Chapter XXXVII: The Fog in the Distance Section 21
At this point, Wei Zhongshu already understood everything that had happened, the powerful mutated beast raided the exile site, turning it into a hell on earth, so it seems that even the holy woman who went to check on it was more than lucky. "You go down first, it's important to take care of your body." Things have come to this point, it is impossible to blame the soldiers who have suffered heavy losses, Wei Zhongshu and other soldiers left, then he sighed repeatedly, most of the troops around him have been exhausted, how to take the next step? Thinking about the problem, he actually fell asleep on the table of the headquarters in a daze, and when he woke up, it was already noon on the second day! Several guards on the side have been rotated twice, and every time the guard changes, the soldiers thoughtfully remind each other not to be alarmed by the sleeping brigade deputy, he is too tired, he has been working hard for more than a week, and Wei Zhongshu is also a bit old. Rubbing his worried eyes, Wei Zhongshu slowly raised his head and touched his glasses everywhere, and the soldiers on the side saw this and hurriedly handed them to him.
"How long did I sleep?" Don't look at the soldiers, Lao Wei picked up the teacup, trying to wake himself up, it was the kind of special tea for officers, the effect was very good, I don't know how much better than the kind of horse manure taste of a few foreign coffee, it's a pity, this cup has not done its due diligence since last night - otherwise Lao Wei would not have fallen asleep! "Brigade deputy, report just from the front!" A staff officer hurriedly ran in, "You just tell me what happened!" Lao Wei's face was very unhappy, he sent Yan Wanshan to lead the army to support, how could there be new information in less than fifteen hours?
"The front line collapsed! It's all crashed! Our troops, our troops have been routed! Out of breath, he reported eagerly, the staff officer trotted all the way from the radio station to the headquarters, although the distance was not far, but the urgency of the intelligence made this guy's face pale, Lao Wei only looked down to find tea and a warm pot, but ignored this. I only heard a "snap", and the teacup fell to the ground! Powder crushed!
It's night, RS County front, time, four o'clock in the morning! The evolved zombies that had been silent for a full twenty hours were in full swing! On this kind of battlefield, where humans are already exhausted, the zombie group launched a wave of offensive that everyone present did not expect! Cornyn had the privilege of being one of the foreign witnesses to the battle. The corpse tide has always been a magic weapon for zombies to continue fighting, but against the cunning commander of R County, this tactic has purely become a refueling tactic, and they can only continue to let their troops suffer heavy losses in front of the positions set up by humans, until the arrival of that critical point, human troops will not easily give up their positions--- the critical point of zombie attack loss! But the Zombie Leader won't let it come!
The battle in the early morning continued, and the logistics personnel continued to carry a large number of boxes of ammunition into the position--- and the number of ammunition boxes labeled with the Seraphic Company was quite a lot, plus the weapons from RS County, which was enough for the zombies below to drink a pot. At midnight, the large searchlights that had been arranged in advance on the position were also turned on, and together with other lights, the entire position was illuminated as bright as day! From the sky, it can be seen that the human army relying on the position, relying on various geographical advantages, firmly controls the momentum of the zombie charge with uninterrupted firepower, and strangles them batch by batch on the constantly high corpse pile, and at the same time, those simple catapult tools --- modern version of the catapult are constantly throwing high explosives into the corpse pile, and the bulging corpse pile is blown up one by one, with the obvious intention, that is, not to let the zombies complete the corpse pile leading to the position! However, as the battle continues, the loss of cannon fodder zombies, and the human ammunition is about to run out, the density of firepower has begun to slow down slowly, and the last 100 meters of lifeline will be completely paved by the sea of zombies!
