Chapter 24: Summing Up Experience, the Expeditionary Force Must Act (1)

"Everyone did a good job today," Commander Liu greeted everyone at the entrance of Queen Mary Hospital, "Let's all go and take a good rest." ”

The rainwater stored on the roofs of each building was diverted, and after being heated slightly, several sheds were built in the yard for the training ground, and the soldiers who came back took a shower in turn.

The area to be recovered by the 2,3 companies did not have a large-scale open area, there was no vacuum zone for cars, there were only a few scratched ones, which were relatively smooth.

The 2nd Company advanced along the urban railway of Line 13 to the second ring road, and blocked the small street bridge, saving more than 500 people, mainly because there were many small shops on both sides.

The 3rd Company blocked the junction of Hepingli North Street and Hepingli Middle Street today, cleaned up the zombies on the west side of Hepingli North Street, and recovered 171 Middle School by the way, and rescued more than 300 people, most of whom were students hiding in the classroom, and they were the most hungry, they ate books for a few days and drank ink for a few days, and the survivors of these days were the first time they were so miserable, but there must be more and more in the future, and the 3rd Company was equipped with two crossbows, and it felt very good, but the accuracy was not good, no way, There is a lack of training experience in this area.

After dinner, Commander Liu arranged for each squad and platoon to conduct a post-battle summary, and arranged to discuss combat methods in the face of large groups of zombies and open areas.

"Zhuge Lianghui," Commander Liu explained, "the fine tradition of our army, relying on this, has done Hanyang with a big sword and shuttle dart - of course, I was not born at that time, hehe, but we have done the 38 big cover with a big sword and spear, Chiang Kai-shek with American equipment with a millet rifle, and American devils with fried noodles." ”

In the evening, the Armed Forces Department held a meeting of leading cadres of battalions and companies to sum up experience.

"In the case of obstacles, the zombies are easy to remove," Li Qiang spoke first, "We can use various obstacles to divide the zombies, and the zombies can't form a momentum, and the basement doesn't matter, as soon as the train is pushed, the sight problem is solved, and the whole body shield is erected to gain a firm foothold, and the key is the situation of a large group of zombies in the field." ”

"Rifles and grenades don't have much effect," the 1st company commander spoke, "it must be a weapon that can cover a large area, it can't be interrupted, zombies are not afraid of life and death, there is no concept of injury and fear, and if they can't be knocked down one after another, we will be in trouble." ”

"The artificial method of creating obstacles has some effect," Li Fengyi said, "but time and the environment are very important. The newly rescued people must quickly form combat effectiveness, fortunately, they have passed the period of fear of zombies, and cold weapons are easy to train, so we have to set up a training platoon or a teaching company to complete the formation as soon as possible. Today's hanging of banners is a good practice to give confidence to the survivors. ”

Today, everyone went out of the expedition, and after leaving the courtyard gate with the military flag, they all put it back, and they felt inconvenient.

"Old experience," Commander Liu was very proud, "people are most afraid of having no hope, and it is easy to overcome difficulties if they have hope," he further said, "We must do a good job of compensating for the scorching sun who died today, and if there are surviving family members, the special committee must take care of them, bury them, and hold a farewell ceremony." ”

Li Fengyi glanced at everyone very attentively, and everyone nodded in agreement, before relieving their hearts, the team he led was killed today.

"Fortunately, the zombies have not formed their own organization and dispatch system," the commander of the 1st company palpitated, "If they also pay attention to the art of war, the human race will be really in trouble." ”

At the moment, it was decided to set up a teaching company, and the teaching platoon organized by Li Fengyi in the early stage was very successful, so Li Fengyi concurrently served as the commander of the teaching company, and Li Fengyi noticed the 1st squad leader who was ordered in danger, so he appointed him as the platoon commander.

"Shall we issue a medal or something?" Li Fengyi wanted to go further, after all, everyone was frightened at that time, the squad leader was able to complete the task and performed very well, after training for so long, Yang Ziqian also broke the trigger with one hand, and he didn't dare to throw it with a grenade.

