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

Mephisto continued: "Besides, besides making the most of your talents, I arranged for you to leave Chernobog as soon as possible. It is only a matter of time before this place falls into the hands of our army. After all, there is going to be a big battle."

Herag was happy instead: "Use what? Young man, I don't want to rely on the old to sell the old, but your statement is really unbelievable. As a soldier, it is difficult for me to understand how your army quickly hit Chernobog."

Mephisto didn't answer, just stared at Herag with a subtle expression.Then he opened his mouth slowly: "I actually didn't expect that the insensitivity to technology would be so obvious in a person like you. Of course, after all, you didn't grow up in an environment where technology is developing rapidly and profoundly affecting the world... .. Time is precious, and it is impossible for me to discuss the topic of military transformation with you.

"I can only say, no, sir, the war has changed from the era you are familiar with. Extraordinary nobles relying on talent and physique to outnumber a hundred, serfs and mercenaries with temporary signs, and cold weapons and Originium skills. The era is over. The era of conscripts mobilized from among the citizens, the general staff system and guns, steel, explosives, motors, radios."

Herag nodded: "It can't be helped, the army is an empirical place. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, how can I believe what you said? Your army is rushing towards this city?"

"It doesn't matter, the battle report can lie, the battle line will not lie. You will get the news immediately—"

Before the words were finished, there was a hasty knock on the door in the small reception room.With the permission of Herag, the security guard of the clinic opened the door, panting: "Mr. Herag, something serious happened!"

"what's the situation?"

"A bunch of wounded soldiers and refugees came out on the street!"

**

Although the annihilation of the First Army and the Second Army shocked the Third Army guarding Chernobog State, their first reaction was to block the news as much as possible.In order to cover up the disadvantages of the war and stabilize the hearts of the people, the Ursas army and government invented some new vocabulary. Finally, people heard the news: "...the defenders on the northern front were attacked by the rebels shamelessly. After a heroic fight, we The invincible Imperial Army forced the enemy into a corner and dealt heavy losses. Since the purpose of the campaign has been achieved, it has successfully turned to the other direction today."

But the broadcast only whitewashed the peace for a few hours.As routs, wounded and refugees poured into the streets, they screamed: "Tanks! Tanks! Terrible tanks coming, we have no tanks!" News of the defeat on the Northern Front could not be concealed.News of the defeat at the front finally spread among the residents of Chernobog.

Then, the people of Chernobog began to feel the war directly - several jet fighter-bombers of the Trinity Army flew over Chernobog.These planes with advanced avionics and precision-guided weapons fly by at high altitudes, and no one can even see them drop bombs. Chernobog is proud of being able to turn enemy ships fifty kilometers away The Ashes' "Great City Anti-Cannon" exploded one after another during the explosion.The huge gun barrel either hangs down or twists and deforms.Especially the detonation of a small ammunition depot made the whole city feel the shock.

Chernobog immediately fell into chaos. A huge number of people flocked to the land ship port, or on foot, as well as using various means of transportation such as bicycles, cars, and animal-drawn carts, trying to leave Chernoborg with luggage that could be taken away. Norberg.Criminal crimes such as robbery and murder also began to occur frequently.Various anti-government organizations took the opportunity to distribute leaflets calling on the crowd to oppose the imperial regime.Many shops along the street were looted.The ignited car was burning, billowing smoke.A small number of military police and police could not maintain order.The sound of cars, people, cries, and police sirens mixed together, as if the end was coming.

But Chernobog's army and government were far from paralyzed.

The mayor, Marquis Boris, immediately announced various orders and calls on the radio.The city defense forces completely blocked all the entrances and exits of the city, and used bayonets and rifle butts to drive away the people who flocked here.The Cossack cavalry with the honorary title of "Counter-Revolutionary Vanguard" charged forward, forcing the crowd to flee with pack animals and threats.After an iron fist, Chernobog finally restored order the next day.

