Chapter 204: Lone Goose
In a valley somewhere in Zhangshan, where the defensive position originally built by the Iron Chain Gang was located, the ground was littered with the bodies of Iron Chain Gang members, most of which were incomplete.
The fortifications here are still well preserved because the Molan Company did not attack by force at all.
These fortifications can only deal with enemies coming from the ground and from the bottom of the mountain. They cannot stop the fighting mantises that can fly and jump in mountain jungles and adapt to various terrains.
And the fighting mantises have tactics. Some of them attract attention in the front, while others attack them from behind the mountain and from both sides.
Because the positions were almost all facing forward, and the members of the Chain Gang did not have very high combat skills, they were completely defenseless against attacks from other directions.
After the surprise attack by the fighting mantis, the Blood Ink Guards rushed to the position. They were not afraid of ordinary firearms at all, and with a movement speed that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, they broke through the defense line in just a few breaths.
As for the gang members in the fortress, when passing by the entrance of the fortress, they just need to throw in a can of nerve agent, which will immediately paralyze the people inside.
This group of fortresses, which could withstand thousands of troops in the past, was destroyed in just over ten minutes. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Iron Chain Gang had no artillery and their combat quality was not high.
But even if all these are available, there is no good way to deal with the almost all-terrain combat mantis and the Blood-Ink Guards whose reaction speed exceeds that of ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, these weapons and fortifications are aimed at the old-style army composed of ordinary people, and they have no resistance to the elite fast squads and combat weapons that are now armed to the teeth.
However, there are fewer people from the Iron Chain Gang here than expected, less than two hundred people. You have to know that the Iron Chain Gang is a large gang with tens of thousands of people, and the elite gang members can only be gathered together for a thousand or so.
After analyzing the situation, the staff of Molan Company believed that the Iron Chain Gang might not want to work for the people above them, and only arranged a small number of people here for the purpose of getting the job done.
Regardless, they were already here, and the plan was already largely successful.
Because this area is the narrowest and easiest to pass through in the mountainous area, once it was opened, all the personnel quickly passed through the mountainous area in less than an hour.
As they walked out of the valley, a gentle slope about 60 meters high appeared in front of them. The five directors walked up to it and looked at the endless wasteland in front of them. Standing here, they felt that they had control over the entire world.
The destination of their trip was the chaotic land two thousand kilometers away. Once they got there, with the power in their hands, they could rebuild the Kingdom of Molan.
But they won't just walk over there.
"Here I come."
After waiting for a while, a director noticed that two large silver airships were flying towards here. As they got closer, people with sharp eyes could already see the rotating propellers on the side and back of the airships.
These are two large rigid airships secretly built by Molan Company in the northwestern mountainous area. Each airship can carry more than 200 people after carrying key equipment, which is enough to take most of them to the chaotic place within one day.
The mooring tower had already been built, arranged by the Chain Gang's insiders, just below this slope. The Gang's leadership, persuaded by the insiders, had previously experimented with building a small airship and a corresponding factory. This served as a fallback for the Gang, allowing them to retreat at a critical moment.
But they didn't know that all of this was deliberately arranged by Molan, and even the technology and supplies had their secret help. Now everything, including the nearby airship factory and the airship, have been taken over by their people, which makes their evacuation plan more convenient and sufficient.
"It will take at least an hour for the pursuers to arrive. We have set up a simple blocking position below. No matter how hard they chase us, they won't be able to catch up with us." A director said.
"Once we reach the land of chaos, the Molan Company will be able to rebuild there."
"Yes, the chaotic land will provide it with enough nutrients, and new black orchids will bloom there."
Just as these directors were looking into the future, the participants in the operations meeting room of the Yangzhi City Police Headquarters were in an uproar.
At this moment they also received the news. After all, there was no reason for them not to see such a large airship moving.
"How could you not notice such a huge airship? What are you doing?" someone shouted.
A government official wiped the sweat from his brow with a handkerchief and said defensively, "We knew that the Molan Company had a hot air balloon factory there, just for sightseeing, but we never imagined there was actually an airship factory there..."
The road there is far and it is in the mountains, which has nothing to do with Yangzhi City. Moreover, the mountains are much more dangerous than the city. Who would have the time to go there to check?
