After communicating with Chikov and Pavel, Lu Qishan finally received confirmation from the higher-ups that they were going to accept the new comrades-in-arms. Accompanied by a Russian translator, they talked about the current situation of the foreign enclave. This time, Chikov and Pavel were the vanguard. Angor and Pavel were the vanguard while the tribes he gathered in Vladivostok took shelter in the fortifications on Russian Island. Together with the Russian garrison in Vladivostok, they were going to defend against the enemies that came from the sky. This was an emergency. If there was no other way, Wilichko would not leave his troops behind and go to Yin Mongolia with his trusted subordinates and personal guards to look for reinforcements.
"What General Wilichko said before was too vague. He asked for reinforcements and rations the moment he arrived. We still don't know what exactly happened over there. Since you're Brother Cockroach's men, you're naturally on our side. Please tell me the whole story in detail so that we can respond accordingly. Also, what did Captain Chikov say to General Wilichko?
Why is our communication blocked? "
Wilichko and his guards were punishing a pilot. Lu Qishan, who did not understand what was going on, had to ask the bearded pilot for help. Chikov, who used to be a soldier, was not very polite to Lu Qishan, a lieutenant colonel. He smoked the low-quality cigarette Lu Qishan gave him, showed his yellow teeth, and explained a lot. Pavel, who was standing beside him, added to Chikov's explanation from time to time. The young Russian translator, on the other hand, was a little overwhelmed and stammered out the whole story.
Vladivostok had always been in a semi-closed state. They did not get in touch with Yin Meng. They only knew that Zhang Xiao Qiang's forces were in this area. When Zhang Xiao Qiang helped them reclaim Vladivostok, he mentioned that he had several cities. Most people did not believe him, including the Russians who joined Longhua Island later. However, with Angor, the experienced and prudent former leader of a small faction, and Xue Jianshan, as the head of Longhua Island's security group, Zhang Xiao Qiang's authority gradually increased, the Russians accepted the fact that their leader was a Chinese. Angor did not take any power, so he and a few others developed Zhang Xiao Qiang's overseas enclave quite well. As for the more than 200 Chinese captives from the New Era army, after completing the defense construction, they officially joined the security group. With An Xiaohui's 12 burly men with mutant fish scale armor as a threat, no one dared to cause trouble.
Just last month, Longhua Island had grown to more than 1,500 people. They cultivated more than 4,000 acres of potato fields, and they also had plenty of anti-aircraft firepower and heavy naval cannons. Longhua Island had no fear of zombies, and there was plenty of food. The death rate of newborns was also greatly reduced, so the population did not decrease even without the help of foreign survivors. Furthermore, Vladivostok, on the other side of the sea, was gradually pushed inland by Wilichko's naval cannons and fortresses. They basically wiped out the zombies in the towns near Vladivostok and rescued a large number of survivors who were scattered in the mountains. Gradually, Vladivostok became the only government within a radius of several hundred kilometers around Vladivostok, which gave Wilichko real power.
Originally, the sea was the protective umbrella of Longhua Island. As long as one did not provoke them, there was no need to worry about the Mutant Beasts coming ashore. However, in a single night, an uncountable number of Mutant Beasts appeared along the coastline of Longhua Island and Vladivostok. These Mutant Beasts were either huge in size or in uncountable numbers. When they came ashore, the Pacific Ocean Naval Base in Vladivostok collapsed overnight. Hundreds of soldiers were killed, and the city was quickly taken over by the Mutant Beasts. The panicking Welichko could not react in time, and in the end, more than half of the city was taken over by the Mutant Beasts.
Compared to Welichko, which had its coastal cannons removed, Longhua Island was in a much better position. Zhang Xiao Qiang's initial target of defense was the sea creatures. 10 AK-176 cannons and 10 AK-630 multi-barrelled cannons were the greatest guarantee of safety. There was also a 40 ton AK-100MM cannon installed at the highest point, its 220 degree angle was enough to cover half of Longhua Island's firing range. Furthermore, it could fire 30-50 rounds per minute, making it a true god of death. Furthermore, Longhua Island had a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, to the point where there were more weapons than people. When the ferocious Mutant Sea Beasts came ashore, a third of the beachhead troops were instantly wiped out. The rest were quickly disintegrated in the storm of metal that followed. Even if they mobilized the huge Mutant Sea Beasts, it was still not enough. With the high firing rate of 50 rounds per minute, not to mention Mutant Beasts, even a solid mountain would be flattened.
Even the sea beasts were intelligent. Longhua Island had suffered heavy losses, while Vladivostok was a victory parade. The first wave of sea beasts gave up on Longhua Island and rushed to Vladivostok, allowing the people on Longhua Island to reap a feast of thousands of tons of seafood. However, as more and more mutant creatures appeared along the coastline, most of Longhua Island was occupied by sea beasts. Only the narrow space around the fortress did not allow the sea beasts to approach. Even so, there were still exchanges of fire every day. Every day, sea beasts would be blasted into pieces by machine gun fire. Everyone knew that ammunition was not unlimited, and the day they ran out of ammunition, the island would become a haven for mutant beasts.
Under such circumstances, Wilickko and Angor, who had retreated to a corner, reached a consensus and sent someone to ask for help from Zhang Xiao Qiang. One of the giant airships that crashed on the island during the New Era had been almost fully repaired. There was also an industrial helium processing plant in Vladivostok, so they had the most effective means of transportation. Even if there was only one airship, it could still transport nearly two hundred people at a time. Plus the weapons and supplies they carried, under the escort of three helicopters, they passed through several provincial capitals and finally arrived at Ordos.
"Captain Chikov said that if Zhang Xiaoqiang can't find a way, they'll abandon Longhua Island and retreat to the permanent underground fortification in Vladivostok. But I don't know how long they can hold out. All the survivors in Vladivostok are busy dismantling the ship's cannons and installing them on the mountaintop. But since the warehouse of the naval base is already occupied by mutant beasts, they can't get any more ammunition. Maybe they'll run out of ammunition just like Longhua Island.
Seeing that Lu Qishan had understood what he meant, Chikov smiled and continued speaking. The translator perked up and clearly conveyed Chikov's words without missing a word. Lu Qishan frowned. "Captain Chikov said that there's a traitor among General Wilickko's subordinates. Just now, he discovered that someone had activated the electromagnetic isolation device hidden in the helicopter and cut off all communications around us. At the same time, it also caused them to lose contact with the ground. If Division Commander Lu wasn't cautious and didn't use anti-aircraft missiles, they might have all been shot down by their own people. That's why he warned Lieutenant General Wilickko …"
It was all a coincidence. Lu Qishan's back was drenched in cold sweat. He wondered if he had paid too much attention to the zombies and neglected the air defense. To them, the New Era was just a legend. They had never seen the New Era's air force before. It seemed like they were already on their minds. Although he didn't know why Wilichko's pilot was willing to risk his life to cut off communications, it could be said that the New Era was preparing to take action against them.
"Also, Captain Chikov asked us about Zhang Xiaoqiang's whereabouts. How should I answer him?"
The translator couldn't make up his mind and turned to look at Lu Qishan. He saw that Lu Qishan seemed to be in a daze. He asked a few more questions to wake Lu Qishan up. Lu Qishan smiled at Chikov and Pavel. He extended his hand and said, "There's no hurry. We'll have to wait for Minister Zhao and Minister Shi to make a decision. But we can eat first. We'll wait for the news after we eat …"
