Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 342 The sound of rushing water

Lijiang City, originally should be called Lijiang County, so named because Lijiang River passes through the county seat.

The reason why the county was actually changed to a city and became a second-tier city was the Lijiang Hydropower Station that was built. It relied on the construction of a series of facilities at the Lijiang Hydropower Station and the entire five-year project as a springboard.

Vigorous efforts were made to attract investment and successfully promote economic development.

By the time the construction of the Lijiang Hydropower Station was completed, it took five years to lay the foundation for Lijiang County at that time. With the Lijiang Hydropower Station providing opportunities for several cities, and with the advent of good policies at that time, it was like a spring breeze.

However, the entire Lijiang County once again burst into new economic prosperity, and eventually became a prefecture-level city. After another ten years of development, it became a second-tier city and became a member of urban legend.

It is a pity that Lijiang, which nurtured the Lijiang people, is still there, but the people who are Lijiang people have disappeared from this earth forever and become zombies. Although they still live in Lijiang City and Lijiang area, this is no longer the case.

It was a year and a half after the end of the world that the Lijiang Hydropower Station began to shut down and stop power supply, and finally stopped the power supply in several cities, including Qingyuan City and Yuanshan City.

Without maintenance for about six years, the equipment began to have various problems. A large number of high-voltage transmission lines were destroyed and collapsed under the power of nature. At first, Zhou Yuanqiang also thought about airdropping the Lijiang Hydropower Station to repair it and put it into use. However,

However, problems arose in large areas of the plateau transmission network, the repair costs were too high, and the transmission lines were too long, so we finally gave up.

The entire tank division, with 432 tanks and nearly 100,000 soldiers advancing behind it, was like overwhelming the enemy, fighting from Yuanshan City to Lijiang City, with a distance of 120 kilometers in between, and a large number of villages and small towns fell to the ground.

Under the promotion of.

The county towns, small towns, and villages built on the highways were attacked by tanks and massively attacked by the infantry behind them. They were run over by the army with almost no obstruction, and the rest were knocked down one by one.

There are zombie corpses on the streets, in ditches, and between floors.

The army will not harvest the crystals from the zombies' heads. Naturally, there will be logistics troops to take care of all this.

Lijiang can become a construction site for large-scale hydropower stations. Its water source is sufficient and can guarantee all the standards of hydropower stations. In recent years, humans have stopped destroying nature and have made water sources more abundant. The entire Lijiang River, which was originally somewhat turbid, has returned to its clear and clear appearance.

The scene at the bottom.

After the ground troops arrived, several fighter planes flew away like soldiers standing on the last duty after delivering their posts.

The entire city of Lijiang was bathed in the sunset. The war did not destroy the place too much. There were only a few thick wisps of smoke billowing out of the whole city, and more were small streams of blue smoke. As long as anyone with experience could

You know, large thick smoke means that areas must be densely populated with zombies, or there are important levels of zombies, so they will be subject to special bombings. Small puffs of blue smoke represent some of the buildings involved when bombing the streets.

Smoke remains.

No matter what, the Air Force, as the leading force, has basically eliminated most of the zombies for the ground forces, which plays an immeasurable role in enabling the ground forces to quickly regain the city.

It was sunset at this time, and the tank troops stopped on the Lijiang Bridge. After sending testers to determine the weight that the bridge could bear, the troops continued to move forward. After crossing the Lijiang Bridge, it was connected to Lijiang City

Some residential buildings extend along the highway to the suburbs of Lijiang City.

The roar of the tank troops could not be hidden from the agile zombies. As early as when they were crossing the bridge, the zombies who had not been bombarded much outside began to surround them.

The tank troops led by Hou Yingqiang had to deal with zombies a lot along the way. Many times, zombies would appear in the villages and small towns they passed. At the beginning, the tank troops were a little patient with them.

After playing, I didn't even have the slightest interest in them. I just used machine guns to shoot them, cripple them, let them roll on the ground, and then drove the tank over them, and everything became quiet again.

