The bombers turned back in the air and conducted a second round of bomb drops.
The effect of the second round was slightly worse than the first round, after all, the mice were not so dense.
But it's not much different. If the first round can kill 150,000 rats, the second round will kill more than 100,000 rats.
Two rounds of thermobaric bombardment reduced the mutant rat group by more than half in an instant.
Including previous conventional bombings, the rats here have lost about three hundred thousand people.
The rats that were marching crazily were scared, or in other words, the little corpse girl behind them couldn't accept this loss.
The group of rats that were still advancing stopped and began to gradually retreat.
And Tang Zheng did not let the plane continue to bomb, after all, it was not safe in the sky.
Today's mutated birds can easily fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters. Without ensuring safety, it is best not to dispatch fighter planes easily.
Of course, due to their ultra-high flying speed, fighter jets can be dispatched as long as they are careful, but the attack surface of fighter jets is relatively small. Tang Zheng believes that now is not the time to dispatch fighter jets.
The emergence of thermobaric bombs was a big help to Tang Zheng. The opponent's mutated rats failed to detonate the minefield after all.
If the minefield is not detonated, there will still be a barrier in Chasing Light City, and the psychological sense of security will be different.
At this moment, Tang Zheng was also very impressed by the power of high technology.
In terms of actual combat effectiveness, the mutated birds and mutated mice killed during this period are almost comparable to the millions of corpses led by Chen Feilong.
However, in just two hours, the light-chasing army caused huge casualties. If the city had had this fighting capacity when it was first built, Chen Feilong's corpse group would have been wiped out almost instantly.
Without the attack methods of the mutated birds and mutated mice, there were no more troubles among the zombies. All the zombies still maintained their running speed and spread out formation, advancing against the artillery fire of the Light Chaser Army.
The cannons of the Light Chasing Army fired for most of the night, and until dawn, they were still bombarding the approaching corpses.
This round of bombing did not stop until the cannon was about to be scrapped if it continued to fire.
At this time, the vanguard of the corpse swarm finally approached a place ten kilometers outside Zhuguang City, after paying a huge price.
Corpses all over the mountains and plains occupy the entire field of view, and maintain a relatively spread-out formation, surrounding everything you can see.
However, the corpse group was not in a hurry to attack. They had been bombarded by the Light Chaser Army all night, and they also needed to take a breather and adjust.
The same is true for the Light Chasing Army. They also need to rest after resolving two zombie attacks.
On the first night, the offensive and defensive battle did not really start, but Tang Zheng's side had already achieved good results.
According to battle statistics, the continuous bombardment by the Light Chasing Army caused at least 1.5 million deaths among the corpses.
Including the losses of mutated birds and mutated mice, the zombies lost at least two million when they marched to the Light Chaser City.
The battle hasn't really started yet, and two million people have been wiped out. This is already a brilliant result for the Light Chasing Army.
The battle situation of the Light Chasing Army last night once again shocked the world.
If fighter jets and bombers are strategic deterrents and allow people to see the advanced technology of the Light Chaser Army, then last night's air defense operation against the mutated birds can be regarded as a model of military literacy.
Everyone can clearly see through the TV broadcast that at the beginning, the Light Chasing Army was not prepared to face the surprise attack of the mutant birds.
That is a misunderstanding of thinking, and most people will not understand it at all. The mutated birds will launch a surprise attack and directly attack the residents without entangled with the defenders.
The Light Chasing Army was rushing into the battle and would have suffered heavy losses under normal circumstances.
But in that unfavorable situation, the Light Chasing Army resisted forcefully.
You know, it was a surprise attack by half a million mutated birds.
The Light Chasing Army not only resisted, but also killed a large number of mutated birds, protecting the lives and property of the residents.
This not only reflects the tactical literacy of the Light Chasing Army, but also reflects their emphasis on the people.
Once the TV program was broadcast, many people in the Hanyue base praised the actions of the Light Chasing Army.
Only such a force can make people feel at ease and have a sense of belonging.
In comparison, the actions of the troops at their home base were much inferior.
In addition to air defense operations, there are also scenes of thermobaric bombs clearing the ground and bombing mutant rats, which also give people great shock.
There were many such thermobaric bombs in the past, but now they are a treasure, and each company's stock is very small.
Because making this kind of thing requires a lot of rare minerals, and now everyone is very poor and almost no one has any mineral reserves, naturally there are fewer of these bombs produced.
Ten thermobaric bombs from the Light-Chasing Army defeated the gathered mutant rat swarm, which also showed how wealthy the Light-Chasing Army was.
A place with advanced science and technology, a developed economy, high military literacy, and a united people is presented to people in a sideways way.
Tang Zheng, a name that was previously only known to people in the Northern Territory, gradually spread throughout the country through this method and was known to people in other survival bases in the country.
After understanding what Tang Zheng did, many survivors would have a favorable impression of him, which was an advantage.
But through his comparison, many leaders began to feel jealous of him, which was also a disadvantage.
Which one is better between the two will be witnessed by time.
However, regarding the current siege, no one is optimistic about the Light Chasing Army.
