In the afternoon, before sunset, the huge airboat had landed in an airship base near the foot of Helan Mountain Range in Huanzhou Province.
This airship base was very large. It was one of the largest airship bases in the east of Helan Mountain Range and an important logistics base in the theater of operations. The entire base was 400-350 miles in length and over 300 miles in width. It was even larger than a Class A city. Looking down from the sky, the entire airship base was a small plain in the east of Helan Mountain Range. It was a barren and flat sandstone land within thousands of miles. Some low shrubs and brambles grew sporadically on the sandstone land.
After demons invaded Taixia Country, a professional engineering corps of 500,000 people in Huanzhou Province arrived here. It only took them 2 months to build a huge airship logistics base according to the topography and topography here.
At this moment, 7 field corps of over 3 million people within over 1 million square miles were relying on this airship base for supplies.
As Zhang Tie's airboat landed, all the huge transport airships behind it started to land in batches under the guidance of the ground lamplight signals. Batches of airplanes also landed in the airports around this base …
Before the hatch door of the airboat was opened, a gust of strong wind had blown over. As a result, the banners and weathervanes were fluttering in the air, causing the roughly flattened sandstone ground to be covered with greyish yellow sand in the blink of an eye …
The flying sandstorm rapidly passed through the open space around the airboat while the fine sand and dust collided with the helmets and armors of those generals like flowing water. The sound was like the sliding of sabers and swords on the grindstone, which was full of killing and metal sounds.
Some airships which were landing not far away were affected by the strong wind. As a result, they lost their balance and slightly deviated their trajectories. As a result, a lot of ground crew rushed into the sandstorm without any hesitation. An officer's hoarse voice drifted from the sandstorm, "Hurry... No. 3 anchor position... start the steam capstan and fix the anchor rope of the airship..."
In the sandstorm, the hatch door of the airboat was opened while Zhang Tie in white clothes walked out of the hatch door.
"Nice to meet you, general!"
All the generals cupped their hands towards Zhang Tie while clanking sounds of armor and armors rubbing against each other drifted in the surroundings.
"Generals, you may dispense with the formalities!" After that, Zhang Tie turned around and watched the sandstorm with narrowed eyes as he sighed with emotion, "This is one of the wind gusts of Helan Mountain Range. By choosing this airship base here, we could put this base into use as soon as possible. However, it would be a bit hard for the garrisons …"
"As a soldier of Taixia Country, it's normal for us to die on the battlefield. This bit of sandstorm is nothing serious!" Watching Zhang Tie, Fang Hui grinned, "As long as general could bring some good items that could be used to kill demons to our subordinates, the soldiers here would feel worthwhile no matter how hard they suffer …"
Besides Fang Hui, Peng Yulin was also among the surrounding corps leaders. They were Zhang Tie's two friends in Xiangshan City. Besides them, there were 5 black iron knights in corps leader's battle armors standing in the front. All the corps leaders of the 7 field corps of Taixia Country near this base had arrived.
The seven corps commanders stood at the very front, and behind them were the high-ranking generals of the various corps. There were more than a hundred people in total. As far as the eye could see, they were surrounded by a sea of armors.
Fang Hui and Peng Yulin were Zhang Tie's friends in Xiangshan City last year. They killed demons together. Later on, they escorted the Wuzhou Army in Xiangshan City back to Taixia Country.
As Fang Hui talked with Zhang Tie, he introduced those corps leaders on his side to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie also introduced Lu Yanyu and some backbones officials of Peacewest Farming Administration to those corps leaders. Therefore, they got familiar with each other.
Zhang Tie came here with the first batch of Fiery Oil weapons produced by Fiery Oil. On the way here, Zhang Tie also inspected the construction of airports across the country, the production of airplanes and the training of pilots over the past half a year. Zhang Tie was very satisfied with the inspection results. Over the past half a year, the bumper harvest of grains was the best guarantee for the production of airplanes, Fiery Oil weapons, the training of pilots and the construction of airports across the country were all on the right track with gratifying achievements.
"Old Fang, as we're familiar with each other, you don't need to be polite with me. Now that you're all waiting for me, I will not waste time. Let's find a place. I will show you what I've brought this time and how to use it. After that, corps leaders could take away the equipment of your corps. The earlier these equipment are equipped to your troops, the earlier your fighters would be a bit more confident when facing demons …" Zhang Tie said with a smile, "Old Fang, as we're acquaintances, you don't need to be polite with me.
