Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 172 Shot down
At 3:32 a.m., the second train arrived at Baifeng Town, only 16 minutes after the previous train.

The second train was not running at full speed, but slowed down in advance. Only the first few carriages derailed, and the remaining carriages all stopped on the tracks.

Then, all the carriages were opened and countless infected people swarmed out.

They ran at full speed like wild dogs on a loose rope, and like a surging tide, they quickly submerged the original third wave.

Ou Yang's eyes widened as he witnessed this scene. Everything that had happened tonight flashed through his mind like a movie. He couldn't help but wonder: Who had planned this attack, and how long had they been preparing for it? Were there more trains coming?
He could already imagine a scene where an organization in the epidemic area mobilized people to stop carriages on the tracks, then used sound to attract all the infected people nearby into the carriages, and finally closed the doors and drove the train to Baifeng Town.

Ou Yang thought he had a fairly good understanding of the situation in the epidemic area, but in his memory, only officials in major cities had such organizational capabilities.

So was this attack an official act of a certain city, or a joint action by several cities?

Is the ultimate goal to break Migong’s blockade of the epidemic area, or is there some other ulterior motive?
Ou Yang couldn't think of the answer, but he felt that there was a huge black hand hiding behind the scenes pushing all this.

The surging tide of zombies was getting closer and closer. The firepower of the garrison suddenly paused for a moment, and then suddenly increased. A dense rain of bullets swept over. The surging group of zombies was like waves hitting the reef, and was shattered into pieces by the oncoming rain of bullets.

Ou Yang also set up a machine gun and joined the ranks of eliminating the infected.

Ever since humans invented the machine gun, human wave tactics have been swept into the dustbin of history, and zombie horde attack is the most standard human wave tactic.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the garrison has enough bullets, the zombie horde will not be able to break through the military blockade.

Not to mention, the garrison has absorbed a large number of immune people, so even if they don’t wear masks, they are not afraid of the spread of spores - there are indeed many infected people who launched the attack, and the spores released are also many, but the concentration has not reached the point where the immune people fall into illusion!

Although the defenders' firepower was strong, the zombies were not afraid of life or death and only focused on rushing forward. The front line continued to advance and was getting closer and closer to the town.

Ou Yang emptied the magazine in one breath, and the barrel of the gun turned red.

Jiang Yuwei searched the entire watchtower but couldn't find the spare barrel.

Ou Yang quickly replaced the magazine with a new one, pulled out the ammunition belt and stuck it on the gun.

Just as the machine gun was set up and about to open fire, the front line of the zombie swarm arrived at another watchtower in the distance. Hundreds of infected people were attracted by the gunfire and gathered under the watchtower.

The American soldiers on the tower fired desperately, and corpses continued to pile up at the bottom of the tower. Subsequent infected people stepped on the corpses, climbing up continuously and falling down continuously.

If this continues, it won't be long before the infected climb up the tower.

Ou Yang turned his gun around and shot at the zombies under the tower, relieving the pressure on his neighbors.

When about half a box of bullets were used up, the vanguard of the zombie horde rushed to the vicinity.

Ou Yang stopped shooting in time, grabbed a few grenades and threw them far away, using the explosion sound to confuse the infected.

Sure enough, the infected people who rushed to the tower ignored the watchtower and continued to rush into the town.

Ou Yang let out a breath. This was all he could do and he didn't plan to continue firing.

He didn't mind helping the defenders, as long as he himself was not in danger.

The horde of zombies rushed into the town after passing the watchtower, but their speed had to slow down due to the obstruction of buildings. Only the infected on the road continued to move at a steady pace.

However, the garrison deployed several machine guns on both sides of the road, and the dense crossfire effectively curbed the charge of the corpses. The piles of corpses formed a small hill outside the town.

Not to mention the infected from other directions, who can only squeeze into the town through the gaps between buildings. Only a small amount of firepower is needed to block the charging infected in the narrow alleys.

The defenders have an absolute advantage, and victory is only a matter of time.

In the face of modern armies, human wave tactics are a joke!
Ou Yang relaxed completely. Now he just had to wait for the defenders to eliminate all the infected people.

But at this moment, the watchtower in the distance suddenly exploded, the tower broke and collapsed, and all the American soldiers on the tower were killed.

Ou Yang's pupils shrank: What happened?
Artillery shells? Missiles? Rockets?
He had always felt that the watchtower was very safe, so he hid there with peace of mind, but now he had the urge to leave the watchtower immediately.