"Tell the warriors! Prepare to shrink your position, abandon the outer defense system, and enter the first defense circle of the inner layer! "Although Niu Keshen's eyes are already bloodshot, he can't rest yet, on the main position, constantly observing the changes of the zombie group, he has been giving orders, changing the configuration of troops at any time, in fact, for him, his position as the commander of the fourth regiment is much more awesome than that of Qin Gengsheng! Who has ever seen an ordinary regiment commander with almost three integrated regiments under his command? In terms of strength, he is not as good as the Praetorian Guard Regiment, but the current one regiment and two regiments alone are already greatly exceeded! "Get the Death Squad ready!" In the end, Niu Keshen's attention returned to the front-line battle situation. If the current situation continues to develop, it will naturally be easy to exterminate this group of zombies, even if the situation suddenly deteriorates, the remedial measures that he has prepared for a long time will also play a certain effect, but in Niu Caoshen's heart, there is always an ominous premonition that is tightly entangled with him, if only Yan Wanshan Staff Officer was here, looking at the light rain outside that does not stop at all, Niu privately worried about the plan he had set earlier for the first time. The battle on the battlefield showed no signs of ease, and even Cornin, a foreign officer, joined the frontline battle, using a one-handed repeating automatic weapon, because it was dark, and the soldiers in charge of his security next to him did not see this strange firearm that could be handled with one hand! With a little respect, the warriors deliberately kept their distance from him, or watched in surprise as his seemingly single-shot pistol kept blasting zombies' heads off with precision.
The desperate battle of the soldiers of R County did not let everyone see the dawn of victory, and the zombies were mighty, and in the dark and rainy night, first a high roar began to explode in front of the position! That terrible howl was like that of a drunken man, and then another roar came from the other end in the rainy night! Two behemoth monsters stepped on heavy and powerful steps, just like ancient war elephants entering the battlefield, and the shocking sound of the ground made all the warriors can't help but look at the source of the sound! With the light of the searchlight, two majestic figures revealed the faces of the deity in the light - the bald head of the light, the huge canine teeth that were exposed and rolled outward, and the whole body was full of strong muscle masses full of tendons! With the boundless power of the world, M3, the zombie humanoid tank has appeared! "Whew!!!" Apparently under an unknown order, M3 began a frontal charge with the corpses around him, followed by a large area of white P-type zombies, the classic infantry tank cooperation tactics in World War II! Niu Keshen's hair is almost straight now, he is not one of those peasant soldiers who doesn't understand fart, he knows the horror of this tactic!
"Three sons! Three sons! Bring the ammo over! Look at what you see! Come on! "Next to the catapult in the defensive position, a squad leader with the rank of captain yelled at his men." What are you in a daze, the man-eating ghost is coming up! The veteran squad leader was angry, these recruits had just entered the battlefield, and they who had not seen many scenes were often frightened, "Fuck you!" What do you see, dead mother? "A militiaman next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and he went up and slapped him in the face, only to knock the recruit back and fall on the muddy ground! But the recruit didn't seem to care, didn't care about the mud on his face, turned over and continued to look at the front line in a daze. "Are you crazy?" The veteran is not angry, and he has to step forward and continue to teach him a lesson! "Look, look!" The recruit reacted, raised his hand, and pointed straight at the position below the high ground. Everywhere he was pointing, the zombie hordes had broken through the outer and first inner blockades! A large group of P-type zombies, led by two giant ape-like zombies, began to ruthlessly strangle humans! And those blue-gray Type I zombies are also behind them, most of them have already approached the position, and it won't be long before these zombies will enter the human position! The entire position was besieged by zombies and turned into a pot of porridge! "Dare to die! Listen to orders! Niu Keshen's eyes were about to bleed, he watched the two M3s stand straight up against the fire of several light and heavy machine guns, and then as if they were taking a leisurely walk, they lifted the entire machine gun position into the sky! Those human warriors, like paper paste, were knocked into the air one by one by these big guys, or torn apart, and then thrown to the P-type zombies behind to split the corpses, and the large group of Type I zombies that followed quickly avoided the bullets that had become scattered and jumped into the