Chapter 121 Qinghe Town's Ammunition Depot

Gu Chengyuan enthusiastically brought Zhao Lei and others to the meeting room where the military held daily meetings, and asked Zhou Guihong to serve them tea.

Such an enthusiastic attitude made Zhao Lei and his companions feel a little embarrassed.

"Chief of Staff Zhao, I wonder what exactly this cooperation you're talking about is about?"

After they sat down, Gu Chengyuan continued to ask questions along the same topic.

The value of a brigade-level ammunition depot is not small, especially in the end times. In a sense, it is more important than a granary.

Having food can only ensure that you don’t go hungry, but if you have a gun, you can decide who will go hungry!

There's no such thing as a pie in the sky

All the gifts from fate have already been marked with a price.

Gu Chengyuan was not overwhelmed by the ammunition depot. The first thing he wanted to know was what price he would have to pay.

"We hope to work with your army to capture this ammunition depot"

"This ammunition depot is the ammunition depot of our Night Market Internal Security Detachment. It contains two million rounds of ammunition for various types of light and heavy weapons."

A brigade-level ammunition depot belonging to the Internal Security Detachment?

From Zhao Lei's two short sentences, Gu Chengyuan obtained a lot of useful information, the most important of which was the estimation of the current strength of the Night Market Internal Security Detachment.

The municipal-level internal security detachment is generally at regiment level, with a staff of around 1000 people.

Being able to possess a brigade-level ammunition depot means that the Night Market Internal Guard is also at brigade level, and the number of personnel should have been around two thousand before the end of the world.

Based on a simple estimate of the infection rate and casualties, even in the best case scenario, the Night Market Internal Security Detachment should only have about a thousand people left.

"Is the ammunition depot in the city?" Gu Chengyuan asked.

"No, there isn't. The ammunition depot is in Qinghe Town."

Qinghe Town?

Hearing this name, Gu Chengyuan did not feel unfamiliar, on the contrary, he felt very familiar with it.

Qinghe Town is very close to the night market and even closer to the stream area. It is less than 30 kilometers away from Yezhou University.

The reason why Gu Chengyuan knew it was because it also had a university town, but compared to the university town in Xishui District, Qinghe Town was full of technical colleges.

Qinghe Town is considered a big town, with a population of about 100,000 people.

Thinking of this information, Gu Chengyuan frowned slightly. This bone seemed to be difficult to chew.

"If my guess is correct, this ammunition depot should be inside Qinghe Town, right?"

An ammunition depot built in Qinghe Town could make the Internal Security Detachment with a strength of about 1,000 people swallow its pride and be willing to share its profits in exchange for cooperation. Apart from the fact that it was located inside Qinghe Town, Gu Chengyuan could not think of any other reason.

It's impossible that he is giving himself benefits in various ways, right?

Many people believe that the army’s ammunition depots should be located in sparsely populated suburbs or in caves deep in the mountains and forests.

In fact, except for some sensitive special forces, the ammunition depots of many ordinary troops are not built in remote areas.

Even ammunition depots are not uncommon in city centers, which can be considered a historical legacy.

Hearing Gu Chengyuan's question, Zhao Lei also nodded with a wry smile.

When the detachment built the ammunition depot, its superiors took into consideration that the internal security forces only stored ordinary ammunition, so in order to save costs, they simply built the ammunition depot inside the detachment's existing teaching team.

This not only saves costs, but also reduces the pressure on guards.

In that economically difficult era, the entire nation's army was tightening its belt to make ends meet. The main force was living a hard life and needed to set up farms to support themselves.

Not to mention the lower-ranked inner guards.

Later, the domestic economy improved, and social security also improved. As an internal security force, there was no need to go through the trouble of moving.

After all, the approval procedures for the relocation of the ammunition depot are quite cumbersome, and the application must be submitted to Zhou Bang’s military headquarters.

There will be no reward for successful relocation, but if something goes wrong during the relocation process, a large group of people will be punished.

It was a typical thankless job, so the subsequent leaders naturally had no motivation to push this matter forward.

Therefore, this ammunition depot located in the center of the town has been preserved until now.

Gu Chengyuan's guess was not wrong. The reason why the internal guards came to seek cooperation was indeed because there were too many zombies.

But there is another reason that Gu Chengyuan didn't expect

That is, the strength of the Night Market Internal Security Detachment is far worse than he estimated. Now there are less than 500 soldiers left, and they are completely unable to support the attack on the Qinghe Town ammunition depot.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, their military strength was indeed similar to what Gu Chengyuan estimated, but in the process of covering the residents' evacuation of the city, almost half of them, including the chief of staff, were buried in the tide of corpses...

You can imagine how tragic the situation was at that time.

You have to know that ordinary residents are not like the army, who can leave at any time. Even when disaster strikes, many ordinary people will procrastinate and cause trouble.

Zhao Lei encountered an outrageous auntie who asked the army to take away her family's property.

Zhao Lei advised her that life is important

She said that she would rather die than lose the money she had saved for decades.

Zhao Lei had no choice but to ask two soldiers to carry supplies for her.

Many soldiers of the detachment died at the hands of such people. Whenever Zhao Lei thought of this, his heart ached.

If it was him at this moment, he would definitely slap me twice.

Slap the old lady, and slap yourself at that time

Zhou Bang protected ordinary people in the country too well

Although many people usually like to bark on the Internet

But the body is honest.

Even when the firecrackers exploded, they didn't know to squat with their heads covered.
