Chapter 36 Showdown

Ever since they approached the scheduled location on the map, the entire Rhodes Island fell into silence.There are tens of thousands of land cruisers on board, the lights on and off the ship are sparse, and the human voice is almost extinct.

This is not only because of the strict light, noise and radio controls imposed by the Integration Movement, and the dispatch of a group of militia commanders and fighters to board the ship for supervision, but also because the entire Rhode Island is in deep shock:

The gun barrels pointing obliquely at the sky are as dense as a forest, and the artillery positions are arranged one by one, stretching to the sky.

Tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery and trucks spread out on the wilderness filled the field of vision, covering the grassy and inaccessible northern Ursas wilderness.I have been driving for more than ten kilometers, and the scene has not changed.

For the first time, the land fleet of the National People's Army, which made its public appearance on a large scale, was silent, with a large number of radars, antennas and missile launchers on board.

The Rhode Island does have a huge body that can compete with the mobile city module, but in this vast ocean of personnel and equipment, the operators are still scalp numb and their hearts are drumming.

Until the Rhode Island finally came to its scheduled place to stop.

Here, is everyone's old friend: the Atlas Land Fleet flying the red triangular flag with silver border on black background.The strike cruiser Natural Selection is standing silently at the forefront of the fleet.

**

The huge military tent was packed densely.The pine branch green of the tribal army, the iron gray of the fleet, the dark blue of the air force, the one-piece flight suits of the pilots, the camouflage uniforms of the commandos with power exoskeleton or power armor, and the blue and gray of Rhode Island form a colorful scroll. picture scroll.

The former enemy commander of this operation, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Huaisheng of the People's Federation, is introducing information: "The ultimate goal of the 'Jabuwa' plan is to occupy the airport in the hinterland of the enemy-occupied area and hold on until the main force of our army arrives.

"For this task, the Atlas Air Force has concentrated a squadron of Thunderhawk gunboats, a squadron of general-purpose and attack-type Valkyrie, and two squadrons of transport-type Valkyrie. In addition, there are light reconnaissance squadrons from the Air Force of the Tribal Army. Helicopters and transport helicopters have a total of nearly 100 vertical take-off and landing vehicles. It is enough to carry out an engine-landing assault on an airport only 170 kilometers away.

"In the first phase of the operation, we will remove all enemy outposts on the assault route. These tasks will be completed by the special operations unit that has infiltrated the enemy-occupied area in the early stage and cooperates with the special operations unit on light helicopters.

"And after that, the first echelon of the first phase of our air assault operation began with the full-scale offensive..."

Details, tons of details.

After the enemy post on the original attack route is occupied, the lights will be turned on to guide the flight; the air force will destroy and block the railways and roads around the airport; the long-range rocket launcher's fire cover around the airport runway must be in the last minute before the arrival of the fleet End, ensure that the shells are blown up and the plane lands; the snow monsters outside the airport will monitor in real time and transmit the information to the commando; the first echelon of the attack is composed of the most elite forces of all parties involved in the operation in addition to the genuine Renlian soldiers; Heavy units, including tanks and armored vehicles, will be deployed later; the closest enemy unit to Tachinskaya Airport is the 1th Infantry Division, and the Red Partisans and the Air Force will hinder their march...

After clarifying their respective tasks, the people filed out and rushed to their respective positions.Tallulah followed behind Comand, watching the surrounding scene.

Dim lights with strictly limited brightness and number are distributed throughout the assembly area of ​​the entire assault force of the Eastern Front, providing the most basic lighting for the troops.The ghostly roars of the officers and non-commissioned officers shuttled through the noise of the test runs of motor vehicles and aircraft, and the final inspection was carried out in an orderly manner amidst the noise.The commanders of the various units are assigning tasks to people.

At this moment, a large number of special forces of the National People's Army have penetrated to the east of the dividing line between the enemy and ourselves on the northern front by parachuting, helicopters, swimming, and on foot.Most of them wear the uniforms of various arms and units of the Imperial Army, have received professional training imitating the Imperial Army, and are even former officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army, with seamlessly forged documents on their bodies.

Under the cover of camouflage, the special forces began sabotage operations.They killed Imperial orderlies, raided unsuspecting outposts, cut communications, messed up road signs, and disrupted the Imperial chain of command in whatever way they could.The local residents were either still sleeping in their beds, or they were told to silence by special forces or guerrillas who rose up to respond, and those who did not obey were forced back into their houses with short assault rifles.

Special forces will play a big role, but they can't solve all problems.Targets that they can't do anything about and that may pose a threat to air assault operations will be dealt with by specialized commandos.Several small helicopters, piloted by Tribuna Army pilots, had sprung up.Their general shape is similar to AH/OH-6 "Little Bird" or Z-11 helicopters, with camouflage uniforms and light exoskeletons sitting on them, wearing night vision equipment and holding silent weapons.

