Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

Commander suddenly said: "Why is there such a situation? What are the reasons for this phenomenon?"

Of the fifty people sitting here, forty out of fifty knew Comand from the northwestern tundra.He is qualified to intervene directly.

Dzhugashvili's head began to sweat.But he still answered fluently: "That's exactly what I'm going to say next... The fundamental reason lies in the Cossack autonomy system. In fact, places such as the Don River Basin have been dominated by 'Cossack chiefs-bandits' for a long time. ' composed of regime rule. The local people are accustomed to such an environment and ignore the government. Our grassroots political power has never been able to consolidate. Although the relationship is formed by coercion and force, the leader and hundreds of people elected by the Cossack landlords and rich peasants Autonomous institutions composed of commanders, captains, etc. have long been a tradition. In contrast, our army lacks a 'mass foundation'.

"But this 'mass base reversal' is not so magical. It is the Cossack leaders who use region, hometown, occupation or superstition as ties, and use plundering our caravans and pro-our villages as economic bait to build a 'small community' and coerce the poor. The lower middle peasants fought against the revolution.

"Actually, the mass base in the Don valley is not all indiscriminately so bad. The northern districts of the upper Don, such as the Hopiorsk district, the Medveti estuary, etc., are very firmly red zones. As early as several This was the case a hundred years ago. The Cossacks in the northern regions of the upper reaches had neither fertile land, nor vineyards, nor rich fishing and hunting benefits. While robbery and banditry prevailed, they were also pure proletarians, and the Cossacks in the lower reaches began to become rich peasants. different.

"Even in the white areas in the middle and lower reaches, there are county committees that have survived and established guerrilla groups of several hundred people, and some local armed forces have even grown to more than [-] people. Even in the most stubborn enemy areas, there are still many guerrillas Fulcrum Village and Fortress House.

"After a long period of autonomy in the Don River Basin, the rulers have good organizations and strategies that have been tempered by history to still maintain relative independence. This makes it more difficult to break the red-white opposition and win over the masses in enemy areas. This is a fact. , but we are not at our wits end yet.

"At the same time, the Don River Basin is indeed an area that we find extremely difficult. It is the greatest difficulty we have encountered since the beginning of our revolution. To completely smash the bandit forces and landlord militias in the Don River Basin, we must The enemy's regular army forces were completely wiped out and expelled, and the enemy's local forces lost their support. Then they invested a large number of troops to focus on the suppression, and invested enough local troops and work teams to loosen and disintegrate the reactionary fortress here; however, the enemy's local forces are seriously involved With our military strength, the enemy's regular army has a great advantage in numbers, and it can start to pose a certain threat to us technically...Only relying on the strength of the Western Front Army, we can simultaneously resist the enemy's attack and solve the Don River problem. , we estimate that it is impossible.

"The opinion of our Western Army is that the best strategy is to smash and annihilate the enemy in front of us with strong support from the base area, push the front line out of the Don River Basin, and then free up our hands to focus on clearing; the middle strategy is to continue to maintain the current However, relying on material and technological advantages to form a better exchange ratio, the enemy will bleed faster and more; the worst strategy is to evacuate the Don River Basin."

After Djugashvili finished speaking, the venue fell into silence.

In this silence, Ulyanov finally spoke: "It is inappropriate to make a decision hastily. This decision is not just about military affairs, but also takes into account the politics, economy and technology of both the enemy and us.

"As for what's going on at the front, it's not enough to just listen to a report. So, Comrade Command—"

All eyes turned to the old chief who was listening in the corner.

"I appoint you as the frontline representative of the Supreme Command. When the commander of the Western Front returns, he will follow him to see what the military situation is like on the frontline."

PS: Follow-up plot preview:

Circular from the Political Work Department of the National Defense Committee of the Integrative Movement (forwarded to the Political Departments of all military branches and all aspects):

Since the beginning of the Great Revolutionary War, all commanders and fighters of our army have conscientiously implemented the strategic intention of the National Defense Commission, fully carried forward the excellent style of our army, faced powerful enemies, fought them at any time, won battles, and achieved brilliant results.The National Defense Committee affirmed and commended this.

While achieving brilliance, there have also been some problems and phenomena that need to be paid attention to in various units, which are worthy of vigilance.The notification is as follows:

[-]. Some combatants and even commanders of the participating troops have the mentality of underestimating the enemy.

