The army train that set out from Heiyan City carried all the equipment and personnel of the iron-blooded battalion of the 39th Division, and after nearly two days of galloping, until the morning of the third day, it finally arrived in the Karur area.
Zhang Tie was woken up in his sleep, since he got on the train, Zhang Tie has been asleep, and after waking up, he fought with a bunch of beasts in the fruit of the soul calamity, or visualized two abacus to practice the bead mind calculation, compared with those fragrant cute girls, it was really boring enough to sit on the train with a bunch of stinky old men.
The soldiers were smoking cigarettes and playing cards in the carriage, the violent maniacs who wanted to make a breakthrough in the Iron Blood God Fist were practicing in the carriage one by one without saying a word, and more veterans were mostly closing their eyes and recuperating, or quietly wiping and polishing their weapons.
Final preparations are being made for the coming big war.
During the course of the day and night, the train stopped once or three at only a few small stops along the way to replenish coal and water, and each time it lasted only an hour, and the soldiers and officers on board, under strict discipline, did not step out of the carriage.
The carriages in which the soldiers were in were full of smoke and miasma, and the carriages in which the officers were in were so stuffy that they couldn't let out a single fart.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Tie came to his sleeper car, fell down and slept in the dark, almost never out except for eating.
"Wake up, Second Lieutenant Zhang Tie, we have arrived at Karul" Zhang Tie, who was sleeping on the bed and dreaming, was directly woken up by a second lieutenant officer sleeping on his upper bunk, Zhang Tie opened his eyes and found that the train had stopped, and there was a lot of people outside, looking out of the window of the train, the sky outside was just about to light up, and the whole station was full of shaking people in dark red military uniforms, as well as the mountains of supplies.
Zhang Tie got up from the bed, quickly put on his clothes and shoes, tidied up his appearance a little, and came to the dining room of the carriage, which is now the temporary conference room of the Iron Blood Camp.
When Zhang Tie came to the restaurant, an officer with the rank of lieutenant, but not the Iron Battalion, had just left the carriage next to the restaurant in a hurry.
The next minute, the first military meeting of the Iron Battalion to Karol took place in the dining room car of the train.
A map of the Karur region had been hung on the wall of the restaurant, and in the center of the map was a city, and the north and south sides of the whole city had been occupied by large blue or red markers, and in the middle of the red and blue plates, there was a large gray area, which had just surrounded the city of Karur, and Major Guderian was holding a command pen and introducing the situation in the area around Karur in very concise language.
"Now we and the troops of the Feather of Radiance are concentrated in a vast area fifty kilometers away from Karur, Karur is now neutral, south of Karur, the blue area on the map is the Feather of Radiance, and on the north side of the map, this red area is our Iron Horn Legion, the station where we are now, the distance from Karur is still eighty-seven kilometers, it is here" Major Guderian's command pen pointed at the location of a small town called Karridge at the front of the red area of the map.
"This narrow gray area around the city of Karur on the map, about 75 kilometers in length and 124 kilometers in width, is the mountainous area around Karur, and it is also the place where we and the Feather of Radiance have the most friction, and now this area is entangled with many forces on both sides, and many encounters are taking place every day, and just now there has been an order from the legion headquarters that we must rush here and take this place, we originally had a battalion of troops here, but before nightfall yesterday, This unit has lost contact with its superiors, and normally, this means that our brothers in that battalion are now more than lucky" Guderian's command pen pulled a straight line from Carridge and went straight into a place called Sorane in that gray area, and the contour line on the military map made it clear to everyone that the place called Sorane seemed to be a village built on the mountainside.
Guderian's command pen drew lines and circles in several places on the map, making it clear in the fastest language what to do next.
"Our first task is to retake this place, and at least to persist in this complex area of more than 100 kilometers for two weeks, clear the three strongholds known to the enemy, in these two weeks, we have to deal the biggest blow to the forces of the Sun God Dynasty in this area, in this mission we can only consume the supplies we brought, we can not get any backup, in fourteen days, we will return to the Iron Horn Legion near the city of Karur to rest" Speaking of which, Major Guderian put away his command pen, "Do you have anything else to ask about this combat mission?"
Everyone shook their heads, only Zhang Tie, who participated in the big war for the first time, felt a little nervous in his heart, but he didn't expect that when he first arrived in Karur, he didn't have time to drink a sip of water, and the intense combat mission was sent down, not giving people a little buffer time at all.
