Before preparing to leave the next day, Zhang Shi thought about it for a while and decided that he should enter the area with Dimitri.

Vatutin was originally very opposed to Zhang Shixin's suggestion, but the former had no choice but to deal with such a situation with the necessary speed, and because a large number of heavy weapons could not enter that area, Vatutin, as the armored commander, was able to exert a greater effect in the outer area and the defense system of Quemosr.

Vatujing knew that Zhang Shixin was to let his talents come into play, and at the same time let these summon troops exert stronger combat effectiveness, so Vatujing could only nod.

At the same time, Vatujing reported to Zhang Shixin the group of zombies that might have a certain combat ability, but it was more of a guess.

Of course, Zhang Shixin knew very well that Vatujing didn't want to enter that dangerous place. Although the zombie hordes are not terrifying, the zombies that can shoot are much more terrifying than some large zombie beasts to some extent.

It's like encountering those zombie rhinoceros now, dozens of summoner infantry are holding RPG-7s and blasting at it, and the other party can't hold on for long.

This, of course, is the way to fight in a narrow area. If in an open area, hundreds of artillery pieces and rocket artillery bombard each other, not to mention that medium and large-caliber artillery can hit a zombie rhinoceros with the current charge power, then a 420mm concrete destruction bomb, or a 600mm high-explosive shell, as long as it hits the opponent directly, the coverage of the explosion is larger than his body, it can be said that a zombie rhinoceros is not strange with one shot.

However, I haven't tried what the situation is, and Zhang Shixin is not easy to make a conclusion. Of course, the mobile artillery formation that followed the battle of Vatutin, a 155mm shell fired by Lorraine 155-50/51, due to the upgrade of the charge, can clear the crater plus the effective killing range of zombies with a radius of three to four meters around the periphery, but unfortunately, this range is quite irregular, after all, the back of the zombie's head is quite fragile, and the zombie with the power of the frontal explosion and the shock wave is not very good.

In such a situation, Vatutin can only advance step by step, he knows very well that it is not that the artillery is not powerful, but that the number of these zombies is quite large, and many of the zombies who are facing each other head-on are actually 10 meters outside the landing point of the cannonball and were shaken over by the shock wave, even if they were broken by the shock wave, but the brain and spine were not seriously injured, and they were able to continue to move their bodies forward, which is not unrelated.

In other words, it is a living charge, and under such a degree of shelling, it is good to have not completely lost its combat effectiveness.

However, zombies and living people are obviously two categories of existence, and the vitality of zombies is more tenacious, and many times when encountering injuries that are enough to kill the living, zombies still have nothing to do.

Vatujin also discovered a way to incapacitate zombies by breaking the bones of their opponents' limbs.

However, Vatutin knew very well that it would be more practical and trouble-free to do this than to directly shoot the other party in the head.

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

Zhang Shixin led a group of armored vehicles, gas masks, and body armor to the entrance to the area, as well as a small number of IS-8 tanks.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring in the rich and handsome troops of the German family. It's a pity that they are too high, and Zhang Shixin can't risk the consequences of directly blowing up these walls and blasting them again.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin could only enter that area with a rather low-profile IS-8 heavy tank and three Type 62 light tanks that opened the road in front.

……

Zhang Shixin's formation was to have three Type 62 light tanks drive advanced optical observation instruments in front of the road, and the back was divided into two rows, a total of six armored vehicles equipped in front of Zhang Shixin, numbered Hannorm LCV-M65 multi-purpose armored transporter.

This thing is equipped with two MG-107LM-20mm anti-aircraft cannons unique to the system. This anti-aircraft cannon is not as good as the Vulcan cannon in terms of firepower, but its accuracy, penetration ability, and lethal effect are far superior to the Vulcan cannon.

It can be said that this thing is more suitable for the tactical needs of armored vehicles than the Vulcan cannon.

After all, it is basically impossible for the Vulcan cannon to destroy the tank, and at the same time, the armored vehicle is fighting the tank, which in itself is equivalent to looking for death.

In addition, Zhang Shixin chose this weapon, and there was another factor, that is, the Vulcan cannon could not use the machine gun base adjustment circle, and could only shoot at a certain angle.

Therefore, in order to improve the battlefield survivability of armored vehicles and a more practical combat role, Zhang Shixin could only give up the Vulcan artillery system that covered the incomparably fierce firepower, and chose a single-barreled anti-aircraft gun.

Of course, the Vulcan cannon can also be equipped with an ACOG on the gun, but this makes no sense, except for the first few rounds can be more accurate, and then shoot, the dispersion of the bullet can be said to be very chaotic, and the aiming red dots are shaking everywhere, so to speak, the recoil of the Vulcan cannon series is too great, and it can't play the role of ACOG at all.

Of course, one can ask why the Vulcan cannon can also use short bursts?

