Chapter XXIII - Resources and Directions
Zhou Zhiyuan and five others are conducting rifle shooting training at the shooting training ground, which is taught by the sniper team of the anti-terrorist battalion of the special operations brigade: Sergeant Major Cao Ming and Sergeant He Jinlai.
Shooting is not a skill that can be easily learned, different guns and different bullet calibers, materials, weights in different wind speed, wind direction, humidity of the ballistic influence, as well as the earth's rotation, altitude, regional magnetic field, weather environment and other external factors can affect the accuracy of shooting.
It's not like in movies and games, where you can hit the crosshairs and red dots on people; There are more factors to consider for moving targets, in particular.
Every day in the future, Zhou Zhiyuan and the other five people will receive special training in combat skills from the most elite special forces in the south, and other officers and soldiers will also have collective unified training courses; No matter what kind of army it was formerly in, it was treated equally, except that the standard of physical fitness was different due to different personal limits; All other skills and knowledge are learned together.
According to the characteristics of living corpses, cold weapons hand-to-hand combat, a variety of individual weapons shooting training; operation and driving of water and land vehicles, knowledge of survival in the wild; All kinds of non-governmental communication equipment, natural power generation equipment, aerial photography equipment, outdoor equipment, etc. are all courses for everyone to learn.
After lunch, Zeng Weizhong, the current chief officer of the base, had a meeting with all the people in the conference center of the command building, according to him, everyone was a lifelong friendship; In the future, we will also support each other to survive, so all resources do not have to be hidden; After the statistics are completed, it will be announced to everyone.
"At present, I have counted all the vehicles and fuel available at the base."
Captain Sun Shiyundao, who is also a transport officer for the time being
2 tracked two-compartment all-terrain vehicles
One is a command model; The roof of the front carriage is equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun remote-controlled weapon station, and the roof of the rear carriage is equipped with a raised and lowered integrated mast for photoelectric reconnaissance; There are a total of 6 passengers.
Another armoured transporter, which was previously unarmed, took a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun from the base's arsenal and mounted it in the front carriage; Including the commander and crew of 4 passengers, the rear carriage is a cargo compartment or carries 6 fully armed soldiers.
2 x 8X8 wheeled armored vehicles
one is an assault gun truck with 30 rounds of 105 mm tank guns; Among them, there were 20 high-explosive incendiary bombs, 10 shell-piercing shells, and a crew of 6 people.
Another armoured personnel carrier is also equipped with a human-operated 12.7 mm heavy machine, which can transport eight heavily armed soldiers in addition to the commander, driver and gunner.
The three 4X4 armoured assault vehicles are currently equipped with human-operated 12.7mm heavy machine gun mounts on their roofs, and can carry four soldiers in addition to the front and co-pilot.
3 civilian off-road jeeps with off-road camping trailers turned out to be the transportation of Zhou Zhiyuan's five people.
There were already a number of newly arrived vehicles in the garage of the special operations base, two five-person all-terrain tactical assault vehicles, six all-terrain single-person four-wheeled ATVs, and 12 military lithium-electric mountain bikes.
In terms of aircraft, there are two fixed-wing UAVs, two stealth attack helicopters, and four special transport helicopters; But... There are no pilots.
The oil depot has 150 cubic meters of diesel fuel and 120 cubic meters of aviation fuel.
The arsenal was managed by an ordnance chief in the assault battalion, and both were in the basement of the two barracks; One is a heavy arsenal of grenades, directional induction mines, remote-controlled bombs, 40 mm grenade launchers, 60 mm rockets, 80 mm rockets, 120 mm rockets, and 80 mm portable recoilless guns.
The other is individual firearms of various calibers, such as pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, assault rifles, precision rifles, light machine guns, medium machine guns, heavy machine guns, sniper rifles, and anti-materiel rifles.
All the weapons are enough to equip a mechanized reinforced battalion, and the amount of ammunition can support the long consumption of the war for 12 months.
At present, there are 500 special individual soldier rations per year, 500 people per year of self-heating food of various flavors, including rice, hot dry noodles, meat and vegetable pastries, etc., and 12,000 bottles of purified water.
"If there are civilians in need of rescue, where are we going to put them?"
Medical officer Li Jiahe asked
"I would recommend that military bases not be open to civilians unless they are formally integrated into the military system; If the rescued civilians let them live in the large open space behind the farm, it would be better to separate so many high-secret equipment and materials in the base from the people."
Zhou Zhiyuan suggested
"I agree with that, we don't have enough of our own manpower; It's too tiring to guard the inside of the base, and there are a lot of things in the military base that are not suitable for the average person to know."
Sergeant He Jindao
"Now the military bases are still alive, and the weapons and equipment are quite safe; Most people don't have the courage to occupy it at the moment, but the more time passes, it's hard to say; So we need to be prepared for survivors who get weapons and do whatever they want."
Lieutenant platoon commander Yao Li said
"I know that tomorrow we will start searching nearby villages, towns, counties and military land, and recovering all the country's strategic resources in the form of carpet searches; Large-scale facilities that cannot be taken away must also be sealed up, and the state's weapons and equipment must not be allowed to fall into the hands of people with good intentions."
