Volume 3 Chapter 1575 The Tragic Wall
Chapter 1575 Tragic Wall
The efficiency of the evacuation at the back of the cockroach base suddenly increased. All the mobilized militiamen put down their swords and shields again, and carried supplies to evacuate across the mountain path to the rear. Tens of thousands of evacuation accidents inevitably happened, and the search brigade responsible for protecting the survivors did not do anything about it. There are too many ways, and the only way is to open the road as much as possible. As for the corpses of survivors who died due to mistakes or accidents, they become dangerous road signs.
The retreat at the rear was carried out in an atmosphere of hope and weirdness, but the battle ahead reached its climax on this day. Waves of zombies could no longer advance as smoothly as before. Hundreds of zombies were shot down by crossbow arrows every second Killed, and blocked by heavy machine guns, most of the zombies became materials to fill the gully.
The real threat to the base is not ordinary zombies. No matter how many ordinary zombies there are, they are still targets in the narrow and long mountain roads. The biggest reason why Huang Quan didn't have the confidence to resist before was the tens of thousands of Type 2 zombies in the corpse group. There are too many corpses. The base was not prepared to fight zombies before. A large number of corpses were eaten by zombies, which made ordinary zombies evolve into type 2 zombies.
Therefore, the evolved zombies that used to be high-end arms have become cannon fodder here, and type 2 zombies have become the main force of zombies. Whether it is d2 zombies or s2 zombies, they have great destructive power to troops and fortifications. Most casualties It was all caused by these zombies, and the limited ability of the troops to counterattack made them keep abandoning their positions.
Today, the type 2 zombies that could not be stopped in the past can't be saved after a few hits with enough heavy firepower. The high piles once blocked the smoothness of the mountain road.
The mountain road is blocked, but the s2 zombies cannot be blocked. They are more flexible and good at climbing. As long as they are not crowded by other zombies, they will not be easily hit by bullets. At this time, if there is no perfect way, they They can break through the tube jam at the intersection, and make the resistance in front disappear. No amount of resistance in front, no amount of effort on the hill can block the impact of the zombies.
More than a dozen mountain paths have been breached in this way. The only thing the soldiers can do is to delay the zombies' progress in the mountain path as much as possible, but this delay always changes as more and more s2 zombies appear. got shorter and shorter.
Originally planned to stick to the last pass, at that time, all the heavy machine gun bullets will be concentrated shooting, let the zombies pile up a huge mountain of corpses at the mountain pass, and then burn the corpse mountain with a fire, and then continue to shoot after the flames are extinguished , so that the time can be delayed as much as possible. As long as the ammunition is exhausted, it will be the end of the entire base. Of course, it is not necessary now. After the Yangtze River Fleet was remembered, Zhao Deyi was released, Huang Quan found confidence, and became more flexible in tactics .
Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows poured down on the heads of the zombies like a torrential rain. As long as they hit the foreheads of the zombies, none of these zombies would be spared, and they would all fall to the ground silently. Ten zombies are shredded, and the zombies can no longer be stored, and those s2-type zombies and d2-type zombies are useless even if they appear, crossbow bolts are not bullets, long arrow shafts are annoying obstacles for s2 zombies, once they are tripped by the arrow shaft , when they pause for a while, they will be pierced by more than ten crossbow arrows, not to mention d2, they are useless in the rain of 12.7mm bullets.
Today's blockade is the first time to block the surge of zombies in a real sense. On the five mountain roads, five huge piles of corpses slowly pile up, gradually forming a ten-meter-high corpse mound. At this time, most of the zombies behind the corpse mound They are all evolutionary zombies, and only these zombies can deftly climb the ten-meter-high steep corpse mound.
Suddenly, more than a dozen glass bottles containing inferior corrosion sources were thrown around the corpse mound. The next moment, these bottles were all shattered, and the shattered bottles emitted light green smoke and slowly enveloped the corpse mountain. It didn't take long, the whole corpse mound was quietly shrinking, and then the thick smoke sank to the ground as the height of the corpse mound dropped, covering the zombies behind, an amazing scene happened, after the zombies were shrouded, they would emit light green It seems that these zombies are like the poison-dispelling zombies in God of Destruction, but these green smoke are only harmful to the zombie itself.
