The area of Wood Town is quite large, more than 1.2 kilometers wide from east to west, and the area through which the Hadley River flows is 1.6 kilometers long.

The combined forces of the United States and China originally stationed more than 2,000 troops to deploy along the Hadley River. Fifteen hundred men were stationed on the east, west, and south sides of Woodtown.

Other units were scattered in battalions throughout the southern area of Woodtown, allowing them to rest and prepare for the evening battle. Chen Yuan and the others knew that the zombies would definitely not live in peace at night.

And because Arthur and Willis and others strongly asked for help, after the British troops entered Woodtown, Chen Yuan and Regers divided some positions along the Hadley River for them to assist in the defense.

In this way, the coalition forces could draw an additional thousand troops to participate in the evening operation.

In fact, Regers initially suggested that the eastern, western, and southern walls of Wood Town should be defended to the British.

In this way, there was no need to worry that the British troops would not be able to hold the riverbank, and they could draw out more than 1,500 troops that they had placed on the east, west, and south sides of Woodtown.

But not to mention Chen Yuan, even Arthur and Willis did not agree to do this.

Chen Yuan disagrees because he doesn't fully trust these Britons.

Leaving three walls to the British is tantamount to handing over the gates of your own home to a stranger you just met.

What if there are people in these five settlements who are plotting against them?

When they were on the plane, they knew that one of these five settlements was very problematic!

In case they suddenly lead a strong enemy outside into the town when they are waiting for someone to fight with the zombies, and together with the zombies, give themselves a front and back attack, then the problem will be a big problem!

And letting them defend the Hadley River is different.

Even if they have any plans, they won't be able to join forces with the zombies and attack their own troops head-on!

Zombies will never cooperate with humans!

Bring them in, and they'll attack any human they can see indiscriminately!

So unless they're tired of life and want to kill themselves. Otherwise, the position can be safely handed over to them for defense.

In addition, if Arthur and the others were not allowed to participate in the defense of the Hadley River position, they were only allowed to defend the other three walls. At that time, the five forces did not fire a single shot in this offensive and defensive battle of Wood Town, so how could they show their merits.

After that, when the battle for the ownership of Wood Town was not enough, it was not enough to be lively!

Of course not.

And Arthur and the others have similar thoughts.

It's just that they think that participating in the battle, their own troops, and their combat merits can be used as an important bargaining chip in the future to fight for the ownership of Wood Town.

They didn't know at this time that Chen Yuan just wanted them to fight each other and check and balance each other for this.

But in fact, even if they knew, I am afraid that they would still jump into this pit.

Because Wood Town is so important to them!

Located in a mountain col, it is very hidden, not easy to be found by zombies outside, and it is also easier to defend, making it an ideal place to build a city.

With Wood Town, their colony will undoubtedly be safer.

It is also suitable for the development of agriculture.

Between several cols, there are some flat lands that can be developed into farmland, and the slopes can also be grazed and planted with fruit trees. When the time comes, there will be more food in the settlements.

So in contrast, near Birmingham, there is no better place to build a city.

Then he heard Regers say that they should defend the other three walls.

The leaders of several settlements are gone, arguing that they have to go to the front to help.

looks like he is righteous and awe-inspiring, and he wants to swear to the death with the zombies, which makes Regers have a headache.

He was really afraid that the British would not be able to withstand the attack of the zombies and drag them back!

However, Chen Yuan later suggested that the British should be allowed to play, and he analyzed the reasons for letting the British defend the Hadley River to Regers. Regers suddenly thought of what he heard on the plane, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At the same time, the British troops were to be deployed to defend their positions along the Hadley River.

And for this reason, Arthur and Willis have a better impression of Chen Yuan.

He was also much more polite to Chen Yuan.

It made Chen Yuan smile a little bitterly. The British were sold, and they helped count the money!

***********

The change of guard went very well.

When the British entered the position, they were full of excitement.

Of course, the officers and men at the grassroots level did not know what the leaders at the top were thinking.

It's heartfelt joy that Wood Town is about to be conquered.

When they hit Wood Town last year, the people above had already told them about the environmental advantages of Wood Town.

It's just that last year, not only did they not take down Wood Town, but they were also severely repaired by the zombies in Wood Town.

Many friends and comrades-in-arms died at the hands of the zombies.

Now that they are finally going to take down Wood Town, although they are not their main attack, they are also very happy to be able to find a field from the zombies of Wood Town.

At the same time, it also excites the combat effectiveness of the American and Chinese troops.

Whatever one may say, they are their own kind. Their fighting strength is also a cause for rejoicing.

The upper leaders of the five settlements were happy that their troops finally had the opportunity to perform in the battle against Woodtown.

As if as long as their troops were involved in this battle, they would have no problem taking control of Wood Town in the future!

For this reason, they are also especially looking forward to the next battle.

As for how many people will die in the next battle, it is not in their consideration. They always believe that it is all worth it.

But as time went on, the town of Wood slowly became calmer.

At the beginning, the troops of the coalition and the British were stationed, changed guards, and arranged defensive positions, which was still very lively.

The zombies seem to be afraid of the attack of the human troops, and they are also seizing the time to set up defenses, and the zombie soldiers on the city are back and forth, crowded with people.

The forces of humans and zombies also attacked each other.

The zombie's bow and arrow resemble a mortar, the parabolic angle is relatively high, and the condescending position is very suitable for attacking human positions across the river.

It's just that it's already night, and the human positions on the other side of the river are under light control. Zombies can't see where the human position is.

And they are not very accurate, and they need to be compensated for by quantity.

In this way, it is necessary for many zombies to attack at the same time.

It is easy for the human forces on the other side of the river, especially the coalition forces equipped with a large number of night vision devices, to find an opportunity to shoot the zombies that emerge from the city walls.

Gradually, the zombies also discovered that their attacks were not worth the losses at all.

The shooters of human troops rely on night vision devices to accurately find their location, and the hit rate of human firearms is also high.

A lot of zombies have been shot in the head.

So they later learned to be obedient and not show their heads.

Only then did the positions of both sides fall silent.

But will this silence last forever? Apparently not!
