The uprising in Paris ended hastily, tens of thousands of people who revolted poured into the streets, thinking that they could set off a nationwide war, but in the end, they were greeted by the armor and sharp guns of the armored core force, Polson was indeed ruthless enough, and the insurgents were all executed according to treason, if it were not for the leftist action experts who predicted and prevented the escalation of the subsequent uprising in time, Porson would soon use the still large armored core force to carry out nationwide suppression on the grounds of domestic infiltration of foreign spies, If this continues, those precious revolutionary blood will soon be mercilessly slaughtered in this asymmetrical battle.

The Left and the rebel army led by it soon went into hibernation, there was no more excesses, and the whole country fell into a terrible dead silence, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the coming army, how much of a storm would they stir up in Europe?

West Coast, France.17 December 2039 (English)

The mighty expeditionary fleet finally converged on the evening of the 15th, and the Egyptian detachment set out from the Red Sea a few days in advance to avoid being pursued by long-range fighters from the French mainland in the Mediterranean.

Along the way, the reconnaissance planes and fighter planes of the coalition forces of various countries kept flying around this huge fleet, taking pictures of the cruisers and air defense destroyers that were stuck outside the edge of the core area, and equipped with an unknown number of standard 2 missiles so that these fighters did not dare to get close to the core area for half a step, so these ill-intentioned surveillance were just surveillance, and did not make any excessive moves...

After several days of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at the west coast of Europe in the early morning of the 17th, and in a mist they saw the steep shore, and on the cliff near the side of Cape Finisterre, Spain, it was faintly visible that above it stood heavy batteries made of reinforced concrete, the largest of which could cripple a battleship with a displacement of 50,000 tons.

Those are heavy fortresses capable of firing 710mm twin guided rockets! In order to prevent a major war that may break out at sea in the future, therefore, the maximum range of the fortress rocket artillery is 130 kilometers away, and the position where the fleet is located is actually not so safe, although there is morning fog blocking its view, but everyone is not stupid, knowing that once dawn, the mist will inevitably disperse after the sun rises, and by that time these ships will become ready-made targets, so the fleet must sail away from the Bay of Biscay, which is guarded by this giant battery, before dawn, and their goal is not here, Rather, it is close to the French coast on the British side ...

"I've been watching this place for a long time, and I'm panicking!" Looking at the steep coastal cliffs with a telescope, the strong fortresses were connected one after another, Nock rarely showed the uneasiness in his heart, Pan Yilong saw it in his eyes, turned around and got together with a few good friends in Battalion A and Company A to discuss the next course of action, Bob glanced at the French military uniform that had just been issued, and also wore a heavy military coat, although the blue-gray military uniform design was not as good as the training uniform worn on the island before, but it had a unique taste when worn on the body; Bob stepped on the rubber leather boots, and the sound of Gadaga disrupted the conversation of Pan Yilong's group, and one of them couldn't help but turn around and shout: "Don't show off, if you want to be idle, take a few people down to see our equipment, don't count the difference!"

"I've already counted them, a bunch of old M16 and Famas-F1 assault rifles, and a batch of automatic rifles about the same length as the M14, which seem to be called M1C, used as precision rifles in the company, but there are few with scopes."

"I heard there are horses? What age is this TMD still riding? It's really worthy of the title of cavalry battalion! ”

"That's a turtle used to pull supplies!" Bob responded: "The car itself is not enough, and when the time comes, the only ones who pull supplies and strain patients will take up more than half, and you say you still want to own one by yourself?" Fart! Let the chief know, you have to die to death! ”

"Our landing task force here is only a little over 27,000 people!" One person said: "The equipment is not good, is it okay to be shoddy like this?" Aren't you afraid that we will suddenly run away while fighting? We're an elite troop anyway! Cavalry, what about tanks? Where did it go? ”

"Our elite is reserved for the enemy's elite to eat!" Pan Yilong's poisonous tongue mercilessly provoked several people next to him to scold him for not being a person, and he could say such vicious words? But he said in a blink of an eye: "The commandos of our first division have begun to cross the sea, right?" Let's go, brother, go up to the deck and take a look at the situation, can you hold back a flower here? ”

"Let's go!" Bob also urged to get on the deck, and everyone braved the fierce sea breeze, and many crew members standing on the edge of the deck watched the two dock landing ships that sounded the alarm and began to mobilize, and a moment later, with the slamming of the gate at the tail, more than a dozen hovercraft rushed out with a bang, and at 3 o'clock in the morning of December 17, the largest cross-sea landing operation in human history was launched from behind an island in the middle of the Bay of Biscay.

