With the help of the Enhancers from the military, many of the soldiers were saved. However, although the 5 battalions managed to kill over 60,000 zombies (most of them were from the artillery), they had also lost over 300 of their own soldiers. Those soldiers who were scratched by the S2s were dead for sure. The 20 machine gun-mounted vehicles were also destroyed by the H1s, and the losses were truly heavy.
Yue Zhong's side was much more cautious, and he had deployed his men to attack SY County, using their artillery to fire at the zombies. He also made use of this opportunity to train his artillery.
Artillery was also a technical unit, and Yue Zhong's artillery consisted of only 8 or 9 professional artillery soldiers, the rest were all non-specialists. This time, Yue Zhong had attacked SY County with the intention of training his troops. A troop that had not experienced the baptism of war, no matter how good their training was, or how good their equipment was, they could not be considered elites. Actual combat was the best way to train.
Other than the artillery, Yue Zhong had also deployed elite snipers to snipe the zombies from afar. He did not send out the rest of the troops, because he knew that without tanks, they would be at a disadvantage when facing the sea of zombies without any fortifications.
This time, the military had suffered a huge loss, because they had not fought with the zombies under their command. They had underestimated the might of the zombie horde.
The zombies continued to chase the soldiers, as they surged towards the camp.
The artillery fire from the military was relentless, and did not stop for even a moment. Each time, a huge number of zombies would be blasted into smithereens. The soldiers on the camp also fired with all their might, and finally managed to hold back the zombies.
However, after 15 minutes of continuous firing, all the cannons had been blasted red, and they could only wait for the cannons to cool down. After 15 minutes of continuous high-intensity bombardment, it had already taken the lives of over 100,000 zombies. However, the sea of zombies was still endless, and there was no sign of it decreasing, causing the soldiers to feel a sense of helplessness.
Making use of this time, the zombies stepped over the corpses of their comrades, and continued their assault on the camp. Seeing the seemingly endless horde of zombies, many of the veterans had a look of fear in their eyes.
It was too terrifying. The sea of millions of zombies was too terrifying. In less than 2 hours, the military had used artillery and machine guns to kill over 180,000 zombies. However, what appeared in front of the soldiers was still an endless horde of zombies. At this time, due to the continuous firing, the cannons were too hot to provide support to the frontline soldiers. This made the battle extremely difficult.
The soldiers were stationed in various positions, using rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers to attack the zombies. As soon as the gun barrel turned red, the soldier beside him immediately helped to change the barrel. At the same time, grenades rained down on the horde of zombies, blasting them to death.
The battle was very intense, but without the heavy artillery, the zombies couldn't be killed. They charged forward wave after wave, paying the price of a large number of deaths as they charged into the army's defensive positions, fighting with the soldiers of the army.
Under the onslaught of the sea of zombies, those who had not constructed any fortifications were directly engulfed by the zombies. Other than a few experts from the military who were able to escape from the sea of zombies, most of the soldiers died in battle, or became part of the zombie horde.
Some of the experts were entangled by a few S2s, and after killing a few S2s, they finally died, before being devoured by the zombies.
Seeing the red dots that represented the military positions being destroyed, the 5 heads of the command center had ugly expressions.
"Tanks, attack!!"
Following Shen Hongyang's order, 10 tanks immediately entered the battlefield. Other than that, behind the 10 tanks, there were 20 IFVs and a battalion of infantry soldiers.
The moment the 10 tanks entered the battlefield, they were like tigers charging into a flock of sheep, crushing everything in their path, turning the zombies in front of them into meat paste. The moment the 100mm cannon fired, there would be a huge burst of flames, and dozens of zombies that were huddled together would be blasted into ashes. At the same time, the 3 mounted machine guns on the Type 69 Tank also fired wildly, killing a large number of zombies.
Behind the 10 tanks, the 20 IFVs were also firing wildly with their ZPT90 25mm cannons, and the large caliber cannons that hit the zombies would be blasted apart, and the zombies that were in the way were also crushed into meat paste.
The battalion of infantrymen followed behind the Iron Legion, killing off the zombies that were still alive or those that slipped through the net.
All of a sudden, the horde split apart, and 300 L2s appeared, charging towards the 10 tanks in a frenzy.
One of the L2s viciously punched one of the Type 69 Tank, causing the tank to tremble slightly, but in the next moment, it fell to the ground, and was crushed by the Type 69 Tank, turning into a pile of meat paste.
