MTL - Wasteland Commander-Chapter 125 Artillery sniper (third update, for the leader of Hjz666)
Chapter 125 Artillery Sniper (Third update, plus one update for Hjz666 leader)
Huacheng Iron and Steel Group.
Looking at the North Army Command Headquarters.
This survivor's power is slightly larger than that of Dawn City.
At the very least, Shuguang City, which currently only has the core area and the main city area, is not as big as this one.
In terms of number of people, the difference is even further.
The office buildings and dormitories of the Iron and Steel Group have now become Wangbeijun’s residential areas.
The Iron and Steel Group is surrounded by walls with a height of three meters.
A lot of sandbags were piled inside the wall to make it taller, forming a wall three meters high and three meters thick.
Of course, the strength of this wall is far from comparable to that of the Dawn Army, but in their opinion it is enough.
After all, zombies have no intelligence and do not know how to proactively search for humans on a large scale. Walls that are too high are useless.
Wangbei Army has the largest armed force in the entire Huacheng area, with more than 7,000 armed personnel.
Their armed personnel were a brigade, with Zhang Zhiguo's younger brother Zhang Zhijian as the brigade commander.
Don't underestimate this brigade. All personnel are equipped with guns, and they also have up to ten armored vehicles and many other vehicles.
But now there are only nine armored vehicles, one of which is being held in Dawn City.
These days, the Northern Army here is also very nervous.
Ever since they learned that the Dawn Army was attacked by zombies, they have been in this tense state.
At this moment, Zhang Zhijian was listening to the radio inside the headquarters of Wangbei Army.
That was the broadcast from the North-Wang Army.
“This is the Dawn Army…”
“The battle has entered its second day. Yesterday, the Dawn Army achieved a brilliant result, annihilating as many as 150,000 zombies. Victory is close at hand.”
“The commander-in-chief, Mr. Ye Fan, stated that the Dawn City defense battle will be concluded within two days.”
“We have the confidence, determination, and strength to win the war against zombies, but we spurn those shameless betrayers.”
"More than a thousand people from the Survivor Alliance escaped from the battlefield. This despicable act deeply hurt the hearts of our Dawn Army. They must be held responsible for this matter..."
“If the Survivor Alliance cannot give us a reasonable explanation and statement, we will not hesitate to fight..."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhijian turned off the radio angrily.
“Zhang Xiaofei, tell me! Are there so many zombies going to Dawn City?”
"Second leader, there is absolutely no mistake. The number of zombies is at least 300,000. Didn't some people who survived these days say it on the radio? Countless people have seen it with their own eyes."
“Then how can the Dawn Army be so strong? They can actually annihilate 150,000 zombies in one day. Could it be that they are invincible?”
Zhang Xiaofei remained silent, recalling the scenes in Dawn City in his mind.
The fear of being dominated by the big octopus in the end has been deeply imprinted on his soul.
In his opinion, I am afraid that no one has the ability to match Ye Fan. Let alone annihilating 300,000 people, he also believes that the Dawn Army can annihilate 3 million people.
Of course you can't talk to Zhang Zhijian about these things, Zhang Xiaofei still has some sense.
Having told Ye Fan all the secrets of Wangbei Army, he has no other choice.
Zhang Zhijian is still angry: "The Shuguang Army is so brave! They dare to threaten our Wangbei Army? Don't they just want gold? I won't give it to them."
Zhang Xiaofei asked tentatively: "Do you want to ask the big leader?"
Zhang Zhijian glanced at Zhang Xiaofei coldly: "Don't disturb my brother if you have nothing to do. He needs to rest now."
"All right."
"Remember, I have the final say over Wangbei Army now. If Ye Fan wants to become king in Huacheng, he has asked me, Zhang Zhijian."
Zhang Zhijian waved his hand and asked Zhang Xiaofei to go down. He sat on the chair and thought for a while, then picked up the walkie-talkie and called someone.
The man came to Zhang Zhijian: "Second leader, do you want to contact Mr. Rikov of Rakshasa?"
Zhang Zhijian waved his hand: “It’s not necessary yet.”
“Send a notice and invite the bosses of other forces in the alliance to come to see the Northern Army to discuss matters and discuss together how to deal with the Dawn Army.”
The men left, and Zhang Zhijian was alone in deep thought.
“Ye Fan, I admit that you have some methods of dealing with zombies, but dealing with people is another matter. If you want to bite a piece of meat from my body, let’s see if you have such good teeth.”
************
Ye Fan is not as good at dealing with zombies as Zhang Zhijian thought.
The battle in Dawn City on the second day was extremely fierce.
When the first batch of 30,000 cannon fodder of zombies advanced, the rocket launchers on Ye Fan's side began to show their power.
“Don’t let these zombies get close to the city wall. Not all zombies are qualified to be stepping stones.”
Ten rocket launchers started roaring wildly.
Wang Huining made a mistake.
He thought it was impossible for Ye Fan to maintain too strong firepower. After all, this was not a military camp. Where did the Dawn Army's ammunition come from?
So he let the first batch of zombies advance quickly, and the distance was inevitably a little closer.
Such a relatively dense formation is what rocket launchers like best.
Two consecutive rounds of bombings caused heavy damage to the first batch of cannon fodder.
Hundreds of rockets exploded among the zombies, and over 10,000 zombies were turned into ashes in this round of bombardment.
Wang Huining hurriedly ordered the first batch of zombies to disperse, but the number had been greatly reduced.
