Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 204: Lone Goose
In a valley somewhere in Zhangshan, where the defensive position originally built by the Iron Chain Gang was located, the ground was littered with the bodies of Iron Chain Gang members, most of which were incomplete.

The fortifications here are still well preserved because the Molan Company did not force an attack at all.

These fortifications can only deal with enemies coming from the ground and from the bottom of the mountain. They cannot stop the fighting mantises that can fly and jump in mountain jungles and adapt to various terrains.

And the fighting mantises have tactics. Some of them attract attention in the front, while others go around from behind the mountain and on the sides to attack them.

Because the positions were almost all facing forward, and the members of the Chain Gang did not have very high combat skills, they were completely defenseless against attacks from other directions.

After the surprise attack by the Battle Mantis, the Blood Ink Guards rushed to the position. They were not afraid of ordinary firearms at all, and their movement speed was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. They broke through the defense line in just a few breaths.

As for the gang members in the fortress, when passing by the entrance of the fortress, they just need to throw in a can of nerve agent, which will immediately paralyze the people inside.

This group of fortresses that could withstand thousands of troops in the past was destroyed in just over ten minutes. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Iron Chain Gang had no artillery and their combat quality was not high.

But even if all these are available, there is no good way to deal with the almost all-terrain fighting mantis and the Blood-Ink Guards whose reaction speed exceeds that of ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, these weapons and fortifications are aimed at the old-style army composed of ordinary people, and they have no resistance to the current elite fast squads and combat weapons that are armed to the teeth.

It's just that the Iron Chain Gang here has fewer people than expected, less than two hundred people. You have to know that the Iron Chain Gang is a large gang with tens of thousands of people, and the elite gang members can only be gathered together in a thousand or so.

After analyzing the situation, the staff of Molan Company believed that the Iron Chain Gang might not want to work for the people above them, and only arranged a small number of people here for the purpose of getting the job done.

Regardless, they were already here, and the plan was already half successful.

Because this area is the narrowest and easiest to pass through in the mountainous area, once it was opened, all personnel quickly passed through the mountainous area in less than an hour.

As they walked out of the valley, a gentle earth slope about sixty meters high appeared in front of them. The five directors walked up it and looked at the endless wasteland in front of them. Standing here, they felt that they had mastered the entire world.

The destination of their trip was the chaotic land two thousand kilometers away. Once they got there, with the power in their hands, they could rebuild the Kingdom of Molan.

But they won't just walk there.

"coming."

After waiting for a while, a director noticed that two large silver airships were flying towards here. As they got closer, people with sharp eyes could already see the rotating propellers on the sides of the airships.

These are two large rigid airships that Molan Company secretly built in the northwestern mountainous area. Each airship can carry more than 200 people after carrying key equipment, which is enough to take most of them to the chaotic area within one day.

The mooring tower had already been built under the help of the Chain Gang, just below this slope. The upper echelons of the Chain Gang had previously tried to build a small airship and a matching factory building under the persuasion of the inner echelons. This was a retreat arranged by the upper echelons of the Chain Gang for themselves, so that they could retreat at a critical moment.

But they didn't know that all of this was deliberately arranged by Molan, and even the technology and supplies had their secret help. Now everything, including the nearby airship factory and the airship, have been taken over by their people, which makes their evacuation plan more convenient and sufficient.

"It will take at least an hour for the pursuers to arrive. We have set up a simple blocking position below. No matter how hard they chase, they will not be able to catch up with us." A director said.

"Once we reach the land of chaos, the Molan Company will be able to rebuild there."

"Yes, the chaotic land will give it enough nutrients, and new black orchids will bloom there."

While these directors were looking into the future, in the operations meeting room of the Yangzhi City Police Bureau, the participants seemed to be in an uproar.

At this moment they also received the news. After all, there was no reason for them not to see such a large airship moving.

"How could you not notice such a huge airship? What are you doing?" someone accused loudly.

A government official wiped the sweat off his head with a handkerchief and said in defense: "We know that the Molan Company has a hot air balloon factory there, which is only used for sightseeing, but I never thought that there is actually an airship factory there..."

The place is far away and in the mountains, which is completely unrelated to Yangzhi City. Besides, the mountains are much more dangerous than the city. Who would have the time to go there to check?
"Commissioner Cao, what should we do now? The people we send over now simply can't catch up."

