Chapter 30: The Second Cataclysm—Embarking on the Road of Flesh and Blood

As Zhang Shixin began to encounter a small zombie army, the mechanization of other directions also successively engaged some not very large zombie troops, and won relatively easily.

Zhang Shixin knew that a zombie army of this scale could only be regarded as an appetizer.

Because on the other side, the armies of the GLP Alliance and the Khanate of Kires relied more on the number of artillery and indiscriminate shelling, barely blocking the first wave of zombies.

The main battle of this battle was focused on the advance of the GLP alliance and the Kires Khanate.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Shixin knows that he should take a defensive position and know that the occupation of the east is clear, so he can make the next plan, which is the best way.

However, the current situation is very bad, and it is impossible to expect a few elites plus a large number of recruit troops to hold off the zombie tide that does not know when it will come.

The space gained by moving forward is exchanged for reaction time for several countries.

Zhang Shixin originally planned to do so.

Time and space, both of these terms have a great influence on war.

Still, there is no one more important.

Because if you want to get what you want, many times, you have to make a choice based on reality.

I have to say something different......

For example, in World War II, the Soviets abandoned vast territories (or more could not hold them at all) in exchange for time to defend strategic points.

However, this time, Zhang Shixin used the space gained by moving forward in exchange for time to better solve the problem.

And he used mechanized troops this time, so even if he can't beat it, most of the troops will always be able to withdraw from the battle line, right?

Moreover, as long as they are not caught up by fast speed, there are a certain number of fast zombies, and there is no problem for them to return to the border safely.

Although Zhang Shixin also wanted to run away when he encountered trouble, he was just restricted by the task, and he could probably only play guerrilla warfare with these zombies.

This is also an important part of Zhang Shixin's space-for-time plan, but it is not the key surname.

The most critical part of this plan lies in the two countries in the east, when will they be able to deal with most of the zombies.

In the past ten days, Zhang Shixin has been maneuvering in the southwest of the Glenshire Empire to sweep the nearby zombie groups.

Except for the occasional small zombie beast that caused them a little trouble, Zhang Shixin's troops had good results.

Fighting to raise war is a very good way for Zhang Shixin to expand his strength.

Several times the whole army was almost wiped out, and the strength of Zhang Shixin's troops was not greatly damaged, and even improved slightly.

Of course, this is all a matter of the Summons period.

In recent skirmishes, Zhang Shixin finally accumulated the full body experience of the S-51 with almost complete victory.

This experience allows Zhang Shixin to directly use the fully complete AMX-ELC or the AMX-12T whose surname can not reach the perfect state.

Although, more often than not, these two tanks played a much better role than the S-203 self-propelled howitzer with the 203mm-B-4 howitzer.

It's just that Zhang Shixin knows that in the current situation, these two tanks are not suitable for such a battlefield.

There are several main reasons for this:

The armor is too weak, Zhang Shixin has seen with his own eyes that in the underground railway, many armored vehicles and even light tanks with front armor thickness of about 30mm have their armor plates torn apart by zombies.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin has a good surname for these two mobile tanks, but the armored defense is really not good.

If the mobility is good, you must move, otherwise you can count on that little bit of weak armor, which is called.

On the other hand, the firepower of the two does not play much role in zombies.

A small-caliber shell can at most pierce two zombies side by side.

Herein lies the problem.

Machine gun bullets of the same price, the number of zombies that can be picked up, is much more.

Excluding these two points, Zhang Shixin knew that the 203mm-B-4 howitzer was a gun capable of firing armor-piercing shells, which was another consideration for Zhang Shixin.

Zhang Shixin still has lingering palpitations about the zombie rhinoceros last time, if there are a few more, Zhang Shixin estimates that he will have to explain to that place at that time.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin can't expect too much on the unreliable accuracy of self-propelled rocket artillery......

Uh, well, the accuracy of the 203mm-B-4 howitzer is also relatively poor, but at a long distance, Zhang Shixin doesn't have to care too much about whether the shells will hit him.

