Chapter 167 Initial Arrival in the Gathering Area
The convoy set off again, walked for about 20 minutes, and Wang Lei, who was in charge of reconnaissance at the front, finally found the army's outpost on the outskirts of a small town, where six soldiers were on duty at the outpost. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The guns of the six soldiers in the outpost are a bit of a hodgepodge, three are equipped with Type 95 automatic rifles, two are equipped with Type 03 automatic rifles, and the last person is equipped with Type 05 strategic assault rifles.
It was the emergence of this Type 05 that replaced the role of the Type 95 squad machine gun, which led to the retirement of the Type Bayi automatic rifle and the Type 95 squad machine gun, which became a strategic reserve and were sealed in various reserve points.
The Type 05 is called a "strategic" rifle because it can be said to be a single integrated combat system, which consists of a 5.8mm assault rifle and a 20mm grenade launcher, with a total gun length of less than 0.95 meters and a weight of less than 5 kilograms. It was named after the formal finalization in early 2005. The Type 05 rifle's fire control system, combined with a long-barreled grenade launcher, gave the infantry unprecedented strike firepower, and its appearance completely eliminated the special fire support platform of the squad machine gun.
Moreover, the Type 05 full gun weighs less than 5 kilograms, which is much lighter than the US XM-29 and has better carrying performance.
"With such an advanced weapon, I couldn't kill a few mutant wolves, and in the end, I left 100,000 survivors and fled here like a lost dog, and now it seems that the more advanced the weapon, the better!" Wang Lei sighed in his heart.
In 2025, with the rapid development of aerospace science and technology, the equipment of the troops will be replaced wave after wave, and those bulky high-power weapons will almost be replaced by light individual weapons, and most of the heavy firepower will rely on high-tech weapons such as light missiles.
Even when they were in the JZ gathering area, the 12.7 mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns were all new vehicle-mounted machine guns that were exchanged from the short-range air defense units, and they were all abandoned on the way to attack the city.
Although the missiles can still be used now, compared to the number of zombies and mutant beasts, the existing missiles are too few, at least there are not many individual missiles in the arsenal of the WH military division, otherwise the mutant giant wolf will not escape.
And if the production of the arsenal can be resumed one day, a group of dirt buns, even if the machinery and equipment are intact, will not be able to make missiles at all.
Therefore, it is still a simple structure of machine guns, cannons and other heavy weapons, which are more practical in today's battles against zombies.
"If there is a cannon now, it will be easier to deal with the L3. Wang Lei couldn't help but say.
It's a pity that he can only be here, Qin Guotao has long said that due to the suddenness of the incident, the soldiers are in a hurry to break through, and no one has to carry those bulky cannons, and now those artillery pieces are still lying in the arsenal of the WH military division, and I don't know when they will see the light of day.........
Just when Wang Lei found this group of soldiers, this group of soldiers also found out about Wang Lei's arrival, and they pulled their guns one after another, raising their guns to Wang Lei, and the soldier holding a Type 05 strategic rifle said: "Stop, who is it? This is a military place, and we will shoot if we come forward." ”
Although the soldier's speech was sonorous and powerful, Wang Lei could see from his slightly trembling hand that this person must be nervous in his heart, after all, the fox more than two meters tall is not a good thing, and they all remember the mutant giant wolf incident in the JZ gathering area, and now they can not be nervous when they see such a mutant beast appear in front of everyone's eyes again?
Fortunately, they found a survivor sitting on the mutant beast, and knew that the monster was not wild, so they didn't shoot it in the first place.
"Hey, buddy, put down your gun, don't be nervous and be careful, I'm a reinforcement invited by Colonel Qin Guotao, your chief is still in the rear with my convoy, or they will be here soon." Wang Lei inevitably misunderstood the other party, ordered the phantom to stop advancing, and explained to these people seriously.
With Wang Lei's explanation, the soldier on the opposite side put down his gun, and the one holding a Type 05 rifle should be a squad leader or something, only to see him pick up the walkie-talkie and start to report the situation here.
Although the remaining five people were still standing in place, they all looked at Wang Lei and his mount curiously, and several of them even whispered to each other, without the rigorous attitude of a soldier at all.
According to Wang Lei's analysis, except for the soldier who is reporting the situation, the rest of these people should be newly recruited after the end of the world, these recruits are in a hurry due to the rush of time, most of them just learned how to shoot, and they were hurriedly sent to the battlefield, their military quality is indeed not very good, even the ordinary combatants under Wang Lei are not as good, at least those soldiers under Wang Lei, most of them have experienced a cruel life and death training, just that iron-blooded momentum, can completely crush these soldiers on the opposite side.
Not long after Wang Lei stopped, the rear convoy also arrived here, and under Qin Guotao's personal negotiation, the convoy was finally able to enter the gathering area smoothly.
The temporary gathering area is set in a small town, which is the area at the junction of the two provinces, and the population is not much, not to mention that the topography of Anxian County is different from that of Wang Lei's county, which is generally mountainous and not suitable for large-scale farmland cultivation, so the population is not very large, and the entire Anxian County has a permanent population of less than 300,000 before the end of the world.
However, Qin Guotao's team had only suffered defeat, ammunition and materials were scarce, even if they had about 2,000 troops, they did not dare to attack the county seat easily, and could only lay down a small town on the side of the road as a temporary foothold.
The town is not big, before the end of the world, it was for the convenience of passing vehicles to stop and rest, and the largest flow of people was only six or seven thousand people, but now there are more than 20,000 people at once, making the whole town crowded.
Wang Lei walked in the town and found that the road was full of simple tents on both sides, and the survivors were dressed in rags, yellow muscles, and obviously looked malnourished.
Most of these survivors with yellow faces and thin muscles are adults, and even these once strong adults are now weak like this, and those old, weak, sick and disabled can naturally be imagined, and looking at this situation, it is not a matter of one or two days.
It seems that more than 20,000 people escaped from the JZ gathering area in half a day, and it was not all because of the chaos, these people even had problems walking, let alone running for their lives.
The situation of the army is slightly better, at least not many malnourished soldiers have been found, presumably food should be given priority to the army.
Wang Lei can fully understand this situation, if the soldiers fighting on the front line are so hungry that they can't even raise their guns, then this team will not be far from extinction.
