Chapter 419: Advancing Step by Step

By noon, the army led by Wang Jin had captured one-third of the city wall of Jiaping City. After preparing fortifications, they began to advance slowly.

On Qingning Street, District C, Jiaping City, a cockroach led the way, followed by two tanks, surrounded by twenty soldiers and thirty velociraptors, and moved towards Qingning Street with the cockroach tank as the core.

Click!

There were many old cars blocking the streets of Qingning. The cockroaches were like a large bulldozer, pushing the old cars away like shoveling garbage, revealing a passage for people and tanks to walk through.

Roar!

When the team entered Qingning Street and stepped into the street still controlled by the zombie group, thousands of zombies crowded on the street were startled, their dark yellow sharp teeth opened, their eyes stared at the enemies that appeared with bloodthirstiness, and led by a ten-meter-tall second-level giant zombie, they roared and stretched out their arms, rushing over at a speed almost the same as that of ordinary people running.

"Open fire!" The platoon leader in charge of this squad roared, commanding his soldiers to quickly rush to the shops on both sides and set up on the windows and balconies, while the rest of the soldiers relied on two tanks for defense.

As for the Zerg, they were commanded by the eye bugs, but the platoon leader had no right to command, and the Zerg's combat was autonomous.

Da da da!

Fierce gunfire sounded, the zombies were very fast, but the bullets fired from the soldiers' muzzles were faster, and the bullets fired from the streets and buildings formed a rain of bullets, exerting great power on the streets more than ten meters wide.

The two heavy machine guns on the tanks were constantly consuming ammunition chains, beating the zombies that rushed over into blood and flesh. Many zombies were shot in two under the huge kinetic energy of the machine gun bullets, and their heads exploded like balloons, splashing red and white on the shops and abandoned cars on both sides of the street.

The second-level giant zombie roared, and ordinary bullets had almost no effect on him. At this time, the bone spurs shot by more than a dozen hydralisks arrived, opening blood holes the size of a sea bowl on the giant zombie. The deadly nerve venom was transmitted through the blood and reached the brain of the second-level giant zombie in an instant.

The result of the venom entering the brain was that the giant zombie was paralyzed, slowed down, and walked shakily. It could not exert half of its full strength. Although it did not die directly because of its strong resistance, the result was definitely not pleasant.

Boom! Boom!

The long gun barrels of the two tanks sprayed huge fireworks, and the huge recoil came, directly pushing the fifty-ton tank back dozens of centimeters. Two armor-piercing shells were shot at an initial velocity of 1000 meters per second, and both hit the chest and lower abdomen of the giant zombie.

The upper body of the second-level giant zombie was covered in flames, and black smoke rose up. Under the attack of armor-piercing bullets, the chest and belly of the giant zombie were torn open, revealing the ribs inside, and a large number of broken internal organs flowed out. The fishy smell made people nauseous and looked horrible.

Injured by this, the second-level giant zombie retreated three steps, and then roared and rushed forward at a faster speed, ignoring the intestines and internal organs dragged on the ground. Every soldier who saw it had a tingling scalp, and the platoon leader hurriedly called the tanker to reload the shells and continue firing.

Seeing that the second-level giant zombie was about to rush in front, a green light shot out from the cockroach's mouth and directly penetrated one of the giant zombie's thighs, corroding the thigh that was as thick as a man's embrace and even the bones.

The giant zombie who lost one leg could not keep his balance. The fast speed made him fall heavily to the ground and slide more than 20 meters, leaving a trail of blood and minced meat.

Roar! The fallen second-level giant zombie was still trying to struggle to stand up, but the cockroach moved its six thighs, roared loudly, and opened its bloody mouth to bite the giant zombie's head.

Like biting an apple, the second-level giant zombie's hard head was pierced by the dagger-like fangs under the cockroach's even more terrifying bite force, and the skull was pierced and exploded, and the red and white liquid mixed with brain matter was scattered all over the ground.

After killing the second-level giant zombie, the cockroach continued to block the intersection ahead, cooperating with the velociraptor to block the passage of the zombies, and killed the zombies that broke through the firepower and came to the front one by one.

The attack method of the zombies rushing on the street was too simple. The rain of bullets fired by the army weakened them layer by layer, and there were swarms of insects in front to kill the missed zombies, so although the number of zombies reached 3,000, they were still wiped out within ten minutes.

At the end of the battle, only fifteen soldiers were killed by two lurkers who suddenly jumped up and climbed over the wall to bypass the Zerg. The rest of the soldiers were safe and sound. Compared with such a result, the death of fifteen people was insignificant. After all, war cannot be without sacrifice.

Wang Jin's troops attacked from all directions. Wang Jin's troops advanced to various streets in Jiaping City, and then occupied and built defensive positions to defend.

The Zombie King sometimes launched a group of zombies to counterattack and recaptured some street areas, but they would soon be recaptured by more of Wang Jin's troops. Although the overall situation had twists and turns, the advantage was still shifted to Wang Jin's side.

The Zombie King roared angrily, and a large number of high-level zombies were sent out by him to participate in the battle for the street areas, including some level 3 and 4 zombies.

Fortunately, Wang Jin was well prepared. When the high-level zombies were dispatched, Wang Jin would immediately send the queen and let the mutants and insect generals ride on flying dragons to support, curbing the counterattack organized by the Zombie King.

Wang Jin's soldiers who participated in the attack this time had all undergone rigorous urban warfare training. They fought in an orderly manner and all actions were arranged in advance. Every time they occupied a place, they would first firmly hold it and wait for the follow-up troops to take over before continuing the attack. They did not attack rashly because of a temporary victory.

This way of attack made the zombie king extremely uncomfortable and angry. Its corpse group was like a group of ants whose nests were flooded with water. Wang Jin's army was the water flowing into the ant nest, which compressed the range of the ants' activities little by little until the ant nest was completely submerged and all the ants were drowned.

The zombie king could only use the refueling tactic constantly, trying to rely on the huge number of corpse groups to wear down the enemy. Unfortunately, no matter how fierce the zombies' offensive was, the continuous and crazy attacks could not break through the blockade of Wang Jin's army.

The defense built by the army using high-rise buildings and streets was too sharp. Basically, as many zombies as came, they died. Not to mention that Wang Jin also occupied the commanding heights and the advantage of air supremacy. The firepower ranged from the ground at the bottom to the roof of the windows of the middle high-rise buildings, and finally the blade insects and host airdrops launched by the sky dragon. The all-round firepower coverage made the zombies experience what it meant to be airtight.

At the forefront of the battlefield street, the piled up zombie bodies here on Qingning Street had reached a height of ten meters. The surging zombies rushed up in waves, but still could not break through the defense line.

The rain of bullets fired from the artillery and heavy machine guns of the street tanks, the flames shot by the soldiers from the windows of the high-rise buildings and the roofs of the houses, the blade insect attacks of the flying dragons in the sky, and the parasites shot by the queen against the high-level zombies, all caused heavy losses to the zombies. At least more than 10,000 bodies fell here, but they still could not recapture this position.
