As the intense sandstorms that wrapped around the area until a few minutes ago disappeared like lies, and the rays of the sun gleaming from the sunny sky descended whether this was still the case.
Without any foretaste, the soldiers of the 1st and 4th Brigade Combat Regiments were rushing into a combat posture, even as they were upset and shocked by the Imperial Army, which suddenly appeared at the end of their eyes and noses.
In the anti-tank defense position, which is a defense requirement, artillery and infantry rush out the sand that has accumulated in the trenches, matching the re-installed anti-tank, mortar and machine gun aiming at the imperial forces that are rallying across the negative river.
Replenishment of tanks, self-propelled guns and other types of combat vehicles and support vehicles proceeded at a rapid pitch throughout the city of Pompeii, and was arranged from the vehicles that had been refuelled with fuel and ammunition to the designated holding areas in turn, awaiting that time.
"I have no idea... how did they get in formation over there?... Are you kidding me, you've been going through that sandstorm?
"It can't be, going through that sandstorm, etc. Even demons and beasts are safe... not to mention human suicide."
"That's the same, isn't it? How did you really get here?... Well, this question is behind us. Now let's figure out how to crush our enemies.... but don't get too little information on the enemy... Lieutenant Colonel Rommel, tell the flying infantry to go out for a forcible reconnaissance."
"Ha, right away"
Shortly after the sandstorm stops, he first abandons the question of what magic the Imperial Army showed up in front of him came with, and Colonel Burr sends below Lt. Alberto Georg, captain of the flying infantry unit active in the Cardigan offensive to learn more about the hostilities, over the Imperial Army.
"This is Colonel Barr. Lieutenant Georg, can you hear me? Send it."
"This is Georg. Currently flying over anti-tank defensive positions. Sensitive and perfect. Go ahead. '
"All right. Lieutenant Georg, I don't know when the enemy's going to make a move, so I'm going to ask you to do it quickly, okay? Confirm enemy strength and enemy headquarters location, as well as any reserves behind the enemy. Go back as soon as it's done."
The reconnaissance targets to be confirmed by Colonel Barr will be communicated to the following flying infantry soldiers who were under the task of forcible reconnaissance and were about to jump over the Imperial Army.
"Roger, we will breach and forcibly reconnaissance over enemy lines now!!
While the Dragon Knight and, in some cases, the possible obstruction of the Flying Demon Guided Weapon, Lt. Georg resolutely entered the Empire Army's airspace with his men when he replied to Colonel Barr.
"- After all, is the main enemy militia conscripted from the city or village? Sounds like we're forced to have a whole bunch of numbers... Hmm? You don't have enough supplies? Some guys have farm tools without protective gear on.
He came out to fight back, but this is the end of the line.... but one thing bothers me. How can you afford the face of a militia?
Correspondence from Lieutenant Georg and the others who went on a forcible reconnaissance was temporarily interrupted, while Colonel Burr stuck his binoculars in a peephole at the front command post and watched as the enemy proceeded.
"It's true... what time will they realize they can't defeat us with a number of violence?"
That's what Lieutenant Colonel Rommel said peeking similarly into his binoculars right next to Colonel Barr.
"At least don't bother getting noticed by that fact right now. Hopefully after I die."
"So is that. But it's odd. Why aren't they moving? When this one's ready to attack, you know it's going to hit you unilaterally... or just after the sandstorm stops, you'll have poked through our gap."
"I don't know... it's like I'm waiting for something..."
Five minutes after the radio silenced, when two people were worried about the actions of an enemy army that missed a good opportunity, reports of hiatus and hostility began to enter.
And ten minutes later. Lieutenant Georg's voice like he ate a bubble is delivered to the front command post.
"CP over Georg!! Enemy jamming is faint. While checking for reserve forces behind the enemy, I discovered something odd in points 6-2!! Purple, translucent, elongated cylindrical crystals with pointy tips get humans inside, and that's sticking out on the ground like a grave marker!! That's not one or two either, that's a great number!! I don't know the exact number but it seems to be as many as the Imperial Army in formation!! Ah, the dragon knights are pushing over!! I can't do any more reconnaissance, I'm returning more than this!! Over '
The voice of Lt. Georg, full of urgency that was emanating from the radio, was interrupted, while inside the front command post was engulfed in silence for a moment.
