Chapter 311 Powerful
The New Lanzhou base city covers a large area, which is of course conducive to urban development. However, it is also destined to be an overly wide defense area.
The Northern Air Force Command urgently dispatched six early warning aircraft to monitor the surrounding areas of New Lanzhou for 24 hours. Thanks to information from the Air Force, a large number of defense forces began to launch reinforcements to the south gate. However, including Yuan Zhicheng, the soldiers did not expect that the civilians in the city would show panic and chaos at this time. Regardless of the cause and idea, whether intentional or doubtful, the turmoil created by the civilians in the city greatly delayed the transportation of materials and the march of troops.
To apply the view of peacetime, this is like the act of migrant workers who cannot get their wages blocking the road, being maliciously cheated on shop rent by developers, resulting in bankruptcy or hopelessness of life gathering in the downtown area to hang banners and slogans begging and pity, attracting many onlookers and sights. It is all the last cry of the little people who feel desperate about life and cannot change their own difficulties.
Whether it is blocking the streets or gathering crowds in the downtown area, many people are paying attention to it, which will inevitably lead to a series of consequences such as traffic congestion, frequent accidents, and consumption of a lot of social resources. Of course, facing the interview of reporters, the chaotic creator's answer is almost the same: "I can't survive and can't get money, so I can only do this.
In fact, there are many ways to solve problems. However, due to the limitations of thinking frameworks and logical concepts, people always choose the most direct, extreme, and most likely to hurt others in their subconscious mind. In their own eyes, it is also the most effective method.
The New Lanzhou base is Yuan Zhicheng's old nest. He can give up New Urumqi, Xinhuhe Hart, and even give up the entire northern existing defense line, and endure terrible things such as the casualty rate of all troops in the war zone as high as 80%. He will never give up New Lanzhou.
He will defend New Lanzhou at all costs at all costs.
Although humans and mutant creatures have been fighting for two years, those monsters are constantly evolving, and the human army always encounters various new problems. Whether it is to formulate combat plans or mobilize the army, it takes time. Although Yuan Zhicheng has ordered the mobilization of more than a dozen combat divisions to launch an attack on New Lanzhou, there is always a process for the troops to assemble and march.
The people will never understand, nor will they understand.
They just saw the mountains of corpses outside the city and saw the mutant creatures launching a crazy attack on the base city. They wanted to leave here as soon as possible than ever. Among the chaotic and panic crowd, there must be some sane people with clear minds. But their shouts and voices are destined to have no effect in front of most people. As time passes by minute by minute, they themselves will become manic and panic, losing their original calmness and original heart.
They climbed up the roof, threw down all kinds of debris and construction waste, blocked traffic with all kinds of messy things, and threw stones and moor bottles at the speeding military vehicles on the street. Some civilians even stood in groups in the middle of the road, opened their hands, formed human walls, held high homemade horns rolled out of iron, and shouted loudly: "Since you don't want to let us go, don't think about going."
The military situation is urgent, so the soldiers will naturally not be polite. There is no need to ask the Supreme Commander Yuan Zhicheng, who led the army to order shooting. In the face of irresistible death, the human wall was quickly dispersed. The heavy military vehicle ran over the dead or undead shot without any mercy, but had to stop in front of the temporarily accumulated obstacles.
The fleeing crowd gathered again, relying on the buildings, they continued to shout to the army, reiterating their demands over and over again. In the distance, more people continued to pile up obstacles... After experiencing the period of virus outbreak and survival in the wild, civilians knew very well: if they did not make demands now, they would never have any idea of anything.
Of course, Yuan Zhicheng and the army would not bow their heads in the face of coercion. For strengthening soldiers with huge strength, clearing obstacles is not difficult. In this way, the reinforcements fought and stopped all the way, and kept putting down soldiers to clear obstacles along the way... By the time the first batch of reinforcements arrived at the south of the base city, the situation had changed.
The thick steel gate is already mottled, and a large amount of strong acid has seriously weakened the thickness of the metal gate. With the impact of giant people such as pigs, cattle people and other giants, the entire gate has been significantly deformed and began to sink inward. Especially at the position directly above the steel gate, a crack of more than ten meters long appeared, and a semi-solidified acid-corrosion solution was slowly dripping from the surface. It slowly expanded under repeated impacts and could no longer be closed.
Along the "meat ladder" built by giant humanoid corpses, more and more agile mutant creatures rushed up the city wall and started hand-to-hand combat with the guards. In this case, at least one-third, or even more gun seats and turrets lost their effect due to disturbance. Without the firepower output from the top of the city wall, the mutant creatures' destruction progress of the city gate was naturally much faster. In addition, the chaos created by the people in the city made the reinforcements unable to speed up. When they rushed to their destination in the most barbaric state, the city gate had been broken, and a huge mutant creature poured in from the city gate like a tide, instantly submerged all the nearby open spaces.
