"No, I can't tell her myself, I have to find someone to be my scapegoat."
Li Zhi thought to himself. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and left, walking towards the command room.
Huang Quan, Huang Tingwei, and the others were looking at the sand table in the command room, listening to the intelligence reports from the nearby scouts.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang came in, Huang Quan and Huang Tingwei stood at attention, looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang, waiting for his orders.
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked to the sand table that they had hastily made. On the sand table, small trenches could be seen clearly, and the important places were the minefields that they had buried before, as well as the front where the zombies were attacking. Numerous shallow trenches and tripwires were also marked.
The entire defensive position was divided into three layers, the first layer was no man's land, there were only landmines and a small number of incendiary bombs, there was nothing else. The entire front line was filled with trenches of different depths, tightly wrapping around the second and third layers.
The second layer was the real defensive line, not only were there a large number of heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, there was also a total of two thousand riflemen, at least when the zombies approached, they would be the main force facing the zombies.
The third layer of defense was the tightest, it was also the center of the entire battlefield, the four thousand infantry, artillery, and mortar platoons were the supporting points of the entire line of defense.
More than thirty 76 mm field cannons and 85 mm cannons were the main long-range attack force, there were also more than thirty mortars at the front to supplement the firepower.
In addition to this, there were more than thirty 37 mm cannons and ten quadruple mounts as the firepower nodes of the third layer of defense, their only task was to fire the ammunition piled up beside them.
The entire defensive position was layered, it was more than three kilometers deep, Zhang Xiaoqiang hoped to use this three kilometer depth to block the zombies for two to three days. So far, they had transported half of the survivors, plus all the logistics and combat personnel such as Wang Le, the only ones left were the resistance and the twenty thousand men.
The escape route that Zhang Xiaoqiang had prepared was the thirty meter wide, two meter deep trench behind him, there were three tons of napalm bombs inside, of course, the amount of gasoline used was far more than that. The trench was just a gate, behind the gate were countless napalm bombs, as long as the zombies covered it, the napalm would naturally ignite, and with a big pit and two blockades, the hundred thousand zombies would be burned in the shortest time.
In addition, there were large amounts of plastic, rubber, and industrial materials piled up in the trench, it was believed that when the time comes, the poisonous gas and smell would cause more damage to the zombies behind.
"Everything is in place?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang asked Huang Quan and Huang Tingwei, both of them nodded and replied in unison, "Everything is in place …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, turned to look at the battle line outside, the battle line outside extended continuously, until it reached the barbed wire behind the first line of defense. Looking at the zombies behind the barbed wire gradually approaching, Zhang Xiaoqiang sneered.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not give the order to open fire, although the range of the thirty-six cannons was far more than three kilometers, the operators of the cannons, not to mention Zhang Xiaoqiang, even the artillery commander Ding Jianwei did not trust them. Ding Jianwei previously only had a 76 mm cannon, although it was a large team of 200 people, but not everyone could operate the cannon, most of them were loading, pulling the door, and adding fuses to the shells.
Piecing together, he could only ensure that four 85 mm cannons could be operated normally, the other cannons could only ensure that they would not hit his head. Moreover, the artillery position was very wide, he could not personally calibrate each cannon, so he could only hope that when the cannons fired at the same time, they would be able to return their power.
The zombies slowly approached, the momentum was like the tide, the formation was like the sea, the dark mass of zombies rushing over was shocking, but it did not scare Zhang Xiaoqiang and his soldiers, it was very simple, they had seen it many times, they had gotten used to it. In the second line of defense, the soldiers who were preparing to stop the zombies were still pointing at the zombies, obviously, these days of good food and drinks had restored their morale to the best state.
In the silence, the zombies slowly advanced, countless footsteps rubbing against the ground, wave after wave surged towards the position. If it was the survivors who had not experienced such a big battle, they would have been scared to the point of peeing their pants. The soldiers in the first line of defense were looking at the zombies excitedly, waiting for them to step into the prepared minefield.
The depth of the minefield was five hundred meters, twelve thousand different types of mines were all placed in the narrow position, the eye-catching red markings indicated the mines, they were not buried in the ground, they were just placed on the ground, like army green chess pieces, the chess pieces had different styles, in general there were three types, pressure mines, jumping mines, and anti-infantry mines.
There were a lot of zombies in the vanguard, but they were relatively scattered. The scattered zombies staggered towards the camp, and the distance between them was very large. Seeing those scattered zombies, many people secretly rejoiced that they had made preparations in advance. Otherwise, a landmine would have blown up a zombie, and it would not have been worth it.
Although the zombies staggered, they walked very firmly, with an indomitable momentum, they did not hesitate to rush into the huge trench in front of the minefield. The trench was not wide, about five meters, the depth was also not much, just four meters, it was full of inverted steel bars, the zombies jumped in, there was not even a place for them to stand, they were directly hung on the steel bars.
After being hung on the steel bars, the zombies did not die immediately, they were still stretching their arms and legs, but when the zombies behind them fell, they all became meat skewers on the steel bars.
The zombies continued to rush into the big hole, the big hole was filled up at an alarming speed, not long after, the big hole disappeared, countless zombies stepped on the bodies of their own kind and rushed into the minefield.
The time that the pit could delay was not long, it was only about half an hour, but it was enough for the zombies at the back to become denser. The densely packed zombies rushed into the minefield, stepping on the bouncing mines and walking over. Seeing that the landmines did not work, many people were surprised. This was something that they did not expect. They suspected that the landmines had lost their effectiveness.
Only Zhang Xiaoqiang and Huang Quan knew the truth, and Wang Le who modified the tripping device, they changed the tripping device of the mines, using steel wires to pull it to the pressure mine area a hundred meters away.
Countless zombies rushed into the pressure mine area, the steel wires were kicked by the feet of the zombies, it seemed that countless mines jumped from the zombies, when the mines jumped to a height of more than two meters, the zombies' heads were shrouded in flames and smoke, after a loud sound, countless zombies' brains were split, yellow brain matter flowed out, they all fell to the ground together.
Before the vanguard zombies could step into the minefield, 3000 ricocheting grenades detonated at the same time. Countless zombies fell to the ground one after another. When a large piece of land appeared, the scattered vanguard zombies all rushed into the second trench.
Before this, they had calculated that there wouldn't be a lot of zombies left. Naturally, they wouldn't let the zombies destroy the second minefield. Therefore, they took advantage of the fact that the zombies couldn't see. They continued to dig holes, letting the zombies exhaust all the scattered zombies in the big hole. There wasn't enough time, otherwise, Zhang Xiao Qiang would have brought people to dig a hundred or even a thousand holes.
