As the most prosperous area in the western part of the capital, Wantong Mall was very prosperous before the apocalypse.
There was a large amount of resources here, and there were also various jewelry shops that could recover all kinds of precious metal items.
Therefore, other than rescuing the survivors, it was necessary to collect a large amount of resources here to prepare for the construction of the base.
According to Luo Chen's estimations, the resources that could be collected here were worth at least 10 million yuan.
However, due to time constraints, the troops might only be able to loot a small portion before they had to retreat.
After all, such a large-scale battle was happening in the bustling area of the university town. The loud noise would even attract infected creatures from more than ten kilometers away.
Luo Chen only had one company under him, so it was impossible for him to complete the occupation and plundering mission.
Therefore, his main target was still the gold shop, jewelry shop on the first floor of the mall, and the supermarket upstairs.
The main tactical requirement for a Guardian operation was to be fast, accurate, and ruthless.
According to Luo Chen's arrangements, they would first gather their forces to open up a gap while the second and third platoons and the mortar troops would set up a defensive line to guard the main entrance of the mall.
The army couldn't use the parking lot, and those large vehicles weren't suitable to be deployed in this area, so they could only choose the main entrance as the main entry point.
Then, the first row would act as the main force to break into the mall and rescue the survivors.
At the same time, Luo Chen also transferred a military guard squad and two militia squads. With the 212 Assault Jeep as the main vehicle and two Wuling vans as support, they formed a temporary reconnaissance squad.
This team would search for and rescue survivors nearby and bring them back to the defensive line.
With the existence of the mortar unit, machine gun unit, marksman unit, and fire assault squad, Luo Chen was confident that he could hold the mall for a certain amount of time.
The entire operation must be completed within an hour. All the survivors must be rescued and then immediately evacuated from the area.
After that, the troops would return to the vicinity of the apartment where the zombies had been cleared. They would temporarily settle down and then formulate the next action plan.
Soon, the convoy successfully entered the main entrance of Wantong Mall and formed a fan shape.
"Quick, quick, quick! First Platoon, follow me! Break into the mall!"
Li Mo took the lead and immediately rushed to the main entrance of the mall with a row of elites.
The Grenadier in the armed forces immediately fired two high-explosive rounds at the main entrance with the 40mm grenades attached to the Type 97 rifle.
After two explosions, two holes appeared in the mall's main door. The soldiers immediately jumped in.
"Second Platoon! Third Platoon! Set up a defensive line!"
"Machine gun team, quickly install the Type 67 machine gun!”
"Mortar Platoon! Set up a mortar base here! Quick, quick, quick!"
Under a series of dazzling commands, the troops spread out in an orderly manner. Relying on the vehicles as a line of defense, they began to clean up the zombies around the mall.
"Woo! Roar!" The loud noise immediately alerted the surrounding zombies. They swarmed over like a free canteen.
The dense horde of zombies was like a tide, pouring into the square from all directions and spreading towards the troops.
Luo Chen looked through the car's camera at the tide of zombies outside and frowned slightly.
"There are a lot of them." He muttered to himself and then pretended to sit calmly in the command vehicle.
Even Chen Yun's face turned slightly pale when she saw the tide of zombies. However, at this moment, Luo Chen, the commander of the operation, was so calm.
She suddenly felt a sense of security and calmed down.
At this moment, the temporary artillery position was set up. Since there was no need to consider counter-artillery, the four mortars were arranged in two rows, like the four corners of a square.
Some of the militiamen who came to assist also unloaded boxes of ammunition from the vehicles.
The soldiers of the mortar squad finished assembling the mortars that were separated into the gun racks and barrels. At this time, the two Type 67 general machine gun squads and the Type 82 recoilless cannons were set up.
In addition to the powerful firepower formed by the dozen Machine Gunners, the Machine Gunners fired continuously.
When they encountered a zombie horde that was more difficult to deal with, the Machine Gunners would pull the trigger and fire at it, causing the zombies to fall like wheat being harvested.
The human wave tactic had already been proven in the Marne River in the First World War.
However, due to the source stone disease, zombies would not die completely unless their heads were smashed.
However, under the power of the 7.62 machine gun, even if one's head wasn't smashed, one's lower limbs were broken, or one was hit in half, one basically wouldn't be able to move.
These zombies were more likely to be trampled to death by their own companions.
Not long after the machine guns were set up and the intersection was blocked, the mortar squad was ready.
"2 o'clock, 367 meters, close range!! After the trajectory calculation was completed, three high-explosive rounds were fired!”
"Calculation complete! Open fire!"
After measuring the trajectory, four 60mm mortar shells were loaded into the mortar tube.
Then, four high-explosive rounds were fired.
They saw a large group of zombies approaching while the machine gun squad was reloading their bullets.
The zombies in the middle of the fire were blown into pieces, and then the shrapnel knocked down countless zombies.
After the 12 rounds, a large area was cleared out.
"Good shot! Target hit! Continue shooting!"
