End of the World

"Is it really a good idea to do this?" Dafeng looked at the towering tower. He didn't feel it from a distance, but he realized how high it was when he got down to his feet.

"Yeah!" Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua nodded at the same time.

"The view from above is good, you can provide better support with the rocket launcher!"

"Okay, I'm a little afraid of heights anyway!" Dafeng could only agree.

"Don't worry, we will cover you!" Qiao Xinghua patted Dafeng on the shoulder.

So the three of them took a lot of effort to climb to the top of the tower. Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua brought up all the rockets, a total of nine.

"Damn, it's a bit windy up here!" Dafeng panted. He knew that this would have some impact on the trajectory.

Dafeng tried to lift the launcher and head towards the battlefield.

"Can you fight?" Wu Bin asked.

"it should be OK!"

"Be careful, don't hit your own people!" Qiao Xinghua reminded.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Bin looked at the battlefield. The distance was not far and the situation on the battlefield was not too bad.

At this moment on the battlefield, all the machine guns were madly pouring fire on the zombies. The machine gun barrels were all red. The soldiers on the side kept pouring water to cool them down, and the gun barrels stirred up bursts of white smoke.

The mortar shells at this position had been used up long ago, leaving only machine gun bullets. The logistics side didn't have many shells either, and there were other places where they were needed more. The tank battalion had already begun counterattacking, rushing towards the area with the densest concentration of zombies, so naturally they couldn't take care of this side.

"boom!"

A sniper knocked down a zombie dog. The most leisurely person on the field is the sniper. They kill targets that pose a great threat, so the sniper himself needs to be calm.

"eighty!"

The sniper thought to himself that he had killed eighty zombie dogs so far in the battle, and there were more than a hundred other mutated zombies.

"Ok?"

Through the sniper scope, he saw a group of new zombies coming behind the group of corpses. They came from the pile of corpses in the hangar, and they actually exploded.

"Attention! A large number of new zombies are approaching!"

After receiving the sniper's warning, there was some commotion on the position, but it was quickly suppressed. Two heavy machine guns turned their guns and fired at the insect corpses in the distance.

These two heavy machine guns are Type 89 heavy machine guns, which use Type 89 12.7mm machine gun bullets. They have powerful firepower, but their disadvantages are huge recoil, severe gun body shaking, large bullet dispersion area, and limited damage to distant targets. Although they seem to have strong firepower, they are actually very accurate and many bullets are missed.

"Kaka!"

At this critical moment, one of the machine guns jammed, and continuous high-intensity shooting was inevitable.

The firepower was reduced by half. When the machine gunner was busy dealing with the situation, the zombies took the opportunity to rush in a long distance. They joined the zombies in front and posed a serious threat to the position.

"Grenade! Throw!"

The zombies rushed to a few dozen meters in front of the position, and dozens of smoking grenades flew to their feet.

"Boom boom boom!"

Then there were a series of explosions, and the zombies were blown all over the place. The zombies in the front suffered heavy casualties, and few of them were intact. However, this was not enough, as the zombies behind would soon fill in, especially the mutated insect zombies, which were even faster.

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the zombies were engulfed by flames. The explosion occurred where the mutated zombies were concentrated.

"What's going on? Where does the artillery fire come from?" The incident happened suddenly and many people on the position were slightly affected by the explosion, but they were not seriously injured.

"Report, three people were found on the right tower, one of them was carrying a rocket launcher!"

"You've arrived at the right time. Everyone, beat them hard!" The company commander of the position said viciously when he saw friendly artillery fire causing heavy casualties to the mutant zombies.

The Dafeng here was a little sluggish after the launch, and its power seemed to be greater than the last time it hit the hangar.

"Brother Bin..."

"It's okay, no one on our side was hurt!" Wu Bin observed the position and thought that the troops must have been a little surprised.

"What was fired just now should be a single-soldier fuel-air explosive bomb. This is a good thing!"

Dafeng nodded. Before setting off, the second battalion commander specifically reminded them to pay attention to the surrounding friendly forces when using fuel-air explosive bombs, but several people did not distinguish between the two types of ammunition they carried.

Qiao Xinghua reloaded the ammunition and patted Dafeng on the shoulder as a signal.

"Okay, attack where the zombies are most concentrated!"

With the first experience, Dafeng slightly modified the trajectory, aimed at the zombie group and pressed the launch button. Dafeng's body shook violently, and the rocket rushed towards the zombies with a tail flame.

"Attention, watch out for rockets!"

The soldiers in the position saw the warning of the rocket with a trailing flame, and almost as soon as the sound was heard, the rocket hit the group of zombies.

"boom!"

This time, Dafeng adjusted its trajectory and had no impact on the position.

"Well done!" The soldiers cheered. Most of the zombies at the front of the position were destroyed and the pressure suddenly dropped.

The jamming problem of the heavy machine gun was resolved, the firepower of the position was strengthened, the last zombie in the vicinity was smashed by bullets, and the crisis of the position was temporarily resolved.