The French Expeditionary Force gathered 279 ships, including 52 warships of foreign allies, with the Baltimore-class Columbus, the capital ship of country M, and a Mistral-class amphibious assault ship of France as the core, launched a fierce offensive on the coast of the Brittany Peninsula, countless high-explosive incendiary bombs hit the strong defenses, flames and hot shrapnel flew in all directions, but did not cause any damage to the defenders here. In the depths of the position, the officer of the Combined Army in charge of defense looked at the huge fleet at sea with a happy face, and couldn't help but dial the satellite phone, and said to Prime Minister Polsonsavage, who had just gotten up in Paris, France, and was preparing for the morning court: "Your Excellency, the expeditionary force has arrived at the defense area, and they are about to land."

"Well, I know, continue to send people to stop them, remember, after leading them to the center of the defense line, gather them in one fell swoop, don't act too soon!"

"Yes! Adults are like gods! After a few compliments, he hung up the phone and stood confidently inside the defensive line, observing the movement on the sea outside.

"The target is on our right, 3300 meters away!"

More than a dozen hovercraft full of soldiers are arching on the beach at full speed, the surroundings are quiet, except for the roar of the waves crashing on the reef, the landing team did not encounter any enemy attack, they are anxiously observing the situation outside, clenching the guns in their hands and not daring to make a sound, until more than half an hour later, after the landing craft hit the soft sand, they re-raised their breath, under the leadership of the team leader, opened the doors on both sides of the hovercraft, and took the lead in jumping on the ground, this layer of dense fog on the sea surface in the early morning became an excellent cover, Nearly a thousand recruits rushed inland under the cover of dense fog, and the vanguard stepped on the soft wet sand with guns in hand...

Dozens of warships gathered on the sea, nearly 40 kilometers away from the second line of defense with long-range counterattack capabilities, Baltimore's magic modified main gun is still firing, the slender main gun emits dazzling firelight, in such a long distance through the fog is still clearly visible, the fleet consumes shells to frantically wash the ground, making the battle huge, but there is no precision strike from aircraft and missiles, let alone the shadow of any landing craft on the sea, after a long time, the officers in the defense are a little confused, Looking at the empty beach...

"What about the ones you said you were going to land? Why do you only use artillery bombardment, and you are not even willing to use aircraft missiles? So what are you doing here? ”

"Sir, will there be fraud?" The officer on the side reminded him in a timely manner;

"Let the unmanned reconnaissance plane take off and take a look, I don't believe they came all the way here to blow up a few cannons, otherwise this battle will end too easily."

On the other side, on the British Channel Islands in St. Malo Bay, the expeditionary force, which had just established its footing, dragged its tired body, turned on the radio station and replied to the fleet in the rear: "The bridgehead has been established, and the observation plane has departed!"

"Okay, let's see what Cherbourg is like now!" The supreme commander of the French army, Jean. Kathy. General Nolan was standing in the war room of the Mistral attack ship, looking at the location of France on the map of Europe, and stroked his beard thoughtfully, and after a while, news came from the bridgehead that a small number of enemy fleets were detected in the port of Cherbourg, to be determined, and there was no movement to attack the fleet of his own side, according to the information from the intelligence station, there were about 7,000 armored core troops left in the city, General Cassie nodded, and said to the adjutant general behind him: " It looks like our allies have cut off several defensive points in and around Cherbourg... Order the advance team of the 1st Division to march to Cherbourg in the north and launch an attack on time at 6 o'clock this morning! The 2nd Division is preparing to attack the Brest Line, waiting for news from Cherbourg to come before attacking! ”

"Received the order, the first division set off!"

Everyone was ready, Pan Yilong tightened the buckle around his waist, due to the strong wind at sea, they had to put on the heavy military coat, and then bring bullets and weapons, a Combine standard protective mask and a light helmet made of polymer material on their heads, and hurried to the hovercraft, Nock gave orders to his squad leaders at the same time:

"The Supreme Commander issued an operational order for us to hurry to the port of Cherbourg and take it, and the men of my 105th Regiment will carry out the assault as the vanguard, remember, avoid attacking the port ships, capture them as completely as possible, and the crew and other technicians must not kill them unless they have a clear intention to resist!"

"Hell, don't let the gun fire, it's much harder than landing!"

"Then why don't you go to Brest for an armed swim?" Pan Yilong smiled at Bob, "How good is this?" There are no machine gun forts, no gun nests, and no annoying waves, so why not? ”

"Boom~" The tail cabin hanging door of the landing ship opened, everyone climbed onto the hovercraft, and there were swimming BMP armored vehicles covered with rubber air cushions behind them, and the commanders of each regiment wore tactical goggles on their heads, and a FAMASF1 rifle hung on their chests came to the center of the team, climbed into their respective command vehicles and shouted to set off, and everyone immediately started the vehicles, and more than 160 landing echelons composed of landing craft and armored vehicles rushed out of several transport ships like a sharp spear, Then it roared on the surface of the sea and rushed to the shore 30 kilometers away.