human position! Before the cow gentry could react, the brutal melee had already begun. "Release the military dogs, release them all!" The mutant big dog was left by him with a dead face, saying that it was to guard the ammunition depot on the front line, but in fact, Niu Caoshen left a little selfishness, purely to intercept it as a high-end combat force, and the twenty-four big dogs rushed out under the order of the tower, and quickly fought with the corpses! The Miao people of the Eighth Death Regiment looked nervously at the battle situation in front of them, and from time to time someone looked back, they were not the kind of people who were not afraid of death at all, if it weren't for the promise of avoiding death, these young men would not stand here, "Miao Dao Team!" Preparation! The bullets of the supervision team behind the formation were loaded, and the company commander who led the team drew his pistol, "All of them, the death regiment, counter-charge!" "A husband begs for death, and ten thousand people don't do it! Shaomin went from hesitation at the beginning to the rise of killing, but in the blink of an eye, they entered a bloody state like tigers and followed the war dogs into the sea of zombies, and the most savage battle began. War dogs have been frolicking and fighting together since childhood, knowing how to cooperate, although their single combat ability has greatly exceeded the zombies on the opposite side, but they still firmly remember the training, just like wolf cubs fighting in small groups, constantly tearing open a hole in the corpse group, and the Shaomin Death Regiment is closely the simple wooden shield to form a solid long wall, sharp Miao knife and short spear neatly slash forward, a zombie that can be put into a piece at a time, when encountering an evolutionary zombie, let the big dog attack from both sides, human frontal containmentIn this way, the position was temporarily stabilized under the desperate rush of a group of desperate young people, but with the continuous influx of zombies, the tired human physical strength gradually began to be exhausted! Even the strength of the big dogs is getting weaker and weaker, this is no way to do it, in the entire mountain position, there are more and more places where the zombies are attacking, almost every area is fighting, those nimble IP zombies have crossed the death regiment and began to attack the position behind them, and if it continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before it collapses! "Whew!!" The ferocious M3 is like entering a no-man's land, wherever he has invaded is a mourning field, countless warriors have been crushed into corpses by this terrible monster, or knocked out, M3 waved his arms like a door hammer, smashing these fresh flesh and blood in rows, smashing them, until these annoying little things stop resisting, until they become delicious meat, under the strict orders of the R-type zombies, M3 will not stop his attack, As if he didn't need to taste the fruits of his victory right away, these monsters actually restrained their perverted penchant for flesh and blood, and attacked the wooden watchtowers and watchtowers that stood on the battlefield like a clock that never missed a second! As long as the M3 soldiers are worthy, a large group of IP-type zombies will follow closely, and the terrible screams of human beings will not stop for a moment! In the face of the Evolved Zombies, all martial arts and melee weapons are in vain! The ferocity of the evolved zombies that erupted at close range was stimulated by countless blood, they roared and screamed, as if they were cheering and celebrating this feast of human flesh, the position, most of which was occupied by zombies, countless human warriors were divided into different battle groups, barely resisting the pace of the zombie attack, but M3 would not be tired, and under its drive, it was only a matter of time before the human position was completely shattered.
"Lao Ming, Lao Ming, I'm dying, you can take your brothers down." On a dirt slope at the front of the position, two soldiers dragged a person with the rank of battalion commander to retreat, the wounded stopped the movements of the two, and the blood coughed up from his mouth had already made others see that this officer was dying, he was not brave, watching his men fall down one by one by those cannibals, and divide the corpses, as the commander of this battalion, he was almost crazy, but in front of the zombies, these ordinary humans could not take much advantage in close combat, and the battalion commander struggled to lead the soldiers to rush forward, A lot of evolutionary zombies have also been destroyed, but the disparity is huge! Under the strong impact of M3, the battalion commander was also knocked out, and by the time the soldiers found him out of the corpse, the battalion commander was already dying, and several fighters covered each other in order to protect him, dragging him to a safe place to retreat, as long as he walked the distance of twenty meters, there was the position of the projector above, where there were still a large