Chapter 167: Great Retreat (Part 2)

Xie Tian's hearing was very sharp. Although he heard what the mother and son said when they bit their ears for a distance, he felt funny. Zhao Ziye, a girl, was very relaxed on the bed, but when she arrived in front of others, she immediately couldn't do it.

Xie Tian walked up and asked, "Auntie, is it okay all the way?"

"It's okay." Zhao Ziye's mother looked at Xie Tian, ​​smiled with satisfaction, and said, "The first class cabin was arranged, and I was still sleeping on the plane for a while." Then, she looked at Xie Tian again carefully. The more she looked at Xie Tian, ​​the happier she was for her daughter. In such a chaotic world, I heard that many good women would even sleep with men of all kinds of ancestral families for a bowl of rice. Who can be as convinced as her daughter? In the end of the world, she also found such an excellent boy. She is a good man from a hundred, regardless of appearance, temper, and ability.

Zhao Ziye held his mother with her smile and said, "Mom, thank you, you have chosen a hotel along the river for us. We stayed in Shanghai when we were traveling with my father!"

"Is it Shangri-La?" Zhao Ziye's mother asked with some joy.

"Yes." Zhao Ziye thought of his father, sighed with some melancholy, and said, "We will stay in Shangri-La Hotel in the future."

Zhao Ziye's mother nodded, patted Zhao Ziye's back, and said, "Let's go, take mom to see. I haven't been to Shanghai for several years."

Xie Tian opened the rear door of the car and asked Zhao Ziye to sit in with her mother. He hurried into the cab and drove back to the hotel. The Shangri-La Hotel is now arranged for military families to live in except for the floor where Xie Tian is. After all, the most respectable thing now is the soldiers. The best treatment for military families can also bring great comfort to the soldiers.

Xie Tian brought Zhao Ziye and his daughter to a smaller suite opposite their room. Zhao Ziye's mother was very satisfied with the environment here. She immediately agreed to live here and there was a kitchen. Zhao Ziye's mother smiled and said, "I will do nothing in the future, and I will cook for you at home."

"Mom." Zhao Ziye said to his mother: "You don't have to make anything. There are special people to do the meal, including cleaning, so you can live here well. When you have nothing to do, I will accompany you to take a look at the Bund. Pudong New Area is very safe now."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "Auntie, today and tomorrow, the soldiers will start to garrison all the river bridges. Safety is absolutely guaranteed. In addition, in order to prevent survivors from looting, all shopping malls are under the control of the military. If you and Zi Ye Xian are bored, you can go shopping in the mall and get whatever you like. No one will charge you money."

"Yes." Zhao Ziye said excitedly: "That's the best in the end of the world. Mom, why don't we go down and go for a walk?"

Zhao Ziye's mother also smiled and said, "Okay, my mother hasn't gone shopping for a long time anyway. Let's go and have a good time."

...

After settling down on Zhao Ziye's mother, the retreat work in Yanjing at this moment has been completed by 80%. In order to maintain order, Patton did not let the children in the school retreat with their parents, but specially arranged passenger train carriages to take these children to Shanghai. The campus of Fudan University has prepared for these children, and they can start classes after they get there. After the children with parents have settled down and obtained their own houses, they will naturally go to the school to pick up their own children.

These children are very obedient. They only regard this retreat as a group trip. Under the guidance of their respective teachers, they packed up their schoolbags and took military vehicles to Yanjing South Station. Here, one class and one class enter the station and board the train. The train will start after confirming that no child has been missed.

Xie Tian controlled Patton to drive to Yanjing Station. The equipment of the Northern Industrial Group had already loaded dozens of trains here. The carriages were all hung up and the things were almost installed. The rest was that after the army finally withdrew, the supplies and equipment were then arrived in Shanghai.

After Xie Tian checked the situation of the two stations, he hurried to Zhongnanhai. When he saw Chairman Han, he said, "Dad, you should evacuate as soon as possible. It is best tonight. The district government over there has been cleaned up. After the temporary military commission has passed, we will work there first. As for where you live, considering your health, I asked someone to clean up a good room for you in the resort hotel next to the district government. The environment is still very quiet and elegant. Although it is not as good as Zhongnanhai, it is also quite good."

Chairman Han sighed and said, "Okay, I'll ask the crew members to prepare and set off tomorrow morning to retreat to Shanghai."

Xie Tian nodded. Although he had no real relatives with Chairman Han, after getting along with him through Patton these days, he did find that this was a very rare old man. He was proficient in power, but he fought for power not for himself, but for real concern for the people and caring for the future of this country and nation. Xie Tian also admired and respected him from the bottom of his heart.

"How many people and equipment in Yanjing are still not retreating now?" Chairman Han asked.

