Volume One, Chapter 246, Gilded on the Battlefield
There is a huge reservoir to the north of Yanjing. This reservoir was successfully built by tens of thousands of people over many years. Almost half of the city's water source comes from the reservoir, and zombie poisoning was also carried out through this reservoir before.
There is no one guarding the reservoir, but a lot of surveillance is arranged to keep an eye on the movement of the reservoir 24 hours a day.
Although the geographical location of the reservoir is so important, the headquarters believes that there is no need to focus on defense here. The simplest point is that the zombies have no ability to cross the river. The water surface of the reservoir is so wide that even if the zombies want to pass through a span of several kilometers
The reservoir is also impossible, so this place does not need to be defended.
However, after testing with the ultrasonic detector of scientific researchers, there is a passage under the reservoir in the north of the city at a depth of one hundred meters! It is really difficult for ordinary detectors to detect such a deep tunnel. After all, it is almost 100 meters deep.
No one would dig, and the difficulty of digging was exaggerated. However, they never thought that the zombies would take advantage of the inertia of human thinking and dig tunnels under the reservoir. This really shocked the commanders at the headquarters.
There is a big difference between the ground in the north and the south. For example, the Luoyang shovel can be used in the north, but it does not work in the south. That is because the precipitation in the north is very little, so the stratification of the land is very obvious.
, in other words, the soil in the north is seriously hardened and it is very difficult to dig.
The further you go down, the more complicated the underground situation becomes, because the number of stones will increase. Although the Haihe Plain is suitable for planting and there is yellow soil everywhere, as long as you dig deeper, you will find a lot of stones.
There are so many stones in an area of 100 meters that it would be extremely difficult to dig!
The commanders at the headquarters did not expect to encounter such a situation at all. They frowned and asked: "One hundred meters underground, how did the zombies dig tunnels so deep underground? The tunnel is so straight, could it be possible that it encountered rocks?
Can it be dug through?"
The scientific researchers gave a reasonable explanation: "Please don't forget that there is a special kind of zombies among mutant zombies, which are spray zombies. The stomachs of these zombies are full of acid. These zombies can be corroded by acid."
The stones in the ground are also capable of digging channels by continuously spraying acid."
"So that's it!" The commander now understands how the underground passage is formed, and this passage is probably the corpse king's trump card, right? It's still the same old thing, using the corpse tide as an attraction in the front, and digging tunnels secretly
, seeing that the shallow tunnel could not be dug, he turned to digging a tunnel deep underground!
The commander recalled the "Wolf" written by Pu Songling. There was a sentence in it, "The transformation of animals is so deceptive that it only increases the laughter." Now this sentence is not bad at all when applied to the corpse king.
There are no new methods, but trying to conquer the world with one trick is to look down on human wisdom.
"We will arrange for manpower to blow up the tunnel, directly from the reservoir, and let the water in the reservoir submerge the entire tunnel. I don't believe that zombies can launch surprise attacks from the tunnel!" the commander said with a sneer.
The passages deep underground were dug by zombies in winter. These zombies did not stop even in winter. Although ordinary zombies are not suitable for action in winter, mutant zombies are a special case, which just allows these mutants to have nothing to do.
It would be best if the zombies can successfully dig tunnels.
It's a pity that the zombies underestimated the level of human technology. Even if the tunnel is less than 100 meters, humans can still detect it. Then they arranged machinery to construct in the reservoir and continued down to the bottom of the reservoir 40 meters deep. Drill holes, and when the location is suitable, install explosives and directly blow up the underground passage. Hundreds of mutated zombies died underground without being able to escape.
Explosions were being carried out on the reservoir side, while the battle started on the city wall side. Countless zombies lowered their heads and began to charge towards the city wall. It was still the same, human sea tactics. The endless zombies rushed towards the city wall, but were eventually defeated. The muzzles protruding from the city wall were shot at the bottom of the city. If a certain section of the city wall was difficult to defend, artillery support would arrive immediately. The artillery fire in the city was aimed at the zombie tide outside the city, which was a covering strike, and the ground was flattened. , the loess was peeled off twenty centimeters, and not even flies could survive, let alone zombies.
