Chapter 21: The Battle of the Abandoned Tunnel

Looking at the twenty soldiers in the army carrying Type 35 infantry flamethrowers on their backs, constantly using gadgets to blunt bullets and carve out crosshairs, Zhang Shixin thought that he had done enough.

This kind of homemade dum-like bullet is also forbidden to be used in the army of this continent, because things that can greatly increase the rate of serious injury, disability and even mortality of the opposing soldiers are also not allowed in this world.

Of course, most of the grenades in World War II were soldier-made dummy bombs, which were also used on European battlefields, so the Americans were also not very kind in this regard.

Although it is said that most of them are the actions of the soldiers themselves, but the upper echelons of the army did not explicitly prohibit it, which in itself is a kind of tacit approval, and it is estimated that every Chinese will not say anything, you know.

It's just a bit of a thing in Europe......

Ahem, off topic, sorry.

Zhang Shixin naturally knew such a thing, and Fei Lei and Straar also raised vague objections.

But Zhang Shixin shook his head: "If something is beyond your common sense, you will find that it is possible to save your life by doing so." Don't worry, I assure you, I'm only going to use these bullets in that place. ”

The two looked at each other suspiciously, and finally could only nod and pick up a small file to work.

The processing of the dummy bullet can actually be completed with a small file, and the bullet that has been processed through small processing can also maintain a certain penetrating power, although the warhead rolling effect is not as big as the original, but in Zhang Shixin's eyes, it is enough to make those things that may appear look good.

Finally, after everyone was ready, Zhang Shixin took two M1911 pistols and a few magazines, handed them to Hurley and Vina, and said softly: "If you encounter danger, or if a soldier suddenly attacks you, please shoot them in the head, take care of yourself, I will do my best to protect you." ”

The two girls looked at Zhang Shixin suspiciously, not understanding why the other party would say such a thing, but they still took the pistol handed to them by Zhang Shixin.

The Santu 150 walked to the front of the group to open the way, all preloaded with high-explosive shells, followed by two armored vehicles, followed by an ammunition transporter and four flamethrowers...... If there was a bad smell in the tunnel, the whole army quickly put on gas masks. ”

After making arrangements, Zhang Shixin asked everyone to have lunch first, although it was a bit early, less than ten o'clock in the morning. But he wasn't sure he would be able to get through the large abandoned tunnel in a short time, even though it was only 35 kilometers long.

God knows what's inside, though......

"I hope there aren't any perverted creatures like tyrants or goddesses of vengeance." Zhang Shixin laughed at himself.

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

The "......Bombardment" has been arranged as a full-time flare launcher, and the "Wasp" self-propelled gun in the middle of the team fired a flare with a nominal illumination time of about 25 minutes and an effective illumination range of 150 meters towards this large abandoned tunnel.

A few seconds after the "......boom", another flare was fired into the already glowing tunnel.

"Commander, Wasp One reports that it can only fire three shells, and at further distances they have no firing angles!" The correspondent reported the incident to Zhang Shixin.

"In this way, there is no way, notify the whole convoy to move forward at a constant speed of 20 kilometers, if the vanguard can be vigilant, especially if they hear strange sounds, they must immediately inform the whole convoy! Flamethrowers are always ready to fight!! In addition, let the vehicle that plays the striker report the loss of lighting once before 50 meters, and use the flare to clear the way! Zhang Shi thought for a moment and gave a new order.

"Yes! Commander!!! The signal corps faithfully informed the whole convoy of Zhang Shixin's order, and after a while, the Santu 150 at the front of the convoy slowly advanced forward, and the other convoys began to follow.

As the Santu 150 smashed through the dense barricades and rolled them over, the convoy officially entered the sidelines with the words "Very dangerous!" Do not go deep into !! Warning signs inside a large abandoned tunnel.

……

Although it was said that there was illumination from the illumination of the fluorescent bomb, Zhang Shixin, who was looking at the situation inside the tunnel through the periscope, still felt that there was a dark feeling that made people panic.

However, in the first section of the road, apart from feeling that the air was a little stuffy, and there were some closed iron gates on both sides, Zhang Shixin did not find anything noteworthy.

