Grenades are not like cannonballs. Although the explosion range is small, they are targeted. When the zombies attack the city wall, the team is no longer as close as before. After the baptism of artillery fire and gunfire, the zombies are not dense in many places. At this time Bombing with artillery fire will inevitably lead to a waste of ammunition.
Therefore, targeted grenades thrown at this time are more lethal to zombies. Moreover, in order to reduce the pressure of sniper battles, Xu Ying also specially prepared many special grenades for these soldiers. A lot of lightning grenades, flame grenades, and ice grenades were prepared that could stop the zombies from attacking. For a moment, under the wall, the zombies were either frozen or covered in fire, slowly melting under the flames.
"Captain, this battle is too easy. As long as we have enough supplies, I think we can easily gain military merit!" The regiment staff officer said excitedly as he looked at the zombies that kept falling.
"It's not that simple! This little zombie means we have already invested 80% of our firepower. After a while, the main zombies will come, and that will be the real test." The leader did not relax. He stood on a high slope, Use a telescope to observe the movements of zombies.
At this time, although humans and zombies were fighting, and on the surface humans were overwhelmingly slaughtering zombies, there were not many zombie forward troops. They just moved along the trough, and the zombies behind had already crossed the trough and climbed to Halfway up the hill, it is really full of mountains and plains.
What worries the leader even more is that among the corpses at the back, there is actually a tall giant zombie. This zombie is obviously not comparable to those low-level zombies. His skin color has turned iron blue, and even has a faint flash of light. Metallic luster.
The giant zombie left the city of Rome with the corpses. As it got farther and farther away from Rome, the brainwave interference device Li Yuanhong set up in the city had less and less influence on the giant zombie. Now he has basically restored his ability to control the city. Control of the corpse swarm. At the same time, he stayed away from Rome, which made the skeleton zombie in the city no longer able to affect him.
Zombies also have a territorial concept. High-level zombies like giant zombies are very reluctant to be subordinates to others. Therefore, now that he has a group of zombies under his own control, he will naturally not return to Rome, but will Find a place to make yourself king.
However, there are human beings blocking his way forward. In his opinion, human beings are existences like food. But now the food actually attacks him and causes him heavy losses. This makes the giant zombie angry.
With a zombie roar, the zombies that were still moving slowly on the hillside suddenly began to accelerate forward one by one as if they had taken stimulants. The entire group of zombies began to rush towards the sniper position crazily.
The originally fortified positions on the hillside were not attacked by zombies, and they could also help the defensive positions down the hillside. However, the sudden influx of zombies completely threw the positions on the hillside into a panic, because they had never considered that the zombies would directly attack the positions on the mountain. Therefore, the defenses here were mostly based on sniper rifles and rifles, with heavy firepower such as machine guns and infantry. , with almost no equipment, so facing the frenzied tide of corpses, the entire defense system seemed to have insufficient firepower.
"Captain, please support us. There are too many zombies here and we can't hold them anymore!"
"What the hell did you do? It's only been a few minutes and you can't hold on anymore. Where are your grenades? Throw the grenades for me!"
"There are too many zombies, and we don't have enough firepower here. Commander, if we don't support us, we won't be able to defend here!"
The first thing that can't stand it is the battalion defending the position above.
"If you can't defend it, you have to defend it for me, even if you are fighting at the end and no one can take a step back!" The regiment leader had no choice but to issue a death order at this time. At this time, as long as he says the word "withdraw", then you will be on the entire defense line. In an instant, everything would collapse and his troops would scatter and run for their lives, so now he had to let everyone hold on and not take a step back.
"Captain, are we really not going to send anyone?" asked the staff officer next to him.
"I want to send one too, but now I only have one guard company available."
"Captain, I have an idea."
"What's your idea? Hurry, don't you see that the hills on both sides are almost filled with zombies!"
"Yes, Captain, you look at the hillsides on both sides. Although they are not very steep, they still have a certain slope. In such terrain, zombies attacking from their backs will not only be slower, but also the dead zombies will not easily accumulate, so The hillsides have always been cleaner.”
"Well, you've been talking for so long, what do you mean?"
"Captain, the ancients would set up rolling logs and thunder stones when guarding terrain like hillsides."
"Don't beat around the bush. You want to roll a wooden thunder stone. Where can I get it for you now? Even if I get it, it may not be able to kill these zombies now." The group was a little impatient.
"Captain, we have a better guy than Rolling Mu Lei Shi."
"What? Why didn't I know?"
"Commander, those are the oil drums left behind by the tank soldiers! Those are great weapons!"
"Yes, yes, why did I forget these oil barrels? Hurry up and transport these oil barrels to the hills on both sides!"
