Doomsday Commander Chapter 235

  Chapter 235 Desperate Battle

   Just as Tang Zheng expected, the Fifth Army also came up with a similar method.

  When Liu Yibang came to the Xiangshui River, he ordered to blow up the ice on the river.

  The fifth group army has a large number of people, and the blasting effect of the first wave is still good, blowing up more than ten kilometers of the river in succession.

  But the next action was not so smooth.

  The mutated birds began to attack the engineers who planted explosives on the river, causing heavy losses to the group army.

  When the large army of zombies approached the distance of ten kilometers from Xiangshui, they began to divert to the left and right.

   And Liu Yibang didn't care about the casualties at this moment, and forcibly dispatched engineers to continue blowing up the river.

  Under Liu Yibang's strict order, the engineers had to continue to set off with explosives, blowing up sections of the river.

  However, during this process, the casualties became more and more serious. When the surface of the river destroyed by the bombing was close to 30 kilometers, more than 5,000 engineers were killed. This forced Liu Yibang to stop this suicidal action.

   During this time, Liu Yibang and the others began to seize the time to build the ice city wall.

   A large number of survivors were summoned and came to the Jinhe River on the other side of the city, and began to cut ice on the river.

  Basically all the trucks that can be used in the city have been recruited to transport ice to and from the riverside and the city.

  The huge water pipe was directly connected to the river, and after the ice cubes were placed together, water was poured on it immediately.

  The cold weather causes the water to freeze quickly, which solidifies the ice cubes together to form the walls.

  I don't pursue beauty or not at all. Under Liu Yibang's repeated orders and the princess' call, nearly two million people participated in this action of building the city wall.

  By using the time delayed by blowing up the ice, the Fifth Army survived the night smoothly.

That night, nearly two million people from Hezhou were mobilized. Those who cut, those who loaded, those who carried, those who did not have suitable tools, pulled ice with ropes, or pushed them on the road. Deliver the ice cubes to the southeast of the city.

   Zombies come from the southwest, but the estuary area is surrounded by water from south to west and north, constantly blowing up the river and cutting ice, so that the zombies can only continue to go northeast and southeast.

  In fact, in the west, there is still a channel to enter the estuary area, that is, the road bridge and railway bridge over the two rivers.

  However, this narrow passage is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Liu Yibang deployed heavy troops here, and after the corpses arrived, he chose to bypass it.

  But there are also some corpses, which are blocked on the other side of the bridge, and people in the Hekou District are not allowed to leave here.

  The army and the corpses faced each other across the river two or three kilometers away, and the battlefield opened up elsewhere.

  The southeast direction will be the first area to welcome the arrival of zombies.

  Two million people were busy all night. In the southeast area, an ice wall with a length of more than ten kilometers and a height of twelve meters was built abruptly. It is now more than six meters thick and can be used for guarding temporarily.

  The people who had hardly slept all night could not rest even at dawn. The Fifth Army entered the southeast city wall, and the survivors were assigned to continue moving to the northeast, where they continued to build the ice wall.

  The battle also started at the southeast city wall at 7:50.

  When countless zombies approached in black, the soldiers of the Fifth Army realized how huge the difference was between having a unified command and a group of corpses without command.

  In the snow-capped field, corpses are constantly coming, standing on the ice wall, there is no end in sight.

  Mutated birds flew everywhere in the sky, covering the sky that was not considered bright.

   The roar of the zombies and the chirping of the mutated bird made people's eardrums buzz and upset.

  Liu Yibang came to the top of the city wall, seeing the scene in front of him, his heart couldn't help beating wildly.

  He stayed up all night with red eyes and an unshaven beard. He has completely lost the image of a suave general in the past, and now he can't even care about it.

  Just as he was about to direct the operation, the correspondent ran over.

   "Commander, Tang Zheng's call."

  Liu Yibang froze for a moment, then took the walkie-talkie.

Tang Zheng's voice came: "Commander Liu, don't talk yet, listen to me, if your fifth army can support it, just pretend I didn't say anything, but if you feel bad, don't hesitate to contact me immediately, I will Try to help you evacuate as much as possible, after all, those people don't deserve to die."

  Liu Yibang felt that his nerves were a little sensitive again. The common people shouldn't die, should he deserve to die?

  Just as he was about to retort, Tang Zheng had already ended the call.

"Oh shit!"

  Liu Yibang dropped the walkie-talkie and directly began to command the battle.

   Facing the incoming corpses, he first let the artillery unit of the Fifth Army start long-range strikes.

   No matter when, artillery has a place in the war, even now.

  The cannon rang out, and **** of fire and smoke exploded in the distance. That scene was quite shocking.

  The Fifth Army has a lot of artillery, with more than 400 cannons.

  The rumbling cannon sounded, and many zombies were killed in this explosion.

  However, this level of blow is not painful at all for the tens of millions of corpses, and the corpses continue to move forward despite the artillery fire.

Liu Yibang has not resumed the production of landmines here. Although his military production line has recovered a little, it has not reached the level of unscrupulous mass production. The previous stage of fighting Hezhou has consumed more than half of his ammunition stockpile. Not rich.

  The group of corpses advanced against the artillery fire, and after paying some price, they finally approached the city wall.

