Chapter IX: Military Distress
Just after breakfast, Yang Chen and the others didn't have time to put down the dishes and chopsticks, when they heard gunfire coming from the entire Xuzhou City again, and it was coming from three directions together.
"Holy! Lao Tzu's back hurts badly, oops! Yang Chen ate this instant noodle, a strong hammer back, because the bed was not enough, so he gave the bed to Xia Yumo, Yang Chen and Zhang Nanxi slept on the ground all night
At the general headquarters of a certain army in Luzhou, army commander Wang Cai sat quietly on the sofa in the headquarters.
"Report to the Commander! You're all set! ”
"Yes." Wang Cai looked at the most conspicuous map hanging in the headquarters. Three huge sleeve-colored arrows point straight to the urban area of Luzhou from the east, west and north.
Looking at the map, Wang Cai is not heavy at this moment, the original 50,000 troops were reduced by 40% under the first wave of the virus, and more than 8,000 people were lost in the riots, and now the total strength of the three main divisions and two main brigades adds up to less than 30,000, and the two brigades have also been transferred to the Chengdu General Military Region, and now there are only three infantry divisions in Luzhou that are not yet formed, with less than 20,000 people, compared with the millions of zombies in Xuzhou City, there is not much advantage at all.
"ACTION!!" Wang Cai slowly spit out a few words.
"Yes!"
7 o'clock sharp! The city of Luzhou was once again enveloped in the sound of gunfire.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!!!!!"
"Fuck me, let's blow up these shit pieces!!" Yang Xuying, the commander of the second division, slapped the table fiercely. Treating these zombies, Yang Xuying can be described as a deep hatred of the sea of blood. His wife was killed on the way to send his daughter to school, so Yang Xuying didn't spare any of these zombies, although they were once humans.
"Report! The armored brigade broke through the Yongning River and already occupied the Yongning River bridge! ”
"Report! A regiment and three battalions arrived at the champion! ”
"Report! The three regiments have opened to Times Square! ”
………………………
A steady stream of information came, which made Yang Xuying very satisfied. Yesterday, they just crossed Luzhou Middle School and couldn't walk anymore. And now it is like a bamboo, although the casualties are not small, but everything is worth it.
Yang Zheng asked, "How long does it take to get to the People's Stadium?" ”
The chief of staff replied: "The armored troops as the vanguard are already less than 1,000 meters away from the People's Stadium, but the number of zombies gathered is too large, and the difficulty for the fighters to break through has increased!" ”
"I don't care what the difficulties are, give Wang Qi an order, we must reach our set destination today, otherwise the military law will be engaged!"
"Yes!!"
"And! Order the helicopter brigade to take to the skies! Give them air support! ”
"Yes!"
The scene returns to the front line of the battle.
Countless zombies roared and rushed out of the blocks, but they were fiercely blocked by the armored vehicles lined up. Having learned the lesson of yesterday, nearly 30 armored vehicles of the entire armored brigade made full use of their own steel and iron bones and powerful firepower to firmly block the zombies at the street entrance.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill !!"
On the armored car at the head, machine gunner Wang Dezhi pulled the trigger while roaring, and the machine gun with a theoretical rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute almost exerted himself to the extreme, and the large groups of zombies were torn to pieces by the dense bullets. Aren't you fast, faster than a bullet? Didn't you hit your head and not die, I smashed you to pieces!
Machine gunners like Wang Dezhi had three in each armored car, and the carriage that could have loaded a shift was filled with boxes of bullets in addition to three machine gunners and three ammunition men. It has been more than an hour since the battle started, and Wang Dezhi didn't know how many bullets he had fired, but his entire calf was buried by dense bullet casings, and the ammunition hand next to him couldn't clean it up.
"Onward! Forward!! ”
The captain's voice came over the radio next to the commander, who looked at the corpses in front of him, which were almost piled up like a small mountain, and slammed on the accelerator, and the armored car rushed forward.
"Crunch!!"
The specially changed tracks carried more than a dozen tons of heavy armored vehicles and ran over them, and the sound of broken bones continued to reach the car. Even though he had listened to it several times, Wang Dezhi still had a deep fear, and his throat and eyes were even more uncomfortable. If it hadn't been for the first few times when I vomited and there was nothing in my stomach, I would have vomited this time.
"Bang bang!!"
There was a sound as if a watermelon was being smashed, Wang Dezhi knew that it was the sound of a person's head being crushed, and he couldn't control it anymore, and bent down to highlight a stream of green bile.
Wang Dezhi They are still fine, at least hide in the car. The infantry behind them did not have such "superior" conditions. Moreover, the armored car walked by, and the flesh and blood on the ground were blurred, making the whole scene even more disgusting. Almost all of the fighters were sallow-faced, and the contents of their stomachs were so spitting that they couldn't vomit anymore. But no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to go to the army, otherwise the end will be more ugly than these zombies.