But this has to be corrected one point, that is, the so-called short burst fire of the Vulcan cannon has fired almost 20 rounds at once, so the auxiliary effect of ACOG is useless at all.

It can be said that the sight is not omnipotent, and it is quite easy to install this on the right weapon and bring out a stronger effect on the weapon.

It's a pity that the Vulcan cannon does not fall into this category.

In the case of fully equipped ACOG, Zhang Shixin could only give up the firepower to pour out the Vulcan cannon very violently, and install other anti-aircraft cannons that could be better.

Behind the six Hanomark LCV-M65 infantry transporters were IS-8 heavy tanks in the middle, flanked by assault team members wearing body armor and gas masks, holding AK-Ms with ACOG in their hands, constantly following the procession.

In fact, the subsequent troop formation was almost the same, except that the Type 62 light tank was not equipped with advanced optical equipment.

The team kept moving forward, the tracks constantly crushing the bones of some of the dead, as well as some completely unusable weapons.

Zhang Shixin sat in the middle of the team in the seat of the commander of an IS-8, and the rather narrow feeling in the turret made Zhang Shixin feel quite uncomfortable. But he also had no choice, after all, many Soviet models were so virtuous.

Zhang Shixin did not let the IS-8 in front of the team fire a flare to clear the way, because this would alarm the zombie group in Vatujing's mouth who were likely to use weapons, so Zhang Shixin now relies more on the night vision function brought by the advanced optical observer.

Although the zombie group may feel the influence of this sound that is constantly transmitted through this space, in contrast to this situation, Zhang Shixin is more worried that the zombie group will have a higher sensitivity to light, and then swarm towards his team.

Anyway, the advanced optical observation instruments of the two Type 62 light tanks were out of power, and he had prepared several sets of spare batteries, enough for this thing to turn on for a day and a night.

The team continued to move forward, and the summoners at the front of the team turned on the tactical flashlight hanging on the gun and carefully scanned the passage, and also found some fairly fresh traces of blood clotting on the ground.

At the same time, several Type 62s stopped abruptly, as they noticed from the display that something was moving in the distance.

Zhang Shixin ordered the team to be equipped to fight at any time, because at this time, the things that would move here would not be living people.

"Fire three flares in front of you, one at an interval of 400 meters!" Zhang Shixin gave his own orders to the IS-8s in front of them.

"Bang ......" "Bang ......" "Bang ......"

After quickly adjusting their muzzles, the three IS-8s fired a flare at an area of 400 meters away, and a light cluster was quickly ignited 50 meters away, and then released a fierce blue-white light, and continued to fly towards the target location.

The bright light of the flares constantly illuminated the passage, flying forward. Zhang Shixin, who was staring at the tactical map, didn't notice anything unusual until the flare landed.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but after the second flare was fired, Zhang Shixin saw that the area more than 700 meters away from the front was densely packed with zombies.

And in the hands of these zombies, they actually hold weapons.

“！！！” Of course, Zhang Shixin's surprise was on his face, he was surprised not that zombies would use weapons, but that there were too many of these zombies.

In the hands of these zombies, they are holding a rather old-fashioned firearm, and the hook of the gun head is the kind of fixed spear thorn, obviously, these troops are the soldiers who died here back then, and many of those bones and weapons are left behind by these soldiers who died directly.

At this time, Zhang Shixin heard the signal corpsman say to him: "Major Dimitri has a message that we should move forward now, or should we retreat?" ”

"Reply to him, since we are here, we will not retreat so easily! Let him give me the command of the infantry units to cover the advance of the mechanized formations at the front. Zhang Shi thought for a moment and quickly added an order in his mind: "The mortar unit keeps firing flares at me." ”

This order was given, and some of the armored vehicles jumped out of the rear compartment, and then adjusted the firing angle, constantly firing flares.

Suddenly, this passage was illuminated by flares that constantly emitted blue-white light, as if it were day.

The formation in front was changing, and the summons, who kept jumping out of the back compartments of the armored vehicles, held their weapons and lined up the formation of the platoon of the gunmen in front of the Type 62 light tank.

Zhang Shixin was a little surprised by this situation, but he was quickly relieved, although Dimitri is good at the tactics of the team, it does not mean that Dimitri will not use the shooting method of concentrated firepower.

……

After several decades, those rather ancient weapons lost their ability to shoot, but Dimitri did not overdo it, but ordered the troops to move forward slowly.

These military zombies on the other side are quite shriveled, but some zombies can still see some traces of fresh blood in their mouths, so to speak, these soldiers are staying here, but it doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to attack. At least, the group of people who rushed to attack a few days ago died in the mouths of these zombie soldiers.

Dimitri saw the almost completely decayed old-fashioned military uniforms of these zombie soldiers, and he knew very well that these people were the regular soldiers of the Hilton Empire who had died here decades ago.