Tallulah poked Comand in the shoulder, and Comand turned around.After the helicopter flew away from their heads, Tallulah said: "Time flies! When I was on the northwest tundra, the Empire was still very powerful in my eyes. But now I want to put nails in its coffin It's gone. But from the day we met to now, it's just passed..."

"Four years and three months," Comand replied, "Four years and three months ago today, a peasant girl who went out to buy salt saw a peddler whose new bicycle and army coat everyone envied.

Commande raised his index finger cheerfully at Tallulah with his right hand on his chest: "She didn't like his smug look, and felt that this guy was afraid that no one would rob him, so she couldn't help but pick out the salt bag." Say a few more words...then the story begins."

The Drake girl smiled and leaned against the hatch of the Valkyrie gunship, looking up at the dark night before dawn: "Oh, you still remember."

"Could it be that you forgot?" Comand asked back.

Tallulah lowered her head and smiled towards Comand: "Of course not."

The girl's cheeks are still fair, but this does not mean that she is pampered.Her activities over the past few years ranged from the northwest tundra to the Kazdaele, and then to the northern wastelands. None of them were places with strong sunlight. After she started wearing power armor, her skin became pale due to the long-term lack of sunlight.However, perhaps it is because of my love for beauty that my skin, which was once rough from living in the open air, is now much more delicate as conditions improve.

"It's just, it's such an earth-shaking change... At that time, in my eyes, the Ursus Empire was still extremely powerful. I didn't even dare to think about smashing the empire. My mental preparation was that the infected people would live in the short life Do your best, at least leave something behind for the fighters behind. Then... you came, beat the imperial army that I thought would never be able to fight, and changed unconsciously everything that happens to you.

"Do you know? At the moment when the Sixth Army of Ursas in the Kursk Valley collapsed, I was at a loss. An army that confronted the regular army of the Empire was beyond my wildest imagination. One A battle I thought was unwinnable, you dusted off like dust. Like you said, 'shattered the myth of the empire's invincibility'. And the Infected problem...it used to be my eyes However, when I heard the word 'infected' recently, my first reaction was, what kind of disease is it?"

The girl tilted her head: "You are such a strange group of people. You are incompatible with the whole atmosphere, but you always shine with your own light. Unknowingly, you have changed this land, and you have also changed me."

A small light in the gunship's cabin was on, casting a warm golden light on Tallulah Atrias's smile: "So, you are the heroes of this land, and you are my hero. .”

After the passionate declaration, the two of them calmed down in a tacit understanding, using silence to relieve the anxiety in their hearts.At the same time, we are waiting for the critical moment to come.Tallulah had a small radio in her power armor pouch, and Commander flipped through the briefing notes.

"Five minutes before h on D-Day, we're supposed to be boarding. And now—"

time up!

Beside the group of gunboats and helicopters that were silent in the dark, the human alliance space fighters and combat infantry who were sitting on the ground stood up in unison and rushed towards their respective gunboats.As for the Thunderhawk and Valkyrie gunboats in the first echelon, the engines also gradually increased their power from the standby state.

At the same time, the personnel and equipment of the forward command post are ready, and the portable command communication equipment and command staff are on standby by the helicopter.Former enemy commander Lieutenant Colonel Lin Huaisheng sat beside his Valkyrie gunboat, waiting for the final message.It was also exactly three hundred seconds before h on the D day that the Eastern Front Army Command sent the news that all the commanding heights along the entire voyage had been controlled.

Lin Huaisheng waited for a few seconds before standing up, and the general covered the laptop heavily: "Next, we should play the elegy of Ursus imperial power!"

A whole group of gunboats took off from the runway, formed a tight formation at a rapid speed over the take-off and landing area, and then turned around and flew eastward.Although the sunrise is close at hand, the ground is still pitch black.

Comand watched Tallulah fiddling with the radio, connecting his power armor earphones to it as well.When time slipped to "D-Day Hour", that is, at 1095:2 on February 10, 5, a sound came from the official channel of the integrated movement locked on the radio.

It was also at this moment that the gunboats of the first attack echelon of the first phase of the "Jabwa Plan" flew above the actual control line between the enemy and ourselves on the northern front.

It was also at this moment that thousands of cannons shot out muzzle flames at the same time, reflecting the horizon on the side in darkness brighter than the horizon on the sunrise side.

**

In the descriptions of the "Great Revolutionary War" and "the suppression of the Red Bandit Rebellion" by both sides of the Ursas Civil War, negotiation is a very delicate and extremely fierce front.

To be honest, both parties in the negotiations lack the sincerity of peace: for the empire, giving up any territory is unacceptable. Now that the capital and trump cards of the empire are getting smaller and smaller, only a tiger is left to survive. No one in the imperial system can afford the political price and historical responsibility of Ursus breaking away from his own rule.

