Darkness is Coming Chapter 242

  Although it was incomprehensible, the well-qualified machine gun company immediately executed the commander's order and began to evacuate in batches and in an orderly manner.

The soldiers of the machine gun company have all been injected with strengthening agents, and the physical strength of the rune bracelet is increased. The ordinary machine gun can be picked up and left, and the devil's fangs have to remove the ammunition chain and be carried by the machine gunner and the sub-machine gunner together. To the trailer of the towed goods, tie it with hemp rope, and tow it away.

   Five minutes later, the machine gun company all evacuated from the D1 and D2 theaters, and handed over the key position of the fangs in the Xinyuanjiang outer city guard system.

   Losing this pass position, the machine gun company will definitely not be as easy as before to stop and intercept the corpse tide.

   Several officers, including the company commander of the machine gun company, were quite critical of the commander's order, but the biological cannonballs that hit the defensive positions of the D1 and D2 theaters immediately shut their mouths.

With the naked eye, all the officers and soldiers of the machine gun company that had withdrawn for thousands of meters could see hundreds of basketball-sized sarcomas smashed down on their previous positions like a meteorite rain. .

   After the sarcoid bomb exploded, a thick dark green juice splattered, and everything it touched was like being soaked in strong acid, emitting smoke and dissolving in a sizzling sound.

The   machine gun company commander put down the tactical binoculars, and the deputy company commander looked at each other in silence. If they remained on the ground, this wave of bombardment would be enough to destroy the machine gun company.

   "Old Yu, look." The deputy company commander pointed to the D1 theater, and the company commander looked in the direction he pointed.

   After the shock wave of the sarcoma destroyed the barricade and the corrosive venom melted, a corpse tide approached from a distance, cutting into the empty position that had not yet been filled.

   "Is this his mother-in-law playing with the rifle?" Company Commander Yu was so startled that he held the telescope tightly with his hands. Because of the force, his pale knuckles began to tremble slightly.

   The deputy company commander's expression was as if his mouth was full of coptis, extremely bitter.

  Infantry artillery coordination is a tactic that has appeared since the invention of artillery. Artillery is used to conduct fire attacks to suppress the enemy's deep targets and create conditions for infantry to attack.

The more sophisticated the    artillery performance, the more complex the infantry artillery coordination, which requires very high time and discipline. Even the original 258th Brigade Mechanized Infantry Brigade was rarely used. Now the 258th Division trains the new army to rarely practice infantry artillery coordination, and more use of infantry and tank coordination.

   But what is it that appears in front of you now? Zombies and mutants actually used the synergy of the rifle?

   "How can we fight this battle?" Commander Yu lowered his hands in despair and ordered the machine gun company to continue retreating to the designated location to wait for the next order.

   The deputy company commander was not as pessimistic as he was, and he said comfortably: "Old Yu, don't be discouraged, if you let the battalion commander Bao know, you will have a shaken army heart."

  The machine gun company equipped with devil fangs belongs to the Xiong Barracks of the Salvation Army and is directly commanded by Bao Weijia.

"That's what Battalion Commander Bao said." Captain Yu glared at his deputy and said, "Since the mutants have evolved a perverted thing that can fire biological cannonballs, could the mutants be kind enough to wait until we withdraw from our positions? Bombardment?"

   "Of course it's impossible. Oh, you mean..." The deputy company commander is also a veteran, and he quickly realized what Captain Yu meant, "The artillery of the mutants has a limited range, and they didn't move into the effective range until just now."

"Yes, now that D1 and D2 areas are let out, we will intercept them in C3 area. If we still lose C area, there is no possibility of defending B area, then we will be close to Xinyuan River. District A of the city will have a decisive battle with these bastards. At that time, Xinyuanjiang Inner City will be within the range of the opposite artillery. Do you know how densely populated Xinyuanjiang is now? How many people will be killed in one round of shelling?" Commander Yu gritted his teeth. He said, "The general manager was able to time the order so accurately just now, which means that they had long predicted that we would be bombarded at the time. Since they already knew it, they should have told us earlier, so that we can find a way to avoid the shelling and continue to stay behind. Position. If you don't do anything now, let the D area out. If you have to fight back in a while, you will have to take many lives to fill it. Does it always mean that there are pig brains over there! Where are Commander Liu and President Yang?"

The deputy company commander frowned, and when company commander Yu finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Wait, Lao Yu, that's not right. If the general manager knew that the mutant had artillery, he should directly let the ground artillery regiment take them. Blow it up, why..."

   Before he could finish the question, a muffled sound like fried beans came from behind. Then, as if an army of giants were marching in the distance, the machine gun company on the way to evacuate could clearly feel the shock from the ground beneath their feet.

The area at the back of Area D has been leveled by artillery fire. Immediately afterward, the mobile troops that rushed out from the side intercepted the thousands of zombies that rushed into Area D, and another unit entered the field at the same time. Judging from their marching route , they were able to arrive at the position at this time, indicating that they set off from the inner city almost at the time of the machine gun company's withdrawal from the shelling zone.

The mobile barbed wire with a diameter of 80 cm and a length of 10 meters was transported to the D1 area and set up in a short period of time. This invention made by shepherds in the 19th century for laziness has become the most convenient and widely used military defense. Engineering facilities.

"Old Yu, did the ground artillery regiment blow up the mutant artillery just now?" asked the deputy company commander. Since the 258th Division entered the field, the rear of the corpse horde has not fired the kind of biological cannonballs they just saw. .

"It seems so." At this time, Captain Yu was no longer as pessimistic as before, and his tone was cheered, "Just now, the guns fired over there to expose the position, and the ground artillery regiment's hands were longer, and they were killed at once. It turned out that we were there just now. Is it responsible for making the bait? However, since there is a plan and arrangements here, why do we have to withdraw? Our machine gun company should be in the D area to play its best role... Is it to save ammunition, or is it true? Are you planning to give up Area D? If you want to abandon Area D to further shrink the defense line, why would the people of the 258th Division go over to clear the tide of corpses and set up barbed wire? How is this battle going to be fought?”

   A machine gun company in a local battlefield cannot understand the complex battle situation, and can only do what a soldier should do: give up thinking and obey orders.

One kilometer away from Area D, in the former Yuanjiang Xiaoying City Village, five huge mutants knelt on the ground with their knees and arms on the ground, and then inflated at a speed visible to the naked eye like a puffed balloon. .

   During the process of expansion, their shape also changed fundamentally, from human shape to boxy flesh wall, the back vertebrae protruded from the body, and the vertebrae jutted into a straight line, like a gun barrel.

   After ten minutes, they finally finished their transformation and transformed into five living cannons when a loud bell sounded above their heads.

The voice    announced a direction, where there was the ground artillery regiment that fired the guns to destroy the vanguard of the Sea of ​​Dead.

  The five-meter-high mutant cannons turned the spine barrels, and the bases transformed from the limbs continued to sway, concentrating energy into the barrels, and the new organs in the body used to make biochemical bombs beat like the heart of an elephant.

   "Boom"

   There was only one explosion, and five missile-like objects roared out of the five gun barrels at the same time. The recoil force made the bottom end of the gun barrel slam back, and the cement floor under the base was subjected to this pressure and cracked.

If the more than 100 basketball-sized cannonballs observed by the machine gun company before were like rocks thrown by a trebuchet, then this time it was a real missile, moving towards the ground artillery at a speed that was difficult for the human retina to capture. Boom in the direction.
