Chapter 069: Temporary Calm
Ding You looked very satisfied, and felt that Qin Mutian and Tang Jianye had real talents and practical knowledge in their respective professional skills, and they also had good ideas in military affairs.
A few words of praise attracted a humble response from the two, who were busy saying that it was the credit of the team leaders who stayed behind, and they were just helping to design the design.
"Boss, this base looks inconspicuous on the outside, but it's very big on the inside. In addition to the weapons production lines in one workshop after another, we actually found the storage points of the quilts, and the military uniforms and quilts in them were simply clicked, and the number definitely exceeded 10,000 sets! ”
"What, more than 10,000 sets of military uniforms?" Ding You's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.
"Yes, boss, the storage conditions are good, the maintenance is very good, and there is no mold and deterioration." Tang Jianye was also shocked by the discovery.
There are military uniforms and quilts, and Ding Youle is happy. This can alleviate the current problem of the lack of unified military uniforms in the Deep Blue Star Base. If it is paired with a uniform uniform, the spirit of the entire army can be improved, and it will definitely be upgraded to a higher level.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Ding Youxing was about to go and check.
"Boss, there's actually something to discover." Just as Ding You had just taken a step, Qin Mutian spoke again.
"I said Qin Gong, you still sell Guanzi! What was found? Ding You asked with a smile.
Just looking at Qin Mutian's expression when he spoke, Ding You knew that the discovery must not be a bad thing, so he was happy in his heart, and he had the heart to joke with him.
"Boss, we found a large warehouse at the base with dozens of tank-like cars in it." Qin Mutian didn't know much about military knowledge after all, so he could only say that it was a tank.
"What?"
Ding You was shocked, and then he was ecstatic.
Not a few, but dozens!
Even if it's not a tank, just dozens of armored vehicles, this news is enough for Ding You to rejoice.
Now the base and the ninth district are basically incompatible, with the addition of new weapons, especially this kind of big treasure, how can there be any reason to be unhappy.
"Let's go and see the tanks first!"
Originally, Ding You thought it was a real tank, but until he entered the internal space of the huge cave, the rows of neatly parked vehicles left a very deep impression on Ding You.
Is this a tank?
It looks a bit like it, but it's not exactly the same, as the barrel is noticeably thinner and slightly longer than the tank's.
Moreover, the specifications and formats of these dozens of cars are not the same, and some of them are types that Ding You has never seen.
In the end, Xiao Han, the owner of the weapon shop who stayed in the base, was invited over, but he didn't expect Xiao Han to enter the warehouse and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Boss Ding, you, oh my God, you're too strong!"
Seeing that he only cared about emotion and did not solve his doubts, Ding Youke became anxious.
"Boss, don't worry, you have these things, if you train another artillery team, then District 9 will not be a threat to you."
"Why?" Ding You wondered.
"Boss Ding, these are self-propelled howitzers, I roughly clicked, there are about 20 of them. There are also other vehicles, including fire command vehicles, combat information command vehicles, front-line search vehicles, meteorological survey radar vehicles, ballistic positioning radar vehicles, ammunition supply vehicles, mechanical rescue vehicles, and electromechanical maintenance and material preparation vehicles. Such a large number is completely standard for an artillery battalion. ”
"What? Artillery battalion? Ding You was shocked, it turned out that these were self-propelled guns in front of him.
"Yes, boss, if you can run these cannons, you'll be far ahead of Sector 9 in long-range strikes. Even if the base population is small, it can form an asymmetric advantage. ”
Xiao Han is indeed a military expert, and his head is the Tao. But although Ding You was happy in his heart, he thought that the population was not enough, and he had a big head. To launch such a large-scale artillery battalion, there will definitely be no shortage of personnel.
Sure enough, Xiao Han said that if it needs to operate normally, it will basically be equipped with at least 300 people, and it will take a lot of time to train.
Ding You now has more than 100 people in the CCT (Conventional Combat Force), all of whom have been transferred to the artillery battalion to barely be able to operate a company of 6 self-propelled howitzers.
People, people, tossing for a long time and finding that there is a shortage of personnel!
Cheng Hai and Zhao Gang couldn't help much, and now they were also stunned as they looked at this well-maintained, basically brand-new self-propelled gun. In the end, Xiao Han came up with the idea for Ding You.
"Boss, if this self-propelled howitzer uses ordinary concave shells, then the effective firing range is 40 km, and if extended-range bottom row shells are used, then the maximum firing range can reach 50 km."
"50 km? What do you mean......"
"Yes, boss, if we only need to defend for the time being and don't need to take the initiative to attack, put these howitzers in a good position, even if you use ordinary shells, you can directly cover the urban area of the ninth district!"
When he said this, Xiao Han looked excited, this guy has just left the ninth district for only a few hours, why is he thinking about revenge at this moment.