It is also the people who died at the hands of demons as they were rumored in the mouths of those old people.

His mood was quite complicated, he didn't know if these seniors still had their own feelings, but for Dimitri, they were already a bunch of monsters.

So, after the two sides approached to a distance of about three hundred meters, Dimitri, in the position of the machine-gun shooter on the rear side of an armored car, shouted: "Open fire!! ”

Suddenly, there was a loud burst of gunfire in the passage.

After using a few magazines for a weapon like the AK-M, Dimitri quickly realized that the best way to fire this weapon was not a burst of fire, nor a burst of one round, but a short burst of three rounds.

As a result, Dimitri quickly corrected the way the infantry of the unit used weapons.

Therefore, there are many times when the infantry units that are constantly advancing in rows, as long as the red dot and the front sight are aimed at the neck of the zombie, the three consecutive bullets are at a certain distance, and it is easy to destroy a zombie.

Because the third bullet is accompanied by the muzzle that is constantly automatically adjusted, there is a high probability that it will penetrate the zombie's head and destroy the zombie's brain tissue.

This efficiency can be considered quite high, after all, summoners can't guarantee that even if they have ACOG's aiming ability, they can hit the heads of these zombie soldiers.

Soon, most of the soldiers in the first group had run out of bullets from their guns, and they quickly took a few steps back before letting the infantry of the second group take their place.

Of course, the infantry unit is not replaced in a single line, but with six soldiers with an M60A2 machine gun in their hands, they are firing two bursts of short bursts, maintaining a certain amount of firepower.

Behind these infantry units were several armored vehicles with on-board anti-aircraft machine guns for fire support.

Since the seat can be adjusted to the firing position, these anti-aircraft machine guns can shoot at zombie hordes at almost all angles.

If AK-M and M60 can at most be able to directly punch several blood holes in the back of the head and neck of these military zombies, then the zombies who were hit in the head by a 20mm bullet will explode directly like a watermelon.

In fact, these anti-aircraft machine guns are more likely to shoot at zombies above the chest, because 20mm bullets can effectively break the zombie's body in two.

It can be said that large-caliber weapons do not need to be too deliberate in pursuit of headshots for zombies.

For anti-aircraft machine guns, the pursuit of high hit effect is more beneficial for them to kill zombies.

The battle ahead was quite smooth, and Zhang Shixin saw a small purple dot representing zombies on the tactical map, which quickly disappeared.

In fact, there are many TV series and movies that have weakened the power of firearms a lot, in fact, a pistol can penetrate a person's body at a distance of 20 meters, not to mention many firearms with high penetration.

The United States has a distinction between civilian guns, police guns, and military guns, but that doesn't mean that civilian guns are really not powerful at all. Many of these models are not inferior to firearms from decades ago.

So, there are many shows where the AK-47's bullet is completely blocked by a dining table (Lord of War), and zombies are used to withstand the M4A1's bullet (The Walking Dead), in fact, such a thing is in reality, and the person who does it is likely to die no more.

As long as the bullet is not due to the angle factor, it is stuck and deformed by the bone, many times, the bullet passes through the zombie in front of it, and then hits the zombie in the back, which is quite normal.

Zhang Shixin is also very aware of this, but he knows that this point has little effect on zombies, after all, the key points of zombies are these two, the brain and the spine, it is difficult to have a penetrating effect if you hit the spine, and if you hit the brain, the warhead that penetrates through it is likely to fly, after all, zombies also have different heights.

It's just that Zhang Shixin quickly discovered a problem, that is, the zombie group was pressing towards them, and the distance between the two sides was only more than two hundred meters.

Zhang Shixin knew very well that his troops had not moved much at all after the shooting.

Obviously, without the support of heavy firepower, Zhang Shixin's troops could not clear up at all as fast as the opponent's advance.

Zhang Shixin didn't give a direct order, he was waiting for Dimitri's response.

Of course, Dimitri knew very well how difficult the zombie group on the opposite side was, and he also felt that Zhang Shixin did not give combat instructions, and he wanted to see his true strength.

Dimitri, of course, has some arrangements for such a situation.

He quickly put himself in the headset and shouted: "Assault men retreat, change tactical equipment to grenade launchers, machine gunners line up in two columns, and conduct a dense fire blockade!" ”

Of course, Zhang Shixin knew about Dimitri's instructions, although he was a little curious about why the other party didn't need IS-8 fire support, but according to Zhang Shixin, who was patient with his curiosity, he quickly understood how terrible Dimitri's tactical ability was.

He ordered the second platoon of machine gunners to shoot in a half-crouch position, and the third platoon of machine gunners to stand by and shoot from standby.

