Chapter 30 Cleaning up Xuefu Street

Zhao Jie's militia team entered into intensive training, and Gu Chengyuan's regular troops were also not idle.

After breakfast, a total of 62 soldiers from two platoons, fully armed, holding various types of light and heavy firepower, and carrying digital camouflage tactical bags filled with magazines and various combat supplies, quickly gathered in front of the building.

Now that Gu Chengyuan's troops have expanded to two platoons, the personnel are also organized into platoons and divided into two small squares.

The command problems caused by the expansion of the actual staff were also resolved at a military meeting attended by all 12 squad leaders and deputies last night.

After nomination by Gu Chengyuan and approval by all staff, the former squad leader of the elite first squad, Jia Sanniu, and deputy squad leader Huang Jiaqi, were appointed as platoon leaders of the first and second platoons.

The moment the two were appointed as platoon leaders, system supplies also arrived, and Gu Chengyuan received two platoon leader supplies.

Inside were the insignia uniforms of lieutenant officers, Type 92 pistols issued exclusively to cadres, walkie-talkies used to establish platoon command, and two copies of the "Infantry Platoon Tactical Training and Command Manual."

The staff vacancies caused by the promotion were filled after Gu Chengyuan spent 600 gold coins.

The promotion of Jia Sanniu and Huang Jiaqi ignited a fire in the eyes of other squad leaders and deputies present, and aroused their desire for the future. After all, there is no one who doesn't want to make progress.

But no one was jealous, thinking that it was unfair to promote two people from the same class at once, especially since Huang Jiaqi even jumped two levels. Because the promotions of Jia Sanniu and Huang Jiaqi were really impeccable.

In terms of seniority, they were the first to follow Gu Chengyuan. In terms of strength, they were both from elite infantry squads and their military qualities were impeccable, so everyone was very convinced of this appointment.

On the road in front of Dormitory Building 22, six Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles were divided into two rows and parked in order on both sides of the road, with two of them aligned and very neat.

The soldiers had resolute faces and stood in the ranks with their heads held high. Their solemn demeanor attracted the attention of the survivors passing by.

The eyes looking at them were filled with various complex emotions such as curiosity, envy, respect, and awe. These emotions made the soldiers subconsciously straighten their backs, as if they were accepting the inspection of the people.

Jia Sanniu and Huang Jiaqi, whose rank collar insignia had been changed to lieutenant and whose tactical vests had Type 92 pistols inserted, were arranging combat tasks in front of their respective platoons.

In addition to resolving personnel appointment issues, last night's military meeting also focused on discussing today's combat plan.

Due to the completion of the clearing mission of the second phase resettlement area of ​​Yezhou University and the west dormitory area, the strength of the troops has been greatly developed, expanding from the original one squad to the current two platoons.

The growth in strength allowed Gu Chengyuan to place the next combat mission on Xuefu Street, next to the West District 1 of Yezhou University.

Xuefu Street is a commercial street built based on Yezhou University specifically to serve students. Its positioning is to eat, drink and have fun. Except for a gym and a cinema, the rest of the street is almost entirely made up of restaurants and shops.

Its main building structure is a high-rise building. The first and second floors of the entire street are used for commercial purposes, while the upper floors are used as commercial housing for sale and leasing.

In other words, although this street is mainly for serving students, as a community, it also has a large capacity for social personnel, with more than 800 households.

As for this combat mission, Gu Chengyuan has already made it clear to the platoon leaders and squad leaders. The main purpose is not to rescue, but to wipe out the zombies and accumulate strength.

The combat mission determines the combat method. This combat operation will not adopt the method of carpet cleaning every house in the building, which is highly dangerous and inefficient.

The main method used is to eliminate the zombies roaming in the entire street, which is the same method used to eliminate the zombies roaming in the second phase resettlement area.

First find a favorable terrain, then build a defense line, create some noise and wait for the zombies to attack actively, so as to achieve the tactical goal of eliminating the zombies' living forces in one go and on a large scale.

Gu Chengyuan stood aside and waited for the two platoon leaders, Jia Sanniu and Huang Jiaqi, to convey their combat intentions before he ordered everyone to get on board.

The convoy of Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles, with the vehicle in which Gu Chengyuan was riding as the lead vehicle, kept a distance of 20 meters from the vehicle and drove towards Xuefu Street with murderous intent amid the roar of diesel engines.
