Chapter 169: Fifth Division
However, this painful and difficult selection process did not last long before it ended.
Under the leadership of the General Staff, the army commanders conducted a simple draw, and the fifth division of Lin Qiu's army unfortunately became the selected unit.
At this time, Lin Qiu looked at the signing paper in his hand, and his palm trembled slightly uncontrollably, eager to tear the signing paper apart.
It's just that Lin Qiu finally calmed down and didn't make that impulsive gaffe.
In the end, Lin Qiu clenched his fists and declared to everyone: "Our Fifth Division of the Fifth Army has no bad seeds, this task of delaying the corpse tide is not to be handed over to my sons and daughters of the Fifth Division of the Fifth Army!" ”
……
Shout~
Boom~
At this time, all the troops who were blocking the pursuit of the corpse tide saw three red flares, shooting straight into the sky.
And these three red signal flares were naturally released by the command.
In the case of the severance of electronic communications, these three red signal flares represent only one meaning, that is, to unconditionally stop fighting and immediately withdraw from the current battlefield.
Therefore, when they saw these three red signal flares, all the soldiers who blocked the tide of corpses were stunned, and they couldn't figure out why the headquarters suddenly ordered everyone to retreat.
"Is this going to be a retreat?" Even Ning Feng exclaimed in confusion.
However, although it is impossible to understand the reason for the retreat order, it is the nature of the army to obey the order completely.
Therefore, as soon as they saw the signal flare, the front-line commanders who commanded the troops immediately changed the battle phalanx against the corpse tide.
In an instant, all the troops were no longer entangled with the tide of corpses, but quickly vented all their firepower, and then took advantage of the situation to retreat sharply, leaving this bloody battlefield full of gunsmoke.
In the process of retreating backwards, Ning Feng found a problem, that is, there was a force that still stuck to the same place, and even took the initiative to distract the troops to attract the attention of the corpse tide.
This unit that held on to its position was the Fifth Division of the Fifth Army.
The commander of the Fifth Division was Zhang Bin, and Ning Feng was also an acquaintance, and he knew that it was impossible for Zhang Bin to disobey the order.
Even, with Ning Feng's understanding of Zhang Bin, he also knew that Zhang Bin was a meticulous person, and his obedience to orders had a firm determination to die.
In an instant, Ning Feng also completely figured it out, this Zhang Bin led the army to stay in place, not disobeying orders, but obeying orders.
"The command is going to sacrifice Zhang Bin's Fifth Division in exchange for the whole army to quickly get rid of the entanglement of the corpse tide!" Ning Feng exclaimed in shock.
For such a choice of the command, although Ning Feng was extremely shocked, he could also feel recognized by it.
After all, war is emotionless, and as long as sacrifice is valuable, then what should be sacrificed must also be sacrificed!
Soon, except for Ning Feng, other people in the army also realized the responsibility of the Fifth Division.
For a time, for the perseverance and sacrifice of the Fifth Division, the whole army looked at the position held by the Fifth Division, silently took off the steel helmet, and solemnly gave a military salute.
For the respect of the officers and men of the whole army, everyone up and down the Fifth Division also saw it in their eyes and was full of lofty pride.
Self-sacrifice.
It's not a stupid choice, it's a real act of glory!
However, no matter how high-sounding the reason for the sacrifice, the fear of death is difficult for even the most determined warrior to completely abandon and forget.
Therefore, in order to let everyone fight to the death, on the position held by the Fifth Division, Zhang Bin shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "From now on, I want each of you to remember, stop thinking about survival, if anyone dares to be a deserter, Lao Tzu will be the first to shoot him!" ”
"At this moment, the sacrifice and death of you and me are more important than trying to survive, because our flesh and blood will become the first cornerstone of the end of the apocalypse!" He Chang continued to roar.
Listening to the division commander's declaration, the soldiers of the entire Fifth Division finally abandoned the hesitation and cowardice in their hearts, straightened their rifles without hesitation, and began to aim quietly at the surrounding corpse tide.
The scale of the corpse tide is very large, and the persistence of just one division will end in ten deaths.
However, even though he knew that the result would be death, not a single deserter appeared on the position left behind by the Fifth Division.
Everyone threw themselves into this mortal battle with a mortal heart.
Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home.
Manly, it should be like this!
……
……
An hour later, the entire position of the Fifth Division had been completely submerged by the tide of corpses, and only a few meters of trenches were left, and there were still a few people who insisted on resisting, and as for the rest of the soldiers, they had all been sacrificed.
At this time, in this last trench, only Zhang Bin and the three guards remained.
One of the guards pulled the trigger a few times, but found that no bullets came out of the firearm, so he couldn't help but shout in horror: "Division commander, my bullets are all gone!" ”
"Division commander, my bullets have also run out, and my grenades and mines have also run out!" Another guard shouted.
"Damn! What are you called? Zhang Bin couldn't help but scold, and then slowly sighed again, "TMD, Lao Tzu has already run out of ammunition, it seems that he is going to explain here today!" ”
"But we blocked the tide of corpses for more than an hour, and we can be regarded as having fulfilled our duties, and death is worth dying!" Zhang Bin sighed again.
Just when Zhang Bin sighed and scolded, the corpse tide finally came to the front of the trench.
Immediately, Zhang Bin and the three guards immediately raised their stabs and daggers and threw themselves out towards the corpse tide.
It's just that Zhang Bin and the others are not supermen after all, nor are they alien warriors with special abilities, and they were overwhelmed and torn apart by the tide of corpses in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Zhang Bin's legs had been torn off by zombies, and he could only fall to the ground like a puddle of mud, while more than a dozen zombies were surrounding him, greedily gnawing and devouring his body.
"Huh?"
Just when Zhang Bin was about to die in the mouth of the zombie, he saw that on the land in front of him, a high-explosive grenade was left here.
Immediately, Zhang Bin grabbed the high-explosive grenade with all his strength and quickly pulled out the pull ring of the grenade.
I saw Zhang Bin holding a high-explosive grenade in his hand, puffing out his ruptured chest and lungs and organs, and shouting with all his might: "I am a two-star major general of the Southwest Military Region, a senior commander and fighter of the army, and a ...... in command of the Fifth Infantry Division and the armored advance company."
Bang~~
It's just that before Zhang Bin finished shouting, the high-explosive grenade in his hand exploded.
With the explosion of the high-explosive grenade, Zhang Bin and dozens of zombies around him were all blown up by the impact of the explosion, and they were blown into a rain of flesh and blood.
