Chapter 260: Defeat and retreat

The shrill sirens sounded throughout the front-line camps of the suburbs.

In order to delay the corpses, Pender sent 70% of the soldiers to the front line in the suburbs. They will cooperate with the traps here to annihilate the zombies to the greatest extent.

Groups of soldiers ran out of the camp one after another, and then rushed to their designated combat positions under the arrangement of the various regiment commanders.

Sudden Sudden Rush!

The sound of automatic rifles rang out, and along with the gunshots, there were the roars of countless zombies, as well as the commanding sound of the commander.

If someone can look down from the sky, they can find that in this dense tide of corpses, groups of zombies are attracted by these soldiers, constantly heading towards traps everywhere.

Actually, these can't be considered traps, because they are all obvious things.

The most obvious barbed wire, not to mention, these criss-crossing barbed wires easily cut off the heads of zombies.

In addition to the most barbed wire, the second most important is the dug hunting traps.

Compared with those hunting traps that are not visible from the outside, these hunting traps arranged by the army are countless times more rude.

These traps are just digging a two-meter-deep hole, sticking a steel thorn straight into the middle, and you're done.

I'm afraid that the beast with the slightest wisdom in the trap will not step into it, but it is obvious that the wisdom of the zombie is not as good as that of the beast.

In the face of such an obvious trap, they all walked straight over, and then pounced straight down. The steel spike underneath the trap poured directly into their chests, piercing the back of the heart in pairs.

Then the zombies that followed behind would also pounce into this trap one after another, basically such a simple and crude trap could fix ten zombies in place.

Although this can't kill these zombies instantly, it can also make them lose all their mobility, and when their blood runs dry and all the nutrients in their bodies are consumed, death is only a matter of time.

In addition to barbed wire and hunting traps, there is a more brutal and lethal trap.

That's landmines

A group of zombies turned into the wide road, and one of the zombies stepped on the ground, a very obvious mine.

However, the mine did not detonate immediately, but instead emitted a puff of white smoke until about ten seconds later, when it was surrounded by zombies, it exploded with a bang.

The power of this blow alone directly wiped out more than thirty zombies.

Of course, due to the shortage of ammunition now, like real military mines, there are not many in the base in Xin'an City, so these mines are all made of black powder.

Although the power of black powder is the worst, as long as the amount is large enough, it can completely make up for the lack of power.

And most importantly, black powder is the easiest to produce, as long as there is enough potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal, and the military equipment in the base, black powder can be produced in large quantities.

It is precisely for these reasons that the military has been manufacturing a large number of earth bombs and mines in the past few days to make up for the shortage of bullets.

The battle between the army and the zombies is going on on almost every street in the suburbs.

With the help of countless traps, those zombies fell in pieces, and their path was almost all made of corpses.

However, the number of zombies is too much, even if a batch falls, the dense group of corpses behind will continue to trample on the corpses in front of them.

Barbed wire fences were broken, hunting traps were filled, and homemade mines were detonated, but none of them could stop the zombies from moving forward.

Looking at the zombies that stretched through the streets, stretching all the way to the end of the line of sight, these soldiers all had a deep sense of powerlessness.

They could only aim at the zombie in front of them as much as they could, and then pull the trigger to kill it.

However, the roars of their superiors would continue to ring in their ears, telling them to aim before shooting, saving every bullet.

Because they're running out of bullets......

Now, the total number of bullets in automatic rifles is only about 200,000. This is counting the 100,000 rounds of ammunition that the survivor team who came from Shuangzhou City yesterday evening traded with them.

With such a shortage of bullets, even if these soldiers in the field, every one of them is a sharpshooter, and a headshot with a gun will only kill 200,000 zombies at most, which is less than one-tenth of the total number of corpses.

This also made the feeling of powerlessness in their hearts stronger and stronger, and even some soldiers had a feeling of despair, thinking that it was impossible to win the battle at all.

It's not just these soldiers who are rushing to the front line, there is such a feeling, and in the command post on the front line, the atmosphere here is even more solemn.

Everyone didn't even dare to breathe, and almost half of the attention of the officers in the field was focused on the map in the middle.

This is a map of the suburbs, originally on the map, it was full of symbols representing traps, but as the news came back, it was now gradually replaced by red signs representing zombies.

The only thing that made them feel a little relieved was that the number of zombies killed on the number table on the side was gradually increasing.

And the number of soldiers killed, which lasted half an hour of fighting, was only a very low figure of 25.

"Report to the division commander, the results of the budget of the staff department have come out, and we can delay the zombie tide for about twelve hours in this suburb, and it is estimated that the number of zombies killed in the trap will reach 300,000." The herald reported loudly.

However, after hearing the number of only 300,000, the faces of several leaders in the field became extremely ugly.

Use traps to kill 300,000 enemies, and if you put it in previous wars, you can definitely become famous for a long time.

However, in the current tide of corpses, it is useless.

They can fully imagine that the remaining 2.2 million zombies can easily tear them to pieces.

However, after Peng De heard this report, the expression on his face did not change much, he didn't even listen carefully to the figure of 300,000, all he cared about was the previous sentence, which could be delayed for about twelve hours.

"Pass the order, all combat units, no matter what method they use, to delay the flow of corpses as much as possible." Pender opened his mouth and ordered.

"Yes!" The herald answered, and immediately went down.

And Peng De looked at these generals in the field, with a worried, apprehensive and even somewhat desperate look, he hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"I know what you're worried about, in the face of 2.5 million zombies, we have little chance of winning."

"This time, the core of our tactics is delay, we don't need to annihilate these zombies, as long as we delay, Brigadier Ye Feng finds the mutant zombie king and kills him, we can win." Pender spoke.

In a normal war, it is impossible to disclose the core tactics, but now it is different, they are facing zombies, so there is no need to worry about leakage.

Unless there is really a traitor among the human race, he personally tells this matter to the only mutant zombie king with wisdom, but the premise is that he can go to the mutant zombie king.
