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

These heavily armored gadgets have played an unprecedented role in destroying the enemy's firepower points that have been discovered before.The Imperial Army arranged a lot of new things in the tower body, such as anti-aircraft machine guns and light machine guns.When the infantry and armored vehicles of the Tribal Army had just appeared and had not yet formed their formation against the core tower, the fierce firepower damaged several armored vehicles in succession, causing the accompanying infantry to suffer considerable casualties.

Then tanks and assault guns arrived.

Then the officers and soldiers of the imperial army knew that the tower body of the core tower was not indestructible.For example, a 203MM howitzer loaded with time-delay fuze concrete destruction bombs is enough to directly tear the outer wall of the core tower; even if the 160MM heavy mortar shells and 152MM high-explosive shells cannot penetrate the outer wall, they can be shocked to death with a shock wave and the point of impact is separated by an entire surface The soldiers on the wall; as for the countless machine guns and cannons of the red heads, as well as the medium-caliber guns with a fairly fast rate of fire, they can also effectively block the firing holes.

Following the order of the commander of the 150th Division, tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery fired at the core tower one after another, and even towed artillery joined them.The infantrymen fired even more violently, and several companies at the front of the position opened fire at the same time. Individual automatic weapons, large-caliber machine guns, machine guns, bazookas, and mortars weaved a torrential fire net in an instant.

The sharp and whistling metal storm covered the core tower, and every position that was spouting flames or that might become a firepower point was covered.The fierce firepower formed a firepower net without any gaps, and the bullets and shrapnel were so hot that they almost burned.

When the core tower was shrouded in gunpowder smoke, dust and smoke, Colonel Shadilov ordered an attack.

The surging tanks and armored vehicles rushed out of the starting point of the attack and rushed towards the core tower billowing with gunpowder.

Chapter 63 Destruction

When armored vehicles drove through the square densely covered with large and small bomb craters and wreckage debris, they looked like fruits fluttering in the wind on the branches of their hometown in the Northwest Tundra.If it were a pampered noble young master squatting in the cabin, he would have to vomit, and then smoke the people in the same car to their knees.

But the people sitting in this armored vehicle are all veterans who have experienced many battles.Everyone is leisurely, holding automatic rifles and waiting for the order to leave the car.

The top door and tailgate were all open, and the large-caliber machine gun on the roof was firing fiercely under the control of an infantryman.At the forefront are several "Rhino" tanks painted with the Kazdel military emblem. The infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers have all retreated to the second line, allowing the T-72 tanks to clear the way.

The tank has thick armor, strong firepower, and quick movements. It cannot be defeated by ordinary firepower.Several windows, doorways, and holes left by shells on the lower floors of the building again fired rifle fire and assault techniques, but they were apparently of little use against the tanks.

A whole row of 125MM smoothbore tank guns fired fiercely, spewing muzzle flash and smoke and dust larger than the entire tank.The Kazdare tank fired continuously while moving, accurately sending the shells into the windows and door openings.The high-explosive armor-piercing projectile of the Rhino tank roared, and the cobalt penetrated deep into the core tower before exploding.Waves of dust and fire continued to pour out of those breaches, and faint screams could be heard from them.

Tank guns, machine guns on various armored vehicles, infantry's various light cannons and light and heavy machine guns were overwhelming firepower, pressing down on the bottom of the core tower.Even at a distance of nearly a hundred meters, people could still feel the vibrations of the explosion.The core tower gate has become a sea of ​​fire.The front of the ground floor is also riddled with holes.The gunners stared at every opening in the tower and hit wherever the flames came out.

The main entrance of the core tower is a toothache.The main entrance of the building is nearly ten meters above the ground of the square, and the horizontal distance from the bottom of the steps to the gate is also more than ten meters.This slope, tanks can't rush up, let alone infantry fighting vehicles.But to rush into the building, this is already the most feasible passage.

Three Kazdel tanks approached the bottom of the steps, blasting streams of shells and machine gun bullets into the core tower doors.At this time, the infantry fighting vehicle behind had also stopped behind the tank.Before the car stopped, the soldiers had already jumped out and rushed up the tall steps.

The infantry chariot retreats, keeping a little distance from the building, and it is also for hitting enemies at a higher position.At the same time, the follow-up infantry fighting vehicles began to put down the infantry, and the infantry who followed on foot also came to the skirmish line of armored vehicles.

The red iron flowed up the steps and poured into the heart of Chernobog.

At the same time, two Stormraven gunboats passed by the top of the core tower.Talula and Frost Star immediately stood up on the top of the tower, commanding the assault team to rush into the tower.

