After Cheng Xu and the others got on the bus, the convoy did not stop for a moment, and began to return according to the established route, and no one knew whether anyone would rush to the designated evacuation point and find themselves abandoned in despair in the next ten minutes.

Due to the poor road conditions, the minibus runs on the road from time to time, and sometimes the vibration amplitude is so large that it can make people's butts bounce out of their seats.

Fortunately, there were few passengers on the bus, the space was spacious, and many seats were still empty, and most of the soldiers of the first company and the members of the Rising Sun squad found a window seat to sit on, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the window.

The street lamps on the street outside have been left unattended for a long time, and they are dim and flickering, not like breathing lamps, but like light bulbs blinking.

Normally, there would be no street lights on on this section of the road, because electricity is limited, but now the situation is different, and as for why this is happening, no one can say why.

Xiao Liu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery outside the window, couldn't see the Great Wall of Xinyuanjiang, couldn't see the troops of the Salvation Army and the 258th Division, and couldn't see zombies and mutants, he could only see the other end of the distance from afar, there were three cars with high beams, driving on the provincial road at a similar speed.

Lifting the binoculars, Xiao Liu observed that they were two armored vehicles and a bus, and it should be another rescue team evacuating.

"Well, where are we going? Isn't this the direction of the new Yuanjiang? Xiao Liu couldn't help but ask, "Why did you go farther and farther?" ”

Xiao Liu asked the question that everyone was puzzled about, and everyone raised their minds and looked at Cai Guan, who was sitting at the front of the minibus and behind the driver's seat.

Cai Guan glanced at Xiao Liu, and was reluctant to answer, but after the afterglow swept over Luo Yingnan, who was still unconscious next to Xiao Liu, Cai Guan still opened his mouth to explain: "The scale of this corpse tide is far beyond your imagination, and the reason why those zombies are not chasing you is because the mutants who manipulate them through special means are carrying the corpse tide to the Xinyuan River. If we follow the normal route back, we will run into hundreds of thousands of zombies head-on. So, we had to make a big detour and go back to the city from the other side, bypassing the tide of corpses. ”

"Oh." Xiao Liu blinked, thinking that what this person said was quite reasonable, and asked, "Do you say that Xinyuanjiang can hold it?" ”

This time Cai Guan didn't answer again, Xiao Liu continued to stare out the window, and if he listened carefully, he could hear the sound of artillery fire and explosions in the distance from time to time, but Xiao Liu couldn't see the battle even if he stared out of his sockets.

"How is Xin Yuanjiang now......" Xiao Liu muttered to himself, "Can you keep it?" If you can't keep it, where else can you go? ”

………………

The high-power lights illuminated the defensive positions on the edge of the outer city of Xinyuanjiang as bright as day, and the blazing white light sprinkled on the tide of corpses, illuminating their disgusting and disgusting faces clearly.

In the building facing them, the hideous twelve-barreled machine gun was like a giant python, spitting tongues of fire and making a dull sound like a pump, pulling up a net full of fishy death bullets to stop the vanguard of the endless sea of corpses.

This is a heavy machine gun summoned by Tang Tao, the commander of the heavy cavalry battalion, through his own ability, the power is far beyond the standard equipment, but the recoil is huge, ordinary people can't control it, even the soldiers of the Salvation Army who have been injected with a strengthening potion and wear a rune bracelet will be shocked and tremble when using such a machine gun.

And there are dozens of such machine guns in the defensive positions on the edge of the outer city of Xinyuanjiang, and every minute they are pouring copper yellow bullets in tens of thousands of units, and the bullets that clank to the ground can be spread all over the ground, and the sub-machine gunner assists the machine gunner while collecting the bullet casings on the ground.

Generally speaking, after the bullet is fired, the metal with the weaker head of the bullet case has been quenched at high temperature, losing the ductility of the metal, and even if it is recycled, it must be sent to the factory for annealing and rapid heating and cooling before it can be used again, otherwise it is extremely dangerous to backfill and launch without treatment. However, the cost of a normal cartridge case is about the same as that of a new cartridge case, and in the usual wars, there are few sub-machine gunners who are responsible for catching the cartridge casings back.

However, as far as the new Yuanjiang is concerned, copper, iron, and other metals are valuable strategic resources that cannot be easily wasted; in the past, when the new army was formed to conduct training exercises, all the bullet casings that were shot out had to be recycled, counted, and boxed, but now that the war against corpses has started in an all-round way, the recovery and secondary use of weapons resources are even more important.

These twelve-barreled heavy machine guns, named "Devil's Fangs" by the veterans, are not general-purpose bullets, but bullets summoned by Tang Tao, with limited inventory and no small manufacturing difficulties, so it is even more necessary to recover their cartridge cases.

Because they are on the defensive, most of the machine guns do not form crossfire from the two wings, but are placed on the windows and watchtowers in front of the corpse tide, and each heavy machine gun that seizes the commanding heights can cover a narrow sector area with firepower, and dozens of machine guns use the undulating defensive positions established on different floors and not only rely on the protection of machine guns, but also a natural barrier with geographical advantages.

Attentive and experienced veterans will find that the machine guns are very particular about the position of each machine gun, not only with a good firing range, but also with just the right distribution to spread their fire more often to cover the waves of corpses that are attacking the position from different directions.

Of course, the firepower of the machine-gun battery alone was not enough to crush the attack.

After precise calculations, the shells of the ground artillery regiment rushed out of the cannon chamber with flames, drew a parabola in mid-air, and accurately landed in the tide of corpses outside the effective range of the machine gun company, cutting the corpse tide into two parts, and blasting out a blank lot.

The mutants who mingle among the zombies and wait for an opportunity to attack the Heavy are known as the Grim Reaper by the elite snipers who hide in various corners.

The first wave of corpses was wiped out in the sea of fire, and the commander of the machine gun company put down his binoculars, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to the correspondent and said: "Let the units report the number and calculate how long the remaining ammunition can last?" ”

Remembering the squandering of bullets when dozens of their machine guns fired in unison just now, the commander of the machine gun company pinched his teeth in pain. Now we are fighting a war against the corpses, and the significance of psychological warfare to zombies is equal to zero, even if the firepower of the defensive position seems ferocious, it will not make those walking corpses hesitate a little, so the way of fighting just now is really a waste in the eyes of the commander of the machine gun company - no way, who let those recruits have no experience in fighting tough battles.

Unexpectedly, the correspondent brought back not an answer, but an order from the commander-in-chief of the corpse: "Report to the company commander, the commander-in-chief orders our troops to evacuate D1 and D2 areas immediately." ”

The two theaters of operations D1 and D2 are the defensive positions in which the machine gun companies are now located.

"What?" The commander of the machine gun company raised his binoculars and looked at the forward position that had just eliminated a wave of corpses and was now empty, "If you win the war, what will you withdraw?" ”
