6. Attack on the Chariot (XIII)

As an army that was branded with the characteristic mark of "exchanging human lives with technology" at the beginning of its establishment, the Alfheim Defense Force paid special attention to the use of artillery. Not only did it develop from the original "Wooden Conscience Cannon" to today's wide range of artillery covering various battlefields. It also attaches great importance to artillery and artillery training, and as a year of artillery slapstick ahead of the times, it is not difficult to engage in a few rounds of fake artillery extensions.

In the course of an hour, the artillerymen gave full play to the "glorious tradition" of letting the logistics department scold their mothers. 60,000 shells repeatedly washed the gaps in the walls of Azugrana and the nearby ruins, the 305mm self-propelled guns, which were constantly firing like machine guns, had to stop to cool down, and the mortars that hit red were being ceaseed fire in batches. Later, the fourth, and at the same time the real extension of artillery fire, began to smash steel and explosives into the city, and the long-awaited bridge-building chariots and sappers quickly added temporary passages over the moat, and the chariots covered the armored sapper battalion through the GuΓ² steel plate bridge and the collapsed city walls into the city.

The assault team slowly entered the Azugrana in search formation, and under the cover of the chariots, the commandos followed closely behind with small broken steps. Two anti-aircraft Leopards followed on both flanks, and the muzzles of the twin 37 anti-aircraft guns pointed upward. If any "self-destructing hero" wants to jump out and make some kind of surprise, the rapid-fire anti-aircraft cannon will tear him to shreds in an instant.

Although the artillerymen swore that no one would survive the baptism of shells, the condition of the Bilinius Pass was ...... Letting their oath be a little more credible, the Commanders followed the standard step-and-tan coordination process.

The armored engineer battalion quickly entered the city. The infantry behind them began to sweep away the remaining remnants of the enemy on the city walls, and the white coats of the chemical defense company began to assemble dangerous special shells and cylinders. All of them are being carried out in an orderly manner.

Surprisingly, the heavy artillery, which could exert great power in street fighting, did not enter. The commandos immediately ceased operations after occupying the previously bombed block. The infantry units did not follow up either, they seized the time and built fortifications on the chariots. Occasionally an angry Castilian warrior or two came out, and was soon put down.

The sporadic gunfire became more and more sparse, and finally there was an eerie silence.

The engineer battalion stood guard in defensive formation, with the muzzles of their guns pointed in any direction that could be attacked. There was not a single target in sight on either side of the street, and there were no civilians - all the residents were hiding in their houses. Peeking through the cracks in doors or windows, peeking at their enemies. The Commander could feel the look of horror and hostility. They made him uncomfortable.

"How much more time will it take?"

Major Sherman asked Corporal Krekamp, a communications corporal, and the little corporal pressed the headset and receiver, and after communicating with the rear through the guΓ² radio for a while, he looked up and reported:

"25 minutes. They are assembling those shells. Captain Eberhardt said those things were dangerous. The procedure must be followed. ”

The "25-minute ......" looks at the beautiful streets that have not been affected by the shelling. The Major leaned over and grabbed a handful of dust and watched as the sand slipped through his fingers and drifted in the direction of the harbor. When there is only a pinch of yellow left on the hand. Major Sherman pointed to a house and said slowly:

"Sue sΓΉ salamanders, start there, set fires. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The corporal nodded, shouting into the microphone. Soon, three Salamander-like fire-breathing chariots converted from Leopard chariots drove up, and under the horrified gaze of the Castilians, a fiery dragon spewed into the wooden house.

Almost instantly, countless people ran out of the house. For a time, the farmer frowned, and the women and children wept. The cry of "Charlemagne set fire" shook the city.

Everyone thought that the "compulsory lesson" after the fall of the city walls during the siege - the massacre of the city was about to begin. With the exception of a very small number of people who could not walk or preferred to die in their own homes, all ran madly to the deafening volley of guns, and most of them ran to the cathedral or the harbor, hoping for the protection of the Mother Goddess and the Church, or to escape from the harbor and ascend to heaven.

The residents were all frightened, and not a single one of them stopped to look around. If someone had done so, he would have found that after setting fire to a few houses, the Wehrmacht commandos would again go on the defensive, without making any further advances. In addition to killing some of the defenders who tried to fight back, most of the gunfire was also fired into the air to create an atmosphere of terror.

The Defence did not want to engage in a bloody and chaotic street battle - a protracted house-to-house battle, where each building was fought over and over again, leaving countless corpses behind, and finally leaving the victors in ruins. There was even a strange situation in which one army occupied the first floor of a building and the other occupied the second floor, and the two sides engaged in a brutal fierce battle to the death, but in the end the two sides only exchanged positions with each other.

They don't have much time to waste in the city, and now, they need some means to solve the problem quickly...... Before that, you have to stay at home and wait for the lovely citizens of the disaster to rush to the streets.

"Within half an hour, the battle will be over. ”

Captain Eberhardt, the commander of the Chemical Defense Company, looked serious, and his colleagues and officers nodded with suspicious expressions.

The captain, who has a Ph.D. in chemistry, could only shrug his shoulders, took the microphone, and gave an elegant order to his men in white hazmat suits with red and white octagonal armbands pinned to their left arms:

"Let's go. ”

The chemical mortars fired a salvo of shells that landed on the crowded streets, and the shells, marked with yellow triangles and skull symbols, landed without exploding, and large quantities of yellowish smoke spilled from the shells. At the very front of the street position, the cylinder valve was opened, and the same yellow mist spread against the ground and downwind. The yellow gas, with a faint fruity aroma, rushed towards the unsuspecting crowd, and several curious children inhaled it a few times.