Xie Tian replied: "There are still more than 100,000 troops on the personnel who have not retreated. The other survivors have retreated and can all arrive in Shanghai tomorrow. Most of the young and middle-aged laborers will be arranged to clean up Shanghai, and the cleaning speed will be significantly accelerated."

Immediately, Xie Tian said: "As for equipment and equipment, food and supplies, all the food and supplies have been transported away. Some weapons and equipment such as ground armored vehicles in the army have not been transported away yet. Tomorrow, we will prepare to transport these weapons and equipment back first. In this way, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the soldiers can be withdrawn."

"Yeah." The old man nodded and said, "Then if we do this, will we still keep the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway?"

"Stay." Xie Tian said without hesitation: "As long as we guard Shanghai and these survivors, the number of zombies will not increase. Even if these zombies can sleep deeply without starving to death, each killing will be one less permanently. In this way, sooner or later, we can kill all the zombies across the country. At that time, we can return to the north through the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway and return to Yanjing."

"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "Now, you have to think carefully about the issue of military deployment."

"What?" Xie Tian said: "I haven't considered this issue carefully yet. What do you think?"

The old man took a map and pointed to Shanghai and said, "First of all, since we retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, it is essential to bomb the entire Yangtze River bridge. In this way, the defense pressure in Shanghai is much smaller. Pudong New Area is in the southeast corner. What we need to defend is the north and west. The north is a key defense, because from the river along the Nanjing area to Shanghai, it is impossible to have no zombies within such a large range. I believe that not only have, but also the number will not be very small. Therefore, the north is the key defense point. As for the west, the southwest zombies can directly advance eastward. In this way, the Yangtze River natural danger will no longer play a role. The west side is the top priority of defense. However, considering that there are camphor trees as buffers, the west side of Shanghai does not need to be very strong. The focus should be on the west side of the Zhangshu Army Airport."

Xie Tian nodded, but he didn't expect that the old man was so meticulous that he could even consider every link. He said, "Then let's focus on defending these two directions."

The old man smiled slightly and said, "When we arrive in Shanghai, you can take charge of the arrangements."

"OK."

...

There were more than 1,700 remaining tanks, armored personnel carriers and other military vehicles in the army, which required at least twenty trains to complete. Therefore, after Chairman Han and other members of the Military Commission took off for Shanghai the next morning, Xie Tian asked the remaining troops stationed in Yanjing to drive all the military vehicles to Yanjing South Station and Yanjing Station, and the two stations were loaded at the same time.

A member of the Military Commission who left to assist Xie Tian said, "You are the first to choose, these cars have been transported away. How can the soldiers retreat after returning? Let's leave a part for them."

Xie Tian said, "It's okay, let's take away all these useful military vehicles first. As for how soldiers retreat at that time, there are so many vehicles, buses, and long-distance buses in Yanjing that can transport them from the surrounding area to the station. If all military vehicles have left early, these soldiers can board the bus and leave as long as they arrive in Yanjing. But if they finally take the military vehicles to retreat, if the time is fast and there is no time to take away so many military vehicles, it will be a loss for us. When we arrive in Shanghai, the defense power by land is also very important."

"Okay." The committee member nodded. He was a follower of Chairman Han. Since Xie Tian said that, he had no objection and said: "Zombies can enter Yanjing from the northeast in at most three days, and zombies from the northwest will not arrive in more than four days. So we have plenty of time. If we can transport all the military equipment today, then we can withdraw the last batch of soldiers tomorrow."

Xie Tian said, "Since there are three days left, let's see how many useful materials there are in Yanjing that have not been taken away."

"All the things that can be taken away have been taken away," the committee member said, "The rest are the things that cannot be taken away at the moment."

"Look at it." Xie Tian said lightly: "I will take a team of soldiers everywhere. If you find something useful, take it with you. If you don't have it, forget it."

The situation in Yanjing at this time was indeed as the temporary military committee member said. Almost all the useful and able to move were moved away. Some things in Yanjing will not be lacking in Shanghai, such as ordinary vehicles, ordinary industries, etc., and even many heavy industries are much stronger than Yanjing. Baosteel is an example. Xie Tian did not find any good things, they were nothing but some sporadic food supplies.

The next day, various vehicles from the surrounding army drove to Yanjing Station and Yanjing South Station. The internal combustion locomotives that had been prepared had dragged long flat car wands and loaded the military vehicles onto the flat car one by one. After fixing them, they drove to Shanghai. The next day, the last soldiers in Yanjing were withdrawn. While the zombies had not yet approached, they boarded the train in the shortest time. More than 40 passenger trains brought more than 100,000 soldiers back to Shanghai one after another. At this point, Yanjing turned into an empty city, with no one or any zombies.