"You can give a medal appropriately, after all, it's the first battle," Commander Liu agreed, Li Qiang felt that if he issued a medal every day, the medal would not fly all over the sky, but he didn't say anything, after all, the first day was very critical, indicating that they had begun to fight back in an organized manner.

In the end, it was decided that all those who participated in the first battle will each be issued a commemorative medal, "Commemoration of the First Counterattack Operation 2015-6-11". After the two martyrs were cremated, they were first placed in the office of the Armed Forces Department of Queen Mary Hospital, and then the martyrs' cemetery was built when conditions permitted. ,

The 1st squad leader took one, the "Medal for Bravery", and recorded a third-class meritorious service.

Standing on the rostrum of the drill ground, Minister Liu said this, "The first time there was a meritorious hero, don't be discouraged, so many zombies, are you still worried that there is no credit to receive?" ”

also sent 1 bottle of five-star two-pot head to the 1 squad leader, and 2 canned beef, and everyone's eyes were hot now. Since the end of the world, the people of the Special Committee have not been hungry, but these meat products are definitely becoming less and less, so the control is relatively strict, and only one piece of meat can be eaten every day, which is still available to combatants, and even if it is a working meal, according to the plan that has been made, it can only be once a week, and as for non-working meals, there are none. Because I was worried about getting more worried after drinking. The drunken troubles were all canceled by Ma Huaibo, and spirits can be disinfected alcohol, and there is no more.

The 1st squad leader received the letter of appointment, "Comrade Duan Tie is hereby appointed as the platoon commander of the 1st platoon of the teaching company of the 1st Battalion of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, hoping to continue to fight hard in his new post and strive for the elimination of zombies by mankind." ”

Li Fengyi did not appoint a deputy company commander, he first ordered Duan Tie to build the 1st platoon, and then from the 1st battalion to transfer some former soldiers and good performance in this operation, to form the 2nd platoon, 3rd platoon, excellent experience to be further passed on, he said to Duan Tie seriously, "It's just a lack of weapons in hand, if you don't arm yourself ideologically, it is tantamount to letting the soldiers die." ”

Commander Liu, who was on the side, nodded, and thought to himself, "The young man has a head." ”

As a result of the reorganization of the army that day, according to the structure of the first battalion, the provisional second battalion was formed.

"According to this method, it is conservative to estimate that it is quite good to set up a battalion every day." Li Qiang is very optimistic, but Li Fengyi is not optimistic, Beijing has an open terrain and dense population, and there may be some complicated situations.

"That large residential building is good, with a concrete frame structure, and there is no use of new building materials," Sun Xiaoshan took the construction engineer there to feel the terrain and look around several buildings, "but the traffic is not very convenient, we had better find a building at a transportation hub intersection in the third ring road to facilitate transportation." So they decided to look for a suitable building.

The 2nd Provisional Battalion completed the formation that night, but did not go out the next day, and they still had to train for another day, and no matter how much training time they had, there was no more.

The industrial team frantically demolished the water pipes and security doors in the building again, and this time a freshly rescued plumber told them that this was not a steel pipe, but a galvanized cast iron pipe, but no one paid attention to him, and the name didn't sound very imposing.

The Ministry of Industry also arranged for people to dismantle bicycle handlebars, unload bicycle brake wire ropes, saw steel guardrails, and make bows and crossbows.

The content of the second day of the temporary formation of the first battalion is to clean up the zombies in the area isolated yesterday, rescue the survivors, and push the line to Hepingli Middle Street.

As usual, the survivors in the family home are in better condition, and the survivors in the office area are much worse.

"In this way, the survivors in the future will have to rest for at least a period of time before they can be put to use," Li Fengyi did not lead the team on the expedition today, he was responsible for the work of the teaching company, and was responsible for training the training of the second battalion of the provisional formation, "and then it will be necessary to rest for 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, and 5 days." "He's sullen, and then the pressure on materials will be much greater, but it's useless to be in a hurry about this matter.