At 10:18 a.m. on February 16, 2015, the 2nd Division Armored Brigade first arrived at the People's Stadium. Immediately, the division commander ordered three infantry regiments and one armored brigade, in addition to the artillery outside the urban area, to be stationed at the People's Stadium and deployed on the spot.
At 10:45, the 1st Division entered the Engineering University.
At 11 o'clock sharp, the 3rd Division arrived at the Pedagogical University.
Three divisions were stationed in Xuzhou City in the shape of a pin.
Hearing that the main force had successfully marched into the city and stabilized his foothold, Wang Cai was in a good mood
"Good! Rescue operation now! The helicopter brigade follows the received signal and launches a rescue! ”
In the afternoon, after a brief rest, the three divisions began to carry out rescue. Nearby survivors began to arrive at three temporary shelters escorted by the military, and were transported by helicopter to the outside of the city when the rescue was over.
City
Yang Chen and the three of them stood on the roof of the house for a whole morning, but they still didn't feel tired. It's just that their hearts are getting heavier and heavier with the sound of guns that are getting weaker and weaker.
"It's not going to fail again!" Zhang Nanxi whispered.
Yang Chen patted Zhang Nanxi's head, "Crow's mouth!" Phew!! You're not going to fucking say anything nice. ”
Seeing that Xia Yumo next to him was also glaring angrily, Zhang Nanxi smiled wryly, lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak anymore.
A few minutes later,
"Listen, what is the sound?"
A buzzing sound came, and Yang Chen couldn't help asking.
"I don't know?" Zhang Nanxi pricked up his ears and listened, and asked strangely, the sound was a bit like the sound of the machine in their village's mill. Also, "It's a helicopter!! ”
"Helicopter!! Rub it! It's a helicopter!! We are saved!!! Yang Chen shouted excitedly.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a small green dot got closer and closer, and it was the army's standard helicopter!
"This way! This way!!! ”
"We're here!!"
"Help! Help me!! ”
The three of them shouted while waving their hands, but the helicopter was so far away that the pilot above did not see it at all. After circling for a while, it flew farther and farther east, and the reduction disappeared.
"I'll go! This way! This way! Are they blind and can't see? Zhang Nanxi sat on the ground all of a sudden.
Nian Xia Yumo next to him was also depressed.
Yang Chen suddenly thought of a Vietnam War movie he had watched,
"Let's go!"
"Why?"
"Shouting like this, the target is too small! We make a flag! ”
Listening to Yang Chen's words, the eyes of the two of them lit up, yes, the target of the flag is much larger than the people.
Teng Teng walked down, Yang Chen broke into the nearest bedroom, and tore open a sleeve-colored sheet, from which Xia Yumo helped cut it into two sections.
Zhang Nanxi found two more bamboo poles, and Yang Chen tied the sheets to the bamboo poles in two by three. Then the three of them ran to the roof again, desperately looking around, but there was no sign of a helicopter.
"Surely they are here to rescue us!" Yang Chen thought for a while and said to Zhang Nanxi: "Nanxi, you are watching from the roof, and if there is news, notify us, and Yumo and I will go down to pack up our things." ”
"Good! No problem! After speaking, Zhang Nanxi also shook the "flag" in his hand twice.
Thanks to Xia Yumo's cleaning up in the past two days, most of the useful things have been gathered.
"Don't pretend to be a mess! Mainly hold some food. And my big banana must be brought! Throwing Xia Yumo a small backpack, Yang Chen took the other two and began to stuff them inside.
"Your big bananas are rotten!!" Xia Yumo said.
"Huh! My big banana? Rotten? Yang Chen thought, why is it so evil! Zhang Nanxi laughed a few times on the side, Yang Chen glared at him, and said, "What the are you going to do for me!" If it's rotten, throw it away! Poor big banana! "Cut!" Zhang Nanxi said disdainfully and went upstairs.
First of all, a large bag of fried soybeans, this was still found by Zhang Nanxi and Yang Chen from Huitong Supermarket, I heard Yang Chen say that fried soybeans are the most hungry, and they are easy to store, Xia Yumo fried all the dozen catties of soybeans, and now it finally comes in handy.
Moreover, the careful Xia Yumo had already prepared for the retreat, and the flour was not easy to carry, so she made most of the flour into flour cakes and asked Zhang Nanxi to help dry them. Although these things taste hard, they can be stored for a long time.
After a few minutes of effort, the three backpacks were full, Yang Chen picked up two large backpacks, one weighing about 30 pounds, and carried a small bag of Xia Yumo, well, more than ten pounds. He picked up a hot water bottle filled with mineral water and two space cups, and said, "That's it! Grab the armed belt and let's go! ”
"Yes!" Xia Yumo nodded, took out three "armed belts" of different lengths from the box next to him, and followed Yang Chen to the roof.
