Volume 1, Desperate Land 051, The Edge of Collapse
Gao Yang took a deep breath, jumped out of the car with a gun in the middle of the team, the sun outside the car was shining, and the weather was still very hot, but compared to the inside of the small and stuffy carriage, at least he could breathe heavily. Like other soldiers, he wore a combat uniform, a helmet, a tactical vest, and carried more than 300 rounds of ammunition on his back, two guns, one long and one short, bayonets, and his whole body was heavy.
Their combat mission was to cover the engineering troops who were dredging the viaduct, and to clear the viaduct of blocked vehicles, so that the survivors who went to the fortress and the troops who went out could go together.
This is really casual training for a few days, and I feel that the guns have not been familiar with being sent to the front line, and although the enemy they are facing has no weapons, there are many people, and they are not afraid of death.
"Class I, follow me!" Hao Nanren shouted loudly, and led his soldiers to the designated battle position under the viaduct, where they were responsible for blocking the mutants coming from under the bridge.
Below the viaduct is a residential street, with tall and low buildings on both sides, shops on both sides of the street, and the gates of the residential complex can be seen in the distance, and many vehicles are parked on the roadside parking strip as usual.
Such a life scene is familiar to everyone.
However, the streets were crowded with mutants, who heard the voice, and one by one turned their heads and ran in the direction of someone, with a large mucus-filled mouth, pupils that were not focused, and whose skin seemed to grow scales in the sun, and whose roars converged to make people's hairs stand on end.
"Don't panic, stand in line! Don't shoot without my orders! Hao Nanren loudly reprimanded his soldiers, and their squad of nine people stood in two rows in the middle of the street, one row in front of the gun and one row in the back, Hao Nanren stood aside with a gun. The streets had been set up by the engineers in front of them with many intersecting metal horses, and some vehicles were blocking the road, all of which were blocking the progress of the mutants, and they were standing behind the barricades on this floor.
"Don't shoot!"
"Don't shoot!"
"Wait until they get closer!"
"Closer!"
"Fire!"
The AK12 is a good gun, although it is relatively old, but it inherits many of the advantages of its older predecessors of the AK family, such as reliability, stability, high accuracy, powerful firepower, etc., high ammunition capacity, and it is also conducive to mass production after modification, etc., the latter three are an important guarantee of their combat effectiveness for the survivor fortress in the central mountain range of Paradise Island.
In just a few days, it is impossible to train civilians to become qualified soldiers, so they can only be trained to stand together and form a wide enough firepower network with guns through a dense rain of bullets. Eliminate or stop the mutants by shooting in turns.
This tactic is simple and crude, but the enemy they face has no tactics, not even weapons. As scary as it would be for them to pounce, their bodies were also made of meat. Even if they don't feel any pain, they will tear their limbs and break their bones until they lose their ability to move completely. It's just that a normal person may fall with a bullet, and if they don't get hit, they will need to spend a lot of bullets.
Hao Nanren did not give the order to open fire until the mutant at the front was only 30 meters away from them, on the one hand, this was to increase the hit rate as much as possible, and on the other hand, only such a close face-to-face battle could improve the courage of these ordinary people from all walks of life as soon as possible.
In fact, this distance is still relatively safe, the street is full of obstacles, and it seems that although the mutants are dense, they can't rush up all at once, that is, more than ten or twenty.
The best use of those obstacles is the steel rejection horse left by the previous engineering soldiers, the structure of this thing is very simple, that is, several pieces of steel are cross-welded together to form a triangle, the sharp and sharp side is facing up, and the three or five share a welded base, which is basically impossible to be knocked down, when the mutant rushes up, it will be blocked by these rejection horses, and if you want to climb over it, it will be cut through the abdominal cavity and chest cavity, and the internal organs will flow out, even if you run from the side, you will be cut through the body.
Therefore, when the initial small group of mutants dragged their internal organs and ran forward to crawl forward to the 30-meter area, Hao Nanren gave an order, but two people couldn't fire, not because they were afraid, but because they were vomiting.
Gao Yang stood in the first row, and when the two teammates around him couldn't stand such a scene and began to vomit, he held his breath and fired. In the first few days, the focus of training was to shoot, he already had an understanding of the characteristics of this gun, the accuracy was good, the recoil was not large, at this time he did not blindly splash the bullets, but bursts of point fire, the effect was relatively good, the first two mutants were hit in the head by him, fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Encouraged by Gao Yang, the two teammates who vomited in the dark also began to fire. They are not as stable as Gao Yang, and when they pull the trigger, they shoot in bursts, and the bullets are scattered like splashing water, some hit, and more don't know where to fly. 75 rounds of drums, they finished playing quickly, and then, according to Hao Nanren's request, after playing the bullets, they retreated to the second line to change the drums, and asked the teammates in the back row to come forward.