"Haha, that's cool …" Fang Hui burst out into laughter as he threw a glance at the other 6 corps leaders, asking, "How about it?"
"Hahaha, thanks to you and Yulin, we're the first batch of Fiery Oil weapons. Over the past half a year, I've long been told that Fiery Oil weapons are very powerful. However, it's said that only a few frontline troops and special forces of the top four armies have been equipped with some Fiery Oil weapons in the past half a year. All of them treat those weapons as treasures. Most of the troops in the theater of operations have not had a chance to be equipped with them. Many people have not even seen them. I've long wanted to see them!"
A knight with whiskers said straightforwardly. Zhang Tie's words were very appealing to these corps leaders. Therefore, they became interested in it at once.
"Well, there's a training ground not far from here. It's used for the training of the garrisons of the base. Let's go there to see the power of these Fiery Oil weapons!" Another corps leader suggested. All the others nodded. Therefore, they came to a drill ground not far from the landing place of Zhang Tie's airboat. Although those generals of the other corps didn't have a chance to interrupt them just now, as they wanted to see the power of Fiery Oil weapons, they all followed them here.
The drill ground was on an undulating hillside, which covered a few square miles. Due to the uneven terrain, some hillsides and ravines were not suitable for airships. It would be too much work to fill them up. Therefore, this place was left as the training ground of the garrisons of this airship base. It was used for the training of the garrisons of this airship base. There were many training facilities on the training ground, such as obstacles, trenches, ponds, muddy land and high slopes. It was indeed a good place for training. When Zhang Tie and the others arrived there, the sudden strong wind had already stopped.
There were still some sandstorms on the training ground. However, the sandstorms gradually died down. Previously, many Hua fighters were crawling and rolling on the training ground. Their roars and roars could be heard everywhere on the hillside. Over 10,000 fighters were fighting on the hillside. All of them were topless. 5,000-6,000 people on one side had red strips of cloth tied over their arms while 5,000-6,000 people on the other side had blue strips of cloth tied over their arms. Although they didn't use real sabers and spears, they were still fighting on the hillside with bare fists. Many Hua fighters were rolling and rolling on the hillside and on the ground. Many people's skin and flesh had been broken by the sandstones on the ground and were covered with blood. However, they were still rolling and rolling in the sandstones. Under the hot sun, their sweat and blood mixed with the sandstones formed bizarre mud-like traces and mottled colors …
At the sight of such a training, Zhang Tie was also moved. From those Hua fighters, Zhang Tie felt a kind of qi that could only be felt in Iron-Blood Camp. They were really training at the risk of their lives. On the training ground, many people were beaten over bloody faces; however, they still didn't retreat at all; instead, they just roared and rushed towards their opponents …
"Where do the garrisons of this base come from?" Zhang Tie asked those generals on his side.
"The garrisons of this base are all reorganized from the provincial army of Wuzhou Province!" Watching such a training scene, a corps leader said in a muffled tone, "Many of their relatives have been killed by demons or lost in the territory of demons. Therefore, they're very energetic. They all know that the demon corps has at least LV 9 fighters. Most of them are below LV 6. They know that they might not be able to kill those demon b * stards if they really encounter those demon b * stards. Therefore, they could only risk their lives to train so that they could have a chance to drag one of those demon b * stards down with them one day when they meet those demon b * stards …"
"Not only them, even those guys in the corps in the theater of operations, including the brothers of the top four armies, don't think like that. If they could kill one demon, they would be lucky; if they could kill two demon b * stards, they would be lucky …" Fang Hui said with a sigh, "We're afraid that it's useless even if we fight at the risk of our lives. That's the real despair …"
After watching the training on the training ground for a short while, Zhang Tie became silent for 2 seconds before saying, "Let them gather first. Let them watch on one side. I've brought them here to fight demons at the risk of their lives …"
After Zhang Tie finished his words, the horn had sounded in the training ground. Closely after that, all the Hua fighters who were training fervently stopped at once and formed into teams rapidly. Only after a short while, 1,000 people square formations had stood solemnly on both sides of a hillside on one side of the training ground …
Almost the moment those fighters stood still, Zhang Tie's subordinates had carried boxes from airboats and put them on the ground of the training field. The moment those boxes were opened, all the surrounding corps leaders and commissioned officers' eyes shone like light bulbs at the sight of the items in the boxes …
