Darkness is Coming Chapter 123

  Looking down from a high altitude, the camp of the 258th Brigade is like a big net, which traps tens of thousands of refugees in the entire refuge camp.

   In order to protect every inhabitant, the 258th Brigade had to cooperate with the new army and spread it all over the camp. Only in this way can it be guaranteed that when a corpse changes in any place, the 258th Brigade has the ability to eliminate the zombies at the first time. Otherwise, if the corpse hordes are allowed to approach the refuge camp, causing the camp to riot, and causing the fleeing people to rush into the camp in groups, the consequences would be unimaginable.

   Liu Yuanzhou has repeatedly suggested that Zhao Jiang give up the idea of ​​keeping everyone, and make various emergency plans in advance, focusing on the stability of the 258th Brigade. At this point, even the battalion commander Jianghai Chaojiang, who was unable to get along with Liu Yuanzhou, rarely expressed his approval of Liu Yuanzhou's proposal.

   But in Zhao Jiang's view, whether men, women, or children are compatriots in Yuanjiang, how can they be divided into high and low levels, and how can they think about which part to give up in the future when the situation is not out of control?

"Well, several gas stations around have excess oil that can be used to make improvised incendiary bombs. We also need a factory to refine iron nets in large quantities. There are also materials for construction teams that need to be replenished." In the headquarters, Zhao Jiang lowered his head and stared at it. Start with the map in your hand and think carefully.

   A refuge camp where there may be zombies rushing in at any time without army guards cannot give people a sense of security. Without a sense of security, it is difficult for people to devote themselves to production.

  Emotions are difficult to relieve, there is no hope for life, and there is a lack of security. People will spread all kinds of rumors, and even create violence and riots, which will not only affect the refugees in the camp, but also subtly attack the combat enthusiasm of the fighters.

Since the outbreak of the disaster, there have been three cases of soldiers in the 258 Brigade leaving the team with guns and artillery. One of them even drove away a main battle tank, causing Zhao Jiang to throw his teacup in anger - although these three incidents They were all dealt with seriously, but they still sounded the alarm to the 258th brigade command.

So after much consideration, Zhao Jiang decided to slow down the advance speed and focus on combating mutants and stabilizing the camp. Yuanjiang, let more survivors come to the 258 Brigade, instead of the 258 Brigade with limited resources and energy to search for them one by one.

Of course, this will inevitably put some people in trouble who are incapable of escaping from the zombies and protecting themselves, but it's been two months since the disaster broke out, and after two months of **** cleansing, they can't get the courage to walk out of their homes and find a refuge camp. After all, people are in the minority.

Zhao Jiang is concerned with all kinds of opportunities, but he has always missed something. He didn't think about it, and people who think about it will turn a blind eye. According to Jiang Haichao, people who only dare to hide in the bed and tremble will be a burden to rescue. , Those who do not have the courage to live are also suffering, why bother to prolong their suffering?

As a result, the 258 Brigade commander unanimously approved the "Great Wall of the Far River" plan: they will build a wall around the current refuge camp site, and use the Great Wall-like continuous high wall and barbed wire to enclose a safe area. In this way, the 258 Brigade only needs to Just stay on the city wall and beware of mutants. It is impossible for small and medium-sized corpses to break through the city wall, and large corpses will definitely attract the attention of the sentries from afar. The 258 Brigade no longer needs to be on 360-degree all-round vigilance at all times. Greatly reduce the pressure on the 258 brigade.

Moreover, as long as there is a city wall to isolate the external corpse tide, the people inside the city wall have a sense of security, and they can devote themselves to production and quickly rebuild the urban ecology. At that time, it will be much easier to recruit new troops and organize and manage them than now, and there will be less resistance. The 258 Brigade will be able to devote more energy to killing corpses and preventing epidemics, setting up an acropolis to expand the safe area, and further providing nutritious soil for the urban ecology, bringing a sense of security and identity to the people, and completely breaking the current "disturbance-riot-disturbance" A vicious circle creates a virtuous circle.

   However, although the idea is good, in fact everyone knows that the Great Wall of the Yuanjiang River is a huge project that is difficult to complete. Fortunately, on the one hand, the 258 Brigade is not lacking in labor. As long as the most basic three meals a day are provided, countless people will break their heads to grab the position of the coolie. Secondly, the 258 Brigade has long been collected by Liu Yuanzhou and his department. There is a large number of construction machinery, and there is no shortage of related talents.

   Only one problem remains to be solved: materials.

  Industry is a chain of industries, and it is difficult for the current 258 Brigade to meet the conditions required to build the city wall.

   Zhao Jiang was staring at the map and thinking about his next move. The messenger knocked on the door and walked in, raising his hand in a salute in a standard military posture.

   "Report to the brigade commander, there is news from Staff Liu that the Awakened Council is about to start. He suggests that you go with him, or convene the whole brigade to ensure your safety."

   From the expression on the correspondent's face, it can be seen that he also agrees with Liu Yuanzhou's proposal. After all, the 258th Brigade Headquarters only has one communications company and one guard company, which is too shabby compared to Zhao Jiang's identity. How can the brigade commander's safety be guaranteed if he is attacked without all the Awakened beings in the camp?

   Zhao Jiang laughed and shook his head: "No, what's there to be afraid of?"

  What if the entire brigade is called and the border of the camp that lacks defenses encounters a corpse tide? Zhao Jiang didn't consider Liu Yuanzhou's suggestion at all. He couldn't put his own safety above the safety of tens of thousands of people, and he didn't think that zombies or mutants had any possibility to know his specific location. Even inside the 258 brigade, except for Only a few people outside the communication company and the security company that Zhao Jiang took with him knew the exact location of the headquarters.

   Instead of worrying about this, think about how to restore logistics.

   Zhao Jiang's migraine is about to attack when he thinks of logistical problems. For a mechanized infantry brigade, logistics are critical. A 258 brigade with a complete logistics system has a huge difference in combat capability and endurance compared with a 258 brigade without logistics. For a modern army, the quality of logistics may even directly determine the outcome of the war.

   The logistics department of the Ke 258 Brigade is not as simple as managing food and water, doing laundry and cooking. If nothing else, just finding a qualified mechanic engineer is difficult.

   In addition to the 258th Brigade's own logistics team, there are quite a few mechanics and repairmen among the re-enlisted veterans, but most of them are second-in-command. It's not that easy to teach. Without the guidance of professional instructors and a lack of training environment, there is no need to expect them to learn much from the soldiers of the 258th Brigade in a short period of time.

"When Yuanzhou comes back, I have to let him come up with ideas for me." Zhao Jiang thought, and found that he was relying more and more on Liu Yuanzhou when making decisions, so he couldn't help but smile, "Thanks to him, I hope this time. The council can meet the expectations smoothly, don't make any mistakes. Hey, maybe he shouldn't be allowed to go, what is the Awakened Council, hehe."

   Unlike Liu Yuanzhou, Zhao Jiang is an older generation who grew up under the influence of collectivism. He is extremely disgusted with Yang Xiaoqian's behavior of sitting on the ground and asking for a price in a critical situation. After Liu Yuanzhou's repeated persuasion, he was willing to do such a thing.

   After all, Zhao Jiang knew in his heart that Yuanjiang, now trapped in the dome, was a colosseum of humans and zombies. If you want to win, you must unite every force that can be united, rather than stubbornly rejecting others or even pushing others into the enemy camp.

  258 Brigade wants to be the Great Wall of the far river, so it cannot push people like Yang Xiaoqian out of the wall.
