Chapter 273: Thermobaric Bomb
In the process of the mutant bird raid, Tang Zheng himself faced the threat of the mutant bird.
Because he needs to stand in the center of the second ring road, so that he can send troops to all corners to support as quickly as possible.
And a considerable number of mutant birds began to attack Tang Zheng.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the guard company have been protecting Tang Zheng's side, and the war eagle Kunpeng also took hundreds of five-star war eagles to guard the sky.
Five-star dogs such as Da Cong also protected Tang Zheng's side to deal with mutant birds attacking from all directions.
Tang Zheng took on a large part of the attack here, and also relieved the pressure on the surroundings.
The soldiers of the guard company around him were also injured.
And in this environment, the appearance of flamethrower warriors around Tang Zheng one after another gradually began to turn the tide of the battle.
The flamethrower warrior is worthy of being the natural enemy nemesis of the mutant bird, and a flamethrower warrior in this case is at least equivalent to more than fifty mobilized soldiers.
No mutant bird can survive where the long flame dragon has sprayed it, and no matter how big or small, fierce or not, it will be reduced to ashes under the flame gun.
The arduous battle lasted for an hour, and under the coordinated attack of the defenders of the city wall, ground troops, war eagles and military dogs, the group of mutant birds left more than 300,000 corpses, and finally more than 100,000 mutant birds retreated and flew away.
When the last mutant bird disappeared, Tang Zheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
His back was wet with sweat, which showed the pressure brought to him by the mutant bird.
This time it was a bit of a mistake, I didn't expect the little corpse girl to be so decisive, she directly gave up attacking the city wall, but pounced on the residential area, in this forty square kilometers of land, it really made the soldiers of the Light Chaser Army tired.
If Tang Zheng hadn't predicted this result half an hour in advance, this time the trouble would have been big.
The mutant bird has retreated, and the mutant rat has not yet arrived.
Taking advantage of the intermission, Tang Zheng checked the situation in the system.
In such a short period of time, the funds fell by more than a million more, of which more than a thousand flamethrower fighters were produced, and the rest of the money was consumed by ammunition.
But Tang Zheng also found that this wave of mutant birds also caused the death of more than 300 recruits.
More than 200 military dogs were also killed, and dozens of war eagles also died in the attack.
The sacrifices of many soldiers are caused by the protection of civilians, blocking the eyes in times of crisis, and resisting mutant birds.
Under the protection of the soldiers, the civilian losses of the Second Ring Road were very small, and there were only a few dozen casualties after the fact, which was already a blessing in misfortune.
When the mutant bird retreated, the civilians in the city began to cheer, they were very grateful for the protection of the Light Chaser Army, and those who had not been in the Light Chaser City for a long time also began to have a sense of belonging to the city at this moment.
Even many people who were protected began to call for donations to support the troops in the fight against zombies.
Under the deliberate guidance of the Chasing Light Army, many people began to take out some of the gold and silver jewelry they had saved to support the development of the army.
Tang Zheng's funds, which had been fighting repeatedly and his ammunition reserves were declining, finally recovered.
This made Tang Zheng sigh, this can be regarded as planting beans and getting beans, and planting melons and getting melons.
risked the risk to protect this group of people, and as a result, with their support, the funding dropped to 10 million, and after this wave, it rose again to 14 million.
And this rebound is still slowly continuing, Tang Zheng estimates that the funds in the hands of the people can be between 10 million and 20 million.
And Tang Zheng didn't let the people take out the jewelry in vain, he asked the Ministry of the Interior to allocate 500 million light yuan to give back to those who donated jewelry.
This initiative once again stimulated the enthusiasm of the people, after all, everyone is not rich, and some people are still reluctant to take out things for nothing.
But being able to give money is different, many people take out jewelry again, not only to support the construction of the army, but also in exchange for living expenses, killing two birds with one stone.
Many residents of the Second Ring Road braved the cold wind of the night to go to the bank and began to exchange their jewelry for funds.
The jewelry in the hands of the people is almost the last money that can be found in the city, and the extra money has a very positive effect on the war.
In addition to the first wave of donations, the subsequent process will take time, after all, it is already night.
Two hours passed, and Tang Zheng's attention returned to the battlefield again.
During this time, the bombardment of the Light Chaser Army has not stopped, and the bombardment of the arriving corpses has continued.
Every moment, there are zombies who are constantly being killed by shelling.
Under the deliberate control of the Light Chaser Army, a considerable distance had been opened between the corpse group and the mutant rat group that was charging ahead.
Tang Zheng was put on the spot by the little corpse girl, and he felt a little breathless, he had already decided to instigate a counterattack.
The target of the counterattack was locked on this group of mutant rats.
Like the flock of birds, the number of rats scattered in this wave is also half a million.
Tang Zheng wanted to eliminate this wave of rats and give the little corpse girl a tribute, but how to annihilate them was a big problem.
The effect of artillery bombardment is not too great, after all, the number of rats is as high as 500,000, and the area is relatively large, and the killing range of artillery fire is relatively limited, not to mention that the main targets of artillery fire are concentrated on the corpses in the distance.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Zheng decided to let the bombers go out.
In the case of a large number of mutant birds, the take-off and landing of the aircraft is risky, so it will not be dispatched under normal circumstances.
