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

The shattered sailor hit the captain hard, and a flying fragment scratched a sliver of flesh on the captain's face.The captain, whose face was covered with blood, didn't care at all, looking at the hole that penetrated from the front to the back with horror.Of course, the armor of a light cruiser cannot be compared with that of battleships and mobile fortresses, but it is not without protection.With the armor thickness of the bridge, the patrol ship's 102 and 76MM cannons can't even attack it.But now, this shell easily penetrated the bridge armor, not only penetrated it!

"Report damage! Search for enemies!" The captain was pulled out of his shock by the rumble of gunfire that arrived later, and then shouted angrily.It's really embarrassing to be suddenly slapped when you have the upper hand.

"Visual enemy shadow!" Immediately, a fleet officer at the bridge porthole shouted, but the type, orientation and distance of the target that was supposed to pop out like a rapid-fire cannon didn't say a word.

The captain rushed to his side and followed his gaze. People on the bridge turned to look over.This group of audacious ambushers were exposed to the Ursus army.However, everyone on the bridge, including the captain, went from shock to petrification, and even if they were pricked with needles, they might not have any reaction.

At the edge of the woods in the distance, a group of "things" were rushing out of the dust after the cannon fire.

Chassis, tracks, square turret, and long barrel...

My lord, the enemy is actually a group of armored vehicles that are not even "boats"!

The captain's eyes protruded from their sockets almost like toads:

Can you be more creative about using chariots to fight warships?Can you guys be a little more imaginative?Do you add up to a tenth the weight of this light cruiser?You are so crazy, why don't you fly up to the sky and stand side by side with the sun? !

From the first officer to the orderly, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Land Fleet in the entire bridge were dumbfounded.As a soldier, even if you haven't seen it, you haven't heard of any kind of ambush battle... You have never heard of such a battle example of ambushing a warship with a chariot!

This thing is indeed incredible.The small, high-power engines necessary for armored combat vehicles are a huge technical problem for all forces in "this land".Several technical routes are limited by the current level of technology.Either it is small and cheap and can be popularized in motorcycles and off-road vehicles, but it cannot be made larger; or the size cannot be reduced at all; or although the size and power are satisfactory, it is extremely expensive!

Although there is a gap in the current form of war on Terra such as "tracked armored combat vehicles with powerful direct firepower, solid protection capabilities and excellent off-road performance", the problem is that this demand is not so urgent.Therefore, there is no such thing as a tank-like weapon on the continent of Terra.

However, the surprise of the officers and soldiers of the Ursus fleet was not so much that they were surprised by the new weapons, but rather that they were surprised by the enemy's "madness".The Ursus soldiers reacted with embarrassment and were almost furious:

"Fire! Fire! Blow those matchboxes to pieces!"

Indeed, as a light cruiser with a total combat weight of [-] tons, the "Varyag" far exceeds a tank company in terms of firepower intensity and protection capabilities.

In any case, with its large size and abundant power, the land craft's ability to project firepower and withstand firepower far exceeds that of vehicles of the same technical level.Facing his own six 152MM breech barrel rapid-fire cannons and heavy armor, shouldn't those little matchboxes still be easily smashed even though they have new, powerful and high-muzzle-velocity cannons that have never been seen before?

It's really not that easy.

As soon as the officers and soldiers on the bridge came to their senses, damage reports came from the microphone one after another like mourning reports:

"This is the engine room! The Originium power furnace has been hit, a main pipe is broken, and Originium dust is leaking!"

"The boiler cooling water is leaking! A team has been boiled, *Usas expletive*, we can't stand it anymore!"

"The front of the No. [-] main turret was penetrated, and more than half of the artillery crew was injured!"

"The No. [-] crawler group is stuck! They are shooting the walking system!"

"They're trying to attack the keel!"

After an astonishing volley of the Ferus tanks, the flames on their own side were shining and the dust was rolling, and the momentum was horrifying and spectacular. The enemy land cruiser four kilometers away seemed unscathed.However, the "Varyag" itself definitely doesn't think so.

The armored soldiers carefully aimed at the vital points of the enemy ship during this salvo.Electromagnetic guns and piercing poles, which are completely beyond the times, penetrate the armor of enemy ships like cutting tofu with a knife. After penetrating, they also rampage in the hull of a light cruiser.While they mass-produce dumpling fillings made of iron filings, they are constantly destroying pipelines, weapons and equipment.

Damage control reports continued one after another, making the captain realize that the damage to his beloved ship was considerable.But before the gunnery department could respond to his roars, the tanks quickly accelerated, wrapped in clouds of snow and mist with only their broad fronts exposed, and swooped in to close the distance.

