Chapter 32: The Second Cataclysm—The Road of Flesh and Blood (Part II)
Although Zhang Shixin was a little curious about why those zombie centaurs knew how to use weapons, now was not the time to think about this question.
Because the opponent's zombie centaur shield is really immune to the armor-piercing ability of the AP shells and even APCR shells of most of Zhang Shixin's tank and combat vehicles, even if it is the attack of the SU-152's HEAT hollow projectile, it has no effect.
The Tiger King and Cheetah's 105mm tank guns or anti-tank guns can penetrate the opponent's shields more effectively.
It's just that the lethality of the cannonball against zombies is not very good, so unless it directly penetrates the shield and hits the parts above the opponent's body, otherwise, the opponent's combat effectiveness is basically not affected.
Zhang Shixin now switches most of the 105mm shells to armor-piercing shells, as more and more zombie centaurs appear at the front of the zombie herd.
Zhang Shixin knew that the weapons in the hands of these zombie centaurs with giant shields were not recoilless cannons, because the range of recoilless cannons was not so far, and the power would not be so small.
So Zhang Shixin estimated that this thing was more of an armor-piercing grenade launcher with a certain ability.
Although this weapon is not too powerful, the problem is ...... The opponent's aim was also too high, because of the first line of defense and the second line of defense arranged by Zhang Shixin, many machine gunners had already been hit and suffered heavy casualties.
In contrast to this situation, the opponent's shoulder rest weapons are also somewhat threatening to armored vehicles, but the casualties caused are much less.
Zhang Shixin discovered that as long as the armored vehicle was not hit by the machine gun shooter, these small grenades were basically ineffective against the armored vehicle.
In layman's terms, the other side is a defensive MT, and it is unlikely that the other party can have excellent DPM.
Because the other party simply ignored the attacks of many shells, and even Zhang Shixin found that a 150mm high-explosive shell smashed into the opponent's side, the other party just shook his body and continued his attack.
Of course, Zhang Shixin knew very well that if it hit a living person, the distance of more than ten meters nearby would be within the killing range of fragments, but now......
As long as the fragments don't destroy the other person's nerve center, it's no different from giving the other person itching.
Fortunately, the number of this kind of zombie centaurs is not too much, and the firepower that Zhang Shixin uses to deal with them now is still enough.
Basically, the opponent is able to fire one or two shells, and they are solved by several 105mm shells and 203mm high-explosive incendiary shells.
Zhang Shixin is also very clear that compared to the zombie centaurs equivalent to the elite monster level, there are a large number of ordinary zombies, although now, those ordinary zombie groups are still dead and suppressed by machine gun fire.
But Zhang Shixin knew very well that according to this situation, it was only a matter of time before the other side broke through the defensive line.
……
Although there were many casualties among the machine gun crew, the machine gun fire arranged by Zhang Shixin was still very fierce.
However, the machine gun has a big disadvantage, that is, under the long-term uninterrupted continuous fire, the barrel must be dissipated or replaced.
The structure of the M2 heavy machine gun is more complex, and the strength of the barrel is much better than that of the MG-34 universal machine gun. Therefore, if the barrel is overheated, the M2 heavy machine gun can only wait for the barrel to cool down naturally.
So, during this time, the members of the machine gun team were more likely to reload the ammunition, or simply pick up the guns that had been put aside and continue to fire.
Velen was a hunter in the northern part of the kingdom of Capani, and when he wasn't part of the Elven Dragon Security Company, his life was mainly hunting to make ends meet.
However, when he joined the Elven Dragon Security Company and took the exam, he became an assaulter.
In fact, as a hunter, his marksmanship is not very good, so he chooses relatively large prey when hunting. For example, a grizzly bear or a deer.
Therefore, he is not very averse to being an assault fighter who is not too focused on accurate shooting.
Even, he liked to use the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun, which was able to modify the firing mode at will. His physical strength is not small, so for many soldiers it is a limited burst of recoil, which does not cause him too many problems.
Therefore, when there is no training for defensive tasks, he prefers to conduct assault training with an assault MG-34 light machine gun equipped with a drum.
The MG-34 machine gun's drum assault version and the heavy machine gun defense version with a large chain box are actually some relatively simple conversions.
The main difference between the two versions of the MG-34 is the tripod.
However, many people prefer to use a tripod as an auxiliary grip, as it makes it easier to adjust the direction of the muzzle.
It's just that some recruits are still unable to use this way of doing it skillfully, especially the soldiers who are not too strong, and their arms can't withstand the transmitted pull, so they can only remove the tripod and then hold the heat sink on the barrel to adjust the muzzle again.
Therefore, Wei Lun knows very well that as long as he looks at the way the opponent holds the machine gun, he can judge the opponent's skill in using the machine gun.
