Chapter 312 Confrontation (please subscribe)
Boom!
As the vanguard of the zombie tide entered the shooting range, the major mercenary groups were of course unceremonious and opened fire immediately.
The bombardment of hand cannons and the strafing of Ripper rifles took place in succession. The zombies rushing in front fell one after another.
The members of the third-level mercenary group are definitely the elite among the mercenaries. In addition, last night, they just experienced a battle with millions of zombies, so they have rich experience in dealing with zombies. The trendy experience is not exaggerated.
In such a battlefield now, these mercenary groups really don't have much pressure, and they even feel more relaxed.
Of course this is not their illusion, it is indeed the case.
On the one hand, this is because the zombie density of a zombie tide of 20,000 zombies cannot be compared with a zombie tide of one million levels.
On the other hand, because it is daytime now, and it is also the noon time when the sun is the brightest, the combat effectiveness of these zombies has dropped by more than 20% compared to usual.
Of course, there is also one aspect that is incomparable to yesterday’s war.
That is the current ammunition, which they provide themselves, and the quantity is still limited.
This has resulted in these mercenary groups not daring to consume so unscrupulously.
For example, when bombing with hand cannons, they not only have to choose the place with the most zombies, but they also have to discuss it with the team next door to avoid wasting two shells landing in the same place.
Even when shooting with the Ripper rifle, a bunch of bullets passed by. After slightly reducing the pressure, you had to switch to burst mode and fire one shot at a time.
Even those combat robots all turned on the melee mode at this time and stood in front, slashing with machetes instead of turning on machine guns to shoot.
In this case, they save ammunition, but the efficiency of killing zombies will naturally decrease.
Lin Xinghai stood on the top floor of the shopping mall, watching this scene with a calm expression. Although the limited ammunition would limit the performance of the major mercenary groups, it was enough to deal with such a scene.
He didn't even have any intention of interfering.
The battle was fierce, and batches of zombies were harvested, but more zombies joined the battlefield.
Time passes slowly, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour.
The battle soon lasted for a full hour. At this time, the major mercenary groups were still fighting fiercely on the first line of defense, and the zombie wave had not yet been able to break through this line of defense.
But Lin Xinghai had to order a retreat because the zombie corpses piled up outside the defense line were already as high as a hill.
The zombies behind crawl through the "mountain of corpses". If they rush from top to bottom, it will be difficult to kill the mercenaries below the defense line. If they continue, problems will occur sooner or later.
As the retreat order was issued, each mercenary group retreated in an orderly manner under the cover of artillery fire.
In the temporary command post, Lin Xinghai looked at a soldier in charge of intelligence collection and asked: "How many zombies have been killed so far? What are our casualties?"
"Sir, a total of 82,800 zombies were killed. 8 people were injured, 1 died, and 2,080 combat robots were damaged." The soldier reported quickly.
Lin Xinghai rubbed his forehead. The number of zombies they had killed now exceeded the maximum zombie tide estimated by the staff.
And this is far from over. There are still more than 50,000 corpses besieging their settlement point outside.
And the three "predators" were still roaring continuously, calling for other zombies to come over. Even in order to speed up the efficiency of calling zombies, the three "hunters" have been separated and roared in three different directions.
"Let the mercenary group below think of ways to save bullets. This battle will probably continue to be fought."
"If we want to end it, either our bullets will run out, or someone nearby will We will kill all the zombies so that the 'hunters' can no longer summon other zombies," Lin Xinghai said with a sigh.
Other people in the temporary command post were unable to do anything after hearing this.
Because this is not a question of whether you can beat or not, but who can kill the other first.
"That's right." Lin Xinghai seemed to have thought of something and ordered: "The mechas of the major mercenary groups are important combat forces. Don't let them idle. Take advantage of now to change the defense line. Let me go out and kill them all, use cold weapons to fight, and you can also shoot a wave of bullets.”
As the order was issued, mechas rushed out of the shopping mall at the clearing point.
At first, everyone didn’t think it was anything. After all, it was a very common phenomenon for mechas to rush out to kill the corpses, especially among the weak first and second tier mercenary groups. This scene.
But at this time, as more and more mechas rushed out, an emotion called shock gradually filled the hearts of everyone.
You must know that they have 20 mercenary groups here, including 15 third-level mercenary groups, and 5 mechas in each mercenary group. There are 75 mechas here alone.
Coupled with the remaining second-level mercenary groups and several mechas from the quick reaction force, there were hundreds of mechas rushing out at this time.
Each mecha weighs more than ten tons, and hundreds of mechas charge together. Just the rumbling sound of stepping on the ground has an overwhelming feeling.
"This is really spectacular. I have mentioned before that the military should form a mecha brigade. Unfortunately, there was not enough funds to expand the shelter at that time, so the matter was dropped."
“I didn’t expect that we could see it here today. If we had pulled up a mecha team like this when the zombie wave broke out last night, we might not have to fight so hard.” Zhang Yue He said with emotion on his face.
Lin Xinghai watched hundreds of mechas rushing into the tide of zombies, just like an elephant rushing into an ant nest. He could trample several zombies to death with one step, and slashed with the weapon in his hand. , and can kill a dozen zombies.
The combined efficiency of hundreds of mechas in killing zombies is not much slower than that of more than 5,000 mercenaries.
"If such a mecha team could be formed, the combat power would indeed be terrifying. But under the circumstances last night, it was impossible to form such a mecha team." Lin Xinghai shook his head after looking at it for a moment.
"The defense line was very tight yesterday. If these mechas from the mercenary group are also withdrawn, believe it or not, the defense line will collapse in less than half an hour."
"As for today The reason why we can create a mecha brigade is because the entire mercenary guild and more than half of the third-level mercenary groups are here. If it were normal, how could such a scene happen? "
" What's more, in the face of such a large zombie wave, mechas can only be used as a backup force. After all, piloting mechas puts too much pressure on the senses, and it is impossible to sustain a long battle for several hours." Xinghai said.
Zhang Yue opened his mouth, but found that what Lin Xinghai said was right and there was no way to refute it.
Within 15 minutes of the mecha battle, Lin Xinghai asked them to retreat. The backbone of the mecha battle still had to be in good condition.
With these 15 minutes of respite, the condition of all the mercenaries has improved a lot.
But as the zombie tide reached the second line of defense, the battle fell into an anxious state again.
