Chapter 631 Railway Loading and Unloading
Huhuhu~
The cold wind was biting and the entire Zhanjiang Railway Freight Station seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of water vapor, and it was wet everywhere.
Even the sentry standing guard outside the station had a layer of fine water droplets on his coat.
It was so cold that the two sentinels’ gums were dancing in their mouths!
Inside the station
The motor hummed softly, and the bright warm yellow light was faint but firm, constantly dispelling the chill that was coming from all directions.
Looking down from the sky, the entire railway freight station looks like an electric lamp immersed in the cold.
buzz~
In the distance, a burst of dense diesel engine roars was heard, and military green trucks were looming in the water vapor.
zizi~
"Report to the company commander, the 1st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou has arrived!"
Picking up the walkie-talkie, the breath exhaled by the freight station sentry quickly blended with the humid air, forming white mist.
峚峚峚~
Soon, with the sound of brakes of a military transport vehicle, Zhao Jie, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou, jumped from the leading Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle and came to the sentry.
"Hello, Chief!"
Seeing the colonel rank on Zhao Jie's shoulder, the two sentries quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Hello!" Zhao Jie raised his hand in return.
"I am Zhao Jie, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou. Where is your stationmaster Xu?"
"Report to the commander, our stationmaster is leading people to clean up the special train. He has received the message and will be here soon!"
Hearing this, Zhao Jie waved his hand: "No need, lift the pole first to let us in, I'll go find him!"
"Yes!"
"Lift the pole!"
Under the operation of the sentry, the barrier was quickly raised. At the same time, Zhao Jie immediately ordered the accompanying staff officer:
"Order the entire brigade to immediately enter the freight station and load supplies, vehicles, and equipment according to the established plan!"
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the convoy parked outside the freight station started again, and like a long steel dragon, it rushed into the station with a chill all over its body.
Seeing this, Zhao Jie tugged at his military coat, and walked quickly into the station with two armed guards and a captain staff officer carrying a briefcase behind him.
As he left, Zhao Jie couldn't help but glance at the electronic temperature and humidity meter hanging on the sentry post.
Temperature: -1c
Humidity: 96%
"So wet? No wonder it feels like being soaked in water." Feeling the stickiness on his body, Zhao Jie couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Zhao Jie already knew about the mission of the 1st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou after returning to Ye Province, and understood that the entire brigade would be torn apart when they returned.
But Zhao Jie, or the entire 1st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou, had no objection to this mission.
Because whether it is traced back to the earliest militia, or the later Po Lu Corps, or the current Yezhou 1st Infantry Brigade, although the unit numbers have changed several times, the loyalty to the leader remains the same and unwavering!
...
As Zhao Jie and his men walked into the hall, a middle-aged man wearing metal-rimmed glasses came towards them. He was wearing a navy blue work suit and had a smile on his face.
"Commander Zhao, I'm sorry, there was a little trouble with the special train dispatch, so we're delayed!"
"What little trouble? Will it affect the troop dispatch?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Jie's tone instantly became alert.
"No, no, it's all been resolved! Please come this way. You've had a hard time coming here. I'll take you to the reception room for a cup of tea to warm yourself up." Stationmaster Xu Yong invited warmly.
Before the end of the world, Xu Yong was a small leader at Chongyi High-speed Railway Station. The reason why he can now sit in the position of stationmaster of Zhanjiang Railway Freight Station is all because his colleagues died early.
Also, because Xu Yong had lived through a long period of hard times when he was in the Chongyi gathering place, he cherishes his current job very much.
Although troops came and went at the railway freight station, he seldom came into contact with high-ranking leaders like Zhao Lei, so naturally he wanted to take this opportunity to build relationships.
"No, no! The mission is more important! I'd better go to the platform first!"
Zhao Jie waved his hand to refuse, although he was indeed very tired now. He had not rested since he received the order yesterday.
But he knew clearly what was more important and what was less important. No matter what, the leader's order always came first.
"Okay, okay, Chief Zhao is so serious and responsible despite his high position. I really admire him!"
"Please allow me to follow you and learn from your experience!"
After he finished speaking, Zhao Jie glanced at the webmaster Xu Yong with a strange look in his eyes, feeling very strange.
It feels so cool!
Zhao Jie was only 24 years old. Before the end of the world, he would have just graduated from college and was working hard as a slave.
But now, because of the end of the world and the leader, he has become a big shot in the eyes of others!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jie suppressed his smile and said calmly: "If Stationmaster Xu is not busy, I just happen to have something to ask you!"
Who says flatterers are bad? It's simply awesome!
This art of language and this ability to praise people are what Zhao Jie rarely encounters in the army. He is simply a calm artist.
"If Chief Zhao needs anything, I will tell you everything I know!" Xu Yong had a very flattering smile on his face.
If it was before the end of the world, Xu Yong would definitely feel disgusted when he saw himself now, but after experiencing the extreme material scarcity and precarious life in the end of the world, he eventually became the person he hated the most.
Dignity? That is for people in prosperous times, and I am just a dog in troubled times...
He wants nothing more than to make his family live a better life.
Led by the stationmaster Xu Yong, Zhao Jie and his party quickly arrived at the freight platform. Looking up, they saw that nearly 1 soldiers of the 5000st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou had begun loading supplies one after another.
Inside the freight station, military green transport trucks were neatly lined up next to the platform one after another. The roar of the engines and the bustling voices intertwined into a passionate song of winter and steel!
The soldiers were wearing desert-colored winter camouflage training uniforms, with "loyalty" armbands on their left arms and a uniquely shaped skull-breaking hammer hung around their waists.
This outfit is the symbol that distinguishes the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou from other troops. All soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade of Yezhou are proud to wear the "loyalty" armband and the skull-breaking hammer on their waists!
Because this symbolizes their infinite loyalty to their leader!
Nearly 5000 soldiers were spread out in the railway freight station like industrious ants, unloading equipment and supplies from military transport vehicles in an orderly manner with their skillful and quick movements.
Heavy backpacks, combat readiness packs, gun cabinets for storing guns, and all kinds of supplies were quickly passed between their arms.
On the platform, boxes of ammunition and supplies were quickly stacked into neat squares. The soldiers worked in pairs and cooperated tacitly to quickly move the supplies into the train cars.
Due to the humidity, slight water stains began to appear on the surface of some metal equipment, but they were quickly discovered and wiped clean by the careful soldiers.
Love equipment as you love life!
