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

Everyone set up binoculars behind the half-closed curtains and observed the landscape of the city of Chernobog.

Finally, Tallulah couldn't help muttering: "...They call it a revolution?"

Yes, theoretically, this is Chernoborg high school and university students protesting various things to the city government.Different neighborhoods, different colleges, and even different groups have different demands, so the atmosphere here is very... enthusiastic.

The entire square was filled with all kinds of school uniforms or cheap clothes. At least [-] lectures were held at the same time. There were over ten thousand people watching and taking pictures here. It was extremely lively.There are radical teachers and students who preach integrationism in the "self-made five red rubles", die-hard aristocratic students who advocate conservatism, Orthodox seminary students who preach the Gospel, and poor students who lament their difficult life and miserable family circumstances. There are students from workers’ families who criticize imperial officials and industrial and commercial capitalists for causing harm to the country and the people, and there are also student leaders who protest against the increase of fees by the education department...

Because it is in a noisy public place, everyone who is giving a speech will find a way to "improve their standing" to make themselves more eye-catching, so as to attract the attention of others.Those who are not very particular stand on anything, such as the small stools or beer boxes that come with them, and start spitting; while others are more particular, and set up speeches with amplifiers under their feet. Taiwan, and even pulled a promotional poster behind.

The speakers were varied, and so were the audience.Among them, the one with the largest audience was the group in front of the city hall: "...the increasingly heavy tuition burden, how many people have been kicked out of the campus? And noble gentlemen, they play maids in mansions by themselves, and their own sons Domineering in the school, but still think that there are not enough people who drop out of school! Since the aristocracy wants to monopolize the right to education, then we have to fight to wake them up!

"Peaceful march? No, that's too weak! If we only demonstrate peacefully, then the gentlemen in this house will only treat us like monkeys! Only violence, only iron and blood! It is enough to wake up those self-righteous upper class People! We don't care about ruining our own lives, anyway, this fallen country has ruined us!"

Whenever the student leader on the stage shouted a word, a group of college students below responded in unison, as if they were going to conquer the city government in front of them in the next moment.

——It's just that what they waved in their hands was not AKM or 95G automatic rifles, nor RPG rocket launchers, but vodka and whiskey bottles...

And the various things around them are not the starting point of the attack composed of fortification bunkers and weapons and equipment, but simple toilets.People don't pay attention to defecation, and the excrement overflows in the tree pits on the roadside and even on the road.It is worth mentioning that just in front of the toilet, some vendors have set up food stalls, selling all kinds of food and beverages, and these stalls are always surrounded by a group of students who have no regard for hygiene.

After drinking water or beverages, they threw the bottle away, and after eating, they threw the wrapping paper at their feet. Bread crumbs, vegetable dregs, and packaging bags fell on the ground, and they were stepped on by countless feet.The ground of the square can only be described as a dump of rubbish.

And the mentality of the students is also very subtle.Among the people in the entire square, there are underground workers who have really joined the integration movement group and are responsible for collecting intelligence; Those who can attract female students; the last main force is of course to join in the fun.

Even the audience who came here was varied, and there were all kinds of people, but it was far more than just students.There are students or citizens holding notebooks and recording pens who come to listen to the speeches, there are people who look suspicious and seem to be plainclothes policemen, and there are some idlers who come to join in the fun... and the location of the audience is never fixed, often Listen here for a while, feel bored and go to the other side.

Therefore, the performance of this group of guys made the scouts of the Civil Protection Army and the People's Federation frown: these guys either sleep after eating, or look for some stimulation to pass the day. Of course, the main thing is to listen to speeches and booing. In addition, there are those who are laughing and joking, those who are in love, and those who play poker together, and those who are crying and howling with broken voices.When you are thirsty, you can fill your stomach with tap water around the square, or talk about every detail with the vendors at the stalls, blushing, and messing around.

Faust said: "According to the observation records, the situation is indeed changing. The citizens of Chernobog did give these students a lot of support in the early stage, and some workers even supported and assisted them. After all, Chernobog has already Riots occurred many times, the living conditions were quite embarrassing, and the whole city was very dissatisfied.

