The First War Against the Otherworld!
The area of Iwashiro is almost 70% covered by forests, while the remaining 30% is plains. The entire terrain is a basin, so the terrain of the peripheral areas is higher.
If 'Hayajiro' wants to travel to other regions, it must pass through a ring-shaped area full of mountains and valleys before it can be considered to have entered Iwaki District.
This place is also the most dangerous area for 'Hayajiro', where many Kabane will jump down from high places and crash heavily onto the outer armor without fear of death.
Although most of them would be smashed into a bloody mess and thrown out, there were always a few 'lucky ones' who could stick to the roof and then use their brute force to smash through the hatch and run in to bite people.
Only.
Based on past experience, the Torao Army, who were on high alert inside Kai Castle, found that there were no sounds of impact, roars, or flesh tearing outside the vehicle.
What's going on?
Torao Superintendent, positioned at the front of the vehicle, looked at the tracks ahead without any Kabane blocking his way, his face filled with surprise and astonishment. He then glanced at his deputy beside him.
But the latter was equally confused, "Are all the Kabane this place dead?"
"Perhaps."
Torao Superintendent stopped thinking about it and smiled heartily, "Finally, I can sleep without bloodshed for one night. This is a good omen!"
He felt that being able to successfully pass through the dangerous area was definitely a good thing.
Little did they know that as the 'Kai Castle' sped away, black-clad soldiers emerged from the dense forest on the high slopes on both sides behind them, coldly watching their retreating figures.
"Cut--"
Bullet's unusually large figure appeared, casting a large shadow behind him in the moonlight. He looked clearly displeased and spat as he watched the departing 'Kai Castle'.
"It's not 'Narukami Castle' after all. Looks like we'll have to wait. Hide everything well. If anyone finds out, don't blame me for ripping their head off!"
Upon hearing the commander's order, all the Army soldiers retreated back into the darkness of the woods.
How are things on your end?
Bullet took out Den Den Mushi and Army Colonel in charge of the other line to ask a question.
"Report! A train just passed by, but it wasn't 'Narukami Castle'!"
"Keep watching. Once the target is spotted, intercept it immediately and await support from other units. But let all the previous trains go!"
"Yes, Vice Admiral!"
Bullet then called the officers on the other two lines in turn, and received the same result.
After learning that the Alliance Expeditionary Force's forces outnumbered his own, Bullet buried his conflict with Sakazuki deep in his heart and quickly entered a state of war.
After gathering intelligence from various sources, he discovered that the so-called Alliance Expeditionary Force did not come from all directions as he had imagined, but rather from two directions.
One was the Uzen Army in the north, and the other was the main force of the alliance in the south.
The most interesting thing is that there are only twelve railway tracks leading to Kongokaku in total, of which only four lead to the south and four to the north, but only one directly connects to Uzen Station.
So, given that the time and location are specific, how should we proceed?
Ambush!
Bullet directly led 8,000 Army, divided into five battalions. The battalion he was in charge of had only 1,000 men, while the other three battalions each had 2,000 men. The last 1,000-man battalion was left to Biba Amatori to guard Iwato Station.
He had long since repaired the damaged walls of Iwato Station using his Clank-Clank Fruit ability. The process was simple: first, he merged the entire wall with himself, then reconstructed the damaged parts, and finally detached himself from the inside.
Besides the thousand Army, Biba Amatori's side also had three thousand surviving former Kongokaku soldiers. Fortunately, they encountered Crocodile; if they had encountered the Army led by him, they would have been wiped out long ago.
With the hundred cannons that Keisuke Amatori had previously purchased from overseas, coupled with the city walls that were dozens of meters high, it was believed that holding out for a period of time would definitely not be a problem.
His primary objective was to destroy the Shinano Front Army's "Narukami Cannon"!
Although it's unclear whether this thing can actually penetrate a city wall with a single shot, it does sound intriguing, giving Bullet enjoys war games, a glimmer of hope.
According to Biba Amatori's introduction.
The 'Narukami' is actually an automatic cannon mounted on Armored Train. Its barrel is over four meters long and has a caliber of 480 millimeters, making it very easy to identify!
[Waaaaaah----]
Sure enough, it's very easy to recognize!
After the ambushing crowd let another Armored Train pass, about two hours later, they finally spotted a white train topped with an enormous cannon.
Upon seeing it, Bullet grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty, demonic smile, and simultaneously took the black spear off his shoulder.
To achieve the purpose of training troops, he could not easily take action, but he also wanted to personally join the battle and experience the long-lost thrill of battlefield combat. Therefore, he specially requested a heavy sniper rifle, loaded with the first batch of Jet Bullet newly modified by the protagonist of this world Ikoma!
As mentioned before, this Jet Bullet can penetrate a 10-centimeter iron plate even when used with a regular Steam Gun, and it can also send a Kabane flying three or four meters away.
It has now been modified and installed on a 'Bullet'.
"Good luck."
His battle plan was simple: first, eliminate the strongest part of the Allied forces, and then deal with the rest from the rear one by one!
To achieve this.
Bullet has only brought in 3,000 previously trained soldiers from the Army Headquarters in the UK these days, and has spent the rest of his time pulling rocket launchers, mortars, heavy machine guns and various types of ammunition and shells.
The three thousand Army came in with these things, and the rest were brought in on two-meter-wide wooden carts.
This resulted in all the soldiers lying in ambush at the scene carrying these kinds of weapons. As for the heavy assault rifles, they were left at the base because they were in the way, but everyone had a long knife hanging from their waist.
Because everyone Heavy Motorcycle, the entire unit had ample carrying capacity and mobility. They also had Den Den Mushi) providing instant communication, allowing Bullet to know immediately which line had encountered 'Narukami'!
On the other hand, consider the Alliance Expeditionary Force.
Although telephones already existed in Hinomoto, they were all wired telephones, which could only enable quick communication between 'stations'.
These Armored Train don't have such a thing, so even if one train is attacked halfway, no one will know until the next train arrives.
It can be said that although Bullet's side had fewer troops, their equipment was already modernized, while the other side was still stuck in the 19th century.
[Click-click-click--]
As the Narukami Castle roared towards them, its wheels spinning, Bullet didn't give any orders to fire. Instead, he simply aimed his Bullet at the front of the vehicle and pulled the trigger.
[Bang!!!]
In an instant, a deafening roar, like that of a heavy cannon, drowned out all the sounds from the Armored Train; the gunshot was the order to fire.
[Da da da da da]
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh.]
The next moment, countless bullets shot from the high ground forests on both sides of the track formed a dense, intersecting network of fire, accompanied by the sharp whistling of hundreds of shells that swept down like a tidal wave.
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
The towering Huoguang and the incessant roar of heavy machine guns marked the beginning of the World Government's first war against the alien civilization.
