The map on the table is a sketch map of Yangyuan Town and its surroundings within a hundred kilometers, and next to the sketch map, there is the current defense layout of the entire Yangyuan Town base. As Shen Yan lowered his head and looked at the map carefully, Li Mingyu and the others gradually lowered their voices.

With Guan Feng, a super bull special soldier, Shen Yan has already learned the skill of reading military maps in the past two months, although he is not proficient, but it is almost the same. About five minutes had passed, and Shen Yan raised his head, "Commander Li, the fortifications at the base of Yangyuan Town are not badly built, but if you want to use such fortifications to block the zombie hordes that come one after another, it is not enough at all!" ”

"Oh, then you can't tell me what's wrong!" Li Mingyu asked with his spirits up.

Shen Yan casually pointed to the map, except for the other three sides of the river in the north, and said: "Yangyuan Town is very developed, there are three roads in the east and west of the whole town, and there are also three roads in the west and north directions, and one of them leads directly to the north bank of the river, in other words, our defense gap is the twelve highway entrances and exits of these six roads!" ”

Li Mingyu nodded and said, "That's true, there are buildings in other places, just use walls to block the buildings!" ”

"Hmm." Shen Yan agreed, and then changed his words and said: "But the twelve entrances and exits are too much for the existing strength of our regiment. So, the first suggestion I wanted Commander Lee to give an immediate order to challenge those who qualified from among the survivors to join the army, and the price of joining was food. At the same time, from this moment on, all survivors must join the construction of the base if they want to get food! ”

Lao Zhang, the political commissar of the regiment, said: "When the guards went to Yangji Town before, the regiment commander gave this order. It's just that those civilians have never fought after all, and the vast majority of them have never even touched a gun, will they go to the battlefield...... And labor for food, isn't it also a bit ......"

Lao Zhang is a political worker, and most of his considerations are from the political aspect. Therefore, whether it is in the face of Li Mingyu's conscription order before, or Shen Yan's proposal to exchange labor for food now, there is some resistance. To put it bluntly, the starting point for considering problems is different, and when he thinks about problems, he is still thinking according to the usual thinking in peacetime.

After listening carefully to the words of the political commissar of the regiment, Shen Yan said with a smile: "There is nothing that will not be, no matter how skilled they are in using the gun, they can just drive!" The so-called veteran, after two battles, will he become a veteran when he sees blood! As for labor for food, there can be no doubt about it, unless you have plenty of food for the survivors to consume. ”

Seeing Lao Zhang's somewhat embarrassed wry smile, Shen Yan continued: "After having labor, the walls between all the buildings must be immediately strengthened and heightened, and the twelve entrances must be blocked at least eight, one in the east, west, and south directions, and the three entrances and exits must be heightened and strengthened accordingly, and at the same time, a defense line must be established on the periphery of the entrances and exits, but it is not the current bunker-like defense line, but an obstacle defense line. As for the bridge on the other side of the river, defenses were to be built at both ends, and explosives were to be planted under the bridge in case of contingencies......"

"Barrier defense?" Lao Zhang was surprised.

"Yes, the obstacle line!" Shen Yan replied: "Today's zombies act completely on instinct, they can't jump or climb. Moreover, in addition to their hunting consciousness, their awareness of action still retains the original human instinct, and when they see obstacles that cannot be crossed, they will take a detour instead of forcing it. Therefore, obstacles must be added to the outer defense line, abandoned vehicles, masonry, as long as the strong and tall obstacles can be used! ”

Hearing this, Li Mingyu's eyes finally lit up. Indeed, when he was planning the defense line, he also followed his inherent thinking, just thinking about how to block the zombies, so when building the defense line, he mostly used bunkers and wall-based blocking strategies. At this moment, when Shen Yan said this, he realized that his method was indeed very problematic, if the number of zombies was small, such a defense could still resist, but when the number of zombies reached a certain level, such a defense obviously could not resist the breakthrough of the zombies. According to Shen Yan's statement, it is simple, make the defense line into an obstacle defense line, although the zombies can travel all the way, but because of the existence of obstacles, no matter how large their number is, they are bound to be diverted, so that the defending soldiers can completely eliminate them in the process of the other party's diversion.

Shen Yan saw that Li Mingyu understood his thoughts, so he immediately picked up a pen from the table and drew two large squares on the map. The entire square directly encloses the base, even the area on the other side of the river that is equal to the base. Then he said slowly: "In fact, the most effective defense method is to build a city wall, a high and thick wall. And by the convenience of the river to the north, it would be better to dig a moat of sufficient width on the perimeter of the city walls. In this way, in the face of the zombies in the early stage, there will be a certain ability to protect themselves. If it's still possible, you can even build an underground base inside the base, and even if the zombies break through the outer defenses, the underground can be guarded! ”

Lao Zhang pointed to the other side of the river, and the piece that was painted by Shen Yan asked, "What about here?" ”

"Another base, of course!" Shen Yan said as a matter of course: "This base can be enclosed with a wall first, or planted with food, or built a solid base, as long as it is encircled, it can be used however you want!" ”

Li Mingyu was thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "What did you mean by the zombies in the early stage?" Do you say ......"