"But with the passage of time, many problems have emerged. The students really lack a unified and clear appeal. The citizens used to have a simple support mentality, but now they don't understand what these students want. Of course, this problem may even The students themselves can’t tell. Moreover, the images of these students themselves are not very good, and some citizens have already formed opinions, and their favorability has become cold. The phenomenon of citizens delivering food and water to students in the past has been quite rare or even extinct.”

Command suddenly interrupted Faust's narration and reported the location: "At one o'clock, at a depth of 600 meters, on a public bench!"

People moved the camera, adjusted the magnification, and watched this position nervously, thinking about what abnormal situation happened——

And saw a pair of male and female students huddled under their coats applauding for love on the bench.

Tallulah, with a reddish face, took out a bar of chocolate from her pocket, and smashed it on the back of Comand's head at the same time as Froststar's hailstone.

Then Tallulah turned her head and looked at the square with an expression like she was looking at a dry toilet that hadn't been cleaned for a whole year.

But Shuang Xing expressed his feelings directly: "What kind of shit are these city people doing..."

——The Northwest Tundra, the Southwest Front and the Northern Front are composed of dead bodies and shrapnel, and blood and fire are the themes there.In this cold and hot land, steel, gunpowder, money and blood are the hard currency. Pickets, Cossacks and imperial troops have never been as decent as the Chernobog city government.

The students can happily "struggle" here, but the Chernobog officials themselves are hesitant, and there are many nobles among the students.It's not easy to tear your face for a while.And in the ghostly places outside the mobile city, there is no large party where you can pick up girls with your skills, only Okkana, who likes to nail a wooden stick to his nails to extract confessions.

Fighting from the icy and snowy fields and the harsh winds of the northwest tundra, the fighters who lived and fought under the discipline of steel, of course could not understand this group of free-spirited guys, even though both sides theoretically had a common enemy: steel chewers How can people and people who are partying in public be fellow travelers?

Comand replied calmly: "Because they are angry, critical, and rebellious, but they are not prepared for good or bad consequences, and they don't even realize what they may face."

"Ah, I haven't heard you talking about it for a long time, and I actually started to miss it." Frost star curled her lips, "Tell me, in this city with the worst anti-infection atmosphere, how can we get rid of this group of city giants who act like a baby to the top?" What do the babies get?"

Comand replied sternly: "Disprove your own rationality."

Mephisto interjected, "Well, while just seeing these asses barking is enough to strengthen my Integralist beliefs, I think it would be better to let you speak."

"Oh, it's actually very simple. Student groups are often the vanguard of social movements, yes, but they have never been the main force of revolution. Because youth is only a biological and cultural attribute, not a class attribute. Student or youth group , After all, it is not a stable class group. They have no clear ideals, no strong discipline, no effective organization, and even a minimum consensus. What kind of strength can they have?

"Look at these people, carnival always appears in the name of 'resistance' and all kinds of nice names, but in the end it is still just a carnival. Their essence is obvious: hedonism is the first principle, and they demand instant gratification of primitive desires, avoidance Any pain, rejection of any external constraints. It’s fun, it’s cool, and then? Can this “resistance” produce meaning and value? And most importantly, what to do after the destruction? They can’t answer this question, and even think about it. have not thought."

The pair of students on the bench finished their work before realizing how many people were watching.While the two fled with their clothes wrapped in coats, the girl was still beating the boy on the head.

Comand shook his head slightly: "We feel that this group of guys are free and undisciplined. But they may not be less passionate and ideal than us. However, their actions have completely different, even diametrically opposite effects from ours. Their 'awakening', 'Rebellion', no matter what banner it uses, no matter what claims to support us or whatever 'fairness', 'freedom', 'democracy', 'justice', 'ideal', has no "heart" - no coherent belief, goals and ideals.

"So their action has become a performance art performance, much like a circus. No, at least the circus will not destroy anything. At twelve o'clock, the row of small stalls next to the toilet."

Everyone hesitated, wondering if they wanted to watch the live broadcast of some silver parties again.But this time Comand didn't do the work, it was the students of Chernobog who had overturned several stalls and were beating some of the stall owners.

