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

Without looking back, she strode towards the gate of the regiment's station, heading towards the cavalry regiment's next stop.

Comand looked at the back whose curves were completely covered by the military coat, and began to think:

"Does she like me?"

So Comand took out the miniature smart radio station used by the People's Federation Army—or mobile phone—from his coat pocket, turned on the front camera function, and looked at his face as an old field soldier: Well, it is as black as coal and as rough as sandpaper.

"It seems to be one of the three major illusions in life, alas."

He took a step and walked towards the Berkonsky cavalry regiment station not far away.

Chapter 23 Beat the Drums of War 3

In this world that has begun to deviate from the "plot" and "setting", not all storms come from the butterfly wings of the 113th Division of the People's Federation of Extraterrestrial Corps.For example, the painting style of the Ursus infantry has changed from chopping the land with a watermelon knife to standing in rows to eat guns.

All in all, the level of weapons and equipment of the armed forces of the current integrated movement is quite good.The light weapons are mainly automatic rifles with 7.62X41MM rifle bullets. They can be equipped with general-purpose machine guns and mortar bazookas. At the same time, each company has a team of technicians who mainly counter enemy Originium skills and provide warlock support.

In comparison, the infantry detachments of the Ursus Empire's armed forces were pitiful.The infantry standard light weapon of the current imperial army is the "Berdan" rifle with a technical level roughly equivalent to that of the Blue Star 1870S. It is more than two generations behind to make a smokeless gunpowder bolt-operated magazine-style rifle—this is still "a cutting-edge weapon that replaces the old-fashioned muzzle-loading gun"!

Moreover, unlike the integration movement, various machine guns and light artillery are everywhere in the infantry battalion company, the infantry of the Ursus army still uses rifles as the absolute pillar of firepower, in addition to using shields to resist the impact of the line. The warlock of fireball; a small number of mortars are weaker than the integrated movement in terms of technical level, combat performance and distribution quantity.Conservatively speaking, a Battalion of Integrative Movement infantry could slaughter a battalion of Ursus Empire infantry attacking while holding its position.

But when comparing larger forces, the picture is reversed.

So far, the integration movement can only assign one towed 85MM cannon battery to each infantry regiment. This is because the joint officers and soldiers and uprising sailors as the backbone of the artillery greatly speed up the training progress.As for the artillery that can hit targets beyond the line of sight, it makes people want to cry, but there are only a handful of two 105 howitzer companies——

那些120、160重型迫击炮和更大更Waaagh！的122、130、152榴弹炮、加农炮、加榴炮，苦于技术人才匮乏的整合运动只能望炮兴叹。

An artillery battalion is always maintained within an infantry division of the Imperial Army.Although these artillery pieces are black powder racks that have just evolved from front-loading smoothbore cannons to breech-loading rifled cannons. Their combat performance is far inferior to those World War II-style artillery and mortars in the integrated movement, but after all, they are abundant in number and have well-trained gunners.Moreover, each division is supported by a cavalry detachment. After the integration movement failed, Lao Bijin was barely able to form a cavalry regiment. The reason was no other than lack of talent.This makes the mobile combat power of the integrated movement relatively weak.

There is even greater trouble going up: the integration movement still has no land ships.In the "Battleship Potemkin" incident, the land-ships who rebelled and were captured were either severely damaged or were being interspersed by the Space Marine Technico Sergeant and the Red Robe Mechanic Priest.In addition to the heavy casualties of the personnel inside, the survivors either chose to serve in the technical arms of the integration movement, or were squeezed out of all knowledge related to land ships as consultants.And each army group of Ursas has its own land fleet, which can provide each army with land fleet support in the war.

Then there are more complicated issues: the infantry battalion of the integrated movement is generally similar to the top-equipped infantry in World War II in terms of technical level and weaponry. A considerable number of personnel are used to operate machine guns and mortars, ensure communication, bandage and ambulance, etc. and other support work.On the contrary, Ursas's troops did not have a single gun or a machine gun below the division, and almost all the regiments, battalions and companies were front-line riflemen.In other words, the imperial army could easily concentrate an overwhelming force onslaught.Considering the enemy's superiority in artillery and land ships, this kind of crowd is not a target to be hit when it is supported by strong firepower, but it may drown the integration movement with a small number of people alive.