However, even though he was a little worried about these iron gates, because there were too many of them, Zhang Shixin didn't plan to open them one by one to see the situation.

One thing that makes Zhang Shixin noteworthy is that there is a straight wire duct arranged on the arch bridge-shaped ceiling about 7 meters high from the ground, which is obviously the product of the electric power technology civilization, and he also knows that the magic guide civilization also has a corresponding energy channel, but it will definitely not be tied together to form this form of wire duct.

"You feel it, and you know very well that it is difficult for the current magic civilization to dig such a long and well-planned mountain tunnel." Xania's tone was a little helpless.

"But I haven't heard of such a long mountain tunnel with such a backward layout in that space, and the Lodal tunnel is only about twenty-five kilometers." Zhang Shixin was a little puzzled.

"Maybe other parallel electrical civilizations have been destroyed by the chaos of time and space, and this thing happens to appear here." Hinia uttered the possible last name.

Zhang Shixin couldn't deny it, but quietly looked at this somewhat old tunnel ruins, and had to say that although it had been eroded for an unknown amount of time, many things in it remained intact.

"By the way, have you ever heard of this tunnel being entered or used?" Xinia asked a question that Zhang Shixin hadn't thought of.

"If I'm not mistaken, some old people used to say that a regimental regular army had entered here and no one had ever come out, and then the military sent a brigade of troops and a large engineering corps into it, as if some kind of work was being carried out. It's just that only a few crazy people who entered this tunnel separately crawled out at the exit and died within a few days. The military abandoned the tunnel and warned those who informed the place not to enter. ”

Zhang Shixin paused for a moment and continued: "When some old people were chatting, they talked about why the military didn't blow up the tunnel mouth, and the military didn't seem to have given up their curiosity about this large tunnel. However, because there was no official investigation at that time, warnings had to be set up at the entrances and exits of the tunnel at both ends. That's all I know. ”

"Then you look at your quest prompt, what are the possible rewards?" Sinia asked.

"It's all a series of question marks, how do I know what that stuff is. It could be something of value, or it could be something of value. Other than these two, I can't think of any other possible surnames. Zhang Shixin sighed and expressed his helplessness.

"......" Sinia knew that what Zhang Shixin said made sense, so she stopped talking.

The convoy continued to move slowly, pausing only occasionally to allow the Wasp self-propelled guns to fire a few flare flares and explore the road ahead......

……

Half an hour later, Zhang Shixin received a message from the commander of the Santu 150 car, saying that there seemed to be drag marks similar to blood stains on the ground, and there was also a breath of [***] in the air.

"Order everyone to wear gas masks!" Zhang Shixin said, put the M38 gas mask hanging behind the commander's position in front of him and put it on, and the various members of the team quickly completed this step.

After a while, Zhang Shixin received a report that everyone was wearing gas masks, and ordered the troops to set off again, but the speed was reduced to a slow speed of about 10 kilometers per hour.

As the convoy continued to move forward, Zhang Shixin also saw those dark drag marks, and then some dusty bones or bones scattered on the ground, as well as some rusty weapons and firearms that were complete or broken.

"Tell the guide car in front to fire a flare flare on each side of the tunnel every 150 meters, and then a magnesium flare into the middle. The whole convoy is ready to go into combat at any time. ”

With Zhang Shixin's order, at each end of the convoy, two bright points of light first appeared 200 meters in front of the road, and then, a magnesium powder flare that emitted a strong white light flew straight ahead, like a passing meteor, illuminating a distance and then gradually extinguishing in the dark passage.

The convoy moved slowly like this, but the teams didn't see anything except for the increasing number of bones and weapons scattered on the ground.

It wasn't until an hour later, when they reached about 16 kilometers of the tunnel, which was clearly not finished, but was also more than four meters high, that a low, creepy howl echoed through the space.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

"Sure enough......" Looking at the wall through the periscope, Zhang Shixin vaguely heard some howl mixed with the sound of the engine. The face couldn't help but become very strange.

He'd love to get the troops out the way they came from, but the damn mission was to get him through this goddamn massive abandoned tunnel.