After all, not just any "performance art" has an aesthetic value that allows people to temporarily put aside their standpoints and reality to watch.

Tallulah sighed in a low voice: "I have cut myself off from the people..."

Command made his own prediction: "They do have sufficient enthusiasm and courage, and they also have a general direction that is basically in line with the interests of the masses and the trend of history, but they lack accurate goals and practical plans, and they cannot prepare for the consequences of this rebellion. Responsible. Therefore, after being suppressed, they may quickly disintegrate and even return to the mainstream.”

Frost Star is a little bit watching the excitement and doesn't think it's a big deal: "How fast do you think it will be?"

"Soon. Now we have actually besieged the city and cut off its external traffic. Chernobog has a military industry and a logistics center, and there is no shortage of supplies. But it is impossible to let this situation go on if you want to defend the city If the Third Army and the city government show no sign of surrender, then at least prepare for a war. If you want to prepare for a war, then it is only a matter of time before the scene is forcibly cleared to restore order...I am a crow."

People saw that a dense array of infantry and a whole row of shining bayonets suddenly appeared at the intersection of the street; Cossack cavalry in a strict formation were also approaching.

"Happy." Comand complained in a low voice, "It turned out to be too happy."

Chapter 47 Lat is dead.jpg

If it is said that the Ursus military and police are stained with the blood of the masses every day and take pleasure in killing innocent people at all times, most of them are hearsay, spread rumors, or deliberately exaggerated the atmosphere of terror in an attempt to intensify the situation.

In the actual crackdown, these veterans of the street movement were not as bloodthirsty as one might think.Because many members of the military and police are natives of the local city, many times there are neighbors among the crowds parading on the street. If you are too heavy handed, your home will be isolated by the entire street, and it may even harm your family in serious cases.Therefore, during the suppression process, Chernobog's military and police were very measured most of the time, mainly bluffing, and occasionally finding a blind guy to drag them out to make an example of others.

But nothing is absolute.What's more, at the scene of a highly dangerous group incident like the suppression of a demonstration, where various emotions, calculations, and emergencies conflict with each other, no one can guarantee that they will always be able to deal with the immediate problems rationally without being kidnapped by emotions.

This has always been the case in the previous public events in Chernobog: the military and the police did not even escalate and escalate the situation as much as possible, while the lumpenproletarians and political groups underground armed in the crowd demonstrated peacefully. Bricks, iron rods, and Molotov cocktails were mixed in, turning things into smashing and burning, and then further developing into attacks on the military and police.

Facing the sharpened iron rods and Molotov cocktails, the police and soldiers suffered casualties one after another.Facing the turbulent crowd, the military and police dominated by fear and anger, after firing shots at the sky to no avail, naturally leveled the muzzle pointing at the sky and aimed at the crowd...

Although for the personnel of the integration movement, the performance of the citizens makes it a bit difficult for the mud legs to substitute.But speaking from righteousness and principle, it is right to support the citizens.But when everyone in the small building was watching with heavy hearts that the heavily armed soldiers were about to crush the unarmed students, something funny happened.

The cavalry lined up in a hurry on the edge of the square, and the infantry turned into the edge of the square following the password.The students in the square became agitated, like a frying pan filled with water.

The atmosphere became tense.But at this moment, a gunshot rang out in the infantry ranks.

The infantry and cavalry turned their heads and saw a cloud of thick white smoke rising from the firing of black powder somewhere in the line of infantry carrying guns on their shoulders.The sergeant ran over in a panic and slapped the daredevil who had escaped.Fortunately, when the gun was on the shoulder, the muzzle was facing the sky, and no one was hurt.

But when this episode was over, when everyone looked back, the originally crowded square was empty.There are only all kinds of garbage left on the ground - clothes, shoes, wine bottles, wrapping paper and other things, and in the distance there are students running towards the alley...