People don't know how many tragedies and pains have occurred on this day, only that there must be many.We can only go through the day in tension, fear, anxiety and depression.

But as the saying goes, "the joys and sorrows of people are not connected."Mephisto has been smiling since he came out of the Azazel clinic, and gradually went to live in Bengbu when he experienced Chernobog's turmoil on the road, and then laughed out of his insanity when he returned to the small hardware factory stronghold By the way, he whistled towards Faust, who was so excited that he hugged his ashen throat and spun around.

The entire Red Team, and even the Chernobog underground of the Integrative Movement, were deeply moved by the unprecedented victory.

But in terms of performance, the underground organizations of the integration movement are restraining their actions, reducing their actions, and accumulating strength for the whole campaign.Instead, it was other political parties, associations, and underground organizations within the Ursas Empire that became active in the future.Anti-government parties such as the Socialist Revolutionary Party, the Constitutional Party, the Socialist Party, the Revolutionary League, and the Federal Revolutionary Party have all realized that they are facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Although the relationship with the Reunification Movement was once very tense, after all, everyone has an undoubted common enemy.

Although there is no contact with the integration movement, each party still spares no effort to carry out actions such as rallies and demonstrations, demonstrations, strikes, strikes, assassinations, and disruption of military mobilization according to its own conditions.It didn't take long for the revolutionaries to leave the meeting, and various revolutionary activities sprung up in Chernobog and even the entire imperial occupied area.Demonstrations, strike solidarity; military production and transportation stopped in large numbers, and many troops that should be transferred to the front had to be transferred to suppress local strikes and demonstrations; in some remote areas, dozens of assassinations against government officials occurred every day , The soldiers of the local signs also refused to move to the front line.

For a time, war broke out all over the country, and the military and police officers of the Ursus Empire were in a state of distress.In normal times, this kind of thing would be treated as a joke. The elders of Oklana would even like those rebellious people who refuse to accept the emperor's favor to do this, just to catch them.No matter how legitimate the slogans and ideas of those organizations are, being charged with "collaborating with the enemy" will definitely turn these rebels into street rats, and they will never be able to recruit new members.

But now it's wartime, even St. Jun Castle has started to implement the rationing system, and the people are beginning to suffer from the lack of supplies.The war situation is stalemate, more young people are recruited, a large number of wounded soldiers and coffins are transferred from railway stations to various places, prices are soaring, working hours are extended, wages are frozen... The people have lost interest in the war, and now they only want to restore their lives. A life of stable income and supplies.Unorthodox slogans and propositions naturally surfaced, and all kinds of things that were once regarded as heresy and heresy are gaining more and more recognition.

The "Chernobog Unrestricted Fighting Competition" and "Holy Castle Mount and Blade" have already happened.Now there is a new defeat.A mishandling... Thinking of this, the top figures in the Ursus Empire's aristocratic system shuddered.

This kind of thinking makes Chernobog schizophrenic when it comes to resolving internal conflicts.The vacillating government and the mixed citizens put on a good show together.It really made the underground organization of the integration movement busy preparing to assist the army to attack the city.

It also made many people forget that the Chernobog Front Army, which has as many as four digits of tanks and armored vehicles, even maintained a complete combat effectiveness after annihilating two Ursas armies in a row, and continued to attack the city of Chernobog. Direction development attack.

Chapter 45 Penetration

From this day on, Chernobog entered a delicate situation: not peaceful, but not completely collapsed.

Rumors of "Red Heads have rushed here" occur every three days and once every five days.But the tanks of the Red Heads did not appear on the horizon.This is of course a good thing for Chernobog and the Third Army, as it can buy them time to prepare for war.But it was the city that got into trouble first——

As I said earlier, following the fiasco at the front, various "vibrant social organizations" in Chernobog began to become active again, pinpointing weak points, actively responding to new needs, and striving to push the cause of rebellion to a new climax.Marked by another chaos in Chernoborg, Chernoborg once entered the It has created a situation where everything is vigorous and vigorous.

