Chapter 115: Preparing for the Battle (Three Watches, One Hundred and Five Month Ticket Plus)
When they first began to hear Tang Zheng say that the whole army was ready, the people in Chasing Light City were still a little unimpressed.
Because the number of troops in the city of chasing light does not seem to be large, except for the defenders on the city wall, there have been no other troops, at most some engineering troops and people from the security department have appeared.
Therefore, when Tang Zheng said all-arms warfare at this time, people thought it was just a slogan.
But soon, they realized that they were wrong.
The troops turned out from the west side of the Guyun Mountain and rumbled towards the City of Chasing Light.
When the gates were opened, and the army entered the city, the city was boiling.
Watching the tanks rumble forward, the metal tracks crushing the ground and making a clattering sound.
Look at the military trucks loaded with soldiers and huge artillery in tow.
Watch the armored car move forward, watch the jeep move forward.
The warriors' skin was dark and shiny, and their clothes were not clean, but the aura of the entire army almost exploded, and it looked like a lion in a hundred battles.
It turned out that there were so many troops outside the city of Chaser City.
Although people were forbidden to go out and were now staying indoors, they still opened their windows and kept cheering at the troops entering the city.
The streets had been cleared and were now empty, and the troops had entered the city very smoothly.
After entering the city, the whole army immediately engaged in intense preparations for war.
In Tang Zheng's hands, there are still sixty purchase places, which are the mobile forces that remain.
Tang Zheng's original idea was to purchase a group of paratroopers as an air assault force.
But now it doesn't seem feasible, this time the massive zombies faced are all ground troops, and the paratroopers are useless.
It is also not possible to buy ordinary arms such as mobilized soldiers, and what the army lacks now is the arms of mass destruction.
Therefore, after research, Tang Zheng decided to buy five artillery pieces, five 107 rocket launchers, and add the arms of these two artillery units to ten each.
Five howitzers, you need a combat group of five people.
Five 107 rocket launchers, also need a combat group of five three-people.
The forty places were used up, and Tang Zheng also spent 75,000 gold.
There are still twenty places, and Tang Zheng has purchased four more Little Bird helicopters and four transport helicopters.
The Bird helicopter combat group was two people, four aircraft for eight people.
The transport helicopter combat group was three people, four aircraft twelve people.
Together, exactly twenty people.
340,000 gold was spent, and Tang Zheng's army aviation company already had ten helicopters, which could be regarded as beginning to take shape.
Although in the air battle, the combat effectiveness of the helicopter can only be regarded as average, but the other side has no air units, and Tang Zheng's ten planes can also bring a lot of trouble to the corpse group.
If the zombie leader dared to show his face in the middle of the battle, Tang Zheng could have the helicopter perform the decapitation operation.
More than 400,000 gold was spent before and after, and Tang Zheng's entire battalion finally reached the state of full strength, and there was no one place.
But there is no quota for this, it is a quota for people, and Tang Zheng can also buy a type of troops, that is, military dogs.
Military dogs are not very useful in front-line battles, but once a zombie breaks through the front-line, military dogs can play a role.
There are many dogs, and it has happened more than once that the dog bites and licks the eater.
Tang Zheng now has seventy or eighty military dogs in the battalion, and he bought another hundred at one time, and the task of these military dogs is to patrol and guard inside the city wall.
Once a zombie breaks through the city wall, the military dog must rush up to meet it as soon as possible.
After adding all the troops, Tang Zheng hurried to the arsenal.
Here in the arsenal, a large number of bullets are being manufactured.
The various field companies sent people over to prepare to carry the bullets back.
Then Tang Zheng didn't come to see the bullets at the moment, he came to produce mines.
In addition to the bullet production line, the arsenal also has a production line for artillery shells, a rocket artillery production line and a mine production line.
Tang Zheng has seen the group of corpses he faced this time, and the number can almost be determined.
The total number of corpses that arrived was between 900,000 and 1 million.
Tang Zheng is more inclined to the number of one million, because this corpse king obviously has an enmity with him, and he must bring as many zombies as he can bring, and he will not give himself a chance.
If it is one million zombies, there are only 2,500 people in his entire army, and one person has to kill 400 zombies to defeat this corpse group.
And this is not an ordinary zombie, it is filled with a large number of mutated zombies and quasi-mutant zombies, and a mutated zombie can even wipe out a survivor squad, which shows how difficult it is to kill.
Therefore, it is the most effective way to reduce the number of zombies as much as possible.
Tang Zheng had never had the opportunity to use a weapon like a mine before, but this time it can be put to use.
In fact, after he received the funds from Shuanglin, the mines here were already being produced, and nearly 100,000 mines have been produced so far.
Under normal circumstances, a mine sells for 2 gold.
But the arsenal has mine production lines here, which can reduce costs.