Shen Yan nodded with a wry smile and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I can be sure that the zombies at the moment are only in a low-level state. We walked all the way from the Yellow Mountain and found that the zombies are constantly changing, and it is conceivable that it will not be long before these zombies may no longer falter, and they will no longer stupidly rush to the muzzle of the gun. Therefore, the construction of the base is urgent after the crisis is resolved. By the way, there are also those animals that have disappeared for a while, rats, domestic animals, beasts, all of which must be guarded against. In times of peace, these are urgent things! ”

Shen Yan's words stunned everyone in the command, and after Li Mingyu looked at Shen Yan seriously, he finally couldn't help but take a breath: "Yes!" Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we can no longer allow the situation to develop like this! As he spoke, he seriously turned his head to look at the political commissar of the regiment and said: "Lao Zhang, from now on, the entire base will be completely under military control, except for the elderly and children, everyone must exchange labor for food, if you don't abide by the order of the base and make trouble...... Shoot on the spot! ”

"Ahh Lao Zhang opened his mouth, and finally nodded helplessly. What if you don't nod your head? The situation is pressing!

"Okay, Captain Li, I've already said what I need to say! Now let's talk about the zombie problem! Shen Yan said with a serious face: "The zombies in the south will arrive here in about five hours, since the zombies are moving slowly now, instead of waiting for the rabbits at the base, it is better to take the initiative to attack directly, and use the distance of more than 20 highways to eliminate them directly on the road!" There are also more than 100,000 zombies in the east, and it is completely possible to dispatch a company to use mobile power to attract the attention of zombies, divert them or even divert them, and buy time for the battle in the south! Then there is food, and now it is completely possible to start collecting it! ”

"But in this way, I'm afraid there will be not enough manpower in the base!" The political commissar of the regiment seemed to be Li Mingyu's interrogation microphone, and every question was asked by him, while Li Mingyu was staring at Shen Yan, waiting for the latter's answer.

"Veteran units can be sent for the fighting in the south, and mixed units of veterans and recruits can be used in the east and in the part that collects the grain. Recruits ......" While speaking, Shen Yan smiled and said: "It's still the same as before, if you have seen blood, you have killed zombies and you are a veteran, and you will always lie in the base, and you will always be a recruit!" ”

In the entire Yangyuan Town base, it was Li Mingyu who finally made the decision, and after hearing Shen Yan's words, he just pondered for a moment and immediately decided: "Okay, now without further ado." Lao Zhang, you speed up the recruitment of new soldiers, within an hour, I will see at least 3,000 recruits and the same number of laborers, even if it is caught, I will be arrested! Shen Yan, your side will immediately set out to go to Yangji Town, and the manpower is still the company of the guards! Be sure to bring me a batch of grain from Yangji Town within three hours, and then lead the troops to intervene in the battle in the south! ”

"Damn, you treat Lao Tzu as a donkey!" Shen Yan scolded in his heart, but he responded loudly with a "yes" in his mouth and entered his role.

Shen Yan has already given his opinion on the idea of base defense construction, and he doesn't have to worry about how to build it. Shen Yan believes that they have not thought about Li Mingyu when they say it, but they just can't take care of it under the urgency of the situation. And now, with a clear idea, it is possible to start implementing it in an orderly manner.

In the arsenal, when Shen Yan and Guan Feng arrived, the guards were already waiting here with his company. The entire company now has a full 160 men and four platoons. With the exception of the first, second, and third platoons, the four platoons were all recruits who had just been selected from among the survivors.

"How much grain is there in the grain depot in Yangji Town?" Shen Yan asked straight to the point.

After a moment of silence, the guard replied: "There are three whole grain depots, one is full, and the other two have about two-thirds of the grain, almost six thousand tons!" ”

"Six thousand tons! Obediently, quite a few! The base of more than 30,000 people in Yangyuan Town can be eaten for almost a year if you save it! Shen Yan took a breath and said, "Without further ado, mobilize twenty trucks, and ask Political Commissar Zhang for a company of recruits, and we will transport grain!" ”

Wei Jun opened his mouth, but seeing that Shen Yan didn't seem to be joking, he finally turned to leave. Guan Feng, who was beside him, raised his eyebrows and teased: "I said a little metamorphosis, do you have too much appetite!" ”

"A 20-ton truck is only 400 tons per trip, I'm too slow!" Shen Yan pursed his lips, "Although we promised Li Mingyu, we can't delay here for too long, what is the situation on Lao Luo's side?" ”

"I'm too lazy to care about you!" Guan Feng turned his head and ignored it.

"Hehe, I said captain, do we have a plan, how to lure away the zombies in Yangji Town when the time comes!" Shen Yan said with a smile.

"Fuck off! Lao Tzu is going to move grain, and he has no time to tease those stinky guys, so he wants to go to you! Guan Fengli ignored it and went directly into the arsenal!
