In the afternoon, before the sun set, the huge airship landed at an airship landing base near the foot of Helan Mountain in Huanzhou.
This airship take-off and landing base is very large. It is one of the largest airship bases east of Helan Mountain and is also an important logistics base in the war zone. How big is this airship take-off and landing base? The entire base is 400 to 500 kilometers long and more than 300 kilometers wide. kilometers, the entire base is larger than a Class A city. Viewed from the sky, the entire airship base is a small plain east of Helan Mountain. Within thousands of kilometers here, there is a barren and flat sandstone land, with some low shrubs growing sporadically on the sandstone land. thorns.
After the Demon Clan's soldiers invaded Taixia, a 500,000-strong professional engineer corps stationed in Huanzhou arrived here. It only took two months to transform the place according to the characteristics of the topography. It became a huge airship logistics base.
Currently relying on this airship base for supplies, there are seven field corps with a total number of more than 3 million within an area of one million square kilometers.
As Zhang Tie's airship landed, the giant transport airships following the airship also began to land in batches all over the base under the guidance of ground light signals. The planes that flew together also began to land in batches. One after another, they landed at the airports surrounding this base...
The spacecraft landed, but before the hatch was opened, a gust of wind blew. Flags in the base were flying, weathercocks were hunting, and dust was billowing on the roughly flat sandstone ground. In the blink of an eye, everything around was enveloped in gray-yellow wind and sand. Inside…
The flying sand quickly passed through the open space around the flying boat. The fine sand and dust hit the helmets and armor of the surrounding generals like running water. The sound was like a sword sliding on a grindstone, carrying a killing blow. with Sound of Metal.
Several airships that were landing not far away were affected by the strong wind. Their center of gravity was unstable and their trajectory was slightly offset. This caused a bunch of ground staff on the ground to rush into the wind and sand without hesitation. An officer's rough voice It came from the wind and sand. "...Quick...anchor position No. 3...start the steam winch and secure the airship's anchor rope..."
In the wind and sand, the hatch of the flying boat opened, and Zhang Tie, dressed in white, walked out of the hatch.
"I'll see you later General!"
The generals in armor saluted with fists in their hands. There was a clanging sound of armor leaves rubbing against each other all around.
"Generals, you don't need to be polite!" Zhang Tie returned the salute, turned around and squinted at the windy sand in the sky, and sighed, "This is one of the wind vents in Helan Mountain, so the airship base was chosen here. It can be considered as adapting to local conditions. Use the fastest speed to put this base into use, but the sergeants stationed there will be a little miserable... "
"As a Taixia soldier, it is normal for him to die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather, so the pain of the wind and sand is nothing!" Fang Hui looked at Zhang Tie and grinned, "As long as the general can bring something to our men this time, A good thing that can kill demons, the soldiers stationed here, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it... "
Among the surrounding legion commanders, there was not only Fang Hui, but also Peng Yulin. These are two friends Zhang Tie has known for a long time in Xiangshan City. In addition to the two of them, there are five black iron knights standing at the front wearing legion commander's armor. When Zhang Tie arrives this time, The commanders of the seven Taixia field armies near this base all came.
The seven legion commanders stood at the front, and behind the seven legion commanders, there were senior generals from each legion who followed the seven legion commanders. In total, there were hundreds of people. Looking around. There was armor all around.
Fang Hui and Peng Yulin were friends Zhang Tie met in Xiangshan City last year. Together they killed the demons and later escorted the Wuzhou Army stationed in Xiangshan City back together. There were no dangers along the way.
Fang Hui and Zhang Tie were talking. He also introduced Zhang Tie to the several legion commanders around him. Zhang Tie also introduced Lu Yanyu and several key officials from Sinongtang behind him to the legion commanders, and everyone became familiar with them.
When Zhang Tie came this time, he brought with him the first batch of candle oil weapons produced by the rear. At the same time, on the way here, Zhang Tie also inspected the weapons for more than half a year. Zhang Tie was very satisfied with the construction of airports in various states and counties, the production of aircraft, and the training of pilots. Zhang Tie was very satisfied with the results of the inspection. Not to mention the production of candle oil in the past six months, the bumper grain harvest was the most important. Good guarantee, other aircraft production, candle oil weapons production, pilot training, and the establishment of airports in various places - these are the things that Zhang Tie attaches most importance to, everything is on track, and the results are gratifying.
"Lao Fang, we are acquaintances, so don't be polite to me. Since everyone is waiting, I won't talk nonsense. Let's find a place now and let everyone see what I have to offer this time. What things have everyone brought, and then let everyone see how to use these things, and then each legion commander can take away the equipment of each legion first. These things will be equipped with the troops as soon as possible, and the soldiers below will face the demons. It will also give me a little more confidence if I go one day earlier..."