Xie Tian controlled Patton to arrive in Shanghai and immediately began to arrange garrison tasks, convening all school-level officers to hold a meeting at the district government. Chairman Han also attended the meeting. All of these officers knew it well. When they arrived in Shanghai, they naturally had to arrange garrison tasks in Shanghai after Kai died.

"We have not reorganized the more than 200,000 troops so far. Let's do this. Let's first place two thousand men as a regiment and draw out one hundred defensive regiments. These hundred defensive regiments are responsible for the garrison tasks. As for the remaining ones, they are divided into sixteen regiments, and two regiments are responsible for the temporary military commission station and military district station. Then two regiments form a transportation corps, which are specifically responsible for the railway security from Shanghai to Jiangxi. Once materials are mobilized between the two places, soldiers must be escorted to protect the safety."

Everyone else nodded and agreed. It would be easier to manage and mobilize if the reorganization was made. As for what each group should do, these were decided by Xie Tian.

"For the remaining twelve regiments, two regiments are responsible for mobile posts in the city of Shanghai to maintain order in the safe zone, while the other ten are specifically responsible for protecting surrounding agricultural personnel and ensuring that agricultural development can continue smoothly."

Immediately, Xie Tian began the garrison arrangement. Thirty-five regiments were stationed in the northern suburbs of Shanghai, and sixty regiments were stationed in the west of Zhangshu. Both places were stationed by air forces, which increased the large-scale lethality and rapid maneuverability, which was a very significant enhancement for defense. The remaining five defensive regiments defended the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge of the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, as well as all bridges on the Huangpu River that could lead to Pudong New Area.

Chairman Han had no objection to Xie Tian’s arrangements. He basically distributed them according to his own ideas, focusing on the defense of the west. After all, there is no danger to defend in the west, and other officers had no objection, expressing his absolute obedience to the arrangements of the Provisional Military Commission.

Almost ninety percent of armored vehicles and heavy equipment were arranged to the defensive regiments, and as for other regiments, there was little demand for these equipment.

...

More than 7 million refugees gathered in Shanghai, and their arrangements were also a very cumbersome process. Xie Tian asked Li Xiaohe and other staff to be responsible for the distribution in an inward-out manner. Pudong New District can only arrange at most two million survivors to live in, and the rest will be evenly distributed to other nearby areas. As for the work of these people, they need to be assigned and arranged slowly.

In order to strengthen the management of survivors, it has relieved Shanghai's transportation, Xie Tian ordered that all non-military private cars be restricted from going on the road privately. In other words, Xie Tian temporarily controlled the private cars in Shanghai. If a private car wants to go on the road, he must obtain the pass permit issued by the temporary Military Commission. It is not easy to get the pass permit. First, you must prove your demand for private cars and reasonable reasons. In addition, you must obtain the pass permit after obtaining the pass certificate from senior workers.

Xie Tian divided the survivors of the temporary Military Commission into three types, namely junior workers, intermediate workers and senior workers. Junior workers are the most basic workers. As for intermediate workers, they are workers who already have certain skills but have not yet produced sufficient abilities in their fields. Senior workers are those high-end talents in various fields.

Some people expressed some dissatisfaction and doubts about this, believing that there are a large number of cars idle now, which can almost ensure that every two people can have one car. Since there are so many vehicles, why should we restrict the use of cars?

Xie Tian's answer to this is: Restricting ordinary people to drive is of great help to Shanghai's transportation. First of all, the opening of buses can solve people's travel problems. In addition, workers nowadays have their own jobs, and employees in each job are basically arranged to live near their jobs, and they can't even use buses. As for those who don't have a job and rely on subsistence allowances to make a living, they are even more unable to let them drive casually. Otherwise, they will compete for luxury cars all over the streets, and even drive luxury cars around the world idle, so the situation will be difficult to control.

Nowadays, people with private cars have a much higher status in the safety zone. This will also inspire other survivors to work hard and strive to get a chance to drive a private car for themselves.

Of course, for Xie Tian, ​​this is a way to completely stabilize the situation in the initial stage. As the situation becomes more and more stable, he will naturally gradually open up restrictions on private cars.

...

After the electricity personnel in Yanjing retreated, Xie Tian immediately opened the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Power Plant. Shanghai's industrial electricity and residential electricity were guaranteed, but the industry did not really improve. It was nothing more than the aviation fuel production line that started working. However, because the workers were not skilled enough, the current actual production volume did not even reach one-tenth of the production line design production volume.

The power supply was temporarily sufficient, so Xie Tian himself found several experts to meet in the business conference hall of Shangri-La Hotel. Xie Tian found three aspects of the experts this time, first: TV media, second: wired telephone communication, and third: wireless telephone communication.
