The plane made a loud buzzing sound, departing from the inner city airport of Chasing Light City and flying over the outer city.
The people in the city, all looking towards the sky, basically maintained the same posture.
That is, the mouth is wide, the eyes are not blinking, and the neck is twisted in the direction of the plane flying over.
Even before the end of the world, they had only seen this kind of scene on TV.
Twenty fighter jets roared past, followed by ten bombers.
The bomber was followed by a drone, which was filmed by the TV station.
Some ordinary people can't tell the difference between fighter jets and bombers, but the shock from the bottom of their hearts comes from their souls and cannot be erased at all.
Along with the shock, there was also a sense of pride rising in my bones.
It turns out that their Light-Chasing City and their Light-Chasing Army are already so powerful.
The fighter jets quickly flew out of the city, and what followed was an even more shocking bombing.
Although they could not see the bombing scene live, those watching TV saw it immediately.
Fighter missiles opened the way, followed by machine gun fire.
The innocent hillock was ablaze and riddled with holes.
And the bombs dropped by the bombers behind were even more terrifying.
Tang Zheng's bombers had spare bombs, but the number was not particularly large, but bombing this small hill was shocking enough.
With the large explosion, the small hill was reduced to a height.
The smoke rising into the sky could be vaguely seen in the city, and the huge explosion demonstrated the extraordinary power of this explosion.
When the plane returned from its bombing mission, the whole city was boiling.
Everyone cheered and clapped their hands so hard that they refused to stop until their hands turned red.
With such a powerful air force, what else do they have to worry about.
The people on the Second Ring Road who were still panic-stricken suddenly calmed down, and no one mentioned leaving Chasing Light City and going to the military base again.
On the TV, Little Dili broadcast the latest news in an emotional voice.
"Today, the Light Chasing Army conducted its first fighter jet test flight."
"During the operation, our army fully demonstrated our military might. Thirty fighter planes simulated attacks on virtual targets. They cooperated tacitly throughout the process and easily destroyed the targets. Our army's air combat capabilities were fully demonstrated during this operation. manifestation.”
"This operation proves to the outside world that we have enough power to defend our homeland, and any external force, including zombies, is not enough to shake the Light Chaser City."
"Please see the report sent back from the scene below."
As the scenes were broadcast again and again, this time the outside world was silent.
Whether it is before or after the end of the world, arms races have always existed. Not everything has to be solved through war, but the premise is that you must have enough power.
If you don't have enough ability to protect yourself, then don't speak, and your words will be regarded as farts.
The Light Chasing Army's display of muscles this time obviously shocked many people.
Except for the Yuanjing TV station who expressed congratulations to the Light Chasing Army on the TV, no one else spoke.
A public opinion storm and internal crisis were resolved by such a temporary military exercise.
Tang Zheng was also very satisfied with the results of this operation. He no longer had any worries, and now was the time for the real attack.
Before launching an army, Tang Zheng first built three more arsenals.
There was only one arsenal at the beginning, but it was obviously not enough now. Especially after this violent attack, a large amount of ammunition reserves were needed, so Tang Zheng built three at once.
These three arsenals were somewhat difficult to accommodate in the inner city. Fortunately, the arsenal's area was not very large. In the end, Tang Zheng even compressed a little space in his own yard to finish placing the arsenal.
After the arsenal was built, the production line there was at full power, and Tang Zheng began to rapidly produce ammunition using the materials Tang Zheng had accumulated over a long period of time.
Even after deducting raw materials, ammunition still requires a lot of money. After all, the ammunition to be produced is massive.
Tang Zheng calculated that he would need at least 15 million in ammunition reserves, or even 20 million, to win this battle.
After building the arsenal, Tang Zheng continued to launch troops.
This time Tang Zheng chose a larger-scale violent attack, starting with a large number of mobilized troops.
Just like the fifth regiment, Tang Zheng first added four battalions to each of the remaining four field regiments.
Each of his field battalions consists of eight combat companies. This time Tang Zheng also followed the same scale. According to the military structure of the previous eight companies, each battalion was supplemented by eight companies. .
A battalion consists of eight companies, plus a guard platoon, as well as necessary cooking and medical troops.
Each battalion has about 2,500 people, and the cost of each battalion is about 1.1 million.
Sixteen battalions, with a total cost of 17.6 million.
The 52 million funds immediately turned into 34 million.
But just this wave of violent troops increased by 40,000 people.
There are four field regiments, each with a strength of 12,500 men.
Of course, this is not the end. The next step is to upgrade the city guard battalion to the city guard regiment.
The City Guard Battalion currently has two battalions. It will be enough to upgrade them into a regiment and add three more battalions.
The cost of building a city guard battalion is much higher than that of a field battalion because there are many advanced units in this battalion, such as snipers, heavy machine gun teams, flamethrower warriors, etc.
Three battalions have been added, and the current city guard troops in Zhuguang City have four battalions and one company.
The rest of the city guard troops are scattered in other bases and various checkpoints.
The three city guard battalions spent about 5 million in funds, and Tang Zheng already had more than 29 million left.
But at this time, the total number of Light Chasing Army was approaching 80,000.
