"Good news, Captain. Found the internal combustion engine train! ”
Six days have passed since the reconnaissance of Yunxi Town, but the half-corpse team still hasn't been able to enter the core area of the zombies.
However, the half-corpse team that went to the surrounding counties and cities to explore resources sent back good news. The internal combustion engine train they had been looking for had finally been found. After Xu Kai received the report, he immediately got in touch with Chen Yuan excitedly.
Chen Yuan was naturally very happy, and asked excitedly: "Really! That's great! There is hope for the resumption of rail traffic. Where are the trains? Does it work? ”
Huaxia's railway system has been basically electrified as early as five years ago, and the penetration rate of electric locomotives has reached more than 95%. There are very few trains with internal combustion engines.
However, in the current situation, after the national grid is paralyzed, electric locomotives are scrap metal, and only internal combustion engine trains can run unrestricted.
Xu Kai replied, "In Gedaqi." ”
Chen Yuan seemed to have an impression of this place, so he asked, "Is that the administrative center of the Great Xing'anling area that we didn't enter when we went to the arsenal last time?" ”
"Yes." Xu Kai replied: "In the past, this was also the timber distribution center in the Daxinganling area, and most of the timber in the Daxinganling was transported from here. Rail transport is well developed. However, due to the implementation of the national forest protection policy and the ban on logging, the railway transportation here has also declined. In addition, the area is remote, so it is one of the latest areas to start the electrification of railways. So the internal combustion engine trains here have not been completely phased out. We found two internal combustion engine locomotives at the train station here, and the scouts reported that they looked fairly new and should still work! ”
"Great!" Chen Yuan asked happily, "Can they drive the train back now?" This time, our material trade with Shenwu City can just be used. It's much faster with the train! ”
"Captain, that's exactly what I'm going to tell you next." Xu Kai said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to drive these two trains back. ”
"What? What's the trouble? ”
"Yes." Xu Kai replied: "First, our scouts don't know how to drive the train, and we haven't found the surviving train driver over there, so we need to look here to see if there are any train drivers sent over." ”
Chen Yuan said: "This is simple, you immediately start looking for people who understand train driving and maintenance throughout the settlement. ”
"Second, the railway line from Gedaqi to the Iron Citadel also needs to be inventoried. There should still be trains running on this railway line before the end of the world, and I don't know if the trains that no one controlled later, caused damage to the railway. In addition, if there is a train blocking the road, you need to move it out of the way. Our train will be able to pass smoothly. ”
"Well, you're right. This aspect has to be taken into account, and we can take people to check it along the railway line immediately. ”
Xu Kai continued: "Third, from Gedaqi to the Iron Castle, there are three towns that we have not yet recovered. Because of the mountainous terrain, there was nowhere for the railway to detour, and it was passed directly from the town. Along the line are all residential areas. Passing by the train may cause a riot of zombies here. Increased risk. So are we going to clean up these three towns ahead of time? ”
"The good news is that these three towns are very small in the mountains, and the largest number of zombies should not exceed 5,000."
"Understood. Then let's do it now. After hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately nodded and said, "You are looking for drivers and maintenance personnel here." I immediately organized repair teams and combat units. We'll leave as soon as possible, and we're going to get our hands on both trains anyway. ”
"Understood!"
Two days later, a large convoy set off from the Steel Fort again, heading north along the G111 national highway to Gedaqi.
Participating in the operation were the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Field Infantry of the Fort of Steel Self-Rescue Army, the Guard Platoon, the 1st Company of the Fire Support Battalion, the 1st Company of the Mortar Battalion, the 3rd Squads of the Sniper Squadron, the Tank Battalion, and the corresponding logistics and maintenance personnel, as well as Daha and Zhanhu, a total of more than 1,800 people and two mutant creatures.
In terms of vehicles, in addition to the 25 tanks of the tank battalion, there are also armored road vehicles, armored RVs, armored personnel carriers, sleeper buses, cargo vehicles, etc., a total of hundreds of vehicles.
Along the way, they cleaned up zombies and inspected the railway line.
The first day was not bad. There is nothing unusual about the local railways that pass through. The strongholds of the zombies are also small villages, and with Chen Yuan's current strength, they can be easily cleared.
At noon the next day, they arrived on the railway line, two kilometers south of Bayan, the first town to be recaptured.
"Tell the troops to stop and stand by." Here Chen Yuan gave the order to stop advancing.
At the same time, he also used his mobile phone to contact Xu Kai, Zhang Zeshan, and Jiang Wenli: "Lao Xu, Zhang Zeshan, Jiang Wenli." Let's go up and have a look. ”
Zhang Zeshan was concerned about Chen Yuan's safety, and suggested: "Fort Chief, let's send a drone to investigate." You don't have to go there yourself! ”
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I just happened to be tired from sitting in the car and wanted to get out of the car and go for a walk." And the terrain here is much more complex than on the plains, so it's best to see it with your own eyes. ”
"Then you have to take a platoon of guards, right?"
"It's okay to take a class, not too much. Let's go and get back quickly, nothing will happen. Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I said Zhang Zeshan, you should actually worry more about yourself!" We're all supernaturals, and we're all faster than you. You're the one behind the mat. ”
Jiang Wenli also smiled: "Yes, Zhang Zeshan, if you are really in danger, my sister will not save you." ”
Zhang Zeshan suddenly smiled bitterly: "Don't take such a bully." ”
"Who told you you didn't kill a mutant yourself?" Chen Yuan smiled: "There will be a chance in the future, come on, I'm optimistic about you!" ”
Then Chen Yuan and the others secretly came to a hillside south of Bayan Town. It is only six or seven hundred meters away from Bayan Town, and you can see the entire Bayan Town from a high vantage point.
Xu Kai pointed to the town and Chen Yuan under the hillside in front of them and said: "That's Bayan Town, this is the valley bottom, and the road into the mountain is on the left side of the hillside, and there is almost no flat land along the way. Only Bayan Town still has a relatively open and flat area. According to prior reconnaissance, there were about 4000 zombies inside. There are two corpses, and there are no corpses. ”
Chen Yuan asked, "What about the fortified species?" Is there a specific number? ”
Xu Kai replied, "Yes." At present, there are about 8 flying corpses, 4 reptilian corpses, 3 gun corpses, 3 cannon corpses, 5 acid corpses, 6 giant corpses, 5 combined corpses, and 1 intelligent corpse. A total of 36 of them. However, this data can only be used as a reference, and the number of fortified species is large, and it often moves, so it is difficult to count. ”
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "I know, it's okay to have an approximate amount." ”
Zhang Zeshan observed the terrain and suggested: "4,000 zombies is not much. And the terrain is also favorable, we can ambush the troops on the hillside, and then lure the zombies out, and then make a surprise attack. Condescendingly destroy the zombie horde. ”
"But beware of sneak attacks from flying corpses and reptilian corpses." Jiang Wenli analyzed: "The mountainous terrain is complex, and there are many grasses and trees, flying corpses are good at flying at low altitudes, and the movements of climbing corpses are very agile, if they come around from the hillside, they are not easy to find." ”
Chen Yuan nodded very satisfied, these two people have been trained in war for a period of time, and they are already very tactically minded.
He said, "You're right. So let's do it, the 1st and 3rd Field Battalions will set up ambushes from here. I asked Daha, Zhanhu, the guard platoon, and the fire support company to organize a defensive line at our current position to prevent flying corpses and reptilian corpses from passing by here to sneak up on us, but until the main force of the zombie group enters our ambush position, it is strictly forbidden to be exposed. The tank battalion was responsible for the frontal assault on the road. The old way, lure the snake out of the hole. ”
