It is now the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. If it were this time in previous years, the temperature would have already started to rise.
But this year is different, it is still deep winter.
The shrill north wind blows from the wilderness, mixed with snowflakes like knives.
Tang Zheng came out of the official residence and went to the Second Ring Road accompanied by the security company.
After leaving the inner city and walking on the first ring road, the situation here is better, no different from the past.
But when you get to the Second Ring Road, the situation is different.
There are no high-rise buildings here, only shacks here and there, and better prefabricated steel houses.
People can only rely on making fires to keep warm, and their living conditions are still very poor.
The only thing that made Tang Zheng happy was that the Ministry of the Interior was doing a pretty good job, distributing bedding, clothes, and some basic food in a timely manner so that people could eat as much as possible.
From people's eyes, Tang Zheng saw worry and hope.
Everyone is worried about this zombie siege, but also hopes that this incident will pass, and when spring comes, everyone can build their new homes.
The convoy passed through the streets of the Second Ring Road, even arousing people's applause. Tang Zheng, the benefactor who saved all lives in the Second Ring Road, has a very, very high prestige in Zhuangguang City.
It can be said that in Zhuguang City, you can criticize anything and anyone, but you absolutely cannot criticize Tang Zheng.
The Sheriff's Department may not arrest you, because before they arrest you, you will be beaten to death by the angry crowd.
Tang Zheng also waved to the people passing by inside the car, and at the same time motioned for the car to speed up.
After all, the Second Ring Road is very large, covering an entire city area of 40 square kilometers. If you signal to people along the way, you may not be able to reach the city wall even after dark.
The convoy accelerated and headed towards the city wall.
During this section of the road, looking at the countless people here, Tang Zheng felt inexplicably uneasy. He always felt that he had overlooked some details, but he couldn't remember them for a while.
Time was running out and he didn't have time to think too much and drove on.
Tang Zheng came to the city wall of the second ring. This was only his second time here. The first time was when the city wall was built.
The city wall of the second ring is the same as the city wall of the first ring, but it is relatively longer and the pressure of defense is greater.
A hundred meters close to the city wall has been classified as a military restricted area and ordinary people are prohibited from approaching.
Under the city wall, large pots were propped up, which were the cooking troops cooking.
Every company is their cooking squad, which spreads for more than ten kilometers, and there are busy figures of the cooking squad everywhere.
He casually opened a pot, which contained mutated venison stewed with potatoes, which was nutritious and delicious.
Tang Zheng nodded slightly. At this time, the soldiers' food must be guaranteed.
Further out, numerous military tents were supported, which were set up by the medical troops and contained all kinds of medicinal materials and surgical instruments.
Military doctors in white coats came in and out, busy preparing everything.
Tang Zheng passed the checkpoint and climbed onto the city wall.
On the city wall, the city guards had already been prepared.
There are currently thirteen thousand city guards guarding Zhuguang City. Among them, there are many snipers and heavy machine gun groups in the watchtowers and bunkers, and there are also a large number of guards on the city walls.
There is no need to patrol now. The soldiers are on standby on the city wall. The north wind blows, and the white air breathed out makes the soldiers' eyebrows and eyelashes covered with a layer of frost.
Fortunately, they all wore thick winter clothes to resist the cold wind on the city wall.
Tang Zheng also saw many officers of the Light Chasing Army checking supplies platoon by platoon.
Many engineers carried ammunition boxes back and forth, carrying boxes of bullets and grenades to the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, you can still see many engineers busy outside the city, laying mines.
Now that the defense area outside the city is much larger, a lot of mines are needed to be laid.
After all, they have previous experience in defensive operations, and everyone's work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Tang Zheng took a look at his system. The 15 million funds had now become 13 million, and 2 million of the funds had been consumed on the assembly line of the engineering arsenal.
Before the battle even started, a tense war atmosphere was already filling the sky over the city.
Seeing Tang Zheng coming, the soldiers all stood at attention and saluted. Tang Zheng signaled that everyone did not need to salute and could just do their own thing.
However, several of the main officers of the Light Chasing Army are also at the level of regimental commanders, and they are still accompanying Tang Zheng.
The commanders of two of the artillery regiments seemed to already know something. They licked their chests and folded their bellies in front of Tang Zheng, implicitly proving to Tang Zheng that they could go to war at any time.
The two artillery regiments are the First Artillery Regiment and the Second Artillery Regiment. Now in the army, they are called the First Artillery Regiment and the Second Artillery Regiment.
The commander of the First Artillery was named Wang Jinglong, and the commander of the Second Artillery was named Lu Wenfeng.
Tang Zheng looked back at them: "Are you all ready?"
"Get ready, General. From the moment the zombies enter the 90-kilometer range, that's when our artillery unit starts bombing. First, the tornado rocket attack, which is the absolute main force, then the range of the howitzer, and then the range of the 107 rocket launcher. The last thing is the mortar range. Our two regiments take turns, which will definitely turn these dozens of kilometers into a desperate path for zombies."
Tang Zheng nodded slightly: "That's right. We have sufficient funds this time. We must kill as many people as possible in the early stage to reduce the pressure in the later stage."
