Chapter 447 Fire!
There are dark clouds in the sky.
It was not clear whether it was a cloud, or radioactive dust, or the smoke of a shell.
In the countryside in the east of Jiashi, low-rise houses are scattered here.
Under the shadow, several mutated cockroaches waved their one-meter-long tentacles, searching for rotten food around them.
They did not respond to the dozen or so people who walked past them. Only the smell of decay can arouse their appetite. Therefore, they are extremely hungry and occasionally try to attack zombies, but often they will be scratched to death by zombies.
If you see a zombie and a mutated cockroach walking together without prejudice, there is no doubt that it must be because of the outbreak of alien species. Because only the tide of alien species will make the alien species temporarily forget their feeding habits and attack the survivors together with the zombies looking for the living.
As for whether there are other cities where the tide of alien species may erupt, no one knows. Most people's footprints are just staying in the territory they are familiar with. Even the furthest caravans only go to the Northern Union.
The scope of the alien tide is limited to Wanghai City. Jiang Chen, who is currently in the suburbs of Jiashi City, only feels that the air is extraordinarily clear.
"The battle situation is very difficult. Yesterday our people advanced 500 meters in the direction of the Jiashi Sports Center, but soon encountered fierce resistance. The mutants got a large number of electromagnetic interference bombs and EMP grenades from nowhere."
"Snipers from the Stalker Corps helped a lot, but as the war zone advanced towards the city, there were too many obstacles. The mutant mortars and grenades also caused heavy casualties to the Stalker Corps."
Seeing the cockroaches by the road scurrying into the shadows, Cheng Weiguo lowered the rifle he was guarding in his hand.
"That's really bad." Jiang Chen grinned, happily leading Cheng Weiguo and a small group of soldiers towards the opposite direction from Jiashi.
The marshal did not get angry with the battle situation, Cheng Weiguo was relieved.
But looking at the front line that was getting farther and farther behind, he gave a wry smile.
"Marshal, may I ask where we are going?"
It's been more than ten kilometers, and if we go on, we will reach the next county town, but we still haven't reached the place Jiang Chen said.
"It's here."
Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.
He looked at the abandoned warehouse in front of him with a smile.
two days ago. When the helicopter sent him here, he randomly found a spacious factory nearby as a storage point for arms. Due to the activities of mutants, there are no survivors in this area at all, so there is no need to worry that the munitions brought in will be stolen by scavengers. Just need to stay as far away from the front lines as possible. Just avoid being hit by stray bullets from the mortar.
After choosing the location, he returned to the present world and waited peacefully until Maozi's ammunition was in place, and then brought the ammunition over on the boat.
A confused Cheng Weiguo followed Jiang Chen and walked into the factory building.
And when he saw the things in the factory building, the confusion on his face turned into shock at a visible speed. The round eyeballs almost protrude from the eye sockets.
"This, this is—"
Seeing Cheng Weiguo's shocked expression, Jiang Chen laughed heartily, then returned to the door, and shouted at the dozen or so riflemen following them.
"Boys. Get ready to get in the car, we're sending mutants to God!"
..
Before the war, because fossil fuels had almost been eliminated, only the rich would keep the two out-of-print fuel locomotives at home as collectibles. Therefore, gasoline-burning locomotives can almost be described as antiques in the last days.
When Jiang Chen greeted the soldiers, they all got into the car. He found out dumbfoundingly that these old drivers had cars but couldn't drive them. In desperation, he had no choice but to go into battle himself and demonstrate to these soldiers how to drive this thing.
Guided by the marshal himself, these soldiers naturally studied very seriously. Fortunately, although the principle of this gasoline-burning car is completely different from that of electric cars that are common in the last days, the operation style is still somewhat similar. After spending more than an hour getting familiar with the use of clutches and other equipment, these soldiers finally learned how to drive.
As for the formula for the distance and angle conversion of the rocket launch, it has already been copied on the paper, and the soldier in charge of the launch only needs to hold a calculator and press it twice to calculate it.
Eight BM-21s drove out of the warehouse one after another. Under Jiang Chen's command, they lined up, and then lowered the brackets on both sides of the truck to fix them, completing the deployment. Nearly a hundred survivors recruited from No. 7 were busy moving the almost full warehouse of ammunition out of the factory building. The two worked together to lift the 67-kilogram, nearly 3-meter-long ammunition and push it into the launch tube.
Before loading the ammunition, Jiang Chen specifically explained to them, loading those white-painted rockets. As for those with red paint on them, they are all solidified guns, which are specially used to deal with zombies and alien species.
The filling was carried out in an orderly manner.
Jiang Chen led Cheng Weiguo to the roof of the building more than 200 meters away.
Raise the binoculars. Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Jiashi, which was 13 kilometers away, and grinned.
"Hurry up and take a second look now, it will change later."
Cheng Weiguo did not pick up the binoculars, but glanced at the row of honeycomb-shaped rockets worriedly, and said with a wry smile.
"Is there really no need to evacuate the soldiers from the city first?"
Regarding the weapons from two centuries ago, he was really worried whether the pile of firecrackers would fall on his own people.
"Relax, leaving a distance of one kilometer is enough."
Although the aim of this old man's weapon is a little bit off, it can't be more than a kilometer away. Jiang Chen couldn't help but give Cheng Weiguo a sideways glance.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the "ancient people".
"Marshal... where did you get these old antiques?" Cheng Weiguo picked up the command tablet and couldn't help asking.
"The launch vehicle comes from a certain military museum, and the ammunition is produced according to the blueprint." Jiang Chen didn't care about his abruptness, and replied casually.
Hearing that Jiang Chen didn't intend to say more, Cheng Weiguo wisely stopped asking. There is no doubt about his loyalty, but everyone has a little bit of curiosity.
The Yunzhi-51 had already reached the sky above Jiashi, barely hovering outside the mutant's air defense range.
Covered by fallout and clouds, it concealed its own existence, providing the two with an aerial view of the battlefield. The wide-area radio life signal detection device was turned on, scanning the positions of the mutants, and marking them as red dots on the tablet in Cheng Weiguo's hand.
Judging from the number of just 10,000 red dots, the mutants must have used a life signal shielding device, but this kind of shielding device has a limited range after all, and can only cover some important targets.
Circled the unmarked target by manual observation, Cheng Weiguo nodded to Jiang Chen, and then handed out the tablet in his hand.
The first shot will be ordered by the Marshal himself!
Looking at the fully loaded launching vehicles on the open space two hundred meters away, Jiang Chen picked up the tablet in Cheng Weiguo's hand.
The distance parameter and strike position are clear at a glance.
"The whole battalion obeys orders! The azimuth angle is 220°, the distance is 14.1 kilometers... Prepare for shelling!"
The honeycomb-shaped rocket launcher was slowly raised and stopped at almost the same angle. When he saw the blue flags that were ready to stand up one by one, he took a deep breath and handed the tablet back to Cheng Weiguo's hand .
Raising his hand and pressing the headset, Jiang Chen looked in Jiashi's direction and shouted sharply.
"Fire!" (To be continued.)