"Okay, the battle map will be sent to each company later, if there is no problem, everyone has five minutes to prepare, and then get off the car, assemble the team and we will go" All the officers roared to their feet, and then each went to the company below to convey the battle order.
In those five minutes of preparation, Zhang Tie put on for the first time the Norman Empire's B-shaped lieutenant's light armor that he had brought with him, a set of light armor that could wrap most of the vital and important joints of a person's body in alloy armor.
In addition to wearing this armor and the same things and supplies that other officers were equipped with, Zhang Tie also carried a javelin equipment of more than 100 kilograms on his back, and he also held the "man's certificate" in his hand.
Not only the officers, but also the soldiers below completed all the pre-battle preparations in these five minutes.
At this time, the combat efficiency of the Iron Blood Battalion was revealed, from the first ready soldier receiving the order to open the train carriage door and jump down, to the last thousand troops quietly completing the pre-battle assembly at the railway station, all of this was completed in two minutes.
At this time, the iron-blooded battalion that had completed the pre-war assembly, like a fierce beast, finally revealed his murderous nature, everyone had swords and guns in hand, and the armor was on their bodies, and everyone began to be silent, but the heavy murderous aura was churning on his body.
"Ah, the Iron Battalion, our Iron Battalion is coming" When the Iron Battalion assembled at the station, the Norman soldiers and officers in the station couldn't help but look at this murderous army that was being assembled.
"Which division is it from?"
"I heard that it is the iron-blooded battalion of the 39th Division" "Ah, is it the Iron Battalion led by that madman Reinhardt?"
someone exclaimed.
"Great, Reinhardt's iron-blooded camp will definitely teach those dog mongrels of the Helios Dynasty a hard lesson," one of them became excited.
Listening to the discussions around him, Zhang Tie knew that Boss Reinhardt seemed to be very famous in the entire Iron Horn Legion.
"Who's that guy with a big scary guy in his hand and a bunch of heavy javelins on his back?"
"I don't know, it looks amazing."
Zhang Tie didn't expect that even standing in the team would attract the attention of many people.
However, Zhang Tie, who participated in the war for the first time, only felt a little nervous in his heart at the moment, and he didn't mean to show off at all.
"Go" With a roar from Boss Reinhardt, the brothers of the Iron Blood Battalion began to take a step and trotted out of the station.
As soon as he ran out of the station, Zhang Tie understood why the Iron Blood Battalion was ordered to go to Sorane on foot this time, in this town where they got off, at the forefront of the friction zone between the two sides, almost half of the buildings had been destroyed in the war, there were broken everywhere, there were buildings that were burned to a mess everywhere, the roads were very badly damaged, those steam armored vehicles that could only exert their greatest power in the plain terrain and group charges, in the terrain like Karur, which was mostly surrounded by mountains, There is not much use at all.
The town was full of Norman soldiers in dark red uniforms, and it didn't seem very special to the more than a thousand people who suddenly rushed out of the station.
After the Iron Blood Battalion trotted out of the station, within a few minutes, they ran out of the confines of the town and began to enter the field.
Solane is at least twenty-five kilometers away.
It was only at this time that Zhang Tie felt that it was a very stupid thing for him to come out with a heavy sword as a main battle weapon, the heavy sword on his body plus the standard bag on his back, and some miscellaneous things, Zhang Tie's whole weight had exceeded half a ton, carrying half a ton of things to run twenty-five kilometers, and he had to participate in a battle, such strength, even if Zhang Tie already had more strength of nine wolves, but he still felt a little difficult, after all, weight bearing is not the strength of wild wolves.
At this time, Zhang Tie could only grit his teeth and cheer himself up.
Before the party entered the mountains, a cavalryman riding an ironhorn came galloping from behind, and after handing a metal cylinder with orders on his back to the commander of the Reinhardt battalion at the front of the group, he sped away.
"According to the report of the brothers of the scout battalion, the mongrels of the Sun God Dynasty have cut off the heads of all the brothers of our battalion in Sorane and piled them on the wheat field, not a single one is alive, not even the wounded and prisoners are spared, the latest order from the legion headquarters is also the latest mission given to our Iron Blood Battalion, let us kill all the mongrels of the Sun God Dynasty who have now occupied Sorane, and we can't let one go" Commander Reinhardt shouted murderously.
"Kill them all" "Kill them all" Everyone in the Iron Blood Camp boiled:
