Chapter 433: Killing A Man From Miles Away
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Silence fell over the battlefield after Chen Fan was gone.
Countless men and women gaped at unthinkable development.
From the mangled shapes of over a hundred armored vehicles, the moaning soldiers lay across the battlefield, to the dead body of General Gromov, everything seemed almost surreal. Chen Fan had rammed straight through the army and made a b.l.o.o.d.y path for himself.
The blood-stained path looked like an ugly scar on the land. It started from a few kilometers outside of Smidovichsky, sliced right through the heart of the small city and disappeared at the end of the eastern horizon, pointed directly at the headquarters of the North Division at Khabarovsk.
The soldiers of the Infantry Division 116 had initially thought that this operation would be a stroll in the park. Most officers were convinced that one battalion of soldiers should be more than enough to deal with the criminal. Many pa.s.sengers, as well as Natasha, also thought that Chen Fan wouldn’t stand a chance: at the most, Chen Fan could only kite the flank of the army but not for long.
The journalist from the Global Mail was too busy capturing footage to ponder on what would become of this battle.
In the end, no one was right about the outcome.
Chen Fan simply marched onward despite the shower of bullets and sh.e.l.ls. He had penetrated straight through the deep ranks of Infantry Division 116 and left as if nothing had happened.
Even now, some soldiers still tried to wrap their heads around what had just happened.
“Gromov, General Gromov! This is Lieutenant General Vasily. How goes the battle? Are you sure the suspect is Chen Beixuan? The headquarters had ordered fire at will, and General Scherchen wanted the suspect dead. h.e.l.lo, General Gromov, are you there?”
The voice of a strategist from the North Division’s headquarters came through the intercom.
An a.s.sistant of Gromov picked up the intercom and pressed it close to his blood-smeared face. “Report… report to the headquarters… we are… defeated. General Major is unconscious if not dead. The suspect is gone.”
“What?”
The message had shocked the person at the other end.
The a.s.sistant also heard the panicked heavy breathing and chairs suddenly being knocked over through the intercom.
This was not his problem anymore, so the a.s.sistant slowly put down the intercom and gazed at the injured comrades all around him.
We are already… defeated?
“BaaDa!”
Everyone was startled when the news about Chen Fan’s appearance reached the headquarters of the North Division.
No one had never thought that the nightmare that had tormented them a year ago was finally becoming a reality.
The other generals were shocked and turned into a bundle of nerves.
When they heard about the defeat of the Infantry Division 116, the death of Gromov and Chen Fan’s impending retribution, a pin-drop silence fell over the office.
“Defeated? An entire Motorized Division was defeated?”
Before his words faded, an explosion erupted outside the window, and fire quickly engulfed the entrance of the Headquarters. Then the generals heard gunshots.
Meanwhile, inside the Headquarters, everyone’s face turned white.
“Chen Beixuan is here!”
No one had expected Chen Fan to arrive so soon, and their defense was far from ready.