He asked Duan Tie to take the 1st platoon and 2nd platoon of the teaching company to carry out the overall training of the provisional second battalion, and he took the 3rd platoon to try to explore the field tactics of the zombie group.

In the Hepingli Street Park that has been cleaned up, the 3rd platoon and 7th squad play the army, the 8th squad and the 9th squad play the zombies, and the steel pipes are all replaced with Monday bench legs wrapped in thick clothes, which are covered with muddy water, and the exercise rules stipulate that as long as the muddy water hits the head, the zombie will be killed, and as long as the zombie's mouth appears anywhere on the army's body, it will be considered dead.

The first time, Class 7 was defeated, they were scattered by Class 8 and Class 9 running at full speed once, and then they were killed, and less than 10 people in Class 8 and Class 9 were killed.

The second time, the 7th squad improved the full-body shield and made a bracket to replace the fighters to withstand the first wave of impact, this time the effect was much better, but when the fighters who were stained in the mud and water were asked to lie on the ground to make stepping stones, the balance was broken, and soon after padding a few people, the 8th and 9th squads rushed in, and this time there were 15,,6 people killed.

Li Fengyi knew that this was still Class 8, and Class 9 played the reason for hesitation when the dead body lay on the ground, and no one wanted to be trampled on by so many people. ,

It failed again, and everyone squatted in Hepingli Street Park, very depressed.

How about guns? Li Fengyi flashed this thought, but it is not good to shoot with live ammunition with a gun, it will attract a large group of zombies, but he can deduce, he remembers that there seems to be research, the effect of bullets is getting worse and worse on the actual battlefield, and tens of thousands of rounds can kill a person?

"Staff officer, what is the lethal effect of bullets in actual combat? I remember it was like a war going down and it would take thousands of bullets to kill one? Li Fengyi asked a professional soldier Yu Staff Officer.

"The Iraq War killed one person per 300,000 bullets, but the example of the US military is not for reference, our army basically eliminated an enemy in World War II with about 30 rounds, and there were a large number of grenades, mines, and a small number of artillery to destroy," Staff Officer Yu is very familiar with this, "I think the proportion of zombies will be higher, because after all, zombies will not do tactical actions to dodge, but most of the current weapons are also fully automatic weapons, and they often don't know where to fly when a shuttle bullet is shot." ”

"Even if it's flat, we don't have many people who have shot guns, and most of them haven't touched a gun," Li Fengyi thought that the gun ban policy really has advantages and disadvantages, "We don't have mines, cannons, count 60 rounds to eliminate a zombie, after all, zombies can't die without hitting the head, and humans, hearts, abdomen, and arteries are almost fatal." ”

At present, the gun is only 300, and the bullets are less than 10,000 rounds, Li Fengyi and Staff Officer Yu both shook their heads, at least now it is not a way, nearly 100 weapons training and actual combat alone have been damaged, and the triggers have been broken, and no matter how good the training is, there will be a lot of damage in actual combat.

"In another way," Li Fengyi had a flash of inspiration, "we have a lot less in total, but every time we fight more and try less." ”

The third exercise began, the 7,8 squads guarded, the brackets withstood the shields, the 9 squads attacked, and soon the 9 squads were destroyed.

"Hehe," Li Fengyi smug, "I knew it could." ”

So the apocalyptic infantry regulations added a clause, "In the absence of absolute superiority in firepower, the zombies must be divided and the minority must be eliminated with the majority." ”

Then he practiced the method of artificially creating obstacles in the open area, for which he dug up all the stones in the park in the middle of the street in Hepingli, and practiced the effect of the trench and earthen wall on the mud floor, and everyone was quite satisfied, of course, this time it was not the humans who were hiding in the trenches, but watching the warriors who played the zombies fall into it one by one behind the trenches.

