Even though Zhao Jun had tried his best, he was still unable to make the enemy stay. There were two reasons. The first was that Huang Jinzuoqi had been lured by Li Grassland into the prepared explosive trap area. Huang Jinzuoqi saw that there were people exchanging fire on the opposite side of the mountain. One group of people was surrounded in a col. He thought that it was Qige Qi and the others, so he charged forward together and prepared to support them.
Zhang Xiaoqiang personally led the majority of the people there to act. Qige Qi and the others were suppressed in the tunnel by two IFVs. Naturally, they did not know that Huang Jinzuoqi had come in. Therefore, when Huang Jinzuoqi rushed down the hill, the explosives were detonated. The mortars and the remaining IFVs surrounded the remaining Huang Jinzuoqi. After the baptism of several tons of explosives, the remaining people of Huang Jinzuoqi were shocked silly. After the impact, hundreds were killed, hundreds were killed, and hundreds were seriously injured. The rest were all captured, all of them were injured.
The soldiers who had previously blocked the Qie Xue Army were transferred to encircle Huang Jinzuoqi, causing the suppression force to be insufficient. Both sides combined only had the strength of two platoons, so Qige Qi risked his life to break through.
There was also Eridun and Qiguqi who had used 200% of their abilities. One of them was defending while the other was attacking. Both of them were ridiculously strong. The two of them had formed a wonderful combination to destroy the powerful IFVs. Although they had left half of their evolvers behind, they had let some of their people escape.
No one knew how many people managed to escape. The people who died were too tragic. Most of them were blasted into pieces by the machine guns. Some of them were blasted into pieces along with their own soldiers. There was also the shockwave of Qige Qi, which split the corpses of the dead into meat paste. In the end, everyone who saw the scene could not help but vomit.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not care about those who had escaped. From start to finish, they had killed more than 70% of the evolvers. Although their losses were about three times that of the evolvers, and even Zhang Xiaoqiang was seriously injured, it had almost destroyed the Golden Wolf Flag's biggest trump card. None of the four evolvers who were extremely fast had escaped. Other than Qige Qi and Eridun, the rest were mostly ordinary evolvers.
For this battle, Zhang Xiao Qiang had mobilized 5 companies, 2 garrison companies, and 3 elite companies. Other than Li Grassland's elite company that did not even lose a single hair, Zhao Jun's direct subordinate company had suffered over 10 casualties. Song Xi's company had been annihilated along with him, leaving behind only 20 heavily injured people. One garrison company was basically wiped out, with only 2 squads of soldiers remaining. There was another garrison company that had lost a platoon to an unknown sniper.
In other words, the five companies that had followed Zhang Xiaoqiang to battle had lost more than 260 of their 570 people. Of which, 99% were caused by the Qie Xue Army.
The Golden Left Flag had a total of 800 people. Meow alone had killed more than 60 people and injured more than 30. The remaining 700 people were not seriously injured, and not counting those who had escaped, there were only about 80 survivors. The deputy commanders of the Golden Left Flag, Mo Rigen, and Ah Mu Gulang had been killed. After their deaths, the captives had revealed their identities. This battle could be said to be extremely tragic. If there was no Qie Xue Army, this would have been an ambush. But with them, it had become a cruel battle.
However, time did not allow Zhang Xiaoqiang to lick his wounds. He led the 300 soldiers who had fought for a long time and pushed towards the entrance of the valley. There was also a Golden Right Flag left behind. When Zhang Xiaoqiang brought four tanks, a few assault vehicles, mortars, 30mm grenade launchers, and other equipment, he arrived at the top of the mountain at the entrance of the valley. In the distance, thousands of people were slowly retreating. Beside them, there were hundreds of empty horses moving together.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, should we give chase?"
Zhao Jun used his sleeve to wipe his nose and asked excitedly. There were still traces of smoke and blood on his face. Other than Zhao Jun, everyone else looked tired. Although they had won, the enemy in the distance was four times their number. There was no chance of winning if they gave chase.
