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

At 1095 hours on March 3, 15, the Chernobog Front was in deep position.

The USS Rhode Island is now brightly lit and noisy with people.Although its combat effectiveness is not as high as that of a pharmaceutical company that uses test tubes for research, but Rhodes Island's home, this land-ship is indeed a large hospital after all.

On the road following the westward advance of the Chernobog Front Army, Rhodes Island is indeed mainly responsible for the military health system, and is one of the rear hospitals of the entire Chernobog Front Army.At the height of the fighting, there was an endless stream of Tribune vehicles and planes transporting the wounded here, and Rhode Island's medical system was thus subjected to unprecedented severe tests.During the siege period when the battle slowed down, Rhodes Island transferred most of its wounded to other hospitals, and suspended the medical services for the Tribal Army.

At this moment, the ground crew of the aviation department have completed the final preparations and dragged the "Bad Guy" and "Good Boy" tilt-rotor aircraft onto the aviation deck.Commandos taking part in the operation were in the briefing room listening to the final intelligence.

The tribune intelligence staff officer stationed in Rhodes Island is making his final report:

"Through various methods such as ground observation posts and aerial photography, we have achieved comprehensive records of the defense deployment of the entire city of Chernobyl. In addition to multiple drones and aviation reconnaissance groups, our army also invested in observation balloons to establish a Complete real-time inspection of Chernobog depth.

"Now, we have just finalized the landing area for this airborne assault—Peterheim Middle School. The main action group will land here, and then take the armored vehicle to the sarcophagus. The rest of the groups will follow the plan to contain the enemy on the periphery and support action.

"According to our army's combat plan, everything from Peterheim Middle School to the sarcophagus will be controlled by our army's special operations unit and rebel forces. If all goes well, the operation team will not encounter combat. But I suggest you prepare for battle."

The intelligence staff officer looked seriously at the Rhode Island officers on their seats: "Everyone, my sense of responsibility compels me to remind you again: What will happen in Chernobog is not a gang fight, nor can the militarized police suppress it. The city's citizens and infected rioted, but it was a major battle in the great power total war.

"It is not a humanitarian rescue in a dangerous area, it is not a medical aid or a test that can be expanded and contracted at will. It is a desperate struggle that will be carried out with all possible means to win a decisive victory. 36 militia commanders and fighters will fight against the enemy with 12 cannons, The attack was supported by rockets and heavy mortars, [-] tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, and the defenders numbered [-].

"The nearly 50 troops will fight desperately in Chernobog. Chernobog is likely to become a hell on earth, and you will face an unprecedented difficult environment. Please be mentally prepared. I have finished speaking, I wish you Good luck to you."

The young staff officer saluted the operators. Instructor Dupin stood up and returned the salute. Everyone looked at him with solemn eyes.Immediately afterwards, people poured out of the briefing room, went to the equipment room to put on equipment, received weapons and ammunition, and then walked onto the aviation deck.The whirling propellers made people's clothes and hair flutter in the strong wind.

At the same time, the four armies of the Chernobog Front responsible for launching the first echelon of the attack ushered in the last moments before the attack.

In the previous stages of the battle, the imperial army was so beaten that they did not dare to step out of the city wall. The continuous artillery battle and air strikes destroyed most of the heavy weapons on the city walls and forts.So the militiamen advanced the front line so much that 82 mortars could hit the city wall.The planning and preparations for the attack on Chernobog have been in full swing for a week.Elite armies are pouring into assault positions more and more closely, tanks and infantry are crowding the frontline areas, and there are more and more artillery pieces hidden under camouflage nets or hidden in the woods day by day.

Artillery is crucial when attacking a well-defended city.Thanks to the simple combat principle of "quantity is quality" of the artillery of the Nationalist Army, coupled with the arduous and complicated combat tasks, the artillery support received by the siege troops gradually became outrageous: in order to ensure the capture of those peripheral movements that were entirely converted into defensive positions In the city block, the main attack area of ​​just a few kilometers, every kilometer of the city wall will be bombarded by [-] to [-] artillery pieces, rocket launchers and heavy mortars.

Each infantry regiment of the first echelon is supported by 4 to 5 artillery regiments from the divisional artillery group and the supporting artillery group, and the regimental artillery group itself has 70 artillery pieces.The army artillery groups controlled by the commanders of each group army also have heavy artillery with a caliber of 203 mm or even larger.

