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

The next moment, artillery fire from the Imperial Army roared in.The shelling lasted for about ten minutes, and more than a thousand shells fell, and many of them seemed to be rockets.Compared with destroying the defense zone of the National People's Army, the barrage is obviously "taking care" of the frontier of the National People's Army position, which is the area where minefields are usually laid.When the armored assault boats and tanks of the Imperial Army rumbled into sight, the sound of the guns gradually subsided, and the two matched, and the connection was very tacit.

The first Imperial units to sail up that hill were the armored assault craft.They have one or more independent turrets, three times the width and height of the tanks.They lined up in a loose horizontal line, surrounded by Imperial Army T-70s and a small number of T-34 tanks.The imperial infantry in white capes followed closely behind.

Seeing these guys who were obviously larger than all kinds of tanks by more than a lap, Karius couldn't help but take a breath: These rough-looking and bulky armored assault boats were almost the most troublesome enemies of the Nationalist Army.The size of these guys is much smaller than the land ships that are tens of meters long, and they are the most difficult moving point-shaped hard targets for the Air Force; but they are well-protected and huge for the Army. The multi-layered compartments below make it necessary to invest saturated firepower to effectively destroy them; finally, they can either carry a reinforced platoon of infantry, or have a variety of weapons in the turret, including 122 and even 152MM cannons.

Just climbing up the hill, the movements of those armored assault boats were a bit slow, as if a fat old man went up the stairs, and white smoke was rising from the engine at the tail, as if he was bearing an excessive burden.However, this is only a superficial phenomenon. After adjustments, they quickly returned to their normal marching state, with the thick muzzle raised high.The surrounding Imperial Army tanks were tiny by comparison.

The rumble of cannons kicked off the battle.The Imperial Army's land assault boats stopped at the top of the slope and opened fire one after another.Those 122 and 152 mm cannon howitzers are equivalent to the Imperial Army's corps-level support artillery.The distance was only four kilometers, and the trajectories of those grenades were quite low.When it landed in the long trenches of the Protectorate's position, the ground shaking caused by the huge explosion could be clearly seen with the naked eye. Gray-white smoke surged in all directions, eventually forming a huge mushroom-shaped smoke cloud.

The bloody battle has begun!

All kinds of firepower hit the imperial army like a rainstorm.The division artillery group and regimental artillery group of the 62nd Mobu Division of the Civil Protection Army concentrated their artillery fire, trying their best to block the Imperial Army tank group, and swarms of howitzers and heavy mortar shells fell into the Imperial Army's offensive formation like locusts.Attack aircraft fleets skimmed through the air to attack the enemy's follow-up echelons.

As the enemy assault boats and tanks gradually approached, the direct fire in the defensive zone also opened fire. The 85MM towed cannon and light self-propelled cannon fired fiercely, and the muzzle flames were as frequent as blinking eyes; the new and clever wire-guided anti-tank missiles flew out screaming, and dropped one after another on the ground; Katz deployed to the front of the defense line The Dale tanks also fired fiercely, sending hot armor-piercing pole rounds.

The armored group of the Imperial Army advanced in a wedge formation, and the armored assault boat with heavy armor and large structure was at the forefront of the formation as the vanguard.Hundreds of tanks and tens of thousands of infantry followed.

Indirect artillery shells, direct artillery shells, and anti-tank missiles came in groups, hitting the armored assault boats that were charging ahead one after another.The intensive anti-tank firepower played a more or less effective role. Some of the enemy assault boats that were hit exploded immediately, and some spewed flames from the joint between the turret and the hull, but rushed forward for a certain distance by virtue of inertia Then paralyzed.However, most of the armored assault boats that were hit, although the front of the hull was emitting flames and thick smoke, they still rumbled forward, like war monsters breathing fire and smoke, galloping on the snow field.

Karius heard his platoon commander talking to himself on the radio: "It's fucking tough!"

Under such a powerful attack, the enemy's armored assault boat still maintained a fairly good advancing speed and a strict formation.The Kazdel armored soldiers couldn't help but feel that their opponents were difficult to deal with.

The 62nd Motorized Rifle Division did not have tanks in its formation, and in fact most of the tribal army motorized infantry divisions did not have tanks.Only a few elite divisions had a tank battalion.As for the tank divisions and mechanized infantry divisions where everyone rides on infantry chariots and tanks, they are housekeeping treasures directly in the hands of the front army, and only two of the three group armies can be divided.

Therefore, the 62nd Motorized Division can only rely on infantry and artillery, and at most some lightly armored self-propelled cannons to block the violent impact of the enemy's armored clusters.