It is precisely in consideration of these problems that the 113th Division of the Extraterrestrial Corps of the People's Federation decided to provide technical arms support for the integration movement.But after all, this only changed the "big test" facing the integration movement from being completely impossible to "doing our best is still possible."In order to defeat the long numbers listed in the intelligence list, the armed forces of the integration movement still have to work hard.

For example, make good use of your only cavalry regiment.

Command and Tallulah stood on the edge of the training ground, watching several four-wheeled carriages swaying and turning to a stop while galloping, aiming the machine guns and mortars pointed at the rear of the carriages to the front.

In the front side, the skirmish line of the dismounted cavalry is advancing rapidly.The cavalrymen were all carrying sabers, but at the same time they were wearing tactical vests with high-grade bulletproof inserts and automatic rifles in their hands, which made Comand feel awkward no matter how he looked at it.

The sound of hooves of pack animals kicking from far to near.Comand looked back and saw Berkonski galloping towards him. Before he could stop completely, he dismounted swiftly and strided forward, leading his pack beast, and saluted the two of them: "Good morning! , two."

"Good morning, Comrade Belkonsky, how do you feel about your current job?"

As soon as he talked about his old profession, Berkonski was immediately in high spirits: "It is difficult, but the future is bright. The training of cavalry is not as simple as that of infantry, and the cavalry of the integrated movement is even more difficult to train because of advanced equipment and tactics.

"The support firepower of the Ursus cavalry is light cavalry guns. Those front-loading smoothbore guns that fire solid bullets and shotguns are still good for enemies in dense formations. Even most Casimir knights dare not charge shotguns. but compared with the newer machine guns and mortars, the cavalry guns are a piece of junk."

Comand nodded: "I am very satisfied that you are so concerned about the cavalry of the integration movement. But the current tactical mission of our army for the cavalry is close to that of the light cavalry, mainly reconnaissance and small-scale combat missions; or exist as mounted infantry , use horses as a means of maneuver, and dismount after arriving at the predetermined location and go into battle as infantry. But I saw in your training plan that you are training a regiment-sized horse charge? This is the job of heavy cavalry."

"If you tell me this, I won't be sleepy, Comrade General Political Commissar." Berkonsky excitedly tied the reins of his pack animal to the horse hitch next to him. "The new armor works very well, and ours The beasts of burden are also very powerful, no less than, no, much more than those beasts of burden that the Casimir people have worked so hard to cultivate! We are capable of launching a cavalry assault and destroying the enemy's infantry head-on!"

"That's for sure, this is Krieger's biochemical beast." Comand replied.

Berkonsky was confused: "What?"

"It's nothing." Comand waved his hand. "You are the commander of the cavalry regiment. As long as your ideas can be discussed by the regiment's executive committee, then there is no problem. Then how do you get along with the troops?"

Belkonsky smiled bitterly: "It's not bad..."

The history of the earl's son in the army of mudlegs is indeed difficult to describe in words.

The training cycle of cavalry is long, and it cannot be supplemented by recruiting casually.In the northwestern tundra, there are relatively few young and middle-aged people who have the basics of riding, and there are not many people who can even drive a horse-drawn cart, let alone those who can ride a horse to fight... Therefore, several cavalry units established in the early days of the Integration Movement, among them Combat power cannot be said to be completely non-existent, it is as much as there are potato chips in a bag of Lay's potato chips.So much so that in a series of battles to chase down the Fuming gang, they were easily thrown off by this group of horsemen, and the tragic experience of being wiped out of a squad and a platoon was not one or two cases.

The local area lacked both excellent cavalry and excellent beasts of burden.The Human League Extraterrestrial Corps can completely hand over the biochemically modified "horses" that pour out of the biological cloning cabins in droves to the integration movement, but the human support is still limited to instructors and a small number of technical units, and will never be invested in front-line troops on a large scale. .

