Chapter 465: Keep Creating Opportunities
That night, a fire broke out in the warehouses of the port of Progreso. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info fire, illuminating the four fields, even in the city of Merida, more than 30 kilometers away, you can see the bright light in the night. It is believed that several oil storage tanks were burned.
Many of the city's slave laborers were awakened at night by the loud sound and vibration of the explosion of oil tanks, and as they looked through their windows at the fires that lit up the sky, messages began to spread in all directions.
The guards and overseers of the city camps drove the slaves to sleep with whips and scolding, but their repression confirmed the suspicion that many slaves were fighting against the Enclave, and that they had succeeded.
And on the top of the spire of the Doge's Palace, Governor Alfonso was holding up a telescope and shouting, "Look, look, old Martin, look at it, the harbor has been burned." I bet it was the Aurora Legion's guys.
They're so powerful that they can wreak havoc in just one day. We should join forces with such powerful people to fight against the bastards of the Enclave. They must be contacted immediately as our foreign helpers, so that we can really take power. ”
The old butler on the side still had a sad face, and almost did not respond to the governor's shouting, until Alfonso turned from inquiry to scolding, and he said respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency the Governor, I will definitely try my best to contact the 'Aurora Legion'." ”
The fire in the harbor burned all night, and the Enclave's stock of all kinds of oil in its three tanks was gone. Without this fuel, the various slave factories organized by Lula in the city of Merida would not be able to operate, and the entire administrative system of the Yucatan region would be paralyzed.
Early the next morning, after securing the roads in the port, Lula headed for the town of Progreso with more soldiers. As his car passed by the blasted crater, thousands of slave laborers could be seen mending large holes in the ground.
A five-kilogram bag of explosives is powerful enough to blow up a hole in the asphalt that is 10 meters in diameter and two or three meters deep, and even the roadbed is destroyed. To repair such a large hole, the road must be completely dug up. And there are more than a dozen such pits, which last for hundreds of meters.
Without enough construction machinery, relying only on manpower to repair is extremely inefficient and time-consuming, and even transporting cement is a troublesome task. The devastation of the scene will inevitably spread through the mouths of the slave laborers, and the fact that the Enclave has been challenged will be known.
"Damn the 'Aurora Legion', I won't let you go easily." Lula sat in his car and slowly passed the road that was being repaired, and on the outside of the road there was a large number of wreckage of vehicles destroyed in the explosion.
The combat platoon intensively planted explosives packets, blew up more than 20 vehicles, and caused nearly 300 casualties, including more than 100 dead and seriously wounded. The bodies of these people were randomly thrown on the side of the road to be buried on the spot, without even covering them.
Lula continued to drive to the port town, where the damage was even worse. The more than 5,000 slaves who had been working here rebelled, leaving behind thousands of corpses after a night of tossing, while others looted the harbor and fled.
The 'Enclave' officer in charge of guarding the port reported to Lula that "we have more than two hundred vehicles looted or vandalized, six warehouses looted, fourteen warehouses burned, including several oil storage tanks."
Our arsenal has also been blown up, and a number of weapons and ammunition have been lost, the exact number of which is still being counted. The pier leading to the pier was also badly damaged, with preliminary estimates taking five to seven days to repair due to the destruction of the piers.
We're organizing people to get the escaped slave laborers back, and now that the wilderness is too harsh to live in for a long time, I believe it won't be long before we can get those damn bastards back. ”
The officers guarding the port were gnashing their teeth and hated the attackers who had destroyed his territory. But Lula didn't look at his face at all, and just asked coldly: "I clearly warned you that someone might attack you during the day yesterday, but why did you do such a bad job of defense at night?" ”
The guard officer was immediately stunned, and it can't be said that he and his men were all negligent, right? While he was pondering his words, Lula snorted coldly and said, "Arrest this incompetent fellow, and I will send him to the gallows for dereliction of duty." ”
Judging the life and death of a person in a word, everyone present is cold in their hearts and their souls are not possessed. Lula's guards immediately ripped the derelict officers down, and Lula himself shouted coldly at the remaining guards: "This matter will not end so easily, if you can't catch last night's attacker, you all wait to die." I will not tolerate the presence of waste under my hands. ”
Lula's ferocity was well known, and no one took his words as a joke, not even the 'Enclave' were terrified of him. For a while, everyone's hearts were heavy, and for the sake of their own fame and fortune, they were ruthless in their hearts to arrest the attackers who destroyed the entire town and port last night.
On the other hand, the task force, which had worked hard all night, reaped a good harvest. When Zhou Qingfeng only took less than ten people to the town to sabotage last night, the people in the combat platoon still felt that their boss was too risky. But when he waited to reunite with Zhou Qingfeng, he found that the corps commander was not only unharmed, but also pulled out a team.
Two Panhard VBL armoured vehicles were obtained, three armed pickup trucks, six tankers filled with diesel fuel, and twelve trucks filled with food and weapons. By the way, more than 100 Mexican slave laborers were abducted, all of whom were relatively in good health and could immediately have combat effectiveness.
In order to find Zhou Qingfeng and these saboteurs, Lula ordered all six drones in the city of Merida to take off. As a result, three drones were shot down by the combat platoon with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles in the process of trying to recover.
The battle was so easy, and the results were so rich, that the combat platoon of more than 40 people retreated with all their bodies, and not a single hair was injured. This greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in enemy territory and made them feel more relaxed.
Zhou Qingfeng knew that if he stabbed the nest of the ants, the enemy would inevitably go crazy. He told Nieto and the others, who were still in the village of Ticopo, to run away overnight, because they couldn't stay near Merida City, and they didn't want to be found to retaliate, so they had to run far away and find a suitable place to use as a base.
In order to have convenient transportation, suitable for hiding, and easy to contact with the outside world, Zhou Qingfeng chose the town of Mascano, more than 50 kilometers southwest of Merida City, as his new base.
The town is relatively large, but it has been abandoned because of Lula's 'centralised management' policy. The cold wind and cold rain in the town are similar to ghosts, which is more suitable for Tibetans in a short period of time or two.
At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng's team has rapidly swelled to more than 200 people, twenty or thirty cars, and the development momentum is excellent. And the 'Enclave' will also be chaotic in the Yucatan region for a few days, and as long as the chaos is there, he will continue to create opportunities. (To be continued.) )