The 502nd Independent Heavy Armored Battalion at Kazdale was reinforced to the 62nd Division.However, the 62nd Division only used the "Rhinoceros" of one armored company in the support position, and the remaining two companies were used as reserves, each looking for a place to hide at the front, waiting for the order to attack.The 2nd company where Karius is located is squatting in a small forest, on the flank of the battlefield.

In this excellent viewing position, the Sarkaz armored soldiers couldn't help being deeply shocked by the grandeur and cruelty of the real battlefield.

Curved howitzers and heavy mortars bite the rolling enemy tanks tightly.Those tanks flamed out, paused, deformed, burned and even exploded amidst the dense artillery fire surrounding their formation.However, some of the surviving Imperial Army armored assault boats led more Imperial Army tanks and infantry rolling in, pressing on the Civilian Army positions.

The fierce direct artillery fire hit the armored arrows of the Imperial Army unevenly, especially the "rhinos" painted with the national emblem of the Republic of Kazdel and the head of the devil. The combination of their automatic loader, fire control system and 125MM smoothbore gun is simply majestic Eight sides.Those armored assault boats that are calmly fired repeatedly by other weapons will be completely finished if they are hit by three or four rounds of their fin-stabilized sabot-piercing projectiles.

However, the firepower of the Imperial Army is dense enough.Even if the accuracy was not good, Karius glanced at the position, and after a little searching, he could see the broken and twisted artillery and the scattered remains on the emplacement.

At the cost of heavy losses, the Imperial Army's assault boats and tanks finally broke through the dense defensive firepower.As the wedge formation began to disintegrate, those nimble, ghostly light tanks moved out from the side of the assault boat and began to run over the front trenches.Hanging on the tank with a spring buckle, the tank soldiers who suffered heavy casualties in the face of shrapnel and stray bullets finally had a chance to play.These Imperial Army soldiers with short bolt-action rifles, light machine guns and other weapons hurriedly jumped out of the tanks, and the slow-moving ones were already smashed into honeycombs by the rifle and machine gun firepower of the surrounding militia infantry.

In the sight of Karius alone, there were as many as 120 Imperial Army tanks that forcibly ran over the first trench, but the massacre of the tanks on the infantry did not take place."Fireworks" from the 80MM heavy-duty rocket launcher and the [-]MM disposable light rocket launcher flew out of trenches, foxholes and other corners one after another.Several imperial army tanks were already on fire, scurrying around like mad cows with their tails on fire; some were using the machine guns on the tanks to shoot around desperately, while the infantrymen of the Nationalist Army armed with various anti-tank weapons were scurrying around. Desperately copy up from the side.

In an instant, most of the Imperial Army tanks that rushed into the position had been turned into scrap iron.Some of them have their hatches wide open, and there are several corpses of tank soldiers in strange poses on and beside the car body; Empty or even fragmented.

Whether it is the tanks of the imperial army or the foot soldiers who rushed up later, most of them have become corpses around the first trench, except for the corpses of the imperial army with white cloaks on black and gray uniforms, wearing snow camouflage The remains of the Tribunes in uniform are not uncommon.

Karius took a deep breath and forced himself to watch, and also forced himself not to give the order to fire or advance.Until those huge and slow imperial armored assault boats stopped in front of the first trench, some transport boats opened the springboard, and the shield guards poured out of it.

"502-2, start the assault!" A hasty order came from the headset, "502-2, start the assault!"

Karius retracted the artillery mirror like lightning, and at the same time poked his head out of the commander's tower: "Kramer!"

Heinz Kramer, the gunner who observed the battlefield at all times and prepared the shooting plan, replied: "Understood!"

Then fired the first shot of the second company.

The 125MM fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile detached its ammunition holder in the air, withstood the strong cross wind, and let out an ear-piercing scream. The surface was covered with strands of hot air, and accelerated towards the target. In the blink of an eye, it accurately hit an armored transport ship. The side door of the boat opened, beating the entire row of Imperial shield guards who were about to rush out into a pulp.The powerful shell then penetrated the side armor of the transport boat on the other side, piercing the entire armored transport boat!

The second company took the platoon as a unit, and each fired at an armored assault boat.One round of shooting paralyzed four assault boats.At the same time, the company rushed out from the other flank of the enemy.They almost sprang up from the little depression in which they were hiding, and then formed into formation, firing at full speed.

Heavy fire from both flanks threw the Imperial Army into disarray.At the same time, all the firepower on the frontal position began to shoot wildly.The muzzle flares turned into frantic flickering nightclub lights, and the curved cannon fire came in droves.