"The report I just came in did mean that the enemy has about 150,000 troops... but that there are 150,000 human crystals?... some kind of magic or ritual?
"Even if it's some kind of magic and ritual, I've never heard of any kind of magic or ritual that uses human crystals."
"Hmm... that said, there were other strange reports. You think something like a black box is placed in the enemy line at even intervals?"
"It's kind of... creepy"
"Ba, Colonel Barr!! Oh my God!!
"What!?
A Serpent soldier, who changed his blood phase as Colonel Barr and Lieutenant Colonel Rommel twisted their necks to the odd hostility that the flying infantry acquired with his life on the line, rolled inside the front command post.
"There is something in the sky, in the sky!!
"I don't know what it is!! Report it accurately!!
"So, but!! That is...... ugh!!
"Chi... what the hell are you talking about"
"Colonel!? Please don't go outside because it's dangerous!!
Colonel Barr, who boiled his business to the report of a Serpent soldier who has no guidelines, does not hear Lt. Col. Rommel stop, and proceeds from the semi-disciplinary front command post to the trench.
"That's it."
"Come on, you're lying... there's what that is..."
Colonel Barr, who glanced into the sky as the soldier pointed his tongue in and out of Tyrothiro, whose tip split into two strands, was shocked for the second time today when he captured something floating in the sky.
For the sake of transparency, the overall outline was just blurred, and I didn't know any details, but based on its immensity, the weapon that the Parabellan army was supposed to have banished - the Aerial Fortress - was no different.
"Commander Rommel!! Contact the division headquarters and the General Command to inform them that you have made contact with the Aerial Fortress and request air support!!
"Copy that!!
"Ya, Colonel!! The guy in the sky solves transparency!!
There was a change in the airborne fortress that floated in the sky as Colonel Burr was flying loud instructions for Lieutenant Colonel Rommel, who was indoors in the front command post.
The Aerial Fortress gradually unravels its transparency from the heavenly edge of the castle, which lies at the centre, and at the end of the day exposes its full contents under daylight.
Immediately after further complete deconstruction of the transparency, the semi-circular base portion of the aerial fortress is divided into several blocks, like a flower petal, packed open, and three pile-like objects are exposed from the inside.
It also looked like a foot for landing an aerial fortress, but it wasn't actually such an easy thing.
"I don't know what you're going to do... you look kind of fucked up!?
At the tip of Colonel Barr's gaze, who groaned so with a cold sweat that for some reason had overflowed, three piles protruding from the bottom of the fortress in the air bore lightning that gradually increased in intensity.
"All units, alert all personnel!! We need to evacuate to the trenches until we have another life!! Hurry!!"
"" "" Roger!!
It was when Colonel Barr's orders instinctively perceived the crisis were running among the soldiers of the 1st Brigade Combat Regiment.
"What the hell!?
The lightning of the three piles becomes one lump just centered on each other, emitting intense light.
And that intense light gradually concentrated, gloriously illuminating the center of the anti-tank defensive position protected by the Fourth Brigade Combat Corps when it became a muscle of light as if it were emitted by a searchlight.
"It's just a search light...... is it? What are you..."
I didn't understand the meaning of the enemy's actions, and it was when Colonel Barr grumbled like that.
A black flash flows through the muscles of light stretching from the fortress in the air.
Then, after a moment, an anti-tank defensive position with soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Regiment is wrapped in red lotus fires, and the roar that just breaks the tympanic membrane fills the area and shakes the earth violently.
"Lie...... whoa!?
"Colonel!!
Lieutenant Colonel Rommel caught Colonel Barr in a hairy spot about to be blown away by an awesome shockwave that came late, pulling him from the trenches into the front command post.
"Sorry. Thanks for the help."
"Yes, no, I'm glad I made it"
At his discretion, he pulled his hand and pulled it inside the front command post before falling firmly into the floor with both hands, and at the end of the day, Covered to protect Colonel Burr from the shockwave, Lt. Col. Rommel blushes with a face that is now likely to be described as handsome rather than beautiful when he again understands himself and Colonel Burr's posture.
"Lieutenant Colonel...? I can't stand until you let go of my hand."