The enemies blocked in the foyer were caught red-handed by tank guns, and the sea of ​​people was beaten into a sea of ​​corpses and blood.The commanders and fighters of the assault group rushed through the sandbag wall densely covered with corpses and the bunker wall with bullet holes, and rushed into the hall on the first floor.

The battle at the bottom of the core tower is fierce and brutal: the terrain is highly complex, and the defenders have made targeted deployments for possible attack routes.Although the troops guarding the core tower are patchwork, ranging from the personal soldiers of the mayor Earl Boris, the city defense troops of Chernobog to the field troops of the Third Army, and even the guard of honor and sailors who lost their land ships, But the number of machine guns and automatic weapons of all kinds is staggering.Moreover, the miscellaneous defenders are all stubborn diehards, otherwise they would not take the initiative to retreat to the core tower.

On the offensive side, these assault groups composed of party members and volunteers among the members are also the backbone with the most firm stand and the best quality in the Civil Protection Army.Facing the parapet of the hall on the first floor and the pouring machine gun fire from the second floor above the hall, the commandos who were blocked in the porch were not afraid, and stepped forward one after another.

The use of indoor rocket launchers and recoilless rifles is greatly restricted.The strike group commanders first released smoke grenades, and then the fire team used light large-caliber machine guns and grenade launchers to bombard them; while the combat engineers relied on their thick power armor to directly engage the enemy's fire points.The assault team simply followed all the cover they could get and attacked from both sides of the hall.

A torrent of automatic fire exchanged bullets.But the balance began to tip in favor of the attackers as combat sappers blasted point after point of fire with their armored rifles.The assault team finally reached the large symmetrical circular staircase at the end of the hall.

Although the ground floor was cleared, the commandos discovered that a large number of Imperial Army officers and soldiers were guarding the basement and the upper floors.Whether up or down, there are hordes of enemies.The imperial army immediately launched a counterattack. Soldiers rushed out of the stairs and basement, and were torn to pieces again and again by intensive automatic fire and explosives.

What's even crazier is that the Tribal Army directly called the artillery outside the tower to shoot at the core tower.As the heavy artillery on the square sprayed huge dagger-shaped flames, 203MM concrete destruction bombs smashed through the outer wall, and various high-explosive bombs exploded on higher floors.Everything was submerged in dust and gunpowder smoke, and the entire core tower was trembling and shaking.As dust and floor fragments poured from overhead, someone on the comm channel of the Trinity strike group shouted: "The building is still being bombed! We will suffer too!"

The roar of Captain Reznov, the commander of the assault group, immediately poured into everyone's ears: "Then strangle the enemy's neck and die with them!"

Colonel Zinchenko, head of the 756th Motorized Infantry Regiment, personally led the reserve team into the core tower for support; the crazy shelling killed the enemy reserve team that was rushing downstairs, and the battle situation finally stabilized.The Tribal Army commandos immediately began to counterattack.The combat engineers in heavy power armor took the lead, rushing to the second floor while crushing the marble steps.There was nothing the Imperial machine gunners and submachine gunners could do, and they were forced to abandon the top of the stairs.

When Major Neustroyev organized a strike group to attack the second floor of the core tower, Colonel Zinchenko summoned Reznov and Dimitri in the smoky foyer of the core tower and had a brief conversation A few words, and then tell them in kind words: "Okay, comrades, go, raise the red flag!"

Everyone in the battalion knew that Reznov and Dimitri were going to carry the red flag to the top of the core tower.The vanguard combat engineers used anti-tank grenades to blast open the advance passage and shuttled through the second level, but there were still many stubborn resisters.Commander Zinchenko personally organized a commando to support the battle, handed over the reinforcements to Battalion Commander Neustroyev, and ordered him to completely wipe out the imperial soldiers on the second floor.

Badly damaged stairs and Imperial machine gun fire temporarily halted the commando's advance.

**

The sound of gunfire below was deafening.The officers and soldiers of the imperial army who were still insisting on the upper floors were silent.Most of them were disheveled and ragged, and wounded with bandages and even mutilated limbs were arranged in long rows in the corridor, wailing and sobbing endlessly.

However, Count Boris, the mayor of Chernobog in the Ursus Empire, did not stay with these dirty and bloody things.

"It's over!" The fate is more and more clearly displayed in front of his eyes.This man is holding on to his last moments in a lavishly decorated office.

Boris' throat was completely hoarse at the moment, and he could hardly make a sound.However, he was still venting his anger with all his strength, still shouting, cursing, and ordering—to the office where he was alone:

"Hold on to me! Hold on!"

