Chapter 2: The Battle of the Giant Mine (Part I)

There are also some strange rumors about the Gultoka Empire, but most people don't know what the situation is.

It's just that when Zhang Shixin knew about such a thing, he had some calculations in his heart, and after communicating with some Gultokati [***] officers, he decided to personally lead a team to see what was going on.

Of course, the most advanced Black Panther G and Tiger tanks, the No. 4 "Leopard G" equipped type, he is also a non-pullable to take away.

Although she said that she was not afraid of these things, Hailey was reluctant to take any more risks with Zhang Shixin.

Because that stuff is kind of disgusting too.

To be honest, Zhang Shixin also didn't plan to let Hailey or other local personnel go with him to see the abandoned tunnel that should be similar to the Kapani Kingdom......

What kind of tunnel or pit it was, the officer couldn't tell clearly, so Zhang Shixin also knew what the situation was.

In this case, he separated his troops again, and after letting most of the mercenaries and a small number of summons from the other direction as a few girls guards, he led the rest of his troops to continue to their destination.

……

"What? Younger sister...... Hayley's lover actually wants to go to this weird place? The grandfather and grandson, who were chatting with a few ministers, heard Zhang Shi's desire to explore the most bizarre place known as the Gultoka Empire, and Crown Prince William couldn't help but exclaim.

The old emperor was also shocked that the other party would make such a move, but he was much calmer, and said to a blond young man: "Ptolemy, bring me the relevant files, I want to see what is going on." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The blonde young man known as Ptolemy nodded, then leaned back a distance before turning and leaving the room.

Half an hour later, Ptolemy re-entered the room, with several closed scrolls in his hand, and many of the ministers in the room had left, but Crown Prince William was still talking to the old emperor.

Ptolemy held the scrolls and spread them out on a table in order.

When everything was done, Ptolemy greeted the old emperor and Crown Prince William: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, these are the most detailed information we can find about that place. ”

To be honest, on the way back, he browsed through the materials that he thought were impossible, but they did exist.

It was recorded decades ago by a brigade-sized unit that was ordered to go to this seemingly sudden passage to explore the situation.

He didn't say much, because the old emperor and Crown Prince Wilhelm gradually looked at everything recorded on the data.

After a few minutes, they were all amazed at the living dead recorded on the data, as well as some animals that were clearly dead but still able to maintain their biological instincts.

And the thing that shocked them the most was that the troops of a brigade entered it, and after only exploring less than six thousand meters, they had to retreat, blowing up the mountain at the exit, blocking the area. Although it was said that the weapons at that time were not as advanced as they are now, the most important thing was that they could see that they were very dangerous inside.

Crown Prince William wanted to immediately ask Zhang Shixin to stop such a dangerous action, but the old emperor stopped Crown Prince William's actions, and said: "It's okay to let him in, our empire must also remove this hidden danger that we don't know when it will detonate." Order, let the nearby troops obey the young man's command unconditionally. In addition, the local financial reserves were called up, and the young man was given the opportunity to arm the troops that we had transferred from the past. After all, this is our country's own business. William, you go and arrange it. ”

"Grandfather, I'll arrange it now." Crown Prince William, after answering the old emperor, quickly left the room with the blonde young man named Ptolemy.

Time has proved the old emperor's decision right......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"Mr. Zhang, I am Hapares Odd, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Mobile Support Force in the Eastern Region of the Empire, and now, we have been ordered to come and support your operation. You can move the members of the 2nd Mobile Division, including me, as you like. In the eyes of Zhang Shixin, who rolled his eyes violently, the self-proclaimed Major General Gultoka led the soldiers who jumped out of the armored vehicles and trucks behind him, and reported in formation.