But the area under the tower was full of infected people, and it was too dangerous to leave the watchtower. He could only pray that the enemy didn't pay attention to this direction.

Just a short while later, several explosions occurred on the edge of the town. Some of them blew up the piled up corpses, opening a passage for the charging infected; some destroyed the buildings on the edge of the town, clearing obstacles for the zombies.

Ou Yang could see clearly that it was not any kind of long-range firepower, but some infected people carrying explosive packs!
At the same time as the infected launched a suicide attack, an accident also occurred in the town. A group of immune people who retreated into the town suddenly opened fire on the defenders.

Ou Yang found that many of them were immune people who joined the transport team or the moving team.

Only then did he realize that those people had been planning to attack the thieves sent by that organization from the very beginning!

Although the military immediately launched a counterattack and killed all the enemies who sneaked into the town, a large number of American soldiers were killed or wounded, and several firepower gaps appeared in the originally impenetrable defense line.

A large number of zombies took the opportunity to rush into the town, and the infected people carrying explosives rushed towards the armored vehicles desperately, blowing up the armored vehicles with a loud explosion.

The once solid defense line was shattered.

At the critical moment, the drainage ditch on the edge of the town suddenly caught fire. The rising flames were several meters high, instantly cutting off the charging tide of zombies.

The defenders ignited the gasoline that had been poured into the gutter!

Some zombies rushed into the flames and immediately turned into burning torches.

The horde of zombies that had rushed into the town became like rootless duckweed and were wiped out by the defenders in a short while.

The garrison immediately adjusted its deployment, contracted its defense line, gathered everyone together, and used buildings to block the road.

The watchtower was also within the protection range of the firewall. Ou Yang originally wanted to reunite with the defenders, but the defenders had just been stabbed in the back by a traitor. It would be difficult for the three of them to gain the defenders' trust. If they approached them rashly, being coldly stared and excluded would be a small matter. But what if they were shot by the defenders?
But the watchtower was too dangerous and it was not suitable to continue hiding there. After weighing the pros and cons, Ou Yang finally left the watchtower and rushed into the town, rushing into the church as quickly as possible.

Most of the houses in Lao Mi are wooden buildings, and the church is one of the few reinforced concrete buildings in the entire town.

Ou Yang and others did not stay in the lobby, but climbed up the bell tower in one breath.

This place is high up and is one of the most important commanding heights in the town. You only need to guard the stairs to ensure your safety.

Just as the three of them settled down, a group of old Americans rushed into the church. They quickly blocked the doors and windows, looking like frightened birds.

But based on the previous lessons, Ou Yang was not sure whether these people were innocent immune people or remaining traitors.

A few of the Lao Mis discussed it and two of them headed straight for the bell tower. Seeing they could no longer hide it, Ou Yang immediately appeared and stopped them: "Stop! If you move any further, I'll shoot!" The Lao Mis below the bell tower were stunned: "Are you the defenders?"

"No!" Ou Yang said, "Just like you."

Several old Mi looked at each other, and one of them raised his head and said, "Hey, we are all in the same group, let us go up, okay?"

"No!" Ou Yang refused without hesitation, "I don't know you, and I don't trust you. It's best to keep a safe distance!"

Lao Mi knew that Ou Yang was telling the truth, and he responded helplessly: "Okay, we won't go up, but we need to know the situation outside. If we find anything, please let me know."

"No problem." Ou Yang agreed readily and reached an agreement with the other party.

To be honest, having these Lao Mi blocking below is also a layer of protection for Ou Yang and others.

Ou Yang looked into the distance and found that the flames outside the town were getting smaller and smaller. It would not be long before the zombies would attack again.

At this time, a long whistle sounded again in the distance, and the third train arrived late.

Ou Yang couldn't help but feel a little worried. Can the defenders hold on this time?
It was already a little after four in the morning, and it would be dawn in a little while.

At the same time, in the communications room of the military camp on the west side of the town.

Jedi, covered in dust, shouted over the radio: "Command, Baifeng Town is calling for air support. I repeat, Baifeng Town is calling for air support!"

He arrived here shortly after the battle started.

Although the arsenal was lost and there were considerable casualties, the overall situation was under control. Jedi did not seek support, but prepared to resolve the battle on his own.

Unexpectedly, the enemy used many tricks and the defenders generally underestimated the zombies, so they turned a good favorable battle into this situation, and the defense line was even at risk of collapse.

Only then did Jedi want to call for support, hoping that it was still not too late.

It really doesn't work...

