Chapter 44: The Second Cataclysm—Rescue (Part II)
At a distance of a few hundred meters, it doesn't seem very far.
However, compared to the streets of a few hundred meters, Zhang Shixin hates this kind of empty terrain even more, especially with dense zombies and terrain full of obstacles.
If you are on the street, the tank tank can rely on the obstacle of the house to force the breakthrough of the zombie area without a large number of zombies gathering.
It's like what Zhang Shixin did in the dungeon residential area.
But in the cemetery park, Zhang Shixin found that he couldn't do this.
Those abandoned tanks and combat vehicles are naturally a very important factor, and at the same time, there is another point, that is, the purpose is different.
In the residential area of the underground city, Zhang Shixin adopted the tactics of forced assault, more to pass through the residential area.
But now, Zhang Shixin is going to save people, not to enter the dungeon again.
And you have to hurry up a little bit.
It's not that he doesn't want to be fast, but to avoid being blocked by both ends of the zombie group.
It is necessary to destroy a considerable number of zombies, and when he reaches the entrance and exit of the underground passage, he must also leave a considerable part of his troops for defense.
The location is naturally still to the cathedral.
As the commanding height of the mausoleum area, the cathedral is the core of defense, as long as a considerable number of machine guns are arranged, as long as it is not facing the enemy that the S-51 self-propelled guns can't solve, then the defense system with the cathedral as the core will not be able to support it for even an hour.
"Until then, though, the cathedral must be reclaimed." Zhang Shixin looked at the cathedral, which was only more than 100 meters away, and sighed helplessly.
The more he thought about it now, the angrier he became, because he hadn't told the bastard Firay that the cathedral's defense was dominated by machine guns, and that the corresponding defense troops should be arranged outside.
In this situation, he thought of one thing and two people.
Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, and the two protagonists, Zhuge Liang and Ma Tan.
Well, it's good that Fei Lei didn't make a military order, otherwise, even if Zhang Shixin rescued them, would he still shoot Fei Lei?
He wanted to get Zhuge Liang's mood of being cheated by Ma Tan and Xiang Lang.
Although it was Fei Lei who directly tricked him this time, if you want to settle the account, you have to rescue people.
Let's plan for the rest.
Zhang Shixin had a depressed feeling of being speechless and asking Cangtian, so the zombie group in front of him could be said to be unlucky under his death order.
However, even if Zhang Shixin was not satisfied with the speed of advancement, he did not dare to be too aggressive.
Because, if he is surrounded by zombies, then Firay and his surviving subordinates will have to stay in this damn place.
The convoy is desperately advancing like a turtle, and a large number of zombies are harvested with various weapons, but unfortunately, the advance speed is still very slow.
It's not that Zhang Shixin and the summoners are not powerful, but in this case, he can't be fast if he wants to.
"Don't die, Firay, Andy." Zhang Shixin said a silent sentence in his heart when he was replacing the chain box.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
What Zhang Shixin didn't know was that the troops in the supply point were in a very bad situation.
Because the zombie hordes in the residential area also appear in several other directions of the supply point.
Fire's forces were very weak, and together with the retreating remnants and the 500 men at the supply points, they were only a little more than a thousand.
Although the fire of self-propelled guns was fierce. But there is a problem, that is, there is not much ammunition for self-propelled guns, and there are many things in the supply points, even military kettles can find dozens of boxes.
However, there were no shells suitable for self-propelled guns.
Therefore, the zombie hordes that are pouring over in the underground passages, self-propelled guns and self-propelled rocket artillery shells have long been exhausted.
In this case, the self-propelled gun, driven by the crew's risk, drove to a relatively high position and acted as a roadblock.
Do barricades work for zombies?
Firay couldn't tell, because although the zombie hordes would bypass these self-propelled guns or self-propelled rocket launchers, the obstacles also hindered their fire striking surface.
It's like a 12.7mm machine gun bullet, which is likely to cause penetrating damage to the zombies behind, but now, many bullets will hit the armor plate of self-propelled guns or self-propelled rocket launchers, and they will not have a puncture effect.
The weapons of the system are provided with a variety of bullets, but Zhang Shixin chose more pointed bullets instead of round-headed bullets.
The pistols are equipped with 11.43mm round-nosed bullets, so at close range, the M1911 is more powerful than the M2 heavy machine gun.
The biggest difference between a pointed bullet and a round-tipped bullet is the piercing effect or the killing effect of a single target.
The pause of the round-headed bullet is either the damage caused by the target, but it lacks the ability to penetrate.
Pointed bullets are the opposite, so more often, if the caliber of the pointed bullet is not too large, it will generally not directly kill the target. If you hit the vital point, any bullet can kill.
Therefore, many firearms can use a variety of bullets, as long as they are of the same specification, interchangeability is not a problem.
However, Zhang Shixin had never heard of the Type 38 having round-headed bullets, so people who were hit by the Type 38 rifle would rarely be killed directly.
