70.Chapter 70: It's Raining
CHAPTER XXXI
The fierce fighting lasted five days, during which time the military lost dozens of helicopters and more than a dozen artillery pieces, all of which were damaged by overheating and forced use of the guns. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In addition, more than 4,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and seventeen of the city wall defense lines were breached, among which the most dangerous mutated living corpses climbed over the corpse mountain among ordinary living corpses, broke through a company's defense zone and rushed down the city wall, and even the high-voltage power grid in the outer city under the city wall was destroyed.
If it weren't for the fact that an armored division guarding the inner city was brought out in advance for reinforcements because of the fierce fighting, they used more than ten infantry vehicles and combat vehicles to form a fire network to seal off this breached defense area, and then a regiment of the reserve counterattacked this defense area regardless of casualties, and the consequences were unimaginable.
Five days of intense fighting were almost devastating, but this kind of fighting, regardless of the loss of ammunition, the damage of helicopters, and the loss of artillery regiments, consumed a lot of living corpses outside Los Angeles. The five-day battle is expected to wipe out more than a million living corpses, and the crowd of corpses surrounding Los Angeles is much more sparse to the naked eye.
The total length of the city wall of Los Angeles is about sixty kilometers, and the number of living corpses needed to surround such a small city is also astronomical, and millions of living corpses have been wiped out in such a large area, and it will take time for the corpses to continue to wage a high-intensity war throughout the entire city wall defense area. The high-intensity war came to a halt after five days.
"Sir, this is an order from the City Wall Guard Department, please confirm the signature!" said an officer with the rank of sergeant and a group of soldiers climbed the city wall and walked to Mo Bei, who was sitting on the ground, and saluted. Wang Jie lay on his back in the military station, and after the last group of corpses that rushed up was eliminated, he lay in the military station and fell asleep.
Mo Bei raised his hand and wanted to salute and sign the order, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, so he could only helplessly show a wry smile to the sergeant. The soldiers looked at the group of people in the independent company with admiration, fear, and a hint of excitement in their eyes. The independent company's defense area has always been the place where the fighting was fiercest during these five days, and the independent company lost 65 soldiers in the five days of fighting, and the battle loss ratio was close to 50 percent, so the city wall guard department added the independent company to the list of priority guards.
There are more than 60,000 soldiers fighting here at the same time for 60 kilometers in the city wall defense area, and the military simply does not have so many soldiers who can change their defenses at the same time, so they can only give priority to changing the defense areas of those companies with high losses in fierce battles.
"You sign it for me, Mo Bei, stuff it into my arms!" Mo Bei said to the sergeant with a wry smile. Without this order to change guards, the independent company could not enter the outer city at all, and if it did not have an order, it would be a deserter to evacuate the war zone without permission.
"Brothers, help help our brother go down to rest!" the sergeant quickly signed Mo Bei's name, and then stuffed the order into Mo Bei's arms, and then reached out to help Mo Bei and said loudly to the soldiers he brought over. "Second Lieutenant Mo, rest assured, we will definitely defend this defense area. ”
The soldiers of the independent company were carried down the city wall by the company supporters, and a military truck was waiting under the city wall, and after checking the order to change guards, the truck carried the soldiers through the fortifications of the reserve into the outer city. Some of the open spaces in the outer city near the city walls were set up by medical teams as medical points, and soldiers from the independent company were sent to the medical points in one of the communities.
All soldiers are inspected and sterilized, and then hung up bottles to be injected with saline. The fighting was too fierce, and all the soldiers were seriously short of water. Mo Bei is a second lieutenant company commander, and he was given preferential treatment to get a hospital bed, and many soldiers just lay anything on the ground and hung it on a drip. Mo Bei just fell asleep next to the bed before he could say a few words to the nurse.
The duration of the order to change the guard was twenty-four hours, which meant that the soldiers of the separate company had a full day of rest. The humans of L.A. were given a brief respite, but the tireless living corpses converged sleeplessly under the control of unknown creatures to approach the walls of L.A. The creatures standing behind the living corpses are clearly well aware of the strengths of the living corpses and the weaknesses of humans.
This night, Mo Bei slept very deeply, sleeping from dawn until dark, during which he didn't even feel anything. It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that Mo Bei woke up, and the people of the Independent Company slowly woke up sooner or later, and Mo Bei found Wang Jie Chen Kui and Wang Dynasty Zhang Yu after a while.
"There is a logistics supply point in front of the medical point, and there is a zero-hour canteen, let's go get something to eat!" Some of the people in the independent company slept and some woke up, and Mo Bei looked for about fifty or sixty people and walked to the zero-hour canteen. The remaining 10 or 20 people who have not been found, some have not woken up yet, some have already eaten, and some are just wandering around the medical center. The change of guard order only allowed the Independence Company to enter the outer city, not the inner city. Most of the soldiers' families lived in the inner city, so no one wanted to go back.
"I had a * grass, you didn't see it at the time, the mutated living corpse tore a hole in the barbed wire, and grabbed the old * man's face with a claw. The old * man was running out of bullets in his hand at that time, and subconsciously came to a lazy donkey to roll to avoid the claw, and just where he rolled to the place where he fell and didn't know whose steel drill it was, the old * picked up the steel drill and inserted it while the mutated living corpse was still stuck in the middle of the barbed wire. Later, when the company commander pulled me, I realized that I turned around and ran, and the living corpses behind me almost gave me a gourd!" Wang Chao took a sip of broth and shouted loudly as if he had drunk wine, and the soldiers around him looked at him and were talking slowly, no one thought about the cruelty of the battle, only the joy of surviving at this moment.
"Lazy donkey rolling, well, it's quite like a donkey!" Chen Kui touched his chin and looked at Wang Dynasty's face, nodded seriously. Laughter rang out in the small zero-hour cafeteria.
Mo Bei and Wang Chao were also laughing, but the two did not join the conversation of the soldiers. After eating something and feeling almost full, Mo Bei and Wang Jie walked out side by side under the big scenic tree next to the zero hour cafeteria. Walking out of the huge landscape tree with lush foliage, a drop of cold rain slowly fell on Mo Bei's face.
"It's raining!"
Trickling rain fell from the sky, and the rain, which had been many days later than expected, finally fell. Mo Bei and Wang Jie stood in the rain, not knowing how much of an impact this rain would have on the battle situation, but at least the effectiveness of the military's flamethrowers and napalm would be greatly reduced.
