Volume I: Section 96 Tactics
Desperate people usually do things that don't make sense.
The timing he chose was really good, Wu Guoguang had just sent a helicopter to the base to load supplies, six soldiers went out on a search mission, and two heavy chalk guns were disassembled into parts for routine maintenance.
The combination of many unfavorable factors made it impossible for the vigilantes to kill the zombies, causing these mutated creatures to gather more and more, and eventually form a corpse tide.
Wu Guoguang regretted that Su Hao had reminded him to erect a zipline between the main building of the headquarters and the surrounding low-rise buildings. In the event of an emergency that you can't handle, you can leave the headquarters at any time, wait for the zombies to disperse, and then return.
The station has enough weapons and ammunition to kill tens of thousands of corpses.
But the biggest problem is the lack of manpower. Once the corpses break through the fence outside the gate, they will flood every living person in the headquarters like a tidal wave.
Since he entered the garrison headquarters, Wu Guoguang has encountered at least a dozen corpse tides. Each time it was much smaller than it is now, even about a third of the number.
There are also many ways to defuse the siege of corpses, contact the soldiers sent out in advance to shoot at long distances; creating an explosion in the opposite direction; Using a helicopter to drop frozen pieces of meat at a distance or pre-caught rats is nothing more than using sound and smell to divert zombies from their targets.
These methods are either not available now, or they are ineffective against large hordes.
Especially those blood corpses that have been mutated twice, they are much more intelligent than ordinary zombies, and they are more persistent in their main target.
Wu Guoguang was very grateful to Su Hao for the silver bone he gave him. On his orders, all the soldiers at the station recovered the same substance from the corpses and took them.
However, first-order enhancers are not invincible.
When there are zombies everywhere, even if it is as strong as Su Hao, there is only one way to die.
What's more, at least more than half of the corpses were bloody. They are 30 to 40 percent stronger than adults, faster, more powerful, hungrier, and more ferocious.
Wu Guoguang has already sent a report to Su Hao and the base for help.
He didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive, and he regretted that he didn't leave the helicopter behind for Lang Dao, or listened to Su Hao's advice early.
Now, it's too late to do anything. The only way to do that is to try to stick to it despite everything.
The continuous impact finally caused the steel guardrail to loosen. It began to shake as the zombies pushed it, and the screws that were fixed to the ground kept falling off. Maybe in ten minutes, or less, the hideous-looking and ferocious monsters out there will be able to rush in.
In the distance, the roar of engines can be heard.
Six modified high-powered trucks roared out of the horizon and crushed into the thick horde of zombies like behemoths. The zombies hovering at the end of the line were caught off guard, knocked into the air, scattered and scattered. It was as if a powerful bowling ball was hitting the perfect score, shattering the neatly arranged Erleng-shaped flasks.
There were more than a dozen shooters standing in the carriage, and the heavy machine guns mounted on the roof of the car let out a rhythmic roar, and the dense rain of bullets immediately swept over a group of zombies. This kind of violent action attracted about one-third of the zombies. They turned around and stared at the mechanical creations with empty eyes. The remaining consciousness in his head was controlled by hunger, and he stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and howled and pounced.
All the doors and windows of the truck cab are closed.
According to the combat skills that Su Hao once taught, the drivers reversed in an orderly manner, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed back and forth between the corpses and the road. A thick layer of blood soon piled up on the ground. The sticky, smelly flesh wraps around the tires, but it can't fill the gaps between the chains. The truck can only be allowed to reverse again and again, moving forward, and constantly repeating the monotonous and effective killing.
Six trucks are arranged in a staggered formation of three in the front and three in the back.
Viewed from the air, it looks like two rows of zippers that correspond to each other but have not yet been fastened together.
Every time the front truck retreated, the rear truck immediately rushed forward and began to run over. The roof of the car crucible guns staggered to form a network of fire, and the lone zombies that broke through were handled by rifle shooters. The whole process is methodical, like the two fists of a boxer, alternating between hitting the corpse group, constantly weakening the opponent.