For example, in the Battle of the Dnieper River, the following situation occurred at the landing bridgehead: four old T-55 tanks charged against the enemy's forty new "T-70" tanks that had entered the battlefield without an order. , Forcibly launched an attack, causing serious consequences.Regardless of the results of the battle, one of our tanks was shot more than [-] rounds in total, and its track broke, setting a precedent for tank troops being damaged in battle.According to the commanders and fighters of our army defending the bridgehead, the tank crew even blatantly shouted "I want to fight ten!" on the radio channel during the battle. The unit to which the tank belongs severely criticized this.

Second, there is slack in thinking.

During the Battle of Rostov, the carrier aviation of the aircraft carrier "Kiev" dispatched fighter planes to attack the enemy's land fleet. Before the attack, a certain pilot actually said, "What other planes are there? One round of Atlas long-range cannon is all over the place." Weird things like that.We must seriously criticize this kind of "waiting and hoping" thinking.

Three, the phenomenon of waste is serious.

The enemy tank crew had abandoned the vehicle and fled, and our tank drove over and deliberately fired to destroy it.After the air force dropped large thermobaric bombs, the enemy's position was completely barren; the commander still forced the supporting artillery group to carry out excessive firepower preparations, which blocked the movement route on the battlefield and seriously hindered the progress of the battle...

All ministries should attach importance to ideological education, improve the level of political work, and all political and industrial departments should keep abreast of the ideological trends of the troops. The phenomenon of the above notifications must be vigilant!

PS1: When will I be free to update daily...

Chapter 10 On the Front Lines

Colonel Zubachev, political commissar of the 5nd Motorized Rifle Division of the 62th Army of the Taila People's Guard Western Front, stood in the forward observation post, watching the earth-shattering battle in the distance.

This trench is located on a north-south hill on the west bank of the Don River. About five or six kilometers to the northeast is an ancient manor. It is an important support point on the division's position. There was quite heavy artillery fire; to the south was a large expanse of woods, where there were also defensive troops, and an in-depth defense was established, and the dense woods became a natural cover for friendly forces.Therefore, this high-lying hill became the key target of the imperial army.

Flares glowed pale or bluish-white against the night sky, giving the riverbank a multicolored sheen.The orange-red gun shells are scattered or clustered, flying from the front trenches to the distance at an extremely fast speed.In front of this hill is a relatively open flat land, and further ahead is the surging Don River.There used to be groves and bushes on the opposite bank, but under the continuous bombardment of the Nationalist Army artillery, only a few tree stumps remained. The muddy ground with bomb craters on both sides of the bank was repeatedly destroyed by countless pairs of boots, which reminded Zubachev From the pigsty in my hometown village on the northwest tundra.As the enemy's attack came back, figures in white cloaks swayed again on the potholes and muddy snow, covering the mud that had been trampled and evaporated into snow again.

The artillery of the 62nd Motorized Division and its subordinate infantry regiments fired again and again, and the continuous blocking barrage was built from one side of the river bank to the other side of the river bank, creating a huge wall of water columns in the Don River.As the blue-white light of the flares swept across the Don River, Zubachev clearly saw the ship debris and corpses floating in the river...

All in all, the Western Front of the Tribal Army and more than three armies of the Ursus Empire are facing each other roughly along the Don River.But if you put the perspective lower, you will know that the actual situation is not that simple.In various parts of the entire river, there are bridgeheads of the tribunes and the imperial army on the opposite bank.

The Ursans in the traditional impression are known for their hard work, and both sides in this civil war also showed this characteristic.The Civilian Army can forcefully cross the Don River with amphibious armored vehicles, build a bridgehead on the enemy's position on the opposite bank, and then use various pontoon equipment to establish a landing field to expand its own position; and the performance of the Imperial Army officers and soldiers is also unexpected , Although they have no mechanized boat bridge equipment and operating skills at all, they still use various methods to establish many bridgeheads on the west bank of the Don River, nailing them in the positions of the Nationalist Army.

Among them, some were the original Ursus positions that had not been cleared during the attack by the militia; some were the Imperial Army taking any boats, rafts they could collect, or even temporarily finding planks and dry logs to cross over at night. It was opened across the river.In some of these places, there was no time to establish defenses at all, and in some cases, the few covering troops of the militia were raided by the imperial army and quickly defeated.

When this kind of behavior is most frequent, it can be carried out in an all-round way overnight in the entire area of ​​​​the army group, making the militiamen in a hurry.Once this kind of bridgehead is formed, it will be a serious problem for the National People's Army.Even if the area is small at first and the troops are weak, it will soon become a powerful stronghold.

