Chapter 172: How did it become a decisive battle?

"You retreat." Before Chen Dalong arrived, he took the lead in shouting.

The defensive team, which was originally fighting and retreating at the same time, turned around and ran away without saying a word after hearing the shout.

The rescue team led by Chen Dalong has made more than a dozen shots in the past few hours, and the teams on the A13 defense line have already seen how strong their combat power is.

They know very well that staying here is dragging their feet, and retreating can be said to be crisp and neat.

As the defenders retreated, these mutant insects that poured onto the city wall did not have time to disperse and attack other places, Chen Dalong rushed into the swarm of insects first.

The two ring-headed knives in his hand, swinging or slashing left and right, teasing, chopping, or sweeping, all used are the simplest moves.

However, when these moves are fast to the extreme, the lethality becomes extremely terrifying.

In the eyes of others, the double knives in Chen Dalong's hands seemed to have formed thousands of swords, and wherever he passed, those mutated insects were cut in half.

With Chen Dalong's entry, he immediately attracted the attention of most of the mutant insects and launched an attack on him.

At this time, the rest of the rescue team entered the scene one after another.

With Chen Dalong in front, their pressure was undoubtedly much less, but even so, they didn't dare to go on a rampage like Chen Dalong at all.

After all, each of these mutant insects that can rush to the top of the city wall can be regarded as the best of their kind, and with the slightest carelessness, they may be injured.

Therefore, the 9 people who followed behind, 4 of whom were good at close combat, took cold weapons in front.

Their mission is to create a safe environment for their companions to output.

The five people who were protected behind were all veterans with superb marksmanship, and after becoming evolutionaries, their strength, eyesight, and reaction speed have been greatly enhanced.

Da-da-da-da!

The 5 people used the strafing mode, if it was before, even if the strafing mode was used within 10 meters, the hit rate of the bullet was estimated to be no more than 20%.

After all, under strafing mode, 10 bullets will be fired in one second, and normal people don't even have time to move the muzzle of the gun, and a shuttle bullet is fired.

In this case, being able to have a 20% hit rate is already the result of their years of training.

And now after becoming an evolutionary, the marksmanship has been greatly enhanced, and the effective hit rate of the bullet can even reach half as long as the distance of these mutant insects is not more than 10 meters.

It doesn't sound great, but it's actually pretty scary.

The automatic rifle has a magazine of 30 rounds, and in strafing mode, it can be completed in three seconds, and the effective hit rate of 50% means that about 15 mutant insects can be killed in 3 seconds.

In the case of the five of them shooting alternately, the efficiency of killing mutant insects is only faster than Chen Dalong.

In just one minute, with the combined efforts of everyone, more than 300 mutated insects that rushed up this section of the city wall were killed.

However, as the number of mutant insects decreases and becomes less dense, the kill efficiency naturally begins to decline.

The members changed the strafing mode to the point shooting mode, and Chen Dalong also changed from being chased by mutant insects to chasing and killing mutant insects.

It took nearly 4 minutes or so, and everyone finally killed the last mutant insect on this section of the city wall.

"Is anyone hurt?" Chen Dalong put away his double knives and came over to ask.

"Nope." Everyone said in unison.

No one was hurt, which was naturally good news, but Chen Dalong was not happy at all now.

He glanced at the mutant swarm in the distance, which seemed to be getting denser and denser, and sighed and said, "Then everyone hurry up and replenish the ammunition." I don't think it will take long, the next wave of attacks is coming. ”

The rest of the people also had solemn expressions when they heard this.

They all felt that this attack was unusual, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Just five minutes later, their hunch came true.

Another wave of mutated insects is coming.

……

At the same time, Bai Yinghui on another section of the city wall, his brows furrowed, looked at the mutant insect swarm that had attacked again.

"The frequency of attacks has really increased, and it has directly increased by three times, what do you say about the analysis results from your staff?" Bai Yinghui asked the chief of staff on the side.