The scouts who were secretly watching from the heights of the small building could see clearly that after the gunshot, the crowd in the square surged like flowing water.The speed at which they escaped for their lives was astounding even to the commanders and fighters of the National Guards who were accustomed to guerrilla warfare: the crowds of people turned into countless small water droplets in the blink of an eye, surging in all directions, and after a few breaths, they entered the buildings in all directions and laneways.The special forces of the People's Protection Army should feel ashamed of the efficiency and speed of breaking up the whole into parts and acting separately.

As for armed suppression?Things that don't exist!Even the Cossack cavalry couldn't keep up with this group of students!

The soldiers pulled away the skirmish line with enthusiasm, and checked the potential safety hazards in the square.The scouts also hurried out of the small building and began to retreat.

"I don't think these guys are reliable." Tallulah said in a low voice.

Frost star pouted: "These guys are reliable? We might as well count on the imperial army to commit suicide."

"Stop laughing at others. It's not over yet," Comand replied. "I'm afraid this is a signal that the whole city has turned into a state of war."

**

Comand's prophecy was not wrong.As the Tribal Army began to gradually compress Chernobog's outer defenses from multiple directions, the Imperial Army also began to gradually strengthen its fists, tearing away the original "decent" painting skin for the citizens.

The whole city has turned into a wartime state, and no one is allowed to go to the streets during the curfew time; "one size fits all" to violently disperse all group activities-this is not all a student demonstration farce, for workers who do not have aristocrats mixed in, hooligans When it comes to vandalism and looting, the imperial army treats everyone equally, literally "one size fits all".Casualties were in the thousands.

Even in the end, even the "talisman" of the student group "mixed with a large number of noble children" did not work.The defense line outside the city was repeatedly hammered by the planes, tanks and cannons of the National People's Army, and it was dented little by little. The impatient Third Army directly ordered the students from those schools to be forcibly expelled from the school, and they were forcibly concentrated in a few schools to prevent them from being detained. What's up with these little bastards.

The Third Army did this kind of thing that almost broke the face of the Chernobog nobles because it was really anxious.They greatly underestimated the power of those tribunal war machines.The experience and lessons learned by the main group armies on the front line, those trench systems that were "overly complicated" and "ask for trouble" in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Third Army, were found to be too simple in actual combat.

Facing those trenches that were nothing more than muddy ditches, the Nationalist Army even added cluster bombs to the list of weapons and ammunition of the Air Force aircraft. This kind of ammunition is theoretically only suitable for attacking targets in open areas.

The reason is simple. The Third Army hardly has any construction machinery. Most of their trenches are low trenches dug by soldiers with shovels, or even foxholes that are too late to form trenches.The most important shelter is the cat's ear hole, and there are only a handful of semi-underground shelters and even deeper bomb defense holes.And their officers and soldiers were ignorant and inexperienced in taking shells, and suffered heavy casualties in the fierce blows.

Fighter-bombers and attack planes dropped cluster bombs like raindrops, instantly covering the entire company and battalion of the Imperial Army's positions in explosions; after the exposed living forces were severely killed, the survivors of the Imperial Army are now also shrunk to better concealment position, at which point the Tribal Air Force will drop the incendiary bombs again.

Among the novelties of the Tribunes, the flamethrowers and flame-breathing tanks were the most feared close-range weapons for Imperial soldiers.And a standard aviation incendiary bomb can create a sea of ​​flames that is more terrifying than an entire chemical defense company!

The sub-munition of an air-dropped incendiary bomb can be filled with 1.5 kg of napalm, an air-dropped incendiary bomb can be filled with forty sub-munitions, and a fighter-bomber or attack aircraft is enough to mount four to six air-dropped incendiary bombs.As for an aviation brigade of the Civilian Army, 24 aircraft are enough to create [-] fire points at one time, enveloping an entire regiment-level position of the Imperial Army.

The scorching stream of fire bloomed in all directions on the position, and every second there were incendiary bullets and ammunition creating fire points.The high-temperature cyclone swept around, rolling all kinds of soil, cloth, and meat debris into the air; the burning fire creek followed the terrain and flowed into the trenches of the Imperial Army that did not even have drainage ditches...

