As the 20th Infantry Regiment of the Renaissance Front successfully entered the suburban station of Baidra and the surrounding areas, and completed the construction of several simple air defense positions, Colonel Balawi, who was hiding in the underground headquarters, breathed a sigh of relief and let the long-awaited The 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments came out of the city to replace the station garrison so that the 20th Infantry Regiment could continue its mission.

Everything is according to plan.

Next, it depends on whether the 20th Infantry Regiment, which is advancing along the dilapidated railway line, can successfully discover the construction nodes of the Star Group.

...

"What! Emergency evacuation?"

The head of the engineering unit who was standing on top of the track-laying train, holding on to the railings and supervising the railway restoration, pinched the temples of his gold-rimmed glasses, trying to make sure he had read correctly the words on the paper that were still exuding the scent of ink.

After a while, the person in charge raised his head and asked with some disbelief: "In a few hours, I will be able to see the suburbs of Baidra City with my own eyes from here! If we retreat at this time, the railway will not be repaired?"

"Mr. Thomas Hawkins, senior manager of the Group's Engineering Department, this is a direct order from Chairman Yang Tianyi and Military Chief Ramsay..."

The Z-1 robot responsible for delivering the order simply repeated the emergency evacuation order again, and took out a pen from the storage bag on the chest and handed it to the middle-aged man. It was obvious that he, the project leader, was needed to retreat. Sign the order.

"I have my own pen, I don't need you..."

Faced with the double pressure from Yang Tianyi and Ramsey on the order, Thomas refused the pen handed to him by the robot. Instead, he took off the pen pinned to his pocket from his chest, muttered and signed the signature. gained his own name.

"The evacuation work will begin immediately. The engineering camp here has been taken over by the Army Department of the Group. Please follow me to the shelter immediately."

I saw this Z-1 robot responsible for delivering confidential orders. Following the mechanical electronic sound, the head sensor that originally emitted green light gradually turned into blood red - it completed the general procedure to combat in just a few seconds. The replacement of the program has turned it into an out-and-out killing machine.

Although he knew that robots did not have the so-called momentum, Thomas seemed to feel a murderous aura coming from the robot in front of him, which made him shudder involuntarily, nodded repeatedly, wrapped himself in work clothes tightly, and followed the steel man. The soldiers went to board a special car transporting senior managers.

When the special car full of managers was speeding on the narrow road with no end in sight, Thomas suddenly heard a harsh whistling sound coming from the window.

Glancing at his sleeping colleague next to him, Thomas thoughtfully helped him put on his crooked headphones to prevent him from being woken up by the whistling outside the window.

After all, not everyone can work as hard as him for two days and one night without sleep, so let them all have a good sleep by taking the opportunity of an emergency retreat.

The corner of Thomas's mouth curled up slightly. The fulfilling life after joining the Stars Group reminded him of when he was a young student, drawing drawings and making construction plans with a group of motivated and passionate young people, and sometimes even doing ashes personally. of......

But what makes so much noise?

With curiosity that had not been wiped away by life experience, Thomas glanced out the window and could no longer look away.

So powerful, so beautiful, the black streamlined armored carriage that zooms in quickly within sight is filled with a sense of power that is difficult to describe in words.

Unfortunately, in just a few seconds, more than a dozen carriages completely drove away from Thomas' sight with the whistling wind. Even if he tried his best to look back from the window, it was difficult to appreciate the full view of the train.

"Oh, it's all your fault!"

After Thomas sighed inaudibly, he suddenly complained about the innocent sleeping colleague beside him. Before he could put his idea of ​​waking this guy up into action, Thomas suddenly looked back at the armored train that was traveling in the opposite direction to his own.

The Renaissance Front has plans for the railway!

...

"Damn it, why is there still no picture? Release another batch of drones!"

At this time, the commander of the 20th Infantry Regiment of the Renaissance Front had no idea that he had been targeted by a terrifying dragon that chose people to eat. He was busy reprimanding several drone operators around him, shouting orders to them. The drones must be restored to operation as soon as possible, otherwise all the soldiers of the 20th Infantry Regiment and he himself will not accept and fight like blind men.

"Captain, the ones just now are our last batch of drones..."

