Chapter 377: The Coming of Volcanic Winter (Hand-to-hand Combat)
Li Qiang stood in the lookout house on the top of a tree, watching the Dog Dian cavalry return under the leadership of Yao Yinan, and sighed in his heart, "What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on...... A chapter of accidents. The commander-in-chief of the professional soldiers descended from the ladder with sentimental hatred.
In the next time, Li Qiang was numb, on the way to retreat on the dog, he gave orders one after another, constantly sending troops to stick to one defense point after another, as close as possible to the dangerous area, the previous underground civil air defense fortifications, national defense fortifications became the key points of deployment, among them, the underground fortifications of the second artillery became the most powerful support point, the order was very simple, hold at all costs for the first 10 days, as far as possible not to let go of a zombie, more than 10 days to move, save strength, wait for the counterattack, although the counterattack is far away, But he still stressed so much with each of the troops.
By the time the order to hold the last force was issued, he also retreated between the defense lines of Shuozhou and Biguan County, and the troops who arrived in the early stage were already building fortifications on a large scale.
There are no defense points in the fortifications here, they are lined up in a line, and 3 lines of defense are built, Li Qiang issued an order to hold on for 15 days, calculating the traffic situation, he is not ready to retreat further, after holding on for 10 days, he will return to the headquarters of the Special Commission with a small number of followers, and the remaining troops will be transferred to an underground military base nearby after holding out for 15 days, if there are still troops left.
After sending a communication soldier to Li Fengyi again, he found a chair in the temporary front finger, made it, and thought carefully about his tactics.
It is impossible for artillery to play the role of the original point of fire, without the power of observation, it is unthinkable to intercept fire beyond the line of sight, you can't see people, how can you intercept people? It is unimaginable to rely on the flags and fireworks of various mountains to command the shè attack, and when your signal comes, the zombies will not know where the impact is.
So all the artillery that could be hauled to the front line was deployed as far as possible in the front line, lined up, the cannons were also bayoneted, the shells were exhausted, and the artillery was replenished into the forward infantry units.
Ammunition is a big problem, the transportation can't keep up, almost run out of ammunition at hand, the resistance is gone, and it's unthinkable to hold a gun without ammunition and the zombies that have evolved for three years now.
"It's not as good as the steel tube barrel of the Mo knife." He suddenly remembered Sun Xiaoshan's wife's senior brothers, Long Zhanhai and them.
One day before the war, Long Zhanhai came to him and said that the people who practiced martial arts found that zombies had developed to the present, after training, using cold weapons, and a few years of kung fu, one person could kill at least 5 zombies, and under normal circumstances, an ordinary person 3 to 1 is already very difficult.
I can't help but sigh, at that time, the special committee army, which was extremely developed in communications and transportation, did not pay much attention to the role of force in individuals, and always felt that a soldier could pick up a gun after a short period of training to block dozens of zombies, let alone practice kung fu for a few years? There is not enough manpower, and I will not have the luxury of deploying a large number of people to do physical exercise.
And now it seems that the human body is indeed the most reliable weapon, and there is no one.
Li Qiang urgently issued an additional order to dispatch all soldiers who knew martial arts to form a reserve team to deal with emergencies, and for this reason, he sent a signal corps to inform Li Fengyi to pay attention to training and practicing martial arts
"Damn, it's all a cold weapon, what's going on." Li Qiang scolded angrily.
The military rations are no longer enough, on the way to retreat, it is impossible to carry a lot of food, Li Qiang did not order the rear to send supplies, the current traffic situation, it is simply impossible, the troops have received a certain amount of wilderness survival training, the plants and animals all over the mountains and fields, and the animals all over the mountains have inexplicable panic, and now they are even more disturbed by the human soldiers who shoot and hunt at them.
In the first few days, the hunting effect was good, a lot of food was obtained, and some of it could be stored, but Li Qiang still noticed that he couldn't go hungry in a short period of time, but the radius of the army's daily search for food was getting bigger and bigger, and if the zombies didn't come again, the troops would be hungry.
