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

They didn't take it seriously in the past, but when two Predator drones roared in at an ultra-low altitude, covering the entire company's Wang Ting Army infantry in a sea of ​​​​napalm flames, and then turned around and used the Gatling cannon to blow the entire half After the skirmish lines were smashed into fragments sticking to the ground, the stabbing heads were greatly shocked.

Wang Tingjun's offensive collapsed, and those who were still alive dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.The officers and fighters of the National Self-Defense Forces looked silently at the napalm fire curtain that was close at hand. The covered soldiers of the Wang Ting Army were jumping up and down and howling sharply. at every turn.The short gunshots continued to ring out, it was an act of mercy for the Sarkaz clan to relieve the pain.

The scorching heat hit everyone's faces, but the old mercenaries who had experienced many battles felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.Hedley turned his head slowly, smiled awkwardly and said to the team leader of Hawkeye-5: "You guys... are quite efficient."

The voice on the other side was not as elated as he had imagined, and the staff sergeant of the People's Federation replied in a deep voice: "I just hope that this will end soon...well, your position is safe for the time being. If you If necessary, please call us later, goodbye."

Several Human Alliance soldiers disappeared as quickly as they appeared.At the same time, Frost Star listened to Hedley's less hasty report, finally nodded and confessed, and immediately began to report the situation to Hangou: "Chief! Our battalion is holding on! We have cleared out the infiltrated camp. The enemy, the enemy's offensive in both main directions has also been crushed!"

"Very good, now the enemy is probing and attacking around the entire perimeter of the defense line, trying to find out the weak spots on our defense line. So no one area can show weakness, understand?"

"understand!"

After hearing the very energetic answer from the white rabbit, Hangou turned around and looked around:

People's United Artillery, as always, performed at a very high level.In order to effectively cover the Fulda circular position, part of the artillery and air force responsible for launching the blocking barrage used a special bombing mode, with the circular position as the center, so that the impact point spread out and hit the outside, like water waves formed by throwing stones in the water. The initial point of impact was on the outer edge of the circular defense line, and it expanded round by round.This kind of "moving blocking shooting" is relatively scattered, and the possibility of hitting two shots in a row at one point is almost equal to zero, which can prevent accidental injury from artillery fire to the maximum extent and cover the Wang Ting army troops moving around the battlefield.

Further to the distance is the more powerful "Motion Blocking Shooting" barrage, which firmly jams the key positions on the battlefield.You only need to look up to see that there are several walls of fire blasted by shells in the distance.

The wall of fire itself is composed of explosions, smoke and shock waves, tumbling and boiling.But the continuous artillery fire made them never dissipate, and they stood in the distance like entities, brighter than lights before dawn.

Although there are eight regiments of Wang Tingjun captured by the reactance unit, as long as there are more enemy troops who dare to approach this wall of fire, their bones will immediately fly to the ground—and the enemy troops who dare to pass through this wall of fire will shrink one by one. Good luck in a row...

The support of open-ground long-range firepower is extremely important for this small circular position in the stormy sea.The enemy's direct attack on this position has never exceeded two regiments, and the organizational system has been blown up, so they can only fight in companies and platoons, without much numerical advantage.Otherwise, although the troops here can fight, they are not interstellar fighters after all, so it is hard to say whether they can hold on.

PS: Another five thousand today, I’m almost going to die.

It’s another new week, since I haven’t been anywhere except the computer this weekend, how much can I give ()

In addition, I know that there is nothing to complain about in pure writing, and it may not be interesting, so friends who are watching please give me a word here, otherwise I will feel guilty.

Chapter 52 The Bloodfiend is Coming!

Until 7 a.m. on July 5, Manfred had not received a piece of news that made him feel comfortable:

Unsurprisingly, the troops who barely made it through the enemy's interdiction barrage all suffered heavy casualties, although with firm determination and tenacious fighting will they regrouped on the spot and continued to advance, trying their best to complete the tasks assigned to them.However, the consequences of logistical disruption and serious casualties have been fully demonstrated: even if the entire army was searched, Tracys would not be able to give Manfred many weapons and ammunition.