Pan Yilong's transport ship sent a brigade of troops, he and his friends belonged to the first brigade of the first division of the expeditionary force, a lightly armed chaser unit under the command of brigade commander Trikas, everyone sat in a closed round tank, there were only hard benches and strong seat belts, a transport boat can transport 73 people, it takes more than two trips back and forth to transport all the people, Pan Yilong sat between Bob and Tom, absentmindedly looking down at the round chapter on his chest, as if remembering something, Reaching out and taking out a small pendant from his pocket, there was a photo of his mother in it... His ears were blocked by the wind and waves and the roar of the engine, he couldn't hear what people around him were talking about, and it probably had nothing to do with him, his mind was only on this only remaining photo...

"Will our actions go down in history like World War II?" Someone can't help but ask

"Definitely, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself! Behave well! ”

"Hmph, make a contribution~" The other pouted disdainfully, "Is it for the French or for those moths in country M?" It doesn't seem to matter if we live or die? It's all willing to come over and raise your hand... See, how many came voluntarily? And how many were forced? This is really a joke, the victory is also to add officials to others, and it has nothing to do with our group of people who joined the army and sent them to death, and there is no place to bury them when they die, don't you think the four words of meritorious service are particularly ironic here, everyone? ”

"Shut up!" When Nock heard this, he coldly scolded the man, who pursed his lips disdainfully, and muttered a few words to himself, Nock got up and walked up to him when he heard the news, grabbed him by the collar and threw it on the bulkhead, pointed at his nose and said angrily:

"No one wants to come to this place to fight for the French! Do you think it tastes good under the fence? What are you here for? Are you here to make a career? Hypocrisy! You know in your own heart why you came, we are all the same people, except for the identity of this captain and battalion commander, I am just a young man working in the countryside! But I came, you came, he came, we all came, why did we come? No one is voluntary, but who would choose to live if there is a reason to live? ”

The recruit looked at Nock in a daze, and didn't make a sound, Pan Yilong looked back here, only to see Nock take half a step back, reach out for him to tidy up his wrinkled military uniform, and then patted him on the shoulder, his tone was a little soothing

"Joining the army is not the only way out, honor is for others to see, it's useless, this era is not suitable for talking about those big truths, no one will listen, not to mention that you are a student, why do you want to come here? Can't you read the book well? Where did you graduate? ”

"Japan... Kobegawa Maritime University... My name is Miichi Matsushima, I'm sorry Captain. ”

"You gave up a good career..."Nok said to him with great regret, "You can ignore your own feelings, vent loudly in a place where no one is around, everyone has been under pressure, release is right, scolding is also right, but you have to take into account the feelings of other people around you..."Nock said to him in a slow tone,

"There are some things that you should say, but what you shouldn't say, don't ask for trouble, not to mention that we live in a cage, people have been locked on this planet for forty years, except for infighting, how can we ever pay attention to what is happening above our heads? They all know our every move..."

Nock let the guy sit back down, the cabin fell silent again, everyone thought as if nothing had happened, and began to wait uneasily for the next moment of the battle that was about to break out, Pan Yilong thought next to him: "I thought it was a Chinese, but it was actually a Japanese, is I really the only guy here who escaped from China?"

...

Four forty a.m

The Combine patrolling the harbor was walking heavily on the breakwater of the Cherbourg military harbor, and the thin morning fog revealed a strong murderous intensity, but they were unaware that the waves were hiding all the movement around them. When passing through the shadow of a cruiser, more than a dozen black shadows rushed out of the corner in an instant, and they directly put down this group of soldiers without saying a word when they met, the patrol looked at the wet black shadows with a frightened face, they did not have the standard equipment of the rightist coalition army, the old rifles and backward individual equipment, the rough military uniforms were dry and wrinkled like tofu skin, and the figures around were crowded, and when they came back to their senses, they only saw countless black shadows crossing the hovercraft air cushion hidden under the breakwater, and climbed over the towering embankment, Rushing into the harbor like the wind, the group, under the leadership of a captain, quickly occupied the area, including the cruiser behind them, and the more than 200 sailors who were still sleeping in it were captured on the spot, and then dragged out of the cabin and knelt on the deck...

"What the hell is going on?" The commander of a certain battalion in charge of guarding the port came to the top of the guard tower in the port, looked at the sea with a searchlight, and saw dozens of hovercraft on the sea with their engines turned off and silently pushing themselves to the shore with seawater jets, and they were loaded with expeditionary soldiers from the east and west sides of the breakwaters on the east and west sides of Cherbourg Harbor to stop quickly, and a group of black shadows that suddenly appeared like ghosts rushed down from above, and then galloped towards this side, the latter was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly ran to the phone to dial, but a pair of big hands suddenly pressed down, he looked up, a huge figure stood in front of him, and he was dumbfounded.