At this time, Gao Yang's drums were less than half-played, so he continued to stand in his position and shoot with his teammates in the second row.
After two rounds of shooting, the street in front of them was already full of mutants, some of them completely immovable, some of them still crawling forward with broken hands and feet, the ground was covered with blood and internal organs, and the pungent stench came to their faces, the stench that pricked their noses, but it was impossible not to breathe.
More mutants are still rushing forward, and there are at least hundreds of mutants in the line of fire defended by the nine of them. The closest is already within 10 meters of them. At this time, they changed their formation according to Hao Nanren's request, and the nine people lined up in a line, blocking the forward route of the mutants with dense firepower. The distance was too close, and if the firepower was insufficient, he estimated that the recruits would not be able to hold back and run back.
The corpses were piled up on the ground, and the steel horses had little effect. Their rifles were all gone, and according to Hao Nanren's request, they all put down their rifles, pulled out their pistols loaded with 33 rounds, and continued to suppress their firepower.
This is indeed a one-sided massacre, if the other party is a normal person, seeing such a scene, even if there are more partners behind, I am afraid that at this time it will not be able to hold on and flee in all directions. But the other party obviously has no feelings, neither pain nor fear.
It's Hao Nanren's group of recruits who can't hold on, first of all, physically, because of the continuous shooting, they have been a little sore, and their physical strength has dropped sharply, but more importantly, their psychology has been on the verge of collapse. Some were shouting loudly, some kept vomiting, some cried bitterly, even Gao Yang, who was the calmest before, looked more and more wrong, and felt that he was likely to shoot his teammates or hit his own head in the next step.
Hao Nanren asked to retreat and replace the team, but was refused.
Now several fronts near the viaduct are firing, where is someone to change them.
However, these are not the most serious problems, the most serious problem is that among these mutants, there are several fast-running figures, their speed is several times faster than that of the mutants, they are on all fours, covered with long hair stained with mucus and blood, judging from the shape, it is obvious that they are canines, and from the point of view of size, they are large canines.
Hao Nanren sighed in his heart, their previous target had always been to infect mutated humans, and rarely mentioned mutated animals, but they encountered them as soon as they came. And it appeared when they had run out of rifle bullets and had few pistol bullets left.
"Ahh
With a heart-rending scream, just when Hao Nanren barely hit a mutant dog with his rifle to finish all the remaining bullets in the drum, the other mutant dog suddenly jumped high and jumped over the obstacle in front of them, and when he fell again, the fat man with the largest body was the first to bear it, and he was thrown to the ground by the mutant dog. The mutant dog's mouth opened so much that it almost tore half of its face, and then bit it down so hard that it directly bit half of the fat man's head.
The scream was not from the fat man, but from his teammates next to the fat man, and he threw down the gun and turned around and ran away while screaming. But when he turned and ran, another mutant dog jumped over and took aim at him, pounced on him, and pounced on him from behind.
The oldest old militiaman had the best luck, he was accidentally killed by a bullet fired by a teammate next to him when he shot a mutant dog, and the bullet hit him directly in the center of the eyebrow, causing him to die before he could suffer.
Gao Yang was on the verge of a mental collapse because of the continuous shooting before, because the scene was too bloody, because of the pungent strong smell, and because of all kinds of emotions. This state of being on the verge of collapse may pass slowly, or it may directly cause him to go crazy by taking a step forward, but when a few mutant dogs suddenly broke through their defenses, it only led to the death of 3 teammates in an instant, and the fear that swept like a tide stimulated him to have goosebumps all over his body, and that state of mental collapse disappeared in an instant.
His movements were quite fast, the muzzle of the pistol was aimed at a mutant dog who had just jumped over an obstacle and was about to pounce on one of his teammates.
The mutant dog was shot by him, and its fierce gaze instantly turned to him, and it pounced on him with a kick. Gao Yang's conditioned reflex squatted, the mutant dog swept over his head, because of too much force, he pounced on the ground for a while before standing up again, Gao Yang's pistol ran out of bullets, and he was changing the magazine, but when he saw the dog standing up, he panicked, and the magazine couldn't get in, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't get in, and his hands were so shaky that he couldn't even hold the gun steadily.