On the other side, the team that went to snipe the four-winged insect succeeded. They successfully eliminated the four-winged insect. Before falling to the ground, the four-winged insect let out a long howl at the sky, and some of the corpse moth insects in the sky seemed to have received some kind of induction and actually left the battlefield. The remaining insects became fewer and fewer, until the last corpse moth insect was shot down, and the threat in the air was finally lifted.

Although the corpse moths have been eliminated, there are still many zombies on the ground and the danger still exists.

There was a roar coming from the distant sky, and the Army Aviation Corps' armed helicopters moved in to provide support, eliminating the final threat.

The helicopters directly launched a saturation attack on the zombies, and all kinds of rockets and bombs were thrown at the zombies at no cost. If it weren't for the corpse moths, the troops would not have had such a hard time. The armed helicopter formation had already entered the scene to provide support. When making the plan, considering that it was an airport battle, they gave up artillery support. The distance was too far and there was a fear of damaging important airport facilities by missing the target. Therefore, the support of armed helicopters was particularly important.

Unfortunately, the huge number of corpse moths disrupted the plan, the anti-aircraft firepower equipped by the troops was slightly insufficient, and unexpected mutant zombies and four-winged moths appeared. After the battle, the troops transmitted the relevant data back to the shelter.

With the support of armed helicopters, most of the zombies were eliminated and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. The next task was to clean up the battlefield and completely clear the air force base.

Wu Bin and his two companions returned to their respective units. Many people were surprised that they were still alive. When the troops were trying to retrace their steps, the three discovered that the new regiments had lost more than half of their members, especially the New Fourth Regiment, which had lost more than two-thirds of its members, and many people were even separated.

Looking at the more than 200 people in front of them, the two battalion commanders sighed secretly, wondering how many of them would be able to return alive in the end. Now all the members of the New Fourth Regiment combined only had this many people, which was at most the number of a reinforced company.

The first battalion commander signaled the second battalion commander to speak. The two battalions might be merged at that time, and he didn't want to say much.

"I'm glad you're still standing here listening to my lecture. You've passed the first round of tests, but that doesn't mean you're qualified soldiers. I'm very dissatisfied with your combat performance. If you put aside your selfishness and unite a little, I believe the New Fourth Regiment will have more than just these few people. Go back and reflect on any problems you have. You're all one on the battlefield, and no one can stay out of it..."

"I won't say anything else. Take a rest and then go clean up the battlefield!" Second Battalion Commander White said at last. Now is not the time to rest. According to the latest order, the veteran troops will clear all the zombies in the air force base, and the new regiment will be responsible for cleaning up the corpses.

Gunfire rang out again in the air force base. The small number of remaining zombies were unable to form a large group, so the troops were divided into small teams and cleared the areas one by one according to the previously planned areas.

Without the interference of corpse moths, armed helicopters hovered in the air, receiving patrol calls from the ground team. The shelter sent transport helicopters to deliver supplies to the combat troops and take the seriously wounded back to the shelter for treatment.

After the successful operation at the airport, Lu Yun led his troops to enter the airport. Although the initial action was frustrated and the troops suffered heavy casualties, they finally achieved their expectations. The next task was to garrison the air force base. A tank battalion here needed to return to the shelter and then escort the engineering troops.

In the subsequent plan, the engineering troops will build two lines of defense outside the air force base, and half of the shelter’s defense forces will be deployed on the defense lines to guard the air force base until the city wall is completed.

"The first batch of supplies has been delivered by the Army Aviation and is being unloaded. The tank battalion has been ordered to return. It is estimated that the engineering troops will arrive by tomorrow night at the latest!" Hu Shaolong walked into the command center and reported to Lu Yun.

"So how's the progress inside the base?" Lu Yun looked up at Hu Shaolong. The only thing he was dissatisfied with in this operation was the loss of the troops, especially the air defense force's ammunition which was almost exhausted.

"Everything goes well and the battle can be ended before dinner!" Hu Shaolong replied. He had already made all the arrangements.

"Yes!" Lu Yun nodded. He was quite satisfied with the answer. "Where are the four-winged corpse moths that were killed by the special forces?"

"I have already reported to the headquarters. The bodies of the four-winged moth insects have been loaded onto trucks and sent back to the tank battalion!"

The appearance of the new four-winged corpse moth was beyond everyone's expectations. When the shelter received the news, it took it very seriously, immediately summoned experts to study it, and instructed the combat troops to transport the corpses back.

In addition to the four-winged corpse moth, the newly emerged insect corpses have also attracted attention. As far as is known, under certain circumstances they will explode, their body fluids contain acid, which will corrode human skin, and their body fluids are also mixed with viruses. If people who are splashed are not dealt with in time, they will be infected. The previous infection incident in the temporary camp was caused by this.

In other words, their blood is poisonous, which means that their danger factor increases exponentially. They cannot be engaged in close combat without special protection, so insect corpses are listed as one of the primary targets for long-range attacks.

The sun was about to set below the western horizon, and the gunfire in the air force base had basically stopped. The soldiers had no time to rest, and they were busy building defensive fortifications.

The wall of the air force base was severely damaged in the previous shelling and it is too late to repair it. We can only consolidate the temporary defense line tonight.

As night falls, the temperature drops sharply, and with the evening breeze, there is a hint of chill. It is expected to be a bit cool tomorrow morning.
