Chapter 521: Westland Crisis (3)
The palace was in chaos, sporadic gunfire was incessant, frightened people fled in all directions, and the guards in charge of the palace security defected en masse, killing the four-story white palace where the Nowasi family lived, killing anyone they saw, and most of the servants and attendants in the palace died at the guns of the rebels.
The bloody coup d'Γ©tat began, spreading from the central point of the royal palace to the whole country, which is a tragic fate that almost any country in East Africa cannot escape.
The seven-year-old prince Hartony, who was brought down by Meiji, saw the bloody scene in the restaurant, and saw that the guards who had been respectful to him in the past were breaking into the palace in a murderous manner, and he was so frightened that he hid behind Meiji and cried.
Yang Chen, who wanted to get out of the palace first, was quite helpless and shot while retreating, accurately shooting the rebels who broke in, he and Mei Ji wanted to kill out, and one hundred and eighty people couldn't stop them at all, but the most important thing at the moment was the safety of Hartony, and he needed to wait for the king's guard commanded by the eldest prince to arrive.
It's the safest way to do it.
Mei Ji understood what Yang Chen thought, escorted Hartony to a safe corner, picked up an M4 carbine in the process of retreating, and helped Yang Chen shoot four people.
At the entrance of the palace, the corpses of the rebels were lying or lying down, deterring other rebels from daring to rush in, the guards on duty in the palace were only more than 100 people, and the collective rebellion was not a huge momentum, and under the heavy casualties, they surrounded but did not fight, and several officers exchanged heads and ears, and seemed not to be in a hurry.
There is a back hand!
Yang Chen noticed this situation and became vigilant.
With two barracks of the King's Guard just five minutes from the palace and under the command of the Grand Prince himself, the rebels were so unhurried and fearless that they would have something to do.
Could it be that the entire King's Guard has defected?
Yang Chen frowned and thought about it, unable to determine his speculation, there was a team of instructors from the Arctic Fox on the King's Guard, and if something really happened, he should report to him in time.
Just as he was thinking about it, the gunfire outside suddenly intensified, and the rebels blocking the main entrance of the palace were like frightened birds, scattering and fleeing.
"Don't shoot, boss, it's us."
The man who led the team to disperse the rebels hurriedly walked into the palace with a look on his face, a member of the Arctic Fox instructor team, Long San of the dragon group, followed by more than a dozen people, all of them were Arctic Fox people, and when they saw Yang Chen, they all bowed their heads with shame.
"What's going on?" Yang Chen greeted the gang of men and asked.
Long San said weakly: "We failed to control the king's guard, the eldest prince was killed, and a few of us only brought out more than 200 soldiers loyal to the royal family. β
After listening to Long San's words, Yang Chen was not angry, and asked about the specific situation, it turned out that last night the military camp held a fraternity, most of the royal family members who were high-ranking officers in the guard were drunk, and they were assassinated by the rebels one by one at night, and the eldest prince was also in a different place, and then after being bewitched and instigated by the people in the anti-royal camp, most of the king's guard defected.
"You can't stay here, leave immediately" Yang Chen immediately decided, the King's Guard participated in the coup, the situation in the capital of Westland was very critical, and he had to leave.
He is not a god, and it is impossible for him to lead 200 people to defeat the tens of thousands of rebels who are about to arrive, not to mention that now is not the time to die.
Yang Chen walked out expressionlessly, Mei Ji followed closely with Hartony, surrounded by more than a dozen people, and outside the palace were two hundred black warriors loyal to the royal family.
As soon as the group walked out of the palace gate, a black soldier hurriedly came and reported in stilted English: "Sir, the rebels have surrounded the palace. β
"Damn, it's coming fast enough." Ryuzo gritted his teeth.
Yang Chen didn't say anything, he climbed high and looked into the distance, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles and thousands of soldiers came from all directions, like an endless tide.
The King's Guard, the strong team trained by the Arctic Fox, the equipment was all purchased from the Arctic Fox, but at this time, it became Yang Chen's biggest threat, and the wise man must make a mistake, he really overestimated the control of the Nowasi family over the King's Guard and the loyalty of the King's Guard.
"Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the rebels, we broke through to the east." Yang Chen on the roof of the palace gave an order, and more than a dozen people led by Long San acted quickly.
"I'm not leaving, this is my home." Seven-year-old Hartoni burst into tears.
"Do you want to avenge your parents, brothers, and sisters?" Yang Chen squatted down and asked the little guy who was crying bitterly, and the little guy cried and said he wanted to.
Even if it is a child, he understands that his family has been killed by bad people, and he knows how to hate.
"If you want revenge, follow me." Yang Chen wiped the tears from his face for the little guy, the country was ruined and he was helpless, so Hartoni regarded Yang Chen, who was very affinity, as a dependent, and nodded obediently.
Yang Chen found a body armor and put it on Hartony, the bulletproof vest worn by adults was worn on the child's body, it was long and loose, and in order to prevent slipping, Yang Chen roped the body armor to the little guy.
"Brother will take you out, and it won't be long before he can bring you back for revenge." Yang Chen personally picked up Hartoni and walked down the roof of the building as he spoke, and then he was in crisis step by step, not wanting Mei Ji to be dragged down by a child.
The people of the Arctic Fox surrounded Yang Chen's charm, and on the periphery were two hundred black soldiers, flocking to the east of the palace, and several tanks, a dozen armored vehicles, and five or six hundred people gathered outside the two-high wrought iron fence on the east wall of the palace.
"Rush!"
The three dragons pressed forward, and the two hundred black soldiers threw grenades first, and then charged, and the rebels who had just assembled and had not gained a firm foothold were dizzy by the grenade explosion, and suffered heavy casualties.
Two hundred black soldiers pushed open the east gate (two wrought iron gates) and rushed out, these fierce black men who knew that they might die in battle, but still bravely went forward to win the revenge of their little prince.
The rebels who relied on tanks and armored vehicles to build an encirclement were already stunned by the dense grenades, and then saw the group of former comrades-in-arms loyal to the royal family rushing over like crazy, and involuntarily retreated, thanks to the machine guns on several tanks, the people who rushed to the front were swept down, but the machine gunners who appeared on the tank armored vehicles did not have time to be complacent, and they were sniped by the Arctic fox people one after another, and they died in a daze.
The men in the tank wanted to open fire, but they didn't know where to aim, and the tank guns couldn't deal with the stragglers who were close at hand.
Under the cover of more than two hundred black soldiers, Yang Chen led the Arctic Fox men to seize two armored vehicles, and rampage, the rebel tanks finally found the target of the artillery bombardment, but they still missed, and the scorching shells ploughed out a shocking bloody ravine in their own camp, and finally overturned a military truck.
You have me, I have you, the scene is chaotic and tragic.
The two armored vehicles took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the encirclement, and none of the more than 200 black soldiers could follow them and turned into cannon fodder for Yang Chen to break through.
The two armored vehicles broke through all the way, rushed out of the capital of Westland, and continued to the east, east of the Gulf of Aden, Yang Chen's intention was obvious, and he took the nearest waterway.
"Boss, there's an airport for the King's Guard in the eastern suburbs, and there's a plane there." Long San reminded Yang Chen.
Yang Chen said: "There are rebels everywhere on the land, take a plane, once we are bombed down, we are all done." β