The battle situation that was originally within a controllable range suddenly deteriorated. Many soldiers were crawled all over by mutant creatures rushing over the sky before they jumped out of the carriage. The frenzy of creatures swallowed up the city gates and walls, and they rushed into the building along the surface of the wall and stairs. Whether civilians or the army, they could not resist this force of destruction. Thousands of soldiers were bitten to death and torn apart on the spot, and a larger number of civilians also suffered the same fate. That terrible scene was like a huge army ant colony in the Amazon tropical rainforest, rushing into the village where natives gathered, never letting go of any target that could be used as food.
“Build a line of defense quickly.”
"Stop them, be sure to block them"
"Send all armored troops, and the firepower direction of each warning tower is adjusted to 30 to 75 degrees south, and we urgently need reinforcements."
"It can no longer resist the attack of mutated creatures. Quickly, everyone retreats———"
The mutant creatures rushing into the city have an absolute advantage to the people and soldiers. The narrow streets and activity space limit the strengthening of the power of soldiers. The cooperation between soldiers is nothing more than gun shooting and hand-to-hand combat. Although the strength is superior, it is far less than the flexible attack combination of various types of mutant creatures. Although the commander repeatedly ordered the construction of defense lines in the communication channel, the difficulty of operation is far beyond imagination. The reinforcements continue to arrive from all directions, but without any preparation, this oil-adding tactic can only increase casualties.
Yuan Zhicheng ordered: Within ten minutes, all troops retreated behind the second line of defense, which was the internal city wall built around the military-controlled area.
This order is equivalent to verdicting the death penalty for all civilians in the base city. At the same time, it also means that troops that cannot enter the military-controlled area within the specified time must stay outside and serve as a cover for the internal city walls.
Yuan Zhicheng kept staring at the screen, his eyebrows and wrinkles tightly twisted together. His eyes were filled with various complex ingredients, with anger, unwillingness, shock, and regret...
The sudden battle made Yuan Zhicheng feel indescribable irritability and awkwardness.
The mutated creatures will leave the abandoned city without warning, which is an unexpected change. Although the human army has advantages in weapons and enhancement potions, those monsters can easily gain the upper hand with the cooperation of quantity and local attacks.
Humans only have two hands.
Although strengthening human strength is strong, facing three mutant creatures at the same time, there will always be inevitable omissions.
A young adjutant walked to Yuan Zhicheng, bent down, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, I just received a message from the air surveillance force: There are as many as 250,000 mutant creatures breaking into the base city. The southern urban area is currently in full swing, and chaos and commotion are spreading towards the adjacent areas. The guards of each urban area are urgently building temporary defense lines, and the Army Aviation Brigade has sent all helicopters. The military control area has entered a state of emergency, and the first and second batches of reinforcements have been in place. The City Defense Command Center has sent requests four times in a row. They hope you approve the use of laser launchers in combat to reduce the number of mutant creatures that have entered the city on a large scale..."
"snort----"
Yuan Zhicheng made a cold accent from his nostrils.
The person who can sit in the position of city defense commander under his nose was of course Yuan Zhicheng's confidant.
He was a brigade general with a very good reputation, brave combat, and a multi-faceted thinking ability. But this guy who was attracted by him and entrusted with important tasks was completely panicked after the mutant creature broke through the outer wall. He sent him a series of telegrams for help, and even asked for the use of laser emitters... This was simply a fool who was stupid.
The laser emitter has great destructive power, and the troops guarding the southern city gate were caught off guard and did not have time to use it. If a high-energy laser is released in the city, it means that the entire city is in the range of light attacks. The hot light energy will cut all buildings and walls from the middle, and all the people, the army and the mutant creatures will be killed.
This guy actually made such a stupid request. I really don’t know how his previous achievements came about? He didn’t think about how he would deal with the next biological war without a person or a city?
The adjutant's expression became a little embarrassed. He approached Yuan Zhicheng again, and his tone became more humble, but with obvious anxiety: "Your Excellency, the attack of the biological frenzy is very fast. If the current speed continues, it won't take long. I'm afraid the entire civilian district of the base city will fall. At that time, we..."
Yuan Zhicheng turned around and looked at the adjutant with a majestic and cold look: "What, are you blaming me?"
The direction of this sentence was too obvious, and the adjutant suddenly felt a chill rising from his spine. He immediately closed his mouth, lowered his head, took two steps back, stood aside honestly, and didn't even dare to be proud of his anger.
After glanced at the retreating adjutant, Yuan Zhicheng turned his body back to his original position and stared at the computer screen with his eyes that had not changed at all.
Of course, he would not give up on the New Lanzhou base city, but he did not want the city to be damaged too seriously. Especially the practice of using laser emitters in the city, don’t mention it at all.
