***********

Because the zombies concentrated most of their troops to the east of the mining area, they intended to cut off the retreat of the self-rescue army's chariot troops. As a result, there was a void in the troops in the south of the originally heavily defended area.

After discovering that they could not break through the defenses of the zombie herd from the east, the chariot troops immediately turned south and flanked the infantry units of the Self-Rescue Army from the north and south, breaking out of the encirclement.

After a hard battle, they finally succeeded in breaking through the southern defense line of the zombie group. The two forces converged to the south of the mine. The fighters of the chariot unit erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

At the same time, Chen Yuan also sent a contact to Xiao Tengcan, and he said: "Old Xiao, order the chariot troops to turn around and cooperate with us to attack the mining area, and we must rescue the soldiers in the two tanks before the zombies disassemble the tank armor!" ”

"Yes! Fort Chief! ”

"Attention all chariots, turn around on the spot, let's kill back and rescue our comrades!"

Xiao Tengcan, who was still in the chariot, immediately replied, and at the same time gave an order to all chariots to turn around and cooperate with the infantry attack.

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the armored unit were so excited that they were chased by zombies and had to leave their comrades behind and flee alone, which was a great shame for them!

At this time, Xiao Tengcan also re-contacted Chen Yuan and said: "Fort Chief, I failed to discover the tricks of the zombie group in advance, so that the chariot troops fell into the siege of zombies, and I also lost two tanks!" I ask for punishment! ”

"No, Lao Xiao, you've done a good job! If you hadn't caught it earlier before the zombies were closed, the damage to our tank troops would have been even more severe! And now the most important thing for us is to get to the position where the tank was overturned as soon as possible and rescue the fighters inside the tank. ”

"Understood!"

As a result, the converging Self-Rescue Army troops began to rush to the east of the mining area with all their might.

At this time, to the east of the saltpeter mining area, two tanks that were overturned by the zombie horde were not in good condition.

Dismantling a tank with bare hands may seem incredible to a normal person, but for zombies, it is only a matter of time. At this time, many parts of the two tanks had been dismantled and scattered all over the ground.

The turret of one of the tanks was almost pried open, and the connection between the turret and the body, in general, was the weakest point of the tank.

The tank crews in the tank were nervous. Most of them are new recruits, and since they don't have to get out of the car to fight, the level of reinforcement is not very high.

There is a crack in the connection between the tank turret and the body, and the zombies are stretching out their fingers to reach inside, although such a small gap, the zombies can't touch the self-help soldiers inside. But the soldiers in the car still shrank back in fear.

A soldier's face was as pale as dirt, and he asked his squad leader with a sad face: "Squad leader, are we going to finish this time!" ”

The leader of the chariot squad replied firmly: "No, the fort commander, they will definitely come to save us." Didn't Commander Xiao say, let's not leave the tank, have the protection of the tank and wait for rescue. ”

"But there are still so many zombies here, if a large army rushes in to save us, the casualties will be even greater, right?"

The squad leader said: "This is not something we are considering. But I trust that the Captain will not leave us. He'll do whatever he can to get us out. So everyone must persevere. ”

He continued: "In addition, we have survived until now, killing so many zombies, haven't we already earned it? If it hadn't been for the captain who rescued us all from where we were hiding, we would have starved to death by now. So even if I die today, I don't feel a loss! At least in the future, my epitaph will say that I fought to my death for the sake of the Iron Citadel and the future of humanity. It's not that it's inexplicably eaten by zombies! ”

"That's right! That's enough! The machine gunner on the chariot replied proudly: "There should be eight hundred zombies who died at my hands, if not a thousand." Lao Tzu is worth it! ”

"Me too!" The driver laughed: "In the past, I was a tractor, but I didn't expect to be able to drive a tank today." There are also many zombies who have died under my wheel! ”

"Me too, although there are not as many zombies as you who died under my cannon, the vast majority of those who were killed by me were strengthened species! This cannon is much more enjoyable than a cannon battle! ”

As soon as the squad leader said this, the fighters in the chariot regained their courage.

"Haha, yes, since I have earned so much, I won't lose if I die now. Damn, Lao Tzu will continue to kill a few zombies now, kill one more and earn one! The machine gunner said, regardless of the fact that the chariot was lying sideways at this time, he directly picked up the machine gun in the chariot and continued to fire at the outside. The others also took out their melee daggers and stabbed them hard at the gap between the turret and the body. Do your best to stop the zombies from continuing to expand the gap.

***************

At this time, with the assistance of armored troops, the troops of the self-rescue army have more firepower, and the infantry has more protection in the face of the attacks of zombie archers. However, because of the initial division of troops, the entire defensive front has fallen into passivity. Even if more and more zombies are rushing back to join the battle now, it will not be able to completely reverse the decline.

It only took more than 20 minutes for the troops of the Self-Salvation Army to finally return to the place where the chariot had been ambushed before. At this time, there are still many zombies around the two tanks that have been in the accident. The situation was already critical, but the fighters did not stop resisting.

"Brothers!" When the previous tank squad leader heard the sound of the tank, he shouted happily: "The fort commander has come to save us!" ”

"Oh......" the fighters cheered excitedly. They all thought they were going to die this time!

Fortunately, at this time, the troops of the self-rescue army finally arrived, and more than a dozen chariots with a large number of infantry swarmed up, quickly annihilating the zombies here. Only then was the 8 tank crews in the two tanks finally rescued.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after seven and a half hours of fighting, the troops of the Self-Salvation Army finally took the entire saltpeter mine completely. 4,000 zombies, including two corpses, were all wiped out. In fact, later, the two corpses saw that they couldn't hold on and wanted to escape. But there is a vast Gobi all around, and the speed is not as good as the self-help army, how can it escape.

And the casualties on the part of the self-rescue army this time are not small. A total of 41 people were killed, 78 were seriously injured and 196 were slightly injured, of which 32 were infected with the booster variant. The casualties were mainly infantry, which accounted for almost 42 per cent of the total number of infantry. Now, however, as long as no one dies, many of the wounded can regain their combat effectiveness after a few days of rest after treatment.

In addition, they found more than two dozen survivors in the saltpeter mines. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer survivors who could be searched and rescued by the self-rescue forces every time they hit a place. Those who could escape had already fled, and those who couldn't escape were either starved to death or couldn't stand the hunger and were found and killed by zombies when they went out to find food. There are really very few who can hold out until the rescue arrives.
