Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

The 1st Armored Division fought with all its might and disregarded losses to reach Hangar No. 8, but what they were left with was not a complete foundation, but Hangar No. 8 engulfed in flames, with a large part of it already charred black.

Looking at Hangar No. 8 in front of them, the soldiers of the 1st Armored Division remained silent for a long time, unsure of how to face it all.

Because what they were seeing was beyond their comprehension; they had witnessed their comrades being burned alive.

The commander of one of the infantry fighting vehicles couldn't stand it any longer and ordered the driver to ram the gate open.

However, the infantry fighting vehicle couldn't break through the gate, which was blocked by rubble.

After one failed attempt, they returned empty-handed.

The soldiers of the 1st Armored Division were scratching their heads, unable to come up with any solutions for the time being.

Fortunately, the tank unit arrived at this time.

Upon learning that there were paratroopers inside, the tank blasted the gate open with a single shot.

Now, regardless of whether it will harm your allies, if we don't blow open the gate soon, everyone inside might die.

As the gate was blown open, the infantry fighting vehicles were the first to drive in.

Once inside, immediately begin searching for paratroopers.

But inside the hangar at this moment, dozens of corpses lay silently.

It was as if the high temperatures outside had no effect on them.

The National Defense Forces, who were preparing to rescue the paratroopers, were stunned when they saw this scene.

They were ultimately too late.

Two soldiers from the National Defense Forces jumped off the infantry fighting vehicle in the scorching heat and went over to find that all the paratroopers had already died.

The two soldiers of the National Defense Forces instantly covered their mouths in disbelief.

At this time, the interior of the hangar also began to collapse.

Under the scorching heat, the walls inside the hangar began to peel off.

Without any hesitation, the tank commander immediately called the two soldiers of the National Defense Army back.

He then immediately drove off, preparing to call in professionals for a rescue.

It was called a rescue, but in reality it was just collecting the bodies of the paratroopers who had died in battle.

Perhaps at this moment, they finally understood the cruelty of war.

The fact that all 300 paratroopers were wiped out was unacceptable to many soldiers in the National Defense Forces.

Since it was confirmed that all the paratroopers had perished, the National Defense Forces did not risk going in to rescue them.

Instead, they waited for the fire department to arrive and extinguish the fire.

Although the capital of the Orcish Empire has changed hands, the Orcish Empire's fire brigade is still there.

Because the fire brigade was not under the command of the military, the Orcish Empire's resistance did not make things difficult for the fire brigade, but instead preserved it.

After learning that the hangar was on fire, the fire department wanted to come and put it out, but because the fire was set by the rebels, the fire department did not dare to come at all.

Now that the National Defense Forces have called them over, they have arrived as quickly as possible and have begun to put out the fire.

Nonsense, if we don't put out the fire now, the National Defense Force will just use physical methods to extinguish it...

The fire brigade extinguished the fire in an hour, and the National Defense Force rushed in, only to find dozens of charred corpses.

The soldiers of the National Defense Forces carefully carried out the dozens of corpses.

The soldiers of the National Defense Army fell silent as they looked at the remains of their fallen comrades.

During the process of moving the bodies, they found an iron box under the corpses, and inside the box were the soldiers' suicide notes.

When the soldiers of the National Defense Forces opened the iron box and saw the contents of the suicide note inside, they all fell silent instantly.

Only a very small number of soldiers left behind complaints about the military.

Many soldiers even wrote in the last part of their suicide notes that they heard the sound of machine guns from armored units and thought they were finally going to be saved.

Upon seeing these suicide notes, the soldiers of the National Defense Force could no longer bear it.

They can accept strategic mistakes, they can accept defeat, but they cannot accept these heroes dying in such a humiliating way.

The commander of the 1st Armored Division quickly compiled a report on the horrific scene inside the hangar and sent it to Guderian.

After reading the report, Gudri remained silent for a long time, silently smoking more than a dozen cigarettes.

"Send this report back to the military headquarters verbatim, without changing a single word, and let those old men in the military see what stupid things they've done!"

At the same time, inform Margelov to go to the military and demand an explanation!

Also, copy all these suicide notes and send them back. I want those old men in the military to see if they've lived up to the expectations of these lovely and respectable heroes!

This was the first time Gudri had ever gotten this angry.

Several staff officers and the deputy commander remained silent, while the political commissar stepped forward to play the peacemaker.

"The military probably didn't do it on purpose, right? Logically speaking, they wouldn't abandon their soldiers."

"Yes, they couldn't possibly abandon their soldiers, because they kept saying they wouldn't abandon any of the National Defense Army soldiers. But between 300 and 10, they decisively chose the 10 and completely abandoned the 300!"

The political commissar remained silent upon hearing Gudri's question.

"If they had told us sooner, we certainly would have had a chance to save these comrades!"

But the military only issued the order; they didn't notify us at all to rescue these 300 people!

If either of us were notified in advance, we would understand. It might be due to our limited reach or strategic needs, requiring us to make a choice.

But they didn't even bother to notify us!

Gudri's roar won the approval of most people.

Many of them were afraid of the military's power and dared not speak out.

But Gudri was different. Gudri was the successor handpicked by Caddis. What did the military matter?

For Gudri, there were only two people to whom he was loyal: the leader and the people.

But in his mind, even the leader's priority was higher than that of the common people.

Without a leader, there would be no him.

Therefore, many generals favored Lyon.

About this matter.

Most people are waiting for Lyon to handle the situation.

But Lyon hasn't stepped forward, or rather, hasn't given any instructions.

His only order was to bring these 300 heroes home.

Because he was waiting, waiting for the military to take the initiative to admit their mistake.

Unfortunately, Lyon couldn't wait any longer.
