The glow of the flames reflected the pale sky as a pale red. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info airship turned into a huge ballball of inflated fire, crashing into the other airships on the side. The queue had only been stretched for a short time, and the distance between them was not safe. The operator was in a hurry and immediately put the steam engine running at full capacity for emergency evasion. However, due to the bulkiness of the body, as well as the huge weakness in steering and instantaneous acceleration, the few airboats around him did not have good luck.

The flaming airship falls towards the lower left. The huge oval sphere in mid-air was all flammable, and in a matter of seconds, it turned into a large fireball, revealing a charred steel skeleton. The airboats on the side were slammed into in this short period of time, just like the ancient fire-passing ritual, and the airboats on the side had a chain reaction, and one after another was ignited.

In the space of ten or so, there were already seven or eight more huge fireballs in the sky. The soldiers on board were all dead. Most of the people jumped from mid-air with a fluke, but whether it was a surgeon or an ordinary person, there was no possibility of surviving at that height. Many people were caught up by the expanding flames in mid-air, and even if they were not killed by the hot flames for another moment, they fell to the ground, their bodies still broken into pieces, and the snow was stained red by pieces.

The lined up fleet of airboats was completely disrupted at this point. After the loss of eight empty boats, the chain reaction was finally truncated. By this time, the airship had entered the acceleration stage, and the white shadow of the searchlight was moving quickly on the ground, scanning the area where the sniper bullets had fired. At the same time, half of the remaining airboats also reversed direction, and the propeller thrust device behind it made a huge "buzzing" sound, shaking its body and flying towards the place where the enemy was hiding.

"Don't fire indiscriminately, keep your eyes open, and then press the trigger when you've identified the target!" said this sentence over the radio, all the airboats. The enemy was far less numerous and alive than they had imagined, which should have been good news. But the scarcity of numbers at this point makes the target even smaller. The towering trees had broken many branches and obscured a lot of views. Especially in the details, it is easy to hide a person perfectly.

"There is no need to rush, our task is only to protect the retrain and leave smoothly. Whether or not to kill the enemy is not our primary goal. The old butler said from inside the communication machine, and asked the team that had landed on the ground to speed up.

The ground team divided into several squads, and one of them rushed to the front of the tractor at a very fast speed, and there was no one inside. After getting permission from the old butler, they restarted the relisting. But it will probably take a little time for the relist to be fully operational. The steam furnace had only a little temperature left, and it needed to be preheated up to provide enough power for the retrain to roar.

Several other teams divided into regions to conduct careful inspections of the rearranged cargo boxes and the bottom of the car. The speed is not fast, and the inspection of each carriage is unusually labor-intensive, which is probably just enough to roughly match the start time of the retrain.

The sky quickly brightened, and without the use of flares, it was possible to see the scene clearly. It was still snowing lightly, but the wind was light, and the airboat had been hovering over the area, monitoring the entire surrounding area.

The last attack was shortly after dawn. At that time, the airships that remained above the retrain flew to the edge of the train in the middle and long distances, which could be regarded as past support. Soon after the two teams of airboats converged, dozens of artillery pieces flew out of the snow at the same time in the originally silent woods below them, forming a huge fan, surrounding the center of the nearly dozens of airboats, and flying over at a very fast speed.

The light and heavy guns on the airboat acted as anti-aircraft guns, and the guns exploded in mid-air, turning into clouds of smoke and fireballs. In the end, only a few dozen artillery pieces concentrated the empty boats. But this time, the formation of the airships had dispersed, and the ceremonial burning of the fire had not reappeared.

Three airboats fell during the attack. But because the rope was lowered early, some soldiers on the crashed airboat survived. And the area where the artillery was fired was, unsurprisingly, the target of rapid bombardment. Both strike and fire support are very fast. However, the cannon needs to be accelerated early after firing to maximize its speed, which gives the enemy time to react. It can only be used for strategic bombardment, and the main lethality is strafing from the heavy machine guns in close pursuit. It wasn't until the snow had broken up and the black dirt beneath had been turned out that the attack stopped. Only four enemies were clearly hit, all of them smashed to pieces.

The enemy disappeared completely from behind, and there was no more movement from the beginning to the end.

Except that a short time later, an enemy was spotted by a sharp-eyed observer, and after making sure that there were no other enemies around, several airboats cooperated with each other and opened fire decisively. Within a radius of several tens of meters around the enemy, all of them became targets for attack. When the smoke and snow cleared, all that was left was charred earth and a fallen broken tree.

"How's it going?" the Major whispered, his voice echoing through the snow.

"The enemy should have really left, the attack just now, the enemy who stayed there, may also have a big physical problem, and there is no need to leave. You know, except for the sniper with the modified sniper rifle, everyone else inhaled the toxic substance. In the absence of treatment and medicine, it takes a lot of time to rely on the body's immunity and healing ability in a short period of time. In addition, the weather is cold, and the surgeon is not prepared, and the body will freeze after a long time. "Just like us, if you stay in this environment for a long time and don't shake your body to generate the necessary heat, you won't be able to survive." ”

"Did the enemy give up on the re-column?" asked the Major.

"It shouldn't be possible, the straight-line distance traveled by the retrain is not long, and it has been going around in circles in the mountains. I guess I just left here and wanted to climb the re-column again somewhere else. At that time, there were far fewer people left on the train at the base of the volcano than there are now. Their numbers were already small, and now they may not be much different from us. ”

"Maybe that's the case. The Major smiled, "Then we have to act too, and there is no chance to stay here." And the base of the volcano may be thinking about the same thing. Compared with the enemy's attack, hiding on the edge of the railway line and waiting for the retrain to pass is the most helpless thing. There is always a limit to the approximate defensive range of the base, but the enemy does not have this range, as long as they can still run, there is a chance anywhere. ”

"It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to do what to do. Kasia said that he seemed to feel the frustration at the base of the volcano, "They can only prepare for the realignment." ”

Kasia and Major crept out of the snow to the back of the hill and made some detours before returning to the edge of the railway line. Because of the thick snow, it was not easy to recognize the railway line, they needed to find a head and follow it. Otherwise, it is easy to lose the specific position of the railway and miss the opportunity to retrain it.

Physical strength is being abnormally depleted. About an hour later, with only a dead forest full of snow around Kasia and the Major, the railroad was buried not far in front of them. A sound began to echo through the silent mountains, and the realignment restarted.

"It's coming. Kasia and the Major looked at each other as they sped up on their way. They saw a position where they could easily jump up to the recolumn.
