I think zombies would be easily to beat with proper weaponry. Machine guns and the like run out of ammo so modern military weapons would be useless.
If there were around a hundred survivors kit them all out in tower shields (scavenge riot shields somewhere?) and short swords. Roman style. The Romans were especially good at fighting against massive numbers of lightly armed targets.
They would stand in a rectangle with the first row fighting. In a narrow alley in modern settings as there aren't enough fighters to cover an entire field. The enemy charged and were bashed back with the shield and then killed with the sword. Repeat. After a short while the first row would get tired and would retreat to the back and be replaced by the second row.
With some training the survivors could easily take zombie hordes. At least outnumbered 10 to 1 or more.
