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

Claims abound that the landship is a "ghost ship."

In a way, this statement is very true.For the guided-missile cruiser Aurora, to which Atlas Kadsdale's column belonged, represented a specter that echoed over the European continent.

In the battleship combat intelligence center with only one person, Aurora, a major of the Marine Corps of the People's Union Grand Army Corps, "Special Nautical Infantry", was standing in the center of the cabin, staring at the electronic map in front of him.

This battleship is like her arm, or in other words, this battleship is a part of her, and it is very appropriate-yes, this is what the ship's mother Aurel said after she joined the relevant departments of the People's Federation from the original universe. Replaced with a new hull.

The order to execute Plan No. 11 has been communicated. Aurora entered the password on the special safe panel in the corner of the combat intelligence center, inserted the key, and opened the sealed document.The automatic recording device on the safe recorded the opening time, and Aurora recorded the time of opening the safe and unsealed documents in her logbook.

She stared at the words, numbers, data, tables, and pictures on the paper.Without any action, the display screens at each fighting position in the combat information center were changing.

Data injection, target locking, missile power-on, system self-check... On the huge, "weakly armed" hull, the cover of the large vertical launch system has been opened.The gray-blue projectile inside was exposed.

Before the attack order came, Aurora started to check over and over again.

At the same time, in the fire command center of the battleship "General 113" of the Kazdel Column Land Fleet of the 1th Division of the Extraterrestrial Corps of the People's Federation, Captain Gary, the gunner, was still smoking his cigar.

This time he changed to the elegant "Romeo No. 1" slim tube, but the heavy-drinking gunner was still using a wasteful pumping method to relieve his tension before the battle.

For the 113th Division, land ships are easy to build but crews are hard to find.The automated combat program for a combat unit like a land liner is still being written, after all, its behavior mode, action characteristics, and operating logic are different from tanks and space battleships.It is only a matter of profit to recruit crew members from the Space Fleet to serve as the seeds of the Land Fleet—no matter how important the Land Fleet is, it is a job in the atmosphere, and it is impossible for the Space Fleet to make too many concessions.

Therefore, after the battle in the northwest tundra hammered the backbone of the Ursus Empire's new battleship, he and his old boss Yang Weili went to the Kazdel column to command the most powerful land battleship.

The heavy task of providing direct fire support for the defense line around Kazdale City fell on the only super land line battleship in the whole column.As always, Gary is slightly nervous before each actual battle, which makes him like to smoke continuously to relieve; and every time, this tension will disappear without a trace with the trembling of the hull when firing.

Sitting on the battle position next to the main console of the fire command center, Gary moved his hands exposed after taking off the hand armor from the power armor, and then pressed the keyboard.

Using a keyboard rather than a personal cyborg implant to interface with a ship's command system terminal is a matter of delicacy.As he entered the coordinates and shooting plans of each target, the battleship fire control system converted them into the firing elements of the naval gun.

On the display screen that acts as a "porthole" on the bulkhead of the fire control center, the pictures taken by the hull camera are displayed in real time.After Gary finished inputting, confirm repeatedly, and finally press the Enter key, the huge battleship turret began to adjust the turret steering and gun barrel elevation angle under the control of the fire control system.

It is effortless to tap the keyboard, but the huge turret automatically rotates and raises the gun.The automatic loading system pushes the whole shell, and then, the unique electric heating naval gun system of the Admiral-class battleship begins to charge the warhead and propulsion of the shell.

The nanometer metastable material used as charge and propellant begins to absorb and store energy, and begins to enter a metastable state.The standard combination of energy input frequencies during charging determines the physical and chemical properties of the warhead, allowing the warhead to be successfully activated and become a high-explosive round that will release its full energy upon triggering of the fuze.

Gary looked up, waiting for the order to come.

The soldiers of the People's Federation who are waiting for orders under the same rising sun are not only the comrades who command the long-range firepower system.On the outskirts of Hamburg far from Kazdale, a man and a woman are sitting on the top of a grassy hillside, looking at the silhouette of the tall communication antenna of the Hamburg Communications General Station of the Royal Army Hamburg in the distance.

Putting the UMP45 submachine gun on her lap, the girl with a gray side ponytail and a scar through her left eye said, "Commander..."

The man in the gray trench coat complained: "Are you calling me, or that 'command'?"

The girl choked, rolled her eyes, and switched from Kazdelian to Russian: "командир...Chuck, it's still—okay."

She took a deep breath, her voice suddenly sweetened: "Shikikansama—"

The man narrowed his eyes: "Well, yes, that's the smell... ouch!"

