When they first heard Tang Zheng say that the entire army was preparing, the people in Zhuguang City were still a little unconvinced.
Because Zhuguang City does not seem to have many troops, except for the defenders on the city wall, no other troops have been seen. At most, some people from the Engineering Corps and the Public Security Department have appeared.
So when Tang Zheng said that the entire army was preparing for war, people thought it was just a slogan.
But soon they discovered they were wrong.
A group of troops turned out from the west side of Guyun Mountain area and rumbled towards Zhuguang City.
When the city gate opened and this army entered the city, the city was boiling.
Watching the tanks rumble forward one after another, the metal tracks grinding against the ground, making a clattering sound.
Look at the military trucks loaded with soldiers, with huge artillery behind them.
Watch the armored vehicles advance, watch the jeeps advance.
The soldiers' skin was dark and shiny, and their clothes were not clean, but the aura of the entire army almost exploded. At first glance, they looked like a fighting lion.
It turns out that there are so many troops outside the city of Chasing Light.
Although people are prohibited from going out and are now staying indoors, they still open their windows and keep cheering for the troops entering the city.
The streets have been cleared and are now empty. The troops entered the city very smoothly.
After entering the city, the entire army immediately began intense preparations for war.
Tang Zheng still has sixty purchase quotas in his hand, which is the remaining mobile power.
Tang Zheng's original idea was to purchase a group of paratroopers as an air assault force.
But now it seems that it is not feasible. The massive zombies faced this time are all ground troops, and the paratroopers have no use.
It is not possible to purchase ordinary arms such as mobilization soldiers. What the Light Chasing Army lacks now is arms with large-scale destruction.
Therefore, after research, Tang Zheng decided to purchase five artillery pieces and five 107 rocket launchers, increasing the number of these two artillery units to ten each.
Five howitzers require five five-man combat groups.
Five 107 rocket launchers also require five three-person combat groups.
Using up the forty places also cost Tang Zheng seventy-five thousand gold.
There were still twenty spots left, so Tang Zheng purchased four more Bird helicopters and four transport helicopters.
The Little Bird helicopter combat team is two people, and the four aircraft are eight people.
The transport helicopter combat team is three people, and the four aircraft are twelve people.
All together, there were exactly twenty people.
After spending 340,000 gold, Tang Zheng's Army Aviation Company already had ten helicopters and was beginning to take shape.
Although the combat effectiveness of the helicopters in the air battle can only be regarded as average, but the opponent has no air units, Tang Zheng's ten aircraft can also cause a lot of trouble to the zombies.
If the zombie leader dares to show up during the battle, Tang Zheng can let the helicopter carry out the beheading operation.
After spending more than 400,000 gold, Tang Zheng's entire battalion finally reached full strength, with not a single quota left.
But the quotas that are not available are for human beings. Tang Zheng can also purchase a military type, which is military dogs.
Military dogs are not very useful in front-line battles, but once zombies break through the front line, military dogs can play a role.
There are many dogs, and it has happened more than once that the licker was killed.
Tang Zheng now has seventy or eighty military dogs in his battalion, and he purchased another hundred at one time. The task of these military dogs is to patrol and guard inside the city walls.
Once zombies break through the city wall, military dogs must rush forward to fight them immediately.
After adding all the troops, Tang Zheng rushed to the arsenal.
Here in the arsenal, a large number of bullets are being manufactured continuously.
Each field company sent people over to prepare to carry the bullets back.
Then Tang Zheng didn't come here to see bullets, he came to produce landmines.
In addition to bullet production lines, the arsenal also has artillery shell production lines, rocket launcher production lines and landmine production lines.
Tang Zheng had seen the group of corpses he faced this time many times, and the number was almost certain.
The total number of corpses arriving was approximately between 900,000 and 1 million.
Tang Zheng prefers the number one million, because this corpse king obviously has a grudge against him. He will surely bring as many zombies as he can and will not give himself a chance.
If there were one million zombies, his entire army would only have 2,500 people. One person would have to kill 400 zombies to defeat this horde.
And these are not ordinary zombies. They are filled with a large number of mutant zombies and quasi-mutated zombies. One mutant zombie can even destroy a team of survivors, which shows how difficult it is to kill.
Therefore, the most effective way is to reduce the number of zombies as much as possible.
Tang Zheng had never had the opportunity to use landmines as a weapon before, but this time he could put them to use.
In fact, after he received Shuanglin's funds, landmines have been produced here, and a total of nearly 100,000 landmines have been produced.
Under normal circumstances, a mine sells for 2 gold.
But the arsenal has a mine production line here, which can reduce costs.
The shell of the mine can be made of iron, ceramics, stones, plastics, rubber, etc.