A bridgehead of the Imperial Army has only one company stationed tonight. After one night, it will become a regiment in the early morning of the next day; and when night falls the next day, it will become a place where the entire division of the National People's Army must concentrate its strength. A strong fortress that can only be chewed down.After suffering several losses, the militiamen would rather organize a violent attack to clear out the newly discovered Imperial bridgehead before it had time to organize artillery and air cover, rather than delay any longer.

But after repeated dragging, ten plugs blocked twelve holes, the militiamen were really exhausted.The 5th Army of the Western Front discussed this, and finally proposed a new plan: deliberately leave a few bridgeheads down, control the time and speed of the counterattack, and give the Imperial Army the illusion that "these few bridgeheads can open the situation", so that the Imperial Army Concentrate troops and equipment on these bridgeheads——

The imperial army creates hot spots everywhere to make the tributary army, which has a smaller number of troops, exhausted, but in a concentration versus concentration situation, the firepower and equipment of the militia army are greater than those of the imperial army?

Now on both sides of this bridgehead, the Imperial Army has assembled more than two infantry divisions and a large number of infantry artillery from the artillery department/detachment of the division.A group of small and medium-sized land cruisers also gathered on the opposite bank, hiding in the terrain and shooting long-range curved shots.

The smallest frigate among the land-ships is enough to support an 85MM light cannon battery, and a destroyer can support half a 122 artillery battalion.Coupled with the advantages of ship fire control, armor and mobility over conventional field artillery battalions, the powerful artillery of the Nationalist Army was involved in artillery battles.

Of course, the current Terra People's Guard is not the bumpkins with six regiments and only forty guns two years ago——

According to the current establishment, each motorized infantry division of the National People's Army has two artillery regiments!The artillery battalion of the motorized infantry regiment also has multiple 85MM light cannon companies, 120MM heavy mortar companies and a 122MM howitzer company.Even though a considerable number of artillery companies were involved in the battle against the artillery of the Imperial Army, the Tribal Army still had sufficient artillery fire to deal with the infantry assault of the Imperial Army.

Flares rose into the sky one after another, and flares rose into the sky one after another. They illuminated the night sky, illuminated the earth, illuminated the imperial army that was desperately advancing, and illuminated the army that refused to retreat. Tribune.From the west bank to the east bank, the direct and curved artillery fires of both sides are trying their best to attack each other. The dark red bullet tracks shuttle back and forth on the battlefield, and various roars and explosions fill the ears.

The Imperial Army rushing towards the high ground encountered intensive blocking artillery fire.The skirmisher line at the front was smashed into pieces by various artillery shells, but those behind followed without hesitation... As time passed, the number of imperial officers and soldiers killed and injured during the attack continued to increase, but the Nadon River The waves of people were still rolling in, and the enthusiastic shouts of "Long live the Emperor!" and "Ula!" even faintly covered the guns.

As the imperial army got closer, the various firearms of the tribunes began to shoot according to their effective ranges.When the battalion's 82MM mortars and 12.7MM heavy machine guns began to roar, it was not long before the rifles in the infantry's hands opened fire.

Although it only took two years to be promoted from company instructor to division political commissar, after two years of high-intensity war, Zubachev was no longer unfamiliar with this scene: everything in front of him was flashing with artillery fire. Bright and dim, dense artillery shells and bullets kept coming, broken pieces of earth and rocks and broken limbs were flying in the air, and explosion shock waves mixed with sand and gravel were released wantonly...

Zubachev had the urge to take a deep breath, but he didn't—he went down to the regiment command post in the most intense area as the division head to play a supervisory and encouraging role.Everyone in this command post stared at him more or less.A little fear of oneself will hurt morale more than the enemy throwing an artillery battalion.

Suddenly, gunshots that had been suppressed for a long time erupted in the trench.The bullet trajectory in the night suddenly became more than ten times denser.The bullets whizzed out densely, and the short bursts of machine guns were mixed with continuous single shots of automatic rifles.The approaching Kuroshio suddenly slowed down, and even stagnated in some areas.

However, this only lasted for a short time.Regardless of the fierce suppression of the tribal army artillery, the imperial army artillery on the opposite bank opened fire on the defensive positions of the tribal army. A group of direct-firing artillery approached the east bank of the Don River regardless of their own safety. The 76.2MM light cannon simply aimed and fired.Fireballs shot up one after another in the trenches of the Nationalist Army. Bullets and shrapnel screamed and swept past, and the firepower on the position naturally weakened immediately.

