Chapter 122 Ambush on the front line

This is 1 kilometer away from the edge of the giant wood forest, and Ding Meng led more than 300 people to ambush here as the first line of ambush zombies.

At this moment, faint gunshots, grenade explosions, and screams of some people were heard in the distance.

"It seems that the zombies have begun to break into the giant woods, everyone prepares." Ding Meng shouted to the people nearby.

Ding Meng's shouts were loud, trying to cheer everyone up.

But the people still showed fearful and nervous expressions, because the screams from the front meant that the guerrilla war ahead was not going very well.

After all, there are too many zombies, even if they have been scattered by the dense forest, they are still in groups, and each team has at least a few dozen. Although they are not very intelligent, they still know how to climb trees. The trunk of the giant tree forest is too thick and has many folds, and it is very easy to climb. At the forefront of the human contingent are 30 or so sentinels, all of whom have submachine guns on their bodies. But it seems that everything is not going well, and no one escapes alive to report the situation, but more and more screams are heard.

These screams not only corroded the courage of the human team step by step, but also slowly deprived them of the courage to resist.

The female soldiers and militiamen with submachine guns and pistols were okay and not very afraid. Where could the ordinary people with wooden spears withstand the screams of death, and they broke out in a cold sweat of fear.

These dozens of people with spears were all strong men who volunteered, and they had said that they would follow Ding Meng to ambush them on the front line, but now they were frightened, and their legs were shaking in fear.

They now wanted to leave the first line and go to the second line, which was relatively safer, but it was too humiliating to think that they had volunteered before, and now they had escaped from the battle, so they didn't dare to act.

But in the end, there were still a few people who couldn't bear the fear in their hearts and secretly fled deeper into the giant woods.

Ding Meng saw that someone was escaping, and people's hearts began to disperse, and he shouted: "Don't be nervous, everyone, the terrain of the giant wood forest is extremely complicated, and as the zombies continue to go deeper, they will become more and more dispersed." By the time they get here, there won't be many of them, so don't scare yourself. ”

Ding Meng's words sounded a bit like words of comfort, but there was some truth to them. As the zombies go deeper, they become more and more dispersed, and the more dispersed they are, the less dangerous they are to humans.

However, there are still some things that everyone can't figure out. Now that everyone is only 1 kilometer away from the edge of the giant wood forest, why did Ding Meng gather more than 300 armed personnel in this position and use this place as the first line of ambush. If the zombies go deeper and more scattered, why not ambush them deeper into the Giant Woods, such as 2 or 3 kilometers from the edge?

Finally, the militia captain could not bear it any longer, and he climbed the giant tree where Ding Meng was staying, and asked him why he had arranged it this way.

After listening to his questions, Ding Meng replied, "I know you will definitely have these questions, but I don't know how to answer you. How to put it, those who understand will naturally understand. ”

"How do we understand it if you don't make it clear?"

"Don't you understand? The purpose of our stay on the front line is to minimize the number of zombies and buffer the personnel of the second and third lines. We have guns, while the personnel of the second and third lines only have wooden spears, and once they see that there are too many zombies to deal with, they will run away. They are not soldiers, most of them have no sense of battle, they will only fight with certainty. When things get worse, all they think about is running away and protecting themselves. ”

"So you're going to put us on the front line of the most dangerous thing?"

"You have guns, you are still reserve soldiers, if you don't even have this kind of awareness, who will? Do you really expect women and children with spears to go to war? Ding Meng asked rhetorically.

"I understand what you mean, only when the zombies who reach the second and third lines are very scattered, will women and children have the confidence to fight. However, the reserve soldiers are not real soldiers, and their consciousness is not high, and I am worried that if the fight really starts, they will also escape. The militia captain said.

What the militia captain said does have some truth, once there are too many zombies, it is estimated that many people will escape.

Ding Meng hesitated, and didn't know what to do?

At this time, a person next to him suddenly said to Ding Meng: "I have an idea. ”

Ding Meng and the militia captain turned their heads and looked, it turned out to be Zhuge Jun, who was originally the military advisor of the military base Meng Heng.

"What do you think?" Ding Meng asked.

"The militia captain's fears are very justified, and if the situation gets worse, they will definitely run away. So my suggestion is to tell them in advance that if the situation gets worse, you can fight and retreat at the same time, so that the effect is completely different. Zhuge Jun said.

"What do you mean?" The militia captain was a little confused.

"If you say in advance that you can fight and retreat, then in the process of retreating, everyone will still kill zombies after seeing the opportunity. Finally, you can also meet with the people on the second line and cooperate with each other. ”

"I understand, I said in advance that I could retreat while fighting, which is equivalent to giving them a preventive shot, so that once someone escapes, the morale of the army will not be shaken. It's the same as running away, and it's a world of difference between saying yes in advance and not saying yes in advance. ”

"Exactly, maybe with this method, we will kill fewer zombies, but we will keep the living force. This approach can also be taken by the second line, and in the end, the personnel of the first and second lines will all be concentrated on the third line. At that time, the zombies had been dispersed to the maximum, and the number of humans on the third line might even be higher than the number of zombies. Zhuge Jun continued to explain.

"yes, amazing, I didn't think of it before." Ding Meng admired Zhuge Jun's suggestion very much.

"Actually, you are also a strategic person, otherwise you would not have come up with a three-line buffer combat policy"

"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't have a heart, and I'm really inferior to you in terms of strategy."

"Where, where."

"Well, now is not the time to be polite," Ding Meng said to the militia captain, "hurry up, pass on the order, you can fight and retreat." The zombies are coming, hurry. ”

"Understood!"

Not long after the order was passed down, the voice of zombies gradually came, and more and more zombies were approaching the front line.

The female soldiers and militiamen on the front line lay in ambush on the high branches of the giant tree, holding their guns to the ground.

"Roar, roar, roar, ......" hordes of zombies rushed over.

"Shoot!" Ding Meng shouted.

As soon as Ding Meng shouted, the continuous gunshots suddenly resounded through the dense forest, and all kinds of birds and small animals began to scurry.

Some zombies stopped their pace and grabbed the small animal and began to gnaw, but after only a few bites, they were hit by bullets, and those who were unlucky were directly shot in the head.

Some of the zombies climbed up the giant tree along the trunk of the tree, but they were shot down before they could climb very high. However, the zombies in front were shot down, and the zombies in the back immediately followed, endlessly.