It was not easy to get close to the Shuguang Army City, and there were mines here again!
Looking at the continuous explosions, Wang Huining knew that his first strategic intention would not be achieved.
Finally getting through the mine array, only a few of this group of zombies were able to rush under the city wall.
It did not play the role of being piled up under the city wall at all.
“Damn Ye Fan, he still had reservations after such a fierce battle yesterday!”
“Forget it, as long as the city wall is broken, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worth it. After laying down the Dawn Army base, I can go around anywhere and raise an army of 300,000 people again.”
Wang Huining had no choice but to order the second batch of zombies to continue charging.
This batch of zombies is completely different from the first batch.
There was not a single mutation in the first batch. Among the 30,000 zombies, the number of mutated zombies exceeded 1,500.
Let the zombies spread out the formation. The mutated zombies should pay attention to protecting themselves, and then start charging again.
“Are there any more shells for the rocket launcher?” Ye Fan asked Zhongjing.
“There are still some refreshed ones that have not been used, and the spare ones have not been used yet.”
“Okay, beat some of the unused ones, and don’t use the spare ones for now.”
"clear!"
The Dawn Army fired again, but this time the firepower was far less powerful than the first time.
The rocket launchers were mixed with mortars. After a few blasts, they killed about two thousand zombies and then stopped firing.
This made Wang Huining, who was very afraid of the power of artillery, overjoyed.
He has never dared to invest on a large scale, and is worried about the opponent's artillery fire.
Now it seems that this worry is no longer necessary.
“It seems that the Dawn Army has run out of ammunition and food!”
“The third batch, follow the second batch!”
The third group who had been waiting behind followed them.
Because the firearms have a short range, the third group gathered together and advanced recklessly before entering the firearms range.
It doesn't matter if the second batch of zombies falls, it just creates a path to the city wall for the third batch that follows closely behind.
So the distance between the two batches of zombies is getting closer and closer, and the third batch is denser.
Ye Fan who was on the city wall was overjoyed when he saw this scene.
Sure enough, the bald zombie was fooled.
It is normal to be fooled. Even if the bald man is mutated, his mind is just that of an ordinary person, so it cannot be considered a perfect strategy.
“Bazooka ready!”
“Mortar ready!”
Most of Ye Fan's rocket launchers have two stars, and the five newly produced ones are about to reach one star.
Mortars are all three-star mortars, lined up in front of the rocket launchers.
“Target, the vanguard of the third batch of zombies, while killing the enemy, block them from reinforcing the second batch!”
“Put it on~~!”
Following Zhongjing’s order, artillery fire rang out again!
At this time, the third batch of zombies was about three or four kilometers away from the city wall, which was exactly within the killing range of artillery fire.
Hundreds of rockets roared into the sky, dealing a fatal blow to the third batch of incoming zombies!
A long explosion swept across the earth!
Countless zombies were killed on the spot with their limbs flying everywhere!
Seeing this scene, Wang Huining almost bit off his tongue!
The Dawn Army actually still has artillery shells!
Is their Dawn City built on top of the arsenal?
He urgently ordered the third group of zombies to stop, because there were still King Kong and Creepers there, mixed in the large group of zombies, and they could not be blown up by artillery.
He must separate the King Kong and the Creepers from the corpses, spread out the formation, and then move forward.
But this adjustment will also be delayed.
The Dawn Army immediately focused its firepower on the second batch of zombies.
After a round of bombardment, the rocket launcher adjusted its muzzle, and then gave a round of carpet bombing to the second batch of zombies that were about to approach the city wall.
The remaining zombies continued to advance and entered the range of the machine gun.
This is a journey of death. When faced with human thermal weapons, these zombies have no good solution. They can only rely on their numerical advantage to charge forward.
Gunshots kept ringing out, and zombies fell on the road ahead one after another.
The value of their death is to allow their companions to take a few more steps forward.
At this stage, the sniper’s task is the heaviest.
The Dawn Army now has thirty snipers. Their mission is to leave as many mutated zombies as possible on the path of the zombie charge, and to prevent them from getting close to the city wall.
In a battle of this intensity, the sniper’s star rises quickly.
Even a newly created sniper will be promoted quickly, and the bullets will be replenished almost automatically before they are used up.
Fifteen hundred mutated zombies, of which no more than 300 can rush nearby.
After all, there were as many as 30,000 in number. After paying the price of more than 10,000 zombies, this second wave finally charged under the city wall.
The infantry soldiers of the Dawn Army opened fire, and bullets, flames, and grenades continued to pour down from the city wall.
Zombie corpses began to pile up layer by layer.
The armored zombies started throwing again, and the rocket launchers and anti-aircraft infantry on the city wall opened fire.
The anti-aircraft infantry's man-portable missiles are now used as rocket launchers.
A single missile is shot out with a long tail, which can easily blow an armor to pieces.
Even if there are zombies thrown in occasionally, they will be wiped out by the military dog team inside.
The second wave of zombies just played the role of the first wave of zombies and accumulated under the city wall.
Without the reinforcements of the third wave of zombies, these 30,000 zombies were wiped out under the attack of the Dawn Army.
Wang Huining's intention was not achieved and he lost an excellent opportunity to attack the city wall.
The third batch of zombies charges again, but it’s still unknown how much they will lose on the road.
When the last agile zombie was killed, Ye Fan, who had been watching the battle, released his clenched hand.
The palms of my hands were full of sweat.
“Great, the number of zombies is less than 100,000!”