The tanks no longer shoot.However, there was another sharp roar in the sky, followed by a dull roar from the distance——

The heavy artillery that land sailors are most familiar with!

I looked at the next few chapters again:

How can the modern army use the gadgets at hand to kill the gunboats sailing on the ground in the late [-]th and early [-]th centuries?

It was written so that the army was silent after reading it, and the navy shed tears after reading it.

Chapter No.16 Greetings from People's Federation

Chattering, like mosquitoes lingering.

"Hold on, bastard, just stop like this..."

Low and low, like the ringing of a bell.

"Okay, the laser irradiation is all ready..."

Commande muttered to himself, waved his right hand wearing the induction glove, and clenched his fist: "Fourth Lord, fuck the fuck!"

"Okay!" The fourth master in the artillery command car turned around happily and shouted to the correspondent beside him, "The planned firing, eight rounds for each gun, rapid fire!"

The heavy barrel pointed high into the sky like a sword in the hands of a cavalryman.Under the gun barrel is a tracked chassis protected by armor.The artillerymen were silent inside the car, sitting like statues.Until the lifeless radio station crackled back to life, crackling static and a series of sharp beeps, and then it became clear as the communication system automatically processed: "...Attention all, planned firing , each gun fires eight rounds rapidly!"

A muffled sound like rolling thunder echoed on the ground, the shock absorber deformed painfully under the pressure of the recoil of the artillery, and the recoil caused the "Petrified Lizard" self-propelled howitzer to shake violently.

On the battlefield in the distance, everyone noticed the small patch of horizon that was reflected red in the sky.But no one noticed the people's union scouts who were sparsely distributed on the battlefield.These reconnaissance teams with power armor painted with snow camouflage camouflage concealed in the snow, nailing the enemy ships with laser irradiation devices.

So, when the laser-guided shells fell from the sky, everyone was shocked.

There were batches of explosions in the sky, and gray clouds evenly and tightly shrouded the three Ursus land speeders.It was an arrow shotgun using an air-explosion fuse.The flechette shells exploded in the air, and dropped flechette-shaped shells that just covered the three warships.

However, the nail-sized tungsten alloy arrows were as dense as rain, covering the three warships in a hazy mist.The battleship was surrounded by blown snow and dust, and the battleship deck was splashed with blood mist!

The sound of guns stopped suddenly, and the screams echoed faintly on the battlefield, reaching everyone's ears.

Berkonski, who had always been calm and unhurried, rushed to the porthole, stared solemnly at the positions of the air-bombed shells, and then turned around and asked anxiously, "How did you do it?"

This is indeed an incredible effect.As an unguided weapon with conventional barrel artillery, it is normal for the error to reach more than ten or even tens of meters when shooting indirectly.This is determined by the accuracy limit of the artillery itself. No matter how skilled the artilleryman is, there is nothing he can do about this error. As a land cruiser officer, Berkonsky knows this very well.But now this magical sight of the first group of first hits still concentrated on top of the entire battleship was completely beyond the scope of his understanding.

The officers and soldiers on the bridge turned their eyes in awe and fear to the huge figure standing in the center of the bridge.

Silently climbed onto the moving high-speed land-ship of the Ursus Empire, overturned the besieging sailors with bare hands, and revealed the communication number book to announce that he was a liaison officer sent by the integration movement...

The tough guys who ran the boat and rebelled were completely overwhelmed and frightened. They obediently obeyed the captain's order and brought the two-meter-high can into the bridge.

The space warrior replied: "It's just a precision-guided weapon, you may be able to use it soon. However, I think now is the best time for your ship to officially prove itself, Yang Weili... ahem, I mean, Captain Andrei Berkonsky."

"Yeah..." Belkonsky took a deep breath, "Calm! Raise the red flag, aim at the 'Audacious', and fire all the guns!"

**

"Master Lieutenant Colonel! Master Lieutenant Colonel!"

The panicked call awakened the captain of the "Varyag" from his dizziness.The captain reacted and shouted: "What are you doing around me? Are the Bold and Calm in place?"

The young man who had been his chaperone and servant since childhood and now his orderly shouted: "The Calm has mutinied!"

"What?!!!" The captain's voice was as sharp as a newly castrated rooster.

"Leng Jing Hao has rebelled!"

The captain of the lieutenant colonel threw off the orderly, rushed to the porthole, and stared straight at the two destroyers serving as the reserve behind the side of the ship.

The destroyer Calm is now the only unscathed warship in the entire pursuit fleet.It had been in reserve before and had not been involved in the battle. It was normal that it had not been damaged. However, the sudden bombardment just now was incredibly accurate, but it only hit the Varyag light cruiser, Fury and Daring destroyers that were pursuing the fleet.The battleship remains unscathed...