"Huh......" Zhang Shixin took a deep breath, and then said: "Let the armored car form an arc as much as possible at a distance of a hundred meters in front of the wall, with the hull facing the center of the wall. The tank unit except for the No. 4 anti-tank destroyer is deployed behind the armored vehicle in a cooperative defense formation, the No. 4 anti-tank destroyer protects the three self-propelled guns, and then the infantry arranges two defensive lines in the gaps on both sides of the armored vehicle, the first is the flamethrower, the second is the machine gunner, and the commander of each vehicle places the machine gun on the roof of the vehicle, and now act immediately!! ”

As Zhang Shixin's series of orders continued to be conveyed through the signal corps, the troops quickly formed the crescent-shaped defensive formation that Zhang Shixin had requested after a few minutes.

Zhang Shixin mounted an MG-34 machine gun on the top of the turret of the No. 4H type, and two large magazine boxes were placed next to the machine gun, one of which had a bullet chain loaded into the MG-34's ammunition port.

"Now, the No. 4 self-propelled gun and the "cricket" bombarded the middle of the wall, and the others ...... Ready for battle!! Glancing at the middle of the wall shining in the pale yellow light, Zhang Shixin shouted loudly, then bent down lightly and rested his head lightly on the butt of the MG-34......

The two loud "booms" and "booms" were accompanied by a burst of bricks and stones flying around the walls that made two explosions, and when the dust slowly dissipated and fell to the ground, a strange and creepy roar reached everyone's ears.

"Roaring ......"

"Ready to fire!! Machine gun attacks aim at the opponent's head as much as possible! Because he was wearing a gas mask, Zhang Shixin's voice had changed a lot, but he still let out his loudest shout.

The sound of the bolt pulling, the sound of the M35 flamethrower being ignited, and the sound of the shell being loaded were quickly drowned out under the successive and louder roars......

After a few seconds, one by one, the shriveled figures, but the "people" with a strange red glow appeared in their eyes, and the personnel who had entered the combat preparation were serious.

As for why "people"?

The appearance of these "people" has more or less appeared to be fatal to ordinary people:

Most of them are bitten open pieces of flesh on both sides of the neck, empty positions and dark gray musculature, and more or less musculature on the body is bitten open, revealing bones......

In some cases, an empty blood hole has been dug out of the heart......

In some cases, the stomach is bitten or scratched, and the gray-green intestines hang outside the abdominal cavity......

Some have broken legs......

Some of them are more one-eyed, and they don't know where they fall, revealing hollow eye sockets, and they seem to be looking at the person in front of them with an eye that emits a red light......

These "people" all have one thing in common, that is, they are swarming towards Zhang Shixin's defensive position, either walking around or crawling slowly......

……

"Holy! Is it really a zombie!? Fire!!! Zhang Shixin shouted, and then took the lead in pulling the trigger of the machine gun......

Immediately after, dozens of machine guns also let out their own howls.

The bullets that had been smoothed out and engraved with crosshairs hit the zombies, causing them to do little damage, only to pause and move on.

Even if some zombies have their spines broken, they can still crawl forward on their arms after they fall to the ground.

But once these zombies are hit in the head or neck, even if it is not hit in the brain, the enhanced bullet rolling effect will easily stir the end of the opponent's spinal nerves, destroying the opponent's nervous system, and the remaining zombies with movable heads can no longer cause any danger, and they are also likely to be trampled on their heads by their "companions......

It's just that there are too many of them, and in less than a minute, the almost countless purple dots in Zhang Shixin's mind have surged out of the open gap, and they are close to a distance of dozens of meters.

The artillery and Santu 150 arranged in the rear have already provided fire support, but in addition to directly damaging the opponent's nerve center or cutting fragments into the opponent's head, even if the explosive kinetic energy of the shell blows the opponent's limbs sideways, or throws the opponent into the air several meters away, it cannot bring enough damage to the opponent.

"Click......" Zhang Shixin pulled the trigger twice, found that there were two empty sounds in the bolt, and knew that there were no bullets, so he hurriedly opened the lid of the ammunition port, then opened another large magazine chain box, pulled out the bullet chain, put it on the ammunition port, and then slapped the cover, pulled the bolt, and bent down again to shoot.

