Chapter 61: Li Qiang's Expedition Caofeidian (1)
The "Anti-Corruption Law," which was issued by the NPC on the basis of the Cangzhou survivors, is equivalent to punishing treason and robbery, has aroused strong repercussions, and even within the Special Committee, controversy has continued, with many people with a long-term vision believing that it is not conducive to stabilizing the situation in the country as soon as possible, and the grassroots people, out of resentment for many years, believe that it is not harsh enough.
If the leaders of the survivor bases announced by the special committee are unwilling to take office, they can choose to join the people's congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, so that many survivor bases will take the initiative to contact them and be willing to move closer to them.
After the release of the Anti-Corruption Law, the direction of the wind has also quietly changed a lot.
Although it is certain that almost all the grassroots people will cheer for this law, after all, the right to speak and wireless equipment in each survivor area are still controlled by those in power, and a considerable part of them are controlled by officials before the end of the world.
"Hmph, a group of ordinary people," a middle-aged man with a white face and a fat body said disdainfully in the spacious and bright office, "childish! ”
Although the office was luxuriously renovated after the end of the world, it still revealed the obvious military atmosphere of the original.
He was the ruler of one of the largest survivor bases near Shenyang, the mayor of a government in Shenyang before the end of the world, with nearly 1 million people and 200,000 troops of various kinds.
When the end of the world happened, he abandoned his wife, fled to the safe area established by the army with his second and third wives, and then used a series of dazzling political tactics to set up the military leadership.
He feels that he is very unlucky, he has obtained a visa to flee, and the end of the world has come, but he also feels that he is very lucky, the United States where he wants to flee is still in turmoil, the Americans are busy with elections, and the activities of cleaning up zombies have basically stopped.
After the end of the world, he thinks that his corruption will not be liquidated, the evidence is gone, and the millions of people in his hands will also let any party consider wooing, which is the best bargaining condition.
At the beginning, he welcomed the radio broadcasts organized by the Special Committee, a survivor in the Beijing area, which was very useful, to know the situation of the zombies, to increase their chances of survival, and for this reason he did not ban radio, and even encouraged the people to listen to the radio spontaneously, and he was also ready to march into Beijing as soon as possible to seize the Beijing area of the power vacuum, and have the advantage of commanding the world.
When the Special Committee made radio contact with the survivor base in the northeast region and prepared for the northern expedition, he actively organized the army, prepared to go hand in hand, return to the arms of the government as soon as possible, and prepare to gain greater power.
As a result, after the issuance of the Anti-Corruption Law, the brutal and effective liquidation made him know that it was impossible to escape by relying on the care of his accomplices, and it was impossible for him to return to the various areas where he had served to destroy all kinds of evidence.
He hid alone in the house and couldn't count how many people he needed to save to atone for his sins, the special committee made all kinds of complicated conversion relationships make him dizzy, his graduate school and doctorate degree are the products of the exchange of power and university professors, and even if he can atone for his sins, it is impossible to let go of the rights in his hands and the property he has already grabbed.
Another political campaign, confiscating all radio stations and radios, killing no less than tens of thousands of survivors, the army was re-purged, all political commissars, instructors, instructors, party groups and other key elements were all executed, and finally the situation in the survivors' base was once again controlled.
After finishing their busy work, they re-set up the defense line, not to meet the special committee, but to prepare to give the special committee troops a head-on beating, so that they know who has the final say in this one-third of an acre of land, not to kill the most zombies, and to save the people more will have the power and ability to punish the former government officials.
To this end, he also telegraphed the survivor bases held by various former government officials across the country to further discuss a solution to the UNSCOM.
On August 20, 2015, after the end of the Tianjin Campaign, the total population of the area controlled by the Special Committee had nearly 7 million, and the army reached 4 million.
Although the population of the last days was poor, or due to the gradual reduction of the supply of the basic Chinese labor force population before the end of the world, many factories began to transform automation equipment, repair and transform these equipment, which can give full play to the advantages of the high intellectuals among the survivors of the special committee, the work of the Ministry of Industry and Information is carried out in an orderly manner, and the newly established companies in society are also in full swing to devote themselves to the great cause of revival, and they are ready to seize the opportunity to become the first rich people after the end of the world. ,
First of all, in accordance with the new five-year plan, heavy industrial production was resumed, iron ore and steel were used to ensure the supply of iron and steel, the restoration of power plants allowed the machinery factories to transform into the military industry in an all-round way, and the reform of the Ministry of Science and Technology also provided sufficient scientific and technological support for the transformation work.