The occurrence of the "Battleship Potemkin" incident finally brought an excellent cavalry commander to the integration movement.

When Berkonski learned that it would be difficult for the Reunification Movement to have land battleships in the short term, he decided to find a position in the more important Reunification Movement troops as much as possible.Faced with simultaneous invitations from cavalry and artillery, he finally chose the cavalry regiment, which was more in short supply——

Among the sailors who have been transferred to the integration movement, most of the sailors whose positions are related to navigation have become land-ship technical consultants in the military industry department of the 113th Division; most of the gun department have entered important positions in the artillery unit of the integration movement.In contrast, the cavalry unit still lacks professionals, and Berkonsky is the only one who can serve as an admiral on a ship and a trainer on a horse (crossed out).

So the cavalry and mounted police from various regions were ordered to assemble and excitedly began to be reorganized into a cavalry regiment of field troops, encouraged by the new tall "horses" and the high allowances for the cavalry soldiers. When the old company elders and platoon leaders They were abruptly robbed of the title of cavalry captain by an outsider.

——That guy is still a noble lord!

Everyone was filled with a bunch of "Obviously we came here first, what does it mean to let that little boy join the team leader selection?!", "Why are you so proficient in horsemanship!" and so on. The tent dragged out and killed the opposition questioned.

But no one can really say the words.

During the saber combat training, the noble lord easily knocked off four cavalry company commanders in succession.When it comes to the cavalry's technical and tactical literacy and professional knowledge, no one can compare with Berkonski in the entire northwest tundra.So, after comparing equestrian skills with sabers and knowledge with practical skills, all the old cavalry had no choice but to watch Belkonsky ascend to the position of regimental commander reluctantly.

Then several layers of skin were removed by this noble lord.

Berkonsky presided over the training work, and he was responsible for teaching horse skills and tactics such as shooting on horseback and fighting on horseback. He also recruited instructors from the infantry unit next door to train the cavalry in infantry combat skills and tactics.The training intensity was so high that the unlucky cavalrymen all wore out their inner thighs within two days.Within a month, the whole group began to scold the new group leader behind his back.

The soldiers wanted to curse, but Berkonski wanted to curse even more: the technical and tactical level of this group of rookie cavalry is really... hard to describe.It's okay to line up in place and march in columns. When you charge, you immediately swarm, and retreating simply becomes a herd of sheep.Even the basic skills of horse riding are not solid, and there are at least three accidents in one day of training.

But there is no point in becoming an emergency warrior just because you are anxious.The results were not available for a while, and all the battalion commanders and soldiers below were engaging in overt and covert confrontations.Berkonsky felt as if he had jumped into a swamp and had no place to exert any force.

But Andrey Berkonsky was lucky, and Comand provided an excellent regimental commissar specifically for the cavalry regiment.His name was Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov.

As the new political commissar of the regiment, Zhukov also felt that the situation of this regiment was very difficult-the regiment leader's aristocratic status and strict training caused considerable dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers of the army, but this regiment must be trained strictly to form combat effectiveness.

So he took a two-pronged approach, on the one hand doing ideological work for cadres at all levels, and on the other hand trying to ease the relationship between the head comrade and the whole regiment...

"Political work is still too formalistic. I only know the glory of speaking about the revolution, I only know how to bury the martyrs who died, and I only know how to cry at the funeral; but I didn't pay attention to how the soldiers who lost their backpacks solved the problem of daily necessities, and they didn't respond. There were material and spiritual incentives, but they did not think about creating a warm and lively atmosphere in the army, did not lead the backbone to understand the situation of the masses, did not praise and promote meritorious cadres and soldiers in a timely manner, did not recruit activists to join the organization in a timely manner, and did not communicate with pessimism and disappointment. They did not clean up those who spread rumors or even organized escapes. Therefore, it is naturally difficult to carry out training work and army building work.”

