Chapter 141: Marching into Shanghai
The pilots and technicians sent to Zhangshu Military Airport arrived in Zhangshu soon after, they were fully prepared, and after Song Hui transported back more than 200 tons of aviation fuel from Changbei Airport, the key step in Xie Tian's plan was to be implemented, these days, Xie Tian transported back nearly 200 tons of materials from Zhangshu, Song Hui almost looted the entire Fengcheng area, and prepared as many as 30 tons of vegetable and meat materials for Xie Tian, which was also Xie Tian's last batch of materials, once the bombing began, the entire Zhangshu aviation fuel will be exhausted, It is very difficult to return to Beijing by air.
Xie Tian once again followed the Il-76 transport plane to Zhangshu, and after arriving, he immediately gathered all the pilots and technicians, and said: "This time the task is very large, all the airport runways south of the Yangtze River must be destroyed, even including Tibetan Province, all the airport information, I believe you have been familiar with it when you came, let's divide the labor, before dark today, to ensure that the task is completed." ”
A pilot with the rank of colonel asked: "To what extent does the airfield need to be destroyed?" ”
"Make sure that any plane taxiing off can't complete the landing." ”
The pilot is very clear about this concept, everyone nodded immediately, after the technician's inspection and preparation, the Su-27 fighter at the airport can be used normally there are nearly 20 aircraft, but the combat radius of the Su27 is 1500 kilometers, even after the maximum weight reduction of the aircraft, the radius has only risen to 1700 kilometers, and the southwest region can only use air tankers to ensure the smooth return of the fighters after the bombing is completed.
Camphor only has more than 200 tons of aviation fuel, SU27 a maximum round trip, will consume nearly ten tons of fuel, the radius is over, but also need the only one tanker tailgating support, after the largest optimization calculation, fuel can barely be used.
Ten fighter planes took off in Zhangshu order, followed by tankers to the west and southwest, and when it was nearly dark, there was only one remaining airfield south of the Yangtze River.
However, other airports have only done some damage to the runway, and have not given a blow to the damage, if necessary, the runway of any airport can be repaired and put into use in a short time.
The officers who have newly entered Zhao Danian's army have successfully replaced the core personnel of the army, although the current army is somewhat scattered in the hearts of the army, but the dispersion also makes them easier to control, thank God let the new commander drive two tanks and two infantry combat vehicles to Zhangshu, these four vehicles, can completely block the Zhangshu airport, any plane wants to land, it is inevitable that the plane will be destroyed and killed.
Song Hui saw Xie Tian's series of actions after coming to Zhangshu, and faintly guessed the purpose of Xie Tian's move, although Xie Tian was ostensibly directing the action to carry out the orders of Chairman Han and Commander Qin, but Song Hui knew that this matter was Xie Tian's idea, and he had known Xie Tian for a long time.
"I'm going back to Yanjing this time, and I won't be back anytime soon." Xie Tian found Song Hui and said privately: "Now the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has been dredged to Tai'an, it is estimated that it can be advanced to Tengzhou or Zaozhuang today, if you are lucky, you may be able to Anhui Province, it is getting closer and closer to Shanghai, you also have to let Lao Cheng continue to find a way to open up the railway line from here to Shanghai, once the two railway lines are connected in Shanghai, then our advantage will become great." ”
Song Hui nodded and said, "I will try my best to cooperate with Lao Cheng's work here, and in addition, the materials will also be actively prepared for you, once this railway is opened, it will be ensured that the materials can be transported to Yanjing in a steady stream." ”
Xie Tian opened his mouth and asked, "According to your estimates, how much material can be in this area of Fengcheng?" ”
"More than 100,000 tons." Song Hui said without hesitation: "And it is a conservative estimate, after all, there are millions of permanent residents in this area, and the grain reserves of millions of people are impossible, and it is impossible to have less than 100,000 tons. ”
Xie Tian sighed and said, "There is so much grain, but it can't be transported back to Yanjing, so it seems that we can only wait for the railway to be dredged." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Xie Tian returned to Yanjing with 30 tons of food, the railway dredging work has been dredged to Suzhou City, Anhui Province yesterday, the dredging work is going very smoothly, through the general situation shown by the aerial photograph, it is not a problem to dredge the railway to Nanjing within three days, in order to ensure the safety along the railway, the consultant suggested sending a large number of construction workers to the railway stations along the way to implement a complete closure, that is, the railway station that is directly in contact with the land, in the mode of a tunnel to close, as for the materials, For the sake of speed and safety, and not to affect the smooth flow of the railway, Xie Tian decided to remove all the roofs of Yanjing's railway stations for recycling.
On the one hand, thousands of laborers are in the crane and transport vehicles with the cooperation of crane trucks and transport vehicles, and on the other hand, a large number of welders are concentrated, and on the edge of the south station, the steel is remade with a large cutting machine, and the roof after the production is completed, the train is pulled to the stations, and it can be built in the fastest time and play a role.
The dredging work has been carried out for two weeks, and the entire Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has finally been successfully opened to traffic, and the train can arrive safely at Shanghai Hongqiao Station without slowing down after leaving Yanjing, and the number of zombies in Shanghai at the moment has been greatly reduced, and it is a material base to be developed.