Chernobog’s imperial officials are undecided about these issues: on the one hand, they don’t dare to take ruthless actions, the reasons have already been stated earlier; No plan was made.

Theoretically speaking, military issues are of course the responsibility of the Third Army and the higher-up General Staff, but everyone knows the facts about the Ursus Empire: the Third Army and Chernobog are the most important industrial and commercial enterprises in the Ursus Empire. Developed cities are deeply bound.The emerging industrial and commercial aristocracy of Chernobog, as well as their representative mayor, Marquis Boris, are extremely opposed to the city guards, fearing that the war will completely destroy Chernobog.

This is not a farce to create a declaration of war, condone the terrorist organization controlled by him to loot the city, and let a large number of officers and soldiers of the Third Army put on white trench coats and white masks to sneak in and wait for orders.The entire two armies were wiped out in less than a week, and the soldiers only wanted to use "indescribable" to describe the red elements in their eyes.After the violent quarrel, the only consensus is to call for help immediately.

Then there was even worse news:

In the direction of the Dnieper River, as early as the beginning of the Berlin plan, the St Junburg Front of the Tribal Army took the initiative to launch a counterattack.Facing the densely populated five Ursas main army groups, the fierce assault of the militia tanks and mechanized infantry divisions also nearly collapsed the front of the Ursas Empire.But after all, there are the five most elite group armies of the Ursas Empire, and their strength is quite strong. It is very unrealistic for the St. Junbao front army to break through their defense line and fight to St. Junbao.The offensive in the Dnieper River Basin lasted for three days and then stopped voluntarily.After thinking about it, the southwestern front of the imperial army decided to at least let the enemies in front of them repel them, and let them dare not move.So the imperial army turned from a hasty defense to an offensive, and stormed the front army of Fort St. Jun.

Zhukov, the commander of the front army, grasped the imperial army's eagerness to break through. After resisting for two days, he gave way to the enemy's main attack direction, and the imperial army immediately swarmed up; Suddenly rushed out and sealed the pocket tightly, cutting off the way back.The Tribal Army planes, heavy artillery, tanks, and land-ships boarded together, smashing the enemies in their pockets into meat paste... Zhukov played the same trick seven times in a row, and the Imperial Army also performed it seven times in a row, back and forth. More than 5000 soldiers were lost, and they were all elite troops with the best equipment and the best qualities in the entire Ursus Empire.

So the Imperial Army no longer considered breaking through the defense line.

In general, on the entire southwest front, the St. Junbao front army adopts a flexible defense, sticking to the imperial army like brown sugar, and immediately launches an attack when it finds a weak position of the imperial army. Defend with extreme firepower, and wait for the enemy's spirit to be almost dampened before launching a counterattack.It is not expected to recover much lost ground from the imperial army, as long as it can hold back the imperial army eager to open up the situation.

The huge forces of the five armies of the Imperial Army tried their best to attack, but they were still unable to effectively break through this damn line of defense.Even if a breakthrough is occasionally made, before they can develop in depth, powerful mechanized troops will arrive, the breakthrough will be closed, and the breakthrough that was finally achieved will be wiped out.In a word, without the cover of the air force, the mobile force is far inferior to humans, and it can only be realized in a dream if you want to quickly break through the defense line of the Civilian Army.

But want to withdraw?Break away from the current position and face the pursuit of the tribal army's mechanized troops and the air force's interception on the plain?The First Army and the Second Army are still watching you from the sky!

The main corps, who were barely protecting themselves, were helpless against Chernobog's call for help.The Third Army and the Chernobog State were panicked at first, then highly frustrated, and finally chose to "hold firmly, and there is a way."It was decided to immediately establish a defensive zone around Chernobog and in the city.