Nowadays, the zombies that are pouring out are dozens at first, then hundreds, then thousands, and finally they are all connected in a dense black mass, and there are at least tens of thousands of them.

It was getting close to night and it was impossible to attack Lijiang City. We could only camp here and wait for dawn tomorrow. While there was still light in the sky, Hou Yingqiang directly issued the order to attack.

There are more than 400 tanks on this road, at most four tanks side by side. On the entire road, once the tanks are parked, they seem to be out of sight, like giant beasts approaching in the dark. But for the tanks squeezed up from the road

Zombies and four tanks side by side are enough to trigger a metal storm.

Facing zombies that are getting closer and closer, the tank's main gun can reach a maximum distance of 25 kilometers, and can attack targets 2 kilometers away. However, the closest attack distance depends on your combat method.

Like now, the four tanks in the front row lowered their gun barrels to the lowest position. After Hou Yingqiang's order was given, the tank commander gave the order to fire with almost no hesitation.

Four orange-red flames appeared, and thick smoke was sprayed from the barrel. Under the compression of the explosion, the shell rushed out of the barrel and plunged directly into the zombies hundreds of meters away.

The terrifying flat shot, combined with the powerful impact, almost knocked over the zombies along the way, and finally penetrated into the densest group and exploded.

It's like the most terrifying meat grinder in the world. The power of the explosion is like tofu dregs for ordinary zombies, which have been walking for seven years and are like skeletons.

The overpressure of the explosion and the sweeping shock wave directly emptied a vacuum zone several meters in diameter.

The Rhino tank, which has an ammunition base of 45 rounds, has a rate of fire of 11 rounds per minute under the automatic loader. Four tanks are blocking the road, almost like four killing gods. Quickly load the ammunition, allowing the four tanks to

Maintaining strong firepower. With the lowered gun barrel, every time it spits out tongues of flame, it always means that at least dozens of zombies will fall in the explosion.

The 7.62mm parallel machine gun, in the crazy strafing, beat the zombies who were lucky enough to escape the shells, sending their limbs flying everywhere.

The number of tens of thousands of zombies seems to be incomparable to hundreds of millions, but when spread out on this road, it is so dark that it is impossible to see the end.

The four tanks almost ran out of ammunition and killed only one-third of the zombies. As soon as the ammunition was exhausted, the four tanks immediately turned a corner amidst the roar of their engines.

He rushed to the side of the road, smashed the houses on the road, and the whole tank sank in, making way for the tank behind him.

Under this tactic, when the third round of tanks was about to run out of ammunition, there was not a single complete zombie on the entire road.

The tank troops drove directly through this pitted area again. The crippled zombies on the ground were run over by the tanks while crawling, turning into debris on the ground, leaving only the traces of tanks carrying liquid, and then they were crushed behind them.

The tanks that followed ran over these car tracks, destroying all the damage until no trace of zombies could be seen anymore.

When the last rays of the setting sun fell and the entire land began to fade into darkness, the tank troops finally found a place to camp in a huge suburban cargo yard.

In order to cooperate with the ground troops, the tank troops can be said to be stop-and-go, covering more than 40 kilometers every day. The 120 kilometers, which originally took two hours, now took three days. Fortunately, it is not necessary to deal with zombies.

It's the same as dealing with human enemies, what kind of fighter planes are there, what kind of tactics are deployed, and when is the time of emergency.

Zombies will not escape. No matter how strong the attack is, they will stay in the city and wait foolishly for humans to come.

After four or five days of camp experience, as soon as the tank troops stopped to rest, each tank brigade began to organize a defensive formation according to their responsibilities, using tanks to surround the temporary camp. And the transport airships were always following in the sky.

, after the camp was stabilized, it dropped from the night sky to resupply the tanks and bring food and water to the soldiers.

