs, while the remaining 21 were all returned to the Iron Fort with the convoy. So when I went back, the convoy was much bigger than when I came.

Two days later, they returned to the village of Hatu without incident. Liu Jinlong, who stayed in the Iron Castle, had already received the news and was ready to welcome them. This time, there were so many vehicles and supplies that they couldn't stop in Hatu Village, and they also opened a new parking lot next to Hatu Village.

As a result, all the vehicles that have returned from the arsenal are now parked in the new parking lot. Looking at the mighty tanks, the hideous artillery and the boxes of guns and ammunition that had just been unloaded from the car, even people like Liu Jinlong, who had seen a big scene, couldn't help but be shocked by such a scene. After all, when he participated in military exercises in the past, he only looked at other people's tanks, although he was also a soldier, but the discipline of the army was strict, and he had never even touched it. And these tanks, although they are a little older, are really their own troops.

"Hahaha, Lao Liu, what's the matter, isn't it handsome? These will be ours from now on! A tank stopped in front of Liu Jinlong, and Zhang Zeshan stood on the tank and greeted Liu Jinlong with a smile.

"Hehe, of course handsome. But Shuai has nothing to do with you, unless you're willing to leave your first squadron behind and bring a new tank battalion. ”

Chen Yuan plans to use these 21 old tanks plus 2 Type 99 main battle tanks to build a new tank unit, and it is directly a battalion formation. As for the battalion commander, he is currently acting by Liu Jinlong. At this time, Chen Yuan talked to Liu Jinlong last time.

However, during this period, Liu Jinlong and Chen Yuan also privately approached Zhang Zeshan and asked him if he would like to take over the commander of the tank battalion. After all, in the future, the tank battalion will definitely have to go out frequently to carry out combat missions, and if Liu Jinlong, chief of the general staff and deputy commander-in-chief, wants to go out frequently, then who will do the daily combat plan of the unit?

The squadron leader is equivalent to the company commander, and the battalion commander is naturally older than the company. And who doesn't like tanks, Zhang Zeshan himself broke several toy tanks when he was a child. So to be honest, Zhang Zeshan is actually quite tempted. However, after a little consideration, Zhang Zeshan still chose to stay in the infantry.

As a result, he was originally born in the infantry, and now he is reluctant to let these soldiers under him. Second, Zhang Zeshan understands in his heart that it looks cool and powerful to drive a tank now, but the real elite force in the future army must be the infantry. Because driving tanks does not need to be strengthened, and the infantry needs to face the zombies, the resources of the army will definitely gradually be biased towards the infantry in the future. When it is strengthened by 5 times, 10 times, or even higher, the infantry will be so powerful, even Zhang Zeshan himself does not dare to imagine, and it is estimated that it can only be described as a heavenly soldier in the future.