Karius frantically searched for the target and indicated the location.Cramer then took aim and fired.The roar of the smoothbore gun and the explosion of the shell rang together, the outside of the car was shining brightly, the turret was rotating rapidly, the automatic loader was rattling, and the cabin was full of the smell of shell propellant.The short distance makes it almost unnecessary for Kramer to aim, and only needs to fire at different targets at the fastest speed.In this frenzy of shooting, the armored units of the Imperial Army disappeared...

A moment later, Lieutenant General Beowulf of the Sixth Army of the Imperial Army was standing on a low hill behind the Imperial Army, watching the final outcome of the actual combat experiment of his new mobile unit.

Among the fleeing infantry, there were very few tanks.The enemy's position and formation could not be seen from this position, only a large area of ​​burning armored vehicles could be seen, and the thinned smoke covered the piece of steel and flames like a veil.

The lieutenant general held a telephone receiver in his hand, and it was the voice of the commander of the Sixth Army himself: "Hello, Beowulf? How is the breakthrough of your mechanized army going?"

"Failed, my lord."

"Oh...get your troops down. Take care of them. Remember, your fast regiments are as precious as gold to us..."

"I don't have any mechanized army anymore, my lord."

"..."

Beowulf needn't be too miserable, though.Because his mechanized army, which had almost been destroyed, was the closest imperial army unit to Red Flag City in the entire Ursas Civil War.

Chapter 35 Interlude

The Alexandria Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe has an excellent performance level, but its performance is neither in a magnificent concert hall, nor does it require the audience to wear tuxedos and dresses, let alone ticket money.

Its stage is forts, airports, hospitals, workshops, and even forward positions where the sound of guns can be heard.Since its establishment, the Hongqi Song and Dance Troupe has performed on average once a day, all year round, rain or shine.As the head of the song and dance troupe, Aleksandrov can be said to be well-informed.However, after a certain performance to send off the recruits in the Red Flag City Lugang, he also saw an unbelievable scene: the guest who wanted to meet him and excitedly came to discuss music theory with him was a man in a hip-hop shirt, With a big thick gold chain and a cigar in his mouth...

Emperor penguins?

Although it seems so strange, this is indeed a passionate and musically accomplished fan.Therefore, Alexandrov was also very happy to have a discussion with this friend who called himself "the Great". The conversation was very pleasant and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After the meeting, this friend with the appearance of a Terran beast strolled all the way back to the Hongqi City office of the 113th Division of the People's Federation of Extraterrestrial Corps, ignoring the surprised looks of the citizens of Hongqi City.He shouted to Comand who was waiting in the hall: "Ah, it's good, it's good! I haven't had such a good music experience for a long time!"

"It's a good thing that you like our music." Command replied calmly, "Your duty as a beast owner is to record and pass on music, so I think we can give you a new topic."

"Ah, it's actually not that new." The emperor said enthusiastically, ""Holy War" has a subtle beauty...Think about it, your singers are 'red and red', but they are singing A doomsday decisive religious song that even the Holy See of Lateran wants to call experts directly. That kind of weird feeling..."

Command nodded: "Although...but, this atmosphere actually comes from the Orthodox heretics in Ursus."

"After all, half of this revolution comes from your funding, and the other half comes from things that are native to this land." Emperor Penguin pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, showing a wry smile, "Thank you for your hospitality. You are still very warm Hospitality. Of course, then again, I have to give you the corresponding enthusiasm and assistance. Do you need me to inform my fellows?"

"This must still be notified. But who is notified and when is the problem. After all, strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes." Comand smiled, "As for inviting you first, I still want to ask for your help."

"Okay, now there is a piece of news: Lateran wants to send an 'envoy of all nations' to deal with Atlas." The emperor said suddenly and quickly. "She had contact with you Atlas before."

"Who?"

"Mostima."

**

In the deepest part of Hongqi City, a place that has not been noticed by all detection methods for the time being.

Tech Sergeant Bai Ye was observing the concrete wall in front of him dully.He is now looking at the crack at No. 13 centimeters, fourth centimeter from the left.At this moment, the surface of the cement wall began to crack, and with that point as the center, the wall began to bulge——

A deep sea hunter broke through the wall.

At the same time, the technical sergeant drew an alien war sword from the magnetic hanging point on his waist.This long sword, which is more like a torture tool than a weapon, was seized by technical sergeants from the Dark Eldar 50 years ago. Its blade has countless blades that flash and disintegrate, and it looks like a hive city. The butterfly knives or switchblades in the hands of the bottom gangsters are like.

The long lance came whistling, and the blade struck it.The curved blade wrapped in the energy stand easily brushed against the handle, as if cutting through a mist.