"The C and D battalions of the 105th Regiment of the Trikas Brigade have rushed into the barracks of the harbor defenders..."The E battalion and the Nok A battalion that had already landed on the shore to control the front line of the harbor stood on guard, looking at the more than ten warships moored in the harbor, and the others also pounced to control them, occasionally heard a few gunshots from inside, but in the end they were still controlled, and then the commander of the B battalion who was in charge of the capture came from the breakwater on the other side with a team of men and horses, with a few blood marks on his face, obviously he had experienced a fierce battle just now, But it's good to come back without danger

"How's it going?" Everyone gathered together, Pan Yilong followed the team and glanced back at the garrison camp, where the battle had basically been resolved, Nok nodded his manpower, and then said: "The follow-up troops will come to take over the prisoners in a while, and we will continue to move forward to occupy the entire port area before 5 o'clock!"

"I have a doubt!" Pan Yilong raised his hand, Nock nodded and motioned for him, and then he said, "Our landing went so smoothly!" Did you find any? ”

Everyone looked up at the city, the main city of Cherbourg was built in a basin, standing in the port and looking at it from afar, the city in the basin was pitch black without a trace of light, there was no movement at all, and even the sound of dogs barking could not be heard, Nock's heart sank, and he immediately ordered: "Send a reconnaissance team to disperse the action, find a way to figure out the movement in the city, don't exchange fire, we will now go to confirm the situation in the port again, and directly build a defensive position here after confirming that it is correct, but the action must be fast!"

"There are too few prisoners!" The commander of the B battalion then said to Nock: "Counting the largest ship, there are only eleven ships in the whole port, one cruiser and two destroyers, and the rest are all small gunboats, and a total of 300 people have been captured!" Thirteen or fourteen more destroyers could have been parked in such a large port, but now they are all gone! This could be a real trap! ”

A number of soldiers quickly dispersed the cordon around, and at the same time inspected all corners, during which some soldiers reported that they found a lot of mines buried on the road leading to the residential area in the port, and the way to bury the mines should be some kind of bouncing mines, and they were just recently planted, which frightened the group, but fortunately did not rush deeper, which also aggravated everyone's thoughts about the ambush in the city, and the soldiers did not dare to step forward.

"I'll lead the team." Nock proposed: "I will take the men of Battalion A from the southern slope breakwater, although there will be some detours, but I can avoid these small roads leading to the port area, I will try to figure out the situation in Cherbourg, we can't stay where we are all the time, the main force of the follow-up attack is waiting for us to empty the port, if the threat is not cleared in time, maybe the next offensive plan will be delayed."

"Hey, I'll go too!" The battalion commander of Battalion B led the team over, Nock nodded, looked at the regiment commander who was writing and drawing on a blank map, the latter raised his head and pushed his glasses, and said, "Be careful, be careful of other traps!" I'll keep the Scout in touch with you. ”

"Battalion A depart!" As soon as Nock waved, 600 soldiers quickly left after him, looking at their backs, and the rest of the team said to the soldiers around them: "Don't be idle, gather these captives, point out their ranks and positions, and then divide them into custody!" Wait for the main force to arrive and hand it over to them to clean up! ”

...

"You are military advisers to the German side?" The French army's Italian-French border post stopped three guys wearing old German ParKa forest spotted military uniforms, and the sentry stepped forward to interrogate the bald man in the lead, who took out a military registration card written in German from his pocket, and there was a photo on it, which looked like nothing unusual, but the soldier always felt that something was wrong when he looked at the appearance of these three, and repeatedly checked the document, and finally decided to make a phone call to confirm the authenticity

"It's... Understood, sir! After the soldier had finished confirming, he returned to the three, who took back his documents and asked him tentatively: "I want to ask, how is the war in the west?" Did they (the expeditionary force) have news of the landing? ”

"This has to be asked of the senior officers, we have no right to intervene, we do not know the situation in the west," the sentry replied, "Now that the border is under martial law, we have to guard against the infiltration and invasion of the leftists from the border, so please forgive me."

"Oh, so do you know where the nearest city is?" He asked, and the sentry stretched out his hand to the side of the guide, "The city of Nice is about 19 kilometers from here, and is home to the 44th Mountain Infantry Division of Dyjels... I'll keep the commander there informed, and hopefully this will help you get on the way. ”

"Thank you!" He said that the three of them got back to the car, started the car and left the checkpoint, and then headed straight for the city of Nice.
