Chen Yuan said that he wanted to try to see if he could force the zombie group to attack now, and Zhang Fatzi asked suspiciously: "How can I force the zombie group over?" ”
"With artillery."
"Artillery?" Xiao Tengcan said cautiously: "Will this scare the zombie group back?" ”
In fact, if they wanted, they would have opened fire a long time ago, and the maximum range of the Type 54 122mm howitzer can reach 11 km, but if it is too close, it will not be able to hit.
But they were afraid that exposing the powerful firepower of the Steel Fortress too early would scare the zombie hordes back, so Chen Yuan and the others did not use artillery. Even the zombies did not use mortars when they attacked the city. Only a small number of rocket artillery equipped with field infantry battalions were put into service.
At this time, Chen Yuan replied with a smile: "So we can't use too much artillery, we have to take our time." ”
Xiao Tengcan nodded, in fact, he was also a little excited, this is the first time to use a large-caliber cannon, and the power must be different. At this time, he was in the same mood as when he first lit a cannon battle when he was a child. He asked, "How many do you want to use?" ”
Chen Yuan stretched out 3 fingers: "3 doors." You transfer 3 Type 54 122mm howitzers to shell the main force of the zombie group, pay attention to the landing point to rely on the back half of the zombie group, and drive them over. ”
"Roger!" Xiao Tengcan replied immediately, and at the same time gave the order.
3 guns opened fire quickly. 3 shells of 122 mm caliber whizzed away.
Tens of thousands of zombies, a large area of black pressure all over the mountains, and the artillery can hit it at will.
So, "Boom, boom! In the blink of an eye, 3 large-caliber shells exploded in the zombie array of the zombie army 2.5 kilometers away.
The zombies are standing too densely. Chen Yuan and the others could see clearly through the binoculars, and every shell blew up a large number of zombie soldiers. The twenty or thirty zombies around the center of the landing point were directly torn to pieces by the huge power of the cannonball. Those shattered bodies were blasted into the sky.
Coupled with the zombies that were hit by shrapnel and killed, Chen Yuan estimated that each shell killed at least 30 zombies this time.
"Holy! It's too powerful! Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Zhu Changshun also smiled: "In this way, if we throw a few more shells, can we directly deal with these zombies?" ”
But Chen Yuan was not so optimistic: "How can it be so easy. The corpse leader is not a fool, if the zombie group can be solved with cannonballs, then there will be no zombie crisis in the world. ”
In less than 20 seconds, the second round of shelling of 3 guns had begun. It was the same 3 shells, and this time it killed nearly 100 zombies.
Zhu Changshun watched the zombies being blown away, and asked suspiciously: "Why, can't such a powerful artillery fire deal with the zombie group?" ”
Chen Yuan shrugged and replied, "If the artillery shells can take the enemy so easily, then World War II will not have to be fought for so long." ”
"You're saying that zombie hordes can also learn the art of dodging shells?"
"Of course!"
"It's moving, it's moving!" At this time, Zhang Fatzi, who had been observing the movement of the zombie army, suddenly shouted excitedly: "The zombie army has moved!" ”
Soon, however, he made a puzzled voice: "Hey, they're scattered, and they seem to be retreating!" ”
Chen Yuan frowned, but he didn't expect that the zombie group not only did not rush forward, but retreated to the rear despite the fact that the landing point of the cannonball was in the rear.
He continued to say to the communicator: "Old Xiao, push the shelling point back 100 meters, and mobilize 10 artillery pieces this time!" Chen Yuan hopes to scare the zombies back with more intense artillery fire.
"Roger!"
Soon, 10 shells were fired, and they also exploded in the zombie army, but this time because the zombie group dispersed, 10 shells only caused 100 zombies to die. And the zombie army is still continuing to retreat.
At this time, Chen Yuan explained: "See! Corpse Collars aren't stupid, they don't stand there stupid and let us blow up. When the zombie army is dispersed, the lethality of the artillery is reduced! ”
"And as they continue to disperse, the lethality of the shells will decrease even further. As long as each zombie is about 2 meters apart, the lethality of each large-caliber shell will be reduced to 5-7. The power of the mortar will be reduced to 2-3 pieces. ”
Zhang Fatzi wailed: "Oh my day, it's so low! Then it would be better to use gunpowder to make bullets. The gunpowder and copper shell of one shell are enough to make a thousand rounds. ”
At this time, Zhu Changshun did not let go of the reminder: "The zombie group is still retreating, they will not be directly scared back by our shells, right?" ”
"Lao Xiao, use 15 doors to run, and push the shelling point back 200 meters!"
"Roger!"
After receiving Xiao Tengcan's answer, Chen Yuan continued: "Cannonballs still have to make land!" ”
He smiled: "Bullets can't hit this far." Now 12,000 zombies are okay. But in the future, if you want to deal with the 100,000 zombie army, you must first use artillery to lengthen the depth of firepower. From a dozen kilometers away, the number of zombies is constantly being reduced. Otherwise, 100,000 zombies rushed up without counting the casualties, and they couldn't be stopped by guns alone. Otherwise, in the past wars, there would not have been a situation where a position changed hands repeatedly? In addition, the Zombie will also create large armor, which will need to be knocked out by cannonballs. ”
As he spoke, the third round of shelling had ended, and the 15 shells still only killed the zombies in their early 100s. The damage is decreasing.
"They're still retreating!" Zhu Changshun reminded.
"Then keep shelling!" Chen Yuan shouted: "Old Xiao, raise 5 guns each time, and continue to bombard until you bring them over!" ”
"Roger!"
The shelling was carried out at a rate of every 20 seconds. By the time of the 7th shelling, the number of artillery pieces had risen to 35. The zombies have been evacuated to 3.5 kilometers away.
At this point, the zombie hordes no longer retreated, because the corpse leader found that no matter how they retreated, the cannonballs were always able to catch up with them, and the farthest shot even landed 1 kilometer in front of them. And the artillery fire is getting more and more intense. The zombie horde simply didn't retreat. It didn't want to run away, it just wanted to avoid the artillery so that it could attack at night.
But they didn't move forward, but controlled all the zombies lying on the ground. It had stumbled upon a cannonball that had landed near several zombies that had been left dead on the ground. As a result, the zombies lying on the ground were unscathed.
So in the next round of shelling, the casualties dropped again. A single shell can only kill about 2-3 zombies. 35 shells took out 100 zombies.
After a few more rounds of shelling, the corpse collar further discovered that the zombies in the gun pits or ditches had a lower casualty rate. So the zombies quickly made the action of making Zhang Fatzi jump up and scold his mother.
They even dig trenches again!
"I'm grass, how can I fight this! How do you say this? it! Zhang Fat scolded and scolded.
"Lao Xiao, stop the shelling!"
A total of 15 rounds were carried out before and after the shelling, killing more than 1,200 zombies and maiming more than 500. This was mainly due to the results of the first 10 rounds of shelling, and the next five rounds had little effect. By the 15th round, the zombie trenches were almost dug. A round of 35 artillery bombardments killed less than 20 zombies. There's nothing to blow up.
So Chen Yuan gave the order to stop the shelling.