Unlike the first and second armies, which had an old-age mentality, neglected preparations, and were loyal to the emperor, the third army was a "Jiedushi" organization based on Chernobog.In addition to the armies and divisions under the "group army" as a military establishment, there are also a large number of irregular local troops and militias with various names.Chernobog State has a vast territory, and there are enough soldiers to fill the front line.Even if quite a few of them are local garrisons or even militias with extremely low training levels and cannot leave their hometown to fight at all, it is relatively useful to replenish their troops in defense.

In addition, with part of the regular army as the leader and newly mobilized troops as the main force, the Third Army blocked various transportation points outside Chernobog and established a defensive zone nearly [-] kilometers in depth.Although this "defensive zone" does not form a dense deployment of troops at all, the fortifications are only foxholes that the soldiers have just begun to dig, and there are basically no anti-tank weapons. The deployment is focused on blocking a few roads.But with the defensive deployment of those transportation hubs, it would take a month for the enemy to see the city walls of Chernobog.

Andrei Berkonsky: Music.jpg

After just a few days of repairs, the Chernobog Front began to advance towards the origin of its name on February 2.The 25st Guards Mechanized Infantry Division of the Protectorate Army charged forward as the assault arrow of the entire front.The Third Army began to feel the power of the large-scale deep assault of the Nationalist Army.

A mechanized infantry division has more than [-] tanks and more than [-] infantry fighting vehicles. Taking into account the self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers in its attached artillery brigade, its firepower projection efficiency is enough to overwhelm any Ursus Army - as long as they It is not reinforced by the battleships in the land battleships or even the mobile city module.And the assault power is not comparable to any regiment of the Ursus army.

Ever since, the 1st Guards Mechanized Infantry Division easily tore a 3-kilometer gap in the Imperial Army's defense line.It smashed two Ursus infantry divisions in charge of the defense in the attack, and then smashed another Ursus infantry division in the counterattack.On the third day, the breakthrough was completed, and then bypassed all towns and other transportation nodes, and went straight to Chernobog along the roads and fields.

In the end, the Third Army bit the bullet and pulled the Land Fleet out, and rushed out of Chernobog to meet these damn tanks and armored vehicles against the raindrops of aerial bombs from the Conservation Army Air Force, plus the 1st Guards Mechanized Division If you rush too fast, the front line will be too long, and you need to adjust your deployment, so Berkonsky's tanks did not rush directly into the city.

The battle with the main force of the Ursas Land Fleet, including battleships, caused the 1st Guards Mechanized Infantry Division to suffer a lot of losses: more than [-] destroyed tanks were abandoned on the battlefield, and they were destroyed and recovered. Together with the tanks that were damaged and repaired, they accounted for more than half of the division's tanks.The mobile tanks of the Berkonsky division dropped to thirty during the retreat.

However, the small land fleet of the Third Army attracted the air force of the entire Chernobog Front.The only battleship of the entire group army, the precious old guy "Gangut" was also left directly on the battlefield.The weight of this ship alone is equal to the armored combat vehicles of Belkonsky's entire division.

After a short trial, both sides deepened their impressions of each other: the militia in the eyes of the imperial army became more and more indescribable—the granite heads couldn't understand the abnormal assault speed at all, just like they couldn't imagine the 40-meter-long heavy-duty A large all-terrain vehicle of a thousand tons, and the logistics supply line it supports.This kind of logistics allows a mechanized infantry to completely bypass traffic nodes and run wild on low-grade roads or even wild fields.The tribune's mechanized units were soon dubbed "ghosts" by the Imperial Army.

The militiamen were also surprised because they encountered such a large-scale tank loss for the first time.At the front combat meeting afterwards, the commanders of the militia also came to a unified understanding: Chernobog was not that easy to fight.

In addition to the Third Army, the Chernobog garrison also has a large number of temporarily mobilized soldiers; there are more than a thousand bunker fortifications outside the city, and all buildings within [-] kilometers of the city are now being demolished and burned.All the original roads to the outside of the city have now been dug out; Chernobog's parking position at this stage, the surrounding terrain is low-lying and open, and lacks commanding heights. However, the defenders can rely on the height and buildings of the mobile city to have a clear view of the surrounding area.