But now it's different, the mutant birds have just receded, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of mutant birds have returned to the corpse group, and it happens to be a blank period at this moment.
Tang Zheng ordered, and the bombers began to rise inside the airfield.
Five bombers carried out the first wave of bombing missions, and under the escort of the war eagles, the bombers successfully lifted into the air, and soon arrived at the place more than ten kilometers away from the second ring road.
In the dark night, the cold wind howls, and the temperature in the field can freeze people.
But for a mouse that has mutated, these temperatures are nothing.
They run across the field, their scarlet eyes like ghostly fire, and it's terrifying to look at.
The pilot of the bomber, flying the plane, flew from a low altitude, and through the faint light of the flares, all he could see was a black carpet rolling over the snowy fields.
Five bombers flew in a herringbone pattern, and then the pilot opened the ammunition hatch.
Huge piles of bombs fell from the sky and were dropped to the ground.
Behind the trajectory over which the plane flew, there was a series of explosions.
In the rumbling explosion, a large number of rats were blown up all over the sky.
The five bombers threw half of the day's spare bombs in the engine room, creating a linear vacuum.
The plane hummed over the blast, then climbed and circled in preparation for a second round of bomb drops.
On the city wall of Chasing Light City, Tang Zheng looked at the bombing effect of this round and frowned slightly.
In one round of bombing, about 20,000 mutant rats were killed, and the effect can be said to be good.
But this effect is not yet satisfactory to Tang Zheng.
The first round is when the rats are the most dense, killing 20,000, and the second round will not have such good efficiency.
Moreover, the rats have already approached ten kilometers outside the city, and if they let the rats advance, they will enter the minefield of the city of chasing light.
These 500,000 rats are like passing through a minefield, and they will definitely detonate the minefield.
Today's mines are anti-personnel, and they can be detonated with a few kilograms of weight, and the average weight of these rats is already more than ten kilograms.
If the mutant rats were allowed to detonate the mine array, it would be a loss for Tang Zheng.
But this problem is not easy to solve, because the conventional bombs dropped by airplanes are just that.
Sure enough, the second round of bombing only killed thousands of rats.
After the first round of bombardment, the rats also learned smartly, and they even burrowed into the ground to dodge, which also had a certain effect.
He needed a bomb with more power.
He still remembered that a few days ago, He Xue said that the bomb research was almost done, and Tang Zheng immediately called to inquire.
On the other side of the phone, He Xue gave Tang Zheng a message.
"General, the development of incendiary bombs is still in progress, the enriched uranium obtained from the Fifth Army, I made two small nuclear bombs, in addition to the thermobaric bombs, but this bomb needs to use aluminum, boron, silicon, titanium, magnesium, zirconium and other substances, at present, we are scarce in raw materials, and we can't rely on resource recycling stations to reduce costs, so I didn't report like you, if you think you can use it, then you can unlock it in the army, but the price of this thing is more expensive."
Hearing the news, Tang Zheng was immediately excited.
The thermobaric bomb is a new weapon developed on the basis of the cloud burst bomb, and Liu Yibang in Hezhou had a few of them, which were hidden like treasures, and later used when dealing with zombies.
This weapon explosion can produce high temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees, and the coverage area is huge, and the killing and damage of hidden targets is strong, and it has a huge effect on underground targets.
The blast wave is long and powerful, causing targets within the explosion area to suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
If these raw materials are available, the price of this weapon is not too high, but in the absence of raw materials, the price is a bit expensive.
Tang Zheng immediately opened the list, and soon found this weapon in the equipment column.
[COAB-500PM thermobaric bomb: The bullet is 2.5 meters long, 0.37 meters in diameter, weighs 910 kilograms, and weighs 250 kilograms of explosives, which is 7 times more powerful than ordinary TNT, and can detonate all oxygen within a radius of 600 meters within seven seconds, and the shock wave will also bring huge damage. Sold for 5,000 gold. (Costs can be reduced by up to 90 percent through resource recovery stations.) )】
It seems that the heavy bomb made by He Xue is a thermobaric bomb, but the cost is really distressing.
But there is no way, Tang Zheng does not have many rare minerals now, and the price is expensive, so he can only pinch his nose and endure it.
I bought ten pieces at once, which is 50,000 gold.
The five bombers, which had not yet set sail, were loaded with new thermobaric bombs and lifted into the air.
The first group of five bombers returned, and the second group of planes came to the skies above the mutant rats.
"Put!"
As the command center gave the order, the bomber dropped the bomb.
The most splendid night scene is open more than ten kilometers south of the city.
Each bomb brought up a huge fireball that soared into the sky, and the fireball burst in all directions, instantly covering a large number of mutant rats below!
Many rats have already burrowed into the ground, but thermobaric bombs can kill targets four or five meters underground, and this kind of burrowing is very futile.
The explosion instantly drained the surrounding oxygen, almost flipping the ground over.
No matter how deep the rat hid, it was instantly hit into meat sauce by the shock wave!
or smash, or burn, or suffocate.
Wherever the explosion went, no one survived!
On Tang Zheng's radar screen, at least hundreds of thousands of mutant rats in that area were emptied in an instant!
Seeing this, Tang Zheng secretly admired, sure enough, there is a reason why it is expensive.