"Haha, that's refreshing..." Fang Hui burst into laughter and glanced at the other six legion commanders around him, "How is it?"
"Hahaha, we have benefited from Lao Fang and Yu Lin this time. We are the first batch to be equipped with candle oil weapons. In the past six months, I have heard that candle oil weapons are extremely powerful, but I heard that only young men from the Fourth Army Some front-line troops and special forces have deployed a small amount of them in the past six months, and everyone treats them as treasures. Most of the troops in the theater have not had the opportunity to equip them. Many of them have never even seen them. I have long wanted to see them. Got it!" A knight with a beard said cheerfully.
As soon as Zhang Tie opened his mouth, he was straightforward and straight to the point, which really appealed to these legion commanders, and everyone suddenly became interested.
"Well, there is a training ground not far away. It is usually used for training by the base's guard regiment. Let's go there to see how powerful these candle oil weapons are!" Another regiment commander suggested. Everyone nodded, so the group started They came directly to a school field not far from where Zhang Tiefei's boat descended. Although the generals of the various legions had not had a chance to speak just now, at this time, everyone wanted to see the power of candle oil weapons, so they all followed.
The school ground is located on an undulating hillside. The undulating hillside covers an area of several square kilometers. Because the terrain is not smooth enough, some hillsides and ravines cannot allow airships to take off and land. To fill it up would require too much work. This The place was left as a training ground for the airship base guard corps. It is used for the training of the base soldiers stationed here on weekdays. Looking around, there are many training facilities on the entire training ground - various obstacles, trenches, pools, There are muddy areas, high slopes, etc., which are really good for training.
When Zhang Tie and the others arrived, the strong wind slowly stopped. There was still some wind and sand on the training ground, but it gradually became smaller. There were many Chinese soldiers crawling around on the training ground. While training, the roars and screams of the Chinese warriors were everywhere. On a hillside, there were tens of thousands of warriors fighting against each other. Those tens of thousands of people were all wearing upper torso. On one side, five or six thousand people had red cloth strips tied to their arms, and on the other side, five or six thousand people had blue cloth strips tied on their arms. Tens of thousands of people were rolling and fighting on the hillside, although neither side used real swords or guns. It was really a deadly fight, and everyone was just using their bare hands, but even so, the scene was so fierce that it was enough to make people think that there was a fight. The Chinese warriors were rolling and wrestling on the hillside and on the ground, and many people were injured. The sand and gravel on the ground had worn their skin to pieces, and their flesh was dripping with blood. But even so, those people were still rolling in the sand one by one. Under the scorching sun, the sweat and blood on those people's bodies were mixed with the sand. Each and every one of them had strange mud-like traces and patches of mottled color...
Seeing such training, Zhang Tie was also a little moved. From the Chinese warriors who were training, Zhang Tie felt an aura that he only had in the Iron Blood Camp. This was true training with life, right on the training ground. , many people were beaten with blood on their faces, but they still refused to take a step back, roaring and rushing towards their opponents again and again...
"Where is the guard regiment of this base?" Zhang Tie asked the generals around him.
"The guard regiments of this base are all adapted from the original state army of Wuzhou!" A regiment commander looked at such a training scene and his tone was a little low. "Many of the relatives of these people were either killed by the demons or fell into the trap. They are in the area occupied by the demons, so they all have a lot of energy in their bodies. They all know that the demons' legions are at least level nine warriors, and most of them are level six. Next, they know that if they really encounter the demon army, they may not be able to kill those demon bastards, so they can only train desperately, hoping that one day when they encounter those demon bastards, they will have a chance to drag one of them before death. Backrest..."
"It's not just them. Some of the men in the various legions in the war zone, including the brothers of the Fourth Army, don't think so. It's enough to be able to fight to kill one demon, and it's enough to be able to fight to kill two. Just make one..." Fang Hui also sighed and said, "Everyone is afraid that even if they try their best, it will be useless. That is the real despair..."
Zhang Tie watched the training at the training ground for a while, and was silent for two seconds. "Let them gather first, and let them look around. The things I brought today are for them to use desperately against the demons..."
After Zhang Tie finished speaking, the horn sounded in the training ground. Amidst the sound of the horn, the Chinese boys who were training enthusiastically just now stopped one by one and quickly formed a team. In a short time, one by one A phalanx of thousands of people stood up on both sides of a hillside next to the training ground...
Almost as soon as the training soldiers stood up, Zhang Tie's men had already carried boxes one by one from the flying boat and placed them on the ground of the training ground. As soon as the boxes were opened, the surrounding legion commanders and officers saw what was inside the boxes. Things, each one’s eyes lit up like light bulbs...
