Chapter 39 The Third Squad
Barracks of the blockade line
In the past two days, he has put all his energy into the fifty-member squad sent out, and they not only carry communication equipment, but also install tracking and locators, so that they can control the information at any time.
On the second day of their departure, they all encountered some unexpected situations more or less, for which the rear had to re-plan the route for them. Each member of the squad of fifty was equipped with the finest equipment in the blockade, whether it was a pistol or an assault rifle, all of which were equipped with silencer.
If you encounter a small number of zombies, you can continue to move forward after confirming that they are cleaned up, but if there are too many of them and the corpses are too concentrated, you can only retreat and detour, and before you get medicines and supplies and other useful materials, any battle will only increase accidents and casualties.
Li Xianzong also thought about reducing the number of the squad to one platoon or two reinforced squads, which might be more flexible and respond faster in the face of emergencies, but according to their experience in cleaning up zombies some time ago, if they really encountered an emergency, the number of zombies would only exceed 100, and it would be almost impossible to retreat with their whole body, and if they were deeply surrounded by corpses, the chance of escape would not exceed half.
And a reinforced platoon, if surrounded, at least has the capital to fight positional warfare, there is enough firepower to cover, and it is not impossible for a few people to break out of the siege at the risk of death, their task is to bring the medicine back, to a certain extent, to alleviate the potential crisis within the blockade line, as for how many people can live, this kind of fateful thing, ask for more blessings!
Yang Lun has been in the scout company for five years, has participated in many military exercises, last year's "Erna Assault" international scout competition, their division got five indicators, in the company after a series of competitions, he was fortunate to be shortlisted.
In the primeval forests of eastern Estonia, 4 days and 3 nights, a long-distance run of 150 kilometers, with only less than 3 hours of rest, crossing the jungle, passing through swamps, and there are multiple assessment items on the way, cliff climbing, mine clearance, rescue, and long-distance shooting at night...... And so on, that time, they won 7 first places in 14 assessment items and won back the "winner" trophy.
He has been keeping a distance of 300 meters from the main force behind him, and fifty meters to the right of his side, there is also one of his comrades-in-arms, Huo Yuan, who only entered the reconnaissance company this year, it just so happened that Yang Lun was his squad leader, and when the fifty-person squad signed up, Yang Lun saw him stand up from the company, and his heart was both proud and sad.
This kind of task should have been carried out by veteran ruffians like them, for them, there is still a long way to go, if he remembers it well, when he was joking, he learned that Huo Yuan's kid was still a chick, and when he thought of this tall and handsome, silent and shy young man, if he gave his life here, his heart couldn't help but ache.
"Number 2!"
"Roger!" The two have been using radio communication with each other, and the reason why they chose to double the reconnaissance is also because they are afraid that something will happen, but the rear does not know at all, although they will confirm each other's situation with the main force every five minutes, but they have an accident, and when they react, it will be really late.
"Buildings appear on the way forward, make sure you are safe within thirty meters, and contact the rear to slow them down." They have moved away from the city and officially entered the urban-rural junction, where most of them are living circles composed of hundreds of families, which only meet the most basic living requirements, and the supporting components of modern life are not yet perfect in these places, such as banks, schools, large hospitals, and shopping malls.
They are very close to the small county town, maybe half an hour, or maybe only ten minutes by car, which is very convenient, and if the population gradually increases, the government will naturally allocate resources to these places.
"No source of infection has been found, orders have been given to the rear."
"Go ahead carefully."
"Roger!"
After about ten seconds, advancing a distance of twenty meters, Yang Lun didn't know what to think of, and stopped.
"Huo Yuan."
"What's wrong? Monitor. ”
"Nothing, keep going."
"Roger."
In fact, Yang Lun thought of the last time the army was on vacation, Huo Yuan wanted to invite him out for a drink, according to himself, this was a task given to him by his father, and he must have a good relationship with his comrades in a squad, especially the squad leader, he must invite others to drink once. At that time, he politely refused, but now that he thinks about it, he regrets it a little, if he can go back, he will also find the above to ask for a bottle, and the two of them will have a good drink.
This is only the situation of the third squad, the second squad is already close to its destination, but the first squad is caught in a hard battle. It turns out that positional warfare is just their own imagination, when the zombies come up one after another, and they are not afraid of death, a magazine misses, and it may not be able to completely shoot and kill a few zombies, this kind of furious, extremely fast "moving target" will not stand waiting for you to shoot the head.
The formation was disrupted in an instant, when the zombies pounced on the people around them, they didn't even have a way to turn the muzzle of the gun to rescue, as long as the muzzle was facing the direction of a dumb fire, there would be countless zombies pounced on themselves, listening to the roar of their companions, they only kept retreating, and approached into a circle again.
The fiery snake erupted from the barrel of the gun, and because of the installation of silence, the scene was not as earth-shattering as imagined, but more like a silent death sacrifice, the zombies flew up, were broken by bullets, or were shot out by several bursts of fire, at the same time, in the same place, dozens of corpses flew in a larger circle in the air, and finally fell to the ground.
There was no way to save those who fell to the ground, at least three of them were lying on top of them, biting their necks and arms, frantically tearing their coats and tactical vests.
The battle lasted nearly two minutes, and finally ended with the explosion of a grenade, the roar silenced everyone in the camp in the rear, mourning, grief, may not be enough to describe their mood at the moment, from negative resistance to despair, they witnessed the whole process through the sound, but there was nothing more painful than this.
First Squad
The ruins after the battle were simply Shura Field, the ground was stained red with blood, and there were broken limbs and broken internal organs everywhere, except for the charred black in the center, which spread out in a circle, densely packed with corpses, and there were more zombies that were constantly attracted to it.
This place has become a forbidden area that humans can no longer set foot in.
