This warehouse is an arsenal of the alliance.
A large number of bullets, artillery shells, grenades, rockets and other weapons are stored inside.
This is the basis for Xie Jinshan's long-term battle with the Zhuguang Army. Without the supply of weapons, how can he hold on to his position for a long time.
When the arsenal was bombed by Light Chasing Army drones, Xie Jinshan went crazy.
"How is that possible! How could Tang Zheng know the location of our arsenal?"
"Many people inside this arsenal don't know about it. How did Tang Zheng know about it?"
"Damn, damn, Tang Zheng is indeed cunning. He actually has a drone and hasn't used it for so long. Now we're in trouble!"
The furious Xie Jinshan walked back and forth in the command post. Around him, the other congressmen also looked depressed.
One of the members said: "Speaker, we have to fight back."
"How to fight back?"
Xie Jinshan, who had already decided on the retreat tactic, was a little dissatisfied.
The congressman plucked up the courage to speak: "The other party has drones, and there may be people from the other party lurking inside us. If this continues, we will be very passive. Taking advantage of the intelligence brought back by Zabu and the others, we can use cannons to bomb the other party's artillery first. position, otherwise once the war officially begins, their artillery will pose a great threat to us. After all, we are the defender and have an inherent disadvantage."
In addition, some congressmen said: "Yes, our ammunition reserves are not particularly large. Now that we have lost another warehouse, it is already disadvantageous to continue the war for a long time. Only by striking first and knocking out the opponent's artillery can we have a chance of winning. Besides, we now know their Your position, Speaker, is an opportunity not to be missed.”
Xie Jinshan hesitated for a while, but still agreed with the members' opinions.
According to the intelligence received from the city's internal police and the location reported by Zabu, he could indeed take action.
Xie Jinshan issued the battle order and asked the artillery to prepare to fire according to the coordinates provided by Zabu.
As darkness fell, artillery fire rang out from the Union positions.
The original location of the Light Chasing Army's artillery position suddenly fell into a sea of fire.
After three consecutive rounds of shelling, the Light Chaser Army began to counterattack.
Of course, the Alliance can fire artillery to attack the Light Chaser Army, but in this way, their artillery position will also be exposed.
As the Light Chasing Army launched an artillery counterattack, the alliance's position was also bombed to pieces.
More than a dozen cannons were turned into scrap metal under the counterattack of the Light Chasing Army, and many soldiers were killed on the spot.
However, the alliance was also mentally prepared for this situation. Their second artillery position was bombarded again according to the position where the Light Chaser Army fired.
I don’t know the specific bombing effect, but the coordinates and locations should be similar.
It is difficult to move something like a cannon. It requires a car to be pulled to a predetermined position, then the gun mount is supported, the angle is adjusted, and the ammunition is loaded and fired. This process cannot be completed in twenty or thirty minutes.
They didn't know the losses suffered by the Light Chasing Army, but soon, they ushered in the second round of counterattack.
The rumbling artillery shells fell and exploded the second artillery position into a mess.
Xie Jinshan was extremely anxious after receiving the news, but his councilors persuaded him: "Speaker, despite the losses we have suffered now, it is also difficult for the Light Chasing Army. Their cannons should also have suffered heavy losses. If you persist, For a period of time, they may also have to silence their fire. At worst, both sides will have no cannons to use. That would still be beneficial to us."
At this point, Xie Jinshan had no choice but to bite the bullet and let the artillery continue to fire.
The artillerymen from both sides came and went, firing back and forth across Mangye Town.
The rumbling sound of cannons lasted for more than two hours and finally gradually subsided.
On Xie Jinshan's side, all the cannons have been basically lost. There are only less than ten cannons left, and almost all of them are damaged or malfunctioning, and are basically unusable.
Fortunately, the Light Chasing Army stopped firing their cannons, and the two sides became silent for the time being.
The restless night passed like this.
The next morning, as soon as Xie Jinshan got up, the Light Chasing Army officially launched an attack.
The artillery shells from the opposite side came one after another, raining down on the Alliance position like raindrops.
Although the alliance troops had long been prepared for battle, this almost one-sided bombing still left them helpless.
The soldiers could only hide in the air raid shelters and withstand the continuous artillery bombardment of the Light Chaser Army.
Occasionally, some unlucky armored vehicles and the like were directly turned into scrap metal by artillery shells.
There are also many places where defenses are not in place, and many people have become dead souls under the bombardment.
Xie Jinshan could feel in the command post that the shelling by the Light Chaser Army was obviously much more violent than yesterday.
"What's going on? Why did the light-chasing army's artillery fire not decrease after one night, but instead increased?"
No one can give him a specific explanation, but the current scene is very passive.
Everyone in the alliance could only wait patiently for the light-chasing army's bombardment to end.
After all, the outcome of a war is determined not only by cannons, but ultimately by people.
When they enter the positional battle, it's time for them to counterattack.
Tang Zheng looked at the results of last night's battle and couldn't help laughing.
After the purchase of his self-propelled artillery was completed, he took advantage of the darkness and left Light Chaser City early.
Therefore, Xie Jinshan only knew that he had artillery, but knew nothing about self-propelled artillery. He thought that he was just like them and only had traditional howitzers and the like.
The characteristic of self-propelled artillery is that it is easy to move and can change places after firing a gun.