He raised the ornately decorated automatic pistol inlaid with gold and silver in his hand, and fired a shot at the portrait of the emperor facing him as soon as he entered the door.The falling picture frame shattered, and the count fired again, and the bullet hit His Majesty directly on the forehead.The count jumped on it and kicked it hard, and the canvas mixed with splintered wood became a mess of rags.

Boris threw down the pistol and picked up the receiver on the phone. Although he could hardly speak, he still shouted with all his might.He took a sip of beer, hoping to make a sound out of his throat, but he didn't succeed, until he smashed the microphone heavily, and he didn't shout out.And the garrison officer below did not answer a sound.

So the Lord Mayor began to wrestle with his own throat, his fingers desperately grasping the sore and itchy throat, the skin there was purple by his own scratching, he still grasped and twisted, as if he wanted to tear his throat open.Then he bounced around in the office, and he smashed the coffee table to the ground, breaking two of the three table legs.The city defense map on the wall was crooked due to the shock of the explosion, but now he tore it all off, threw it on the ground and trampled it into torn paper.

In the end, he realized that death was approaching him, and he couldn't escape. Count Boris was exhausted, and finally fell down by his desk, panting heavily.It's not that I don't want to struggle, but that I really can't move.He crouched behind his desk, loaded his pistol with a fresh magazine, took out a grenade, and prepared to shoot out the door.

Suddenly, gunshots and explosions erupted right outside the door.The grenade exploded at the door of the office.It also seemed that a certain wall or ceiling was blasted, and a pile of something crashed twice and collapsed.The gunshots were all dense bursts, not the sparse ones of the imperial army, mixed with loud screams.Apparently, the Imperial Army didn't even have the power to parry.

With another bang, the office door crashed down.Smoke billowed in, and bullets flew into the office, kicking up wisps of debris on the walls.An imperial soldier who was blocking the attack outside was overturned by a grenade, rolled in with black smoke, and fell silently on the floor of the office.

The fate of the mayor is at the last minute.

When the thrown grenade exploded and an automatic rifle swept half of the magazine across the office, Tallulah, who was covered in scars on Thor's Hammer power armor, rushed in first and began to observe the situation in the room.

At this moment, Count Boris threw out the pistol and grenade from behind the desk. Tallulah, who thought this guy was going to resist, shot the whole desk into a honeycomb.Then realized that this guy wanted to surrender.

Afterwards, the snow monster special forces who came in kicked away the shattered desk, and dragged out the wounded and dying Count Boris, who was still alive and not seriously injured, like a dead dog.

Indoor combat has always been complicated and difficult, especially for the offensive side.The indoor terrain is extremely complex, and the defenders have also made targeted deployments and built fortifications.Every inconspicuous corner could shoot a deadly bullet.The defenders resisted desperately with the help of thick concrete walls and parapets on the corridor, and also set up obstacles in the corridor.This group of miscellaneous automatic weapons is surprisingly numerous, and they are very familiar with the situation of the site. Two or three Fedorov automatic rifles can seal off a corridor with a single shot of crossfire.So although the number is small, they are tightly entangled with the advancing assault group.

Urgently refueling and replacing batteries, the combat engineers who did a simple inspection and maintenance of the heavy-duty power armor were once again at the front, pouring deadly firepower that could penetrate the parapet to the imperial army.The 7.62X54R full-power rifle bullets used by the defenders were like jelly beans when they hit the power armor of the combat engineers.The fortifications everywhere were also flooded by the overwhelmingly superior explosives from the very beginning—the red-eyed commandos really hit grenades and even RPGs like fireworks, even if it was indoors!

However, the defenders who were in a desperate situation continued to fight endlessly.Even when the commandos began clearing rooms one by one, in every room, every hallway, there were armed Imperials firing from time to time until they were shattered by a rainstorm of bullets, spreading blood and corpses everywhere. Every inch of the concrete floor.

After such a long and extremely tragic indoor battle, when the commandos who were covered in colorful clothes finally stepped on the blood flowing on the steps and rushed to the floor near the top of the tower, they found that only a dozen or so special forces were guarding hundreds of prisoners. The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army who surrendered by hand, and the mayor of Chernobog were captured alive...

The commandos in a depressed mood passed through the group of colleagues who had taken advantage of it, and rushed towards the top of the tower.The special forces had cleared everything along the way, leaving only a few hidden enemies to snipe.They were immediately torn apart by a hundred times the intensive counter firepower.

