Chapter 8 The Bridge
The next morning, it didn't start to light until about eight o'clock, and the convoy had breakfast and set out again. After a two-hour journey, www.biquge.info detoured dozens of kilometers, Luo Cannon They came to the bridge in Jiangyin, like such an important transportation artery, there will definitely be an army to guard it, although some mutated zombies are very powerful, but under the intensive artillery fire of human beings, even the terminator will be bombarded into slag.
However, having a convoy guarding does not mean that there is no danger, and there are still two or three kilometers from the bridge, and everyone hears the sound of dense gunfire. Ten minutes later, everyone came to the toll station at the head of the bridge, and when they saw the toll station full of military vehicles, everyone's heart immediately relaxed, but when they heard the dense gunfire in the distance, everyone's heart was raised again.
Of course, the negotiation was handed over to Luo Cannon, and Luo Cannon was also aware of this situation, and under the gaze of several sentries with loaded guns, Luo Cannon showed a special pass, and soon the commander inside came out.
The captain and company commander of a certain unit subordinate to the Nanjing Military Region was very respectful when he saw Luo Dacang's certificate, because Luo Dacang's rank on the certificate was major, and the key was that he was still a special commissioner of the Shanghai Military Region. As for what tasks to perform, it is not something they can understand, nor is it something they are concerned about.
Luo Cannon learned about the situation on the bridge. The north side of the Jiangyin Bridge is a residential villa area and a lot of people gathered, and there is a large area of infection, and the south side of the bridge is not very infected. The troops sent were ordered to open the road between the north and the south. There was no big threat to the south, and there were not many infected people, and it was quickly cleared by hundreds of soldiers, but the north side of the bridge was completely turned into a dead city. A lot of zombies are pouring from the north side of the bridge to the south side. And the task is to open the bridge, not blow it up, so these soldiers do not dare to use heavy weapons, and can only use machine guns and rifles to destroy the zombies. They didn't have armored vehicles, let alone pressed over, and there were many broken down vehicles on the bridge, so they couldn't pass, so they could only use the method of encroachment to hit them little by little, but the entire kilometer-long bridge deck was covered with zombies, and there were more zombies who heard the sound and walked here.
They have plenty of ammunition, because they carry out special tasks, so they have a few trucks full of ammunition, but they can't use bombs and mortars and other heavy weapons, so the clean-up work has become very troublesome, zombies generally get up after four or five shots, although they all know that the head is effective, but the real head is not too much, basically ten shots can kill a zombie, the efficiency is not high.
Luo Cannon looked at these situations, of course, he couldn't wait for the troops to slowly fight over, he scolded in his heart after looking at the subordinates of the commander of this unit, this is simply an idiot. The troops were deployed in battle formation, with heavy firemen on both flanks, and the ordinary infantry with the weakest firepower concentrated in the middle, each fighting in squads and platoons. This undoubtedly disperses the firepower, although it is very useful against human enemies, but against the zombie group that wins by number and is not afraid of death, this arrangement is no different from suicide, and when the guns of their various squads and platoons are about to be scrapped, when the firepower drops, the zombies who are not afraid of death behind can easily break their battle formation.
Of course, the command of the troops will not be ceded to him as an outsider. But Luo Cannon still asked for a squad of troops from the captain and company commander.
Luo Cannon drove a military truck with ten soldiers to the repair shop by the river. Of course, it's not a car repair shop, it's a repair yard for shipbuilding and repair. Ground is being broken there, and it looks like it's being expanded. Since the ground is being broken, then construction machinery must be indispensable.
Few of the soldiers in the group knew how to drive engineering trucks, so Luo Cannon led them to the survivors' gathering place. Tempted by guns and food, more than a dozen of the more than 1,000 surviving people stood up who could drive construction trucks.
Engineering vehicles are not difficult to get, as for the keys are not difficult, they are directly made with a fire line, of course, this is indispensable to the credit of a few drivers who were temporarily recruited, because many old engineering vehicles do not have keys, they have always been started like this.
There are two heavy-duty cranes, four crawler bulldozers, five single-arm excavators, and eight dump excavators. The whole convoy drove to the bridge. The toll station of the bridge was directly smashed by Luo Cannon commanding excavators and bulldozers, four bulldozers and five single-arm excavators opened the road, followed by two cranes, the cranes were used by the shipyard to lift equipment, all of them were electromagnetic hoisting arms, and the cars that blocked the road were of course thrown directly into the river.
