Chapter 479 "The Immortal Army" (Updated 14/81)

After Wang Zhong was sure that all three assault targets had been achieved, he ordered Pavlov: "Although the city gates are open, the heavy breakthrough artillery regiment will continue to bombard the city walls as usual after daybreak. The more breakthrough points, the better."

Pavlov: "I knew you would give this order. You just want to knock something down with your 203mm cannon!"

Wang Zhong laughed.

Barras, the Royal Palace.

Tutka, the king of Baras, was pacing back and forth in the audience hall.

Finally, Schmidt, the Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Plossen, entered the hall with a small group of soldiers in Plossen uniforms.

Tutka immediately rushed forward and shouted at Schmidt: "The enemy is attacking the city! Attacking the city! You haven't done anything you promised!"

Schmidt smiled. "It's not our fault that the Ants arrived here so quickly. It's because your troops didn't put up any resistance. You've been tolerating the traitors of the Free Officers Corps for so many years. Are you getting your comeuppance now?"

Tutka shouted, "I indulge the Free Officers Corps because I want to use them to counterbalance the influence of the United Kingdom that is infiltrating from the direction of Bahara! Moreover, these members of the Free Officers Corps are of high quality among my officers. The troops they lead do not eat moon candy and have a firm will to fight!

"That's why I placed these troops in the north to resist the invasion of Ant, because I know that the United Kingdom's army can't move so quickly! Without the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, the United Kingdom's combat effectiveness will be sharply reduced. This is not the time when the red lobster soldiers were rampant!"

Tutka paused and added, "Besides, we defeated the lobster soldiers before!"

Schmidt shook his head. "You defeated a small number of lobster soldiers and a large number of Bahara troops. If they were all lobster soldiers, you would have been incorporated into the Bahara of the United Kingdom long ago."

"Don't say these useless things!" Tutka waved his hands vigorously, "Can you help me get out of this predicament? I helped you cut off Ante's supply line. Your rapid progress in South Ante is at least half due to my efforts!"

Schmidt frowned and said, “I cannot agree with this statement. I think our generals and the experts around your majesty will not agree with it either.

"Once you are eliminated by the United Kingdom and Ant, and the supply line is restored, you will find that our army is still making rapid progress. Soon our army will be able to cut off the supply line extending from Baharayang. We will occupy Abawahan!"

Tutka's mouth trembled, and he held it in for a long time before shouting: "I can't run away when the city is broken. Do you think you can run away? The Ante people hate you Prosen people so much that you will die a miserable death!"

Schmidt smiled and took off his coat, revealing the military uniform underneath. "Do you know why I and the airborne hunters behind me all changed into Proshen uniforms? Because according to international law, we are considered prisoners of war.

"As far as we know, the Ants treat prisoners of war well. They even use some crude means to 'influence' the prisoners of war and then send them to factories to produce weapons for them.

“So many of our captured officers managed to escape and went south into neutral countries.”

Tutka cursed, "Despicable!"

"Don't be so quick to scold me." Schmidt smiled, "I have a plan for you to escape. Escape to the mountains in the east through the secret passage of the palace, and then wait for the special plane sent by Lufthansa. This special plane will fly to the neutral country of Anatolia, and then fly back to Plossen after refueling. You can set up a government in exile in Plossen and refuse to recognize the new emperor supported by the enemy. Just like Melania and other countries did."

"Government in exile?" Tutka narrowed his eyes, as if he heard the word for the first time.

Schmidt: "If you don't like this title, you can also be called Free Barras, just like General Dagaud's Free Carolingian. The name is not important, what matters is that your conquest actually exists!
"Once we have conquered Abavahan and forced Ante to surrender, we will head south to resolve the Baras issue. Our army is heading straight for Bahara. After the United Kingdom lost Bahara, its strength was greatly reduced! They will also surrender soon.

"Just think about it, you will be the king of the entire subcontinent by then!"

Tutka seemed fascinated by the bright prospects that Schmidt had painted.

But he immediately thought of a question: "Secret passage? What secret passage? How come I don't know about it?"

Schmidt laughed: "Of course you don't know that when your royal city was built, your ancestors did not trust the United Kingdom, so they hired the designer Prossen.

"Your ancestor asked the designer to design a secret passage that could hide from all the spies of the United Kingdom in Barras at that time. The designer did it with the rigorous spirit of the Plossans!"

After saying that, Schmidt snapped his fingers, and a design drawing was brought up and unfolded in front of Tutka.

Tutka smiled and said, "Okay, let's run!"

"Wait a minute, you should order all the Baras troops in this city to eat moon candy before running away."

Tutka's expression was grim: "You are right, we can't let these invaders live so comfortably!"

