Chapter 166: Great Retreat (Part 1)

When the convoy returned to Zhangshu Army Airport, the helicopters had already arrived. The twelve helicopters were intact and new, and their performance was in the best state. Xie Tian calculated in his mind that the four military-11s could be armed and made them real armed helicopters. However, missiles and air cannons were not available at hand. All they could do was to install the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine gun in the cabin and shoot through the cabin door. In addition, he could also carry several combat personnel.

As for the 8f with a load capacity of nearly four tons, each aircraft can transport twenty soldiers and have a load capacity of at least two shovels. Eight aircraft are loads of one hundred and sixteen tons. Although it is very small, if used to transport important materials, the amount of sixteen tons is still considerable, especially weapons, ammunition and important equipment.

The strength of Zhangshu Army Airport is gradually developing. In just one month, Pudong Airport was completely restored, and the survivors then began to restore Hongqiao Airport. In order to alleviate the current pressure on Zhangshu Army Airport, Xie Tian transferred some fighter jets to Shanghai Pudong Airport, where he rebuilt an air force base.

Just when Xie Tian was relieved, Yanjing was in crisis. Zombies in the northeast were approaching Yanjing on a large scale. According to the information provided by the defensive soldiers, the number of zombies was at least 16 million. At this moment, the front end of the zombie army had reached Chengde, and a large number of zombies in the northwest had also approached Yanjing from Hohhot, and the distance was only a few hundred kilometers.

Chairman Han specifically looked for Patton. He had already begun to consider the issue of evacuating Yanjing. As soon as he saw Patton, he spoke: "Original choice, can you start evacuating into Shanghai now?"

"Yes." Xie Tian nodded, but said reluctantly: "If you give up Yanjing like this, you will start over when you arrive in Shanghai. Most of the residential and industrial areas in Shanghai have not been restored, and the hardware facilities are far inferior to Yanjing."

"We have difficulty defending so many zombies approaching." Chairman Han said with some concern: "It will take at least half a month to retreat for seven million people to pass the railway. If we don't start retreating immediately, then it will be too late for the zombies to arrive in front of us and then retreat."

Xie Tian frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "What should I do if the important equipment of Yanjing is done? Let's start moving to Shanghai now?"

"We can start as soon as possible." Chairman Han said: "First transfer some survivors, then do our best to restore the living environment in Shanghai. At the same time, we must transport those important equipment and materials to Shanghai and find a suitable place in Shanghai again."

Xie Tian nodded helplessly, but said reluctantly: "My school has just started for a month, and I finally got on track..."

Chairman Han smiled and said, "The environment in Shanghai is not bad. Tongji University, Jiaotong University and Fudan University, you can use these schools. Anyway, Shanghai is a big city with a population of tens of millions, and we only have 8 million people in total. Even if we only survive in one city in Shanghai, there will be no pressure."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "Shanghai is full of zombies and damaged vehicles and buildings. I will first send some survivors to Shanghai to clean up the environment. At the movement speed of zombies, it will take at least ten days to reach the surrounding area of ​​Yanjing. There is still time."

"I'm afraid it's too late." Chairman Han asked, "How many people do you think your railway can transport to Shanghai with the maximum capacity every day?"

Xie Tian said lightly: "This is no problem with one million. Let me tell you this. If you have a heavy-load box car, one hundred vehicles, and each car can squeeze in two or three hundred people, this car can take away 20,000 to 30,000. Moreover, the railway is now direct to the railway. If the train does not slow down or stop, the train density can be kept at the maximum. It is easy to transport one million people every day. It is nothing more than a little wronged. "

"Then prepare for it." Chairman Han said: "Shanghai is so large, we must clear it out as soon as possible. I will give you a hundred thousand troops. You will bring one to two million survivors over to clean up the city of Shanghai and garrison important traffic intersections in Shanghai."

"Okay." Xie Tian said, "Since that's the case, from tomorrow, I will no longer send electricity and coal to Yanjing, but all of them will be sent to Shanghai."