The most elite troops of Wang Tingjun were able to seize and equip a large number of Kalashnikovs before, but now they can only make do with the old Mauser G98, which has been despised before - the full set of technical information and manufacturing equipment is also from Atlas , but the military council regime has thoroughly understood the bolt-action rifles; With heavy losses, coupled with targeted strikes by Atlas long-range artillery and aviation, the artillery of the Wang Ting Army was silent in Fulda except for the opening speech on the 3rd, and the mortars of the infantry became the backbone of the firepower !

The dilemma of soldiers is even more stretched. The long-term brutal fighting has exhausted those well-trained and experienced veterans.The huge casualties caused since Atlas entered the war in full force have only made matters worse.Not to mention the veterans who were in the army before the war, the recruits recruited before rushing eastward to Kazdale City have now become the backbone of the command, and the soldiers can only rely on the disbandment of various auxiliary units in the army to replenish.

Although Fulda has eight regiments on the front line, in the current state where everything is unsightly except for the number of personnel, how can the troops conquer the enemy's positions that are firmly fortified and covered by powerful air and ground firepower?

Seeing his troops being bombed and maimed one by one, Manfred, who was in a state of anxiety, really had nothing to do.Now the hope of the whole army to break through is pinned on him and the troops in the direction of Fulda, and we must not give up no matter what!

The bloody battle lasted for a whole day on July 7th. The three infantry regiments that first launched the attack all suffered heavy losses, but they were unable to shake the enemy's defensive positions at all. Occupy, and lost everything in the short counterattack led by the shield guards.What is even more frustrating is that the losses were by no means all during the battle-a considerable number of soldiers of the Wangting Army did not rush to the flanks of the Fulda circular position after passing through the artillery blockade, but went straight along the Fulda Gap Fleeing to West Kasdale...

With a heavy heart, Manfred compiled all the remaining active troops into the plan for the next stage of the offensive, and had to tell the remaining troops that the enemy was about to die soon, and reinforcements would come up soon. Big talk.He later recalled: "Any officer must have a heart of stone. For example, you have to send soldiers to places where you think they will not survive, but at that time you had to exchange the lives of soldiers for a moment on the front line." Breathe, it's a callous job indeed."

The Blood Demon King who rushed to the front line in an emergency brought even worse news.

The shelter was dark and gloomy, and the Maharaja's little white face seemed to be suspended in the air out of thin air, making one's scalp tingle.But the sadness and helplessness on that white face added a "human" emotion to him, making him less scary.

But it was still unpleasant to hang out with those vampires.Especially when the Gorefiend Lord came to report the funeral:

"On the Eastern Front, the vanguard of the enemy has rushed to the Meinsker line."

Manfred recalled the location of the representative of the place name, and then he was dumbfounded: "It's only...ninety kilometers away from Fulda?"

"Yes, you are also aware of the situation of the troops. We cannot stop the enemy's attack." The Gorefiend Lord said in a low tone, "Tracey has issued a death order and must open the Fulda Gap as soon as possible and return to Sika Zdel's Passage."

Manfred spread his hands: "I can't do it."

If you can't do it, you can't do it...Soldiers, especially those who have been in war, are highly realistic.Because the logic of war is like this, simple, straightforward, and cruel.

"Of course he knew that. So he put me in charge of the offense in the lot."

The Blood Demon King actually... smiled at the frowning Manfred: "Relax. I have no intention of fighting for power now. My royal court suffered heavy losses in this war, and the remaining These are the last strength. If we don't take them back, this royal court will perish, just like the Wendigo. In terms of breaking through the opposite position, the needs of these 14 people are equally urgent."

Manfred breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay...the next attack—"

"Put all the troops in and leave no reserves." Gorefiend Maharaja said calmly, "Don't worry about other difficulties."

"what do you mean--"

"It doesn't matter, I will make a move."

Leaving those words behind, the Gorefiend Monarch strode out of the small door of the shelter.Then he was pushed back by the blast of shells outside, and staggered and coughed on the wooden wall.

Manfred: "...."

The small antics are full of meaningful symbols: even Sarkaz is proud, as the royal court that has long been superior to the heroes of Terra, it is still in front of the modern high-tech war machines of Atlas.. ....Fragile.

In the face of this unprecedented reconnaissance and strike system, there is only one thing that can be compared with it in the perception of Wang Tingjun officers and soldiers:

"Disaster!"

For superheroes, the power of Atlas is astonishing.Their combat system is different from anything they have been familiar with before, but it is powerful.Being able to display that range, speed, accuracy, and killing radius is also a legend for today's supernatural beings.