At this moment, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has been able to transport a large number of heavy military vehicles and personnel to Shanghai smoothly, Xie Tian began to play the idea of Shanghai, although there are still a lot of zombie activities in Shanghai, but compared with the previous has been much less, on the day of the railway dredging, he immediately controlled Patton to find Chairman Han, want to borrow 5,000 soldiers from him, has enough armored vehicles.
Chairman Han asked with some surprise, "What do you want so many soldiers and vehicles for?" If the action is too big, the rest of the establishment will definitely pay close attention. ”
Xie Tian said: "The railway to Shanghai has been dredged, I want to bring some soldiers over, try to grab some resources to come back, and by the way, also see what the situation in Shanghai is." ”
Chairman Han happily asked, "Has it been dredged?" Arriving in Shanghai? ”
"Yes." Xie Tian nodded and said, "Dredging to Hongqiao Railway Station, the fastest diesel locomotive at present, can arrive in Shanghai from Yanjing in ten hours." ”
"Okay." Chairman Han said: "Now that the supplies in Yanjing are extremely scarce, if the supplies from Shanghai can be transported back, then the situation will be much clearer." ”
Xie Tian said with a smile: "Why don't you deploy personnel and equipment as soon as possible, let them gather at the South Railway Station at eight o'clock tonight, I asked my subordinates to hurry up and prepare the vehicles, if the train departs before ten o'clock tonight, they can arrive in Shanghai tomorrow morning." ”
"No problem." Chairman Han said excitedly: "If there are a large number of supplies in Shanghai, then I will immediately withdraw to Nanyuan Airport and guard the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. ”
"So be it." Chairman Han pondered for a moment and said, "I will give you 5,000 men, as well as 50 armored vehicles and 50 military transport vehicles, and strive to have an unexpected harvest this time!" ”
Xie Tian also knew in his heart that the news of the dredging of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway could not be concealed for a long time, and Shanghai was not bombed because the Provisional Military Commission was too pitiful at the beginning.
After Patton finished talking with Chairman Han, Xie Tian immediately called the railway consultant and instructed: "You immediately send someone to prepare two train bottoms, one train with two special soft sleepers, the other full flat trains, and the other full row boxcars, each car is reconnected with two diesel locomotives, fully loaded with fuel to ensure that there will be no problems." ”
The advisor was surprised and asked, "What are you doing here?" Such a big battle. ”
Xie Tian said lightly: "Go to Shanghai." ”
The consultant was stunned for a moment, and then asked happily: "As soon as the railway is dredged, you have to make a move, I'll arrange it immediately!" ”
Fortunately, Yanjing's railway resources are very abundant, in a short period of time, the two trains were prepared according to Xie Tian's requirements, at eight o'clock that night, a large number of troops and armored vehicles arrived, the first thing was to load all the vehicles on the flat car, most of the personnel, also directly took the vehicles when they came, and the remaining personnel, all entered another boxcar, the whole process of waiting for the car took nearly two hours, after everything was ready, Xie Tian took the awakened people around him to board the special soft sleeper in the first train, In addition to this section of the train, the remaining 100 flat cars are all military vehicles, which are the core part of combat effectiveness, and these people and vehicles will clean up the zombies near the Hongqiao Railway Station, so that the follow-up personnel can arrive directly, search for materials and load the train.
Including Xie Tian, everyone is doing a special class train for the first time, or they have all arrived in Tianjin, Xie Xiaofei is still looking at this carriage, and said: "It's really too luxurious, I really didn't expect there to be such a luxurious vehicle on the railway." ”
The special transport soft sleeper is indeed very luxurious, in which each train is divided into two rooms, the room has a comfortable bed and a variety of furniture and electrical appliances, it is simply a mobile five-star hotel, if it is usual, this kind of car after the top officials of the Ministry of Railways are eligible to ride, and most of the time, it is specially assigned to the use of national leaders, and the conditions in all aspects are naturally very good.