As this question was asked, all eyes in the room turned to Commissioner Cao. After all, he was the main person responsible for this matter.

Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice: "No need to chase."

"what?"

Commissioner Cao looked outside and slowly repeated, "No need to chase."

At the junction of the Great Wilderness and Zhangshan, people from the Molan Company began to gather towards the airship factory built by the Iron Chain Gang. They wanted to inflate the small airship inside, while waiting at the anchor outside for the two large airships to land.

"Manager Cui, what are you doing? Who are you messaging?" A company employee looked at the deputy security manager Cui Hong in surprise. At this time, he was sitting alone and sending messages with a radio.

Cui Hong answered casually: "Nothing, just sending a message to our colleagues in the chaotic land."

Seeing how relaxed he looked, the employee didn't suspect anything, because it would be useless even if he sent a telegram to Yangzhi City because the people there couldn't get there in time.

Looking at the huge monster gradually approaching in the sky, he couldn't help but feel excited. Riding such a vehicle to a chaotic place would be like a god descending.

At this moment, twenty kilometers away from them, on the circular railway tracks, there were fourteen 270mm large-caliber railway guns that had been driven here in advance, prepared for three days, and had their gun bases anchored.

The gun operators had already calibrated all the shooting parameters, and all the gun muzzles were aimed at the area where the people from Molan Company were currently located.

It took the army of Hangu City a year to build the railway here, but in the future, the railway will continue to be built until it connects to Yangzhi City, connecting Hangu City and Yangzhi City together from the land.

At this moment, after receiving the long-awaited telegram, the radio operator immediately notified the supreme commander in charge of this operation.

The officer wearing a wide-brimmed hat looked toward the mountains to the south, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice, "Pass my order, fire at the designated target!!"

"fire!"

"fire!"

"fire!"

"..."

As the order was passed down, fourteen railway guns let out earth-shaking roars. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the earth began to tremble. A large amount of gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the air.

After sending the telegram, Cui Hong leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it up, then handed a written telegram to the company employee beside him, "Go and give this telegram to the five directors."

The employee took it and was overjoyed. This was a rare opportunity for him to show his face in front of the five directors. He said gratefully, "Thank you, supervisor."

"Well, let's go."

Cui Hong slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, took off his hat representing the Molan Company, put on an old hat he carried with him, pinned a Dashun Republic of China hat badge on his chest, and looked up at the sky.

“The sky is so blue…”

The employee ran eagerly in the direction of the five directors, but he was quickly stopped by the Blood and Ink Guards. He could only wave the telegram in his hand and shouted, "Directors, this is a telegram from the Land of Chaos. Deputy Director Cui asked me to give it to you."

The five directors were immediately attracted by the word "Land of Chaos", but they were a little confused because they had not asked Cui Hong to handle this matter before, and this should also be the responsibility of the intelligence department.

There was a hint of vigilance and suspicion in their eyes, and they immediately sent someone to receive the message.

At the same time, they looked outside and saw that all the Blood Ink Guards were loyally guarding their side, which made them feel at ease. As long as these people were guarding, nothing would happen.

After the telegram was confirmed to be fine, it was brought over. One of the directors took it and saw that it said, "Agent Cui Hong of the Bureau of General Affairs, codenamed Lone Goose, sends his greetings to everyone and wishes you a pleasant journey."

The director's pupils shrank sharply, and a huge feeling of fear suddenly gripped his heart. But when he wanted to say something, at this moment, the shell that had been flying in the air for half a minute finally landed on this area!

boom!
Not only did these shells cover the entire area, but all the hydrogen stored in the airship factory also exploded, and a huge fireball rolled up into the sky!
The dull sound of the explosion spread to the city of Yangzhi, and everyone could hear it clearly. Even the windows were buzzing, and some dust was shaken off from above.

"Commissioner Cao?"

"Commissioner Cao, this is..."

Commissioner Cao did not explain anything. He just looked towards the north, reached out and silently took off his hat. Not only him, but all the staff of the General Affairs Bureau took off their hats.

Most people didn't understand, but some people reacted and looked solemn.

Half a minute later, Commissioner Cao put on his hat again, walked to the side, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice: "Order the team to speed up and eliminate all enemies in sight!"