When the Vortex of the 225th Division's Annihilation Battalion entered the city of Baras, a large number of Baras soldiers suddenly emerged in front of them.

These soldiers had haggard faces and looked like a pile of skin and bones in the sunlight.

They shouted and rushed towards the leading 22501 Vortex. The rooftop machine gun of the Vortex immediately opened fire.
However, the Vortex is a tank destroyer after all, and it is a vehicle specially designed for the task of tank destroying. The only firepower used to suppress infantry is a machine gun on the roof.

In comparison, the ordinary T34 has two machine guns, while the T34W has three: a coaxial machine gun on the hull and turret and an anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof.

22501 The machine gun of one vehicle is simply not enough to organize the black "skull" wave.

The tank destroyer fired a shot, and the 100mm high-explosive shell exploded in the crowd, knocking down a large number of enemies at once. But more enemies rushed towards the vortex as if they knew no fear or pain.

The gunner of the Vortex even saw a Barras soldier whose right hand holding the gun was broken and the weapon fell completely to the ground. He bent down to pick up his arm, held it high with his left hand, and continued to charge.

The gunner exclaimed: "Is this really a living person? Could this be the legendary Undead Army?"

The commander cursed, "Asshole! Didn't you see these people bleeding? They are just humans on drugs. Humans will die if they are killed! Even if we take a step back and say they are monsters, monsters will die if they are killed! Fire!"

At the same time as the commander shouted to fire, the loader finished loading the high-explosive shells and shouted, "Good!"

The gunner opened fire again.

In the gun scope, shells exploded in the dense crowd of people, blasting many unfortunate people with missing limbs into the sky.

Body fragments and blood rained down, but the Baras people still charged forward fearlessly, like an undead army.

Gunner: "Our firepower can't stop these people! How about we retreat!"

At this time, Vortex No. 22502 drove to the side of car No. 1 and fired a high-explosive bomb at the oncoming "tide of corpses".

The whole street was once again covered in blood and flesh.

At this time, the enemy had rushed to a distance of one hundred meters, and they actually raised their weapons and fired at the vortex.

It's a pity that the accuracy is not good enough.

Someone even threw a grenade at the vortex from a distance of 100 meters, but the grenade landed dozens of meters in front of the vortex, creating a column of mud and causing no damage.

The commander of the 22501 tank reassured the gunner: "Look! The enemy has no combat skills at all. When the infantry's PPSh started firing, they were blinded!"

Just as he finished speaking, a heavy machine gun on the second floor next to the two vortexes opened fire - this was a wheeled Maxim machine gun that ANT was equipped with in large quantities, the kind with a water jacket, and the sound was dull and reliable when shooting.

At the same time as the machine gun opened fire, the PPSh in the sergeant's hand also began to fire.

Intensive firepower swept towards the dense formation of the Baras people. The battle seemed to have turned into a one-sided massacre, as if testing the firepower delivery capabilities of the Ant Expeditionary Force. If the delivery was not enough, the Baras soldiers with hideous and crazy laughter would rush to their faces and smash their heads with the butts of their guns.

Suddenly, a T34 rushed out from the middle of the Barras formation.

There should be a side street there, and the tanks were walking on that side street.

There were several Balas people sitting on top of the tank, all of them holding long-handled large knives, and they were frantically hacking at the drug-addicted Balas soldiers around the tank.

The commander of 22501 was stunned through the commander's observation window, but when he thought about it carefully, no one stipulated that the tank cavalry on the tank could not wield long-handled large swords.

(In fact, the common name of Seris is the uncarved version of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade)

The T34 was like a fish in water. Soon the tracks were covered with blood and flesh. The gaps in the steel tracks were filled up, and the road wheels were also covered with a thick layer of flesh.

The triangular area between the road wheels is now full of minced meat.

The T34 tank was still drifting continuously, and each drift would throw a large number of drug-addicted Balas soldiers into the wall.

The tank's three machine guns were also firing, but among so many people, the machine gun firepower seemed not enough.

The long-knife soldiers on the back of the tanks were so blood-thirsty that their pants were all red and most of their clothes were also red.

Suddenly, a long knife was grabbed by someone, and in a moment the man holding the long knife was pulled off the tank. The next moment his severed hand flew up, still holding the wooden handle of the long knife, but the knife was gone.

The enemy seemed to be gnawing at him, and soon he saw something like intestines being thrown up.

The commander of the 22501 tank saw all this and shouted, "I know what the so-called ghoul legend is about! Command! I know what the ghoul legend is about! My God! No wonder the ancients saw this scene and said it was an army of resurrected dead! The truth behind all this is actually like this!"

At this time, an order came over the radio: "Never mind these things, charge forward and crush them with your tracks! The enemy's intelligence is no longer enough to support them using Molotov cocktails to counter armor! Charge forward!"
