Chapter 132 0066. Bombard Matsukawa! The Zombies Are Out!
On the road leading to Songchuan City, dust and yellow sand are flying. The army marched out from Linzhou City, carrying unparalleled momentum and marching towards the scheduled combat location.
Songchuan City is located in the Central Plains region in the west of Nanjiang Province. It is the throat of Linzhou City entering the Central Plains.
In the past, this was a third-tier city, with a population of four to five million when the population flow was high. At present, the top military officials have set the target of attack here, firstly for the abundant supplies in the city, and secondly because they want to build a buffer position in Songchuan City to guard against the tide of corpses heading south from the Central Plains.
Under the investigation of military satellites, the distribution of infectious agents in Songchuan City has long been understood.
However, this operation did not have the participation of the Air Force, and there were some shortcomings in precision strikes and encirclement and suppression attacks.
Commander Zhang remotely coordinated the two branches of the navy and army for this operation, while the specific combat command of the army was jointly held by the young and strong major general He Hua and the veteran general Ouyang Cheng.
"General Ouyang, there is a scheduled artillery position ahead. Can we move forward another 2 kilometers?"
He Hua is only 35 years old and has the highest official position in the Qingzhuang faction. This person has thick eyebrows and broad ears. From his appearance alone, he has a temperament that is difficult for ordinary people to have.
"Oh? What does General He mean?"
"From the pictures sent by satellites, the infected people in the city are concentrated in three locations: west of the city, south of the city, and downtown. Our shelling location is the farthest west of the city and cannot be reached in a short time.
If the artillery positions are constructed according to the previously marked positions, I am worried that the infected bodies in the west of the city will be disturbed when we bombard the other two locations. "
Ouyang Cheng laughed loudly when he heard this: "General He is overthinking. It's not easy to attack three targets at the same time. Why don't we just fire the artillery in batches in different areas?"
He Hua retorted: "If the artillery is spread out and fired, it will not constitute fire coverage. The main cluster of infected bodies cannot be eliminated at the first time!"
The repeated conflicts made Ouyang Cheng a little angry: "General He, I have already led troops to fight before you were born. In addition, this is something that has been decided by the war department before. If you and I make mistakes without authorization, who will be responsible for this?" responsibility?"
He Hua clenched his fists, tossed his sleeves and left. I don't even want to ride in the same car with him.
Looking at He Hua leaving, Ouyang Cheng sneered: "Huh, young man."
A Type 05 155mm self-propelled gun was unloaded from the tractor.
This artillery is currently Daxia's longest-range fielded weapon, capable of covering a range of 100 kilometers.
The military built an artillery position on flat terrain 20 kilometers away from Songchuan City, and a temporary combat command and communication vehicle also parked nearby.
Groups of soldiers sat in personnel carriers and continued to approach the city of Songchuan. They lay on the car and shot the zombies wandering around the city one by one.
"Xiao Mo, let me lead the team this time. There are naval guns and artillery positions taking turns bombing, and there won't be many infected bodies left."
Mo Qingning refused directly: "No! No one can go this time, we will just follow the vanguard."
"Why? You just let me go once! As a female battalion commander, I haven't been out in battle. Everyone should laugh at me." The female battalion commander rubbed the other side pitifully.
Rumble, rumble~
A thunderous roar exploded in my ears.
The artillery position launched an attack immediately, and hundreds of large-caliber artillery shells flew towards Matsukawa City.
As if the shells had eyes, they roared into the sea of corpses gathered around them. The fire caused by the explosion of the shell only flickered for a moment in the black sea of corpses, and then fell into darkness again.
The command vehicle was synchronized with the satellite surveillance signals in the sky. The officers sitting in the command vehicle all looked surprised.
Such a large-caliber artillery smashed into the tide of corpses without even making a sound?
Soon, a second wave of more intensive artillery fire covered the tide of corpses.
Hundreds of artillery shells landed rapidly, evenly distributed in the area of 300 to 500 meters in the sea of corpses.
More zombies were blown up into the sky, and clearings were revealed again after the flash of explosion fire. The continuous blows caused hundreds of thousands of zombies in the sea of corpses to die in a short period of time.
At the same time, tens of thousands of army troops had formed an encirclement around Songchuan City. Just wait for the artillery bombardment to end, rush into the city, and clean up the remaining infected bodies.
In front of the fire position constructed by the female soldiers, Mo Qingning frowned and shot a running zombie to death.
"Impossible? How can these ordinary zombies be so fast?"
"Shoot! Keep shooting! We must clear out the zombies at this intersection within the scheduled time!" The female officer stood at the intersection holding a rifle, directing the team to move forward while shooting.
"Fang Ting! Stop, don't move forward! These zombies are a little weird!"
Mo Qingning shouted and stopped the female officer.
Fang Ting was stunned for a moment, then turned around and came to the other party: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with these zombies?"
"Fang Ting, you haven't been out during this time, so you don't know the situation of these zombies. Since more than a month ago, the speed and strength of these ordinary zombies have begun to regress. Some of them can't even walk steadily."
Hearing this, Fang Ting covered her mouth in surprise: "Then were these mutated infected bodies just now?"
"No! They are still ordinary zombies. I suspect that the zombies in this city have collectively evolved!"
Mo Qingning said worriedly, even she was frightened by this guess.
After the virus broke out for such a long time, she had never seen ordinary zombies evolve. But now it is actually happening before our eyes.
After the army's artillery bombardment, the navy's naval guns once again dealt a heavy blow to the sea of corpses in the city.
The intensity of the naval gunfire was extraordinary. The sea of corpses near the south of the city was emptied of more than half in the first round of covering strikes!
Thermal weapons have huge lethality against these infected bodies composed of flesh and blood. Under the sea of hot fire composed of artillery shells, the entire Songchuan City was like a pot of boiled flesh and blood soup.
The impact of the naval gun was immediately transmitted to the command center in Linzhou City. Zhang Zhongxian, standing in front of the huge screen, waved his arms excitedly and cheered loudly, regardless of his old age.
"Okay! Well done! Just blow it up!"
Countless spots of light in the sky lit up again.
Just when the second round of naval bombardment came, three infrasound waves that only the brain could receive suddenly spread towards the sea of corpses.
The sea of corpses, which were distributed at three concentration points in the city, split into several torrents in an instant and poured out of the city along the city roads extending in all directions.
The millions of zombies that survived the bombardment left the city!
