Chapter 256: Raising the Flag

The smell of gunsmoke and blood was so thick that the wind could not disperse and the rain could not be extinguished. The bones of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info piled up all over the ground, and there was not a clean place to be found on the vast ground, either covered by the corpses or stained red with blood.

Under the walls of the South Gate, the corpses of mutants were piled up into a slope, and a figure shrouded in shadows was stepping on this slope to climb the city wall, and behind him, an endless path of death stretched hundreds of meters away. As if to greet him, the spears and cannons on the city wall were muted, and only the whining wind from the north could be heard quietly.

"Running out of bullets?" The man who climbed the wall asked.

"Not yet, ammunition is being replenished, but the logistics can't keep up." The officer in charge of guarding the southern city wall replied mechanically, his face stiff and numb, his eyes staring blankly at the long road of corpses spreading for thousands of kilometers outside the city, and a nightmarish sea of corpses appeared at the end, and they were expected to meet the next round of offensive in three minutes.

From the beginning of the defense of the city to the present, the south city gate has continuously resisted nine attacks in succession, destroying tens of thousands of zombies, but those disgusting things are still coming in wave after wave like the waves, endlessly.

"Let Bao Wei's family come and report." Yang Xiaoqian looked at the officer's appearance and frowned secretly, the mental state of many ordinary soldiers was on the verge of collapse, even if they went back alive, I am afraid that they would leave a lifelong psychological trauma.

"President, Camp Commander Bao has died."

"Huh?" Yang Xiaoqian was stunned, and the officer repeated again: "The battalion commander Bao died, and he took the three companies of the male battalion to meet the heavy cavalry battalion, and he never came back." ”

"Oh, who's in command of the battalion now?" Yang Xiaoqian didn't feel much, there were too many people to remember, and now even he gradually became numb.

"It should be the commander of the machine gun company."

"Let him come and report." Yang Xiaoqian waved his hand, and the officer motioned to the orderly to find someone, and after a while, the orderly ran all the way back, panting and saluting Yang Xiaoqian.

"Report, Company Commander Yu has died."

"Hmm...... Never mind. ”

Yang Xiaoqian stopped talking, raised his head and looked at the sky, which was covered with heavy rain clouds and gray.

"President." Fang Yu stood behind Yang Xiaoqian, and looked up at the sky together, the dome had locked them up for so long, they almost couldn't remember the original appearance of the sky.

Tang Tao took off his helmet and walked behind Yang Xiaoqian, and next to him, Xu Le, Qi Lie, Qi Xinwu and the other awakened people who were still alive gradually gathered.

"Wipe the nosebleed off your face." Yang Xiaoqian didn't look back, stood on the edge of the city wall and said behind his back with his hands behind his back.

The Awoken raised their hands to wipe the nosebleeds from their faces and began to tidy up their messy hair and clothes. Even if you don't have the strength to fight again, you have to die decently, like President Yang, and you can't lose your grace.

"Knock"

"Knock"

"Knock"

The ground sounded dullly, not a pile driver driving piles, but a ten-meter-tall giant walking towards Xinyuanjiang, he stepped very big, and when he stepped down, the corpses under his feet were all trampled into flesh.

"The shells of the ground artillery regiment are empty." The officer in charge of defending the city took out the pistol in the holster, this small-caliber gun is enough to fight zombies, and it is impossible to deal with the mutant and the giant corpse like the demon god. The officer opened the safe, and there was only one bullet in the gun, which was the glorious bullet he had prepared for himself.

Yang Xiaoqian raised the binoculars and saw a high chair made of bones standing on top of the giant corpse's head, and the chair was empty.

"It's a pity." Yang Xiaoqian sighed, put down the binoculars, turned his head and was about to speak, but heard a song coming from far behind him.

When Fang Yu heard this singing, his expression perked up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his lover should no longer be in danger, Fang Yu let go of his worries, his heart was calm, and he hummed unconsciously.

A few soldiers in the back lowered their guns and began to raise the flag, singing the national anthem as they did so. At first, only a few people sang along, but when the five-star red flag gradually rose to the top of the flagpole and fluttered in the wind, many people joined them. Those awakened people who followed Yang Xiaoqian to look up at the sky also turned around and stared at the national flag.

Tang Tao is the same, he carefully recalled the last time he watched the flag-raising so seriously, when and where, was he watching the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games at home, or was he wearing a red scarf on the school playground more than ten years ago and swearing to become a glorious Young Pioneer?

"Thank you, President." Fang Yu took another step closer, stood on Yang Xiaoqian's left hand, and said with a smile, "Don't be too old-fashioned when I say something, it's my honor to be able to fight side by side with you." I hope I'll be able to follow you in the next life. ”

"Don't, be an ordinary person in the next life, it's good to be carefree." Yang Xiaoqian turned his head, a smile appeared on his tired face, and Fang Yu saw an incomprehensible relief on his face.

"You think we're going to die? The atmosphere was so tragic. Yang Xiaoqian smiled, "Do you think I was looking up at the sky just now and pretending to be literary and artistic?" ”

Shaking his head to himself, Yang Xiaoqian stretched out his hand and pointed forward, the giant corpse was rushing over with a sea of corpses, less than a kilometer away from the city wall.

"Prepare to evacuate."

"What?" Fang Yu froze, the people in Xinyuanjiang City had all been evacuated, they really didn't have to continue to hold on, but everyone was exhausted, and the sea of corpses that had been diverted had surrounded Xinyuanjiang, where else could they retreat?

"Order all the departments, evacuate the city wall to find cover, our mission is complete, and leave the rest to the People's Protection Army."

More than an hour has passed since Liu Yuanzhou left Xinyuanjiang, and the outside army must have some understanding of the current situation in Yuanjiang, after all, this is a time of war, and there will not be too many cumbersome procedures, from obtaining information to confirming the location to carrying out the operation, one hour is enough.

Perhaps, for the sake of prudence, the Second Army will not send troops into the city at the first time, but it may not be necessary for troops to enter the city to deal with the sea of corpses outside Xinyuanjiang City.

A few dozen kilometers away, the People's Defense Force Navy fleet sailed into the waters of Jiangxin Island, and although it was not equipped with ship-to-ground missiles due to the lack of tonnage of its ships, it could use vehicle-mounted cruise missiles to be converted into ship-borne cruise missiles, and still maintained its long-range ground strike capability at this distance.

Above the clouds, a formation of tactical bombers carrying air-to-surface missiles and guided missiles confirmed the target and began to carry out the bombing mission.

In the Nandu Military Region, a group of fighter planes and a group of armed helicopters took off one after another, gradually dispersed into a fan during the flight, and flew to Xinyuanjiang to prepare for the second clean-up.

There seemed to be more shells and missiles falling from the sky than raindrops, and the sea of corpses outside Xinyuanjiang City was swallowed up by the earth-shattering explosion.
