Huang Quan and Zhang Xiaoqiang saw all the changes in the zombies. At that time, they had already guessed the reason. The area behind them was too narrow. On one side was a mountain, and on the other was a lake. The zombies could not keep up with the rhythm of the attack. They were waiting for the zombies behind them to converge before using all their forces to launch an unending attack.
"Fire the cannons …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang said to Huang Quan. They could not sit still and wait. They had to disrupt the zombies' rhythm as much as possible and take control of all the advantages.
Huang Quan gave the order. Zhang Xiaoqiang walked to the familiar 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. On his left was Yang Ke-er, and on his right was Cat Eyes. Behind each machine gun were three logisticians who were ready to change the barrel and ammunition at any time. Placing the gun butt on his shoulder, Zhang Xiaoqiang took a deep breath of the thick smoke and rotting air. At the same time the five cannons behind them roared, the heavy machine gun in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands opened fire. The first light chain flew out. Yang Ke-er, who could not hold back any longer, followed by Cat Eyes. Following that, the entire front line opened fire with heavy firepower.
"Boom … Boom …"
Five consecutive huge flames exploded in front of them. The place where the explosions occurred was at least a kilometer away from the river. The people on the wall could not see clearly. All they saw was the five huge flames flashing once again into the darkness. It was just that the huge fireball left a deep impression on them. When they remembered that it was their cannons, their hearts that were startled by the zombies in the distance became hot once again.
The zombies a hundred meters away were torn to pieces by the hundreds of tongues of flame. The Z-Type was currently mobilizing its forces and could not split up. Before it could react, the zombies a hundred to a hundred and fifty meters away were all sent flying into the sky. Among them, all the places that were hit by the 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun were left with huge craters.
Following that, the Type-82 Mortars on the perimeter wall also started to fire. Thirty consecutive rounds of rapid fire exploded within the 300-500m area of the zombie horde, causing even more zombies to fly into the sky. Patches of empty ground were revealed after the explosions. The continuous attacks caused the zombie horde to lose at least tens of thousands of zombies in a short period of time. This time, the Z-Type within the zombie horde became anxious, and the surging zombie horde once again charged forward.
More than a hundred rounds of heavy firepower formed a scattered firepower net a hundred meters away. Almost half of the zombies were blocked by the firepower net and were torn to pieces. There were also some zombies that managed to break through the firepower net and climbed up the corpse wall. At this time, the entire frontline that was observing from the sidelines came back to life. Amidst the sounds of gunfire, the zombies fell onto the pile of corpses and became part of the corpse mountain.
At this time, the two layers of firepower interception was much better than the previous single layer interception. Just now, all kinds of bullets had blinded everyone's eyes. Now, under the light, the zombies climbed up the mountain of corpses with difficulty and became targets for the riflemen. The accuracy increased rapidly, and the consumption of ammunition decreased.
Most of the zombies were shot dead after passing through the two layers of firepower. There were some that escaped the net and were shot dead by the soldiers who were free. The scattered corpses extended from the mountain of corpses to the river bank. In the river, countless zombies were entangled together. With the undulations of the river, they almost extended to the middle of the river. Unknowingly, the zombies had used their corpses to fill up half of the river.
Suddenly, countless black dots flew out from the top of the wall and smashed into the middle of the corpses in the river. Countless waves exploded in the river. Countless grenades blew up the zombies in the river. Between the rolling waves, countless black corpses floated out of the river bank and flowed down to the big lake. Not surprisingly, the fish and shrimps in the lake ate the corpses of the zombies and grew fatter.
Until the second half of the night, the gunshots on top of the wall never stopped, and the survivors of the gathering place never felt relieved. This time, the zombies did not stop attacking, and wave after wave surged towards the gathering place. A hundred meters away, there was an even taller corpse mound, and the two corpse mounds were piled up at the same time, almost reaching the same height as the second layer of the wall. On top of the eight meter tall corpse mound, there were zombies that were shot to death from time to time, rolling down the corpse mound. The distance from thirty meters to the river was stacked with countless corpses, and some of the thickest corpses were already three or four meters high. It was unknown how many zombies had been killed.
As Zhang Xiaoqiang was shooting, he keenly felt that the zombies' attack was decreasing. At this time, his heavy machine gun had already changed no less than four or five barrels, and the brass bullet shells under his feet had already buried his calves.
Releasing the trigger, Zhang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes and drove away the dizziness in his brain. Then he was scared by the two huge corpse mounds, the shortest of the two corpse mounds was six meters high, and the tallest one was at the same height as the top of the wall. At the foot of the corpse mounds, the zombies were stacked layer by layer, and were a few meters high. Many of them had already fallen into the middle of the river, and the flow of the river was somewhat slow. Countless zombies were floating in the middle of the river, and floated downstream. Fortunately, the river was flowing, and only a small portion of the zombies fell into the river, or else the river would have already been filled with zombies.
During the day, there were at least 5,000 zombies in each of the 6 mountain of corpses. Here, the number of zombies in the mountain of corpses that stretched for a few kilometers, Zhang Xiao Qiang didn't dare to imagine. At the very least, there were at least 200,000 zombies. Adding the mountain of corpses behind, he believed that the number of zombies would soon be depleted.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, our heavy machine gun bullets are running out …"
Zhang Huai'an was sweating profusely, and he anxiously ran to Zhang Xiaoqiang's side and said. As the logistics supervisor, he was very worried at the moment. They had only been fighting for half a night, and the three hundred thousand 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets and incendiary bullets were about to be depleted. There was no more in the camp, and there were only four hundred thousand stored on the island, but there was no time to transfer them. The ships were sent to steal ammunition from the armory, and because they were running out of rifle bullets, they also lacked mortar shells, and at the same time, they also needed a lot of 120mm mortar shells, and the 76.2mm high explosive shells were the most abundant, and there were more than two thousand of them.
The frontline battle was urgent, and the dead zombies had piled up like a mountain, but there were still many zombies alive. This was the most critical moment, and the zombies were competing with them in terms of endurance. Whoever could last until the last moment would be the one to win. The only difference was that if the zombies failed, they could come back again, but if they failed, they could only retreat to the island through the bamboo raft.
Hearing Zhang Huai'an's report, Zhang Xiaoqiang frowned, and looked at the mountain of corpses, and the zombies were smashed, and said, "How many are left …"
"About thirty thousand, and each machine gun only has three hundred bullets. Maybe, in another ten minutes, all the heavy machine guns will stop firing … but there are still a lot of 14.5mm bullets, and each machine gun has at least two thousand bullets …"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately shouted to Huang Quan:
"All 12.7mm heavy machine guns stop firing … all 12.7mm heavy machine guns stop firing …"
The heavy machine guns stopped firing, and only the five 14.5mm heavy machine guns continued to fire intermittently. On the mountain of corpses that was a hundred meters away, the pressure on the zombies decreased, and countless zombies crawled down the pile of corpses with difficulty.
The blockade line that was a hundred meters away was useless, and the number of zombies on the mountain of corpses that was thirty meters away suddenly increased. It was a bit strenuous for six thousand heavy machine guns to deal with them at the same time. Seeing the zombies, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was burning with anxiety, and turned to look at the place where the ammunition was stored, but he saw that there were countless open wooden boxes, and there was nothing inside. But behind the wall, the place where the mortar shells were stored was piled up like a mountain.
"Huang Quan, can the mortar hit the middle of the two mountain of corpses?"