Commander finished reading that paragraph and closed the low-quality mimeographed "Integrated Movement Newspaper": "This model essay was written by you, the political commissar of the regiment!"

Zhukov hurried over beside him with an embarrassed and honest smile.

The political commissar compiled a good manuscript, and asked the regiment leader to criticize and self-criticize in public at the military meeting of the regiment, to review his rough style of work to the regiment, and to apologize to some cadres and soldiers.When everyone's attitude towards the regiment leader eased a little, then I, the new political commissar, would put the facts and reason, and tell the officers and soldiers of the regiment: The other troops are in full swing, but we don't even understand the steps of the cavalry!

Comrade Political Commissar then said meaningfully: Pack animals are especially edible as livestock. A pack animal can eat at least ten kilograms of coarse grains and forage a day.Coupled with what we eat ourselves, the consumption of a cavalry platoon is greater than that of an infantry company.The conditions for establishing a mechanized unit are not yet available. Our cavalry regiment is a rapid response and mobile combat unit for the entire integrated movement, and our superiors attach great importance to it.But other infantry are now going to the field to conduct multi-subject tests and combined training for the whole battalion and regiment. When our cavalry soldiers can run with the squad leader during tactical training, it is a victory.What do you think the superior chief thinks about our cavalry regiment?

Faced with the ultimate problem of "performance appraisal", the officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment suddenly woke up.When they realized that if they didn't work hard, they might have to run on the ground with two bowlegged legs, and by the way, even the allowance would be reduced to the infantry level, everyone was in cold sweat.

"That's why our cavalry regiment has froze." Zhukov said with a smile to the general political commissar and the leader comrades.

Comand nodded: "So, you two are worthy of being a model of the successful combination of intellectuals and worker-peasant cadres."

The general political commissar said as he glanced at the cavalry company with a decent infantry fighting line next to it and the cavalry company in the distance forming a horse-and-horse wall formation: "Well done, the cavalry regiment has formed a combat effectiveness."

After inspecting the two companies that finished training, Comand and Tallulah walked out of the cavalry training ground.The two rushed to the next stop without stopping.

"Berkonski fit in very well," Tallulah said.

Commander glanced at the girl Drac walking side by side: "Do you think you're not integrating well?"

"Yes, if the integrated movement is like you said, there are only a thousand people. Then I should be able to be a 'leader' if I work hard. But now..."

Tallulah looked melancholy: "I thought that no matter what, I can do what I can. But it's not that simple. You said that the current integration movement is 'a county with a large population'. I don't quite understand what that means, but I always I can understand that you are joking. But for me, this organization is so huge that I never dared to think about it before. I really dare not be a "leader". I also participated in the duke in Kosiche before. The leader's administration is not the same as here. I can only learn and learn from you desperately, and I can't help you with anything..."

Comand raised his hand and flicked his wrist to reveal the watch under his sleeve: "It can't be said that, although there are many levers and gears in the watch, they are installed precisely, each has its own position, and each has its own function. To be a moving whole..."

"What are you trying to do with me with a smart watch?!"

Comand, who failed to forcefully introduce the philosophy of life, was silent in embarrassment. After a while, he said: "...You really can't just listen to the report once and finish it. Alina also said that your knot has been completely untied. Well, in short, can you Shiny. Trust me."

Chapter 24 Building an Army

Shuangxing stared deeply at the Originium crystal lying on his palm.

On this slender, ruddy hand, the few Origin Stones that fell off from her body made her palm feel chills.

These origin stone crystals are very important to her and her relatives...

used to be.

Frost Star, formerly known as Yelena, was born in the Originium Mine controlled by the Ursus military—her parents were infected.And she is also an infected person, who was born as a slave laborer in the mine.

She has no relatives. She regards the children who suffered the same fate as herself as relatives. Then after being rescued by the guerrillas led by the patriots, she took these children to form the Snow Monster Team.

The Infected are a curse, and sometimes a blessing.The probability of being a warlock among the infected is much higher than that of ordinary people, and Frost Star is the kind of warlock with extraordinary talent, with powerful freezing spells.

