The sudden appearance of those zombies made the soldiers lose their calmness and fall into fear and despair.
Now, this team has no heavy weapons, no air support, no combat vehicles, and several tanks without ammunition and armored vehicles facing the tide of corpses, which may not be more effective than a few pieces of wood.
Some people stood there, some covered their faces with their hands, and some left their weapons powerlessly
There were even two soldiers who had kneeled on the side of the road, raised their hands high above their heads, made a complicated and strange gesture, and murmured and prayed.
Cheng Zijie immediately noticed the two soldiers keenly and recognized their gesture at a glance: it was a gesture he had seen at Haiyuan University, the believers of the King of Stars used when praying.
When did the army have believers of the King of Stars?
Cheng Zijie was extremely surprised. Look at these two soldiers, they were not college students who had just been accepted into the army, but skilled professional soldiers.
So, after the teachers and students of Haiyuan University were brought back to the base by the army, they had spread the teachings of the King of Stars?
And some grassroots soldiers have been developed and began to believe in the king of stars?
But at this time I don't have time to think about these things
Cheng Zijie strode towards the tank car that Captain Fang was riding as he was stunned. Captain Fang was sweating all over his face, his hands holding the telescope were weakly placed on the hatch cover of the tank turret, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
Of course, now we can't accuse him of losing his calmness and falling into fear
These grassroots officers are also human beings. After experiencing the difficulties and hardships that lasted so long yesterday and now, on the way back with a completely relaxed spirit, it is understandable that it is completely unprepared for the sudden appearance of zombies.
I can only say that officers as outstanding as Dai Xiaotian are rare
Cheng Zijie jumped to the edge of the turret and patted Captain Fang on the shoulder. Looking at the zombies slowly approaching like a tide that was floating across the beach on the horizon, he asked in a deep voice: Captain Fang, isn't this the route you came?
Captain Fang was shocked and woke up from his lost state. He immediately turned around and shouted wildly to his subordinates: Battle preparation - stand up for me - retreat immediately and establish a defensive position -
Some platoon leaders and squad leaders began to walk through the team, trying to gather their soldiers, organize them to pick up their weapons, and prepare for combat
A second lieutenant platoon leader angrily kicked a soldier and ordered him to pick up his rifle immediately
A squad leader used a butt stock to stop the prayers of the two soldiers
The tank also began to reverse and was about to retreat to the mountain spring just now and then establish a defensive position.
Captain Fang wiped his sweat while saying to Cheng Zijie: This is the route we passed when we came... When we came, there were absolutely no such zombies here, why did so many suddenly appear? Cheng, Chief Cheng, what should we do now?
Cheng Zijie frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment
All the zombies on the horizon have left the tunnel and expanded their formation, so dark that they can't see at a glance.
Obviously, this is the zombies of Yangmen, organized and commanded, and their number is also a typical 50,000 cluster of Yangmen.
They should have quietly bypassed the battlefield under the cover of the mountains in the battle last night and came here to ambush.
No one could have thought that the smart zombie in Yangmen had a backup plan and arranged a group of ambushers here.
Of course, these ambushers may also be preparing to ambush reinforcements passing through the tunnel like their similar species heading north.
The smart zombies of Yangmen probably issued some simple commands to the command-type zombies among these zombies, allowing them to lead their kind to lurk in the tunnel and launch an attack when they are approaching.
Although the command-type zombies do not have any real wisdom, they can remember simple commands and execute them without any fault.
And now, it discovered the approach of the human army and began to execute the orders
In any case, the zombies are still three kilometers away from us and are still setting up formations, so they don’t have all their strength to launch an attack. Cheng Zijie watched the zombies’ actions and calmly ordered: You should join Captain Gu and Lieutenant Bao immediately to see how to establish a defense. I will report to Major General Yan.
Captain Fang was already in vain and immediately followed Cheng Zijie's orders.
After agreeing, he climbed down the tank with his hands and feet, ran quickly to the rear of the team, looking for Lieutenant Bao and Captain Gu.
Cheng Zijie immediately called Major General Yan again
As soon as Major General Yan was connected, Major General Yan took the lead: Mr. Cheng, the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that have been patrolling your retreat route have found that there are a large number of zombies ahead of you! This is our responsibility! The reconnaissance aircraft did not find any zombies along the way, so we all relaxed our vigilance. We did not expect that there would be so many zombies ambushing in this last tunnel. We are urgently discussing countermeasures, but the situation is not optimistic.
Cheng Zijie tried hard to keep calm and asked: Now there is no way to provide air support in time.