Yesterday, Tang Zheng knew that the situation on the position was leaked, so he immediately changed the position. Sure enough, after Xie Jinshan's ammunition depot was bombed, he couldn't help but fire.
When the opponent opened fire, the location of the artillery position was exposed, and Tang Zheng's self-propelled artillery began to counterattack.
The artillery from both sides exchanged fire back and forth. In fact, the alliance was just fighting a lonely battle.
Each time before they fired, the self-propelled artillery would continue to change positions.
After more than two hours of bombardment, the dozens of cannons on the Alliance side were completely misfired.
In this way, Tang Zheng finally completed his first step goal, which was to eliminate the opponent's artillery and knock out their long-range counterattack force.
The next second step is to fight out the alliance's people, stop cowering in the position, and come out to compete with themselves.
For this goal, Tang Zheng also spent a lot of money.
This time, he came out with a lot of weapons and ammunition, including the largest number of cannonballs.
After equipping the artillery unit, Tang Zheng ordered the artillery to continue bombing the alliance positions.
After the opponent had no counterattack, Tang Zheng completely let go of his hands and feet. Dozens of cannons rumbled and fired from early morning to noon.
The artillery shells were refreshed at noon, and the bombing continued until dusk.
There is no doubt that the alliance suffered heavy losses in the continuous bombardment, but Tang Zheng did not expect that Xie Jinshan could still survive.
Tang Zheng, who did not believe in evil, kept up his efforts, but took a short rest in the second half of the night and continued the bombing on the third day.
The funds for two consecutive days, as well as part of the remaining funds from the previous period, were basically invested in the purchase of artillery shells.
The alliance's position was blown down by a large amount of force, and all the sandbag fortifications and the like were basically wiped out.
But these people still didn't come out.
At one o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, after the cannons had fired all the training ammunition that had been refreshed that day, Tang Zheng held a military meeting.
There was only one content of the meeting, and that was how to get the Alliance people out of their positions?
At the meeting, after repeated analysis, everyone believed that the current situation of the alliance was already quite difficult and it would be impossible to persist for too long.
But the problem is that Tang Zheng can't hold on for much longer. When the cannon goes off and the gold is ten thousand taels, Tang Zheng's reserve gold will be exhausted. If this continues, if he can't hold on tonight, it will be completely useless.
Moreover, people on the alliance side have basically entered the air raid shelters now, and if the bombing continues, it will not be of much significance.
During the meeting, Xu Liu from the special service put forward an opinion.
"General, I think we need an opportunity for the alliance to take the initiative now."
"Tell me, what's the opportunity?"
"The reason why the Alliance still can't stand out under such difficult circumstances is because the distance between us is quite far, and the Alliance currently lacks long-range power. When they come out, they will definitely be washed away by our artillery fire. They will rashly The risk of coming out is too high, so I grit my teeth and hold on. If we give them a hope, they still have a high chance of coming out."
"Then what can you do?"
"The way is to shorten the distance between our positions. What about this distance? If it can be within five kilometers, I believe the alliance will see hope and will not be afraid of bombardment. After all, at such a short distance, the alliance will Both sides are in contact with the accelerator, and we can't fire on our own people."
Before Tang Zheng could answer, Ji Yuntian retorted to Xu Liu: "Captain Xu, your idea is a bit wishful. You only considered the alliance's situation, but do we also need a defensive position within five kilometers of them? Is it just like Are they fighting face to face? If that is possible, why should we go to all the trouble to lure the snake out of its hole? Why not just attack their position directly."
Xu Liu scratched his head: "What Director Ji said makes sense. We lack a ready-made position."
It has to be said that Xu Liu’s proposals are very innovative, but they lack practical foundation and are unlikely to be realized.
The people here thought hard and couldn't come up with a good solution.
Finally, Tang Zheng pondered for a while, opened his eyes, and came up with a bold idea.
"I think you all overlooked one thing."
"General, where?"
Tang Zheng pointed at the map: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of you, that is Mangye Town."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. If we talk about positions, then Mangye Town, with its many buildings and blocks, is undoubtedly a natural defensive location.
But the problem is, there are still 200,000 zombies in Mangye Town.
People tend to avoid zombies when they see them, so how could they actively run to them?
But the people present were also smarter. Tang Zheng quickly figured out the key to the problem.
Ji Yuntian took the lead and said: "General! How wonderful! We can completely enter Mangye Town. There is no need to worry about those zombies. Two hundred thousand zombies were still a problem in the past, but with our current firepower, it is no longer a problem. What's more, We still have Chen Feilong at hand, and these zombies can even be our help at critical moments."
"As for Xie Jinshan, he probably won't care about these zombies. What's more, in their view, starting a fight in Mangye Town is a fair fight for both sides. He will definitely not let go of this opportunity to fight with us. Fight to the death."
Tang Zheng smiled and nodded: "That's it. If Xie Jinshan doesn't come out, we will take the initiative to send a step in front of him so that he can't continue to shrink down."
"In a town with zombies, fighting should be fair to everyone. It depends on whether Xie Jinshan dares to fight to the death."
After making a decision, Tang Zheng issued the order directly.
The jeeps equipped with Gatling guns of the directly affiliated troops set off overnight, using flares to annihilate some zombies in Mangye Town, and then the entire army entered Mangye Town.
There is no danger, because there is a corpse king following him.
