Chapter 100: The Corpse
In the face of the surging tide of corpses, Han Xianchen no longer felt arrogant, he stared at Zhao Yi viciously, but there was a trace of panic and fear in his eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Under the coordination and dispatch of the command vehicles, the armored forces composed of the routs quickly adjusted their formation, and non-combat armored vehicles such as light armored ambulances, tracked repair vehicles, heavy tactical trucks, and single-section overturned bridge-erecting vehicles were arranged in the middle of the formation, and the outer periphery were H63 medium main battle tanks, Cossack infantry fighting vehicles, and PZ-22 wheeled armored vehicles.
The various main tanks and combat vehicles on the periphery gradually opened fire, suppressing the swarming corpses thousands of kilometers away, but with the gathering of the subsequent corpses, the front of the corpses was still advancing. Han Xianchen shouted to Zhao Yi angrily, "Give you one last chance, open the door of the shelter, or you will die here!" ”
Han Xianchen's voice was drowned out in the roar of machine guns and artillery, and even he couldn't hear it clearly. The middle-aged officer next to him understood what he meant, and leaned into Han Xianchen's ear and shouted, "Battalion commander, now is not the time to grab shelters. Not to mention that the shelter can't hold so many people at all, even if it can, we can't hold it at all, there are too many zombies! We need to break through immediately, and we must rush out before we run out of ammunition! ”
Han Xianchen nodded hatefully, turned his head and walked towards the command car, took two steps as if remembering something, turned around and pointed the pistol at Zhao Yi, it seemed that he wanted to shoot Zhao Yi to vent his anger.
Zhao Yi would wait until he made a move, stomped his right foot, and instantly disappeared into the ground. After entering the underground, he found Liu Zuoyu and the others, and took the two of them to load all the remaining materials in the shelter into the Mountain God Seal as quickly as possible, and then planted two cluster bomb boxes under the shelter.
The 300-kilogram box contained 150 submunitions, each of which was equivalent to an anti-infantry mine, and if detonated, the shelter would be completely destroyed. This kind of bomb box is actually a prohibited weapon in the international community, because basically 10% of the submunitions will not be detonated every time they are used, which has become a hidden danger of civilian casualties after the war.
These two cluster bomb boxes were knocked out of Zhang Jun's hands by Zhao Yi with great effort, and they were trophies of the Ministry of Security's overseas operations, and were not within the scope of the War Commission's weapons monitoring. In the last days, of course, there will be no such thing as civilian casualties, and once the shelter is completely destroyed, which civilian will come to such a place.
When Zhao Yi was busy with all this, Han Xianchen's armored troops could no longer suppress the corpses, and the so-called breakthrough was also a complete failure. Instead, they were squeezed by the crowd of corpses next to the shelter, losing room to toss and turn.
Seeing that the corpses were already close at hand, the middle-aged officer shouted on the internal channel without Han Xianchen's consent, "All machine gunners bring weapons to the wall of the shelter for fire support." All the other tanks, including the tanks, are lined up in two echelons outside the wall, so be sure to push this wave of corpses through! ”
When it comes to dealing with mass zombies, the most effective weapon of armored forces is not artillery, but heavy machine guns. The imaginary enemy of the H63 main battle tank is an enemy tank, so the ammunition in reserve is mainly armor-piercing, armor-piercing, and armor-shattering shells, and the lethal effect of these ammunition is far less obvious than that of machine guns in the face of zombies. And even if you replace it with a grenade, you can only kill and injure zombies in the distance.
Unlike artillery, heavy machine guns don't worry about explosions, they don't worry about accidentally injuring friendly soldiers, and under the strafing of 12.7mm caliber bullets, zombies fall like wheat stubble after stubble.
This scene is very similar to history, in fact, it was also the heavy machine gun that caused the large-scale cavalry charge to disappear from the stage of history. Heavy machine guns have been synonymous with bloodshed since 1893, when 50 Rhodesian infantry used four Maxim machine guns to repel a fierce attack by 5,000 Zulus, leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses.
But the zombies are not Zulus, they have no sanity but instinct, and they are not afraid of death, because they are already dead. The continuous tide of corpses spread out of sight, and countless zombies have rushed in front of the armored troops!
Even though they are friends or foes with this rout, Zhao Yi and the three of them are still shocked by the huge war scene, which is a collision between the numerical superiority of human modern weapons and zombies, and the roaring artillery and roaring heavy machine guns cannot stop the staggering but firm footsteps of the corpses.
Liu Zuoyu stared intently at the battle situation underground, for him who wanted to have a career in the military, every scene that happened above was an astonishing wealth of value. He hopes to find the best tactic to deal with the zombies by watching the battle, because it won't be long before he is the one standing there against the zombies.
The corpses had begun to climb on tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and it was time for hand-to-hand combat. The common feature of the H63 main battle tank and the Cossack infantry fighting vehicle is that they are not equipped with coaxial machine guns and course machine guns, but only have a high-level machine gun mounted above the hull. That is, if a heavy machine gun is to be maneuvered, the shooting control personnel must be exposed.
In fact, this high-level dual-purpose machine gun originally belonged to a part of the remote-controlled weapon station, but after the outbreak of the catastrophe, with the gradual thickening of the yin qi, the remote-controlled components have failed, and can only be converted into the original external machine gun, exposing the machine gunner.
If it is used to suppress zombies from a distance, this exposure of the shortcomings of the Heavy does not matter at all, and the zombies will not shoot anyway. But when the zombies rush to the side, this disadvantage is very fatal.