"Ah, su, sorry!!
Colonel Barr tells me so, and Lieutenant Colonel Rommel stands up first and lends Colonel Barr a hand when he slowly releases his hands in a hurry but at all costs.
"I would have liked you to help me too if I could... no, it's nothing. I'm talking to myself."
The Serpent soldier, who was watching the Aerial Fortress with Colonel Barr, was brilliantly blown away by things with shockwaves and blown blasts that struck the trenches because no one could help him.
And when he came back in front of the front command post with countless small wounds all over his body, he said so, but with a sharp glance of Lieutenant Colonel Rommel, he withdrew his foreword and went back to his placement with Yotayota and an unrestrained foothold.
"That's right... what's the blast!? What happened to the soldiers in the 4th Brigade Fighters!?
"Wait, Colonel!! It's still dangerous out there!! Oh, already, Colonel!!
Colonel Barr, who stood up with Lieutenant Colonel Rommel's hand, said so as he remembered hah, shaking off the stop again and jumping out of the front command post into the trench.
"Oh, my God..."
Beyond Colonel Barr's gaze, who shrugged so loudly, a black mushroom cloud was forming that gradually grew and became huge.
The sight is reminiscent as if after the use of nuclear weapons, freezing Colonel Barr's spine.
"Then there's no trace of him..."
The earth that became the heart of the mushroom cloud is now covered in smoke and you can't catch a glimpse of it, but it was easy to predict that the sight was almost certain to be miserable.
And Colonel Barr's predictions were correct. The earth, which was exploded by the black flash emitted by the Aerial Fortress, was in the surface portion. Every 4th Brigade Combat Regiment anti-tank defensive position was deeply determined and craters like meteorites fell could be made.
In other words, that meant that the weapons and soldiers that were there were wiped out without leaving a single charcoal to wipe out their roots.
"Enemy, here comes the second shot!!
Such words pop into Colonel Barr's ear, who was wary of the fact that many of his compatriots had vanished in an instant.
Shortly afterwards, if I looked at the Aerial Fortress, that muscle of light would have stretched again.
It also goes towards the city of Pompeii.
"Run, whoa, whoa!
"Colonel, get down!!
Lieutenant Colonel Rommel pushes Colonel Burr down from the sidelines who shouted so unexpectedly toward the city of Pompeii.
A black flash runs and explodes at the same time as the two fell over the bottom of the trench, the hard ground.
Then, after a slight ground shake occurred, the dust, which pushed like a tsunami, poured into the trench and bogged down.
"Gehoggyho, Colonel......? Are you all right?
"Gehu, somehow............"
The two of them, covered in dust and dust, will see to each other's safety as they cough.
"... the city... what happened?
"The mushroom cloud is made, but the city is… there is… the enemy attack seems to have been less powerful than earlier"
Whereas the first blow out of the liver had created a mushroom cloud to the extent that tactical nuclei were used, the city of Pompeii was spicy and alive, although it was now made of mushroom clouds within a total weight of about 6800 kilograms, BLU-82/B, which accounted for about 5700 kilograms by explosive weight alone - using a commonly known as Daisy Cutter, which blows away structures on the surface.
"... good"
The attack now left the city of Pompeii, which I thought had disappeared, with two people stroking their breasts down first, but soon they would be thrust down to the Don bottom of despair.
"Ya, Colonel!! Communication from brigade headquarters interrupted!!
That's what I shouted when a telecommuter with a squeezed radio ran over to Colonel Barr with a crying face.
"What!? - No way, with the current attack!?
"Probably..."
"Fuck off!!
Colonel Barr eats and ties his teeth, realizing that the second shooting was weak only to shoot through the joint headquarters of the 1st and 4th Brigade Combat Corps, which was placed in the city of Pompeii.
"The Aerial Fortress is retreating!! Oh, he disappeared... Ku, I can't see the Aerial Fortress!! Supposedly transparent again!!
"Enemy forces deploy magic barriers!! Start Forward!!
But Colonel Barr didn't even have time to eat and bind his teeth.
Although the Aerial Fortress slowly retreated with a spear without firing a third shot, it was because the Imperial Army, which was forming on the opposite bank of the Negative River, began its march full.