She distributed her Originium crystals to the soldiers of the Yeti team as a symbol of friendship.In the end, the Yeti's children all had Originium crystals given to them by their eldest sister, which became a symbol of the Wendigo's identity.

But now, except for a few warlocks among the snow monsters, they collectively choose to receive relevant treatment to cure their own origin stone disease and let the origin stone crystals escape from their bodies.Even if this is a symbol of brothers and sisters, it will greatly weaken one's Originium skills.

"Because a new era has arrived..."

Frost Star muttered to herself until Petrova, a snow monster warrior next to her, poked her quietly: "Sister, it's time."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Frost Star took a deep breath, put the crystal back into his pocket, raised his hand and pushed back the two white rabbit ears on the top of his head, picked up the pine branch green roll-brimmed hat that was resting on his lap, put it on his head, and stood up quickly.

A new power appeared, allowing everyone to get rid of the curse of the origin stone.It can point out the ideological direction for these rebels and provide them with material strength.A new era is coming... The snow monsters decided to blend in with the trend of the times.

All the officers and soldiers of the "Snow Monster" Special Operations Battalion who were sitting on the benches beside them stood up like a billowing wave.The soldiers of the integration movement nervously checked the clothes of themselves and their comrades beside them, and confirmed whether the just-issued frock coats and all the signs, symbols and accessories on them were properly dressed.

Whether it's the old Yeti who followed Froststar in the guerrilla era, or the new Yeti who joined the Special Operations Battalion later, everyone was nervous and excited to wear the most exquisite and gorgeous clothes in their lives.

The military uniforms are very stylish. The green woolen fabrics are seamlessly spliced ​​together by exquisite stitching. The young men’s physiques are outlined with a serious and strong outline by slightly wide lines. The strong demeanor is fully reflected.

The few female officers and soldiers have their own military uniforms. Roll-brimmed hats and short skirts are different from the clothing of male comrades-in-arms, and all the details of the clothing are designed to fit the female body and highlight the female appearance.Heroic and valiant; graceful.

The only fly in the ointment is that the integration movement has neither experienced large-scale actual combat nor been awarded titles.The collar insignia and epaulettes of the soldiers are still blank, and there are only a few commemorative medals and qualification badges on their chests. The more obvious positions are empty - those are reserved for medals of honor.

Let's be honest, whether compared to Casimir's knight armor and Victoria's steam armor, or the officer's dress of the main enemy Ursus Imperial Army, the new dress of the Integrative Movement is downright shabby, with only very simple, highly functional accessories .There are neither engraved or hung intricate patterned pendant medal ribbons and family marks, nor are there streamers inlaid with precious stones and embroidered with gold and silver.

But everyone is very satisfied.These were the most beautiful clothes these slave laborers, peasants, and tramps had ever seen in their lives.As for the vacant medal, it should be won on the battlefield.

——Everyone knows that the siege of the Ursus Empire is coming.Whether we will be destroyed or not depends on our choice.

Frost star calmly checked the army founding medal and the "Snow Monster" special warfare qualification badge on his chest.She also confirmed the smaller skill qualification certificates one by one, then raised her head, and waited until the whole battalion was ready before shouting the password: "All of them—"

Following her command, the queue moved into a larger crowd.

Those are all military representatives in the armed forces system of the integrated movement. They come from various regiments, battalions and companies of infantry, artillery and cavalry, and from various local garrison companies and platoons.The place where the representatives are located is the playground of the most important field army headquarters in the large camp of the integration movement.However, the place is about to change its name soon.

Representatives of each unit moved in an orderly manner following the instructions of the leading cadres, forming square formations at certain intervals.Everyone wore brand-new military uniforms, including double-breasted button coats. Soldiers and officers wore all decorations, badges and insignias. The leather boots, leather holsters and leather holsters were shiny, and the map pouches and work satchels were new and shiny.

"It's true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. I can hardly recognize these new clothes." Comand was in the administrative building of the headquarters not far away.He had just moved away from the window and was in the process of undoing all the odds and ends on his body.