Because the relatively dangerous area is not too big.

But the aim of rocket artillery...... If it is the maximum firing distance, only God really knows where the shells are going.

One thing to note is that the S-51 actually has a loading crane as well, but this crane is on an ammunition truck.

After the S-51 was replaced with 203mm-B-4 shells, the hull no longer provided its own shells, but the chassis was reinforced with armor plates to reduce recoil.

Although the 203mm shells are not incapable of manual reloading, they are very slow, which is a flaw.

So, the auxiliary vehicle of the 3-door S-51 is a modified armored truck and not a multipurpose personnel carrier.

The main reason for this arrangement is that the space of the armored personnel carrier is much smaller. And there is also not enough place for that small crane on the armored personnel carrier.

In contrast to such a situation. Most of Zhang Shixin's large-caliber artillery in the later period was equipped with this kind of multi-functional armored truck.

Zhang Shixin, of course, knew that this problem was mainly due to the fact that the danger of loading large-caliber shells by hand was quite large, because the weight of the shells was there.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin knew that the system did this, not only to increase the rate of fire. It is more about improving the safety factor of shooting.

Zhang Shixin didn't know if this was an extra move of the system, he knew that the manual reloading effect of the summoners was no worse than the safety factor of the summoners' crane loading.

However, this point is indeed a very good protective measure for ordinary officers and soldiers.

There is also a reason, that is, the space of armored vehicles is much less than that of armored trucks.

Under this premise, in order to load more ammunition, it is also necessary to use armored trucks.

Therefore, after these prerequisites were combined, the S-51, which had an increased loading speed, a large bomb load, and a stronger power, replaced the original plan of the AMX-ELC developed by Zhang Shixin.

As for the S-51's 203mm armor-piercing bullets, can they penetrate the bone armor of this zombie rhinoceros.

Of course, Zhang Shixin didn't know the outcome of this situation.

However, what he knew was that if even 1000 meters of 234mm armor-piercing bullets could not penetrate the armor of these zombie rhinoceros under the advantage of the angle of fire, then Zhang Shixin knew that he really deserved to die.

Either he was killed by a zombie rhinoceros, or he was smashed to death by a self-propelled rocket launcher......

In such a situation, Zhang Shixin's convoy has several more S-51 self-propelled guns,

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

A few days later, Zhang Shixin got the news that the situation was worse than that of all three troops having to retreat.

That is, when the mechanized division of the Principality Coalition Army, which was retreating on the north road, was resting in a small town, it was intercepted by a large group of zombies, and finally withdrew to the border in embarrassment when more than half of it was lost.

Even the division commander died in that small town.

Zhang Shixin knew that he should act.

Of course, he wouldn't go to towns above the medium size, not even the periphery.

Unless there is really no way out, Zhang Shixin will definitely not approach those dead towns.

That's just asking for trouble.

Although the smaller towns and villages have also become like hell, they are full of victims and zombies.

But Zhang Shixin has the ability to clean up one by one.

Of course, this is just something that Zhang Shixin did easily.

……

Outside a small town, Zhang Shixin sighed helplessly as he watched the flamethrowers burning a town where no one could be found.

It's not that Zhang Shixin doesn't want to rush at night, but the danger of traveling at night is too high.

You must know that the zombie group at night is more active than during the day.

If the guide car was negligent for a while, or because of terrain factors and ignored some situations, Zhang Shixin knew that as long as there was a problem, it would be enough to catch him off guard.

So, in this case, he could not take the risk and put the team in danger in a hurry.

As for clearing the outskirts of the town where the camp is to be encamped, the main thing is to avoid being attacked on the back.

However, Zhang Shixin also has factors that allow the troops to increase their combat experience.

With a large number of flamethrowers equipped, the threat of these ordinary zombies to Zhang Shixin's subordinates was very small.

The people who cleaned up the town were all in the form of squads, and each squad would not be too far apart, in this case, as long as the squad did not encounter zombies that were enough to wipe them out in an instant, Zhang Shixin knew that these people should be very safe.