number of reinforcements of fighters rushing to this side! "Battalion commander, if you hold on a little longer, we will send you to a safe place!" Looking at the slope that can be recognized with the naked eye, even in the dark, you can see it clearly, "No, I can't go back, I can't just watch the brothers of the first battalion die here!" Shaking his head, the battalion commander smiled bitterly and patted the soldier in front of him who was called Lao Ming, "Have you forgotten that military order?" Unless they die in battle, the senior commanders of the front line are not allowed to retreat easily! Even if you retreat, you have to wait until the order to retreat comes down! "The last sentence, almost like a roar, looked at the battalion commander's resolute eyes, several soldiers were silent, the promulgation of this military order has blocked the last luck of all cowards, only by fighting to the death, can there be a chance to kill a way out!" Brothers, if you are afraid of death, run for your life along the road by the river, and if you go back, you will be sent to the prison of the Seventh Division!" Even if you are not held accountable, you will be thrown into a labor camp for the rest of your life! "All the surviving warriors have burning anger in their eyes, they didn't choose to flee because they were afraid, but the front line has collapsed, all the fighters have been divided by zombies, and there is no point in fighting to the death! Retreat is the most important thing at the moment! However, before that damn order was given, they could only do their duty as warriors and continue to fight! The battle has come here, after the ordinary human warriors have lost the geographical advantage, they have been unable to resist, as more fighters fall in close combat, the defeat of the battle situation is a foregone conclusion, you can't blame these Nanban warriors for not being brave enough, in order to deal with M3, more than a dozen young warriors held a large bundle of explosives, lit the fuse, and rushed towards M3 frantically! This kind of behavior seems stupid, but it actually shows that the battle array has been destroyed to an extremely bad point, and almost all the fighters have a large number of zombies around them! Relying on the spirit of desperate fighting, a fighter still managed to run into the range of M3! M3, who didn't know how to approach dangerously, waved his arm indifferently and caught this outlaw who didn't know the height of the sky! At the moment when it was torn apart, a shocking bang exploded in the position! Within a radius of twenty meters from the M3 on the other side, all the soldiers on both sides of the melee were affected differently! Low-level zombies and ordinary humans can't withstand this terrible blasting, so almost all of them were shocked to death all over the ground, and those IP-type zombies also overturned a lot, and the few that got too close were also rolling gourds on the ground, and large swaths of dust were lifted in the blasting sound, even in the rainy night, this rushing dust did not stop immediately, "Whoa!! "M3 seems to be hurting by the explosion, and when the searchlights on the high ground focus again, I realize that this M3 is not a! Even the high-explosive was ineffective! The terrifying explosives didn't make this guy drop even a small piece of flesh! Shaking his head that seemed to be dizzy, M3's big bald head was quickly cleaned by the rain, "Whew! Oh! "This M3 seems to be very unhappy, and it is actually hurt by a group of guys who he sees as food! Striding forward, the speed of the M3 began to retaliate, it rushed into the position of the eighth death regiment, originally, if it did not come, the death regiment could support for a long time, the war did not if, the crazy M3 is like a tank driving into a flock of sheep, wherever it is swinging, the blocker is invincible! Countless warriors screamed, coughing up blood and howling backwards and flew out, more warriors stared at the blood-red eyes and rushed forward, regardless of life and death, they slashed at it with the rudimentary weapons in their hands, and the warriors in the outer circle were also supporting their comrades' desperate behavior, but everything was useless, in front of this giant beast, the strength of human beings was too small, and even the invincible firearms in their hands could not necessarily hurt it half a point, why? None of the light or heavy machine gun bullets in front of it can penetrate its armor-like skin, so what can you minions' 7.62mm bullets do? Humans are being slaughtered by clusters, those evolved zombies are originally killing gods who have honed their melee skills in countless hunts, this time against the humans who have lost their formation advantage in melee combat, in a one-on-one situation, who can resist them? Seeing that the position was being lost little by little, and the order to retreat had not been seen for a long time, the 4th Mixed Brigade, which had been fighting for another hour since 4 o'clock in the morning, had lost so much blood that it could no longer lose blood! Despair can make people crazy, and