**************
At Liudigou, Chen Yuan's armored train stopped at the front because the railway ahead was damaged.
Under Chen Yuan's order, the soldiers of the two companies at the front and middle of the train quickly got off the train and began to clean up the zombies on the railway line.
There are not many zombies here, no more than a hundred in total. Because the neighborhood is sparsely populated, even if there is a lot of movement when the train is in trouble, it only attracts a few zombies. The battle lasted less than 10 minutes before it ended. Then the railway technician got off the train to inspect it.
The end result was damage to a section of railroad tracks about 80 meters long. Together with the two carriages lying on the tracks, it will take at least 3 hours to clean up. And considering the lack of light at night, the repair time may be increased by more than 1 hour.
"What then? Rushing to repair at night, cutting and welding, will easily attract zombies around, right? After Wei Chen heard the train conductor's report, he looked at Chen Yuan and asked. He kept rubbing his hands together and said, "And the point is that it's really cold this day." It is estimated that there must be more than 30 degrees, right? โ
In January, the temperature is also very low on the grasslands, especially now that the sun has set. If it's daytime, it's better.
Chen Yuan nodded, and he said, "In this way, don't use the cutting machine, first clean up the things that can be cleaned up in the two train cars that have fallen on the tracks." ??? ? ?ยท The rest will be processed tomorrow during the day. We'll spend the night here tonight. โ
The crowd nodded.
Chen Yuan then arranged: "Lao Du, you go and arrange the personnel on duty at night, Captain Zhang, you will arrange the personnel to clean up the things on the accident train." โ
"Yes!" Du Ruhai and the conductor saluted at the same time.
Then the conductor turned to the logistics staff behind him and said, "Come on, everyone is getting to work!" Bring a shovel with you. Get your work done early and go back to the train early for dinner. โ
"Yes!" Everyone spat hot air in their mouths and responded energetically.
The two cars that had been overturned on the tracks were filled with coal, and they had to be cleared aside with a shovel so that they could move the train the next day.
Although it seems that there is a lot of coal in the two carriages, because the people are all strong men now, and there are many people. Therefore, it did not take much time to clean up, and it took less than half an hour for everyone to clean up the coal in both wagons.
Then everyone started to go back to the train to rest.
Outside the train became instantly quiet. In this season, the grassland is surrounded by white snow. Under the faint moonlight, reflecting the silver-gray light, the train stayed here lonely, looking extremely cold.
Compared with the coldness outside the train, the inside of the train at this time is very lively.
The heating is adequate and the lights are on. Just after labor, the workers covered in soot rushed to wash their hands and faces while making noise. Because the fragrant meal is already waiting for them.
After eating, he can also play cards and play with his mobile phone, and there is no shortage of entertainment activities.
However, in order to protect the spirit of the next day, the train stipulates that at 11 o'clock at night, except for the personnel on duty, everyone else must turn off the lights and rest.
It's just that this night, some people don't want Chen Yuan and them to be calm.
"Ping Pong ......" was about three or four o'clock in the morning, when everyone was still asleep. However, there was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance.
Although the voice was very small, Chen Yuan still sat up alertly and immediately sat up, and dialed the phone in the train duty room, which is the train driver's cab.
"What's going on! Where to shoot? โ
"Fort Chang, it's northwest of the train, about 5 kilometers away. It seems that a gathering place of survivors has been attacked by a horde of zombies. That's where the gunshots came from, and the fire. โ
"Understood, keep watching, pay attention to the surroundings of the train."
"Yes!"
Putting down the phone, Chen Yuan immediately got up and got dressed as quickly as he could, and then walked out of the room. At this time, Wei Chen and Qin Mengyao had already walked out of their room.
"Chen Yuan, what's wrong, how did I hear the sound of gunshots." At this time, Qin Mengyao didn't wear any makeup, but she looked almost the same as when she was wearing makeup, and she was still beautiful and lovely.
"It's not us, it's a survivor colony 5 kilometers away that has been attacked by zombies." Then he said to Wei Chen, who was standing near the development of the electric light: "Wei Chen, turn off the lights, I'll open the curtains to see the situation." โ
"Good!" Wei Chen replied, and easily turned off the lights in the corridor of the carriage, and the carriage instantly went dark.
Chen Yuan immediately opened the curtain and looked out of the car window. Others also rushed to the windows.
Immediately, to the northwest of the train, they found a small hill that was shining.
With the help of binoculars, Chen Yuan and the others were even able to see that under the light of the fire, some people were desperately waving their weapons on the fence, trying to stop the zombies trying to climb up under the city walls.
"It looks like the zombies are fighting fiercely, Castle Chief, should we go and help." Wei Chen, who was also holding a telescope, asked.
"Let's see what happens." Chen Yuan said to Wei Chen: "You immediately send two special combat personnel to ride a motorcycle to reconnoiter the enemy's situation." If we can save us, we will save it. โ
"Understood!" Wei Chen immediately took out his mobile phone and conveyed the order to the special operations team.
At this time, Chen Yuan immediately said to Du Ruhai: "Old Du, let the soldiers gather urgently and prepare for battle." Let the conductor put down the armored personnel carrier first, wait for the news ahead, and if you can save it, you can set off at any time. โ
"Yes!"
Although Chen Yuan called the call to the duty room again and asked, "Can the turret on the train fight 5 kilometers?" โ
The conductor immediately replied, "Captain, you can't hit it." The T-34 tank guns on armored trains could only hit at a distance of up to 2.5 km. โ
But the conductor also continued: "But the fort commander, those 3 Type 07 122 mm self-propelled guns are fine." โ
"That's right!" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, and then he continued to ask: "Then can your artillery operate Type 07 self-propelled guns?" โ
"This ......" The conductor was not sure, and he said, "If you need to, let them try it." โ
"Understood." Chen Yuan said: "Immediately transfer the operators of the three groups of turrets to the three self-propelled guns, no matter what, try to see if they can operate them, if there is artillery support, it may be much better." โ
"Understood!"
At this time, two special combat team members on motorcycles had already set off first, heading for the attacked human settlement at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. '