The tactical puppet UMP45 withdrew the kick that hit the commander's side waist: "Comrade He Muping, that smell is too strong, ah, put it back, understand."

The old hyperspace scout of the People's Federation, Marine Corps Colonel He Muping curled his lips, and adjusted the radio in his arms: "Well, anyway, these are not important. Are you ready?"

"404 may not be able to do anything else, sneaking is an expert. Wait to see the big fireworks, you. I think the scheduled time is coming soon. If that shit is useless, I have to use my mental cloud map."

"I figured it would work... well, it's time to speak up."

When He Muping said these words, Teresia had just pressed the red button to start the countdown in the combat hall of the East Kazdale coalition general staff headquarters in Kazdale City.

With Kelsey's expression full of black lines, Comand strode over to the control panel, picked up the microphone, and flipped the switch.

The radio broadcasting system already in place modulated his voice into radio waves, covering every communication and broadcasting channel used by Terra.The sound travels at the speed of light, spreading throughout Kazdel in the blink of an eye:

"Attention, attention, this is broadcast content for all Kazdale:"

Commander paused for a moment, and then said in a deep, steady baritone, "The air is trembling, as if the sky is burning!"

Teresia took a deep breath and continued loudly: "Yes, the storm is coming!"

Before the words fell, the mutation closest to Kazdel appeared.

In the long shadow of the warships on the outskirts of Kazdaele City, the large vertical launch array of the Aurora regional air defense-strategic strike cruiser opened the flame exhaust channels of each unit.

Aurora in the combat situation center released the last weapon safety, and after holding the electronic trigger in her hand, she saw all 24 missile symbols in the weapon control window light up in green.At this moment, the male voice of "the air is trembling" came into her ears.

Aurora whispered to herself: "Long live humanity, long live the alliance!"

Pull the trigger at the same time.

The moment the electronic ignition device was switched on, there was a dull explosion, like distant thunder.The next sound was another low roar, which seemed to come from a giant beast that was waking up deep in the earth, and also like a flood rolling in from afar to engulf the entire world.

Every window in the entire Casdale City trembled slightly in the sound.The sound quickly intensified, and changed from a low-pitched roar to a high-pitched bang, making the steel palace-like land battleships around Aurora on the outskirts of Kazdel City tremble.

Blazing flames rushed out from the exhaust path, even overwhelming the morning glow in the distance. Twenty-four huge and expensive ship-based medium-range ballistic missiles rushed out of the missile vertical launch unit of the Aurora one after another.Huge fire dragons rose slowly from Aurora's deck, and the flames of the fire dragons made the crew on the surrounding land ships dare not look directly at them.

The surrounding ships and distant cities were shrouded in a layer of orange light.The white smoke trails of the missiles overlapped together, like a silver road to heaven.Balls of fire rose high into the sky along the silver bridge, and the shadows of the ships around them turned like second hands on the land of Kazdel in its light.

People in the entire city of Kazdaele, civilians and soldiers, soldiers, officers, and generals, all looked at the new sun with dumbfounded eyes; the sound of gunfire on the distant defense line surrounding the city suddenly subsided.

People's heads were slowly and continuously raised with the climbing missiles, and they saw that the speed of the dragon's ascent was accelerating, rising higher and higher, turning into a light spot, and the sound it made became faint.Later, those points of light flew to the west, and soon merged into the sky intertwined with red, yellow, black and blue.

Before people could react from their shock, a more familiar terrifying sound sounded from the west side—it was the roar of a super giant cannon!

On the west side of Kazdale City, the battleship "General 5000" weighing more than 1 tons trembled violently. Deadly high-energy projectiles... Immediately afterwards, the standard cruisers and destroyers of the battleship Atlas Land Fleet also opened fire one after another, with 460MM and 203MM naval guns for fierce fire.

And in Hamburg, more than [-] kilometers west of Kazdale City, three red flares soared into the sky.The huge antenna of the Wang Tingjun Communications General Station collapsed in the soaring smoke and dust caused by the explosion.

The "big thunderstorm" is coming!

**

At the beginning, the Atlas advance battle group used a 155 self-propelled howitzer battalion, which made Wang Tingjun very anxious.The Atlas fleet now gathered on the outskirts of Kazdaele has gathered most of the landships of the Kazdaele column. In addition to the battleships, there are also five of the six squadrons, each with one squadron. Land line standard cruiser and two land line standard destroyers.On these "small" ships, each cruiser has two 203MM single-barreled or twin-barreled naval guns, and each destroyer has a 155 or 203MM single-barreled naval gun.