A rash attack is likely to plunge the troops into fierce firepower like what Berkonski encountered before, and return without success.

After deliberation, the front army made a new decision: first, to attack Chernobog with long-range firepower from the air and ground, mainly attacking the walking mechanism of the mobile city peripheral module, and minimize the possibility of its splitting and escaping; Norberg encircled and cut off its various channels of external communication; finally, used various means to obtain enemy intelligence, disrupt the defensive order in the city, and assist the main offensive at that time.

The tribunes stopped outside the range of the Chernobog defenders' artillery.The air force and long-range artillery chattered to bomb the outskirts of the city; the mobile corps changed from a direct attack to an outflank, and began a rally around Chernobog, trying to join forces at the other end of the mobile city to form an encirclement; Those who set foot on the passage to infiltrate Chernobog...

**

Chernobog City, the stronghold of the "Red Team" hardware factory.

Everyone has just received two pieces of news: First, the tanks of the main force have joined forces southeast of Chernobog, and the militia has built an encirclement surrounding the entire city; second, a new batch of underground workers is about to arrive at this stronghold. .

Less than a street away, intermittent screams and curses rang out.I don't know if it was the city defense force playing unrestricted combat with the strikers or a vibrant social organization looting houses, or maybe it was the student association of a nearby school who were communicating with each other in a friendly way.The double-headed eagle flag of the Ursus Empire was lit and waved vigorously by a thin figure in ragged clothes.No one knows how long it will go crazy.

The special forces members of the National People's Army devoted themselves to security work with 12 points of energy.Until the order is received after picking up the post: go to the briefing room to assemble!

Faust, who had just stepped back from the observation position and put down his sniper rifle while still wearing full gear, asked Mephisto in a low voice, who was responsible for picking up his new comrades: "Who is here?"

Mephisto smiled: "Everyone's an acquaintance."

"What do you mean..." Faust frowned and thought, and pushed open the door of the briefing room. He was surprised: the huge body of the patriot stood in the corner of the room, and Frost stared at him with raised eyebrows. The map, the Sarkaz woman W was talking to others interestingly, and there were two guys who had never seen it standing beside her.

Faust's eyes swept around. Mephistopheles was worthy of being an old friend who even went to the bathroom with him. He could tell who he was looking for at a glance: "Sister Tallulah is here too."

Before she finished speaking, Tallulah, wearing a leather jacket and jeans with an indifferent expression, pushed in from another door.Faust was surprised: Sister Tallulah is here?The one who is almost bound to her...

Mephisto yelled happily: "The founder of the integration movement, the destroyer of the Sixth Army of the Empire, the founder of the new Kazdel..."

The same cheerful voice came from outside the door: "This room is too small to accommodate so many people."

Commander walked slowly through the door.

The officer on duty immediately shouted "Stand at attention!", and the people who were still sitting jumped up as if they were electrocuted.

"Sit down, please," Commander replied.

People sat down one after another.But the veteran soldiers who fought out of the northwest tundra looked at the old political commissar with excitement, and the new soldiers who later joined the army looked at the characters mentioned repeatedly in various textbooks, stories and legends with restraint and curiosity.

"Comrades, everyone knows the situation, and the situation is very good. The city of Chernobog is already in our pocket. As a military industrial cluster and logistics distribution center, it can no longer serve the Ursus Empire. Served!"

Comand put his hands on the podium, smiling all over his face: "But, things are not that simple. The enemy is dying, and he will never be captured without a fight. And Chernobog is the second largest city and industrial and commercial city in the entire Ursus Empire. The most developed city. There are more than 8000 factories and enterprises, more than [-] companies, and dozens of universities, middle schools and primary schools.

"We must protect the key facilities in this city as much as possible, and reduce damage and losses. This is the main task that the superior sent us into Chernobog!"

