Chapter 658 Building Fortifications
Click, click!
The broken curtain wall of the terminal collapsed in the impact of the armored vehicle, and sharp glass fragments fell like hail on the roof composite armor of the Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle.
The squad leader of Squad 2 kicked open the deformed automatic door. A shotgun blast flashed through the gaps in the bulletproof shield. An unknown tumorous creature exploded, and the splashing acid corroded honeycomb-shaped pits on the marble floor.
&34;Zone C is clean! &34;
The roar of the squad leader of No. 2 echoed in the waiting hall. Looking up and around, he saw that all around him were soldiers of the infantry squad wearing tactical helmets, gas masks, anti-gas suits, and carrying tactical backpacks.
As per their habit, they held long and short weapons equipped with tactical flashlights, and carefully shuttled through the floors of the gray and foggy terminal in tactical formations, like an army of evil spirits wandering in the dark night.
"Be careful"
bang bang bang~
As the warning sounded, accompanied by several eardrum-numbing gunshots, the steel-core bullets fired from the QBZ-191 assault rifle instantly penetrated a washbasin-sized mutant spider that fell from the dome.
...
Buzz buzz~
The sound of a violent diesel engine was heard, and the bulldozer tracks rolled over the runway full of bone fragments. Sergeant Wang Tieshan of the Combat Support Battalion stepped on the accelerator and pushed the pile of corpses all the way to the barbed wire fence of the airport.
Twenty meters ahead, half of the vertical tail of a Boeing 737 was stuck diagonally on the ground, and the aluminum alloy skin was covered with bullet holes, like a piece of iron coral that had been eaten away.
Seeing this, Wang Tieshan grabbed the intercom beside him and shouted: "Team Two! Drive the No. 34 forklift over here. We found a rebound slope!"
In addition to the metal parts of the aircraft wreckage, the landing gear tires corroded by acid blood were not wasted. The construction soldiers of the Combat Support Battalion collected them, filled them with broken glass and C4 explosives, and strung them together with barbed wire to form a booby trap belt about 3 kilometers long, which was deployed outside the airport.
The highest tower at the airport was also set up as an anti-aircraft firepower point.
The engineers used hydraulic shears to remove the explosion-proof glass of the terminal hall and built a circular shooting range outside the observation platform.
Twelve 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine guns are arranged equidistantly, and behind each firing hole is an ammunition rack converted from an aircraft dining cart.
&34;Report from the Ground Nail Team! Live eggs found in Area B! &34;
At the edge of the airport, the engineers who were setting up concertina wire suddenly retreated.
As the headlights passed, five small, wriggling hills rose up on the ground, and arthropods could be vaguely seen curled up under a translucent film.
After discovering this situation, the squad leader immediately instructed the demolition soldiers in the squad to step forward and throw a C4 explosive pack equipped with an electronic detonator into the pit.
Ten seconds later!
BOOM! ! !
As a huge explosion sounded, the engineering soldiers who had retreated and lay down 100 meters away could clearly feel the ground jump suddenly.
By the time the engineers came forward, the pits that stored the mutant eggs were just pits...
As the roar of diesel generators began to be heard in the smoking room of the terminal hall, the VIP lounge used as the brigade command post was instantly lit up by bright yellow lights.
"Xiao Wu, take someone to move four more sets of field tables and chairs over!"
"Zhang Can, on which car is the display screen placed?"
"Chief Wang, the brigade commander has issued the latest order that basic defenses must be built around the airport before dawn!"
"By the way, Xu Can, you may need to lead a team to arrange for the service support battalion to go to the nearby construction site to get construction materials!"
...
Huang Jiaqi, holding the rank of colonel, stood in front of the newly debugged ultra-high-definition LED splicing screen in the combat command room with a tired face, looking at the vibrant scene in front of him with excitement.
Gunshots were still heard from time to time in the airport, and occasionally the crazy roar of the squad machine guns could be heard.
But as time went by, the frequency of gunfire was becoming lower and lower. Huang Jiaqi was basically certain that the task of occupying Xinyi Airport was a done deal.
What needs to be done next is to report the situation to the provincial military region in a timely manner, as well as to carry out cleanup and construction.
There is no need to say much about reporting and cleanup work. The most important thing is construction. The first step is to use the wild building materials from the surrounding construction sites to build sufficiently reliable fortifications around the airport.
When it comes to construction, the problem of labor shortage arises.
Although Xinyi Airport is not a large airport, the two terminals alone cover an area of 20000 square meters, not to mention the 4C-level airfield, taxiways, aprons, etc., which is almost 20 hectares.
Therefore, if one wants to establish a defense circle at the level of a gathering place in such a large area, the manpower requirements will definitely be huge, not to mention the material resources.
The entire light combined brigade has less than 5000 people in total. It is impossible for all these 5000 soldiers and cadres to put down their guns and go to the construction site to do plastering.
Therefore, finding and protecting the survivors became the top priority of the 1st Light Combined Brigade. Only by ensuring the safety of the survivors as soon as possible can the subsequent plans be smoothly implemented.
"The permanent population of Xinyi City before the apocalypse was about 200 million. There should be a lot of survivors, but the question is how to find them?"
Under the light, half of Huang Jiaqi's face was hidden in the shadow of the camouflage training cap, and he looked a little worried.
...
At this moment, in a self-built housing area five kilometers away from the airport, a group of survivors with dark faces, like groundhogs, stood on the roof and looked towards the Xinyi Airport.
"That was a rocket launcher! It was our artillery!!"
"The army is coming! The army is coming to save us!!!"
"The army is coming..."
...
A thin middle-aged man was so excited that he was shaking as if he had the hiccups. His cracked lips trembled as he kept repeating the four words "The army is coming".
It's like telling others, but also like telling myself...
In his ears, the roar that just now filled the sky like thunder rolling over the earth still made his head buzz.
The news of the army's arrival made him dizzy and completely unbelievable...
They couldn't believe that the army they had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared on such an ordinary night! !
"Look, look, that's the light, the light of the army!"
In the direction of the airport, a searchlight accidentally swept across the night sky, and its light streaked across the night sky like a meteor, but it surprised the dozens of survivors present and brought them to tears.
It’s not an illusion, it was not an illusion just now!
The army is really coming!!
"We're going to find the army!"
"When are we going?! Wait till dawn?"
"No, go now!!" the person spoke in a firm tone.
The only hope is right before our eyes, no one dares to bet on whether the army will recapture it or just pass by...
They were afraid, afraid that this was all a dream and they would wake up at dawn!
So even though the danger of traveling at night is several orders of magnitude higher than during the day, and even if they lose their lives, they don't care...