Therefore, he was more concerned about his actions in the next few days, and he didn't know if he would stay in that ghost place.

According to intelligence and Sinia's speculation, it was necessary for Zhang Shixin to find out which of the largest churches in the Imperial Mausoleum complex of the Glenshire Empire had something inside.

In order to get to that place, Zhang Shixin had to cross a road in a plain and hilly area east of the outskirts of the city called Nimel.

This road made it difficult for armored forces to quickly pass through the perimeter of the city.

However, it is also a hilly road, if he encounters a large-scale zombie group, Zhang Shixin can still rely on the terrain to defend.

It's just that, in contrast to this situation, if Zhang Shixin is blocked, then it will also increase the difficulty of breaking through.

There are gains and losses, and many times, the benefits and disadvantages are relative.

Zhang Shixin thought about it again and again, but still chose this path because he felt that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you thinking?" A female voice came from behind Zhang Shixin.

Zhang Shixin listened to this voice, and knew that it was a troublesome woman he didn't like to see, who was walking behind him.

Zhang Shixin naturally couldn't tell the other party directly about his plans, but looked at him left and right: "Miss O'Nina, haven't you rested yet?" ”

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what kind of attitude you have towards such a thing? I sense you enjoy doing this kind of work. O'Nina blinked her eyes, smiled and continued to Zhang Shixin: "Of course, I don't have a reason to offend you, because I know ...... You're not inherently bad. ”

"......" Zhang Shixin looked at O'Nina who was staring at him, and said after a while: "It's not that I like to do such things. It's that I have to destroy these beings so that more people don't get killed. There is a saying in my hometown, I don't know if Miss O'Nina has heard of it. ”

"What?" O'Nina was a little curious.

To remove evil is to do good. There are many times when letting go of a person or thing that endangers others may cause harm to more innocent people. ”

Zhang Shixin paused for a moment and continued: "So, I don't want to do this kind of thing either. But ......"

"Someone has to do something like this, or more people will become like them. It's like on the battlefield, even if you don't want to kill, but if you want to live, you have to kill the enemy. ”

Zhang Shixin said that, sighed softly, and then walked to O'Nina's side and said, "It's late at night." Rest early. ”

Zhang Shixin's words gave O'Nina a feeling that Zhang Shixin did not want and did not want to see killing, but just as most people in the world did not want war, many times, they did things that backfired.

When the situation is beyond the control of the parties, they often passively accept it.

It's like that, and it's the same with cleaning up these things called zombies.

The difference is that there is no such thing as justice or evil in war, there is only victory or defeat -- victory or defeat, it's as simple as that.

But fighting zombies can be easily summed up in one sentence instead of winning or losing.

If humans and zombies lose this battle, then for humans, many things will end.

And they too will be plunged into eternal darkness.

……

While Zhang Shixin and Zhang Shixin were going deep into the enemy's lair, walking on thin ice, the battle in the east of the Glenshire Empire was also in a fever pitch.

The two countries also mobilized a large number of troops to reinforce the fighting on the front line, but the areas where they had no choice but to fight were densely populated. One can imagine how bad the situation they are facing.

Although after several days of fierce fighting, the armies of the two countries were also unable to move forward. And there were quite a few casualties.

In fact, the so-called casualties are almost real death figures. Because except for some wounded officers and soldiers who were not scratched and bitten in battle, no matter how light or heavy the zombies were, they would often be refilled.

Although many people can't do anything about their companions, they also know that if they leave this situation alone, then the next disaster will be for them.

……

Zhang Shixin didn't expect that there were still some survivors in this place, but after Zhang Shixin saw the tactical map in his mind, he also knew that the other party had discovered them, and they were swarming out of the city called Nimel and swooping towards this area.

Or is it coming?

Zhang Shixin shook his head helplessly, and then shouted loudly: "Prepare to fight!" ”

He didn't know that this path would become a flesh-and-blood road of continental civilization because of this battle.
