Chapter 465 Constantly Creating Opportunities
It was night, and the warehouse at the port of Progreso was on fire. ?? Lie Wen?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Several oil storage tanks are believed to have been set on fire.
Slave laborers in many cities were awakened at night by the bang and vibrations of exploding oil tanks, and as they looked through their windows at the flames lighting up the sky, messages began to spread.
The guards and overseers of the urban concentration camps drove the slaves to sleep with whips and scolding, but their repressive actions confirmed what many slaves had suspected—someone was doing the right thing to the 'Enclave' and succeeded.
And on the spire of the Governor's Palace, Governor Alfonso is holding up a telescope and shouting, "Look, look, old Martin, look, the port is burned. I bet it's 'Aurora Legion' people did it.
They are really powerful enough to cause so much damage in just one day. We should unite with such powerful people to fight against the bastards of the 'Enclave'. We must immediately contact them as our foreign aid, so that we can truly grasp the power. "
The old butler on the side still had a sad expression on his face, and he barely responded to the Governor's yelling, until Alfonso turned from asking to scolding, he said respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency Governor, I will definitely try my best To contact the 'Aurora Legion'."
The fire at the port burned all night, and all the various oils stored in the three oil tanks of the "Enclave" were destroyed. Without these oils, the various slave factories organized by Lula in Merida would not be able to operate, and the administrative system of the entire 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. When his car passed the blasted crater, he could still see thousands of slave laborers repairing the big hole in the ground.
A five-kilogram explosive pack is powerful enough to blast a large hole ten meters in diameter and two or three meters deep on the asphalt road, and even destroy the roadbed. To repair such a large hole, the road must be completely dug. And there are more than a dozen such pits, extending for hundreds of meters.
There is not enough construction machinery, and manual repairs are extremely inefficient and time-consuming, and even transporting cement is a hassle. The tragedy of the destruction site will inevitably spread through the mouths of the slave workers, and the fact that the 'Enclave' has been challenged will be known to everyone.
"Damn 'Aurora Legion', I won't let you go easily." Lula sat in the car and slowly passed the road that was being repaired, and there were a lot of wreckage of vehicles destroyed in the explosion on the outside of the road.
The combat platoon densely buried explosive packs, blowing up more than 20 vehicles, causing more than 300 casualties, of which more than 100 were dead or seriously injured. The bodies of these people were randomly thrown on the side of the road for burial on the spot.
Not even a cover.
Lula drove on to the port town, where the damage was even worse. The more than 5,000 slaves who originally worked here rioted, leaving thousands of corpses after a night of tossing, and others robbed the port and fled in all directions.
The "Enclave" officer in charge of guarding the port reported to Lula, "We have had two hundred vehicles stolen or destroyed, six warehouses looted, and fourteen warehouses burned, including several oil storage tanks.
Our arsenal was also bombed, and a number of weapons and ammunition were lost. The specific figures are still being counted. The trestle bridge leading to the pier was also severely damaged. Due to the damaged pier, it is initially estimated that it will take five to seven days to repair it.
We are organizing personnel to capture the escaped slave laborers. Now that the wild environment is harsh, it is impossible to live for a long time. I believe that it will not take long to capture all those damned bastards. "
The officer guarding the port is gnashing his teeth, hating the raiders who destroy 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 your defense work at night be so bad?"
The guard officer froze immediately. It couldn't be said that he and his subordinates were all negligent, right? When he was thinking about his words, Lula snorted coldly and said, "Arrest this incompetent guy, and I will hang him for dereliction of duty."
Just one word to judge life and death, everyone present was cold-hearted and out of their wits. Lula's guards immediately dragged down the dereliction of duty officer, and Lula himself said to the rest of the guards coldly: "This matter will not end so easily, if you don't catch the attacker last night, you all wait Go to hell. I will not tolerate the presence of trash among my men."
Lula's ferocity is well known to everyone, and no one takes his words as a joke, even the people in the "Enclave" are terrified of him. For a moment, everyone's heart was heavy. For their own fame and fortune, each of them wanted to bring back the attackers who destroyed the entire town and port last night.
On the other side, the task force who had worked hard all night had a great harvest. Last night when Zhou Qingfeng brought less than ten people to the small town to wreak havoc, everyone in the combat platoon still felt that his boss was too risky. But when they rejoined Zhou Qingfeng, they discovered that the army commander was not only unscathed, but also pulled out a team.
Only two 'Panhard' VBL armored vehicles, three armed pickup trucks, six tank trucks full of diesel, and twelve trucks full of food and weapons were obtained. By the way, more than a hundred Mexican slave laborers were also abducted. These are relatively healthy people who can immediately have combat effectiveness.
In order to find the saboteurs like Zhou Qingfeng, Lula ordered to take off all six drones in Merida. As a result, three drones were shot down by the combat platoon with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles while trying to track them down.
The battle was so easy and the results so fruitful, the combat platoon of more than forty people retreated without a single hair being injured. This greatly boosted the morale of soldiers in enemy territory and made them feel more relaxed.
But Zhou Qingfeng knew that if he stabbed an ant's nest, the enemy would definitely go crazy. He informed Nieto and others who were still in Ticopo Village to run away together overnight. They couldn't stay near Merida City. If they didn't want to be approached for revenge, they had to go far away to find a suitable place to make a base.
In order to have convenient transportation, suitable for hiding, and easy to communicate with the outside world, Zhou Qingfeng chose the town of Mascanu, more than 50 kilometers southwest of Merida, as his new base.
This town is relatively large, but it has been abandoned because of Lula's 'centralized management' policy. The cold wind and rain in the town are similar to ghosts, so it is more suitable for hiding people in a short period of one or two days.
At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng's team has rapidly expanded to more than two hundred people, with twenty or thirty cars, and the development momentum is considered to be excellent. And the 'Enclave' will be in chaos for a few days in the Yucatan area, as long as there is chaos, it will continue to create opportunities for him. (To be continued.)
