Chapter 165 The Great Confrontation (1)
After his thoughts came to light, Zhang Qiang did not rush to go to Line 2 with Rick and others to fight. Instead, he asked the commander of the Patton tank about the types of ammunition stored inside the tank.
The Patton series tanks were once the main battle tanks of the U.S. Army. Although they lag behind the latest M1 series tanks in terms of power system, armor thickness, and main gun caliber, its 105mm main gun still has excellent armor-piercing capabilities.
That’s right, the tank commander told Zhang Qiang that his tank had two depleted uranium bombs, as well as cannon-fired shotgun shells and armor-piercing shells.
There were four people sitting in the small-looking medium tank: the commander, gunner, loader and driver.
Zhang Qiang glanced at Rick. Including Rick, there were five people in total. Rick was obviously just a bystander and might just be the tank's front-line pass.
"Wait a minute, I'll go find Kate."
After Zhang Qiang obtained the conductor's radio communication frequency band, he asked Rick and others to wait on the street while he went to communicate with Kate.
On the clock tower, Kate, holding a telescope, met Zhang Qiang again. Zhang Qiang didn't waste time and said directly:
"Give me the strategic command. Contact 141. I need them to carry out a mission."
Kate was angry, but she believed that Zhang Qiang did not lose trust in her, so she decisively handed over the command to Zhang Qiang.
"Commander, what do you need from me?"
"Contact Green Hornet and Wasp, and take 141 to Atlanta. The city must be empty, the drug dealers and the sea of corpses are gone, we need..."
After the mysterious mission was issued, Kate ran down the bell tower. Zhang Qiang used a telescope to observe the sea of corpses and saw a giant blue-armored corpse running wildly.
The blue-armored giant corpse's violent body crushed the corpses in the sea of corpses. A large number of humanoid corpses around it were swung away by it, and countless corpses were crushed under its feet, plowing a bloody flesh channel. It can be seen that it is very manic and rushed straight to the No. 2 defense line.
Zhang Qiang immediately notified all the teams on the defense line: "I am Zhang Qiang, and I am giving the order now. All teams must evacuate position 2 immediately and go to position 3 to prepare!!"
At position No. 2, all the soldiers were concentrating on operating their weapons to fight against the sea of corpses hundreds of meters away. Suddenly, Zhang Qiang's voice rang out from everyone's walkie-talkie.
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately executed it, carrying their weapons and decisively running towards the vehicles parked behind them, abandoning Position No. 2 which they could have held for a while.
Daryl, who was fighting with the soldiers, naturally heard Zhang Qiang's voice, and a puzzled smile appeared on his face.
Daryl evacuated with the soldiers. The trust he had built up with Zhang Qiang over a long period of time told him that Zhang Qiang must have a new idea.
Daryl switched the intercom to the independent communication section while running. He asked Zhang Qiang: "What are you going to do?"
"I don't have time to go into detail right now. Where are you? Are you also in No. 2?"
Hearing that it was Daryl, Zhang Qiang smiled. Who doesn't like a confidant who leads by example? Daryl deserves higher-level training.
"Just in time to help. Do you need me to do anything? I promise, I can help you kill the assassin zombies. I know the movements of that group of bastards very well."
Daryl said.
"Then come find me at the bell tower and follow me. Position No. 3 doesn't need you."
Zhang Qiang naturally believed in Daryl. This guy never boasted and only did things that were sure to happen.
The soldiers collectively evacuated Position No. 2, and vehicles were driving through the town. Daryl also found Zhang Qiang on the bell tower.
Seeing Zhang Qiang in a new type of armor, Daryl swallowed his saliva. He could feel the difference between the Dreadnought Armor and the ordinary full body heavy armor. The Dreadnought Armor looked more powerful, and there must be some black technology inside!
"Planet 2, don't evacuate yet. Prepare to support our tanks in the air."
"Rick, inform the brothers in Barton to get ready to work."
Zhang Qiang used the walkie-talkie to notify each unit that needed to fight.
In the sky, the No. 2 armed helicopter increased its altitude and circled in the air. After receiving Zhang Qiang's order, it immediately flew to the sky above the defense line and hovered, waiting for the next instruction.
Rick looked at the retreating Destiny Army with some confusion, but he was definitely not there to just be a bystander.
Rick climbed onto the tank, opened the cover and stood inside. While grabbing the M2 heavy machine gun, he notified the crew to prepare to move forward.
"A giant blue-armored corpse, huh? Even the Hellfire can't kill you, right? Today I have to see if I can beat you with pure kinetic energy bullets!!"
Zhang Qiang looked at the giant blue-armored corpse that had rushed to the defense line of the town entrance. This guy had even left the sea of corpses behind by more than a hundred meters. His reckless look was really similar to his former self.
"Roar----!!!"
A deafening roar was heard, and the explosion-proof walls of the No. 2 defense line were smashed into pieces like tofu by the blue-armored giant corpse. A large amount of sand and gravel exploded directly in front of the blue-armored giant corpse. Zhang Qiang could even feel the ground shaking when the blue-armored giant corpse ran while he was on the bell tower.