In addition to the small supply of the munitions production line, which was initially repaired, by 1 September, the first batch of munitions from the modified factories had already arrived at the recuperation units.
The new equipment modification is as follows: the guns are all 7.62 mm caliber, and the original small-caliber guns will not continue to be produced after all the ammunition in stock is used up, which is to consider the long range of large-caliber guns on the one hand, and reserve lethality for further changes in zombies on the other hand.
The heavy artillery is all unified as a 155 mm caliber self-propelled gun, and the new shells are ready to use the preset multi-shrapnel method, mainly to solve the problem that the zombie only has the head is a fatal point, and it explodes in the air 30 meters above the ground, with an explosion angle of 160 degrees, which can cover 90,746 square meters, The shrapnel is booked in size of a 7.62 mm bullet caliber, and the experimental effect in the zombie observation base is OK, and the zombie group in the explosion range is beaten into a sieve, almost all of them are killed, because in actual combat, it is necessary to further verify the reliability and lethality, only a small number of columns, and it will be mass-produced after passing the qualification, for which several military scientific researchers will follow the army to fight.
Tanks also used similar shells, and the equipment of the original Beijing Automobile Company and Tianjin Automobile Company was changed to the production of military vehicles.
Civilian vehicles are thrown everywhere, and they do not need to be produced in a few years, they only need to be repaired.
The stereotyped tank has also been simplified on a large scale, divided into zombie combat type and human combat type, the zombie type as long as the skin is rough and thick, the horsepower is strong, and the cannon bullets are sufficient, and on September 10, it has been off the assembly line to equip the troops, and the human combat type is the latest 2013 model that is being taught and tested in the former armored forces academy before the end of the world, and only a small number of test production capacity is still in production.
Tanks and self-propelled guns were framed, and the soldiers inside were all wearing plate armor, as long as the zombies could not break in and affect the operation--- this idealized design idea later led to many rework.
The large-caliber machine gun is unified to 14.5 mm caliber, this is to ensure that the zombies can be intercepted at a longer distance, and the zombies are currently running at a terrifying speed, and the farther interception is a little more advantageous.
Barbed wire has also been produced, and most of them have been transported to the Haihe defense line and the Mentougou defense line, and only a small amount has been sent to the field army, and a large number of them will be installed after the defense line is deployed.
The expeditionary train uses diesel locomotives, and before the power grid is fully repaired, electric locomotives and high-speed bullet trains cannot be used, and diesel locomotives make fuel strained, and originally relied on a large amount of inventory, but the special committee thought that it would be easy to live a few years and slowly recover the oil-producing area, and now it has to think of ways to recover the Dagang oil field in Cangzhou as soon as possible.
On September 15, 2015, after replenishing a base of ammunition and weapons and supplies, Li Qiang officially announced the start of the military operation to lead the army to the northeast to eliminate zombies and save survivors.
With the strong heavy industry support work of Sun Xiaoshan's Ministry of Industry and the bosses of companies in society who are interested in being the first generation of tycoons in the last days, the ammunition in the rear will be replenished at a faster speed.
Grain and other logistical living materials do not need to be considered at present, everywhere in pre-apocalyptic China in order to ensure that the Chinese people need enough in the event of extinction, the recovery of a few will be solved, and the survivor bases in the northeast have promised to provide them with sufficient supplies - as long as they can reach it.
On September 15, Ma Xiaoshuai led an armed train from Tianjin to explore the Beijing-Shanghai line, and on this day they arrived in Cangzhou, and the "Anti-Corruption Law" that caused the turbulent rebellion of officials before the end of the world was about to be promulgated along with the melting of Cangzhou.
The route of the march was based on the railway line leading to the outside of the Guan, supplemented by roads, so as to facilitate the movement of large troops, ensure the supply of arms, and also search and rescue the areas with the largest number of survivors.
According to the reports of the survivor bases, armed reconnaissance vehicles, and armored trains, the 3 million troops were divided into two departure points: Beijing and Tianjin, and after converging with the survivor bases in Shenyang, they would rest and recuperate, and then march to Changchun again. ,
The General Staff intended to continue the march in two directions, north and west, after the reconquest of Harbin, and after taking into account the situation of the Russians, it was pointed out that it was necessary to confirm whether it was necessary to march before marching.
