Chapter 316: The Corpse Tide Strikes Three
"Everyone is here!"
The major said as he looked at the officers and subordinates around him.
"It's all right!"
Everyone replied in unison.
"Okay, let's assign the task below, the first battalion commander, the Huang company commander."
"Yes!"
Two burly officers stepped forward.
"The first battalion and tank company immediately went to Sun Moon Ridge, brought enough explosives and planted them on the high ground on both sides of this valley, and if they couldn't hold it, they would blow up the valley and try their best to stop the zombies' advance."
The major officer commanded at the two.
"Understood, let's go now!"
The two immediately continued their march towards Sunmoon Ridge with their own troops.
"The second battalion, the fourth battalion, you will carry all the mines and explosives you carry in Yaoshan Town, the density should be large, and then you hide in the houses of the town, use the terrain to snipe layer by layer, if you can't hold it, you will retreat immediately, and I will detonate the town in the end."
"Understood!"
The two battalion commanders nodded.
"Third battalion, as a regimental reserve, your department is ready to listen to orders at any time, and in addition, the artillery battalion commander will immediately find a suitable location for setting up artillery and provide long-range artillery support at any time. Everyone has heard their respective tasks clearly, so let's do it now! ”
"Yes!"
All the officers immediately returned to their respective units and began to set up.
Although they looked very calm on their faces, in fact, they knew better than anyone else that if they were not careful, they would not be able to go back, so they all wrote suicide notes before leaving.
"Quick, everybody get out of the car!"
Soon, the military trucks of the first battalion arrived at the mouth of the Riyueling Valley.
"Xiao Lin, Lao Song!"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the battalion commander calling them, Lin Zhi and Song Zude came over.
"The two of you take your special operations team to the front to observe the situation, and fire signal flares as soon as the zombies appear."
The major officer said to the two.
"Good!"
After Lin Zhi and the others left, the soldiers of the first battalion dug defensive trenches on the high ground on both sides of the valley and filled in explosives, and six tanks were deployed at the entrance to the valley. When everything is ready, there is a long wait, which is an ordeal for everyone.
"Team... Captain, the zombie tide is coming! ”
A special combat team member who was climbing on the tree was looking left and right with a telescope in his hand, and suddenly he saw a large wave of black shadows moving towards this side thousands of kilometers away, he quickly adjusted the multiple of the telescope, only to see that the black shadows were zombies, and hurriedly shouted to Lin Zhi and the others below.
"Shoot flares."
Song Zude said to the soldiers behind him.
"Battalion commander, look, flare!"
"All ready!"
As red smoke rose from the air, the commander of the first battalion ordered the entire crew to be put into combat readiness.
The tide of zombies is like a devastating force coming straight to the base of the Holy City, all the way south, they have swallowed several small and medium-sized gathering places, even the fierce mutant beasts are subconsciously avoiding it after seeing it.
"Fire!"
Soon, the vanguard of the zombie tide arrived at Sun Moon Ridge and appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and after they entered the firing range, the commander of a battalion immediately ordered to open fire.
"Da Da Da!"
"Bang bang bang!"
As the tanks opened fire first, the soldiers on the heights on both sides of the valley launched a fierce attack. In the face of the sudden attack, the zombies at the front of the march suffered, and many zombies were killed and maimed by shells, and this wave of zombies was a little chaotic.
"Don't be afraid to waste bullets, give me a hard call!"
The battalion commander shouted to the fighters around him.
The attack obviously aroused the anger of the zombies, and the zombies who had been walking began to run, fearless in the face of fierce fire, and kept roaring.
"Lao Liu, there are too many zombies, and we are afraid that more than 400 of us will not be able to hold it for even 15 minutes!"
Seeing the tide of zombies running towards them like crazy, Lin Zhi hurriedly found Lao Liu.
"Signal Corps, immediately send a report to the regimental headquarters, inform the situation of Sun Moon Ridge, apply for artillery support, the target distance and ruler are..."
"Yes!"
The signal corps immediately sent an urgent telegram to the regimental headquarters in Yaoshan Town.
"Battalion commander, the zombies are rushing over!"
The zombie tide soon rushed to the entrance of the valley, and the 6 tanks began to fire as they retreated, and a group of zombies were blown away, and soon the zombies behind filled the gap. A tank crashed into a boulder in the corner and overturned due to the driver's nervous operation error when retreating, and the zombies who caught up climbed onto the tank and kept knocking and hitting the tank. However, the armor of the tank is too hard, these ordinary zombies can't do anything at all, and although the overturned tank can't move, it can still fire and cause effective damage to the zombies. At this time, a powerful zombie appeared in the team of ordinary zombies, it roared and jumped high, broke the barrel of the cannon with a punch and threw it into the distance, and then continued to punch, knocking out the tank armor one by one.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a big explosion in the tank, it turned out that the soldiers inside knew that they couldn't run, and decided to die together and pulled the grenades on their bodies, and the explosion of the tank blew up nearly 200 zombies around, and the powerful zombie was directly gone.
"Retreat, blow up the valley!"
Seeing that a tank had been lost, the zombies had rushed into the valley, and some zombies had climbed the high ground by a ladder, the battalion commander immediately ordered the soldiers on both sides to withdraw from the trenches.
"Boom!"
When the zombies entering the valley reached the center, there was a huge explosion on the highlands on both sides, and boulders and clods of soil fell down one after another, killing and burying the zombies below, blocking the zombies' pace.
"Boom!"
At this time, the cannonballs flying in the distance directly covered the entire valley, and thousands of zombies were reduced to ashes under the artillery fire.
"Withdraw!"
Taking advantage of the cover of artillery fire, the commander of the first battalion returned to Yaoshan Town with his subordinates.
"I can't imagine that the strength of a battalion and a tank company can't hold it for even 15 minutes, what a massive corpse tide this is!"
The major's face was solemn, and his heart kept beating when he received the telegram, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it for half a day.
"Commander, I've disgraced you!"
The commander of the first battalion who came back came to the major and said ashamedly.
"Don't blame yourself, it's not your problem!"
"There are too many zombies, it's simply endless, even if we have a geographical advantage, we can't withstand the impact, lose a tank, and kill 4 soldiers."
The commander of the first battalion recounted.
"Well, go down and take the time to rest, replenish the ammunition, and I'll contact the base immediately and ask for air support."
Said the commander of the major.
"The zombie tide is coming!"
After 20 minutes, a dense crowd of zombies poured over, and all the fighters swallowed their saliva, their faces were very nervous, and some of their fingers were trembling slightly.
"Three rapid shots, let's go!"
The artillerymen in the rear received an order to immediately adjust the direction and height, load and fire shells.
"Bang!"
The zombie tide was blown out of one big pit after another, because there were too many zombies, they were all crowded together, and one cannonball could take away at least a hundred zombies.
