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

Finally, there is the issue of land ships.The severe air threat made the Imperial Army Land Fleet begin to undergo air defense transformation as quickly as possible.These large mobile platforms can carry dozens or hundreds of anti-aircraft firearms to move around. Although the performance of the imperial army's anti-aircraft weapons is limited, and the command and control efficiency of air defense operations is also very low, land-ships have still become the most difficult task for the Air Force of the Conservation Army. bone.On this basis, the Imperial Army resumed the use of land ships as the backbone of the front.These big iron boxes that roamed behind the front line and harassed the Nationalist Army positions with fierce artillery fire not only caused headaches for the Nationalist Army, but also constrained the only air force in the Nationalist Army that could effectively deal with them.

Therefore, although the Tribal Army boasted that their aerial strangulation could slowly suffocate the front line of the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army eventually gradually accumulated the resources needed for a large-scale offensive at the front.On this basis, the Imperial Army began to experiment with what it had learned from the Tribunes.

The plan of Chief of General Staff of the Imperial Army Alexei Brusilov can be summarized as "attack at multiple points, attack at one point", that is, use one army to concentrate its forces on a broad front to carry out the main assault, and then let several other units attack. Each group of troops chooses a location to break through at the same time, so as to confuse the enemy, disperse their forces, and achieve the purpose of attacking.

On the 440-kilometer-long frontal front, the Imperial Army pre-selected more than 30 breakthrough points, and its reconnaissance team often sneaked within [-] meters of the defense line of the Tribal Army.And the scheduled firing plan of the Imperial Artillery has also changed from a long firepower preparation that lasted hours or even days to a short and sharp firepower raid.In addition, the Imperial Army began building brigade-level tank units and used air reconnaissance to partially bridge the military intelligence gap between itself and the Tribunes.

All of the above factors have restored some of the confidence of the Imperial Army, which had suffered so much under the Tribal Army.

However, the development of the situation was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

1095/1/1

Don River Battlefield, the position of the 17th Infantry Division of the Sixth Army of the Imperial Army.

Short but intensive artillery fire roared overhead.For the vast majority of Imperial Army officers and soldiers in the Don River Basin, this was the first time they didn't eat cannonballs when they heard the sound of cannonballs, but watched others eat cannonballs.

Major Konstantin Gregory frowned, looking at the horizon woven with fluffy fringe by the gunfire, it was the smoke and dust from the gunfire, and the fire was constantly flickering in it.

Unlike the young men around him who had just joined the front line and pointed at the lights and music and chattered endlessly, Major Gregory was a veteran field officer who rarely left the front line.The rich experience made Gregory feel uneasy about the silence in front of him.

Quiet.

Extremely quiet.

For a whole day, the major did not hear a single gunshot from the opposite side, nor did he hear the sound of the other side's shells or bombs exploding.

As a Cossack, Gregory had been fighting since Redhead entered the Don River, and every day and night he was accompanied only by the roar of war.But since midnight yesterday, all the hustle and bustle has stopped, and the shelling and cold guns that can drive people crazy have disappeared without a trace, as if they never existed at all.

The frontline officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army who were preparing for the attack believed that this was a precursor to a large-scale attack.Soldiers began checking weapons and field hospitals prepared to receive the wounded.The officers even put on the full uniforms they wore during military parades and entered the front-line trenches in the most glorious manner, preparing to face the Xu Jin barrage, the coordinated impact of infantry and tanks, and death.

The officers and soldiers on the front line were not interested in the men who were huddled in the rear. They believed that the attack was a whim from above and that they wanted to use their own blood to entertain the men.They faced each other across the trench from the red heads, and had a clearer understanding of the enemy.After experiencing a high-density shelling that blew an entire battalion and entire regiment of soldiers into pieces within a few minutes, the Imperial officers and soldiers had some deep-seated fear of the Red Heads.In their eyes, not only are the cannons and shells on the opposite side free of charge, but the red elements are monsters who don't need to rest and can finish the battle by drinking blood and chewing source stones.

Most people think that the bombardment here will only attract the abnormally accurate artillery fire of the tribal army, which they have witnessed countless times.The tribunal's counter-battery was terribly effective.

But not this time.

The moment of attack stipulated in the timetable has arrived.The assault team that had previously set out following its own barrage had disappeared in the no man's land between the trenches of the two sides.Then it was the infantry officers, sergeants and soldiers like the major who made the main charge.

But the order did not come, and everyone could only wait anxiously, arguing about what the red head on the other side was doing.

