Chapter 166: The Great Retreat (I)
When the convoy returned to the Zhangshu Army Airport, the helicopters had already arrived, the twelve helicopters were all intact and new, and the surname Neng was also in the best condition, Xie Tian calculated in his heart, the four Wuzhi-11 can be armed, so that it can become a real armed helicopter, but missiles, aviation guns, these things, Xie Tian does not have at hand, what can be done is to install the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine gun in the cabin, shoot through the hatch, in addition, can also carry several combatants.
As for the Z-8F, which has a load capacity of nearly four tons, each aircraft can transport twenty soldiers, and can also have a load capacity of at least two tons, and eight is one hundred and sixty people and sixteen tons of load, although it is very small, but if it is used to transport important materials, the amount of sixteen tons is still considerable, especially weapons, ammunition and important equipment.
In order to alleviate the current pressure on Zhangshujun Airport, Xie Tian transferred some fighters to Shanghai Pudong Airport, where an air base was re-established.
Just when Xie Tian just breathed a sigh of relief, Yanjing fell into a crisis, the zombies in the northeast approached Yanjing on a large scale, according to the information provided by the defending soldiers, the number of zombies was at least more than sixteen million, and at this moment, the front end of the zombie army had reached Chengde, and a large number of zombies in the northwest had also approached Yanjing from the direction of Hohhot, and the distance was only a few hundred kilometers.
Chairman Han specially approached Patton, who had already begun to consider the issue of evacuating Yanjing, and when he saw Patton, he said, "Zhengxuan, can you start withdrawing into Shanghai now?" ”
"Yes." Xie Tian nodded, but said with some reluctance: "If you give up Yanjing like this, you will have to start again when you arrive in Shanghai, most of the residential areas and industrial areas in Shanghai have not been restored, and the hardware facilities are far inferior to Yanjing." ”
"With so many zombies approaching, it's hard for us to defend against them." Chairman Han said with some concern: "Seven million people want to retreat, and it will take at least half a month to pass the railway, if we don't start retreating immediately, then it will be too late for the zombies to retreat." ”
Xie Tian frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "What about Yanjing's important equipment?" Start your move to Shanghai now? ”
"You can start as soon as possible." Chairman Han said: "First transfer some of the survivors, and then do our best to restore the living environment in Shanghai, and at the same time, we will also transport those important equipment and materials to Shanghai, and find a suitable place in Shanghai again." ”
Xie Tian nodded helplessly, but said extremely reluctantly: "My school has only been open for a month, and I see that it is finally on the right track."
Chairman Han smiled and said: "The environment in Shanghai is not bad, Tongji University, Jiaotong University and Fudan University, you can make use of these schools, anyway, Shanghai is a big city with a population of tens of millions, and we only have a total of only eight million people, even if we only survive in one city in Shanghai, there will be no pressure." ”
Xie Tian nodded and said: "Shanghai is full of zombie corpses, damaged vehicles, and buildings, I will send some survivors to Shanghai to clean up the environment, with the movement speed of zombies, it will take at least ten days to reach the surrounding areas of Yanjing, and there is still time to do so." ”
"I'm afraid it's too late." Chairman Han opened his mouth and asked, "How many people do you think your railway can transport to Shanghai with the maximum capacity per day?" ”
Xie Tian said lightly: "This, one million is no problem, let me tell you, if the heavy-duty boxcar, one hundred cars, each carriage can squeeze two or three hundred people, this car can take away twenty or thirty thousand, and the current railway is a direct railway, the train does not slow down or stop, the density of the train can be maintained at the maximum, it is easy to transport one million people every day, it is nothing more than people are wronged, it doesn't matter." ”
"Then let's prepare." Chairman Han said: "Shanghai is so large, we must clear it out as soon as possible, I will give you 100,000 troops, and you can bring one to two million survivors over, and while cleaning up the urban area of Shanghai, we will garrison important traffic intersections in Shanghai." ”
"Okay." Xie Tian said: "Then in this case, from tomorrow, I will no longer let people send thermal coal to Yanjing, and all of them will be sent to Shanghai." ”
Chairman Han nodded and sighed: "You go and do it, I want to rest for a while, Yanjing, we can't hold it, give up this imperial city of several dynasties, there is really something bad in my heart." ”
Xie Tian left Chairman Han, and immediately gathered a few officers and ordered the first wave of retreat orders: "Organize 100,000 soldiers to arrive in Shanghai first, thoroughly wipe out the remaining zombies in Shanghai, and then organize 3,000 soldiers to go to the survivors' stations, and say that the political axe will recruit a large number of laborers, and all young and middle-aged people aged 20-40 can participate and go to Shanghai." ”
Xie Tian did not reveal the news that the zombies were approaching and that they were going to give up Yanjing, there are so many survivors in the city, they have now begun to gradually adapt to the safe environment of Yanjing, and they have gradually returned to a peaceful life, if they suddenly make their spirits tense, I don't know how many uncontrollable events will happen.