"After deliberation by our staff, it is believed that the sound of guns and cannons here has caused a certain attraction to the mutant swarm, and their movement speed has accelerated."

"Originally, we were only fighting the vanguard, but with the arrival of more and more mutated insects, it is very likely that it will directly evolve into a decisive battle." Jian Jian said with a wry smile.

Bai Yinghui: ???

He looked at the chief of staff with sharp eyes and said, "According to the prediction of your staff, the swarm will probably launch a general attack on the third day after the start of the war. ”

"It's only been a few hours now, and you told me that you were going to have a decisive battle? How did you predict it? Do they all eat dry rice? ”

After a brief pause, he said, "This time our prediction is indeed a big problem, and I am willing to take responsibility this time......

"Stop! Don't tell me about useless stuff. Bai Yinghui waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words and said, "You talk first, what suggestions do you have in the face of this situation?" ”

"First, to implement the decapitation plan, we have locked down those mutant insects mixed in the mutant insect swarm, and they should be the commanders."

"Before the decisive battle, we can use the Reaper missiles to take them out in one go, maybe causing chaos in the swarm. Of course, the swarm is not the same as humans, and it is only a guess that it can have an effect. ”

"Second, the training plan is going to end early, and I suggest that we directly use the means prepared before, and kill and injure their living forces as much as possible before the general attack of the mutant swarm, while preserving our combat power." Simply said.

Bai Yinghui nodded, he thought for a while and asked, "How are the casualties now?" ”

"In the past four hours, the number of wounded has been as high as 7,236, of which 6,404 were slightly injured and could return to the battlefield after bandaging, 832 were seriously injured and could not continue to fight, in addition, 132 people were killed." Jian replied immediately.

Bai Yinghui frowned slightly when he heard this, this number was much more than they had initially estimated.

The number of seriously wounded and killed in action is as high as 964, which is close to 1,000.

This has only been fighting for 4 hours, and they are still facing the vanguard before, if they really face the main force of the swarm, this number may increase several times.

And even if the 6,404 lightly wounded soldiers, although it is said that they can return to the battlefield after bandaging, it does not mean that their combat strength can be recovered immediately, and it is not bad if they can retain two-thirds.

Thinking of this, Bai Yinghui ordered: "Activate the metal storm on the city wall and distribute the new equipment we have developed." ”

"Finally, let the shelling team prepare, and then those mutant insects dare to gather in one place to attack, then up fiercely."

Jian nodded immediately, and passed the order back to the staff for them to carry it out.

After a moment, he asked, "Do you need to increase the number of people defending the city walls?" ”

The total number of fighters in the military, the major security companies, and the enterprises is as high as 60,000.

With so many people, it is naturally impossible for all of them to be sent to the city wall to defend, in fact, they have always maintained a manpower of about 30,000.

And the rest of the people are on rotation, after all, in this kind of high-intensity battle, they are not steel, and rest is inevitable.

After thinking for a while, Bai Yinghui shook his head, "Let's take a look at the casualties later, as long as it is within the range that can be beared, then don't increase the manpower." ”

"After all, the vast majority of the troops are new recruits, and they need to be given some time to adjust themselves."

With the issuance of new orders one after another, the trend of the next battle situation is also undergoing tremendous changes.

The first is the entry of the artillery squad, although the soldiers on the city wall also have grenades, but the power of the grenades, how can they compare to mortars.

Of course, more important is the efficiency of ammunition delivery.

After the mutant insects rushed through the flame zone, they were only 20 meters away from the city wall, so the window left for them to bomb was only a dozen seconds.

In this case, the number of grenades that can be thrown per person is quite limited.

But with an artillery squad, it's different.

They have specially modified artillery launchers that can load hundreds of mortars at once and fire them out in one go.

In this case, not to mention that just a few thousand mutant insects are gathered, even if the number is doubled or tripled, they can be taken away directly in one wave.

So when the shelling team entered the field, the tactics of the mutant insects before, which broke the surface with points, went bankrupt directly.

