If they were hit by the machine guns, the zombies would be smashed to pieces. By the time the broken limbs fell to the ground, it would be impossible to tell if it was an arm or a leg. The zombies would also be blocked at a distance of 200m. Even if there were some scattered zombies that managed to break through the blockade, they would be shot to death by the concentrated rifle fire. They would fall to the ground, unable to move, and could only squirm like maggots.
Countless zombies were shredded to pieces by the anti-aircraft machine guns and the 37/7 cannons. Waves of black residue flew into the sky and spread out, covering the zombies below. A huge explosion sounded in the group of zombies. In the midst of the flames, rows of zombies fell on the path of the charge.
Over a thousand shells were shot out, and countless shell casings piled up to form a small mountain. At this time, a group of a few hundred men rushed into the camp, and picked up the shell casings one by one. They put them in their pockets and ran out. Other than picking up the shell casings, there were even more men who rushed to the front line of heavy firepower to collect the empty shell casings.
The front line was temporarily stabilized, and a series of flames ignited in the trenches in front of the camp. Not only in front of the camp, all the trenches that the zombies passed through were ignited by the petrol bombs that were buried in advance. The corpses were the best combustible material.
When the D2 zombies started to show signs of discomfort, more S2 zombies swarmed in, and behind them were countless evolved zombies. The Z2 zombies' trump card had finally reached the front.
In the distance, countless zombies were still rushing in, and the formation that had been thinned out by the thousands of shells became thick again. The shells were still whistling in the air, and continued to explode among the zombies. Groups of zombies fell, and groups of zombies flew into the sky. However, the sea of zombies did not fall into chaos, and quietly endured the bombardment.
The logisticians brought a large amount of food and water to the front of the formation. The soldiers on the frontline took turns to eat. The flames also turned the zombies into human-shaped torches. Many of the human-shaped torches did not seem to feel the pain of being burned, as they walked towards the formation step by step. However, the soldiers did not care about them, and only aimed at the zombies behind them to attack. This continued until sparks fell from the human-shaped torches, splashing onto the ground to form a path of survival. If one of their feet missed, they would fall into the burning trench in front of them and become fuel.
Seeing those people, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not say anything. In the camp, they had dropped over a million shell casings, and here, Wang Le wished he could take back every single shell.
The chaotic zombies filled the entire space, and they collided with each other, squeezing against each other. Due to the lack of space, some of the stronger zombies pushed and shoved the zombies beside them, causing many zombies to be trampled under their feet.
The sound of the cannons did not stop for a moment, and from time to time, it would explode within the sea of zombies. The messy shells would land here and there, adding to the chaos of the zombies. At that moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang was full of confidence that they could hold on for two days.
There were 36 cannons, and each cannon had a truck loaded with shells. 36 5-ton trucks were loaded with 180 tons of shells. In the artillery camp, the naked Ding Jianwei, who was only wearing his underwear, shouted until his voice was hoarse. His body was black from the smoke, and there was an oily sheen to it. Under his subordinates, the thousands of people in the artillery team all looked the same as him, all of them were black, almost the same as the zombies they were attacking.
This time, the zombies were truly determined to fight to the death. The Z2 zombies that received damage were scared, and countless zombies surged towards them. Even if all the firearms and heavy firepower were fired at the same time, it would not be able to stop the tide of zombies. Countless evolved zombies were mixed in with the ordinary zombies, and there were even some Type 2 zombies. It was obvious that the Z2 zombies had used up all of their strength.
When the sea of zombies steadied themselves, they suddenly spread out, and countless zombies pounced towards the front line. As the zombies charged past the piles of corpses towards the front line, the shells rained down continuously. Up until now, each cannon had fired at least 200 shells. At this time, it was still dusk, and according to the retreat plan, this was already the third day. By tomorrow morning, the number of people that had been evacuated across the river would have reached 60,000, and the remaining people would definitely be evacuated by the morning of the day after tomorrow. As for Zhang Xiaoqiang and the rest, they only needed to hold on until tomorrow night. At that time, they would ignite the napalm to ensure their retreat.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know if there would be zombies with big bellies appearing, but he did not expect the napalm to be able to kill many zombies. He only needed the flames to illuminate the entire battlefield.
The sea of zombies continued to charge forward without a care in the world. A tall figure charged towards the front line, and in an instant, countless bullets were fired at it. At the same time, more than 10 mortars exploded beside it.
In an instant, countless bullets were fired at the zombies. Although half of the zombies were hit by the bullets, the other half managed to dodge the bullets and rushed towards the soldiers in the trenches. The distance between the zombies and the soldiers was getting closer and closer. The zombies that were within 20 meters of the soldiers started to pounce, and without exception, before the zombies could even get up, their heads were pierced by the bullets.
At this time, the heavy firepower stopped, and the long period of firing forced the operators to cool down the weapons. Otherwise, by the next day, these weapons would have become scrap metal.
In an instant, the corpses of hundreds of S2 zombies were strewn about 10 meters away from the front line. Behind the zombies, countless steel wires were suspended about 30cm above the ground. The steel wires were buried in the ground, and the steel wires were the main culprit behind the zombies' deaths.
The zombies were still closing in, and even with the heavy machine guns firing, it was not enough to stop the agile S2 zombies. It was still the steel wires. Although the S2 zombies had enough charging power, they were unable to break the steel wires, and fell into the most simple trap.
The trenches were useless against the agile S zombies. Even the flames could not stop them. Other than a small number of S zombies that were unlucky enough to jump into the fire pit, the majority of the zombies were able to reach a distance of 10 meters away from the front line in just a few jumps.
A straight pile of corpses was piled up about 200 meters away from the front line. In this place, although the rifles were not very accurate, but with the large caliber machine guns and cannons, it was no longer a problem. Even a hit on the abdomen of the zombies would be enough to tear their bodies apart.
Although the flames and bullets caused a large amount of damage to the zombies, the zombies were like a raging river, attacking the front line without stopping.
The D2 zombies that were hard to penetrate were blown up into the sky by the mortar shells. Just as they landed, the prepared Type 37 anti-aircraft cannons fired at the D3 zombies. Six thick and frightening tongues of fire exploded around the zombies, burying the zombies. When the anti-aircraft cannons stopped firing, the D2 zombies had already turned into a pile of meat paste.
It was a pity that the chaos of the zombies did not last long. After 3 hours, countless zombies retreated from the front line of defense, and established a foothold behind the first line of defense.
The shockwave created by the evolved zombies did not cause any waves, and the front line was very stable. Zhang Xiaoqiang had been observing the outside of the line of fire, observing the movements of the zombies. Suddenly, he threw away the binoculars and rushed out of the command center. At the same time, he ordered, "Fire all the heavy firepower out …."