Therefore, the Gorefiend Lord and his royal court soldiers can only run or lie down in the roar of artillery fire like the most ordinary soldiers, and crawl forward cautiously until they reach the starting position of the attack.

Then, Hangou, who was in the center of the circular position, saw a blood-colored ray rising from afar, literally replacing the morning light in the east.

Hangou muttered to himself: "Different world, same routine. Still the original recipe, still the familiar taste..."

The Space Marine psyker in command sent him a worried signal.

Hangou nodded: "This rating should be roughly correct. Inform the Division Executive Committee that a subspace fluctuation event has occurred."

The backpack on the back had an antenna, and the backpack was huge by Space Marine standards. The command squad communicator sent out a short burst of signals.At the same time, Hangou refocused his attention on this position: "Well, the good news is that He Fan is only half a day's drive away from us, and if we work hard from the east, we will be able to hit the shells to the edge of our position .Today is the final battle. So..."

The eyepiece of the Astartes powered armor's helmet flashed with a cold red light: "It's comfortable to beat a drowned dog, but it's not comfortable to be bitten by a drowned dog."

**

If it is still up for debate whether the natives of Terra should be considered aliens or sub-humans, it is even possible for the vast majority of the natives to become glorious citizens of the People's Federation.Then it’s hard to say what the remaining ghosts and monsters are.

Sarkaz, as a race of mythical "demons" from various countries in the dimension where the "high-dimensional creator" is located, quite a few people may find it difficult to survive the cleansing.Especially when origin stones and origin stone skills have always had an inexplicable relationship with psionic power.

Origin Stone is a general-purpose nano-robot left by the previous civilization, with various uses and powerful functions; and Origin Stone technology is essentially the various functions of these nano-robots as tools.

However, this explanation cannot cover all the things that Terran people use "spells", "witchcraft" and other things to summarize——

The remote control and manipulation of nanorobots rely on psionic energy.

For most of Terra's demihumans, their psychic powers are so weak that they can only be used to remotely control nanobots, and then the robots are used as functional structures and energy supplies to implement Originium techniques; The psionic power itself is powerful enough.Excellent masters of origin stone skills and outstanding psychic users, the essence of Terra's extraordinary people are these two kinds of people.

It is too difficult to accurately distinguish between these two types of people. Originium and Originium skills are inseparable from the "spiritual energy" in the Renlian standard, and are inseparable.However, it is still easy for Renlian to distinguish pure psionic gadgets.For example, the large bloody light that the Gorefiends shined on the east of the Fulda circular position.

The officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting Army underwent wonderful changes under the "blessing" of the Gorefiend Lord.They began to feel that their bodies had become strong and light, not afraid of pain or even damage; half-starved and half-satisfied were no longer an obstacle, even if they only had a rifle with no bullets, they could easily take down the opposite position now!

Well...it's fine as long as you ignore the tentacles and even tentacles growing on your body.

Seeing that he was about to become the meat between the anvil and the hammer, Wang Tingjun, who was caught between two breads, was completely red-eyed.In a word, if the Fulda gap cannot be opened, the whole army of Wang Tingjun will die!The only way to save him is to pull out the steel thorn stuck in his throat before he chokes to death!

Manfred reduced the remaining troops from yesterday's battle on the spot and strengthened them into today's main force.Yesterday's attack involved three infantry regiments. Today, four regiments attacked together, with the Blood Demon King's Court taking the lead. The artillery that had just arrived was only three 75-artillery batteries and one 105-artillery battery, leaving no room to spare. Shoot out all the artillery shells you brought here, then grab your rifle and charge!

By nine o'clock in the morning, the fighting had reached a fever pitch.

Atlas's artillery fire and air strikes seemed endless.Those armed drones have begun to provide support at any cost, and their density has reached a crazy level, reducing the altitude to the minimum.The Gorefiend Monarch saw with his own eyes that a Predator drone emptied out all the ammunition, flew by at ultra-low altitude, and cut off a telephone line erected by Wang Tingjun with its wings!

These large numbers of armed drones with ferocious firepower exert an incomparable effect on those advanced gadgets that can accurately fly into the window when dropped outside the atmosphere; the gadgets with four rotors have an excellent scaring effect on Wang Tingjun. All kinds of bombs, rockets and machine gun shells plowed again and again in the positions and formations of the Wang Ting army, and countless soldiers were bloody and bloody in the flames of machine gun fire and bomb explosions.

