#96 - Chapter 96 Level 3 Zombie
"Orderly!" Yan Zhengping shouted after hanging up the phone.
"Here!"
"Immediately order the First and Second Artillery Regiments to adjust their artillery muzzles, targeting the area ten to twenty kilometers south of the military headquarters. Await orders to carry out a blanket bombardment."
"Order the Second, Third, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Infantry Divisions to immediately return to defend. The Second and Third Divisions are to find favorable terrain on the eight-kilometer stretch of the road south of the military headquarters and construct the first line of defense. The Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Divisions are to find favorable terrain four kilometers away and construct the second line of defense."
"Order the tank battalion directly under the military headquarters to deploy all tanks on the road leading to the military headquarters to block the zombies in sections. Main combat tasks: First: Provide fire support for the infantry divisions; Second, block the road and slow down the zombies' movement speed."
"Yes!"
"Also, summon Rong Po to me!"
"Yes!"
5 minutes later.
"Report!"
"Enter!"
"Reporting, Commander! The Zhanfeng Assault Team is assembled and awaiting instructions!" Rong Po shouted.
"Rong Po, how many people in our military headquarters are equipped with combat suits?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"Reporting, Commander! Currently, besides our Zhanfeng Assault Team with 500 members, the three special forces regiments and one tank battalion, totaling over 3,300 people, are all equipped with combat suits," Rong Po said proudly.
"Wow! That many?" Yan Zhengping was a little surprised. From mid-December last year until now, in just about three months, they had earned so many combat suits.
"That's because the surrounding counties have basically been cleared out, slowing down the progress. Otherwise, it would definitely be more than this!" Rong Po said.
"Good! Excellent!" Yan Zhengping happily slapped the table.
"Orderly!"
"Here!"
"Immediately order the three special forces regiments directly under the military headquarters to proceed to the front line and eliminate the zombies with all available firepower."
"Yes!"
"Commander, if we do that, the military headquarters will have no defense! What if..." Rong Po was a little worried.
"Isn't that why you guys are here?" Yan Zhengping waved his hand.
"Yes!" Rong Po said no more.
The Zhanfeng Assault Team, with its full strength of 500 people, should be enough to protect the commander.
"Report!"
"Enter!"
"Commander, I request to join the battle!" The person who came was Yan Fangfang.
"Nonsense! You just stay here with me!" Yan Zhengping ignored her.
"I can do it!" Yan Fangfang argued.
"Execute the order!" Yan Zhengping had no time to deal with her right now.
"Yes!" Yan Fangfang replied helplessly.
The garrison locations of several divisions were not far from the military headquarters. This was also the entire armed force of the Shuchuan Province. The remaining troops had already been transferred to Lazang in the Northwest region for rest and reorganization.
It was already late at night when the zombies walked from Yun Du City to Anning County.
At this time, the first line of defense had already been built.
Many tanks were parked haphazardly on the road, all with their muzzles pointing straight ahead.
Shuchuan Province was originally mountainous, with winding roads.
Many trenches were dug crisscrossing the slopes on the side of the road, and the trenches were full of people.
The three special forces regiments, wearing combat suits, were hidden behind the tanks on the road.
Preparations were complete, and everyone hid and waited quietly.
Accompanied by flood-like roars, densely packed zombies filled the road in the distance, and under the leadership of several leading zombies, they were approaching rapidly.
Four kilometers, three kilometers, two kilometers...
When the zombies entered the bombing zone, "Boom, boom, boom," the artillery fire sounded.
Where the shells exploded, flames burst out, limbs and broken arms flew, and flesh and blood splattered. The rolling air waves directly blew away the surrounding zombies. After landing, those zombies stood up and continued to charge forward.
Seeing the blocking army in front, the zombies became crazy.
The leading zombie let out a loud roar, and countless zombies began to run towards the tank group.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
"Ta, ta, ta~"
The tank group and heavy machine guns began to bombard and straf, and the zombies rushing in the front kept falling down. The zombies behind stepped on the bodies on the ground and continued to rush forward.
They were not aware of fear, and in their eyes, there was only tearing and devouring.
The most terrifying were the leading behemoth and several slightly smaller zombies.
They were not shattered by artillery shells, nor were they afraid of the rain of bullets. They were blown away, stood up, and continued to move forward.
The soldiers of the special forces regiment were seeing such a situation for the first time.
"Why?"
"What kind of zombies are these?"
"Why can't they be killed?"
Everyone had such questions.
In fact, the leader was already a Tier 3 mutated zombie, and the four or five around it were Tier 2.
The thick skin cocooned outside their bodies protected them from most of the damage.
Furthermore, unlike humans, the zombie's body was just a shell used for walking. Unless there was a broken limb, being shot would not affect their movement at all.
Closer, closer, under the leadership of the leading zombie, these zombies had approached the tank group.
The soldiers in the trenches on the mountains on both sides of the road also began to attack, while the three special forces regiments, using the tanks as cover, began to retreat while attacking.
"Clang~"
The leading zombie directly slapped the tank, and the tank weighing several tons was actually knocked back several meters!
"What a powerful force!"
The soldiers who witnessed this scene were all surprised.
The soldiers in the tank were also shaken and dazed by this blow.
