Chapter 45: The Reconquest of Tianjin (2)
In the afternoon, the section of ammunition from the logistical supply base to the position was basically normal, but the fatal thing was that the reserves were insufficient, and a long queue of vehicles was connected on the road more than 200 kilometers from the rear warehouse to the logistics supply base.
The report requesting to speed up the transportation was quickly reported to Li Fengyi, followed by Commander Liu.
Li Fengyi's face did not change, and ordered, "It must be sent to the relevant departments, immediately, as soon as possible!" "He's more comfortable using the word "department" now.
Li Fengyi's newly appointed secretary immediately went out to convey it.
When there was only Commander Liu in the room, Li Fengyi suddenly rummaged on the table in a panic, threw documents all over the table and the floor, and found an electronic calculator.
Li Fengyi put the report in front of his eyes, and hurriedly pressed the buttons while reading it.
"Damn," Li Fengyi muttered and scolded, "When Lao Tzu doesn't know how to count, right?" 120 million rounds of ammunition and 1.8 million shells to destroy 1.2 million zombies?! ”
Commander Liu didn't hear clearly, but he saw that Li Fengyi was angry and didn't speak in anger, so it was easy to be targeted as a live target.
"Crackling," Li Fengyi, who didn't pay attention to his hand strength in anger, pressed the calculator badly, threw it out, ran to the next room and searched despite everyone's strange eyes, and got back several electronic calculators.
After pressing 3 or 4 calculators again, Li Fengyi raised his voice, "100 machine gun bullets, 1 and a half shells to kill a zombie?" ”
"Huh?!" Li Fengyi was furious and scolded, "How many days have you been an official? Just fucking lied about supplies? Yes?! ”
Only then did Commander Liu know the reason for Li Fengyi's anger, he slowly picked up the calculator that had been thrown away, put it on the table, and said slowly, "This is normal. ”
"Huh?" Li Fengyi began to ponder the military relationship between Li Qiang and Commander Liu.
"You kid," Elder Liu Jun became old and scolded, "At the time of the Anti-Japanese War, well, in 1942, the commander of our village militia company said that the main force can only eliminate a devil with more than 20 bullets, so it is better to start throwing grenades after a few shots, and then go up to fight bayonets, the result of the red tassel spear." ”
"Wait a minute," Commander Liu shouted, "Guard!" ”
"Yes!" The guard Li Fengyi saw the first time he saw Commander Liu coming in through the door.
"Go to the Ministry of Armed Forces to find some information on the consumption of war arms and materials, well, it is information on the lethality and effectiveness of various weapons."
"Yes!"
Commander Liu was still holding a broken calculator in his hand, and said, "Look at you, you are still from a technical background, and you broke the calculator in a hurry, you said that the front line is desperate, will there be damaged weapons and equipment?" ”
Li Fengyi blushed...... But the anger still lingered.
After more than half an hour, the guard came back with a USB flash drive, and the special committee belongs to the first-class power supply area, and there is no power limit for 24 hours, so the computer can be used.
The Ministry of Industry has set up servers and restored the computer network, and the OA automated office system is being debugged, but except for the Special Committee, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Armed Forces, the rest of the departments are strictly limited in power and restricting the network.
Li Fengyi inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, clicked on the folder, and the guard pointed, "This, this, yes, this is the file." ”
The title of the document is "Arms Consumption and Lethality Ratio in Thermal Weapons Warfare".
It mentions, "During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the anti-Japanese armed resistance led by the Communist Party consumed less than 40 million rounds of bullets, killed and wounded 520,000 Japanese soldiers and about 500,000 puppet soldiers, and killed and injured 1 enemy with an average of 40 bullets, creating a world miracle." In World War I, it took more than 2,000 rounds to kill and wound an enemy, while in World War II, it took 5,000 rounds to kill and wound an enemy in Europe. ”
Li Fengyi's mood calmed down a little, and then looked down, "According to figures from the US General Accounting Office, from 2002 to 2005, the US military consumed about 6 billion rounds of ammunition on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. "I don't know how many wicked people we killed with bullets instead of bombs," their investigators said. If they don't count the corpses, what do we do? But based on these figures, it can be calculated that for each resistance they used about 300,000 rounds of ammunition. Let's underestimate and turn that number down to 250,000 rounds. In response to an official's claim that many of these bullets were used for training, investigators said, "What are you training for?" It is used to kill the enemy. ””,
On the one hand, Li Fengyi blushed because he was lonely and unheard, and on the other hand, he felt that Americans were too capable of quibbling.