As the Royal Court Army began to mobilize all its forces in the direction of Fulda to fight to the death, Atlas no longer held back.Manfred first left the headquarters with a capable team and rushed to the front line. The headquarters, which was packing up its things, was hit by a dozen precision-guided air bombs, causing casualties and casualties. The equipment was destroyed. If Manfred hadn't run so fast, If you also bring a radio, the Wang Ting Army in the Fulda direction will lose their command!

At the same time, the main force of the Wang Ting army, who could only move along the bottom of the valley called the Fulda Gap, encountered terrible artillery fire again. The 155MM self-propelled howitzer and the 203MM long-range rocket launcher sent a rain of fire to the Sarkaz people.Rows of shells burst through the air like a meteor shower, blasting a tumbling wall of fire in the formation of Wang Tingjun's advancing formation. The people in the center of the fire wall were instantly reduced to ashes, and those on the edge of the fire wall could still be left with scorched and broken limbs. Fly up ten meters high.

Dense air burst shrapnel exploded above the heads of the officers and soldiers of the Royal Court. The fragments and steel balls dwarfed a once-in-a-century rainstorm.Countless steel balls and steel arrows rained down like a torrential rain, setting off a rolling cloud of smoke and dust on the ground.Entire platoons and companies of infantry twitched helplessly in the steel rain, fell to the ground and wailed, unable to even scream before they turned into rotten flesh.

In the Fulda valley, piles of bloody corpses can be seen everywhere.Faced with this high-precision long-range bombardment, Wang Tingjun had no countermeasures, he could only grit his teeth and rush forward desperately, as long as he rushed through the wall of fire——

They will be able to see red with the bayonets of the defensive line of Fulda's ring position.

Long-range shells and rockets exploded one after another, and the soldiers of the Royal Army fell in groups in the valley of Fulda.But they fought one after another, seeing death as home.

Either win or die, they have no third way to go!

The long-range rocket launchers fired again, and hundreds of rocket shells exploded over the northeast entrance of the Fulda Valley. Nearly [-] anti-personnel landmines appeared in the air like dark clouds, forming a minefield that suddenly appeared on the ground.The follow-up echelons who were following up immediately blocked there and could not move.

And an infantry regiment that has entered the valley is facing an even more terrifying Hell of Fire.

It's hard to say what the "blessing" of the blood demon brought to the officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting army. Apart from the strong body and hideous appearance, there may also be bloodthirsty desire and chicken blood injected into the brain.In addition to the actual killing and casualties, yesterday's shelling and air strikes also greatly weakened the fighting will of the officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting Army, making their attack power quite insufficient.Tentacles grew out of these tattered clothes today, but guys with bloodshot eyes swarmed over without hesitation.The waves were like rising tides, barely visible in the wide valley floor of Fulda.

In response, National Guard officers and fighters responded with intensive machine gun and mortar fire.A pair of general-purpose machine guns and large-caliber machine guns sprayed out shiny tongues of flame, and the scorching stream of bullets seemed to mow down groups of soldiers from the Wang Ting Army, while the roar of the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns became louder. Immediately, it became a jeopardy of life. Countless clusters of smoke and flames rose among the Wang Ting army, and a large number of fiery fragments screamed everywhere, turning the smoke into a pervasive blood mist.

The 105MM light howitzer shakes the low barrel and shoots flat, and the heavy shells almost fly past the helmets of the first-line defenders; the barrel of the 120MM heavy mortar is almost vertical to the sky.The firepower of these "small cannons" was equally terrifying. One shell was enough to completely wipe out a loosely formed infantry platoon. The smoke and dust from the explosion rushed straight up to 30 to [-] meters, and the sharp shrapnel screamed and shot all around.There was nothing left at the point of impact except for the deep crater, as if the crater exuding gunpowder smoke swallowed up a dozen large living people; a little farther away, the soldiers of the Wang Ting Army who were charging were shot into their bodies by terrifying fragments, Falling down and wailing.

Long-range artillery, howitzers, mortars, machine guns, barbed wire, minefields and trenches, an insurmountable moat.In less than 10 minutes, the corpses of Wang Tingjun soldiers were arranged in several circles around the defense line.

