"Attention snipers, look for the enhanced species in the zombie horde to attack."
The zombie horde rushed to the south bank of Jiangxinzhou, and it was only 1 kilometer away from the southern wall of the Iron Castle. As the commander-in-chief of the defense of the southern wall, Zhang Zhen gave the battle order to the snipers on the southern wall.
The eight snipers in charge of defending the southern wall of the "Puff ......" opened fire one after another after receiving the order.
There were no giant corpses in the 2000 zombie horde, so their preferred target was changed to a combined corpse. These two-headed and four-armed zombies are also obvious. It's just that it's not easy to kill a combined corpse. Not only are there two key points, but they are fully armed, and 8 snipers can attack together, and they can only kill 1 at a time.
There are not many sniper rifles in the hands of the self-rescue army, and the entire sniper squadron adds up to only 34 sniper teams, and even fewer are scattered across the four city walls. The largest number of them are the western walls, and there are only 12 groups.
At this time, Chen Yuan and Zhang Fatzi had also come to the southern city wall. The formation of more than 2,000 zombies charging at full speed was indeed terrifying, but Chen Yuan was more concerned about the main force of the zombie group, so he asked Xu Kaidao with a communicator: "Old Xu, what is the movement of the main force of the zombie group in the south?" ”
"The dark sentry reports that the zombies in the south haven't moved for about 5 minutes. They stopped 2.5 kilometers away from the Iron Castle. ”
Chen Yuan repeated suspiciously: "Oh! Did they stop? ”
"Yes! It's unclear why. ”
Chen Yuan took the telescope and looked into the distance, 2.5 kilometers is actually not very far, in the telescope Chen Yuan can already see the zombie group 2.5 kilometers away. They were black and oppressed, and stood in several neat phalanxes. There are many swords and guns in the array, and the battle armor is in pieces.
If it weren't for their ugly appearance revealing their zombie identities, they would definitely think that the ancient army had reappeared.
Zhang Fatzi also asked suspiciously: "It's strange." Why don't they attack it in one go? ”
Chen Yuan replied: "I should be waiting for the results of the test of this group of cannon fodder." If I'm not mistaken, they must be flying corpses nearby observing the battlefield. ”
"Yes, indeed." Wei Chen's voice came from the communicator: "Castle Chief, at 8 o'clock, a flying corpse stopped on a branch 2 kilometers away. This guy is very cunning, probably hiding in a branch, if you don't accidentally see it, it's really hard to spot. Wei Chen said ashamedly: "But at such a long distance, we just tried two shots, and we can't hit it!" ”
Even Wei Chen had just learned to snipe, and he could hit vital points at most 1.5 kilometers away. No further afield.
"What about anti-aircraft guns?" Chen Yuan asked.
Xiao Tengcan quickly replied: "No, the position of the flying corpse is lower than our anti-aircraft guns, and the angle of the anti-aircraft guns can't hit." ”
"Flying corpses are really troublesome." Chen Shuyuan said: "They can fly, walk and stop on tree branches, so they are the best scouts. ”
"Why don't I fly over and kill it secretly?" Xiao Tengcan's voice came from the earphones. He was now in an artillery position on the high ground north of the Celestial City.
There are two high-lying places in Jiangxinzhou. A central one, where the Iron Castle was built. The other is the northern hill, 1.2 km away from the Iron Fort. This is also the highest place in the entire Jiangxin Continent. The height reaches 20 meters above sea level. It is precisely because of the existence of this hill bag that the Nenjiang River will be divided into two, thus forming such a large continent in the downstream of the hill pack.
There are no more than 50 Type 54 122mm howitzers and 2 Type 60 122mm cannons (found at the Weapons Test Center) in the Steel Fort.
So the hill to the north was flattened to the top of the hill and became a temporary artillery position.
There is only a wooden fence of about 2 meters to defend it. Because the place is not large enough, the walls are too high to obscure the angle of artillery fire.
In addition to the artillery, there is only a small number of garrison personnel who are responsible for standing guard. With the current strength of the Iron Fortress, it is impossible to divide troops to defend multiple places when encountering a large-scale zombie attack.
So the defense of the artillery array was even inferior to the village of Hatu. However, when attacked by zombie hordes, the fighters here can quickly enter the underground passage to dodge.
The plan was to dig an underground passage from the artillery position to the Iron Fort. It hasn't been dug up yet. But it's enough to hide.
Regarding Xiao Tengcan's proposal, Chen Yuan did not agree. "No, this time we are facing a zombie army with a scale of tens of thousands, and there are as many as 100 enhancements that the corpse leader can control. It's too dangerous for you to fight alone. ”
"Why don't you just bombard it with a cannon?" Zhang Fatzi suggested.
Xiao Tengcan replied: "No, it is standing on a 10-meter-high branch, and the mortar shells are not powerful enough to hurt it." The Type 54 122mm howitzer has a minimum range of 3.5 kilometers, and the flying corpse is too close to it, so it can't be exploded. ”
Zhang Fatzi scolded speechlessly: "Is there no way?" ”
Chen Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "Unless two short-range missiles are used." ”
"Uh......" Zhang Fat Man said hesitantly, "Then forget it, let it be optimistic." It's a pity to hit the flying corpse monster with just two missiles. ”
Chen Yuan and Chen Shuyuan both laughed.
At this time, 2,000 cannon fodder had already rushed to a position less than 200 meters away from the walls of the Iron Fortress.
"Fire!" Zhang Zhen gave the order to attack.
The warriors had long been ready to attack, and countless bullets erupted from the chambers of their guns on the southern city wall in an instant, heading straight for the zombies on the opposite side.
The real battle has finally begun.
The firepower of the self-rescue army was extremely fierce, and more than 300 of the 2,000 zombies had completely fallen from the distance of 100 meters.
"Bazooka, aim for the zombies with ladders! Blow up the ladder for me! ”
"Heavy machine gun, seal the zombie on the left."
Zhang Zhen's command was well organized, and every step forward of the zombie group required a huge price. But the zombie hordes are not completely powerless.
"Bow and arrow attack! Beware of concealment! ”
There are many archers with crude bows and arrows in the zombie horde, and because of the limited range, the zombie archers do not attack until they are 100 meters close to the city wall.
In the first wave of arrow rain, there were as many as 400 arrows, which fell densely like raindrops.
The warriors dodged, and the battlements on the walls were used to avoid the arrows, but several of them did not dodge and were shot by the arrows. Although most of them are shot in the arm, they are not immediately fatal. However, it is unclear whether the arrow is coated with the virus. So several people were immediately taken down for examination.
The battle continues.
Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers of the self-rescue army had just avoided the rain of arrows, the zombie group had already jumped 20 meters.
