Chapter 841: Hope and Despair (Explosion 3)
Seeing the Self-Salvation Army troops appearing in the distance, the defenders of the oil city on the city wall suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers.
"Oh my God, look, it's the reinforcements from the Iron Fort, they're arriving! They're coming to us! ”
"I really didn't expect it to be them who came to the rescue! They really came from so far away! ”
"God really didn't abandon us, and sent the people of the Iron Keep to save us! We are saved! ”
"The people of the Iron Castle are really good, worthy of our compatriots! They are real heroes! ”
"Brothers, kill! Reinforcements are coming, drive these zombie scraps down! ”
"Good! Avenge the fallen brethren! ”
"Kill all the zombies!"
“……”
Maybe it was the feeling of being in a desperate situation, which made them all burst out with huge potential, and their combat power soared instantly, and there was a tendency to suppress the zombies in an instant.
At this time, the forces of the Iron Citadel were still slowly approaching.
There was also an immediate reaction in the zombie army. Dozens of zombie thousand-person phalanxes turned around in unison, and nearly 20,000 zombie troops rushed straight to the two regiments of the Salvation Army.
The distance between the two sides was less than 1 km, and the troops of the Self-Salvation Army stopped, lined up in four rows, and began to prepare for firing in a four-row formation.
"Knock knock knock ......" is like the sound of thousands of horses galloping, and it is like a heart-warming raindrop war drum.
Now that it's late April, the speed of the zombies has basically recovered, and it is extremely fast, rushing straight to the troops of the salvation army.
And at this moment, the cannon corpse among the zombies had already attacked first.
Their attack range can exceed 1 kilometer, and dozens of zombie bombs have been projected out of their formations when the zombie infantry charged, and smashed into the position of the self-rescue army in an arc in the air.
"Watch your defense!"
The officers reminded loudly.
The warriors were experienced, and most of them took out their shields one after another, and connected them together to form a shield wall.
The sharpshooters in the unit had already raised their guns and pointed their guns at the zombie bombs that were being dropped from a distance.
These zombie bombs are generally the size of a volleyball, and although they are not slow, they are far worse than real shells. There is still a certain chance of intercepting it halfway.
"Puff puff ......"
The snipers in the ranks have already opened fire. More than 100 snipers exploded more than half of the zombie bombs in mid-air in an instant.
The remaining half, about 15 zombie bombs, were not hit by the snipers of the Self-Rescue Army, they landed smoothly, and there was an explosion.
"Boom ......"
The explosion of these zombie bombs is no less powerful than that of human grenades.
However, the accuracy of the zombie bombs is greater than the error of human artillery, and most of the 15 zombie bombs that landed smoothly fell eight or nine meters away from the front and back of the self-rescue army's position, and the damage was very limited.
Falling closely, most of the shrapnel from the explosion was also blocked by the shield array of the self-rescue army soldiers in a "clanging bell", not to mention that there were Chen Yuan and others on the position, and there were also many means of defense. So in the first round of zombie shelling, only six soldiers in the position of the self-rescue army were accidentally injured by shrapnel from zombie bombs.
And now the Self-Salvation Army also has a potion to treat the enhanced zombie virus, so it's not a big deal.
On the other hand, the zombie infantry is still charging.
800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters.
has already entered the effective range of the self-rescue army's weapons, this time Chen Yuan did not wait for the zombies to approach, and directly issued an attack order.
"Fire!"
"Puff puff ......"
A large number of assault rifle shots, and in the dense zombie charging formation 400 meters away, many zombies were immediately hit by bullets and fell to the ground.
However, if you want to rely on such firepower to block the 20,000 elite zombies who have recovered their speed of action, it is wishful thinking.
Moreover, there are cannon corpses among the zombies, and their attack range.
The zombie hordes are still charging at a rapid pace. The distance was soon approaching 300 meters.
On the wall of the oil city in the distance, after the efforts of the defenders, and because of the distraction of the corpse general, most of the zombies who rushed to the city wall here have been successfully driven down. Only the fortified species and the ice mutant zombie were still fighting the defenders on the walls.
However, at this time, Du Mei was also frightened when she saw that the self-rescue army troops in the distance were about to be rushed to the front of the battle by the zombie group.
The troops of the Self-Salvation Army are on the plains, there are no walls, no obstacles, only 3,000 men and horses, if so many zombies rush into the position, it will definitely be a disaster.
However, when the zombie group was more than 300 meters away from the troops of the Self-Rescue Army, Chen Yuan issued an order to retreat to the troops.
At this time, although due to the improvement of shooting accuracy, the charging speed of the zombie group has slowed down. But the troops of the Self-Rescue Army have also come within range of the zombie archers. Many zombie archers have already raised their bows and arrows!
Today's self-rescue army troops have no fortifications, and even if there is a shield array, it is not comfortable to directly face the rain of bows and arrows from zombies. Moreover, the real purpose of these bow and arrow attacks was originally to disrupt the shooting of the self-rescue army and help the zombie infantry rush up.
"It's all there, stop the attack immediately, get up and retreat to the rear position at full speed!"
So the troops of the self-help army stopped shooting in an instant, and all of them got up and ran away quickly.
This scene couldn't help but surprise the unknown defenders of Oil City.
Du Mei's secretary was even more anxious and stomped her feet, and said angrily: "I knew they were just here to make a show!" The troops of the Iron Castle are also as timid as rats, and they hurriedly flee when they encounter such a few zombies, a group of misgerans. If they're like this, it's better not to come to the rescue at all! ”
Du Mei shook her head and said, "You can't say that." After all, they really came, and because of their appearance, the morale of our side was greatly boosted, and most of the zombies were successfully driven off the city wall again. They also helped us attract a lot of zombies! So we still have to thank them. It's better than those forces that sound good on their mouths, but haven't appeared yet. ”
At this time, Du Mei also didn't know Chen Yuan's plan. Who told that when the war was tense, even their correspondents went to the front with them!
******
The soldiers of the Self-Salvation Army ran very fast, and even the soldiers with the worst level of reinforcement could sprint at least as fast as ordinary zombies.
As for the faster flying corpses and crawling corpses among the zombies, etc.
Those fighters who run fast, after running out of a section first, will naturally stop and provide cover for their comrades behind.
Therefore, the self-rescue army unit responsible for luring the zombies successfully withdrew to the preset temporary position. Here, nearly 400 combat vehicles lined up in a line according to Chen Yuan's orders, forming a steel defense line. And the zombies behind are still chasing.
The 1st Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the Special Service Brigade, the Mortar Battalion were all ready for battle.