And what he was most concerned about was that boxes of gold and silver coins were actually carried down from more than a dozen trucks, and after seeing Zhang Shixin's reaction, Hapares explained: "These things are the funds for the military department to purchase your weapons, and the high-level hopes to let the troops be equipped with your weapons." ”

"It's all ready for this, it seems that they have to come this time." Zhang Shixin naturally knew that the other party would not just buy weapons to do this, so he said a sentence:

"I won't say much else, but there's one thing I want you to do, and that's if someone gets a wound from something you haven't touched, either you get a shot in your head, or your companion gets a shot. I hope you will be able to comply with this rule. ”

Hapares nodded, and then continued to ask Zhang Shixin, "Is there anything else you need to order?" ”

"When shooting, aim as much at the opponent's head as possible. In addition, except for tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks, I don't need to go in for long-barreled artillery or anything, and I don't want to be buried alive in the collapsed mountain by my own people. ”

……

Zhang Shixin looked at the officers and soldiers of the Second Division in the column, he glanced at the ones that were still buried in the thick pile of rubble, but the tactical map marked it as a five-meter-high passage, and shook his head helplessly, after all, without the support of large-caliber artillery, he was still a little worried about encountering some kind of perverted zombie creature.

"At this height, it's hard for the other party to exert their power." Zhang Shixin comforted himself.

Because it is indeed difficult for the self-propelled gun to play a combat role this time, Zhang Shixin's favorite tank killer has also not been unlocked, so in terms of heavy weapons, what he can count on is the main gun firepower of the tank.

The "Grizzly Bear" became a good support firepower, and theoretically would not blow up the mountain, but Zhang Shixin still felt that it was not very safe.

So, he added a bit of a mounted weapon.

First of all, the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, zombies don't tell if you're reloading or not, and this thing can fire special grenades, not only can fire modified lighting grenades at a suitable distance, but the original fragmentation grenades can also be used as a powerful firepower for emergencies.

In addition, in view of the fear of fire in those things, Zhang Shixin also chose to install Molotov cocktails modified with napalm to temporarily confront the other party and buy time for the front to regroup.

At the same time, he suddenly thought of a scheme to replenish heavy firepower.

That is, an explosive pack projector was mounted on top of an armored vehicle and used as a light self-propelled gun. Although the effect may not be good, it is better than nothing......

"All evil system, return my tank killer!" Zhang Shixin looked at the people who were busy refitting and sighed helplessly.

……

Harpares was also curious about where Zhang Shixin got so many weapons, but the instructions conveyed by the military department were not only to completely obey the young man's orders, but also to pretend not to know when he saw the unreasonable things on the young man.

So he didn't do much of what he thought.

And now, more than two dozen soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Elven Dragon Security Company are evacuating on the pile of rubble, and then Zhang Shixin, who is standing beside him, signals that the blasting can be completed.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The explosive packets that were detonated one after another made a loud noise, and at the same time, they shattered rocks, mud, and some things of different sizes were shaken into the sky.

Zhang Shixin looked at the front full of smoke and dust, and suddenly, more and more purple dots suddenly appeared on his tactical map, and some of the purple dots were very fast.

“why?! Your sister! Full Firepower!! Zhang Shixin quickly gave the order to shoot, he didn't expect to really start fighting before he entered it.

Fortunately, based on the experience he had gained in the battle of the Kapani Kingdom, he remembered that the reason why the retreating troops had blown up the mountain decades ago was probably that they could only rely on the conditions created by nature to block the terrible things.

Therefore, he used to set up an arc-shaped defensive position outside the security range.

After the summoners of the Elven Dragon Security Company immediately fired at the smoke and dust, the members of the 2nd Mobile Division shot with their own weapons.

They also heard the terrible roars mingling with the sound of gunfire.

In the tactical map in Zhang Shixin's mind, which was still within the range of smoke, the purple dots were eliminated one after another, but more were dense purple dots that followed up.

"Are there so many?!" Zhang Shixin was surprised, he felt as if he had made a wrong decision.

Of course, he knew very well that if he hadn't gotten the news by accident today, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be long before these things would be able to dig up the obstacles that had hindered their footsteps for decades, and at that time, it was estimated that the entire Gultoka Empire and even the mainland would have a lot of fun.

As for why Zhang Shixin made such a judgment?

Mainly because he had to blast the pile of rubble in three blasts.

But just once these things were released, it was clear that they had already opened up quite a few passages, and of course, inside......

If it weren't for Zhang Shixin's action, maybe a few years, or even a few months, the other party would have been able to get rid of this cage that imprisoned them, but became more and more unreliable......

……

The attack continued, but as the M2 heavy machine gun and MG-34 light machine gun, which were the main active players, temporarily stopped firing, or changed the barrel, or reloaded the ammunition, the fire power of the defensive circle suddenly weakened considerably.

