**********
After Liu Jinlong issued the battle order, the troops of the Self-Salvation Army soon began to advance in an all-round way.
The troops of the six battalions were divided into three routes, left, center, and right, and marched in unison towards Yunxi Town.
The left troops were the 1st and 6th Infantry Battalions of the Self-Rescue Army, with Zhang Zeshan in charge of command, cooperating with 9 tanks, 6 armored vehicles and Zhan Hu to attack.
The middle troops were the 3rd and 4th battalions, and Jiang Wenli was in charge of commanding, cooperating with 1o tanks and 6 armored vehicles to attack. Although there are no mutated creatures here, Jiang Wenli and Du Ruhai are both superpowers.
The troops on the right were the 2nd and 5th battalions, which Zhang Zhen was responsible for commanding, and cooperated with 9 tanks, 5 armored vehicles, and the Daha attack.
The three-way troops, with great momentum, approached Yunxi Town.
The battle started quickly, and although the corpse leader concentrated the main forces in the middle and rear sections of the north of Yunxi Town, it did not mean that it was in the front section, so there were no troops left to harass it.
Those zombie archers can hide anywhere, on rooftops, balconies, inside windows, behind doors, or even in snowdrifts. As soon as the troops of the Self-Salvation Army pass by, they will suddenly jump out and attack.
Naturally, the self-help army has also prepared to deal with it, and the soldiers are fully armed, and helmets and body armor are necessary. The progress is also very slow, almost building by building. It took nearly half an hour to push about 2oo meters into it.
Moreover, three helicopter gunships and one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were also hovering over the troops for reconnaissance and escort missions. Those zombies who dare to appear on the roof will definitely find the focus of the gunship cannon.
Therefore, in the first 2oo meters of the distance, the troops of the self-rescue army advanced quite smoothly.
Killed about 6oo zombies. And 4 soldiers of their own troops were accidentally shot in the face or neck by zombies, and the arrows directly penetrated the past, and they died before they could even wait for the healing potion.
In addition, more than 3o fighters were injured to varying degrees.
It is not a matter for the current zombies to open bows weighing hundreds of pounds, and the lethality is very huge. Even steel helmets and body armor can only save lives, but they cannot absolutely protect against the damage of arrows.
And after the troops successfully advanced for almost 2oo meters, they also began to be fiercely blocked by the zombie hordes. The building in front of it was full of zombies. The arrows were shot like locusts. The zombie soldiers armed with knives and guns on the road also suddenly appeared in groups and rushed to the position of the self-rescue army.
Relying on the defense of tanks, armored vehicles and surrounding houses, the soldiers of the Self-Rescue Army dodged the first dense rain of arrows from the zombies, and immediately began to counterattack to prevent the zombie herd from breaking through.
However, the attack of the zombie archers on the opposite side did not stop because the zombie infantry army rushed up. The arrows were still densely packed, flying from all directions. From time to time, soldiers of the Self-Salvation Army were shot by arrows.
"Battalion commander, the attack of the zombie archers on the opposite side is fierce! Can you request artillery support? "In just one minute, two of his soldiers have been accidentally shot by the zombie archers' arrows. Although it is not worth mentioning compared to the casualties of zombies, a company commander of the 4th Battalion still talked to Du Ruhai with a bitter face.
Du Ruhai glanced at the direction of this battalion, and was angry at that time, and scolded: "You are stupid, let the soldiers not only care about the zombie infantry charging in front of them, and immediately use some firepower to suppress the zombie archers opposite you!" Can the firepower of a bow and arrow be as strong as that of an assault rifle? β
This is the biggest problem of the self-help army at present, whether it is a senior officer or a grassroots officer, the tactical quality is really too poor. In particular, the newly formed fourth, fifth, and sixth battalions later. Anyone who has served in the military in the past, even if it is just an ordinary soldier in the reserve, has been promoted to officer.
At the same time, in the command center outside the town, Chen Yuan and the others also received the news that the troops had encountered the main force of zombies.
Through the cameras on the drones, they were able to see thousands of zombie archers shooting a dense rain of arrows at the positions of the self-rescue army. The soldiers were holding back the zombie infantry's charge with the arrows of the zombies.
Chen Yuan immediately ordered: "Lao Xu, press your gunship helicopter up, and suppress the zombie archers in those buildings for me." β
"Understood!"
The three helicopter gunships sprang into action, each of them flying in front of the zombie defense line and firing at the building where the zombie archers were hidden. The bullets were like a raging storm, and they passed in bursts when they were swept away. And in front of the 25 mm caliber heavy machine guns, the walls of those houses are almost the same as papier-mΓ’chΓ©. A large number of zombie archers were torn apart.
However, at this moment, Xu Kai on the No. 1 machine suddenly saw several giant crossbow arrows appear in the windows of several buildings, and they were all aimed at his side. I was suddenly shocked, and immediately began to control the helicopter gunship to make evasive actions, and at the same time shouted and reminded: "The enemy has siege crossbows, and all planes should pay attention to evasion." β
"Whoosh"
When Xu Kai reminded him, the siege crossbows controlled by the zombies had already been fired. At the same time, several flying corpses suddenly flashed from the building and swooped down on the three helicopter gunships at an extremely fast speed.
The helicopter piloted by Xu Kai fortunately started evasive actions in advance before the zombies shot the siege crossbow. Several javelin-like crossbow arrows flew almost past the gunship, but did not hit them.
After this, Xu Kai immediately re-stabilized the helicopter, and shot at the flying corpse that flew towards him. The bullets exploded the flying corpses in the air, and then, Xu Kai immediately aimed his weapon at the siege crossbows, destroying them one by one before they could reload.
However, not all gunships are as lucky as Xu Kai.
One of the three helicopter gunships did not escape the simultaneous attack of six siege crossbows. A sharp arrow from the right rear of the helicopter pierced through the helicopter's fuel tank. Although the safety of the helicopter was not immediately at stake, Chen Yuan ordered the damaged helicopter to return to the base immediately.
A fierce battle ensued here. The battle lasted almost 2o minutes. The zombie attack was very fierce, sending nearly 4ooo zombie infantry to charge, and the archers were at least about 2ooo. During this period, a defensive line on the right side of the Self-Salvation Army was almost broken, and if it hadn't been for Daha's sudden appearance and turning the tide, it is estimated that it would be in trouble now.
In the end, the self-salvation army managed to hold its ground. And the zombie horde also began to retreat after dropping more than 15oo zombie corpses. However, the self-rescue army could not take advantage of the victory to pursue, because there were still 2ooo zombie archers of the zombie group on the opposite defense line.