The rest of the L2s that charged over were met with the same fate. A single punch from them could create a large hole in the armor of a small jeep, but against the thick armor of the tanks, it was not much of a threat.
The 300 L2s that charged over were either crushed by the tanks, or killed by the Type 69 Tank. The L2s that had terrifying combat strength could not even withstand a single blow from the Type 69 Tank.
The moment the 300 L2s were annihilated by the tanks, another 400 S2s appeared from within the horde. After paying a painful price, the S2s jumped onto the Type 69 Tank, and used their sharp claws to attack the tanks. The mounted machine guns on the Type 69 Tank were destroyed by the S2s, but the S2s could not do anything to the tortoise shell of the tank.
The battalion of soldiers hiding behind the tanks raised their guns and fired wildly at the S2s, shooting down the S2s that were lying on the tank like live targets.
Behind the tanks, the 20 IFVs fired their ZPT90 25mm cannons, causing the S2s to explode one by one.
The horde squirmed, and 200 H1s appeared about 200m away from the tanks.
The moment the 200 H1s appeared, the 20 IFVs behind the tanks fired wildly, causing a few of the H1s to explode.
The remaining H1s opened their mouths wide, and a number of fireballs blasted at the 10 tanks. It was obvious that the Z-Types also viewed the tanks as their nemesis.
Balls of fireballs bombarded the ten tanks, and then exploded one after another.
The flames had not dissipated completely, and the 10 tanks charged out from the flames, firing at the direction of the 200 H1s. The huge explosion caused a large number of the H1s to be blasted into smithereens. The soldiers of the infantry battalion also opened fire, turning the remaining H1s into sieves.
Yue Zhong looked at the display, and saw the 10 tanks charging left and right as though there was no one there, and he could not help but sigh: "Truly, tanks are the kings of land battles. If I had a 100 tanks, I could even fight a million zombies. "
The 5 heads of the military looked at the 10 tanks charging left and right, and the seemingly invincible Type 69 tanks, and their eyes flashed with joy.
However, the joy of the five military powerhouses was quickly frozen. It was true that the 10 tanks were invincible against the zombies, but the number of zombies was simply too many.
It was unknown how many zombies the ten tanks had killed, and how many zombies had been crushed into meat paste. The number of zombies had only decreased a little, but they were quickly replenished.
Furthermore, most of the zombies were attacking the soldiers of the military, and the fleet of 10 tanks and 20 IFVs could only act as a firefighter, as they attacked everywhere, crushing the horde of zombies.
With the help of the 10 tanks and 20 IFVs, the soldiers of the military finally had a chance to catch their breaths, and dealt with the zombie horde that had their reinforcements cut off.
After 10 minutes, the cooldown period of the cannons was up, and the 10 tanks and 20 IFVs retreated to rest and reorganize. Just now, under the frenzied bombardment of the H1s, one of the tanks had unfortunately been hit, and it had to be replaced. At the same time, the machine guns that had been destroyed by the S2s had to be reinstalled, and the expended ammunition and fuel had to be replenished.
The cannons of the military once again opened fire, landing in the midst of the zombie horde, and a large number of zombies were immediately turned to ash. With the support of the cannons, the soldiers of the military were in a much better position.
On the other side, Xu Zhenggang had ordered the snipers to provoke the zombies in SY County, and the moment the horde arrived, they retreated to Tiger's Mouth Gorge. They had already set up many fortifications in the terrain of Tiger's Mouth Gorge.
Very quickly, the dense horde of zombies made their way towards Tiger's Mouth Gorge.
The heavy and heavy firepower that Xu Zhenggang had set up on both sides of Tiger's Mouth Gorge began to fire, and a dense rain of bullets rained down on the zombies near Tiger's Mouth Gorge, turning them into sieves.
At the same time, the artillery that Xu Zhenggang had set up on the right side of Tiger's Mouth Gorge also began to show their might, and as the shells rained down on the horde of zombies, they were blasted into ashes. Yue Zhong's Artillery Battalion also grew rapidly under the constant bombardment of the cannons.
The entrance to Tiger's Mouth Gorge was narrow, and with the support of the artillery, it was relatively easy to defend. A large number of zombies that tried to pass through Tiger's Mouth Gorge were either killed or blasted into ashes.
After Xu Zhenggang observed the situation for a while, he immediately stopped firing, and deployed the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of Ning Guang County, wielding Tang Replica Swords, to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the zombies.