Because the person holding the tripod is more of a soldier with more strength, which is an incomparable advantage for the machine gunner.
However, he has also seen several colleagues who use the FG-42 paratrooper machine gun often complain that the FG-42 paratrooper machine gun has a much better surname than the MG-34, and the only drawback is that the bullets run out too quickly.
For this reason, these colleagues had to put a few spare magazines on their belts, and the magazines of only thirty rounds were easily exhausted in less than two seconds of continuous firing.
It's better than having to pull out their pistols and fight hard after they've used up a few drums.
Although a few magazines are not a big deal, but the FG-42 paratrooper machine gun, in addition to the power of a single bullet, which one is not the advantage of throwing the M1911 pistol a few streets?
Well, perhaps, the pistol is lighter, which can be considered an advantage.
However, he heard rumors that his boss had planned to replace the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun, and he had ten of the best machine gunners to test it.
It's just that this plan has not been implemented until now, and it is obvious that the boss did not implement this plan after combining the opinions of several machine gunners.
He heard that the surname of this machine gun is not much different from that of the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun, but the rate of fire is even faster than that of the FG-42 paratrooper machine gun, which shows that the actual combat surname of this machine gun is not as good as that of the MG-34.
He used the MG-34 machine gun for a while, compared to the FG-42 paratrooper machine gun, which was too fast to fire and often created a low strike effect.
That is, when the enemy is faced with several FG42 paratrooper machine guns, it often becomes a hornet's nest.
In fact, perhaps only a fraction of a bullet is needed, and the enemy will also die no longer.
So, the rate of fire of the new machine gun turned out to be even faster than that of the FG-42, which was simply not necessary.
Not because of the waste of bullets, but because the efficiency is too low.
Therefore, as the MG39, which has a slightly slower rate of fire, Vinylon feels that it is enough.
But now, he found that weapons with too fast fire were not useless, but could hit the opponent more effectively.
That's what it's like to be a soldier.
"Bang ......"
"Ahhh......hh
After an explosion sounded, there were continuous screams, and Wei Lun couldn't help but look at the place where the sound came from, and found a flamethrower dozens of meters away because the fuel tank on his back had been exploded, and the fierce flames were devouring life wildly in all directions......
Except for a few colleagues on the periphery who were not too affected, they were constantly rolling in the snow, and a few soldiers with fire extinguishers were spraying white powder around the box......
A few soldiers standing closer, and even a machine gunner on top of an armored car, quickly lost signs of their lives......
He knew that it was not that others did not want to save these people, but that they could not save them......
"Abominable !!" Velen quickly replaced the barrel of the gun, then pulled the trigger down again, and fired.
At this time, the zombie horde was already only a hundred meters away from the first line of defense.
……
"......" Zhang Shixin also saw the explosion on the left-hand side, originally, according to his plan, these flamethrowers could play a role, but they would not encounter much danger at the same time.
But he never expected that the last zombie centaur on the map would give him a strong reminder that the flamethrower is also a bomb that can be easily detonated.
He was also very helpless, because the other party obviously lost his accuracy, so he would miss.
Why do you lose your accuracy?
Just look at the giant shield that stood on the ground and had been punched out of several small holes of about ten centimeters to see what was going on.
"Give me such a surprise when you are dying! Count you ruthless!! Zhang Shixin found that the barrel of the M2 heavy machine gun in front of him was overheated, so he grabbed the Steyr 44 assault rifle placed next to the chain box and shot at the zombie group with three short shots.
When the bullets of the assault rifle were finished, Zhang Shixin took out a magazine from the armed belt, reloaded it, and pulled the trigger with a stroke to load the bullets of the assault rifle.
After that, Zhang Shixin put the assault rifle back in his original position, and then used the M2 heavy machine gun, which was already ready to shoot again, and poured bullets at the zombie horde.
Many Heavy choose to do this when the barrel overheats.
With the exception of the machine gunner of the MG-34, it was much faster to replace the barrel than to wait for heat dissipation.
However, because the number of zombies is too much, and the defense surface is a bit large, the firepower that can be suppressed at the same point is not too much, these zombies are approaching a distance of 50 meters from the defense line.
"......" Zhang Shixin reluctantly instructed the self-propelled artillery to shoot at a distance of 150 meters from the defense line, because the zombies were approaching this position, and the self-propelled guns were also firing at the front of the zombie group......
This is a very dangerous thing. Because they will immediately injure their companions by mistake, and even detonate the ammunition in the defensive line, tearing an irreparable gap.
Otherwise, why did those soldiers use fire extinguishers to extinguish those flames, not because they were afraid that those munitions would be detonated and blow up a section of the defense line.
The few soldiers who were able to be rescued were seriously injured and had been carried by the military medical team onto the medical armored vehicle for treatment.
