[237] Beat the Reservoir Dogs
[237] Beat the water dogs
Zhang San's position at this time, not far from the battlefield, only a few kilometers away, was located in the upper reaches of the river flowing through the wetland.
This river is marked on the map as the Shibata River, which has abundant water, 50 meters at the widest place, and only 20 or 30 meters at the narrowest beginning, meandering for hundreds of kilometers, absorbing many streams along the way, and having an independent estuary.
The river passes through many mountains and hills along the way, and this primordial wetland is one of the relatively large water conservation sources.
For this battle, Zhang San had secretly built three dam cofferdams upstream a few days earlier, quietly accumulating a part of the water source.
If Zhang Yang values the vigorous vegetation here and should be attacked with fire, then Zhang San is interested in the low-lying terrain of the plain wetland, and the strategy of flooding.
He didn't think about drowning the alloy warriors of the new dreadnought regiment directly in one fell swoop, but referring to the battle of Fubo Lake some time ago, the combat effectiveness of the alloy warriors after falling into the water was greatly reduced, and it was even difficult to save themselves, which was a good idea.
Seeing through the perspective of cannon fodder mutants, the Dreadnought entered the intended ambush site, and he immediately ordered his men to blow up the dam cofferdam.
The roar of three explosions was not too loud in the dense gunfire of the Dreadnought Regiment, Zhang Yang heard the sound, but mistakenly thought that there was an explosion inside the mutants.
Nearly half an hour had passed since the battle began, and the mutants had not even fought back at all, and were running around like a herd of livestock.
Every Metal Warrior enjoys such a fight, all they need to do is aim and shoot, and there is nothing too technical.
A warrior standing on the edge of the earthen platform, while shooting nervously, suddenly saw the mutants with vision running slowly, and some of them in the distance changed from running to swimming.
He still had some joy in his heart, mutants with limited mobility were more likely to be shot down.
But after just two minutes, he realized that something was wrong.
The wandering mutants dived into the water, with no targets left in sight to shoot.
After a while, he suddenly realized that the river was up to his feet.
How could they have water on a two-meter-high earthen platform around them?
His eyes fell, and many alloy warriors, including him, noticed the strangeness of the guards and reported to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang lifted the shooting state, and looked around, it was already a vast ocean.
"How so? Why is the water suddenly rising this season? He immediately opened the map and saw that where they were was a stretch of embankment.
Both ends of the embankment were breached, and the river overflowed into the wetland, enveloping them as if they were a small island.
"Don't panic, everyone, our alloy armor has a breathing system, even if it is all flooded, it's fine, everyone pulls each other, stay calm, don't be swept away by the flood!" Zhang Yang calmly ordered.
The river quickly rose to knee height, and the 360 Alloy warriors were chained to each other, creating a steel barrier against the flood.
Judging from the satellite map, the river water was released from the upstream pond dam cofferdam, and it was just a wave of flood peaks, and there was no follow-up.
As long as they carry it, they can calmly return to the high ground on the edge of the wetland.
Now that the wetland has become a lake, the river is muddy and roaming mutants, and it is dangerous to rush into the water.
Zhang San didn't give them a chance to stabilize their formation and mentality, and under this section of the abandoned embankment, explosives had already been planted.
Normally, it would be difficult for these explosives to damage the body wrapped in alloy armor, but now with the help of the flood, he only needs to blow up the foundation of the embankment.
A series of explosions came from the bottom of the water, the embankment collapsed in an instant, and Zhang Yang's new dreadnought regiment all fell into the water and submerged.
Fortunately, they were chained to each other in advance, and the alloy warriors quickly stabilized their figures, pulled their legs and feet out of the muddy bottom of the river, and walked as far as possible towards the rendezvous on the shore.
In the murky waters, many mutants took the opportunity to approach and launched a sneak attack.
And on the shore, there are many new mutants who come ashore first.
Armed with bazookas, individual anti-tank missiles, and a variety of light and heavy weapons, they launched a stormy counterattack against the dreadnoughts.