There is no other reason. The scale of the zombies is too large, and the city of Chasing Light is not small. The cost of the defending side must be very high.
Even if Tang Zheng had a production line in the inner city, no one believed that any production line could support such a large-scale war.
After all, the 280,000 men of the Fifth Army were all exhausted in the end. No matter how great Tang Zheng's potential was, he could not surpass the Fifth Army.
But what happened next was somewhat beyond people's expectations.
Although the corpse group lost two million in number, there were still a huge number of eighteen million in total.
It is not easy to adjust such a large number of corpses in place.
Since midnight yesterday, the corpse group has been adjusting.
The adjustment lasted for more than ten hours.
Large groups of corpses arrived on the battlefield and began to set up an encirclement in Chasing Light City.
Little Corpse Girl's tactic is very simple, but also very practical, that is, first carry out a large siege to completely cut off the people in Chasing Light City's escape route.
Unlike Hezhou, Zhuguang City is surrounded by water on both sides. It is difficult to attack after breaking the ice, and it is not easy to encircle it, because the opponent can escape through the waterway.
Chasing Light City is not an option. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides. There is only one Fengming River that can lead to the outside world, and it is not a big river. It is unrealistic to break through the ice and leave.
Therefore, the encirclement of the corpse group was very large, with a thickness of more than fifty kilometers, and the city of Zhuguang was completely surrounded.
The adjustment didn't come to an end until eight o'clock in the evening the next day.
During this process, the artillery fire in Chasing Light City kept ringing, and various cannons fired continuously, causing damage to the corpses.
Faced with this situation, the little zombie girl didn't pay attention at all. She asked the zombies to keep a certain distance and didn't give artillery fire a chance to kill a large area. You can blast the rest if you want. There are plenty of zombies and she doesn't care at all.
It was not until noon the next day that the artillery fire in Zhuguang City gradually calmed down.
At this time, some people analyzed that the Light Chasing Army might not have too much ammunition.
This kind of thinking is normal. No one’s cannon can fire all the time, and no one can afford the consumption.
Throughout the day, the corpse group still had no intention of attacking. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening, when night fell, that the adjusted corpse group finally moved.
Maybe the little zombie girl didn't plan to attack during the day at all, and only the night was the home ground of the zombies.
Occupying the home field advantage, the zombies' first wave of offensive was overwhelming.
Countless ordinary zombies, as well as some mutated rats, quickly surged toward Light Chaser City from all directions like a sea wave.
This tactic is the tactic of clearing landmines.
Faced with this situation, Tang Zheng was a little helpless. The number of zombies was too large, and this moment would come sooner or later.
Half a million landmines were laid outside the city, but they were destroyed by the trampling of these cannon fodder.
Of course, the landmines also killed a large number of zombies, but the little corpse girl's goal was achieved.
As the mine array of the Light Chasing Army was trampled, the brutal attack and defense of the city wall began.
This scene is similar to the previous siege of Zhuguang City and Hezhou City. In the early stage, the troops practiced target practice and eliminated as many zombies as possible.
But as the zombies continue to approach, the defender's situation will become difficult.
Especially when corpses pile up on the city wall, casualties will begin to appear.
When the battle started, no one expected that this battle would never stop.
On the first night, the soldiers of the Light Chasing Army fought back tenaciously. Their morale was high and they had sufficient ammunition, which caused great damage to the corpses.
During the day the next day, the zombies gradually approached the 500-meter radius of the city wall, but never crossed this red line.
People originally thought they might take a break the next night, but the zombies didn't stop at all, not even for a moment, and continued to attack the next night.
That night, the Light Chasing Army also struggled to support itself, but the corpse group also advanced to a distance of a hundred meters from the city wall.
During the day on the third day, the zombies still didn't stop for a moment. Wave after wave hit the city wall like a sea wave.
The Light Chasing Army began to use flamethrower warriors to continuously spray flames to prevent the zombies from approaching.
However, approaching such a general trend is irreversible. The zombies still advanced to the Light Chaser City when night fell that day.
On the night of the third day, the pile of corpses slowly piled up.
Throughout the night, the pile of corpses was burned and piled up, piled up and burned again. Repeatedly stepped on, it became more and more compact. The final six-meter pile of corpses was almost difficult to burn.
A total of twenty corpses were piled up around the entire city wall of Chasing Light City, and there were attack points everywhere.
What's more important is that the Light Chasing Army is beginning to show signs of being unable to sustain itself.
After all, zombies are tireless, and the soldiers of the Light Chasing Army are still flesh and blood after all. They have not gotten any rest for three days and three nights.
Moreover, people also discovered that during these three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the main force of zombies had basically not been used.
Whether it is mutated birds or advanced zombies, they have basically never been in battle.
The arduous and bloody battle of the Light Chasing Army has been wasting away the opponent's cannon fodder.
Despite this, zombie corpses still piled up under the Light Chaser City.
Although the Light Chasing Army has eliminated more than five million zombies in the past few days, and including the previous eliminations, the total has killed more than seven million, the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards the zombies.
In this way, the siege of the Light Chasing Army lasted for more than seventy hours, and the time came to the fourth day.
