Chapter 596 Troop mobilization!
Huhuhu~~
The sky was as dark as ink, and the world seemed to be shrouded in a thick curtain. The cold wind whistled through the green tents in the military camp, rolling up the dead and yellow leaves on the ground, and swirling them in the air.
The scattered hanging warm yellow lights shook violently, distorting the sentry's straight figure into the appearance of a monster.
Even a few trees at the camp gate that were shivering in the cold wind made creaking sounds as if complaining about the long night.
Beep beep beep beep~~
Beep beep beep~
Beep beep beep~~
...
Suddenly, in the camps of various infantry brigades in the Zhanjiang gathering area, the sentries blew the wake-up whistles almost in no particular order.
The shrill whistle pierced the sky, scaring the sleeping soldiers so much that they immediately threw off their warm quilts the moment they opened their eyes and jumped off the bed.
The temptation of promotion will reward everyone who likes to stay in bed...
"Turn on the lights!"
“Turn on the light!!”
...
Boom boom~
All of a sudden, tents lit up like lanterns one after another. In less than half a minute, half of the entire Zhanjiang gathering place was lit up!
"Zhiming, you're wearing the wrong shoes, they're mine!"
In the tent where the air was slightly turbid, Zhang Jingyu snatched the combat boots from his childhood friend Hu Zhiming.
Then he quickly put on fleece coats, cotton coats, and winter training uniforms one by one.
"Zhiming, hurry up, we're going to gather soon!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jingyu had already put on his bullet belt and helmet, and was dragging his backpack out from under the bed. He used his hands and feet to stuff the rolled quilt and sleeping bag on the bed into it.
"Okay, I'm almost there Jingyu!"
Even though he had been drilled by his squad leader countless times for this, Ho Chi Minh was still a little flustered at this moment.
After being a rich second-generation for twenty years, the slow-paced lifestyle has been ingrained in his bones and cannot be changed immediately by promotion overnight.
"Then you put on your gear first, and I'll help you! Don't miss anything! These are the six magazines that were just issued last night!" Zhang Jingyu was helpless about this and could only help Ho Chi Minh pack up while cursing.
Who made the other person your childhood friend?
As he said this, he pushed Ho Chi Minh aside, grabbed the opening of Ho Chi Minh's backpack with both hands, raised his foot and kicked the quilt and sleeping bag that protruded from the opening!
"Hey...Jing...you..."
Ho Chi Minh, who was sweating with nervousness, opened his mouth and wanted to shout something but nothing came out when he saw his childhood friend treating his bedding so rudely.
I have to wash my newly distributed quilt and sleeping bag clean before going to bed every time, for fear of getting them dirty.
But BYD’s Jingyu really jumps up and kicks!
"Alright! Put it on your back!"
Before Ho Chi Minh could react, Zhang Jingyu had already kicked his backpack into his own shape, lifted it up and hung it on Ho Chi Minh.
Beep beep beep~
"gather!!"
Beep beep beep~
"gather!!!"
..
"Let's go! Hurry up! What are you doing? If you're late you'll get bitten again!!"
When the assembly whistle sounded, Zhang Jingyu pulled Hu Zhiming, then turned around and led the way out of the tent.
Seeing this, Ho Chi Minh, who was sweating profusely, did not even bother to check how many combat boot prints there were on his quilt and sleeping bag. He quickly followed with his huge backpack on his back, twisting his body like a penguin.
"One two one!"
"One, two, one! One, two, one! One, two, three, four!"
"one two three four!"
...
As the shouts that shook the sky rang out, teams of soldiers ran out of the tents like ants. After forming up, they continued to run towards the training ground that the brigade had specially leveled out.
Lu Chong stood on the roof of the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district headquarters building, wearing a military coat and holding a telescope in his hand, watching the movement of each infantry brigade.
Today, the Zhanjiang gathering area has basically become a military zone where only troops are active. As for the tens of thousands of survivors who originally lived here, they have long been transferred to the newly established military industrial zone in Zhanjiang District.
They are either assigned to construction teams, responsible for the infrastructure construction of major factory buildings in the military industrial zone; or assigned to various factories, responsible for the production and manufacturing of various military weapons and materials; or assigned to logistics, responsible for ensuring the normal operation of the entire military industrial zone.
Anyway, except for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the nearly 10 survivors in Zhanjiang District have all been put into production and construction.
Even though some of them are still relatively idle due to the scale of the industry, once Jiangjin District is recovered in a while, these people will definitely be very busy!
It is definitely a very cumbersome project for 300 survivors to rebuild two districts with nearly million people before the apocalypse, even if it is just an industrial zone!
In this regard, Lu Chong just wanted to say that the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district does not keep idle people!
...
"Chief!"
A major staff officer pushed the door open and came behind Lu Chong, saying in a serious tone:
"Report to the commander. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Yezhou Infantry Brigade have sent a message saying that they are ready to go. Please give your instructions!"
Hearing this, Lu Chong looked up into the distance, watching the sky about to turn pale, and gave the order with a firm look on his face:
"Order all troops to move to the designated area immediately!"
"Yes!"
..
Soon, as Lu Chong's orders reached each infantry brigade, the roar of car engines could be heard throughout the Zhanjiang Military Region.
Military transport vehicles loaded with soldiers and combat supplies turned on their headlights, like dragons of light swimming in the city, passing through different city gates and driving out.
But no matter which direction they go, their final destination is Jiangjin District, located north of Zhanjiang District!
"Report to the provincial military district immediately and tell them that the troops have begun to mobilize!"
Watching the convoys of various brigades begin to pass through the city gate, Lu Chong tightened the collar of his coat and turned to give instructions to the staff officer who was shivering with cold beside him.
"Yes!"
After saying this, the staff officer immediately ran to the combat command room as if he had been pardoned.
Damn it, I should have stopped pretending to be so cool. In order to make myself look smart, I wore so little that I almost froze to death.
Seeing this, Lu Chong couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, but then quickly returned to his serious look and walked towards the combat command room.
"stand up!"
"Hello, Chief!"
"Hello, Chief!"
"Hello, Chief!"
..
As soon as Lu Chong entered the room, before the heat in the room could rush towards him, he heard the voices of many staff officers standing up and greeting him.
A rough count shows that this combat command room of less than 150 square meters accommodates more than 40 professional staff officers from various arms, including the infantry brigade, air assault brigade, and artillery brigade.
Not to mention the dozen or so sergeants who were responsible for uploading and issuing messages, drafting orders, serving tea and water, and other errands.
This is the Joint Staff Office that Lu Chong specially established for this joint operation!
"Sit down! Everyone, sit down!" Lu Chong waved his hand casually.
"I know that there are people from the military sub-district headquarters and people temporarily transferred from various units in this room, but no matter where they come from, we have only one goal during this period of time!"
"That means we have taken over the entire Jiangjin District beautifully!"
"Remember, I said beautifully! Because in my opinion, winning the fight doesn't count as winning. Only winning and fighting beautifully counts as qualified!"
"Everyone who knows me, Lu, knows that as long as you can complete it according to my standards, I will never let you down in terms of promotion and rewards!"
“I’m asking you now, do you have faith?”
As soon as the words fell, the entire combat command room instantly boiled over in the face of Lu Chong's naked promise.
Who wouldn't want to make progress if they were a staff officer transferred from the brigade-level units below?
"Yes! Yes!"
"Have confidence!"
"Report to Commander Lu, we are confident!"
...
"Okay, very spirited!"
Seeing such high morale, Lu Chong nodded with satisfaction, and then, accompanied by the director of the Joint Staff Office, walked towards the huge map hanging in the staff headquarters.
ps: And, a little later
