Under Naxin's adamant orders, several squads of the Madheh Army really withstood the pressure and, after losing a few pick-up trucks, managed to reach the edge of the oil field work area.
Soon they encountered the problem that Song Heping had anticipated, the roads within the oil area were difficult to navigate, with many roads blocked by old equipment or directly blown up and rendered impassable.
These destructions were previously carried out by various armed organizations in the northern region, specifically to prevent the US Army and the Temporary Management Committee from sending workers to take over the oil fields and resume production.
The most ironic part was that many of the roads and askew equipment in the oil area were actually destroyed by the Madheh Army themselves.
This fulfilled the old saying, "You reap what you sow."
