Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

Chapter 68: Armored Brigade Deployed at the Border

Leon looked at the huge map on the table with great calmness.

According to the intelligence agency, he is a merchant spy planted in the Forest Elf Kingdom.

Before the situation described in this letter, the Demon Empire had already occupied nearly one-third of the territory of the Forest Elf Kingdom.

This was after the 10-strong elven army obtained the weapons and equipment of Dayan and suffered 4 casualties. Nearly 30 demon vanguard troops were able to resist outside the Hillary Fortress, the gateway to the central part of the Forest Elf Kingdom.

Hillary Fortress is the last line of defense in the north of the Elf Kingdom. Once it is lost, the entire central and southern parts will be indefensible.

To defend Fort Hillary.

The Forest Elf Kingdom concentrated the remaining 6 elves equipped with Great Flame equipment and 10 ordinary elves in Hillary Fortress.

He planned to make a desperate effort to keep the demon army outside the fortress.

In order to ensure that the army could hold on, Lyon provided 20 Pak40 anti-tank guns without hesitation.

Used to help the elves destroy siege equipment.

Moreover, the Forest Elf Kingdom once again purchased nearly 10 gold coins of ammunition from Lyon.

Originally, Leon thought that the demons could not capture Hillary Fortress.

But the fact is that Hillary's fortress has fallen.

Leia was forced to marry.

But will the demons give up their attacks just because of the marriage alliance?

The answer is impossible.

Now the Forest Elf Kingdom is like an irresistible beauty to the Demon Empire.

The Demon Empire is at your fingertips.

The reason for staging a marriage drama is just to paralyze the Forest Elf Kingdom.

Then annex the Forest Elf Kingdom as quickly as possible.

But has the Demon Empire asked Dayan before doing this?

Not to mention that you are almost destroying my country by beating my top brother.

After you annexed the Forest Elf Kingdom, your next target will definitely be the neighboring Great Yan.

So to sum up, Lyon decided to send troops.

At least we have to repel the demons or keep them inside the Forest Elf Kingdom.

Leia must also be saved, for no reason. Women who marry demons and orcs all have miserable lives.

As a friend, Leon didn't want to see the kind-hearted Leia leave like this.

So Lyon, who had figured it out, immediately summoned senior military officials.

Inside the Capitol.

Military conference hall.

Lyon shared the latest situation and his thoughts.

Cadis had a serious look on his face, Carl was thinking, and Reinhardt looked obedient.

After a long time and repeated deductions, Cadis spoke.

"Leon, I agree with your plan. We must send troops, and we must send out elite troops to cripple the demon army in one go."

Carl nodded after hearing this.

Leon did not deny Caddis and immediately spoke.

"Order the First Armored Brigade of Da Yan to take the artillery brigade of the infantry division and march immediately to the border.

The First Brigade of the First Infantry Division of Da Yan will move north to defend the northern border of Da Yan, the Second Brigade will immediately move east to defend against the orcs in the east, and the Third Brigade will guard the Sin City. "

Leon said and looked at everyone.

Everyone nodded silently in agreement with Leon.

Then Carl spoke.

"Should we talk to the Imperial Capital about this?"

Karl’s words stunned everyone.

Then there was silence.

Leon still spoke.

"Then I'll trouble Grand Duke Cadis to use magic to communicate with the Imperial Capital and see if they agree."

"What if they don't agree?"

Rhinehart asked.

"If they don't agree, then Da Yan will no longer be a principality!"

Leon said coldly, and then ordered the army to set off.

Early in the morning, the army received the order to move out.

William and Gudley were still eating noodles in the noodle shop when William's soldiers ran over.

"Captain! The commander orders you to return to the team. The army will march out immediately!"

The soldier said breathlessly.

The others who were eating noodles in the noodle shop were all very surprised. An army was marching out? What was going on? Was there going to be another war?

William then threw three copper coins on the table, put on his hat and rushed out.

Guderley was a little confused.

But soon Gudli was no longer confused.

Because the military academy sounded the assembly call!

Gudli also threw down three copper coins and rushed out.

As soon as he entered the military academy, the director grabbed Gudli and said.

"Change into your military uniforms now, and I will immediately certify you as armored soldiers."

Hearing this, Guderian's face darkened, but he quickly changed into his military uniform.

There were more than twenty students from the Armored Forces Department standing on the parade ground, and next to them were students from other departments, but there were half as many people as usual because the officer cadets had all returned to their units.

Lyon arrived soon.

Then he personally awarded titles to more than 20 students from the Armored Forces Department.

Most of the twenty-odd students were second lieutenants and first lieutenants, with only two captains.

Finally, Lyon came to Gudry.

He spoke to the crowd.

"Gudli, in the first half year since enrollment, ranked first in the school in theoretical knowledge, and also ranked first in cross-country, exercise command, and professional skills!

Due to the current special circumstances, we can only let you graduate early and contribute your own strength to Dayan.

In view of the outstanding academic performance of Guderi during his time at school, Guderi is now awarded the rank of Major and appointed as the acting commander of the 1st Heavy Tank Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Armored Brigade of Dayan!"

Hearing this, everyone was excited.

Because it's not just because of Guderian's rank, but more because he will command the heavy tank battalion.

Lyon still produced the Tiger tank, but there are only 32 of them so far, which is less than half of the standard. However, the current situation does not require so much.

Lyon patted Gudley on the shoulder, looked at his silver-rimmed school-level epaulettes, and smiled with satisfaction at the gold star on it.

"I hope you can put your knowledge into practice. The future of Da Yan's armored forces depends on you. Your theory will surely make the world remember Da Yan and your name!"

Gudry saluted immediately.

Lyon also returned the greeting.

"Armored troops, attack!"

Guderian and his men quickly joined their respective companies.

The current commander of the armored brigade is Karl, and most of the regimental commanders under him are from the infantry.

So this time, Leon decided to take charge...ah, decided to do it himself.

At least the troops should not be disconnected because of the blitzkrieg.

Guderian also returned to his familiar armored unit.

Why do I say familiar? Because I spent half of the past six months in the Armored Brigade.

Even Guderian commanded this heavy tank battalion during the exercise.

Gudry said.

It's really a familiar door, it's so familiar.