This may be ignorant, but it may be the right one.

One after another, people collapsed, and the same symptoms appeared to them - dizziness, nausea, chest tightness, foaming at the mouth, spasms of limbs, difficulty breathing. The children, who had inhaled the smoke in large gulps, had stopped moving, and the inhalation of high levels of nerve gas hastened the process of death, and the pain lasted only a minute before it ended. Adults who are physically stronger than them will suffer one more minute of sin.

Sarin, scientific name isopropyl methfluorophosphonate. A by-product of the insecticide, the brother of Tabun and Soman, one of the early nerve gases.

The first time it was put into combat was in the subway in District 11, causing thousands of casualties. Next, its coquettish figure can also be seen in the chaotic Middle East. This deadly gas with a fruity scent is harvesting life in Azugrana.

Captain Eberhardt was satisfied with the sarin gas with internal designation G3, compared to the less toxic Lewis gas and mustard gas. The new gases are more toxic and difficult to defend against. Even if the victim covers his mouth and nose, skin contact with sarin can be fatal. Residents who have been driven out of the streets will soon report to the Mother Goddess – a process that can be unbearable if it is mustard gas.

May the Mother Goddess connect these souls.

Captain Eberhardt, a devout, prayed silently, and turned to his unfaced colleagues and superiors. On the positions outside the city. The creepy screams were still so clear that they would have made those who heard them believe that they were coming from their own side. Officers who have seen bloodshed and killings can't keep their reserve anymore.

"There are still 20 minutes. Sir. ”

The captain provided a time to determine the death of most of the inhabitants, continued to add:

"After 20 minutes, please fire incendiary bombs to clean up, before that. Please do not let any soldiers into the city. ”

Commander Dietrich, who was like hell, nodded silently. The general then instructed the staff officers to issue the order, including several special units.

The soldier carrying a metal detector confirmed that the procedure was working properly. Accountants are clumsily putting on gas masks. Although organophosphorus poison gases have the property that fire can be removed, no one can guarantee that they will not happen in case.

The task force of the Accounting Department is not on combat duty, and the metal detectors in the hands of soldiers are not used to search for mines.

Their job is to bring the precious metals, works of art, books and classics in the city...... and other high-value items, all of which are registered and packed and taken away. Considering the practice of many wealthy people hiding precious metals in splints or underground. Detection equipment is indispensable, and even a gold tooth in a grave can be spotted in the presence of this latest metal detector.

Books and documents are numbered by specialized personnel - only textual materials that can be linked to the number of the file are valuable, and if they are damaged, incomplete, and incorrectly numbered, they are just a pile of dated parchment, meaningless.

The sculptures and frescoes were not forgotten either, the professionals of the armored engineer battalion knew exactly how to dismantle a sculpture without harming the statue, including the base, and the task force had enough chemical tape to take away every mural in the ancient city.

While the task force looted loot, Stasi's Einsatzgruppen would advance with the help of the Chasseur Battalion. They scrutinize every street, every house, with their vital detection glasses. Sometimes it is necessary to use a relatively primitive tool - a specially adapted stethoscope to monitor the walls and floors. If you find a fish that has slipped through the net, you will be eliminated immediately.

When these two groups of men and horses were done, the main business of the armored engineer battalion came.

In accordance with the orders of the General Staff, they are to systematically and once and for all destroy the Azugrana in the meticulous style of the elves. Reduced this thousand-year-old city to scorched earth and rubble.

Under this cruel command and the raging poison gas, not a single living human could leave the city in Azugrana, and not a word could be said about what had happened here - new weapons, never-before-seen tactics, strange soldiers in Titans uniforms.

Not only Azugrana, but also Girona.

In Girona, the Stasi Einsatzgruppen and the medics are busy. They are busy separating the inhabitants, first men from women and children, and then from those who can work and those who cannot. Eventually, strong-born young laborers were selected and put on the train with rifle butts and bayonets. The rest of the old and weak women and children cried and screamed for the "next train". A large pit has been dug outside the city, and bulldozers are on standby......

The train headed north, and the men crammed into the carriages like cattle were anxious about their fate and that of their families. No one knows exactly where the KZ train will go, and what fate awaits them.

KZ, Cazzit.

It is pronounced much more concisely than the full name of the Elvish, "Konzentrationslager".

The train driver blew his whistle and flipped the binder hanging by the side, which marked a place called "Katyn."

It was a dense forest, on the edge of the Principality of Rus' near the Arctic Sea.

Three years ago, V.E paid the intelligence agency of the Principality of Rus, "Oklana", the Bureau for the Protection of Public Safety and Order, and since then there has been a single-track railway to the forest. The freight train went with a full load of people, potatoes and other crops, but no one ever came out of the forest, as if they had been eaten by the forest...... (To be continued......)

PS: Guess the small theater

Li Lin: Yesterday's winners were poor Nameless and Marcus! Congratulations!

Nidhogg: Today's question 1.What is the internal number of sarin gas, G3, what is the stem? (Note: In Gundam Z, an organization named after a giant attacked for the first time, and then its reputation plummeted, and it didn't stop until its demise.) Question 2.Place name: Katyn. What is the prototype? (Hint: Pingduzhen Lu's big wave of resentment exploded, one of the great deeds of Comrade Steel, and what happened to the bear that year...... Everyone, hurry up and take action!
