Chapter 115 Prepare for war with all your strength
When they first heard Tang Zheng say that the entire army was preparing, the people in Zhuguang City were still a little unconvinced.
Because Zhuguang City does not seem to have many troops, except for the defenders on the city wall, no other troops have been seen. At most, some engineers and people from the Public Security Department have appeared.
So when Tang Zheng said that the entire army was preparing for war, people thought it was just a slogan.
But soon, they discovered that they were wrong.
A group of troops turned out from the west side of Guyun Mountain area and rumbled towards Zhuguang City.
When the city gate was opened and this army entered the city, the city was filled with excitement.
Watching the tanks rumble forward one after another, the metal tracks grinding against the ground, making a clattering sound.
Look at the military trucks loaded with soldiers, with huge artillery behind them.
Watch the armored vehicles advance, watch the jeeps advance.
The skin of the soldiers was dark and shiny, and their clothes were not clean, but the aura of the entire army was almost explosive. At first glance, they looked like a lion fighting many battles.
It turns out that there are so many troops outside the city of Chasing Light.
Although people are prohibited from going out and are now staying indoors, they still open their windows and keep cheering for the troops entering the city.
The streets have been cleared and are now empty, and the troops' entry into the city went very smoothly.
After entering the city, the entire army immediately began intense preparations for war.
Tang Zheng still has sixty purchase quotas in his hand, which is the remaining mobile power.
Tang Zheng's original idea was to purchase a group of paratroopers as an air assault force.
But now it seems that it is not feasible. The massive zombies we face this time are all ground troops, and the paratroopers have no place to use them.
It is not possible to purchase ordinary arms such as mobilization soldiers. What the Light Chasing Army lacks now is arms with large-scale destruction.
Therefore, after research, Tang Zheng decided to purchase five artillery pieces and five 107 rocket launchers, increasing the number of these two artillery units to ten each.
Five howitzers require five combat teams of five people.
Five 107 rocket launchers also require five three-person combat groups.
Using up the forty places also cost Tang Zheng seventy-five thousand gold.
There were still twenty spots left, so Tang Zheng purchased four more Bird helicopters and four transport helicopters.
The Little Bird helicopter combat team consists of two people, and the four aircraft have eight people.
The transport helicopter combat team consists of three people, and the four aircraft have twelve people.
Altogether, there are exactly twenty people.
After spending 340,000 gold, Tang Zheng's Army Aviation Company already had ten helicopters and was beginning to take shape.
Although the combat effectiveness of the helicopters in the air battle can only be considered average, but the opponent has no air units, Tang Zheng's ten aircraft can also cause a lot of trouble to the zombies.
If the zombie leader dares to show up during the battle, Tang Zheng can let the helicopter carry out the beheading operation.ωωw..net
After spending more than 400,000 gold, Tang Zheng's entire battalion finally reached full strength, with not a single quota left.
But the quotas that are not available are human quotas. Tang Zheng can also purchase a military type, which is military dogs.
Military dogs are not very useful in front-line battles, but once zombies break through the front line, military dogs can play a role.
There are many dogs, and it has happened more than once that the licker was killed.
Tang Zheng now has seventy or eighty military dogs in his battalion, and he purchased another hundred at one time. The task of these military dogs is to patrol and guard inside the city walls.
Once zombies break through the city wall, military dogs must rush forward to fight them immediately.
After adding all the troops, Tang Zheng hurried to the arsenal.
Here in the arsenal, a large number of bullets are being manufactured continuously.
Each field company sent people over to prepare to carry the bullets back.
And Tang Zheng is not here to see bullets at this moment, he is here to produce landmines.
In addition to bullet production lines, the arsenal also has artillery shell production lines, rocket launcher production lines and mine production lines.
Tang Zheng had seen the group of corpses he faced this time many times, and the number was almost certain.
The total number of corpses arriving was approximately between 900,000 and 1 million.
Tang Zheng prefers the number one million, because this zombie king obviously has a grudge against him, and he will definitely bring as many zombies as he can, and will not give himself a chance.
If there are one million zombies, and my entire army only has 2,500 people, one person would have to kill 400 zombies to defeat this horde.
And these are not ordinary zombies. They are filled with a large number of mutant zombies and quasi-mutated zombies. One mutant zombie can even wipe out a team of survivors, which shows how difficult it is to kill.
Therefore, the most effective way is to reduce the number of zombies as much as possible.
Tang Zheng had never had the opportunity to use landmines as a weapon before, but this time he could put it to use.
In fact, after he received funds from Shuanglin, landmines have been produced here, and a total of nearly 100,000 landmines have been produced.
Under normal circumstances, the price of a mine is 2 gold.
But the arsenal has a mine production line here, which can reduce costs.