"What?! Didn't I tell you to save some of it!"

"..."

As all the drone operators fell silent, the staff officer on the side saw that the commander's anger had subsided, and he quickly whispered in his ear: "Stop blaming the boys, the electromagnetic interference of the Star Group is too serious, and it can't interact with friendly forces." It’s a blessing to be able to stay in touch, no matter how many drones there are, it’s useless.”

Just when the regiment leader was scratching his head in depression and thinking about countermeasures, the scout brought him good news and bad news.

The good news is that they found the engineering camp of the Star Group, not far ahead. There are many valuable large-scale engineering equipment and complete barracks in the camp waiting for the 20th Infantry Regiment to receive it.

The bad news is that there is no one in the camp, so they must have discovered their presence and evacuated them urgently.

"Haha, I knew that these cowards of the Star Group would only use money to do things. It is impossible for them to risk their lives to carry out orders! Leaving this railway that is about to be repaired is the best proof!"

After a passionate speech, seeing that no one in the field tent showed any intention of applauding, the regiment leader coughed awkwardly twice and then waved his hand and ordered the entire 20th Infantry Regiment to attack.

They will occupy the engineering camp and quickly plant explosives to completely destroy the core of the entire railway repair project - the track-laying train and a pile of engineering equipment.

While detonating the explosives, the 3rd and 4th Heavy Infantry Regiments holding the formation at the rear will also conduct long-range fire strikes on the several-kilometer-long railway section according to the coordinates provided by the 20th Infantry Regiment.

Compared with their opponents, the configuration specially enhanced by Colonel Balawi is not luxurious, but the ability to pour 1,600 rockets on a fixed target within half a minute is already within the reach of a regional warlord force. It's the limit.

With excited hearts and trembling hands, the 20th Infantry Regiment moves forward!

Every soldier of the 20th Infantry Regiment marched slowly and confidently on the flat fields carrying their outdated weapons. A limited number of trucks carried all their heavy weapons-some small-caliber vehicle-mounted machine guns and Recoilless rifle.

In normal times, even the most reckless commander would not allow his troops to march in such an open environment without cover. But to the surprise of many, this was the order personally issued by Colonel Balawi.

He wanted to use the lives of more than 2,000 people in the 20th Infantry Regiment as bait to draw out the back-up force of the Star Group. In other words, Balawi did not believe that the Stars Group would completely abandon the railway from the beginning, and was willing to be driven back to Dehloran by a bunch of rabble.

They must have some back-up plan waiting for them!

As for the two Stars Mechanized Brigades that were still standing still, Balawi was not worried about their existence.

If the two brigades of the Stars Group came to encircle and suppress the 20th Infantry Regiment, then this move would be exactly what he wanted - the rocket launcher vehicles and the thousands of rockets carried by the army did not necessarily have to be used to bomb the railway.

It is a rare opportunity to compete with opponents in terms of firepower delivery ability, and Balawi will not give up this opportunity. Even if the three regiments were completely killed and maimed, as long as they could delay the Star Group from marching towards Baidra, it would all be worth it.

"With the exception of the 20th Infantry Regiment, the 3rd and 4th Heavy Regiments have entered radio silence."

Balawi looked at the map, almost holding a stopwatch, and gave the order for the troops to enter radio silence. Although he knew that this ancient trick could not hide from satellites and drones in the sky, he would try to seize any opportunity that could reduce the exposure of his troops.

Balawi, who has fought guerrilla warfare for several years, has always believed that success or failure is determined by details, and advantages on the battlefield are accumulated bit by bit.

Only a few minutes after the 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments entered radio silence, the "Dark Goddess", the first and most powerful armored train built by the Star Group, was finally swept away by a hurricane full of destruction. Entering the security range of the 20th Infantry Regiment of the Renaissance Front.

In order to start a bloody storm that could shock the world, the central command car equipped with the Night Goddess, the two front and rear energy cars and the eight arsenal cars, a total of eleven cars, were all operated at full power.

Ames, who was far away in New Baghdad, had also been waiting in front of the screen early, with his mouth wide open as he watched this peerless beauty in heavy armor slowly lift up her skirt, revealing the forest of gun barrels underneath.

"Is this... an armored train?"