On either side of the rear of the truck convoy, four off-road vehicles followed. The chalk gun on the roof of the car fills the gap in the fire net with point fire, completely sealing the possibility of zombies breaking through from it.
Farther down the street, more than a dozen triangular motorcycles with sirens on their moiss weave back and forth between the surrounding buildings.
Their task is to stop the zombies attracted by the sound, and lure the wandering mutated creatures into the distance. Dozens of gunmen seized the opportunity to occupy the building near the garrison headquarters and shoot the most violent individuals in the crowd with sniper rifles, ready to jump.
Su Hao led more than 40 team members, holding battle axes, and followed the truck forward and backward.
Tomahawk is a hand-to-hand combat weapon that is configured according to the actual needs of front-line troops after the outbreak of the virus. The blade of the axe is made of carbon, which is incredibly hard and very sharp. The length of 1.5 meters is suitable for swinging, it is very lightweight, and it is extremely lethal in close-quarters combat.
"Be careful to maintain your formation and alternate attacks with your body. Don't worry about the back, trust your peers. You're not alone, there's only one direction of attack, and that's the front."
Su Hao roared, wielding a steel axe and slashing at a bloody corpse that rushed in front of him. The sharp blade of the axe cleaves the bloody corpse from head to tail. It screamed, split in half in the air, and fell to the ground with the stench of blood.
This is a tactic of the future realm, dedicated to special terrain with obstacles around the city, such as canyons.
Machinery is the crystallization of human civilization. In order to deal with the increasingly powerful mutated creatures, the humans of the future world realm tried their best to hunt them in various ways. At the beginning of the war, the military's combat mode was still dominated by armored assault and artillery fire coverage. This is very effective for "Level 1 Zombies" who are slow to move. However, zombies are also evolving. When the blood corpses and humanoids gradually became the absolute main force among the mutant creatures, the military that once had the advantage of chalk also collapsed, suffering heavy casualties.
"Kill one and don't stay"
The expression on Su Hao's face was as hard as iron, and his voice was as cold as steel.
He picked up his tomahawk and slashed at the nearest corpse. The moment the axe blade came into contact with the bloody corpse, it was obvious that the opponent's tendons were being cut. The chest of the bloody corpse was completely cut off. Before he could fall to the ground, Su Hao had already stepped forward quickly, grabbed the neck of the bloody corpse with his left hand, turned the battle axe held in his right hand, aimed the axe handle at the hideous and terrifying face, and poked it hard.
The team members involved in hand-to-hand combat are also divided into two rows, front and back, and while the comrades in the front row are fighting fiercely, the people in the back row are staying vigilant and recuperating. They are responsible for protecting the backs of their comrades, waiting for the order of Su Hao or the captain, ready to replace them and rush forward at any time.
Hand-to-hand combat requires a lot of physical energy. Alternate rotations can maintain sufficient stamina. In particular, this form of mutual support can maximize the cooperation between the "worker bees" and exert the most powerful combat effect.
Behind the array of trucks and hand-to-hand combat team members, hundreds of soldiers from the original "Sheng Fei" group descended. They also held steel pipes, clubs and other combat weapons in their hands, and watched the fierce battle in front of them with shocked faces.
A few months ago, they were citizens living in the sun of peace.
The outbreak of the virus made them realize that there is evil and death in this world. They fought and tried, but they were reined in by the "Sheng Fei" group and forced to become slaves at gunpoint.
Su Hao gave them freedom.
That indescribable feeling can only be experienced by those who have truly experienced humiliation and pain.
Many descenders were grateful to Su Hao.
The black particles in their chalk multiply faster than expected.
Three days ago, Zhou Chen conducted the last blood sample test of these prisoners of war, and all of them met the criteria of becoming "worker bees".
Su Hao needs to be recognized by these new team members and needs them to become strong fighters as soon as possible.
The most direct and best way is to let them fight together with the "Queen Bee".