The shell of the mine can be made of iron, ceramics, stones, plastic, rubber, etc.
Of course, copper can also be used, but Tang Zheng would not use expensive copper for mines.
The cheapest plastic is the main material for making landmines this time.
After adding the main materials and gunpowder, the production cost of land mines was reduced to 0.5 gold each.
The main reason is that relatively more gunpowder is required, and in the end the cost was only reduced by 75%.
Chasing Light City has accumulated quite a lot of artillery shells and bullets in the past few days. The task tonight is to fully produce landmines.
Boxes of mines were moved out of the warehouse, and the production line was continuously producing. The finished products were quickly loaded onto trucks and transported outside the city.
The battlefields of the battle should be the South Gate and the East Gate. The South Gate should be the main battlefield of this battle because of its open terrain.
After the mines were transported out of the city, the engineering troops began to lay mines quickly.
This kind of landmines do not need to be buried underground, because even if the zombies are commanded by a leader, they cannot do the delicate work of avoiding landmines, so they only need to throw the landmines on the ground.
As soon as the arsenal built a car, the engineers threw it away.
From evening to early morning, the Light Chasing Army dropped approximately 150,000 landmines outside the city.
Most of the landmines were concentrated outside the south gate, and about 30,000 mines were also scattered near the east gate, trying to leave no blind spots.
The engineers were busy, while the soldiers of several field companies took the time to rest.
At dawn, the soldiers got up.
The cooking platoon, as well as the cooking squads of each company, got up in the middle of the night and started preparing meals.
In the past, soldiers usually returned to the inner city for meals. This time, the place for dining was under the city wall.
Even Tang Zheng has been assigned tasks for several field battles.
The South Gate Defense Area is the defense area of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th combat companies.
The east gate defense area is a continuous defense area.
The cooking squads directly under each company began to light fires and cook under the walls of their respective defense areas.
When Zhuguang City was first built, Tang Zheng had ordered that no buildings were allowed to be built within fifty meters of the city wall.
There is a ring road left here, which can be used as the outer ring of the city in normal times and as a troop transportation lane in wartime.
The driveway can lead directly to the top of the city wall, and the chariot can drive up to the top of the city wall.
At this time, large pots were placed on the driveway, and a lot of mutated animal meat was also brought out. They were simmering in the large pots, exuding an alluring aroma.
Connected to the cooking squad is the medical unit of the Zhuguang Army.
For a long time, the Chasing Light Army has had almost no combat losses, except that one soldier died during the attack on Shuanglin County. This is inseparable from the efforts of the medical troops.
Tang Zheng could imagine how brutal this battle would be, so he had the medical team ready in advance.
Temporary beds were placed one after another, and simple medical tents were set up.
Those medical soldiers who have risen to the stars can even perform surgeries on injured soldiers on the battlefield at any time.
Many medical soldiers are strong young men. Not only can they save people, they also have an important job, which is to carry stretchers.
Therefore, when Tang Zheng purchases medical soldiers, there must be a ratio of male soldiers to female soldiers. There must be men who are dedicated, and women who are attentive.
Engineers were laying mines, and after the soldiers had an early meal, they began to carry boxes of bullets to the city wall.
Each company, each platoon, and specifically each squad has its own area of responsibility for defense.
The bullets are at their feet, ready to be used during battle.
The artillery in the distance also formed an attack formation near the inner city.
Ten howitzers and ten rocket launchers, all adjusted in place.
There were also a lot of shell boxes piled up next to it. This time Tang Zheng spent a lot of money. Once he had the money, the arsenal started production at full capacity to ensure that the soldiers had enough ammunition.
It cost more than 400,000 yuan to purchase aircraft and cannons, and the current artillery shells, bullets and mines cost nearly 300,000 yuan.
Before the arsenal existed, the amount purchased this time would have almost bankrupted Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng, who had hardly slept a wink all night, arrived near the south gate early.
According to the radar map, the zombie army is still more than 20 kilometers away from Light Chaser City.
Within three hours, the army should be approaching the city.
Tang Zheng climbed onto the city wall and looked up at the sky.
The weather today is not bad, it is similar to the previous days, the sky is full of dark clouds and windy.
It's okay in the city, but the wind is even stronger when walking on the city wall.
The strong wind blew up the flag of the Light Chaser Army, making a hunting sound.
The soldiers were basically ready and were on standby in their own defense areas. When they saw Tang Zheng coming, they were all ready to salute.
Tang Zheng waved his hand and issued an order in the system. During the battle, there is no need to worry about etiquette.
After receiving the order, the soldiers all saluted the general they respected in their hearts.
Tang Zheng held the crenellations 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 all in sight, giving you a feeling of vastness and vastness.
But who could have known that such a beautiful place would soon become a battlefield.