the fierce Southwest Young Folk Warrior is a model of this type! It is estimated that even those Viking berserkers in Northern Europe will be frightened by these crazy warriors when they come to the scene! The irreversible warriors smirked, threw away the Miao knives and short spears that were regarded as useless in their hands one by one, and snatched the transformation mines in the hands of those soldiers of the Fourth Regiment! --- chaos on the front has brought the fighters of the 8th Death Regiment and the 4th Regiment together! "Children of the Miao family! Huzhuo~~~~! "On the rainy and misty battlefield, under the night sky of countless flickering fireworks, an old and majestic voice is calling for its children! In the dark night, all the soldiers of the Han family camp were stunned, those shadows that jumped out of the position one by one, all of them were soldiers from the old department of Sanmiao, they did betray the once slightly evil banner behind them, but at this moment, they will use their lives to atone for their sins! The first, the second, and the third, the jumping figures crossed over their comrades one by one, and rushed into the surging zombie group without hesitation! In the eyes of the screaming zombies, these oncoming warriors were not to be feared at all! They are an undead legion, and they depend on sheer numbers! Even if the explosives that kept falling overhead could deter them for a while, they couldn't make these undead legions take half a step back! On a rainy night, the howling zombie army confronted the rampaging young death squad! The first young soldier jumped high from the dirt slope, he was holding two press-haired transformation mines in his arms, and after falling into the corpse group, it was only a few seconds, he was torn to pieces by the large group of zombies, and the corpses that were divided into flesh and blood did not wait for the moment when they could chew heartily, and the blast of the mine shock wave instantly turned the boundary into an open space! This kind of sacrifice inspired more young warriors, one after another, the soldiers with all kinds of explosives in their arms faced the corpses, and constantly made the zombies who attacked the position lose blood collectively! The two sides are like gamblers who have gambled red-eyed, throwing their troops into the battlefield on the hillside at any cost, and constantly blasting so that the zombies can't advance half a step! Several young civilian fighters actually rushed to the M3 with anti-tank mines together! Although this helpless feat was not successful, the domineering shock wave still blew up the two M3s in a daze, and it is estimated that they will not be able to identify friend or foe for a while, M3 roared wildly, constantly spinning around in the original set, trying to find out the existence that can hurt himself from the vertigo! It is estimated that in that short period of time, the R-type zombie temporarily lost control of it, and the result was that the plague god kept spinning his body, and the big fist that swept around smashed pieces of unlucky cannon fodder, and the dexterous IP-type zombie also wanted to jump out of its attack range, but the corpses crowded into a pile on the battlefield were too dense, and they had to scream and be innocently affected. The sacrifice of the young warriors sent the M3 into a frenzied rhythm, and a vacuum between the warring sides appeared on the battlefield, and the center of this chaos was the bombed M3! The surviving soldiers of the 4th Mixed Brigade looked in amazement at the terrifying monster not far away whose head had become dull, doing Brownian motion madly, and could hardly believe their good luck! Fortunately, the order was finally given: "All participating units, evacuate their positions immediately!" "The order came just in time, and the large groups of warriors broke away from the battle and began to retreat back in a panic! At this kind of night, coupled with the muddy wetlands, it was already delusional to retreat in an orderly manner, and the warriors who had just escaped from the bloody melee fled to the high ground in a panic--- where it was always the safest place! "Catapult team! Aim me into range of those two monsters and keep throwing explosives! Niu Caoshen's whole body was so anxious that his whole body seemed to be smoking, and he wandered around the position uneasily, checking his remaining soldiers, "Regiment commander, regiment commander!" A voice shouted mournfully. The cow gentleman turned around and saw a bloody guy lying on a stretcher, being carried over by two orderlies. "Commander, I'm Xiang Yong! Xiang Yong of the 8th Battalion! The tone of the father's death and mother's remarriage made Niu Caoshen feel a chill, "Xiang Yong! Something out of your dog's cock! Where's your troops! Why are there only a few?? "The cow's eyes are so red that they can't be more red, and he is about to enter the brink of rampage!" All dead, ahhhh Commander, more than 400 brothers, that's it! Ahhh Unable to care about the pain on his body, this overly injured man propped up half of his body with his