Although with the combat power and skills they currently have, they are not enough to become elite. However, it can grow rapidly in the bloody and tragic fight by cooperating with the front-line "worker bees".
The battle formation of trucks and "worker bees" slowly moved forward.
The strong squeezing and collision attracted the attention of more and more zombies.
They began to turn the direction of their attacks, no longer obsessed with breaching the loose fence in front of the garrison command, and lunged at the opponent who had just appeared.
Bloody mud and bones were rapidly accumulating, and the streets were already covered with a thick layer of sticky flesh.
The heavy chalk gun in the window of the headquarters building was still firing, but the accuracy and rate of fire were greatly reduced, and the soldiers who controlled the guns kept raising their heads and looking in the direction of the convoy. His mouth was wide open, and his expression was more shocked and frightened than the joy of dying in a desperate situation.
All the soldiers had the same thought in their heads.
Wu Guoguang is no exception.
This terrifying way of fighting is simply beyond imagination, completely subverting Wu Guoguang's thinking concept.
He was trained as an officer and was well-versed in a variety of infantry tactics and coordinated combat theories. However, those classic examples in the textbooks are not applicable at all in front of zombies.
Mutated creatures don't feel pain, and only accurate shots can inflict lethal damage on them.
However, in the chaotic state of close combat, how many people can stay calm and shoot in an orderly manner?
No one knows the origin of Su Hao.
Wu Guoguang subconsciously attributed everything he saw to the survivors as the result of the survivors' long-term battle with zombies in the city.
Only then can they explain why they would use such outlandish tactics.
However, it is undeniable that this mode of combat is very effective and much more effective than relying solely on heavy firepower for attack and defense.
Wu Guoguang suddenly understood a little, why did the military always have to select supplementary troops from the survivors in the city?
They faced death, splattered with blood and carrion. There's nothing like this to stimulate the nerves, temper your character, and create powerful humanoid killing machines in batches.
Wu Guoguang didn't know that Su Hao's blood had been injected into his body.
He just felt that there was an indescribable admiration for the young man who rushed to kill on the street a hundred meters away.
Wu Guoguang has always thought that Su Hao's specialty is in research.
Now if he really fights face-to-face, Lao Tzu is not his opponent at all.
Although, I've also swallowed a few silver bones.
A soldier quickly attached the chain to the heavy machine chalk gun, and exclaimed with respect: "They are strong, stronger than us." ”
No one responded to this.
Although they all knew very well that the soldier was right.
The soldiers stationed at the monitoring post are elite.
A group of survivors fleeing the city turned out to be stronger than the elite.
Pride and self-confidence collapsed in an instant.
Wu Guoguang's hands trembled slightly.
He gritted his teeth and stared viciously at the corpses in the distance, as well as Su Hao.
"You should learn from that guy. Hiding behind fortifications and shooting, that's not what a man should do. ”
After saying these two words, an excited and bloodthirsty expression appeared on Wu Guoguang's face.
He threw away the assault rifle in his hand, grabbed the tomahawk leaning against the wall, and roared in an unusually gruff tone.
"Come a few people, follow Lao Tzu up. Chalk guns are responsible for fire suppression. Let those damn filthy creatures know that the soldiers of the Republic are definitely not cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
The battle went much smoother than expected.
When Li Daoyuan arrived over the garrison headquarters with five helicopters, the fierce battle was coming to an end. The group of corpses that were sandwiched between Su Hao's team and Wu Guoguang's team and kept killing were only about a hundred or so left.
The whole battlefield was in shambles, and there were hateful corpses everywhere.
They were chopped to pieces, and all the corpses had no heads. The streets were completely clogged with corpses. Black-red blood, minced meat, various internal organs, and bones mixed together to form an indescribable clump of disgusting slime. In between, there was also a lot of hair, broken fabric, and scattered items such as keys, buttons, zippers, etc., that were carried by zombies. Starting from the gate of the headquarters, yellow-green pus and purple-black flesh slurry covered the road, extending to the street entrance hundreds of meters away.