The commanders and fighters of the National People's Army gathered together to listen to the pre-war mobilization of political and industrial cadres, held pre-war party group meetings, inspected weapons and equipment, refueled tanks, loaded magazines, adjusted thousands of cannons and mortars, and confirmed battle plan.Despite the busy and heavy work going on, the Imperials noticed hardly any unusual noises or lights.The entire front seemed to be just a crawling scout, rustling out of natural concealment and camouflage.

In the darkness, the activists who applied to join the party on the front line began their own rituals and prepared to be tested in the next battle.Chernobog Front Army Commander Rokossovsky and several group army commanders conducted a final inspection of the troops, and finally sat down, drinking tea and waiting for the moment of attack.

At the same time, Mephisto, who spent the night on guard by chatting, stood up and looked towards the west side of the city: "You have already made me feel ashamed. I never think I am great. A volley from an artillery battalion It makes me feel so small."

Lin Dong curled her lips: "I said you are fat and you are still panting. I don't believe it..."

Three red flares suddenly rose from the west of the city, and at this moment, at 1905 hours on March 3, 15, the shelling began.

Thousands of cannons, rocket launchers, and mortars opened fire simultaneously.The muzzle flash, tracer bullets and rocket tail flames turned the side of the sky that was still at night into a second sunrise.

Mephisto turned around and spread his hands towards the horrified high school students.Li Dong wanted to say something, but bursts of gunfire and explosions filled the air, like throbbing rolling thunder; the screams of shells breaking through the air soon mixed in, and various noises covered the entire Chernobog.It was impossible for her to utter a word.

The artillery fire attack lasted for 25 minutes. 215000 artillery shells, rockets and heavy mortar shells fell into the fortified areas outside Chernobog, connecting the ground and the sky with a huge smoke wall with no visible edges on the left and right. .

At 0650 hours, the artillery fire suddenly stopped.Observation posts of the Imperial Army noticed that the armored vehicles and infantry of the Tribunes had begun to move forward.The officers and soldiers of the Third Group mistakenly believed that this was the main attack, so they rushed out of the deep cover in the underground layer of the mobile city and occupied the shooting positions on the surface and outer walls.But another round of 10-minute shelling roared in, catching the imperial army caught off guard.

With the completion of a rocket salvo at 0700 hours, the fire preparations came to an end.

At the attack starting position below Chernobog, at the moment when the hour hand turned to 7, Major General Berkonsky was holding his watch and his excitement was palpable.He shouted into the microphone, "Comrades, follow me!" and then punched the driver of his armored vehicle on the shoulder.The young man shivered in fright, and then stepped on the accelerator suddenly.

The engine roared out the most powerful heavy metal music, making the fighters who had been conditioned by "manliness" for a whole week happy.The armored vehicles climbed out of the concealed position with a roar, and accelerated to over 60 kilometers per hour in just a few seconds, bringing out long snow and fog.Imperial soldiers hiding in Chernobog's crude "fortress" could see a large white snow wave without binoculars.The turbulent waves on the snow field made them sound the alarm in horror, announcing to the whole city that the attack of the tribunes had begun.

However, the first contact was not the surging iron current on the land, but the god of death in the sky.

Shortly after taking off, the "Bad Guy" tilt-rotor aircraft followed the command of the air control unit of the Chernobog Front and joined the group of militia helicopters that were forming a formation.

Rhode Island's small aviation department has always been proud of its vehicles: when some guys didn't fix their biplanes, they were flying tiltrotors!Even if they encountered the civil protection army Army Aviation with both technical level and scale, everyone dared to go up and laugh at their speed.

But this kind of frivolous behavior has to be restrained in the face of "double blades".

The Ka-65 "Double Blade" armed helicopter has a total combat weight of 36 tons and can carry nine tons of ammunition.There are six external hardpoints and two wingtip hardpoints under its wide wings; there are also many options for fixed weapons, and the most important ones are two 45MM cannons.In addition to having powerful firepower and a defense comparable to that of a light tank, this monster with two side-by-side staggered propellers and a ducted booster propeller at the rear can reach a top speed of 450 kilometers per hour.The transport-type double blades with the same frame can lift 35 tons of cargo when fully loaded, or a reinforced platoon of elite soldiers, which can be regarded as an intuitive manifestation of its strong power.

The group of helicopters formed a formation with dizzying movements over the airport, and finally turned into a few neat dots.They flew to the predetermined waypoint at the specified time, spread out in front of the walls of Chernobog, and rushed to their respective targets.

The group of helicopters that followed the "Bad Guy" consisted of more than ten helicopters of various types.Everyone looked through the portholes silently, looking at the guns and ammunition on the double blades or the light tanks hanging below.It was not until they approached the target location that everyone heard a short report on the communication channel:

"'Hunter' calls 'Phantom', the lead drone has spotted the enemy in the 'X-Ray' landing zone."

"'Phantom' calls 'Hunter', the plan remains unchanged, we will solve the problem in a moment."

At the same time, Mephistopheles was looking at the gate of Peterheim Middle School through the gap in the curtains: a whole company of Ursus soldiers were rushing in with shouts, which could not be said to be marching or unfolding. battle formation.The crowd was crowded and swarming. If it weren't for the rifles in their hands, at first glance, it would look like high school students rushing towards the cafeteria.

The number of people is more than three times that of the red team.

But it was a pity that the Ursas soldiers only had single-shot rifles, while the [-] members of the red team had more than ten machine guns, including two lightweight large-caliber machine guns.

As Faust removed his optical camouflage projection, the Ursus soldiers who rushed over stopped in unison, looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of them.

Wow, it turned out to be four full-suit rich male machine gunners of Sarkaz wearing "human wolf" armor-enhanced powered exoskeletons!With full armor on their bodies, a mobile phone in their hands, a grenade at their waist, and a backpack with bullet chains on their backs, they are known to be the best among the minced meat light infantry!Looking at these four men, to the imperial army recruits who only have fire sticks, French fries are more terrifying, more terrifying than a billion middle school gangsters!

The only pity is that although power armor is no longer a rare thing in the Civilian Army.But the red team in charge of infiltration is obviously not suitable for that kind of oversized thing, so these guys who only have armor-enhanced powered exoskeleton can't be named "Canned Four".

Even so, as one of the best elite fighters in the Kazdel Defense Force, each of them has their own unique skills, and their fighting spirit and patience are amazing. The secret weapon "Teresia's chainsaw" "What a surprise!

Before the Ursus infantry shouted "Help me!" to anyone, the Sarkaz wolves suddenly appeared in front of them, and the red team's machine gun team hidden in the building pulled the trigger together.The 42X201MM rifle bullets of the MG7.62 and 41 general-purpose machine guns supplied by Taira Special, and the 171X12.7MM machine gun bullets of the 108 lightweight large-caliber machine gun were spilled at the same time, forming a steel storm.

Ten seconds later, RED's Heavy gunners release their triggers.And that imperial army company no longer exists, and only a piece of minced flesh that has begun to take shape remains in their original place.

The soldiers of the imperial army outside the wall who had not had time to rush in were taken aback.But before they had time to figure out what was going on, let alone make the next move, a group of huge, fierce, heavily armed or cargo-carrying helicopters appeared above their heads, playing a fast-paced melody. "Fortunate Son"......

A torrential rain of bullets poured down in the blink of an eye.They come from the 12.7MM Gatling gun pod of the armed helicopter - there is no way, the battle in Chernobog City is like fighting mice in a china shop, naturally in addition to the big killer, you also have to bring some small ones.

The machine gun fire opened up all the streets around the Peterheim Secondary School, and clusters of Imperial Army officers and soldiers were wrapped in it and torn apart.The bullet casings fell like hailstones, and the hundreds of meters of projectile stream cut life wantonly, and the roar almost suppressed the roar of the helicopter engine.Mephisto spotted a platoon of Imperial soldiers firing rifles at the helicopter in the distance.As soon as the machine gun bullets passed by, none of them could stand.

As the transport team arrived, the "Double Blade" helicopters immediately poured smoke bombs around the middle school.The pilots put down three armored vehicles, and the infantrymen jumped on the playground of Peterheim secondary school in the instant the helicopter landed with a touch away.

In the blink of an eye, the militia commanders and fighters completed their landing, and the Rhode Island operators stood on the playground of Peterheim Middle School.The armed helicopters overhead were still faithfully performing their missions, guarding the surroundings of the school, with densely packed pipes facing the ground.

Mephisto had rushed to the edge of the landing zone like a whirlwind.He found the airborne infantry company commander who was in charge of defending Peterheim, threw him the defensive deployment and Winter who followed him, briefly completed the handover, and then ran to the three armored vehicles—they were different from the low ones. The BMP is large and sturdy, and is a brand new heavy infantry fighting vehicle.

In the hatch that was slowly opened, a tall figure like the Iron God of War was exposed to the sunlight.Guns and swords with exaggerated caliber and size are held in his hands, and the thick armor firmly protects his whole body.They were all over two meters tall, and each step left a deep footprint, and the lawn was trampled horribly.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

A huge iron wall is advancing steadily, steel tramples the earth, and giants look down on all living beings.