Chapter 46 Lak.jpg

Comander wasn't telling the whole truth.

For example, his main task is to participate in the protection of the sarcophagus, helping Rhodes Island to open the coffin of a mysterious hooded man; at the same time, protecting the sarcophagus and handing it over to the relevant departments of the People's Federation.As for assisting the Tribunes to liberate Chernobog, that was a secondary task.

As for the young Lieutenant Alex of the Tribal Army with the call sign "Bonebreaker" and the indifferent GPU new field scout "Kingslayer" Lyudmila, he only briefly introduced them, and then disappeared.Plot characters are important, but they don't have to be too important.

However, when Commander went to visit a small bakery next door, two rough old men of the same style began to happily exchange fists, curses and greetings. The curse words in them made Talulah raise her eyebrows.

Commande patted the "bakery owner" on the shoulder, and introduced to Talula: "He Muping, an old man who does extraterrestrial reconnaissance work. He is also my leader in this field."

The "Special Advisory Group" of the 113th Division where Command is a member developed from a peaceful youth in the 21s to an excellent People's Federation soldier and crossing worker.

During the time-travel work, the People's Federation Extraterrestrial Corps will conduct targeted training for the backbone of the work going to different universes.This is normal. After all, even the universe has changed, and the working and living environment will naturally change greatly.When the relevant departments of the People's Federation of China allocate time-travel workers from different universes, they will try their best to follow the principle of "the new environment is as similar as possible to the original environment." However, the commanders and employees of the extraterrestrial corps sent by the organization to travel will still It takes a lot to adapt to a new environment.

In the "Crossing Port" of People's Federation, the most legendary people are those old-timers who opened up and explored new universes in the past.And Colonel He Muping is one of the best: he was in charge of crossing in the pre-human empire period, and he was close to a security contractor in a near-future world view.When the company fooled the newcomers, it said it only needed to deal with a small group of enemies, but later it competed with the regular army, and finally had to fight against the ultra-high-tech anti-human cult.As a result, the "plot" had just reached the middle stage, and this buddy successfully turned the tables on the entire earth——

False Tactical Figure: Slaanesh-like appearance, feeble weapons

Barely acceptable tactical figure: ceramic steel and adamantine subskin armor, loyal plasma gun

True Tactical Figures: [-] [-]/[-] tall and [-] wide, power armor, plasma cannon, heavy flamethrower, chainsword—die, heretic!

The interstellar warriors who were directly sent violently repulsed the abhorrent legion of knowledge, the blasphemous heresy, and the separatist regime just around the corner. The cart of history was directly kicked to another road by their iron boots.As the space fleet dragged in an asteroid and put it on an engine, and lifted up a certain cyberpunk-style technological warlord who was huddled in the underground ruins of an ancient Antarctic civilization, there will be no dissatisfaction on the entire planet—after all, most of the dissatisfied die. up.

Therefore, the ECY-51 parallel universe became one of the earliest achievements of Renlian's cross-universe development.

"Speaking of which, you are a bit overqualified here." Comand sighed, "You can set up a shop here for retirement."

He Mupingle: "I also opened a restaurant and a small mercenary company opposite the Griffin headquarters at the beginning. This is called a professional counterpart."

"It seems that your ability to integrate into the local area is quite strong. Then tell me about the folk situation in Chernobog?"

He Muping paused for a while, and smiled funnyly: "Le;

"very happy;

"Very fun!"

**

It has only been ten days since the contact between the Third Army and the Chernobog Front Army, but a new wave of riots has spread due to various reasons: In Chernobog today, there will be Worker pickets from two factories confronted each other with sharpened iron bars, gangsters were stealing and robbing on another street, and student associations were punching each other on another street.

Commander and the others followed several members of the red team through the streets, watching Mephisto and Faust sometimes leading him into a small alley, sometimes chatting with the best of the best and leading him through, and finally successfully got into a certain square In a small building not far away.
