Chapter 477: The Pit

"What?! Station 4 lost? Cheng Yanqiu's armed men are close to more than 1,000 people? Hearing the news, Cheng Su finally couldn't sit still, and hurriedly gathered a group of cronies under his hand and those supporters within the consortium and family.

"Report to the family master, this group of people brought by Cheng Yanqiu this time is not only well-armed, but also has extremely high combat quality, accurate marksmanship, and tacit understanding with each other, our soldiers ...... Completely...... Not opponents at all, these people should not be ordinary people who have been temporarily armed. A man in combat uniform with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder stood up and said.

"And where did he get so many people? According to the intelligence, didn't his original 'Viper' special forces have less than a hundred people? Do your intelligence services all eat rice?! Cheng Su said angrily.

"That...... According to the equipment procurement list of the Viper Special Forces, this force does have less than 100 people, so we speculate that this force of more than 800 people should be Cheng Yanqiu with the help of external forces......"

"Outside forces? Are they the conglomerates that are hostile to us? Cheng Su was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the person who spoke, this is a middle-aged man wearing an expensive suit and a pair of gold wire frames on the bridge of his nose, although this person looks like a crepe, but he is the top director of the intelligence department of the Cheng Foundation.

"No, it's not...... As soon as the incident happened, I had already sent someone to investigate, whether it was the behind-the-scenes consortium of several shelters in the surrounding shelters, or those consortiums that had always been our enemies, they had not recently transferred more than 100 troops, and as for the mercenary guilds in the black market, there was no similar commission record...... It's as if it's a ghost that has come out of nowhere. ”

"Ghosts?" Cheng Su sneered, "I allocate so much manpower and material resources to you every year, and now you tell this army that this army is a group of 'ghosts', are you making me laugh?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

At this moment, one of Cheng Su's cronies came over, leaned into Cheng Su's ear, and whispered, "The head of the family...... This force, could it be that the 'organization' provided it to Cheng Yanqiu? ”

"......" Hearing this, Cheng Su fell into a long silence, and after a while, he raised his head again, and looked at everyone present with a deep gaze, these people sitting at the conference table can be said to be equivalent to the management of the entire Cheng consortium, but only half of them can be regarded as Cheng Su's henchmen, and most of the remaining people are either coerced, or lured, or both, so they have to become a part of the Cheng Su group.

"Ahem, everyone knows the current situation, I won't talk about anything else, since we have done it, then we must do it thoroughly...... Well, what happened before, so there's no point in pursuing it. ”

Cheng Su pretended to be flat, then looked at the lieutenant colonel, and asked, "Where is the closest place to Station No. 4 where our people are stationed?" ”

"Report to the owner, it is an abandoned mine pit that has been depleted by the Four Winds Mining Company, two kilometers away from Station 4, and it is the only way for Station 4 to enter the hinterland of Vault 909, which is now garrisoned by troops of a reinforced company of private troops."

"A strengthened company...... Do they have heavy firepower? Cheng Su asked.

"This ...... There were only two light power armor and four heavy machine guns. ”

"Mobilize all the troops nearby, and in addition, you personally bring a hundred family guards to reinforce the abandoned mine, and make sure to block them here!" Cheng Su slapped the table and said categorically.

"Yes! In the decision to live up to the mission! ”

……

……

Vault 909, Abandoned Mine.

This abandoned pit was discovered after the construction of Vault 909, mainly producing porphyry copper ore and a small amount of associated aluminum ore, but the reserves are not large, and in just two years when the mechanized mining equipment is at full power, the deposit has dried up, leaving only an underground pit with a depth of more than 400 meters and a diameter of more than 500 meters.

To enter the hinterland of Vault 909 from Station 4, one must pass through this pit, and there are only three ways to get through it.

Two roads are located on both sides of the pit, and the third road is in the middle of the pit, and one is more than 600 meters long, and the volley crosses the past metal track above the pit.

The tunnels on both sides of the pit have been heavily defended, with solid rock walls on one side and cliffs on the other, making it difficult for attackers to rush past with a single machine gun.

At the other end of the pit is an abandoned ore processing plant, but it has now been converted into a makeshift fortress, and even if attackers can break through the barriers on both sides of the passage, they will have to pay a huge price to take down the ore processing plant.

Three nearest reinforcements have already arrived in the mines, and the number of soldiers stationed in the mining city now stands at more than five hundred.

The gap in numbers is not large, and the defenders are defending according to the danger, and Cheng Yanqiu's desire to enter the hinterland of Vault 909 seems to have become completely impossible.

Even the lieutenant colonel felt that the defense here could already be called "impregnable", no matter whether Cheng Yanqiu chose to attack from the left or the right, he would be blocked by fierce firepower, he only had six power armor under his command, and the passage was very narrow for the power armor, there was no room to dodge at all, in the face of large-caliber machine guns, anti-materiel sniper rifles and rockets, which can threaten the power armor, the power armor operator could only choose to resist.

"Unless, the other party can fly over the ...... of the mine"

Thinking so, the lieutenant colonel suddenly heard a shrill sound of metal grinding from the other side of the pit, and he immediately raised his head, and when he saw the rail car on the other side of the pit speeding towards this end, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughedβ€”

"Good! That's great! There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into! Call me and blast this railcar straight away! Send all the people above to the bottom of the pit! ”

The muzzles on both sides of the pit immediately turned their angles and aimed at the railcars that were moving at high speed, however, at the moment when these guns fired, the railcars suddenly braked sharply and hovered in mid-air!

All the guns were based on the speed of the rail car, and the rail car braked so sharply that the shells fired flew directly in front of the rail car and hit the opposite cliff.
