Chapter 42, Fishing, Fishing Hard
Gu Hang does have his own plans.
Since he had already guessed that something was fishy about the matter and that the journey to rescue Yan Fangxu would probably not be peaceful, he certainly would not let himself fall into the enemy's trap unprepared.
At present, he was roughly sure that the people who targeted him were the original Angry Owl Cult. This group of cult members had been under a lot of pressure because of his pressure on Renaissance City. They couldn't solve the problem, so they began to try to solve the person who raised the problem.
That is the governor himself.
It is somewhat surprising that they also have the initial ability to drive mutant monsters.
However, he judged that the forces these cultists could mobilize would not be too strong. If they had the ability and wanted to kill him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble and just mobilize the forces to attack his camp.
They didn't do this because they obviously couldn't do so. They had to choose the battle site in a dense forest environment so that they could take advantage of the monsters they could control and have a greater chance of winning.
After understanding this premise, Gu Hang would not rashly lead the 2nd Infantry Battalion into the woods.
Four armored vehicles led the way, followed by a large number of infantry soldiers, and the entire team marched along the edge of the woods.
Gu Hang led the team to look for a route that was closer to the besieged Yan Fangxu and had sparser trees.
It doesn't matter if you walk slower.
Anyway, Yan Fangxu said that there is no danger there for the time being.
Then Gu Hang happily walked away slowly.
In fact, rescuing Yan Fangxu was not Gu Hang’s primary goal this time.
His actions were not urgent at all. Although he pretended to go to the rescue, in fact, he just wanted to lure the enemy out.
At the edge of the woods, but before entering, his team came upon a small-scale attack.
A bunch of abscess monsters rushed out, but were killed by a round of fire from the soldiers.
It was more like a test, or a manifestation of insufficient control over large-scale monsters.
Unfortunately, the enemy’s main force was not lured out.
So after thinking about it, Gu Hang waved his hand and led the team into the dense forest.
Keep fishing.
After entering the forest, Gu Hang's team moved even slower. They always maintained a tight formation, relying on the four Walkers, and refused to relax. If the trees were too dense, they would rather stop temporarily, burn or cut down the trees, and ensure a clear view.
When fishing, if you use yourself as bait, you can't really let anyone bite you.
The Governor's troops were so leisurely and unhurried that it was really frustrating.
Pobov was a little anxious.
The 2nd Battalion he led had not been able to compete with Yan Fangxu some time ago, and did not get the job of clearing the forest of alien monsters. He felt a little frustrated, and could only vent his energy by training the soldiers while staying in the camp.
Hearing the governor's order to gather the troops, he and his men became alert all of a sudden. Especially when they heard that their mission was to rescue the 3rd Battalion led by Yan Fangxu, which was trapped in the woods by a large number of mutant monsters, he was even more eager to fight.
You are a senior officer, right? You are a regular officer from the Imperial Navy, right? Don't you think I, a peasant, have to save you?
He really wanted to lead the team immediately, run through the entire forest, kill his way to Yan Fangxu, and then laugh loudly at him in front of that guy.
However, he was still able to suppress his desire to fight.
When they set out, the Governor had already roughly told them the goal of this operation. Rescue was secondary. The most important thing was that they might be ambushed on the road, and they had to lure out the ambushers.
When he heard the news, he was even more furious.
How dare someone set his sights on the Governor?
They are truly sworn enemies!
In Perbov's heart, the attempt to murder the governor was more hateful than murdering himself.
He had been back to Feidong Village some time ago. Although he had not been away from home for long, there had been tremendous changes there. Having enough food and clothing was the most basic thing. Everyone lived in houses on the surface and no longer had to live in crowded caves in the dark.
The houses in the residential area are simple board houses for the time being, but they are planning to build a new brick factory and cement factory, and have also planned an area to build a single-family building. Perbov has seen the design drawings of the building, which are very beautiful. When he was working in the cave in the past, he could only live in such a house in his dreams.
At that time, housing will be allocated according to work points. According to the work points that Perbov has now in the army and the work points that his wife has in the factory, they can definitely be among the first to move in after the planned houses are built.
Life was becoming better and better, and Perbov also deeply understood that at this moment he was not only fighting for the Governor, but also fighting to defend his life which was becoming better and better with great effort.
All of this was caused by the Governor. Anyone who dares to harm the Governor, anyone who dares to interrupt their pursuit of a better life, will be their mortal enemy!
It was precisely because of this that he was able to completely suppress his desire for war. He carried out the Governor's steady and cautious orders without compromise, hiding all his anger in his heart, waiting for the moment to release it.
This anger, when it breaks out, will burn very fiercely.
And this opportunity to break out did not make Pobov wait too long.
The enemy is coming.
They could hear the roar unique to the abscess monster coming from all around the dense forest, becoming clearer and clearer.
Their roar is very special. This monster without a head or mouth can make a sharp and unpleasant sound to intimidate its prey by vibrating the lumps all over its body at a high frequency.
After hearing the noise, without the Governor saying anything, Perbov gave orders to the companies. They immediately stopped clearing the way and quickly moved to the defensive positions.
After a while, the figures of those disgusting monsters could be vaguely seen through the woods.
But the soldiers still adhered to the combat discipline and did not open fire immediately. Only the precision shooters deployed in the company had better shooting skills and more suitable precision rifles to try to kill from a distance.
For the time being, the gunshots were still sparse, but almost every time a gunshot was heard, a monster in the jungle fell down.
After a while, the monsters moved closer to the edge of the woods and closer to the small open space cleared by the soldiers.
It was at this time that officers at all levels gave the order to open fire.
In an instant, bullets, artillery fire, and machine guns of infantry fighting vehicles covered all the surrounding areas.
Under the baptism of the metal storm, many of the monsters fell down before they could get out of the dense forest; even if they could get out, they were one step closer to death and were shot to death by bullets.
The well-prepared human soldiers defended the city like an iron wall!
