Chapter 54 Blood Mine Operation

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers of the first company who retreated from the small gate of Chaoyang Street were divided into platoons, with each of the three platoons stationed at an interception wall to prepare for battle.

Gun barrels of varying thicknesses protruded from the shooting holes in the wall, and the deep metallic light exuded a dangerous and deadly aura.

After a morning of rest, the soldiers of the company took a short nap for a few hours. Now they were full and had enough sleep. Although the amount of sleep was far from enough, it was a luxury in battle.

Most of the soldiers have recovered their spirits and are adjusting their weapons to prepare for shooting, while chatting with their comrades to relax.

The shooting wall is divided into two layers, with a squad stationed on each layer. The extra squads are kept as reserves for rotation and can also be used as support forces in emergencies.

Although the number of troops is still insufficient in the face of the zombies' endless attacks in the next 24 hours, it is already the limit of what they can provide at the moment.

Just now, Zhao Jie delivered the crystal cores collected by the militia, but this time he only exchanged them for more than 2000 gold coins, mainly because the accumulation of corpses on Chaoyang Street became more and more serious, and it was no longer possible to stop the advancement of the zombies.

Looking at the sharply decreasing number of gains, Gu Chengyuan also ordered the militia to withdraw from the battlefield and rest in the rear.

Continuing to collect is very cost-effective and can easily lead to danger, causing fear and resistance.

It would be better to let the militiamen who have been working for almost 24 hours withdraw and rest. After all, once the blood mine plan is operational, they will still be the main force in opening the zombies' skulls.

After the militia team completely withdrew, Gu Chengyuan's command vehicle also withdrew to the East District Stadium behind the interception wall.

"The Second Company must withdraw from the East District Gate in an orderly manner without leaving anyone behind. At the same time, the main gate will be closed. Remember, you only have five minutes to withdraw from the Blood Mine! Five minutes is the interception time of the main gate! The retreat route is Xuefu Road. The main gate of the interception wall here has been opened!"

"Report immediately after the troops have completed their evacuation preparations!"

"Roger that!"

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Zhu Jun immediately conveyed the evacuation preparation order to the entire company and issued an evacuation plan. At the same time, he asked the communicator to inform the armored infantry company commander Li Kun.

All three rows of soldiers on guard at the rear got on board, and three Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles painted in digital cluster camouflage drove to the side of the road in a column. As the transmission devices of the machine guns on the roofs made "click-click-click" sounds, the machine gunners of each vehicle also entered the vehicle-mounted machine gun positions.

The engines of the four 04A infantry fighting vehicles parked nearby started up with a roar, and their tracks pressed shallow ruts on the asphalt road at the school gate. They were parked in a trapezoidal shape outside the east district school gate, leaving two gaps for the Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles to pass through.

"Zhu Jun Zhu Jun! I'm Li Kun. The first platoon of the armored infantry company is ready to support us. You can withdraw!"

"receive!"

"The Second Company begins to withdraw, high-powered firepower on both sides retreat and board the vehicles! All platoon leaders must keep an eye on their personnel, leaving no one behind! Report any emergencies in a timely manner!"

"One row received!"

"Second platoon received!"

Less than a minute after he finished speaking, the first and second rows of soldiers, led by the platoon leader, filed out from the building doors on both sides of the small door. Wearing helmets and goggles, holding guns and carrying tactical backpacks, they ran towards the fountain in the east area in an orderly manner. While running, they consciously kept the sights on the gun rails away from themselves.

In order to facilitate the withdrawal, the previous Mengshi 3 armored vehicles had been driven away by the second company, while the two Shaanxi Automobile transport vehicles were left behind. When the two platoons arrived, the transport vehicles had already started and the tailgate was opened.

Two platoons of forty soldiers with good military training quickly boarded the vehicle. The Shaanxi Automobile transport vehicle turned around without any reluctance and drove along Xuesheng Road towards the interception gate.

The gunfire at the small gate in the east district not only did not weaken, but became louder due to the evacuation of personnel. The machine gunners on the two Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles operated the heavy machine guns and roared wildly!

