Chapter 22: Preparing for the Move

Only children make decisions. As for Li Fei, he is rich and powerful, and is not under any pressure at all and can arrange everything.

"Recruit a Guard Platoon: Consumes 5200 gold + 1 point, total 34 people, including a Platoon Leader. At first, they carry a set of individual equipment, equipped with 3 RPD light machine guns, 12 barrels of ammunition, and 3000 rounds. Responsible for the security of the battalion headquarters and important military units."

 "Engineer Team Recruitment: Cost 7,000 gold + 1 point, Platoon-level organization, 34 people in total, including 1 leader. Can perform tasks such as clearing obstacles, surveying, road maintenance, building simple buildings and small-scale blasting. Initially, carry 1 M-1911 pistol, 4 magazines with 40 rounds of ammunition. Equipped with 1 set of clearing obstacles, sweeping mines, surveying tools and 20 detonators." 

"Discipline Patrol Team: Cost 4,800 gold + 1 point, Platoon-level organization, 34 people in total, including 1 leader. Initially each carries a set of individual equipment. Responsible for the discipline patrol for the entire battalion and the survivors in the base." 

 "Logistics Support Team: Consumes 14,800 gold + 1 point, platoon-level organization, 34 people in total, including one team leader. Each team will initially carry a set of individual equipment. The team is equipped with 10 giant rhinoceros military trucks, responsible for transporting personnel and supplies, salvaging the battlefield, and building and maintaining rear engineering facilities."

After spending 41,800 gold + 4 points to fully recruit personnel, Li Fei then spent another 27,000 gold + 3 points to form a light machine gun platoon, a heavy machine gun platoon, and a mortar platoon as heavy firepower units directly under the battalion headquarters. Feeling that the vehicles were not enough, he spent another 27,000 gold to purchase 7 mammoths and 20 giant rhinoceroses for use by the battalion.

At this point, the 1st Battalion was officially fully staffed. The total number of troops was 994 personnel of various types, 25 huge armed military vehicles, and 60 giant Renault military trucks, which definitely constituted a reinforced battalion. As for the firepower, it was more than enough to deal with zombies below Level 5 and ordinary small groups. After some calculations, the total cost of the entire battalion was 276,900 gold + 147 points. Li Fei couldn't help but feel afraid. This was the cost of recruitment, not to mention the daily expenses and recruitment losses. No wonder people often said that war was a waste of money.

Then, the Chinese elite forces expanded into a company. The company commander, deputy company commander, machine gun team, mortar team and other personnel were arranged, and of course the vehicles were indispensable, which cost 75400 + 44 more points.

Take a look at the board.

There are so many people now, that's enough for now. We can't spend all the money. We'll have to spend the money on construction when we reach the new base in a few days. So let's keep it now.

In a few days, Li Fei has transformed from a dying teenager into a warlord with over a thousand armed men. He is now full of pride and satisfaction.

 "Although my strength is not as strong as the Central Army and the Government Bureau, I, old master, have never considered you as my rivals, because my potential is beyond your imagination. You are all my brothers."

Instructor Chu Yong came to find Li Fei and said to him: "Captain, the survivors have been resettled. There are more than 600 people in total, and they are all willing to go with us. Their identity information has been recorded." After saying that, he asked a soldier behind him to put down a thick stack of forms.

Looking at the many forms, Li Fei's mouth twitched. "The computer is the best. I have never seen such a number of paper forms in my life."

"Please keep these things in your camp first and give them to me when we arrive at the new camp." Li Fei hurriedly asked him to take them away. Are you kidding? What's the point of leaving these things with me? They are so difficult that I can't even wipe my butt.

"You've arrived just in time. Call Jerry too. I have something to discuss with you." He told me again.

After a while, Jerry entered the house.

"We now have sufficient military strength. There shouldn't be any problem in capturing the residential area and the commercial street before tomorrow night, right?" Li Fei looked at the two of them.

"No problem, Captain, I'll complete the mission." Jerry immediately replied.

"Well, I plan to leave this place tomorrow night and move to the Logistics Park in the north first, then choose a suitable place to build a new camp in the area between the Logistics Park and Songshan in the north. What do you think?"

"I think there's no problem with the direction of transportation and the location of the new camp, but… Captain, why did you choose to move at night?" Jerry wondered about the time.

Li Fei didn't take it as an insult, but asked the two of them to discuss the matter because he wasn't sure if his plan could be carried out. After all, he didn't know anything about marching and fighting.

 "There are three reasons: 1. The zombies' ability to move at night is weak, and we are relatively safe with the protection of the vehicles; 2. We now have more than 2,000 people and hundreds of vehicles. I'm not sure if there are other forces along the way, and I don't want people to notice us; 3. We set off in the second half of the night and calculated the time to reach the logistics park at dawn, so that we would have enough time to take control of the place." Li Fei expressed his thoughts.

 "Captain, I think you're very worried. First of all, we now have more than 1,000 armed men and hundreds of vehicles. Even if we go out during the day, we're not afraid of zombies. Even if we encounter animal zombies, we're not afraid. There are no big monsters in the city, so we can kill as many small animals as possible.

Secondly, we don't know the road and the terrain along the way. If we encounter unexpected situations such as road damage or enemy attacks during night marches, our ability to respond will be greatly reduced, and we may suffer casualties.

Moreover, with our current strength, even if there are other forces stationed in the park, they can't be our opponent. Moreover, the park is so large that it's impossible for us to completely control it in one day, so it doesn't make much difference whether we arrive in the morning or at noon." Jerry analyzed them one by one to Li Fei.

Li Fei couldn't help but sigh, saying that anyone from the outside really can't control the insiders. If they did what he said and moved at night, there might actually be casualties.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Then tell me how to arrange it." Li Fei immediately accepted the advice.

Jerry had already planned. When he mentioned the transportation plan to Li in the afternoon meeting, he began to think about this matter. Putting the team leader's affairs as a top priority was Jerry's credo in life. Look, the opportunity has come.

"We are not familiar with the route. I found a map of Songjiang County and planned a main road and two backup roads for two days. In addition, there are two taxi drivers and a truck driver among the survivors. They are very familiar with the local roads. When the time comes, we will arrange them in the front few cars to make sure the route is correct.

On the way, two reinforced platoons were sent forward to take turns scouting the road and clearing it of zombies. The main force remained 3 kilometers away from them, and another platoon was arranged to cover the rear. All vehicles should line up in a single line, with a distance of at least 50 meters between them, so that even if they are attacked suddenly, the casualties can be reduced to a certain extent;

If we encounter a large-scale attack, we will build fortifications on the site. As long as there are no heavy weapons such as tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft, we are confident that we can resist the enemy's attack even if the enemy sends 5,000 people.

After reaching the logistics area, we will first occupy area A1. No matter who They, they will be expelled. We must completely control Area A1 and then gradually occupy the entire logistics area."

As Jerry finished explaining one thing after another, he shouted to me in his heart, "See? This is what we call professionalism." When I look at myself, I find that I am only planning a spring trip without thinking about anything.

"Okay, let's implement your plan. I will leave this matter to you. We will set off the day after tomorrow morning."