But quickly recovered.

The retaliatory counterattack immediately chased after him. The 85MM cannon gave priority to attacking those enemy troops who had been advancing covertly on the chaotic battlefield and only opened fire when they approached within a kilometer. Immediately after that, the 82MM mortar shells also continuously fell around the exposed target's artillery positions of the Imperial Army. The 12.7MM machine gun even projected its firepower. The bullet hit the shield of the 76 cannon. The shield that could withstand the shrapnel attack was torn apart like a piece of paper. .

The wave of imperial soldiers who surged up again rushed to the high ground, but was immediately stopped by fierce firepower.Even so, at the foot of the mountain, alarms were sent from the forward combat security position, indicating that the Imperial Army infantry detachment at the level of Squad to Company had begun to contact him.

Most of these cases will come out unharmed.Because the shock troops of the imperial army who passed through several layers of dense blocking firepower usually suffered heavy casualties and lacked equipment, they couldn't even chew on the combat security positions with only one squad and one squad.But there are always exceptions—

Some position reports showed that they had encountered shield guards.

As another round of parachute-mounted flares bloomed in the sky, slowly falling.In that unlucky forward observation post, the militia soldiers saw the enemy not far away.

Typically, explosives are overwhelmingly the source of military casualties as high-explosive rounds, which combine smokeless explosives and trigger fuzes, are thrown into the field.The high-temperature air waves engulfed in shrapnel can easily beat a large living person—even the superhuman Terra Superman with outstanding physical strength into a gourd of blood, or even tear it into several pieces.Even if you wear a body armor with a high protection area and high-grade bulletproof inserts, you can only protect the vital points on your torso.When an artillery shell explodes at close range, you are washed away by shrapnel and shock waves. Your limbs should be broken or broken, and your arteries should be severed or severed.

But this batch of enemies is different.

Their iron boots stepped on the scorched earth, and their burly bodies were straight.Whether it is mortar, light cannon and howitzer shell fragments, or stray bullets from rifle guns, they can only jingle in vain on the burly body of more than two meters.Under the reflection of the fire, those Ursus shield guards were like steel sculptures, standing proudly in the continuous artillery fire, as if what they encountered was just a breeze.

Shieldguards are the traditional elite unit of Ursus with a long military history.Whether it is the imperial guards directly under the emperor or the various group armies, or even the Terra People's Guard with the Ursas as the main body, the "shield guards" are all selected from the best, and their weapons can be called the top elite of their own infantry.Even from the empire to the integration movement, almost none of the shield guards armed with guns now hold shields...

The Ursus tribe is a group of high school girls who can use a small piece of the vault door as a shield. The Ursus officers and soldiers who can serve as shield guards are all muscle monsters. Anyone can become a basketball team. The main center guy.

But then again, although the foundation is very good, the gap in technical level makes the equipment of the Ursus Shield Guards far from being comparable to the X-01 power armor of the Civilian Army.They also have full armor with full coverage, boots, greaves, plastron, breastplate, armguards, shoulder armor, helmet, all covered in alloy and leather.The most critical breastplate and the front of the helmet are even equipped with additional armor, which increases the defense and weight a lot.

And all this—without auxiliary power.

With only a small amount of technological progress and design ideas inspired by captured bulletproof inserts, the imperial army obtained a set of infantry armor that can withstand all light weapons below 12.7MM machine gun bullets at normal combat distances.

Simple and crude, it is enough.

The observation post with only one squad was surrounded by a whole row of imperial shield guards.These Imperial Army shield guards are divided into three squads, and each of the three squads has a squad leader in charge of two three-man combat teams-copying the relevant establishment of the Nationalist Army-and each combat team has a machine gunner and Two riflemen.

Restricted by the industrial level, even though the AKM sold to various places in Terra, as well as the 95G automatic rifle and the PKM general-purpose machine gun used by the Tribal Army were obtained through various channels, the military industrial enterprises of the Empire were temporarily unable to produce imitations with acceptable performance. Version: The technical level of Ursus is uneven. Although there has been a technological explosion under external stimuli, the new things created by ourselves are bound to be immature and reliable, and the output is limited, so it is difficult to spread.The weapons and equipment of the first-line infantry divisions of the Imperial Army are still bolt-action rifles and water-cooled heavy machine guns.

