Chapter 1156 Biological Weapons?
Meanwhile, as the troops advanced rapidly, heavy armored units such as the Type 99A main battle tank were not restricted on the narrow city streets, but instead began to display their might!
After all, urban warfare in the apocalypse is the opposite of urban warfare in humans, as zombies and mutated beasts do not have anti-armor weapons.
So when a tank encounters a cluster of zombie mutants in a narrow area, the moment the coaxial machine guns fire, the frenzy on the scene is almost indistinguishable from harvesting wheat.
Often, a single volley of probing fire is enough to send rocks flying, forcing out or eliminating any hidden threats.
As a result, the resistance encountered during the armored advance was so weak that it was pitiful.
Occasionally, a power-type mutant would charge out despite the light weapons fire, attempting to ram an infantry fighting vehicle. What it would usually be met with the tank's devastating 125mm main gun—even a near miss with a high-explosive shell was enough to shatter it into pieces, or it would be precisely targeted by an anti-tank missile launched from the infantry fighting vehicle, turning into charred remains in a burst of fire.
Three or five zombies that rushed out from the collapsed shopping mall were mowed down by the coaxial machine guns on the infantry fighting vehicles before they could even get close to the armored column. The 12.7mm bullets easily tore them to pieces.
Even more concerning were the hordes of zombies attempting to pour out of the underground garage entrance, only to have their cannons turned around by the tanks, and a high-explosive shell blasted into the entrance. The violent explosion completely sealed off the entrance, burying the zombies inside as well.
Faced with overwhelming firepower, armored protection, and tight tactical coordination, these scattered zombies were like moths drawn to a flame, instantly devoured and annihilated. The ground forces advanced at an extremely rapid pace, almost following the path carved out by the armored formations, advancing unstoppably towards the city's core area!
At the same time, a new roar came from the sky!
A massive helicopter formation, consisting of Z-10, Z-20, and Z-8L attack helicopters, swept into the heart of the city like a swarm of iron-winged locusts, following the passage opened up by ground troops!
The WZ-10 hovered in the air like a vigilant falcon, its rotating turret on the nose occasionally spitting out tongues of fire to precisely eliminate mutants or small groups of zombies that were trying to throw objects from rooftops or windows in the distance.
The rockets fired from the rocket nest completely destroyed some of the more fortified building strongholds that might be hiding threats.
More Z-20 and Z-8L helicopters flew directly over key locations—large intersections, squares, and the rooftops of government buildings.
With ropes thrown down, fully armed air assault infantrymen descended like divine soldiers, quickly taking control of the high ground, establishing temporary positions, clearing obstacles and providing flank cover for the further advance of ground troops.
The airspace and ground are closely connected through data links.
Ground troops guide helicopters to targets, while helicopters provide fire support and situational awareness to ground troops.
As the offensive has progressed, the 2nd Army Group has become like a precise and efficient killing machine, with every component perfectly integrated and working in tandem to push destruction and order to every corner of the city.
The steel roared, the tracks crushed, the guns roared, and the rotors howled!
Amidst the ruins, humanity's war machine is asserting its dominance and unquestionable power, declaring its renewed conquest of this fallen land!
Every step forward is a squeeze on the land of death; every shot fired is a dispelling of the shadow of despair! This battle to retake the city has entered its most brutal and intense phase of urban warfare!
Seeing that the ground troops were making good progress and estimating the time, Wang Tiefeng, the commander of the theater army, and Wang Tiefeng, the commander-in-chief, after consulting with Gu Chengyuan again, directly issued the second phase order - the cleanup operation of the heavily polluted area!
"Attention all personnel of the 1st Special Operations Brigade, according to the pre-battle assigned tasks, tear them to shreds!!"
The voice fell
"Attention all personnel of the 1st Special Operations Brigade, according to the pre-battle assigned tasks, tear them to shreds!!"
Wang Tiefeng's order was like a boulder thrown into a still lake, creating ripples in the special operations brigade's dedicated encrypted channel.
In an instant, a long-suppressed ferocious aura surged into the sky from two concealed attack positions built on the flanks of the battlefield!
Eastern attack point, target: mutated ant nest!
Like the gates of hell opening, nearly five hundred "ghoul" warriors clad in matte black "Night Hunter" armor surged out of their cover like a tidal wave.
Their armor barely reflected light in the dim light; only the low hissing sound of the hydraulic systems at the joints and the flashing crimson light on the tactical goggles outlined their inhuman silhouettes.
Led by Deputy Brigade Commander Barto, clad in a dark red Vanguard Night Hunter armor, they embarked on a frenzied assault without using any vehicles, relying entirely on the powerful mobility provided by their exoskeletons!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heavy, orderly footsteps shook the earth, far more oppressive than a conventional infantry charge.
Like a black, steel torrent sweeping across the ground, they launched a fierce attack on the giant, cancer-like anthills in the distance with superhuman speed.
The black figure flashed through the ruins, leaping over low obstacles and violently smashing through broken walls. Its movements carried a violent aesthetic born of pure destruction, like a pack of hungry beasts breaking free of their chains and pouncing on their prey.
Meanwhile, as the inhuman charge of the 1st Special Operations Brigade was transmitted in real time to the giant screen in the joint command center via high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and high-definition cameras of frontline troops—
On the observation corridor, the leaders of the three theater commands, who were originally immersed in the overwhelming offensive of the conventional troops, suddenly fell silent!
General Wei Jingfang, commander of the Western Theater Command, suddenly widened his eyes, which were used to seeing the bloody battlefield, and his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something that overturned his understanding.
"What...what kind of unit is this?!" He almost gritted his teeth as he squeezed out this horrified question from deep in his throat.
That black armored torrent, that speed far exceeding human limits, those heavy footsteps that shook the ground, and that ferocious aura that could be felt even on the screen, almost solidified into reality...
This was absolutely no military unit he knew! No!! It couldn't even be called a military unit... It was clearly not human!!
Instead, they were ferocious beasts clad in armor!
Could this be a biological weapon developed by the Central Plains Theater?!