However, this proposal made Ding You's heart move.
That's right, now that there is a shortage of manpower, the artillery unit can fire directly at the base without going out. And the range fully covers the ninth district, so there is no need to run around at all.
In this case, it is only necessary to consider two gunners, one sight, a total of 3 people can operate a self-propelled gun that does not require a driver and an artillery commander.
With 6 artillery vehicles in a standard artillery battery, 18 people can complete the shooting mission. At a critical juncture, if you need a battalion firepower attack, it is not too difficult to get 60 people out.
However, this situation will not be too much, after all, there is no further action in the ninth district at the moment. As long as Ding You took out an artillery company, he usually practiced instead of fighting, and directly set the practice target to the ninth district, which was enough for them to drink a pot.
So Ding You asked Xiao Han to be in charge of training, and by the way, he asked a few soldiers stationed at the food station who could drive tanks and armored vehicles to come and drive the equipment of an artillery company.
Xiao Han's work arrangement for Ding You did not say a word. In his heart, he is also willing to follow Ding You at this time. After all, in front of the delicious food, the job is well worth it.
What's more, with these long-range strike artillery, it is impossible for Region 9 to pose any threat to the Deep Blue Star Base at all. Don't look at its large population now, but Xiao Han feels that on some level, the ninth district has begun to decline.
……
For a whole morning, Ding You soaked in the arsenal. When the personnel were in place, he had to go back to the base. Because yesterday's massacre of the soldiers sent by Pan Wu has already happened this morning.
Looking at the report from the radar station, Ding You frowned, it seemed that the zombies were not too far away from him.
I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of the firepower of the Deep Blue Star Base, or if the zombies now have some intelligent mutants as leaders. You don't see them during the day, but at night you don't know where they come from.
The corpses on the battlefield last night were eaten a lot in the night. The radar detection results showed that there was movement at night on the battlefield more than a kilometer away from the food trading station at the foot of the mountain.
It's just that everyone was on guard against District 9 at that time, so they didn't have time to take care of them.
"Boss, the number of those zombies is not particularly large, but relying on us so close, it is always a hidden danger, I think we should take the time to clean up the area around our base."
Cheng Hai was worried about the threat of zombies, and Ding You agreed. Let's see, if there is really no reaction from the ninth district, then Ding You will start preparing to clear the zombies around the base.
At the very least, create a safe environment for the food trading post and the arsenal to connect the passages.
This time, it was on the bar with the ninth district, and the results achieved were not low. In particular, I bombed them, and I also took a bad breath for myself.
From an optimistic point of view, perhaps such a situation will also advertise food trading stations. After all, listening to Shchedrin, there are still many small survivor settlements around the Deep Blue Star Base and District 9.
In addition, the small farms that grow mutant plants and raise mutant organisms to produce food also have a large population in them.
It is a person who knows the difference between the mutated impurity food and the fresh food provided by Ding You, so as long as the others know that the Deep Blue Star Base has a certain ability, I believe that they will come to trade with Ding You sooner or later.
Not to mention, there are also those guerrillas who like to wander around in the last days!
Those scattered weapons, after hunting zombies in the last days, get the crystal nucleus to go to the large survivor base to exchange food and drink, if they know that there is fresh and delicious food in the dark blue star base, it is estimated that they will run over directly.
With the presence of various armored vehicles, the size of the Yamashita Food Trading Station has also expanded. The perimeter was surrounded by tank and self-propelled artillery positions, and security was greatly improved.
With this level of protection, those who come to the trading post to exchange food should also feel reassured. Of course, if anyone is willing to join, Ding You is also welcome, after all, there is a shortage of people now!
The things in his heart are one by one, and Ding You feels like a robot when he is busy. Finally, the arrangements were made, and the sky was dark again. Dragging his tired body back to his residence, Ding You spread out directly on the sofa.
Xiaoyu came back from the "school" and saw Ding You lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, and hurriedly walked lightly.
But in the last days, Ding You didn't sleep deeply, and after opening his eyes and seeing Xiaoyu's cute appearance, he asked with a smile: "Xiaoyu, did you do well in school today?" ”
Xiaoyu saw that Ding You was awake, and she also ran over happily, squeezed into the sofa and was tired of being with Ding You, raised her little face and said, "Brother Xiaoyou, the teacher praised me today and praised me for being smart!" ”
Ding You smiled and touched his little head, took out a few packets of snacks from the drawer of the coffee table, and stuffed them to Xiaoyu as a reward.
Xiaoyu happily took it, tilted her head to look at the snacks in her hand and then at Ding You, and asked, "Brother Xiaoyou, did you quarrel with Sister Xiaonuo?" Why is she unhappy for the past two days, hiding in her room and not coming out to play with me? ”