When Reznov and his commando commanders rushed to the top of the tower, at the bottom of the tower nearly 203 meters high, another group of commandos also surrounded the last resistance hub in the core area, calling [-]MM armored assault guns to attack Boom the ruins.

Amidst the sound of thunderous artillery fire, Reznov jumped to the low wall on the edge of the tower top and slashed at the tall flagpole.As the tether snapped, the double-headed eagle banner of the Ursus Empire fell with the wind.

Reznov shouted hoarsely: "Dimitri, raise the red flag!"

Behind him, Dimitri drew the flagpole from Chernov's back, unfurled the flag, and planted it in sandbags on the parapet.

The red flag was flying from the top of the building.

The red flag is calling for soldiers from all directions to rush over.

The red flag declares that the heroic fighters of the People's Guards have captured the strongest defensive position in Chernobog and are destroying the last enemy.

The commandos who climbed to the top looked down at the city from a high place and saw gunpowder smoke filling the entire city, and the explosion points flashing brightly through the smoke.The sound of gunfire shook around the core tower, and the end of the battle and the last heat wave surged in the sky.

Then, face the tanks that broke through the wall and rushed into the ruins, and the infantry of the Nationalist Army who swarmed in afterward.In the last isolated position in the core area, the enemy quickly disintegrated and collapsed.The insolent third army field troops and the brave Chernobog city defense troops, whether they were officers or soldiers, some ran wildly and screamed in collapse; some shot in the head and ended their own lives.

More remaining enemies finally lost their fighting spirit in front of the rumbling tanks, and surrendered with trembling hands in desperation.

hands raised up;

several hands raised;

Hundreds of hands went up.

The bright red flag fluttered in the cold spring wind in the hands of the fighting heroes who climbed to the top of the building, and glowed with a proud dazzling brilliance under the radiance of the red sun in the west.The trumpet of victory roared loudly and loudly from the top and bottom of the core tower in the core area of ​​Chernobog, resounding through the stretching city and the distant ocean.With the bright red flag raised to the sky, the cheers of victory merged into howls in the sky.

Tallulah, who had just walked down the steps at the entrance of the core tower, smiled, touched the Chernobog starter key in the storage bag of the power armor, and walked towards the coming Comand.

Chapter 64 Victory! On

The red flag flying at the highest point of Chernobog at dusk greatly boosted the morale of the commanders and fighters of the Chernobog Front Army of the Tribal Army, and also greatly damaged the morale of the Chernobog city defenders of the Imperial Army.

When the soldiers of the Imperial Army recovered from the shock, they found that things were getting worse and worse: the east, west, south and core areas of the city had all been captured, and only the northern area was still resisting. .

In the northern district, the Civilian Army only invested some troops to lay nails in the defensive area outside the city.The imperial army defending here counterattacked again and again, but they were smashed by the stubborn defense and precise artillery fire.After fighting for a whole day, when they saw the core tower flying a red flag, everyone knew that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, another large-scale bombardment followed, this round of bombing was mainly concentrated in the northern sector.Another violent storm of firepower poured into the city. Barrel guns, rocket launchers, and mortars inside and outside the city fired violently. The planes of the 16th Army of the Air Force also made the last large-scale bombing before night fell.The officers and soldiers of the imperial army could only passively bear the relentless firepower of the tribunes.The bombardment of open-ground firepower had just ended, and before the disgraced Imperial Army officers and soldiers could react, the Tribal Army tanks began to approach from behind them, and mortar fire began to hit from only a few streets away.

As evening fell, in the Core Tower, the Tribunes began to extract surrendered Imperial soldiers and field hospitals from the basement.In the streets not far away, the two armies fought each other in the dark.

With both the army commander and the mayor captured, and most of the other armies wiped out and routed, General Weidling, commander of the 56th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Third Army, who was in charge of defending the north of the city, found himself facing an almost desperate situation. An extremely painful dilemma: the onslaught of the Tribunes once again embedded themselves in the defenses.It is only a matter of time before the various arrows that carry out the centripetal assault meet, and then divide and encircle his own army-should he order to break through or continue to fight?

After thinking over and over again, Wei Deling sent a telegram to the siege troops to apply for negotiation, and got a reply of permission.So in the area where the ceasefire was agreed, Wei Delin personally took a few entourages across the battlefield and met the commander of the 8th Guards Army of the Civilian Army.However, before meeting the enemy general, he first saw the farce created by his own army:

Amidst the howling and fighting of women and children, the mobile supervisory team dragged away all the men from a centenarian to a fourteen-year-old boy, and only issued an armband and a broken gun that "can only ensure that the bullets can fly out of the muzzle". Cannons; corpses hanging from the ground only a few centimeters above the telephone poles and lampposts, and these people dressed as ordinary citizens have signs such as "traitor" and "deserter" on their bodies.At the same time, there were still imperial soldiers walking by in twos and threes on the street, holding a woman and smelling of alcohol all over their bodies.