Chairman Han nodded and sighed, "You go and do it. I want to take a break. Yanjing, we can't defend it anymore. I feel a little uncomfortable to give up this imperial city for several dynasties."

Xie Tian left Chairman Han, and immediately summoned several officers and ordered the first wave of retreat orders: "Organize 100,000 soldiers to arrive in Shanghai first, thoroughly eliminate the remaining zombies in Shanghai, and then organize 3,000 soldiers to go to the survivors' garrisons, which means that the government will recruit a large amount of labor, and all young and middle-aged people aged 20-40 can participate and go to Shanghai."

Xie Tian did not reveal the news that the zombies were approaching and wanted to give up Yanjing. There were so many survivors in the city. They have now begun to gradually adapt to the safe environment of Yanjing and have gradually returned to a peaceful life. If they suddenly become nervous, they don’t know how many uncontrollable events will happen.

However, it is also very good to take Shanghai as the development base, and its geographical location is much safer than Yanjing. Although it has lost the special history and identity of Yanjing, the Pudong New Area in Shanghai is basically a rectangle cut by the Huangpu River. If the population is concentrated there, it can not only rely on the river water for defense, but also has Pudong Airport, railway, dock, sea, land and air transportation, which are very convenient, and is definitely a good place.

The soldiers quickly issued the government's mobilization order. This was the largest recruitment of the government. The direct demand for as many as two million laborers. Moreover, the government promised treatment was 500 grams of raw rice, 50 grams of meat, and 30 grams of vegetables per person per day, which was quite rich, so recruiting two million people was not a problem at all. In a very short time, these two million people were already in place.

Yanjing South Station began to get busy again, and the locomotive drivers began to arrange a large number of trains to transport a large number of survivors to Shanghai. Starting from 7 o'clock that night, each train carrying nearly 30,000 people started to depart from Yanjing South Station. Every twenty minutes, the hourly capacity was 80,000. Xie Tian prohibited anyone from carrying any luggage and items. Except for some personal food supplies, nothing else is allowed, because Shanghai's supplies are larger than Yanjing, and there are also many housing. Everything can be solved in Shanghai.

A large number of people began to set off for Shanghai. Xie Tian controlled Patton to send people in Yanjing. Xie Tian, ​​who was rushing to Shanghai, began to arrange and coordinate the arrival of survivors. The first thing to be cleaned up was the Pudong New Area. Every time a group of people arrived, Xie Tian asked them to rest for a day and immediately started to clean up. A large number of transport vehicles were driven to Pudong New Area. The zombies were basically filled with a whole truck and then they were directly pulled to Chongming Island by truck, and then burned with gasoline. The damaged vehicles were also pulled here, and Chongming Island became the garbage station in the new Shanghai.

"Brother Xie." Li Xiaohe was transferred to Shanghai by Xie Tian to do coordination and management work. Two days after she took over the work, she found Xie Tian and said: "There are too many survivors. We have not had enough supervision and insufficient staff. Many survivors secretly ran out to find supplies. Many have occurred in the past two days. The survivors of accidental deaths have reached more than 100."

Xie Tian asked with some headaches: "Let the soldiers guard every bridgehead and not let anyone leave the Pudong New Area at will. In addition, you should warn those survivors that after the work is done, we will inspect their temporary housing and confiscate all the materials that cannot explain the origin. I think they are still interested in running out to take the risk of finding supplies."

"This workload will be very large." Li Xiaohe blurted out: "How can we search for so many survivors who have almost half of their houses in Pudong New Area?"

"It's just a threat." Xie Tian said, "As long as they believe it, the supplies they found cannot be put into their pockets in the end, and they will no longer have any ideas of taking risks."

"Okay." Li Xiaohe nodded and said, "Then I'll do it now."

Although two million laborers have arrived in Shanghai, there are still more than five million people in Beijing. These people are still migrating to Shanghai one after another. Xie Tian arranged these people near the Hongqiao Hub to clean up the Hongqiao Hub.

Hongqiao is still dozens of kilometers away from Pudong Airport, and Shanghai's Metro Transportation Line 2 can connect these two places, and the subway capacity is very large. Thinking that Yanjing has resumed subway transportation, Xie Tian found some people who had worked in the subway to inquire about the work needed to open Line 2.