"These methods are all used against zombies that do not have an absolute numerical advantage," said Commander Liu after inspecting the survivor camp and seeing the results of various recorded exercises, "but fortunately, this will not happen in the city, and we can only think about it again when we are in the field." In the future, Hepingli Street Park will be used as a training ground. ”

Then use the walkie-talkie to call Li Qiang, the commander of the 1st company, and the commander of the 2nd company, and tell them that when they encounter a large group of zombies, they can call for support.

Today's battle results are good, after reinforcing 2 companies once, it was successfully passed, and a total of more than 2,300 people were rescued.

In this way, until the total number of survivors reached 10,000, half of the area from Hepingli East Street to City Railway Line 13 had been cleared, and the number of people who joined the army reached more than 8,000, and almost all of the survivors were young people, who were organized into 22 battalions, 8 regiments, and 3 divisions, Li Qiang was promoted to commander of the provisional army, Li Fengyi was promoted to political commissar of the provisional army, Wei Yong, commander of the first division, Wu Tianxiong, political commissar, Sun Feigang, commander of the second division, Tian Ming, political commissar, Huang Shunyi, commander of the third division, Jing Hetian, political commissar, and the reconnaissance company was also expanded into a reconnaissance battalionHowever, the reconnaissance battalion generally does not undertake the specific direction of operations, and is only dispersed and assigned to various units as a reinforcement force, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion appoints a former scout Ma Xiaoshuai, instructor Wei Ming, and the soldiers in the cadre retreat have no special forces and no scouts, even if they are the children of soldiers, they are not so able to endure hardships before the end of the world, but in the end of the world, everything has to start from scratch.

In a few days of combat, Commander Liu gave batches of well-behaved soldiers and survivors to join the party, so he prepared so many political commissars at all levels, and also improved the organizational life system, Li Fengyi has always believed that this kind of organization is the best to adapt to the state of emergency, and the situation will change and then adjust in the future, and the key is to survive.

A temporary military school was also set up in the last days, and a retired principal of a military academy agreed to go out with confidence after seeing that these people were not armed, and was appointed as the first principal, and the teachers under him were mainly zombie combat heroes, of course, the hot weapon also carried out basic teaching work. ,

The children have also reached more than 1,000 people, and a small elementary school, junior high school, and high school have been established, and there is no university in this area, and there is no university in this area, and the first lesson of teaching, regardless of grade, is the "Survival Handbook for the Last Days" edited by the Ministry of Medicine, which has now reached its fifth edition, and the new manual research shows:

"Human beings generally improve their physical fitness, their strength has increased by 2~3 times before the end of the world, the speed has not changed, their ability to resist diseases has increased greatly, and there are no internal diseases at present.

The zombies have returned to the physical strength of human beings before the end of the world, and the zombies have no sense of fear, no pain, and no fatigue, resulting in an impact force comparable to that of current humans.

The only lethal way is to smash the brain stem, zombies have a blind obedience effect, as long as the zombies in a certain direction increase, almost all the zombies in the range will concentrate in that direction, the specific range is unknown, the specific reason is unknown.

The animals have mutated, the temperament has not changed, the current performance is that the size of the body has increased to about 2~3 times, it is not recommended that individuals have pets, they should all be sent to the Ministry of Health, or handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs (Minister Ou is very wise did not say that it was handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to almost all killed and eaten meat, and handed over to the Ministry of Health almost all to be dissected and then eaten. )

The plants did not show variation, although growth rates appeared to be accelerating. ”

Sun Xiaoshan officially retired from the army and became the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In the cleanup, I found a radio station in the home of a radio amateur, and after listening to it for a few days, there was no news from the state-level administrative department, there was a lot of news from the various surviving bases, the situation was not very good, cannibalism began to appear in many places, various systems that could be thought of coexisted, feudalism and slavery became the mainstream, and some people in the southern region engaged in a Western system, claiming that Western friends would come to the rescue.

Li Fengyi asked people to record recordings of these bad places and broadcast them to everyone in the base, with the intention of letting everyone know that the base is currently the most secure among all bases in the country--- he noticed that many survivors were angry and complained about the current shortage of materials and the need to control everything, and it turned out that this work was very good.
