826 A slight setback

This particular vehicle has its own ability to travel short distances, and the hydraulic arm has a rotating mechanism composed of steel cables and steel balls, which when driven like a chain hammer that rotates at high speeds.

The driver will adjust the height of the hydraulic arm to bring the rotating chain hammer close to the zombie's neck, and then harvest the zombie's head like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves like a harvester harvesting wheat.

Compared with bullets, the efficiency of this chain hammer to kill zombies is many times higher, it consumes only a little fuel, the cost is very low, and there is no need to worry that zombies will besiege the excavator.

Several of these machines cover each other, and under the flexible rotation of the hydraulic arm, basically no zombie can break through the chain hammer, and if it hits, it will be shattered, no matter which part of the body.

Yang Ming and Zhang Ke had no better way, and set up two temporary assembly places for zombies in their plan. One is in the west of the city, where there is a large reservoir called Nam Van Lake. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, meandering, and almost every ravine meets the conditions for gathering zombies, and it is a natural giant zombie tomb.

The second is also a reservoir, in the east of the city, called Haiying Reservoir. The scale is naturally not as small as Nanwan Lake, but it is surrounded by roads, the transportation is convenient, the distance is also close, and if it is planned properly, it is enough to accommodate one or two hundred thousand zombies.

With a temporary staging area, the assignment of tasks is naturally clear. Yang Ming continued to lead the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and the regimental direct team to lead the zombie group to Nam Van Lake from the west of the city.

Zhang Ke still led the third battalion and a guard company to the east along the North Ring Road to the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, using this expressway as a starting point to lead the zombie herd from east to west to the Haiying Reservoir.

The two armies will be like peeling an onion, leading away the zombie groups remaining in the ruins of the city layer by layer, until the two sides converge, and the first phase of the combat mission will be completed. This process will last about 20 days as planned, provided that the weather does not change much.

"The material assembly site of the Gugang Reservoir will be temporarily retained, and a major forward base will be added here."

Hong Tao was definitely not qualified to participate in the combat meeting, and after listening to Wang Gang and Ben Pig convey the spirit of the meeting, he had no objection to the battle plan. When he had not escaped by cheating, the clean-up of Jinmen Port was also carried out in this way, which was indeed a good way.

But he instinctively didn't want to trust anyone, including Zhang Ke, so he had to set up some safety devices outside of the plan. For example, how to escape in case of an accident. Another example is how to hold on and wait for help if the situation is worse and you are besieged by zombies.

At this time, the material assembly place set up in the Gugang Reservoir was very important, whether it was Yang Ming's main force or Zhang Ke's partial division, they would pass by when they evacuated to the north. And this is also the only terrain on the road to the north that can withstand the siege of a large number of zombies, and there is no one!

However, the Gugang Reservoir is about 4 kilometers away from the North Ring Road, which is a bit far away, and it is inconvenient for the drivers to load ammunition and supplies to transport them to the front line. So he found a more suitable place on the map - Xinyang Vocational and Technical College Campus.

The campus is large, with empty stadiums and gymnasiums that can be used as temporary warehouses, and high-rise buildings that can be used as watchtowers to monitor the surrounding movements.

The main thing is that it is close to the main road to the north and passes by the Gugang Reservoir. In the words of the ancients, it is called connecting the north and the south, taking into account the east and west, and it is really a place where soldiers must fight!

Of course, this statement was installed by Hong Tao himself, but Zhang Ke also agreed. After listening to Wang Gang and Benzhu's arrangement, he not only readily agreed, but also set up his headquarters together, which shows that Hong Tao's location is very crucial.

"Gangzi, you continue to stay at the forward base to coordinate and command, and I will follow the company. Be careful, don't talk too much about us with this chief of staff, you have more to talk about than you think! ”

But this is not good news for Hong Tao, the place where the headquarters is must be far away, so the easy work of commanding has to be handed over to Wang Gang, and he will continue to suffer on the front line!

Compared with the first phase of the clean-up operation, the task at this stage is obviously a lot heavier, mainly because the population density is large, the corresponding zombie density is also large, the buildings are next to each other, and the community is adjacent to the community, and if you don't pay attention to it, you have to be surrounded.