After the first row of machine gunners quickly retreated after draining the bullets on the guns, the machine gunners in the two rows on standby quickly received an order: "Aim at the opponent's neck and shoot at the point!! ”

Zhang Shixin was a little stunned, and Dimitri still chose the method of point shooting, because according to Zhang Shixin's approach, he would directly give the order to shoot indiscriminately, and then all kinds of firepower poured into the zombie group together.

However, despite this, he did not interfere with Dimitri's orders.

Dimitri's orders proved to be more effective in killing and injuring the zombie hordes in the front row. In half a minute, the zombie horde was once again cleared of a considerable number.

The almost imperceptible infrared rays moved again, and as the loaded gunners continued to shoot in place of the two teams of retreating machine gunners, Dimitri saw that the front of the zombie herd was only 150 meters away from the perimeter of their formation, and he gave a new combat order: "Gun grenades shoot at the zombie herds 150 meters and 200 meters away!" ”

Dimitri's order was quickly carried out by the summoners, and after more than a second, the zombie horde in the passage was quickly cleared out of an airspace.

In fact, Zhang Shixin was very stunned to see that the signs of these zombie groups on the tactical map had not completely disappeared, and he had to mutter something that made Grelian feel stunned: "MD, guns and grenades are quite immune, this is not scientific." ”

But Dimitri is not unaware of a grenade thrown into the zombie group, except for the zombies close to the explosion area, it is difficult for other zombies to effectively kill, even if it breaks the limbs and bones of the zombies, or the fragments fly into the opponent's body, as long as the brain and spine are not severely injured, the zombies cannot be effectively killed at all.

You can expect a living person to die from such an injury, but you can't expect a zombie to die even if its heart is gouged out or shattered. Because they are not people, they can only be considered monsters.

Therefore, Dimitri was quite calm about such a situation and continued to give combat instructions.

The battle was in a stalemate, but Zhang Shixin knew very well that it was undoubtedly impossible to break through the defensive front arranged by Dimitri with these weapons that could not be used.

It can be said that Zhang Shixin has seen Dimitri's debut and will be extremely perfect......

……

While Zhang Shixin's troops were blocked in the depths of the passage by the zombie hordes and were carrying out a one-sided "**", the situation in Vatujing was quite bad.

Although it is said that the battle has not started, the information from several WZ-131s that have been sent out by Vatutin to guard the perimeter indicates that a huge group of zombies is approaching here in the north, which can almost be said to be like a tide.

Vatujing had to think that Zhang Shixin had sent a telegram, intending to ask Zhang Shixin how he was doing.

But Vatutin forgot that in the underground area, it is difficult to transmit radio effectively, because the magnetic field underground is much stronger than that on the ground.

After receiving no reply from Zhang Shixin, Vatujing knew that the corpse tide was approaching the area west of Quimosr, and he had to order the artillery unit to be guided by reconnaissance vehicles and prepare to shell at any time.

The terrain around Quemosr is quite complicated, because to the north of Quemosir, there is a large river that cuts a mountain range, and its flow direction is from north to west, so it can be said that these zombie herds can only be approached from the east and west.

Vatujing naturally didn't know why these zombie groups that could be called corpse tides came back, and he didn't want to alarm the zombie tide for no reason, and attract zombie groups that might not be the target of Quemosel.

It's a pity that Vatutin's good wishes came to naught. According to WZ-131's report, the target of these zombie hordes is Quimosel.

Vatujing shook his head helplessly, although he was not too worried that these zombies would break through Zhang Shixin's defense system before he came out, but compared to this, he was more worried that Zhang Shixin would be in trouble underground.

"Cannon !!" Shells and rockets of various calibers quickly fell among the zombies......

A 600mm high-explosive bomb directly evaporated all the zombies in the crater with a radius of 25 meters, and directly killed the zombies with a radius of more than 40 meters by the way.

But in contrast to this situation, the zombies killed and injured by this wave of shelling are undoubtedly a drop in the ocean compared to the zombies all over the mountains.

It can be said that the long-range artillery bombardment alone cannot effectively block the attack of the zombie horde.

Vatutin even prepared for the worst.

……

Of course, Zhang Shixin is not clear about the situation on the ground, but in contrast to this situation, Zhang Shixin, who finally wiped out this wave of zombies, let the troops resupply in situ, and at the same time, quickly let one of the Type 62 light tanks conduct mobile reconnaissance in front.

Twenty minutes later, however, the Type 62 tank returned, but the shell covered with bullet marks indicated that the Type 62 was in trouble.

Just as Vatujing inferred, the enemies inside were not the ordinary zombies that Zhang Shixin had encountered before, and if it weren't for the weapons in the hands of the zombie corpses that covered this passage that couldn't be used at all, I'm afraid Dimitri's debut would not have been so perfect.

Despite this, Zhang Shixin ordered the troops to move on. (To be continued.) )