These "armed belts" have nothing to do with weapons, but what is sewn inside are those compressed biscuits that Yang Chen and Zhang Nanxi collected from Huitong yesterday. After Yang Chen decided to use the remaining half box of 50 compressed biscuits as the last life-saving food, the ingenious Xia Yumo sewed three "armed belts" based on the armed belts loaded with magazines, and just stuffed the compressed biscuits into them. And it's around the waist, and if you don't search your body carefully, you won't notice it at all.
"Is there any movement?"
Yang Chen asked, but Zhang Nanxi just shook his head.
"These helicopters can't come just once, so let's be patient." Suddenly, Yang Chen remembered something, and looked at the time on his phone, it was almost 12 o'clock. Turning his head to Xia Yumo, he said, "Yumo, the two of us are watching here, you hurry up and go down and make something to eat." Don't bother, just eat enough, there is still a lot of food in the house, we don't waste it. ”
Xia Yumo nodded and turned to go down, while Yang Chen and Zhang Nanxi looked around on the roof.
Ten minutes later, Xia Yumo struggled to hold a pot of noodles [Dry mixed noodles, understand? The kind that doesn't need water! When they got to the roof, Yang Chen went down and brought three pairs of chopsticks, and the three of them ate on the roof.
After eating, I waited for almost an hour, but there was still no movement in the sky. Yang Chen and the others couldn't help but get anxious.
"Did the helicopter not see us just now, and it didn't come after searching the area?"
Zhang Nanxi asked worriedly, Yang Chen didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent.
"Dada!!" Zhang Nanxi sat down in frustration, took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took a big puff.
"Smoke? Pregnant!! ”
Looking at Zhang Nanxi's actions, Yang Chen suddenly had an idea: "Hurry up!" Let's find something flammable and make a puff of black smoke! Maybe they'll find us! ”
"That's right! How did I not expect that!! Zhang Nanxi stood up all of a sudden, and Teng Teng went down to one. Here are a couple of discarded sheets, which happen to be good materials for making wolf smoke.
A few minutes later, with a pungent burnt smell, a puff of black smoke rushed into the sky. The three of them looked around nervously, not daring to blink their eyes.
Perhaps it was the wolf smoke that worked, and twenty minutes later, a buzzing sound came again.
"It's coming, it's coming!! The plane is finally here!! ”
Yang Chen shouted loudly, looked around hard, and finally saw a small black dot!
"Over there! Over there! Shout! Shout!! ”
Yang Chen shook the bamboo pole in his hand vigorously, and his mouth was even louder. Zhang Nanxi and Xia Yumo next to them also shouted hard towards the helicopter
"Survivor spotted at 3 o'clock!"
"Understood!"
With a swing of the pilot's joystick, the helicopter turned a corner and flew in the direction of Yang Chen.
"It's coming! Here it comes! It's finally here!! ”
Xia Yumo cried with joy and hugged Zhang Nanxi's neck excitedly. It is said that Zi Bing is the closest person, and he usually doesn't think anything about it, but now that he sees the helicopter, Yang Chen's understanding of this sentence is particularly profound.
"Boom~~!!"
The helicopter flew to the heads of Yang Chen and the others, and the strong wind from the propellers blew the pots and bowls that were still on the roof all over the ground, and the black smoke from the burning tires was even more scattered.
"Just the three of you?"
The helicopter slowly descended, and out of it emerged a soldier in camouflage uniform.
"Just the three of us!!" Zhang Nanxi replied loudly.
"Wait a minute!"
The soldier pulled out a strange thing: "I need to make sure you guys are infected." ”
"Comrade! We've been here for two days and haven't been bitten by zombies! Yang Chen said loudly, but the soldier didn't respond, and walked up to the three people with the tester: "Stretch out your arms!" ”
Looking at the soldier's determined eyes, Yang Chen had no choice but to step forward and stretch out his arm.
The soldier skillfully opened the instrument, and Yang Chen found that it was something similar to a blood collection device, and then he only felt a pain in his arm, and saw a little more sleeve-colored blood on the needle of the tester on the soldier's hand.
After a few seconds, the soldier threw away the disposable needle from the tester and replaced it with a new one, and said, "You're okay, next!" ”
Although they didn't know what the principle of this thing was, Zhang Nanxi and Xia Yumo still stretched out their arms in cooperation, and after testing, they had no problem. Then the soldier made a gesture: "Get on board!" We go to the People's Stadium, where there is a temporary settlement! You can't bring your stuff on board! ”
When Yang Chen heard this, he was anxious, the things in his backpack were all life-saving materials, and he couldn't help but take the soldier's hand and say, "Comrade! The backpack was full of food we collected, what a shame to throw it away! ”
The soldier thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Okay, you guys hurry up and get on the plane!" ”
Yang Chen and the three of them hurriedly got into the plane, and as the helicopter slowly pulled up, the small courtyard became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared............
[I still want to ask you to collect it, thank you o(∩_∩)o~! 】
