Chapter 492

~6 min read 1,014 words

Large chunks of mountain rock rolled down, like a thunderclap, crashing toward the port with a rumble!

Immediately after, another fierce barrage of firepower hit the cargo piled up in the port with extreme precision.

The cargo piled up in Manchester Port was mostly oil!

A single spark.

And the oil would explode with a roar!

As the first barrel of oil exploded with a bang!

Then the second, the third...

Countless barrels of oil, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, exploded into the most brilliant fireworks in the night sky!

The once orderly port was instantly turned upside down, and the sound of explosions echoed through the clouds!

Huge flames dyed the entire night sky orange-red...

The entire Northwest Shanxi—no, the Manchester Port—was in total chaos!

"Enemy attack!"

"It's an enemy attack!"

"Sound the alarm! It's a Dragon Country attack!"

"..."

Facing the sudden, massive explosion.

At this moment, all the soldiers on the pier felt their hearts jump violently, and countless people began to roar wildly on the pier.

After a brief chaos.

All the soldiers instantly perked up, immediately formed a defensive formation, and looked around frantically, trying to find the traces of the enemy!

However, apart from the explosions filling the sky and the rolling mountain rocks.

Everyone found nothing...

At this moment, an unknown fear spread silently in the heart of every soldier.

Where would the enemy strike from?

Where would they launch a sneak attack?

No one could say for sure!

For a time, the hearts of all the soldiers jumped to their throats.

This was a battlefield, not a child’s game.

If they were not careful, they probably wouldn't even know how they died!

At the same time.

Inside the military command post of the controlled pier.

Major General Joseph, the commander in charge of the port’s security, saw the terrifying scene outside that looked like the end of the world.

Naturally, he didn't dare to be negligent; he hurriedly calmed the soldiers' emotions in a few words, and after temporarily controlling the situation, he directly made a phone call to the command post of Commander-in-Chief Luoyueke.

"General! We are under enemy attack, and currently suffering heavy casualties! Requesting support!"

"What?"

On the other end of the phone, as soon as Luoyueke heard this news, his mind went blank, and he froze in place.

Above his head, a series of question marks slowly floated.

Manchester Terminal under enemy attack?

No?

This place is at the northernmost tip of the Desert Camel Country!

To attack here, those damn Dragon Country people would have had to cross his entire military control zone and evade the reconnaissance of all his troops!

What kind of joke is this!

At this moment, Luoyueke’s face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a hundred flies.

For these past days, he had been focusing his attention on the remaining four oil fields, but no one expected!

He had been outplayed by the Dragon Country commander again!

They had gone straight for the bottom of the pot and attacked his oil terminal!

Thinking of this, Luoyueke’s face became even uglier; when facing the Dragon Country commander, he didn't know why, but he always felt a sense of powerlessness...

Moreover, Manchester Port is the only oil port the Free State has now; if it is destroyed, the consequences are unimaginable.

Once an accident happens at Manchester Port, he would have to use the Saint Anlo Terminal!

But all the transport facilities at the Saint Anlo Port have been destroyed; wanting to reuse it, the time spent, the reduced oil—not to mention those!

Just the cost of building bridges and repairing roads could be called an astronomical figure!

Luoyueke didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly asked the other end of the phone.

"How many enemies are there, and where are they exactly?"

"What is the firepower situation?"

Luoyueke’s speaking speed was like a machine gun; Joseph on the other side was also slightly stunned.

He couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What’s wrong?" Luoyueke’s heart sank, and a thought that something big was wrong quietly surged into his heart.

"Report, sir!"

"The enemy is currently only using firepower suppression tactics; we don't know the exact number of the enemy, and we haven't grasped their specific location either!"

"But... but the enemy is coming fiercely, with great momentum! The firepower is extremely fierce!"

"I estimate... the enemy has at least one battalion, no! At least the strength of an integrated regiment!"

"..."

"A regiment?"

Hearing this reply, Luoyueke felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and his mind went blank instantly!

"Joseph! Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Manchester Port is our rear base, and you say you are facing at least a regiment of troops?"

"What kind of joke are you playing!"

Joseph on the other end of the phone was trembling, but he didn't dare to say another word.

Looking at the terrifying scene of explosions everywhere and the sky collapsing outside.

Joseph had originally wanted to report a brigade...

But he also felt it was too outrageous, which is why he reported a regiment.

After all, it couldn't be a seven-man team that could create such a big commotion...

Hmm...

Probably not, right...

On the other side, Luoyueke felt like he was going crazy.

The whole world knows that the Rabbit’s specialty is tactical infiltration.

But no matter how you infiltrate, you have to be somewhat reliable!

Infiltrating a few squads, infiltrating a few platoons.

Even infiltrating a company.

All are still within a barely acceptable range!

But who the hell does tactical infiltration with a regiment!

Don't be too ridiculous!

The most outrageous thing is that this place is the rear base of my Free State’s actual control area!

It’s at least hundreds of kilometers away from the front line!

How on earth did these people appear in such a critical position?

At this moment, Luoyueke’s heart also began to panic.

What should he do now?

Bomb them directly with missiles?

A carpet bombing?