However, if Shanghai is the development base is also very good, geographically, it is many times safer than Yanjing, although it has lost the special history and identity of Yanjing, but Shanghai's Pudong New Area, basically a rectangle cut by the Huangpu River, if the population is concentrated there, not only can rely on the river as a defense, but also has Pudong Airport, there are railways, there are docks, sea, land and air three kinds of transportation are very convenient, it is definitely a good place.
The soldiers soon issued the mobilization order of the political axe, which was the largest recruitment of the political axe, and the direct demand for labor was as many as two million people, and the treatment promised by the political axe was 500 grams of raw rice, 50 grams of meat, and 30 grams of vegetables per person per day, which was relatively generous, so it was not a problem to recruit two million people at all, and in a very short time, these two million people had been in place.
Yanjing South Station began to get busy again, the locomotive driver began to deploy a large number of trains to transport a large number of survivors to Shanghai, from seven o'clock that night, each train carrying nearly 30,000 people began to depart from Yanjing South Station, every 20 minutes, the capacity of 80,000 people per hour, thank God forbids anyone to carry any luggage and items, except for some personal food supplies, others are not allowed to carry, because the amount of materials in Shanghai is larger than Yanjing, and there are many housing, everything can be solved in Shanghai.
A large number of people began to set off for Shanghai, Xie Tianying controlled Patton to send people off in Yanjing, Xie Tian himself rushed to Shanghai with the army began to arrange and coordinate the arrival of the survivors, the first thing to clean up was Pudong New Area, every group of people, thank Tian let them rest for a day, they immediately put into the cleaning work, a large number of transport vehicles were driven to Pudong New Area, the corpses of zombies, basically filled a whole car, directly pulled to Chongming Island by truck, and then burned with gasoline, And those damaged vehicles have also been pulled here, and Chongming Island has become a garbage dump in the new Shanghai.
"Brother Xie." Li Xiaohe was transferred to Shanghai by Xie Tian to do overall planning and management work, two days after she took over the work, she found Xie Tian and said: "The number of survivors is too much, our ability to supervise is not good, there are not enough manpower, many survivors secretly ran out to find supplies, there have been many incidents in the past two days, and the survivors who died in accidents have reached more than 100 people." ”
Xie Tian asked with a headache: "Let the soldiers guard every bridge, and don't let anyone go out of Pudong New Area at will, and you go to warn those survivors, after the work is done, we will inspect their temporary housing, and confiscate all the materials that are not clear about the origin, I don't think they are interested in running out and risking to find supplies." ”
"It's going to be a lot of work." Li Xiaohe blurted out: "There are so many survivors, almost half of the houses in Pudong New Area, how can we search for them." ”
"It's just a threat." Xie Tian said: "As long as they are convinced that the materials they find will not end up in their pockets, they will not have any more risky thoughts." ”
"Okay." Li Xiaohe nodded and said, "Then I'll do it now." ”
Although two million laborers have arrived in Shanghai, there are still more than five million people in Yanjing, and these people are still migrating to Shanghai one after another.