The answer to the mystery has been revealed: the Calm has lowered the flag of the Ursus Empire, and a red cloth is flying on the mast.The destroyer pounded the HMS Daring with fire from its main guns to its rifles.The unlucky Bold had just been swept across the deck by enemy arrows and shells, and was completely unprepared for what was behind it, so it immediately became extremely passive!

"Berkonsky!!!" the lieutenant colonel howled at the top of his lungs.Immediately, I heard the wailing of others, "Chariot! The enemy's chariot!"

Whether it was the suppressive firing of precision-guided shells or the sudden uprising of the Calmness, the primary purpose of the entire battle was to cover He Fan's tank company from approaching and shooting.

"Don't worry about anything else!" The captain of the lieutenant colonel made a decisive decision, and when he gave the order, he glanced at the hole in the bridge armor with lingering fear, "Shoot the enemy tanks! Don't let them approach!"

no answer.Someone tugged on the captain's sleeve and pointed to the front deck directly in front of the bridge.

The rapid-fire gun firepower of close-range enemy ships cannot be compared with the air bomb shell coverage just now.The steel arrows that fell from the sky were no bigger than nails, but they were dense and uniform, covering the deck of the entire battleship at the same time, making it unavoidable.Many sailors exposed on the deck were beaten into iron hedgehogs covered with steel nails by flechette bullets, and some were even torn to pieces!

Only the fully enclosed main gun survived——

The oncoming tank company suddenly started to slow down from full speed, raising its gun barrels uniformly while driving.The orderly rushed over and pinned the captain down.

Two scattered 152MM shells whizzed out, and a huge amount of white smoke unique to black powder sprayed out from the barrel.The semi-armour-piercing grenade exploded tens of meters away from the tank company formation, and in the end only two harmless fragments knocked on the fine gold and ceramic steel composite armor of the Ferus tanks.

Ferus is a tank whose technical level and combat performance comprehensively surpass the old Leman Russ.But after all, its positioning is still "mass production, cheap and reliable", and it inevitably makes a compromise between advanced and backward: it abandons the advanced magnetic pressure suspension and returns to the ancient and reliable torsion bar suspension, but with the help of composite materials, it greatly increases the number of The malfunctioning motorcycle is small; and the armor has also given up all kinds of bells and whistles, using the combination of ceramic steel and fine gold, and instead focusing on optimizing the bulletproof appearance and reducing the height of the vehicle.

In terms of firepower and maneuverability, the designers of Ferus spared no effort: the power source uses high-performance batteries to power the independent motors of each of the eight pairs of road wheels under the tank's heavy armor and large amounts of coolant; the weapons are this The most radical aspect of this new type of tank compared to the past: the micro-macro cannon—also known as the electromagnetic gun!

The autoloader rumbled in the unmanned turret behind it, and the tank's gunner kept the turret spinning and humming as he took aim.The enemy ship, which is now less than 1000 meters away, is getting bigger and bigger on the display screen, and the three main gun turrets on it are desperately turning to their side.He Fan stared at the display screen, where all the cars on it were showing their readiness signals.

He pressed the firing button of the entire battery of tank guns again.

Fourteen orange-red rays of light flashed past, and then there was the sharp explosion of alloy piercing rods flying at supersonic speed.The violent shock wave blew up dust no less than that of the old-fashioned gunpowder cannon, covering the entire tank company in a hazy snow powder.

The alloy armor-piercing projectile rushed out of the muzzle driven by the strong magnetic field, pierced the air at high speed, emitted a piercing scream, flew over the noisy battlefield, and accurately hit the "Varyag" light cruiser less than 1000 meters away.They easily penetrated its fragile armor and ran rampant inside the huge battleship.

The crazy shaking finally subsided.The captain angrily pulled away the orderly who was holding him down.Jumped up and looked at his battleship...

The main guns disappeared.

To be exact, the three twin 152MM turrets of this light cruiser were all destroyed.

The precise shooting of fourteen tank guns at a distance of less than 1000 meters is all concentrated on the three main turrets of the Varyag.The terrifying kinetic energy forcibly shredded the turret armor, the rotating and pitching mechanism, the automatic bomb lifter and the gun crew.

The high gun barrel collapsed and smashed onto the deck. Only a small part of the turret remained on the base, and the rest turned into various pieces on the deck and in the wilderness.The only good thing is that the fire door of the ammunition depot has not yet been opened, and there is no danger of the ammunition depot exploding and blowing the entire battleship into the sky.