The shell of the mine can be made of iron, ceramic, stone, plastic, rubber, etc.
Of course, copper can also be used, but Tang Zheng will not use expensive copper on mines.
The cheapest plastic is the main material for making mines this time.
With the addition of the main ingredient and gunpowder, the crafting cost of the mine has been reduced to 0.5 gold.
The main thing is that gunpowder is needed relatively more, and in the end it only compresses the cost by 75%.
The city has accumulated quite a lot of shells and bullets in the past few days, and tonight's task is to produce mines with all its might.
Boxes of mines were removed from the warehouse, and the production line was constantly being produced here, and the finished products were immediately loaded into trucks and transported outside the city.
The battlefields of the battle should be the South Gate and the East Gate, of which the South Gate should be the main battlefield of this battle because of its open terrain.
As soon as the mines were removed from the city, the engineering units began to lay mines rapidly.
This kind of mine does not need to be buried underground, because zombies can't do the delicate work of dodging mines even if they have the command of the leader, so they just need to throw the mines on the ground.
When the arsenal builds a cart, the sappers throw a cart.
From evening to early morning, the Light Chasers threw about 150,000 mines outside the city.
Most of these mines are concentrated outside the south gate, and about 30,000 mines are also scattered near the east gate, leaving as many dead corners as possible.
The sappers were busy, and the fighters of several field companies were hurrying to rest.
When it was dawn, the warriors got up.
The cooking platoon, as well as the cooking squad of each company, got up in the middle of the night and began to prepare food.
In the past, the soldiers usually returned to the inner city for meals, but this time the place of dining was set up under the city walls.
Several field battles, even Tang Zheng has already been assigned tasks.
The South Gate Defense Area is the defense area of the 234 Combat Companies.
The East Gate Defense Area is a company defense area.
The cooking squad directly under each company began to light a fire and cook under the walls of their respective defense areas.
When the city was first built, Tang Zheng had ordered that no buildings should be built within 50 meters of the city wall.
There is a ring road here, which can be used as the outer ring of the city in peacetime, and is a lane for transporting troops in wartime.
The driveway leads directly above the city walls, and the chariots can drive to the top of the walls.
At this time, a large cauldron was placed on the driveway, and a lot of mutant beast meat was also moved out and was being stewed in the cauldron, exuding an attractive aroma.
Connected to the cooking squad is the medical unit of the Chasing Light Army.
For a long time, there was almost no combat attrition in the battle of the Chaguang Army, but a soldier died during the attack on Shuanglin County, which was inseparable from the efforts of the medical troops.
Tang Zheng could imagine the tragedy of this battle, so the medical troops had already been prepared in place.
Makeshift beds were set up, and simple medical tents were set up.
Those medics who have risen to the stars can even operate on wounded soldiers on the battlefield at any time.
Many of the medical soldiers are strong young men, who can not only save people, but also have an important job, which is to carry stretchers.
Therefore, Tang Zheng buys medical soldiers, male soldiers and female soldiers are all proportional, there must be men who contribute, and there must be careful women.
The sappers were laying mines, and the soldiers, after eating early, began to carry boxes of bullets to the top of the city walls.
Each company, each platoon, and specifically each squad, has its own section for defense.
Bullets are at their feet, ready to be used when fighting.
Artillery in the distance also approached the inner city and set up an attack formation.
Ten howitzers, ten rocket launchers, all adjusted in place.
There are also a lot of shell boxes piled up next to it, this time Tang Zheng has spent a lot of money, and after he has money, the arsenal will go all out to produce to ensure that the soldiers have enough ammunition.
More than 400,000 yuan was spent on the purchase of aircraft artillery, and now the money for shells, bullets plus mines is also close to 300,000.
If there was no arsenal before, the number of purchases this time would almost make Tang Zheng bankrupt.
Tang Zheng, who had not closed his eyes almost all night, came to the vicinity of the south gate early.
According to the radar map, the army of zombies is still more than 20 kilometers away from the city of chasing light.
Within three hours, the troops should be in the city.
Tang Zheng climbed the city wall and looked up at the sky.
Today's weather is not good or bad, it is similar to the previous days, the sky is full of dark clouds, and there is wind.
It's okay in the city, walking on the city walls, the wind is stronger.
The wind swept up the banner of the Light Chaser Army, and the hunt sounded.
The soldiers are basically ready in place, and they are all on standby in their own defense area at the moment, and they are all ready to salute when they see Tang Zheng coming.
Tang Zheng waved his hand and gave an order in the system, when fighting, you don't have to care about etiquette.
The soldiers who received the order all saluted the respected general in their hearts.
Tang Zheng held the battlements of the city wall with both hands and looked at the vast land outside the city.
The meandering river flows, and the plains and mountains in the distance are in full view, giving you a feeling of the sky and the wilderness.
But who would have known that such a beautiful place was about to become a battlefield.
