Chapter 143: The Air Force Appears
That night, in the northwest of Hunchun City, violent gunshots and explosions suddenly occurred. Some people even saw violent fires. People who had just calmed down felt their hearts rise again. Many people stuck their heads out of the window toward the gunfire. But in the dark night, only gunshots and explosions could be heard, but no other abnormalities could be seen.
"I said Lao Wang, do you think zombies are coming in?" A person asked the neighbor who was also looking around.
"Xiao Lizi, stop guessing. Can zombies shoot? The gunfire you heard doesn't sound like the gun used in our gathering place. It should be a bandit!" This neighbor, Lao Wang, was not sure either.
"Then do you think anything will happen to our base?"
"Probably not. If something happens, look at the soldiers standing guard over there, none of them went to reinforce. It shouldn't be a big deal." Lao Wang said, pointing to the soldiers on guard duty at the corner watchtower.
Sure enough, the soldiers on the street corner still stood firm and did not send reinforcements in the direction of the gunfire, but the soldiers seemed to be on guard for something.
Seeing that the soldiers standing guard remained the same, the residents felt relieved and went back to their houses to sleep, assuming that the gunshots were naughty children setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night.
The next morning, a notice was posted in front of the city hall: The grain storage in Hunchun City was attacked by armed criminals last night. The militants were repulsed under the stubborn resistance of the heroic guards. It has been found out that this group of militants is Chen Yong, the owner of the original grain store, and his associates. Chen Yong has now absconded. Anyone with information who informs the government will be rewarded with 100 first-order crystal cores.
After seeing the government notice, everyone finally knew what happened last night. At the same time, everyone hated Chen Yong. He was hoarding food crazily and driving up food prices. Not only that, but he also planned to attack the grain depot. This was simply... He wanted to cut off his own way of survival, so the whole city started to move. Everyone paid attention to this man named Chen Yong, hoping to catch this bad guy as soon as possible. Of course, Chen Yong had already escaped from Hunchun at this time. Even he himself didn't know how he was ambushed or how he escaped. Everything last night was like a dream or a nightmare.
At this time, Li Yuanhong was already in Vladivostok. It was completely left to Liu Hu and Shangqiu Yuan to set up Hunchun for Chen Yong. After all, these two people were both civil and military, and together they couldn't beat Chen Yong. So they were too powerful. It's useless and it's time to replace him. However, before leaving, Li Yuanhong told Liu Hu and Shang Qiuyuan that Chen Yong could be injured, but he could not be killed, and he must leave Hunchun City alive. Only in this way can we follow Chen Yong's clue and find the instigator behind the scenes.
At this time, Li Yuanhong looked at the troops in front of him, a group of giant beasts with griffin bodies and eagle heads, and the shoulders of these griffin beasts also had five-meter-long wings. The gray-brown wings represented this kind of beast on earth. The monster that has never appeared can fly.
At this time, Wang Jingrong, who was standing next to Li Yuanhong, stared at these scary monsters with his mouth wide open. Their bodies, which were more than two meters tall, gave people a sense of oppression, as if they would pounce forward and tear people apart if they were not careful. broken. The sharp eyes like an eagle revealed a deep cold light, as if to warn these people not to approach easily.
"Li...Brother Li, what kind of monster is this?" Even Wang Jingrong, who has always been bold, couldn't help but stutter in front of these monsters.
"Haha, this is our first air force, the gryphon force." Li Yuanhong looked at this force with only five gryphons with a smile. This was the first batch of air force mass-produced by the system. From then on, he There are also people from the Air Force. However, because they are troops catalyzed by the system, their combat effectiveness is weaker than that of naturally grown griffins. However, in front of zombies without air superiority, these griffins are invincible. What are they afraid of if they are weaker? Anyway, these air forces are used to do It's not for low-level and unskilled things like hand-to-hand combat, so Li Yuanhong simply ignored this weakness.
"Can they fly?" Looking at the huge bodies of these monsters, Wang Jingrong doubted their ability to fly.
"Of course!" In order to verify that these griffins could fly, Li Yuanhong gave the flight order to the griffins. Then the five gryphons spread their wings, and with an eagle cry, a burst of dust was stirred up on the ground. Then, under the instigation of their wings, the huge body lifted off the ground and flew into the sky.