Even the back did not dare at all, and in a certain place, more than 1,000 mutant insects gathered.

As these mutated insects dispersed around the city walls again to attack, the metal storm above the city walls also activated.

The so-called metal storm is actually a series of machine guns embedded in the wall.

These machine guns were installed in the foundation when the walls were built, and when activated, a small hole was revealed under the walls, which was where the muzzles were located, and then they were fired in a fan shape.

Due to the location of these machine guns, which were at the foundations of the city walls, the muzzles were located almost at ground level.

In this case, as long as the mutant insects are dense to a certain extent, even if no one is aiming, they can directly follow the set program to fan and strafe, and there is a great probability of hitting those mutant insects.

And when the metal storm is activated, the effect is very significant.

The number of mutant insects killed by the metal storm is no less than that of the soldiers on the city walls.

The only problem is that the bullets are a bit more expensive, more than 10 times that of soldiers.

Therefore, the metal storm will only be activated if the attack of the mutant swarm is fierce to a certain extent.

As for the last arrangement, it is to change the equipment of these soldiers.

There are two types of new equipment, the first of which is a high-powered shotgun.

The most terrifying thing about mutant insects is their numbers, but their defenses are very average, not even comparable to first-order mutant animals.

So even if the shotguns are not very powerful, as long as they hit, they can kill them instantly.

And this thing, there are basically no requirements for marksmanship, for recruits, it is undoubtedly the most suitable, as long as you aim at a place with a lot of mutant insects, you can kill at least a dozen with one shot.

With the shotguns, the efficiency of these soldiers on the city wall to kill mutant insects has increased by at least three times.

Shotguns are offensive weapons, and defensive weapons are also indispensable among the newly equipped weapons.

That's the shield.

Yes, each defense squad received at least two giant shields.

Compared with other shields, this kind of shield has a big difference in shape, first of all, it is not vertical, but horizontal.

It is 1.5 meters wide but only 1 meter high, which is completely designed for mutant insects.

In addition, the shield is quite light, because the inside is hollow, and the only thing that is really used for defense is the three-millimeter-thick steel plate in front of it.

On the one hand, this design is flexible and very easy to move, and the three-millimeter-thick steel plate can also block 99% of mutant insect attacks.

On the other hand, the hollow shield on this side contains a mysterious inside, with a powerful discharge device.

As long as the switch is triggered, the surface of the shield can instantly release high-voltage electricity, so that this defensive shield can also be used as a powerful attack weapon.

With these follow-ups, one by one, the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant.

The soldiers on the city wall became more comfortable against the mutant swarm again, and the number of casualties was also falling rapidly, at most only one-tenth of the previous one.

But even if the situation is good, not many people are really excited, especially the top military leaders.

Although their combat power has increased, so have the mutant swarms.

Almost every hour, the strength of the mutant swarm's attack will increase by a level.

No one knows how long their side will be able to maintain their advantage.

Time passed little by little, and finally one night passed.

When the time came to half past six in the morning, a touch of fish belly white had risen in the distance.

As the morning light shone, the soldiers on the city walls did not survive the joy of the night.

Because as the sunlight drove away the darkness, they were able to see farther away, and the mountains were full of mutated insects.

That terrifying amount can definitely make people suffer from dense phobia.

And the huge swarm, like the dark green sea, is slowly but surely approaching Yangcheng.

That's an army of mutant insects.

Seeing the scene in front of him, let alone these ordinary soldiers, even Ye Feng felt a little numb in his scalp.

With such a large number of mutated insects, under normal circumstances, even if the Dragon King Hall poured out of the nest, it would be difficult to kill it, and it was more likely to be slowly consumed to death.

Ye Feng felt that this time he might really have to make a move in his body to solve the problem.

While thinking about this, his eyes looked at Bai Yinghui in the distance, but he was a little surprised to find that the other party had a calm face.

"Huh! Could it be that the military is sure to deal with it? ”