"Commissioner Cao, what should we do now? The people we sent over now simply can't catch up."
As the question was asked, all eyes in the room turned to Commissioner Cao. After all, he was the main person responsible for this matter.
Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice, "No need to chase."
"What?"
Commissioner Cao looked outside and slowly repeated, "No need to chase."
At the junction of the Great Wilderness and Zhangshan, people from the Molan Company began to gather towards the airship factory built by the Iron Chain Gang. They wanted to inflate the small airship inside, while waiting at the anchor outside for the two large airships to land.
"Manager Cui, what are you doing? Who are you messaging?"
A company employee looked at the deputy director of security Cui Hong with some surprise. At this time, he was sitting alone and sending a message with a radio.
Cui Hong replied casually, "Nothing, just sending a message to our colleagues in the chaotic area."
Seeing him looking so relaxed, the employee didn't suspect anything, because even if he sent a message to Yangzhi City, it would be useless because the people there couldn't get there in time.
Looking at the huge monster gradually approaching in the sky, he couldn't help but feel excited. Riding such a vehicle to a chaotic place would be like a god descending.
At this moment, twenty kilometers away from them, on a series of circular railway tracks, there were parked fourteen 270mm large-caliber railway guns that had been driven here in advance, prepared for three days, and had their bases anchored.
The gun operators had already calibrated all the shooting parameters, and all the gun muzzles were aimed at the area where the people from Molan Company were at the moment.
It took the army of Hangu City a year to build the railway here, but the railway will continue to be built until it connects to Yangzhi City, connecting Hangu City and Yangzhi City into one by land.
At this moment, after receiving the long-awaited telegram, the radio operator immediately notified the supreme commander in charge of this operation.
The officer in the wide-brimmed hat looked toward the mountains to the south, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order. Fire at the designated target!"
"fire!"
"fire!"
"fire!"
“…”
As the order was passed down, fourteen railway guns let out earth-shaking roars. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the earth trembled continuously, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the air.
After sending the telegram, Cui Hong leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it up as if enjoying himself. Then he handed a written telegram to the company employee beside him and said, "Go and deliver this message to the five directors."
The employee took it and was overjoyed. This was a rare opportunity for him to show his face in front of the five directors. He said gratefully, "Thank you, supervisor."
"Well, go ahead."
Cui Hong slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, took off his hat representing the Molan Company, put on an old hat he carried with him, pinned a Dashun Republic of China hat badge on his chest, and looked up at the sky.
“The sky is so blue…”
The employee eagerly ran towards the five directors, but was quickly stopped by the Blood-Ink Guards. He could only wave the telegram in his hand and shout, "Directors, this is a telegram from the Land of Chaos. Deputy Director Cui asked me to give it to you."
The five directors were immediately attracted by the word "Land of Chaos", but they were a little confused because they had not asked Cui Hong to handle this matter before, and this should be the responsibility of the intelligence department.
A hint of vigilance and suspicion appeared in their eyes, and they immediately sent someone to receive the telegram.
At the same time, he glanced outside and saw that all the Blood and Ink Guards were loyally guarding their side, which made them feel at ease. As long as these people were guarding, nothing would happen.
After the telegram was confirmed to be correct, it was brought over. One of the directors took it and saw that it read, "Agent Cui Hong of the Bureau of General Affairs, codenamed Lone Goose, sends his greetings to everyone and wishes you a pleasant journey."
The director's pupils shrank sharply, and a huge sense of fear suddenly gripped his heart. But when he wanted to say something, at this moment, the shell that had been flying in the air for half a minute finally landed on this area!
boom!
These shells not only covered the entire area, but also exploded all the hydrogen stored in the airship factory, and a huge fireball rolled up into the sky!
The dull sound of the explosion spread to Yangzhi City, and everyone could hear it clearly. Even the windows were buzzing, and some dust was shaken off from them.
"Commissioner Cao?"
"Commissioner Cao, this is..."
Commissioner Cao did not explain anything. He just looked towards the north and reached out to silently take off his hat. Not only him, but all the staff of the General Affairs Bureau took off their hats.
Most people didn't understand what was going on, but some people reacted and looked solemn.
Half a minute later, Commissioner Cao put his hat back on. He walked to the side, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice, "Order the troops to advance faster and eliminate all enemies in sight!"
