The 10 soldiers looked on with an expression of shock. They did not expect that this little loli decked in the smallest military attire, with such cute looks, would be capable of such fearsome combat skills. The 4 S2s that they, as grown men, could not handle were disposed off easily by this little loli.
The 10 soldiers came forward to Yue Zhong and the leader kneeled as he begged pitifully: “Commander Yue!! I am the Commanding Officer of Division Commander Shen’s 3rd Battalion 2nd Company, Liu Lijian! Please, I’m begging you to bring your men to save our Commander Shen!! Our brothers from 2 battalions have been surrounded by zombies, if no one goes to save them, they will die soon!!”
The rest of the soldiers who managed to escape death’s door also kneeled and started begging bitterly: “Commander Yue!! Please save our Commander Shen!!”
Although Shen Hongyang was not perfect, he was a commander that valued his soldiers. He could even remember the names of any officer or commander he groomed. Furthermore, regardless of any issues that his subordinates might face, he would be the first to step out and help. It was because of his nature that he was admired and loved by his troops.
Of the 6 armies, Shen Hongyang’s troops were the slowest to evacuate, thus even though he had tanks and assault helicopters, he was bogged down by those S-Types. And it was because Shen Hongyang had attracted the attention of the zombies that the pressure on Yue Zhong’s troops was reduced a lot.
Song Wen quipped in harshly, “Commander Yue!! That bastard Shen Hongyang didn’t give the orders to take down those traitors Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi. There’s no need for us to care about him. Let them feed the zombies! At least they can be useful for slowing the horde down. It’s the best outcome possible!”
Shen Hongyang’s decision to not pursue Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi who had abandoned their posts created a dip in morale and fighting spirit amongst the rest of the army. Based on the situation, if Shen Hongyang had deployed the 7 assault helicopters to give chase, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming did not possess any anti-air defence, and thus would be defeated, slowing their retreat down. The rest of the army could then work together to capture the 2 of them and their troops to act as cannon fodder to slow the zombie horde down. That would have been the best course of action to take.
Yue Zhong glanced at Liu Lijian and said indifferently, “From now on, you’re under me! You are no longer Shen Hongyang’s men. I will bring some people to take a look, if he’s still worth saving, I will lend a hand!”
Any veteran soldier that had gone through the forge of war was a prized treasure. They possessed combat ability as well as a strong fighting will compared to newer soldiers.
This time, the military had underestimated the horde, as they had retained the thinking of the prior battle where they managed to conquer SY County and the 700,000 zombies without counting for the evolved zombies this time round. This was the main reason for their loss, however, they still managed to clear 400,000 of the zombies with Yue Zhong. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were selfish and personal interests, the army might still have lost, but it would not have been this bad.
After speaking, Yue Zhong directly brought his Special Combat Forces and headed towards Shen Hongyang’s direction.
Shen Xue currently felt despair at the situation. Shen Hongyang had given the orders to evacuate too late, and thus a large number of the zombies had already surrounded them, cutting off their retreat. At this time, the First Battalion being led by Shen Xue was engaging in an all-out fight against the zombies together with the armored vehicles and tanks, which formed a defensive post, coupled with the assault helicopters in the air. They had managed to kill off waves after waves of S2s, however, before the total number of S2s had been killed, the S1s had come arrived.
The total number of S1s far outnumbered the S2s, and they were simply endless. Even with the constant heavy fire by Shen Xue and her unit, which resulted in a lot of deaths of the S-types, there were a still few who managed to rush past the defence line, and started killing the soldiers.
Shen Hongyang had sent in his experts to the frontlines at the first moment he could.
A few experts who were extraordinary, their strength only slightly inferior to Yue Zhong’s own Special Combat Force appeared on the battlefield
With their abilities, they managed to lock down those S1s and S2s, killing them all entirely.