All kinds of rumors spread rapidly in the trenches, and each version appeared within a few minutes before a new version appeared. The refresh rate was so fast that people couldn't laugh or cry. "The enemy has fled" is the most common and most frequently dismissed hypothesis, and it is only said when it is out of the question.Who can believe that the red-headed players who have a huge advantage and are like krypton gold players actually admit counsel and run away?What kind of cold joke is this?What happened before that he couldn't move forward after fighting so hard?

There must be traps on the opposite side, and the red-headed people must have conspiracy - all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army think so.

Until the sharp-eyed Gregory noticed several figures appearing on the horizon.

At the same time as the binoculars, several rifles were raised.Gregory breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ursus' military uniform.However, he quickly saw through the binoculars that the soldiers who had just run over from the enemy's position were still full of doubts.

As soon as those guys jumped into the trenches, they gave an answer that everyone didn't expect:

"The enemy has escaped!"

......

Those consisting of multiple layers of deep defense lines, spanning more than a dozen trenches from front to back, and supported by a large number of forward warning positions, foxholes, auxiliary trenches, angled positions, artillery positions, etc. The militia position was abandoned.There isn't a single red skull in it.

——This kind of report came from every scheduled breakthrough.

The Imperial Army was deeply shocked by this.The rear repeatedly urged the front to continue reconnaissance and find out what was going on.The flight teams that were originally used to search and search also took off one after another to search deeply for the enemy.

The infantrymen saw dense ruts and footprints on the road behind the enemy's lines, and the biplanes discovered a long line of marching convoys on the enemy's road.

After a brief shock, the Imperial Army generals issued new orders:

Catch up with the enemy, bite the enemy, destroy the enemy!

So the officers and soldiers of the imperial army reluctantly began to hurry.While scolding my mother for chasing the wheels of cars with two legs, I worry about being ambushed.

However, they soon discovered that the troubles caused by the red heads were far more than that.

If it weren't for knowing that there was a young and beautiful girl in this set of power armor, the engineer officer of the Civilian Army would have to continue to hold her hand for a while.

"Mudrock Team, right? You guys arrived just in time!"

Miss Muyan on the opposite side smiled awkwardly and shyly, even through the power armor, she was embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the Civilian Army engineers towards her.

Applying for Atlas in Kazdale was one of the most correct decisions in Mudstone's life.At first, everyone was dissatisfied with the other party's lukewarm attitude, and suspected that their martial arts skills could not be sold for a good price.

Then I was scared to pee by the dormitory and the cafeteria.

After that things are quite complicated.Throughout the Kazdel Civil War intervention, Atlas did not go to the point of sending scattered local employees into the battle.So everybody just trains and learns endlessly—

Conscience of heaven and earth, eight out of ten Sarkaz mercenaries are illiterate, and the remaining two, one who just knows how to spell his own name, and one who does not know a lot of Chinese characters.Learning is much more difficult for them than fighting for life.But don't learn how to mix in Atlas?Sweeping or washing dishes?

So everyone can only study hard, and by the way, the mud rock was repeatedly seconded by the technicians of Atlas to eat melons and watch the excitement, and finally got a result that I can only understand after a lot of effort:

"Through the research on the energy operation and macroscopic mechanism of origin stone technology, we have successfully designed related technical equipment based on the principle of origin stone technology..."

"..."

"Oh, to put it simply, we copied a small part of your captain's Originium skills and made them into things that can be released with the push of a button."

It is well known that the majority of the current society on Terra - these demihumans are the genetically engineered product of previous civilizations.And the different types of origin stone skills are also closely related to the specific fragments embedded in the DNA chains of various races or families.This is one of the reasons why the people of Terraya passed down the "talent" of Originium skills through blood.

How to use the rich and colorful Originium skills depends on the user.But if you just want to run one or a few types of origin stone skills to achieve a certain effect, you can completely equip the technology.This is the reason for Terra's local "Original Stone Technology Universal Circuit".

It’s just that the technical power of the People’s Federation has gone one step further.The universal loop still requires Terrayan users to mobilize their more or less Originium skills and talents. Now the several devices received by the militia engineers only need to be slightly set and press a button, and the entire road can be It became a quagmire.

To put it simply, since the use of Originium skills depends to a certain extent on a specific gene, the People's Federation installed a "key" made of this "specific gene" on the Originium skill generator.For example, Tallulah, who cooperated with this research work, got a souvenir——Universal igniter made by her DNA fragment as a "key".

The origin stone technique of mudstone has now become the soil liquefaction machine used by the Civilian Army.

Sarkaz's sons of earth and stone, most of their Originium skills are related to earth and stone.However, Mudstone's specialty, the construction of the Originium technique of earth and stone colossus, has only received this evaluation in Atlas:

"Not as good as an infantry platoon."