Each zombie infected with the source of corrosion seemed to be melted by strong sulfuric acid, shrinking and collapsing in violent convulsions, and finally disappeared. The seemingly harmless green smoke seemed to be contagious. The zombies crowded together, and the green smoke flowed down The crowded zombies continued to spread to the back, no matter how many zombies were crowded together, and no matter how long the crowded road of the zombies was, the thick smoke always gradually spread back along the zombies' melting bodies.
Where the spreading green smoke passed, there was not a single zombie left behind. The mound of corpses that had been shrouded before had completely disappeared, and a huge pit appeared where it disappeared, and half of the green erosion was still accumulated in the pit. These erosion sources are constantly shrinking, and after more than half an hour, there are only a few shallow erosion sources left in the pit more than one meter deep, which looks as if they have been refined.
The soldiers held crossbow arrows or rifles in various postures, all stretched out, tilted their heads to look into the depths of the erosion source, and at the same time the word "plague" flashed in their hearts.
It is the plague, as long as the zombies are stained with a little bit of eclipse, they will immediately become a new virus source, and in the shortest time, the visible virus will be transmitted to other zombies. As long as they are touched, the zombies will be quickly killed Dissolving, just like the corpse pond formed in the gathering place before.
"Don't look stupidly, didn't you see that the color of that thing is getting lighter..., prepare, prepare for the follow-up attack, go down and get the things in the pit up for me, it depends on whether you can block the zombies ..."
It was Huang Quan who spoke. He stood in the fortifications on the top of the hill and saw from the beginning to the end. In addition to handing in twenty-five pure corrosion sources, Zhao Deyi also had a large box of inferior corrosion sources. This thing also has a weapon effect, which made Huang Quan put his best hope in the surprise.
The collapse of the zombies suddenly occurred on five fronts, and a large number of zombies and corpses were emptied at the same time. All the soldiers immediately relaxed. They pointed to the empty mountain road below and whispered to each other, proud of having such a powerful weapon on their side. Everyone is happy for this unexpected harvest, the only one who is not happy is Lu Xiaobu. He has mobilized ten armored vehicles and is preparing to launch a counterattack like a strong wind. Who would have thought that when they were ready to go, they would suddenly give them such an attack? all of a sudden?
The sudden change in the rear made the zombie sea flustered. The attack that had been going on like a frenzy these days stopped suddenly, and countless zombies were consumed in just one hour. This made the Z-shaped zombies in the corpse sea feel at a loss. At this moment, the rear of the zombie sea was suddenly attacked again.
Zhao Deyi didn't give his soldiers much time to rest. After leaving the battlefield, he kept telling his soldiers how dangerous the base was and how much the survivors looked forward to their rescue, making all the soldiers silent and tense. Gao Feng was puzzled.
He believed that Zhao Deyi's troops had persisted on the mountain for more than 20 days. After withdrawing, everyone lost at least 20 catties of flesh from top to bottom. They should not continue to fight. What they need most is to rest. Similarly, Huang Quan Thinking this way, the situation of Zhao Deyi's troops was also considered in the cockroach base, so Gao Feng's marines were allowed to attack and Zhao Deyi's troops assisted.
Zhao Deyi's actions put tremendous pressure on the soldiers below, making it impossible for them to get the best rest. When Gao Feng asked Zhao Deyi with doubts, Zhao Deyi said decisively:
"Leading troops to fight has to go all out. They have persisted for so long. Once they really relax, it will take at least three months to recover. In the past, when there was a bloody battle in the war of resistance, it was the same after the troops were withdrawn. Three months is for them. It is a mental recovery period, so they cannot be allowed to relax. They must be kept in a state of battle at all times, instill the concept of the last battle, and let them know their irreplaceable position in the final battle. Only in this way can their combat effectiveness and Morale raised to the maximum..."
The peak of Zhao Deyi's philosophy is not very understandable, but he will not object. He is willing to hand over the command and let Zhao Deyi take full command.
The five-hour drive allowed them to gather outside the cockroach base in the shortest possible time. When they reached the outer edge of the first wall, scattered zombies were scattered everywhere on the vast flat land and roads outside the wall. The cockroach base was quite deep. , can't accommodate a million zombies, not to mention at least one-third of the place is still in Huang Quan's hands.
