Chapter 111 - Expeditionary Force Base
This base covers an area of nearly 30 square kilometers, a rectangular area from northeast to southwest, and ground surveillance radars are installed at intervals around it, and there are fixed patrol teams equipped with vehicle-mounted and individual ground surveillance radars to patrol outside, all because the nature of the base here and the troops stationed here are still in the experimental stage, so the level of secrecy is very high, and the security is relatively very strict, but in this apocalyptic period, it has become a high-security gathering place.
After the power supply line between the hydropower plant and the base was repaired for a short time, Chen Guohao, together with the technicians of the power plant rescued from the previous mission, the electronics professionals among the survivors of the original base, and the officers and men of the communications unit in the base, made every effort to restore all external communications and detection in the base, including satellite antennas, radio transmitters, weather radars, ground surveillance radars, air search radars, and other major electronic equipment.
"Brother Yuan, our other three off-road RVs have all driven back, and the military people who are carrying other materials and outdoor equipment will also help us drive over, and then the person who manages the logistics materials has changed, and Medical Officer Li has become a medical team set up by doctors and nurses who are full-time managing the military medical officers and survivors, and the new logistics officer is an officer of the Southern Wolf Special Operations Brigade Transport Regiment and a very talkative person, he said that our people are not restricted to receiving things, but they can't ask someone to do it for them!"
Zhang Hongda, who drove back from the former base, said to Zhou Zhiyuan
Liu Jianyu, Zhang Hongda, and Lin Liangxue returned to the previous base by heavy transport helicopter to drive back the important equipment and materials of the team together with the off-road RV, Xie Dongcheng and Xu Weien, Fang Xuan, and Guan Haiqin went to help treat the survivors of this base, Chen Guohao was also helping to restore the communication system in the base, and Zhou Zhiyuan was to assist in planning the task system of Gu Maid.
"Fat Da, wait a minute, you ride to the vehicle repair shop to see if there is anything you need our help with, and you can also learn about the structure and power of military vehicles, those majors, I told Lao Zeng that the books and documents are all with you, and our off-road RV can be used casually if it is a tool or a part if it is to be modified."
Zhou Zhiyuan said to Zhang Hongda while writing in the notebook
"The military now has the highest level of vehicle repair energy, even the main battle tank can be disassembled into pieces and reassembled, Lao Zeng has really invested in blood, and we can use such a secret place before the disaster!"
Zhang Hongda nodded and smiled
"He is rich now, this base is just a regiment of vehicles and equipment on land, and it also has ammunition and supplies for 6 months of continuous combat, and this is not a normal reserve in the base but a combat reserve for fighting outside, and there are additional weapons, equipment, ammunition, oil, spare parts, rations and other large warehouses under the ground, and Lao Zeng is still counting it!"
Zhou Zhiyuan said without raising his head
"I've heard them say that this base is not some kind of experimental training base? How can there be so many new weapons and equipment and such a large number of combat reserves"
Zhang Hongda asked suspiciously
"This base is actually the mother base of the newly established Marine Corps Expeditionary Force, including all the weapons and equipment of aviation and land warfare are placed here, and the fighters of the Air Force actually only have a few transport planes used to escort them to help the expeditionary force transport materials, and the other fighters are the new "Sea Hawk" short take-off and landing fighters that fly to the mother ship when they are about to go out on a mission, and the helicopters are also equipped with heavy, medium, light, and military straight according to the standards of the old and American amphibious assault ships."
Zhou Zhiyuan said like a treasure
"According to what you say, the troops here are all going to board large ships and go overseas on missions, right?"
Liu Jianyu asked curiously
"Xu Changshan said that the officers and men here will board a new amphibious assault ship and a dock landing ship of more than 20,000 tons that they often see on the news before, but they don't know about the navy and crew."
Zhou Zhiyuan replied
"What is the difference between a dock landing ship and an amphibious assault ship?"
Liu Jianyu asked again
"The dock landing ship is a warship that can carry mechanical landing craft, amphibious combat vehicles and hovercraft, and the cabin in the rear section is like a dock in a shipyard, which can be flooded into a semi-draft state so that the landing craft, amphibious combat vehicles and hovercraft can enter and exit, and during the operation, the soldiers and equipment participating in the operation will be transported to the best distance from the coastline, and then board the landing craft, hovercraft, and amphibious combat vehicles to launch an attack, and it will also serve as a temporary base for the expeditionary force at sea, replenishing ammunition and supplies for the shore, and shelling the shore if necessary."
Zhou Zhiyuan replied
"The amphibious assault ship is in addition to having a larger rear dock than the dock landing ship, in addition to a large straight-through deck, which can take off and land more helicopters and vertical take-off and landing fighters than the dock landing ship, has a relatively powerful air attack and ground fire support capability, and can also carry more personnel and vehicles to land and seize the beach, if it is a larger regional war, two will sail together, the amphibious assault ship will carry the main attack force, the amphibious landing ship will carry logistics supplies, and several anti-submarine and air defense warships."
Not long after Zhou Zhiyuan popularized the differences between the two types of warships, Zeng Weizhong, the commander of the base, sent people to invite Zhou Zhiyuan to discuss things, and the others went to work on other things, Zhang Hongda went to the vehicle repair factory, and Liu Jianyu and Lin Liangxue stayed behind to sort out the equipment and materials of the team.
"What's the you want me to come over and discuss? There are about 2,000 surviving officers and soldiers under your hands now, plus this base, so it won't be my turn to be a common man, you must know that I have been doing day labor!"
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled as soon as he entered the door
Zeng Weizhong said: "I didn't want you to do a day job when I came to you this time, just now the satellite received the signal and I sent a message to the various high-level as usual, but there was a positive reply from Shangjing this time, although it was just text, but the encryption level sent was the highest, I have decrypted it and printed it out, you can take a look but don't pass it on to anyone other than the nine of you."
Xu Changshan also said seriously: "This is all good news, but we just need the consent of a few of you, he and I hope that you can help us with this, and show you the secret document in full just to show the affection and trust between us."