But Mephisto calmly waved to the leader of the tribal guards, the largest iron man: "Hi, Mr. Patriot, long time no see."

A vicissitudes voice came from under the deer head-shaped mask: "Ah, it's grown so big, Ino."

"Yes, this time we have to fight side by side." He simply waved his hand, then turned and ran towards Rhodes Island, "Little donkey, bah, Bunny!"

Amiya and Dubin turned their heads, showing surprised expressions.

"Get into those cars, let's go to the 'Sarcophagus'!"

Chapter 56 Beginning of the original

The Guards of the Tribal Army are well equipped, such as powerful heavy-duty power armor and supporting weapons.Like the heavy infantry fighting vehicles they equip, they are bulky in order to accommodate the huge shield guards, so the cabin is much more spacious than the BMP.

The armor comparable to that of a medium-sized tank makes the Rhode Island operators in it quite safe; the large-size display screen directly installed on the bulkhead and the photoelectric probe embedded in the car shell replace the observation mirror and periscope, with clear picture quality and wide field of view Wide, so that everyone can see all kinds of things outside.

So you see all sorts of things:

"Boom boom boom!"

The imperial army transformed the building guarding the intersection into a defensive point.The shield guards directly called the "Double Blades" of the overhead escort for support.Several armed helicopters plunged down, the rocket nest whizzed, and bunches of aviation rockets whizzed over, covering the whole building in flashes of lightning. After just one or two minutes, the building became thousands of miles away. It is riddled with holes, and the outer walls are incomplete, revealing the interior of one room after another.The high-explosive incendiary charge set fire everywhere, and the fish that slipped through the net had no choice but to jump downstairs with a whole body of fire, and turned into half-baked roast meat in the scream of "ah--".

"Everything!"

Even the 14.5mm or even 23mm rifles of the tribal guards are closer to armored vehicles than infantry in terms of firepower and mobility.They gave up their heavy step battle to the Rhode Island operators, then got out of the car and ran, and they never fell behind—or rather, they kept forming around the heavy step battle, protecting the vehicle and breaking through the defense.

The guards of the tribal army emphasized on the one hand protecting the vehicles, and on the other hand they must ensure the speed.So along the way, he almost unrestrainedly displayed his destructive power, completely ignoring the wreckage and corpses everywhere he passed.The firepower of the armored rifle directly shattered the sandbag wall and the wall, and the people inside were also torn apart.

All enemies faced by this small army are crumbling at the touch of a button.Crash street fighting skills have become a joke when facing gunships, heavy infantry fighting vehicles and heavy power armor.Squads have the fearsome double-blade priority cover, and the defense and mobility of the Shield Guards far exceeds that of regular infantry.Bullets vainly knocked sparks off armored vehicles and power armor, and explosives sent harmless clouds of dust through the formation of the shield guards.Their armored rifles were powerful enough to shatter any cover and those behind it, while programmable grenades exploded in the air on top of barricades or inside windows, sending out a storm of fragments.

Of course, the shield guards of the tribal army will strictly abide by the discipline - for example, preferential treatment of prisoners, but there is no room for dealing with prisoners in operations behind the enemy.So everyone's solution is to use saturated firepower to kill all the enemies before they surrender, or force them to flee.The shield guards shot incendiary bombs into the firepower points and buildings one by one, causing a series of fires. The burnt imperial army screamed and escaped from the building, and was shot to death in an instant; simple obstacles were smashed by armored vehicles. Dash away, and the more solid barriers are blown up by the Demoman.They wiped out every firepower point together with people and buildings.Scorched earth and dead bodies littered the path of the small convoy.

In the blink of an eye, the imperial army that had resisted with all its might was strewn with corpses.The shield guards always shot the more complete corpses lying on the road, making sure that they were not pretending to be dead and trying to blast the infantry tanks.Rhode Island officers heard the sound of tracks crushing bones in the car, and saw young girls, teenagers holding grenades tightly, and old men holding old-fashioned rifles among the crushed bodies.They didn't even have uniforms, just improvised armbands.

Dead bodies of the same type were hung from roadside trees and light poles with simple words or sentences written in Ursat: "Deserter", "Traitor", "I stand with the red beast", "I secretly communicated Reunification Movement”—that’s the “Citizen Stormtroopers” where anyone from the age of 12 to 70 can be conscripted, given armbands and crude weapons in the afternoon, and executed in the evening for “acts of cowardice.”The Third Army established mobile overseers behind the front lines, and the most die-hard royalists were responsible for searching for and executing deserters.

