Chapter Twenty-Six: The Battle of Siyuan Bridge and the Battle of Side Park (1)
In the afternoon of the same day, the reconnaissance battalion cleaned up the Siyuan Bridgehead, benefiting from the large number of Chinese, and the lack of attention to the traffic law; in order to prevent pedestrians from casually crossing the highway, almost all sections of the road were surrounded by isolation fences, which brought great help to the clean-up work; in addition, there was a serious traffic jam on the road, and there were many obstacles, and the follow-up troops of the temporary First Army also proceeded very smoothly; but they searched along the road, and without entering various residential areas, no less than 10,000 people had been rescued, and they were successively sent to the Special Committee.
"I think at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team was just opened, a total of about a dozen people, seven or eight steel pipe guns," Li Fengyi looked at the evacuating brigade of people a little secretly proud, secretly happy, and sang the adapted Peking Opera in his heart, "Recover for a while, and then train, they are all good hands, but there is a shortage of food, and if the soldiers have no food, what will be the chaos......
The coal hospital at the bridgehead of the Xiba River was also recovered, and the special committee allocated this general hospital to the Ministry of Health as soon as possible, in fact, everyone was afraid of the Ministry of Health that did the zombie experiment, and the special committee was ready to move the zombie research base - called the biochemical base in the industry to Xiaotangshan, and the SARS epidemic was based there.
The terrain of Siyuan Bridge is complex, there is a Side Park, which makes the reconnaissance battalion cautious, it turns out that the open area has always been very difficult for humans to scratch their heads, and the radio has received an experience from each survivor base that the open terrain, once the zombies form a numerical advantage, nothing can resist, and even gather groups of zombies to destroy one survivor base after another.
The Special Committee was very skeptical that the state-level base, which had not appeared since then, had also been destroyed for this reason.
Li Fengyi summoned the follow-up troops and began to assemble on the east side of the Siyuan Bridgehead to discuss the operational deployment, it was obvious that if the Side Park was not cleaned up, even if the road was opened, it would not be usable, and the zombie herd would not be able to counterattack back at some point.
There are many tourists in Side Park, standing at the head of the Siyuan Bridge, Ma Xiaoshuai took a telescope and scanned for a long time, "There must be about 230,000." The number he said made Li Fengyi feel furious, in the past, there were at most a few hundred, so they had casualties, and they could only be dealt with by hiding in Tibet, so many zombies, the existing manpower of the special committee did not form a numerical advantage, the terrain was too open, and there were not many obstacles, so it was not easy to divide.
At this time, the Ministry of Industry sent a model plane and an operator, "Test aerial reconnaissance," Sun Xiaoshan said.
The reconnaissance battalion was very excited, and they watched as the operator assembled the aircraft, and it was actually a J20 model! About 2 meters long, Sun Xiaoshan installed several cameras, using hard disks to record the video, and at the same time using 2.4G wireless modules to transmit to the control end, 2.4G wireless modules transmit distances of 500 meters, although the park is wide, but short distances can barely be transmitted.
On the cleared 50-meter highway surface, the model plane took off, flew to about 100 meters in the air, circled around the park, and soon flew around, the reconnaissance battalion carefully marked the zombie range, the number and the various zombie groups, the zombies heard the buzzing in the air and were very disturbed for a while, until they found that they were helpless and continued to wander, J20 quickly flew back here.
Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "Look! What is that?! ”
Following the direction of his finger, Li Fengyi and they saw a group of birds rushing out, quite large, similar to the model airplane, so that everyone's hearts were raised to the throat, there is no doubt that the birds have also mutated, and the concept of the bird's airspace seems to have been strengthened, and they saw a bird rushing straight to the plane, and the operator hurriedly tried to avoid it, but it failed, and the movement in the air was still more flexible than the birds, and they were knocked down all of a sudden, seeing the model smoking on the ground and a few bird feathers flying in the sky.
The operator waved his arms at the bird and cursed loudly.
"It looks like a swallow." Li Fengyi is not sure, the size of this bird has also increased too much, "Will they attack humans?" ”
"The Ministry of Health says that there is no major change in animal habits?" Ma Xiaoshuai was also worried about this problem, "Why attack model aircraft?" I've never heard of it before. ”
"There have been cases of birds hitting planes in the past," Li Fengyi continued to think about this question, "The size of birds has increased, and they must be less afraid of model aircraft, if so, human activities must be careful not to make birds feel that they are invading their territory." ”
But none of this means that birds will attack humans, nor does it mean that birds will attack humans, but the lack of airplanes after the end of the world indirectly means that the sky is no longer in the hands of humans. ,
The frustrated operator had retreated with the troops who had evacuated the survivors and supplies, and he had easily broken away from the basic labor category, this time back to the prototype, and had to continue to carry countless supplies.
