The cool mountain breeze blew over, blowing the flags of the Light-Chasing Army and making a roaring sound.
Tang Zheng walked on top of the city to check on the soldiers.
Under the city, the remaining two thousand ordinary zombies had been easily killed by the soldiers without even firing a cannon.
Tang Zheng walked past the soldiers and asked a random soldier: "How do you feel?"
"Reporting to the general is as easy as target practice."
"Very good, let's continue shooting."
"yes!"
After walking around for a while and seeing that there were no problems in preparing for the battle, Tang Zheng focused his attention on the incoming zombies.
Perhaps because of the lessons learned from the first wave of shelling, the zombie formations were no longer so dense this time.
Fifty thousand zombies are scattered on the plain, with a distance of about two or three meters from each other. Such a formation will undoubtedly greatly reduce the effectiveness of the bombardment.
Fighting can make people grow, and it can also make zombies grow. The zombie king opposite is also constantly improving.
The zombie group at the back is six kilometers away from Light Chaser City, which is a good distance.
Because the maximum range of the 107 rocket launcher is 85,000 meters, but in actual combat, the effect is generally best within six kilometers.
They retreated six kilometers away, and rocket launchers were still deployed in the city. It would be difficult to fight against the zombie swarms.
As for the howitzers, since there are only ten of them, it is difficult to bring much results against a group of millions of corpses, and the zombies are not afraid.
It seems that this Corpse King is also a person who knows something about military affairs. This arrangement made the defenders uncomfortable.
But Tang Zheng also saw some of the other party's weaknesses.
That is, the charging zombies have a certain distance from the large troops behind them. Once there is any change in the frontline battle, it will be difficult to support the zombies at their speed.
This is probably the effect of the shelling just now, the zombies don't dare to get too close.
With this advantage, Tang Zheng felt a little more relaxed. This was also a good thing, as this battle could still be fought.
Tang Zheng focused his attention on the incoming zombie horde, and this time Tang Zheng did not let the troops fire.
The effect of firing the cannon is not very good, so it is better to save the shells first, maybe they will be used later.
"Attention all units, when the corpse group approaches a distance of 400 meters from the city wall, all rifles will open fire."
"Attention all units..."
After conveying the message three times in a row, the entire Zhuguang Army received Tang Zheng's order.
The soldiers checked the ammunition in the gun one last time to make sure the bullets were loaded.
On the sentry tower, in the machine gun bunker, and behind the crenellations of the city wall, everyone was ready.
The group of corpses under the city wall were slowly advancing like monsters from another world.
Occasionally, sporadic mines exploded, blowing up a few zombies.
The process of advancement is slow and depressing.
one kilometer......
Eight hundred meters...
Six hundred meters...
Four hundred meters...
Seeing the corpses entering the predetermined position, Tang Zheng waved his hand.
"beat!"
Beside him, City Guard Captain Chu Xuan raised his sniper rifle and shot a tall armored man in the head!
This shot was like a starting gun, and the soldiers on the city wall opened fire almost simultaneously.
If an ordinary army faced such a massive horde of corpses, they would just fire as much as possible and hit as many as they could.
However, the formation of the zombie group was a little scattered at this moment. Tang Zheng requested that in the range of 400 meters to 200 meters, try to pursue headshots as much as possible.
Although the conscripts do not have the same marksmanship as sharpshooters, Tang Zheng's troops are basically three-star conscripts, and their marksmanship is better than that of ordinary soldiers in the regular army.
Although the distance is a bit far, the headshot rate is still maintained at about 30%.
As for the heavy machine gun soldiers, Tang Zheng did not let them fire.
Now that the zombies are scattered, the heavy machine gun's killing effect is not very good. When the zombies arrive near the city wall, they will naturally gather. That's when the main event begins.
The battle at this time was a one-sided massacre.
The mission of the soldiers is to hit the moving target.
It's just that the range is a little far, and it's not easy to get a headshot. But at this time, the light-chasing army has strong soldiers and sufficient ammunition. Every time the zombies take a step forward, they have to pay a heavy price.
Having your head explode while walking and suddenly throwing yourself into the street are the most common images nowadays.
Almost every few meters we advanced, nearly a hundred zombies were killed on the way.
But Chen Feilong doesn't care at all. His current order is for the zombies to move forward as much as possible.
He also knew that the only way to conquer this fortified city was to charge up the city wall.
And to rush up to the city wall, there is no doubt that there must be a road leading to the city wall.
Zombies don't know how to use tools and can only rely on their bodies to build their way.
Therefore, the previous losses were inevitable, and he had already been mentally prepared for this.
Gradually, the zombie group approached within a range of 200 meters.
At this distance, the zombie swarms inevitably begin to gather.
The light and heavy machine guns, which had long been unable to hold down, immediately began to roar crazily.
There are a lot of heavy machine guns in Zhuguang City. There are more than thirty machine gun bunkers here on the south gate city wall.
On the city wall, each platoon has a heavy machine gun, and each squad has a light machine gun.
The violent rain of bullets whizzed down and immediately dealt a fatal blow to the group of corpses.
Looking from a high place at this moment, because the sky is a little dark, we can clearly see the golden torrent pouring down from the city wall.