"And so many shells?" Li Fengyi didn't let go of any suspicions, he was going to give an explanation to himself now, it was too embarrassing.
"The self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the artillery battle of Songmaoling," Commander Liu said slowly after seeing Li Fengyi's attitude improve, "It took 1.7 million shells a day to kill 4,000 Vietnamese troops, and an average of 400 shells killed one." The boys did a good job up front. ”
"That's a mountain, it's flat here, and it's still zombies who don't know how to dodge." Li Fengyi insisted on his opinion.
"Artillery group combat, there must be a lot of shells to hit together, there is no way to avoid this, besides," Commander Liu slowed down his voice and said, "Zombies don't know how to hide, and there is no concealment on the flat ground, but zombies don't necessarily squeeze into a lump of flesh and be blown up, is it also a kind of creature, and has strong activity ability, I don't know what to do." ”
Commander Liu said for unknown reasons, "Except for the zombies being hit in the head, it doesn't matter if they fall anywhere, they don't bleed too much and die." A 155 mm shell, if you hit someone, 30x50 meters, a total of 1500 square meters, don't expect to have a living, but zombies, you have also seen the front-line report, only 15 square meters to ensure that there is no alive. ”
"If you want me to say, in such a short period of time, they have put so many weapons and equipment and ammunition so densely arranged, and they can still work well, which should be commended. You calculate the intensity, there is no such precedent in the world," Commander Liu was very excited and began to preach the theory of the invincibility of the PLA under the leadership of the party.
The two leaders of the Special Committee who remained behind decided to issue commendation orders to the front line, and at the same time divided the work in various departments in the rear to supervise the work and ensure the supply of materials and munitions to the front line.
They have stopped all non-military related work in the rear, implemented traffic control on all highways, even a small alley, and transferred all vehicles to transportation and production lines, and even mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to line up along the highway from strategic warehouses in mountainous areas to form a human flesh conveyor belt to transport weapons, equipment, and ammunition from person to person, hand to hand.
Being able to get closer to the front line is to shorten the transportation distance by one meter.
Of course, Li Fengyi later used his own channels to find some more information to confirm these figures, and he comforted himself, "It's not that I suspect that brothers who were born and died together, but it is true that the moral standards of sitting in this position cannot be the same as those of ordinary people...... It's not about how many steamed buns you have and how many bowls of rice he has. ”
Throughout the afternoon, machine guns and cannons that had reached the end of their body barrels were replaced, and the density of artillery fire and machine guns was significantly reduced, and the sparse zombie herd moved forward at a significantly faster speed, and soon advanced to the bank of the Ziya River.
The sparse zombies are running fast, constantly being knocked down by bullets and shells,
The zombies who ran to the river tried to stop, they still had a basic fear of the current, but the zombies in the back team squeezed them into the river with the hope of fresh flesh.
At first, the zombies that fell into the river could wave their arms in protest, indicating that their consciousness was not so high and they were not willing to fill the river, but the dense crowd of corpses behind them quickly pressed them to the bottom of the river, and then filled in the area, and the zombies began to pour in into the river.
Half an hour had passed, and to see that the river was about to be filled, Li Qiang ordered the fighters armed with automatic rifles in the armored vehicles to join in the fire.
In the dense gunfire, the three zombie walls were rapidly formed, and the zombies continued to pour up the zombie wall, and then rolled down and were knocked to the ground again, and the height and width of the zombie wall were also increasing rapidly.
The cannon fired again......
By 17:00 in the afternoon, the personnel had been rotated to the third shift, and the soldiers who had withdrawn were lying on the ground in the camp next to the position, especially the artillery bombers, although each gun was equipped with 3 times the bombardier, no matter how many people could not move, and they were often rotated, they were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and many of them were memorized.
Dozens of kilograms of artillery shells are carried nearly 200 rounds an hour, and there is a distance of 50 meters from the place where the shells are stacked to the ammunition supply port, and an hour is a round-trip 10 kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country.
After clearing the zombies in the middle several times, the crawler forklift drove to the north bank of the Ziya River, shoveling the dense zombie corpses to the side of the heavy truck, and the zombies who were not dead continued to struggle, and were also buried under the pile of zombie corpses that fell with their heads and faces, and quickly pulled to the rear to clear the shooting boundary. ,
The zombies rushed over again, this time the formation was more sparse, and the corresponding Li Qiang ordered not to fire all to save ammunition, and then the zombies somehow increased the density, so they had to order all to fire again, and so on.
On the road between the front-line logistics base and the artillery position, the road here is two-way six-lane, of which the south side is used as a position, and one of the north lanes is used as a loading and unloading site and a munitions material accumulation site, and the other two are one in and one out.
