Chapter 274 Three days and three nights

  The bomber turned back in the air and carried out a second round of bombing.

  The effect of the second round is slightly worse than the first round, after all, the mice are not so dense.

   But there is not much difference. If the first round can kill 150,000 rats, the second round will also kill more than 100,000.

  Two rounds of thermobaric bombardment instantly reduced the mutated rat population by more than half.

  Combined with the previous conventional bombing, the rats here have lost about three hundred thousand.

   The group of rats marching crazily was scared, or in other words, the little corpse girl behind couldn't accept this loss either.

   The group of rats that were still advancing stopped and began to retreat gradually.

   And Tang Zheng didn't let the plane continue to follow the bombing, after all the sky is not safe.

   Today's mutated birds can fly up to 10,000 meters in the air casually. It is best not to send out fighters lightly without guaranteeing safety.

  Of course fighter jets can be dispatched with super high flight speed, as long as they are careful, but the attack surface of fighter jets is relatively small, Tang Zheng thinks that now is not the time to dispatch fighter jets.

  The appearance of thermobaric bombs was considered a great favor to Tang Zheng, the opponent's mutated mouse failed to detonate the minefield after all.

  If the minefield has not been detonated, then there is still a barrier in Zhuguang City, and the sense of psychological security is different.

  At this moment, Tang Zheng is also very emotional about the power of high technology.

  The mutated birds and mutated mice killed during this period alone can almost compare to the millions of corpses led by Chen Feilong in terms of combat effectiveness.

  But in such a short period of two hours, the Light Chasing Army caused huge damage. If the city was built with this combat power, Chen Feilong's corpses would be wiped out almost instantly.

  The attack methods of the mutated birds and mutated mice were lost, and there were no more moths from the corpse group. All the zombies still maintained their running speed and scattered formation, advancing against the artillery fire of the Light Chaser.

  The cannons of the Light Chaser Army rang out in the middle of the night until dawn, still bombarding the approaching corpses.

   Until the cannon continues to be fired and is about to be scrapped, this round of bombing is considered to have stopped.

   At this time, the vanguard of the corpse group finally approached ten kilometers outside Zhuguang City after paying a huge price.

  The corpses all over the mountains and plains occupy the entire field of vision, and maintain a relatively scattered formation, enclosing all the places you can see.

  However, the corpses were not in a hurry to attack. They were constantly bombarded by the Light Chasing Army this 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 to resolve the two attacks of the zombies.

   On the first night, the offensive and defensive battle didn't really start, but Tang Zheng's side has already achieved good results.

  According to the battle statistics, the continuous bombardment of the Light Chaser Army has caused at least 1.5 million deaths among the corpses.

  Including the loss of mutated birds and mutated mice, the corpses marched to the city of Chasing Light, and lost at least two million people.

   The battle hasn't really started yet, and the elimination of two million is already a glorious result for the Light Chasing Army.

  The fighting situation of the Light Chasing Army last night shocked the world again.

  If fighter jets and bombers are strategic deterrents and let people see the advanced technology of the Light Chasing Army, then the air defense operation against the mutant birds last night can be regarded as a model of military literacy.

  You can clearly see through the broadcast on the TV station that at the very beginning, the Light Chasing Army was not prepared for the sudden attack of the mutated birds.

  That was a misunderstanding of thinking, and most people would not be able to compare it at all. The mutated bird would launch a surprise attack, and would directly attack the residents without entanglement with the defenders.

  The Light Chasing Army fought in a hurry, and under normal circumstances, they would have suffered heavy losses.

  But in that unfavorable situation, the Light Chasing Army resisted abruptly.

   You know, that was a raid of half a million mutant birds.

  The light-chasing army not only resisted, but also killed a large number of mutated birds, protecting the lives and property of residents.

  This not only reflects the tactical quality of the Light Chasing Army, but also reflects their importance to the people.

   Once the TV program was broadcast, the people in many bases in Hanyue praised the actions of the Light Chasing Army unanimously.

  Only such an army can reassure the people and give them a sense of belonging.

  In comparison, the actions of the troops at their base are much inferior.

  In addition to air defense operations, there is also the scene of thermobaric bombs washing the ground and bombing the mutant rats, which also brings great shock to people.

   There were many thermobaric bombs of this kind in the past, but now they are treasures, and the stock of each company is very small.

  Because a lot of rare minerals are needed to make this kind of thing, everyone is poor and white now, and almost no mineral reserves are left, so this kind of bomb is naturally produced less.

  The ten thermobaric bombs of the Light Chasing Army defeated the gathered group of mutant rats, which also showed the prosperity of the Light Chasing Army.

  A place with advanced technology, developed economy, high military literacy, and united people is presented to people in a sideways way.

   And Tang Zheng, a name that was previously only known to people in the Northern Territory, has gradually spread throughout the country through this method, and is known to people in other survival bases in the country.

   Knowing what Tang Zheng did, many survivors will feel good about him, which is an advantage.

  However, through his comparison, many leaders began to hate him, which is also a disadvantage.

   Which one is better or worse between the two will be left to time to witness.

  However, for the current siege battle, no one is optimistic about the Light Chasing Army.