With the remaining money, Tang Zheng did not continue to replenish ordinary soldiers, such as paratroopers from the direct battalion, engineer battalion, and army aviation battalion, but was used to purchase vehicles.
First of all, Tang Zheng added anti-aircraft guns.
Tang Zheng realized the importance of air defense after seeing the overwhelming mutant birds among the Lumba corpses.
Without air supremacy, your own planes would not be able to take off, and the battle would be too difficult to fight.
Moreover, the mutated birds can directly threaten the soldiers on the city wall, so this problem must be solved first.
First of all, Tang Zheng purchased a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
[Cheetah 35mm double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft gun: effective range 4000 meters, effective shooting height 3000 meters, total combat weight 46 tons, adopts radar fire control system, can carry 400 rounds of ammunition in the starless state, and increases the number of rounds by 200 rounds per star upgrade. The price is twenty thousand gold. 】
This self-propelled anti-aircraft gun has 400 rounds of training ammunition every day, and an additional 200 rounds are added once the star is upgraded. If upgraded to three stars, 1,000 free rounds of artillery shells can be used every day.
Tang Zheng purchased a hundred self-propelled anti-aircraft guns at one time as a conventional air defense force.
I believe that with these weapons, the pressure on air defense will be reduced a lot.
One hundred self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, coupled with 200 artillerymen, as well as the city's original anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missile systems, formed a complete air defense firepower network.
Moreover, this kind of self-propelled anti-aircraft gun does not mean that it can only shoot in the sky. The anti-aircraft guns are basically dual-purpose, and they are also powerful on the ground.
This 35mm caliber artillery is more powerful than Gatling, and it is perfect for fighting high-level zombies.
The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun actually looks like a small tank. It is also tracked and can be easily driven up the city wall for defensive operations.
There are two barrels on the turret, which can fire at the same time.
This kind of thing fires very fast, and 1,000 shells won't last long, so Tang Zheng now has the arsenal to reserve a large amount of ammunition, a considerable part of which are shells for this kind of self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
Among the weapons this time, there were two surface-to-air missile launch vehicles, but Tang Zheng did not buy them. Such anti-aircraft weapons were not needed to deal with the mutated birds. It was a waste of anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes.
But there is one kind of weapon that Tang Zheng is going to mass-produce.
[Tornado Rocket Launcher: The total combat weight is 44 tons, the total length is 4.4 meters, the height is 3.1 meters, the width is 3.1 meters, the caliber is 300 mm, the number of barrels is 12, the maximum range is 90 kilometers, the minimum range is 20 kilometers, and it is equipped with 60 rockets in starless state , can carry out five rounds of shooting, increase the star to add 24 rockets at a time, and sell for 50,000 gold. 】
This rocket launcher, with a maximum range of 90 kilometers, will be the main force in the early stages of the war.
The maximum range is 90 kilometers and the minimum range is 20 kilometers. Tang Zheng was ready to use this weapon to greet the zombies on their way to Zhuguang City.
It was also one hundred units, and another five million dollars was spent.
Then there are the artillery, three hundred artillery pieces for rocket launchers and two hundred artillery pieces for self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, which cost a total of 150,000 gold.
The anti-aircraft guns just cost 2 million, and Tang Zheng's funds dropped again, to 22 million.
Of course, these artillery units were still not enough, so Tang Zheng continued to supplement them with ordinary cannons and 107 rocket launchers.
The original artillery team had one hundred guns for each of these two types of guns, and this time they were supplemented by one hundred guns each.
There were also mortars, and Tang Zheng also added them to a hundred.
Finally, there are the self-propelled artillery that made a great contribution during the battle with the alliance. The original number of fifty units has been increased to one hundred.
These guns and the artillery cost another 4.7 million.
By this time, the artillery unit was almost fully replenished.
One hundred tornado rocket launchers, one hundred self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, one hundred self-propelled artillery pieces, two hundred howitzers, two hundred 107 rocket launchers, and one hundred mortars.
There are seven hundred cannons in total, and the number of artillerymen is as high as more than three thousand.
These 700 cannons were divided into two artillery regiments by Tang Zheng. The first regiment and the second regiment each had 350 cannons.
After purchasing the artillery unit, the total number of Light Chasing Army has reached 82,000.
At present, the military camps of the Zhuangguang Army can accommodate a total of 85,000 people, of which 20 military camps are located at the military camp base.
Tang Zheng looked at the money in his hand. It was not a lot anymore, only 17 million.
He also had to leave fifteen million in ammunition reserves, so there was only two million left that could be used.
Just when Tang Zheng was thinking about how to use the two million, Guo Yun gave Tang Zheng a suggestion.
The two million will continue to be used to purchase war eagles and military dogs.
As for its use, it is very simple, that is, it is used to catch mice.
Tang Zheng thought about it and felt that what Guo Yun said made sense.
The situation when the city wall of Hezhou was dug down by rats is still vivid in my mind. This kind of situation must not happen in Zhuguang City.
Tang Zheng now has a lot of war eagles in his hands. When the transport plane transported them by air, he purchased 10,000 of them at one time.
This time, let’s bring in more military dogs.
Tang Zheng directly purchased 10,000 of the two hundred military dogs.
The rats in the last days are too big and too numerous to be dealt with by ordinary cats, and there is nothing that dogs can do about rats.
