Chapter 24. Building Defenses

The originally beautiful garden was rudely destroyed by the engineer shovel. Seven or eight Marines were busy in full swing. With each blow, they dug out a lot of soil with the engineer shovel and put it into a linen bag on the side.

Solid earthen sandbags.

Four armed pickup trucks were parked not far away, but the "M2HB" Browning heavy machine gun on the rear compartment had disappeared. However, looking up at the four corners of the roof, one could see that it was already in more than a dozen sandbags.

, firmly set up there!

The dark and cold heavy machine gun had already been removed from the pickup truck, and the soldiers worked together to carry it to the top of the building to serve as a more powerful fire attack on the four corners.

The "M2HB" Browning heavy machine gun is actually not heavy. With the tripod, the total weight is only 58 kilograms. Three people can easily lift it up. Even if you need to arm a pickup truck when going out, you can easily move it again.

Come down and install it.

Not only that, even the entire two-story building was renovated by soldiers using sandbags and wooden boards.

The windows on the first floor of the entire house have been tightly blocked by sandbags. Sometimes the physical fitness of virus-infected bodies is one to two times that of normal humans, and can almost compare with well-trained special soldiers to overcome these obstacles.

Windows are really not a big deal to them.

Especially on both sides of the door facing the street defense line, there are more than a dozen sandbags piled up to form two simple machine gun sentry towers. Two RPD light machine guns are being set up on tripods, and they are firmly secured by two soldiers.

Hold it in your hand.

Not only the first floor, but even the windows on the second floor were half covered with sandbags. Half of the slender barrel of the G3A4 assault rifle was exposed. Looking at it, you can see the cold eyes of the Marine Corps.

Watch carefully downstairs for any enemies that may approach!

"Soldier, is there anything suspicious?"

Walking on the second floor, every room has been simply renovated, especially a large number of sandbags. Even the only staircase in the room has been piled up to form a low wall. This is to prevent the ground floor from being occupied.

It is an important firepower point that can be resisted from the only staircase when occupied by virus-infected bodies.

"No sir! Everything is normal!" A Marine who was patrolling the corridor with a gun immediately stood still, clenched his G3A4 assault rifle in front of Edward, puffed up his chest and replied firmly: "No one can

Break through our defenses!"

Although he patrols indoors, if he encounters an enemy at any window, he will immediately rush over to provide fire support. After all, the melee combat ability of the virus-infected body can be said to be very powerful, and it also has the effect of virus infection. Edward does not dare to take it lightly.

Put it in.

"Very good, continue patrolling!" Edward nodded. Although he knew that the soldiers recruited by the system would patrol and defend faithfully, he was in a state of war and couldn't help but conduct an inspection himself to feel at ease.

After all, today's army already has a size of 44 people. With these basic equipment and configurations, even in the previous life, it was a firepower-enhanced platoon level. This is the force that Edward depends on for survival, and there is no room for him to be incompetent.

careful!

The staircase leading to the third floor is a vertical staircase that goes straight up and down. There are two rangers holding AKS-74u submachine guns holding the handles next to it. When they saw Edward coming, they immediately saluted: "Hello, Your Majesty Commander!"

"Oh, of course, please let me go up if you can." Wei extended his hand in return, and Edward smiled and pointed to the vertical ladder. As the top of the second floor, it can be said to be the most important place for the army now.

Not only are heavy machine guns placed on it, but sniper positions and mortar positions are also placed on it, especially the three British-made L9A151mm mortars, which now represent Edward's only artillery support!

The gap between troops with mortars and those without mortars is simply heaven and earth! The 51mm mortar has a range of up to 800 meters, but an artillery that can fire direct fire attacks will be hit even if it is hiding behind a bunker.

After being bombarded until death, come out and hide in the defensive position, otherwise you will not be able to hide at all!

You must know that even if you hide in an ordinary house, high-explosive mortar shells will penetrate the fragile wooden roof. If the mortars have calibrated the shooting distance and direction and continue to fire in threes and twos, even the house will be destroyed.

Destroyed most of them!

"How's it going? Did you find anything unusual?"

Edward stood on the top of the second floor. In the middle was a mortar position facing three directions, on the four corners were heavy machine gun positions, and on the four lines were sniper positions composed of the Alpha Special Forces.