As for the march into the Korean Peninsula, the main consideration is to save the survivors there, and the Americans will definitely not be able to cross the Pacific Ocean to make trouble at this time, once the Korean Peninsula is recovered, there is the Yalu River as the western defense line, which can be used as a safe human base.
The 1.5 million people who set off from Beijing will go straight to Shenyang via Chengde, Chaoyang and Jinzhou along the way.
The 1.5 million people from Tianjin took on the task of recovering Caofeidian first, which is the location of the new Shougang, with many steel equipment, and the high price of iron ore before the end of the world, so that they are crazy to store a large amount of ore, and the nearby Qian'an iron ore belt is one of China's four large iron ore belts, with reserves of up to 5 billion tons, shallow burial, easy to open pit mining.
After recovering Caofeidian, they will go straight to Shenyang along Qinhuangdao and Huludao by the sea, and make a small-scale division of troops in the middle, and divide a team of men and horses to take Dalian directly.
Because this area is a coastal area, there are a large number of residents, and it is more than the inland route from Beijing, and the large number of residents means that there are many zombies.
In the middle of the railway between Beijing and Tianjin, which marched into Shenyang, it is expected that the troops will conduct intensive searches along the road, clean up and advance all the way, and destroy the hordes of zombies, so as to strive to go hand in hand without being threatened by logistics and besieged by zombies on many sides.
As for the scattered zombies, the Special Committee will organize various non-military forces to clean up, recycle materials, and further advance the logistics support base.
In September, with the exception of restoring the necessary manpower for agriculture and industry, the rest of the population will be concentrated as much as possible on the combat side, and social activities will be almost terminated.
Considering the importance of recovering the city along the way, Li Qiang, commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the last days, set out from Tianjin, and from Beijing was his former tank driver Liu Feng, who now holds the post of commander of the 3rd Group Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the last days.
Because these two brothers climbed up from small soldiers, they have not yet developed the bureaucratic habit of commanding remotely in the rear, and they are also afraid that people will say that they have little qualifications, so they want to use their outstanding military exploits to block people's discussions.
Many former high-ranking professional officers of the General Staff tried to make the organization of the troops more reasonable, and they were politely rejected by the worried special committee, and the zombies are evolving, and no one knows what will happen in the future, so let's talk about it first.
The army was dispatched, the military supplies were numerous, and the speed of action was far from the speed of the movement of bicycle equipment.
On the first day, we drove 50 kilometers and marched to Ninghe County, a county with a population of nearly 400,000 before the end of the world, and the zombies had no concept of night, and nearly 400,000 zombies attacked overnight.
The new operational plan drawn up by the General Staff was to have a large depth, a wide frontage, set up many obstacles, and then concentrate fire to kill and injure in batches.
As soon as the reconnaissance report of a large number of zombie groups was received, the baggage train lined up in front of the march began to prepare, and the engineering troops operated various equipment to set up several barbed wire fences, and then began to dig trenches in backwards.
Under the dispatch of the General Staff, various heavy firepower units in the back are distributed in the section where the Tangjin Expressway and the Ji Canal meet, and this area is bent into an open mouth shape that protrudes to the west, just forming a 9 square kilometers area surrounded by the Ji Canal on three sides, and the Ji Canal is about 300 meters wide after the end of the world, and the water flow is turbulent.
Li Qiang's army was deployed in this zigzag section of the Thistle Canal protruding to the west, across the river from the zombie horde.
This time they did not think about blowing up the bridge, a large number of heavy machine guns were arranged on the S103 and G25 highways and railway bridges, because the bursting shells have not yet been equipped in large quantities, and a small number of bursting shells are mainly used to test the reliability and actual combat effect, and the artillery bombardment will mainly avoid the 500-meter range of roads and railways, and all kinds of roads and bridges will be protected, and they will continue to march along the road.
A larger number of troops are on standby in the back, and according to the law of the zombie herd, they will launch continuous assaults, and it is impossible to escape until they are almost exhausted, and the physical strength of humans is limited, and they need to work in shifts.
The armed reconnaissance vehicle began to throw a large amount of flesh and blood to carry out the corpse extraction operation, and when it chased the zombie into the encirclement, it accelerated through.
In the evening, as the black-pressed zombie hordes arrived on the banks of the Ji Canal, the special committee's first large-scale clean-up operation in the northeast began.
