Chapter 122: Large-Scale Defense
"Zz… Let the machine guns take care of eliminating the walkers that are passing through the rain of bombers; snipers stay alert; eliminate any walker that gets close."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The massive explosions ignited all the walkers that were practically running. For being extremely fast, they were eliminated in the same way, at the speed and time they came.
Dominic stopped being at the back and climbed onto the head of a tank that was moving towards the bombing zone, leaving the base this way.
The rain of bullets from the automatic machine gun that had detected the walkers began to fire. Thousands of bullets per second were released, splitting the walkers in two.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
Support Base in Detroit
At that moment, dozens of soldiers were boarding combat helicopters and preparing to assist in the fight taking place at the rear of their base, which served merely as a locator. At least they could help from the sky and improve the situation.
They couldn't risk the defensive base defending itself alone, so thirty helicopters equipped with Mag-58 and M-240 machine guns were sent, ready to support the situation on the ground from the sky.
Meanwhile, at the central base, the gunfire was numerous and continuous, with people running with ammunition boxes and others filling magazines with bullets one after another.
At this moment, it could be said that the group of walkers had just emerged, and it was unknown how many more were behind the forest, advancing.
A few minutes after the shooting at the city's wall, Stuart suddenly ran towards Dominic, bent down, and shouted loudly, "Commander! The horde of walkers is getting larger at the edges where the mortars are not impacting. If this continues, it won't be long before they exceed the width of the walls, and we need to deploy more forces on those sides."
Dominic also discovered this problem, but he wasn't worried because the gunfire concentrated the walkers, and the figures would be attracted by the sound of the shots.
But what Stuart said couldn't be ignored, even knowing that. After all, the shots would not only bring walkers from the front, but the barricades on the sides would also become saturated.
On the sides, there was still barbed wire, and some areas had been sealed, so it could serve as a last barrier if the front team retreated. However, the crops in front of the prison also had to be considered.
Dominic turned his head to look at Glenn, leaned close to his ear, and shouted loudly, "Call Sergeant Castro to watch in other directions. As soon as they get saturated, they must report it!"
Glenn extended his hand, gesturing that he understood, and ran directly to the foot of the city's wall.
Months of training and preparation had produced exceptional results in this battle, so many soldiers who had been in a similar situation knew the importance of speed.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of undead were eliminated in front of the main gate, and a large layer of corpse pieces spread out in an open space. At first glance, everything was densely filled with blood. This scene had never been seen before; the shooting continued, and the walkers began to fall faster and faster.
Indeed, as Stuart had thought, the group of walkers emerging from the forest became wider and wider and gradually began to walk towards the edges of the wall.
"Change the mortar loads; we need more power!" Negan said while looking at everything happening inside a tank.
Dominic stepped back, received more magazines, and continued fighting. Following Dominic's signal, the fortresses on both sides of the city's wall began to roar with fierce attacks!
The unique sound of heavy machine guns pierced the network of countless walkers with shots and resonated in people's ears!
The sound for the soldiers was like magic, providing them with a sense of stability and security. In the towers on both sides, there were several M2 heavy machine guns and M249 light machine guns sweeping the crowd of walkers.
The large caliber of the bullets tore apart the bodies of countless walkers with terrifying energy and consistency. It wasn't necessary to shoot them in the head; anything alive without exception that was touched by a bullet spat out by the machine guns was torn apart.
The great horde of walkers left countless corpses on the ground, which grew larger and larger. The people on the walls could
no longer tell if what was ahead were walkers or just corpses. Dominic and the other captains noticed this, so he finally reported what needed to be done.
In no time, the first formation of a hundred tanks started their engines and began to drive slowly to the sides. Seeing this, the shots became much more careful to avoid friendly fire.
After charging, the tanks broke through the barricade set up by the armored vehicles and then dispersed. This was the first time a tank fired in front of everyone, and in just one round of shots, it blew everything around it to pieces.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a round of bursts, everyone on the walls and watchtowers could see how the accumulated corpses not far away exploded violently, with the blood mist splattering around, intensifying the excitement in the soldiers' eyes.
After that, under the attack of the machine guns in the tanks and the mortars in the distance, the walkers were torn apart before anyone could even process what they were seeing.
Five tanks entered the battlefield from one side and lined up, moving to the sides.
The weight of more than 70 tons acted as super rollers, and the walkers in front of the tanks, whether they were still moving or not, were crushed.
After the tanks went back and forth, the open space originally filled with walking corpses became flat and red.
As for why they didn't use the tanks to crush them from the start, the main reason was that the walkers weren't gathered, and they couldn't be eliminated precisely. Also, this would interfere with the people shooting, so initially, the tanks were used to give the shooters a breather.
However, the tanks had now done their part and then retreated again, awaiting their next attack.
The shots and the tanks' prowess surprised everyone on the walls. If they hadn't fired now, many would have believed that these tanks were just for show at the base.
"Sir, three eagles are moving to the front!"
Dominic had put down his weapons because at that moment, walkers, two to three, were approaching the tanks, and he shouted, "Make sure not to get bitten; agents switch to melee combat and cover the machine gunners."
"Understood."