First use cluster bombs to maximize the damage to unprotected targets, then use napalm incendiary bombs to further eliminate the remaining enemy forces hiding in the bunkers. At the same time, use the high temperature generated by the burning of napalm to detonate cluster bombs that did not explode due to fuse malfunctions and other reasons. (Cluster bombs have a large number of submunitions, and the fuze is small in size, so unexploded bombs are inevitable).After the flames extinguished, the mechanized troops would break through the defense line, and the follow-up motorized infantry would sweep the battlefield and follow up. This was the way the Protectorate Army dealt with the diggers of the Third Army.

Standing deadly can only stay on the ground, and cannot even cause the enemy much less damage than one's own casualties.What about the backlash?

Unwilling to be burned alive, Ursus soldiers launched counterattacks again and again.Regardless of the scale of the platoon or division, they fought one after another regardless of the cost, and were torn to pieces time and time again by dense machine guns, overwhelming artillery fire, and raindrops of aerial bombs.A large number of imperial soldiers shouted "Long live the emperor", and charged at the tribunals who were close at hand with bayonets. In most cases, they would only turn into piles of mutilated corpses in front of the impenetrable firepower net. .

Yes, the Third Army had enough troops to hold every line of defense close to Chernobog.But they have no effective technology, tactics and weapons at all.The whole regiment went up to the top, but it fell apart within a few hours.For a week of bitter fighting starting in early March, not a single hub in the outer defense zone of Chernobog was pulled out.On the afternoon of March [-], the Tribunes finally smashed all the blocking lines of the Imperial Army outside the city and surrounded Chernobog.The Tribal Army scouts only need to climb onto a small mound, and they can see the moving city in the distance without binoculars.

At the same time, the Third Army, which had shrunk all kinds of remnants into the city of Chernobog, was dying.The living order of the residents of Chernobog has been completely declared over. All municipal services have ceased to function, telephone and telegraph communications have been interrupted, theaters, cinemas, and amusement parks have all been closed, and restaurants and bars are no longer open.

The Third Army frantically replenished the previously disabled troops.Chernobog made an urgent last-ditch effort to save himself.Although there is no effective aviation and armored units, the Third Army has filled a large number of old people, boys, and soldiers who are not suitable for active service due to injuries and illnesses into the army, and restored to a scale of 12 people, which is basically full.

However, the current Imperial Army units have limited training, low combat effectiveness, and a serious shortage of heavy weapons and communication equipment.People were mostly conscripted into the army, and those who disobeyed the order were executed in public long ago, so morale was low.Just relying on Chernobog's military enterprises and large stocks, the supply of light weapons is still sufficient.

The only good news is that the only position left for the imperial army to guard is the urban area, which is full of troops.These troops consisted of a small number of battle-hardened veterans as the core, and a large number of recruits who had received certain training as the main force, which gave the Imperial Army commanders the manpower to establish a continuous line of defense.

The urban area of ​​Chernobog has 3 circular defense lines, which are further divided into 9 defense zones; the central defense zone, including government and administrative agencies such as the city government and the city core tower, has adopted thorough defense measures.All defensive positions are connected by an integrated communication system, and the passages at the bottom of the mobile city module are also used to conceal the actions of troops.

The Tribal Army now faced a very disgusting prospect: first they had to cross the mobile city chassis tens of meters high, and then rushed into several well-strength enemy lines in the urbanized terrain, and had to constantly fight to break through.This prospect is extremely unpleasant.

为了以尽可能小的损失和连带破坏解放切尔诺伯格，切尔诺伯格方面军集中了大批力量，仅一线战斗人员的总人数就超过30万人。使用125MM滑膛炮的“犀牛”主战坦克；使用T-55坦克底盘，装备152MM加农榴弹炮或160MM重型迫击炮的SU-152、SU-160重装甲突击炮；甚至使用犀牛坦克底盘，装备203MM榴弹炮的SU-203重装甲突击炮悉数登场。

The tribunal's joint logistics force raised supplies for the capture of the city, and commanders worked hard to prepare the troops for the final battle.The urban combat experience imprinted by the troops was distributed to the entire front army. Each motorized infantry division formed a special unit to train street combat. The leaders were all backbones who had participated in the liberation of mobile cities in the past.For a limited time, siege forces conducted specialized training to hone their skills in street and night combat; divisions pre-formed large numbers of small combined-arms battlegroups and combat teams—officially known as Assault Detachments and Assault Detachments. The group is specially used for street fighting.