Although there were bumps and bumps in the day's tense operation, there was no big basket in the end.
Just when the gendarme in charge of traffic control breathed a sigh of relief, the stevedore on the top of a heavy truck was standing tall and looking far away, and he saw that the zombies had rushed to the roof of the armored car, and cried loudly, "Mom, the zombies have rushed in, and the zombies are going to eat me!" ”
In order to avoid him, several cars in front and behind rushed into the loading and unloading yard next to him, and a few shells that had just been loaded with fuses were moved out of the ammunition pile, and they were blown up with a "boom"!
The crowd was immediately chaotic, surrounded by dense munitions, and the chain reaction would kill everyone in this area!
A series of explosions came from the rear, emptying a 200-meter-long and 70-meter-wide artillery position, and some of the barrels were blown up and fell to the ground again, but due to their position, they did not hit other positions.
When the Tianxing General Staff set up their positions, they were divided into pieces in consideration of possible explosion accidents, and each block was isolated by sandbags up to 30 meters thick and 10 meters high, so that it did not cause a large explosion in the whole position.
There were no survivors in this area, none of the bodies of the victims remained, and no fragments of weapons and equipment made of steel exceeded 10 centimeters.
The bunker wall of the sandbag pile in the adjacent area was blown up, leaving the sand and soil behind, causing a big uproar in other areas, and some people were frightened and ran around.
Li Qiang held the binoculars, chewed his muscles tightly, and ordered, "Order the gendarmes to execute those who run around on the spot!" Whoever caused the accident will be summarily executed! ”
The staff officers picked up the walkie-talkie to give the order, and a flurry of gunfire rang out, the riot subsided, and the bodies were thrown against the high sandbag wall.
Transport troops rushed to repair the damaged section of the road, restore traffic, and transport new artillery ammunition into the city.
Several gendarmes pressed a person over, and Li Qiang looked at them coldly.
"Report to the chief!" The gendarmes saluted, looked at the head of the army group, who was a few years younger than them, and reported, "The confusion caused by this man, he ran behind the sandy wall of the next position, and was not killed, and the people in that position pointed out that it was he who first ran around and caused the big explosion." ”
"Didn't you hear my orders?" Li Qiang looked at him fiercely, opened the pistol holster, took out the QSG92 pistol, and loaded it.
"Chief," the gendarme explained, swallowing nervously, "this man says he's your old subordinate......"
"Bang......" Li Qiang didn't wait for him to finish, and shot the gendarme in the head at the report, and the gendarme fell down like a heavy noodle pocket.
Li Qiang shouted angrily, "He is my son, and I have to kill him today!" Put this scum back where he was and shoot him on the spot! ”
Military orders are like a mountain, and it is Li Qiang's right to shoot the gendarmes, and in order to ensure that the orders are uploaded and issued smoothly, he must also be shot on the spot.
"Yes!" The rest of the gendarmes did not dare to raise their heads, and pressed the perpetrator who caused the chaos to go back and carry out the execution.
The perpetrator hissed and cried, "Company Commander Li, Battalion Commander Li, Commander Li, you are my father, I am Jiang Jiangqian, and I am the Jiang Jiangqian who came out with you in Courtyard A No. 5!" One of my younger brothers was killed by Mr. Li, and I also have a younger brother whose life and death are unknown, if you kill me again, our Jiang family will be doomed! My father, my father, spare my dog's life! Ahhh......h
He struggled, trying to break free from the gendarmes, who grabbed him by the arm with hatred, twisted and dislocated him with all his might, and dragged him over like a dead dog.
"Bang......" A gunshot loomed over the rumbling cannon, followed by "bang, bang" several gunshots.
It turned out that the gendarmes who enforced the law hated Jiang Jiangqian for killing so many people, and in the end they killed one of their brothers, and did not shoot him, but first broke his limbs, then hit his stomach, and used up several shuttle bullets, and finally watched Jiang Jiangqian die of pain before shooting him in the head to prevent him from becoming a zombie and continuing to harm people.
The chaos caused by the explosion weakened the firepower for a while, the zombie hordes were getting closer, the ammunition was gradually unable to keep up, and it was slowly getting dark.
The zombie skirmish line tactics are very effective, only 700,000 zombies were eliminated in the afternoon, the ammunition consumption was 100 million bullets, and 1.2 million shells were shells, mainly due to the reduction of the consumption of ammunition firing speed and supply speed.
In a day's battle, 2.5 million zombies were eliminated, and the main force of zombies has not yet been put into the battlefield, and the next will be a night battle.
