doomsday lamb

Today is the third day of the siege. The sunset is as red as blood. The warm glow penetrates the thin black fog and shines on everyone's face, reflecting the tired and haggard faces.

Although the sunshine is warm, it is not as cold as the cold wind. Shashi Fengwei Mountain is located deep in North China. In winter, the temperature drops sharply at night, and people cannot stay outside for too long. However, the two-shift rotation of the battle will increase the firepower. If you surrender, the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, for the people defending the city of Langya City, every night will be a difficult stage.

The city wall outside Langya City is in the shape of a zigzag line, with three corners folded into the city and four corners protruding from the city wall, like a single row of staggered wolf fangs. However, the angle of the fold line is gentler, with one obtuse edge after another. At the same time, There are three bastions protruding outwards outside the city wall, located at three inwardly folded corners. The largest one in the center is Bastion No. 1, and the west and east sides are Bastion No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

This is a section of the city wall between Bastion No. 1 and Bastion No. 3. There are 700 people stationed on this edge less than a hundred meters long. Looking around, they are all soldiers sitting under the battlements to rest step by step. Some were wearing military uniforms, while most were wrapped in their own various coats and sat silently.

"Hot porridge, hot porridge... After drinking, it's time to change the guard..."

"Give me a bowl." "I want it too."

The sun was about to set, and at this time a cook was pushing a cart. He was wearing an apron, and although it was white, it was too dirty to be seen. He walked very hard, and the cart was loaded with three large iron buckets, which were heavy. The cart creaked and creaked. There were two soldiers armed with pistols accompanying the cook to prevent riots. If anyone was afraid of fighting, they were also the supervising team to execute the execution at any time.

The cook filled a large spoon with hot porridge for the soldiers on duty and asked casually: "Sanxi, didn't you just drink a bowl?"

He has been responsible for delivering meals here for several days, and Sanxi is the leader of one of the teams, so the two of them are relatively familiar with each other.

"We are all on the battlefield, so naturally we need to drink one more bowl." Sanxi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked a little sad, "Maybe... it will be the last bowl."

"Don't be discouraged, there are so many of us." The cook patted Sanxi's shoulder to comfort him, "You should also go and have a rest. I have seen you on duty several times when I came up."

"I'll be on duty again until daybreak, otherwise I won't be able to leave without worry."

Hearing Sanxi's reply, the cook shook his head and said nothing more, then pushed the cart towards the next person who wanted to drink porridge.

Behind him, Sanxi used the light from the city tower to look at the porcelain bowl in her hand and the hot soup in her hands. There was steaming soup in the soup, and there was also a face. It was a man with disheveled hair. , People with sunken eye sockets and bloodshot eyeballs.

It's more like a ghost than a human being, like a lonely ghost. This appearance simply frightened Sanxi. His hand trembled, the water rippled, and the stranger-like face was distorted. , blurred, almost dissipated. After a while, Sanxi gritted his teeth, raised his neck like a heroic sacrifice, and drank the hot soup in the bowl in one gulp.

Suddenly, loudspeakers placed a hundred meters apart on the city walls rang out shrill and shrill sirens one after another. The low-frequency sound seemed to have magic power, and all the soldiers who heard the sirens could not help but shudder.

They stood on the top of the wall and looked outside the city. They saw at the edge of the Fengwei Mountain jungle in the distance, a huge crowd of black corpses rushing out of the jungle at the same time, as if they had made an appointment.

The zombies are about to attack the city!

The waves crashed against the rocks. Although this experience had happened more than once, the tense atmosphere quickly spread among the team.

"It's bad! The black corpse is coming up!"

"The zombies are attacking, prepare to defend!" There was a squad leader in the crowd to maintain order.

"Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up!"

"Stop the changing of the guard, stop the changing of the guard! All combatants return to their posts immediately!"

"We need a box of grenades here!"

"Team Three, Team Three doesn't have enough people."

"Shield soldiers, two more shield soldiers."

People were screaming and running, and the sound was like a handful of water being poured into a pan. Sanxi stood up at this time and handed the porcelain bowl back to the cook who hurried down the tower. He took a deep breath and faced the people around him.

Several people in the group explained: "I can't go down anymore. I'll wait until this wave of black corpses is defeated before I change my guard and rest."

"Brother Sanxi, I'm coming with you."

"Captain, let's fight together."

In every siege, the defenders sacrificed their lives. It takes courage to dare to stay.

"Okay! All four teams are doing well!"

Sanxi looked at one of the young men and thought that he might not be older than the sacrificed Xiaoliang. Sanxi's eyes suddenly turned red, and a fire suddenly lit up in his heart. He looked at the group of people and asked, "Are you all full?"

"Drink enough!"

"Okay, take it when you're full

Get your gun and fight these beasts with me!"