At the same time, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, in the eyes of Hapares and the members of the 2nd Mobile Division, various living dead or some zombie animals appeared that pounced on them.

They finally knew the reason for this battle with Zhang Shixin, largely because the high-level of the empire knew about this matter and hoped to solve it once and for all.

And Zhang Shixin also knew how the other party dug through the obstacles of the rocks...... Because he actually saw that some zombies were still holding manual mining tools that looked very complete in their hands.

He now knew that this cave was not a tunnel or something, but a mine that didn't know how big it was and how deep it was!

"I hope it's not a super-large or giant pit, otherwise, it's going to be a big problem." Zhang Shixin was shooting with an M2 heavy machine gun on top of the Tiger tank.

He also thought of the reason for the zombieization of the personnel in this mine, and naturally a considerable part of it was "attributed" to these zombie animals.

Have you ever seen these animals appear in a mine for no reason?

……

Many zombies or zombie creatures were caught in the dense bullets and shells on the road trying to storm the defensive line, but there were still a considerable number of zombies constantly moving forward......

Even though the 0.50-inch bullet of the M2 heavy machine gun is far more harmful to these zombies than other countries, it is still difficult to stop the opponent's advance.

Fifty meters away, explosive packs and high-explosive grenades were fired into the zombie crowd, slightly blocking the opponent's progress......

Forty meters...... M2 frag grenades were thrown into the zombie team, but the damage of the frag grenade to the zombies did not seem to be as good as that of the MG-34......

The other party continued to move forward......

Thirty meters...... After being ignited by a lighter, Molotov cocktails were thrown into the zombie crowd, and at the same time, the pale yellow napalm stuck to the zombie's body, once ignited by the flames, the zombie could only let out a wailing roar, and was gradually burned into a charred humanoid object......

It's just that the Molotov cocktail is not enough to completely stop the advance of the zombie horde......

Twenty meters ...... Dozens of flamethrowers armed with flamethrowers snapped the valves, and one after another flaming arrows quickly engulfed the rushing zombie hordes in flames......

Under the blow of the Spitfire Collectors who took turns to change, Zhang Shixin finally saw a fault in the purple dots on the tactical map after a few minutes......

It's just that a small number of zombies also broke through a few meters outside the defensive front at this time. It's just that without waiting for Zhang Shixin to decide whether to retreat while fighting, several officers and soldiers of the nearest mobile 2nd Division shouted "Long live the Gultoka Empire!! After that, he held a grenade in his hand to remove the safety, and then flew towards the zombie in front of him......

"Boom...... these soldiers and several zombies whose heads were blown up were all wiped out......

……

After about ten minutes, the last purple dot, a zombie dog with a broken hind leg, was smashed by a 0.50-inch bullet, and for Zhang Shixin, the battle came to an end for the time being.

In fact, the casualties of the defending troops in the battle just now were not very large, but many officers and men of the Second Mobile Division vomited......

Zhang Shixin understood this, in addition to continuing to let the troops reorganize the cordon, Zhang Shixin also asked several teams as reserves to enter the pit as a vanguard to investigate the situation.

Several teams wearing gas masks first fired a few white phosphorus flares into the pit, and after confirming that the white phosphorus flares had not been extinguished for a distance into the pit, they fired more than a dozen energy stone grenades into it, and then cautiously marched inside.

Zhang Shixin saw Hapares who came back from the communication group at this time, and after asking how the situation was, the other party said: "Clean up this area as much as possible." His Majesty the Emperor intends to get rid of all these dangerous things. ”

Harpares was also aware of the danger of these ghosts, as he had seen a dead soldier of the 2nd Mobile Division actually get up from the ground......

It wasn't until a bullet got into his skull that he rested forever.

So Hapares was also inclined to agree with the old emperor's intentions.

Zhang Shixin also understood the other party's decision.

But he did not act immediately, but waited for the results of the reconnaissance......

ps: Originally, according to the outline, there shouldn't be a lot of chapters about fighting zombies, but then I thought about it for a while, and it's fun to write more about this thing.

Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, thank you.

Like yesterday, there is another chapter in the evening.

Another thing I forgot was that the Gundam doujin opened the pit...... If you have love, you can take a look.
