The training ground covers a large area, with dozens of acres occupying one-twentieth of the entire Fourth Outer City.
Here, shooting and target training, combat training, and even driving training are all concentrated here.
Outside the barbed wire fence, Mr. Hu sat in a wheelchair and admired the situation inside, with Tang Ji accompanying him behind him.
"Master Hu, are they training new recruits?"
"Well, after hanging bricks for training, the next step should be live ammunition training." Mr. Hu said while looking at the hundreds of people inside.
The sun was shining a bit fiercely, and the recruits inside were wearing short-sleeved shirts, and they were all sweating profusely. The sweat on their muscles emitted a bronze-colored light under the sunlight.
"I heard that a central meeting was held here at Da Zhangshu base a while ago. Guess how many combatants there are in Da Zhangshu now..." Master Hu turned his head and looked at Tang Ji.
Tang Ji shook his head, "I don't know."
Mr. Hu exclaimed with eyes: "According to my observation, there are at least two to three thousand people here at the Da Zhangshu headquarters base, there are also two or three thousand people over there in the Oil City, and there is probably at least a few hundred people in the north.
The total number of these is more than 6,000. With so many combatants, it is hard to imagine what a powerful force they will be in the end of the world."
After finishing speaking, he felt that the excitement was enough, so he continued: "Go back, the Chinese medicine that the little master Qingyang gave me recently, I feel much bitterer than before..."
...
"Hold up and hold on!" Ju Tianrui shouted at the group of people with a loudspeaker.
At this moment, Pan Hai ran over in small steps.
"Master Hu just looked at the barbed wire fence outside for a while, and now he's leaving."
Ju Tianrui glanced at the barbed wire fence in the distance, "Yeah, I understand."
Of course, Ju Tianrui alone couldn't train these militiamen, so Ju Tianrui found some people from his previous subordinates to help, and Pan Hai was one of them.
Ju Tianrui picked up the loudspeaker again and shouted to everyone:
"Keep this action for another ten minutes."
.......
Outer city duty room.
"The commando team must conduct actual combat training. It is useless to stay in the base and train more!"
"The search for gold can be left to non-staff personnel. Why are you running out as a commando..."
"I told my dad and he supported me in leading the team out."
Seeing Li Tie's serious look, the second uncle looked helpless.
In the past few days, people from the Ministry of Science and Technology have jointly reported, hoping that the base can stockpile more gold so that there will be enough gold for precision instruments in the future industrialization process.
Moreover, having more gold does not seem to be of much use at present, but at a certain stage of development in the future, gold will establish the monetary control of Da Zhangshu Base.
Therefore, the Da Zhangshu Base updated its mission to search for gold.
Since gold is extremely rare, the exchange ratio set is relatively high.
One kilogram of gold can be exchanged for five kilograms of grain.
But you must know that before the end of the world, about 3 kilograms of gold in an ordinary gold store was very good. Putting too much gold would be unsafe and the investment would be huge.
What's more, it's been so long since the end of the world, and many gold shops have long been wiped out.
For some banks that store a lot of gold, the gold is stored in the basement, and the walls are made of more than two meters of concrete. In addition, they are underground. If you dig tunnels, the gains outweigh the losses.
There is simply no way that ordinary survivors can do it.
Going past the main entrance, you have to face several of the thickest and strongest security doors before the apocalypse, which cannot be opened without the use of large-scale cutting equipment.
Even with cutting equipment, it takes more than several hours to open a hole.
Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary survivors in the apocalypse to obtain gold from bank vaults.
"Okay, what does Xiaoyu say? If he agrees, I'll let you go." The second uncle said helplessly.
I was also wondering why the Li family always wanted to run out.
Li Yu is like this, Li Zhengping is like this, and Li Tie is like this.
This has its advantages and disadvantages. You can grow by going out for more experience, but it is dangerous.
The gold in the vaults of the bank headquarters in several counties and cities around the Da Zhangshu Base has been emptied out little by little by their teams over the past few years.
A vault can contain more than a dozen tons of gold, or as little as one or two tons of gold. It is not difficult to move it, but it is more troublesome to open the bank vault door.
If Li Tie wants to go out to find gold, he can only look for it in other provinces. The first target is Guangdong Province.
As one of the most economically developed regions before the end of the world, the bank headquarters in this region stored a large amount of gold.
However, Guangdong Province is close to the coast, and due to typhoon disasters in the past two years, the nuclear power plant leaked, resulting in the appearance of many nuclear-radiated zombies.
Nuclear radiation zombies are no joke. Once you are touched by a nuclear radiation zombie, you will have no choice but to wait for death.