There are only hundreds of thousands of mutated creatures. As long as the creature frenzy that besieged the base city has not reached a million scale, I still have a way to deal with it.
Of course, even Yuan Zhicheng himself had to admit that he was indeed negligent in the guard and alert work of the base city. After all, no one expected that the mutated creatures would leave the abandoned city, and no one knew that they rushed over without warning. If he had known that this would happen, there were many ways to curb them, and rely on the city walls, strengthen the city gates, and block all these damn guys outside.
The cautious adjutant obviously didn't know what Yuan Zhicheng was thinking. He also didn't understand why the commander, who was a high-powered commander, kept staring at the computer screen? There were only a few changing data tables on it, which were nothing more than the current casualties of combatants, the occupied areas of the base city, etc.
Yuan Zhicheng's eyes were always staring at the lower right corner of the computer. When the electronic timer just skipped the scale of "twelve:09", he immediately pressed the telephone button on the desktop and issued an order with a majestic and undeniable momentum.
"Send the 31st mobile team. Using them as the attack spearhead, the entire army will turn to the counterattack."
As the vice chairman of the military headquarters, Yuan Zhicheng must have much more secrets than an ordinary adjutant.
He could order the Air Force Northern Theater Command to modify all surveillance information, but he had no right to control the strategic space force located at the Beijing-1 base.
At 12:09, it is a fixed time limit for the No. 10U military satellite to fly over New Lanzhou. There are still four hours and twenty-seven minutes left before another ground observation satellite enters the same area.
According to the relevant military regulations formulated before the outbreak of the virus, all bases and cities must be under satellite surveillance. Yuan Zhicheng used his power to spend a lot of supplies to bribe several heads of the Space Strategy Force. The conditions he proposed were not too much, just for a few hours a day, the bases and cities under his command were always in the surveillance blind spot for a period of time.
It is not difficult to do this, just adjust the satellite operation speed and monitoring range.
Yuan Zhicheng didn't want to have a pair of eyes looking at him in the sky at any time.
It will be uncomfortable and inconvenient to implement certain plans and actions.
Located under the open space next to the No. 21 tarmac on the east side of the military control area, a unique sound of hydraulic machinery came from. The flat ground began to sink downwards and soon split into four unconnected plates, revealing a square pit with a side length of about 200 meters.
This is a large lifting platform connected to the ground. With mechanical friction from far to near and close, an elliptical lifting staircase with an oval at the top quickly rose from the ground. When the two cross-enclosed steel gates slowly separated, lights came out of the lifting cabin and a row of fully armed soldiers walked out.
They wore tan camouflage combat suits. Except for the difference in color and marking, they were no different from regular military combat suits. These people looked cold, looked dull, and had slightly stiff movements and steps. They either carried large-caliber single-soldier cannons, or held heavy machine guns equipped with barrel-type ammunition boxes, and some people simply held long-handled carbon swords or battle axes. They looked like a group of armed zombies that had just been dug out of the grave.
A total of five mechanical platforms rose from the ground. More than 600 armed personnel came out of the lifting cabin. They were loose in formation and did not line up like ordinary troops. Instead, they took their respective weapons and walked directly to the city gates that separated the civilian and military areas not far away.
If you look down from the air, you will find that these people are not without arrangement. Each of them is a team of three, forming closely linked triangles according to their different weapon configurations. When countless triangles are mixed with each other, they naturally feel confused. But each team never intersects and occupies their own independent areas. However, in terms of weapon matching, it seems a bit weird. Most of the entire team holds individual cannons or hand-to-hand carbon swords and axes, rather than taking up one of them.
Their ranks were unified, and everyone was a captain.
Yang Junhao and Zhang Wen walked in the middle of the team.
Their appearance is not much different from before, except that their skin looks a bit rough and has a very abnormal, faint dark blue. It seems that there is no muscle at the bottom of the skin, but an alternative substance with a color comparable to the deep sea. Against the backdrop of this strange color, blood vessels also highlight from the surface of the skin. Especially the temples and cheeks on both sides are covered with fine lines densely dense as fibrous roots of plants.
Behind these indifferent soldiers wearing tan combat suits and looking weird, there are tens of thousands of armed soldiers. They are the garrison troops in the military-controlled area and are about to launch an attack on the mutated creatures outside the wall.
The city gate is open.
Looking at the mutant creature far away from the passage and rushing towards here, you can roughly see the mutant creatures in a blurred shape. Yang Junhao and Zhang Wen's cold eyes suddenly flashed out of their ghostly pupils. The change was so rapid that in just a moment, just like when the computer was turned on, a certain light spot suddenly flashed in the center of a dark screen.
This strange situation occurs in humans and cannot be explained by simple physiological reactions.
There were no orders like "everyone charges" or "everyone goes with me" and all the soldiers in gray-brown combat uniforms rushed into the passage and rushed towards the civilian area outside the city wall.