Xie Tian smiled and said to a few people: "This time to Shanghai is not a tourist, although the number of zombies in Shanghai has been reduced by half, but it does not mean that there is no danger, and this time we have to collect as many materials as possible to go back, the area that needs to be explored and cleared is very large, after arriving in Shanghai tomorrow morning, everyone must obey my orders, do not act without permission." ”
Du Yuewei asked: "Hongqiao Railway Station, should it be a transportation hub, right?" Hongqiao Airport is also nearby, and we can find plenty of jet fuel there. ”
"Although aviation fuel is extremely scarce, there are no missions for the time being, so it is not a priority." Xie Tian said: "At present, the most lacking thing is food supplies, and only with a large amount of food can we ensure the stability of Yanjing. ”
Zhao Ziye said: "I don't think it's a long-term solution to keep looking for aviation fuel, and Hongqiao Airport will not have too much fuel reserves, but if we can resume production, we can find a way to transport oil from the port to Tanggu Port, and then transport it back to Yanjing for processing and production, I think there should be large oil tankers in the port of Shanghai, including those container terminals, and there must be a lot of available materials." ”
Xie Tian nodded and said, "This is a good idea, it is necessary to resume production, otherwise it will be difficult to support it for too long if it is consumed alone." ”
Xie Xiaofei was a little surprised and asked, "Brother Xie, since there are not many zombies in Shanghai, why don't you just move the capital to Shanghai?" We have now dredged the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, and we can transport at least hundreds of thousands of people to Shanghai every day with full capacity 24 hours a day, or it won't be long before all the people in Yanjing can be brought to Shanghai. ”
"Yes, yes." Xie Tian smiled indifferently and said: "It's just that the current form of Yanjing is not as simple as you seem, those in power and Chairman Han are not single-minded, do not solve this big problem, even if they move to the south as a whole, they cannot carry out reconstruction wholeheartedly, only after their power is disintegrated, can they rest assured that the bold whole move to the south, and then break the Yangtze River bridge and develop in the south again." ”
Xie Xiaofei nodded lightly, he didn't know about the struggle for power, and it was difficult for him to understand.
After chatting until late at night, they went back to their rooms to rest, and the next morning, the train began to slow down and had entered Hongqiao Station.
Because the height of the flat car is lower than the platform of the station, so the train slowly stops after the platform, and then, the vehicle uses its own steel plate, all drive to the ground, Hongqiao Station has an exit for large vehicles to enter, and a car behind the car departs three hours late, and in these three hours, fifty armored vehicles must clear all threats within a radius of ten kilometers nearby, to ensure that after the arrival of the personnel behind, they can immediately start the search and handling of materials.
Xie Tian and Zhao Ziye and others sat in a tracked infantry chariot, followed the armored troops from the exit to rush out of Hongqiao Station, directly to the road outside the station, the number of zombies at this moment is still a lot, and they are all attracted by armored vehicles, but for the armored car group, these zombies are not painful at all, all the way, they will kill all the way.
Xie Tian sat in the infantry chariot, seeing that the situation outside was so relaxed, he was also slightly relieved in his heart, his goal was not big, as long as these five thousand soldiers could ensure the safety of the area with the station as the center and a radius of five kilometers, the amount of materials in it was probably already very amazing.
Xie Tian opened his mouth and said to Zhao Ziye: "Ziye, your sensing distance can cover the entire Fengcheng Power Plant, I think there is at least a range of twenty square kilometers, you can perceive the zombies nearby, where the zombies are relatively concentrated." ”
Zhao Ziye nodded, then closed his eyes, carefully felt the surrounding situation, and said: "There are quite a few zombies, but they are relatively scattered, most of them are concentrated in the north, and now they are moving towards us, and there seem to be hundreds of them in the airport." ”
"That's not right." Zhao Ziye suddenly said: "The people in the airport are not zombies, they are people!" ”
"People?" Xie Tian was surprised and asked, "Hundreds?" How can so many people be stranded at the airport? ”
"It's people." Zhao Ziye nodded and said, "I just concentrated on perceiving it, many of those people are armed personnel, and the rest are transporting aviation fuel. ”
"Transporting jet fuel?" Xie Tian was stunned, thinking to himself, if it was an ordinary survivor, he would never venture here to find aviation fuel, could it be Song Hui and them, who had already entered Shanghai? But it's impossible, after all, it's impossible for Song Hui not to report to himself about such a big matter.
"Who could it be?" Xie Tian was puzzled in his heart and said, "They must have also heard the movement of the armored convoy, isn't there any movement?" ”
"There it is." Zhao Ziye blurted out in surprise: "It's me, they're talking." ”
"What are you talking about?" Xie Tian hurriedly asked.
"I speak so-so." Zhao Ziye said: "Wait a minute, I'll think about it." ”
"It should be said that the [***] team is coming, stop all activities first and hide it." Zhao Ziye said: "That's probably what it means. ”
Xie Tian's brows furrowed even tighter, saying himself? Didn't Zhang Long say a few days ago that he was now cowering in Hokkaido, fighting zombies while asking for help from the world? How do you have the time to come to Shanghai to get jet fuel now?
"What are they doing now? What weapons and equipment are available? Xie Tian hurriedly asked.
"There are four armored vehicles." Zhao Ziye said: "The armored car has moved and is slowly driving into the hangar, and everyone else has also entered the hangar and closed the hangar door. ”
"Damn, treat our land as a backyard for supplies!" Xie Tian hurriedly ordered all the armored vehicles to scatter to form an encirclement of the airport, and then rushed into the interior of the airport and surrounded all the other parties.
The armored convoy didn't know why Xie Tian wanted to surround the airport, but they would not be the slightest bit lazy about the execution of the order, and then, the armored car immediately headed towards the nearby Hongqiao Airport, along the way, Zhao Ziye was perceiving the movements of those who said that they were hiding in the hangar in fear at the moment, communicating in a low voice, the general meaning was nothing more than to be cautious, and wait for the [***] team to leave before making the next move.
However, as the roar of the armored vehicles outside got closer and closer, the faces of these people turned pale one by one.