Before the offensive started, the Tribal Army also carried out a large-scale professional support operation.The reconnaissance aircraft carried out 6 aerial photographic reconnaissances of the Chernobog city area and defensive deployments.On the basis of aerial photographs, captured documents, and statements from prisoners, the Tribune intelligence analysts produced detailed charts and maps, which were distributed to all commanders and staff officers.The engineering troops of the Chernobog Front carefully studied all kinds of information. In order to smoothly enter the mobile city and cross the 30-meter-high chassis, the troops prepared a large number of professional engineering equipment, including but not limited to armored bridge vehicles system.

The various armies of the Nationalist Army completed in a very short period of time: changing the direction to encircle the city, sending supplies and artillery to maintain the attack, reorganizing the assault force into a small-scale composite unit of various arms suitable for urban combat, and preparing to carry bridges and break obstacles equipment.Doing all this while facing the fierce resistance of the opponent shows that the staff and coordination work of the Nationalist Army is very good, and they have already done it with ease, which is completely unmatched by the Imperial Army.

However, these alone are not enough.Chernobog is turning into a maze of street fighting.The imperial army built barricades, set up obstacles, and set up ambushes.From the high-rises in the urban area to the bottom of the module, there are defensive deployments.A purely military attack will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

This shows another advantage of the integration movement: the city defense fortification map was sent twice by two independent intelligence channels; the head of the logistics department of the Third Army was already an underground worker of the integration movement. Find out and send out the deployment of the city defense force, and prepare to keep the entire Chernoborg military warehouses, military depots and supplies, and hand them over to the National Guard in good condition.

At the same time, the Atlas underground forces lurking in Chernobyl also started operations.Their main task was to assault the "sarcophagus" and escort Rhodes Island to rescue the VIP code-named "Doctor"; but as a secondary task, Comand gave Mephistopheles and Faust a new task:

"Our army's attack plan is to attack from east to west and attack the center of the city. Peterheim Senior High School is not only located near the main road of the city, but also has a large number of detained students.

"Your task is to adapt to the situation there and use all means to assist the main force in attacking the city!"

Chapter 48 Truth and Winter

Today, March 1095th, 3... is the day after being escorted into Peterheim High School by soldiers of the Imperial Army.

Anna Morozova, a female high school student, walks cautiously under the school fence.Then he stopped suddenly: a sound of heavy footsteps came from not far away, and it sounded like there were at least five or six people.The diminutive girl was taken aback.

The image of the Imperial Army in the hearts of Ursus students has changed from awe-based to disgust-based.Moreover, everyone is under house arrest here as "prisoners", and of course they have a lot of opinions when facing the "prison guards".

The girl wearing a monocle tightened the short brown burqa around her body.It didn't cover the blue coat and white sweater inside at all, and the lower body of the girls' school uniform also had a black skirt that was too short, and underneath were tube socks and leather shoes, with half of the thighs and knees exposed.If it weren't for the Ursus people, they would be dressed like this in the beginning of March in Ursas, and they would be a little sick from the cold.

The Imperial Army only stipulated that this group of students must stay in the school, and they were never allowed to leave the wall.Ursus Middle School students from several schools were stuffed into Peterheim Middle School by the Imperial Army like meat in a can.The Imperial Army did not waste too much precious manpower on managing the students at all.

These students are a mixed bag, and there are a large number of associations or gangs inside.As a result, the environment in the school has become a "jungle" where a large number of student gangs compete for survival resources.

Anna and her partners are not good at fighting, neither the ability nor the intention to actively bully others.The severe cold at night made everyone eager to sleep in the main teaching building tonight.However, other gangs are firmly guarding the nearby doors. If you want to pass, you must exchange bread or money.

Everyone was alone, unable to get in or get "hard currency", so they had to find a place to spend the night outside.Today, Anna was in charge of the investigation, but she encountered this kind of thing by the somewhat damaged wall, and fell into a dilemma.