Xie Tian and several staff members entered Line 2 to check the situation. Line 2 can be said to be in a mess at this moment. The bodies, limbs, etc. inside have already rotted to the extreme, but there is no problem with the hardware facilities. After investigation, the staff concluded that: First, the power supply of the subway must be restored and sufficient guarantees must be provided. After all, the power, lighting, ventilation and dispatch of the subway system all rely on electricity; second, a large number of personnel must be sent to clean the environment in the subway. As for hardware equipment, they can shoulder various responsibilities.

Xie Tian suddenly felt that professional talents were stretched. He wanted to open the entire Shanghai Waigaoqiao Power Plant, but the large-scale equipment of the power plant needed professional personnel to operate and maintain. However, Xie Tian could not find so many power talents at all now, and was extremely anxious. However, talents were not allowed to come just by saying that they could come. Xie Tian was anxious and simply selected more than a thousand people from the survivors and sent them to the power plant as apprentices. Each experienced employee was responsible for leading five to ten apprentices and striving to train a group of people who could help as soon as possible. In this way, some professional power personnel could be withdrawn and restored to Waigaoqiao Power Plant.

Yanjing is still continuously transporting population and various equipment to Shanghai. The production base of Northern Industrial Group has been dismantled and all of them are sent to Yanjing South Station for loading and transporting to Shanghai. The doctors at Union Hospital have also begun to transfer patients, medical equipment, medicines and supplies. The school is still in class. Xie Tian does not want these children and teachers to participate in the retreat in a panic. At that time, passenger vehicles will be provided to these people and transport them to Shanghai in an orderly manner.

Zombies are still getting closer. In order to delay the speed of zombies, Xie Tian sent bombers from Yanjing to bomb the zombies closest to Yanjing. The fire and huge damage generated by napalm bombs significantly slowed down the speed of approaching Yanjing, and bought some time for Yanjing's retreat again.

As the large-scale retreat did not stop for several days, the survivors also guessed that the country was going to withdraw all its population to the south. In the eyes of survivors who did not know the zombie dynamics, moving to Shanghai was a good thing, so there was no riot for a while. Only more than a dozen scholars went to Zhongnanhai to petition and knelt at the door to beg Chairman Han for his reception.

Xie Tian and Chairman Han have been busy with various matters of the retreat these days. Both of them did not take the scholars' petition seriously. After all, now is a critical moment, and anyone can tell which one is more important. Xie Tian really couldn't think of any important things for a few scholars to come to petition. However, after learning that the scholars knelt in front of Zhongnanhai for a night, he had to instruct the guards to take those people to the living room of Zhongnanhai, and only gave them twenty minutes.

As soon as more than a dozen scholars entered the door, they immediately knelt down in front of Xie Tian, ​​which made Xie Tian feel very troubled. He hurriedly helped the other party up one by one and said, "Everyone, can you say something well? You don't say a word, and kneel down when you come. Who can stand this situation?"

"Commander Qin." An old man in his sixties begged: "We have retreated a lot. We have given up Yanjing, a city with a long history, but we must not give up Yanjing's cultural relics! There are so many ethnic treasures in the Palace Museum, and you must find a way to take all these things away. This is the root and soul of the nation!"

Xie Tian said with some amusement and cry: "Everyone, our retreat is to avoid zombies, not to avoid invaders. Zombies only eat people and not cultural relics. Could it be that you are still afraid that they will push down the *** city tower when they come?"

"But those things are the cultural crystallization of our nation over thousands of years. If we cannot take them away, if we don't have the opportunity to go back to Yanjing in the future, what is the difference between those cultural relics and those lost? Please Commander Qin, please find a way to bring all these cultural relics to Shanghai. If our descendants ask about it in the future, there will be some explanation!"

"Yes!" an older old man blurted out: "Duke Chiang...oh no, when Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, he tried his best to take away a large number of cultural relics. Chiang Kai-shek could do anything, so we must not take it seriously!"