We already know that on the land ship of the Atlas Land Fleet, a naval gun turret can support a 155 self-propelled howitzer battalion of the Army.

And now there are fifteen such warships!

What kind of firepower is this? !

What kind of power is this? !

What kind of blow is this? !

Groups of artillery shells weighing several tons traced arcing trajectories in the air, making a roar like a speeding train, roaring and falling on the Wang Tingjun in the distance, and immediately burst into flames.After several more minutes, the rumbling explosion reached the ears of the fleet officers and soldiers.

The UAV, artillery observation post and artillery reconnaissance team immediately observed the shell drop point and reported the correction data.In this way, the Atlas fleet fired rounds of rapid fire without haste.At the end of this arc-shaped trajectory, terrifying glare pierced through the smoke and dust of the explosion, and huge pillars of smoke rose one after another, forming a row of long walls.

The artillery fire of the naval guns formed a dense barrage, starting from the front of the positions of the First Army and the Second Army of the Wang Ting Army's Central Assault Group, and crushed them in depth round after round.This piece of land seemed to be covered by terrifying loud noises and soaring smoke and dust. Orange flames danced in the churning smoke and dust. Dots sputtered into the air.The explosion at Wang Tingjun's ammunition depot was as brilliant as fireworks.

On the Wang Ting Army's position, the terrifying storm of artillery fire slowly but unstoppably swept away the position inch by inch.The nearby explosions were mixed with the dull sound of cannons rumbling from the distance, making it impossible to distinguish.

The violent artillery fire reflected half of the horizon in the distance into a red, turning this place into a hell on earth.Every roar of these naval guns is like a huge war hammer hitting the fighting will of the officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting army.Every inch of this land seems to have turned into this kind of smoke rising into the sky and waves of fire like a wall.The hoarded ammunition was constantly being hit, and countless ammunition exploded one after another, lighting up clusters of fire trees and silver flowers that soared into the sky, making the half of the night that had not yet faded neatly converge in advance...

The center-line assault group of the Wang Ting Army, which Teresis trusted and relied on the most, became an ant on the hot pot in the face of this sudden and extremely perverted artillery fire.They were bombed and ran around, and the most basic order was completely lost; the soldiers dropped their weapons, armor, ammunition, equipment, equipment, and everything that prevented them from escaping. things, and even dropped the military flag.And most of their officers did not stop the behavior of the soldiers, because the officers took the lead in fleeing for their lives...

On the roof of the General Staff Headquarters of the East Kazdale coalition in Kazdale City, Teresia and Kelsey, who were looking at the battlefield, fell into a trembling numbness under extreme shock at this moment.

Comand tried very hard to calm his expression, but he still couldn't help showing a triumphant look of a villain.He asked: "Ms. Kelsey, you just questioned how the defense line of Kazdale City, which is now in danger, can be defended if the newly mobilized National Guard troops are not used to strengthen the defense line? Now, do you know?"

Kelsey turned his head in slow, stiff movements, looking at him with a look Comand had never seen before.

Suddenly, the Atlas landships in the three directions west, south and north of Kazdel ceased fire, and the sound of the guns fell silent.But another background sound hidden in the gunfire gradually became clear: it was a low and high-pitched roar.The generals and staff officers on the top of the building looked in the direction of the roar, and saw something gradually appearing on the eastern skyline, which was a sparse and neat black spot.They moved rapidly across the background of the sky, leaving behind them the condensed white trails of aerojet engines.These wakes are equally neat, forming a patch in the sky...

"Brush." ​​Theresa said subconsciously.

Comand explained slowly at the side: "Our air force. Ah, do these guys still want to throw iron bombs horizontally in the air? This height and this dense formation have no actual combat value other than scaring people. But words Then again, the flying boys have had enough. So, let them scare Tracy."

Before the words were finished, the black dots split into two halves over Kazdel City, flying towards the northwest and southwest respectively.

"Okay, they are going to open the way for the two iron pincers of the pincer offensive. How can we reduce the resistance encountered by the assault group as much as possible without damaging the road... Hey, it's the same old way, large thermobaric Bomb. No fun."

Commander's grunts sounded like the whispers of an ancient god in the ears of the officers and soldiers of the East Kasdale coalition army, which was incomprehensible.They just stared stiffly at the two mushroom clouds rising into the sky one after another in the distance.Amidst the loud noise that took minutes to roll in from a distance, their bodies and souls trembled together, watching every window in Kazdale City, which had been taped with air-raid tape, shatter into countless pieces.

PS:

Come on, light up!

