Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 683 Trenches
Modern warfare is not ancient warfare. It requires dense formations to ensure the offensive, so the demand for space is very high. The complex terrain of the island country undoubtedly greatly limits the number of troops that can be deployed at one time.

This is also related to the location of this military base. War issues were taken into consideration when it was first built, so being easy to defend and difficult to attack was one of the necessary conditions. There was no problem with Lieutenant General Puri's response, except that he did not mobilize the navy, air force and missile forces.

And there is a reason for this. It is very wise not to use these precious and expensive military equipment without figuring out how the other side shot down dozens of fighter planes in one go. After all, the cost of one fighter plane is enough to pay for the army's pensions, not to mention that the island nation's Self-Defense Forces do not have to be paid by the masters of the beacon country.

Therefore, no one can find fault with Lieutenant General Rip's orders and commands, otherwise no one would really think that the Pentagon is so easy to fool.

After nearly 20,000 people arrived near the base, they learned from the first lesson and expanded the reconnaissance and alert circle. They also buried a large number of mines and other monitoring methods, and deployed positions according to the map to prepare for a protracted war.

A few thousand zombie lords are nothing to the modern army, even if they have some weird means. The problem is their abnormal growth rate.

All the surveillance and personal experience of the Yoshikawa Society fell into the hands of the Fungus and the Island Country, so they knew very well that only thirteen zombie Taijun appeared at the beginning, and they were dealt with by a group of Yakuza.

But when the special assault force arrived, the number of Zombie Taijuns began to increase dramatically, and in the last breath an entire regiment appeared.

After occupying the base, there were an additional tank regiment and heavy artillery regiment.

The island nation’s tanks and heavy artillery during World War II were a joke. The question is who dares to say that this was the upper limit.

I have also considered the same issues that the island nation has considered. If millions of World War II devils really emerge, I will be trembling with fear. It can be said that I will not be able to protect any of the more than 100 military bases.

Because this is no longer the era when the Lighthouse Country can grow mushrooms whenever it wants, especially since the island country is so close to that country. The other party will never allow bombers carrying mushrooms to approach. Once the fungi dare to try to do so, it may be another Cuban crisis. And this time, who can guarantee that they can get through it smoothly?

It is with these considerations that Lieutenant General Rip was able to activate the war authority, because if he is not careful, World War III might start prematurely.

Therefore, the Pentagon also supports his preparation for a protracted war. First, the consumed weapons and ammunition can promote domestic production, and they can make a lot of money when purchasing. Second, the place is too sensitive, and they must be adequately prepared to guard against interference from the other side of the sea.

However, digging trenches is simple and settling people is easy, all you need is a piece of land.

But finding space to accommodate dozens of tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles is a huge headache, because they are followed by logistical support troops to provide ammunition, fuel and battlefield repairs, not to mention dozens of heavy artillery.

In this broken island country, there are not many places where dozens of heavy artillery can be deployed at once. After all, in addition to artillery positions, there are also ammunition depots, reserve positions, evacuation spaces, etc. All of these must be taken into consideration. It is not enough to just find an open space to deploy them.

Lieutenant General Puri's solution was simple and brutal: drive directly into the town.

Whether it is a parking lot, an open space, or a park, they are all better places than soft farmland.

As for the inconvenience and losses caused, as well as the act of involving civilians in the war, it is none of their business, that is a problem that the island nation needs to consider. It has to be said that this is very bad. No matter how much the island nation protests, Lieutenant General Puri and his soldiers still do their own thing, forcing the island nation to organize a retreat, because they also know the style of their predecessors in World War II. Forget it if you expect them to show mercy. It is good enough that no one is given a gun to force them to charge forward.

Although the military base was shrouded in fog, Mold still obtained a lot of important information through various means, including the strange bone gate and the zombie Taijun that had increased to a division.

Upon learning this information, Lieutenant General Rip took a puff of his cigar. He originally wanted to give in, but now it seems that he should give up, as he might end up getting himself implicated.

So he immediately called the Pentagon and strongly demanded that the island nation cooperate and began to form the second and third coalition forces.

To put it bluntly, the Self-Defense Forces are used as cannon fodder, and it is also to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from turning against us.

If the enemy really cooperates with the enemy from the inside and outside, the island-based bacteria may not be able to withstand it, because the aircraft carrier, as a powerful weapon, is simply a burden when the enemy shoots down fighter planes on a large scale, and the naval guns.
Now Lieutenant General Rip was really having a headache and began to question his previous decision.

Unfortunately, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't get away. He could only bite the bullet and request more reinforcements to fight a land war with an incredible enemy.

Both sides were building trenches, one relying on the tireless bodies of zombies and the other relying on mechanical equipment, and their efficiency was surprisingly comparable.

As the trenches of both sides got closer, a cold gunfire broke out, and the heavy artillery of each side also emitted a deafening roar.

The large-caliber grenades whizzing through the sky were able to create a hole the size of a swimming pool with each one, filling up a large section of the trench and burying the soldiers of both sides under loose soil, making it seem as if this place had returned to World War II.

However, although both sides used heavy artillery with a range of more than 100 mm, the coalition forces undoubtedly had an advantage in range, power and quantity. If it were not for the interference of the fog, Taijun's heavy artillery regiment would have been destroyed long ago.

However, the gap between the soldiers of both sides was as big as the gap between their heavy artillery. Even though they were bombed equally, the Zombie Lords were unmoved. They were not afraid of being injured or buried. Whether it was shrapnel, vibration, or suffocation, they were all eaten alive by the zombie bodies, and then they continued to repair the damage under the influence of Yin Qi. As long as they were not blown to pieces, even if they were torn into pieces, recovery would only be a matter of time after simple patchwork and stitching.

But the coalition forces had never seen such a scene before. The fungus could still resist for a while, but the Self-Defense Forces were a little overwhelmed.

After knowing that the opponents were the Japanese invaders from World War II, they had no will to fight. After being bombarded by heavy artillery and shot by cold guns, their morale dropped to freezing point. If it weren't for the existence of the Fungal Supervision Team, they would have retreated long ago.

But collapse was still only a matter of time, and Lieutenant General Rip knew it well.

To this end, he had to send out an armored force consisting of tanks and armored vehicles in advance, and at the same time force the coalition forces to use infantry-tank coordination tactics, because he knew very well how the three thousand molds disappeared before.

He also didn't expect that the barbed mines used by the Japanese as a joke during World War II would show their power and cause him great headaches nearly a hundred years later.
