Chapter Eighty-Five: Preparing for Battle{2}
In the next few days, Shen Chen and his entourage spent time in a busy manner, in order to deal with the next wave of zombies, the base was fully dispatched this time.
First of all, all the buildings within five kilometers of the base were bulldozed to free up the line of sight for shooting, and at the same time, all the scraps that were dismantled were transported to the city wall to strengthen the city wall.
The big pit that was originally used to burn corpses, under the whim of the General Staff, was dug every 100 meters outside the city wall, a huge pit five meters wide and ten meters deep, like a moat in ancient times, enclosing the base? Two of these huge pits have been dug day and night by dozens of military excavators and excavators pulled back from the surrounding area, and the third is being excavated, while another earthen wall has been piled up on the periphery of the city walls.
At the same time, the helicopters and fighter planes used as treasures in the base brought enough ammunition to block the zombies in the direction of the city without interruption, which can make these pilots tired enough, and they guaranteed that this was their highest intensity flight, but fortunately they did not encounter the previous zombie birds during this period.
In addition, the only remaining heavy artillery in the base is also constantly bombarding the town where the command zombies are located, constantly consuming the number of zombies, although the results are good, but the amount of ammunition consumed in the base is also very amazing.
All the gasoline in the gas stations around the base was also pulled back by the soldiers in tanker trucks, and the gasoline was brought back to be made into incendiary bombs by the sappers, and at the same time, the small arsenal in the base was also operating day and night, although this arsenal could not produce heavy weapons, but bullets and barrel grenades were still possible.
The sappers moved boxes of mines out again, and this time with enough time, they planted mines within five kilometers of the base and the outer wall without five meters apart, forming a mine array, and did not want to throw them at will before, resulting in many mines not playing a sufficient lethal role.
……………..
In the command post, Lin Tianxiong issued one order after another, after several days of high-intensity work, the basic sleep time did not exceed two hours a day, and his whole person aged a lot.
"Commander! Take a break! Looking at the haggard commander who was rubbing his forehead, the guard opened his mouth to remind.
"Well, Xiao Zhang, what time is it?"
Xiao Zhang looked at his watch, "Commander, it's 9 o'clock in the morning!" You've not had a break for twenty hours! He accentuated the last few words.
How could Lin Tianxiong not hear the meaning of his words, looked at him with a look of concern, and smiled, "Okay! I'll go and squint for a while, and call me if there's something! ”
Standing up, Lin Tianxiong only felt dizzy, his body shook, and Xiao Zhang saw that he was quickly helped to the marching bed on the side, and saw him lie down and sleep, Xiao Zhang walked out of the empty command post and stood outside the door to guard.
A figure in the distance walked towards this side, it was Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hao, who had been missing for a long time.
"Is the commander here?"
Looking at Wu Hao, who was full of dust and tired in front of him, Xiao Zhang asked in some surprise, "Lieutenant Colonel Wu?" ”
Wu Hao wiped his face, "It's me!" ”
"It's really Lieutenant Colonel Wu, where have you been these days?"
"That's a long story, is the commander in there?"
Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Wu didn't want to answer, Xiao Zhang didn't ask: "Lieutenant Colonel Wu, the commander just fell asleep, and he hasn't rested much in the past few days!" Are you in a hurry? ”
Hearing his words, Wu Hao thought for a while, "Okay! Then I'll wait for the commander to wake up! Is there a place to rest? ”
In order to complete the task of the commander, he has not had a good rest for a long time.
"Yes! There are beds in the tent next to it! ”
Wu Hao yawned and walked to the tent to rest.
.....
Tens of thousands of people were scattered 5 kilometers around the base, digging with iron drills and smashing heads, and countless people flocked to each wall to load the excavated earth and stone onto the trucks next to them, and then the trucks pulled the waste outside the city wall and unloaded, and dozens of tanks acted as road rollers to compact the loose earth and stones. The original walls were slowly being heightened and widened.
Despite the slashing of their hands, and the prostration of their exhaustion, they did not dare to waste a second, because these people knew that every effort they put in would improve their chances of survival.
A few kilometers away, further afield, more than a thousand warriors every three kilometers desperately built fortifications using various methods and materials. Whether it's an abandoned vehicle or furniture in a building, it's used to hold back the movement speed of the zombie army.
Overhead fighter jets full of ammunition whizzed by, flew over the zombies, threw air-to-ground missiles and bombs into the zombie group, and set off a sea of fire in the zombie group to block the zombies' pace.
At the same time, several helicopters circled around the zombie group in mid-air, shooting the zombie group with machine guns while transmitting the latest news back to the base.
All the people are desperate, because of the latest news, the zombie army is already less than twenty kilometers away from the base, and the scale is growing, the preliminary estimate is that there are about three million ordinary zombies, and there are countless high-level zombies. Now they are slowly moving in the direction of the base, and at their speed, they will meet with the zombies in the town in less than two days.
Lin Tianxiong in the command post woke up, looked at the somewhat dim environment, put on his clothes and got up from the bed.
"Xiao Zhang! Xiao Zhang! ”
"It's coming! Commander! Zhang lifted the curtain and walked in.
Straightened his clothes, "What time is it?" Has anyone come to me! ”
Xiao Zhang poured a glass of water and handed it to him, "It's four o'clock in the afternoon!" ”
"It's four?" Lin Tianxiong took a sip of water, his brows furrowed, he didn't expect to sleep for so long, "Then is anyone looking for me?" ”
"Oh! By the way, Lieutenant Colonel Wu said that there is something to look for you! ”
"Why didn't you remind me! Call him in! Lin Tianxiong's tone was obviously a little anxious.
"Yes!"
In reply, Xiao Zhang walked out of the command post and soon brought Wu Hao in.
Seeing him come in, Lin Tianxiong nodded to him, and said to Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, you go to the door and stay at the door!" No one can come in without my orders! ”
"Yes!" Xiao Zhang Lizheng saluted and withdrew.
Seeing Wu Hao's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Lin Tianxiong didn't have to think that what had happened to him in the past few days was not good, he pulled him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, sat next to him and asked, "Is the matter arranged?" ”
Wu Hao was also not polite to him, took a sip of water, and said arrogantly: "Uncle Lin, can I handle it?" ”
"You ugly boy is still so big and not small, see what you can!"
"Hey, hey! Isn't it nobody? ”
From the words they converved, it can be heard that the relationship between these two people is not just the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"Let's talk about it!"
Wu Hao put away his big grinning expression, and recounted the trip with a serious face, and the content of the conversation between the two after that would not be known to the entire base, including his nephew Lin Fei.