Yes, a few volleys of fire from a tribune infantry platoon were enough to make Mudstone himself collapse and the colossus crumble to pieces.Therefore, the research on mudstone origin stone skills does not focus on weaponization, but on the principle research.Technical achievements are also mainly engineering products, such as special tools for ash removal, auxiliary tools for ash removal, and incremental efficiency improvement programs for ash removal.One of the results is the Soil Liquefaction Machine.

Soil liquefaction mostly occurs after earthquake disasters, which is a secondary disaster phenomenon.Under normal conditions, the pressure between the groundwater and the soil layer will maintain a balance, and the groundwater and the soil layer will remain stable and will not invade the upper soil layer.However, when an earthquake occurs and the surface is affected by stress, the binding force of the soil decreases, and the pressure and seepage of the groundwater continue to rise and accumulate. When the pore water pressure of the soil increases enough to suspend the soil particles in the pore water, the soil particles The bearing capacity will be replaced by water immediately, and the inside of the soil structure will flow like a liquid, eventually causing the entire site to lose its bearing capacity and deform a lot, becoming a big quagmire of sand and mud.

The area after the liquefaction of the soil layer is full of flowing mud, and vehicles including construction vehicles are inaccessible, let alone tank trucks.And because the depth of the quagmire and the velocity of the sediment flow cannot be measured in a short period of time, and the overall geological structure is in an unstable state, it has become very difficult to build steel structure bridges.

In order to repair it to the extent that it can pass heavy vehicles, it is necessary to airdrop heavy pile drivers and washing equipment, forcibly clean and tamp the foundation of the entire road, and then gradually pour steel frames and cement to stabilize the roadbed, and then re-build the road... the whole process Let the professional construction team work in three shifts, and it will take a week at the fastest to build an urgent military road.

And with the technical equipment of the imperial army engineers, hum...

The Don River Basin certainly has no shortage of groundwater.Therefore, wherever the engineering soldiers of the civil protection army passed by, the multi-lane two-way hardened roads turned into a muddy quagmire.

And when the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army looked in horror at what was originally a quagmire spreading to the horizon, they had better not spend too much time in a daze.Because the tribune raiding squads wandering around and scattered operations were about to put bullets in their heads.

Chapter 28 Then Fudge

Hold your breath, hold your sight...

The sniper "forest guard" of the [-]rd Battalion and [-]th Company of the Second Regiment of the Sami Volunteer Division stabilized the posture of the sniper rifle, and the scope locked on the guy who was pulling up his trouser legs and using a wooden stick to find his way in the mud.

Although the winter in the Don River is not as scary as the northwest tundra.But stepping into a mire with a thin layer of ice in winter is a chore for anyone.What's more, the Imperial Army's tight logistics meant that this unlucky guy didn't have any waterproof equipment at all?

But the Forester had no mercy on the fellow.

As the most northerly country on the entire Terra continent, the Sami Kingdom has long had a long border and a long history of war with the Ursus Empire.As a feudal autocratic militaristic country, the surrounding countries have more or less reasons for continuing.And Sami still maintains independence, partly because this place is colder than Ursus, and even the Ursas don't want to move there; the other half is because of Sami's hunters.

The barren environment made hunting an important means of production.The elusive and accurate Sami shooters have become the most representative arms of Sami.Then there are the weird ice wizards.

As far as the empire is concerned, if it insists on fighting, Sami will definitely be able to defeat it.However, the problem is that the poor and reckless Sami huddled in their land full of lakes and dense forests, and Ursas had to pay a heavy price to solve the problem; The gains outweigh the losses on barren land.In addition, both Sami and Ursus are important forces against the demons in the extreme north, so things have reached a stalemate after several rounds of aggression provoked by Ursus and border conflicts provoked by Sami.

But the sudden emergence of the integration movement has changed things.The Integration Movement soon replaced the Empire as the main bordering power to the Sami Kingdom.But unlike the empire, the red-headed Ursas people chose a simpler way to face the Sami people who have long been "treating Ursas differently":

"Shut up, take my money, and let Atlas recruit people at your place!"

So in the face of high salaries, Sami subjects from civilians to retired soldiers and even active soldiers swarmed in, easily filling up the establishment of the "Sami Volunteer Division" - the settling fee alone is enough for everyone to sell their lives How can it be such a good thing to kill the Ursus people after going out?

As for the Ursas who recruited them... For the sake of gold coins, don't care about these details!

