Chapter Seventy-Two: Chaotic Battlefield, Life Withering

At noon street, several traffic roads are staggered, and at this time the army has transformed abandoned vehicles into a dense defense line, and armored vehicles guard various intersections.

Inside the defense line, the young soldiers kept shooting, and the steel armor came from time to time with a volley, cutting off the corpse tide formed by the zombies, so that the soldiers in front had enough buffer time to clean up the approaching zombies.

The artillery fire shook the sky, and flesh and blood flew wildly.

This is a real battlefield, and there will be dozens, hundreds of zombies being blasted to pieces by gunpowder every minute, and the battle Li Wenbin encountered before is just a small wave compared to here.

Yunnan-Guizhou City is the capital of Yunnan-Guizhou Province, with a permanent population of about 4 million, even if only about 60% of human beings have become zombies, the number is more than 200 and nearly 3 million.

And the real number of zombies is much more than this.

The outbreak of the apocalypse is so sudden, and humans who are completely unprepared, as long as they are caught or bitten by zombies, they will quickly become infected with the virus and become one of the zombies.

Three or four million human beings, except for those who were infected into zombies at the beginning, the remaining human beings can withstand the first wave of chaos, and there is not one in a hundred. And those who can survive tenaciously until now will have fewer numbers, definitely not more than 500,000.

On the other hand, with the innovation of modern weaponry and the reform of advanced network technology, the number of military personnel in the Huaxia Military Region has not increased, but has shrunk somewhat over the past few years.

The Yunnan-Guizhou Military Region, one of the seven major military regions in China, has only about 250,000 soldiers, and when the end of the world breaks out, even if it is a soldier, it is impossible to avoid the nightmare of becoming a zombie.

Even if the army reacted quickly and tried to minimize losses, after the chaos ended, the number of soldiers now was less than 100,000.

100,000 against more than 3 million, if it was before the end of the world, with the army's powerful firepower system, it was not impossible. However, this is not the case now.

The outbreak of the end times has turned all kinds of advanced military equipment into scrap metal, fighter jets, missiles, and ...... Even nuclear bombs have lost their effectiveness, and even ammunition cannot continue to be produced, and can only consume the stocks left before the end of the world.

The most powerful equipment of the army now is those simple, fuel-guzzling armored tanks, and with such firepower, it is a complete dream to destroy more than three million berserk zombies.

Zhan Weiguo and others naturally know this, and the center of the contradiction between him and Xu Yuanhu is also this.

Rescuing survivors means that a lot of weapons and ammunition must be consumed, and there will be no ammunition replenishment until the arsenal is repaired enough to produce it.

Not saving the survivors is unacceptable to Zhan Weiguo, who has joined the army since he was a child, and the duty of a soldier is also his belief.

After research and consideration, this time, Zhan Weiguo's rescue operation did not come nonsense, but did what he could.

The division of labor of the large army is to create a noise to attract the zombies wandering in the city as much as possible, and at the same time fight and retreat, so as to win enough time for the survivors hiding in the city to evacuate.

In addition, the army has set up evacuation points in advance at various transportation arteries, and survivors will be escorted to safety by the army as soon as they reach these locations.

This plan is simple and useful.

However, there is a saying that 'plans can't keep up with change'.

Not everyone received the news of the army in advance, and many survivors' first choice after hearing the sound of gunfire was to rush out of the hiding place and run in the direction where the sound came from.

People are blindly obedient, there is one, there will be a second, a third, just when the army's first line of defense was about to hold on and prepare to retreat, tens of thousands of survivors rushed into the frontal battlefield.

I have to say that these people are very lucky, attracted by the army's artillery fire, the zombies rushed to the defense line like crazy, but they didn't notice them, so they successfully escaped here.

However, they are also unlucky.

The frontal battlefield only attracts the attention of zombies, not the rescue location. Instead, it's a real battlefield of flesh and blood, with life dying every minute and every second.

Tens of thousands of survivors are now in an extremely awkward and dangerous position.

In front, there are countless zombies blocking the way, and in the back, there are also countless zombies swarming, attacking from both sides, unable to advance or retreat.

At this moment, there was no time for the survivors to hesitate, and under whose leadership, these survivors began to attack the zombies in front of them.

Rush, just rush to the front, and you will be saved!

At the moment of life and death, everything is abandoned, and there is nothing to seek but to live. Every survivor had this thought in their minds, completely ignoring the back and side, and rushed forward with all their might.

The charge of tens of thousands of people, although it was not as good as the tide of zombies, but the movement was not small, and soon, these survivors were discovered by the soldiers who were responsible for observing the battlefield, and at the same time, the news also reached the ears of Zhan Weiguo for the first time.

"Help! Lives must be saved! Zhan Weiguo threw away the documents in his hand, overturned the table, and his tone was cut at all. The first front is temporarily retreating, and the second and third lines of defense are advancing forward to provide support, and the survivors must be saved! ”

Tens of thousands of people, not tens of thousands of rats, if you give up on them, it is equivalent to giving up your beliefs, and you can't do it if you defend the country with a horse.

What is the vocation of a soldier? Obey orders!

As the leader of the military region and the first commander, no one can refute Zhan Weiguo's order.

"Tank troops, pay attention, increase the elevation angle, shoot at the rear of the survivors, and block the zombies behind them."

"Everyone has it, pay attention to your goals, don't let the bullets hit your own people, kill me hard."

"The first and second shifts covered the shooting, and the third and fourth shifts were ready to pick up the survivors at any time."

“……”

The battlefield is a meat grinder for all junior officers and front-line soldiers.

Zhan Weiguo gave an order, in exchange for the charge of countless soldiers, and a battle that was even more tragic than before began.

With the impact of the survivors, the zombies also found this group of blood food jumping in their ranks, and they turned around one after another, stretching out their claws and fangs towards the survivors.

"Ahh ~Save me, I don't want to die! A man who was grabbed by the zombie on the arm and bit his throat let out his last unwillingness.

"Ah Wu, don't leave me, please, please, pull me! Ah......h

In the face of life and love, a young man, let go of his girlfriend with weak legs, galloped forward, and was thrown to the ground by a zombie in a miserable howl.

"Xiaowen, for the sake of our children, you go first, quickly!"

"No, I'm not leaving, I promised you, we will be together forever!"

Young couples, when faced with the choice between life and death, support each other and are reluctant. But because of this concern, they went to Huangquan together.

It's too messy! It's cruel! It's bloody!

One after another, the living life withered away in the tide of corpses.

Some people are desperate for their lives; Some people are unwilling to give up their relatives and friends at the last moment; There are also people who don't help each other and keep it alone.

It's all about just trying to live!

That's all.