"Yes! General, don't worry, zombies are still zombies after all, and the Corpse King is just a little girl. We still have rich combat experience, so there will be no problem."
"Don't be careless. Have you forgotten how Hezhou was lost? The 280,000-strong Fifth Army cannot hold on. We currently have less than 80,000 people in Zhuguang City. Carelessness will lead to serious consequences."
"We are the ones who understand General."
"Go down and get ready, the zombies are coming soon."
The two artillery regiment commanders left and began to set up artillery positions and arrange attack missions.
At this time, there was less than half an hour before the vanguard of the zombie swarm entered the range of the rocket launcher.
Tang Zheng looked to the north. On the radar screen, dense red light spots were like a bursting river, entering the radar range and spreading for hundreds of kilometers.
"Come on, little corpse girl wearing the same scarf as me, let me see what you are capable of."
About half an hour later, the vanguard of the zombie swarm had entered the 90-kilometer range of the tornado rocket launcher.
However, Tang Zheng requested that the group of corpses should wait until they were seventy-five kilometers away before starting to fire. At that time, the rocket launcher was actually at its optimal striking distance. The group of corpses could not retreat and could only move forward against the fire.
On the artillery position, fifty tornado rocket launcher vehicles with one gun have been arranged in formation and ready to launch at any time.
Reporters from Zhuguang TV Station also began to station themselves at various positions to broadcast the battle live at any time.
During this time period, according to statistics from the TV station, the ratings have reached the highest level since the end of the world.
People everywhere, whether they support Tang Zheng or not, are watching the start of this battle.
After a suffocating wait, the zombies finally entered the predetermined range.
The battle suddenly started, and the tornado rocket launcher of the Light Chasing Army appeared in front of the world for the first time.
Following the footage from the TV station, a large group of rocket launchers from the Light Chaser Army had already lined up in an area around the Second Ring Road and started firing.
Fifty rocket launchers, ten of which form a combat group, lock an area, and the second ten rocket launchers lock the next coordinate area.
On the artillery position, the commander dropped the flag in his hand and shouted: "Let go!"
Swish swish swish~~~!
The rockets were carried by the burning tail flames and flew away.
For men, this is one of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Countless rockets carried a stream of light and made a soul-stirring whistling sound. The feeling was refreshing from the bottom of my heart.
A distance of tens of kilometers is very close for rockets, and the remote drone was also over the group of corpses and captured this scene immediately.
Boom boom boom boom~~~!
There is almost no error in the landing point of the rocket launchers, and they all explode at the predetermined coordinates.
The area within a few kilometers was immediately covered by intensive rocket bombing.
Balls of fire exploded, and clouds of black smoke rose into the sky.
Snow and smoke mixed together, explosions and fires coexisted.
In the north wind, this area turned into hell!
Neither ordinary zombies nor mutant zombies could resist this high-tech weapon developed by humans. Countless zombies were reduced to debris in the smoke and dust.
Of course, this kind of scene cannot be captured by a drone, but Tang Zheng can clearly see through the radar perspective that large groups of zombies are disappearing in this area.
The patches of red light spots became sparse under this bombardment.
If it were a human being, there might not be any chance of survival in this situation, but for these tenacious zombies, they would still survive.
The Light Chasing Army didn't care about the scattered zombies that were still alive. Their second round of volleys still targeted the places where the zombies were densely packed.
The commander lowered the flag again: "Let go!"
Another rocket shot through the air.
It was already dark, and the dark sky was split open by rockets, flying into the distance and blooming the most gorgeous flowers.
The second round of rocket bombing still achieved brilliant results.
A large group of zombies were eliminated, and two consecutive rounds of rocket bombings resulted in the death of over 10,000 zombies!
Just when everyone was rejoicing and felt that if the fight continued like this, the zombies would suffer heavy losses when they came to Chasing Light City, something changed in the zombie group.
Among the corpses, a large number of mutated birds began to accelerate, flying rapidly towards the direction of Light Chasing City!
On the ground, large groups of mutated rats also began to run wildly in the direction of Light Chasing City!
The group of corpses behind also began to accelerate.
The zombies that used to be slow and leisurely began to run in their hearts.
The agile zombies ran fast, and the armored zombies also made strides forward.
Originally, according to the normal speed of the corpse group, it would probably take until tomorrow morning to reach the Light Chaser City, but looking at the current speed, they could arrive at midnight at the most.
If it weren't for Tang Zheng's radar surveillance and if there weren't drones tracking and filming, he might have been caught off guard by the swarm of corpses. If he wasn't prepared enough in the middle of the night, it would have been possible for the city to fall overnight.
Seeing the corpses running, the dense formation has spread out, which will greatly reduce the power of the artillery.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Tang Zheng still calmly ordered.
"Don't stop the rocket launcher attacks, keep bombing me!"
"The city wall defenders are preparing, the mutated birds will arrive in half an hour!"
"The mutated rats will arrive in three hours, and the corpses will arrive in five hours. Prepare your night vision goggles and flares, and be ready for night battles!"
