*********************************
"2 companies, bomb drops!" The chain reaction caused by the fall of the zombies in front of the zombie group has not completely ended, and Zhang Zeshan issued a second round of bomb throwing orders.
"Bang bang bang bang......" The second round of flashbangs shone on the ground of some zombies.
This was followed by a third round. The speed of the zombie group is still very fast, but because the zombies within 50 meters in front of it have fallen, the distance between the two sides has become 150 meters again. Zhang Zeshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time, they had entered the willow ditch.
Willow Ditch, 11 kilometers away from the Iron Fort, runs east-west, only more than 200 meters wide flat land in the ditch, and on both sides is a steep hillside with a slope of more than 45 degrees, about 700 meters long.
The reason why Zhang Zeshan and the others wanted to lure the zombie group here was because Chen Yuan had set up a blocking position at the other exit of Liushugou.
The entire willow ditch is like a funnel, concentrating the originally scattered zombie hordes in the narrow ravine. However, Chen Yuan and the others can spread out their troops outside and use the most powerful firepower to destroy the dense zombies that rushed out of the ditch.
And it was also just within the range of the Iron Keep artillery position.
"Artillery position, artillery position, this is the operational command center, Zhang Zeshan They have already passed the middle section of Liushugou. Immediately start shelling according to the original plan! Immediately carry out the shelling according to the original plan! When the scouts reported to Chen Yuan that Zhang Zeshan and they had passed the middle section of the willow ditch, Chen Yuan immediately sent a communication to the artillery position of the Iron Fort.
At this time, Chen Yuan was standing on the position at the east exit of Liushugou, and he could already see Zhang Zeshan and them. They were rapidly rushing towards the positions reserved for them. Here, there are their heavy armament.
"Artillery positions understand!" On the other end of the phone, Xiao Tengcan quickly answered.
On the artillery position of the Steel Fort, all the artillery was adjusted in advance for direction and angle, and the first time he received the order, Xiao Tengcan decisively gave the order to bombard.
"Bang bang bang ......" 52 guns, firing almost simultaneously. Just a few seconds later, an earth-shattering explosion was heard inside the willow ditch.
"I ...... Depend on! At this time, the scout, who was hiding on a distant hill to observe the situation in the ditch, was completely dumbfounded. They were too shocked by the sight in their eyes to say anything. That's all I have in my head.
What a shock!
The last time 52 122-caliber guns fired a salvo was a few days ago when the zombies of Hada Town were attacking the city. However, it was night, and no one could see the shelling clearly.
But it was broad daylight, and a few of their scouts were condescending, and they could see the situation in the ditch clearly.
It's hell on earth! 52 rounds of 122 mm caliber shells directly covered an area in the willow ditch, and the zombies in the area covered by artillery fire, whether they were ordinary zombies or strengthened species, were almost blown up into the sky, and those severed heads, arms, thighs, intestines, etc., were flying all over the air!
......Although the scouts had seen some of the market, some people couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and began to vomit.
The other scouts were disgusted and reported to the command center, "Fingers...... Command center, command center, here is Hawkeye 3, shelling hits the target. It is estimated to kill 500-700 zombies. ”
"Very well, keep watching!" Chen Yuan replied, and then continued to ask the other reconnaissance teams: "Hawkeye 2 reports the situation of the zombie group over there. ”
"Command center, this is Hawkeye 2, and there are still about 700 or so zombies who have not yet entered the ravine from the west entrance of Willow Gully."
"Good!"
Then Chen Yuan sent a contact to Liu Jinlong and Zhang Zhen: "Lao Liu, you and the 2nd Battalion can act!" ”
"Roger!" To the north of Willow Gully, the tank battalion and the 2nd Field Infantry Battalion, which had been in a state of camouflage, immediately took off their camouflage and quickly moved in the direction of the western entrance to Willow Gully. They prepared to flank the troops at the east exit of Willow Gully with the front and back, trapping the zombie hordes in Willow Gully and encircling and annihilating them.
At this time, at the exit to the east of the willow ditch, Zhang Zeshan and the others had already rushed out of the willow ditch. The preset position was less than 120 meters away from the eastern exit of Willow Gully. The warriors saw their positions as excited as they saw an oasis in the desert, and they rushed forward at an accelerated speed and jumped into the positions reserved for them.
And 120 miles behind them, the forward of the zombie group has also caught up.
"Fire!" Although there are still some slower fighters who have not yet entered the position, at this time it does not affect the shooting of other troops. Chen Yuan immediately gave the order to attack the 3rd Battalion, which had been preparing on the position for a long time.
The sound of light and heavy machine guns on the "da-......" position rang out. The zombies at the exit of the willow ditch immediately fell one by one. The zombies were so dense that the female warriors of the 3rd Battalion hardly had to take aim.
But there are too many zombies, although one fell at the beginning, there are more zombies gushing out of the ditch like a flood in the back.
"Mortar battalion, 150 meters ahead, ready for the first bombing!"
"Put!"
A mortar battalion has a total of 80 mortars, and the effect of attacking at the same time is not much less powerful than 52 large-caliber guns.
Although this is the exit, which is wider than the ditch, causing the zombie herd to disperse a little more, a round of covering shelling has also wiped out nearly 400 zombies.
"Keep attacking!" Seeing that the effect was good, Chen Yuan was very satisfied.
There were only more than 8,000 zombies chased out this time, and more than 700 were eliminated by Zhang Zeshan and them at the beginning, and no less than 1,000 were killed by the attack of 122 mm caliber artillery and mortars, plus more than 150 killed by the 3rd battalion. There are only 6,100 zombies left. Chen Yuan is full of confidence in destroying these zombies.
In the direction of the Steel Fort, long-range artillery attacks are basically held every 20 seconds, while mortar battalions only need 10 seconds to do so. If you continue to bombard at this rate, it won't be long before the zombie horde will be wiped out.
But Chen Yuan is also distressed about those shells at this time! In just one round of shelling, he ran out of 52 rounds of 122 mm caliber shells, 80 mortar shells, which added up to nearly half a ton of gunpowder! Production at pyrite has only just begun, and the production of saltpeter is limited, with an average daily production of 600 kilograms of gunpowder. One round of shelling almost wiped out a day's gunpowder production, how could it not make Chen Yuan feel distressed.
Not to mention the fact that the complexity of creating shells is far from being comparable to bullets. Until now, they had only used expired shells to fill new gunpowder. And I can't make the shells completely.
At this time, the 1st Battalion, which had all returned to its positions, also joined the attack. Suddenly, the firepower of the guns on the side of the self-rescue army's position doubled. The zombie hordes are even worse.
According to the usual situation, the zombie group at this time could have relied on the numerical advantage to rush up and directly rush to the human position. After all, they still have 6,000 zombies, and the short 120 meters are not completely sealed with bullets. As long as the zombie hordes take advantage of the pause in the shelling and rush up in one go, it is still possible to break through the fire blockade of the human army.
But what's worse is that because of the previous interruption of the artillery bombardment of the Willow Gully by the long-range fire of the Iron Fort, a fault appeared in the zombie group. The first batch of 1,000 zombies rushed out and were quickly wiped out, but the zombies behind couldn't keep up, and the follow-up was powerless. It also missed the opportunity to rush to the human position in one go.
It wasn't until the self-rescue army wiped out the first batch of 1,000 zombies in front of the position that some zombies rushed out behind. (To be continued.)
