Chapter 53: Army VS Zombies
Inside the human base, the Major General was standing on a high platform, and tens of thousands of soldiers lined up below him. He stood on the high platform and looked around at the thousands of soldiers below, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I believe you already know the situation outside, we humans have reached a precarious point, now I order the 701st Regiment to go to the west city wall to garrison, and zombies are absolutely not allowed to enter the city!" ”
"Yes! Absolutely complete the task! ”
The commander of the 701st Regiment shouted, and then left here with about 2,000 soldiers behind him, boarding the military truck, and leaving with the departure of the 701st Regiment. The Major General retracted his eyes and continued: "I ordered the 702nd Regiment to go to the eastern city wall to garrison, the 703rd Regiment to the northern city wall, and the 704th Regiment to the southern city wall. Now for me, it's time to protect humanity! ”
"Yes! Resolutely protect the human base! ”
The three regiment leaders shouted in unison, they could understand the arduousness of this mission, the corpse tide was coming, and all directions were different ways to attract the corpses. There are tens of millions of zombies, if they don't use their tactics properly, they are likely to be breached by the city wall, especially the mutated zombies like Tank, which are especially ferocious and brutal, and ordinary firearms will not have much effect on them. The three regiment commanders waited for thousands of people to get into the chariots, and after taking all kinds of equipment, they left the area.
Looking at the four regiment commanders who left, a man beside the major general said slowly: "Lao Yu, let a regiment garrison the city wall, I'm afraid this little force can't withstand it, especially in the west." That's a million-level corpse tide, and two regiments should be sent there, and that is the key attack location for zombies. ”
The major general held a leather whip in his hand, his eyes were full of anxiety, he shook his head and said: "It's just that the 701st Regiment is stationed on the city wall, and with their firepower, they should be able to hold it." In addition, you go and lead the artillery regiment to be ready for fire support at any time, and those mutated zombies can't be destroyed without this weapon. It is not yet possible to determine the location of the zombies' key attacks, and it is not possible to transfer all the infantry, so it is necessary to deal with emergencies. There were already 10,000 men in four infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, and 15,000 men were involved in the frontal battle with the garrison of the outer city walls. ”
The man sighed and patted the major general on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I trust your judgment." After all, the shining Venus on your shoulder is proof, and I think I'm only a colonel so far, and I can't compare to you. We don't have enough firepower, that's our shortcoming, and hopefully we can win this battle this time! ”
Looking at the departing man, the major general put the remaining infantry and artillery on standby, and then walked into the command room. In the last days, the originally diverse classes of troops have been combined into two. After all, the enemies they are facing don't care about the way they fight, and the zombies have no feelings. All they need are two types of soldiers, infantry and artillery, which are the most useful types of troops.
Infantry can fight bravely in front of the enemy, and artillery can kill zombies from a distance, just like armored vehicles and tanks are included in the ranks of artillery. The remaining more than 10,000 soldiers stood in the scorching sun with their heads held high, waiting for the order from the headquarters.
On the outer layer of the human base, Lin Jiang was boredly looking at the "Source Against the World" in his hand in the camp, and suddenly Cheng Xi ran in. Anxiously said to Lin Jiang: "Lin Jiang, something happened, I saw a regiment of troops enter the city tower. They look like they're in a hurry, and you can see if the zombies are coming. ”
Lin Jiang, who was reading a book, directly put down the novel in his hand, and asked with a slight frown: "Are you sure that it is the strength of a regiment?" ”
"I was a soldier, how could I be wrong, and I was fully armed and brought a lot of ammunition with me." Cheng Xi said as white as Lin Jiang, and then walked directly into the tent.
Looking at Cheng Xi who entered the tent, Lin Jiang also followed, and at this time, everyone else also surrounded him. Lin Jiang couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "If what you said is correct, it should be that there are zombies attacking the human base, otherwise it is impossible to send another regiment of troops." After all, there are a total of two regiments of troops arranged in these four city towers, and on average, half a regiment will be stationed in one direction, which is completely enough to deal with ordinary zombies. Their purpose in doing so was to resist the tide of corpses, and it was on a large scale. ”
Ma Xiaofeng looked at Lin Jiang in disbelief, and Li Wenwen's three girls couldn't help but snuggle together, as if they didn't want to believe this fact. After they were brought to the human base, although it was only half a month, they were used to living here. There are no zombies, no fear, no danger. Although the conditions here are difficult, they are much more comfortable than the days when they are scared outside.
But now this life may be destroyed by zombies again, and hearing the news brought by Cheng Xi, they understand the tension of the situation at this time. The military has sent troops in, and if there are no accidents, they will face the threat of zombies again, and they hate this life of running around.