Zhang Yang was very depressed, he didn't expect to be smart but was mistaken by being smart, and he came to hunt by himself, but he was designed by mutants.
In the murky water, he was surrounded by his men and headed ashore, but fortunately the riverbed was covered with thick grass, and if it was all mud, I am afraid that they would have to wait for rescue at this time.
When it came to rescue, he didn't care about the problem of face, so he contacted Ning Weimin as soon as possible, asking the artillery to prepare immediately, and once he received the shooting Zhuyuan, he immediately implemented fire coverage.
He had already expected that there would be an ambush on the shore, and the dreadnoughts would be hit as soon as they appeared, but he couldn't help it, the Alloy Warriors were not afraid of water, but their weapons could not be used underwater.
Ning Weimin was okay, regardless of his previous suspicions, he ordered the artillery to prepare, and at the same time organized a regiment to prepare to meet him.
However, his modest reaction was also expected by Zhang San, and a new wave of mutants had already climbed from the cliff on the west side of Fubo Lake to approach the peak of the West Mountain.
They don't show their heads, but when they throw grenades, they blow up the artillery positions on their backs, and those shells that have just been moved out explode on the spot, causing even more damage.
Almost in just a minute, the artillery positions of the human troops were abandoned.
At the same time, the first platoon of alloy fighters who came out of the bottom of the river came under heavy fire.
Normal assault rifles and heavy machine guns have little effect on armor, but they can shatter the mask when hit on a helmet.
As for rockets and anti-tank missiles, although there are not many of them, they are quite powerful, and three or four salvos will directly blow down the alloy fighters in this platoon.
Several of the people who were directly confronted by the rockets were blown up on the spot.
Implicated by them, the other fighters also stumbled in the water and stopped the alloy warriors behind.
Zhang San has a good calculation, this is going to beat the water dog.
Zhang Yang, who was rolling in the water, was full of grievances, and still urged the soldiers in front to continue to charge.
However, the explosion in the water was particularly ferocious, even a grenade, enough to overturn them with a shock wave.
Zhang San really had no choice but to call for the troops to withdraw, flee downstream along the wash of the current, and look for another opportunity to go ashore.
It's just that their struggle in the water is not as fast as the mutants running on the shore, and they have escaped all the way and been beaten all the way, until they are a few kilometers downstream to Caishi Rock, which is a few kilometers away, and they find a respite on this relatively wide river.
Most of the mutants were on the south bank, and Zhang San led the team to log in from the north bank, and the rocks under their feet also helped their movements.
The new dreadnought regiment finally succeeded in landing with great effort, and under the cross-river return fire of several squads of snipers, the guns on the opposite bank no longer posed a threat, and Zhang Yang quickly counted the troops.
In the first decent battle, the New Dreadnought lost one-third of its strength, and the mutants eliminated were probably only one or two thousand, most of whom were just cannon fodder.
As for the new mutants, most of them didn't do any damage, except for those who were unlucky enough to be hit by artillery fire, and those who had just been killed by snipers.
He questioned why the Xishan base did not provide support in time, there was no artillery, and there was no receiving troops!
The aggrieved Ning Weimin didn't speak, and sent him a video.
The Xishan base in the picture was in a mess, the artillery positions were wreaked havoc, many artillery pieces were blown up, and the troops suffered many casualties.
What made him angry was that it was only a handful of mutants who had caused such great damage.
That's the strength of a whole division, with a team of nearly 10,000 people, and it's helpless to take a few mutants.
Ning Weimin was also very annoyed, and when he heard Zhang Yang's accusation, he threw the pot over angrily: "How good are you dreadnought group?" The loss of this battle was not caused by your indiscriminate attack? ”
Zhang Yang was speechless for a while, this battle refreshed his cognition, and he finally understood that his opponent was a cunning guy, and the new mutants under its command were actually a very terrifying species, and they used all kinds of intrigues and tricks.