"Everything is fine!" When Liukov saw Edward arriving, he immediately put away his sniper rifle and stood up and replied: "Although we found many enemies, there are no signs of attacking us!"

"Everything is fine!" Levski also stood up and greeted Edward with a smile. As a member of the Armored Group Army, Levski is a good gunner. Even if mortars are different from howitzers and cannons,

But it didn't bother him.

Edward came to the direction close to the residential area. Under the gloomy sky, only a few lights could illuminate it. Lonely houses stood on both sides of the road. There was no human habitation at all, and there was no sign of any life activity. Some were just dead-like silence.

"It's really evil..."

Sighing slightly, Edward shook his head and turned around. The deathly silence did not reassure Edward, because hidden inside were countless virus-infected bodies with perverted wisdom that could tear them apart alive.

Especially now, in this town where guns are prevalent, there is no virus-infected body with guns. It is obviously a strange thing. Thinking that the virus-infected body still has some human wisdom and brains, Edward still feels a little uneasy in his heart.

.

"Sir, sometimes I notice that there are enemies in certain buildings."

Liukov paused for a moment, then interrupted Edward's contemplation. He pointed to the house not far away and said softly: "Sometimes I don't know if it's an illusion, but I can even feel someone touching the window.

Watch us."

"Watching us from the window?" Edward squinted slightly and looked at the house pointed by Liukov, which was exactly opposite to the house he was standing on, the two-story house on the right side of the street.

Levsky nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, during the few hours we came up to set up defenses, I felt more than once that there was something hiding in the dark, secretly spying on us. This is a very...

Bad feeling."

The house on the right is almost exactly the same as the house when it was not occupied. The windows are blocked by thick curtains, and nothing inside can be seen clearly. There is no life or movement at all.

Just dead silence.

The virus-infected body has already wiped out everything. Even human pets may have become nutrients in the bodies of those lunatics to maintain the survival of the virus!

"That's something worth noting."

Edward looked at it coldly, but just when he wanted to turn his head, he found that the curtain in the corner shook slightly, and as he looked over, it turned into the same white curtain as before.

"Everyone should be on alert, and fire immediately if you find a suspicious target!" After swallowing slightly, Edward raised his hand to hold the intercom in front of his shoulder, and said softly: "Any enemy who appears, as long as they show hostile actions, are allowed to go free without application.

Fire!"

"clear!"

Everyone's voices came out over the intercom, with a firmness and coldness. They are all real elite soldiers. Even if the enemy is an almost sci-fi virus infection, it is actually no different to them!

Just take aim and gently pull the trigger, and a bullet will come out, instantly giving the virus-infected person who should have gone to hell a ticket to hell!

In fact, compared to real war, soldiers are not afraid of these guys. In addition to being able to infect the enemy, this virus-infected body is not afraid of death and is not afraid of all kinds of harm. It is not even comparable to the same level of special forces.

is much more dangerous!

Even though these madmen seem powerful, they are still extremely fragile under the power of bullets!

"However, you must be careful at night!"

Edward looked coldly at the empty environment around him, and suddenly realized that if there were no lights at night, the field of vision would only be reduced to a distance of about ten meters, because the thick dark clouds in the sky would directly block the natural moonlight at night.

"Searchlights must be one at all four corners!"

After thinking about it, Edward made up his mind. Soldiers without night vision equipment would obviously not be able to observe the environment in the dark night more than ten meters away. And at night, I am afraid that heavy machine guns that rely on their range advantage will become blind.

Unable to provide effective fire support

Edward immediately closed his eyes and opened the simple exchange interface. In the accessories category, there were many small lighting equipment specially used on tanks, armored vehicles and even self-propelled artillery. If illuminated, the distance could even reach more than ten kilometers.

Although the price of 1,000 points is not cheap, Edward still confirmed the purchase for the sake of his vision at night. However, thanks to the gasoline generator he found in the house before, there is obviously no need to pay additional points for energy supply.

.

"The temporary command headquarters is beginning to take shape!"

Looking at the soldiers who were busy installing small searchlights on the four corners of the house, Edward licked his lips. He suddenly realized that if it was not urgent, it seemed to be a good idea to build the entire house into a small fortress.

Edward looked at the options in the simple summon interface. Among them were cement, gravel, yellow sand and even steel bars and other construction materials. In addition, there were also a lot of steel plates available in the town. If possible, he could really build it.

A solid, semi-permanent defense fortress!