The golden torrent collided with the black corpse tide on the ground, and the black corpse tide was immediately beaten back.
But the retreat only lasted a moment. As the zombie tide approached the city wall, and with the arrival of a large group of zombies from behind, the black zombie tide moved forward against the golden torrent.
The killing efficiency at this time is much higher than the previous burst shooting of the rifle.
In the forward position of the zombies, no zombie can survive for more than ten seconds, whether it is an ordinary zombie or a mutant zombie.
The huge group of corpses relied entirely on inertia to charge with bullets.
Compared with the number of huge corpses, the number of machine guns is still too thin.
Even though all the rifles and machine guns of Light Chaser City were deployed, the zombies were still advancing at a slow speed.
"Helicopter, get on!"
Tang Zheng also understood that the zombie leader's intention was to build a road to the city wall as soon as possible.
He would not let the zombies succeed easily and immediately sent a helicopter to the scene.
After the break, the helicopter with its bullets replenished took action again.
They hovered in the area of 200 to 50 meters of the city wall, pouring bullets into the ground as much as possible.
With the help of helicopters, the progress of the zombies has slowed down a bit.
"Any jeeps, motorcycles, or all-terrain vehicles equipped with machine guns, go to the city wall!"
These fast and agile vehicles climbed the city wall along the driveway.
These vehicles also carry vehicle-mounted machine guns.
When the vehicle reached the city wall, the soldiers in the vehicle immediately stood up, set up their machine guns and fired at the bottom.
New firepower continued to be added, finally slowing down the zombie attack.
Fifty meters away from the city wall is the red line of the Light Chasing Army. The soldiers will never allow zombies to easily cross this red line. At least this wave of 50,000 zombies will never be allowed to come under the city wall.
This kind of shooting intensity makes the death of zombies particularly tragic.
Especially after dozens of vehicles climbed onto the city wall, zombies were dying in large numbers every second, and less than half of the 50,000 charge troops remained.
Fierce gunfire echoed across the plains and reached thousands of households in the Northern Territory through radio waves.
...
At the alliance headquarters, radio equipment is placed on Xie Jinshan's desk.
All twelve members of the Alliance Parliament were present, listening to the battle situation on the front lines of Light Chaser City.
Fierce gunshots and little Dili's urgent voice kept coming from the radio waves.
"This is Chasing Light City. This is Chasing Light City. I am Xiao Dili. I am bringing you front-line battle reports from the city wall."
"The battle has now entered a fierce state, and a large number of zombies have been killed within an area of 200 to 50 meters near the city wall."
"According to provisional statistics, the cumulative number of zombies annihilated by the Light Chasing Army has now exceeded 100,000."
"I can hardly hear other sounds here. There are gunshots everywhere, and my eardrums are ringing."
"The zombies in the distance are moving again. It seems that another group of zombies is about to enter the battlefield."
"But it seems that our soldiers are still able to handle it with ease. The zombies paid a price of hundreds of thousands, but they still couldn't get close to the city wall..."
A sudden sound of vehicles came from the radio wave, and Little Dili seemed to turn around.
Then, violent gunshots came from the radio, like exploding beans.
Lian Na stepped forward and turned down the radio volume a little.
"Speaker, it looks like the Light Chasing Army is doing well."
Xie Jinshan nodded slightly: "It was indeed a good fight. All of us underestimated Tang Zheng. No one thought that he was hidden so deeply. Not only did he hide a large number of troops, he even hid aircraft and artillery. At this time, only
Taking it out, not only did it surprise us, but the leader of the zombies was probably so distressed that he was bleeding."
Li Wang was also humming next to him: "The useless zombies have sacrificed hundreds of thousands and they can't even get close to the city wall. If this continues, won't the entire army be wiped out and the city of Chasing Light be unable to be shaken."
The remaining council members also showed worried expressions.
If there is anyone in the Northern Territory who doesn't want Tang Zheng to win, it might be these people in the alliance.
Because once Tang Zheng wins, his reputation in this land will reach a height that no one else can reach. Not to mention other survivors, it is estimated that there will be people in the alliance who will settle in Zhuguang City.
On the contrary, the alliance itself will be the biggest victim, and its reputation will fall to the bottom.
In their minds, Light Chaser City was annihilated by zombies, and then the zombies also suffered heavy losses. The best choice would be for the alliance to come forward to clean up the mess.
Now that they see the Light Chasing Army playing so well, they are a little hard to accept it.
Only Xie Jinshan smiled and waved his hand: "You are a little too worried. I think it will be difficult for the Light Chasing Army to persist until tomorrow."
"Speaker, are you miscalculating? It's already past six o'clock. I guess the battle will be about eight o'clock...Ah! Wait...you mean?"
Halfway through speaking, Lian Na suddenly realized something.
Xie Jinshan smiled confidently: "Yes, inertial thinking has made you make a mistake. Zombies are not human beings. They become more active at night, while humans are the opposite. Not only will they be more tired at night, they will also be more active.
The main thing is that you can't see anything. If Tang Zheng is not prepared enough, tonight, Zhuangguang City will be destroyed."
