Chapter 309 The Rebels Join
On January 23, amidst a large welcome from the people of Dawn City, Lei Qingcheng led over ten thousand rebels and ordinary citizens to join the city. Various departments then began operations, striving to complete the resettlement work in the shortest possible time. Previously, to ensure everyone's comfort and to meet various needs, Li Chenglong had limited the population of Dawn City to 300,000. Now, with the addition of Lei Qingcheng's ten thousand-plus members, the total population is 220,000, which is relatively affluent.
Over the next two days, Dawn City convened a series of meetings, including the Dawn City People's Congress, the Dawn City General Committee, the Dawn City People's Congress, and the Dawn Army Military Conference. These meetings truly put Lei Qingcheng and the others at ease. Compared to some of the dictatorial bases they had encountered, Dawn City was infinitely better.
On the afternoon of January 25th, all meetings officially concluded. The meetings resulted in a mutually satisfactory resettlement for the newly joined resistance fighters and civilians; some capable individuals were assigned to various departments in Dawn City. However, the most crucial event was the establishment of the 4th Division of the Dawn Army.
To adapt to this year's battles, Li Chenglong proposed streamlining the army and administration, resulting in changes to all divisions except the 4th Division. The Dawn Army Military Conference decided that the Dawn Army would consist of 4 divisions, each with 6 regiments, each regiment with 1500 men. Including headquarters, guard companies, guard platoons, and other units, the total number of men would be around 11000, 2000 fewer than before.
There were no major changes to the leadership of the various divisions; everyone was performing quite well, and Li Chenglong was relatively satisfied. The commander of the 4th Division of the Dawn Army was Lei Qingcheng; the deputy commander was Bao Yongjian; the political commissar was Song Tie; the chief of staff was Chen Kang; and the director of the political department was Dong Meng. Jin Mengqi, a level 9 wind-type speed-type ability user from the Resistance Army, joined the special forces team according to her own wishes.
The biggest promotion this time was to Dong Meng, who was transferred by Li Chenglong from instructor of the special operations team to director of the political department of the 4th Division. However, he seemed somewhat reluctant, as he was a veteran of the special operations team, having been there since its inception and fighting alongside so many brothers and sisters for so long, developing very deep bonds with them. Nevertheless, Dong Meng said he would definitely play his part in his new position and do his best.
Zhou Qiang, Ge Wenhui, and the others initially felt that as level 10 ability users, they could hold high-ranking positions in the Dawn Army. However, after gaining a deeper understanding of the Dawn Army, they discovered that many level 10 ability users were serving as regimental commanders, and there were many others stronger than them, so they didn't say much. The Dawn Army doesn't have a brigade level; above the regiment is the division, which is for better command and easier combat operations.
As the Dawnbreaker Army expanded in Dawn City, its military districts were divided into several. The first district, located in the northwest corner of Dawn City, houses the 1st Dawnbreaker Division. The second district, currently in the southeast corner of Dawn City, is home to the 2nd Dawnbreaker Division, with the Dawn City Air Force and the Dawnbreaker Rocket Regiment to its north (from west to east). The third district, near the south gate of Dawn City, is where the 3rd Dawnbreaker Division is stationed.
In addition to these three combat military zones, there is also a comprehensive military zone. The army headquarters, equipment and logistics department, information support troops, guard battalion, and other units are all located here. It is situated 5km south of the Shuguang Building. While not very large, it is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities and houses a considerable number of personnel, totaling 6000 across several units. Under Li Chenglong's arrangement, the 4th Division of the Tears of the City is stationed 1km north of the Shuguang City gate, where existing facilities are readily available for immediate deployment.
The day after their deployment, Qin Fangyu, the head of the Equipment Support Department, arrived at the 4th Division's location with a group of people, primarily to deliver weapons and equipment. While the Lei Qingcheng troops were quite capable, that was only because their superhuman fighters were highly skilled. In reality, due to supply difficulties, their ordinary soldiers were poorly equipped. Yesterday, Li Chenglong, seeing their predicament, spoke with Qin Fangyu about sending them a batch of supplies.
Lei Qingcheng was surprised that the supplies could be provided so quickly. She chatted with Qin Fangyu for a long time, and laughter could be heard from the office from time to time. After a while, an officer from the Equipment and Logistics Department came in with a list of military supplies to be delivered. Lei Qingcheng took it and saw that it listed 3000 Type 20 Crystal Rifles, 20 rounds of Crystal Ammunition, 50 rounds of Ordinary Ammunition, 3000 Crystal Swords, 100 Type 11 Killer Crystal Machine Guns, and 6000 sets of new winter military uniforms.
Li Qingshuang smiled and said, "Commander, the supplies have been handed over completely, and nothing is missing." Lei Qingcheng nodded and thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt Qin, for sending so many supplies so quickly. It has solved our urgent problem." Qin Fangyu said, "From now on, we are all comrades of the Dawn Army. There's no need to be so polite. This is only the first batch of supplies. New weapons such as energy rifles and energy lightsabers will be delivered later."
The two chatted for a while longer, but Qin Fangyu had work to do, so she left first. Lei Qingcheng and Li Qingshuang went to several large military warehouses together. Looking at the various supplies filling the warehouses, she smiled and said, "Commander Li has treated us so kindly, we can't be ungrateful. From now on, we will always be members of the Dawn Army, fighting for Dawn City and the Dawn Army. Qingshuang, have the logistics department of the division start distributing the supplies."
Then the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments came and processed their identity cards. Officers at the company level and above were also given free crystal phones. Shen Menghua also came and explained to Lei Qingcheng and the others the rules for Dawn City's Production Zone 2 to provide military equipment to the Dawn Army, and also told them about the Level 5 virus immunity vaccine. Lei Qingcheng was stunned; she hadn't expected the benefits of joining the Dawn Army to be so good. No wonder so many people were scrambling to join Dawn City and the Dawn Army.
在泪倾城加入后，李成龙来到中央电脑室，莉莉丝为他通报了最新的曙光城人员情况。目前曙光城总人口22155人，其中16至50岁人口15447人。各级异能者共6452人，其中11级觉醒者两人、10级异能者62人、9级异能者184人、8级异能者655人。因为觉醒者也算是异能者的一种，所以莉莉丝一般公布数据的时候，统称为异能者。
Li Chenglong finally felt more confident. The Dawn Army's combat strength was constantly improving. Currently, with four combat divisions and several other combat units, the total number of troops had reached 52,000, enough to truly fight a tough battle. Several bases with good relations with Dawn City, such as Qianyun Base and Feiyun Base, sent congratulatory telegrams to Dawn City after the resistance army joined.
General Chen Guoqiang smiled and said to Li Chenglong, "You now have four divisions, why not just set them up as two armies? Why is it still one army? I remember when headquarters gave you Shuguang City two army designations, right?" Li Chenglong replied that the current operating model was still acceptable. If another army were set up, he would definitely have to be promoted one rank, which would actually be detrimental to commanding battles.