Not to mention Kalashnikov, the stamped and welded casing of the M3 grease gun, the stamping and welding processes of the Ursas Arsenal are difficult to meet the requirements.The design scheme of weapons and equipment is closely related to the level of processing technology.It is meaningless to forcibly adhere to a certain structural design when the process and procedures cannot be guaranteed at all.Therefore, the Ursus Empire chose to base itself on reality and redesign according to its own needs——

The machine gunners of the Imperial Army's shield guards carry backpack-fed belt-type Deggarev machine guns, and the riflemen on the two sides of the triangle formation have flat-end 7.62X54R flange full-power rifle ammunition versions of Federo Automatic rifle.

Although it was late at night, the long-distance crawling also consumed a lot of energy for the shield guards.However, the small oxygen supply system helped the Ursus savage bears to use their well-developed muscles and advance towards the infantry squad position at a not too slow speed; It is connected to the water pump inside, which helps the big guys keep their body temperature normal.

The infantry squad in the outpost called the 60th force in the company to project shells.But the 60MM mortar rounds are very ineffective against those tin cans.The imperial shield guards in a sparse line of skirmishers continued to move forward, like a rolling iron wall.

Until the automatic rifles and machine guns in the infantry squad opened fire.

The dense rifle bullets screamed and rushed towards the shield guards, exploding dense sparks in their tin cans.The skirmish line of the imperial shield guards visibly shook. Some shield guards in heavy armor staggered back a few steps, and some had to kneel on one knee due to the impact of bullets, and even used the small shield on their left forearm or A large left shoulder armor to cover the head.

However, none of the Imperial Shield Guards fell, not even a single soldier suffered a wound that prevented the battle.The 7.62X41MM bullets developed to effectively fight against the old-fashioned shield guard equipment are not very effective in the face of the new shield guard equipment of the Imperial Army-who said that this equipment of the Imperial Army is a new type of rifle for the red rebels?

As the Imperial Shieldguards adjusted to the onslaught of bullets, they fought back.Six shield machine gunners fired violently at the infantry squad positions of the National Guards, pouring ammunition recklessly, as if the recoil of the full-speed firing of the machine guns did not exist at all; Guns, suppressing shooting or waiting for the target, if a tribune soldier recklessly sticks his head and muzzle out of the bunker to fight back, it will inevitably lead to bad luck and even open his mind.

Dense rain of bullets whizzed back and forth in the air.The militia soldiers all hid in the fortifications and opened fire through the firing ports. The shield guards were protected by equipment with good defense capabilities. No one was injured or injured for a while, and no one could do anything to others.

However, this won't last forever.The Imperial Army's shield guards have an overall advantage in terms of numbers, marksmanship, physical fitness, and protective capabilities.Even if no one on both sides is injured in the exchange of bullets, the big men of the empire will rush into this small defensive position while advancing steadily, and they will fight with the bayonets of a mere ten partisans.And by then, it will be the death of this infantry squad——

Chapter 11 On the Front Lines

But that moment never came.

There was a dull and loud gunshot, that was the roar of a 14.5X114MM semi-automatic anti-material gun.

The 60MM mortar shells fired from the main position of the rear company obstructed the vision of the shield guards of the Ursus Empire; another round of flares rose into the sky, and the light changes on the battlefield were extremely intense.Coupled with the concealment measures taken by the militia soldiers who took into account various details, they failed to discover the anti-material rifle that was strengthened for the security position in advance, and they also failed to capture the anti-material rifle's quiet firing characteristics in the first place.

Therefore, the platoon leader of the shield guard who had been gesticulating and shouting hoarsely seemed to be slammed by a hydraulic forging machine on his chest.

The shooting frequency of the shield guards rose sharply, trying to suppress the enemy's large-caliber rifles whose location was unknown—their iron shells were far from enough to allow the shield guards to stroll leisurely on the battlefield.The continuous hits of armor-piercing shells from medium-caliber rifle machine guns, direct fire from large-caliber machine guns and anti-material guns, and even the coverage of medium-caliber mortars are all great threats to the Imperial Army shield guards.

Half-length dummies or false targets with broken gun top helmets were swept away by the Jeggarev machine gun; a short single shot from the Fedorov automatic rifle uncovered the helmets of several false targets.Even so, the bullets roughly aimed at the correct position were quite dense, and the security squad who was exchanging guns was caught off guard and suddenly fell into a suppressed situation.