If it weren't for the fact that they were far away, Zhang Shixin estimated that these people would not be able to save them at all.
It's not that he didn't think about using fire extinguishers to extinguish the flames on their bodies that are difficult to extinguish by themselves, but the problem is that those fire extinguishers are all dry ice, and if these fire extinguishers are used to help them extinguish the fire, it is estimated that the flames are extinguished, and these people will definitely not survive......
The reason why Zhang Shixin chose a dry ice fire extinguisher is mainly because the fire extinguishing surname of the dry powder fire extinguisher is not suitable for the tank, and because the fire extinguishing principle is different, the dry ice fire extinguisher is mainly to reduce the temperature of the ignition point, which has a better effect on the fire in the car.
Dry powder is mainly to block the contact between the air and the fire source to achieve the effect of extinguishing the fire, that is to say, if the ammunition rack has been burned, the dry powder fire extinguisher is useless, even if the fire source is extinguished, but the shell is too heated, it is also very dangerous.
Dry ice directly lowers the temperature, so the extinguishing effect is generally much better than dry powder, and it is safer.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin knows that spraying people with a dry ice fire extinguisher is no different from freezing people into popsicles......
And because of such a thing, Zhang Shixin still wanted to buy some fire extinguishers that are safer for the human body.
However, this will have to be arranged after the battle.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
After losing all the zombie centaurs, the zombie horde began to act spontaneously.
It should be said that it is instinct to carry out activities.
"You feel it, right?" Sinia's voice sounded in the mind of Zhang Shixin, who was reloading the bullet.
"Well, if based on the previous experiences, to the current situation, it is obvious that there is also a hierarchy among zombies. Just like a zombie rhinoceros can dominate a zombie bear, and a zombie bear can dominate a zombie, whether the zombie beast itself has wisdom is a question, but since they can command the most basic zombies, it shows that even if the zombie beast does not have the same intelligence as normal humans, I am afraid, this instinct is also very terrifying. ”
"In addition, it is difficult to say whether the level of these zombie centaurs is above the known zombie beasts, or whether they are at the same level as the zombie rhinoceros."
"One thing worth noting, though, is that these zombie centaurs seem to be a whole. Because there are more than a dozen zombie centaurs, almost all of them take turns to step forward. It's like a mid-level commander of an army. ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Shi raised his head and glanced at the city of Nimel in the distance, thinking in his heart.
Because he knew that Nimel might have a queen bee-like existence, but right now, the trouble was not completely resolved.
Moreover, his main purpose this time was not to clean up the zombies, but to know what was in the royal mausoleum, and he needed to use the task to arrange him to investigate.
The current zombie group, as long as there are no accidents, such as the big guy in Nimel who trapped them with wheel warfare, only needs to spend a little more time, and they can still be cleaned up.
With the continuous ignition of flame arrows, Zhang Shixin became more and more firm in his thoughts.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
"......" Zhang Shixin glanced at this flesh and blood road paved by the remains of zombies, and was very emotional in his heart.
However, he was also affected by some soldiers who kept vomiting, and he also ran to the side and vomited.
Zhang Shixin swore that when arranging the defensive line in the future, he would at least have to open a farther distance.
The strange smell of barbecue made many soldiers from the regular army unacceptable, and it is conceivable how many zombies were burned to death in front of the defensive line......
There are many soldiers who also swear that in this life, they will not eat barbecue when they are killed.
……
There was another thing that made Zhang Shixin helpless, that is, on the way to continue their departure, they encountered a small group of zombies.
Zhang Shixin was in the telescope and saw one of the children in the zombie hand, holding a can of military cans printed in German......
He knew that those people would not be able to hide in the end......
"Firay, give them a ride." Zhang Shixin was silent for a long time and gave this order.
"Boss, can you let me come?" It was a teenager who said this, holding a G43 semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand.
"......" Zhang Shixin glanced at the young man, and finally nodded: "Give your compatriots a good time." ”
After a while, an armored car with zombie scraps on its tracks roared its engine and went to a place more than two hundred meters outside the snow where the zombies were, and the person who should have been in the position of the machine gunner was replaced by a teenager with a G43 semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand.
"Pong ......"
After the gunshots came, Zhang Shixin saw a zombie in the telescope and fell in response......
He saw it, and it was the kid with the can in his hand that had fallen down......
A gunshot rang out, representing the fall of zombies one by one......
Zhang Shixin put down the binoculars and clenched his fists.
In the end, he could only close his eyes and sigh helplessly.
What Zhang Shixin didn't know was that O'Nina, who was also pale, watched Zhang Shixin's every move in his eyes......
Gunshots rang out on the snowfield, and it didn't stop for a long time......