So how did the army lure the zombies away? It's simple and primitive. They assigned a limited number of cavalry to each platoon, and then in platoon units, the soldiers rode into the neighborhood on horseback.

First, lead the zombies wandering outside to the pre-found intersection, and then lure out more zombies nearby through the sound of gunfire, gather enough to gather a certain number, and be led by the cavalry to the reservoir to gather.

It's easy to say, but it's dangerous to execute. The first is the problem of falling from a height, zombies are not afraid of death at all, and I am afraid that there is no concept of death. They may only have three things in their lifetime. First, do everything you can to find a new host for the virus; Second, make time for the sun; Third, don't get into the water!

As soon as they spot human activity, these guys will jump from a dozen floors without hesitation, and even if none of them succeed, they will continue to do so. In the narrow community, the zombies falling from the sky brought great trouble to the cavalry.

The second is the overall situation and planning, the cavalry responsible for luring zombies will carry a hand table and headset, and communicate with the drone operator through the radio at any time, which is used to determine the changes in the number of zombies around them, and then decide how to get in and out.

In the event of a mistake, or if the cavalry is surrounded, the vigilant troops can only rush forward and use bullets to carve out a way to catch the cavalry. This not only requires tacit understanding, but also has a strong ability to resist pressure, and cannot panic in case of trouble.

The zombie group must have been led over in batches, and the soldiers in charge of receiving it must plan the way in and out in advance, and communicate accurately with the cavalry, otherwise it will be a tragedy.

Finally, there is the question of cavalry technology and horse adaptability, and there is a big difference in technique between riding a horse and running in the streets of the city and in the grasslands, mountains, and forests. It is also best to blindfold the horse so that it does not frighten it, as the horse is completely operated by the rider.

To be honest, the soldiers are very brave, and most of them regard fighting zombies as their job, except for a few complaints about food and weather problems, there is basically no negativity, and they have qualified experience and ability in dealing with zombies.

As the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. No matter how well prepared he is, he can't stop the sudden appearance of this guy. In just one morning, 4 soldiers in the 2nd battalion led by Zhang Ke disappeared forever.

One person was directly hit by a zombie that fell from a high altitude, and the other two were raided by a blue devil hiding in the community. In order to exterminate this guy, another human life was taken.

Jin Ge Iron Horse goes, and the horse leather shroud is returned! Since ancient times, it has been the norm for good men to die on the battlefield, and from time to time they will be praised by literati and rioters in poems. I don't know if these soldiers who use their lives to defend their kind from aliens will also be able to enjoy this kind of treatment in the future.

But their current treatment is really not as good as that of their ancestors, they don't even have horse leather, and they don't even have ashes, so they can only follow the zombie herd and join the group, and in the future, they will be beaten into minced meat by a chain hammer, and finally burned.

There were casualties, and the drivers of the convoy finally came to their senses from the blind optimism of the previous two days, but they went to the other extreme, and began to hesitate and fear the approaching front.

"Would you like to help the gang as a soldier?" Hong Tao saw it in his eyes and was depressed in his heart.

It's not good to be overly optimistic, but it's more troublesome to be in a state of panic all the time, and it's easy to be in a state of panic. What to do? It's obviously not very effective to just be reasonable, so he plans to take a practical action to show everyone that zombies are not scary!

"How?" The stupid pig was one of the few calm coachmen, and this small casualty was nothing to him.

"Find four horses, remove the horseshoe, and follow me as bait, so that they can see what riding is!" In addition to worrying about the coachman's mental state, Hong Tao didn't want the soldier to die again.

Most of the soldiers can ride horses, but few can be called good at riding. When two horse-skimmed horsemen were killed by the Blue Devil, the two soldiers who replaced them were really worried about their riding skills.

After getting on the horse, he grabbed the reins with both hands, tensed all over, and patronized the search for zombies, and was almost swept off the horse by a branch. If it goes on like this, you don't have to wait for the Blue Devil to appear, and there will be a tragedy if you have a slight terrain obstacle.
