“I know that you are not soldiers, and I know that a group of people in the 1st Army Reserve and II Corps are training in the driving of steam trucks, but the time is not waiting for people.”The iron axe glanced at the crowd, “Since you are the first drivers who passed the examination and achieved excellent results, you are good enough to shoulder this task.”

“The task is very simple,” he said, walking up to the map on his desk, moving a piece from the morning to a black line in the east of Woo Xin’s, “it’s about 150 kilometers from the central level, and you just have to transport the people and supplies in the car here, and then bring them back when they’re done.”The stay is about half an hour, and with any luck you won't even meet the enemy."

At this point, the iron axe stopped.

There was also a disturbance in the crowd.

After all, the other meaning of this sentence is that when they are unlucky, they will encounter the devil.

After waiting for a moment, the commander-in-chief then said, "Of course, the first army is still to take on the task of combat, you just have to focus on driving."A total of ten vehicles arrived in Cageshan, and according to the plan, four to five trucks were able to achieve the purpose of combat, so it was in accordance with the practice of the Office of Administration, the recruitment method to select the departures.

"For each round-trip front-line delivery task, the team will receive an additional award of three times the salary, which is paid by the First Army and has nothing to do with the remuneration issued by the Executive Office."Then ... please take a step forward now if you are willing to do so.”

Farina took the steps without hesitation.

To her surprise, all the teams chose to do the right thing, and the only difference was the speed of making a decision.

She herself had the purpose of coming to the front to see the devil, and she had served in the trial army, which had long been common to embark on the battlefield, but everyone else was different - aside from the identity of the pilot, they were mostly free people in Winterfell.

What allowed them to make this decision was undoubtedly the full confidence of the First Army.

The iron axe quickly singled out five groups in order, and the second group in which Farina was located was also in it.

"They have given it to you," said the commander-in-chief, looking to Vanner, "and tomorrow morning the battle will officially begin!"

...

"I always feel a little uneasy."After all the drivers left the command hall, Agratha whispered, "The number of departures is not large, but the whole army needs to work closely together, and there are ordinary people inside, and the practice time is less than one day, such an arrangement is too urgent."

She now understands what the so-called "speed" of the North Pearl means, and from the point of view of the plan alone, the program is indeed extremely feasible.

The simple hardened road that was previously repaired for migration has now become the basis for the counterattack.Even if its width, thickness and construction quality are not as good as arterial engineering, it is still much better than gravel roads or dirt roads.In the case of further restrictions on load, the vehicle can not run.

In the distance of two hundred kilometers back and forth, the average speed of the Rubik's Cube steam truck is much higher than that of any cavalry - the latter even if it is at all horsepower and double riding, it takes two days, and it takes six to eight hours for the truck to run the full course, not to mention the heavy equipment that the counterattack team can carry.

The only problem is that it not only covers the first service, but also introduces non-combatants, and it is difficult to speculate about what unexpected conditions will be encountered.

“This battle did have some unexpected factors, but it is almost insignificant compared to the gains.”Edith said frankly, "The devil may at any time rearrange the fortress-type teratite, and instead of waiting for the time, it is better to grasp the present."

"I don't think the enemy would have expected that less than a day after mankind lost the sinkhole, they would launch a counterattack against them."The most likely result of failure is to return to failure, and success can make the devil's next steps frustrated, and it is self-evident how to choose.Moreover, the war itself is full of surprises, and sometimes seemingly well-conceived plans can be destroyed in a small coincidence.”At this point, she smiled, "So... pray that the god of luck is on our side."

...

At seven o'clock in the morning, the wind and snow.

Under the gray sky, five steam trucks lined up in a long line, slowly exiting the quiet camp and heading east.

And the appearance of the goods is different, the back of the car is equipped with gray tarpaulin, far away like a moving snow pile.Three of the trucks also had 152 mm fort guns in the tail, and the long black cannon was integrated with the ruts, and only close could we notice the cold light reflected in the hydraulic discharge.

Two hours later, twenty-five oil-filled biplanes took off and landed from the thorn town and rushed to the scheduled battlefield under the leadership of the Seagull.Unlike peacetime operations, the Order did not choose to distinguish the lower altitudes of the orientations, but played straight into the sky at the beginning and flew in the cracks of the clouds.

This means that they will lose most of their field of view, except for the needle, the only way to guide them is the looming body of the seagull.Once left behind, it is almost impossible to find the aircraft group again, in order to avoid getting lost, everyone played a twelve-point spirit, in addition to the roar of the engine, there is no conversation in the cabin.

At the same time, lightning and Maisie appeared in the battlefield airspace, and the detection of potential detection demons was checked.

The operation began two hours and fifteen minutes, with the first accident appearing in the convoy.Due to the quality of the road surface, the No. 4 group broke down during the pit.After a simple transfer, the convoy was back on the road, leaving only the faulty team personnel to carry out their own maintenance.

Half an hour later, the empty knight also appeared in an accident, the two planes in the leap over a overlapping cloud and lost the front plane, can only be in accordance with the provisions of the pre-departure direction to return home alone.On the way back, they were not allowed to leave the clouds.

Fortunately, everything went well.

At three hours and six minutes, the steam truck team arrived at its destination first.

“Oh my God, Farina...” Joe leaned forward and murmured in a low voice.

"Ah, I see."Farina stopped the car steadily and stared at the side of the cab as if it were as deep as water—through the windshield, a white-bone-like scaffold stood on a mountain in the distance, which at first glance appeared to be only a third the size of her fingertips, but given its distance, she could entirely imagine what an amazing behemoth it was.

And around the white bone, filled with bright red fog, almost covered the entire mountain, and the surrounding snow scene in stark contrast.

It is not a human being.

Just looking at it, you can feel the cold chill rising in your heart.

Farina clasped the steering wheel involuntarily.

There is no doubt that the devil has come into the world.