Nuclear radiation zombies are more terrifying than wall-climbing zombies.
If it weren't for the fact that they had blown up the main road between Jiangxi and Guangdong in the past two years, blocking most of the nuclear-radiated zombies from Guangdong Province, the consequences would have been disastrous.
In addition, two years ago, there were also a large number of nuclear-radiated zombies from Fujian Province coming from Wuyi Mountain, and Li Yu and the others used various methods to lure them away.
Even so, they still encountered one or two nuclear-radiated zombies in the past two years, ten days and a half.
Once seen, they were shot from a distance and the corpses of these zombies were buried with cement.
Now, Li Tie said that he would go to the regional headquarters of the Bank of China in the capital of Guangdong Province, which is full of dangers, to look for gold. The second uncle was very reluctant.
"Big brother also supports me to go." Li Tieyi said righteously.
"well....."
The second uncle put down his pen and pointed at him, "You really are not afraid of death."
"Okay, how many people are you going to bring?"
Li Tie said without hesitation:
"This time we go out not only to search for gold, but also to exercise the commando's ability to respond to emergencies. All we need is the commando led by me to go there."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The second uncle pondered deeply. When the commando team was first established, it was only composed of some non-staff personnel who had joined the army. At that time, there were more people.
Each squadron has 200 men.
But later, the positioning of the commando team became more precise. The commando team existed between the combat team and the special operations team, performing some internal and external assault missions.
It requires individual soldiers to have strong combat capabilities and the ability to maneuver quickly...it can be considered the elite of the elite in the combat team.
Later, more and more attention was paid to the commando team, so the number of commando team members was reduced.
There are only fifty people in one commando team and one hundred people in two teams.
After screening the more than 400 people from the two commando teams, only a dozen people remained, and the remaining 70 or so people were all selected from the entire army.
It can be regarded as the most powerful team besides the special forces team.
This central meeting emphasized the need for this commando team to improve its combat capabilities.
As the captain of the commando team, Li Tie was naturally under a lot of pressure.
But now there are no external combat missions in the base, and live-fire exercises can only be conducted near the base.
This is not enough.
Without real training in the battlefield, it is impossible to form an iron-blooded army.
It just so happened that this gold search mission fit the purpose of their training very well.
From Gan City to Guang City, a distance of several hundred kilometers, long-range operations can hone the cohesion and cooperation of this team.
"Fifty people... would be more appropriate." The second uncle thought about it again and again, then murmured and nodded.
If there are too many people going to Guang City, their mobility is not high and it will be difficult to escape when encountering a large number of zombies.
With fewer people, the firepower will be too weak.
Fifty people, four armored vehicles and a truck specially used to transport gold are enough.
With five vehicles and fifty people, the mobility is sufficient.
There are not many people. If the commando team encounters a zombie wave that they cannot handle, it will be more convenient to send a helicopter from the headquarters base to rescue them.
The reason why we did not take a helicopter was actually to conduct actual combat training on the special forces team's ability to sneak on land.
Otherwise, just by taking three helicopters, you can reach Guangzhou in just a few hours.
"Okay, when do you plan to leave?" asked the second uncle.
"Immediately." Li Tie said seriously.
"Don't you want to get ready?" The second uncle frowned and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already half past ten in the morning.
Li Tie shook his head and said:
"My dad said that the focus of the commando team is assault. In any unexpected situation, such as a sudden enemy attack, the commando team can immediately prepare and set off to perform the mission in a very short period of time. This is meaningful."
"Otherwise, by the time we are ready, we will have missed the best opportunity..."
The second uncle scratched his head and said, "I don't understand military management, but the third uncle does. Since he says so, just listen to him. You two, father and son, are really alike."
"Go on, go on, you have already agreed, why do you come to ask me..."
When Li Tie heard that his second uncle agreed, he smiled and said:
"Second uncle, I'm leaving then..."
"Go! Go! Go."
Li Tie turned around, picked up the helmet from the table, and walked out of the duty room door.
As soon as he came out, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Wu Dazun, the deputy captain of the commando team.
"Your Majesty, we are out on an urgent mission. We will have everyone ready to leave for Guangdong Province within fifteen minutes."
"You ask Chen Dingtian to bring out four armored vehicles and one heavy truck from the warehouse and fill them with fuel. Make sure there is enough fuel for us to go back and forth."
"I'll have the other things delivered."
Wu Dazun, who was resting at his residence, heard Li Tie's voice on the intercom, quickly picked up the intercom and replied: "Roger, captain, what kind of mission do you have to travel so far away?"