Major General Yan sighed in frustration: Because he relies too much on the reconnaissance plane's intelligence, everyone has completely lost the necessary guard. No one expected to be ambushed on the way to successfully retreat. So, I ordered the pilots who had fought hard all night last night to go back to have a meal and rest. I am afraid that they have just had breakfast now. They are going to bed and have all the fighter planes put into the hangar, removed their military equipment, and prepared for maintenance and maintenance of the ground staff for the whole night. They just loaded ammunition for the UAV that was preparing for live ammunition training today, and then went to the cafeteria to have breakfast. I am afraid that they have not finished eating yet.
Cheng Zijie was silent. He also understood that the air force personnel were experiencing a high-intensity war, and their spirits were already difficult to support.
Major General Yan's voice was filled with unspeakable regret: I have ordered them to concentrate immediately, but... Not to mention the mental state of the pilots, if they were flying, they should be able to hold on for a while now, but I just let them relax, and I am afraid that their body and spirit will be completely destroyed in such a situation. In this case, they will suddenly become nervous and enter the combat state again. It is really against human instinct. Not to mention that the fighter planes are waiting for maintenance. After the ground crew is concentrated, they will be re-conditioned again... Lianshan's friendly forces are almost the same, and the combat readiness state has been lifted. This is my responsibility. Now, except for sending air strike forces as soon as possible, I can't do anything about it. Speaking of this, Major General Yan's voice became hoarse: I didn't expect that I was about to retreat successfully... I was so careless...
How long will it take for the fighter to arrive? Under such circumstances, only Cheng Zijie can keep calm
Because no matter how many zombies attack, as long as he wants to leave, at least he can retreat completely.
If it goes well, it will probably take at least half an hour to take off. Major General Yan can no longer remain calm, his voice is filled with unspeakable despair.
Everyone understands that fighter jets that will take off in half an hour will definitely not catch up with the teams supporting here.
Cheng Zijie looked at the zombies from afar. They had completely expanded their fronts, maintained the speed of human walking, crossed the gentle mountain fields, and steadily approached in his own direction.
In any case, please do your best. Once the zombies launch an impact, we have no danger to defend here, and we have abandoned heavy weapons and no air support. If there is no air support, we may not last long. Speaking of this, Cheng Zijie sighed.
If the bridge was not blown up just now, the team would have time to withdraw from the bridge.
As long as you can defend the bridgehead, you can probably withstand the attacks of these zombies
But now, behind this team is the bottomless valley, and they have no way out to retreat.
Zombies can unfold an open enough formation, surround them from three directions, and launch a fierce charge along the gentle hillside.
This is a real battle
Mr. Cheng... I'm really sorry if the situation is critical, when he said this, Major General Yan paused in pain and whispered: Please ensure your own safety
Cheng Zijie had to smile bitterly
Yes, I have the ability to escape from the battlefield, but the soldiers and civilians here can only end up being flooded by a sea of corpses.
At this time, the team had returned to the spring just now
On the left side of this place is a cliff more than ten meters high, which can at least cover one side of the position
The Thunder Force and the Lingyun Force have all gathered together
They saw the zombies appearing on the horizon and fell into fear uncontrollably
Cheng Zijie's eyes swept over the soldiers, especially those of the Thunder troops who came to the battlefield with him, who temporarily pieced together, but who were average in ability but brave in fighting, the members of the reconnaissance squad who hunted orders to death as he was born and killed, the two female soldiers...
Under the command of Lieutenant Bao, they entered the position with their backs to Cheng Zijie and were soon ready for combat
He couldn't see their faces, but Hou Kelly's words suddenly echoed in his mind: I'm destined to die like a maggot
Are some people really doomed to the fate of a tragic fate?
Live a tragedy before disasters, and die a tragic after disasters?
Cheng Zijie suddenly felt confused and sad, but once again felt that he was so powerless
He knew that he would never be able to fight against the 50,000 zombie army
Wait for General Yan! You just said that the ground crew had mounted ammunition for the unmanned attack aircraft? Cheng Zijie suddenly had an inspiration in his mind and asked anxiously
To Major General Yan's voice, tired and painful: But it's useless. This is to prepare to train a group of operators recruited from Haiyuan University. They have just learned to take off and land. Now they are having a live-fire training. It is already a very risky behavior to operate drones to go to the mountainous areas to perform practical tasks. It can be said that it is impossible. They are still running ten kilometers of off-road outside and conduct some basic military training because the ground crew needs rest. I ordered that they should hang up ammunition for them in advance without waiting for them to come back.
Hearing Major General Yan's explanation, Cheng Zijie could only speak out.
Now this is a real lonely army. Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of zombies, there is no help or a way out.
Now, this team has no heavy weapons, no air support, no combat vehicles, and several tanks without ammunition and armored vehicles facing the tide of corpses, which may not be more effective than a few pieces of wood.
Some people stood there, some covered their faces with their hands, and some left their weapons powerlessly