However, the system has 38 styles to sell, but Zhang Shixin is very disliked by the firearms of the book, historical factors are one thing, but it is more of a problem with the surname Neng.
The Baishi submachine gun is a Si Deng submachine gun that has strengthened a little surname, at least, Zhang Shixin did not see any difference in actual combat with such a little difference.
He himself was not very satisfied with the cross-loading submachine gun, so what kind of submachine gun like the Stern submachine gun is useless, besides, there is a Steyr 44 and can still use those old antiques?
It's the same with the 38-type rifle, the K98K has been eliminated, not to mention the 38-type rifle, which is considered a medium broken thing in the pull-bolt rifle?
No matter how good the penetration is, there is not enough spinning power, Zhang Shixin doesn't want his subordinates to watch the zombie's neck, and the other party is still alive and embarrassed.
……
The weapons that Firay can rely on now are mainly a few hundred machine guns, but except for the fact that five hundred summoners have no physical exertion, the troops he brought down will not get a good rest at all.
Not only soldiers, but officers, including him, that one is not exhausted?
Therefore, when zombies appeared around the supply point, they did not support it for half an hour, and the machine gun defense points on the street either retreated into the house or were attacked by zombies.
、
Most of the summoners who died in battle were pulled grenades, while some local soldiers were bitten to death.
The rest of the forces were divided into four warehouses, and except for a few machine guns blocking the main road for zombies to enter, everyone else was shooting outside on the windowsill on the second floor.
Andy and Firay were also separated, and then each commanded the defenders in the warehouse to defend to the death.
Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company has a rule, that is, in a critical situation, even if it is a cook, as long as the military rank is relatively high, then he can command troops without officers of the same rank.
That is, a lieutenant colonel of another unit, capable of commanding a unit without a lieutenant colonel officer.
Therefore, although the remaining battles can be regarded as separate battles, they cannot be said to be battles in which they lost their command.
"Boss, where are you? I really can't hold on anymore. "Firay was helplessly thinking about something like this when he was changing the chain of ammunition for a machine gunner.
He was tired, but he couldn't go down like this.
……
O'Nina hid in a corner of the warehouse, holding a loaded M1911 pistol, listening with some fear to the sound of gunfire and explosions, including the occasional zombie howl and scream.
She glanced at the pistol in her hand, the weapon Andy had handed her.
She remembered very well what Andy said to her: "This gun is not for you to kill zombies, it is for you to kill yourself." ”
She suddenly regretted why she followed Zhang Shixin to this ghost place, but now she regrets it, it's too late.
"I don't know what that person is doing now?" Suddenly, O'Nina remembered it, and she seemed to feel at ease because of it.
"Maybe it's because I think I'm dead, but maybe it's better to think about something else." O'Nina found that she was not so scared, and then she silently half-knelt on the ground and prayed......
…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................
"Hurry up!! Three minutes!! Zhang Shixin recaptured the cathedral where there were few zombies, and then, hundreds of infantry quickly unloaded boxes of ammunition and materials and moved into the cathedral.
He couldn't take all of them into the underground passages, and doing so would be self-defeating.
Therefore, he had to dedicate a part of his forces and use the cathedral as a stronghold to secure the exit of the underground passage.
Zhang Shixin left all the tanks outside, and then led the armored car formation into the underground passage.
And he, too, became an assault rifleman, ready to fight anytime and anywhere.
Zhang Shixin left a large amount of ammunition and supplies in this cathedral, leaving only a considerable part of bullets, grenades and infantry flares as backup.
The Pyro also stayed on the ground, because in the underground passage, Zhang Shixin needed to move fast more than to fight the zombies at once.
A few minutes later, Zhang Shixin, under the cover of troops inside and outside the cathedral, entered the underground passage again.
However, when several armored car machine gunners were firing flare grenades with the M1 Garand in their hands, he did not forget to ask the machine gunners to use a Geiger counter to check whether the radiation had spread to the area.
Just like Koros's metaphor, the space barrier is more like a water curtain, if the fire is too big and the water is dry, then what is the use of this water curtain?
So, he had to worry about this problem.
Luckily, it's business as usual.
What he can do now is to hope that Firay and the others are safe and sound.
"If only the communicator worked. At least I know where Firay is now. ”
Zhang Shixin didn't know that even if the communicator worked, no one below would be able to respond to him.
………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................
A few minutes later, Zhang Shixin looked at the underground passage that had been blown up by large-caliber shells, and had a rather bad feeling in his heart, because this not only meant that Fei Lei had indeed led people to retreat to this place, but also encountered a situation where he had to use self-propelled guns in this narrow area.
Firay also knew very well that if the passage was blown up in this place, none of them would be able to leave here.
Therefore, looking at the potholed passage, Zhang Shixin had a feeling of helplessness: "Drinking water to quench thirst is nothing more than that." ”
He didn't know if Firay's troops were wiped out or not, but as long as there were no corpses to be seen, then everything was fine.
