The battle continued, and more than half of the more than a hundred soldiers who went up were injured in a short time. Watching the team battle, his heart was bleeding, but at this time, he only had anger and not a single tear.
"Bring me my knife!" the regiment leader ordered the guard beside him.
"Captain, what are you doing!" The guard looked at the commander in surprise.
"My soldiers are almost out, it's my turn to show up!" the regiment leader said with determination.
"Captain, why don't we call for backup?" the guard suggested.
"Humph, what's the matter? There is no such word as surrender in my dictionary. If the higher-ups could send out soldiers, they would have done so long ago. You don't need to say anything." After saying that, the regiment leader took the guard leader's steel He took the knife and walked towards the city wall without looking back.
At this time, the city wall was already in a mess, and there were even large gaps created by zombies in some places. If a tank hadn't blocked it in time, the zombies would have poured in through the gap.
The city wall is also littered with broken limbs, both human and zombie. The entire city wall is now blood red, and its original color cannot be seen at all. Some places are even sticky and slippery with blood.
After several hours of fighting, many soldiers were exhausted and unable to wield their swords.
At this moment, a soldier saw the regiment leader leading several soldiers up the city wall.
"The leader is here! The leader is here!" A shout spread throughout the city.
This sound immediately cheered up the exhausted soldiers as if they had taken a tonic pill.
"Kill!" A powerful roar shook the entire city wall.
The zombies that had already rushed to the city were counterattacked by the soldiers.
The captain was not idle either. He swung his sword and chopped down a few zombies that had just climbed up the city wall. He also helped a soldier who was grabbed by the zombies and tried hard to break free. But the zombies were so powerful that the soldiers couldn't break free for a while. And the zombie's slobbering mouth was biting at the soldier's throat.
"Ah..." the soldier shouted, trying with all his strength to break free, but it was of no use. The soldier had closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
But at this moment, the soldier suddenly felt his body loosen up, and the zombie seemed to let go.
So the soldier quickly opened his eyes and found a knife inserted straight into the temple of the zombie. It was already dead.
"Boy, don't get caught by zombies next time!" A loud voice sounded next to him.
The soldier turned around and saw the regiment leader pulling out his steel knife from the zombie's head.
"Regiment...Captain!" The soldier looked at the regiment leader in surprise. Unexpectedly, he was rescued by the regiment commander.
"Boy, why are you still standing there, come with me and kill the zombies!" the leader said while killing.
The little soldier also regained his energy, picked up the steel knife that had just fallen to the ground, and rushed towards the zombies at the edge of the city wall again with the leader.
The battle did not abate due to the arrival of the group leader, but instead intensified. At this time, the group leader was surrounded by three zombies. Although the group leader tried hard to kill one, the three zombies did not give the group leader a chance and climbed up. There are more and more zombies on the city wall, and all the soldiers are tired of resisting. No one can rescue them. As long as the stalemate persists for a while, the regiment leader will be seriously injured or even lose his life.
Once the regiment leader is killed or injured in battle, the morale of the entire human defense will be completely lost. Without morale, the defense will collapse on its own.
At this critical moment, several drones suddenly appeared in the sky. They flew over the battlefield, fired several missiles at the corpses, and then turned back and flew away.
If these missiles were just ordinary missiles, their impact on the battlefield would be minimal. At most, they would just kill a few more zombies.
But these missiles are not ordinary missiles, but missiles with special substances added inside.
The missile exploded, and thick smoke suddenly rose up. The smoke began to spread with the summer wind of the Mediterranean Sea, and the zombies who came into contact with the smoke began to howl non-stop, and the carrion on their bodies looked like they had been exposed to hot water. The solid ice began to melt away, and eventually only a pile of bones remained, collapsing to the ground.
As the fog spreads, this kind of corrosion, like a plague, keeps spreading among the zombies. No matter whether the zombie is an ordinary zombie or a mutated zombie, there is no way to escape the fate of the team being melted. Even that zombie The giant zombie only persisted for one more minute, howled for a while longer, and finally turned into a pile of bones.
The smoke spread to the city wall, and the zombies on the wall lost their fighting ability until they finally died. However, the soldiers on the wall were unscathed. However, the long battle left the soldiers exhausted. When the threat was removed, the soldiers who were still alive were One by one they collapsed on the city wall, unable to stand for a while.
"Captain, we are still alive!" The soldier who was rescued by the regiment collapsed not far from the regiment leader, sighing as if he was surviving a disaster.
"Yes, we are still alive!" The leader's voice sounded even more vicissitudes of life.
