C3178 Hunting Blanqui. (2/2)

Blanqui and the others rented a few horse carriages at the small station, and then quickly headed towards their secret stronghold.

Blanqui was really lucky, he had made the right bet. Just as they got off the car, the train station in the southern part of Mantnon Town was suddenly surrounded by 300 to 400 French soldiers.

The war horses whinnied, and the knights rushed into the station with guns in their hands. As soon as the stevedores, coal miners and road guards saw that the situation was not good, they immediately took out their guns from their overalls and opened fire.

The cavalrymen charged in front, the infantry fired at the front, more than four hundred French soldiers surrounded the small station, and soon, miserable cries rose one after another.

”Long live the commune! ”Long live the revolution …” The martyred workers shouted as they rushed forward with their explosives bag in their arms. Dozens of cavalrymen died on the spot in the midst of the rumbling explosion dust.

Unfortunately, the sacrifice of these Death Soldiers was not exchanged for the escape of the Comrades.

”Doggie!” A traitor! Why didn't I see you guys work so hard when I killed the Prussian? ”Ahh!” There were screams of agony mixed in with the curses.

”You all … You only know how to kill... His own people... All you know how to do is kill... ”Our own people …”

The officer with the cold face said coldly, ”Damn thugs, if it weren't for you, the emperor would have defeated the German long ago. You are the sinners of this nation!”

”Kill them all … ”Leave no one alive, prepare to intercept the train!”

After a short, fierce battle, all the progressive workers at Mantnon Station were slaughtered. A total of 52 lives!

Heavy soldiers were stationed at a small station as they waited for the arrival of the train. Time slowly passed, and finally, the sound of steam locomotives and lights came from the darkness of the north.

”It's here!” The train is here, ready to attack! ”

The train stopped on time on the platform. The French army charged up the train like a pack of wolves and tigers, scaring the scattered passengers into screaming.

”None... Not here either... ”No luggage trolleys or cargo holds were found either …”

”Damnable Blanqui, this old cunning fox actually ran away! ”Send the telegram right away …”

Thiers had expected that there would be a mistake in the intelligence report. The train station had immediately sent a telegram to all the military and local police stations, and soon enough, a huge net had been set up in the Erluval Province.

”Blanqui must have taken the carriage and taken a detour, immediately sealing off all the roads and paths, and will not stop until he is caught!”

Although Thiers had not officially taken power, many factions in France had already pledged their allegiance to him in advance. With the support of countless capitalists, Thiers could now issue orders to the local garrison forces and the police system.

As for those local guards and police officers, in order to curry favor with the future President, they would also wholeheartedly carry out his orders. With Blanqui, the big fish, escaping from the net, these people started to set up roadblocks right away.