"yes!"

…

At this time, on the nearby No. 3 Bastion, Xing Wutian was standing on the wall looking worried.

He knew these soldiers and knew that several of them were survivors of the previous first line of defense, and some were even the only surviving members of the rifle class. Many of them were injured, but they did not take long to repair after they were withdrawn.

, and was taken to the battlefield again.

In war, soldiers die quickly and are promoted quickly. Those like Sanxi, who have experienced the test of life and death, can now stand alone and organize a small team to defend a small section of the city wall. The young man is full of blood, and although he has experienced death threats, his fighting spirit is still high.

The soldiers in his hands are a mixed bag. In addition to the soldiers originally stationed on the first and second lines of defense, there are a large proportion of ordinary survivors. Some of the latter have just arrived at the base, and some have never been out fighting with the army.

Therefore, the preparation speed among different groups varies. Often some people are ready while others are still arguing.

Since Lin Wenjin and Duan Hei led the team back yesterday afternoon, the defense task of No. 1 Bastion has been handed over to them. Xing Wutian and Wu Ke led people to guard No. 3 Bastion, and Cao Liang and others from the Autonomous Association

Then stay on standby at No. 2 Bastion.

"Attention on the front line, attention on the front line. Prepare the bastion defense line. Each long-range firepower point fires on its own. Rifle squad on the edge defense line, wait for the corpses to enter the shooting range. Repeat, bastion defense line..."

“Bastion No. 1 received it.” “Bastion No. 2 received it.” “Bastion No. 3 received it.”…

Nine heavy artillery pieces were lined up in the open space on the outer city military exercise field. Chen Hui was ordered to lead 20 people to guard here.

"Report to instructor, preparations for shooting have been completed."

"Okay! Everyone pay attention, three, two, one, release!"

In the public channel, Chen Hui's voice was deep and powerful, and an explosion immediately sounded in the outer city.

“Bang bang bang!”

As the sound of the gun sounded, the gun barrel shook violently, and a yellow flame the same length as the gun barrel appeared around it. The flame was dispersed in an instant, and then a white smoke appeared along the barrel. That was

The human eye cannot capture the launch trajectory of the artillery shell. We can only see that its powerful recoil caused the entire heavy artillery frame to hit the ground, shaking up a piece of floating soil.

Hearing the sound, Lin Wenjin and Duan Hei from the No. 1 Bastion said in unison: "Howitzer."

In just one second, there were two violent explosions in the center of the corpse tide. Yellow fire shot into the sky, gray gunpowder smoke spread everywhere, and black earth and stone rubble all flew into the air. There seemed to be some flying and throwing up in the dust mist.

The objects looked like they belonged to people. When the smoke cleared, two large craters with a diameter of 30 meters appeared on the ground. The shock wave and fragments caused effective damage to targets within at least 50 meters, and black corpses within a hundred meters range

Falling down.

"Good job!" Xiao Heizi stood on the wall, clenching his fists and cheering.

"Don't be too happy too soon." Lin Wenjin shook his head, "Look!"

Looking in the direction of his arm, I saw that the remaining corpse tide quickly filled these explosion craters. Whether it was the remains of corpses or the fallen companions, they were all trampled under their feet and trampled over.

.

Duan Hei couldn't help but shudder, these guys were like a group of marching ants, as if nothing could stop their progress!

"Fu Lianhe, damage effect assessment." Chen Hui urged on the radio.

"The radar is capturing the explosion point," Fu Lianhe looked at the data on the computer and quickly assessed, "1% of the corpse group was hit. After being blocked, its movement slowed down. It is expected to arrive under the city wall in 10 minutes and 30 seconds."

"Why is it only 30 seconds late? No, fight again!"

"Instructor, our ammunition is limited." The soldier next to him hesitated.

"Don't you see the scale of this siege?" Chen Hui said with his eyes widened, "The black corpses are likely to be out in force this time. Fight me! If you can't survive this attack, everything is nonsense!"

"yes."

"The artillery team listened to the order and aimed and fired on its own. Each team left three bases, and I fired the rest!"

Among these people, only Chen Hui understood best. At this time, only by taking the initiative to disrupt the offensive posture of the zombie tide, the pressure on the front line could be reduced.

Anyway, there are black corpses everywhere now, and there is no need to consider the hit rate of the parabolic projectiles. As long as the number of black corpses can be further consumed, it doesn't matter if the shells are used up.

A moment later, nine heavy artillery launched fire strikes at the same time. One shell after another was fully sprayed in the corpse tide, but it soon returned to calm like water. The scale of the corpse tide this time was really too large and scattered.

The 120mm grenade was like a small pebble when it fell into the tide of corpses, unable to lift the big Lang Hua.

Looking at the images sent back by Fu Lianhe, Chen Hui became anxious.