As everyone's machine guns ran out of bullets from the large chain box sooner or later, and when the bullets were replaced, a large pile of zombies gradually approached the defensive line......

50 m ...... 40 m ...... 30 m ......

The Heavy quickly re-entered the fray and found it difficult for his shots to stop the approach of these creatures, whom the commander called zombies.

And the sub-gunners also shot at each other with their MP-38s.

But soon, their vanguard reached within 20 meters of the front of the formation......

Then 15 meters, and after a few seconds, 10 meters......

At this time, the reddish-yellow ultra-high temperature flames shot at several short points at different angles like arrows out of the chamber, and the zombies quickly became moving fire men one by one, and then slowly fell to the ground......

Zhang Shixin was a little dumbfounded, zombies are afraid of flames? The main reason he arranged this was to block the other party's advance.

Sinia rolled her eyes and said, "It's not that zombies are afraid of fire, it's that those who control this low-level living dead are afraid of heat. ”

Zhang Shixin watched the flamethrowers clear out of a safe area of more than 20 meters, which was full of shriveled corpses that were still burning, and was a little glad that he had made a mistake at the beginning.

In this way, the armored vehicle position was finally held under several extremely effective sweeps by the flamethrowers.

With the last zombie falling to the ground with its whole body burning, Zhang Shixin endured the disgusting smell and took a deep breath gently.

"Fortunately, the effect of the gas mask is good, otherwise it is not impossible to be disgusted to death by this smell...... Well? How do I feel as if the ground is shaking? Zhang Shixin glanced at the irregularly beating bullet chain and confirmed his thoughts.

"Should it be ......" Zhang Shixin raised his head, and then looked at the gap in the wall.

After a few seconds, he confirmed his thoughts, quickly bent down, and burrowed into the turret and shouted, "Retreat!! Let the infantry all get on the armored vehicles and retreat!! Evacuate all the armored vehicles and trucks!! ”

As soon as the communicator finished conveying Zhang Shixin's words, Zhang Shixin, who was about to take back the machine gun, saw that the wall seemed to be slammed by something, and after a few loud noises, Zhang Shixin, who had already quickly closed the top cover, saw a huge black shadow through the periscope, and a pair of dark blue eyes appeared more than four meters high......

……

"Firay, what happened ahead, did you see it?" Standing in the artillery position about 300 meters behind the defensive line arranged by Zhang Shixin, Straar, who was also wearing a gas mask, curiously asked Firay, who was doing the same thing.

Firay shook his head, as they were in a recessed position, and they couldn't see anything of what was going on uphill.

Although they heard the sound of continuous machine-gun fire and a low roar, they thought that Zhang Shixin had encountered some minor trouble.

It's just that Zhang Shixin's retreat order stunned them, but when they came back to their senses and were about to act, they heard what seemed to be a voice behind them, so they looked back.

By the light of the flare bombs, they found more than a hundred "people" wearing the tattered old military uniforms of King Capani[***] decades ago, some of them still wrapped in tattered shrouds, either moving slowly or crawling on their hands, with a red glow in their eyes slowly approaching them......

And more than a hundred meters behind them, a barely visible one, written in Capani script, "...... Danger, must be cleared first......" The iron door is open.

"......" Firay was dumbfounded, for such a thing had only been seen in some books in his common sense.

"......" Straar was also dumbfounded, he had never heard of this thing.

"Shoot! There's something in the back!! Firay was the first to pull out his M1911 pistol and pull the trigger on the head of a slowly moving living dead man who had moved more than 20 meters in front of them.

With this gunshot, the members of the three self-propelled guns and several transport trucks also took their weapons and relied on the vehicles as cover to shoot at these "people" who were slowly crawling forward......

……

Zhang Shixin was dumbfounded and looked at the giant bear that gradually showed its full body, the [***] fur on its body and some deep wounds showed that the bear was actually dead and zombieized, and the chin to the neck was completely gone, leaving only a huge wound The zombie bear lost the qualification to make a sound.