The surging zombies were shattered by 12.7 caliber machine gun bullets, creating bursts of scarlet blood mist. However, the speed of killing the zombies was no match for the speed of the zombie horde's advance.

Just as the zombie swarm was about to advance to the Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle, Gu Chengyuan's voice came from Zhu Jun's intercom:

"The second company's armored units will immediately withdraw along the designated route! Armored Infantry Company Commander Li Kun's troops will provide cover. Execute immediately!"

"Received!" x2

The two Mengshi 3 armored vehicles began to retreat while firing machine guns, and soon passed through the trapezoidal formation of the 04A infantry fighting vehicles.

After watching Zhu Jun's troops withdraw, Li Kun no longer hesitated. He grabbed the intercom and directly gave the order to open fire.

"Prepare the armor-piercing shells!"

"Fire!"

Boom boom boom~

There were several consecutive explosions, accompanied by the extension and retraction of the smoothbore gun barrel. The short vibration made the raindrops on the chariot jump.

The powerful kinetic energy pushed three tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets towards the zombies. The first zombie that came into contact with the armor-piercing bullet instantly exploded into a bloody mist, followed by the second, third, and fourth...

Balls of blood mist lit up like signal lights!

The three armor-piercing bullets plowed through the swarm of zombies effortlessly like plow points. Any zombies they touched along the way burst into blood mist and shattered into pieces of flesh. Almost in the blink of an eye, three huge gullies of blood and flesh appeared in the dense swarm of zombies.

Li Kun looked through the in-car imaging device and couldn't help smacking his lips.

"This is really fucking awesome!"

"If this isn't a group of zombies but a crowd of people, all nine clans will be arrested and brought to a military court, right?"

"Feed, feed! Guns, fire freely!"

"Fuck it, where's the machine gun? It's roaring! Are you all stupid?"

Within a few seconds

Boom boom boom~

A few more roars sounded

The smoke from the muzzle had not yet dissipated, and several bloody grooves were plowed out of the corpse crowd. The corpse crowd that was densely packed just now became sparse like the top of a middle-aged man's head, as if it had been combed by a comb.

Da Da Da~

The 7.62mm coaxial machine gun spit out yellow fireworks and began a crazy killing!

Just now, the Second Infantry Company withdrew from the precarious East District gate and immediately stabilized the situation. Not only that, it also pushed the swarm of zombies back more than ten meters!

"Armored Infantry Company! Armored Infantry Company! Close the small gate immediately, evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!"

Listening to Gu Chengyuan's order coming from the intercom, Li Kun, who was feeling happy, looked a little resentful, but he still gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

Kakakka~

A harsh sound of metal friction was heard, and a 30-centimeter-thick alloy closed door removed from an underground parking lot in the West District slid out through the newly built ground track, completely closing the entire small door.

Li Kun's armored infantry platoon did not hesitate at all. The 04A infantry fighting vehicle made a handsome U-turn on the spot, with Li Kun's infantry fighting vehicle as the lead vehicle, gradually accelerating along Bachelor's Road towards the interception gate in front of the East District Gymnasium.

Gu Chengyuan and Wu Bin stood on the interception wall, watching the last 04A armored infantry fighting vehicle drive out and the closed door slide out to completely block the road.

Pick up the intercom again

"Attention, control room! Open the small gate of the east area! You are trapped!"

"Roger that!"

呲味味~

The corpse-blocking gate, which was being frantically scratched by the zombies at this moment, slowly shrank to the right, revealing a gap. The zombies that had accumulated here and were trampling on each other like a small hill found an outlet like a mountain torrent and scrambled to squeeze into the East Campus!

Looking at the corpse swarm that was like a flood, the soldiers behind the interception wall subconsciously tightened their weapons in their hands, as if this could bring them some sense of security.

When the zombies spread to 20 meters in front of the interception wall, Gu Chengyuan said calmly into the intercom:

"As planned"

"Fire!"