Sometimes, the convoy will encounter teams with the same messy clothes but with red cloth strips tied around their arms.Their composition is very messy, including workers' armed forces under the command of the integration movement, members of the underground party, and officers and soldiers of the rebel imperial army.The vast majority of them were also ununiformed, a typical garb of workers or townspeople, carrying an assortment of untidy weapons.Unlike the subject stormtroopers, they were mostly either dominant or not under attack - the chain of command of the Chernobog garrison was in utter disarray and they were ignored.

The insurrectionists cheered on the armored vehicles painted with the insignia of the Lottery Army.The shield guards basically did not communicate with them unless the rebels needed help.Basically, it only takes a few rounds of shooting from the shield guards, and the Imperial Army detachment currently fighting the rebels will fall apart.

The journey along the way can only be described as overwhelming.

In an instant, the convoy stopped in front of the huge concrete structure.

**

Amiya led the medical team and walked quietly in the dark corridor.The lighting in the building is only at a minimum, and everyone's boots make a splashing sound on the ground, and sometimes they step on something soft...

"Ah, I'm sorry, we just finished the battle." Command, who was leading the way, used the medium powered armor helmet light to fill in the light. "We just cleared out the corpses. At most, I made sure you didn't trip. As for the blood and minced meat, please be patient. "

Tallulah, who took off the "Thor's Hammer" helmet, was waiting at the exit of the corridor.Comand turned off the helmet light as he walked out of the hallway, and a heavy voice came from the PA grill: "What's up?"

Tallulah pointed to several corpses in black trench coats placed in the corner: "Those internal guards have dealt with them, using plasma to disinfect them and anti-demon exorcism. As for the enemies blocked in the basement -"

Tallulah snapped her fingers, but the flexible inner lining of Thor's Hammer power armor also covered her fingers, so the snap didn't happen.

However, there was a slight tremor under everyone's feet.That was the result of a high-temperature deflagration fireball appearing in a confined space.

Tallulah rubbed her thumb and index finger: "It's solved now anyway."

Amiya pursed her lips and looked at the corpses of inner guards in a row: "That's..."

"Inner Guard of the Ursus Empire, the 'Emperor's Blade'." Standing up from the silly dog ​​leaning against the corner, the captain of the Space Marines walked to the Rhodes Island operators with heavy steps, "Keep an eye on the sarcophagus and your VIP's Quite a lot of guys. It took a lot of effort to clear the field here."

Amiya lowered her voice: "Those internal guards are not..."

"Yes, the special and extraordinary troops of the Ursus Empire have outstanding courage and combat power. Instead of surrendering when encountering us, they dared to fight back."

Rhodes Island operators looked at the sword marks on Hangou's breastplate.In my mind, I was complaining about a certain Astartes Captain's ability to show off, and he was very good at showing off in an understatement; at the same time, he lamented that the Ursus internal guards were really not easy to mess with: they could actually hurt the Astartes. !

Comand handed over the tactical tablet: "The enemy's situation and sanitary conditions have been done. You can start at any time."

Seeing people in black and blue uniforms surrounding the box-like object in the center of the hall, Command turned around and walked to Silly Dog: "The place where dreams begin."

The silly dog ​​laughed lowly: "That's not true."

"Ah, you guys are talking again that others don't understand." Tallulah next to her shook her head.

"That's not important." Hangou replied, "The death watch team has tracked all the way from Tachinskaya Airport, and now I can be sure that these internal guards are going to block us. If you come in and guard yourself, you will be transferred here. A lot of soldiers."

"Oh, those killers don't seem to be as loyal as they claim." Tallulah sneered, "And directly formed a highly independent and unrestrained political force at the top of the Ursus Empire."

Command looked at the body of the inner guard lying on the ground: "And there are differences among the inner guards. Not everyone thinks that the integration movement is more suitable to lead Ursus."

"So the secret battle in the shadows has always been fierce." Han Gou replied with great schadenfreude. "Look at the Blood Angel kid in the team who overturned and let the inner guard stab his neck with his sword. Then he rewarded the other side's waist. Two explosive bombs were fired, and he pulled out the sword from his neck. But the group of inner guards were scared enough..."

"Of course, Astartes is a literal superman!" Commander smiled playfully, then suddenly became serious, "The coffin is open."