  There is no other reason, the scale of zombies is too large, and the city of Chasing Light is not small, the consumption of the defensive side must be very large.

  Even if Tang Zheng's inner city has a production line, no one believes that any production line can support such a large-scale war.

   After all, the 280,000 people of the Fifth Army were exhausted in the end, no matter how great Tang Zheng's potential was, it was impossible for him to surpass the Fifth Army.    But what happened next was somewhat beyond people's expectations.

  Although the corpse group has lost 2 million people, it still has a huge number of 18 million.

   With such a large number of corpses, it is not easy to adjust them in place.

  Since yesterday midnight, the corpse group has been adjusting.

  The adjustment lasted for more than ten hours.

  A large number of corpses arrived on the battlefield, and began to set up an encirclement circle in Chasing Light City.

  Little Corpse Girl’s tactic is very simple, but it is also very practical, that is, to encircle and completely cut off the retreat of the people in Chasing Light City.

  Zhuguang City is not like Hezhou. It is surrounded by water on both sides. It is difficult to attack after the ice is broken, and it is not easy to encircle it, because the opponent can escape by water.

  Zhuguang City can’t do it, it’s surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there’s only one Fengming River that can lead to the outside world, and it’s not a big river, so it’s unrealistic to break through the ice and leave.

  So the encirclement of the corpse group is very large, with a thickness of more than 50 kilometers, which will impede the encirclement of Zhuguang City.

   The adjustment didn't come to an end until 8:00 p.m. the next day.

  During this process, the gunfire in Chasing Light City kept ringing, and all kinds of lucky cannons fired uninterruptedly, killing and wounding the corpses all the time.

  Faced with this situation, the little corpse girl didn’t care at all. She kept the zombies at a certain distance, and didn’t give the artillery fire a chance to kill a large area.

   It was not until noon the next day that the artillery fire in Zhuguang City gradually quieted 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’t keep firing, and no one can afford the consumption.

  The group of corpses still had no intention of attacking throughout the day, until eight o'clock in the evening, when night fell, the group of corpses that had been adjusted in place finally moved.

   Maybe the little corpse girl didn't plan to attack during the day at all, and only night is the home of the zombies.

   Taking advantage of the home field, the first wave of zombies' offensive was overwhelming.

  Countless ordinary zombies, as well as some mutated mice, rushed towards the City of Chasing Light from all directions quickly like a tidal wave.

   This tactic is the tactic of clearing landmines.

   Faced with this situation, Tang Zheng was also a little helpless, the number of zombies is too large, this moment will come sooner or later.

  500,000 landmines were placed outside the city, and under the trample of these cannon fodder, they rumbled to nothing.

  Of course the mines also killed a large number of zombies, but the goal of the little corpse girl was also achieved.

  As the minefields of the Light Chaser Army were trampled out, the tragic attack and defense of the city wall began.

   This scene is similar to the previous Siege of Zhuguang City and Hezhou Siege. In the early stage, the troops were shooting targets to eliminate zombies as much as possible.

  But as the zombies keep approaching, the situation for the defenders will become more difficult.

   Especially when the corpses piled up on the city wall, casualties will start to appear.

  When the battle started, no one expected that this battle would not stop after a fight.

   On the first night, the soldiers of the Chasing Light Army fought back tenaciously, with high morale and sufficient ammunition, causing great damage to the corpses.

  During the next day, the zombies gradually approached the range of 500 meters from the city wall, but they never crossed the red line.

  People thought they might take a break the next night, but the zombies didn't stop at all, never stopped for a moment, and continued to attack the next night.

   This night, the light-chasing army also managed to support it, but the corpses also advanced to a distance of 100 meters from the city wall.

  In the daytime of the third day, the zombies still did not stop for a moment, wave after wave, hitting the city wall like a sea tide.

  The Light Chaser began to use flamethrower fighters to continuously spray flames to prevent zombies from approaching.

   But approaching this general trend is irreversible, and the zombies still advanced to the city of Chasing Light when night fell on this day.

  The night of the third day was the process of the pile of corpses slowly rising.

  Overnight, the pile of corpses was burned and piled up, piled up and burned again, stepped on repeatedly, and became more and more compacted. Finally, the pile of six meters of corpses was almost difficult to be burned.

   Around the entire wall of Chasing Light City, there are a total of 20 piles of corpses, and there are attack points everywhere.

   And more importantly, the Chasing Light Army began to show signs of being unable to hold on.

   After all, zombies are tireless, and the soldiers of the Light Chaser Army are still flesh and blood after all. They have not had a rest for three days and three nights.

   Moreover, people also discovered that during the three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the main force of the zombies has basically not been used.

  Whether it is a mutated bird or a high-level zombie, they have basically never been in battle.

  The arduous **** battle of the Light Chasing Army has always been the opponent's cannon fodder.

   Despite this, the corpses of the zombies piled up under the city of Chasing Light.

  Although in the past few days, the Light Chasing Army has eliminated a total of more than five million zombies, and with the previous eliminations, the total has killed more than seven million, but the balance of victory has begun to tilt in favor of the zombies.

   In this way, the siege of the Light Chasing Army continued for more than 70 hours, and the time came to the fourth day.