The five transport airships, with their huge carrying capacity, allowed them to provide logistical supplies for the entire tank force for five days. Finally, after this supply was completed, they returned to Qingyuan City overnight. At their speed, they would be able to complete the logistics in six days.

Arrive at the headquarters an hour later. After replenishing enough supplies, they will rush to Lijiang City overnight and appear above the tank troops in the early morning.

The night finally became quiet as the tanks turned off one after another.

After a tiring day, the tank crews, except for those on guard duty, all had a quick dinner and slept soundly in the tents in the temporary camp.

In Hou Yingqiang's command tent, while the soldiers were resting, he couldn't rest yet. He was going to attack Lijiang City early in the morning. He needed to formulate a battle plan. He also had to assign tasks to his tank brigade and mark each street with who was responsible for it.

He will take the lead, and when the time comes, he will pass these combat plans to the infantry group army behind him. With the cooperation of both parties, they will sweep across the entire Lijiang City.

After the air force's indiscriminate bombing, most of the zombies in Lijiang City were eliminated, and the recapture of the second city was a certainty.

The terrain of Lijiang City is completely opposite to that of the wilderness. The terrain here is not flat due to the mountains and forests. The weather is a bit cold in March. Especially because it is close to the south and the characteristic weather of Jiangnan misty rain, it always lasts three days here.

It was drizzling on both sides. Especially in the past few days, it was almost always cloudy, and it would rain at night, which caused great trouble to the camp.

After the plan was completed and the ground command headquarters following him was notified by radio, Hou Yingqiang rubbed his sore neck and walked outside the tent. A gust of cold wind blew and he shivered for the whole time. He endured the cold

I looked at the sky, but there was not a single star. It was covered with dark clouds, and I was afraid it was going to rain again.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, drizzle started to fall, and even if I was hiding in bed, I could still feel the cold.

In the early morning, there was heavy fog, and the entire visual distance was less than ten meters. In this early morning with poor visibility, not to mention the infantry, even the tank troops did not dare to move. In weather like this

, it is basically the most advantageous time for the zombies to fight. They can rely on the heavy fog to get closer.

To march and strike, one must have a thorough knowledge of the local terrain and climate.

However, the particularity of the end of the world, when you feel that nothing can threaten you, such a favorable time and place has long been thrown into the trash can. In the opinion of more and more people, as long as the zombies are killed,

It is a contribution to mankind. Didn’t Mr. Deng say it? White cats and black cats, the one that pounces on mice is a good cat.

So the tank troops drove over with a bang. In their opinion, after being baptized by the air force, there were not many zombies left in the city, and it was impossible to threaten the steel behemoths like the tank troops. Moreover, there were reconnaissance airships overhead.

Follow the reconnaissance, and it is almost impossible for zombies to get close.

I have never encountered such heavy fog, which is very new to most tank soldiers.

Originally, Hou Yingqiang thought that it would be like a heavy fog, which would last for half an hour, or at most an hour. As soon as the sun rose, it would dissipate. But things were a bit beyond his expectation. The time had already passed by seven o'clock.

By 8:30, the fog showed no sign of dissipating. Instead, it became even thicker, and the visibility was only a mere five meters.

"Why is there such a heavy fog?"

Not only Hou Yingqiang could not understand this problem, but also generals at all levels had never seen such a rare heavy fog for the first time.

Although the Chamber of Commerce's communication satellite is under research, with the existence of communication airships, communication can still be kept open by using the method of relay transmission. In this case, of course, the only way to turn to the Chamber of Commerce is to confirm it through spy satellites

The area covered by heavy fog.

The satellite receiving station quickly sent the satellite pictures to Hou Yingqiang. In the entire area shown in the picture, the entire fog actually covered most of the Lijiang area. It can be said to be a huge and monstrous fog.

Staying in the tent, the cold air hit, making people feel somewhat chilly. But facing the small space of the tank, no one wanted to stay inside.