After the disaster, these soldiers experienced a death test, and they became more determined. Especially after the war, when Li Yuanhong transferred the regiment commander to the military academy to study, he realized that he had made many mistakes during defense. Mistakes, if these mistakes can be corrected in time, more brothers should leave the battlefield alive.
What happened in this valley also happened in several other valleys. Soon, nearly two million zombies were melted by this strange mist in the mountains.
"Captain, what kind of weapon do you think this is? It's so powerful that it can melt zombies directly. With such a weapon, how can we fight a sniper battle?"
One of the soldiers finally regained his composure and asked.
"I heard from the commander that this is made of something called the Stone of Light. This thing is very lethal to those monsters with dark attributes, but this thing can only be effective if it is contaminated with these scattered corpses. Moreover, this thing spreads easily in the air and will disappear soon. It is the best to deal with zombies, but zombies are particularly sensitive to these light attributes. Once they feel it in advance, they will run away. , that's why the commander-in-chief chose this hilly and valley area. Once here, it won't be easy for the zombies to run away.
The reason why we sniped was to wait for all the zombies to enter this valley, so that the zombies in other places could sense the existence of this kind of thing in advance. "
"Then Commander, why don't you just put these things in the city?"
"It's true that you are stupid. When you were in the military camp, no matter how heavy the rain was outside or how strong the wind was, and you walked into the house, what could God do to you? Likewise, when these missiles were dropped in the city, those Zombies are hiding in the house, who are you going to blow up?"
"Oh, I forgot about the house!" the soldier stuck out his tongue.
At this moment, the staff officer came running over.
"Report to the regimental commander, the military commander telegraphs the order!"
When the regiment leader heard this, he quickly got up and took the telegram regardless of the blood on his body. As a result, two red handprints were immediately printed on the telegram newspaper.
"Call your troops to repair for two hours and head directly to the city of Rome. Be sure to arrive at the Trevi Fountain before five o'clock in the evening. Be careful of any missed zombie attacks on the way."
After seeing the message, the captain was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Our team is already a tired army. If we encounter a large group of zombies, we will have no fighting power at all. Why did the commander send us into the city at this time?"
"Captain, you still don't understand. This is wrong for us to be the first to enter the city. There are almost no zombies in the city now, and the commander also said that after we arrive at the destination, we will wait for orders. Commander-in-Chief He might come to inspect us in person!”
"Really!" The leader became excited upon hearing this.
"Of course it's true!"
"Okay, great! You guys, get up and assemble!"
After a period of hustle and bustle, the entire regiment was assembled. At this time, there were only more than 500 people left in the team of more than 1,000 people, and everyone was exhausted. Even so, every soldier was full of fighting spirit.
"I will take you to Rome for a walk later. You will change your clothes later, make them clean, and give me something to eat. Don't let the commander-in-chief come and embarrass me. Do you hear me? "
"I heard it!" the soldiers shouted.
"Okay, go get your fucking clothes changed and eat!"
With an order, the soldiers dispersed.
Two hours later, a convoy slowly drove into the long-uninhabited city of Rome. There were tanks in the front left of the convoy, armored vehicles in the back, and personnel carriers in the back. Everyone was protected by steel armor, even after evolution. It will take a lot of effort to deal with such a torrent of steel.
The motorcade broke the tranquility of the city, allowing the city that had long been without the roar of motors to hear the roar of machines again. If it were before, this roar would definitely cause a siege by a group of corpses. At this time, the entire street was deserted, only blown by the wind. The broken branches and leaves streaked across the street.
The convoy moved forward smoothly. Occasionally, zombies that had slipped through the net would rush out from a corner, but with the soldiers on guard, they were killed by a sniper before they even got close.
"Oh, this city is so dilapidated. It doesn't feel like a historical city at all!"
A soldier looked at the dusty buildings on both sides of the road.
"Soon they will regain their former glory!" said a veteran nearby.
"Monitor, why are you so confident?"
"It's not that I'm confident, it's that I've seen cities that are even more dilapidated than this, turn into a prosperous metropolis in the hands of the commander-in-chief!"
"Squad leader, when did you join the army?" The recruit asked curiously after hearing the squad leader talk about the past.
"I joined the army shortly after the commander-in-chief entered Northeast China. However, I am old, my evolution is slow, and I am not good at learning military theories, so I have been hanging out with Commander Xu in the rear, otherwise I would have gone to the front line long ago. . The youngest person who joined the army with me was a battalion-level cadre!" The squad leader looked back, and there was no loss on his face, only those infinite memories.