There was nothing to prepare for the forward fortifications, and when the construction machinery failed, it was all manually excavated, and the fortifications created were not enough for the zombies to charge once, so the soldiers only cut down the weeds and trees that obstructed the view of the shè.
On April 25, 2013, Li Qiang's troops in the defense line found sporadic zombies attacking the defense line, and soon the zombies were annihilated by Jing Zhun's shè attack, calculating the time, and a few days will be a few days to Li Qiang's 10-day defense period along the way, at that time, according to the law, except for a small number of zombies who are pinned down by the stronghold, a large number of zombies in the absence of strong sniping, will generally bypass the bones that are not easy to gnaw, will impact the defense line where Li Qiang is located.
Li Qiang found that the visibility in the sky seemed to be reduced, and after being confirmed by the staff officer, Li Qiang's heart lifted, although no one knew that the ash from the Yellowstone volcano floated across the Atlantic Ocean and drifted from Europe partially, but it still made people feel uncomfortable, what the hell is going on?
After another two days, the lookout post at the height reported that a group of zombies were found wrapped in a group of soldiers with cold weapons rushing towards this side, the distance was about 10 kilometers, and it took about 2 hours to get there.
The army that came out of the fire and blood was not so particular, and when the troops were close to each other and the communications were extremely backward, there were no staff officers and guards to surround them, and it was always good to persuade the chiefs to pay attention to safety, and to know the information as soon as possible.
Li Qiang climbed the lookout post and held up the binoculars, he was very surprised, when did the zombie group impact so slowly, and the human beings were able to withstand the pressure of the zombies and move together?
I saw a soldier who hit the front wide open, a big knife up and down chop, the knife did not leave the neck of the zombie, the head of the zombie flew up to the sky from time to time, and then fell to the ground, and then countless other zombies or warriors' feet kicked and rolled over, sure enough, the head fell when the kick, the broken warrior was back to the back of the warrior in front, resisting step by step, never in love with the war, step by step retreat.
I could see that this group of soldiers tried to stop several times and take advantage of the terrain to hold on to the spot, but unfortunately, the swarming zombie hordes quickly impulsed their formations like waves and moved forward with them.
Shells began to fall on the periphery of the zombie hordes to relieve the pressure on the soldiers charging this way.
The soldiers who rushed over, every three or two minutes, they changed the sharp soldiers on the front line of the charging arrow, cold weapon combat is very physically demanding, there is basically no kind of human beings who are still alive and vigorous a day, but the zombies can basically do it, and the soldiers of the guard have a longer interval, and they have to rotate every ten minutes.
If a soldier is unfortunate enough to be dragged out of the crowd by a zombie, the nearest soldier will always make up a knife as much as possible, or stab him in the head, and the soldier who was dragged away will also hit his head as much as possible according to the tip of the blade and gun, and be killed by his own people, which is better than being eaten or turned into a zombie.
If there are soldiers who are too late to be killed, they will kill themselves as much as possible, and those who can't even kill themselves will jump all over, like a sea monster that has fallen to the shore, trying their best to disrupt the rhythm of the zombie attack.
The group of less than 300 zombies was quickly wiped out by the forward guns, and more than 100 soldiers who broke through were arranged to rest, and their battalion commander was taken to Li Qiang's headquarters.
Li Qiang stared at the jet-black battalion commander who was smeared with corpse fluid.
The battalion commander stood in front of Li Qiang, sweat rolling down his forehead, and it seemed that his physical strength was almost exhausted.
Although there is still one day left before the order to hold on for 10 days in advance, the defense line is basically deployed, the military order is dead, and the implementation cannot be too rigid, so Li Qiang is not ready to investigate the responsibility for disobeying the military order, he hammered it in the chest, and the black battalion commander stumbled.
Li Qiang praised, "It's the masters! ”
The chewing muscles on the battalion commander's cheeks tightened, and he said, "Commander-in-chief, our regimental defense line is 20 kilometers ahead...... The whole regiment ran out of ammunition, and the defensive ring was rushed in by zombies on a human ladder, almost filling our fortress...... I took the rest of my soldiers to form a defensive formation in a circle, but I couldn't withstand the onslaught, and rushed all the way...... Give us bullets and let us die on the front line. ”
