Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Fire of a Prairie

With a rumble, the tank's tracks crushed the stone road, and the stone road was shattered into pieces.

Dozens of tanks entered Kano town, and the town immediately became lively.

The buildings in the town are very dense, and tanks can only travel on the main roads, which poses a great obstacle to finding the remnants of Central City.

Su Xiao was sitting on a tank, and he was commanding the tank. Although he didn't understand how to command a tank to fight, he could sense the enemy's position.

Su Xiao commands the commander, and the commander in turn commands the soldiers in the tank. This is no problem.

"There are about 20 people in the house at five o'clock."

Upon hearing Su Xiao's instructions, the tank commander immediately ordered the gunner to aim.

"Replace with incendiary bombs."

Tanks can not only launch grenades and armor-piercing projectiles, but also incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, etc.

An incendiary bomb was loaded and launched with a bang.

The incendiary bomb broke the glass window of the house and exploded with a loud bang inside the house.

Instead of the fire blazing into the sky as imagined, a cloud of white smoke burst into the house first, with a faint orange-red light in the white smoke.

A few seconds later.

"ah!!"

Several screams were heard one after another, and several Central Army troops with white smoke on their bodies rushed out of the house. There were no open flames on their bodies.

These Central Army troops ran very slowly, their steps wavering like zombies.

It stands to reason that the incendiary bombs should burst into flames, but now, except for large white smoke and weak sparks, there are no open flames on those central troops.

This kind of incendiary bomb is called a 'white phosphorus bomb', which takes advantage of the property of white phosphorus to spontaneously ignite in the air.

This type of incendiary bomb was widely used during World War II but was later abandoned because it would cause huge psychological and physical damage to soldiers from warring countries, and was as vicious as Dum bombs.

The Central Army, which was bombarded by "white phosphorus bombs", was still wailing, but the Northern Army did not fire.

As soon as a new recruit of the Northern Army raised his gun, he was immediately held down by a veteran on the side.

"Just let us burn him to death."

"But……"

There was struggle in the recruit's eyes.

"My brother was killed by these losers of the Central Military Army an hour ago. It's nothing."

The veteran sneered and continued to admire the wailing Central Army troops.

War is the root cause of hatred, whether two countries are at war or a country is at war within itself.

The tank troops continued to move forward, while Su Xiao sensed the enemies around him.

Ding!

A bullet hit the circular hatch next to him, causing a large splash of sparks.

Su Xiao felt a chill in his heart. He didn't feel the gun. He only felt it after the bullet fell. There was a sniper!

Looking sideways at the crater on the hatch, he judged the sniper's position based on the crater's position.

"It seems someone else is here to join in the fun."

Su Xiao looked at a clock tower at the back of the town, and a dark gun barrel poked out from there.

If you look carefully, it's not the barrel, but the silencer.

There is a contractor. There is no doubt that the one who fired this gun must be a contractor. There are only a few powerful gunmen in the steel world. It is unlikely that those few people can block Su Xiao's perception.

"Seven o'clock direction, clock tower."

Although the commander did not see where the enemy was, he still ordered the gunner to aim in that direction.

"All tanks focus on the clock tower at seven o'clock."

Su Xiao shouted, as the initiator of the alliance, he certainly has the right to command tank troops in the war.

A dozen tanks around them turned their muzzles, and the roar of the guns continued. In less than ten seconds, the bell tower was razed to the ground.

Next to the ruins of the clock tower, a female contractor was running quickly out of the town with clenched teeth.

"Where did this contractor come from? Why did he bring the tank troops here? It's just cheating."

The female contract has a long golden braid, which sways from side to side as she runs.

Her name is Mira, and she is a sniper in the real world. After arriving at Samsara Paradise, she became like a fish in water and killed countless contractors.

At this moment, Mira was running away with her beloved sniper rifle. Facing the mighty tank troops, the only thing she could do was to escape.

Su Xiao saw Mira running away. He didn't chase her. The distance was too far and it would be a waste of time. Moreover, the shot just now was not to snipe him, but to snipe Olivia, but Olivia was very keen.

, dodged the shot.

Two hours later.

The battle in the small town gradually came to an end, and the remaining soldiers of the Central Army were cleared.

When the Northern Army took over this town, their first target was the train station.

Walking in the town, Su Xiao occasionally saw civilians walking through the streets. These civilians looked panicked and were very afraid of the Northern Army.

The first goal of the Northern Army was to control the train station. As soon as a group of Northern Army entered the train station, rapid gunfire was heard.

The gunfire disappeared after five minutes, and a dozen Northern troops dragged several bodies out, leaving large blood stains on the street.

The corpses of all the Central Army soldiers were gathered in the square in the center of the town, poured with gasoline and set on fire, causing billowing black smoke to rise.

These corpses must be disposed of immediately. War and plague follow closely, and that is precisely because the corpses were not disposed of in time.

Not long after the train station was taken under control, a whistle sounded, and the Central Army had no time to blow up the train. This was their only way to survive.

The generals of the Central Army did not expect that they would be defeated so quickly. From the large pile of military rations, it was clear that the Central Army was preparing to start a protracted war with the Northern Army.

The protracted war was somewhat whimsical, and the total duration of the war did not exceed one day.

Trains left the station one after another. This was the advance force, led by Olivia.

Su Xiao is not in a hurry to leave the town for the time being, he wants to stay behind.

All the seats on the train were removed to increase the number of soldiers transported. Tanks were driven onto the flatbed train one after another. Fortunately, there were enough trains, otherwise so many tanks could not be transported.

Even so, the transportation cannot be completed in one or two times. It has to be transported back and forth five times in total.

Olivia serves as the vanguard to clear the way ahead, passing through train stations one after another along the way until it leads to the center.

Su Xiao stayed in the town and kept in touch with Olivia.

Two days later, Olivia captured six train stations. Not only did the number of trains increase, but the number of soldiers under her command also increased rapidly.

Not all generals in Asia and America are idiots. Some generals have long been dissatisfied with Central City's behavior. After seeing Olivia's massive march, those generals also wanted a piece of the pie.

The number of allies began to increase, from the original three groups to sixteen groups, and the army also increased from the original 80,000 to more than 400,000.

Even Su Xiao had not expected this situation. He had previously thought that he would have to fight with the Central Army, but now it seems that is not the case at all.

The actions of him, Mustang, and the other three people set a fire on a withered grassland, and now the fire is getting bigger and bigger.

On the third day after the war started, Su Xiao took a train to Central City with four thousand soldiers. This was the last force stationed in the town. Now there were too many coalition forces and there was no need to station here.

The number of trains is increasing, and more and more soldiers are participating in the war.

On the third day of the war, the number of troops had reached more than 600,000. Generals from various places had already seen that Central City was going to be doomed, and it was time to take sides.

However, among the more than 600,000 soldiers, the real main force is only a few tens of thousands, and that is Mustang and Olivia's subordinates.

The other generals were just expressing their stance. If a bitter battle broke out, these 600,000 troops would be reduced to nothing in an instant.