I don't know how many zombie flesh and bones were on the tracks of the armored car, but Zhang Shixin still ordered to continue walking.
After the armored car formation moved forward for a certain distance, Zhang Shixin stretched out his middle finger again, because he actually saw that the self-propelled guns were actually used to block the road.
Well, Zhang Shixin heard the faint sound of gunshots, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If there is a gunshot, it means that the person is not dead, but in this case, what can Zhang Shixin do?
Armored vehicles are hopeless, you can make armored vehicles crash into self-propelled guns that are much heavier than themselves?
"All the infantry get off......" Zhang Shixin gave this helpless order.
Of course, Liu Hu and Zhao Feilin were killed and did not let Zhang Shixin get out of the car, but Zhang Shixin said a reason that they couldn't refute.
"If the boss retreats at this time, then he is not a good boss."
So, Zhang Shixin also rushed out of the car with a Steyr 44, but there were two more teams of infantry behind him to escort him.
……
Since the concentration of zombie groups was around several warehouses, they were defenseless against Zhang Shixin's new forces.
It's just that Zhang Shixin didn't dare to waste too much ammunition, they used more accurate short point shots rather than burst shots, so their advance speed was like a turtle crawling.
Zhang Shixin was also tired, but he was unwilling to rest, nor did he want to stay in the armored vehicle to wait for news. Therefore, Liu Hu and Zhao Feilin had to follow closely behind Zhang Shixin to avoid accidents.
The two warehouses close to the direction of the underground passage also heard the gunfire outside, and they also wanted to break out and meet the troops outside. But in their situation, it is very difficult for them to protect themselves, let alone break through.
Fortunately, the troops led by Zhang Shixin were still able to rescue the trapped people in these two warehouses.
So, after a few minutes of fighting, Zhang Shixin's troops cleared a passage and then turned against the survivors of the two warehouses.
"It's okay, everyone is there." Zhang Shixin looked excited, but Firay, Andy and others, who were already crumbling, as well as O'Nina, who Zhang Shixin thought was very troublesome, felt a lot more relieved.
There was still some ammunition in the warehouse, and Zhang Shixin was ready to resupply it on the spot and move again.
However, the Geiger counter pinned to his shoulder kept rising.
"Damn!" Zhang Shixin naturally knew very well what this meant, the "water curtain" was really dried by nuclear radiation, and it was still spreading frantically here.
He glanced at Firay and the others, and then gritted his teeth: "Withdraw!! ”
He learned from Firay's words that the troops in those two warehouses were mainly native soldiers who were resting a little.
He didn't want to give up on rescuing his men......
But in this case, he can't go if he doesn't go, otherwise no one will be able to run a few minutes late.
Zhang Shixin asked the summoners to support their weak colleagues, and then when they were about to leave, O'Nina, whose energy had also dropped a lot, actually fell into a coma, if it weren't for Zhang Shixin's quick eyes, it was estimated that this princess would have to have a close contact with the zombies.
Zhang Shixin shook the other party a few times, and found that the other party did not wake up, and scolded secretly in his heart: "You play with me, eldest lady." Then as soon as she gritted her teeth, a princess hugged her, picked up O'Nina, and ran away.
O'Nina actually pretended to be dizzy, she secretly glanced at Zhang Shixin, and found that Zhang Shixin actually shook her head after glancing at the other two warehouses on the road.
Why did he shake his head?
The answer to this question is actually very simple, because the young man holding her does not want to give up his own people, but he has encountered a situation where he has to give up the rescue.
"......" Zhang Shixin naturally didn't know what O'Nina was thinking, he glanced at the Geiger counter that was still rising the reading from time to time, and ran desperately.
And there are many people who are doing the same thing, but the summoners in charge of covering continue to stop and shoot at the zombies with their own weapons in order to delay the pursuit of the zombie group.
As the last armored car also started, accelerating at the same time, several grenade explosions sounded at the same time......
O'Nina saw Zhang Shixin, who was drinking water, actually threw the kettle onto the armor bottom plate, and then lowered her head, tears kept dripping on the armor bottom plate......
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
A few days later, Zhang Shixin gave up this mission, because the armies of other countries also joined in to carry out indiscriminate "cleanup" of the cataclysmic area of the Glenshire Empire.
And Zhang Shixin was leading a much smaller convoy to staggered with armies and rushed back to the Kingdom of Capani.
While camping in the safe area to rest, O'Nina saw Zhang Shixin browsing through a list of the dead that Firay had handed him.
She observed very carefully that Zhang Shixin was constantly clenching his hands while browsing the list.
She wanted to comfort the other party, but before she could take action, she was pulled by Andy: "Miss O'Nina, the boss did this more in the hope that he would not let the disaster recur. Let him be alone. ”
O'Nina nodded, and then silently watched Zhang Shixin's actions from the sidelines.
ps: It's pushed tomorrow, and I'm going to refuel. I hope I didn't work overtime. 55555。