hands, crying like a child who has lost his beloved toy, "Cry a dick!" Still not a man! You guys, lift this shameful thing down for me! "Niu Keshen actually can't bear to criticize his henchmen anymore, after a day and a night of fighting, his soldiers are already too tired to be tired, and to punish them again will only make his heart more painful! A slap sticks out, and there are long and short, and the cow still knows how to protect her calf! "Who else is alive? Who else? Niu Keshen shouted the names of his subordinates loudly: "Li Jingmo! What a mine dragon! Zhang Guanglin! Every time he shouted, Niu Keshen's heart dripped blood, it's over, it's all over, there are few old brothers he brought out, how will he mix it up in the future? Without the support of his subordinates, what is the point of being the head of this regiment by himself? Seeing that the soldiers who passed by him became more and more sparse, and none of the subordinates who were thinking about him came back! Niu Keshen felt that the sky had already collapsed in half! "Report to the regiment commander, the fifth battalion commander Li Jingmo came to report!" A vague shadow rushed to Niu Keshen in a few moments, and if he hadn't spoken in time, he would have been so frightened that all the guards were about to pull the trigger! "Regiment commander, Zhang Guanglin, the commander of the seventh battalion, came to report that there is still half of my army left! You can continue to fight! Please instruct! "Report to the regiment commander, the commander of the ninth battalion, He Kuanglong, completed the sniper mission, and the 137 soldiers of the battalion returned to the team smoothly!" Please indicate the next step! "One after another, seven of the eleven battalion commanders who returned are still alive, but judging from the current situation, the loss of their troops has exceeded fifty percent! Niu Keshen endured the pain in his heart, hardened his heart and continued to order: "All troops, now immediately turn to the inner defense line, and detonate the explosives in two minutes!" ”
Niu was still a little too pessimistic, and before the order to retreat on the whole line came down, most of the soldiers of the Fourth Mixed Brigade had already withdrawn to the defensive position circle of the cement bridge! The soldiers who evacuated from other directions were still entangled by the zombie group behind them, and they had to join the large group immediately, looking at the lagging soldiers who were fighting with the zombies on the bright and dark hillside position, it was impossible to save them! Niu Keshen closed his eyes and reluctantly gave the final order: "Detonate!" "Half of the positions on the mountain slopes are arranged with a sufficient amount of TNT, once detonated, the entire mountain collapsed in an instant, this is still the engineering troops repeatedly calculated, all of a sudden, tens of thousands of zombies and hundreds of soldiers in this turbulent mudflow turned into martyrs, including the two M3, were buried alive by thousands of tons of sand and mud! Now, only a huge grave is left in front of the zombie army, and on the side of the grave stands a tall cement fortress! "Niu Keshen, I order you to withdraw from the battle position immediately! Come back to the river at all costs! "When the radio is turned on, Niu Keshen hears the roar of Qin Gengsheng!" Brigade! Brigade commander, listen to me, the soldiers' losses are a bit bigger, but we can still hold it! "Don't talk nonsense with me, carry out the order! Let me tell you, there are still a few things waiting for me to deal with, and I don't have the time to break with you! You give me the order right away! Otherwise, I'll shoot you!" "At this point in the battle, Niu Caoshen is still fantasizing about continuing to rely on the position and continue to fight for the Fourth Mixed Brigade, but unfortunately Qin Gengsheng can't explain it to him, so he categorically interrupted his request for battle." Commander, let's just pull it down? The battalion commander looked at the cow in a daze, his face full of puzzlement. Execute the order, something must have happened in the rear, you guys, immediately go to the bridgehead to maintain order, and let those wounded soldiers go first! "Wounded soldiers? Where did the wounded soldiers come from? The battalion commanders looked at each other, with ugly looks on their faces--- but on the battlefield of zombies, those who could survive were able-bodied, and a few wounded soldiers were either turned into zombies or brutally amputated after being bitten! And there are still extra wounded?
At the confluence of the R River and the RS River, a large number of wrecked transport ships were exploding and burning, and even the rain could not extinguish the flames on these ownerless fleets, and with the continuous explosion sounding, two more wooden boats completely broke apart and sank into the river, a flag symbolizing the Fifth Garrison Regiment of R County was falling from the bow of the ship to the churning river in the flames, and on the river, countless corpses were drifting with the desolate flow.