His eyes fell on the railroad tracks outside the military camp, where a freight train carrying supplies was parked. If the situation changed, he would immediately board the train and stay away from this place of trouble!

Just as he was thinking about how to leave, he received a response from the radio: "Baifeng Town, air support has been dispatched, please indicate the target for the fighter planes!"

"Baifeng Town received!" Jedi responded immediately, hanging up the receiver and shouting, "Did you hear that? Get ready now!"

Just as he finished speaking, a call came from the radio: "Baifeng Town, this is Flamingo, please indicate the target immediately. Repeat, please indicate the target immediately!"

"Baifeng Town received. Flamingo, prioritize destroying the train heading east of the town!"

"Flamingo received!"

Jedi strode out of the communications room, looked up and scanned the night sky, searching for any trace of fighter planes.

Just a few seconds later, the roar of a helicopter was heard from the southeast.

Jedi was a little confused. Why was it a helicopter?

But he didn't think too much about it and immediately sent the target's detailed location to the reinforcements through the data link.

The helicopter flew closer and closer, but did not attack the train. Instead, it circled over the town.

The flames outside the town finally went out, and the zombies launched another charge. The defenders immediately opened fire. Wherever the rain of bullets reached, the charging infected were broken in unison like wheat stalks under a sickle.

Jedi showed a confident smile on his face. As long as the fighter planes destroyed the train, the remaining infected people would be powerless. It would only take a little time to completely eliminate them!

But at this moment, a helicopter suddenly launched a missile at the ground, but the target was not the zombies, but the building where the defenders were entrenched!
The missile hit the target accurately, the building was reduced to ashes in the violent explosion, and the fierce gunfire stopped abruptly.

The helicopter then opened fire again, destroying another building where the defenders were hiding.

Jedi nearly went crazy on the spot, grabbing the microphone and screaming wildly: "Flamingo, you're wrong, that's not the target, not the target!"

A surprised voice came from the radio: "What did you say? We haven't arrived yet!"

Jedi's expression froze.
The flamingos didn't reach the ground, so what was going on with the helicopter in the sky?

Just as he was about to ask again, another helicopter had already flown near the military camp, lowered its nose and launched missiles, followed by a merciless strafing of machine guns.

The trains parked on the railway, the vehicles in the camp, and the barracks were hit by missiles one after another, and the camp instantly turned into a sea of fire.

What followed was repeated machine gun fire. The American soldiers who remained in the camp fled in panic. If they were even slightly hit by a shell, their limbs would at least be torn apart. If they were hit in the torso, they would be turned into a rain of blood in an instant.

Jedi almost went crazy: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, that's an enemy helicopter, shoot it down for me——"

However, the defenders were caught off guard and never expected that the enemy had a helicopter!
There was no air defense preparation and the military camp was caught off guard by the helicopter, so it was in chaos.

Jedi was furious and picked up his rifle and opened fire at the helicopter in the air.

The large-caliber machine gun on the plane immediately swept over, and the bullets left a series of continuous bullet holes on the ground.

Just as the bullet was about to hit Jedi, gunshots rang out from the bell tower more than a hundred meters away. A series of bullets accurately hit the helicopter, leaving an irregular area of bullet holes on one side of the fuselage.

These two are not armored attack helicopters, but modified versions of civilian helicopters. Otherwise, it would be impossible to penetrate the cabin with just a small-caliber machine gun.

There were two pilots on board. One was shot dead on the spot, and the other pulled the joystick hard, causing the helicopter to rise suddenly. The shell that was supposed to hit Jedi passed over his head and cut an American soldier behind Jedi in half.

Turning around and looking at the teaching, I saw a rain of bullets from the clock tower chasing the helicopter. The bullets hit the fuselage continuously. I didn't know which bullet hit the vital point. Suddenly, a large amount of black smoke came out of the engine, and then the fuselage shook violently and fell to the ground in a spin.

As the fuselage fell to the ground, the spinning propellers swept across the nearby wooden buildings, and the blades swept the walls into flying wood chips.

Another helicopter immediately opened fire on the bell tower, and bullets blasted a patchwork of bullet holes on the wall.

Ou Yang quickly retreated behind the wall. Bullets hit the bell tower continuously, causing stone chips to fly everywhere and the heavy bell to ring loudly due to the bullets.

Ou Yang decisively gave up the M249, rushed down the stairs with his head in his hands, picked up the 191, aimed at the plane and fired continuously. The bullets hit the plane accurately and killed the pilot again.