The general was followed by attendants holding white flags, and the two groups of people walked toward each other, gradually drifting away.

In his headquarters, Lieutenant General Vasily Chuikov, commander of the 8th Guards Army, asked Weidling interestingly: "Do you have any news?"

Wei Deling replied flatly: "The emergency meeting of the councils of Chernobog State and Chernobog City authorized me, the acting city defense commander of Chernobog, to discuss a peaceful solution with you. After all, war is for both sides. brought about a terrible disaster.”

Chuikov asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, if the two sides in the current situation are reversed, will you still choose peace talks?"

Wei Delin replied with a livid face: "Our side will not accept unconditional surrender."

Chuikov replied coldly: "Then we will use artillery shells to make you reconsider."

As soon as Wei Delin left, Chuikov picked up a phone and reported the results of the negotiations to the Front Army Command.After receiving instructions, he picked up another phone and read the epitaph of this fruitless negotiation: "Pour shells on these 'beasts', no more negotiations, resume the attack!"

The cannons, mortars and "Katyushas" of the Tribal Army immediately fired a salvo, which opened the prelude to a new round of offensive.

The night did not bring respite.Rokossovsky ordered the army commanders to continue fighting without pause.On the streets, in the houses, and in the fortifications, the tribunal assault group advanced step by step and drove the defenders out.Fierce gun battles took place in the houses on both sides of the street from time to time, and from time to time, officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army rushed out of the doors and fled rolling and crawling on the street.The flames of the explosion, the flickering of the muzzle, and the burning flames shrouded Chernobog in a purple-red-yellow intertwined light.The defenders, under constant shelling, had been divided into four isolated groups.

After the deafening, suffocating shelling.The order to launch the final assault came.The units of the Tribal Army rushed forward, and the encirclement became tighter and tighter.The 3rd Assault Army from the west of the city is on the north side of the core tower, and it will press northward together with the 8th Guards Army from the south of the city; the 5th Assault Army from the east has also established an effective connection with the friendly forces, The North attack shattered all resistance encountered.

崔可夫抓紧时间眯了一会儿。可3月16日凌晨1点25分，一份报告又将他唤醒：近卫摩托化步兵第79师的电台0点40分截获了帝国军第56步兵军发出的无线电呼叫：“喂，喂，这里是第56步兵军。我们请求停火。0时50分我们将派军使经过原来的停火地段。识别标志是一面白旗。听候你们的回复。”

This announcement was repeated five times.Annoyed at the thought of another round of futile negotiations, Chuikov soon realized that the situation was quite different.Thinking of this, Cuikov immediately sent two staff officers to meet the enemy's envoy, but strictly instructed him not to conduct any negotiations except to ask the other party to surrender unconditionally and immediately lay down their weapons.

The representatives of the Imperial Army made it clear that they would surrender.After a short round of negotiations, the two sides made certain details.

At 6 o'clock sharp, General Weidling and his senior staff officers first surrendered to the tribunes, and within an hour Weidling was brought before Chuikov.He drew up an order and read it to all of Chernoborg:

"The Emperor of the Empire said that he could not provide any real support to Chernobog, and only asked us to hold it firmly, thus abandoning those of us who swore allegiance to him. As soldiers of the Empire, we should fight to defend the cities of the Empire. But Ammunition is running low, and the overall situation is making our continued resistance pointless.

"My order is: stop resistance immediately.

"(Signed) Artillery Lieutenant General Weidling, Acting Commander of Chernobog City Defense."

**

On the morning of March 3, there was light fog and chilly drizzle.

Groups of Imperial Army officers and soldiers walked out of their positions and lined up on the broken streets and ruined squares.Buildings were burning inside the city, and the flames illuminated the bombed and collapsed walls.The famous avenues are all in ruins, with smog-filled streets devastated, uprooted trees, muddy, blood-stained trenches and destroyed buildings everywhere.The only embellishment among the rubble is the red flag.

With the establishment of the Military Control Council, some areas of Chernobog have started work such as clearing the ruins. The garrison is headed by a Tribune officer and, where possible, the original local management personnel have been arranged.Various items of value have been sorted, and the civilians of Chernobog have been sent to clean up the ruins and put their homes in order - but if someone proves to be a staunch supporter of the empire, he will have to talk to the blue hats up.
