Shire's troops were divided into two groups, each with about a thousand men, commanded by Estiny and Brownie respectively.
They did indeed set off from Shire's tractor factory, with tanks, sidecars, troops, and ammunition all loaded onto a train bound for Paris.
But there was one thing the spies hadn't counted on: train carriages are easy to switch.
The train entered the Paris Railway Station, and the carriages were secretly split into two sections within the station, each then attached to different locomotives.
One train headed straight north to Andrush, while the other went south to Tamon.
The so-called "train carrying Sherman tanks and troops" followed far behind, filled with cans and bread destined for the front lines.
The landslide was artificially created to make everyone, including Xia Fei's command headquarters, believe the troops couldn't arrive on time, rendering them unable to interfere.