So let's count the votes (suddenly weak)

PS1: Is it a bit too much.The technical level and form of the battlefield in the article are still in the early days of World War I...

Chapter 40 Panzer Vor!

In the southwest of Kazdale City, at the starting position of the 113nd Brigade of the Kazdale Column of the 1102th Division of the People's Federation of Extraterrestrial Corps, Ursas and Saka, who were just bragging about their artillery fire to the stunned National Guard comrades The commanders are now in the same consternation as Kazdel's comrades.They all froze in place at this moment, quietly looking at the Wang Ting Army's position that was being bombed a few kilometers away.

Every few seconds, a huge fireball would rise in the distance, and the brightness of that instant burst would eclipse the sun in the sky.On the small soil slope stuck on both sides of the road, a fire ignited soaring into the sky. The vegetation and fortifications on it were completely engulfed by the flames and thick smoke. Only the flashing fireballs and strong lights continued to flicker in the smoke.

Hedley, head of the 13th Infantry Regiment of the 37th Division of the National Guard, whispered to the Sarkaz tank company commander next to him, "I think the name of this demon should be given to you Atlas."

"Please, we don't like the word 'demon' very much, it's not aimed at the Sarkaz race, that's all."

People turned around and looked in surprise at Lieutenant Colonel He Fan of the Marine Corps of the People's United Army in a black fur coat.

He Fan is now in command of this brigade-level mechanized combat group with the soldiers of the People's Federation as the backbone and the commanders and fighters of the integrated movement as the main personnel. There is also a Kazdel National Self-Defense Army Infantry Regiment. They are collectively referred to as the "Southern Front Assault Battle Group." .The lieutenant colonel nodded to his commanders with a cold face, and said, "Comrades, are you ready?"

"Yes, sir!" The commanders replied in unison.

"Everyone on your marks, see you in Hamburg in three days."

The commanders saluted him together, then turned around and scattered in all directions, rushing towards their respective units and units.

He Fan turned around, took off his coat at the rear door of his armored command vehicle and threw it into the cabin, revealing the armored one-piece combat uniform on his body, then quickly climbed onto the roof of the command vehicle, looking around at the long armored queue that was discharged along the road .

The avant-garde company is a mixed company. On the Ferrus-Manus battle tanks and Chimera infantry fighting vehicles that are deployed in a wedge formation, the fully armed People's Union armored soldiers and armored infantry are standing by.The main force of the brigade behind is a long line of Rhino-B main battle tanks and bullfrog infantry fighting vehicles with low levels of firepower, protection, mobility, and informationization. The tank company and armored infantry company composed of local officers and soldiers are also ready.In a further position, the three medium-sized land-based amphibious assault ships belonging to the brigade and a supporting land-based ship squadron are also ready...

The air force's thermobaric bombing has subsided.There were also many flames in the continuous suffocation area formed in the distance, which indicated that the air had reflowed into the bombardment area of ​​the thermobaric bomb.

At this moment, another light shines on the commanders and fighters of the Southern Assault Battle Group from behind.They turned their heads one after another and saw two green flares rising into the sky.

He Fan standing in the hatch of the top door of the command cabin remained motionless, staring straight ahead.At this time, the "Alliance" 155MM self-propelled howitzer of the column artillery brigade, and the "Petrified Lizard" 132MM self-propelled howitzer of the artillery battalion of the brigade-level battle group began to roar.

Although the roaring artillery fire was relatively quiet, it rolled out a thin barrage of bullets in the direction of the armored column, only 50 meters away from the veterans of the People's Federation at the front.Air-exploded shrapnel and arrow shells cleared the way for the assault group inch by inch.

The moment Xu Jin's barrage began to move forward, He Fan swung his arm vigorously, and his steel-like strong voice spread along the throat receiver to the entire southern assault battle group.

"PanzerVor! (Tanks, go!)"

Accompanied by He Fan's Kazdelian passwords as he followed the Romans, there was a sudden sound of steel rubbing, and the torrent of armor rolled forward along this rough road, and the dust that was raised up covered the sky.

A new mechanical roar came from above. It was the front-line aviation unit in charge of implementing close air support and specially covering the assault arrows.These fixed-wing fighter jets and vertical take-off and landing gunboats will hover over He Fan's head at all times.

All kinds of mechanical roars played a gorgeous and enthusiastic elegy for the regime of the Kazdel Military Council.

At 1093 o'clock in the morning on June 6, 22, Kazdale City was close to the southwest, and the No. 20 Fourth Infantry Division of the Fourth Army of Kazdale King's Court was stationed.