Li Daoyuan covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, resisting the desire to vomit.
It's not that he's pretentious, it's that the air is full of rancid stench, and the flesh is thick mixed with a lot of feces. He felt like he was about to suffocate, and he might even suffocate to death in this horrific environment.
Su Hao, Wu Guoguang and others didn't feel stinky. The brutal fight made everyone's nerves tense, and the olfactory effect had long been automatically ignored by the brain. They were covered in blood, Su Hao had several gray-black intestines hanging from his shoulders, and Wu Guoguang had an eyeball hanging from his left ear. A variety of muscle fibers can be found on soldiers and team members to a greater or lesser extent.
They don't look like humans at all, but a bunch of ferocious fighting ghosts crawling out of the depths of hell.
"Two thousand, two thousand five maybe more."
Li Daoyuan's eyes were stimulated by the intense blood, and he kept crying. He rubbed it vigorously, trying to come up with an approximate figure through his blurred vision.
It's not difficult to do this, just by using corpses in a square area as a unit to calculate the number of mutated creatures killed on the battlefield.
Of course, this estimate is not exact, but it is not too different.
Two thousand eight, maybe more, this is the number that Li Daoyuan came up with at the most.
This made him stunned, and he stood there like a sculpture.
This, what is this concept?
Last week, the headquarters of the army group announced an update on the battle report on the northern front, and the 0 Infantry Division, reinforced by two regiments and more than 50 combat vehicles, attacked a group of corpses in the theater of operations, which was about 4,000 in size. In the end, the corpses were completely annihilated, with more than 500 combat troops killed and more than 700 officers and men suffering moderate or serious injuries of varying degrees. The military headquarters judged the battle as a "great victory."
Of course, Su Hao couldn't tell Li Daoyuan that he didn't have any losses, and only more than 30 team members were slightly injured.
Li Daoyuan only saw that two soldiers of Wu Guoguang's squad were killed.
He subconsciously thought of the silver bone that Su Hao gave him, as well as the latest research report on silver bone released by the Academy of Sciences.
Could it be that this is the effect of that bone particle?
However, where did Su Haoji's extremely powerful combat power come from?
Wu Guoguang gave Li Daoyuan a rough report on the battle, and there were about 100 hand-to-hand combat members directly involved in the battle in Su Hao's team. Their strength, speed, and endurance far surpassed that of ordinary people, and they were no less than soldiers who had been injected with first-order enhancement potions. Of course, the reason why it was possible to win more with less was mainly due to the special terrain restrictions of the city streets, as well as the result of trucks and heavy fire cover, ramming, and crushing.
Li Daoyuan couldn't help frowning.
It is simply impossible for ordinary people to have such a strong fighting force.
The only explanation is to strengthen people.
He clearly remembered that the first-order strengthening potion that was issued by the group army headquarters and then handed over to Su Hao by himself only had fifty standard units.
Now, there are more than 100 team members directly involved in the battle.
Where did they get the boosters?
Could it be natural evolution?
Faced with Li Daoyuan's doubts, Su Hao looked calm and replied slowly: "I am a researcher of the Academy of Sciences. Dean Wang Qinian gave me a hundred strengthening potions. ”
Li Daoyuan showed a sudden look on his face.
A total of one hundred and fifty potions. This is basically consistent with the actual number of combatants.
I don't know what to do, Li Daoyuan suddenly envied Su Hao.
This guy is already a second lieutenant and an official researcher of the Academy of Sciences. There are very few people who have both identities at the same time. In any case, the onlooker will only see the best side of the people with dual rights, but often ignore the hard work and hardship they put in to get it.
Su Hao said seriously: "In addition, the courtyard also gave me a second-order potion. ”
In addition to the wry smile, Li Daoyuan really didn't know what way to express his inner shock.
According to military regulations, only lieutenants who have excelled in combat can receive second-order potions. Due to a series of problems such as later experiments and production, many colonel-level officers are even first-order reinforcement standards.