"No," he slapped his thigh and hurriedly ordered, "Each team adjusted its elements and aimed at the middle of the corpse wave. Today, even if I empty my family's fortune, I will cut off its 'small waist'!"

"Boom boom boom——"

The howitzers concentrated their fire, forming a sea of ​​​​fire in the middle of the corpse wave.

At the same time, two tanks lying in ambush outside the city suddenly appeared. They drove out of the hiding spots on both sides and came to the center of the zombie attack. The turret rotated and aimed at the oncoming corpse group, and then

It's just a cannonball fired flatly.

The fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile equipped on the ZTZ-30A tank has an extremely high penetration depth and can penetrate 1-meter-thick homogeneous armor at a distance of 2,000 meters. Once the armor-piercing projectile is fired, it is like a hot knife inserted into butter.

A fifty-meter-long trench was dug in the tide, and wherever it went the black corpses' limbs disintegrated, causing countless casualties.

"here you go!"

The direct-aiming effect of the tank cannon was so good that Fu Lianhe from the headquarters couldn't help but applaud. He knew that the outer city wall was tall and thick, and it was impossible for tanks to sit inside the city like artillery and carry out firepower against the zombies outside the city. Moreover, direct-aiming weapons had always been used.

The range is relatively short, so it can only be effective if it is placed on the attack route of the zombie wave outside the city, but this is also risky.

The fighting lasted for three days, and the flat grass surface was now paved with a layer of loess. Smoke, broken wood, and flesh and blood debris were everywhere. On the broken ground, two tanks wearing jungle camouflage were lined up side by side, forming two armored fortresses.

At the same time, two automatic loaders pulled the chain, loaded 125 mm caliber shells and opened fire in unison.

The two tanks continued to output armor-piercing shells and sub-loaded high-explosive shells. The hard cores of the armor-piercing shells and the explosives of the high-explosive shells continued to kill the vanguard of the zombie wave. It looked like they ran up to die on their own.

However, the crew did not relax their vigilance. Although their bombardment was very effective, as time passed, the tide of corpses got closer and closer to them. Xiao Zheng, who was responsible for the maneuver of the No. 1 tank, was breathing more and more heavily, and his forehead

It was already covered with sweat.

"Captain, are you leaving?"

"Wait a minute, fire again!" Shen Quan, commander of the No. 1 tank, stopped him.

"Bang bang." "Boom boom——"

Just as tanks and heavy artillery were attacking like crazy, several pools of slime suddenly fell from the air, corroding the grass and turning it black as soon as it hit the ground.

.

The expressions of all the crew members changed when they saw it, and they all shouted in unison: "Spit out the black corpses!"

"Captain! What should I do?"

"Quickly retreat, Commander."

"No," Chen Quan gritted his teeth and said, "Listen to me and move forward!"

"Captain?" The driver seemed to think he heard wrongly.

But Shen Quan ignored the exclamations of the team members and ordered: "Hurry, now!"

"yes!"

In just seven seconds, the 30A tank had just advanced five meters when they saw the corrosive slime flying over the top of the tank and landing on the grass behind them. They narrowly avoided it.

"Captain, you are so amazing!"

"Stop flattering us," Shen Quan said with an air of dignity on his face, but he still refused to relax. "Hurry up and adjust the direction and keep maneuvering. We can't stop where we are."

"Not good! The tank of the second group was hit by water."

On the other side, the No. 2 tank had been hit. Thick yellow-green liquid was sprinkled on the turret on the roof, and white smoke soon began to rise.

Fu Lianhe, who was at the headquarters, also observed this scene through a drone. He was shocked and immediately grabbed the microphone and shouted: "Quickly withdraw! Inform the vehicle crew to withdraw to the base."

"Group 1 received," Chen Liang held a headset and called, "Call Group 2, is there something wrong with your tracks?"

Two seconds later, the other side replied: "No, the tracks are intact." The voice sounded a little panicked.

"That's OK." Chen Liang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly sent a message: "Now listen to me. The two tanks will take the outer route back to the base. Every 50 meters they travel, the parking space will move 5 meters to the outside. Now.

Let’s start at a fast pace, with the second group in front and we’ll cover.”

"receive."

During the movement, Tank No. 1 did not forget to turn the turret to face the rear and fire a shell from time to time to block the enemy.

"Raise the angle of fire for me. Ask the headquarters where these clusters of black zombies are located."

"Commander, the command center has responded, it is two kilometers directly behind us."

"Fuck him! Let's run away after one shot."

Although the tank is a direct-aiming weapon, it also has a shooting elevation of 20 degrees, which is expected to be enough.

"Commander, you are using the tank as a self-propelled artillery."

"Stop talking nonsense, when it comes to cross-country mobility, I was number one during the military exercises!"