Shen Feng was also fighting intensely on his side. The zombies might not know other tactics, but they were very good at the refueling tactic. After a whole day, the attack of the zombies would not stop at all. Every direction on the city wall was There were zombies charging. Even if they were about to be killed if they rushed towards us, the zombies did not stop and charged fearlessly. It seemed that charging forward was their mission.
Shen Feng was holding Barrett to snipe mutant zombies on the city wall. He could now see the trajectory of the bullet. Although he could not avoid it, his vision was far beyond that of humans. The moment the bullet came out of the barrel, , is actually at the speed of sound. Shen Feng can see it, but his own speed cannot reach the speed of sound, so he cannot dodge the bullet.
The zombies are still charging without risking their lives, but they are falling down row by row. To be honest, the human sea tactic is of little use in front of automatic rifles. It may look quite bluffing, but it actually works. You will find that the human sea tactic has been eliminated.
While the battle was in full swing, the headquarters dispatched the Tianxuan Bureau, a group of superpowers directly affiliated with the headquarters, which were all members of the Chosen Ones, and were sent to the front lines to participate in the battle.
When Shen Feng heard about this, he couldn't help showing a sarcastic look on his face and said: "It turns out that it's gilding. It's really hard work. You can't be promoted without merit, but you can't bear to do a really dangerous task, so you can only do it." It’s time to gain experience now! Fortunately, I don’t have any superpowers from the Tianxuan Bureau here!”
Shen Feng is no longer the ignorant college student he was before. Without the protection of the school, Shen Feng directly faces the ugly world, so he learned some unfair things from many people's mouths. Among them, he has a profound understanding of gold plating. , many young people like to complain about this matter.
The so-called gold plating does not mean plating the surface of jewelry or something with gold, but means that the superiors parachute a person down, and he does not have to do anything real. He just needs to sit in the office and dawdle, and he will be transferred as soon as the time comes, and the resume There is also such experience above: I have worked at the grassroots level for many years, and I have gone deep into the masses...
And the battle on the front line is like this. Millions of soldiers guard the city wall like an iron barrel. Not to mention zombies, not even a dog can get in. Do you need superpowers to join the battle at this time? It's not even here. Gan looked at it, under such circumstances, the nobles of the Tianxuan Bureau came to the front line, that is, to increase their resume.
Shen Feng guessed that in the future resumes of these people, the following content would be added: how long they fought in the defense battle of Yanjing, how long they successfully defended the people in the city, and what kind of awards they received!
Fortunately, there were no superpowers assigned to the Tianxuan Bureau on Shen Feng's side. Otherwise, Shen Feng really didn't want to look good on them. This was somewhat influenced by Xiao Sheng.
For a long time recently, people from the Superpower Management Bureau have nothing to do. They wear masks and go shopping in the city all day long, just like abandoned students in school, so these people often come to see Shen Feng. When it comes to drinking, Shen Feng doesn't drink at all, but these people get drunk all day long.
All the more than twenty superpowers from the Tianxuan Bureau were sent to the city wall guarded by the regular army. After all, these talented people cannot die on the way. They can always get better care on the territory of the regular army. If they are sent to Places guarded by private forces may be in danger.
The zombies are desperately attacking, seemingly trying to break through the city wall of Yanjing in one go. However, the city wall erected on the plain is like an iron wall. The city wall made of reinforced concrete is not something that flesh and blood can easily break through. The zombies are rushing After coming up, you will only be killed by bullets or shrapnel.
There were seven lines of defense in Chengdu at first, which seemed like a lot. But in fact, these lines of defense were composed of low walls and trenches. In other words, such lines of defense were used to prevent breakthroughs. In the event of a large-scale attack, The zombie tide will retreat again and again, unable to cope with the offensive of the zombies digging tunnels, and there are no obstacles within the defense line. As long as one place is breached, the entire defense line will have to move back, otherwise it will be surrounded.
The defensive options on Yanjing's side are much simpler. It is meaningless to set up multiple lines of defense. Setting up one line of defense is enough! With a city wall more than 20 meters high, unless the giant attacks the city in person, there is no way to get in. And there are cannons on the city wall. Even if a giant really appears in front of us, it will only be a matter of one cannon!