Boom! !
The roar of the steel behemoths was heard in the town. The Patton tank drove straight towards the blue-armored giant corpse. The two behemoths were more than 100 meters apart. The empty streets served as a battlefield where the two met. A violent clash of metal and flesh was about to take place.
"Sir! Should we open fire?"
When the driver learned that Zhang Qiang was the supreme commander of the Tianming Army, he naturally put on the role. He contacted Zhang Qiang through the radio and asked whether he should launch an attack.
"No rush! Keep your distance from the target! Wait for the helicopter to launch the Hellfire!!"
Through the intelligence sent back by the front-line soldiers, Zhang Qiang had long known about the defense of the blue-armored giant zombie, but he still wanted to give it a try to see if he could penetrate the defense of the blue-armored giant zombie by using the high-temperature armor-piercing power of Hellfire and then firing pure kinetic energy armor-piercing shells with the tank's main gun.
Chi! !
Boom! ! !
A beam of fire shot out from the sky above Woodbury Town. The Hellfire missile locked onto the position of the blue-armored giant corpse and hit the target directly in less than a second. A fireball exploded from the blue-armored giant corpse, and high-temperature metal flows and gravel on the street flew everywhere, and a cloud of dust rose.
In the Patton tank, the commander had asked the gunner to get ready after receiving Zhang Qiang's order. The Patton tank stopped its heavy body, turned the turret, and aimed at the huge figure of the blue-armored giant corpse in the dust.
"Now!! Steel core bullets loaded!! Fire!!"
boom! ! ! !
The main gun made a loud noise, and the turret of the Patton tank was visibly shaken by the recoil of the main gun.
A flash of fire spurted out fiercely from the muzzle, and the shell containing the slender steel core armor-piercing needle flew out at high speed. The shell was quickly peeled off after the shell flew out of the muzzle, and the pure kinetic energy steel needle shot towards the blue-armored giant corpse in the dust! !
The dust covering the blue-armored giant corpse was blown away by the flying steel needle. The gunner looked through the observation mirror and saw that the dust had not changed much. He immediately cursed in regret: "Fuck! I wiped it!!!"
After all, the blue-armored giant corpse is in human form, and its target of combat is very different from that of tanks. Especially after the Hellfire missile was launched, the position of the blue-armored giant corpse was covered by dust and smoke, so the gunner's first shot resulted in a mistake.
"Don't be nervous! Retreat immediately! The target is charging at you! This is not a modern tank war! You have many opportunities to adjust!!"
Zhang Qiang heard the commander's radio voice on his intercom, and the gunner's regret was also heard by him. Zhang Qiang calmly comforted the gunner and reassured the crew.
This is not a tank battle in modern warfare, and the blue-armored giant zombie is not able to fire artillery shells to destroy Patton!
As long as you keep your distance, the Patton tank can completely kite the blue armored giant zombie without any damage! Although the tank is heavy, it can run at a speed of 60 miles per hour without any problem.
However, although a tank weighing dozens of tons is definitely heavier than a blue-armored giant corpse, Zhang Qiang suspects that a highly mutated blue-armored giant corpse has the ability to damage the tank after approaching it. The crew must keep a distance from it to establish a range advantage!
"Yes, sir!"
The conductor's radio responded again.
"Buck! Load the depleted uranium bullet!! The steel core will be treated as a test fire!!"
Inside the crew, the loader with thick arms was busy again, carrying the thick shells and stuffing them into the gun barrel.
"Roar------!!!"
At this moment, the giant blue-armored corpse that was surrounded and beaten by two war machines in the sky and on the ground roared, and the rolling sound waves shook the dust cloud, revealing an extremely domineering figure.
It ran madly towards the Patton tank. Although its nearly four-meter-tall body did not run frequently, its strides were extremely fast and its speed exceeded that of an Olympic sprinter. Every time its heavy body touched the road, the ground would crack.
It takes eight or nine seconds for a blue-armored giant zombie to cover a distance of one hundred meters, and the gunner and filler of a Patton tank work together to reload and change guns, which takes at least nearly ten seconds at the fastest!
Faced with the ferocious rush of the blue-armored giant zombie, the Patton tank rumbled backwards, but only retreated a distance of dozens of meters before stopping again and turning the turret.
Zhang Qiang frowned as he stood on the bell tower.
boom! ! !
The two behemoths were only tens of meters apart. Depleted uranium armor-piercing shells shot out from the muzzle with fire. After leaving the barrel, the shells shed their outer shells, revealing the depleted uranium alloy steel needles contained therein.
Boom boom! ! ! ! !
A brilliant flame burst out directly from the blue-armored giant corpse. The moment the depleted uranium steel needle touched the diamond-shaped armor plate, the high temperature generated by the high speed quickly evaporated the slippery liquid on the blue armor, and the pointed tip smashed the armor on the chest of the blue-armored giant corpse into pieces.