The assembled troops did not pay too much attention to the scattered zombies. The area where the zombies spread is not small, and the actual number is not as large as imagined. The number of scattered zombies in more than ten square kilometers is no more than 20,000, which really attracts everyone's ideas. The most important thing is the towering wall.
The fence was originally the main fortification of the base, and it took a lot of materials and countless people to build it. It is wider and more majestic than the outer wall of the hot spring base. A few meters above the wall of the corpse mound, along the corpse mound, you can see countless zombies layered on top of each other to form a huge slope. Each slope is piled up with tens of thousands of zombie corpses, and there are more than multiple corpses lying around each slope. .
The outside of the entire outer wall is Shura Hell. Countless corpses are piled up one after another, spreading out within a kilometer. There are scorched marks left by the flames everywhere in the corpses, except for those that were eaten or rotten. Corpses, most of them were burned and rolled up.
In addition, there are many large or small traps and trenches filled with zombies, and the ubiquitous corpse smell spreads along the entire road along these traps that stretch for an unknown number of miles. It has long been used to it, but for the Marine Corps, it is simply a hell on earth. Many people squatted on the ground and vomited, while the soldiers of the third brigade stared straight at the wall surrounded by countless corpses.
The cloth bag in Ai Qingshan's hand slipped quietly, and rolled on the ground shaking out countless bullets. He was still scattered by these bullets at his feet, but his eyes were fixed on the countless corpses within a kilometer. The thick black-gray dust had sunk the heels of his shoes nearly halfway, and he felt uncomfortable standing on them.
"This is the bone meal that fell from the corpse after the zombie was burned. In the gathering place, it was because the bone meal of the zombie blocked the line of sight that it fell to the top of the wall. I didn't expect it to be the same here. After counting, at least three people died outside the wall here." More than 100,000 zombies..."
At some point, Zhao Deyi stepped on the soft bone meal and walked to Ai Qingshan, staring at the countless corpse mounds outside the wall with him and said in a deep voice, Ai Qingshan retracted his gaze, turned to look at Zhao Deyi with a serious face, and asked suspiciously:
"Three hundred thousand? So little? Didn't you just shoot and kill three hundred thousand zombies yesterday? They wouldn't be so useless, would they?"
Ai Qingshan used yesterday's battle results of Zhao Deyi's troops to talk about it. With such a high wall and so many anti-aircraft guns, it is possible to be easily occupied after killing less than 300,000 zombies?
"Hehe, it's not surprising. If it were my army's defense, it would probably only be able to achieve this result. It would be great if the active defense could do this. Yesterday was a coincidence. We used enough space to dodge and dodge. We are stronger than the zombies." The mobility, and... 300,000 zombies died, one less than one, there will be no endless tide of corpses..."
"you mean?"
Ai Qingshan didn't quite understand why there was such a big difference between defensive operations and active extermination? If defensive battles are not easy to fight, why do we still have to fight defensive battles? Wouldn't it be enough to take the initiative to attack and eliminate slowly like yesterday?
"You have never seen a wave of millions of corpses that is so powerful and boundless. No matter how many comrades you have around you, you will not feel any sense of security. If you have been to the sea, you will know that the tide of millions of zombies is like a violent sea. The boundless sea forms a tsunami, and everything is crushing on you. It is impossible for you to shoot at the tsunami calmly, because before you raise your gun, your heart will be filled with despair.
There is also strategic space. In front of millions of zombies, no amount of space is enough. The sea of zombies is not static. It will chase after you and make you tremble in boundless fear. There are not enough bullets, there are not enough transport vehicles, and even a hundred thousand people cannot defeat the tide of millions of zombies in the wild with only two legs.
To fight against zombies, apart from various plans and logistics, what is most needed is luck. Yesterday we were lucky, we had enough bullets, enough vehicles, enough fuel and space, and there were only so many zombies, so we They can be resolved within a few hours, if you change the time, place, or opponent, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it..."
After Zhao Deyi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Gaofeng, leaving Ai Qingshan with a pensive expression on his face. Behind him, thousands of men and women from the Third Marine Brigade looked at the tragic wall with pale faces. The girls kept retreating. At the end, a burly d2 zombie stood proudly. Beside the zombie, a girl at the height of its calf stood quietly.