The deep-sea hunter was like a tumbling marble, taking advantage of the situation to slide away from the Space Marine and rolled up, revealing his pale cheeks that were indifferent and slightly shocked.

Bai Ye extinguished the decomposition stance on his sword, but did not withdraw the weapon: "Are you deep-sea hunters so unique in their appearance, Miss Gladia?"

It's even more exaggerated than Superman who walks through the window every time.

Archon of Agor Technology, head of the Legion of Honor, one of the chief war designers of the Agor military group "Deep Sea Hunter", and another deep sea hunter who followed the two deep sea hunters taken in by Atlas. Come on, still maintaining his arrogance and sternness: "That's not important. I thought you were only good at dealing with trackers, so there are good ones too."

"You should thank the GPU of the Integration Movement." Bai Ye curled his lips, "They were the ones who discovered, targeted and eliminated most of the cultist pursuers."

"Oh, maybe, but that's not important. My warriors—how are they?"

"Didn't you already contact them? You don't trust us anyway, so why don't you go see them directly later."

"Because I don't trust you, I don't even trust that correspondence."

"...Then why did you come?"

"There is no other choice."

white night:"......"

Is this the only reason you deep-sea hunters have? !

"Horrible enemies beyond your imagination lurk in the abyss, evolving at a frightening speed. Agor has been destroyed by them. We must gather all available forces—"

Bai Ye raised a hand: "Please wait a moment, I think we still have a lot of time to discuss about 'Hai Si'. But!"

He smiled at the frowning Techarch, though no one could see because of his helmet: "Our definitions of 'terrible' and 'evolution' are a little different."

"...The story of you becoming an infected person is false?"

"It's true. I fought for the organization that saved me and my infected compatriots. Isn't it right?"

The power armor X-01 of the People's Guards of Terra has turned off the engine, and only the battery provides power.Therefore, the warrior as tall as an iron tower can only move his hands and feet with the slight hum of electromagnetic muscles operating.The cold wind howled above the snowy field, and only if you were close enough could you hear such a subtle sound.

Standing opposite him is the Ursas inner guard who is responsible for having his head blown open by an anti-energy bomb every time he appears in this book.The eyes of the latter are covered by the complex full-coverage breathing mask, and no emotion can be seen.

The Patriot also wears a special helmet that conforms to the shape of his skull, but the pair of lush horns have long been amputated to ensure the sealing performance of the helmet.

Bozhuo Kasi is aggressive: "The first question is, how many people does the 'we' you say represent, and who does it represent?"

"...Unexpectedly," the inner guard shook his head slightly, "We know your name, and the citizens in the mobile city have forgotten you, but we still remember the legends of the previous generation. But now, I feel You are not the silent and steadfast warrior of legend. Rather, it is like..."

Patriots don't seem to mind poking fun at themselves: "Cunning politician?"

"Yes."

"It can't be helped, all organizations talk better than sing. I can only use the newly learned things to try to judge and see which one can bring a better future for the infected and for Ursus.

"To put it bluntly, I'm tired of those operatic flirtations and testing each other with conversations with extremely low information. I don't want to talk to you about the past and future, nor about roads and ideals. I just want to say , I don’t think you can do it.

"First of all, you have indeed done a lot to resist the demons of the extreme north. In this point, you are the unquestionable defenders of humans and Ursus. Then, there is nothing to say. 'A better future' does not depend on assassination , intimidation and suspicion can be achieved, it needs everyone in the society. You dream of using assassination and intimidation to bring the new era of Ursus back to the era of the former emperor, regardless of the domestic and foreign situation has been turned upside down. I think There is no hope."

The inner guard was silent for a moment, and continued: "What if we choose to threaten and unite with the new nobles?"

"According to our words, incremental improvement from top to bottom promotes the development of capitalism. But in this case, you should look for the new emperor and the speaker. Let me ask one more question, 'Emperor's Sharp Blade', you can guarantee that you are worthy of this title Is it? Weapons should not have their own thoughts. And the death of the first emperor cannot be said to have nothing to do with you.

"Now, a new war begins. Soldiers serve people and ideas, so I choose to join this people's war, the 'Holy War'. This is based on my personal values. And from a practical point of view, things have So far, the path of the integration movement will be more efficient and effective than yours, and will cause less harm to the people of Ursus.

"By contrast, inner guard, I would like to hear your commitment. If you are really for the whole of Ursus, I think you will at least not be an enemy of the integration movement."

"Hiss... Huh. Unfortunately, I can't speak for all the inner guards."

"I get it, and for whatever reason, I just feel sorry for them. They're actually trying to fight... Atlas. Good luck to them."
