"Chen Yuan, how are we going to fight this time?"
On the day that the troops arrived at the Iron Fort, Chen Yuan and the others held a multi-party joint military combat meeting. At the meeting, in the face of 2 million menacing zombies, Qin Cheng didn't seem to be careful at all, and asked Chen Yuan with a relaxed face how they were going to clean up these zombies this time.
Wang Luzhou said with a smile: "Haha! I don't think it matters how you fight now. I didn't expect these 2 million zombies to be dragged from midsummer to winter by you! They deserve to be unlucky! ”
Indeed, in the past few months, Qin Cheng and Chen Yuan had already fought with zombies several times.
Even in the summer, when the zombies were at their strongest, these 2 million zombies were played around by Chen Yuan and Qin Cheng every time.
What's more, what they have to face now is only a castrated version of the zombie affected by the temperature.
So what is there to worry about!
Even if the zombies who came to attack the Steel Fortress this time were twice as many as the zombies who attacked Yangcheng at the beginning of the year.
However, Wang Luzhou also asked: "Chen Yuan, I have a question. Why are we different from the previous ones this time, blocking the zombies back first, and letting them wait until the real harsh winter in the Northeast arrives before attacking? It's winter, but it's just early winter, and the temperature hasn't dropped to a minimum. Aren't zombies less affected? ”
At this time, Chen Yuan replied helplessly: "Uncle Wang, I'm afraid that after the harsh winter comes, the zombies won't fight!" In case it shrinks back to Qiha City at that time, and comes back next year. Then we're missing a good opportunity to pick it up. And such an opportunity is estimated to be only once a year. After all, with our current strength, even if it is winter, we can't take the initiative to go to Qiha City to compete with its 3 million army. ”
Wang Luzhou couldn't help but nodded suddenly: "That's right, zombies are not stupid!" ”
Chen Yuan continued: "As for strategy and tactics. I think we're still the same this time, while slowing down the zombie army through constant attacks. The weather is getting colder day by day, and it is estimated that the river will begin to partially freeze in a few days. The later the zombie army arrives, the better it will be for us. ”
"In addition, some of their heavy siege engines were also eliminated first. But this time, we're going to keep it to less than half. If you blow up too many of their siege engines, I guess the zombies will have to give up again. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Chen Yuan also smiled.
However, he knew that when he really had to fight head-on with the army of 2 million zombies, it was estimated that it would not be so easy.
Just like in the red base areas of those years, abandoning guerrilla warfare and fighting frontal battles with an enemy with superior forces was the beginning of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression defeat.
But this time, things are different. Chen Yuan, in addition to being in an absolute inferior position in terms of troops, they also have an advantage in terms of individual firepower and environmental climate. The time, the place, the people, the steel castle accounted for two and a half.
And Chen Yuan, they had to do the same.
Because if the army of corpse kings is not wiped out this winter, at least it will be disabled. Then by the next year, they will not be able to develop well.
And the year after tomorrow, an even more deadly imperial corpse will appear!
************
It is certainly not enough to hold a joint military operations conference of many parties. There are so many things to coordinate in this big war.
But they still have plenty of time to go.
To the south, the 1st Field Brigade of the Self-Rescue Army and the 2nd Field Brigade, which had just completed the fully mechanized upgrade, were constantly harassing in the form of guerrilla warfare, dragging down the main force of the zombie herd. It makes them feel like they are stuck in a muddy pond, and they are struggling.
It's been four days, and they've just arrived in Neihe City. There are still 120 kilometers to go, and it is estimated that the zombie army will have to walk for at least 4 days. That is, around November 2nd, you will arrive at the Iron Castle.
During this period, the second snow of the year in Nenjiang County has already fallen, and it has not melted again.
And by the morning of November 2, the vanguard of the zombie army was only less than 20 kilometers away from the Iron Castle.
It was rare that the 1st and 2nd Field Brigades of the Self-Rescue Army did not attack the zombie army again, and they withdrew to the Iron Fort ahead of schedule.
Half a bowl on November 2, the zombie army arrived as scheduled.
That's a lot of land!
In order to deal with the artillery units of the self-rescue army, the advancing zombie army completely spread out 2 million zombies within a radius of 40 kilometers.
Chen Yuan and the others stood on the walls of the Steel Castle, and they couldn't see the boundary of the zombie army with binoculars.
At the same time, the zombie vanguard troops, which were the first to arrive near the Iron Castle, had already begun to dig trenches first.
In just half a day's effort, the entire Steel Fort has been completely surrounded by a zombie position about 30 kilometers long and two kilometers wide, densely packed with trenches.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Fatzi stood at the head of the city in the cold wind and waited for the zombies to attack. Because according to the management, zombie sieges are usually chosen at night.
But this time, he found that the zombies at this time were still digging trenches.
This made Zhang Fatzi wonder, and he asked with a smile: "What the hell are these zombies doing!" Don't attack, but desperately dig trenches for what! Is this trying to surround us and trap us here? ”
It is obviously impossible to trap the Iron Ciep in this way in the winter. In such weather, before humans are trapped to death, the zombies themselves will be dragged to death by the harsh winter.
Chen Yuan replied, "The Corpse King is not that stupid. They are now gathering their forces, regrouping their scattered forces, and preparing for an attack on us. To dig trenches is to prevent us from shelling them while they are gathering forces! ”
Qin Cheng sneered and said, "The current corpse control is indeed as smart as a human being, and he will not immediately pounce on a human settlement as soon as he sees it. I also know how to stand firm first. However, the Corpse King must not have imagined that we have brought them a special gift this time, even if it is a trench, it is useless. ”
Chen Yuan also smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, there are still a lot of zombies behind that have not been concentrated in their positions." When we all come, it's not too late for us to start fighting again. ”
So there was such a strange scene on the battlefield, countless zombies desperately digging trenches 2-3 kilometers away from the Iron Fort. But the Iron Fortress did not do anything at all, as if it was dark and did not see it at all, and just let them dig the rows of trenches.
It wasn't until about 3 o'clock in the morning that the zombies finally returned to the army.
At this time, in the zombie position surrounding the Iron Castle, under the trench that the zombies had just dug up, countless zombies were hiding densely!
The Corpse King was not prepared to attack the Iron Ciep at this time.
The Iron Castle has the Nenjiang River as a moat, and the geographical environment is very complicated, so it originally wanted to wait until daytime and send a small group of zombies to make a tentative attack first. Then the official offensive began that night.
But it didn't know that at this time, in the Iron Castle, the artillery unit of the Self-Rescue Army was making preparations. They filled the chambers with shells of a slightly different style......