As the only line of defense, the city wall seems weak, but there are all the equipment that should be on the city wall, such as infrared monitoring, searchlights, underground detectors, and city defense cannons. Once these things are installed on the city wall, zombies cannot easily get close to the city wall. , whether it is from the ground or underground, the movements of zombies can be monitored from all directions, and in the background, there are people staring at the monitor 24 hours a day, and the zombies will definitely be exposed as they advance.
Behind the city wall is a station hundreds of meters wide. After the battle, the soldiers will return to their tents to rest. This is the frontline area. Under normal circumstances, this place is prohibited from entering and exiting at will. Of course, people with supernatural powers are not within this range. Inside, they can easily do so if they want to leave the station.
Behind the station, there are many artillery positions. Artillery carts are neatly arranged on the ground, and rocket launchers are all pointed in the direction outside the city. Once the number of zombies is too large, or they approach the city wall in large numbers, these artillery carts will open fire, directly Carry out a covering strike to kill all the zombies near the city wall, and the positioning of the artillery fire is guided by satellites, so there is no chance of miss.
There are hundreds of helicopters flying into the sky in the city, constantly circling outside the city, condescending, and every move of the zombies will be discovered by the helicopters. When the number of zombies increases, the people on the helicopters will immediately contact the command center at the headquarters.
The battle lasted from day to night. Under the cover of a round of artillery fire, Shen Feng completed the defense change and retreated back to the station with his five thousand soldiers. Dinner was steamed buns and sliced meat, as well as seaweed and egg drop soup to quench his thirst.
Due to the fatigue caused by the battle during the day, Shen Feng did not go to the hospital to visit Chu Chaoyan. After hearing the vague sound of gunfire in the distance, Chu Chaoyan also knew that Shen Feng was fighting, and his worries increased. A lot.
Under the night, the fighting is still going on. From the helicopter, you can directly see that the entire Yanjing is illuminated like daylight. The power plant is working hard, and black smoke is floating in the chimneys day and night. This At that time, no one would say anything about polluting the environment. As long as we can survive, who cares about the environment?
In a place under martial law in Yanjing City, fighter jets slowly drove out from the underground. This was Yanjing's last trump card. Tens of thousands of fighter jets were ready to set off. The fighter jets were all equipped with weapons of mass destruction, whether they were Incendiary bombs, gas bombs, illumination bombs and cloud bombs have all been carried, and these fighter jets have been prepared throughout the winter.
In fact, if the number of pilots was not too small, there could be more fighter jets!
Not to mention these tens of thousands of fighter jets, even if they are increased tenfold, China's industrial base will explode, but it is really difficult to train pilots. At the time of the zombie outbreak, countless pilots turned into zombies, and the new Pilots have not yet been successfully trained, which creates a gap.
One of the young pilots looked at his squad leader and asked in a low voice: "Squad leader, we have been preparing for a month. Before, the zombies were hiding underground, and we had no place to use them. Now the zombies are crawling out of the holes. It’s out, why haven’t we taken action yet?”
The squad leader glanced at the young pilot and said calmly: "Don't ask before the opportunity comes. Do you understand?"
The young man had obviously just become a pilot. Originally, he was only a candidate, but he could not withstand the changes of the times. Many excellent pilots in the past had turned into zombies, so he, the candidate, was able to become an official pilot.
The young man's name was Wu Zhenyuan. He continued to ask: "Squad leader, I still don't know what I should do on the battlefield? I'm afraid that by then I will have forgotten everything the teacher told me. I am a very timid person..."
Before Wu Zhenyuan finished speaking, the squad leader sighed and said: "You just fly with me when the time comes. If I ask you to drop bombs, you do it. You don't have to do anything else. As a pilot, the most important task now is to drop bombs!"
When the young man heard the squad leader's words, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said helplessly: "I thought our pilots could fight in the sky like those in Macross, shooting down each other's fighter planes one by one. The white mist drawn by the tail fin formed complex patterns. Alas, I didn’t expect that these were all fake.”
The squad leader hated that iron could not become steel, so he stretched out his index finger and poked Wu Zhenyuan hard on the forehead, and said: "Can you think about it, are there fighter planes over there with the zombies? Are you still shooting down the enemy fighter planes? Don't shoot them down then. Even if I burn high incense." This chapter has been completed!