"Captain! The zombies are only five kilometers away, and our visibility is too low. I am afraid that it will not be possible to take effective means of attack, and I ask for instructions. ”
The commander of the 701st Regiment stood on the west city wall, holding a telescope in his hand and looking ahead, but unfortunately the faint light made it impossible for him to see the movement in the distance at all. It was now night, it was already dark, they had lost the most advantageous opportunity to fight during the day, and night was the time when their vision was blocked and the most dangerous.
The regiment commander looked at the soldiers who came to report beside him, and said cautiously: "I order you to understand and inform the troops on the west side of the city wall, turn on all the lighting facilities, and be sure to ensure the safety of the city wall." In addition, the artillery regiment was notified to cover the first three kilometers of our artillery shells, and now it will be carried out immediately! ”
The soldier saluted, and hurriedly ran over to inform the regimental commander of the order. At the same time, the commander of the 702nd Regiment on the eastern city wall was holding a night vision device to observe the distance, but it didn't take long. Burning flames streaked across the sky and flew towards his back, followed by the sound of cannons.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of artillery here was immediately detected by the 702nd Regiment, 703rd Regiment, and 704th Regiment. The three regiment commanders immediately ordered to prepare for battle, and since the 701st Regiment had already sounded, there would definitely be large-scale zombies on their side. All the personnel were loaded with ammunition, and their eyes were looking straight into the distance, although they had a strong light here, but the effective distance was only 500 meters. Unable to see farther away, they had to keep their eyes open and contact the faint light to look into the distance.
"Damn, why are there so many zombies, quickly notify the artillery regiment to carry out another round of all-round bombardment at a one-kilometer position. All the personnel are loaded with magazines, and after the zombies enter the 500 meters, they shoot freely! You must defend the city wall, you have our family, you have our people, you can't let the zombies pass! ”
The commander of the 701st Regiment looked at the dark and misty with the help of the faint light, scolded and said, and joined the combat post with a Type 95 automatic rifle in his hand. After receiving the information from the front, the commander of the artillery regiment couldn't help frowning slightly, he had just carried out a targeted bombardment.
Extinguishing the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth, he hurriedly said: "Artillery regiment attention, all-round bombardment will be carried out within one kilometer of the western city wall, and it will be carried out within five minutes!" ”
The sound of the cannon in the night made Lin Jiang, who was still asleep, wake up immediately, not only him, but everyone else. The entire human base had no intention of falling asleep, some had heard this kind of cannon sound a few times, but this was the first time they had heard such a violent bombardment.
Lin Jiang and his gang, who had just come to this human base for less than a month, were shocked when they saw the power of the army for the first time, and the dull sound of artillery made them feel a little worried. Cheng Xi ran out of the tent and stood outside the camp quietly looking at the west, and waited until Lin Jiang and his gang came out before he said: "Those cannons are aimed at the west, there should be a large group of corpses or a tide of corpses, otherwise this kind of large-scale weapons will not be used." When our troops withdrew, a lot of weapons were left at the base and there was simply no time to take them away. ”
Lin Jiang exhaled slowly, and did not speak, at this time, the survivors in the outer layer. They all ran out of the tents in groups, and no one was sleepy, and it was already early in the morning, and they were all very worried about the situation here. If the army fails, they will have to flee to the middle level, although there will be some obstacles, but in order to survive, people will go crazy.
On the western wall of the city where the 701st Regiment was stationed, gunfire continued, and all the soldiers did not hesitate to knock out the bullets in their hands. They don't have time to aim, there are too many zombies, and no matter how they fight, the bullets will really concentrate on the zombies. All they have to do now is to get rid of all the bullets quickly, so that they can kill more zombies.
"It's strange why there's already a battle going on over there, and there's no movement in our east." The commander of the 702nd Regiment looked at the quiet city wall suspiciously, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled by this, after all, the 701st Regiment had been fighting for nearly ten minutes, and they didn't have any trouble here.
Unable to endure such a battle, the commander of the 702nd Regiment hurriedly ran to the communication department of the city tower and asked the 703rd Regiment and the 704th Regiment about the situation. As a result, the answer he got was very strange, the 703rd Regiment and the 704th Regiment were the same as him, they had not been attacked by zombies, and now the only place to fire was the west!
The three regiment commanders began to be puzzled, and according to intelligence, they would receive a large number of corpse attacks in all three directions. Now there is no movement, which can't help but make them wonder, the zombies should be excited when they hear the sound of cannons and gunshots!
"Report! The 701st Regiment had already started the battle, and the artillery regiment carried out two artillery bombardments to the west. The 702nd Regiment, the 703rd Regiment, and the 704th Regiment have found no trace of zombies, and are now on standby, waiting for the zombies to appear! ”
The major general, who was sitting in the command room, listened to the soldiers who came to report, and waved his hand to signal him to retreat. couldn't help frowning, and immediately picked up the combat map and began to look at it carefully. He always felt that there were a lot of strange things in this battle, why didn't the zombies attack the other three sides!