Wang Jingrong almost stared out of his eyes when he saw it. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a huge body could fly. Those griffins, after soaring into the air, flew extremely nimbly, not inferior to other birds in the sky.
Li Yuanhong gave the griffins another command, and soon, the griffins landed smoothly.
"So, these gryphons are pretty good!" Li Yuanhong was in a better mood now. With these gryphon troops, it would be easy to behead giant zombies in the future. Those zombies would never have thought that someone would attack them from the sky. After all, it is the end of the world. Finally, due to various reasons, human planes have not appeared in the sky for a long time. Even if there are helicopters, the sound is too loud. They are discovered before they can reach the giant zombies. It is impossible to attack them. . But the gryphon will not be like this. Not only is there no movement when flying, but the gryphon's claws are sharp and powerful. Although it cannot kill the giant zombie with one blow, it is absolutely no problem to catch him and carry him into the air. Therefore, using The gryphon captures giant zombies, that would be perfect. Once the zombie swarm loses the command of the giant zombie, there is nothing to fear about the zombie swarm.
"Not bad, not bad, Brother Li, do you have any extra griffins? Can you give me two?" At this time, Wang Jingrong also saw the beauty of griffins and planned to ask for a few.
"It's not possible now. There are too few of these griffins. They must be organized into an organization so that they can form combat effectiveness. But don't worry, there will be extra griffons soon, and I will definitely give you some." Li Yuanhong told Wang Jing Rong promised.
"Brother Li, we should have agreed in advance, so you don't deny it when the time comes!" Wang Jingrong quickly suppressed Li Yuanhong's promise, for fear that Li Yuanhong would regret it.
With the griffins, Li Yuanhong's offensive pace accelerated. Before completing the construction of the wall in Vladivostok and the search for nearby survivors, Li Yuanhong marched towards Shuangchengzi.
Shuangchengzi, called Ussuriysk in Russian, belonged to China in the late Qing Dynasty, but with a treaty, it was ceded. Shuangchengzi is one hundred kilometers away from Vladivostok and is an important freight node on the trade route to Vladivostok. It is also very close to the border with China, so it has become an important cargo distribution center in the Russian Far East. Moreover, the terrain here is also very special. There are the remnants of the Changbai Mountains to the west, Xingkai Lake to the north, and the Xihot Mountains to the east and a plain in the middle. It can be said that the geographical location is convenient for garrisoning troops and defense. More importantly, the population here is not large. Before the end of the world, the entire city had a population of less than 170,000, but it was extremely rich in materials. Natural resources such as tin mines, lead mines, gold mines, forest logging sites, etc., plus the metallurgical industry , making this a prosperous place in the Far East. It's a pity that the apocalypse has turned this place into a paradise for zombies. In order to solve the fuel problem, Li Yuanhong must capture this place. According to Gao Zhiyuan, this is an important crude oil transfer point before the apocalypse. If he captures this place, Li Yuanhong will not have to worry about oil shortages within two years. The oil is burned.
Li Yuanhong came to the south of Shuangchengzi. From here to Shuangchengzi, it can be said that there is a vast plain. If it is a large-scale machine battle, it will be beneficial to humans. Humans can use the mobility of modern mechanized troops to adopt kite-flying tactics against zombies, so that the zombies can only He was beaten, but it had no effect on humans. But Li Yuanhong only has a few armored vehicles in his hands now, and infantry operations mainly rely on legs to maneuver. Such troops fighting zombies on this plain are seeking death, so Li Yuanhong quickly gave up the idea of fighting zombies here. .
So Li Yuanhong rode the white tiger and started to circle around the two cities. Li Yuanhong was choosing favorable terrain to eliminate the zombies. In the end, Li Yuanhong chose the Xihot Mountains as the battlefield.
Xihot Mountain has an average altitude of 800 meters, and the mountains are long and inaccessible. When fighting zombies here, you don't have to worry about being surrounded by zombies on both sides, and there is plenty of room for maneuver. The mountainous terrain can also greatly limit the movement speed of zombies. Although the zombies have regained their mobility, their stiff legs are still a weakness for mountain climbing, and the dense forest makes it easier for Li Yuanhong to trap the zombies.