The fast-moving wandering corpse jumped up and jumped directly onto the two-meter-four-five high turret of the H63 main battle tank, and pounced on a machine gunner. In terms of appearance, one of the main features that distinguishes the wandering corpse from the walking corpse is that it has a pair of protruding fangs, and when the fangs with corpse poison pierce the carotid artery of the machine gunner, he has already been sentenced to death.
The tragic death of the Heavy was blocked at the top cover, so that the turret door could not be closed at all, and the commander and gunner had to work together to pull the Heavy body's body down.
As the body of the Heavy hit the ground, two white and rough hands slammed into the turret door, and a hideous head rushed in, the same rogue that had bitten the Heavy and squeezed hard into the turret.
Although the gunner was not alarmed, he took out his self-defense pistol and opened the skull of the wandering corpse with one shot. Ignoring the disgusting corpse fluid sprayed down, the commander climbed onto the machine gunner's rack, lay on it, bent his legs and kicked the corpse out with his legs bent, and then quickly closed the turret door and locked it tightly.
The gunner stretched out his thumb, "Just the two hits you just now, the water ...... of the absolute super-first-class master"
Before he finished speaking, the mutation abruptly changed, and the corpse of the machine gunner next to him underwent a corpse transformation, and it bit on the gunner's neck at once, and the gunner's last sight was the machine gunner's red eyes, and he only had time to shout out angrily, "Lao Zhang!" ”
In a panic, the commander took out his pistol and fired six shots in a row, emptying a magazine, and the ricocheting bullets flew around, but none of them hit the head of the machine gunner zombie. The commander, who was frightened by the successive events, did not care about the driver, only thought about running for his life, and looked up to open the turret door.
I didn't expect that the lock of the turret door was too tight just now, and the trembling hands in the eagerness couldn't open it, and then there was a sharp pain in both legs, and the machine gunner zombie had already begun to hold his thighs and gnaw!
What happened in this H63 medium main battle tank was only a microcosm of the overall situation, in fact, the outer defense line of the tank group had been breached as a whole, and only a few tanks reacted quickly and closed the turret door in time to escape.
The middle-aged officer shouted in the internal communication, "Go and blow open the door of the shelter, and all who can move will retreat into the shelter, and use the walls of the shelter for as long as you can!" ”
The shelter is not suitable for large-scale armored defense, and the mobility of the armored forces will be completely limited, and from this point of view, the shelter is more like a cage than a fortress.
When they first seized the shelter, Han Xianchen and the others only planned to use the shelter as a battalion headquarters, and tanks and infantry fighting vehicles would not enter it. But now the middle-aged officer can't care about this much, going in is waiting for death, but staying outside is looking for death! Anyway, it's all dead, so let's live a little longer.
A Cossack infantry fighting vehicle outside the gate turned its turret, and the 90mm semi-automatic rapid-fire gun, although not as powerful as the 120mm 44x smoothbore gun of the H63 main battle tank, should not have a problem tearing through the door of a shelter.
There was a roar, and after the smoke cleared after the two shots, the door of the shelter was still standing, but there were two more shocking dents on it.
Zhang Legu explained underground, "When it was originally designed, the attack of artillery was considered, and the gate was installed with a military explosion-proof door provided by the Ministry of Security, which was made of special industrial steel plate according to strictly set mechanical data, and there was an explosion-proof interlayer in the middle, and the semi-automatic rapid-fire gun of this caliber could still block a few rounds." ”
"Produced by the Ministry of Security, it must be a high-quality product." Zhao Yi couldn't help but praise the conscience of the Ministry of Security.
The gunner of the infantry fighting vehicle cursed, and was about to re-fire when he suddenly felt a shake in the hull of the vehicle, and then the sky swirled, and the whole car was flipped over! From Zhao Yi's point of view, it can be clearly seen that two zombies that are obviously much taller and stronger crashed into the Cossack infantry fighting vehicle and completely knocked it over.
Zhao Yi's heart tightened, this is a corpse! A zombie that is one level higher than the wandering corpse has finally appeared, and in addition to having the speed of the wandering corpse, it also has the power of a tiger! The strength of the Cossack infantry fighting vehicle, which weighed more than 20 tons, was so easily knocked over by an ambushed corpse.
A corpse jumped onto the flovered infantry fighting vehicle and thrust his hand deep into the side armor of the vehicle. Tearing it hard, it tore a big hole in the side armor like brown paper, and the 12mm thick armor of the Cossack infantry fighting vehicle was so vulnerable in its hands!
Watching the ambushed child ravage this infantry fighting vehicle like a toy, Liu Zuoyu gasped, "Are you sure this thing was once a person?" What are we going to do if we encounter this thing, and what else can we hide from but underground? ”
Zhao Yi looked at the corpse with bright eyes, "We don't have to hide, because Tian Cheng is about to be born." The corpse is so powerful, how murderous should the armor-level apologetic yaksha be? ”
Seeing that the ambushed corpses were in full swing, almost half of the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the second echelon aimed their guns at it, and the two ambushed corpses fired by heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns retreated one after another. The artillery even broke the right arm of one of the corpses.
Enraged by the artillery fire, the corpses rushed into the tank group and destroyed several infantry fighting vehicles in succession, but the tank throwers did not dare to use their artillery again for fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops. The ambushed corpse was like a tiger entering a flock, and when he was about to attack the main battle tank, he seemed to smell something and turned his head to the ground.
"Oh no, they smell us." Liu Zuoyu exclaimed.