  From the beginning of the war to the brutal attack and defense of the city wall, it only took four hours.

  As the zombie siege began, the life of the Fifth Army was not so easy.

  At the beginning, their firepower was still very intensive and fierce, and countless zombies were killed on the snow field.

  But with the addition of advanced zombies to the battlefield, their firepower has been restricted to a certain extent.

   The indestructible bullets are difficult to kill those armored armor in one blow, and the sharpshooters who usually shoot through Yang with a hundred paces cannot hit the fast-moving agile zombies with one shot.

  High-level zombies were mixed with ordinary zombies, and a lot of bullets were wasted on those cannon fodder, but they couldn't stop the group of zombies from advancing.

  By two o'clock in the afternoon, the corpses charged under the ice wall.

   Just like the siege of the city of chasing light, the corpses piled up rapidly.

   At this time, Liu Yibang also realized that his city wall was a little short.

  But he couldn't help it. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy. Almost all the people in the Hekou District were mobilized. Some old and weak people also had to cook and boil water in the rear for logistics. It was already the limit to be able to do this.

   Facing the pile of dead bodies, Liu Yibang could only order the use of petrol bombs.

  But at this time, there are disadvantages again.

   The ice wall is used as a defense, and it cannot resist the burning of petrol bombs.

  The ice wall continued to melt, which shocked Liu Yibang. He could only let the workers continue to transport ice, and the city wall was thickened in the back.

  Some people moved ice blocks onto the city wall to temporarily increase the height.

  It is not enough to put ice cubes alone, but also to water, and the disadvantages of watering with water pipes are also great.

   If the soldiers who are fighting are not careful, they will easily get wet.

  In this cold winter season, if you are wet in the cold wind, you can only go back and take off your clothes and take a hot bath immediately, so that you may not catch a cold.

   It is very common to be frozen to death by accident.

  But there is no such condition now. Many soldiers died on the city wall with frozen bodies. They did not die in the hands of zombies, but died in the hands of their own people.

  The Fifth Army persisted until dark under such difficult circumstances.

  Liu Yibang also knew that the first night was the most difficult time.

  In the dark night, the cold wind howled, howled, and swept across the entire wasteland.

  The soldiers stood on the ice, their eyelashes were frosted, and their faces were pale.

  People kept falling down with stiff hands and feet, and then they were carried away immediately.

   This is not too difficult, the key is to deal with the continuous arrival of zombies below.

   One after another, the flares were launched into the sky, and the Fifth Army turned on the lights to fight at night.

   Compared with the more abundant troops during the day, it is already difficult to fight at night.

  Because the zombies had already arrived in the northeast area, they had to divide their forces to defend the northeast city wall.

  Soldiers on both sides are fighting hard, barely moving their stiff hands and feet, and raising their guns to shoot.

   The zombies on the ground are easier to target, but the mutated birds in the sky have become their confidant at this moment.

  In the dark night, it is impossible to find the location of the mutant bird.

  Even if the flares were lifted into the sky, as the light gradually weakened, those mutated birds would hide in the darkness behind them, and when they found the right moment, they would suddenly rush out of the darkness.

   Then, a soldier covered his face and screamed on the city wall.

  The mutated bird can easily catch them blind, and even take away a large piece of flesh from their face.

  Some soldiers were blind and tried to grab the mutated bird and jump off the city wall to die together. Unfortunately, they fell to their own death, and the mutated bird could still flap its wings and rise into the air to fight again.

  The flames of the flamethrowers pierced the night sky, and sometimes they could burn down some mutant birds, which is considered a good record.

   Under the double attack of the sky and the ground, a major danger occurred in Hezhou on the first night.

   A pile of corpses did not have time to be burned, and was washed up on the wall by zombies.

   Seeing more and more zombies climbed onto the city wall, and even jumped into the city through the city wall, Liu Yibang was so anxious that he personally led his guard battalion and a division as a reserve team to rush up.

   It took nearly 7,000 people to overcome this wave of crisis and successfully burn down the pile of corpses.

   Afterwards, there were more than 2,000 wounded, all of whom had been scratched by zombies, but they hadn't mutated yet.

  Looking at these ashen-faced brothers with despair in their eyes, Liu Yibang wanted to cry but had no tears.

  He could only distribute some explosives to these people and let them make a final charge.

  The warrior who was attacked by the virus gritted his teeth and rushed out, and died with the zombies in a series of explosions.

   Courage and passion cannot really turn the situation around.

  The joint operations of zombies and mutated birds made it difficult for the Fifth Legion.

  It's not that they don't have fighting power or courage, but there are too many zombies, and there are countless high-level zombies, and they are invincible.

   After a day of fighting, they have killed and wounded more than 500,000 zombies, but it is just a drop in the bucket, and it does not help.

  Seeing that in the middle of the night, the city wall was once again in danger, Liu Yibang could only grit his teeth and sent armored troops out of the city to meet the enemy.

  Two thousand tanks and armored vehicles of the Fifth Army went out to fight **** zombies. It is unknown how many zombies were killed. The rumbling guns lasted for several hours.

   This night was finally over, but at dawn, among the 2,000 armored troops, there were less than 60 chariots that could come back alive.