Of course, copper can also be used, but Tang Zheng will not use expensive copper for mines.
The cheapest plastic is the main material for making landmines this time.
After adding the main materials and gunpowder, the production cost of land mines was reduced to 0.5 gold each.
The main reason is that relatively more gunpowder is required, and in the end the cost was only reduced by 75%.
Chasing Light City has accumulated quite a lot of artillery shells and bullets in the past few days. The task tonight is to produce landmines with all its strength.
Boxes of mines were moved out of the warehouse, and the production line was also producing continuously. The finished products were immediately loaded onto trucks and transported outside the city.
The battlefields of the battle should be the south gate and the east gate. The south gate should be the main battlefield of this battle because of its open terrain.
After the mines were transported out of the city, the engineering troops began to lay mines quickly.
This kind of mines no longer need to be buried underground, because even if the zombies are commanded by a leader, they cannot do the delicate job of avoiding the mines, so they only need to throw the mines on the ground.
As soon as the arsenal built a car, the engineers threw it away.
From evening to early morning, the Light Chasing Army dropped about 150,000 landmines outside the city.
Most of the landmines were concentrated outside the south gate, and about 30,000 mines were also scattered near the east gate, trying to leave no dead ends.
The engineers were busy, while the soldiers of several field companies took the time to rest.
At dawn, the soldiers got up.
The cooking platoon and the cooking classes of each company got up in the middle of the night and started preparing meals.
In the past, soldiers usually returned to the inner city for meals. This time, the place for dining was under the city wall.
Even Tang Zheng has been assigned tasks for several field battles.
The South Gate Defense Area is the defense area of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th combat companies.
The east gate defense area is a continuous defense area.
The cooking squads directly under each company began to light fires and cook under the walls of their respective defense areas.
When Zhuguang City was first built, Tang Zheng had ordered that no buildings were allowed to be built within fifty meters of the city wall.
There is a ring road left here, which can be used as the outer ring of the city in normal times and as a troop transportation lane in wartime.
The driveway can lead directly to the top of the city wall, and the chariot can drive up to the top of the city wall.
At this time, large pots were placed on the driveway, and a lot of mutated beast meat was also brought out. They were simmering in the large pots, exuding an alluring aroma.
Connected to the cooking class is the medical team of the Zhuguang Army.
For a long time, the Light Chasing Army had almost no combat losses, except that one soldier died during the attack on Shuanglin County. This was inseparable from the efforts of the medical troops.
Tang Zheng could imagine how brutal this battle would be, so he had the medical team ready in advance.
Temporary beds were placed one after another, and simple medical tents were set up.
Those medical soldiers who have risen to the stars can even perform operations on injured soldiers on the battlefield at any time.
Many medical soldiers are strong young men. Not only can they save people, they also have an important job, which is to carry stretchers.
Therefore, when Tang Zheng purchases medical soldiers, there must be a ratio of male soldiers to female soldiers. There must be men who are dedicated, and there must be careful women.
Engineers were laying mines, and after the soldiers had eaten early, they began to carry boxes of bullets to the city wall.
Each company, each platoon, and specifically each squad has its own area of responsibility for defense.
The bullets are at their feet, ready to be used during battle.
The artillery in the distance also set up an attack formation near the inner city.
Ten howitzers and ten rocket launchers, all adjusted in place.
There were also a lot of shell boxes piled up next to it. This time Tang Zheng spent a lot of money. Once he had the money, the arsenal started production at full capacity to ensure that the soldiers had enough ammunition.
It cost more than 400,000 yuan to purchase aircraft and cannons, and the current artillery shells, bullets and mines cost nearly 300,000 yuan.
Before the arsenal existed, the amount purchased this time would have almost bankrupted Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng, who had hardly slept a wink all night, arrived near the south gate early.
According to the radar map, the zombie army is still more than 20 kilometers away from Light Chaser City.
Within three hours, the army should be at the gate.
Tang Zheng climbed onto the city wall and looked up at the sky.
Today's weather is not bad, it is similar to the previous days, the sky is full of dark clouds and windy.
It's okay in the city, but the wind is even stronger when walking on the city wall.
The strong wind blew up the flag of the Light Chaser Army, making a hunting sound.
The soldiers were basically ready. They were all on standby in their own defense areas. When they saw Tang Zheng approaching, they were all ready to salute.
Tang Zheng waved his hand and issued an order in the system. During the battle, there is no need to worry about etiquette.
The soldiers who received the order saluted the general they respected in their hearts.
Tang Zheng held the crenellations of the city wall with both hands and looked at the vast land outside the city.
The meandering river flows, and the plains and mountains in the distance are all in sight, giving you a feeling of vastness and vastness.
But who could have known that such a beautiful place would soon become a battlefield.
