Chapter 118 Appearance
Lu Changhong's judgment was correct at all. After the first wave of impact failed, the corpse tide no longer rushed to Linshan City along the road, but turned around and came towards the defensive positions on each hill.
Position defense warfare is a key subject for Yan Jie's training. Therefore, in the face of this situation, Lu Changhong was prepared and quickly issued an order-
"Order all companies and platoons to join the battle in batches! Also, continue to dig tunnels and keep the contact tunnels open!"
The messenger took action and sent Lu Changhong's instructions to each company. Soon the Second Battalion made adjustments, and the soldiers were in place and could enter the battle at any time.
The zombie's movement was not fast at first, and it was attacking again at this time, so the progress was even more unsatisfactory.
However, no matter how slow the time is, it cannot withstand the large number. Looking around, zombies are roaring around the mountains. If they are new recruits, they can be scared to death just by watching this scene. How can they have the courage to fight?
Fortunately, the previous round of attacks greatly weakened the soldiers' fear of the corpse. Although this scene was still terrifying, it was somewhat immune to avoid being scared.
Under the command of Lu Changhong, the commanding heights on both sides of the position were the first to open fire.
The weapons at the commanding heights are not rifles, but heavy machine guns, which were made specifically for defense operations by Yan Jie.
Due to the complex process of heavy machine guns, only seven were built during this period, all of which were equipped to the three battalions before. Due to the mistakes in the exercise, the second battalion was assigned only two heavy machine guns.
When deploying the position, Lu Changhong deliberately placed the two heavy machine guns on the commanding heights on both sides to form cross-fire. As soon as the two heavy machine guns fired, they immediately received miraculous effects. The corpses at the foot of the mountain fell down in pieces and were cleared out of a large open space. No matter how the corpses rushed over, they could never break through the fire blockade of the heavy machine guns.
The firepower of heavy machine guns is really fierce. They not only shoot very fast, but also have extremely powerful power. Often, one bullet can smash four or five zombies. When corpses attack upwards, they always adopt dense formations, which is no different from queuing up to death.
Lu Changhong also arranged two platoons of soldiers to shoot out the fish that occasionally break through the blockade. Although there were many corpses, it would be useless to not rush to the position.
"This heavy machine gun is really a good thing, but the ammunition is consumed too hard. The messenger told Liu Da Si to not be timid and call him to a place where the corpse is dense! Let him save me some ammunition, and our supplies will not be available the day after tomorrow!"
The corpse tide attacked for an hour, but it was still unable to shake the defense lines of the three battalions, and had to leave wreckage everywhere and retreat.
This is a completely battle between steel weapons and flesh and blood, and the result is no suspense. If the opponent continues to use this corpse sea tactic, there will be no chance of winning in another year!
After this battle, the soldiers no longer feared the zombies. Lu Changhong was on a whim and deliberately counterattacked several times in defense, caught more than a dozen zombies that could still move, tied them with ropes, and sent them back to the city to show their public.
The scene of this defensive battle was immediately teleported to Linshan City through the crystal screen. Yan Jie specially asked County Magistrate Zhu to invite all the heads of the five major families over. Everyone looked stunned. Bai Yan was even more shocked and could not even speak.
The zombies were really knocked back, and in such an easy way.
It was not until this moment that the five heads of the family, including Qian Jue, truly realized the value of the rifle. Its appearance means the rewriting of the rules of war!
"Everyone! From these battle scenes, we can see that there is indeed someone behind the corpse group. Although the manipulator has not shown up, I believe that he has been observing all this! Although the attack of the corpse tide was frustrated, he would not give up like this and would definitely make a comeback. In this battle, we have the upper hand only to attack him without any preparation. The next battle will not be so easy! Everyone must be prepared and complete the tasks at hand, and do not slackewer at all!"
Yan Jie sat upright in the middle of the command room, his tone as solemn as ever.
In fact, the situation of the battle has evolved to this point, which is completely within his calculations. The reason why he wants to train his troops is to deal with the enemy's corpse tide.
In the world of cultivation, cultivators who practice summoning techniques are a very strange thing
Their own strength is often vulnerable, but once they are given enough time and materials, they can exert huge combat power, even invincible and challenge beyond the level.
For example, if you look at any of the individuals on the screen, you will be full of flaws. But once the number of these zombies gathers to a certain level, it will immediately cause qualitative changes.
Not to mention that Yan Jie would not come alone, even if there are ten or a hundred times more cultivators in Linshan City, they may not be able to deal with this huge power.
In Yan Jie's view, the most direct way to deal with summoned monks is to use the other person's way to use the other person's way to use soldiers of similar orders of magnitude, holding excellent weapons, and directly confront them head-on!
This is a strategic way of fighting, and it also means that as long as this army is present, Yan Jie can use the same way of fighting in the future when facing any enemy of the same category. He doesn't need to try his best to find the person behind the scenes, just push it all the way. As for the obstacles on the way, the gods block the gods, and the Buddhas block the Buddhas!
Yan Jie's eyes swept over the five masters one by one, and finally paused on Bai Yan for a moment, then said: "The next preparations must be fully carried out!"
County Magistrate Zhu was full of red light. This victory made him full of confidence in Yan Jie and said loudly: "The commander-in-chief just order, we will do it!"
Yan Jie nodded and said, "First, the scale of the arsenal needs to be expanded again, the production line of heavy machine guns must be fully rolled out, and the ammunition is open to production. Qian Yushi, you must ensure that all materials are given priority for the supply of military factories! In addition, a production line is established around major mines, and the preliminary processing is moved directly to the mine. The factory in the yamen is only responsible for the overall assembly. In the next time, the productivity of Linshan City will be increased by five times!"
"Mr. Zhu County Magistrate, from now on, the grain in the city is subject to a ration system, and everyone supplies three meals a day. It is important to note that all military families will double the share of grain supply to attract more people to join the army! The front-line troops are at their limit for five days, and new recruits have already formed a soldier and must be ready to change defenses at any time!"
"Five patriarchs, the training of the recruits must be carried out intensified. Master Liu, the magic circle in Xicheng must be completed as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for you..."
Yan Jie's last words were pun, and Liu Ruyan's heart was trembling and lowered her head without saying a word.
...
Seventy miles outside Linshan City, there is a small village called Taoxi Village. Every family here plantes peach trees by the stream. When spring comes, the fallen flowers are colorful and beautiful as a fairyland, so they are named.
In fact, Taoxi Village had fallen a few months ago. The entire village was occupied by zombies, and none of the villagers were spared. Like Xishan Village, it has become a dead place.
However, on the day when the defense battle in Linshan City began, Taoxi Village suddenly welcomed a group of guests.
These people were all wearing black cloaks, covering their bodies and faces tightly. This outfit was exactly the same as the skeleton woman captured by Yan Jie in the west of the city.
The leader came to the stream and suddenly lifted up his cloak, revealing a thin and shriveled old man's face.
He stretched out his skinny right hand and pointed gently at the flowing stream, which immediately began to rotate, forming a vortex of a diameter of a water tank.
Two red lights flashed across the skinny old man's eyes, like two slender torches. As if affected by his eyes, the vortex became redder and thicker, as thick as blood.
The old man waved his sleeves, and the surface of the vortex suddenly shone red, and a picture suddenly appeared.
In the picture, there is a hillside, with wreckage everywhere, and groups of zombies retreating to the bottom of the mountain, a scene of doomsday.