Of course, the second and third squads were unaware of this change.
Li Xianzong has another headache in the past two days, the observer on the high wall said that there were zombies scattered in the blockade line, they obviously cleaned up this area, and set up barricades in the distance, and all the entrances and exits of the building were blocked with things, he didn't know where the zombies came from, it may have something to do with the heavy rain two days ago.
He could only make two preparations, on the one hand, to reduce the area of the camp and build a temporary refuge area, and on the other hand, to send someone to quietly melt the weld of the gate of the checkpoint.
If there were really a large number of zombies inside the blockade, they wouldn't be able to let the people inside go. The reason why they were not allowed in before was because of many considerations.
First of all, he can't guarantee that there are no infected people among so many people. As long as one of them is infected and infiltrates, the entire barracks will not be spared.
Second, they are relatively safe and easy to manage inside, and there is no need to think about riots, but if they come in, they will not only have to spend more energy on managing them, but also to prevent all kinds of adverse situations.
And now there is another reason, they are sick, many people are sick, and without the suppression and prevention of drugs, they are a source of disease explosion barrel.
But Li Xianzong still couldn't be ruthless, and letting him in was irresponsible to the more than 10,000 people of the 317th Division; If you don't let it in, it will go against your own concept of being a soldier, or even your belief in being a person.
Since the choice is uncertain, let's have a meeting!
"Go and call the commissar and the chief of staff, as well as the regimental cadres."
"Yes!" As an adjutant, he can't worry about the main officer, so he can only smile bitterly in his heart, laughing at his own incompetence.
Chief of Staff Wu Da has never left the command room since yesterday, and although the idea of a 50-member squad was put forward by Li Xianzong, he was in charge of the entire plan from the formulation of the plan to the execution of the command.
This would happen to the first team, and even he didn't expect that there were only a few dozen residents there.
In the past two days, Meng Lang has been dealing with various things in the rear, he is the political commissar, although many things do not need to be operated by himself, but he sits there, and it has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army, which is the prestige accumulated for a long time.
Five minutes later
Meng Lang was the last to arrive, and when he entered the house, he glanced at everyone, nodded to each other, walked to the back of his seat, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Okay, everyone is here, now let's talk about things."
"I'm sure you've heard some news, yesterday an observer found zombies inside the blockade, the barricades we set up are likely to have been destroyed, from yesterday noon to early this morning, a total of eight appeared, and this morning, the number has exceeded twenty, I believe you should know very well what this number represents." Li Xianzong's voice was loud, far from his usual depressed appearance.
Everyone had a calm face and a preoccupied look, it was foreseeable that it would not be long before a large number of zombies would "come to the city", and most importantly, a group of innocent people were locked out by them.
"Now there are two options, one, after checking, let them in, and I've got people to start adjusting and dividing the living quarters."
"Second, fend for yourself."
Li Xianzong looked around, and from the expressions on their faces, he already had a preliminary judgment in his heart.
"How do you know if you're infected?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, who was very big, and when he sat there, it made people feel that the space instantly became very narrow, and he was the head of the third regiment.
"There is no way, the only thing that is clear now is that the incubation period of the virus is very short, if there is an obvious abnormality in his body, he will be isolated first, and if there is no problem after two days, he can be put back, and in the first two days, I will let the soldiers patrol non-stop and wipe out all the sources."
"What about sick people? Fifty-man team ......" The person who spoke suddenly realized something, instantly closed his mouth and lowered his head, everyone would remember it, but no one wanted to mention it.
"I'm going to have people divide the living quarters, and things will always be resolved."
"Xianzong, there is one more thing I have to tell you, we don't have many supplies, we didn't even deliver half of the supplies we originally planned, the supply line was broken, plus the previous delivery to the blockade line, now there are many soldiers who are two or three people covering a quilt."
"And then there's the food, the number of people has doubled in an instant, but there are so many mouths waiting to eat! Hunger is also a source of insurrection. "Meng Lang has been dealing with various affairs these days, so he knows these things very well.
If one person eats normally, they put seven thousand food a day into the blockade area, and the barracks, their own soldiers, are only five thousand. In this world, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart, in the face of such little food, the soldiers can suppress it, but the people can only hehe.
Look at those soldiers with guns, all of them exercise so much, they can still be alive, maybe how good they can eat in a day! Look at what we ate again, huh!
You reason with him, you tell them the data, believe you a ghost!
"Take your time! There's always a way. ”
When Meng Lang saw him say this, he could only sigh and say no more.
"Whoever still has a problem, bring it up."
The air was silent for two or three seconds, and no one spoke, and there were many questions, so I could say a lot of things, but was it useful?
"Okay, vote by show of hands, in favor of the first option."
Almost all of them raised their hands, and two of them, who hesitated, sighed and raised them too.
"Okay, I'll pass on the task in a while, everyone goes back, actively cooperates, if there is anything that can't be adjusted, report the matter to me, and I'll help you adjust."
Everyone left with their own hearts, but without exception, no one could laugh, so to speak, since they accepted the task, they have never laughed again.
Li Xianzong can't help it, if he doesn't be tough, then the things he does below will be discounted.
Meng Lang sat there, did not leave, took out the cigarette case in his trouser pocket, it was Yuxi, who was despised by Ye Ke, and handed one to him, the two have known each other for decades, fought the Vietnam War together, and enjoyed the treatment of almost being "beheaded", the long years, each other's temper and habits, may be clearer than each other's insiders.
Of course, the two are also big smokers who have been smoked for decades.
"Old friend, how long do you think we can hold out?"
"One day, count it as a day! Didn't the leader say that three years of the new, three years of the old, and another three years of patching up, aren't we still sewing and mending? ”
The two of them burst into laughter, and in the white smoke, they both saw the pain in each other's eyes.