"Reach the battalion of field artillery, concentrate all fire in the front of the enemy and don't let the enemy cross the river!!
"Roger!!
Connect me to division headquarters.
"Connected, please."
"This is Colonel Barr of the 1st Brigade Combat Regiment. We lost the majority of the 4th Brigade Combat Regiment and the headquarters of both Brigade Combat Regiments due to enemy attacks. Ask for immediate air support and rescue."
"This is division headquarters. Air support and rescue are not readily available as Imperial Army counterattacks are currently under way in all battlefields, deal with them on your own. '
"You said you were on your own!? I can't do that. Permission to withdraw."
'No, I can't allow you to retreat. If the city of Pompeii, which you defend, is pulled out, the enemy forces will penetrate the rear of our defensive line, and the defensive line itself is in danger of collapse. Protect the city at all costs. I'll send a rescue unit as soon as we're done forming a unit, that's all. "
"Damn...... hello then!!
To the ruthless circular brought by the division headquarters, Colonel Burr lowers his fist to the desk in front of him.
"Colonel..."
Only Lieutenant Colonel Rommel's voice sounded small as a dark shadow fell on the face of the soldier packing into the front command post and wrapped in heavy air.
And it was when everyone was about to be swallowed by despair.
"- This is the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Battalion belonging to the 4th Brigade Combat Regiment!! Commander is dead in action!! Repeat, Commander is dead in action!! I can't even get in touch with HQ, someone give me instructions!!
"This is 2nd Mechanical Squadron. 1st Mech Squadron Killed!! We escaped difficulty while we were supplying but what do we do now!?
"This is the 4th Brigade Combat Battalion of Field Artillery!! Ready to fire, but we don't know enemy coordinates because the observer is dead in action, someone please instruct enemy coordinates!!
The surviving voice of the 4th Brigade Combat Regiment flows out of the radio.
"... fine. Anyway, I can't say it stinks anymore. And I'll do it as much as I can!! Thorough fight!!
The voices of soldiers from the Fourth Brigade Combat Regiment who lost more than half of their power and sought instructions instead of thinking about retreating despite the fact that most of their companions were killed and trying to prepare for combat with their enemies ignited Colonel Barr's struggle.
She also said she abandoned herself.
"Lieutenant Colonel Rommel, we will absorb the remnants of the 4th Brigade Combat Regiment and slap the enemy!!
"Roger!!
"Communicator, notify all personnel!! I'll take full command of the 1st and 4th Brigades from now on!!
"Got it!!
On Colonel Barr's orders, the soldiers regain their vitality and move out in haste.
"Reported from the Field Artillery Battalion!! Start surface controlled shooting by rocket bullets!!
"All right, now we can buy some time. We'll get our troops together now."
The battalion of field artillery starts shelling as ordered earlier, and a large number of rocket rounds strike the Imperial Army first.
The first shooting on the Parabellum side took place in World War II when the German army mounted a frame structure on the side of the Sd Kfz 251 semi-tracked car, which is familiar with movies and so on, and Vulflamen 40 was fitted with three multi-shell rocket launchers at a time.
Equipped with 30cm Navel Verfer 42, a high-performance rocket grenade, and 28/32cm Navel Verfer 41, a 28cm rocket grenade and 32cm rocket incendiary shell, Vulflamen 40 rushes to replenishment as soon as they fire all the ammunition while being wrapped in the smoke that accompanies rocket fire.
These rocket rounds require more accuracy than conventional artillery shelling, and they have to be heavily weighed and take a lot of time to reload.
By the way, Vulflamen40 has been successful in operating as a support weapon for manoeuvrable tank units in historical reality, especially in downtown areas.
"Bouncing...... now!!
Numerous rocket rounds roar wind cuts, simultaneously landing rounds and enveloping the Imperial Army with smoke that was about to tackle the river crossing of the Negative River.
In addition, the battalion of field artillery of the 4th Brigade Combat Regiment, temporarily incorporated into the 1st Brigade Combat Regiment and referred to as the 2nd Field Artillery Battalion, was notified of Imperial Army coordinates, and the world's first self-propelled multiplexing rocket guns developed and used by Soviet forces in World War II, 82mm BM-8 and 132mm BM-13, commonly known as Kathusha, began firing rocket rounds in pursuit.