Of course, the heavy convoy will not rush straight, after rushing into one or two hundred meters, Luo Cannon commanded the convoy to retreat twenty meters, and then the crane began to throw the blocking vehicles on the road. And all the firepower just needs to suppress the zombies' counterattack. After a short break like this, it took three hours to open the entire bridge. Among the tens of thousands of zombies destroyed, eighty percent were crushed to death by car tracks. Then he was thrown directly into the river by an excavator. Of course, there are not only those zombies who were thrown down in the river, but also zombies who rushed into the river themselves. So the river water must have been polluted a long time ago.
But the real test is still to come, because there is not a single mutated zombie on the entire bridge, which is very abnormal. Although no one in the army knows that there are mutated zombies, they are no strangers in the convoy. Luo Cannon also gained the trust of the captain and company commander because of the reason for commanding the engineering vehicle. Therefore, although it is not possible to give orders directly, it is possible to command the troops indirectly through the company commander. In an infantry company, there will be one or two snipers in each platoon. Sniper rifles are definitely overkill for ordinary zombies. So they were not sent to battle.
And the task assigned by Luo Cannon was to lie down in pairs in the body of the dump truck raised high and obey orders. And Luo Cannon and the captain company commander were also commanding in one of the cars in the middle. When he finally entered the residential area of Jiangbei, several mutated zombies appeared, these were just ordinary mutated zombies, and the speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, but for hundreds of soldiers with loaded guns, they were swept down by the large net of bullets intertwined as soon as they appeared. In the order, these fast-moving zombies were eliminated without causing any damage, and they were even beaten into meat sauce by several machine guns with special care.
Suddenly, a strange zombie appeared in the telescope of Luo Cannon, this kind of zombie is covered with thick armor, and it is about three meters tall, and the armor can't hide the rough muscle lines, and people with a little common sense can see at once that this must be a strength-type zombie mutant. In previous battles, Luo Cannon did not encounter such zombies.
Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the different guys who suddenly appear among the zombies will definitely be taken care of by firepower. The bullets of ordinary assault rifles do not deal effective damage to these big guys, who are not afraid of the guns of ordinary soldiers at all, staring at the bullets and rushing forward.
"Brother Luo, do you want the snipers to kill them with anti-materiel guns?"
"Don't use it for the time being, let a few heavy machine guns try the demolition shooting method, and replace it with explosive shells or armor-piercing shells." Luo Cannon did not want to expose the presence of snipers prematurely. Having seen the kind of mutant zombies that only eat their heads twice in two places, Luo Cannon didn't think that there were no such mutants in this small city of tens of thousands of people, and premature exposure of snipers was easy to arouse their vigilance, if they hid, it would be extremely dangerous to find them in this complicated city.
Judging from the strength of those monsters when they easily tore apart the car last time, the big-mouthed mutant he killed at the beginning was simply extremely lucky, judging from the speed at which he could maintain a speed of eighty kilometers per hour, the zombie he killed with a knife was really lucky, otherwise with this running speed, Luo Cannon would not have the ability to hit something of this speed, let alone fight with these things. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine of what to eat and what to supplement, Luo Dacang does not think that those big-mouthed zombies are comparable to these idiot zombies who have no brains and can only rush forward. They ate so many brains, they must be smart to death. Once you see the power of these snipers' anti-materiel weapons, it will be troublesome if you start a guerrilla war with this group of soldiers.
A few power zombies can withstand the fire of an assault rifle, but they are unlikely to withstand the fire of a heavy machine gun. Heavy machine gunners have a kind of demolition training, which is to use guns to make a hole in the pure reinforced concrete structure that can be used by individual soldiers. This is a common subject in military training, so for a few big guys with obvious targets, the heavy machine gunners quickly beat them into a lump of flesh.
Of course, heavy machine guns are not omnipotent, and they will not be able to keep up with the agile zombies who move quickly, which requires the cooperation of light firefighters to stick to them.
Finally, almost half of the residential area was controlled, because these villas were not installed with thick security windows and iron security doors, almost all the villa windows were broken, as for those inside, there is no need to think about it. It seems that no matter how good the security guards are, they can only ensure the safety of property, and for this large-scale zombie disaster, these wealthy people are not as safe as the ordinary residents living in ordinary residential buildings with iron security doors and thick security windows on the south side of the Yangtze River.
It took just over three hours to cross the bridge, but it took even more time to clear the zombies in the city, and almost all the vehicles that could be used in the north of the river were collected, and all the soldiers stayed in the cars, and did not search any houses. Because there are so many houses, even a few hundred soldiers can't clear them all, all they can do is destroy all the zombies they can see.