The reason for the integration movement is even simpler: the 113th Division will not agree.

"I'll give you what you want. After a long time of tossing around, you can get a separatist party? Then what's the use of me asking you?"

Therefore, the negotiations between the Integration Movement and the Ursus Empire during the war seemed ineffective and ridiculous.Sometimes the negotiators of the integration movement, who are in cheap and simple suits, are calm and a little satisfied, while the imperial negotiators on the opposite side are downcast; The representatives of the group had gloomy expressions, barely maintaining their dignity.

These things are mainly determined by the direction of the front on the battlefield at that time, the speed of advancement and the current position.When the battle line penetrated into the area controlled by the Empire, the situation was that the representatives of the Integration Movement gained power;On the negotiating front at that time, on this battlefield where there was no gunpowder smoke but was still fierce, such a scene even appeared: the negotiators of the empire and the negotiators of the integration movement sat on both sides of the long table, and for several hours Staring at each other motionlessly.It seems that whichever party starts to move its butt first is the performance of being at a disadvantage.

The heads of delegation simply remained silent and concentrated on playing with their pencils.The entire venue was silent. One minute, two minutes... time passed by. Some people on both sides were scribbling on notepads, while more people were glaring at each other on both sides of the table.The entire venue could only hear the "sizzling" sound of a cigarette being smoked...

All in all, the pampered imperial lords are obviously not as good as the representatives of the integration movement who were born with mud legs or chose to betray their own class and have withstood the test of labor.Usually, the people from the empire were the first to be unable to sit still, and proposed to adjourn the meeting, and then hurried home in the car with their numb buttocks pouted.

The representatives of the integration movement killed [-] enemies and lost [-], and ran back to the dormitory with a limp...

In recent times, however, as the frontal battle lines have continued to move westward, negotiators on the imperial side have picked up steam and are elated and triumphant again, as if a solution to the integration movement is imminent.

Of course, the negotiators on the Integration Movement side were unaware of the campaign plan organized with the highest level of secrecy.So everyone can only grit their teeth and hold on, even under a big headwind, they have to grit their teeth and hold on to the end.

However, just in the early hours of this morning, the negotiators on the Integration Movement side sent an urgent notice to the negotiators on the Empire side.Said that at [-]:[-] this morning, we will issue a very important official notice, "this notice is very important" and "determines the future of both parties".

Not only were the Red Head representatives confused and confused, they also made it clear that they knew nothing about the specific content of this announcement at the moment.Grand Dukes, Lords, Marquises, and Earls of all walks of life drained countless brain cells, trying to find a possible explanation. The view that "the red heads finally couldn't stand it any longer and took the initiative to seek a breakthrough in negotiations" received the most support.But this is still not widely recognized.As for the various other possibilities, they are all outrageous things that the proposer rejected immediately.Even the possibility of the integration movement declaring unconditional surrender was considered.

Therefore, when the imperial negotiators came to the venue at 25:[-] in the morning, they faced the silence, dignified and silent expressions of the integration movement representatives.Everyone also showed expressions very similar to those of the red-headed representatives opposite.

A brief but delicate silence lasted for a moment, and then the head of the Imperial delegation asked the representatives of the Reunification Movement what they were doing.The head of the Integrative Movement negotiating delegation just raised a hand as a sign to wait a moment, then turned around and walked to a radio that had just been moved into the center of the negotiating room, and turned on the switch.

The sound of the radio was indistinct at first, but then the voice of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Supreme Commander of the Integration Movement, rang out:

"...The local self-governments expressed regret at the perverse behavior of the empire and the emperor, and had reservations. In order to protect the lives and property of the masses, the local self-governments in the north and west of Ussus decided to establish the 'Usas The People's Republic of Sass Integrationism'.

"We hereby solemnly inform the government of the Ursas Empire: Your long-term trampling and oppression of the people of Ursas is absolutely intolerable to us. If you continue to use various means to endanger the lives and properties of the citizens of the Republic security, the Republic hereby reserves the right to use all means to respond.

"We hereby solemnly warn the government of the Ursus Empire: don't say it's unexpected..."

The speech continues.But the negotiators of the integration movement, or rather of the republic, faced the representatives of the empire with an unprecedented seriousness.The head of the delegation held out a document with both hands, and then said in a serious and rigid voice: "Now, on behalf of the government of the Ursas integrationist republic, we would like to issue a notice to the Ursas Imperial Government: From this time on, Ursas integration The Democratic People's Republic declares war on the Ursus Empire. And hereby proposes peace terms to the Empire:

"Unconditional surrender."

PS: Is the BGM for air output in the next chapter "Lucky Son" or "Riding Valkyrie"?

Or is it more appropriate for a half tnOP to choose the Black Alliance version of "Holy War"?

In short, it is not far from Emperor Fyodor ordering the Ninth Army and the No.12 Army to launch a counterattack ().
