Chapter 545 Air-Ground Coordinated Firepower Coverage
"This mutant giant mushroom is quite useful!"
Lu Chong seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the picture on the screen.
"It would be great if I could use this giant mushroom for my own benefit. First, I would let it release spores to control the zombies. Then I could beat it up, scare it, and let it attract zombies to stand guard for me!"
"Turn all the zombies into wooden figures who can't fight back when beaten!"
Thinking of this, Lu Chong's original plan to destroy the giant mutant toadstool after the war changed instantly.
"Xiao Liu!"
"Here, please give your instructions, Chief!"
"Send a message to the frontline troops. Try to avoid the dying giant mutant toadstool with your firepower. This thing is of great research value and is a treasure. It would be a shame to kill it like this!"
"Yes!"
...
Subsequently, after receiving Lu Chong's instructions and orders, the two artillery companies of the combined battalion immediately set up corresponding firing limits and avoided the bombing of Mingde Temple and surrounding areas.
After all, Chief Lu Chong has already given the order to capture the giant mutant toadstool alive!
da da da da~
Just as the rumbling sound of artillery fire was still erupting on the ground, the sound of a rotor breaking through the air was heard above the Gujianshan battlefield, piercing the navy blue sky like rolling thunder.
Since it was still shelling time, the rest of the troops of the combined battalion were just watching the show boredly, so when hundreds of overwhelming military helicopters broke through the clouds, they almost instantly attracted the attention of many combined battalion soldiers on the ground!
"Look at the planes! There are so many helicopters!" A soldier in a chemical protective suit looked up at the sky through the thick lenses of his gas mask, exclaiming with envy.
"Wow! It's so fucking spectacular! I wonder what it feels like to ride in a helicopter!"
"It's going to be awesome! This is how I want to be a soldier!"
"Look at how they fight. They just sit in the air and drop bombs. They fight the war while sitting still. It's nothing like us, who have to run around on the ground!"
Speaking of this, another old sergeant wearing an octopus head gas mask couldn't help but sigh:
"Indeed, but it's good enough now. At that time, they said they would select me to join the mobile unit, but when I got there, I found out that they used their feet to maneuver!"
Hahaha~
As soon as the words fell, the class members burst into laughter. Although everyone had heard their class monitor tell this story many times, they still couldn't help laughing every time they heard it.
Because the person speaking is the class monitor!
While he was bragging, the group of helicopters in the sky had already arrived above the tide of zombies!
"Reporting to the commander, our troops have arrived above the zombie tide. Please give us your instructions!"
The temporary commander of the fleet used communication equipment to report to Lu Chong who was far away at Zhouchuan Airport.
Hearing this, Lu Chong, who was watching the battlefield live broadcast from above, immediately gave a decisive order:
"Strike now! Repeat! Strike now!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the pilot of the leading Z-10 attack helicopter stared at the dense tide of corpses below, gripping the joystick with both hands and unlocking the fire control system.
As he manipulated the device, a cursor similar to the one used in a game appeared in his field of vision through the smart helmet. When he controlled the cursor to aim at the group of zombies in front of him, he decisively pressed the rocket launch button!
In addition to him, there were other pilots in the same group who pressed the launch button almost at the same time as him!
Praise praise praise praise ~~
The moment they pressed the rocket launch button, the 24-tube rocket launchers under the belly of the 10 Z-19 armed helicopters in the first echelon continuously fired 70mm rocket-killing bombs at an extremely fast speed!
Dense rounds of rockets, dragging long flames, streaked across the sky and smashed into the tide of zombies like a rain of fire!
In an instant, flames flashed, the earth shook violently, and fireballs rose from the ground one after another. The impact at the center of the explosion spread in concentric circles, ruthlessly blowing away the surrounding circles of zombies, depicting a hellish scene of scorched earth and death!
Praise praise praise praise ~~
However, before the first echelon of rockets had finished launching, the second echelon of 24 Z-10 armed helicopters, about a hundred meters behind them, also emitted a dense rocket whistle!
Next came the third echelon of 24 Z-19 armed reconnaissance helicopters, which were equally unwilling to lag behind. The dense rain of rockets dragged white smoke, like a rod of God whipping the world, falling into the corpse horde for divine punishment! !
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM~~
.....
The rain of fire from the sky was so dense that it looked like hail, and the ground soon turned into a sea of fire!
Large groups of zombies were devoured by the explosion, not even a hair was left. After the flames flashed, the ground was exposed with one burning charred crater after another!
At the same time, the machine guns under the bellies of the aircraft began to start up. A total of 72 armed helicopters in the sky, towing 72 23mm chain machine guns, spit out thunder at the ground. The torrential metal barrage poured down at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, as if a dam was releasing floodwaters, licking the corpses on the ground frantically!
Real 23mm machine gun shampooing!
The 23mm machine gun bullets were like dense combs, plowing through the tide of corpses as the helicopter formation flew by, stirring up a bloody storm and plowing out red gullies of flesh and blood!
The fragile bodies of the zombies were shattered by the dense metal barrage, and broken limbs flew everywhere. The entire battlefield seemed like a huge crusher, and a thousand zombies could not even put together a complete head!
Time passed by bit by bit, and with the rapid consumption of ammunition, the number of zombies was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Half an hour later, as the helicopter formation's ammunition was gradually used up, the entire battlefield quickly became quiet, with only the Type 05A 155mm self-propelled howitzer on the distant artillery position still roaring steadily.
By this time, through the real-time transmission of images by the high-altitude Falcon-7 military unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the Air Assault Brigade Staff calculated that this round of offensive had killed about 10 zombies.
One fifth less!
Lu Chong was very satisfied with this, as he killed 100,000 people in just half an hour!
Except in this "monster spawning ground" created by the giant mutant fungus, with the current military strength, there is no way to create such a huge result anywhere else!
"Have the helicopter formation return as soon as possible to restock ammunition and fuel. The artillery bombardment from the combined forces battalion will continue. Do not stop!"
"Hold the ground troops first!" Lu Chong ordered decisively after looking at the data calculations of the agency.
What ground forces? What tanks and artillery? How can steel have the ultimate firepower output efficiency?
Lu Chong did not want to use ground armored forces to engage in close combat with zombies for problems that could be solved with artillery. Apart from the low efficiency, the most important issue to consider was infection.
Lu Chong still remembers the giant mutant toadstool spores infecting him! This thing is a bit weird, so the soldiers should be less exposed to it!
If you are rich, you can use artillery fire to cover the area; if you are poor, you can use tactical interspersion!
Because the fighting has been suspended for two days, the combat supplies are now sufficiently prepared, and it is not yet time to use armored troops to infiltrate the zombie swarm!
In Lu Chong's plan, the ground troops will not be used until the battlefield is cleaned up and the work is done, so those young soldiers who are eager to establish meritorious service may be disappointed!
..
While the artillery fire was raging at Gujian Mountain, there was a person in the Zhanjiang gathering place who was also concerned about the battle situation here, even more than Lu Chong himself!