Concentrate the firepower of M-8 rocket rounds (caliber 82mm) and M-13 rocket rounds (caliber 132mm) that are inexpensive and capable of mass production to prevent enemy advance.
Even so, because solid fueled rocket rounds with black powder or double-base powder (a mixture of nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose) being used as fuel have a simple structure that is tailless and uninduced, the only way to calculate the angle of shot from the weight and range of rocket rounds used is to fire in an approximate direction, and Kathusha was able to mount rocket rounds above and below eight rails per unit and fire a total of 16 rounds in a row, but he still had no choice but to compensate for that shortcoming by intensively shooting large quantities of rocket rounds into the target because he could not expect the same hitting accuracy as Vulflamen 40.
However, as a result, Vulflamen 40 and Kathusha were good at surface control in a short time, and their presence value was higher than that of the various wildfires only now that they were required to number more than their accuracy.
By the way, the structure of the weapon itself is very simple, similar to the rocket bullet it fires. Kathusha consists of a launcher with parallel and fenced iron rails mounted with self-propelled trolleys and rocket bullets, and a support frame that adjusts the support direction and angle of shot. However, instead of the old ZiS-151 multipurpose truck for the Kathusha trolley deployed to the 4th Brigade Combat Regiment, a multi-purpose work vehicle that boasts a high minimum ground height and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system, equipped with a secondary transmission and reverser, and is also suitable for working at ultra-low speeds and bad roads, and is also the source of a large number of military vehicles - a unimog was used, which greatly improves traversability and mobility, thus greatly saving time for position conversion.
"- Let the tank unit carry out a manoeuvre defense while striking the enemy who is looking for a breakthrough from that position trail."
"Ha!!
"Colonel, the smoke will clear."
Colonel Burr, who had given orders to each unit by turning the bursting sound of rocket bullets into BGM, took his binoculars when he heard the report.
"... Ok, you've sharpened quite a bit of your fighting power with the current shelling"
"Yes, sir."
When the blast smoke that was rising to the sky was blown into the wind and the vision was clear, the landing of rocket rounds made it look like the moon, and the remains of the Imperial Army soldiers were rolling in large numbers.
However, many soldiers who disappeared without a trace due to shelling were unable to confirm the exact outcome.
Still, it was only certain that it would frustrate the march of the Imperial Army.
"Don't miss this gap, with a field artillery battalion cannon -"
"Colonel!! There is a change in the enemy!!
"What?"
Colonel Barr, who was about to strike further at the Imperial Army and desist from the offensive, peeks into his binoculars as he looks back surprised at Lieutenant Colonel Rommel's screamingly stained voice.
"The body is glowing? Huh, gone!? What happened..."
Colonel Barr squeezes his binoculars in surprise at the sight of a rolling corpse emitting light and disappearing as a particle of white light.
"Colonel!! The enemy, the enemy!!
"What the hell is this... you think the enemy is back?
If Lieutenant Colonel Rommel told me to change the direction of my binoculars, the enemy soldiers who should have died where the Imperial Army was first in formation were once again in formation.
And the soldiers, who were supposed to be dead, start marching again as if nothing had happened.
"... tell the 1st Field Artillery Battalion. They're closing in on an enemy with a bullet."
"Ri, roger."
One shell is fired at the enemy by order of Colonel Barr, who was watching the Imperial Army that began the march with a pulling face as if to see it even in the ghost.
"Three, two, one to bounce...... now!!
A 15cm howitzer fired by a Hummel self-propelled gun left a shuddering, sharp wind cut sound and went overhead, hitting the middle of the enemy.
The flash blinks sharply, the firepillar rises and the smoke blasts pollute the sky.
The bursting 15-cm grenade then tore down a large number of enemy soldiers and disrupted their formation.
"... sucks"
Colonel Barr, who did not blink one in a series of sights and watched as he ate in, wanted the anticipation to come off, but was centered in Dompisha and held his head.
"An army of immortals, dammit!!
At the end of Colonel Barr's gaze, the bodies of soldiers who were supposed to have been blown away by 15-cm grenades and dusted into wood became particles of white light, before their supposed dead soldiers were resurrected in their first standing position.
It was as if it were the same sight as when the character died and rispawned in the game.