Then the Sami volunteers once again fell into painful training and learning.For example, the illiterate hunters in traditional arts were tortured by sniper courses; as well as the political and current affairs news that opened the eyes of loyal subjects.

Unlike some people who are interested in politics, the ranger only cares about the newly acquired high-precision sniper rifle.She loves this precision-firing weapon above all muskets and crossbows.

Even if the unlucky guy trekking in the mud was more than [-] meters away from her sniper position, she was sure to make the first hit.

Loading ammunition...binding and shooting elements...smooth breathing...locking on the target...pull the trigger with the second index finger...the trigger is finished The journey of the first fire... the limit of the second fire has been reached——

"boom!"

The gunshot rang out, people fell down, and there was a slight sense of relief in my heart.

The forester backed slowly, backing out behind this section of fallen trunk.Soldiers of the Ursus Imperial Army were firing with rifles and machine guns, but they were just shooting indiscriminately.The Elafia shooter bowed his head, bent over, quickly pulled the bolt, took a deep breath, jumped up, took aim, and shot. The pistol-wielding figure in the scope wobbled and fell sideways.

The forest guard completely withdrew from the opponent's field of vision and ran away from the sniper position.The greedy shot seemed to have caused unnecessary trouble.Those Ursus warlocks who had launched anti-sniping Originium skills locked her approximate position, and the mortar shells of the Imperial Army roared in immediately.

It was the same last time, the Ursus' artillery fire accurately exploded all around us...

Unstoppable memories flooded the girl's mind in an instant.But a louder roar woke the girl up.

The 120MM self-propelled mortars of the National People's Liberation Army with armored tracked chassis roared, and the BMP infantry fighting vehicles concealed near the forest line also fired with machine guns.The imperial army positions established on the opposite side of the swamp were drowned in the billowing smoke and dust.

The forest guard remained silent, savoring a completely different ending.

As for the Nth attack point on the opposite side, they were still beaten to the ground.Who cares about the Ursus Imperial Army chasing a motorized enemy on two legs across the plains of the Don?

Kolkhoz was a relatively satisfactory word for the Ursas under the integration movement.

As a society with highly complex economic and political conditions, the economic environment of the Ursas society under the integration movement was very complicated.Natural villages are a concentrated expression of this problem.Most of these natural villages have less than 500 people, and many have only one or two hundred people. In some remote places, there are even four or five families, and a dozen or even seven or eight people are considered a village.

This situation is very unfavorable for grassroots administrative work, and it is an extreme waste of administrative resources and inconvenient for management.Therefore, from the beginning of the integration movement, "collecting villages and villages" was included in the agenda, not just for the sake of social security.

This work had already been carried out in the Northwest Tundra Liberated Area as early as the Comand period, and now it has been fully implemented in all base areas.

Unlike the Bolsheviks next door, the rural work of the integration movement had too many powerful conditions - for example, the layout of the "collective farms" had the conditions to be carefully planned and verified, and professional workers from the People's Federation and even high-performance computers gave reference plan.In terms of construction resources, it is also far beyond the Soviet Union in the 30s.

According to the actual situation of each region, the minimum population of collective farms should not be less than 1000, and the upper limit should not exceed 1.In addition to residential areas such as agricultural apartments and rural villas, each village also has public facilities such as kindergartens, primary schools, health centers, supply and marketing cooperatives, agricultural technology stations, warehouses, mills, sports fields, canteens, mechanical and electrical maintenance stations, radio and film rooms, etc. , as well as institutions such as village committees, militias, and public security joint defense.

"Combining villages and villages" is a huge project that requires a considerable number of new buildings, so now there are hundreds of cement factories, gravel factories, and building material factories in the liberated areas of the integration movement.There are some voices in the top ranks of the integrated movement that the project will cost a lot.But Ulyanov retorted that compared with the various resources wasted due to the unreasonable layout of villages and towns in the future, the savings are too much.

The reunification movement is indeed in a state of war at present, but the technological strength and industrial investment brought by the People's Federation, and even the support of direct supply of scarce resources, have given the reunification movement a huge leeway.As a result, the current liberated areas still maintain medium-to-high economic growth, and the young and strong labor force is mainly used for economic construction.

Therefore, when he was on vacation at home, but heard the shout of "Stop visiting relatives, return immediately!" from outside, Zubachev, political commissar of the 5nd Mobu Division of the 62th Group Army of the Western Front Army of the People's Protection Army, hurried from the second floor of his small house. He rushed down the stairs and ran out of the yard.

Not only did he see the army messenger on a motorcycle, but he also met the crowds who had just rushed back to the village from the cement factory, gravel factory and building material factory in the town.