Helpless, Li Fengyi ordered the reconnaissance battalion squad platoon Zhuge Liang meeting to be held separately to brainstorm and see if there was any other way.
A soldier with a retro stream made a suggestion, "Let's follow Qi Jiguang's deflection tactics and build a chariot to break through and form a flat fortress." ”
But then some people objected, "There are too many zombies, and they will be flattened quickly, and it won't work." ”
"It's okay," the retro stream officer insisted, "retreat layer by layer, consume the number of zombies, and even if many zombies enter the flesh mill, they will have to rest." ”
The suggestions summarized were all sent to Li Fengyi, and he and the reconnaissance battalion commander looked through them one by one.
"The tank idea is good," the commander of the first battalion felt very right, "Our reconnaissance battalion can definitely do this, but there are so many zombies, we have to do it for a while." ”
"This is a good idea," Li Fengyi looked at the suggestion in his hand, "Dig a pit, dig a trench, there are a lot of cars here, let's transform it, turn it into a digging machine or something, and kill some of it." ”
"Block the entrance to the park and block the influx of new zombies," the first battalion commander was a little depressed, "This park has no walls, it is a public park without fees, except for the Siyuan Bridge to the west, only the surrounding buildings form a rough isolation zone in the rest of the directions, so when will it be blocked." ”
"Burn the zombies," Li Fengyi thought the idea was not bad, "This terrain is open, there are no supplies, and there is no need to worry about the damage caused by arson, there is a gas station nearby, and there are so many cars on the highway with gasoline." ”
In the end, I felt that all kinds of measures were adopted, and the specific effect was decided, so I notified the Ministry of Industry to send someone to modify the car for digging trenches and war pits---- Ma Xiaoshuai thought that the battlefield was a pit with the word war.
After receiving the request, Sun Xiaoshan personally brought a few technicians from the auto repair shop to come, and they drove directly along the way, but every other section still prepared a car that was convenient for activities to block the road in an emergency, and also brought electric welding, acetylene, portable generators and other equipment, the staff was also very interested in field zombies, and the Minister of Health felt that the zombies in this case were more practical to study, and also rushed over.
The provisional first army sent three regiments of survivors who had trained a part of the training, and the rest of the training content was completed on the battlefield, and the soldiers had already worn metal military badges around their necks, which were uniformly made by the Ministry of Industry, marked with blood type, unit number, name, etc., and the words on it were engraved by a few marking machines that were used as souvenirs.
All walks of life set up camp on the Siyuan Bridge that night, Li Fengyi and the General Staff Department cooperated with the commanders of the battalions and regiments to assign tasks according to the map, tomorrow the regiments around the park to block the intersection, blocking the zombies from continuing to pour in, the Ministry of Industry began to transform the vehicles overnight, the specific method is to install a rake for plowing behind the high-horsepower car, in fact, it is made like a plow, a few more vehicles, a few more plows, and the ground will be deepened--- Sun Xiaoshan thinks that there is no civil construction machinery such as digging machines and excavators, and it will be used first.
The Ministry of Health held an infrared telescope camera overnight to observe --- zombies without body temperature, so that they could not see anything, but the sound sensors made by the Ministry of Industry for them measured a lot of noise, which were recorded by the collection software, and prepared to make new automatic monitoring equipment after analyzing the data.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the troops went into action, had breakfast, and went separately.
Li Fengyi feels that to a large extent, mankind has resumed sunset and sunrise.
Very distracted looking at the bright red military flag to guide the three regiments to start the operation, now Li Fengyi rarely does it himself, Commander Liu persuaded him and Li Qiang several times, "Your responsibility is mainly to command, when you go to the front line, there is basically no hope, don't cause panic among the soldiers." ”
Sun Xiaoshan took the car technician to pick and choose on the highway, and picked out all the high-horsepower off-road vehicles that could be driven, a total of more than 20 vehicles, ready to modify ten mechanical vehicles for digging the ground, and the rest into combat vehicles.
There are not so many long steel plates, so the steel pipe is welded into rows on the car, fortunately, the zombies do not know how to climb at present, and the soldiers behind are also good at stabbing in the air, this time the troops are equipped with 5-meter long steel pipes. ,
The driver's seat is spliced into a barrel shape with found steel plates, trying not to be scratched and bitten by zombies.