But this regiment with a broken back and the Wang Tingjun troops behind them all went all out.This infantry regiment made up a platoon when it was destroyed, and made up a company when it was destroyed. The avalanche and tsunami-like charge seemed endless.Their impact was decisive and swift, and the directional remote-controlled landmines were quickly piled up with casualties, and the barbed wire fence fell in a series of explosions.The soldiers of the Wang Ting Army rushed desperately towards the machine gun positions that were pouring death storms towards them, even though they were cut down layer by layer like carrots, they still rushed; Behind the parapet built by the corpses of our own people!

When the mortars destroyed those machine gun points, no one could tell whether those who were blown up were dead or alive.

Behind this regiment, the officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting Army rushing towards the rocket minefield were covered with all kinds of explosives.They threw rows of grenades into the minefield with all their strength, detonating the mines one by one, and then continued to push forward and continue to drop bombs to clear the mines.Although the speed of demining in this way is not slow, the effect is extremely rough. From time to time, people disappear in the billows of smoke and dust under their feet.The one behind took over without hesitation, and didn't care if there were any missed mines under his feet!

Arriving last night, the few artillerymen of the Royal Army quietly established a position among the peaks on the south side of Fulda, and now they are rapidly firing all the ammunition at the Atlas artillery in the circular position.Even before the observers reported the damage effect, the artillery fire following the guidance of the artillery reconnaissance school positioning radar blasted the Wang Tingjun artillery of the 105 and three 75 artillery companies to pieces together with their cannons.However, the circular position was also in a mess, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Relying on this momentum of ignoring death, at noon, the infantry of the Wang Ting Army finally rushed through the firepower barriers and approached the circular defense line after paying a heavy sacrifice.

The brutal hand-to-hand combat began.

The "thud" of bayonets entering flesh and the "crack" of broken bones echoed in the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides. The National Guard soldiers watched in horror as the enemy, who was shot several times but was still agile and powerful, pounced. Come up.They used automatic rifles, bolt-action rifles, bayonets, daggers, hunting knives, sabers, spears and even wooden sticks that had just been broken off trees to fight with them. They had tentacles and tentacles on their bodies, their eyes were blood red, and they let out ear-piercing howls... ....The fact that it did not collapse immediately was the result of the courage and experience this unit had developed in the battle.The two National Guard battalions on the front line tried to launch a counterattack, but they had no effect except leaving the bodies of commanders and soldiers and the wounded who were torn apart by the enemy in the blink of an eye.

The National Guard began to retreat in a difficult but orderly manner.The officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting Army who finally broke through the line of defense excitedly continued to charge forward, trying to hit the center of the circular line of defense and tear those damned artillery pieces to pieces.

Then it ran into the blocking of the shield guards and the airborne infantry.

The tough shield guards formed a square formation and blocked the core position.Although the tactics are very backward, it is applicable to the current situation where the Wang Tingjun's firepower is extremely weak and basically has no projection firepower, and the protection of the shield guards is not what it used to be after being replaced with power armor.

The officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting Army chased after the National Guard who had fled all the way, and when they finally rushed out of the first defensive zone——

He saw a small phalanx wearing power armor and holding a jumping shield head-on.

PS: I can't stand it anymore, the plot is accelerating!

Chapter 53 Gorefiend Sent

What is incompatible with the phalanx formation is its terrifying attack capability.Intense armored rifle fire roared, using 23MM warheads to smash more than twenty Wang Tingjun soldiers into pieces.

At the same time, the 107 rocket launcher group on the circular position artillery position opened fire again, exploding a sea of ​​​​fire at the front of the position. The steady stream of Wang Ting soldiers came to an abrupt end, leaving only the Wang Ting soldiers who had rushed into the defense line to face the shields. guard.

Even if the fear of pain and stimulation of the body gave the officers and soldiers of the Wang Ting Army a short-term terrifying power, even intermediate-power rifle bullets could not knock them down immediately-but the firepower of large-caliber machine guns and even small-caliber machine guns is enough to literally tear them apart body, shattering the basis of all their actions.

The scale is not large, but the thick and solid phalanx moves forward steadily, shooting a round of shooting in a maximum of ten steps.The swarming Wang Tingjun soldiers exploded into pieces in the explosion.