"I'll tell you later. Hurry up and get everyone together."
After speaking, he immediately contacted Liu Jianwen.
Liu Jianwen is not only the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but also the director of the Armaments Department, responsible for managing the weapons and ammunition depots, oil depots, vehicles, etc. in the base.
"Minister Liu, I am Xiaotie. The commando team has a practical training mission. I have reported it to the city lord and president. We need to prepare XX tons of fuel, explosion-proof clothing, radiation-proof clothing, respiratory masks, armored vehicles, bombs, and cutting machines.
.....”
He quickly told Liu Jianwen what he needed.
When Liu Jianwen heard that the commando team was going out to Guangdong Province, he immediately replied: "Okay, I will send someone to deliver the things right away."
After finishing speaking, he immediately contacted his subordinates to send the corresponding items.
In order to ensure that the commando team is fast enough, the commando team can directly contact the director of the Armaments Department for whatever they want. There is no need to go through any approval in the process, which can greatly improve efficiency.
After the arrangements were made, Liu Jianwen asked Li Yu if this was the case.
Ensure efficiency first and then verify authenticity.
Everything is compromised for efficiency.
After Li Tie contacted Liu Jianwen, he immediately contacted Li Yuan from the Logistics Department.
"Xiaoyuan, I want to go out on a raid mission immediately. I need enough food for fifty people to eat for half a month..."
Li Yuan was a little surprised, but she remembered what she emphasized in the central meeting a few days ago that when the commando team came to do the mission, other departments must cooperate.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. Just transfer it directly from the backup warehouse in the Second Outer City. It's fast."
"Okay, thanks."
After Li Tie said all this, he glanced at the time on his watch and saw that three minutes had passed.
At this time, others also came to the second outer city.
When he arrived at the Second Outer City, most of the commandos were already in place, with four or five more to go.
Each of these commandos wore combat uniforms, and next to them was a black package containing their bedding and daily necessities.
Li Tie frowned and asked Wu Dashun:
"Count the people and see who hasn't arrived yet."
Li Tie didn't tell him about this mission. He thought something big had happened.
Seeing that there were still people who hadn't arrived, his face looked a little ugly.
"We just counted the number of people. There are 45 people, and there are still 5 people left, namely Liu Dacheng..."
Li Tie looked at his watch from time to time and lamented that the speed was too slow. It seemed that he would need to train more emergency gatherings in the future.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! An emergency gathering of ordinary troops before the end of the world requires getting up quickly, getting dressed, packing a backpack, and carrying guns, ammunition and other equipment. It takes about 3 to 5 days to run to the playground.
minute.
However, this is a commando team, and three minutes is not enough.
Still practicing!
Four minutes later, all the commandos arrived.
One after another, armored vehicles, radiation protection suits and other supplies were delivered.
Li Tie asked them to quickly count the quantities and load the trucks.
In just a moment, it took ten minutes.
It seems that there is no way to set off within fifteen minutes, Li Tie sighed.
But that's understandable, because this time it's a remote mission and requires a lot of preparation, so it takes longer.
They had trained before that if they wanted to carry out a short-range mission from the Da Zhangshu base headquarters, it would only take five minutes from receiving the mission to taking off.
But this time it was different. This time we had to prepare enough food, radiation protection suits and other things, which naturally took longer.
They will try their best to avoid nuclear radiation zombies when they go out this time, but if they cannot avoid it, radiation-proof clothing can also provide them with the necessary protection.
Soon, after all the things that should be brought were prepared, 35 minutes had passed since the start of this mission.
The commandos boarded the armored vehicles, and four armored vehicles and one heavy truck drove out of the second outer city of Da Zhangshu Base.
Heavy trucks are loaded with fuel, large cutting equipment, and bombs.
Fuel occupies a relatively small space, only a few tons. Compared with a heavy-duty truck with a loading capacity of 30 tons, it only occupies one-eighth of the space.
These armored vehicles have a very long cruising range, reaching 900 kilometers, and the distance from Da Zhangshu Base to Guang City is only 450 kilometers.
However, the road conditions on the ground are complicated, and they may encounter curves and other situations, so the fuel in the fuel tank alone is not enough for them to go back and forth. They must refuel in case of emergency.
After the vehicle drove out of the headquarters base, Li Tiecai picked up the walkie-talkie and informed everyone of their mission and goals this time.
The basic equipment of the commando team members is fully equipped.
Each team member has a walkie-talkie so they can communicate at any time.
Moreover, each armored vehicle is equipped with a wireless long-wave radio station, which can contact the headquarters base.