Regardless of the possibility of exposure, the anti-material gun team just stayed in its original position and fired another shot.After the roar of the anti-material gun overwhelmed the crowd, and the dazzling muzzle flame flashed again at night, another shield squad leader fell to the ground.

In response, almost half a platoon of Imperial shield guards turned their machine guns there.The dense rain of bullets directly covered the nearly ten-meter-wide position, and several shield riflemen did not fire, trying to catch the target and shoot accurately.

As the anti-material gun team failed to continue firing, the shield guards began to advance again, advancing towards the position of the infantry squad of the Nationalist Army.Although the defensive firepower on the position has been restored, and the partisan soldiers who quickly changed positions began to fire again, it was still difficult to stop the enemy's advance.

Until three red flares jumped into the sky from behind the high ground in front of them at the same time.

Only this movement is certainly not enough. The brave Ursus shield guards stopped.However, a rocket battalion led a salvo, and the movement of a large number of artillery groups firing violently was enough.

Although the Imperial Army has achieved substantial progress in weapons and equipment by relying on the Ursus Empire's already high-level technology accumulation and the stimulation of integrating advanced sports technology, the advanced weapons of the Red Rebels still impress the Imperial Army's generals and officers and soldiers.Among these things, there may be debates about which arm of the Nationalist Army ranks second, but no one has any opinion on the artillery ranks first.

Nicknamed "Katyusha", but in fact it was a 122MM 30-pack self-propelled rocket launcher battalion fired a salvo, and the night sky was filled with thunderous roars like a natural disaster, and the distant western horizon instantly turned into molten iron color.Thousands of fireballs tumbling down screamed and filled the night sky, passed over the heads of the defenders and attackers, and landed on the west bank of the landing site.Immediately, the mountains and rivers were shaken, and the smoke, soil, gravel and flames mixed into huge groups of smoke and flames that rose from the ground, as high as [-] meters!

Immediately afterwards, there were independent artillery units under the jurisdiction of the group army and even the front army.These long-range heavy artillery with a caliber of at least 152 fired fiercely at the landing field crowded with two imperial infantry divisions.When swarms of heavy artillery shells roared across the sky, the appalling noise and air waves made it almost untenable, as if a high-speed train was speeding past people's heads in the sky.

The officers and soldiers of the Ursus Empire Army on this battlefield, from generals to privates, were all pale and stunned.The red rebels have hidden so many heavy artillery around here, and they don't know anything about it!

It's normal to know nothing. In terms of technical arms, the Tribal Army has a huge advantage over the Imperial Army.Naturally, this also includes the newly formed Imperial Army and Fleet Air Force; in contrast, the construction of the Tribal Army Air Force and Army Air Defense Force is at least 40 years ahead of the Empire, which has caused a huge obstacle to the Imperial Army's aerial reconnaissance.Air supremacy is firmly in the hands of the Civilian Army, and it is extremely difficult for the imperial army to detect the well-camouflaged and night-moving motorized heavy artillery units for aerial reconnaissance.

As for ground reconnaissance... it can only be said that the attempts of the Imperial Army to infiltrate the territory controlled by the Tribune were futile.The scouts that were thrown out could be called meat buns beating dogs, and one was lost when one was released.Air and ground reconnaissance could not be carried out, so the imperial army knew nothing about the large number of artillerymen of the militiamen who marched to this battlefield overnight and were hidden more than ten kilometers away.

So this cannonball, His Majesty's officers and soldiers are sure to eat it!

A battalion of 1 self-propelled rocket launchers fired a salvo, causing the Imperial Army troops on the west bank of the Don River to suffer 720 rockets in less than 160 minute.Immediately after that, the [-]MM heavy mortar on the west side of the highland opened fire.

Amidst the muffled sound of cannonballs, a dozen or so shells weighing [-] kilograms flew over at subsonic speed and slammed into the Imperial Army positions on the West Bank that had been washed by rockets.

The terrifying loud explosion overwhelmed all the noise on the battlefield.The ground trembled violently, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial army lying on the ground were shaken more than ten centimeters from the ground.Clouds of white smoke exploded among the Ursus soldiers, where the bullets hit, the trenches collapsed and turned into graves buried alive, and the clothes on the still intact corpses turned into a pile of rags; those who were still alive fell to the ground clutching their stomachs , spitting out a large cloud of blood and visceral fragments in painful convulsions.