Hou Yingqiang stayed in the command tent, looking at last night's battle plan, and said to the staff accompanying the team: "It seems that our battle plan this morning can only be implemented after this heavy fog passes.

.Hey, given the weather in our wilderness, this heavy fog would have been dispersed by the rising sun before seven o'clock."

The staff officer is a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with a somewhat thin face. Like most people, he suffers from insufficient nutrition for a long time. Even a tough man will lose weight to the point of skin and bones in a few years. Lu Youqing has a very broad mind.

, is the reason why he became the staff officer of the tank unit.

After hearing what Hou Yingqiang said, Lu Youqing said: "Commander, the climate here is close to the south, which conflicts with the weather in our wilderness. This is the cause of the heavy fog. When the sun rises, it will be fine. But we'd better take precautions."

Be prepared, under heavy fog, visibility is extremely low, we must not be careless."

Hou Yingqiang was also worried. He always felt that under this heavy fog, people were a little uneasy. After the order was given for all personnel to enter combat mode, this uneasiness was somewhat relieved.

As the only tank division in the hands of the Southern Front, its organization is different from previous countries. It has a total of four tank regiments, but it is not equipped with an armored infantry regiment, nor is it equipped with an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, or a directly administered reconnaissance battalion.

Chemical defense battalion, anti-tank battalion, repair battalion, transportation battalion, etc., a very simple four tank regiments, a total of 432 tanks.

The number of tanks is one more than the normal three tank regiments. The other equipped regiments were naturally canceled without armored opponents. The reconnaissance battalion was replaced by the reconnaissance airship in the sky.

Repairs, transportation, etc. are handled by five transport airships in the sky.

The particularity of the end of the world makes it impossible for the organization of the army to be based on the organization of the previous world, and will undergo great changes.

The tank division, also generally called the armored division, was too hasty and the armor manufacturing plant had to be distracted from manufacturing super aircraft carriers. Therefore, in eight months, only two tanks of the tank division were manufactured.

Although the production of tanks doubled after the completion of the super aircraft carrier, it had little effect on the reconquest war at this time.

The population of the Chamber of Commerce and tanks will only be maintained at 5 tank divisions, which is 2,200 tanks.

However, the existence of intelligent systems has begun to liberate a large number of labor forces, and the entire chamber of commerce has shifted to a higher level of intelligence. Therefore, the armor manufacturing factory is already working on the development of the second-generation intelligent processing of the Rhino tank, which will replace the soldier-oriented and enter the

Intelligent combat. At the same time, new armored robots, which are armored forces that are more adaptable to terrain, are also being researched.

Not only armor manufacturing plants, but also aircraft manufacturing plants have also begun to implement smart aircraft plans.

In Chen Wenbo's words, if the Chamber of Commerce wants to break through the population bottleneck and increase military strength, it must rely on a large number of intelligent means to reduce combatants, increase the expansion of intelligent production lines in manufacturing plants, and release a larger labor force to allow more

Many people are participating in positions that cannot be completed by intelligent systems.

In fact, the Chamber of Commerce is already doing this, but it is impossible to replace them all at once, but to complete it step by step.

As for the Special Fighter Factory, as the most mysterious factory in the Chamber of Commerce, no one can know what they are tinkering with, but it is certain that the Special Fighter Factory involves the application of super engines. Only a few clues are known.

Everyone will understand that a fighter jet that can use a super crystalline reaction engine is definitely a giant in the sky, but what can it be?

At this time, it is impossible to enter the true core of Colonel Yingqiang's identity, and there is no way to know it.

At just after nine o'clock, the fog began to show signs of dispersing, but the strong uneasiness did not dissipate because the fog was about to recede, but instead became more intense. Especially in Lijiang where the sound of running water could be heard faintly.

, the water suddenly made a "swishing" sound, as if something was crawling from the water to the ground.

What's even more terrifying is that this sound appears on a large scale, as if a large number of things are landing on the land from the Li River.