With the help of a large number of auxiliary labor available at its disposal, it was completed in one morning, and a large number of gasoline bottles were made.
The regiments responsible for plugging the gap are progressing smoothly, and there is a highway under the west side of the park, which is a ready-made car barricade, and about two-thirds of the remaining sides have been blocked, Li Fengyi decided to start the operation.
The first step is that the steel pipe chariot forms a mouth shape and drives in at a speed of 6 kilometers, and the mouth shape is a soldier holding a 5-meter steel pipe running to follow, followed by a large number of cars being pushed and tailgating forward, advancing to about 500 meters, the zombie group has begun to be dense, and the forward resistance has increased, so it began to stop and fight.
The Ministry of Industry also rushed in with an excavator, and after arriving at the designated position, it hung up an iron plow, and dug the digger's trench over and over again, the standard was 2 meters deep and 1 meter wide, with an interval of 5 meters, and dug back until the starting point, leaving no retreat channel.
When retreating, they were not ready to return the vehicles, and the soldiers could directly jump over the trenches and return, forming a sniper line on the other side of the trenches, and so on until they retreated to the starting place, where several rows of chariots had been piled up, and they continued to pile up in rows behind, which was used to kill the numerical advantage of zombies.
The zombies were so excited when they saw the food delivery that they made a "roar" sound in their throats, which the Ministry of Health explained was that it was made by the air flow through the vocal cords, and there was no actual speech meaning, but the zombies could be summoned to attack together, like the whistle before the commune canteen opened.
When humans collide, they generally consider not to hurt themselves, often the strength of the whole body can only exert about 70% at most, the zombies do not have this concern, the weight of one hundred and ten catties is unselfishly and directly hit up, the steel pipe chariot was hit and shook constantly, the driver easily escaped under the response of the warrior, the steel pipe warrior has been stabbed between the frames, and the crossbowman poured crossbow arrows upward, forming a suppression 100 meters ahead.
Another specially set aside battle line, the soldiers took Molotov cocktails and threw them out vigorously, and the human beings, whose strength had increased several times, were easily thrown to a distance of about 100 meters, forming a wall of fire.
Li Fengyi took the telescope and carefully observed the effect of the crossbow arrow and the wall of fire, the 20-centimeter-long steel arrow was full of kinetic energy, directly penetrating the zombie and nailing it to the ground, sometimes it could penetrate several zombies, unless it was nailed to the head, otherwise the zombie shook or continued to rush forward, the effect was not very ideal, but the fallen zombie would hinder the zombie's charging speed, enough to form a corpse wall, and soon formed a relatively uniform zombie wall. The wall of fire played another role, the zombies had almost no water in their bodies, and they were easily ignited, but the zombies didn't feel it, the humanoid torches were still rushing forward, blocked by the dense zombies in front of them and unable to move forward, even the zombies in front of them were also on fire, until they burned their legs and feet or burned their heads, otherwise they would not stop.
"Record!" Li Fengyi said to the staff officer on the side, "The shooting of the bow and crossbow can form a proper zombie wall in a certain number of cases, blocking the zombies from continuously investing far away, disrupting the rhythm of zombie attacks, the fire wall can easily ignite the zombies, but the zombies need to burn for a long time to stop attacking." ”
Li Fengyi ordered the crossbow and Molotov cocktails to change positions, and he wanted to see the state of the zombie wall being ignited.
Soon the zombie wall was ignited, and the crossbow troops also piled up the zombie wall at the fire wall.
After the zombies in front of the zombie fire wall and the car array were killed, although the zombies behind the fire wall kept pouring into the fire, most of them could not form an effective impact, and they had been burned to death before they climbed over the fire wall.
The prepared trenches were not used at all.
"Zombies are still not difficult to deal with," Li Fengyi concluded, "as long as you prepare well, the zombie group is not terrible." ”
Everyone present smiled, and the group of field zombies that had been worried about it had achieved initial results.
In the afternoon, the three regiments completely blocked the gap, and the zombies in the park were also cleaned up, Li Fengyi saw that it was dark, and decided to station all of them in Side Park and continue to act tomorrow.
A summary meeting was held that night, and the soldiers were in good spirits until the report was submitted by the General Staff.
"100,000 crossbow arrows shot out 80,000, but they were all recovered, a total of more than 2,000 Molotov cocktails were made, and more than 1,000 were used," the staff finally said, "Defeating zombies is not a problem, if it is a situation where the production of materials is uninterrupted before the end of the world, it is very easy, but the materials of the end times need to be collected, and the materials are very stressful." ”