"Wait a minute, Captain!"
"how?"
"We can't just transport it up like this. I'm adding some ingredients to make sure those zombies enjoy it!" the staff officer said with a slight smile.
Soon, hundreds of barrels of oil were manufactured and transported to the top of the mountain.
"We are at war, why did the regiment commander send us oil barrels?" The commander of the first battalion looked at the oil barrels and asked in confusion. What he needed most now was reinforcements and heavy fire support.
"Battal Commander, the regiment commander said, if you don't know how to use this, you don't have to do it!" the ordering soldier said with a grimace.
"Regiment commander really said that?" The battalion commander glanced at the messenger in confusion.
"Yes." The messenger said.
The battalion commander turned his head and glanced at the oil drums arranged in a row, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "This is asking me to set up the oil drum array. Quickly, carry the oil drums to the front line." The battalion commander immediately gave instructions. road.
At this time, the front was in a mess, and there was even close combat in some places, and more than a dozen soldiers had been injured. Slight injuries are easy to deal with. There is red potion. As long as there are no broken arms or legs, or injuries to internal organs, you can drink a bottle and you will recover quickly. However, once you are injured in a battle with zombies, it is difficult to have minor injuries. So behind the front line, there are more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers lying. Although these people are safe for life, it may be difficult for these people to live a complete life in the second half of their lives.
Next to these people, there are several corpses. Although the corpses are there, most of them are incomplete. This is the cruelty of close combat with zombies.
Although some people fell, the soldiers on the front line still showed no fear and kept attacking the zombies. The entire defense line was like a rock in front of a huge wave. Although the waves were very violent, the rock remained motionless.
But now this reef is getting smaller and smaller, because injured soldiers are constantly being carried off the battlefield. If there is no backup, it is estimated that it can only support ten minutes at most.
"Quickly, put the oil drum down for me, and then get out of here!" the battalion commander ordered the soldiers.
"Battal Commander, you worked so hard to transport it, why do you have to get out of here?"
"Quickly, execute the order!" the battalion commander said anxiously.
The soldiers had no choice but to lift the oil drum out of the trench, then put it down and rolled down, and were soon swamped by zombies.
And at the moment when the oil drum was overwhelmed by zombies, the battalion commander suddenly took out his own gun. It was a pistol with a range of only fifty meters, but the power of this gun was much greater than before the apocalypse.
The battalion commander took out his pistol and fired a shot. The bullet hit the oil barrel without missing a beat. The moment the bullet hit the oil barrel, a spark exploded and a hole was made in the oil barrel.
When the sparks met the oil in the hole, there was a loud noise, and even a large mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The zombies around the oil drum were instantly reduced to ashes by the fire cloud of the oil drum explosion, and the surrounding zombies , was also blown down to pieces. The swarm of black zombies was instantly cleared out of a large clearing, and a large crater two meters deep was blasted on the hillside.
This explosion made the battalion commander almost drop his jaw in shock. This was not an oil barrel. This was simply a high-explosive bomb. If his men had accidentally blown up the oil barrel just now, there would be no need to defend the entire position. , it was directly wiped out by these oil barrels.
"Quick, quick, put some oil barrels." Seeing the benefits, the battalion commander immediately continued to put the oil barrels.
The soldiers immediately put down the remaining oil barrels without the battalion commander's orders, and soon ten more oil barrels were put down.
At this time, oil barrels exploded in the group of corpses. Soon, all the zombies approaching the defense line were cleared away. The only remaining zombies were those with missing arms and legs, so they were no longer in danger.
At the same time as the explosion sounded on the hill here, there was also an explosion on the other side of the hill. It can be seen that the oil barrels on the other side were also used.
With the help of oil barrels, the explosions on both sides of the hills slowed down the zombie attack on the hillside. However, the zombie group rushing straight to the mountain pass did not slow down at all. Half of the soldiers in the entire battalion had begun to guard the city. , and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the zombies. After all, the temporary defensive wall was not very high. If they were given another ten and a half days, the ten-meter-high wall would definitely be able to easily block the attack of the zombie group. But now, the wall is only more than three meters high. Gao, they must use their own flesh and blood to resist the torrent of zombies.
"Send me my guard company!" The regiment leader looked at the bloody corpses being carried down one by one, with a heavy heart. He knew that none of these soldiers fell with injuries on their backs. It was a heroic death in the face of zombies. He must now guard this pass, so this final reserve force has to be sent up.
"Captain, all your soldiers have been sent out. For your safety..."
a noncommissioned officer asked worriedly.
"The position has been lost. What's the point of having so many soldiers here? Hurry up and give me support on the front line! If the position is lost, I will have to go up and plug the holes!" the regiment leader said resolutely.