"It's not scientific, all the chariots are attacking this zombie bear!!" Zhang Shixin quickly shouted after coming back to his senses, and after a while, as the No. 4H fired the special armor-piercing shell of the cone rifle, several chariots fired at the zombie bear.

With a few explosions or black blood droplets splashing on the zombie bear's body, although the zombie bear did not feel pain, he was still enraged by the few chariots and tanks in front of him. Quickly ran this distance in a matter of seconds, and then slapped a claw on the back compartment of an armored car that had just finished turning......

The multi-ton armored vehicle was slapped by the huge force of the zombie bear and flew to the wall on the left, and the almost completely deformed armored vehicle splashed a little bit of blood and fell straight to the ground, turning up a cloud of dust......

"Holy! It's so brutal...... Let the artillery support!! Other vehicles are maneuvering, so don't be blown away or squashed by the opponent!! Seeing the almost completely deformed armored car, Zhang Shixin's heart was a little furious, but he didn't know that the artillery unit behind him was also helpless, and he still counted on him to support.

……

"Commander, the artillery unit is now in a bitter battle!! A zombie army appeared behind them!! After hearing the gunshots and the urgent message for help, the communicator quickly reported to Zhang Shixin.

"Didn't those armored vehicles rush back??? Turn right!! Bremer !! Zhang Shixin shouted, and Bremer quickly controlled the No. 4 H-type to swing to the right, and then stepped forward to the valve.

Looking through the periscope at the huge bear paw that he had almost come into close contact with just now, it was leaving a paw print on the ground, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations. If this zombie bear had been photographed just now, it is estimated that his fate would be the same as that armored car and the Santu 150 that was broken in two, no different from him.

Just now, the Santu 150 was slapped on the back half of the body by the zombie bear's left giant claw because it was too late to turn or the speed was too slow, and the engine and part of the fighting compartment were almost crushed into iron sheets, deeply embedded in the ground, as for the front body, after a little height, because the rear half of the body was flattened, it quickly fell to the ground, and the tactical map in Zhang Shixin's mind immediately appeared on the 33 type heavy infantry assault gun damage, except for the driver who was seriously injured, the other members were killed.

He had been complaining about why his artillery was not supporting, and now he understood......

……

A few minutes ago, the members of the "Wasp" self-propelled guns in the rearmost had to rely on vehicles for defense. And the number of losses was really a little more, and soon, all the members of the artillery crew except Gullis were pressed under the zombies, biting fiercely, and then the explosion of grenades was heard one after another......

The sound of two pistol shots came from the compartment of the SDKFZ255-SC (P) fully tracked multi-purpose auxiliary vehicle attached to the "Pong ......" and the "Wasp" self-propelled gun, and then the open rear armored door rolled down a zombie, and two bullet holes appeared in its head......

Gullis heard that two girls cooking for them were inside, so he hurriedly trotted a few steps, shook off a few zombies behind him, and came to the back compartment and said loudly, "Miss Hurley, Miss Vena!! Come out quickly, and I'll cover you!! ”

After a while, Hurley held a pistol in one hand and pulled the shivering Vina out of the back compartment quickly, but when she pulled Vena to the other side, she heard a scream: "Ah...... Let's go to hell together!! A few seconds later, Hurley, who had run away, heard a grenade explode (the M24 grenade is used in a troublesome way, please forgive me if you know the details)......

She knew that this soldier had also chosen the way to die together......

Although they were not familiar with each other, Hurley found herself feeling sad......

Then, as she ran to the back of the area with Vina, she was pulled behind another armored car by Strall, who was covering them, and Firey was shooting accurately at the heads of several zombies catching up with his pistol......

As for the anti-tank destroyer No. 4, which was in charge of the guard, the cone gun was very ineffective against the creature, so it had to rely only on machine guns for firing.

Just as the remaining dozens of zombies were once again approaching the defensive line dominated by the No. 4 anti-tank destroyer and the machine guns of two armored vehicles, the retreating armored vehicles and trucks ordered by Zhang Shixin also arrived......