But in just a moment, after the depleted uranium steel needle pierced through the armor and pierced into the giant's body, the entire needle suddenly turned into red fragments, and flew around with a large amount of broken blue scales.
"Roar!!!!!!"
The huge pure kinetic energy impact caused the blue-armored giant corpse to retreat several steps back. Its body swayed and was about to fall to the ground. Its violent howls resounded throughout the world of Woodbury.
boom! ! !
The ground shook as the blue-armored giant corpse was defeated! The invincible blue-armored giant corpse fell for the first time!
Zhang Qiang, who was on the bell tower, was holding a telescope. He keenly discovered that there was a huge bloody wound on the chest of the blue-armored giant corpse, and a strange brown-yellow color appeared in the center of the wound.
The brownish-yellow area is quite large, and seems to be the skeleton of a blue-armored giant corpse. However, this is different from a normal human thoracic spine, and is completely a barrel-shaped sternum!!
"Successful hit! We succeeded!!"
When the crew members saw the giant blue-armored corpse lying on the ground, they immediately celebrated and cheered on the radio.
"No!! Retreat quickly!!! It's not that easy!!"
When Zhang Qiang heard that the newbies who were dealing with the mutated zombies started celebrating early, he immediately reminded them.
"Roar!!!!!!!"
Sure enough! The nearly four-meter-tall corpse suddenly stood up flexibly, raised its arms high and rushed towards the nearby Patton tank.
BANG!!!!!!!
A huge sonic sound spread around, and a shock wave exploded on the Patton tank.
Rick, half of his body exposed, was bleeding from his mouth and nose and suddenly passed out. The tank was hit hard by the blue-armored giant corpse and its rear end was temporarily lifted up. Two large fist marks appeared on the front armor of the tank.
"Evacuate!! Evacuate!! The operation has failed!! Retreat to defense line No. 3 immediately!!"
Zhang Qiang on the bell tower noticed that Rick on the tank had lost consciousness and immediately notified the crew to leave the town.
"Fuck! Fuck! The captain and the driver both fainted!"
The gunner's panicked voice came from the commander's radio. The blue-armored giant corpse's attack directly stunned the people in the tank.
"Kick them away and drive! Don't stay here and wait to die!!"
Zhang Qiang cursed angrily while holding the walkie-talkie.
BANG!!!!!!!
A huge noise was heard again. The giant blue-armored corpse raised its arms high and punched the gun barrel of the Patton tank with all its strength again!
Endless strange power surged towards the Patton tank. This time, the rear of the tank was lifted high, and the gun barrel was bent 40 degrees in the middle. Rick, who was half exposed on the turret, was almost thrown out! !
Zhang Qiang looked at the battlefield with disappointment. He wondered if anyone in the Patton tank was still awake. If the giant blue-armored zombie continued to hammer it mindlessly, the tank would surely turn into a deformed lump of steel, and the people inside would be dead.
Just when Zhang Qiang was about to abandon the crew and call for the No. 2 armed helicopter to take advantage of the injury of the blue-armored giant corpse to launch another Hellfire attack, the Patton tank roared again and drove backwards at high speed away from the blue-armored giant corpse.
"Rick he..."
Daryl was very distressed watching from the side.
"Fuck! If they're not one of our own, they won't work!"
Zhang Qiang cursed the crew driver in his heart for not strictly following his orders.
"It's not that easy to die. He is Rick." Zhang Qiang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
If the crew had not strictly followed the order to stay away from the blue-armored giant zombie, the current situation would never have been like this.
Perhaps if the 105mm main gun fires another depleted uranium armor-piercing shell, the blue-armored giant corpse's bones will be pierced, damaging its internal organs and spine.
At that time, the sea of corpses without a leader can be completely divided and cleaned up, and the scales of victory will tilt towards the destiny position.
"Stop it from pursuing the tanks."
Seeing the Patton tanks retreating at high speed and the blue-armored giant zombies running in the town trying to continue chasing them, Zhang Qiang immediately ordered the No. 2 attacker to fire machine guns to block them.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!!!
A lot of sparks came out of the blue armored corpse. The copper 30mm bullet rubbed against the scales fiercely. Although it could not effectively break its defense, the powerful kinetic impact made the blue armored corpse lose its running rhythm. It could no longer catch up with the tank.
The plan failed. Zhang Qiang no longer wasted time putting himself in danger. The sea of corpses had already poured into the sea of corpses following the blue-armored giant corpse. It was time to evacuate.
Zhang Qiang and Daryl ran downstairs, bypassed the main road in the town, and retreated to the south of the town from behind the clock tower.
This attempt was not in vain. At least Zhang Qiang discovered the weakness of the blue-armored giant zombie. Compared with the armor-piercing Hellfire, the pure kinetic energy armor-piercing projectiles of the tank main gun can more effectively damage the blue-armored giant zombie.