"No need, it's enough. The soldiers fought well, and the commander of that team is also not bad. Perhaps they will become our biggest opponent …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the Golden Right Flag retreating at a steady pace. He felt a deep sense of fatigue in his heart. Beside him, Meow leaned lightly against Zhang Xiaoqiang. She was also very tired. Only Crescent Moon stared at the large team in the distance. Her eyes flashed, and no one knew what she was thinking.
All the heavily injured enemies followed the old rules and slit their throats to end their pain. As for the dozens of lightly injured enemies, Zhang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a while and did not kill them. Now that they had a stable base, these people could be used as labor.
While collecting the spoils of war, Alyssa, who had fought with Meow for half a day, actually opened her eyes when she was being treated as a corpse. She stared at this mature and beautiful western beauty. Zhang Xiaoqiang took out the Rat King Blade and prepared to send her on her way, but he did not expect to be stopped by Meow.
"She can be my teacher. She has taught me a lot today …"
Meow said to Zhang Xiaoqiang in a serious tone. He could not understand what was going on. Alyssa was not the only evolver who did not die. Wurenqi Muge was also an Agility-based evolver. She was shot in the eye by Zhang Xiaoqiang, and the bullet deflected at the skull and went through her cheek. Other than losing an eye, she was fine. She could walk and sit, but she could not speak. She covered her eye and squatted on the ground, trembling.
In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang and the rest obtained 300 usable rifles and over 100 undamaged ones. They found a total of 21 light machine guns and heavy machine guns. Among them, there were 9 heavy machine guns and 3 mortars. Not a single shell was fired, as all of them had been detonated.
They found a few rocket launchers and a total of 10 rockets. They also obtained the two fangs that were about a foot long from Alyssa, the leg bone of a mutated beast from the zombie, three intact ribs, and more than 10 modified off-road vehicles.
Just as Zhang Xiaoqiang's men were cleaning up the corpses and collecting the equipment, the bodies of the Qie Xue soldiers were piled up after being identified. In the pile of corpses, there were not many intact corpses. Other than those who had been shot by rifles, most of the dead had been torn into pieces by large caliber ammunition. One of the seemingly robust corpses had a large hole in its waist, and its intestines were spilling out.
The soldiers who were cleaning up the corpses were not willing to take another look. They hurriedly piled up the pieces of the corpses and turned around to look for gasoline. Just as all the soldiers left, the corpse with the intestines spilling out suddenly sat up. It opened its eyes and looked around. It stretched out its bloody hands and slowly stuffed the intestines back into its stomach.
The man who was in so much pain that his body was convulsing and his teeth were clenched to pieces. It was Ba Tu, who had shouted that he wanted to die outside. When he was charging, he had been shot by the 7.62mm parallel machine gun. His stomach had been torn open, and he had been unconscious ever since. Seeing his wound, no one believed that he was still alive, so they piled him up in the pile of corpses and prepared to burn him.
Ba Tu had been pretending to be dead and enduring it until everyone could not stand the smell of blood and left. Only then did he sit up. Ba Tu was not famous in the Qie Xue Army, and his ability was not strong. He only had twice the strength of a normal person, and the speed of an S-type zombie was just slightly faster than a normal person.
Ever since Ba Tu could remember, he had never seen his father, and he had never heard his mother mention this person. He looked ordinary, and did not have any achievements. He had never caused any big trouble, and he did not have anything worthy of praise. He did not have any sense of existence.
He did not want to attract attention, and liked to immerse himself in his own world. He liked to follow behind others in everything he did. He did not have a firm stand, and sometimes he was hot-blooded, but after that, he was extremely afraid of death.
Although his mother was Mongolian, he did not have any sense of belonging to Mongolia. He was just going with the flow, because he did not even know why he was living. To be more accurate, he was just living for the sake of living.
The Qie Xue Army had abandoned him, and he did not feel any anger in his heart, because he had never really treated himself as one of them. He was like an employee without any loyalty. The boss had run away, but life had to go on.
Ba Tu stuffed the intestines back, and ran to the side to hide. He did not have any plans, he just wanted to take a few more breaths of air. His eyes looked around, and he saw the corpses of the enemy soldiers. With one look, he realized that something was wrong. The corpses on his side were piled up in a pile, as if they were ready to be burned, but the corpses on the other side were arranged neatly, like a guard of honor.