The main guns of the Ferus tanks ceased firing, and they switched to firing from the heavy-bombing machine guns juxtaposed with the artillery and the weapon station on the roof.The roaring explosive bombs swept into the bridge first, and the officers and soldiers on the bridge who were caught off guard were smashed into blood spatters.Meat scraps, broken bones, and scraps of paper were flying around, and after a few seconds, the people on the bridge either fell to the ground dead, or lay flat on the ground, not daring to move.

The coordination of the people's alliance army is always tacit and close.When the machine gun fire of the tanks finally stopped, a "Storm Crow" small gunboat was already roaring and passing over the deck.The assault space marines, carrying jump packs, disembarked from the air and successfully landed on the deck in a few seconds.

The small jump backpack on his back automatically unlocked and fell off. The leading idiot moved his shoulders. The jump shield in his left hand and the chain sword in his right hand were all normal.Looking at the bewildered Ursus crew members around him, the Space Marine Captain showed a bloody smile under his helmet.As the thoughts flashed through the Space Marine's mind, the nerves of the power armor were directly connected to the operating system to detect the command and immediately converted it into electrical signals flowing rapidly in the circuit.

The two directional mines installed on the front of the shield exploded at the same time, and nearly 140 steel balls and fragments formed a [-]-degree fan, sweeping past sharply and whistling.Immediately, the deck was turned upside down, and more than [-] Ursus crew members were beaten to the point of bleeding, and their bodies convulsed as if they were electrocuted in the metal storm.More than half of the people were already dead before they fell to the ground, and the remaining half were rolling and thumping in a pool of blood, screaming and using their hands in vain to cover the bleeding wounds all over their bodies.

Some of the bodies were in pieces, and more were beaten like sieves.The fine pieces of flesh and blood splashed from these mutilated bodies formed a pink mist in the air, in which the not-quite-dead Ursus crew members wailed in despair.

The firepower of bolters and plasma rifles shattered the stunned Ursus crew members around them and sealed several hatches.The Ursus sailors and marines who tried to rush out to engage the enemy and replace their positions only left a pile of charred corpses at the door.The grenade flew into the hatch like a heel.The commandos filed in as the blast blasted out of the door.

As the deck was under control, more Valkyrie transport planes roared over immediately, delivering the second echelon of attack forces to the deck.

This gang-hopping battle is not simple.In order to ensure that all stubborn enemies are eliminated while retaining as many complete land craft samples and operators as possible, it is not feasible to have only a few Space Marines join the gang.The 113th Division of the Human League Off-terrain Regiment handed over the task of boarding and sweeping the ship to several mortal combat companies from the grenadiers and engineer units of the Krieg Death Legion.Each of them would reinforce a squad of Space Marines and land on the three ships.

So, in the dark, narrow and tortuous cabin, the land crews of the Ursus Empire, who were struggling to survive, saw a horrific sight: the enemy who merged with the darkness was slowly advancing in the corridor of the cabin, and on the lens of the mask eyepiece Flashing a frightening red light.The biggest obstacle to them was the tortuous and complicated internal structure of the ship. The Ursus crew used bolt-action short rifles and revolver pistols to jingle their armor, and then watched in horror as the unscathed opposite continued to spray Shotgun smashed itself into a sieve, and even rushed up to wield an engineer shovel to slice off a certain part of itself.

The commandos easily captured key points throughout the battleship.When they stepped on the bodies of armed sailors and pools of blood and rushed up the stairs to the bridge, the captain at the front with a revolver in his hand saw clearly the appearance of these enemies for the first time:

Wearing black and gray coats on top of their power armor to "preserve tradition", holding revolver shotguns and laser carbines, and wearing special "steel helmets + gas masks" full-coverage helmets, the Sons of Krieg in the new era did not reveal an inch of skin. , there is only the sheen of inorganic matter all over the body.

It's not like the breath of a living thing blowing towards your face.

The opponent's guns were pointed at the trembling bridge officers and soldiers who couldn't muster five guns.The captain threw the pistol out of the broken window, threw the command knife at the opponent's feet, then covered his face and squatted down.

The People's Federation commandos who filed in took control of the prisoners. The leading squad leader walked to the external observation deck of the bridge. At the same time, he pulled out a green flare from his equipment and ignited it. He threw it on the floor of the observation deck and looked at the nearby people. The tank company surrounding the three battleships looked at the green smoke flying on the bridges of the other two enemy ships and the red flags flapping on the masts of the two rebel battleships.

The Valkyrie fleet roared through the air and began to pour firefighting foam on the battleships.Tech-sergeants with large mechanical arms and tech-priests in red robes are jumping down.
