Chapter 491 Lynx Weapon Platform
After the city wall defense was completely stabilized by the three infantry battalions of the air assault brigade, Jia Daiquan, the commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion who had barely pulled himself away, immediately shouted to the survivors in an anxious tone:
"Where is the person in charge? Where is the person in charge? Is there anyone who can make the decision?"
Looking at the Z-8L medium-sized transport helicopter hovering over the Zhanjiang gathering area and not leaving yet, Jia Daiquan was secretly anxious.
You have to know that the first batch of people assisting in defending the city included not only these infantrymen, but also 48 various weapon platforms based on Bobcat all-terrain vehicles!
These weapon platforms are divided into five categories: machine guns, grenades and mortars, missiles, rocket launchers, and drones and cruise missiles.
Because the mission was mainly to defend the city, a large number of machine gun weapon platforms were carried, with a total of 32 vehicles, equipped with 12.7mm heavy machine guns, 30mm machine guns, 40mm cannons, and 23mm rotary machine guns, with extremely powerful firepower!
除了大量这用于协助守城的机炮类武器平台外，另有4辆107毫米火箭炮发射平台、4辆82毫米速射迫击炮发射平台、1辆红箭10反坦克反射平台、1辆4联装25毫米防空炮、1辆无人机发射轨平台、以及1辆8联装巡飞弹发射平台。
It was precisely because of such a luxurious lineup of Lynx weapon platforms that Lu Chong had the confidence to use three battalions to block the attack of millions of zombies!
It can be said that all the weapons that can deal with all possible situations have been brought here!
"Since you are rich, then follow through to the end!"
...
Because of this, Jia Daiquan was anxious to find a place for helicopters to take off and land, and wanted to drive these weapon platforms down as soon as possible.
Being useful is secondary; the main purpose is to free up logistical transportation capabilities.
The outpouring of fire from the armed helicopters has created a clear gap in the zombie tide. The strength of the zombies will not be too high in a short period of time, and the firepower of the infantry battalion can fully cope with it.
The most important thing is that after unloading the weapon platforms, these transport helicopters can continue to perform subsequent logistics support tasks. This is the key to the success of this defensive battle!
Why did the situation in the Zhanjiang gathering area deteriorate rapidly and even completely collapse? Was it because the logistics were unsustainable?
If the logistics of the airborne assault brigade's subsequent battles cannot keep up, then even the most advanced weapons will be of no use.
Therefore, every extra minute these helicopters stay hovering in the air is a loss of precious transport capacity!
Luxurious equipment must be equipped with inhumane ammunition consumption!
The 12.7mm heavy machine gun fired, the 23mm rotary cannon turned...
Gee
To say that the ammunition flows like water is an understatement. It is simply running thin and will be empty in a short while!
...
"Here I come! Here I come! Leader! The original person in charge of this wall has died. I am his successor!"
A middle-aged man with a stubble on his face and excited eyes squeezed out from the crowd. His tone was very enthusiastic, and he even sounded like he was crying!
"Leader, we finally got you! On behalf of the entire gathering place, I want to thank you for saving my life!"
In response to the bearded man's thanks, Jia Daiquan quickly waved his hand. At the moment, the group of zombies was just temporarily unable to keep up with the consumption, and it was far from the time to be "saved"!
If you don’t believe it, just look at the endless, black mass of corpses outside. If you don’t know, you would think it is black soil!
So the situation is still extremely dangerous, and the real challenge has just begun!
The huge number of zombies means that this will be a protracted war!
"Don't thank me for now. I want to ask you now, is there a place in your gathering place where helicopters can take off and land? It would be best if it is closer to the city wall!"
As he spoke, Jia Daiquan also pointed to the group of Z-8L medium-sized transport helicopters hovering overhead.
"Yes! Yes, leaders! There are such squares in the four districts of our gathering place, east, west, south and north. They are usually used to organize survivors to hold collective activities and gatherings!" The bearded man nodded repeatedly, his tone excited.
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the team to guide the helicopter to land. We still have a large number of weapon platforms in the helicopters, and these helicopters are also responsible for important logistical tasks!"
"The sooner we finish unloading, the better our chances of winning will be, so please!"
Jia Daiquan's words were very polite. Although they were the stronger side, they were playing away from home after all, so the cooperation of local forces was also very important.
Hearing this, the bearded man couldn't help but shed a few tears from his eyes, and the tears fell to the ground with a "smack" sound...
Right! Right!
The officer in front of him completely matched the image of the savior in his mind. He was strong, humble, and friendly. He was a true soldier of the Zhou State!
"Leader, that's not right. It's my job. I know the seriousness of the matter and I will ensure that it is completed as quickly as possible. If there is any delay, you can just arrest me, Zhang Dahao and shoot me!!" After saying that, Zhang Dahao wiped away his tears vigorously, turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
?
Seeing Zhang Dahao suddenly turn around, Jia Daiquan was stunned for a second and quickly asked the battalion staff to follow him:
"Chang Yu, follow him. If there is anything you need to cooperate with, contact the transport helicopter battalion directly!"
After the two men left, Jia Daiquan couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the survivors piled up on the city wall.
When ammunition is insufficient and cold weapons are needed for defense, more people naturally mean more power, but the situation is obviously different now, more people will only cause chaos...
The scene is a mixed bag. Apart from the fear of someone stealing the combat supplies piled up on the ground by the troops, the even more deadly thing is virus infection!
God knows if anyone among this group of people was injured in the fight with the zombies just now?
The population density on the city wall is so high that if an infection breaks out, it will be a big trouble. In extreme cases, it may even cause the collapse of the entire defense!
Therefore, all survivors except those of our own airborne assault brigade must be cleared out!
Just as Jia Daiquan was figuring out how to manage the wall, the crowd became agitated again.