Zeng Weizhong nodded
"Do we have to rearrange our manpower, so that we can arrange and distribute work?"
Captain Company Commander Sun Shiyun said
Officer Major Zeng Weizhong, Captain Sun Shiyun, Lieutenant Yao Li, Lieutenant Li Jiahe 4 people, non-commissioned officer Cao Ming, junior sergeant major Cao Ming, a total of 7 non-commissioned officers; There are a total of 26 remaining soldiers, and Zhou Zhiyuan and his party are counted as the special operations team, and Zhou Zhiyuan is the captain; not included in the formal military structure; It's a partnership.
"By the way, have you ever heard of a lieutenant colonel officer with the rank of battalion commander surnamed Guan?"
Zhou Zhiyuan asked suddenly
"Our chief Guan Zhen, surnamed Guan is a lieutenant colonel; But he's already died in the line of duty, what's wrong? Do you know our battalion commander?"
Captain Company Commander Sun Shiyun asked Zhou Zhiyuan
"Saved a survivor before, just help her ask her father"
Zhou Zhiyuan replied
"Is the survivor you are talking about called Guan Haiqin? Our battalion commander is her only daughter, do you know where she is?"
Sun Shiyun said urgently
"About three weeks ago, I was in a new development area around the airport, which is more than 300 kilometers away; I don't know if she's still there, she had plenty of food before we parted."
Zhou Zhiyuan said
"Company Commander Sun, I need to remind you that only Zhou Zhiyuan and the five people here can leave freely; Because their means of transportation and resources were obtained by themselves, even we still owe him his life, fuel, and supplies; And everything we have at our disposal is state, you understand?"
Zeng Weizhong said to Sun Shiyun seriously
Sun Shiyun nodded silently and then sighed, it seems that Guan Haiqin's father is very popular with the military; He is also a very disciplined and principled soldier, which can be seen from the attitude of his subordinates.
"I'm sorry I lost my temper, our battalion commander has a favor for me; Helped me a lot."
Sun Shiyun said abruptly
"I'll go back and check it out if I have the chance, because there's a lot of outdoor gear to use if I want to help survivors; Like camping tents, inflatable mattresses, sleeping bags, lamps, etc., the mall still has a lot of stock."
Zhou Zhiyuan said to Sun Shiyun
"There are also solar power generator sets, which are not inferior to military efficiency at all; The more energy there is, the better, especially the renewable type."
Chen Guohao also said
"How large are the models in the drone display area can also be helpful in patrol exploration, and there are only 3 shopping malls in the province for such a complete exhibition and sale; Two of them are still in the city center."
Zhang Hongda added
"Also, we can't all shoot people to defend themselves, right? That should require a lot of long-handled cold weapons, and the living corpses are not as slow and methodical as they used to be; It's too close for the average person to live, so it's a little bit of a distance."
Liu Jianyu also put forward his opinions
"I remember that there were a lot of warehouses for online shopping in the area of the airport cargo area, and there were a lot of outdoor products; You can check it out when we do."
Xie Dongcheng thought for a while
"You have some truth in what you say, most of the military's resources are for combat purposes; There are really not many things for disaster relief and life, especially those of our special forces system; So there's a real need to collect some of these kinds of resources."
Zeng Weizhong thought with his hands folded
"What kind of means of transportation and manpower do you need, even if you are familiar with it, I am not pretentious; Dignitaries give people cars, cars give cars"
Zeng Weizhong said
"It doesn't take too many people, the five of us have enough combat power; Plus there is also Lolo, that is, the vehicle should be able to carry more than one load."
Zhou Zhiyuan said
"Let's drive that all-terrain transporter, the payload is 2,800 kilograms; The front vehicle is 730 kilograms and the rear vehicle is 2070 kilograms, and the armored personnel carrier can also carry 2,500 kilograms of supplies with the chairs removed."
The pilot non-commissioned officer of the Infantry Brigade spoke
"The two of us and one of the brethren of the assault battalion will go in an assault vehicle, and you will also have to be guarded and supported when you carry supplies or rescue people; You know our marksmanship, hehe!"
He Jin, who was saved by Zhou Zhiyuan, spoke up
"Well, what you said makes sense, then the five of us and Company Commander Sun will drive these two cars; The three of you are behind you."
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded and said
"The more than 300 kilometers of mountain roads will only arrive the next day if you leave now, so you go and prepare weapons and equipment."
Zeng Weizhong said
In less than five minutes, the two-man sniper team each carried a sniper rifle with a muffler, and the commando battalion soldier who was driving was a semi-automatic precision shooter rifle with a muffler.
"I'll wipe it, you don't have guns, huh? Take those two axes."
Cao Ming said in surprise
"Yes, everybody brought a pistol plus a silencer and two extra magazines; Besides, isn't there your vigilance, and it's hard to carry supplies with too many things?"
Zhou Zhiyuan said with a smile
"With your weird reaction speed, how can you touch the living corpse, but it is more advantageous for you to get close"
This morning, I was supposed to teach them fighting skills, but I couldn't help them from beginning to end, and several special forces felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness when they thought about it.