After a while, as more firepower was added, the zombies were eliminated, and the other two crew members quickly re-engineered their guns. Hurley then saw several infantrymen with pistols and mutilated heads at the mutilated corpses of the already dead members of the Wasp self-propelled artillery crew.

"Why are they doing this?" Hurley tried to stop them, but was stopped by Fire: "The boss told us before he left, if someone is bitten, we must shoot him in the head." ”

"Why did he give such a cruel order?" Vina looked at Firay in disbelief, because she couldn't believe that Spice would give such an order anyway.

"I didn't understand it at first, but after looking at the clothes on those monsters, I knew, because some of those monsters were military doctors themselves, and more were officers and soldiers who had died. But they all came back to life, biting the unsuspecting military doctor to death, and then the military doctor also came back to life......"

Feret paused for a moment and continued: "Of course, they have also become the so-called living dead, and they will only bite the living when they see them, and then the people they bite to death have also become their kind...... So the boss made such an order, I can understand. I also hope that you will not be estranged from the boss for this. He's a nice guy......"

The two women looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Then there was the large room behind the iron door, which was left with nothing but some bones and badly damaged, and after a few grenades were thrown by a few soldiers, a few flamethrowers used the little fuel left to clean up everything in this large room......

Then the 128mm howitzer of the No. 4 self-propelled gun, as well as the 150mm howitzer of the "Cricket", again gave a roar that echoed in the tunnel......

……

After losing the Santu 150, the remaining four vehicles could not cause effective damage to the zombie bear, especially the No. 3 assault gun, because there was no turret, they could only dodge left and right everywhere, dodging the zombie bear's attack as much as possible.

However, two loud explosions came from the zombie bear, and after a while, the zombie bear's head fell to the ground, and then the body slowly fell to its knees......

"Boom !!" Piles of zombie flesh were crushed by the corpses of zombie bears......

And Zhang Shi looked at the broken neck of the zombie bear corpse with palpitations, and knew that this was the weakness of the other party.

However, their weapons are too powerful, and even if they can accurately hit the weak point of this zombie bear, they don't know how many shells they will have to shoot to solve it.

Fortunately, in addition to the two remaining vehicles of their own ...... "Wasp", the entire artillery crew was reimbursed?

The hints in my mind are not only the completion of the mission, but also the deaths of the ten members of the "Wasp" artillery crew.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when the "Wasp" artillery crew turned alone to cover for Loris's and Leah's armored vehicles, and he couldn't help but think of the various episodes of his first car that accompanied him through many battles, but he didn't expect that the entire artillery crew was gone here......

"......" Zhang Shixin wanted to say something, but he knew that there was no point in saying anything......

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

After passing through the tunnel exit on the other side and camping in a small basin in the mountains and forests, Zhang Shixin looked at the two metal boxes in front of him, one large and one small, and was silent......

He had opened two boxes found on a car abandoned in the middle of the road, one of which was a scientific document on lightweight, high-strength armor plates that had proven to be a viable technology.

The explanation given to him by Sinia is that this is an alternative product of the destroyed electrical civilization technology, but it may also be used in the chariots produced by Zhang Shixin later, the effect is that the armor plates of the same thickness will get a 10% increase in hardness, and the impact resistance effect will also be increased accordingly.

For example, a 50 mm vertical armor plate with this technology will give you the same amount of defense as 55 mm.

Inside the large box was about 10 kilograms of high-concentration uranium-235 wrapped in heavy lead bricks, with a concentration of 95%.

"And this uranium-235 is wrapped in a sealed lead box, otherwise you idiot will be miserable." Xinia teased Zhang Shixin, who was not in the mood, but saw that the other party just laughed softly and then stopped talking, so she didn't bother him.

……

The next morning, the convoy continued its journey, and in one corner of the forest there was a rough wooden cross with several soldiers' nameplates hanging on it, the leader of which was Gules Kanavase......

ps: Roar...... I landed on WG's satellite first...... There are a few more episodes like this in my imagination.,If I like it, I'll continue to write it then.,If you don't like it.,Forget it......

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, the cover is there, woo woo...... Let's collect more tickets.