Hongqiao is still dozens of kilometers away from Pudong Airport, and Shanghai's Metro Transportation Line 2 can just link these two places, and the subway capacity is very large.
Xie Tian personally and several staff members entered the second line to check the situation, the second line can be said to be a mess at the moment, the corpses, stumps and so on have already decomposed to the extreme, but there is no problem with the hardware facilities, after investigation, the staff gave the conclusion that: first, to restore the power supply of the subway, and to have sufficient protection, after all, the power of the subway system, lighting, ventilation, dispatching all rely on electricity; Second, a large number of personnel should be dispatched to clean up the environment in the subway, and as for the hardware equipment, they can shoulder various responsibilities.
Xie Tian suddenly felt that the professional talents were stretched, he wanted to open the entire Shanghai Waigaoqiao Power Plant, but the large equipment of the power plant needs professional personnel to work and maintain, but Xie Tian can't find so many power talents now, anxious, but the talent is not said to come, Xie Tian was anxious, so he simply selected more than 1,000 people from the survivors, all sent to the power plant as apprentices, and each experienced worker was responsible for bringing five to ten apprentices, Strive to train a group of people who can help as soon as possible, so that some professional power personnel can take time out to resume operations at the Waigaoqiao Power Plant.
Yanjing is still continuously transporting people and various equipment to Shanghai, the production base of North Industries Group has been dismantled, all sent to Yanjing South Railway Station for loading and transportation to Shanghai, doctors in Union Medical College Hospital have also begun to transfer patients and medical equipment, medicines and materials, the school is still in class, Xie Tian does not want these children and teachers to participate in the retreat in a panic, and will provide passenger vehicles for these people to transport them to Shanghai in an orderly manner.
The zombies are still approaching gradually, in order to slow down the speed of the zombies, Xie Tian sent bombers from Yanjing to bomb the zombies closest to Yanjing, and the fire and huge damage caused by napalm made the zombies obviously slow down the speed of advancing towards Yanjing, and bought some time for Yanjing's retreat again.
Because the large-scale retreat did not stop for several days, the survivors also guessed the news that the country was going to evacuate the entire population to the south, and in the eyes of the survivors who did not know the movement of the zombies, moving to Shanghai was a good thing, so there was no confusion for a while, but more than a dozen scholars went to Zhongnanhai to petition, kneeling at the door and begging for President Han's reception.
Xie Tian and Chairman Han have been busy with various matters of the great retreat these days, and neither of them has paid attention to the scholars' petitions, after all, now is a critical moment, and anyone can tell which is more important, Xie Tian really can't think of any important things for a few scholars to petition, but after learning that those scholars knelt in front of Zhongnanhai Gate all night, he had to order the guards to take those people to the meeting room in Zhongnanhai, and only give them twenty minutes.
As soon as more than a dozen scholars entered the door, they immediately knelt down in front of Xie Tian, which made Xie Tian have a headache, he hurriedly helped each other up one by one, and said, "Everyone, everyone, can you say something good?" You said that you don't say a word, and when you come, kneel down, who can stand this battle? ”
"Commander Qin." An old man in his sixties pleaded: "We have retreated, we have given up the historical city of Yanjing, but we must not give up the cultural relics of Yanjing!" There are so many national treasures in the Palace Museum, you must find a way to take these things away, this is the root and soul of the nation! ”
Xie Tian said with a little crying and laughing: "Everyone, our retreat is to avoid zombies, not to avoid invaders, zombies only eat people, not cultural relics, is it possible that you are still afraid that they are coming, will knock down the [***] city tower?" ”
"It's just that those things are the crystallization of our nation's culture for thousands of years, if you can't take them away, if you don't have the opportunity to return to Yanjing in the future, what is the difference between those cultural relics and those lost? Please, Commander Qin, find a way to bring these cultural relics to Shanghai, and if our children and grandchildren ask in the future, they will have an explanation! ”
"That's right!" An older old man blurted out: "Gong Jiang was not right back then, when Lao Jiang withdrew to Taiwan, he did his best to take away a large number of cultural relics, Lao Jiang is fine, we must not take it seriously!" ”
